Chapter 353 - Encounter With a Compatrio (1/2)

Roland had thought that elven spells were merely encrypted spells, and all he needed to do was to remove those layers of mystery. But he didn’t know that the greatest difference between natural spells and elemental spells lay in the nature of mental power.

Roland remembered the frequency of natural magic power. He could even simulate it now. But the problem remained that the efficiency of transformation was too low.

It was like forcing a carnivore to be a herbivore.

After understanding what natural magic power was, Roland understood the spell models he had.

Those circles were actually deformed nodes. Different from the elemental spells of human beings, the spells of elves were not based on transmission between nodes, but on the expansion and intersection of nodes that triggered magic effects.

When magic nodes were expanded, they were highly unsteady and likely to cause vaporization. It was exactly the image that Roland had seen earlier.

It was difficult for human beings to harness such natural power with their souls, but the elves could do it easily.

They had the greatest control over magic power apart from the G.o.ds.

Besides, the natural magic power was based on the World Tree, and as the children of the World Tree, they would reign over magic power easily.

In fact, elves could use elemental spells easily too, but they weren’t interested in them.

Why would they adopt the barbarians’ approach if they could achieve their purpose with natural spells?

In the meadow, Roland found a simple elven spell model and tried to use it.

He established the layout with his mental power first, then he flooded magic power into the designated nodes.

His first attempt failed. The magic model was broken halfway through.

The second attempt failed too because Roland had charged some of the nodes too fast.

The third… The fourth… All his attempts failed.

Then, looking at his empty mana bar, Roland had no choice but to sit down and rest.

Because of Roland’s Zeal and the set of mana regeneration equipment, he replenished his mana quickly.

The magic apprentices began to clear the meadow and drive the mosquitoes away. They had figured out that their chairman was too devoted to his studies to move on.

So, they might as well take a rest here.

Then, the magic apprentices began to build a camp and waterproof tents together.

When his mana bar was full again, Roland resumed his experiments.

It was indeed very difficult for a human being to use the spells of elves. After another three failures, Roland finally cast out the simple elven spell, Tree Enlivening.

As nature’s favorites, elves had certain weird spells.

For example, they could turn trees into their companions and give them the ability to think and move.

If the trees could live long enough, their capabilities could even significantly increase.

Roland cast the green ball of light in his hand at a tree on his right.

The light disappeared into the trunk of the tree. Soon enough, the tree cramped weirdly and turned into a skinny treant that walked toward Roland, to everybody’s surprise.

There was even a pair of black eyes at the top of the trunk.

The treant looked at Roland, and Roland looked back at him.

Very soon, the skinny treant raised his left hand, launching an attack at Roland.

But before the treant’s left hand hit him, it had been blown back and cut into three parts, spraying white sap, before it rolled on the road.

Andonara put her longsword back in its sheath.
