Chapter 340 Sid's Mana

High-level enchanting techniques can indeed enchant flesh and blood and even living souls.

But in Joan's view, Liyanan's technique is obviously better than those crafts.

Because the six imprints that Liyanan had placed in his body were not specific spell configurations, nor did they have specific enchanting effects, but more like "power of myth".

Joan can use these six energies at will and decide which spells to match.

The blessing ceremony lasted less than a minute from beginning to end, but Liyanan spent a lot of energy on it.

When she finished the blessing ceremony and slowly withdrew her right hand, sweat was already dripping from her forehead, her expression looked very tired, but there was still a gentle smile on her lips.

"Joan, I have offered my blessings to you, but there are still some things I have to say."

"If there ever comes a day—I mean, if you get tired of the path you've chosen right now and stop moving forward, I'll take back my blessings, but not your life, because I'd like to believe that you can pick yourself up again stand up."

Joan's body shook, and his heart was full of gratitude. He couldn't help his nose sour and almost cried.

Li Yanan's last sentence revealed the secret that this blessing ceremony is different from the past - changing the equivalent transaction into a unilateral payment to him.

Although Li Yanan deliberately avoided talking about it, Joan could guess that performing this kind of mana blessing ceremony required her own vitality.

If the two parties make a fair contract, then Liyanan's blessing at this moment is like a banker granting a loan, and there will be a chance to get back the principal with interest in the future. It can not only make up for the vitality consumed by the blessing ceremony, but also make money-this is Liya The secret method of life extension that Nan has been using for three centuries.

But Liyanan's blessing to him at this moment is a bit special, and she voluntarily gave up the right to claim her life. This is like a banker who decides to do good deeds and lends a huge amount of money generously without asking for a copper coin's interest. No definite deadline has been set.

For Liyanan, this practice is like sacrificing part of her life to enhance Joan's ability to cast spells.

This practice of simply giving without asking for anything in return made Joan feel deeply ashamed, but apart from a dry "thank you", he really didn't know how to express his gratitude.

Joan wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and when he looked up again, he realized that a teleportation light array had risen under Liyanan's feet.

In the magic circle, the vaguely beautiful figure waved goodbye to him, then turned into a beam of light and soared into the sky, just like that, quietly disappeared at the end of the night.

Qiao An watched Li Yanan leave, calmed down his excitement a little, and activated the "inner vision" to check the benefits brought to him by the blessing ceremony just now.

As a result, just as he guessed, Liyanan's blessing injected him with six "Sid Mana", which is equivalent to a weakened version of "Mythical Power". Each "Sid Mana" can be converted into a 1st-level spell slot at any time .

What's even more amazing is that these mana can be combined freely, for example, a combination of two or two can be converted into three 2nd-level spell slots, and a combination of three or three can be converted into two 3rd-level spell slots until all six mana powers are assembled and replaced with one 6 ring spell slots.

Joan's current level 2 spell slots are only 3. Gaining 6 "Sid Mana", is equivalent to nearly doubling his basic spellcasting ability!

The second similarity between "Sid's Mana" and "Mythical Power" is that there is no need to prepare in advance.

Joan needs to cast a certain spell, and temporarily calls "Sid's Mana" to complete the match.

This is actually closer to the "warlock" casting method, obviously more flexible and free than the "mage" casting method.

In addition to the greatly enhanced spellcasting ability, Joan has an additional benefit after receiving Liyanan's mana, which is to provide cover for his "mythical power".

Both "Sid's Mana" and "Mythical Power" can be used to replace spell slots. Except for Joan himself, it is difficult for others to distinguish the difference between these two powers.

So in the future, when he has to use the "power of myth" to replace the spell slot in public, he can lie to the witnesses that he is using the "Sid mana" gifted by Liyanan, so as to avoid arousing suspicion.

...

The barking of a dog in the distance woke Joan from his long meditation.

Looking up at the sky, the night has completely fallen.

The bright moonlight shone on the road leading to Delin Town, and every paving stone reflected light, as if calling silently to him, a wanderer returning from a long journey.

Qiao An straightened his cloak, calmed down his complex mentality of being close to home, and walked towards the hometown town he had been away for half a year.

Crossing the familiar street, Joann couldn't help speeding up his pace, eager to go back to the hut where he was born and grew up, to visit his only relative in this world, grandfather Guillaume Tell, and secretly pray for his health to improve. better.

Walking along the street until the end, Joan then turned on the path leading to the back mountain.

The houses on the side of the road gradually became sparse, and the trees gradually became denser. When he finally returned to his house, he stopped suddenly, with a face full of bewilderment.

His home, the small wooden house at the foot of the mountain, had turned into ruins at some point.

A charred beam was inserted obliquely in the middle of the broken wall, like a lonely tombstone.

Qiao An never expected that such a miserable scene would greet her back, her heart twitched involuntarily.

Just when he was stunned, there was a familiar barking sound from behind the ruins.

It was Jamie the mixed-breed winter wolf, smelling the little master's breath, and galloping over cheerfully.

Joan went forward, hugged Jamie who was flying over, and kissed his furry head, and his depressed mood improved.

"Jamie, are you all right? Where's Gray?"

Jamie seemed to understand Joan's greeting, nodded solemnly, then bit the hem of Joan's clothes and tugged at it, signaling the little master to follow him.

Joan followed Jamie and approached the ruins, and was surprised to find that behind the burned wooden house, a brand new house was built in the shadow of the trees.

The size of the new house is at least twice the size of his original old house, and it is a two-story building, which looks very grand!

Just near the newly built wooden house, Joan also saw another old friend, the gray marsupial "Grey".

This tall and honest giant was rummaging through the ruins of the old house, picking out the pots and pans that were still usable one by one, and carefully putting them into a large wooden crate.

Gray stretched his arms, picked up the heavy wooden box, turned around and walked towards the warehouse on the side of the newly built wooden house, as if he wanted to store these sundries salvaged from the fire.

The barking of dogs and the sound of footsteps caught Gray's attention, and he stopped to follow the sound and looked back.

The moment his line of sight came into contact with Joan, Gray immediately raised his arms high in surprise, allowing the wooden box full of sundries to fall to pieces, cheering "Mott" and rushing over, involuntarily hugging Joan , Excitedly turned around several times before letting go of him.
