Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 33 The Weaknesses of Melee Wizards, Spellcasting Medium: Seven-Colored Dragon Scales

Leo turned the seven-colored dragon scale in his hand.

This seven-colored dragon scale was found on the first stonefish that Leo killed.

The second stonefish did not have similar scales.

The inferior quality refers to the quality listed in the encyclopedia, not the quality of this seven-colored dragon scale.

The quality of this seven-colored dragon scale should be roughly at the level of ordinary quality.

Leo covered himself with the seven-colored dragon scales and found a safe place to hide them.

Wizards need something tangible as a medium to create spells.

Although Leo can't use this seven-colored dragon scale now, it will definitely be a very valuable medium when he finds a suitable spell in the future.

【Stone Sea Dragon Scales】

Quality: Inferior

Effect: Dragon scales derived from the ancient creature, the Stone Sea Dragon, possessing formidable defensive capabilities.

Cost: 200 Refinement Points

The other four dragon scales are Stone Sea Dragon scales.

Of all the dragon scales on the two stone fish, only the five in Leo's hand are dragon scales; the others are just ordinary stone fish scales.

Leo had heard of the legend of the dragon when he was in the mortal kingdom.

Their reputation among mortals was in no way inferior to that of wizards.

However, dragons have become extinct on the Twin Continents.

These two stone fish, although they have dragon scales, are not comparable to real dragons.

It only possesses a very faint dragon-like characteristic.

After killing the stonefish, Leo's mission was complete.

Leo wanted to use the rest of his time to enhance his mental energy.

If all goes well, Leo believes he can raise his spiritual energy to level 10 before returning to the Tower of Dawn, and may even condense a spiritual seed before going back.

"The Danville Wizard".

Eiffel and Carrie found Leo.

Leo asked, "Captain Eiffel, what can I do for you?"

Eiffel looked at Carella and said, "Carella needs to see you."

Carella looked at Leo, bowed her head and said, "Wizard Danville, I apologize for my previous rudeness."

"It was my ignorance to look down on you before." Carrie handed Leo a bag and said, "This is a small apology from me."

Leo took the bag, which contained ten magic stones. He shrugged and said, "Alright, I forgive you, but you can't skimp on the magic stones as a reward for the mission."

"Of course, Wizard Danville."

Seeing that Leo didn't hold his previous attitude against her, Carrie breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on Leo's performance today, becoming a wizard in the future is inevitable.

Carrera was already respectful to wizards, and now, when facing Leo, he naturally lowered his head as well.

Eiffel took out a bag and said, "Wizard Danville, this is the reward for the mission: the remaining 40 magic stones. In addition, since you hunted two stonefish, there are an extra 50 magic stones, which I will also give you."

Leo was somewhat taken aback; it was a bit unexpected that Eiffel would offer a reward for hunting two stonefish.

After all, they originally agreed on a reward of only one stonefish, so it would be reasonable not to give a second stonefish as a reward.

However, when he thought about how the knights treated wizards as inferior, he felt he could understand it a little better.

Leo counted the magic stones in the bag; there were ninety in total. He said, "Alright, I'll accept the reward."

"Danville".

After Eiffel and Carrera left, Nova also came to Leo's side.

Leo bowed and said, "Greetings, Wizard Nova."

Nova said, "Your performance just now really impressed me. I didn't expect that in just over a month you would be able to master the spells Magic Hand and Basic Physical Enhancement."

Leo said, "Maybe I have a talent for this."

Nova's attitude also relieved Leo.

Nova saw through all of Leo's abilities the moment they met, which really startled Leo.

However, it seems that Nova can only determine what Leo has learned, but is not clear about the specific progress of his learning.

Nova smiled and said, "I have a question for you, Danville. Did you choose melee magic as your discipline?"

Leo said, "Wizard Nova, the subject I chose is Potions. As for melee wizardry, it's just that I was interested in it at the time, so I asked Wizard Sally, and she gave me an introductory book on melee wizardry to learn about it first."

"That's not bad either," Nova said. "To be honest, melee wizardry, as a school of wizardry, is not only not very popular, but also relatively weak, and not suitable as a subject that can be studied in depth."

"Relatively weak?" Leo adopted a listening posture and asked earnestly, "Wizard Nova, in what aspects do you think melee wizards are at a disadvantage?"

"The spells they possess are, in principle, far too simple."

"Strengthening one's own defense, strength, and speed... this logic is too simple and too pure. For a wizard, this kind of knowledge that can be seen through at a glance is itself a huge disadvantage in wizarding combat."

Nova paused for a moment, then continued, "Danville, I'm going to cast a spell at your level. Try to use a basic physical enhancement spell to get close to me."

The two stood up and separated by about ten meters.

Next, Leo began to cast a super physical enhancement spell.

After finishing the attack, Leo immediately rushed towards Nova.

Suddenly, a pair of bird wings sprouted from Leo's shoes.

Leo immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Although this did not cause any damage to Leo, once he sat up again, he knew that he had lost.

Leo said thoughtfully, "I can understand the weakness you mentioned, Wizard Nova."

He pondered what it would be like if his opponent were Nova.

Without Nova resorting to other means, could he cope with Nova's spell...? It turned out that unless Leo's physical body reached a new level of growth, it seemed impossible to break this simple spell that produced bird wings.

The brief exchange between Leo and Nova was also witnessed by the knights on the ship.

They immediately looked surprised.

They believed that Leo, who was like a god of war, was powerless against Nova.

Their reverence for the wizard deepened even further.

Nova said, "No matter how you strengthen your physical body, there are always fixed points of application and exertion. At that point, as long as you lose your balance, you can easily prevent a melee wizard from getting close."

"This is just one way to defeat a melee wizard. In other types of spells, I can find at least ten effective ways to deal with melee wizards in a fight of the same level."

"In my opinion, melee wizards might be somewhat effective against newly-minted wizards, but against experienced combat wizards, they easily become easy targets."

Nova then glanced at one of the knights beside him and said, "Moreover, the spells of melee wizards are, in the end, derived from knights."

"Originated from the Knights?" Leo asked疑惑地, "Is it related to the Knight's Breathing Technique?"

"It's related. Melee wizards' spells are all improved versions of knight's breathing techniques."

Nova said, "While the improved melee wizards are actually superior to knights in overall ability, they have lost the diversity of being a wizard."

"Overall, it was a failed research direction in terms of combat."

At this point, Nova reached out and smoothed a strand of hair from his forehead, saying, "But it's not your fault for not knowing this. Unless you're an experienced mentor, it's difficult to know the hidden weaknesses of melee wizards."

"In fact, among our mentors, the main focus of the discipline of melee wizarding is not 'combat,' but rather the health benefits it brings to wizards."
