Fallen Mage

Li Yao and Chen Xi chatted while eating breakfast, and this long-lost and peaceful daily routine was just too wonderful.

Just then, a crisp yet incredibly annoying voice jumped in from outside the tavern. "Duang Duang! Sister Chen Xi, I'm here! Surprised? Unexpected, right? Sister Chen Xi, have you missed me?"

Lin Xiaoxi rushed in like a tornado and clung to Chen Xi.

Their frantic energy was like five hundred Little Yellow Duck suddenly being herded into a tavern, chattering and making a headache! Li Yao gasped, feeling his head throbbing! My beautiful morning is gone just like that!

But Lin Xiaoxi completely ignored Li Yao, as if he were invisible!

Chen Xi, being good-natured, let Lin Xiaoxi hug her neck from behind, and said without complaining about the heat, "Have you eaten yet? I put your breakfast in the kitchen for you."

Lin Xiaoxi exclaimed loudly, "Oh, I can still eat! (`)~"

Li Yao: "..."

Why don't you just eat yourself to death!

Li Yao was inwardly rolling his eyes when he noticed Lin Xiaoxi looking at him. "What are you standing there for? Go get me the food!"

Li Yao: "???"

He couldn't bear it anymore!

He stood up, grabbed Lin Xiaoxi's hair, and scolded her, "You little brat, you're something else! I'll rip all your hair out, you'll be bald by now!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "(д) Sister Chen Xi, please save me! This bastard Li Yao is bullying me!"

Chen Xi stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "Boss, be gentle! Xiaoxi is still a child!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "..."

Sister Chen Xi, you can't be so biased towards Li Da Yao!

"What's so great about this big pork hock!" Li Yao released his hand and scolded, "You sit still! Don't make a sound!"

As Xiaoxi ate her meal with her head down, Li Yao slumped in his chair and asked curiously, "How do you manage to sneak into Chen Xi's house every time she comes back? Do you have a built-in Chen Xi radar detector?"

Lin Xiaoxi said proudly, "Isn't this what true love is all about? This is the intuition of true love!"

Li Yao: "Aren't you going back to school?"

Lin Xiaoxi said confidently, "I can skip class! <(￣￣)>!"

Li Yao: "..."

Okay, you're awesome! Li Yao stood up, holding his thermos, and pointed at the table. "You do the dishes!"

Come on, it's good that you're here. Perfect timing for work.

Lin Xiaoxi rolled her eyes as she watched Li Yao's departing figure, but she had gradually gotten used to being exploited and ordered around by Li Yao. Besides, with Sister Chen Xi by her side, such small things were nothing!

Li Yao carried the thermos back to the fireplace.

He worked through the night extracting and refining alchemical elements, and then constructed a large number of spell models, which caused him to consume a lot of mental energy and his mind to be somewhat fatigued.

really,

Becoming stronger is not something that can be achieved overnight.

However, Li Yao felt that he had almost fully mastered his Second Specialization. He would probably be able to begin imprinting his third specialization in the next couple of days.

As for what the third specialization will leave behind...

Li Yao hasn't decided yet.

Thinking of this,

Li Yao suddenly cried out in his mind, "Sauron! Sauron, come out quickly!"

Sauron emerged from the shadows, yawned, and said, "Speak."

Wow!

That black cat is pretty arrogant!

Li Yao asked curiously, "Who gave you permission to be so arrogant?"

Sauron raised his eyelids arrogantly and said, "I have already recovered to the Fifth Circle of the environment."

Since his feast in Gangin Fruit, Sauron has rarely been out and about. It turns out he's been digesting the souls he devoured last time.

By the time it's fully digested, it will already be the Fifth Circle.

This is a good thing.

Sauron, a high-level monster, is comparable in strength to an elite mage. Intermediate Rank Mage at the Fifth Circle level is quite powerful! Not to mention that Sauron was originally a high-level monster.

Since it was a good thing, Li Yao didn't bother to criticize it. He smiled and said, "Congratulations! I've recently finished digesting my Second Specialization and am preparing to imprint my third specialization. Do you have any suggestions?"

Without hesitation, Sauron replied, "The Necromancy School's specialty."

Huh? Li Yao was taken aback. "Why?"

Sauron said proudly, "Haven't you noticed that your Evocation School's Specialized Magic Rune digests faster than your Transmutation Faction's Specialized Magic Rune?"

Actually, the time is about the same...

It will be less than a month in total.

Sauron continued, "Normally, digesting the Second Specialization takes longer than digesting the Second Specialization because it involves a process of harmonizing the rules and energy within the soul. But you digested it even faster than the first specialization. Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

Li Yao was puzzled. "Isn't it because I, Boss Li, am a genius?"

Sauron: "..."

Damn it, can you have some shame, monk?!

Sauron rolled his eyes in a very humane way. "It's because of me! Me! Because you formed Familiar Contract with me, your soul has a stronger control and affinity with the Evocation school! Got it?"

The monster was so angry that it started speaking Shanghainese!

Li Yao nodded. "Then having a familiar like you is also a testament to my Boss Li, isn't it?"

So, I Boss Li, am still the best! Sauron: "..."

Does that make you awesome?

"That guy from the Main World is clearly awesome! And you're just a little brother! A little brother!" Sauron felt resentful and wronged. Why did it have to be stuck with such a master? Life as a cat is tough! Sauron simply jumped onto the fireplace and lay down, sprawling out like liquid, its pure black tail dangling down and swaying casually—whatever, it's already bound, what else can it do? Blame it on why it was so careless to let that old bastard Kentji ambush it!

So it resignedly said, "The powers I wield are fire, shadow, and Negative Energy. Fire and shadow energy belong to the Emanation School, while Negative Energy belongs to the Necromancy School. So if you want to digest it faster, choose Necromancy; if you don't care, choose whichever you like."

As long as he doesn't kill himself, it's fine! Li Yao pondered for a while,

He has changed now, specializing in both schools of thought on shaping energy.

The remaining options are protection, enchanting, illusion, prophecy, sorcery, and necromancy.

Enchantment, illusion, protection, and prophecy can be ruled out first.

On the one hand, Li Yao himself had no talent in these schools of thought, and on the other hand, it was because the spells of these schools were so simple that one could learn them by studying them, without needing to specialize in any particular area.

The remaining Necromancer and Pyromancer skills can be placed in the remaining two specialization slots!

Let's start with the necromancy!

The Necromancy School has flourished in the Main World in recent years.

The necromancers of this school used to give people a sinister and evil feeling. Not only ordinary people, but also some necromancers had some misunderstandings about the Necromancy School. They even turned "necromancer" into a specific word with evil connotations.

As a result, for a period of time, the association imposed many restrictions on the Necromancy School's research.

What I fear is that some mages, in the process of researching Negative Energy, will be corrupted by Negative Energy, gradually lose their minds, and become Fallen Mage lean towards the evil camp.
