The sun is high - #78 - Chapter 77 Magic changes
“Well……”
Looking at the dark green mage’s hand floating next to Xiuge, Weilin couldn’t help but shrink back.
Xiuge was concentrating on manipulating his magic at this time, so under his thoughts, the mage’s hand, which was obviously not quite right, slowly floated to the wine bottle on the table, and then he took it out of hand. rise.
It flew up unsteadily, and then tremblingly poured half a glass of wine into the wine glass in front of Weilin.
The whole process seemed very arduous, but in the end it was still completed reluctantly.
However, when he reached the last step, Xiuge was already having some difficulty.
He had stopped cutting the meat on the plate unconsciously. This was his first time using magic that was not part of the Sanctuary system, and it was far more difficult to control a mage’s hand while distracted. Think big.
“Boom!”
The dark green mage’s hand was slightly unbalanced, so the wine bottle held by the hand slammed heavily on the table.
“Miss Wei Lin, please.”
Xiuge breathed a sigh of relief, but just when he was about to control his mage hand to make a gesture like Weilin did before, he was surprised to find that most of the paper label on the bottle of wine was corroded, and The traces of corrosion clearly match the hand of his mage.
Wei Lin had already reached out and picked up the wine glass. After seeing this, she silently put the wine glass back on the table.
She took a serious look at the wine bottle that had been eroded invisibly, and then said: “Eat quickly. After lunch, please Mr. Shuge memorize all the remaining simple magic patterns as soon as possible. After that, , I will guide you to practice all the simple tricks… I want to know, in addition to the hand of the mage, whether there will be any new changes in other magics in your body, Mr. Shuge.”
Xiuge nodded, and then gave the order to remove the mage’s hand that was obviously not right.
As a result, the dark green palm turned into a magical mist that didn’t look right in mid-air.
Just as the thick fog was about to spread near the dining table, a breeze created by magic immediately blew over from across the dining table, blowing the fog toward the wall.
The remaining dark green color touched the wall of the hotel room and immediately made a series of slight muffled sounds.
Xiuge saw that the crystal stones embedded in the wall and used to monitor the magic status in the room flashed slightly, but then returned to normal.
“It seems that Mr. Shuge had better be more cautious when practicing magic next… After all, not every place is like the Adlon Hotel, which can print protective rituals directly into the walls of the room.”
Wei Lin picked up the tableware again: “If it were an ordinary room wall, I’m afraid it would have been damaged just now.”
Xiuge looked at the magic crystals on the wall that seemed to exist as decorations, and nodded in agreement.
He himself had no idea that the strange situation in his spiritual world would also have a corresponding impact on the magic of the non-sanctuary system, and this impact seemed not only to exist in the use of magic, but also to be directly expressed through the magic itself. come out.
Wei Lin’s suggestion is of course necessary.
Xiuge didn’t want anything to go wrong when he practiced the protective rituals next. If a similar situation happened to the magic used to protect himself or provide auxiliary effects, it would very likely cause serious side effects.
Because of this episode, the two people at lunch fell silent again, so soon after the meal was over and the waiter was called to clear the table, Xiuge immediately threw himself into studying again.
After spending nearly an hour, Xiuge finally memorized and recited all the simple magic patterns. After accepting Weilin’s “test”, he immediately started practicing a series of basic tricks.
At this time, the situations that Xiuge had thought about at the dinner table were fully verified at this time.
Among the many protective rituals prepared by Wei Lin in advance, Xiuge performed these tricks one after another, classified according to different effects and schools.
Without exception, these simple magics that could only be used to provide convenience and some auxiliary functions to the mages have all undergone strange changes due to Shuge’s strange magic power.
The first is magic tricks such as magic creation. The purpose of these tricks is to use magic power to temporarily construct special items for temporary use. “Magic Water Creation” and “Magic Creation Bow and Arrow” are typical examples.
Perhaps because it has a tangible carrier, the impact of corrosive magic in this type of magic is extremely clear.
Shuge’s “Magic Water Creation” trick creates a glass of turbid and dark-colored water.
Although it didn’t seem to have any peculiar smell, no matter who saw such a glass of water, they would not be willing to drink it. After verification, Xiuge found that this glass of water did have a certain corrosiveness. It was actually It is more similar to a cup of weak acid, but as time goes by and the magic power dissipates, its corrosiveness will continue to weaken. In about twenty minutes, the green light and shadow in the water will completely disappear, and the water itself will return to clarity.
The trick of “Magic Bow and Arrow” brought some surprises to Xiuge.
In the beginning, this trick was mastered by apprentices and guards with certain magical talents. They were able to combine arrows made by magic with bows and crossbows. After crystal guns and other firearms began to become popular, this trick The nature of magic has also changed, and the bullets used in firearms have also been included in the category of “magic bows and arrows”.
Therefore, this is also a trick that all military mages must master.
After Xiuge constructed several bullets based on his own memory, he discovered that these bullets seemed to have inherited the strange poison. At least one bullet wrapped in green light and shadow could always bring greater pressure to people.
The second thing affected are the harmful tricks that are regarded as self-defense by magic apprentices, such as “Frost Glimmer”, “Forked Electric Shock”, etc. On the magic targets created by Wei Lin, these harmful tricks While the magic spell causes basic damage, it will also cause more collateral damage. This performance surprised Wei Lin, because she had never seen lightning that could corrode the surface of an object.
What is basically unaffected are those magics used to provide convenience and auxiliary functions.
They did not show any obvious changes in Shuge’s hands. Although the light and shadow created by tricks like “Avoking Light” would be darker, they would not have any impact on the surrounding environment.
Being exposed to such a large number of tricks in a short period of time made Xiuge, a beginner, feel extremely strenuous. When the last round of “inspection” of the tricks ended, it was already approaching evening.
At this time, a magic study note compiled by “teacher” Weilin had also been photographed in front of Xiuge.
“As far as my personal experience is concerned, the learning of magic can actually best reflect a spellcaster’s sensitivity to magic and ability to understand magic itself. In this regard, Mr. Shuge, you are very good. I am now very I wonder how you managed to be expelled from the academy as an apprentice in the past.”
Wei Lin gently tapped the paper on the table with her magic ink pen: “However, given that your magic situation is too special, I think you should give more priority to practicing auxiliary magic. After all, I remember, Mr. Sugar, you’ The magic that was forced to be “engraved” seems to be mainly about causing damage.”
She pointedly said: “A sharp sword can’t just have the blade, the other parts are equally important.”
“It sounds like Miss Wei Lin is worried about my magic power?”
Shuge asked doubtfully: “So, if my energy and magic power can be guaranteed, can I practice more daily tricks of other types?”
“I don’t advise you to do this.”
Wei Lin became serious: “Mr. Shuge, your magic power shows too strong characteristics in this kind of tricks. It is inappropriate to practice too much before you yourself understand why they are like this. “
“When a type of behavior is repeated many times, it is extremely easy to form a habit. Once this obviously abnormal and unknown magic power is too deeply involved in your daily use of magic, it may cause new changes. , and only you can bear the risks involved.”
Hearing Wei Lin say this, Xiuge nodded seriously.
As a “professional”, Wei Lin’s judgment does make sense. Xiuge knows very well that among the powers he “exchanged” from the shelter, the one that has always maintained a sense of mystery is the dark green… crystallization.
Although it has not had any negative effects on Xiuge so far, since the incident in Salem City, Xiuge has become increasingly vigilant and wary of such unknown uncontrollable factors. Based on this With a cautious attitude of strength, Shuge decided to follow the advice given by Wei Lin.
“However, in fact, unless I completely abandon the shelter and all the benefits brought by the metal disc, and use only the most basic magic power to become a spellcaster from scratch…otherwise, I will never be able to get rid of its influence. “
Xiuge said silently in his heart, and casually reached out and picked up the detailed notes placed on the table.
According to Wei Lin, it was only her first time to be someone else’s teacher. However, in fact, she was extremely diligent in this aspect. Judging from the dense notes on this paper and the comments on Shuge’s previous tricks, You can see her attitude.
“Thank you very much, Miss Vereen.”
“I believe you should always treat a friend with care.”
When saying these words, Wei Lin did not look at Xiuge. She just raised her finger and dismissed the human-shaped magic target erected in the living room, and then put away the books on the table: “What’s more, we are here Before we become friends, there is still the relationship of collaborators as the basis…but don’t forget our current situation. Before we achieve the next stage of our goals, I’m afraid there is no way for this relationship to end easily.”
Shuge nodded slightly.
He calmed down a little and helped his teacher put away some textbooks. At this time, he discovered that there was a brand new newspaper on the cabinet beside him.
“This is?”
“It was delivered in the morning, but I don’t have the habit of reading newspapers.”
So Xiuge stepped forward and took the newspaper in his hand.
Since coming to Vanen, Shuge has maintained the habit of reading newspapers. In his opinion, this is the most accessible channel for obtaining information at this stage, although in any world and in any era, the availability of information Authenticity has a standard that can be manipulated and kneaded, but in any case, it is extremely necessary to understand the latest situation and conduct analysis.
The newspaper comes from the largest and most authoritative publishing house in Bolden.
“Boulden Royal Press.”
A very simple and crude name, with no redundant adjectives, and the names of investors and collaborators are not printed under the title. After all, for the Kingdom of Walter, this publishing house and the books and newspapers it publishes are Same with the royal family.
And on the first page of today’s “Bolden Daily News”, Shuge saw an extremely shocking picture.
Wei Lin packed up the things in her hands. After all, she was still a little curious, so she stretched her head and took a look.
She was also stunned.
It was a magical photo taken from the ground to the air.
In the sky, there is a whole row of black dots advancing rapidly from the right side of the picture to the left side. They leave distinct traces one after another in the sky and run straight towards their goals.
In the next magic photo, the true identity of these black spots and their destination are revealed.
That’s Salem City.
To be precise, it was the city of Salem that was being bombarded.
Those that cut through the sky and left straight lines were the cannonballs fired from some kind of giant crystal cannon.
The scene of the bombardment of Salem City was only taken for a few seconds. In the photo, Shuge could only see that in the city that was once named peace, flames were lingering and black smoke was rising.
“At 5:23 a.m. on the 10th of Xuelin, the Kingdom of Inderland and the independent government of Salem City showed a negative attitude toward our ultimatum… The Fourth Artillery Regiment launched a warning bombardment of Salem City, with a total of 8 mu The Q-3 steam crystallization cannon launched three rounds of shelling on Salem City.”
“In response to the ongoing large-scale mobilization in the Kingdom of Deland, the mobilization work of the Kingdom of Hain and the Kingdom of St. Steele has also been fully launched…”
“Princess Sophia Augustine, as the military representative of the Kingdom of Votel and the candidate for the crown prince, will hold a number of meetings and important press conferences at the Adlon Hotel in Bolden on the afternoon of the 10th and the morning of the 11th… …”
