Chapter 101 The ranger officially joins the team
Although the king said so, no one took action.
Elizabeth said expectantly: "It seems you can only do it by yourself."
Wang: "I was wrong. You can drink it yourself."
"I don't!" Elizabeth said firmly, "If you want to do an experiment, you have to feed me."
The mage looked at everyone and shrugged: "Okay. Give me the cup, Marika, you will be responsible for adding water."
Soon a cup of thick soup appeared in the king's hand. He took out the spoon, held the cup close to Elizabeth, gently lifted her chin with his hand, and brought the cup close to her mouth.
The king was a little anxious when feeding her, and as a result, some soup flowed down the corner of Elizabeth's mouth and dripped on her body.
Xiaobai: "Don't waste food. Can I lick it off?"
The king made a casual gesture. At this time, the soup in the cup had been finished by the princess, so he moved the cup in front of Marika again. The drow looked helpless, but still scooped new water into the cup.
.
Xiaobai held Elizabeth's thighs with both hands and licked the soup from her body.
"Huh? This time it's not venison soup. Will the type of soup change? This time it seems to be beef soup!"
Wang: "Is this spoon so awesome? Can the flavor be changed? If not, I have to try it."
At this time, the water Marika had just poured in had turned into a new soup. Wang took a big sip: "This time it has turned into fish soup, so fresh!"
Xiaobai ran away in a swish. It seemed that she really hated starch and fish.
The mage put the soup he had tasted in front of Elizabeth: "Come on, continue. Drink until your stomach becomes bloated."
The second time, both of them were experienced, and the soup didn't even spill out.
In the next few minutes, Wang fed Elizabeth eight cups of soup, causing Elizabeth's belly to bulge visibly.
Wang also pressed it with his hand: "Well, very good, it is indeed full. You can't eat anything else before night. If you are hungry, drink soup. This spoon will be put here for you first. You have to report to me in the evening.
How often you drink soup, and whether you have symptoms such as dizziness."
Marika asked suspiciously: "Is this really necessary to test? We will definitely bring dry food, so we won't have to rely on soup to survive."
Xiaobai: "I can still go hunting. Long-ear can also hunt. There will be no shortage of food during the journey."
Wang: "Be prepared. Well, actually, I just want to study this spoon. I like to explore the unknown, whether it is a cave left by a partnership between a lich and a dwarf, or a simple spoon."
Elizabeth: "I'm also willing to help you with your research."
Wang: "You are so kind!"
Elizabeth couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her face turned slightly red.
The mage noticed this and asked doubtfully: "Why is your face so red?"
Elizabeth: "I...I'm radiant!"
Wang frowned slightly: "Don't be too excited, take the time to rest."
The drow put down the water glass and said: "I will be responsible for guarding. You all can go to sleep. I will go back to sleep when you get up."
Nini: "I can also be vigilant. In fact, during the day when there is normal light, my vigilance efficiency is relatively high."
Wang: "Then you will each be on guard for four hours. Nini will watch the first half, and Marika will watch the second half."
After making arrangements, Wang climbed into his bed and fell into a deep sleep not long after lying down.
Elizabeth said with envy: "He always sleeps quickly and deeply, as if he has no worries at all and will not suffer from insomnia at all."
Marika: "Whenever he is so worried that he can't sleep, then the world may be in doom."
After saying that, she looked at her elf cousin: "Since the captain has given the order, I will rest first. No need to call me, I have enough rest for four hours a day. I will wake up on my own."
Drow and elves only need to rest for about four hours a day, which is a racial advantage just like their lifespan. Moreover, they can even rest while riding horses. If there are elves in the team, the night vigil will be taken care of by the elves.
Forest elves do not have dark vision like drow, but at night with moonlight and starlight, their vision is no worse than drow.
Nini: "Okay."
After saying that, she picked up the bow and arrow, pulled up a chair and sat on the edge of the mage's bed, looking around warily.
Elizabeth hesitated to speak, but finally chose to lie down - but not long after she lay down, she jumped up.
"I'm going to pick flowers!" she said.
**
The king was awakened by a loud grunting sound.
He got up and looked at the source of the sound, and found that it was Elizabeth. The princess was sleeping soundly, but her stomach kept making hungry sounds.
Wang was about to ask Marika, who was on duty, when he heard Elizabeth talking in her sleep: "No, we can't cook Xiaobai. Why don't you cut the meat from me, I'm fatter."
Wang: "Sounds like a dream about famine."
Marika: "Although your experiment is not over yet, I think there is no need to continue. The soup is probably just water with hallucination added."
Wang: "It seems so. Wait until she gets up later to see if she faints. If she does, it's almost certain."
As he spoke, he looked out the window, calculated the current time based on the angle of the sun, and then sat up: "I'm almost asleep. The rest will wait until night."
As he spoke, he took out the magic book left by the lich from his dimensional bag, licked his fingers and opened the first page.
Wang: "The first one is the nine rings. No wonder the lich said that the mages in the team will be ecstatic. This spell book won't be all nine rings magic, right?"
Marika: "In that case, this book is valuable. You took a seven-ring dragon form in exchange for the resurrection scroll collected by the Duke."
The resurrection scroll itself may not be that valuable, but the purpose of this scroll makes it basically priceless.
If the scroll had not been able to resurrect people who died of natural causes, the value of this scroll would have increased several times.
Wang quickly read through the entire contents of the magic book, and then threw it aside in disappointment: "Sure enough, there are no spells that I haven't seen before. This lich is obviously not obsessed with creating new spells, or it is not of high enough quality to create it.
New spell."
At this time, Nini also stood up and was surprised when she heard Wang's words: "You actually said that a nine-ring lich is not high enough?"
Marika: "Do you know who his teacher is?"
After saying this, Zhuoer immediately asked himself questions and gave the name of Wang's teacher.
Nini was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "Are you actually that person's beloved disciple? He is the current Elf King's publicly acknowledged best friend!"
Wang muttered: "Damn it, the old guy did it again!"
Nini: "Pretend?"
Wang: "I mean, uh, proudly displaying the glory of the past."
He paused and changed his tone: "By the way, we agreed before that we would only go together this time to solve the caveman's trouble. Now that the trouble has been solved, you can continue your journey. This trip
You know exactly what the harvest is, and you can pick the one you want."
Nini thought for a few seconds and shook her head: "No, I don't have anywhere I want to go. It seems that staying here to solve the apocalyptic crisis together can also hone your skills."
Wang: "Of course you can hone your skills. You performed so well this time. Whether it was physically dodging the arrows fired by the trap mechanism or saving the dwarf in the final escape stage, you showed your amazing abilities. You must have been on the adventure as well.
I have fully trained myself.”
Nini: "These are very common things. My master would have behaved better. My master has superb double-sword skills, but I am terrible at swordsmanship. Facing low-level spells such as protective arrows will give me a headache."
, can only exceed the upper limit of spell protection by repeatedly attacking.
"If it were my master, he would have already drawn out his two swords and started killing everyone."
Wang: "Why don't you practice double swords?"
"Because after teaching me for a round, my master thought that I didn't have the talent to use dual weapons, so it would be futile to continue learning. In fact, my dual sword skills are really very bad." Nini sighed.
Wang: "That's right. If you're not good at this thing, you really can't force it. For example, I can't use the spells of the control system, and I can't even use the very simple trapping of humans. By the way, you haven't tried it.
Have you ever used arcane magic?"
The elves have unusual talents in art and magic, but the elves are extremely famous for their archery skills, which overshadows the glory of their magic skills.
In fact, more elves become mages than rangers, but perhaps because their lifespans are too long, elf mages often seem a little less passionate than human mages.
Elf mages are often obsessed with details. They are keen to maximize the effects of certain spells they particularly like, and they do not hesitate to use a large number of metamagic techniques.
Human mages are more adventurous and ambitious, keen on exploring unknown knowledge and creating new spells.
Human mages will also try their best to extend their lifespan, which is what the long-lived elves lack.
Elf mages rarely turn themselves into lichs, because their original lives are already too long. Compared with the benefits gained from becoming lichs, they care more about the various emotions they need to give up after becoming lichs.
No matter what, as an elf, it is impossible not to be completely interested in magic skills.
Often elven rangers are also wizards.
That's why the king asked this question.
Nini shook her head: "I have tried. In fact, I have always been interested in arcane magic. But I have not been favored by arcane magic. My father has found many teachers for me, but none of them can make me become an arcane spell caster.
path.”
Wang touched his chin: "This is very strange. There is no so-called favor for arcane magic. Some plane mages use a thing called the magic net to cast spells. The strength of the mage depends on the ability to communicate with the magic net.
.
"But that's just that plane. My teacher has also studied the magic network and thinks it may be a convenient spell-casting tool left behind by the advanced magic civilization that once existed in that plane.
"He once wanted to find the so-called goddess of magic in that world, but failed to find it. He speculated that the so-called goddess of magic might just be an intelligent entity that manages this convenient spell-casting tool.
"The planeswalkers across the multiverse do not rely on the magic network to cast spells, but rely on knowledge. The so-called mana is actually just the product of a quantitative analysis of the mages' understanding of knowledge. It is artificially set like degrees Celsius."
Nini raised her hand: "Wait a minute! I can't understand it anymore. What is quantitative analysis?"
"This is like this. Let me give you an example and you will understand." Wang then explained to Nini what quantitative analysis is, using degrees Celsius as an example.
Nini nodded thoughtfully: "So... in short, you have defined mana, which is used to measure a mage's understanding of the world."
Wang: "Yes, just mastering knowledge is not enough. In my teacher's words, it is called thorough understanding. Once you understand it to a certain extent, you will have the 'mana' to cast the next level of spells. In fact, it is a kind of numerical quantification.
qualifications.
"I am a typical person who only mastered the knowledge but did not understand it thoroughly. I am the teacher's chief disciple. I am not inferior to anyone in terms of knowledge, but I only have the ability to cast spells in the third ring. After consultation with the professors in the tower, the teacher thought that the solution was
The best way is to send me out on a study tour."
Nini: "So when do you need to travel to learn how to improve your spell casting ability?"
Wang: "I don't know. Because I don't know what it means to fully understand knowledge, and I think you can only fully understand knowledge by doing experiments in the tower.
"It's impossible that during our adventure in the Fetal Movement Hall today, I suddenly gained some new insights, and my understanding of past knowledge has been greatly improved, right?"
At this time, the dwarf also got up, and he looked towards the king: "How is it impossible? Look at Kailin suddenly opening up the four-ring magic to me. Maybe after that adventure, the God of Knowledge will also open up to you.
one side."
Wang: "First of all, you can't personify knowledge, which will lead to cognitive bias. Secondly, I don't have any sense of enlightenment. If you don't believe it, I will start preparing magic now and try to prepare a fourth-ring spell."
Dwarf: "You give it a try. It just so happens that I have to prepare a magic spell. When I finish the preparation, I will use the fourth-ring restoration spell to heal the feathers on the elf's hand."
Nini looked down at the dazzling feather on her hand and said softly: "Thank you."
Wang Ze put away the magic book given by the Lich and took out his own spare magic book: "I happen to have a four-ring Phantom Killer spell in this book. I'll see if I can prepare it."
Nini: "Phantom Killer is that, the spell that can scare the target to death?"
"Yes, it's the spell that can scare the target to death. I have to prepare a spell, so don't disturb me."
"Feel sorry."
The mage concentrated on preparing today's spell.
The dwarf also took up his posture and began to pray.
Seeing this, Nini decided to start meditating too - the ranger's magic also needed to be prepared in advance. She planned to copy yesterday's magic.
Marika watched the three spell casters begin to prepare spells, then stood up and changed to a position more suitable for protecting everyone. When the spell casters were preparing spells, it was the best opportunity for a sneak attack.
After 40 minutes, the mage was the first to complete preparations.
"No chance." He said, "I can't prepare fourth-level spells at all. This perfect dungeon adventure didn't make me understand the world better."
No one paid attention to him, the other two spellcasters were still preparing spells.
Wang sighed.
At this time, the dwarf also finished preparing today's magic. He approached Nini while reciting prayers, and then touched the feathers on Nini's arm with his radiant hand.
The feather disappeared, as if it had never existed. The lich was not lying. This level of contamination can be repaired with restoration.
The elf also opened her eyes, and she glanced at the mage.
Nini: "Are you still a third-level spell caster?"
Wang nodded: "Yes, it's still three rings, no progress at all."
The dwarf suddenly said: "By the way, there is a saying among us dwarf craftsmen. It is said that accepting an apprentice and teaching him to make equipment is also a way to improve the master's skills. Because in the process of teaching others, you have mastered various techniques.
The understanding has also deepened.”
The dwarf looked at Nini: "It just so happens that the elf can't cast spells at all. According to the theory in your tower, she just doesn't understand the world enough. If you let her understand the world and gain the ability to cast spells, your own understanding of the world will also improve.
Bar?"
Wang seemed to have discovered a new world: "My teacher also said something similar. Teaching students was also a part of his own improvement. At that time, we thought he was bragging. After all, he likes to brag the most, just like his uncle likes to smoke, drink and perm his hair.
Same."
The mage turned to the elf and asked excitedly: "Do you want to give it a try and become my apprentice?"
Nini: "Apprentice's apprentice?"
Wang: "What's the point? Just look at the amount of knowledge you have. I'm no worse than any great mage. I can really teach you knowledge."
Elizabeth also woke up at this time, and she shouted: "I want to be your apprentice too!"
King: "You are a warlock. Just wait for your bloodline to send you spells. Go and go."
"you!"
Nini was still hesitating: "Can I... also cast arcane magic? I am someone who was firmly told by the great mage of the elves that I have no talent for arcane magic."
Wang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. In our mage tower, in addition to professors and students, there are also handymen brought back from various planes. There is a boy who is a handyman and has always wanted to become a mage.
"But he is too dull. It takes him a long time to remember the knowledge that others can remember at once. My teacher once thought that it was impossible for him to become a mage, but he was still stubborn and worked hard.
"His motto is: I want to be a mage, even if it's the worst one, as long as it's a mage, that's enough."
Nini asked with concern: "What then?"
Wang: "Then he became one of the authorities in the evocation system in the tower, a nine-ring spellcaster who destroyed the world. However, he basically only knew the evocation spells, and he knew nothing about other spells that required a wider range of knowledge. But in evocation,
In terms of energy, he is indeed at the pinnacle. Even my teacher feels that he is not as good as him.
"How about it, after listening to this story, do you want to give it a try?"
Nini thought for a while and replied: "You can start by teaching me knowledge. When I can cast a spell, it will not be too late to come and become a disciple."
Wang: "Okay. Anyway, you are a ranger in our team. I will have plenty of time to teach you knowledge in the future."
Elizabeth looked back and forth between the mage and the elf, and said: "Then I also want to learn knowledge. Although I don't rely on this to cast spells, but... can't I be easy to learn?"
Wang: "You can listen when I give Nini a lecture."
