The feeling of nervousness and anticipation rarely appeared to Catalina, or it could be said that this feeling had only appeared once before.
It was her first assassination mission, and she wanted to show her father the results of her more than ten years of training, but the result was not wonderful. She messed up everything and made her father give up on her. She even sent assassins to eliminate him.
A shameful work.
After that time, she truly had the cold heart that a top assassin should have, but now, after coming to Noxus Academy of Magic again after half a month, her mood was quite ups and downs.
How is the magic dagger going?
She didn't think that Sewell would tease her, nor did she think that the chief craftsman of the dignified Philos family would fail to create several magic daggers. She was even looking forward to the magical effects of the daggers.
When Swain asked her what she thought of Ji Xing, apart from the "terrible" comment, she actually had another sentence hidden in her throat.
'It feels very similar to you.'
He's the kind of guy who's omnipotent, as deep as the sea, and can't see through the depths at all!
And she always trusted her instincts.
Adjusting her emotions, she walked into the college's magic equipment building with a clear movement and expression, and stepped up to the third floor - she didn't know where to find Ji Xing, so she could only go to the third-level person who was responsible for making the magic dagger for her first.
Mage Eugenie.
"Huh, here you go?"
Eugenie didn't have a good opinion of her. Caterina knew it but didn't care. At the same time, she keenly noticed some indescribable "envy and resentment" emotions on Eugenie's face today.
Her eyes then moved down and looked at Eugenie's messy mage table. The previously neat table was covered with dozens or hundreds of equipment blueprints, as well as a thick stack of material books, and the few she saw at a glance
There are dagger designs painted on them.
Is this painted for me? So much?
"Don't look at it. This is my research. Your dagger, Master Sevier, was made two days ago. Come with me." Eugenie got up and walked towards the corridor. She couldn't help but add as she passed Katarina.
He said: "You're a lucky guy. Well, me too."
Catalina's crimson eyes fluctuated slightly as she asked: "Is the dagger sharp?"
Eugenie glanced at her: "I thought you didn't have normal human emotions. But...sharp? Such a description is really sorry for the six daggers, and also sorry for the drawings I drew while staying up all night for the past two days."
Catalina looked at her, and Eugenie shrugged and said: "I think that is a divine weapon. Perhaps due to the limitations of materials and size, it is not as powerful as those legendary holy objects, but for a magic equipment master
, it is an out-and-out artifact. Each dagger is enchanted with seven kinds of magic by Master Sevier. I have witnessed all this with my own eyes, but until now I still don’t know how Master Sevier did it.
Well, this is also the homework that Master Sevier left for me. If I can reverse the drawings, Master Sevier will teach me more things. I haven't listened to the magic regularly taught by the old mages in the academy for five or six years.
The class is over, well, it’s really hard to pick up the mentality of an apprentice again.”
Although she said this, Catalina could clearly capture the expectation and motivation on Eugenie's face, and whispered: "Seven kinds of magic..."
"You don't understand what this means. Even General Darius's black cutter is only three-level enchanted. Although magic and magic are different... In short, you can just treat them as family heirlooms. Maybe a hundred years later.
People have long forgotten you, but they can remember them."
Katarina squeezed her fingertips, no, I will become a great assassin that the world will never forget.
But she had to admit that her expectations for the dagger had reached its peak at this moment.
Arriving at the door of the workshop in the deepest part of the magic equipment department, there was a pair of magic apprentices guarding the door. Yogni looked at the closed door and said in surprise and expectation: "Mage Sewell has started to create new magic weapons again?
What is it?"
"Uh, Master Eugenie..."
Just as Bates was hesitant to explain, the door of the workshop opened with a creak, and a flaming breath shot out from the inner hole. Ji Xing appeared in Eugenie Catalina's sight, but his expression was refreshing.
Their attention was not focused here, but more attracted by the staff carried by Ji Xing.
It was a silver staff, like the mysterious tribute of moonlight falling on the world, exuding a cold and noble luster, like the Milky Way pouring down in the night sky, flowing with a faint silver brilliance.
The staff's body is slender and elegant. The middle of the staff is inlaid with a delicate pure white hex gem. The handle of the staff is wrapped with delicate silver vines, and the vines are also inlaid with some smaller sea stones.
kes gem.
As one of the powerful people of the Philos family, Ji Xing has this kind of thing in his inventory.
The head of the staff is engraved with a flying silver phoenix. Its feathers are slender and gorgeous, lifelike. It is held by Ji Xing, but there is a kind of phoenix that is about to flap its wings in Ji Xing's palm and soar in the misplaced sky.
.
"So beautiful..." Eugenie couldn't help but let out an unprofessional exclamation, but it was the best expression of her mood at the moment.
Even Katarina secretly admired that even if this kind of thing was held by a low-level mage, everyone would probably mistake him for a great guy. But when Sewell held it, his temperament was more like
A natural match!
"Is this the staff you made for yourself?" Soon, Yogni came back to her senses and asked expectantly: "I feel the breath of Zhenbing and the heart of the Frost Troll? How many layers of magic have you attached to it? This should
It’s the best staff I’ve ever seen!”
"It's just a very simple increase in spell efficiency and levitation." Ji Xing's staff tapped, and Eugenie's figure flew up as if being carried by the breeze: "Oh, and these Hex gems can improve
Some explosive power."
It was very simple to say, but Yogni, who had seen Ji Xing make a dagger with her own eyes, did not dare to take it as simple. What happened two days ago was not so easy to forget.
When Ji Xing was enchanting, she kept asking people nearby to shout, ‘No, Master Sewell’, ‘It’s too much, it’s going to break’, ‘Stop it quickly’…
The result? Ji Xing is now the 'God of Magic Craftsmen' in her heart, on the same level as Ornn, the legendary demigod of the Freljord Mountain Hidden Flame!
After falling back to the ground, she glanced at the outsider Catalina and didn't ask any further questions.
Ji Xing turned around and walked back to the workshop. He quickly came back dragging a plate of daggers with one hand and said to Katarina: "Let's go to the equipment testing area to tell you the characteristics of the new daggers."
Caterina looked down.
Compared to the extremely gorgeous staff in Ji Xing's hand, the six daggers in the tray are ordinary, even dark and a bit ugly.
This strong sense of gap made her subconsciously disappointed. Then she remembered that this is what an assassin's weapon should look like. She took the tray and picked up a dagger, her movements stagnating slightly.
So comfortable.
No, it's very convenient.
It felt like someone with a mutilated limb had found her arm. The size and shape of the dagger seemed to fit her palm prints, like something growing out of her hand!
She thought of Ji Xing's measurement of the length of her arms and palms half a month ago, and knew that this was probably not a magical effect, but just the skills of a craftsman!
The road to the equipment testing area became a bit long, and when we finally arrived, Ji Xing said: "Master Yogni told you that I have added seven levels of magic to these daggers, one by one, starting with the most basic one - blood contract.
"
Catalina was startled and said in surprise: "Do you even understand the blood magic of the Scarlet Secret Society?"
The Scarlet Secret Society is an ancient magic society in Noxus. Because it is easier to get started, even ordinary people without talent can master one or two blood magics. It is very powerful among high-ranking officials and nobles, but under Katarina's
In my memory, my father seemed to be a little repelled and wary of this.
"A little bit involved." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I read some information in the library."
Catalina nodded, and without hesitation, she cut her forearm and let the blood soak into the six daggers - well, the so-called blood contract magic is 'recognizing the owner by dripping blood'.
After completing this operation, Catalina felt that her coordination with the dagger in her hand had strengthened. Even if she closed her eyes, she could clearly grasp where they were!
"The second type, rapid thunder and lightning."
Without Ji Xing's detailed explanation, Catalina naturally knew how to use it. She looked at the target in the distance, and without hesitation used the blood contract connection to activate this basic elemental magic, and threw the dagger away with her hand.
The dagger disappeared instantly, leaving only a trace of electric arc dancing in the air. The next moment, it penetrated the target made of steel!
"The third type is the breath of destroying demons."
Catalina recognized it and threw the dagger at another target as before.
The flying speed of the dagger was not as fast as before, but the moment it touched the target, flames of destruction erupted from the front. The steel was instantly burned and a few drops of molten iron dripped down, making a sizzling sound, and the dagger also penetrated the target!
If I had this when fighting Camille, I could easily burn through... Katarina, who was in agitated mood, couldn't help but think, then she remembered who the person who made the dagger for herself was, and shook off this impolite
Feeling.
"The fourth type is the wind of freedom."
After a blood magic, there were three elemental magics in a row. It seems that Master Sevier is very good at elemental magic? Katarina thought, and threw the third dagger more and more skillfully.
I saw that the flying speed of this dagger was slower, but Catalina felt that she could control it from the air to speed up, slow down, and even turn!
Not very skillfully, she made the dagger circle in the air and hit the target from behind. It didn't penetrate the target and landed with a clang, but the effect was surprisingly high-quality!
"The fifth type, the latent shadow blade."
This time Catalina was finally stunned for a moment. Under Ji Xing's guidance, she felt the magic, but she didn't know how to use it for a moment. She heard Ji Xing say: "Put a dagger in the place where you usually put it, and then go
Activate this magic."
Catalina did as she was told, and the way she always placed her weapon was by hanging it on her waist.
After she placed the dagger, the dagger began to change color visibly to the naked eye, gradually becoming the same as her healthy skin color, and even faintly transparent.
Eugenie next to her couldn't be sure if there was anything there even if she looked intently!
"Color-changing magic that adapts to the environment?"
"It can be understood that way." Ji Xing said: "It's similar to a chameleon. Since it's an assassin's equipment, maybe it can be used."
That's great. Katarina thought secretly and took a deep breath. Is this a special type of magic? And it's not a basic magic like blood contract! I don't seem to have heard of this kind of magic. Sevier is not born with magical awakening.
Or? How much magic does he have?
"The sixth type is the summoning blade." Ji Xing continued: "Pick up a dagger, sense the three daggers you throw, and try to stimulate it."
...Summoning? Could it be said?!
Catalina's heart was racing, she picked up a dagger and activated the magic.
The next moment, the three daggers thrown out when testing elemental magic appeared in front of her. With quick eyesight and quick hands, she caught them with her other hand. She couldn't help but stare at the three daggers in silence.
It is really a summoning magic. The existence of this magic means that I can cycle through these six daggers in a battle!
At this moment, Catalina felt that she could just throw away her two main weapons. With these six daggers, her combat ability had been improved tenfold!
Oh, and there's even...
"The seventh type, the brain-manipulating blade."
Ji Xing said: "This kind of magic cannot be tested now. Let me tell you about the effect. Insert the dagger into the target's body and use this magic. The target will listen to your instructions for a short time. As for the specific time, it depends on the target.
The strength of your willpower depends on your mental state."
Catalina felt a little panicked.
This... can be called an assassin's magical skill.
Assassins sometimes have to perform not only assassination missions, but also steal certain secrets. If you can get the target to cooperate, it will save a lot of effort!
One blood magic, three elemental magics, one special magic, one summoning magic, plus one... spiritual magic?
The six daggers were so powerful that she felt a little unreal. No wonder Eugenie would call them artifacts! Even if its maximum effect is not as good as those legendary weapons, Langton's Omen, and the Power of Three Phases, it is in the hands of the assassin.
It’s an artifact!
No flaws, absolutely wonderful!
Eugenie looked at this woman who was like a cold-blooded animal and made things difficult for her, falling into a trance, and was extremely satisfied. That's right, hum, I was like this two days ago!
Damn, you’re really being shortchanged!
She looked at Ji Xing and asked hesitantly: "Master Sewell, I have repeatedly drawn the drawings of this dagger in the past two days, but there are two things I can't figure out. Does the summoning blade magic overlap with the blood contract magic? Otherwise it doesn't make sense.
It can produce the effect of spatial movement. There are also mental magics such as the Brain Manipulation Blade. Maybe it’s because I have never been exposed to it, and the circuit feels very strange..."
"That's not spiritual magic, it's necromancy magic. It's in the wrong direction." Ji Xing said with a smile.
"...Huh?" Eugenie stared in shock.
"As for the former, the judgment is correct, but not entirely correct. Each of these seven types of magic has overlapping parts, just like circles that are tightly linked together. Each one passes through the others. Which one is missing?
, are not complete.”
As the magic power changes in his body gradually stabilized over the past two days, Ji Xing already knew what he was about to touch or was touching.
The origin of magic.
Something called a ‘World Rune’!
Rune Continent originally had no life or magic. It was the emergence of runes in each world that gave rise to countless lives and various magics!
All kinds of magic have one origin.
Katarina's six daggers are the confirmation test for his first involvement in the origin, and the staff in his hand is the expansion of his 'original success'!
It is true that there are only levitation spells and spell amplification spells on it, but each of them has been added 32 times by Ji Xing. The flying speed will exceed the speed of sound, and the degree of spell amplification... exceeds 400!
