Chapter 21 Xia Qi II

Magic Melody crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the stove. The flames behind the iron fence brightened a little, and there was a soft crackle. The black knight sat in the shadow, holding his cheek with his armored gauntlet.

Putting her elbows on her knees and looking at him, she stroked her dark cloak embroidered with silver roses and said, "You are so arrogant, this guy."

The firelight reflected half of this man's face, either brightly or darkly, allowing you to recognize that this is an old acquaintance, Black Knight Soth.

Magic Melody smiled nonchalantly: "It's not the first time anyway, but this time he can't help it." He opened his book, his eyes turned mysteriously on the title page and stared around. The young mage in a gray-red robe was using

He stroked the soft pages with his fingers and said, "I plan to go to the four towns."

"Four Towns?" Soth stood upright and made a creaking sound under his armor: "What are you doing there?"

"The Bloody Slayer is hiding there." Magic Melody replied: "I think he will be there next stop. Since he doesn't come to me, I have to go find him."

"But I heard that the woman Lindlett mentioned that that person is very powerful."

"Congressman Flambois only has a 30% chance of winning against me," the young red-robed man smiled calmly and pointed to his forehead: "What's more, this is where mages rely on to fight. I know him very well, and he treats me very well.

I don't know. I guess I'm at least 60% sure that I can match him -" He looked leisurely and confident, his eyes sparkling against the fire.

"A magician?" Soth said with a smile, "This sounds like a trick, but I like it."

"When trickery becomes the footnote of victory, it is often called wisdom."

"I hope I'm not trying to be smart." The Black Knight shook his head and said somewhat carefreely, "But since the Slayer is there, I might want to take a trip. I have always been interested in why the elite team of the Bloody Slayer, the Silent Slayer, is there.

Our 'Magic Saw' before, but I guess this is an opportunity for us rednecks to see it?"

"What, are you welcome to go with your old friend?"

"I'm very happy." Magic Melody smiled.



The sun has become hot since the morning. On the undulating hillside in the young forest area, the bright sunlight outlines the emerald green outline of this ridge town——

The carriage passed through an avenue under a gray-red roof and drove down the sloping street. The carriage swayed and creaked. The owner of the shop, a businessman in a robe and the rich lady looking out from the second-floor window, took

A strange and wary gaze watched the carriage passing under the canopy of jasper trees.

There are rumors in the town that there is a tricolor coat of arms on the wall of this carriage. The carriage that belonged to the Earl has a new owner. It is said that he is a terrible mage, but no one knows what his temper is.

But compared to the panic among the residents of the inner city, the outer city is thriving.

The guards opened the door respectfully and let the carriage leave the city. In the carriage, the mage, the goblin and Miss Yugudola sat opposite each other. The swordsman lady didn't care too much about this cramped environment - she kept using two long swords.

He lifted up the curtains with his long fingers and looked at the scenery outside with relish. The carriage quickly passed through an area that was being rebuilt, and outside it was a scene of ruins.

On one side of the driveway are houses with wooden frames, and on the other side are newly built tents and sheds. On the construction site, the pastors set up a shed to distribute bread and clean water, and the displaced people sat in front of the table.

There were several long queues. Although people were coming and going, everything seemed to be in order. The wood and stone used for the reconstruction of the entire project were all locally sourced. The manpower was provided by players, and the funds came from the earl's savings.

Yun Na, Goblin and Uncle Hong contributed to every aspect of the project.

The goblin looked at this scene quite proudly, and he really hoped that his efforts would be recognized.

However, the mage is reading about the changes in the Book of Doom and has no other thoughts for the time being. After the opening of the third chapter, two new abilities were added as scheduled: the Holy Word of Ten Thousand Laws and the Supreme Law. The Supreme Law comes at the cost of consuming an unused memory spell slot.

, the ability to temporarily increase the holder's caster level (cl). This ability is a bit of a timely help for Xiao Fen - generally speaking, the spell DC and the caster level (cl) are the measures of a spell caster.

There are two important criteria for the level of a caster's combat effectiveness. The importance of the former has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Needless to say, the caster level is an attribute that has been gradually valued by some high-level mages in recent times.

In fact, spellcasters now know that the caster level determines all aspects of spell resistance in Canaan, such as counterspells, dispelling spells, or a series of checks to break through spell resistance. It even includes dispelling, expelling, and some effects.

HD spells, such as Holy Word, Evil Word spells (such as the Chaos Mantra mentioned earlier), as well as the damage caused by some spells, duration and range (note), are all restricted by this ability

and influence.

(Note: For example, it lasts per caster level/round, takes d6 points of damage per caster level, or has a range of x40 feet per caster level, etc.)

If the spell DC can describe the probability of a spell successfully causing an impact, then the caster level determines how powerful a spell should be.

The Hand of Doomsday happens to be relatively weak in this aspect, but this time it temporarily alleviated the temporary need through this ability. However, Xiao Fen did not think this ability was very outstanding. After all, using it requires consuming spell slots in memory, and the spell slots happen to be

For an arcane caster, it is the most important thing to rely on. Therefore, the balance between the two has become a new problem for the mage.

But the other ability is more imba. The Holy Word of Ten Thousand Laws should obviously be the core ability of Chapter 3. It allows the holder to extract a so-called 'ancient spell' from this chapter at the cost of consuming arcane points.

Come and cast it. Xiao Fen didn’t know what ancient magic was. But as soon as he opened the following chapters, he almost threw the Book of Doomsday away——

Doomsday [Evocation. Fire] (language, posture): The caster creates a continuous huge rain of fire, attacking the area you designate (cylinder, 250 feet radius, 750 feet high). The fire rain hits the area every round.

All creatures deal 10d6 points of fire damage. The spell lasts for one minute, with a Reflex saving throw for half (spell resistance applies).

Consumption, equipment: 10 minutes of basic casting time, 70 arcana points, 20,000 experience points

Double Double [Transformation] (Language, Material): The caster creates a temporary double with health points equal to the caster; the double is similar to the caster in all aspects (spells, supernatural, special abilities, physical attributes), and is affected by

Each attack shares half of the damage. The clone will exist for a round equal to (Hand of Doomsday career level), and then disintegrate.

Consumption, equipment: 30 seconds basic casting time, 32 arcane points, one flame-marked peridot

Needless to say, doomsday spells. Although its damage is not high, it is only equivalent to the damage of a fireball spell, but its range is terrifyingly large - cylinder, 250 feet radius, 750 feet high. Xiao Fen calculated this range,

After you expand yourself five times and then use spells to expand the super magic, you can reach a radius of 2,500 feet and a height of 7,500 feet, which can almost cover the entire advancement surface on most battlefields in Canaan.

In particular, its damage is once per round, and the spell lasts up to one minute (10 rounds).

Of course, the consumption is equally astonishing. Not to mention the difficult ten minutes of casting and the seventy arcane powers, 20,000 experience points are life-threatening. Once this spell is cast, the mage will have to drop from level 16 back to level 15, and daily

It will take at least half a month to make up for the adventure.

As for the second spell, the power of double double still does not need too much description. Especially the fact that it only consumes 32 points of arcana and does not require any experience is the icing on the cake. But things like flame pattern peridot... Xiao Fen is

There are only ten coins in stock from the Ella people's treasury. Most of them have been replenished with constant spells for themselves and their teammates. Now there are only three coins left on hand, which makes me feel sad when I think about it.

After reading this, Xiao Fen closed the book and let out a long breath. Regardless of whether the cost was huge or not, at least he had the ability to explode, and he would not encounter any emergency situation and a group of people would go up and fight to the death of both parties.

Like this time, it took Xue and the little girl almost three days to get out of bed.

Although these spells have not yet reached the strength of legendary spells, they are close to it, but the cost of casting the spells is also much smaller than that of legendary spells. At least he saves the step of arcane knowledge test, and he has made a huge profit.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and found Miss Yugudola looking out the car window with interest. Xiao Fen looked out from there and saw Uncle Hong and his team on the construction site in the distance. In the past few days, they have helped

Being busy, the players not only participated in the reconstruction work, but also took the initiative to organize to maintain law and order and appease the people, allowing Thornburg to survive the most difficult period of time without any large-scale riots or conflicts, and no bloodshed.

It has also been reduced to the minimum range.

They don't ask for anything in return, they just complete these things from the bottom of their hearts, as if they can find the source of happiness. Xiao Fen is not sure about such behavior, but at least he appreciates it.

Of course, these players are not without gains. In the process, they learned how to negotiate with NPCs in Canaan. This is undoubtedly the most important lesson for these people - because only when you have a deep understanding of this world

, in order to further explore its background and plot, the rewards and investment are often proportional, which is why many first-generation players get the upper hand.

Xiao Fen and Goblin jumped out of the carriage, followed by Miss Swordsman. As soon as they got off the carriage, they were surrounded by players. Rumors about this 'Master Mage' in Thorn Castle are flying all over the sky, but most of the players know that he is

Palin of Star Lake is a legend among players. Most of them look at him with curiosity and envy, but less awe - which is exactly the opposite of NPC residents. Of course, some people admire this name.

The young people who had just joined the ranks of mages followed Xiao Fen's footsteps fanatically.

The first ones to come up were Uncle Hong and Ye Gucheng. Seeing that their faces were covered with dust and sweating profusely, Xiao Fen felt a little embarrassed, as if he was just an idler here. But what surprised him was Ke'er

He and the little girl were also here. The little paladin princess separated from the crowd and squeezed over. When she saw her captain, she couldn't help laughing and bent over.

"Captain, giggle..." She looked like this when she saw Xiao Fen now, laughing so hard that she was out of breath: "Man-eating demon, hahaha, Captain is a man-eating demon..."

"Not only is he a man-eating demon, he is also a lecherous mage." Ke'er added with a smile from behind in a nonchalant tone.

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Xiao Fen felt powerless when he mentioned this. Now his name is widely circulated up and down Thornburg. Unfortunately, thanks to his performance that night, none of these reputations are good. In short, compared with the panic of the residents in the inner city, the fear outside is

There are many such rumors circulating among the residents of the city. Some describe him as a demon who eats a baby for dinner every day. Of course, there are also some sayings that the mage lord covets beauty and wants to name an educated woman every day.

The wealthy lady attends the bed——

Each of these rumors painted him vividly, as if there was really such a thing. In short, as soon as he saw Cole and the little girl, he knew that he would be laughed at. Even for a while, Miss Griffin

The look in his eyes was strange, and he no longer had the longing he had before.

"Why are you here? How are you preparing?" Xiao Fen pulled his hood and asked with a pale face: "Where are the others?"

"Sister Xue said she was looking for a carriage." When she got down to business, the little girl immediately restrained herself: "As for the other things, they are almost ready. Just wait for the stump and the big guy to go on the road." She said curiously as she spoke.

Look at Yugudora.

The female swordsman smiled slightly and stretched out her hand: "Hello, my name is Yugudora." She spoke each word slowly.

"Hello?" The little girl shook hands with her and looked at the other person's long golden hair curiously. There was a sentence written in her clear eyes: Miss Swordsman, what do you do?

But Ke'er didn't have this problem. In fact, she could tell by looking at Yugudora's appearance from behind. As the Seven Seas Merchant Group is a famous group, the elf lady was very clear about the looks of the main members.

After all, the other party often appears in social situations, and is more mysterious than an adventurous group like Shining Gold Coin that spends all day digging in mountain pits.

"My name is Keer, hello." She smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."

"Me too, Miss Cole——"

But Xiao Fen interrupted them and introduced: "This is Miss Yugudola, Ms. Roman's teammate. She will be operating with us for a period of time." Then the little girl showed a look of surprise. She looked up and down.

As she looked at this new teammate, Miss Swordsman didn't take it seriously and smiled broadly to let her take a good look.

"Get to know each other, and we'll hit the road as soon as the carriage is ready," Xiao Fen continued. The invitation letter from the Hand of Despair had already aroused his vigilance, which meant that the other party had figured out the whereabouts of the shining gold coin - although

This was expected, but it was not a good sign. The mage realized that he could no longer stay in this place, but before that, he still looked at Uncle Hong and his group and nodded to them.

"Palin, are you leaving?" Uncle Hong came over and was the first to ask; this man's face had the unique calmness of a middle-aged man, but his words still had the usual shrewdness: "And the truth

The shield has been negotiated, what did you say?"

"Brother Palin, are you leaving?" The little girl also turned around. She has had feelings for the people here for almost half a month - whether it is NPCs or players, everything here makes her feel hope and warmth.

Xiao Fen looked at everyone and smiled lightly: "Yes, thank you for your hard work, everyone. But Shining Gold Coin is indeed just an adventure group and has no intention of intervening in the war. I feel more comfortable leaving Thorn Castle to you, and Shield of Truth will provide you with

Asylum, but you must reach an agreement with them - the content of the agreement is basically clear, except for some details. But I believe you have seen the general framework, and I will leave the rest to you."

Uncle Hong and Ye Gucheng both showed understanding expressions. The latter came over, patted Xiao Fen's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Palin, seriously, how is the situation here?"

The mage took a breath and replied: "There will be no problem for the time being, but the Hand of Despair will definitely not give up here. The Shield of Truth can only protect you for a while. When the situation in the direction of Dragon City is certain, you must decisively evacuate towards Jinghu Lake.

."

"What to do with the people here?" Ye Gucheng was a little worried: "We can't just bring war to them."

Others gathered around them, with expressions on their faces clearly concerned about the issue.

Xiao Fen looked at Ye Gucheng, then at Uncle Hong, and saw their respective sincerities on their faces. Of course, the latter might have some other factors mixed in, but the mage didn't care about these. So he answered

Said: "Actually, we can never know whether it is right or wrong to do something, even if we complete it with good intentions. But if you really feel that you are alone, take these people to Brossalon, I

Someone will be arranged to pick you up there."

"Brosalon, isn't that the rear of the Hand of Despair?" a player asked.

"Indeed," Xiao Fen smiled slightly: "But those are not important, because I am a mage."

"Mage?"

"Remember this: Even the worst wizard can do magic."



(ps: The Book of Doomsday has been updated. This is the second chapter. Let’s talk about it tonight... monthly tickets, my lords. I am exhausted both physically and mentally, students.)
