Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 716: 228. Explore Caves at Sea_2

The magic-powered ship can now move forward with the help of the water jet’s reaction force.

The deep rumbling sound from earlier was the magic stones in the magical engine beginning to release mana.

These magic stones have extremely high energy density, designed specifically for heavy-duty magical facilities, filled by high-level wizards.

The mana they possess is water magic power, which is the second most common type of magic power in the Suman Archipelago.

The most common type of magic power in the Suman Archipelago is deep sea magic power.

Why not use deep sea magic power to release water streams, then?

Water magic power creates pure water.

Water magic spells cast with water magic power do not have corrosive properties.

Water magic power itself also doesn’t negatively affect the magical runes and metal pipelines.

Deep sea magic power generally creates deep sea water, and the deep sea spells it casts have inherent corrosive properties.

During the transmission of deep sea magic power, the magic circle and metal pipelines will corrode.

Usually, deep sea magic power is only used as a power source for ships in emergency situations.

More often, water magic power is the best choice for driving ships.

The higher the level of the deep sea wizards from the Deep Sea Branch, the stronger their ability to convert deep sea water into freshwater.

At the level of Selena, the Nine-Circle Deep Sea Witch, the deep sea water she summons no longer has corrosive properties; it is only slightly saltier than freshwater.

Hadley is a Five-Ring Deep Sea Wizard, a non-combat wizard.

His ability to convert deep sea water into fresh water is limited.

There are two power systems in the power room.

One is supplied by the magical engine with water magic power, and the other will be provided by Hadley with deep sea magic power in emergencies.

The external differences of these two power systems can be seen in the varying thicknesses of the metal pipelines.

The metal pipelines transporting deep sea magic power are thicker, sturdier, and have an item level of 50, far higher than the metal pipelines transporting water magic power.

From this, you can see how corrosive deep sea magic power is.

Will the wizards themselves, who harbor deep sea magic power, be affected by its corrosive properties?

They may be affected to some extent, but overall it’s controllable and relatively safe.

Hadley graduated from the Deep Sea Branch, having learned the Tidal Surge Meditation Technique, the same one mastered by Selena.

This meditation technique enhances a wizard’s ability to purify deep sea water and greatly reduces the negative impact of deep sea magic power on their spirit.

With it, a wizard can consume deep sea magic power and extract fresh water from deep sea water.

If the Tidal Surge Meditation Technique advocates the removal of corrosive properties from deep sea water, then the Deep Sea Scales Meditation, used by the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, involves actively bearing the corrosive effects.

After activating the Deep Sea Scales Meditation, one’s body will grow scales, enhancing resistance to corrosion and increasing agility in water.

When practicing this meditation technique, the more sea water corrosion one absorbs, the higher the increase in physical abilities, and the harder the scales on their body become.

If injured, they can also heal fast by absorbing deep sea water.

Because of this feature, the deep sea has become a sanctuary for the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. As long as they immerse themselves in the deep sea water, the pirates can continuously heal their wounds with the water.

Noland possesses the Deep Sea Scales Meditation, which covers the content of the first to fourth circles of practice.

He obtained this meditation technique after killing the wanted criminals.

At the same time as obtaining the Deep Sea Scales, he also got the magic book “Deep Sea Secret Code – Volume One.”

From this book, Noland deconstructed three incomplete spell blueprints:

“Deep Sea Detection,” 10% completeness, high-level spell, able to detect the surrounding terrain in deep sea water. This spell is very effective in areas with weak or no light. Its spell flaw is increased casting consumption – 10 times the regular amount, consuming 1 point of soul strength and 10 points of energy per minute. The upgrade effect increases the detection range.

The second spell is “Deep Sea Swimming,” with 20% completeness, a conventional spell that can’t be upgraded.

It can counteract some of the resistance from sea water and enhance short-distance swimming burst capacity.

Its spell flaw is that casting consumption is increased to five times the normal amount.

“Deep Sea Gills,” 20% completeness, a conventional spell that can’t be upgraded. This spell is specifically designed to allow breathing in deep sea water.

The spell flaw is the same as “Deep Sea Swimming.”

Deep sea spells can also be cast using deep sea magic power to replace soul strength.

As long as Noland raises the Deep Sea Scales Meditation to level 90, he can draw deep sea magic power from the deep sea.

The bad news is that since the completeness of the Deep Sea Scales Meditation is only 20%, his efficiency in extracting deep sea magic power is relatively low, at only one-fifth of the normal rate.

The relatively good news is that the Deep Sea Scales Meditation does not increase “Spirit.”

Its main attribute is the same as “Strong Metal Fusion,” which is “Willpower,” while the secondary attributes are “Tenacity” and “Agility.”

If it weren’t for the fact that practicing the Deep Sea Scales Meditation requires Noland to soak in sea water, he would have started practicing it long ago.

Oh, right, the breathing technique given by the Calm Knight Kaiden can also absorb deep sea magic power, but its efficiency is far lower than a wizard’s meditation technique.

“Clang.” Hadley flips the energy output sluice gate of the magical engine.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The magical engine has completed its preheating work, surging water magic power has flooded the metal pipelines, and lit up magical runes in the power room.

For a moment, the water-blue energy light filled the power room, and the deep rumbling sound became restrained and stable.

“Finished!” Hadley clapped his hands and called out to Noland:
