In Rhode's impression, he once arrived at a mahogany watchtower in Eli.
Rhodes recalled that the interior space of the mahogany watchtower at that time was extremely small. Except for the spiral staircase and the windows on the tower wall for light transmission, there was no decoration at all.
Even the top area of the watchtower only has a small platform on which Rhodes can stand and observe the things around him. However, in this environment, Rhodes experienced
A fierce battle.
When at the top of the watchtower, Rhodes' special skill Eagle Eye can be greatly enhanced in this special environment and can be used to observe the surrounding terrain and other special creatures. If Rhodes masters the special skills related to cartographers, such as pathfinding and logistics, he can even draw a map of the surrounding terrain from the top of the watchtower. This special map, whether using
It has a certain value within the business group of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, or for use in battles.
Before magic became popular and even the perspective of the earth was not developed by mages, maps of certain areas drawn by senior cartographers could be said to be priceless, and their strategic value far exceeded anything else. When Brakada, the country of mages, became stronger, this situation began to change. Spells also began to be used by mages for a variety of things, not just limited to combat. Among these spells, the most
A special and at the same time the most strategically valuable spell, it belongs to the third-level clairvoyant earth.
Relying on the existence of the spell "See Through the Earth", mages can easily obtain all the terrain in an area from a bird's-eye view, as well as special things existing on the surface.
In the hands of a legendary mage who specializes in this spell, seeing through the earth naturally has a more powerful effect. All creatures on the surface of an area will be sensed by the legendary mage and cannot be hidden in any way.
Under such circumstances, the value and effects of maps drawn by cartographers are undoubtedly greatly weakened. Especially in some special circumstances, using the magic of perspective earth can not only obtain
In addition to knowing the surrounding terrain, you can also get a lot of other information.
No matter how detailed the map in the hands of the cartographer is, it is not as fast as the clairvoyance spell cast by a formal mage. The manpower and material resources required to obtain a detailed map are also greatly reduced. The emergence of the clairvoyance spell has seriously
Hindered the development of draftsmen.
In Rhode's impression, there are not many truly famous cartographers in the surface world. Even the few remaining ones also have the official rank of mage and have mastered the magic of seeing through the earth. p>
It can be said that the emergence of the clairvoyance spell has completely changed the profession of cartographer. After the popularity of clairvoyance, cartographers in the past either chose to switch to other types of professions, or they could only change their past
Drawing method.
Based on this, cartographers can only give up on drawing the vast terrain and focus on other things, such as the complex and ever-changing mine tunnels in the mines, or the layers inside the underground world.
The deep passage leading to where.
It is precisely because of this that in Rhode's impression, those truly famous draftsmen all exist in the underground world where magicians live. Among these draftsmen, there are also legendary level existences.
In the entire underground world, everyone has enough say.
As a see-through earth with great strategic use in the surface world, Rhodes has already mastered this spell. However, Rhodes did not completely rely on the convenience brought by this spell. When confirming the surrounding environment, Rhodes
Perspective earth is often used in conjunction with maps.
In Rhode's impression, any well-known undead city in Diya would be covered with extremely dense and opaque black clouds. This kind of black cloud is what the undead mage calls the dark sky. The shroud of darkness brings an extremely gloomy atmosphere to the City of the Undead. The necromancers who exist in it naturally don't mind this and even enjoy this unique environment.
Even the city of death where Rhodes is currently located is also shrouded in darkness. According to the information that Rhodes knows, the reason why the darkness of the sky is researched by necromancers is recognized by many necromancers in Dia.
, it was not for this unique environment at the beginning, but to resist the spell of seeing through the earth.
Under the cover of the dark sky, even the clairvoyant atmosphere used by the legendary mage cannot penetrate the black clouds in the sky and obtain the true situation under the black clouds. The clairvoyant earth used by the legendary mage can only obtain a large area of the sky.
An area shrouded in darkness.
Relying on the unique effect of the dark sky, no useful information can be obtained in any major area in Diya by relying on the magic of seeing through the earth.
In Diya, this is especially true for the areas where lichs exist. In those special areas, there are even stricter defense measures than the dark sky.
The effect of the dark sky has naturally been recognized by other necromancers. The main undead cities in Diya are all shrouded in black clouds.
As a dark canopy with such an effect, over countless years, many necromancers have naturally tried to improve it in order to obtain more powerful effects.
In Rhode's impression, a treasure he once obtained had such an effect that it could create black clouds very similar to the dark sky according to his needs.
Compared with the dark sky that exists in the City of the Undead, Rhodes with this treasure is naturally more convenient in creating black clouds, and can use the effect of this treasure at any time according to his own needs.
The system's prompt for this treasure also mentioned that it was the improvement of the Dark Sky Curtain by the alchemist master that led to this special treasure. However, in front of the opponent Rhodes is currently facing, this treasure is very difficult.
It is difficult to achieve any effect.
In Rhode's impression, there may not be many things that can achieve the effect of a dark sky and avoid the exploration of the see-through earth.
The only thing Rhodes could confirm that had this effect was the magic-forbidden ball in Tanan's hand. As an independent artifact, the magic-forbidden ball has a powerful effect that is enough to evade any detection spells, including perspective.
