"Do you want to learn these spells?" the young mage asked Claude, pointing to the magic scrolls on the table.
"I think..." Claude nodded honestly.
"Humph! I won't teach you..." The young mage wrinkled her pretty nose and made a face at Claude. This time she was still angry with Claude for suddenly hugging and kissing her just now, and she remembered that passionate kiss.
and the tongue that stuck into her mouth, she felt her face getting hot again.
"Okay, you have the final say." Claude smiled wryly and nodded again. He is now more than willing and weak. The few spells he really wants to learn are all first-level spells. Even if the girl mage asks him to learn them, there is nothing he can do.
To use it, the most you can do is memorize the magic array structure of these first-level spells. After you are promoted to a second-level rune mage, you can imprint them on the hexagram in the mental space as your own second-level basic spells.
In fact, of the nineteen magic scrolls that Sheila's mother left for the young mage, what Claude really valued were the four first-level spells, energy shield, eagle eye water mirror, stealth and soaring.
.As for the two spells of turning fossils into mud and turning mud into stone, he already has them. It is recorded in Master Landers's diary. There is no need to learn them from the young mage.
Six zero-level spells, including spiritual enlightenment and vine entanglement, have been learned to exchange spells with Sheila. There is no need to learn the eagle eye spell. I have the eye of detection, which is not much worse than the eagle eye spell. There is no need for the wild bee surround spell.
If you learn it, you won't be able to carry a swarm of wild bees with you during your military career. It doesn't matter if you learn the cultivation technique, you won't be able to use it if you learn it. If you can learn it, it can be used in conjunction with the tree rejuvenation technique.
There is also a fireball spell, which is the only attack spell among the six zero-level spells. It is also the signature spell of the magician in Claude's impression. As the young mage said, her mother rubbed a few small fireballs and it was
They blasted several big bad wolves down the mountain that wanted to attack them. The posture was so cool and unrestrained. But Claude carefully read the instructions behind the fireball spell and found that the attack distance of this spell was actually no farther than the magic flying arrow he knew.
How many.
Perhaps the magical power of this fireball spell also depends on the caster's mage level. The girl mage's mother was already a fourth-level natural mage at that time, so the power of the fireball spell she cast was naturally extraordinary. But Claude was a first-level magician.
Mage, he doubted that even if he learned the fireball technique, the magic power would not be much stronger than the magic flying arrow.
The characteristic of fireball is that it explodes, like a grenade, making a loud explosion sound. The magic arrow is like a pistol, concealed and deadly. In terms of magic power consumption, casting a fireball consumes ten of your own magic power.
If so, then the magic power to cast the magic flying arrows is only three. In other words, the magic power to cast three magic flying arrows can only be used to cast the fireball spell once.
Therefore, Claude has a take-it-or-leave-it attitude towards learning Fireball. He has no interest in other second-level, third-level and fourth-level spells. Stone Giant Summoning is a fourth-level spell, which requires promotion to a fifth-level rune.
Only mages can learn, which is still a very long way for Claude. He himself estimates that it will take at least ten or twenty years before that is possible.
Third-level spells, that awesome spell replacement must be learned. However, like the stone giant summoning, it also requires time to accumulate, so let’s put it aside for now. There is also a tree man guard who is a third-level spell, and that
The three second-level group attack spells, the Flame Magic Wall, and the maze forest were like flowing water, but Claude didn't have much interest in them.
Because Claude feels that these spells are a bit too old, perhaps they can be said to be infinitely powerful in the era before the invention of muskets. But now, as long as a small group of town garrison soldiers can chase two or three fifth-ring mages to a flying halt.
The reason is very simple. As long as the casting distance of the spell and the range of the magic effect are not as far as the range of the musket, the magician's life safety will always be under the threat of the musket.
Take Claude's combat spell magic arrow as an example. He is now a first-level rune mage. The best distance for casting magic arrows is within ten meters, and the furthest distance will not exceed fifteen meters. Even if he becomes a magic arrow in the future
The power of the five-ring rune mage's magic arrows is greatly increased, but the furthest distance is no more than fifty meters. Compared with the range of today's precise aiming and shooting muskets, it is still in a passive position. Of course, the advantages
It's quite a lot, at least it's easier to load than a musket. As long as you avoid the first round of musket fire at close range, you're invincible. But as long as the musketeers distance themselves, the Fifth Ring Mage will immediately have to consider running away.
It takes decades to go from a magic apprentice to a five-ring mage. But it only takes three months to train a musketeer. And there will always be a very small number of people who have magic talents and can become magicians.
It is also the true history of more than 600 years ago when the people of the whole continent took up muskets and launched an uprising against the brutal rule of the magicians, and finally drove the magicians out of the continent of Farea. The simplest thing is the casualty exchange ratio, even for a hundred musketeers
Only casualties can lead to the demise of a magician, and magicians are doomed to fail.
Claude turned his thoughts from thinking about magic to muskets and history, and fell into deep thought for a moment. This made the young mage who was standing aside a little uneasy. She came over and tugged on Claude's clothes: "
What's wrong with you? Are you angry..."
Claude came back to his senses and refused to eat the meat that was delivered to him. He hugged the young mage and gave her another painful kiss. Then he replied in the face of the young mage's shy anger: "How could I be angry with you?
It’s too late to like you. In fact, the spells I want to learn are all first-level. Even if you ask me to learn them now, I can’t learn them. I don’t know how long it will take to be promoted to a second-level rune mage. Anyway, by then I will
If you want to learn, come and ask for your permission..."
"Well, then you have to work hard and become a second-level mage as soon as possible." The young mage rested her head on Claude's shoulder. She also enjoyed Claude's hug: "Then, don't you want to learn that fireball technique?
"
Claude shook his head: "I have another attack magic, magic flying arrow, you know? Compared with fireball, magic flying arrow is more suitable for me. Because I am in the army now, in case I need to use magic, magic flying arrow
The arrow's wound is more like a wound caused by a musket. It is easier to conceal my identity as a magician. The fireball technique is not easy to hide. As long as it explodes, everyone can hear it, which makes people suspicious..."
The young mage then remembered that Claude was also a soldier, and couldn't help it. After all, their situations were different. She had lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests with her mother since she was a child, while Claude joined the army for the sake of his family.
The battlefield. If there hadn't been this war that swept across the entire eastern part of the continent, then she and Claude might never have met, and she might have died silently because of the injury caused by the black bear attack that night and excessive blood loss.
In the Witch's Wood.
The young mage's mood suddenly dropped, and tears began to accumulate in her big eyes: "Then, how long can you stay here..."
Claude lowered his head and kissed her face gently: "It's okay. This is mainly to see if the superiors will issue a military order to ask us to leave. I estimate it will take several months. After the rainy season, the Blue Feather Army
and two second-line armies to block the anti-Austrian coalition forces of the Principality of Rimodra from counterattacking the three southern counties. All attention is on the front line, and for a while, no more reserve troops can be mobilized from the rear. We, the wandering soldiers,
There is nothing we can do about splitting up the first battalion to guard the checkpoints and intersections in the three southern counties. Just like the three-way intersection that I am responsible for guarding, it is very important. The higher-ups will not transfer me soon..."
The young mage didn't speak, she just hugged Claude tightly, put her face against his chest and began to cry.
"Don't cry, baby, even if we are separated temporarily, I will definitely come to you when the war is over, and I will take you home then, okay?" Claude asked softly, stroking the young mage's hair.
The young mage stiffened, but quickly shook her head: "No, I have to wait for my mother here. My mother told me before she left that if she doesn't come back, I must wait for her here for at least ten years.
I have to become a fourth-ring natural mage to leave here to find her. Because only by becoming a fourth-ring natural mage can I have the power to protect myself and the ability to save her..."
What do you mean? Could it be that the mother of the young mage knew before she left that she might not be able to come back? If so, why didn’t she arrange the life of the young mage well? This sounds too contradictory, right?
Seeing Claude's puzzled expression, the young mage explained: "My mother is going to dig a magical ruins with her friends. If everything goes well, she will be back in about half a year. But before she left, my mother was afraid that something unexpected might happen, because of that magic
The ruins are likely to contain remaining forbidden spells or magic talisman formations. If you are accidentally trapped inside, it will take time to break it out. My mother said that it is not difficult to save your life, but it will take a long time to get out of the trap.
This is an attempt to crack the code, so let me wait here for her to not go out..."
Claude understood that maybe this was just an excuse made by her mother to prevent the young mage from going out to find her, but the young mage would not leave this place easily within ten years. All he could do was hold her tightly in his arms.
girl, her heart is filled with love and compassion for her.
"It doesn't matter, then if the war is over and I have a vacation, I will definitely come back to accompany you and wait here for your mother to come back..."
The topic was too serious and the atmosphere was too dull to be suitable for flirting. Claude took out a linen handkerchief from his pocket, wiped away the tears on the young mage's face, and coaxed: "Stop crying, you won't be beautiful if you cry again, no."
If you are beautiful, I don't like you.
The young mage gently hit Claude on the chest, breaking into tears and smiling: "How dare you..."
"Okay, stop crying, I will definitely come back to accompany you." Claude decided to change the topic: "By the way, Sheila, you don't have to worry about not having spell engravings now, right? Let me tell you, you have already engraved a few
Basic spells?”
"Well, I originally had beast mimicry, vine entanglement, poisonous smoke trap, spiritual enlightenment and tree rejuvenation. Then I got six spells from you. I only engraved the magic hand for precise control.
There is also the Pearl of Light. I have not imprinted the Ignition, Water Gathering and Exploration Techniques. Because the Ignition Technique is similar to the Fireball Technique, I originally wanted to test out the Fireball Technique and then imprint it on it. I feel that the Water Gathering Technique and the Exploration Technique are still useful for the time being.
If it’s not used, I won’t engrave it yet.”
The young mage counted the spells she had imprinted on her fingers. She was a second-level natural mage and could imprint fourteen basic spells.
"So you can still imprint six basic spells now?" Claude frowned and thought: "I have to help you think about it, don't waste these six basic spell slots. Well, don't imprint that detection spell.
, I have a better Eye of Detection for you, which is a special detection spell for our Rune Mage, similar to the Eagle Eye spell left by your mother."
Claude looked at the magic scrolls on the table: "Your mother left you six first-level spells. Among them, you must learn the three spells of energy shield, stealth and soaring.
Adding the Eye of Exploration, there are only two spell slots left. I have two combat spells here, one is the magic flying arrow, and the other is the first-level lightning shackles. This is my pharmacy teacher Mary Yaf
It was left to me. However, I am still a first-level rune mage and cannot use this spell. But I remember the magic rune structure of this lightning shackles. I can draw a pattern for you. Let’s see which two combat spells you choose to compare.
good?"
The young mage pouted and acted coquettishly: "I don't like the stealth spell. It sounds like a thief, sneaky... How about removing this spell and replacing it with an offensive spell? Then I will have three
A combat spell."
"No, this spell is very important. You must imprint this spell as a basic spell." Claude shook his head and rejected the young mage's suggestion: "This stealth spell does not allow you to become a thief, but allows you to become a thief."
It's for life-saving purposes. I'm worried that you may run into trouble living here alone in the future. If you encounter an invincible opponent, you can use this stealth spell to avoid it secretly without having to fight to the death with the enemy.
Well, you choose fireball and my lightning shackles. These two spells can at least protect you without worries. I also have a few other spells for you. The ice condensation spell allows you to do it in the hot summer.
Drink cold drinks, the underwater breathing technique can make you stay underwater for ten times, the feather falling technique can make you fall like a feather from a high place within two minutes, and there is also a breeze summoning technique, which can summon a breeze to surround you in summer.
Be here to bring you coolness..."
Claude sighed with regret: "Actually, I also have a freezing technique, which should be an advanced version of the ice condensation technique. Unfortunately, because it is a first-level spell, I didn't write down its magic array structure. This can be done later.
Here you go. As for the magic flying arrow combat spell, I will also draw it for you. If you have a blank magic scroll here, you can draw it on it and take it with you, which can also reduce the magic power consumption by half and use it at any time."
The young mage leaned into Claude's arms and murmured sadly: "There is no need for a blank magic scroll. My mother left me a blank magic book in this library, which was carried by the gray wolf with blood.
Made of leather. My mother said this was a gift for me to be officially promoted to a first-level natural mage. But my mother was not there that day, and the cave was occupied by a big black bear. I couldn't get in. Only now can I come and get my mother.
