Bloodline Wizard's Dragon Transformation Diary

Chapter 99 Progress, Boiling Technique, Spell Synergy

"In Chilis's eyes, sharks are more trustworthy than people. I risked my life to save others during the storm, and even went out of my way to protect strangers. She couldn't understand my actions, but she respected them. After leaving Crescent Bay, she recruited new sharks, and I didn't argue with her. But I believe I made the right choice."

……

"Today, we have finally left the stormy seas..."

"Today we saw the first suitable location to serve as a port..."

……

"We decided to settle in Chashanling. On the way to Iron Sheet City, I saw farmers who lived even less like humans. This was wrong. I felt that, in any case, a person should at least be a human being—fortunately, I now have the power to make people human! At least in the vicinity of Chashanling."

"I feel extremely satisfied after killing Viscount Iron Sword."

"News came from Ironfell City today: a craftsman who was returning home from Forked Ridge to visit relatives was robbed in the territory of Baron Windmill and his entire family was killed. I went to Windmill Territory, killed Baron Windmill, and then in Ironfell City, I killed an elder of the Iron Sword family who was involved in the matter."

"Today's attempt to cast the pendulum clock has failed once again. The blacksmiths we invited have tried several methods, but none of them can keep the pendulum clock's cycle stable—even with a fixed spring, the frequency of the pendulum clock will change due to the aging of the material."

"Today, the Scarlet Wizard finally asked about the pendulum clock. I described my idea for the clock and its role in spell learning. The Scarlet Wizard asked me, since mechanical power can't meet the requirements, why not just find a knight and have him ring the clock at a fixed frequency? That was a revelation!"

"I've killed another nobleman..."

"It's strange. The situation in the central continent is clearly more stable than in the Storm Sea, so why have I killed more people?"

"I've found the reason—the people of the central kingdoms treat people even less like human beings; they truly deserve to die."

"Thank goodness I'm a wizard!"

……

Time flies, and another month has passed in no time.

For a month, Loen and the Crimson Wizard maintained their regular lives—and after things settled down, Loen began to continue writing in his diary, as well as adding to the diary entries he hadn't had time to write before.

In just one month, although only the foundation of the wizard tower in Loen's plan was laid, a road that runs through the Forked Ridge was already created.

The road begins at the village on the other side of Chashan Ridge—that village is now called Linying Village.

The meaning of a village hidden by the shadows of the mountains and forests.

After all, that was the first village Luo Ang and his group passed through, and also the closest village to Chashan Ridge, right under their noses.

That is why the village was the first to implement the 'reform' in Iron Sword Territory, and the farmers in the village were the first to enjoy 'fairness'.

In addition, the construction of Chashanling is still in its infancy and there are not enough places for others to live. Therefore, the craftsmen or laborers who come to Chashanling will choose to stay in Linying Village to avoid the cold at night and avoid getting sick.

Under such circumstances, although it was only a month, Linying Village, which was before Chashan Ridge, had already shaken off its original dilapidation and presented a prosperous appearance.

In the village, there were inns for people to stay, blacksmith shops to repair various tools, and clinics to treat sprains and bruises.

There are even taverns now!

There was also a pack of wolves in the mountains and forests—a pack that was bred by Viscount Ironsword and Viscount Bloodfang.

At first, none of them could guarantee that the ownership of Chashan Ridge would definitely be on their side, so they all allowed the wolf packs to appear in Chashan Ridge as a backup plan.

If they really lose the dispute in Chashanling, then they will let the wolf packs in Chashanling become rampant... As long as the wolf packs come out of Chashanling, they can accuse the other side and use the wolf packs to cause trouble.

However, after the lease agreement for Chashan Ridge was signed, the wolf pack was naturally wiped out.

Watching the last craftsmen carry their torches and cross the ridge of Chashan Ridge, Loon released his pre-stored Boiling spell on himself and the Crimson Wizard. After the Crimson Wizard entered a meditative state, Loon released his solidified 'Hidden Cloud' spell and entered a meditative state under the cover of the cloud.

Two weeks ago, the Scarlet Wizard finally asked about the clock, and then Loon followed the Scarlet Wizard's suggestion and had the Knight of Lulang act as the 'rhythm machine' to strike the clock at a fixed frequency.

As a knight, Lulang Knight's control over his physical body can be described as extremely refined.

The steady rhythm of the bell he struck perfectly met Loen's requirements.

With his help, Loen successfully learned the Boiling spell and confirmed its effectiveness.

After casting the Boiling spell on myself, the state of mental boiling did indeed enhance the effect of meditation to some extent—the enhancement was about five percent.

Meanwhile, using the Crimson Wizard as a test subject, Loen also tested the interference effect of the Boiling spell on wizards.

—The results were equally impressive.

According to the Crimson Wizard, the Boiling spell interferes with spell casting by about 10%, and this interference effect is very subtle.

It is not an interference that occurs by disrupting the wizard's connection to the mystical or interfering with the wizard's mental power.

Instead, it interferes with the wizard's spellcasting by making the wizard's mental energy more active, thinking faster, having more divergent thoughts, and being more likely to generate "inspiration".

This interference also involves a more mysterious level of soul and emotion—whether it blesses or hinders a wizard depends entirely on whether the wizard is an enemy or a friend, and the boundary between enemy and friend depends entirely on Loon's own perception.

If Loon casts the Boiling spell on the Crimson Wizard with good intentions, it will only invigorate the Crimson Wizard's mind and allow his inspiration to blossom, without causing his mental energy to scatter uncontrollably. Conversely, if Loon casts this spell on the Crimson Wizard with malice, the effect of the spell will be like "the mentally ill are more happy," causing the Crimson Wizard to have wild ideas while casting the spell and to temporarily "change" or "adjust" his spell model.

In short, this "Boiling Technique" has great potential.

In addition to its tangible enhancement to meditation, Loang naturally adopted the Boiling Technique as his second temporary spell.

After using the Boiling spell as a second temporary spell and linking it with the temporary spell slot, Loon immediately noticed the synergistic effect between the Boiling spell and the Concealment in the Clouds.

Hiding in the clouds and mist allows wizards to conceal themselves within them.

After Loon solidified it, the spell's effect was enhanced to some extent—Loon could generate some additional clouds when casting this spell.

This significantly increased the range within which Loon could use this spell.

After filling the second temporary spell slot with "Boiling," Loon discovered that the mist emanating from his body after casting Concealment had some of the effects of "Boiling."

It can enhance one's meditation effects and also disrupt enemy spellcasting—and it's more discreet than casting Boil directly.

Loon tried using the Boiling spell followed by the Hidden Clouds to interfere with the fog generated by the sea, thus covering the Crimson Wizard. However, even after the effects of the Boiling spell dissipated, the Crimson Wizard was still somewhat interfered with when casting spells.

The Crimson Wizard still believes that it was the Boiling spell cast by Loon that had an additional hidden effect, and has never noticed that it was the mist that was the problem.

In addition, the synergy between "Boiling" and "Hidden Mist" has another effect: after being affected by Hidden Mist, its bonus to meditation is only about one-third of that of Boiling, but this bonus can be stacked with Boiling.

After confirming this, Loen would wait until the Crimson Wizard had entered a meditative state before casting the Concealment Cloud spell and then entering meditation himself.

During the spontaneous duration of "Hidden in the Mist," the nearby Crimson Wizard will also be enveloped in mist and enjoy some of the blessing.

But the effect of being hidden in the mist dissipated before she finished meditating—so she was completely unaware of the change.
