Chapter 101: Learning Spells
It didn't take long for Rhodes to come to a huge tower.
Rhodes knew that, according to the map records, this was where the magic guild of the academy was located. Inside this tower, there is a place to buy spell scrolls and learn spells.
The Crow Necromancer Academy itself originated from the Magic Guild, and as such, the Magic Guild here is also the headquarters of the Academy. No matter how much the academy grows, the status here will not change.
The tower is located in the heart of the academy and is far superior to the surrounding buildings in terms of floor space and height. Half of the entire tower was shrouded in black clouds, and it was not until Rhodes approached that he could see it clearly.
Rhodes needs to exchange most of the gold coins on his body for suitable spells here.
During his journey to the City of Sorrows, Rhodes counted all the belongings in the Space Ring. There are nearly 3,000 gold coins on Rhodes' body, and there are 8 revenant crystals of different quality and a few gems.
As soon as he entered the Magic Guild, Rod's eyes looked into the center of the hall.
In the very center of the hall, a large skull sits along. The skull was even taller than Rod's, and the two large black holes in the eye sockets looked straight at everyone who entered the Magic Guild.
Just above the skull, a candle chandelier hangs, which is magically blessed and glows with a pale glow that illuminates the interior of the hall. The surrounding walls are covered in black patterns, and various lines connect the entire hall.
Rhodes walked towards the interior of the hall, taking a deep look at the giant skull in the center as he passed it.
If it is an ordinary necromancer, when he first enters this magic guild, he may think that the skull in front of him is just made by a necromancer, and there is no creature of such a huge size on the continent, and the skull is placed here just to deter the necromancer who enters it.
But Rhodes knew that the skull in front of him was actually the head of a dying Titan.
Titans once had a glorious civilization, but they were all lost in the long river of history. No one knows why the Titans died out, and after so many years, only the legends of the Titans circulate on the continent.
The mages of Bracada have always believed in the existence of the Titans, and countless mages have tried to create the most powerful Titan golems, but only a few have succeeded.
Rhodes was convinced that the skull in front of him belonged to the head of the Titan, because Rhodes remembered that in the expansion pack from his previous life, the bones of the entire Titans buried under the academy had been summoned.
After passing the skull in front of him, Rhodes came to the room dedicated to buying spells.
There was a black-robed young man sitting in the room, and when he saw Rod come forward, the young man took out a book that recorded the effects and prices of various spells, and let Rod choose by himself.
In the books, most of the low-level spells that Rhodes knew were recorded, and the price of obtaining them was clearly marked. Some low-tier spells that are very effective don't have a price tag and require special contributions to obtain.
The fourth-order spells in Rhodes' memory did not appear in the book. Even for fourth-order damage spells, there is no record in the book.
Rhodes thought as he flipped through the books in his hands. It didn't take long to decide on the spell he needed.
Rhodes chose a total of four spells, and since swordsmanship is still a large part of Rhodes' combat ability, Rhodes chose [Attack Acceleration] and [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy] to improve his melee strength.
Considering the war that would soon follow, due to the many enemies he had to face, Rhodes chose the spell [Death Ripple]. At the same time, Rhodes chose a powerful spell [Blindness].
Among these spells, [Attack Acceleration] and [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy] are of the first order, and the effect is simply to increase the speed attribute, which Rhodes spent a total of 100 gold coins to obtain.
[Death Ripple] is a second-order magic, which is the most beneficial group attack magic used by necromancers, and costs Rhodes 600 gold. Although [Blindness] is also a second-order, due to its strong effect, it can almost rely on this spell to reverse the battle, and it takes 1500 gold coins to learn.
After confirming it, Rod returned the book to the black-robed young man before, and then took out the gold coins from the space ring, because Rod had finished packing the gold coins in advance, although he took out a large number of gold coins at this time, they would not be scattered all over the place.
The young man took the gold coin, and then led Rhodes to a quiet room in the back, where an old man was waiting.
After the young man explained a few words to the old man, the old man took out three pieces of parchment with the spell and asked Rhodes to transcribe them inside the ashram.
In the process, neither the young nor the old reacted to the bats on Rod's body, and it seemed that no matter what kind of creature appeared here, they would not have any objections.
Supplies for copying are already set up in the ashram. Rhodes entered the ashram, took Elliott's spellbook from the spatial ring, and began to transcribe it.
Rhodes had just copied the contents of the scroll into the spellbook when he received a system prompt.
"By transcribing the spell scroll, you have learned the first-order spells [Attack Acceleration] and [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy], and the second-order spells [Death Ripple] and [Blindness]."
"[Attack Acceleration Lv1]: First-Order Qi Magic. Consumes 6 mana, increasing the speed of a target by 2 for 40 seconds. Experience required to level up: 10. ”
"[Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy Lv1]: First-order fire-based magic. Consumes 6 mana and increases the damage dealt by the selected unit for 40 seconds. Experience required to level up: 10. ”
"[Death Ripple Lv1]: Second-order earth magic. Consumes 20 mana and sends a death blast at all creatures except undead creatures, dealing 25 damage. Experience required to level up is 40. ”
"[Blind Lv1]: Second-order fire magic. Consumes 10 mana, causing the selected target to lose vision, and after losing 20 health, vision is restored for up to 40 seconds. Experience required to level up: 20. ”
Due to the limitation of the number of gold coins, and the fact that Rhodes himself did not possess advanced wisdom skills, Rhodes chose these spells instead of the more powerful third-order magic.
After transcribing the spells, Rhodes got up, walked outside the ashram, returned the scroll containing the spells to the old man, and left from there.
By this time, Rhodes had already made a series of preparations, and then planned to deal with the previous tasks.
Rhodes didn't notice that behind him, the black-robed young man who had been guiding him when he purchased spells was staring at his back at this time, and a trace of mana fluctuations faintly appeared in his eyes.
After Rhodes left, the young man wrote down the words "suspected hero" on a piece of paper.
