There is no widespread public lighting in the prosperous King's City of Standwick, and no one bothers to think about the lighting problem in the underground sewers that are not exposed to the sun all year round.
However, this matter is not a big problem for Liu Yifei's current capable team - not to mention torches and other common adventure props, there are even two light spellcasters in his team now. In any case, only lighting
No problem will stump anyone~
Chun Muxue: "...Seal of Glory (enhancement of magic patterns, continuous magic patterns)!"
Born to fight: "...What is that of yours?"
Liu Yifei: [Okay, the previous conclusion may have been drawn too early...]
Faced with the confused look of Born for War who was watching his wife's operation, Liu Yifei asked in despair: "The Seal of Glory! It's a non-combat lighting trick of the light system. It's a very commonly used trick during adventures."
, the mana consumption is small, and the spell is short, don’t tell me that you haven’t learned it yet! The information on this stuff was given to me by you back then!!”
"Forehead……"
Faced with his captain's desperate rhetorical question, Born for War felt a little helpless: "I know the 'Lighting Technique', which is a lighting spell used for combat, and... and there is a torch, I don't have one."
I want to learn so much..."
[Well, this guy was born to fight, so you really shouldn’t have high expectations for him...]
He was complaining in his heart, but in fact Liu Yifei could still understand the other party's thinking logic.
In essence, the emergence of Erathia's "Light Magic" itself is more "utilitarian", which is to enable the kingdom to bridge the huge gap with other forces in a certain series of relatively more comprehensive magical power as quickly as possible.
Enhance national strength.
As a result, Erathia's own spellcasters are more practical, especially in terms of value that can be reflected in combat, and their performance in other derivative fields of magic is much worse~
For example, the magic of life that is unique to Eli, the elves have integrated it into the medicine refining technology to create powerful potions with various characteristics; the wizards in the tower are even more amazing, and the magic can even be said to have penetrated into the life of their kingdom.
In all aspects, from the construction of people's livelihood, to the forging and alchemy, and even the strengthening of the army, they have made outstanding achievements!
In Erathia, "magic" power is still used as a pure combat force. The level of human development in this regard is even compared to the orc shamans of Crurod or the swamps of Taitalia.
Witch doctors are even worse...
The "Seal of Glory" used by Jiang Ruoyi at the moment is actually a small civilian trick developed after the light magic was learned by the wizards in the tower (and finally introduced to Erathia). The magic power is condensed.
The soft lines form a mark that represents "brilliance", which is eventually pulled by the caster to be carried on a specific "object". It is characterized by the light is not strong, the light source is stable, the basic duration of the spell is average, but the mana consumption is very small
.
Not to mention Jiang Ruoyi's skillful technique and solid foundation. During the process of holding the spell, he quickly moved the magic power to outline the strengthening magic pattern and the duration magic pattern, which further strengthened the lighting time of the "Seal of Glory" and slightly strengthened it.
The lighting intensity of this little trick…
With this light hand, he immediately "transformed" the shield on Leng Feng's left hand into a large "flashlight", naturally creating a convenient lighting source for the team without hindering the normal actions of the warrior units.
It reflects the superiority of the caster~
The "illumination technique" that Born for War refers to is a typical first-level spell developed locally by the light mages of Erathia. It is a strong light source suspended in the air, with high lighting intensity and long duration, but the spell casting is long.
...The key is that when this spell takes effect, it will continuously reduce the magic power of the caster. Under normal circumstances, it is definitely not as economical and affordable as the "Seal of Glory"~
After all, in an adventure with unknown duration and unknown combat intensity, finding ways to save magic power is a compulsory course for every spellcaster!
Erathia's concept of magic is inherently utilitarian. If it weren't for the development and research of Brakada's magic masters, many useful light spells might not even appear.
And the utilitarianism of the "players" group is even more impressive - Liu Yifei believes that even out of ten light mage players, nine and a half will not be so leisurely to memorize and learn "illumination skills", such as "
"Seal of Glory" is not worth most people's time and energy. As players who love fighting and killing, they still prefer those "intuitive" tricks that have attack, protection, and healing effects.
"Spell.
It has to be said that the personalities of most players are actually similar to the Erathia camp, or even more extreme...
Because Jiang Ruoyi stayed with Liu Yifei for a long time and was influenced by his "advanced" overall view in all aspects, she took the mage-type erudite route from the beginning. Even her entry-level profession was a mage-oriented "scholar"
, rather than a "singer" who was born for war, their spell-casting styles are naturally very different~
What really left Liu Yifei speechless was...
He has reminded him more than once that those who are born for war must be "erudite and knowledgeable"! The more spells you master, the better, and the more comprehensive situations you can deal with, the better...
Unexpectedly, this kid would rather spend his time fighting monsters, updating books, and refreshing forum posts, but so far he can't even get a "Seal of Glory"...
Fortunately, this kid's ambition is to be a priest with "double cultivation of magic and martial arts". If he seriously wanted to play a priest, Liu Yifei would give him a "failed" seal on the spot!
So after Jiang Ruoyi added two more "Seals of Glory" to the team, the team's light source was sufficient, and the exploration process became simpler~
Judging from the various aspects of intelligence collected by Liu Yifei, the underground level can be called the "safe zone" of the royal capital's underground waterways. Except for some ferocious rats, carnivorous spiders and some goblins wandering in remote areas, there is basically nothing to show off.
monster.
I won’t introduce the Goblin thing. It was the “Roadhog” that Liu Yifei brutally slaughtered a small tribe. Under normal circumstances, as long as there are no particularly outrageous mutations, the Goblins on the Entagre continent
Not worthy of special attention~
The Dire Rat thing is a bit interesting. To put it simply, this thing is the mutation of an ordinary rat that has been eroded by magic. Its body shape can probably change to the size of a cat or dog. It can jump, jump, scratch and bite.
Moreover, he has a strong desire to attack and will kill his entire clan when he is hungry. Usually, his fangs are filled with poison!
This thing usually appears in magic-rich areas in the wild... But in fact, on the Entagri continent, the most ferocious rats are produced around the wealthy cities of the three camps of Negon, Brakada and Erathia.
Why?
Because these three camps are relatively developed, various magic-related items are common in medium and large cities, especially magic potions. Once they are abandoned, discarded or related materials contaminate domestic garbage, groundwater, etc., it is very easy to cause people living in
The surrounding rat creatures mutate into dire rats.
In a big city like Erathia, the number of ferocious rats living in the underground waterways is probably enough to rank among the top ten in the mainland...
These "little guys" really couldn't help but talk about it. Liu Yifei was popularizing information about these "unpopular" low-level monsters in the team. Soon the team actually encountered a group of ferocious rats that might be looking for food, more than a dozen of them.
Big, red-eyed, hard-haired rats that were as big as a wolfdog lined up in front of us. It was quite intimidating to be honest in the dark and enclosed underground space...
"For the fight, Leng Feng, you two come on, let's fight quickly!"
Liu Yifei in the middle gave the order, and the others had no objections. The two leading "sword and shield soldiers" immediately stepped out of the team and pressed against the group of rats that were more than ten meters apart.
They are just a group of crazy rats. Two calm players whose basic strength is now close to the first level, coupled with the complete weapons equipped by Liu Yifei for everyone, it is relatively easy to deal with them...
But I don’t know what Liu Yifei was thinking. After the first "warm-up battle", the team moved forward quickly. No matter how many monsters there were along the way, they only let Born for War and Lengfeng Crossing pass to fight against the enemy. Others
Having people hold on until death and only supporting from the rear makes other people in the team a little unpredictable.
In particular, the team's marching speed was still a bit fast, and the two of them were barely given any rest time on the way. In the cycle of constant exploration and fighting, their physical strength was quickly depleted. After being "baptized" by a group of carnivorous spiders,
Now I'm a little bit breathless...
"Captain, what are you doing? Isn't it too biased to only let the two of them fight? My hands have been itchy all day~"
Obviously he was a little worried about his two teammates, but when it came to Cupid, he didn't say good things properly. He just rounded the corner and said that Liu Yifei was biased and wouldn't let the rest of them participate in the interesting battle. It seemed that he didn't see the two frontmen at all.
The guy who says "Happy" is almost exhausted~
But Liu Yifei chuckled and said: "Don't worry~ When we get to the second and third floors later, are you still worried that there will be no place for you to contribute? The environment is relatively safe now, so let the two of them practice more first.
They are different from you. Their fighting talents are not as high as yours, so they can only learn the basics and practice more! Only by putting in more sweat and time than talented people can they grow up."
Hearing what Liu Yifei said, Cupid had a slightly moved look in his eyes, but said reluctantly: "In the final analysis, isn't it just partiality? In terms of combat talent... who in our team can be higher than you?
Then when the captain reaches the bottom, he will watch us take action and paddle behind him?"
"You are the only one who talks too much~" Liu Yifei was also dumbfounded by Cupid. Thinking that this girl just couldn't sit still, he simply gave her some advice and said, "Aren't you just bored? Then you can also borrow it here.
The environment exercises your observation skills!
The light here is dim, and even with our magic lighting, there are still large blind spots in the field of vision...
You can try to observe the combat situation as much as possible before and during the battle, such as quickly counting the number of enemies, observing the enemy's status, and judging where teammates or enemies' attacks can be bloody, which can be fatal, or whether there are any.
The enemy wants to sneak away without others noticing...
The battle is happening right in front of you. As long as you are willing, the way to exercise is not just as simple as going to the front line and doing it yourself~
Ruoyi is a spellcaster and you are an archer. In a serious battle, you are both powerful firepower. You need to always pay attention to the overall changes and subtle adjustments in the battle situation, so that you can further amplify your power...
After all, whether an attack kills a soldier or a commander, the actual impact on the battle situation is definitely different~
How to unleash the full power of your highly lethal units in the shortest possible time is something you must consider."
Liu Yifei's few words made Cupid next to him dumbfounded. He looked at Liu Yifei as if he had seen a ghost and said, "Are you crazy? If you have to consider so many details when playing a game... then you will die from exhaustion? You just carry it with you.
Even with a data terminal, it’s impossible to process so much and such fast real-time information, right?”
Liu Yifei turned his head in a rare turn, looked at Cupid seriously and said: "Of course it is comfortable to play easily~ But if you want to further improve your strength, you must put pressure on yourself and force yourself to practice.
Endure hardship and make progress...
Otherwise, just tell me, is there anything in this world that can make people become number one easily and comfortably?
Do you still remember the competition we had in the ring?
Have you never thought about why I can block every sword you shoot with the back of my sword?
Is my speed really fast enough to shoot arrows faster than yours?
No, that is precisely because I have long formed the instinct to judge the opponent's actions and attack trajectories, and my experience is enough to cope with all your attack methods and your shooting angles. I will calculate it before your arrow leaves the string.
'Here we go, all I have to do next is just a little fine-tuning~
so……
If you don't even have the experience or ability to predict my next move, why do you think you can defeat me? And why do you think you can easily surpass me after my serious and hard training?"
Liu Yifei's sudden seriousness caught Cupid off guard. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Liu Yifei in disbelief and said: "You...you don't always have these messy thoughts in your head when you play games."
Right? Have you always 'practiced' like this?"
Liu Yifei rolled his eyes at her and said, "What else do you think? Am I really a 'skilled killer' as those idiots on the forum said?"
Stop making trouble, okay~
How can one be superior to others if one cannot bear the hardships?
You yourself have said that you went through a lot of hardships when practicing archery in the past, and if you can't show the same serious energy and determination in the game...
Ha~
Don’t talk about defeating me, I can even guarantee you that within three months, my wife will be able to get rid of you~"
Facing Geralt, who suddenly showed great confidence and arrogance at this moment, Fatal Cupid, who had always been somewhat indifferent, fell into silence...
