Chapter 172 Anuka: You must bear his child, it will surely be the strongest Snow Wolf (Riwan)_3
Of course, it wasn't just the old mage who was curious about Kael's spells; many mages who participated in today's battle marveled at the Rangers and the effects of the Compound Spells used by Kael.
Although to some extent, the power they could unleash far surpassed that of the Rangers, they were also clear that this ability to replicate effects on other professionals was precisely what was most precious.
If mages like Luxius, the Magic Monarch, were expanding the upper limits of magic, then Kael, by transforming the Rangers to bestow upon them greater Transcendent powers, was raising the lower limits for other professionals.
They were certainly not so foolish as to not understand such a matter.
The most extreme and the most universal were both fields that were the hardest to develop. Simplifying complexity and refining simplicity were domains that weren't easy to please people with, but once successful, they could often surpass the cognition of the era and achieve transformative effects.
So, the clever old mage knew what he now needed to do.
An old mage from Sirgil Duchy beamed a smile and said,
"Today, we have the rare opportunity of gathering together from all across the federation. Why don't we communicate with each other about some of the problems we've encountered in magic recently and the new breakthroughs we've achieved?"
His idea was simple: You have a piece of knowledge, and I have a piece of knowledge. If we exchange what we know, then both of us will have two pieces of knowledge.
If Kael was initially reluctant to share some of his research findings, the old mage believed that Kael would not resist the temptation to join their conversation when all the present spellcasters began their technical exchanges.
Spellcasters were all about equivalent exchange. If Kael didn't want to exchange, that meant their bargaining chip wasn't enough.
Upon hearing this, Kael's face involuntarily broke into a smile; this was precisely the scenario he had intended to lead them to. If they truly started to exchange information, Kael could completely use conscious guidance of knowledge to extract more secret spells from these old mages.
It wasn't that he looked down on these old mages, but rather the combined effect of his passive abilities, "Erudite Retention" and "Dark Knowledge," turned every minute of communication with them into a burst of inspiration.
Moreover, the sparks of inspiration that burst forth wouldn't be forgotten with the passage of time. The ability, once verified on the system panel, ensured that Kael would always grow in the field of knowledge.
The many mages who were persuaded soon joined in, and even some knights, curious, joined the conversation.
Although most of the time they were in a state of, "What the heck are these mages talking about?" As the primary users of many spells, they could still offer some guidance for the mages.
Before long, the atmosphere at the scene was elevated, with goblets and beer, liquor intertwining, people of varying heights, weights, and ages merrily indulging in their own pleasures.
Gradually, as conversations unfolded, some content about spells also spread incidentally. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire
"Lord Kael, hic... I find you quite agreeable. The Compound Magic you executed earlier must have borrowed from the recent publicly released, hic... Levitation Model, right?
I... I am the main researcher of that model. I'm telling you, based on our current research on Magic Models, you... you could completely by absorbing specific Wind Attribute Monster's Beast Blood Essence, transform their inherent spell-like effects...
I always feel that Curse Knights need to ensure continuous combat effectiveness and adapt to different scenarios with the optimal combination of extreme spells. That is the real guarantee.
You must believe me, this is the guarantee that Curse Knights can remain active on the world stage!" the old mage with a bulbous, red nose said in a stuttering voice.
Kael nodded in agreement, took a glass of juice, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Master Enuo, you are correct, and I do agree with your views, which you briefly mentioned in your book 'Understanding Spell-Like Abilities Made Easy.'
Upon hearing Kael say this, a look of self-satisfaction spread across Master Enuo's face. A young mage whom they acknowledged had read his book and could even accurately point out what he had written.
Was this not a form of recognition for him?
Just for this one sentence, it was worth it for him to drink an extra bottle of strong liquor today.
Of course, Kael wasn't flattering; he had indeed read the book. Given Kael's current reading volume, the probability of having seen it was quite high.
"In fact, the magic practiced by my subordinates is based on the theoretical system you established at the time. You may not know this, but by using a special combination, merging Gluttonous Slime with Curse Knights, the rate of absorption of Beast Blood Essence is nearly twice to three times faster!
The new profession 'Impregnable Knight' constructed from this will abandon the complex and useless Magic System, specializing in specific targets—in short, discarding useless efforts and preemptively determining the enemies they will face.
After all, we cannot expect every soldier to have all-around capabilities. That's like using the standard of a genius to measure ordinary soldiers. Rather than doing that, it's better to focus on how to more effectively build an army geared toward a specific group of people...."
