The scarecrow climbed up, untied the cable, tied it to a big tree by the river, and built a rope bridge in this way.
Ma Yun took the other end of the cable from Jiang Feng, climbed up the pine tree at the head of the bridge, and tied it about three meters above the ground. She made sure that the knot on her side was higher than the knot on the other side, making the rope bridge tilt across.
over the cliff,
Then, Ma Yun used the artificer's skills to make a set of simple pulleys using leather and the iron neck guard she removed from the activated armor, and the pulleys were also tied with ropes.
After getting ready, Ma Yun held the handles on both sides of the pulley with both hands and slid along the downward sloping rope bridge to the other side.
The moment she landed, she used the soft scarecrow as a cushion and landed safely.
When Jiang Feng saw Ma Yun successfully leaping over the cliff, he pulled the rope connecting the pulley and pulled the pulley back from the other side. He also followed Ma Yun's example and slid along the rope bridge.
Next was Tin Woodman Nick, who also slipped over without any risk.
On this side of the broken bridge, Goofy and Dimitri the lion are left.
Dimitri was frightened to death, claiming that he had a "disease that will kill you if your feet leave the ground", and refused to go on the rope bridge.
"If you don't hurry up, I'll kick you into the river and feed you to the bastard!" Gao Fei said angrily.
His threat worked, and Dimitri, a coward, had no choice but to muster up courage. He gripped the pulley with his front paws and slid over with his eyes closed.
As we approached the shore, the cable suddenly broke!
The lion's body was hanging in the air, losing its support. It was so frightened that it screamed and kicked its hooves wildly!
Fortunately, I still relied on inertia to fall to the other side, bumped into the scarecrow, hugged each other, and rolled far away!
"Oh my god! I was scared to death!"
Ma Yun covered her heart and turned pale. It took her a while to calm down, and she planned to rebuild the rope bridge.
On the other side of the river, Gao Fei waved to her.
"Don't bother, I will find a way to get there."
Today is the last chance to switch between "magic masks". Gao Fei changed the thief mask into a druid mask, turned into an eagle, spread his wings and flew to the opposite side of the river, landed floatingly on the ground, and returned to his human form.
At the same time, Ma Yun received a system prompt:
"You have reached the plot milestone of this chapter, Astrology Energy 1!"
Ma Yun's artificer has been upgraded to level 4, with hp 4 and attributes 1. She has also learned a new professional ability "activation skill".
…
Activation Skill: Starting from level 4, the 2-level "Second Activation Skill" is added to your spell book and can be cast without memorizing it in advance.
Level 2 "Lesser Activation" (School of Transmutation): Range 100 feet 10 feet/casting level, animate objects no longer than 4 feet long, wide, and high, turning them into temporary constructs, lasting 1 minute/level
; The caster can communicate telepathically with the activated item and spend concentration to control it remotely.
…
"Secondary Activation" is the starting point of the activation series of spells, and there are many derived branches, such as "Activated Weapon", "Activated Shield" and "Activated Rope", which are all specific applications of this spell.
Activated items created by magic are only temporary constructs. They have no intelligence attributes and cannot act independently.
While activating the item, the caster can implant a concise and clear instruction into it, such as "protect me", "guard the door", "patrol around the house" and so on.
"Activated items" cannot understand commands that are too complex, nor can they execute commands that require independent judgment - for example, "select the most beautiful girl in the classroom."
"Activated Objects" don't understand what beauty and ugliness are at all, so how can they possibly select the "most beautiful girls"?
This kind of order is very unreasonable!
If the caster must "activate objects" to perform complex tasks, or to act according to his own will, pre-implanted instructions alone are not enough, and the activated construct can only be controlled in real time through telepathy.
In this case, letting the activated construct select the most beautiful girls is actually the caster instilling his own aesthetic standards into the construct through telepathy, so that it can choose the beauty according to its own standards. In essence, it is still himself.
When it comes to making choices, the construct is nothing more than a tool for running errands.
It should be noted that although controlling the construct through telepathy is more flexible than pre-implanted instructions, it requires more energy from the caster - one must remain focused during the remote control. Once the concentration is interrupted, the construct will lose control.
.
"Great!" Ma Yun rubbed her hands excitedly, "Learn the activation skills, and I can create my own construct!"
"Xiaoyun, what kind of construct do you plan to create?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"I've thought about it a long time ago! First use the materials on hand to make a 'Sky Sword', and then go to the system store to buy a tower shield. It can be activated into a 'Dancing Sky Shield' during battle!"
Ma Yun excitedly opened the storage space of the astrolabe, took out the refined long sword recovered from the "Activated Armor", spent 5 points of magic power, fired a "Secondary Activation Technique" at the long sword, and implanted the preset command.
:
"Protect your Creator!"
The long sword shone with magical aura, floated in the air, and slowly floated around Miss Mage, just like planets orbiting the sun.
Next, Ma Yun asked Gao Fei and Jiang Feng to help test it.
The results show that the radius of activity of this "volley sword" is about 10 meters. Within this area, as long as someone tries to attack Ma Yun, the "volley sword" will immediately trigger a counterattack and be chased and chopped by it.
"Sky Sword" is a magic weapon, with a basic damage die of 1d8. Ma Yun's intelligence correction is used to calculate the attack roll and damage bonus. Since the sword itself is a refined weapon, the extra 1 attack roll is quite powerful!
The default command is "protect the master", so the "Lingkong Sword" will not actively stay away from the master.
If Ma Yun needs her "Sky Sword" to fly 10 meters (30 feet) away to kill someone, she can only switch to telekinesis mode and stay focused.
The farthest attack radius of "Sky Sword" is the maximum range of "Secondary Activation".
With Ma Yun's current spellcasting level, she can remotely control the "Sky Sword" to fly up to 140 feet away to attack the enemy.
"Wow! Xiaoyun, your sword is so powerful! It's just like the 'flying sword' in Xianxia novels. With a thought, it can fly hundreds of feet away to take someone's head." Jiang Feng's eyes were full of envy.
"This 'Sky Sword' is not bad, but it can only be activated for a few minutes. It would be better if it could be activated permanently like Nick and Vita." Gao Fei said.
"Permanent activation is not impossible, but you have to pay more!"
Ma Yun opened the system store and pointed to the light blue crystal on the counter to show Gao Fei.
"This thing is called magic crystal. It is the most important enchanting material and industrial magic energy in the world of Vales. Its status is equivalent to coal and oil in our Blue Star Industrial Revolution era!"
