Chapter 57 Saturation Learning
When sentences become too long, the text loses its meaning; at first glance, it's just a jumble of distorted symbols.
I feel so dizzy, and my eyes are sore.
Who knew there were so many first-level spells!
Each spell's description is complex, listing its scope, range, effects, and limitations, among other things.
Reading through Magnubier's Tintin one by one is enough to make your head explode.
"The Book of Sand, pause for a moment..."
This kind of reading isn't a solution; there are too many choices, making it difficult to decide.
"Book of Sand, help me filter the spells."
The Book of Sand cleared the text on the page, then revealed two words:
"need?"
Gebu stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said:
"I want something that can scare people, like the effect of a minor phantom, but it has to be animated and large."
The Book of Sand quickly retrieved the following text:
[Silent Illusion]
Create an object, biological or visual phenomenon, no larger than 3 meters square within a distance of 20 meters for 10 minutes. This image can change and move according to the caster's will.
The illusion will disappear if it goes beyond the casting range or is actively dispelled by the caster.
The video will not produce any sound.
3 meters by 3 meters by 3 meters—that's enough to create a golem the size of! A perfect way to scare people!
Previously, a level 0 Lesser Illusion could only create one chair at most; this spell is undoubtedly an upgrade.
Wait a minute... Silent Illusion can be used in conjunction with Secondary Illusion?
One creates images, the other creates sounds.
A scheme slowly took shape in the goblin's little mind...
This is it! The Book of Sand.
Gebu touched the spell and wrote it down—he'd write it down first, and they could practice it together later.
"The Book of Sand, for the second spell, I want one that can save my life. Like one that can block swords and arrows."
At this point, Gebu subconsciously touched the scar on his stomach left by a crossbow bolt. That time was truly terrifying; Lin almost died.
Yes, Gebu needs protection, but he doesn't want to wear such thick armor; it's too heavy and hinders his movement.
The best way to survive is to remain completely undetected—and then use a defensive spell as a backup.
Swords and blades have no eyes; if you get caught in the crossfire, you always need a backup plan.
The Book of Sand offers two options:
[Wizard Armor] [Shield Spell]
[Wizard Armor] provides an invisible protective barrier for one day—it adheres directly to the skin.
It can reduce the damage taken when attacked. It's equivalent to the effect of light armor—similar to studded leather armor.
However, this protective barrier is weightless and makes no noise. It's much better than armor.
The effect of [Shield] is to create a temporary shield that completely negates one attack—it has no effect on area-of-effect attacks.
Geb thought for a moment and decided that it was better to take the initiative than to passively defend. With his small frame, even in wizard armor, he would still be in serious trouble if he took a hit.
The advantage of wizard armor is that it lasts for a day and can withstand multiple attacks—but Geb doesn't intend to be hit many times. Once is enough.
Avoid direct combat if possible. This spell is for emergency lifesaving purposes—not for casting and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
Choose Shield!
After choosing the first two spells, Geb didn't ask about the Book of Sand anymore; he already had a preliminary idea in his mind.
"Book of Sand, please retrieve the following two spells for me:"
"Burning Hand, and Cloud Mist."
The Book of Sand quickly listed the descriptions of the two spells on either side of the page.
Burning Hand was the first first-level spell Geb had ever seen—the half-elf mage used it to burn the giant bear to death.
This spell left a deep impression on Gebu's mind:
The little goblin lay on the ground pretending to be dead, watching as flames leaped from the wizard's palm. Several meters away, Goblin felt the scorching air licking his skin... A skinny half-elf could easily kill a giant bear.
This is what a wizard is like! Manipulating such powerful magical energy with ease. Using minimal force to achieve maximum effect!
Perhaps there are more useful damaging spells than Burning Hand among the first-circle spells... but for Geb, nothing can replace the place this spell holds in his heart.
Flames can be emitted from the palm of the hand within 5 meters, covering a 60-degree fan-shaped area in front of the user for 6 seconds.
Fire damage, area-of-effect effects, cool and stylish... what's there to hesitate about?
I'll choose this one; it's both sentimental and practical!
Choosing Cloud Mist over Burning Hand was a decision Geb made after much deliberation.
The adventures at the wanderer's market made Geb realize one thing.
His path to becoming a wizard was destined to be a difficult journey of overthrowing his superiors.
Whether fighting against the Broken Tooth Tribe, against human society, or against the Gray Raven Society, as a small goblin, the enemy always has far more resources than you.
The best weapon against a powerful order is chaos.
The gold coins scattered like flowers by the fairy, the potions that were deceptively genuine, and the cloud and mist magic in the basement were the key to his profits.
Yes, it's easier to fish in troubled waters.
The Cloud and Mist spell does not cause damage; its only purpose is to create a fog of war on the battlefield.
An opaque fog wall with a radius of 20 meters will not dissipate, settle, or sublimate, and will last for ten minutes.
Since Gebu's side is outnumbered and outgunned, they need to create as much chaos as possible.
By keeping everyone guessing and unable to see or understand the enemy, we can find a gap in their defenses and defeat them in one fell swoop.
After making his choices, Gebrang Sha's Book listed all the options together and reviewed them.
[0 rings]
Secondary Phantom.
Ritual Spells
Identification techniques.
[1st Ring Spell]
A silent phantom.
Shield spell.
Burning Hand.
Cloud and mist technique.
It has illusion spells, utility spells, defensive spells, offensive spells, and battlefield control spells.
Gebu looked left and right, and seemed quite satisfied.
That's all!
Next, it's practice time. You need to memorize all six spells...
The goblin took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He closed his eyes, going over the principles and key points of each spell in his mind.
The two illusion spells are similar in nature, and practicing them simultaneously can make your efforts twice as effective.
Burning Hand, like Fire Arrow, belongs to the Evocation Fire spell family and has similarities, so it's not too difficult to learn—moreover, it's an area-of-effect spell, so it doesn't require aiming, making it easier to practice.
I've cast the Cloud Mist spell once using a spell scroll, so I have a basic understanding of how it works and it's not too difficult.
Appraisal is more of a knowledge-based spell; you just need to memorize it and remember the ritual steps...
So, the most troublesome one is the shield spell... a defensive spell, you need a practice partner...
Gebu raised his hand and summoned the Big Eye.
Big Eyes died once before, and this time it was summoned again, which cost ten gold coins.
1156 - 10 = 1146
Distressed.
Big Eyes lay on the ground, looking at Geb with a mournful expression. The goblin felt a chill run down his spine at the sight.
What are you looking at? So what if I let you take a hit? As my magical pet, this is what you should do...
"Um... how about you practice your shield spell with me, Big Eyes? Here's what you do, you fire flames at me..."
Before Gebu could finish speaking, flames burst from the toad's mouth—a flaming arrow shot straight toward Gebu's crotch!
"Huh?!" Before Gebu could react and cast a shield spell, he jumped up and the flames grazed his vital parts, almost cooking the egg.
"Big Eyes, you have no sportsmanship?!"
The goblin stared at the toad in disbelief.
The toad gave Geb no time to catch his breath, continuously spewing out fire arrows from its mouth—venting all its resentment on the goblin.
"Croak!"
I... shield... shield spell!
Shield...
Run!
In the meditation space, the Toad Rocket Launcher chased after Geb, flames shooting into the sky, and the goblin's screams echoed endlessly—
The two, one big brother and one small toad, are "happily" engaged in a desperate battle for survival... all the way to the ends of the earth.
