Chapter 201 Huge Progress, Useless or Useful? Change!
Lava crystal pits.
The second layer.
Before a massive wall, Ian used the light of his clairvoyance to peer at the stone wall in front of him, only to see flashes of fiery red patterns, some deep and some shallow, on the stone wall.
A few seconds later.
"Stacked Rune Breakthrough to Master Level, Talent +100!"
Talent: 3200 → 3300!
"Finally Master level, the last Fire Rune on the second floor."
Ian opened his eyes.
I felt a little sentimental.
This year.
He had finished studying the three remaining one-ring fire runes on the second layer, namely the "Heat Dissipation Rune", "Resonance Rune", and "Stacked Rune".
From a wizard's perspective, they are all terrible.
It's fair to say that none of these three runes are combat runes at all.
The core principle of thermal ripple recording is the natural tendency of heat to disperse from concentration. Studying this is equivalent to studying "how to extinguish fire more evenly", which is completely opposite to the mainstream wizarding pursuit of "stronger and more explosive".
The resonance runes are even more outrageous.
Its surface has layers of circular patterns, and when it is on the stone wall, it produces layers of faint light whenever fire elements pass by.
Ian speculated that the rune was generated by the fire element energy of this place over a long geological period, through periodic ley line vibrations and gravitational fluctuations.
It describes "the energy amplification and storage mode at a specific frequency".
The same applies to the final overlapping runes.
It can hardly be called a rune; it's more like a record of the evolution of the local fire element, containing all sorts of jumbled information and energy structures.
This shattered some of Ian's preconceived notions.
He originally thought that runes were all the kind that could be used for combat and directly enhance combat power.
But the natural runes here completely dumbfounded him.
However, this may be the form of most natural runes.
Runes themselves are manifestations of extraordinary power.
The extraordinary is never just about bursting into battle; in comparison, the other directions are vast and boundless.
"No wonder wizards learn established runes instead of trying to decipher them themselves."
Ian suddenly realized.
Studying this type of rune is far too inefficient for the Wizarding World, which revolves around the theme of conquest.
No wonder these three stone patterns were left here.
Even for Ian, it was only after mastering these three runes that they were somewhat effective for him.
The first rune allows the fire element to spread evenly, reducing damage; the second improves the stability of fire-attribute sorcery; and the third slightly optimizes the model.
But the price-performance ratio is really too low.
It's worth noting that Ian applied almost all of his insights to these three areas to achieve this progress.
If this were applied to other forms of sorcery, it could at least bring two first-ring runes to the master level, significantly boosting combat power.
But the improvement he received from these three spells was probably less than 20%!
Fortunately, all he needs are the talent points for these runes.
Thinking about this...
He opened the panel.
Name: Ian Green
Age: 20
[Strength: First-Ring Wizard (First Crystal 35/100), Crystal Skin Rune (30/100)]
[Talent: Crescent Moon Level (3300/4000)]
[Skills: First Ring: Hand of Blazing Flames (Master Level), Four Symbols Resonance Technique (Level 1 - Expert 100/400), Robe of Fire (Master Level), Hand of Fire (Expert Level), Eye of Fire (Expert Level), Body Tempering Technique (Level 1 - Mastery 100/300), Eye of Harmony (Master Level)...]
[Talents: Photographic Memory, Multitasking, Elemental Affinity (Tier 1), Insight into Principles (Tier 1 - Cannot be Upgraded)]
Ian looked at the panel.
At this point, his talent had reached 3300 points, an increase of about 700 points compared to a year ago.
Three of the fire runes were increased by 300 points.
The reason there weren't that many was because he had already learned the basic runes of the three fire runes.
The same applies to the Fire Source Garment, which increases talent points by 100.
Although the same applies to Hand of Flames and Eye of Harmony, each increasing proficiency by 150 makes them a level above the previous spells.
Secondly, his strength has also increased significantly, and at this point he can be considered a proper first-ring wizard.
If we include those with crystal skin, like Grayson, he could easily kill him right now.
Such a significant improvement comes at a price.
It can be said that he has been improving himself at all costs over the past year, using as many magic stones and contribution points as he could.
The improvement is really great.
However, the cost was substantial, and he had no contribution points left, with only 20,000 magic stones remaining.
It has reached a historical low.
Fortunately, the progress was significant enough that Ian didn't feel any regret, even for those few seemingly useless fire runes.
But is it really useless?
Ian looked up and pondered.
For example, the first heat dissipation rune may seem ordinary, but if we look at it on a larger scale and connect it to the past life, isn't it the famous second law of thermodynamics?
He felt that this rune had great potential.
And isn't that one of the reasons he became a wizard?
Continuously study and explore the extraordinary!
Studying on his own was also one of his desires.
Moreover, he had another theory about these fire runes.
However, this conjecture cannot be discussed at this time. We can only wait until we return to the academy, pass Kieran's test, and obtain the remaining Fire Pattern Stone Wall to see if it is possible.
"It's about time we headed back."
Ian took a deep breath and walked towards the ground floor.
Along the way, there were many lava lakes, and many fire lizards were resting or even fighting. But upon hearing familiar footsteps, they immediately darted into the lava.
This past year.
This horrible human killed countless members of his people in order to hone his witchcraft.
Moreover, their combat power is becoming increasingly terrifying.
Even racial leaders who have reached the mid-stage of the first ring are almost no match for them.
"Even if a foolish magical beast is a level higher, it is still difficult for it to be a match for a wizard."
When I passed by.
Ian glanced at the creatures and felt sorry for them; they had no real intelligence and only knew how to kill instinctively.
No matter how high the level of life, it is nothing more than consumable material.
soon.
He went up to the first floor.
Just then, Magnus appeared to be inspecting the mine with two other supervisors in the distance.
Ian came out.
Magnus immediately smiled and waved from afar, while Grayson waved back.
Cecil waved when he saw it was Ian.
For the past year, Ian has been staying on the second basement level, and not only has nothing happened, but he also feels stronger every time we meet.
Although I didn't experience it firsthand, the fact that the fire lizard population was decreasing with each trip was enough to illustrate the point.
They thought Ian was a genius.
"Ian, we've been thinking about some things lately, including the possibility of redistributing resources, since you're taking on more responsibility now."
Magnus led the two of them over and said.
Because Ian spends a lot of time down there, he helps oversee the mining operations every month.
Later, he would directly review the ore from the second layer before taking it up.
The other three people completed the work on the first floor.
They had no complaints whatsoever, after all, compared to going down into the mine, this was incredibly easy.
Therefore, Magnus also intends to increase Ian's share, which has been agreed upon by the other two.
It is essential to cultivate good relationships with such talented individuals before they mature.
"Okay, but I'll have to wait until I return from the academy. I need to go back to the academy to report on my work and participate in my teacher's evaluation."
Ian said.
"Of course, the airship has arrived today, we'll take you there," Magnus said warmly.
along the way.
The wizards greeted the four of them, especially Ian, who received a respectful greeting.
This guy is a tough guy who spends a whole year on the second floor.
Ian looked at all this and smiled faintly. This was the change he had experienced in the year he had been here.
It can be said.
He has already established himself at the mine.
soon.
He saw the familiar airship.
Board the airship.
He closed his eyes to rest, while the airship returned to the academy.
