Chapter 27: 27. Master Vesemir is Too Fast.
After leaving the alchemy room, Allen did not go directly back to the apprentice dormitory. In the sorceress' place, the witcher apprentices only linked the Mirage Pearl with their internal magic, without yet trying its effectiveness.
Finding a secluded corner where no one was around, he took out the Mirage Pearl for identification.
[Name: Mirage Pearl]
[Type: Magic Sprite]
[Function: Consumes a small amount of magic to create a magical mirage]
[Note: Do you really think illusions can't kill people?]
Magic sprite?
So, the bead on this pendant is actually a new form of life. It was already late, and there were still three hungry apprentices in the dormitory, so Allen didn't think too much about the existence of the Mirage Pearl.
In the manner of casting a spell seal, Allen injected the magic from the mutated organ into the Mirage Pearl. The feeling of being intimately connected reappeared in his mind. The witcher apprentice instinctively mobilized magic and transported it to the Mirage Pearl with a special transmission rhythm.
*Hum*
Barely audible buzzing. A faint mist seeped out of the Mirage Pearl.
A water ghost suddenly appeared in front of him. The muscle texture and posture were clear, but the only flaw was that this water ghost was stiff and motionless.
Just as Allen was thinking about how to make the illusion move, a dull pain came from the left side of his heart. The illusion in front of him also disappeared after a wave of ripples. In an instant, Allen's face turned pale, his body weakened, and he sat directly on the ground.
[Ding! Hidden attribute Magic unlocked.]
The familiar mechanical sound rang in his ears, but the witcher apprentice had no interest in checking. His vision was dim, with countless twinkling white spots. It took nearly half an hour before he slowly recovered.
After a slight panting, Allen staggered to his feet, pondering the significance of unlocking magic. The way of casting spells between sorcerers and witchers is different.
Sorcerers perceive the energy of chaos, allow elemental forces to pass through themselves, and then integrate them through spells, gestures, rituals, and other means before releasing them in a regular form.
Simply put. The sorcerer's body is just an intermediary in the process of magic release, serving to filter and integrate. The body itself does not have organs that store magic.
Witchers, on the other hand, regardless of whether they originally had the talent to become sorcerers, will gain the ability to release spell seals after modification. The energy for releasing spell seals comes from their mutated organs. A witcher's mutated organs will spontaneously absorb chaos energy floating in the air. Because the magic released by the spell seal is tamed by the mutated organs, witchers do not need the complicated spells, gestures, and rituals to organize energy, so the release of the seal is often quick and accurate.
However. The energy storage capacity of mutated organs is limited, so the damage caused by spell seals is mostly inferior to the magic obtained directly from nature by sorcerers.
Of course. Compared to the consumption of releasing spell seals, mutated organs absorb magic much faster. Simply casting spells does not deplete the magic in mutated organs at all; instead, it consumes more physical energy.
Displayed on the panel, releasing spell seals consumes stamina rather than conventional magic points. But now, all the magic in the mutated organs has been completely drained, and the Witcher's Diary actually prompted him to unlock magic.
A new attribute.
Looking at the still lingering identification information next to the Mirage Pearl, Allen couldn't help but complain in his heart, "This is called consuming a small amount of magic? This Mirage Pearl has drained me dry, even unlocking hidden attributes."
It's really beyond expectations. However, the potential of the Mirage Pearl is still considerable.
In a battle, life and death are often decided in a moment. If Allen can master the use of the Mirage Pearl proficiently, he can create that moment himself.
The recovery time just now took too long, so Allen had to hurry back to the student dormitory with his body slightly recovered. When he arrived at the dormitory, three annoying little sparrows were sitting chattering on the bed near the door. Seeing Allen come in, they all rushed over in a flurry.
Their eager expressions made Allen think they were urgently digesting dinner, causing a slight guilt to well up in his heart.
But...
"Allen, did you see any other monsters outside today?" This was Bond.
"Allen~ Allen~ How did you manage it today? You released the Quen seal so quickly." This was Fred.
"Did you go down the mountain? I heard Letho say there's delicious stew in the village below the mountain. Is that true?" This was Hughes.
...
They're all so lively during lunch. Allen was already drained by the Mirage Pearl, and now he had to endure the spiritual torment of the witcher apprentices when he returned to the dormitory.
Pressing his right hand against his temple, which was throbbing incessantly due to the noise, Allen raised the water bag in his hand and said: "Aren't you all eager to have dinner? We have classes tomorrow morning."
Fred waved his hand dismissively, saying with an air of old age: "Studying monsters, it's fine. Skipping that class isn't a big deal. Even if we listen, we can't follow. It's better to learn the Kuen seal with you tonight and rest tomorrow morning."
Hughes and Bond nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Master Vesemir's "Monster Studies" course is indeed very simple in style, only slightly better than various meetings from his previous life. Moreover, Allen still had the essence of the water ghost's heart.
Even without discussing pity for the weak, they could learn more, and the probability of dragging him behind during high-altitude trials would be much smaller. Moreover, with the ability to save, who would be willing to watch these innocent lives disappear at an age when they should have been full of potential?
Therefore, Allen skipped Leto's blunt talk and roughly described the afternoon hunting process before starting to instruct them on the Quen seal.
Level 1 Quen involves comprehensive knowledge. In terms of seal strength and proficiency, Allen is far inferior to Master Vesemir. But when it comes to teaching these apprentices, Master Vesemir, also a genius, may not necessarily understand their pain points.
For example, the part about mobilizing internal pheromones to give instructions to mutated organs, all three apprentices had problems and didn't understand Master Vesemir's answer. This is precisely because Master Vesemir's physical fitness is too strong. The amount of internal pheromones he can mobilize is like a torrent compared to the apprentices, naturally not needing to find the shortest transmission path.
And these entry-level contents are all in the memory of the LV1 Quen seal. So the apprentices learned quickly, and after about an hour, most of them could release the Quen seal completely. Even Hughes took only an hour and a half to release a pockmarked light yellow shield.
"Allen, did you see that? I used Quen!" Hughes happily rushed to Allen.
Admiration was written all over his excited little face.
"Allen, why don't you just teach us seals from now on!"
