Celestial Mage

Chapter 38 What an artifact

small room.

Rosen lay on the floor with his eyes closed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

After finishing the daily meditation, I immediately called up the desktop with concentration, and my eyes fell on the new gear icon that appeared on the desktop.

Gear name: 'Sorcerer Virtual Machine'.

After concentrating on it for about two seconds, a message flashed through Rosen's mind.

"Whether to load the drill scene."

(Note: The scene will be taken from the adventure log and rendered in real time.)
Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately recited silently: "Load the moment of fighting Cyrus by the cold water river."

"Do you need help?"

"Don't help me, I want to fight alone."

"Loading. Loading complete."

In the next second, Rosen, who had his eyes closed, felt his eyes light up.

The cold water river frozen on the surface, the thick snow, and the howling cold wind are all there.

Sure enough, Lilith and Chapolei were not there, but Cyrus and the zombies were all there.

Right now, everything is motionless, like a paused game screen.

"Well, interesting."

He began to explore the specific functions.

Soon he found a skill bar, in which the skills corresponded one-to-one with the spell book.

There are currently 4 in total, namely Missile, Mage Gun, Fire Barrier and Fly.

There is a skill proficiency level on each spell icon, with a total of five levels, which are novice, proficient, proficient, master, and extraordinary.

The proficiency of Missile Art and Fly Art is novice, and the mage musket and flame barrier are proficient.

"Well, it's really like a game."

Soon, another 'spell rule library' was discovered.

Click to view it, which records the rules of the technique just learned.

Finally found a 'spell editor'.

After checking, it is found that the spells can be modified according to the existing spell rules, or new spells can be created directly.

"Spells can be created, modified, and practiced in real scenes. This thing is really a magic weapon!"

At this time, a flow of information flashed in my mind: "Do you want to start the practice of spells?"

Rosen was about to try it, and immediately said silently in his heart: "Start."

The screen moved immediately.

Cyrus suddenly turned his head to stare at him, three ashes missiles flew towards him, and dozens of living corpses also flew towards him.

Rosen didn't respond and was hit straight.

The flow of information flashed through my mind.

"The user has died, and the exercise failed."

"I'll go, come again."

The screen instantly recovered, and three ashes missiles roared towards them.

Rosen immediately used the flame barrier to resist, and at the same time used the newly learned missiles to counterattack.

'Pfft~ bang! '

The missile failed to release and exploded right next to Rosen's head, blowing half of his own head off.

"The user has died, and the exercise failed."

"Come again!"

Three missiles roared towards them, and before they were hit, Rosen was already dead.

"User has died"

"There are still blood explosions from living corpses. Get rid of the living corpses and let Cyrus and I fight one-on-one!"

"I'll go, I'll be second again! Come again!"

After being ravaged by Cyrus fifty times in the magic virtual machine, Rosen's blood burned out.

He stopped and began to review the failure experience and analyze the reasons.

The first element of failure is quickly discovered.

"It only takes 0.4 seconds for Cyrus to release a missile, and there are three consecutive missiles. The proficiency is at least proficient."

"I'm just proficient now. It takes 0.7 seconds to put one, but I can only do one. The gap is too big."

One shoots with an AK, headshot with a gun, and the other shoots with a pistol, and you have to aim for a long time, the latter is not to blame.

"Standard missiles suck, they need to be improved!"

Rosen opened the spell editor and began to try to improve it.

"Make small balls, infuse power, control the direction of flight, three-line operation"

"Then can I discard the step of the small ball and let the force rotate into a vortex to maintain stability?"

In this way, it will become two lines, the difficulty of operation will be greatly reduced, and the casting time will definitely be greatly reduced.

Do it when you think of it.

Curry's rules are actually not many, but after a lot of tossing, Rosen made it.

missile
Spell category: Extraordinary neutral logic two-star spell.

Magic power: 10.34 (lower middle level)
Spell introduction: The streamlined version of the missile has made substantial adjustments to the existing structure to meet the requirements of faster and farther casting.

Maximum casting time: 0.3 seconds.

Casting distance: 80 meters.

Casting Cost: Moderate.

(Note: The current mana can release 3 streamlined missiles in a row, but if you are not proficient, it is very easy to fail to cast spells or even spell accidents!)
How to skillfully cast spells?
Of course it is more practice.

It just so happened that Rosen had this condition.

However, he doesn't want to practice now, he just wants to improve his spells.

The 'mage musket', 'flame barrier', 'flying technique', etc. that he created before are all blind people's fooling around, and their performance is just mediocre.

Now that I have a powerful virtual machine and learned some spell rules, I naturally need to improve it.

It was already past ten o'clock at night, and it was a bit late, but Rosen was still in high spirits, optimizing spells one by one.

There is really nothing to optimize, so start practicing.

He has been practicing and practicing, and he is constantly approaching the direction of turning spells into instinct.

I don't know how long it took, but Rosen felt a surge of exhaustion, and he stopped pushing, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

For the next week, it was business as usual.

Rosen draws during the day, takes care of the tutor's daily life, studies at night, and spends the rest of the time tossing spells in the virtual machine.

As more and more spell rules are learned, the rule base of the virtual machine is gradually enriched.

Rosen also has more tools to improve his spells.

All in all, life was very fulfilling.

During this period of time, Serendis has also remained the same.

After about 11 o'clock in the morning, her temperament changed drastically, from ice cubes to raging fire, wishing she could rub Rosen into her arms and melt.

But after 6 o'clock in the evening, she immediately returned to her appearance as a dignified lady, and her every move was in accordance with the rules. She was neither cold nor affectionate towards Rosen, and kept a comfortable distance for both parties.

Although he was not used to it at first, after so many days, he has enough mental preparation.

Anyway, it is enough to treat Serendis as a severe schizophrenia.

this night.

After finishing the magic class as usual, Rosen returned to the small room on the first floor to rest.

Today's course content is relatively simple, so Rosen is not very tired.

After finishing the meditation homework, I don't know why, my spirit is abnormally excited, and the effect of the meditation method I used in the past is greatly reduced.

Not only are all kinds of thoughts in my mind 'grumbling' boiling, but I also feel that there seems to be a strange force rushing out from the bottom of my heart.

"Today's situation is very wrong, is it because you have overdone your meditation?"

"No, the meditation time basically hasn't changed."

After tossing and turning for half an hour, I still didn't feel sleepy at all. Although my thoughts calmed down a little, I didn't want to sleep in this state, and I didn't even think about entering the virtual machine.

I have no choice but to review the knowledge I have learned these days, hoping to divert my attention.

After another hour or so, my thoughts gradually calmed down, and drowsiness began to rise in my room. Suddenly, there was a soft 'click' from upstairs.

"It sounded like a window opening."

"It's still snowing outside, why open the window?"

With a jolt, Rosen's drowsiness disappeared.

　The spell is ready.
