Chapter 254

"So this is also a Mana Web terminal."

After exploring the identity token that had already been activated, Dorothy was suddenly enlightened.

The function of this identity token is about the same as a spell book, meaning it lacks the function of storing spells in the spell book, but the Mana Web capabilities are all there. Through the identity token, one can connect to the private network of the Tribunal, having a series of convenient functions such as logging into the intranet, viewing intelligence, contacting teammates, etc.

Also, with the Tribunal's style of keeping identities secret, it really needs a set of more private means of contact. One can't take out one's spell book to contact when executing missions.

Hmm, killers in movies don't use mobile phones to contact, but use professional intercom equipment.

"This has a bit of the feeling of a secret organization operative. It's quite cool."

Dorothy input a bit of Mana into the token, and then a virtual screen that only she could see popped up.

First was Dorothy's photo wearing a clown mask, and to the left of the photo were some text materials.

【Code Name: Clown】

【Job Age: 16 years】

【Position: Grand Judge】

【Jurisdiction: Witch Academy】

【Spell Slot: Blank】

【Equipment Slot: Blank】

【Familiar Slot: Blank】

【Current Mission: Holy Son Operation (Difficulty A)】

【Mission Points: 0】

"Miss Ghost Face, what are these spell slots, equipment slots, and familiar slots?"

After checking her information, Dorothy asked the secretary miss beside her curiously.

"Lord Clown, these are exclusive benefits for Tribunal members. After all, we are engaged in covert operations and need to hide our identities, so in order not to let others spy on our intelligence from our fighting style, a certain amount of disguise is necessary."

"Spell slots, equipment slots, and familiar slots—these three are benefits issued by the Tribunal. We can choose a brand-new combat system from the Tribunal's treasury as our disguise."

"Among them, equipment slots and familiar slots mean exactly what they say. We can choose a brand-new set of equipment and familiars as armament."

"And spell slots are slightly more peculiar. This is a unique technology of the Tribunal. It can solidify spells. Once you load a spell into a spell slot, you don't need to learn it; you will immediately master this spell, directly obtaining the proficiency level of Great Success. And if you cast spells through spell slots, you don't need to consume your own Mana, just consume a small amount of spiritual power to guide it."

The secretary miss explained in great detail.

When talking about this, she, who had a cold temperament, unconsciously brought a trace of pride in her tone. Obviously, she was very satisfied with the Tribunal's benefits.

Dorothy: "....."

Ah, this, can it be played like this? This is directly changing from a blue-bar mage to a spell-slot mage.

Seeing Zhai Wu Hun finally understood what Senior Fan Ni was selling earlier. No wonder she told her not to worry about the problem of insufficient strength. Is that so-called power of the establishment this?

However, this is indeed powerful. After all, those are spells with Great Success proficiency that consume nothing.

The proficiency of spells is generally divided into five tiers, which are the five stages of Beginner, Entry, Proficient, Great Success, and Saint.

And a witch's energy is always limited. She might be able to learn many, many spells, but she might not necessarily have the time and energy to max out the proficiency of every spell.

Generally speaking, the proficiency of the vast majority of spells for witches will only stay at the Beginner stage; as long as they can use them, that's fine.

And only a small portion of spells used for eating and working will be practiced exclusively. But even so, the proficiency limit that the vast majority of ordinary witches can reach in their lifetime is just Great Success.

But now, the Tribunal directly gives away spells with Great Success proficiency at the start. This starting line is the finish line for others. It's directly winning.

As for the Saint stage of full-level proficiency, that is a realm that only a small portion of genius witches can reach. This represents that you have your own unique understanding of this spell. At this stage, you can even start to adjust and modify the spell to make it more suitable for you.

And spells adjusted in this way are actually so-called secret arts.

In the Witch Library, one can often see some spells with people's names as prefixes. Those are secret arts.

Just like Dorothy's Fireball Technique, this represents that this spell is a version self-improved by the witch named Dorothy after maxing out the proficiency of the ordinary Fireball Technique.

Such secret arts have both pros and cons. Generally, improved spells definitely have many more advantages than the original spells, either greater power or more energy-saving, etc. It's just that the learning difficulty will also be greater, far from being as easy to popularize as the original general spells.

And speaking of which, among Dorothy's Witch series spells, except for a few purely original ones, the vast majority actually belong to the category of secret arts.

Well, her biggest advantage is that she learns things fast. She can max out spell proficiency with a few inspirations and epiphanies, and then start to modify them.

Actually, her demand for this so-called spell slot isn't very high. After all, do you understand the gold content of full-system proficiency in the Nine Major Sects?

As a big shot with full-system proficiency, identity disguise is just too simple. She can casually pull out a hundred or eighty completely different combat methods.

It's just that...

Knowing too many spells is useless. Her Mana reserve can't afford to burn. In Seeing Zhai Wu Hun's view, the most precious part of this spell slot isn't the Great Success proficiency, but the zero consumption of casting.

"Yay, screw the Mana limit. Can I finally stop calculating Mana reserves cautiously and realize casting freedom boldly? I want to change jobs to be a bombardment witch. Infinite Mana Cannons are the romance of witches."

Seeing Zhai Wu Hun cheered in her heart like this.

Tsk, her fighting style before was mainly based on the combat method system. This wasn't because she liked close-quarters combat with others; it was simply because the combat method system saved the most Mana.

Sigh, if it weren't for being trapped by Mana, who wouldn't want to be a human-shaped turret, directly pulling out the Italian cannon and bombing them?

Being a bombardment witch and a big bomber—isn't this ten thousand times cooler than a bitter combat assault witch?

As mentioned before, in the circle of armed witches, melee assault is at the bottom of the contempt chain.

In short, more is good, big is wonderful. Long live the Tower Cannon God Sect.

"Then how can these things be obtained?"

Thinking that she, who had been poor for so long, could finally fight a rich battle, Dorothy hurriedly asked.

"Lord Clown, please follow me. Spell slots need to be obtained in the library, equipment needs to be collected in the armory, and as for familiars, you need to go to the beast garden. I will take you to visit them one by one later."

"And the Tribunal has a welfare policy for newly joined members. Everyone has the permission to obtain ten free spell slots for each rank, a full set of standard equipment, and a familiar. And if you want more later, you will need to use mission points to redeem them."

"And mission points need to be obtained by completing missions. Every time judges complete certain missions, besides the rewards of the missions themselves, they can also obtain a certain amount of points according to the difficulty of the missions."

"Of course, when executing some specific missions, you will also obtain a certain amount of spell slots, equipment, or familiars according to the targeting of the missions. It's just that these temporary subsidies will be taken back after the missions end."

... Miss Ghost Face leading the way while explaining...
