"Upgrade the Arcanist level!"

"Consume 689000 experience points."

"The Arcanist level has been raised to level 8."

"Gain arcane energy: 55 points."

…………

"Upgrade the Arcanist level!"

"Consume 793000 experience points."

"The Arcanist level has been raised to level 9."

"Gain arcane energy: 60 points."

…………

In the study, Brian was feeling the changes brought about by the level promotion, but his brows were involuntarily locked together, showing a preoccupied look.

Undoubtedly, his profession is an improved version of the Arcanist, and the upgrade requires more than twice the experience points, which makes the abilities and characteristics brought by this profession more powerful than the Netheril period Arcanist.

But here lies the problem.

When he forcibly advanced to the Arcanist profession through the Battle Mage profession, he obtained a total of three basic characteristics of the Arcanist profession.

They are Extraordinary Arcana, Ability Arcana, and Spell Master.

The main function of "Supernatural Arcana" is because he broke through the restrictions of the magic net through the ability of the BUG of the Austrian fire, and successfully contacted the deep magic net structure.

It is also for this reason that he can obtain the ability to cast spells above the ninth ring according to the level of the professional rules as when he obtained the spells below the ninth ring.

Then, according to the normal process, when his arcanist level is raised to level 7, he will get 9-level spellcasting ability; And so on until 9 rings are obtained.

But to Brian's surprise, after his Arcanist level was raised to level 9, he did not gain the corresponding spellcasting ability, and even his own Arcane Fire didn't change at all.

Bryan quickly calmed down, recalling what happened when he was an advanced Arcanist.

In just a moment, he vaguely guessed what the root cause of this phenomenon was.

Then, looking at his experience points, he decided to take a risk and try.

His current main occupation level is Battle Mage Level 10/Arcanist Level 9, which is only one step away from the legendary realm, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a half-step legend.

With his current ability and the preparations he has made to break through the legendary realm, his level has been raised to level 20, and it is easy for him to step into the legendary realm.

You know, before the City of Shadows attacked his wizard tower, he stayed in his wizard tower for nearly half a year in order to break through the legendary realm and comprehend the legendary meaning.

During this period of time, apart from assimilating the knowledge in the Nether scroll, he just recalled how he had broken through the legendary realm when he was in the game world.

Although it is only an experience in the game world, it is still beneficial.

Facts have proved that half a year's accumulation has played a vital role for him who continues to improve his strength.

After all, today's world is full of disasters and disasters, and only when his strength is raised to the legendary realm can he have the qualifications to participate in it.

He never thought that he had fought back and forth with the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult, the red-robed wizard, and the Shadow Demon Net mentor, and he felt that he could really deal with most legendary professionals.

In fact, the reason for this situation played a decisive role, in fact, it was the assistance of the mage tower of the female lord Myrcella, and the ability she transmitted to her super magician.

That's why in the Battle of Suzar, when facing the orc great sage whose strength reached the middle legendary level, even if they won, the price they paid was very heavy.

The situation at that time had reached a precarious situation.

If he hadn't spent a huge amount of money to build an ultra-long-distance astral vascular system, and barely fired a magic pulse cannon to scare away the ancient green dragon, the winner of this war would most likely be the orc army.

Therefore, he will feel at ease only if he breaks through to the legendary realm. After all, this means that he will get a big improvement.

Especially for wizard professions, wizards who have reached the legendary realm will completely distance themselves from druids, priests, warlocks, and many other peers.

Moreover, legend is a huge watershed. Only by entering the realm of legend can he further master various legendary abilities.

For example, "Master of Spells" in his Arcanist professional characteristics will be directly upgraded to "Legendary Master of Spells", and "Extraordinary Creation" will also be automatically upgraded to "Legendary Extraordinary Creation".

Regarding this, Brian was secretly grateful to Helliste for reminding him, claiming that if his strength improved too quickly, he might be stuck on the threshold of the legendary realm for a long time.

It was because he paid attention to the warning of this legendary psion, and did not go to the unrestrained frenzy to collect experience and upgrade levels, that he had the current steady progress.

With his current ability, on the premise that he has sufficient experience points, stepping into the legendary realm is a matter of course.

Brian didn't think about it any more, since he couldn't get spells above the ninth ring, he decided to try to raise his level to the legendary realm first.

After all, even if he doesn't have spells with nine rings or above, at least he can gain the ability to release legendary spells.

Although the power of legendary spells is divided into three, six, and nine grades, their level is at least around the tenth ring.

"Upgrade the Arcanist level!"

"warn!"

"An unknown conflict occurred..."

"Level upgrade failed!"

"Advanced Legendary Domain Failed!"

…………

For a moment, Brian once again felt a sharp pain in his brain.

This kind of pain was as if he accidentally touched some kind of terrible high-voltage power grid, which made his whole body, including his soul and spiritual thoughts, undergo a thorough baptism of strong electric shock.

"Fuck!"

Brian is not a person who likes to swear, but the sudden pain caused even though he gritted his teeth to endure it, he still didn't forget to utter a swear word.

This feeling is as if I was driving on an unimpeded highway with a clear goal. Who would have thought that a lift bar would appear out of nowhere and force him to stop, and he would overturn and fall badly? .

He first released the "spiritual barrier" ability as quickly as possible to relieve the pain in his mind and calm himself down forcibly, then he began to analyze the reason for the failure of leveling up.

After a short rest, after the pain subsided, Brian sipped the refreshing tea while recalling the root cause of this failure.

The bitter tea tasted gradually transformed into a fragrant and delicate taste. This pleasant freshness made Brian's frown gradually loosen.

He stood up from the chair, left the desk in front of him, stared at the wonderful scenery of the Mokou Mountains outside the window with deep eyes, and gradually sorted out the clues of failure.

This pain was not unheard of for him.

Brian still vividly remembers that when he first obtained the scroll of Nether in the floating tomb in the Underdark region, he tried to advance to an arcanist through the battle mage profession.

Thinking of this, he once again recalled what happened when he successfully advanced to the rank of Arcanist.

At that time, he once thought that his second advanced arcanist would probably fail.

As a result, something unexpected happened to him. The appearance of the Goddess of Magic freed him from the arcane imprisonment, and made Ao Huo successfully contact the deep magic net structure.

The most unbelievable thing for him was that not only was his Austrian Fire perfected into a small magic net by the goddess of magic, but all the spells stored in it were successfully activated.

It is also because of this that with these abilities of his, as long as the goddess of magic is willing, he can easily abolish his Austrian fire.

Although he instinctively believed that the Goddess of Magic, as a powerful deity who controlled the field of "magic", was limited by her own priesthood and teachings, and would never do anything to embarrass spellcasters, but what happened now The situation made Brian start to wonder if it was caused by the goddess of magic, so that he couldn't even advance to the legendary field.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.

As a god, there should be no need to argue with a mortal like him.

Therefore, he seriously suspected that the reason why he failed to upgrade his level and could not step into the legendary realm was most likely due to the arcane fire. This ability, similar to a small magic net, had reached its limit due to the continuous improvement of his own strength.

This is like wanting to make a water tank hold more water, you can only expand its area.

"It seems that the Goddess of Magic only optimized the Austrian Fire to within the ninth ring, and the subsequent legendary spells, tenth rings, eleventh rings, and even twelve rings, although they were successfully linked to the magic net, they did not really unlock .”

Brian vaguely guessed the reason.

This feeling was as if he had clearly untied the belt of the goddess of magic.

But it was depressing to find that there was actually a pair of safety pants inside, and inside the safety pants might even be a pair of briefs with cross suspenders, hollowed out and seamless lace.

Depression belongs to depression, the problem still needs to be solved.

Brian closed the window and drew the shielding light blue curtains.

Then, he sat on the chair, stretched out his finger, and the arcane fire with blue and white flames slowly floated out of his body.

The Austrian fire swayed bright flames, ripples like ripples, rippling in the air like water waves.

He didn't waste any more time, and immediately concentrated his mind, concentrating his mind on the Austrian fire, trying to analyze the method of improving strength from its internal structure.

In a trance, Brian's consciousness gradually became blurred in the shining Austrian fire. This feeling was like entering a hazy and illusory dream.

Just when Brian realized something was wrong and tried to restrain his fire and mind, a faint magical energy appeared out of thin air in his sight.

This rich magical energy kept flickering around him, as if subconsciously telling Brian that this energy was more intoxicating than any fine wine he had ever tasted.

Brian slowly closed his eyes, and opened up everything about himself, body, mind and magical intuition.

After a hazy and illusory fog passed, he saw himself appearing in a bright starry sky, countless stars the size of rice grains, shining brightly in the dark and empty space.

A pulsating band of blue and white light floated across the starry sky.

The shining blue and white light spots gradually transformed into the palm outline of a weak, elegant and incorporeal human female.

The slender palm was silent, but slowly making a gesture similar to casting a spell, as if writing some obscure magic rune.

"Hail to you, Arcane Seeker, Bryan."

A soft yet majestic female voice echoed in Brian's heart.

The delicate and elegant outline of the palm turned into a pair of eyes in the complicated and obscure gestures, staring at Brian with a smile.

His eyes are as gentle as water, like a warm current flowing in his heart.

"I salute you, Ms. Mystery." Brian suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly and respectfully.

"Do you remember how I guided you?" The voice echoed in Brian's heart, without any emotion.

"Never forgotten." He replied cautiously.

The so-called thing is to let him go to the Valley of Shadows to find a bard named Storm Silverhand.

Of course, Brian has not forgotten, and his next plan is to go to Misty Valley.

The transformed eyes in the void blinked slightly, shining with a pale golden light.

"Do you know the reason for the stagnation of strength?" The meaningful words echoed in Brian's heart.

"I would like to hear more about it." He replied calmly.

"You have two different arcane energies." There was a hint of surprise in the mysterious lady's words.

Hearing this, Brian raised his head and looked suspiciously at the pair of eyes with half-smiles in the void.

Two different arcane energies are nothing more than the magic net connected by the arcane fire and the energy of the demiplane.

Brian naturally knows these, and as the power he has mastered, he is also very clear that no matter how different the two energies are, they all come from the elemental world of the inner plane.

This is the so-called same goal by different routes, and there is no so-called conflict at all.

"As you think, there is indeed no conflict." The mysterious lady answered Brian's doubts, "Then you know, if the two energies are fused together..."

She didn't go on, but Brian had already guessed the meaning.

In fact, he has already tried it.

Undoubtedly, it ended in failure every time.

If there is really a way to fuse the Arcane Hub with his own Arcane Fire, the chemical reaction that will be produced is probably unimaginable even for Brian himself.

At least what is certain is that the improvement of his strength is definitely great.

But there is one thing that makes him very puzzled, even if he can't integrate it, it doesn't prevent him from advancing to the legendary realm, why he still fails.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized something.

"That's right." The mysterious lady's soft voice echoed deep in his heart, "If it feels inappropriate, I won't interfere with you again."

Brian recalled the words of the mysterious lady. The so-called non-interference meant that he felt that the other party had done too much, so he could completely ignore her and continue to improve his strength.

Apparently, the reason why the advancement failed was because of the intervention of the Goddess of Magic.

After all, his Ao Huo is still in the hands of the other party, as long as she is willing, she can sense the changes in Ao Huo at any time.

Thinking of the topic of the fusion of two energies mentioned by the mysterious lady, Brian understood that as long as he is not a fool, he will make the right choice.

"Ma'am, thank you for your attention." Brian said sincerely, "Here, I sincerely beg you to teach me the fusion method."

A little bit of divine light emerged.

"Go to Misty Valley." There seemed to be a sigh in the mysterious lady's words, and as the eyes in the starry sky slowly dissipated, her voice became inaudible, "The mystery of the silver fire can solve the doubts in your heart."

Seeing the disappearing mysterious lady, the scene in front of Brian's eyes also changed back to his study.

He leaned back in the chair, put his legs on the table, played with the quill in his hand, and meditated on the words of the goddess of magic.

He knew that he wanted to successfully integrate the two energies when he advanced to the legendary realm, that is, to find the Chosen Goddess of Magic with Silver Fire.

As for why the Goddess of Magic is so kind, or concerned about herself, Brian guessed that it might have something to do with the next battle for the magic net.

In the game world, it was because of the assistance of their players that the war was won against all odds.

But it's different here. In addition to the changed timeline, even Brian himself has become a loner and can only fight alone.
