Chapter 684 You Probably Don’t Understand
Kujira’s admiration was genuine and not in any way fake.
Just half a day ago, the Goddess of Magic informed all her churches that those who believed in her would be more likely to learn the Sword of Mystra, and this impacted the magic community to a certain degree.
But what truly set the entire magic community abuzz was Roland’s Simple Sugar Creation that came along with the goddess’s message.
All the magic organizations were concerned about the news of the Church of Magic, not to mention that this time, the Goddess of Magic Mystra had sent a divine message.
As the “idlest” lawful goddess, the Goddess of Magic had issued even fewer divine messages than the Water Goddess.
So when a divine message appeared, it had to be something big This made all the magic organizations around the world pay considerable attention.
Then they discovered that there was a reason for the divine message.
The Sword of Mystra was indirectly gathering faith for the goddess, and this was something that they could see and had to admit was a good move, and an obvious one.
The Mages in the world were somewhat unconvinced by Mystra, and so were less inclined to believe in her.
But with this treatment, there were probably a few powerful Mages that would like to rely on Mystra.
After all, the previous Church of Magic didn’t store spell models as comprehensive as those in the Association of Mages in various countries, and there was little to gain from the church internally-it was quite austere.
But now, even if it was just for the success rate of Sword of Mystra, it was worth giving her their faith.
After all… who didn’t want to have power?
Besides, Mystra was also a beauty, and for the sake of power, believing in a beautiful woman wasn’t shameful.
Then what truly surprised them was Roland’s Simple Sugar Creation that came with the divine message. Although sugar wasn’t a staple food, it could provide energy, and eating more of it could keep one from starving.
This was quite significant as it made Mages a special life form that would never starve in the suburbs and would remain self-sufficient as long as they had magic power. If the oil-making and water-making spells were both just for the magic community to admire Roland, then the appearance of the sugar-making spell made the entire magic community brighten up and feel extremely amazed.
For both the water-making and oil-making spells were essentially just a cheap trick of “carrying” matter from another place by magical means. These techniques could actually be done and created by Mages of Elite level and above, but they just didn’t think of it.
I could do it too, but he just got ahead of mesuch thoughts had always persisted in the minds of the vast majority of Mages. This was why their evaluation of these two spells was not too high. Along with that, the evaluation of Roland was only on the level of “a very thoughtful young man.”
But Roland’s Simple Sugar Creation was completely different from the two aforementioned trick spells.
This was a new spell in the truest sense.
It involved new ideas.
In the Goddess of Magic’s message, the spell model of the sugar-making spell was annotated like this.
Roland’s Simple Sugar Creation (Level-One Spell)
Effect: After use, depending on the amount of magic power and the strength of the spirit, you will receive one or more portions of glucose. It can be eaten, has better flavor when mixed with water, and has the effect of allaying hunger. Please note that in desert or arid areas, the amount of glucose received will be reduced.
Requirement: Normal air. The material was air.
This alone was a shock to people. Could air be considered a magic material? Wasn’t it available everywhere? And to make sugar from the air, what kind of operation was this?
Substance transformation was only capable of transforming metal ores.
This changed the views of all Mages.
They couldn’t wait to transcribe the spell model and use it.
After all, it was a level-one spell, and as long as they were official Mages, there was no hindrance to using it.
as no
It was an immediate success.
Then it generated a lot of sweet powdered sugar. After mixing it with water, it tasted all right.
Then they began to study this spell model.
At first, they also thought that Roland had used cheap tricks similar to the oil-making and water-making spell, but all of them were baffled when the nodes of the spell model were taken apart.
Completely baffled!
Couldn’t understand. All of them were energy input nodes, with no output nodes in sight at all.
Only a few Legendary Mages had identified the small divination magic array hidden in the nodes, but the problem was that they had never seen this divination magic array.
It seemed to be new. It was all but impossible to see which nodes were extracting air, which were responsible for converting matter, and which were responsible for stabilizing the magic input channels.
What was even more outrageous was that this spell only had twenty-six nodes. Damn it… even the nodes of level-one spell Hypnosis are more plentiful than that.
The sugar-making spell involved the transformation of matter, how could there be so few nodes?
When you looked at the real matter transformation spell, it was concise, but the number of nodes was still mind-numbingly high.
What the hell is with this sugar-making spell?
Any Mage with a bit of strength couldn’t help but doubt their eyes when they saw the pitifully small number of nodes in that spell model.
Am I mistaken in my delusion of trying to find more nodes in a level-one spell?
They couldn’t parse it or understand it, and finally, they could only admire and worship Roland.
Such regard soon spread, even affecting most of the magic apprentices.
This spell could also be learned by magic apprentices who knew how to operate magic power a little.
For many magic apprentices, even if they didn’t become official Mages, as long as they learned Roland’s oil-making and sugar-making spells, they wouldn’t starve to death.
In the future, if they sold oil and sugar, they might not be able to become rich, but they would be able to live at a modest level.
Kujira was one of the people who tried to analyze the sugar-making spell and couldn’t understand it.
