<h4>Chapter 298: Prolonging Influence and Making Curse Vessels</h4>


    Longjing Tea didn’t expect rence to give so much information about another school and spells that he had not learned before.


    Could he be that legendary type who enjoys going through strategies… No, going through dissertations?


    Or are there some sort of paper journals or newspapers within the wizard circle?


    After thinking for a while, rence answered, “Since you have a few friends, I would rmend the spell [Truce].”


    “No, no, no. There aren’t actually as many as ‘a few’…” Longjing Teained.


    Among this batch of yers, only two were good old friends of his — Delicious Wind Goose and Wandering Child.


    In a strict sense, the others would probably be regarded as his subordinate employees.


    Hearing this, rence couldn’t helpughing.


    He obviously realized that his sense of humor was not quite suitable to be shown in front of students. rence then coughed a little to suppress hisughter and continued to exin solemnly.


    “About this spell… It could forcefully separate the fight into two ends ording to their factions. Your teammates would be pulled to your side, and your enemies would be pushed towards the direction away from you.


    “After the separation, an air wall that can block attacks will form between the two groups. The strength and speed of the force and the flow and thickness of the air wall would differ depending on each person’s strength.


    “But this spell wouldn’t change the arena, nor would it prevent the generation of another arena. So, you could first let your friends set up traps outside the battlefield. Then, you could use this Edict spell as you position yourself at the casting point in the trap or battlefield. That way, you could send all your enemies into the trap. This is quite a goodbination, except that it is a little difficult to be used alone.”


    rence chuckled and said, “Although I don’t know much about Edict spells, I do know about the current mainstream system. For example, edict wizards produced by the Storm Tower in Austere-Winter Dukedom are particrly good at this kind of strategic warfare.


    “The ability to manipte space like this is the characteristic and advantage of the Edict School. This is because you guys can often master different degrees of space maniption ability from the Bronze Rank to the Silver Rank. That is one or two levels earlier than other schools with space maniption abilities such as Falteration, Idol, Shaping schools.


    “If you’re concerned about the fungibility of this school of magic, you can work in this area.” The elegant and easygoing wizard, who was wearing round-rimmed sses, made serious suggestions for improvement.


    “Thank you so much, teacher!” Longjing Tea responded quickly and respectfully.


    He didn’t even think that he would actually get some helpful advice.


    It wasn’t that he doubted rence’s professionalism.


    It was mainly that rence’s temperament had always made Longjing Tea a little uneasy.


    rence’s temperament was the type who would immediately be invincible just by a quick reach to stroke his hair, throw his sses, and change his hairstyle without any sense of disharmony.


    Plus, rence’s voice was vaguely simr to that of the hot blue man [1]…


    Longjing Tea put aside these disturbing thoughts for now.


    He changed the subject, “But, Teacher rence… Haven’t you already finished your sses for this month?”


    “Yep, but I still have something to do here hence tentatively moving next month’s sses over to this month.”


    rence nodded with a warm smile, “I have a curse vessel to make, but Ick some materials and influences. I’ve sent out amission to look for them in various influence pools. I’ll only be leaving after they have returned and I’m done making the curse vessel.


    “Until their return, I’lle over to the library every day after ss. If there’s anything you would like to ask me, you can wait here until around this time… I’ll pass by this ce on my way to the eighth floor.”


    “Thank you so much, Teacher rence.” Longjing Tea thanked him respectfully again, saluted, and left, “I shall be on my way with this book then.”


    “Okay, remember not to go to bed toote.” rence nodded with a smile, his voice gentle and dignified.


    After Longjing Tea left, he looked at Longjing Tea’s back with interest.


    …It’s not like you have any ill will towards ck Tower. So what are you nervous about?


    “But, about Elven Ruins…” rence smacked his lips.


    I hope your friends are alright.


    After all, the people who had gone to collect influences at the ruins this time are some unsophisticated blockheads.


    Longjing Tea, who waspletely unaware of rence’s mind-reading, only felt the cold sweat dripping on his back after he had left the library.


    He didn’t dare to make any movements, show any expressions, nor dared to ask for details.


    He was afraid that rence would detect something wrong and reveal the yers’ whereabouts at Elven Ruins.


    He had just teased those fellows watching the stream being a hindrance. It would be funny if he himself caused unnecessary problems.


    Longjing Tea was the type who didn’t like being held back by others and hated even more to be one who held others back. So even if it were a team online battle game where everyone was defeated, he would be the only one from the crowd getting through each level seriously.


    At the same time, he was always strict with himself, and he was also bluntly strict with others.


    It was just that Longjing Tea had not met Soul Snatch wizard, hence still not having enough vignce and attention in the face of rence.


    In the face of ordinary people who had notpleted Transcended advancements, the Silver Rank Great Wizards could read their thoughts without even having to cast any spell.


    He had been walking all the way calmly towards his dormitory. After shutting the door, he finally opened up the forum and posted an update with great anxiety.


    “—Urgent, urgent, urgent! It seems the team from ck Tower has already set off to the ruins! @Wandering Child @Wandering Child @Wandering Child.”


    Quickly, Wandering Child replied, “Is the news confirmed?”


    Longjing Tea: “I didn’t dare to ask in detail as he was the big boss of Soul Snatch school. But he had sent more than one team to collect the [Influences]. So there is a high probability that some of them will head over there!”


    Wandering Child: “I see then, take care of yourself. Watch out for Soul Snatch wizards!”


    Longjing Tea: “Understood. I will not be turning off the live streams starting tomorrow, nor will I ask anything deliberately. After I’m done learning the skills, I will read some general geography and history books. Then, I will title the live streams ording to the book titles and upload them directly to my personal space. If you have any information to inquire on, you cane to my space to check.”


    Yiyi: “Okay.”


    Jiu Er: “If possible, remember to help check information about demons… It’s a little urgent.”


    Longjing Tea: “No problem, I will try my best.”


    After agreeing to the mission of collecting information, Longjing Tea let out a deep sigh. Only then did he gradually calm down.


    His palms had been unknowingly soaked with sweat.


    On the other hand, Annan had visited Old Vasily.


    “…Your Highness, you want to make a curse vessel?”


    Vasily frowned slightly, “It can be done, yes. But do you have any influence on you?”


    “I still have two influences on me.”


    Annan nced at it and replied, “They are both low-levels. One is the ‘Infinitely Ovepping Echoes’ of the Mirror Realm, and the other is the ‘One Step Ahead’ of the de Realm. The one from the Mirror Realm is about to produce an echo… I don’t know what these can do, so I came to you to ask for your opinion. I’m collecting materials and preparing to advance, so I’ve to suppress my nightmares’ entries recently.”


    “Infinitely Ovepping Echoes… Is it the influence of a new deity? I’ve never heard of this, and I’m not sure what it can do. But if it’s just to prolong the influence…”


    Vasily pondered for a while and quickly replied to Annan, “Let me then tell you about the capabilities of a basic ritualist first. If an influence is about to expire, you can add it to any ritual of deities from the same realm. At the end of the ritual, the influence’s time limit is reset… In other words, the influence would have been depleted, and you will get a brand new influence. That way, you won’t be pulled into a nightmare by the echo.


    “This is how we stack and store influences on the body. Of course, the form on how to use two or more influences to synthesize influences of other realms would be much moreplicated…


    “But ‘One Step Faster’ is a useful neutral influence. The de Realm is a neutral realm that is not controlled by any deity, so deities in realms such as ‘murder’, ‘forge’, and ‘sword’ can also generate ‘One Step Faster’.


    “‘One Step Faster’ can be used to make a handy one-off curse vessel — the de of Retaliation.”


    Old Vasilyughed, “I already have the materials here, and I can make it now.


    “Or… Do you want to try it yourself?”
