The trolls are not on the same level as the previous Blood Shadow Island group, and everyone in Dawn Castle is preparing for the battle seriously.
All the weapons and armor bought by Kelly were distributed, and the archers also had new arrows.
The activated craftsmen began to work one after another, re-polishing and repairing the broken armors and weapons, and making a large number of broken arrows into new arrows.
However, Allen does not need to be involved in these matters. Crete, Kelly and others will arrange it for him.
The first thing Alan did when he returned to the castle was to have a seasoned dinner, a barbecue rolled in bread rolls, some shredded peppers and carrots, tomato soup and a glass of fruit wine.
It wasn't a sumptuous meal, but it was the best meal Allen had had here.
He even thought about making some lard for cooking tomorrow and making a spicy stir-fried seafood, ribs and vegetable stew - the only regret is that there is no rice.
…
Of course, Allen was not completely obsessed with food and began to study spells after eating.
There are two kinds of spells inherited in the essence of divine magic. One is a pre-made spell that Allen can release with a wave of his hand.
There is also part of the inherited knowledge, which requires Allen to know its principles and release methods, plus a certain amount of practice, so that it will not get stuck when using it.
Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that he is studying. After all, as a magician, Allen does not need to build his own spell model like a mage.
He mainly goes through the process once, and as long as it is successfully cast, the study is completed.
The key to the magician's spellcasting is the piety of his faith and the gift of the gods, and the rest is just a foil.
Magicians also have limitations. Allen cannot cast spells that do not exist in the inheritance.
If the god you believe in has powerful spell abilities, the magician of that god can also learn a certain spell that the god is good at or a simplified version of that spell.
In other words, if Allen originally believed in the Ocean Goddess, he would be able to learn to summon advanced water elements in the future.
But now, there should be no such spell in his inheritance.
And Allen believes in himself, which means that before he becomes a god, he will definitely not have the ability to cast spells other than inheritance.
What he is currently studying is the second-level spell Burning Ray, and the third-level spell Powerful Healing Mantra.
The burning ray creates three holy fire rays and shoots them at targets within forty meters.
The three rays can be shot on the same target or on different targets. At the same time, the level of this spell can be increased. Each time it is upgraded, there will be one more ray, and the power will also increase accordingly.
This spell is one of the more damaging spells in the inheritance, so Allen plans to learn it.
The powerful healing mantra is an enhanced version of a first-level spell, which uses divine power to heal wounds and restore lost vitality.
Allen didn't want to learn it at first, but after thinking about it, he was still an ordinary human being, so he might as well get familiar with it to save his life.
…
"My Lord Allen, you are the dawn of the night. Please give me the power to help your most devout believers break through the darkness!"
After praying devoutly, Allen mobilized the divine power of his body to wave his hand forward, and three candle-sized flames flashed through the air, and then fell on the stone wall of the corridor, leaving three black spots on it.
"Well, it's easier than I thought."
This was Allen's first attempt. Although the flame was small, it meant success.
Of course, the main reason is because he believes in his undefended false god.
Then Allen tried several times, the rays became longer and longer, and Allen also memorized the casting process firmly.
After successfully releasing the burning ray, Allen did not continue to study the next spell, because the peak period of prayer for his people was coming soon.
Allen greeted Lulu twice, and the latter immediately flapped her wings and flew to his side, then opened her mouth very naturally.
Allen was not polite and inserted directly into Lulu's mouth, feeding all the divine power in his body to Lulu.
Soon, when Allen felt that the divine power in his body had bottomed out, the bells rang outside the castle, marking the official time for collective prayer.
A burning sensation immediately emerged in his body, but Allen had long been accustomed to it.
Like other people in Dawn Castle, Allen also lowered his head and prayed together, and the skin all over his body began to glow faintly.
As the power of faith flows through the body, the consumed divine power gradually fills up.
At the same time, Allen had some more detailed information about fourth-level spells in his mind - which meant that Allen had stepped into the eighth-level magician.
Next, at level 11, you will get level 5 spells, at level 13, you will get level 6 spells, and so on, level 16, level 18, and level 22, corresponding to level 7 to level 9 spells respectively.
As for the higher level of spells, they involve rules, which are not something Allen can detect now.
"This promotion process is really unpretentious and boring."
Feeling the divine power in his body, Allen couldn't help but sigh.
He had communicated with Angina that the promotion of a mage requires a sufficient understanding of relevant magic knowledge, the ability to build models corresponding to level spells, and sufficient magic power. This requires excellent talent and continuous hard work.
And at level 15, if you want to go one step further and become an archmage, you still need a flash of inspiration (luck). It can be said that the whole process is very bumpy.
The magician only depends on the piety of his faith. As long as the god he serves is happy, he can theoretically be directly promoted to level 20.
If Allen's current body can bear it, he will never be just an eighth-level magician.
Now he is enduring more heat every day, constantly tempering his body, and moving forward little by little.
The fourth-level spell Allen obtained is called Death Protection Barrier, which uses divine power to cast a death protection on the target. When the target receives fatal damage, it will be seriously injured instead of dead.
If the target is subjected to a fatal effect such as death curse, poisoning, etc., the anti-death barrier will also work, directly canceling the fatal effect.
And if the target does not receive any fatal attacks, this spell can last for eight hours, and will automatically lose its effectiveness after eight hours.
"Another protective spell."
After understanding the spell, Allen sighed.
However, this death-proof barrier is very suitable for him.
With this spell, the enemy's decapitation actions are basically ineffective against Allen.
…
…
At night, black fog descends on Nord Island.
The originally clean and beautiful port was now in a mess. Only the remains of three large crossbows on the shore were left. The blood-stained corpses were scattered on both sides of the road, being eaten by three pterodactyls.
Pterodactyls look a bit like giant dragons, but they have nothing to do with giant dragons, they are just ordinary flying beasts.
They are much smaller than dragons, almost three and a half meters long. They have no horns on their heads, instead they have fin-like crests, a row of spikes on their chins, bat-like wings, and claw-like edges.
of spikes.
These three pterodactyls have been tamed by the trolls, and it was they who helped the trolls capture the port of Nord Island.
In fact, if it were a frontal attack, the trolls would have to leave at least hundreds of corpses if they wanted to take over the port, but now only a few dozen died.
There were seven pterodactyls in total, and they led the trolls across the cliff barrier of Nod Island and directly entered the island.
Two troll squads attacked the soldiers stationed at the port from behind, disintegrating the Nord family's defenses from within.
