Chapter 148
Adam and Victor The Mage's conversation was brief, but Victor The Mage was not optimistic about Adam's choice.
"It's easier for exploration mages to obtain resources than other war mages, but correspondingly, their mortality rate is also the highest. Don't think that you can have a second life just because you have the Weave. Souls that are destroyed by the origin of another plane cannot be resurrected."
Adam did not say anything. Any reward was accompanied by risk, and the greater the reward, the greater the risk. This was a very normal thing, but since Victor The Mage mentioned this, he did have a question to ask, "What is that special spell?"
He had asked this question to Priscilla before, but the Hyperdimensional Mage's reaction was very strange. It seemed to be admiration mixed with disgust. Adam could not understand this feeling.
Victor The Mage was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He did not answer directly, but said, "Mages have never been righteous. You should know this very well."
Adam nodded.
"Let's not talk about the apprentice stage. After reaching the official level, many of the research needs to destroy the entire ecosystem to be completed. Let's not talk about elemental magic. Potions, alchemy, and most of the advanced knowledge in biology are bloody."
Adam was puzzled. "Is this related to special spells?"
"Not at all. But even among such mages, there are still some who flaunt justice. A butcher covered in blood thinks that another butcher's method of killing is too cruel. Don't you think it's funny?"
Adam was completely confused. Victor The Mage seemed to be complaining to him.
After Victor The Mage finished speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. He coughed twice and said, "The special spell comes from the Third Holy Tower, Grand Necromancer Laura. She is the only one who changed from ancient magic to modern magic and became a Necromancer …" Dean Victor paused, not saying those three words. "The special spell is completely inherited from ancient magic. It's called Reincarnation."
Adam quickly thought of a few reasons. It was nothing more than a historical problem that caused the knowledge of the Third Holy Tower to be unpopular. However, this had nothing to do with him, and he could not understand why Victor The Mage was complaining.
"Reincarnation is a spell that allows you to become an embryo and live as a parasite in a foreign plane's Primordial Mother, thus avoiding the pursuit of the plane's origin. Apart from the mages of the Third Holy Tower, no one knows how it works. Even if you learn it, you can only use it. "
Adam blinked. This kind of magic was very common. How could it be cruel?
Victor The Mage saw through his problem. "The success rate is very low. You'll be fine as the caster, but the parasite will definitely die. Usually, it takes tens of thousands of parasites to find a matching parasite."

After meeting with Victor The Mage, Adam returned to his own room in The Fifth Element Holy Tower.
At this time, he had already sorted out the reason for the conflict. It had nothing to do with the cruelty of the magic. It was all because of his identity as the Anti-Mage of the Third Holy Tower. It seemed that although mages flaunted intelligence, they could not be completely rational. This kind of meaningless battle still existed.
The way the magic network transmitted information was very similar to the communication software on Earth. Exchanging soul waves was equivalent to adding a friend. After that, the communication could be either text or video. It was very magical.
And now, there was a video call request.
After Adam accepted the call, an unfamiliar mage with an ominous and gloomy aura was projected in his mind. Without any nonsense, the mage said to Adam directly, "One hour later, on the first floor of The Fifth Element Holy Tower. I'll teach you the reincarnation spell." After that, the mage hung up.
Adam arrived at the meeting place just before the appointed time. None of the rooms in the Holy Tower had a fixed shape. With some Ether crystals, the alchemy puppets on standby could transform the room into any shape they wanted. Now, in front of Adam was a room with a hundred neatly arranged beds. On each bed lay a female creature.
The unfamiliar mage threw an information box to Adam and said, "The method to use the reincarnation spell is in here. After reading it, it will automatically destroy itself. These hundred slaves from another plane will be your test subjects."
After the mage finished speaking, he walked to one side and sat cross-legged in the air alone. He had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Adam did not mind. He wrapped the information box with his mental power and read the information. The method to use the reincarnation spell was directly engraved in his mind.
"This spell …"
Adam's expression was a little strange. This was a spell that was activated by chanting. The thirty-three syllables were very obscure. Each syllable required the soul and mental power to vibrate together to achieve the effect.
Adam did not think that anyone could harm him in the Holy Tower, so he simply experimented.
Compared to the runic magic system, ancient magic was more obscure and less efficient. However, Adam was Adam after all. He directly divided the thirty-three threads to learn at the same time. After a few experiments, he mastered this special pronunciation method.
"Om, om …"
As the incantation was recited, Adam felt his soul and body being enveloped by a mysterious power of unknown origin. He began to transform into an unknown state. However, due to a mistake in the pronunciation of a syllable, the transformation was forcefully stopped. What was more miraculous was that Adam didn't feel any discomfort at all.
The unfamiliar mage suddenly said, "You are very suitable for the magic of the Third Holy Tower. Why don't you leave and join us?"
"Sorry, I refuse."
The unfamiliar mage was not angry. He just muttered, "Arrogance and prejudice, haha." After that, he did not say anything else.
Half a day passed quickly. Adam had clearly mastered the pronunciation of the incantation, but he still could not fully cast the spell. He simply stopped the experiment and asked the unfamiliar mage, "Excuse me, what is the problem?"
Mages were very loyal to the contract, and this mage from the Third Holy Tower was no exception. Although he was not very willing, he still answered, "Do not try to dismantle the reincarnation spell by building runes. The thirty-three syllables are a whole. You need to say all the syllables at the same time. This is very difficult, but you only have seven days. If you can't do it …"
"Om!"
Before he could finish, he heard Adam accurately chanting the incantation and then disappeared.
"It's only half a day. How is that possible?" The unfamiliar mage was shocked and took off his hood, revealing his pale face. No one knew the difficulty of this spell better than him. Even the most talented mage he had ever seen took five days to master it.
However, Adam could no longer hear his voice. After the spell was cast, he entered a strange state.
