Annexing a new civilization would obviously keep Luo Ji busy in the short term.

There are a lot of things that need to be confirmed by him personally.

Even with Zhang William assisting, it would still take a lot of time.

The key point here is undoubtedly to confirm the characteristics of the elf civilization.

In other words, what are the strengths of the elven civilization?

The specialty of the Orc civilization is its powerful war units and military strength.

The specialty of goblin civilization is its strong scientific and technological power.

So what are the specialties of elven civilization?

The powerful back row firepower is undoubtedly a point.

The backline firepower of the elven civilization is not composed of any equipment.

In fact, according to William Zhang, elves are not good at making precision instruments.

Therefore, most of the output firepower comes from the back row troops.

The elves currently have three back-row troops.

They are Elf Archers, Elf Mage and Elf Priest respectively!

Among them, the exaggerated shooting range of the elven archers was undoubtedly a question that Luo Ji had always been curious about.

After all, the range is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

He actually had an answer locked in his heart.

The other party may have used some magic or other means.

But it needs to be formally confirmed.

After posing this question to William Zhang.

The answer given by William Zhang is very clear.

It turns out that the archers of their elven civilization carry two barrels of arrows on their backs.

One tube contains ordinary arrows.

The other tube contained arrows engraved with special incantations.

There is no doubt that the ultra-long range comes from this kind of spell arrow.

The official name is Chasing the Wind Arrow.

However, it is different from magic weapons like Breath of Storm.

The Storm Arrow is a one-time use item.

After triggering the above spell and performing an attack.

The power of the spell on the arrow will be exhausted.

Then it will turn into an ordinary arrow with nothing special.

"But according to what you said before, you should need an energy core to trigger the incantation spell, right? And the magic core is so rare, can it still be used to mass-produce wind-chasing arrows?"

Luo Ji asked with a frown.

Faced with such a problem, Zhang William directly asked someone to fetch two wind-chasing arrows.

"Your Majesty, please see that the wind-chasing arrow in my left hand has already been used."

After saying that, Zhang William used force and broke the wind-chasing arrow on the spot.

Then from the fracture, a small gray-white stone was taken out.

The pebble was very small. If I had to say how small it was, it would be much smaller than the fingernail of my little finger.

William Zhang was not in a hurry to explain the pebble.

Instead, he picked up another Wind Chasing Arrow unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, this wind-chasing arrow has not been used yet."

After saying that, he used another force to break the wind-chasing arrow.

Luo Ji probably knew what he was going to do.

Sure enough, among the unused wind-chasing arrows, there was one of similar size...

As his thoughts were whirling, Luo Ji's expression suddenly froze.

gem?

It's not a stone, it's a sky-blue gem!

"Wind magic core?"

Luo Ji cast a questioning look at Zhang William.

There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

As he said before, since the magic core is so precious, it is destined to be impossible to use it to produce consumables such as arrows.

"Your Majesty, this is not a magic core."

After saying that, Zhang William placed the two stones, which were almost the same size but very different in appearance, in front of Luo Ji's eyes at the same time.

"Not the magic core?"

Luo Ji held the azure gem on his fingertips and looked at it carefully.

A little bit of light will make this gem shine brilliantly.

Although it is small, it is very obvious.

As for the other gray-white pebble, it is really in front of others, and no one may notice it.

"Your Majesty, this thing is a kind of ore, we call it a magic crystal, and this piece is a wind-type magic crystal."

"Something similar to an energy stone? Is there wind power in it?"

After all, Luo Ji is a veteran in the gaming industry. Although he specializes in war strategy games, he must have been exposed to this in other games to a greater or lesser extent.

Faced with this kind of thing, my mind still spins very quickly.

"Yes."

William Zhang nodded.

"To put it simply, magic crystal is a magic ore that contains elemental mana. But unlike magic core, magic crystal is a disposable item. Once the mana inside is used up, it will become like this."

While speaking, Zhang William pushed the small gray-white stone forward.

"So that's it. This small wind magic crystal contains the wind mana that can trigger a wind-chasing arrow spell. Once the mana is drained, it will become a piece of waste stone."

After speaking, Luo Ji's eyes fell directly on Zhang William.

"Are there many magic crystals like this?"

"In the elven civilization, there are two veins of magic crystal ore, and the output is neither too much nor too little, which is barely enough."

"And, as you can see, to make a wind-chasing arrow, you only need such a small magic crystal."

At this point, the mystery of the elven archer's shooting range is finally revealed.

When this wind-chasing arrow was shot, Luo Ji thought that the cost was definitely not cheap.

As for the Elf Mage.

On the way here, Luo Ji had already learned more about Zhang William through their casual chat.

To put it simply, spells are divided into three major levels: "lower level, middle level, and upper level".

The first-level wind pressure and the second-level gale bomb are low-level spells.

The third-level gale spell and the fourth-level wind blade spell are mid-level spells.

The fifth-level hurricane spell is undoubtedly a high-level spell.

The elven mages in the mage army are basically all low-level mages who can only cast low-level spells.

Intermediate mages are only a handful in the entire elf civilization.

Allen Iverson, Zhang William's right-hand man.

Strictly speaking, he is actually just a mid-level mage.

Although it is very close to the high level, it has not yet reached that point.

The reason why he was able to use the fifth-level hurricane technique was because the staff in his hand helped him bear part of the load.

But even so, he could only maintain the hurricane spell for a few seconds.

He did not exert the power of the fifth-level spell 100%.

Luo Ji, who had just learned the news, was undoubtedly shocked.

To be honest, the lethality was already shocking enough in his opinion.

But I didn't expect that it wasn't all.

At this moment, Luo Ji couldn't help but have strong expectations for the high-level mage.

However, according to William Zhang, among the current elf civilization, the one whose strength is closest to that of a high-level mage is Iverson.

And Iverson's own mage talent is also very outstanding.

But even so, if he wants to become a high-level mage, he still has to practice for another hundred or two hundred years.
