Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes Novel - Chapter 31
Chapter 31: Spell Test (1)
“Finally reached the first rank? Not bad! You have some of my style from back then!”
“I’m proud of you, my child!”
At breakfast the next day, at the long white table, Lord Karlos praised Anvis at once, and Duchess Elena congratulated him.
“Thank you, Daddy! Thank you, Mommy!”
After receiving his parents’ praise and blessings, Anvis naturally took advantage of the situation to express his gratitude.
“Congratulations on advancing to the first rank, brother.”
After the duke and his wife, the little girl sitting opposite Anvis, dressed in a light green dress with white wavy edges, with light golden hair hanging down to her waist, spoke cutely.
She blinked her big blue crystal clear eyes and looked at Anvis happily. Her face was flushed and there was some excitement in her voice as if she was the one who had just advanced.
“Thank you for your congratulations, Fi.”
With a smile as warm as the sun, Anvis nodded his thanks to Fiona.
He planned to potray himself up to be knowledgeable, modest, elegant, and other labels. He wanted to create the image of a traditional noble scholar.
As compared to his two brothers who were feudal lords had their own private forces, and the third sister who was the leader of the Knights of the Frost Wind.
A scholar who focused all his energy on studying was always more harmless.
Fiona didn’t know what Anvis was thinking. She was simply impressed with her brother.
He could understand all kinds of new knowledge so quickly. He could even comprehend new concepts through the knowledge he had learned before.
His daily demeanor was very elegant, and he was able to face everything calmly, as if he was born a noble.
Every day, after the lessons ended, he would quietly sit in the library and read those thick books with densely packed words. He could even recall them when his father asked questions!
On the other hand, compared to her brother, her learning speed was much slower. Occasionally, she would forget some etiquette…
I want to read books together, but I can’t control myself. Really! Those books are so profound and boring. I wonder how Brother Anvis reads them!
Well… It seems that only my talent is better than Brother Anvis. After all, I had already advanced last year… It’s just that my advancement process was a little odd.
However for brother, the foundational spell models he mentioned did not seem to have been constructed either. Apart from the two spell models that came out when he advanced… the other mirror image model should also be considered a foundational spell, right?
Fiona frowned.
…6…
After the day’s lessons were over, Anvis, for once, did not go to the family’s large library. Instead, he went to the castle’s spell testing grounds. He wanted to test his strength after reaching rank one.
The testing field was set up in an open field. The testing field had different testing environments and targets for the different complex magic types.
There was the Shiny Black Crystal Stele that tested the power of spells, magical beasts, magical crystals, magic artifacts, and even common stones and wood for use in testing purposes.
As Anvis was experimenting with spells, Leonard had cleared the area ahead of time, so there was no one else present.
Anvis carefully activated the high-level defensive and binding spell formations engraved on the field to offset the damage caused by the spell failure if he lost control of the spell.
Every year, there were many wild rookie mages who were lucky enough to obtain a meditation technique or a certain mage’s notebook.
Then, under the hard work of several times that of ordinary mage’ apprentices, he desperately squeezed into the ranks of official mage.
But because of the lack of a master, and the excitement of breaking through, these rogue mage tended to be impatient to test their spells even when they were unprepared.
Some mages in the Council of Magic had done experiments before. In such a state of excitement, the odds of the spell failing were as high as seventy to eighty percent!
The collapse of a spell for a mage that had just advanced and had yet to stabilize would result in a catastrophic outcomes. At best, one’s spiritual sea would be severely damaged, and at worst, one would die on the spot. This was also one of the reasons why there were very few commoner born mages.
After entering the arena, Anvis did not directly use the mysterious spell inside him. Instead, he cautiously started with other spells.
After weighing the pros and cons, he chose Wind Blade as the first spell to test.
As a simple rank one spell model, the power of the Wind Blade Spell could only be considered average among magic arts of the same rank, but its speed and concealment were very outstanding.
After confirming that the Defense Array was functioning normally, Anvis leaned on his staff and spoke in a low voice. In a strange tone, he recited a long string of obscure Gomani syllables.
The staff was a standard family staff. After he officially advanced to the first rank, the Duke gave him an ordinary spell book and a standard staff to familiarize himself with.
“Ao, ф~Jacn!do–ho–Avij!fl~Ogk,dor… ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~”
As Anvis chanted, the colorless crystal at the tip of the staff lit up slightly, and a light green transparent wind blade surrounded by spiraling air currents took shape in front of him.
“Long time no see…”
Looking at the wind blade quietly floating in front of him, Anvis was very excited, but also extremely calm.
From the perspective of an ordinary person in his previous life, this was an ecstasy from gaining unprecedented power.
From the perspective of a rank seven enchanter, this was not any more special than an instinct to eat and drink.
Shaking his head, Anvis suppressed his complicated emotions. With a thought, the wind blade accelerated and flew towards the translucent seven-edged crystal pillar.
With a loud bang, the wind blades that hit the prism dissipated, turning into chaotic currents of magic.
The Shiny Black Crystal Stele flickered slightly, and a bright red pillar of light quickly rose from the transparent black monolith. It only stopped rising when it was two-thirds of the height of the monolith.
The crystal monuments were made by a ninth-rank sorcerer in the Council of Magic of Magic. They could measure magic damage below the ninth-rank accurately.
Among them, the light pillar was red in color, which meant that the power of the spell was at level one. Further up were orange, yellow, green… all the way to level eight white light.
On the other hand, the height of the light pillar represented the level of its might within the same realm. The higher the height, the stronger the might. If the light pillar reached the top of the crystal monument, it meant that the might of the spell had reached the peak of the same realm.
“Close to the power of a high-level rank 1? Not bad.”
Anvis nodded slightly, feeling more satisfied.
When he was at the same level as past Anvis, he had used the same amount of spirtual strength to send out wind blades, but the power was only close to the intermediate level of level one.
Compared to his previous life, Anvis’ magic affinity and spiritual force quality were much higher.
This was closely related to his high absorption rate of various treasures when he was young.
Due to the advantage of memories brought about by transmigration, Anvis was able to consciously control his body at an extremely young age, guiding and absorbing the power of various resources to strengthen himself.
Not like ordinary children, who can only passively receive the nourishment of resources and lose most of their effectiveness.
