Chapter 74 Omens of the Storm
The incomplete and complex spell model on the homepage has many traces of alteration.
At first, Luo Ang didn't understand what the alteration marks were.
But after reading the subsequent content, Loen confirmed the reason for these alterations.
This incomplete and complex spell model is not the 'original'.
Instead, after seeing the incomplete spell model elsewhere, the wizard Winnie memorized it and then reproduced it in his notebook.
The altered record was made by the wizard Winnie later when he was researching the "Heartbeat Resonance" spell. Based on his research, he corrected the incomplete spell model to make it more consistent with the six nodes of the "Heartbeat Resonance" spell.
He believed that the spell model he initially described differed from the actual spell model, and that his initial memory contained errors.
The subsequent corrections were an attempt to rectify this error.
With these alterations, Loon could no longer be certain whether the structure of this incomplete spell model was correct or flawed.
"Has the Crimson Wizard seen this spell model before?" Loen asked.
To his surprise, the Crimson Wizard actually knew about these incomplete spell models.
"These things," the Crimson Wizard waved his hand, "the Thunder Wizard had better not waste his energy on them."
Then she began to tell her about the origins of these items.
The plane they inhabited was a barren, minor plane—a plane that led to the central continent.
But it didn't lead to the central continent from the very beginning.
This plane did not belong to the Central Continent from the very beginning.
This is a plane that has been conquered by wizards.
—In this plane, wizards are both outsiders and conquerors.
In the earliest times, the limit of this plane was not the fourth-rank wizard apprentice.
In this realm, there are also powerful individuals at levels three and even four active.
But after the wizards' conquest, everything in this plane became their spoils, including the plane itself.
After the wizards who came to conquer left, the limit that this plane could accommodate became the level of fourth-class wizard apprentices.
In the process of the wizards from the Central Continent coming to this plane and conquering it, they naturally left behind many traces and relics.
Over the long course of time, most of the relics and traces left by our predecessors have been seized by later generations and transformed into their own resources and wealth.
However, these incomplete spell structures, node models, and so on have ultimately survived and circulated in various places.
It is said that these incomplete spell structures all come from level one or even higher spells. Therefore, as long as you have enough talent, you can disassemble some brand new level zero spell models from these spell structures.
If you're lucky enough, you might even be able to find enough incomplete structures to piece together and complete them, eventually forming a true level one, or even a higher-level spell model.
Before meeting Loon, among the wizard apprentices that the Crimson Wizard had encountered, there was one who tried to sell his incomplete structure to the Crimson Wizard for a high price in this manner.
The Scarlet Wizard, of course, was not deceived.
If it weren't for what happened today, that memory would have been completely forgotten by the Scarlet Wizard.
"I remember that wizard told me that the original copy of this incomplete spell model was also a kind of currency among wizards."
"I'll have to check my diary for more specific details."
"I wonder if I wrote that passage in my diary." The Crimson Wizard frowned and recalled for a long time.
If she had known that other spells could actually be extracted from this incomplete magical structure, she wouldn't have mistaken the wizard who came to make the exchange for a fraud.
If an apprentice who hasn't even finished meditating can still deconstruct a "Heartbeat Resonance" spell from this incomplete spell structure, then if she had exchanged that spell structure back then, wouldn't she also be able to deconstruct a spell-like spell, or even a level zero spell?
Thinking of this, the Crimson Wizard felt a faint pang of regret.
"I see." After listening to the Scarlet Wizard's explanation, Loen nodded, indicating his understanding.
……
The terrain near the stormy seas in the central continent resembles an inverted 'Ω' symbol.
The coastlines on both sides curve and converge, forming a large bay in the middle.
The stormy sea area is right at the entrance to this 'Ω', and it has locked that entrance.
The shortest route from one end of the 'Ω' to the other is to cross the stormy sea.
The closest landing point for those wanting to disembark from the stormy seas is naturally the two sharp points on either side of the 'Ω'.
Normally, the shipping lanes in stormy seas should be incredibly busy, with gold flowing along them.
Every island along the shipping route that a ship could dock at was incredibly wealthy.
However, the actual situation is not like that.
Of the fleets from the central countries, only a small portion are willing to take the stormy sea route.
Many fleets prefer to spend more time taking a detour along the edge of the storm zone rather than crossing it directly.
The reason is quite simple—it lies in the name "Storm Sea".
In the stormy sea area, fog lingers and never dissipates—almost every day, fog drifts across the sea, sometimes thick, sometimes thin.
In addition, storms and thunderstorms frequently occur in the storm-prone sea areas, and the timing of these storms and thunderstorms is completely unpredictable.
Sometimes, it might not happen for months.
Sometimes, this happens several times a month.
Even if the fleet is not destroyed in the storm and thunderstorm, it will inevitably be derailed by the storm and thunderstorm and eventually get lost in the fog of varying thickness.
For fleets at sea, encountering a storm or thunderstorm means financial ruin.
The day after the rescue of the Beluga Whale, and the fifth day after leaving the Orchid Islands, the fog in the sea suddenly thickened, the wind speed increased rapidly, and the rain poured down relentlessly.
The rain mixed with the fog, turning this daytime into night.
This is a sign of a storm or thunderstorm!
Within a day at most, a terrifying storm or thunderstorm will sweep in.
"Respected Thunder Wizard." In the pouring rain, Teon, draped in a raincoat, approached Loon.
"The signs of a storm are already here. Judging from the looks of it, a huge storm will occur within a day at most. Should we find an island to take shelter on?"
"Let's find a suitable island nearby to take refuge," Luo Ang said.
"You decide on the direction, find a suitable island, and Andy will guide you ahead."
"Don't worry about those reefs."
