Chapter 31 Spell Test (Part 1)

"Finally reached the first level? Not bad! You have some of my style back then!"

"I'm proud of you, my child!"

At breakfast the next day, on the long white table, Duke Carrot praised Avis first, and Duchess Elena also congratulated him.

"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!"

With the praise and blessings from his parents, Avis naturally thanked them.

"Congratulations on your advancement to the first level, brother."

After the Duke and Duchess, the little girl sitting opposite Avis, wearing a light blue dress with white wavy lace and long light golden hair hanging down to her waist, spoke cutely.

She blinked her clear blue crystal eyes and looked at Avis happily, her face flushed, and her tone was a little excited, as if she was the one who had just advanced.

"Thank you for your congratulations, Fiona.①"

With a warm smile like the sun, Avis nodded to Fiona to express his gratitude.

He intends to use his every move in daily life to establish labels for himself such as being knowledgeable, gentle and humble, and elegant, and shape himself into the image of a traditional noble scholar.

Compared with his elder and second brothers who are lords and have their own private power, and his third sister who is the leader of the Cold Wind Knights.

A scholar who focuses on learning and research always appears to be more harmless.

Fiona doesn't know what Avis thinks, she just admires her brother very much.

He can understand all kinds of course knowledge immediately after listening, and can even infer new content through the knowledge he has learned before.

His daily manners are very elegant, and he can deal with everything calmly, as if he was born with a noble demeanor.

After the class every day, he will sit quietly in the library and read those thick books with dense small characters, and even memorize them when his father asks questions!

Looking back at myself, compared with my brother, my learning speed is much slower, and I occasionally forget some etiquette...

I want to read books together, but I can't bear it. Wow! Those books are profound and boring. I don’t know how brother Avis can read them!

Hmm… It seems that only my talent is better than brother Avis. After all, I advanced last year… But the process of advancement is a bit confusing.

It seems that the initial spells that brother mentioned have not been constructed, except for the two spell models that popped up when I advanced… They should also be considered initial spells, right…?

Counting to the end with her fingers in her mind, Fiona couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged, and her cute little nose wrinkled.

…6…

At the end of the day’s class, Avis rarely went to the family library, but went to the spell test field in the castle. He wanted to test his power after the first level.

The test field is set up in an open field. According to the various types of magic, different test environments and targets are set up in the test field.

The black crystal monument to test the power of spells, living monsters of various levels, magic crystals, and magic items to test the effects of spells, as well as common objects such as ordinary stones and wood.

Since Avis wanted to experiment with spells, Leonard cleaned up the venue in advance, so there was no one in the venue at the moment.

Avis carefully activated the high-level protection and binding array engraved in the venue to deal with the damage that might be caused by the out-of-control spells in case of spell failure.

Every year, there are many wild rookie mages, who are often lucky enough to get a meditation method or a wizard's notes.

Then, after working several times harder than ordinary spellcasters, they desperately squeeze into the ranks of formal spellcasters.

However, due to insufficient inheritance and the excitement of breakthrough, these wild mages often can't wait to test spells without any defense.

There are spellcasters in the Magic Council who have done experiments specifically. When casting for the first time in this state of mental excitement, the probability of spell collapse is as high as 70% to 80%!

And when the spell collapses in this state of just advancing and not yet stable, the result is catastrophic. At the least, the spiritual sea is severely damaged, and at the worst, it dies on the spot. This is one of the reasons why there are so few spellcasters from civilian backgrounds.

After entering the venue, Avis did not directly activate the fog, but cautiously started with other spells.

After weighing the pros and cons, he chose Wind Blade as the first spell to test.

As a first-level spell with a very simple model, the power of Wind Blade can only be regarded as mediocre among spells of the same level, but its speed and concealment are very impressive.

After confirming that the defense array was functioning normally, Avis leaned on the staff and spoke in a low voice, chanting a long string of obscure Gumani syllables in a strange tone.

The staff was an ordinary family standard staff. After he officially advanced to the first level, the Duke gave him an ordinary spell book and a standard staff to familiarize himself with its use.

"Ao, ф~Jacn! do——ho——Avij! fl~Ogk, dor..."②

As Avis chanted, the colorless crystal on the head of the staff lit up slightly, and a light blue transparent wind blade surrounded by a spiral airflow took shape in front of him.

"Long time no see..."

Looking at the wind blade floating quietly in front of him, Avis inexplicably had a contradictory feeling in his heart, which seemed very excited, but also seemed extremely calm.

From the perspective of an ordinary person in the previous life, this was the ecstasy of mastering unprecedented power.

From the perspective of a seventh-level magician, this was just an instinct like eating and drinking.

Shaking his head, suppressing his complicated emotions, Avis' mind moved slightly. The wind blade accelerated instantly and flew towards the translucent seven-prism crystal column in the field.

With a bang, the wind blade that hit the prism disintegrated and turned into a turbulent flow.

The black crystal monument flickered slightly, and a bright red light column rose rapidly from the transparent black body of the monument until it was close to two-thirds of the height of the monument body, and then stopped rising.

This crystal monument was made by a ninth-level person in the Magic Council, and can more accurately measure the damage of spells below the ninth level.

Among them, the color of the light column is red, which means that the power of the spell is at the first-level level, and above it is orange light, yellow light, green light... until the eighth-level white light.

The height of the light column represents its power level within the same level. The higher the height, the stronger the power. If the light column reaches the top of the crystal monument, it means that the power of the spell has reached the peak of the same level.

"Close to the power of the first-level advanced level? Not bad."

Avis nodded lightly, feeling quite satisfied.

At the same level as himself, the wind blades that little Avis used the same mental power to send out only reached the level of the first-level intermediate.

Compared with the same period in the previous life, Avis's magic affinity and mental power quality are much higher.

This is closely related to his high absorption rate of various treasures when he was young.

Due to the memory advantage brought by time travel and rebirth, Avis was able to consciously control his body when he was very young, guide and absorb the power of various resources, and better strengthen himself.

Instead of being like ordinary children, they can only passively accept the nourishment of resources, causing most of the power to be lost in vain.
