Chapter 31 Winter
Horn stayed in Baiyan City for three days, and after reading the books he was interested in in the library, he embarked on the journey back.
Riding on the rented horse, he returned to Deer Antler Town and went straight to the Drunkard House. When he entered the door, he saw Lina holding a piece of meat to make the snow.
Seeing the owner returning, Xuedian rushed over and whimpered.
Horn caught the snow spot that was coming, and only felt his arm sink.
Good guy! He has grown up a lot again!
Papa Parker behind the counter saw the mage badge on Horn’s chest and his eyes lit up: “Little brother Horn! Congratulations! I’ll treat you at noon today!”
"Haha! Thank you brother!" Horn touched Xuedian's back and sootheed him.
After having lunch with Papa Parker and Lena, Horn brought snow spots to the outside of the city and found a deserted grove.
During this trip to Baiyan City, Horn chose nine magics in a planned manner. Each of the nine magics has its own strengths and deals with different situations.
[Second Fireball Technique] has a wide range of killing and is suitable for dealing with large groups of enemies with high density.
[Arcane Missile] Strong penetration and short casting time, suitable for dealing with powerful individuals.
[Magic Armor] can be almost instantly activated, which can not only defend against physical attacks, but also against magic attacks, and can effectively deal with various emergencies.
[Protective Arrow] is mainly prepared for teammates. After all, Horn chose the adventurer path, and teaming up with people is indispensable.
[Monster Instinct] and [Spider Web] are one of powerful single-body control, and the other is group control.
[Greasy technique], [Hawkeye technique], and [Gluing soles of the feet] also have their own uses.
Today, Horn wants to practice secondary fireball and arcane missiles. These two primary magics are very powerful and they are definitely not allowed to practice in the town.
Let Xue light the warning, and he began to practice spells.
Initial magic is much more difficult than tricks. Even though he figured out the principles of spell casting in advance, it took him an afternoon to initially master the two magics.
An orange-red fireball the size of a fist fell on the open space. Accompanied by the loud explosion and flame light, the dead grass two meters around the fireball's landing point turned into flying ashes, and the dead grass two meters away was radially charred and curled.
The rapid spell was recited quickly from his mouth, and the purple arcane missile quickly hit a dead tree, directly punching the dead tree and blowing a small hole in the tree behind.
Horn wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. After several rounds of experiments, there was not much magic left that he had just recovered.
But he also obtained experimental data. With his current total magic power, the limit is to cast five initial magic.
This is normal. The first-level mage has not much magic power. Only the second-level mage can treat the primary magic as the main attack method, while the intermediate-level mage can instantly emit the primary magic.
In fact, most academic wizards only went out to travel after level 2, and at that time they already had enough self-protection ability.
Looking up at the sky, Horn found that the sun had set and the night was coming.
He took Xue Dian for dinner and returned home. He took a shower, closed the doors and windows, and took out the materials for the magic pet contract ceremony that had been prepared.
First, he used dark red secret rune potion to draw a standard hexagram array on the ground, then placed a miniature altar in front of the magic array, and then took out the sacrifices and placed them on the altar.
Horn called Xue Dian to stand in the center of the magic circle, and then began to recite the spell.
The essence of this magical ritual is a summoning, summoning the great beings in the dark to witness this agreement and reach a contract with its power.
The ceremony went smoothly, and the offerings on the altar slowly disappeared, as if an invisible force had eroded it.
Horn felt that there was a spiritual connection between himself and the snow point. He could feel the idea of the snow point along the connection, but due to intellectual reasons, the snow point could not communicate with the owner, and could only convey emotions such as happiness and curiosity.
"Come on, stand up."
When Xuedian heard the order from the spiritual connection, he immediately stood up. His cute appearance made Horn unable to help but touch the dog's head.
After training for a while, Horn felt a sense of fatigue, climbed into bed and fell asleep.
Time passes day by day in full magic practice, and winter is coming in full swing.
Horn opened the door in warm clothes and saw a snow-white world, the roofs of the streets were covered with snow, and some residents were cleaning the snow in front of the door.
It was snowing heavily last night, and the howling cold wind blew the windows pounding.
He let out a breath, and the water in his breath became fog when it was cold, as if the legendary swallowed clouds and spitted mist.
This is the taste of winter.
Horn raised his foot to test the thickness of the snow in front of the door, just flooding his ankles.
No big problem.
He took the snow out of the door and printed two lines of footprints of one man, one wolf on the white snow.
He came all the way to the Drunkard's House, and before he could enter the door, he heard the fiery sound of fisting.
After the winter begins, the business of the Drunkard House is getting better and better. On the one hand, people do nothing in winter, and on the other hand, because of the warm anger of the tavern, the hot spirits are like magnets that make people reluctant to leave.
Fortunately, Horn was very self-controlled and walked towards the town gate after dinner. He wanted to continue practicing magic.
After many days of practice, Horn has mastered all the nine primary magics brought back by Bai Yan City.
But casting spells is just like driving, the more you drive, the more skilled you are.
Therefore, he would come to the woods outside the town every day and squander all his magic.
Hawkeye!
Horn's perspective suddenly rose to a high altitude, scanning the earth like God's perspective. Looking directly below, you can still see the top of his head and the snow spots beside him.
He observed the surroundings.
Last time, Horn was practicing magic, and a wild boar suddenly ran out of the woods.
Then Horn brought it back to the Drunkard House and stewed a large pot of fragrant wild boar.
But this incident reminded Horn, and there was no big problem with a wild boar suddenly running out, but if a monster or an extraordinary beast suddenly ran out, it would be a little trouble.
You should know that in winter, food is scarce, and monsters and extraordinary beasts often run to the places where humans gather to look for opportunities.
Compared with the village, Lujiao Town is safer, but not absolutely safe.
Therefore, before each practice, Horn will use Hawkeye to observe the surrounding situation, and will only start practicing after confirming that there are no abnormalities. Each practice will retain a certain amount of magic power to deal with emergencies.
Suddenly, Horn discovered that something was wrong with the road in the distance. On the avenue two thousand meters away, nearly ten small black dots were fighting fiercely.
One of them was shining with light, which was the sunlight reflected by the long sword, and the other side should be a monster, which had forced humans to the point where they were backed by a cliff.
There seem to be three humans and seven or eight monsters.
Horn thoughts were like lightning, and he decided to help.
Chapter completed!
