Chapter 90: Arcane Knight

Based on this information, Gao Fei learned that Major Frame was a level 9 "Arcane Knight".

"Arcane Knight" is a major type of warrior profession. It can wear armor and hold a shield, fight in close quarters like an ordinary warrior, and cast spells like a warlock. It is a standard profession that combines magic and martial arts, and also derives

There are many sub-professions.

For example, Umberto's "Swift Swordsman" is actually a branch under the "Arcane Knight" - probably also the strongest branch!

In Goofy's view, the Arcane Knight is actually an "arcane version" of the Paladin.

Most of these mixed professions have a common problem - they know everything but are not good at anything.

Arcane Knight is no exception.

Melee combat is not as good as a pure warrior profession, and spellcasting is not as good as a pure spellcasting profession—at most, you can only learn 5-level spells.

However, the Arcane Knight is not a rigid mix and match, but a clever fusion of martial arts and magic in order to maximize its effectiveness in actual combat.

The example of the fusion of magic and martial arts is the Arcane Knight's signature abilities "Magic" and "Magic Fighting".

"Magic", Gao Fei is already very familiar with it. It uses melee weapons to conduct contact and ray magic, which is very powerful.

"Magic fighting" is more perverted than "magic"!



Magic Fighting: After completing the attack action with the main hand, spend a bonus action to immediately add a spell attack with the off-hand, and vice versa.



What does it mean?

It's like a person dual-wielding weapons, slashing with a knife with his left hand, and stabbing with a dagger with his left hand. There's nothing wrong with the standard "two-sword style" style of fighting, right?

Now you remove the off-hand dagger and replace it with magic, or dual-wield the attack, and fight twice in one round, except that one of the attacks is replaced by a weapon and a spell. This is the so-called "magic fighting art"!

The opposite is also true, first release a magic, and then use the bonus action to launch a weapon attack.

Looking at it this way, "Magic Fighting Technique" is not only a variant of the two-sword style, but also a two-sword style that is balanced for both left and right hands. It comes with action casting, which is equivalent to having its own "swift" super magic. I have to say, it's a bit awesome!

The arcane knight mainly relies on the two unique skills of "magic" and "magic fighting".

Arcane Knights can learn "Magic" at level 5, while the more powerful "Magic" can only be learned at level 11.

To Gao Fei's relief, Henry Frame, his opponent in this duel, only mastered "magic" and had not yet learned "magic fighting".

So it can be imagined that Frame's tactical routines are mainly designed around "magic".

In addition to "magic", a standard level 9 arcane knight is also good at "slashing", "whirlwind slashing", "offensive tide", as well as the two abilities of "life magic conversion" and "weapon connection".



Life Demon Conversion: As a bonus action, every 2 magic points spent will restore 1d6 HP points to oneself. For one conversion, the maximum magic power spent does not exceed one's own casting level, rounded down.

Weapon Bonding: Choose a weapon you are proficient in, perform a ritual, and make a contract, giving it an advantage in attack rolls, damage calculated as charm modifier, and equivalent to a magic weapon.



"Weapon connection" is equivalent to the magician's "contract weapon".

"Life Demon Transformation" is similar to the priest's "spontaneous medical treatment", but it can only restore one's own blood and consume double the magic power.

A level 9 arcane knight can usually awaken three 0-level magics, three 1-level magics, and two 2-level magics.

Valley

Judging from the information provided by the private detective, the spells Major Frame is good at include 0-level "Magic Explosion", "Light Spell" and "Blade Protection", 1-level "Electric Claw" and "Giant Transformation", and

2 rings of "Scorching Ray".

There is still a 1st ring and a 2nd ring missing. Due to insufficient information, there is no way to know.

Also unknown are Major Frame's expertise, attributes, and health.

It's a pity that I didn't find out about my expertise.

As for attributes and health, Goofy didn't expect the private detective hired by Mrs. Dreyfus to provide them.

In this game world, NPCs cannot see each other's attribute data at all unless they use detection spells, such as the legendary 2-level "Advanced Inner Sight", let alone say "health value" from an NPC's mouth.

word.

Otherwise, it means that the NPC knows that its life is just a string of data, has broken the "fourth wall", and has completely overplayed.

Data such as health points are generally only visible to players.

Two chapters ago, on the night when Gao Fei went to the "Hellfire Club" for a banquet, he met Major Frame.

Unfortunately, he didn't realize at the time that this person would become his opponent in the duel, and he didn't check his details.

Now if you want to know Major Frame's attributes and HP, you can only wait until the day of the duel and then use the astrolabe to investigate.

Based on the intelligence currently available, Gao Fei designed two sets of tactics to deal with Major Frame.

Afterwards, I spent an astrolabe energy to cut off the cutscene and go directly to the day of the duel two weeks later.

The duel time is 10 o'clock in the morning.

It's still the familiar dueling ground.

The weather was not very good, it was raining and snowing non-stop.

The Colts specially accompanied their daughter to the sidelines to watch the game.

The couple's position is closer to the conservatives, and they sympathize with Captain Dreyfus's experience, but insist that the Canaanite Kingdom has actually participated in the war in the New World and become an enemy country, including Isaiah Dreyfus.

All Canaanite immigrants in the country are not suitable to serve in secret-related departments like the Military Intelligence Agency - even if they are falsely accused.

Despite their differences in political stances, the Colts fully expected their would-be son-in-law to win the duel.

To put it bluntly, even if you lose to your opponent, you must at least save your own life.

The game starts in five minutes.

The venue was already surrounded by spectators holding umbrellas.

In addition to the Colt family, Goofy's old friends from Pattus Street, Umberto, Claire and Mario, also came to the duel to cheer him on.

Captain Dreyfus himself was still in custody. Mrs. Dreyfus came to the duel with her two children. In addition to relatives and friends, she was also surrounded by many people who supported Dreyfus' innocence, most of whom were well-known.

Intellectuals, such as writers, journalists and university teachers.

On Frame's side, there were also many groups of relatives and friends who came to cheer.

Gao Fei also saw several familiar faces, all of whom were members of the Hellfire Club.

"Hi! Paul, good morning!"

Gao Fei took off his hat and waved, taking the initiative to say hello to Mr. Potter.

"Musk..." Paul Porter had a complicated look on his face. He hesitated before walking over. Regardless of everyone's strange looks, he hugged Gao Fei forcefully and whispered in his ear: "Brother, no matter what, you must leave the duel alive."
