The battle with the Purple Insect is over.

Brian used magic to send a message to the goblin copper block.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, he was not in a hurry, but took the seriously injured sword mage to temporarily find a hidden tunnel to rest.

He arranged a warning and illusion circle around him, threw the sword mage into the cave of the tunnel, and stood outside the cave looking at his experience bar, preparing to increase his level.

"Improve the professional level of the War Mage!"

"It consumes 29,000 experience points."

"The battle mage profession has been upgraded to level 7."

"Contacting the fourth layer of the magic network, the fourth-ring spell was successfully activated."

"The second-level spell slot is 1, the third-level spell slot is 1, and the fourth-level spell slot is 2."

"The intelligence attribute has reached 20 points, and the additional fourth-level spell slot is 1."

"Acquire the class feature: Spell Expansion."

"Acquire the fourth-level spells of the War Mage: Phantom Killer, Ava Black Tentacle, and Fire Wall."

…

"Are these three spells the only ones?"

Seeing the new spells he obtained, Brian felt a little depressed.

As the level increases, for players who have the system, the battle mage's spells can be obtained by themselves, instead of having to learn them one by one like the wizard.

This also makes the spells of the battle mage appear to be very special compared to wizards, priests and warlocks, and there are very few spells that can be mastered.

Because the charm attribute of a war mage determines how many spells can be learned after leveling up, and the intelligence attribute determines the power of their spells.

Likewise, strength and agility also affect their fighting skills on the battlefield.

Judging from Brian's 15 points of charm attribute, after upgrading to level 7, he only obtained three fourth-level spells, which is expected.

Regarding this, he had nothing to complain about except being a little depressed.

After all, the arcane fire he owns stores all the spells he has learned in the game world, from level one to level nine, and even legendary spells, all complete.

As long as time permits, he doesn't have to spend any energy rebuilding the spell model, he can master it all just like downloading software on a computer.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to find a job as a combat mage, a profession with a pitiful spell list.

Of course, precisely because the spells of a battle mage are very rare, all the spells released by this profession have been significantly strengthened.

It was precisely because of the professional characteristics of the Battle Mage that he chose to take up this profession.

Moreover, the War Mage's lack of spells and shortcomings have been perfectly compensated by his Arcane Fire, and the rest are naturally all advantages.

Just like the spell sharpening, sharpening enhancement and spell range enhancement in the War Mage's professional characteristics, as well as the new characteristics of spell expansion he gained when he just upgraded his level.

The main function of "Spell Sharpening" is to add your own intelligence adjustment value to spell damage, thereby increasing the power of spells.

Based on his intelligence attribute of 20 points, he can at least add 5 points of additional spell damage.

What is the concept of 5 points of damage?

Judging by ordinary human standards, these 5 points of magic damage are enough to kill half of his life without hitting any vital points.

"Sharpening and Strengthening" is based on the "Spell Sharpening" ability, and the spell damage caused will receive an additional 20% bonus.

The first two professional features obviously increase spell damage.

As for "spell range enhancement" and "spell expansion".

The former can double the release range of the spell, and the latter can double the release range of the spell.

Among the professional characteristics of the War Mage, there are two damage characteristics, one to increase the spell distance and the other to increase the spell range.

It is precisely this specialization that is even more extreme than the wizards of the Evocation School that makes this profession called: Turret Mage.

The official explanation is:

Warmages are a group of master spellcasters who specialize in the arts and techniques of combat rather than academic study or the secrets of the universe.

Their power is primarily focused on controlling the battlefield and unleashing arcane wrath on as many enemies as possible.

In fact, it is understandable that in this precarious magical world, if you want to build a peaceful and prosperous age that is not tainted by evil forces, only ideals will definitely not work.

Therefore, the profession of War Mage, who studies how to maximize the use of evocation spells every day, and then repel the dark craze and win victory, came into being.

Therefore, their main focus is almost entirely on the research of a single attack spell, rather than specializing in one or more schools like orthodox wizards.

If Brian didn't have a system and couldn't acquire the characteristics of a battle mage as his career level increased, it would take at least five years for him to master these abilities through learning alone, and this was despite his outstanding talent.

Otherwise, the War Mage Legion of the Kingdom of Cormyr would not be famous in the world.

Then, Brian looked at his experience points again. After leveling up, he still had a little over 20,000 left.

He pondered for a moment and chose to upgrade the level of the psion.

"Improve the level of the Psionic profession!"

"Consumption of 19500 experience points."

"The Psion profession has been upgraded to level 6."

"Psionic points gained: 10 points, additional psionic points: 3 points."

…

Although he did not gain additional expertise or professional characteristics with this upgrade, Brian could still clearly feel the increase in strength.

After all, he only needs to upgrade his level to level 20 to reach the legendary realm.

With each level upgrade, in addition to increased life energy and mental strength.

His various hidden attributes such as toughness, reflexes and will have also been significantly strengthened, but they have not been translated in detail in the form of data.

After leveling up, he began to sort out the trophies he had collected after the battle.

Although the magic equipment of the drow priestesses cannot be used at all due to their beliefs and alignments.

However, the sophisticated weapons and equipment made by the drow are still quite popular underground or on the surface.

A high-quality drow scimitar is worth at least 500 gold coins, and a piece of drow chain mail mixed with a small amount of mithril can be purchased for more than 1,000 gold coins.

It won't take a while.

Brian sorted out gems worth nearly 5,000 gold coins and some valuables from this pile of loot, such as: moonstone, black jade, onyx, silver jewelry inlaid with black pearls, etc.

However, when all the coins turned out were added together, there were only more than 2,000 gold coins.

In fact, this is understandable.

Because the Underdark is hidden deep beneath the surface, the underground races have rich mineral resources.

Therefore, they never established mints, preferring to trade goods with cut and shaped gemstones.

As for gold coins, most of them come from surface merchants.

Although these things seemed to be a lot, when Brian thought about the territory and wizard tower he planned after returning to the surface, he suddenly felt that the things in front of him were simply a drop in the bucket.

What made him even more disappointed was that he did not find a single black opal among the pile of gems.

Black opal is a green opal with black flecks and gold particles.

Usually found in ancient hot springs or their dried-up remains.

Its main function is reflected in the increase and offset of damage with force field attributes. The price of one piece is about 1,000 gold coins.

This gem is the main material used by Brian to upgrade Arcane Fire to level 4 and activate the fourth-level spell.

Because after the Arcane Fire reaches level four, it will gain the "Arcane Barrier" feature. You must find a gem with force field properties to act as a medium in order to activate it.

Now, his battle mage has obtained the fourth-level spellcasting ability, which naturally meets the requirements for improving arcane fire.

"Forget it, let's wait until we get to the Lightless Woodland and see if we have a chance to find it." Brian waved his hand and put everything in front of him into the dimensional bag.

He stood up from the stone and looked in the direction of the sword mage's cave with an intriguing look.

After staying in the Kingdom of Cormyr for more than five years, he knew clearly that every mage in the Battle Mage Legion, whether missing or killed in battle, would be recorded in detail.

Brian also inadvertently looked through the information about the Chaos Messenger at the headquarters of the Battle Mage Legion.

Within a hundred years of the Kingdom of Cormyr, there were only three people who had successfully advanced from sword mage to messenger of chaos.

Of these three people, one is a half-elf and the other two are pure-blood elves.

After all, if you want to become a sword mage, you first need to be recognized by certain beings in the Fairy Wilderness.

This is much easier for half-elves and elves with elven blood than for humans.

This made Brian curious about the true origin of this human girl who looked to be only about twenty years old at most.

After all, every person who holds the Purple Dragon Seal Ring is a respected symbol of identity and status in the Kingdom of Cormyr, and is also one of the highest honorary rewards.
