Mage Joan

Qiao An just took a collection of essays published last year with him and took it out of his storage bag.

Master Rawls opened the catalog and was surprised at the wide range of topics Qiao Ann studied, and he was quickly fascinated.

Qiao An didn't want to disturb him, but temporarily remembered an important matter, he took the "soul-binding bottle" out of the storage bag and planned to return it to the original owner.

Master Rawls waved his hand and said casually: "Keep this thing for yourself, as a gift for helping me resurrect."

"But without the'Soul Bound Bottle', it will not be so convenient when you make the'Activated Scarecrow' in the future."

"That's right, anyway, I don't want to do that business anymore!" Master Rawls seriously reflected, "This experience of returning to life has had a great impact on my thinking. Over the past few years, I don't know how many livestock The soul is imprisoned by me in the structure. After death, I still can’t get rid of the pains of toil. Now thinking about it, this approach is too cruel. The primitive believers think this is my sin, so I have a murderous heart. It makes no sense at all."

Joan did not agree with Master Rawls's concept, but he did not refute it face to face.

There is a great horror between life and death. If it is not for personal experience, how can an outsider have an epiphany. Since they cannot understand, keeping silent is the best respect.

Master Rawls put Qiao'an's collection of essays on his knees, touched the storage bag, took out a thick book and handed it to him.

"Joan, this is my spell book. It contains some high-level spells that cannot be cast at my current level. Take a look. Maybe there are spells you can use."

This Qiao An is not welcome, and took a curious look.

Copying spells that you can't learn in advance, not only Qiao Ann has this "squirrel collecting food" hobby, in fact, all mages are the same, of course Master Rawls is no exception.

Qiao An browsed the spell book in his hand. He has mastered most of the spells. Only 4 spells are new knowledge that has not been copied, including two 6th-level spells, "acid rain storm" and "exclusion spell". There are two 7th-level spells, "Arcane Surge" and "Anti-Magic Ray".

"Acid Rain Storm" is a spell magic, similar in configuration to the 4-level "Ice Storm", but the spell has a wider coverage, and it can drop strong corrosive acid rain in a 40-foot radius cylinder, 15 energy levels The damage of the 6th-level spell is quite satisfactory, and the advantage is that it can cause double damage to metal objects that are susceptible to corrosion, including metal structures such as "Iron Golem".

The 6-level "exclusion" of the protection school is compatible with the characteristics of "sanctuary" and "living creature shield". After the spell is cast, it creates an enchantment around the body, preventing hostile creatures from entering, unless the opponent can use willpower Overcoming the spiritual coercion caused by spells-this is very similar to "Sanctuary Spell".

"Rejection" does not prevent the enemy from using ranged weapons or ranged magic to attack the caster outside the enchantment, which is very similar to "anti-living creature shield".

Compared with the "Sanctuary Spell", the "Rejection Spell" has the advantage of a wide range of defense, and the enchantment expansion radius is proportional to the caster level. With Qiao'an's current spellcasting ability, a spherical space of up to 240 feet can be set as a restricted area, which can cover a square!

Compared with the "living creature shield", the "repelling technique" not only blocks the enemy in a larger range, but also has a huge advantage-not limited to resisting the biological "living creatures", it is more effective against the undead and constructs. , Elemental creatures and outsiders are equally effective.

These two 6th-level spells are very practical, and the next two 7th-level spells are not just a practical issue, they are simply "abnormal"!

The "Arcane Surge" of the School of Change can greatly increase the link speed between the caster and the magic net after the spell is cast. The magic cast during the duration of the spell will automatically be reduced by a time level.

For example, a spellcasting ritual that originally took 3 seconds to complete is now shortened to a single thought that can be triggered, requiring almost no spellcasting time.

The spell that originally took 6 seconds can now be activated in 3 seconds.

The casting ritual that takes 1 minute is shortened to 6 seconds.

As for spell rituals with a casting time of more than 1 minute, "Arcane Surge" can do nothing.

In fact, more than 80% of the spells only need 3 seconds to cast, which means that "Arcane Surge" can make most magic instantaneous, and the duration is proportional to the cast level.

If Qiao Ann learns "Arcane Surge", he can make the next 24 spells have instant special effects. Isn't this invariable? !

There is another more abnormal one, which is the "anti-magic ray".

After the ray released by the caster hits the target, if the opponent’s willpower is not strong enough, he will be temporarily cut off from the magic net. For the next period of time, he can neither cast spells nor use any supernatural abilities, even The magic medicine that you drink into your stomach can't function normally, which is equivalent to being in the "anti-magic field"!

That's right, "Anti-Magic Ray" is a weakened version of the 8-ring "Anti-Magic Field".

It only takes effect on a single subject, and must be exempted from will. This is where the "anti-magic ray" is inferior to the "anti-magic field", but in Qiao An's view, the practicality of the "anti-magic ray" is not necessarily better than "Anti-Magic Field" is bad.

The biggest drawback of "Anti-Magic Field" is that the caster himself is also restricted and isolated from the magic net. However, "Anti-Magic Ray" does not have this problem. It seals the magic and supernatural abilities of others, and you can still do it yourself. Cast the spell as usual, it's so fragrant!

The carriage stopped in front of the former residence of Master Rawls. After entering the house, the two masters and apprentices ignored the dust on the floor and the furniture, and they dragged a chair with each other tacitly, and lay on the desk and did their own things. of.

Master Rawls concentrated on reading Qiao'an's essays.

Qiao An thought about transcribing four new magics he discovered from the teacher's spell book.

It took two full hours before Qiao An stopped writing and returned the spell book to Master Rawls.

After copying the spells, Qiao An only noticed that the uninhabited mansion for five years was full of dust, so he found rags, mops and brooms, and planned to clean it.

Master Rawls saw that he was busy, so he jumped up to help with the cleaning. He only wiped a small piece of the floor and shouted, planning to call a group of "invisible servants" out to do housework.

Joan remembered Mother Claire's advice when he left the hotel, and advised Master Rawls not to rely too much on magic for cleaning. It is best to do it by himself and exercise by the way. This is good for his health.

The plump-bodied Mr. Master took the mop reluctantly and wiped the floor under the supervision of the students. After a while, he was tired and sweaty.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
