Chapter 143: Chapter 137: Six Elements and Six Rules_1

[Night shade gradually gives way, the light of dawn at the horizon is waking the sleeping lives on the Star Spirit land.]

[The brightness of the morning grows stronger, you start feeling tired. Your limbs feel weak, your eyelids are fighting a battle, yawns succeeding one another, this condition of travel is highly dangerous, you’d better find a place to rest as soon as possible.]

[Your stamina has run out, do you want to replenish it using your lifespan?]

"No!"

As the morning arrives, Mu You decisively stopped recovering stamina.

The stamina is consuming faster than expected, he has been chased during the continuous three-hour journey, he can still fight when encountering demons and solitary knights, but has to flee when the number of chasers exceeds two.

And riding on a donkey, he can’t out-run these knights, he can only run on foot, stamina is consumed swiftly, basically every encounter with chasers would consume more than two points of stamina, he couldn’t replenish stamina as fast as it consumed, the total stamina limit of twelve points, plus a stamina refill by drinking rice soup in between, soon ran out completely.

Mu You glanced at the time, it was already seven in the morning.

The buff effect of the Vampire has reset to zero, and the character is starting to be affected by the ’Daydreaming’ curse, too weak to continue combat.

Mu You, thus, didn’t persist further and paused to log off the game.

However, before logging off, he first checked the ’Horn of Abundance’ and that bag of ’Bindweeds’ seeds.

He didn’t use these seeds overnight. Now when he poured them out, there were precisely fifty seeds in the size of soybeans in the paper bag.

Mu You took one and threw it on the grassland in front.

Then he picked up the horn and blew towards the direction of the seed.

"Hmm..."

A dull sound emanated from the horn, Mu You only felt his internal magic power was quickly drained a little, then the patch of grass in the distance started growing speedily.

Especially one plant with twining leaves, it rooted and budded at a visible speed, in a few seconds it quickly grew to half a metre high, and covered a circumference of five meters.

Countless vines emerged from the ground, like thin snakes, entwining everything within their reach.

Mu You personally went and tested it, as soon as his right foot stepped into the range of the bindweeds, the ground vines immediately sprang into life, wrapping his leg non-stop, and extending to his lower leg before stopping, if he forcibly removes one of them off, more vines would wrap around.

Soon, a large amount of bindweed vines tightly secured his right leg in spot, unable to move at all.

Mu You nodded in approval, the effect of this plant was quite good, with such a solidity, anyone being wrapped would hardly struggle free within half a minute, and such an ample time is enough for him to escape afar.

It took him some time to break free off the surrounding vines, Mu You finally got his numb right leg free, and sat on the grassland nearby.

Coming back to his senses, he got time to carefully observe the Horn of Abundance.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion but when he was blowing the horn just now, he faintly felt the crystal in his mind tremble, as if it resonated with the horn.

This feeling of resonance was very weak, if Mu You didn’t practice Wandless Casting many times a couple of days before, he much likely wouldn’t be able to detect such a subtle change with his reasonably refined energy control skills.

Mu You picked up the horn and observed its interior.

On the inner wall of the horn, visible magic circuits were carved. This thing is akin to a permanent magic scroll indeed, as soon as one blows the horn to input magic power, which then flows through the magic circuit carved in the horn, the output will be a craftsman magic. This might be the theory behind all magical items.

However, this magic which can resonate with the sorcery crystal... could it be Black Magic?

"Vivian, could you check out this horn to see if the magic recorded in it is Black Magic?"

Without awaiting any moment, Mu You rushed to Canary for advice with the horn.

After observing the horn from several aspects, Vivian shook her head: "No, it’s common White Magic of the Life Element... however, you can use the Crystal to turn it into Black Magic, and then record it on a Magic Card."

"Hmm? Black Magic can be created proactively?" Mu You was shocked.

"Of course, otherwise where do you think Black Magic comes from?"

Vivian said: "All Black Magic comes from the modification of White Magic, theoretically if you have a complete Sorcery Crystal, you can freely convert any spell between Black Magic and White Magic."

Mu You was overjoyed: "Then, can all my other spells be converted into Black Magic?"

Regular spells once turned into Black Magic would have an order of magnitude increase in power and effect, it would double his practical abilities if he could turn all his spells into Magic Cards, it’s not merely a dream!

"No, currently you can only convert this one." However, Vivian shook her head.

"Why?" Mu You was confused, but as soon as he asked he realized what Vivian had said earlier, ’if you have a complete Sorcery Crystal’...

So his Sorcerer Crystal wasn’t complete yet?

"The so-called Sorcerer Crystal is actually a Source Rule Crystal we twelve found in an ancient ruin. This intangible, seemingly illusionary crystal, possesses amazing properties. Inside it contains all six elemental systems: metal, thunder, earth, fire, water, and wind, along with the six rule systems: life, soul, holy light, curse, summon, and time-space. It perfectly encompasses all magic principles; any magic can be categorized into one of these twelve groups."

"We divided it into twelve and carved different law-encompassing crystals into our individual Sorcerer Crystals," Vivian explained their past secrecy about the origin of the Sorcerer Crystal, which was initially a single whole crystal divided into twelve pieces.

Mu You immediately understood, "So, as Twelve Sorcerers, each person can only create a single type of Black Magic?"

"Yes," Vivian nodded.

"Then the magic corresponding to my crystal is..." Mu You subconsciously asked, but he kinda had a hunch already.

"Aries, it represents wood or, in other words, Life Magic," Vivian said.

"Life Magic, huh..."

Mu You looked at the Horn of Harvest in his hands, understanding it now.

No wonder he only had a reaction to the magical circuit in this Horn of Harvest, making the plants grow rapidly. It was a classic Life Magic technique.

"What about the others? What system does each represent?" Mu You asked again.

"Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Aquarius, they respectively represent the six elemental system of metal, thunder, earth, fire, water, and wind."

"As for the rest of the six rule systems, Libra corresponds to the Holy Light System, Scorpio to the Time-Space System, Sagittarius to the Summoning System, Capricorn to the Curse System, and Pisces to the Soul System."

"This should be reflected from the initial Black Magic each of you obtained from the heritage trial," Vivian said.

Mu You paused, thought about it, and it was true!

The two Black Magic spells he got from the trial, Small Fireball and Rejuvenation. Among them, Rejuvenation is obviously a Life System spell. While the only card ’Shockwave’ that Aquarius has shown is a Wind System spell.

The other obvious connection was Sagittarius. Mu You was wondering before, the cards that Sagittarius has were all summoning-type Black Magic. It turns out her crystal corresponds exactly to the Summoning System.

Having understood this pattern, which type of magic Mu You will focus on learning in the future is clear; he has to prioritize the Life system and Wood system spells.

Mu You felt that only he knew this information at the moment. The rest, like the veteran Leo and Sagittarius, might have figured out some patterns, but they surely don’t have a full understanding.

Time to remind them in tomorrow’s meeting.

If all twelve of them prioritize studying the spells corresponding to their systems, turning ordinary spells into more abundant Magic Cards to exchange, the speed of their power enhancement can significantly accelerate!

Furthermore, the items they can exchange at Sorcerer’s meetings are not only confined to Magic Cards. If they encounter ordinary Magic Scrolls, they can keep them and trade with the corresponding sorcerer.

And in this regard, Mu You has an unparalleled advantage: All scrolls can be learned directly without being destroyed. He can take the intact scrolls to trade with others...

Mu You suddenly realized that the Sorcerer’s association turned out to be an excellent channel to trade scrolls!

The scrolls he had exchanged from the Dragon Soars program could be swapped for other scrolls at the Sorcerer’s Association, list back on Dragon Soars in return for points, and use those points to exchange for new spells...

If repeated, he could use scrolls to produce more scrolls, theoretically getting up to four new spells each week. It’s unlikely any suspicion would be raised since each time different scrolls would be listed on Dragon Soars.

Of course, this relies on the other eleven sorcerers having enough Spell Scroll stock, otherwise, he wouldn’t find anyone to trade with.

Anyway, although this plan seems a bit complicated, with the current situation where the shop is closed, and there are no freebies, this is the simplest and most efficient way to get spells Mu You can think of.

Mu You carefully reviewed the whole process and then launched the Dragon Soars program.

Considering this, the initial exchange shouldn’t be Life Magic, since his goal is to trade with others. He should offer the magic that others need, so they would be willing to trade.

Among the other eleven, the most likely one to possess the Spell Scroll inventory should be Leo.

As the highest level player with the longest history, Leo is the most likely to have some scrolls that he finds useless and wishes to trade.

Aside from Leo, it’s not the highly experienced Sagittarius, but the couple of Capricorn and Libra. The probability of two people having scrolls is always greater than one person.

Considering this, what he should be exchanging now is a Fire Element spell, and one of either Holy Light or Curse System spells.

Having established this logic, Mu You switched to the exchange page on Dragon Soars, filtering ’Middle-Rank Spell Scroll’.

In the filtering results, he compared these three types of spells and related them to his current needs, finally deciding on two types of spells.
