The wizard starts with the get inspiration panel

Chapter 226 Innate Ability
Stephana can be said to be a typical example of someone who successfully achieved a breakthrough by artificially improving her spider-woman qualifications.

It stands to reason that this situation of relying on increasing blood concentration to successfully break through to a formal wizard should be one of the best breakthrough situations. Therefore, it is no wonder that Richard is interested in Stephana's natural witchcraft or spell-like ability. So looking forward to it.

"As you command, Master, then I will start to demonstrate." Stephana smiled slightly and immediately started to demonstrate.

She was overjoyed just now and came to Richard to report on her promotion. The key reason was that Stephana wanted to show off her newly acquired talents in front of Richard.

It's quite like a child who scored [-] points on a certain exam. He immediately waved the paper with [-] points and ran to his parents to show it excitedly.

Stephana may not be aware of it, but subconsciously, she really wants to gain the approval of her master Richard.

Stephana's body turned into a shadow under the eyes of Richard and Fana.

Richard and Fana could clearly see that Stephana, who was standing in front of them, had now turned into a blurry shadow.

But the strange thing is that at the level of mental perception of the two people, they are completely unaware that there is another person standing in front of them.

Richard and Fana looked at each other in surprise and said in unison: "Is this... shadow transformation?!"

"Hiss!" Richard couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

He expected that because of Stephana's top spider girl talent, there would be a high probability that she would get a very good talent, but he didn't expect that it would be such an extremely rare talent, witchcraft or a spell-like ability.

Richard thought for a moment and recalled the contents of shadow transformation in his mind.

Shadow transformation allows the caster's body form to leave the real world and enter the shadow world. In this state, he cannot attack enemies in the real world. Likewise, he will not be harmed by the real world.

If this witchcraft is learned by ordinary shadow wizards, the requirements for the caster are extremely high. It is rare to hear that a first-level high-level wizard can perform this witchcraft.

Seven or eight seconds later, the blurry shadow began to slowly become clear, and soon, Stephana appeared in front of Richard and Fana again with a smile.

At this time, the light and shadow captured by their sight corresponded to the perception. Obviously, Stephana would only be captured by perception after she escaped from the shadow state and returned to the real plane.

"Stephanna, I never thought that you could actually awaken this innate ability. It's really great!"

Richard admired sincerely.

"Master, it seems that my innate ability has other uses." Stephana glanced at Fana shyly, but took the initiative to step forward and stretched out her white and delicate hands to hold Richard.

Just when Richard was still wondering why Stephana was holding his hand, suddenly, he and Stephana turned into a special light and shadow and entered the shadow world.

This feeling is very strange, as if I am in a thin film. From inside the thin film, I can clearly see people and objects in the real world, but I know very well that it is the world outside the thin film.

However, this shadow world cannot stay for long, because Richard can feel that his body is constantly being eroded by shadow energy, as if he wants to assimilate himself into some kind of shadow creature.

Richard turned his head and looked to the side, only to see Stephana looking at him with a smile.

Fana in the garden stared at this scene dumbfounded. You must know that even if a first-level wizard casts the witchcraft of shadow transformation, it can only be released on himself.

Stephana's natural ability is a bit too foul, and she can actually bring one person with her!

A few seconds later, Stephana took Richard back to the real plane from the shadow state. However, the moment she came back, her steps staggered slightly and her complexion changed from rosy to a little pale.

"Stephanna, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Master." Stephana's slightly pale face was filled with a happy smile.

Although her mental energy was exhausted, the surprised expressions of her hosts Richard and Fana just now made Stephana cheer in her heart, and a sense of recognition and happiness filled her heart.

After thinking about it for a while, Richard basically understood Stephana's talent.

It seems that if this innate ability is brought to her, even if it only lasts for a few seconds, it seems to be a bit too strenuous for the current Stephana.

However, there was still unconcealable joy in Richard's eyes.

As for the duration of the shadow transformation, he believed that it would naturally increase as Stephana's own mental strength increased.

Mainly because this innate ability is so rare.

No matter from which angle you judge it, this ability is much better than the defense-oriented talent witchcraft of ordinary witchcraft.

General defensive innate witchcraft has an upper limit on defense power, but Stephana's shadow transformation does not have this problem.

In the future, if Stephanna encounters a more dangerous situation and encounters a witchcraft cast by an enemy that she cannot resist, Stephana can choose to hide directly in the shadow plane.

Wait until the danger or the opponent's trump card has passed before coming back.

Secondly, as her follower, if Stephanna fights with her, she will have an excellent defense against witchcraft.

Of course, this does not mean that the witchcraft of shadow transformation is completely without shortcomings.

Being in the shadow plane, one cannot lock onto the enemy in the real plane. Obviously, one cannot launch a counterattack.

In addition, if the enemy has specifically targeted witchcraft, it can be easily destroyed or attacked by Richard's master and servant in the shadow plane.

At this moment, Fana on the side was looking at the delighted Richard with envy.

She also has followers, but even the one with the best talent is only the limit of a third-level wizard apprentice, who is her current butler, but if she wants to be promoted to a formal wizard, she has to find some opportunities.

For most wizards, it is already pretty good that the followers of a first-level wizard can reach the limit of a third-level apprentice.

After all, no matter who you are, after successfully being promoted to an official wizard, it is very rare for you to choose to be someone else's follower.

Either the opponent is a level two great wizard.

Or there are some factors such as repaying gratitude mixed in it.

"Stepina, you gave me a big surprise today. However, you have just been promoted, so you should slowly adapt to the changes in your body first."

"After a while, if you use your innate witchcraft again, the situation should be much better than it is now."

Richard looked at Stephana with relief and encouraged.

However, when he saw Fana smiling from the corner of his eye and looking at him and Stepina, Richard suddenly remembered that Fana was looking for him.

"By the way, Fana, did you just come to me to make some potion?" "Yes, but it's not that I need it, but that you might need it."

Fana looked at Richard playfully and said.

Richard raised his eyebrows in interest, so he stretched out his hand to signal Fana to continue speaking.

"This morning, Tuge City officials, in conjunction with the major wizarding organizations, officially issued a wanted order for the Jade Fire cult members, deacons, priests, and bishops," Fana said slowly.

Richard nodded. He really didn't know this. He hadn't had time to go to the gray dwarf brotherhood headquarters today and had been staying in the alchemy room. However, he had already expected that the Jade Fire Cult would be severely encircled and suppressed.

Not to mention that the deaths of Dissol and Gorkan were directly caused by Nicole of the Jade Fire Cult, and the rupture of the seal in the Scorched Earth Secret Realm was also closely related to them.

I just don’t know if it’s the Jade Fire Cult’s family, or if other cults are involved!
"Then unexpectedly, just outside Tuge City this morning, there were many battles between the city guards and the Jade Fire Cult. The demand for some combat potions and alchemy bombs increased greatly. I saw that the conditions for a mission were , exchange one kilogram of mimic metal for ten bottles of fire potion."

"Fana, are you sure it's mimetic metal?"

Richard couldn't help being slightly startled. He couldn't believe that he could encounter such a good thing.

He was familiar with fire potions, and it was not difficult for him to make them.

In comparison, mimetic metal means a lot to me. My wristband is made of mimetic metal, but it only weighs more than 700 grams.

Moreover, after yesterday's battle, he lost the Ice Guardian and currently does not have any handy weapons. If there is enough mimic metal, the problem of melee weapons will naturally be solved.

Just when Richard was about to rush to the headquarters to pick up the mission, he saw Fana smiling beside him and suddenly realized something.

"Fana, does it mean that you have already accepted this task?"

"Smart, I did take the next step. Originally, I wanted to ask you if you can make fire potions, but judging from your expression, you must be able to do it, so I don't need to trouble others."

"Of course, Fana, thank you!"

Fana's words immediately reminded Richard that it seemed necessary for him to go to the mission hall, which might bring him some surprises.

Just as Richard was thanking Fana, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that Stephanna was always behind him and did not leave.

Moreover, looking at her expression, Stephana looked like she was hesitant to speak, so Richard couldn't help but asked in confusion:

"Stephanna, what's wrong with you?"

"Master, it seems that I still have an innate ability." Stephana looked at Richard with her big eyes.

"What?" Fana on the side couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although she had long heard that individuals with very pure blood from certain races would spontaneously awaken their innate witchcraft or spell-like abilities when they were promoted, but even the heirs of the gray dwarf royal family, according to her understanding, often An innate ability, it is still a relatively popular petrification witchcraft.

Not to mention that it is at least a whole level worse than Stephana's shadow transformation. The problem is that Stephana has actually awakened an innate ability.

A shadow change is already exaggerated!

No matter what Stephana's second talent is, it is still far ahead of the descendants of the gray dwarf royal family!

People are really more popular than people!
Richard stared at Stephana with bright eyes, held her arm tightly with both hands, and shook her hard: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Stephana looked at Richard with an innocent face, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be saying, "You and Fana are talking about something, and it's not appropriate for me to interrupt."

"What is your other innate ability? Demonstrate it quickly."

Richard urged without worrying about the details anymore.

"Master, I also have a talent for summoning shadow spiders."

Stephana waved her hand gently, a black light flashed, and dozens of fist-sized shadow spiders appeared on the soles of her feet.

Suddenly, Richard and Fana looked at these shadow spiders carefully and observed.

These little spiders were seen to be quite agile, running around under Stephana's feet. However, under Stephana's command, they quickly formed a large circular web and were evenly dispersed throughout Fana's villa.

Little spiders from the shadow world, Richard had only heard of before, were a kind of spider that lived on the edge of the shadow world and the real world. They had low combat effectiveness, but they had the talent of shadow escape and could avoid most harm to them.

but
"There is a maid on the left side of the corridor who is coming over soon."

"Fingart is resting in his room"

"Cold dishes have been placed in the dining hall."

"."

Stephana recited everything she knew about what the little spider in the shadow world had discovered.

"Stephanna, you gave me too many surprises!" Richard couldn't help but sigh.

Stephana's ability does not seem to be mainly used for fighting. Although these little spiders have acceptable fighting power, they are a waste of resources when used in fighting.

These little guys can be distributed in a relatively wide area according to Stephana's will, and within this area, the caster can better detect danger and provide early warning.

Stephana's innate ability is more for assisting than fighting, at least that's what Richard thinks.

At the beginning, Richard gave Stephana the Spider Woman's blood to use, in order to give Stephana a certain ability to protect herself, but now it seems that the result has been far beyond his expectation.
-
That afternoon, Richard got the mimic metal that Fana exchanged for ten bottles of fire potion.

Richard transformed it into a wrist guard on his right hand, which made up for the shortcomings of the weapon after the loss of the Ice Guardian.

In this way, Richard can change the pair of swords or sword and shield for free combination according to actual combat needs.

However, the acquisition of mimetic metal did not improve Richard's strength very much, it could only be regarded as a slight improvement.

Richard's thoughts once again returned to the messy black dragon origin blood. Regarding crystal stones, it was always an urgent problem to be solved.

Even including the trophies in the waist pouches obtained by the two men in gray robes, the number of flame crystals Richard currently possesses is (6/27) and flame essence (1/9), and the gap is still quite large.
