Chapter 690 Blood Interpretation
Joan sat at the desk, resting his chin on his hands, staring at the empty flask in thought.
The blood stored in the kobold warlock's body is enough for him to perform seven more "blood readings", just like there are still seven chances to draw a lottery. What prizes he can finally get depends largely on luck.
Of course, Joan can cast spells repeatedly until the kobold warlock's blood is drained. Unless he is extremely unlucky, he can always get one or two useful spells in the end.
However, he hated this kind of resignation and the randomness beyond his control.
So, is there a way to eliminate the interference of randomness, and only need to cast "Blood Interpretation" once to analyze all the spells?
"Blood Interpretation" is only a level 2 spell after all, and its magic power level is too low. No matter how optimized it is, it is impossible to achieve its goal once and for all.
In addition to optimizing the spell configuration, Joan has another idea, which is to use the No. 4 Rune Rune Ansuz with "Blood Interpretation" to strengthen the interpretation effect of spells!
The Ansuz rune, which symbolizes "revealing the mystery", can be used as an identification technique in itself, and has a high degree of fit with "blood interpretation", it is worth trying!
Thinking of this, Joan decided to immediately start to verify this idea.
He first poured out the corrupted blood in the flask, performed a "magic trick" to clean it, and then used a quill pen to draw the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the inner wall of the flask.
The next experimental procedure was similar to the previous one. Joan took a pint of fresh blood from the kobold warlock's corpse, poured it into the flask, and shook it evenly to ensure that the blood was in full contact with the Ansuz runes.
Next, Joan cast a spell on the blood in the flask again.
The casting ceremony of "Blood Interpretation" was successfully completed, and Joan stared at the flask with a trace of nervousness and expectation.
Perhaps due to the influence of the Ansuz rune, the blood in the flask was bubbling and bubbling, as if it had been heated to a boil.
Plasma steam escaped from the bottle mouth and slowly spread in the air, forming a cloud of light red mist.
In this cloud and mist, rows of small glowing runes emerged, faintly visible.
Joan quickly checked the flashing runes in the blood mist, and was pleasantly surprised to find that each row of runes corresponded to a complete arcane configuration!
The results of the experiment confirmed his expectations. Thanks to the magical power of Ansuz runes, the effectiveness of "blood interpretation" has been greatly enhanced!
It only needs to cast a spell once and consume a pint of blood to interpret all the spells mastered by the kobold warlock without reservation!
Joan took a deep breath, restrained his excitement, approached the condensed blood mist in mid-air, and carefully examined the interpreted spell.
In the mist, there are a total of more than ten glowing runes, which belong to 0-3 level arcane spells.
Joan has already mastered all the 0-1 level spells shown in it, so there is no need to look at them again.
Among the 2nd level spells, there is only one that he has never learned, and that is the "Visual Link" belonging to the "School of Prophecy".
This spell is fun. The caster can establish an invisible spiritual connection with the designated subject. During the duration of the spell, no matter where the subject is, the caster can use the other's eyes to observe.
With this spell, the caster can see things that would not normally be possible to observe directly.
For example, cast a "visual link" on a mouse, and then throw the mouse into the burrow. The caster is outside the burrow, and can switch his perspective to the mouse at any time, and use the mouse's eyes to observe the environment deep in the burrow.
In addition to the "visual link", Joan also analyzed two three-ring spells from the blood of the kobold warlock, which are the "deep sleep" and "stinky cloud spells" that the kobold warlock just cast in the battle.
"Deep sleep" is an enhanced version of the 1st ring "sleep technique". It has a higher upper limit of magic power and can make more and stronger creatures captured by tiredness.
"Stinky cloud spell" is an upgraded version of the 2nd ring "cloud mist spell".
Creatures with insufficient physique would feel nauseous and vomit as long as they inhaled a stinky cloud. In this extremely painful state, the combat effectiveness will of course be severely weakened.
To cast the "stinky cloud technique", it needs to be paired with spell-casting materials that also have a strong pungent smell, such as spoiled and stinky eggs, or a piece of skunk cabbage.
The caster can also improve the spell-casting material by himself, so as to adjust the spell effect of the "smelly cloud spell", obtain the smell corresponding to the material, and greatly strengthen it.
For example, if the material of the spell is changed to a bottle of perfume, then what the spell creates is no longer a "stinky cloud", but a large cloud with a strong fragrance.
Qiao An read the three luminous runes representing "Visual Link", "Deep Sleep" and "Smelly Cloud" twice, and kept them in mind. Afterwards, he picked up the quill pen and wrote these three spells to himself in the spell book.
Just after copying the spell, Qiao An suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the tent, from far to near, as if they were coming straight to him.
He immediately put away the spell book and waved his hand to cancel "Blood Interpretation", the blood mist in the air disappeared, and the magic runes disappeared.
Before Joan could clean up the flask containing blood, Angel's call came from outside the tent.
"Joan, is it convenient now? Ryan and I want to talk to you."
Joan got up and raised the tent, motioning for Angel and Ryan to come in and sit down.
Angel and Ryan had just approached the tent, and immediately smelled the bloody smell coming towards them. They couldn't help but looked at each other, and walked into the tent with confusion.
"Joan, since we are friends, I'll just say it straight. You hid the corpse of the kobold warlock in your tent. Could it be that you really have some kind of special hobby as others said?" Angel said straight to the point. ask a question.
"Of course it's not what you think. I brought back the corpse of the kobold warlock just to facilitate blood drawing, and use its blood as a material to study a very interesting spell." Joan said truthfully.
"What kind of spell is it, is it convenient to tell us?" Angel asked curiously.
"Using blood as a material for casting spells sounds a bit evil. Is it necromancy?" Ryan looked a little uneasy.
Necromancy is mostly dark and evil, and it is most unsuitable to spread openly in a civilized society. Therefore, even if the major arcane law schools do not explicitly prohibit the study of necromancy, at least they will not promote it.
For example, the Arcane Library of Midgard University contains hundreds of spells, including the eight major arcane schools, but the necromantic school has significantly fewer spells than other schools.
In fact, there are far more Necromancers in the library than those on public display, but every Necromancer must be reviewed by the "Collection Committee", and if there is any inappropriateness, it will be shelved and cannot be borrowed by students.
