Of course, the connection between the psion and the psicrystal servant uses the language of the soul, which is like someone overhearing it, so from the outside, Edward is still a respectful and silent apprentice.
Although he has not had a few contacts, according to Edward's guess, this hometown dialect is actually a joke. He likes to see someone struggling in pain. Or, no matter how strong the power is, there is nothing like that buried deep in the blood.
The way to change is that the dwarf always likes his own pranks and likes to see others troubled by them, but he is not very calm, so once the desired result does not appear, then he will inevitably lower the difficulty.
Just like now.
"Well, since the thing is only half done, then I can only give you half of the reward. Well, let's do this. You seem to have a lot of little bits and pieces on you. Take one out and I'll attach it to you.
The magic is done."
"Enchanting?" Edward's expression became a little loose. "Enchantment?"
"..., cunning and greedy little thing." The old dwarf was stunned, but he just laughed and cursed.
So Edward was a little confused again.
Strictly speaking, magic items are nothing more than adding magic to an item. However, just like the same rotten tree roots, which can only be chopped into firewood by farmers, root carving masters can turn them into
Just like a work of art worth tens of thousands of green bars, this additional process is the key.
The strength of magic items not only depends on the type of spell, but also on the effect and duration. There is a certain limit on the number of times it can be used, and it is a disposable method. It requires the user's mental power to be activated. There is a fixed number of methods used per day.
: and the permanent method that takes effect permanently once attached..., the use value increases sequentially, and the value of itself naturally increases as the tide goes up.
Constant magic...
Before the start of this journey, he had been given a constant magic shield. Although this spell did not have much impact, it was just because the opponent was too strong.
In fact, permanent enchantment is not something that anyone can easily accomplish. Any permanent spell will consume a lot of energy on the part of the creator. It is said that even a genuine enchanter cannot easily create it for others.
Rewards such as magic props and the lion's mouth will only bring about a one-shot deal, so although Edward can only consider choosing some suitable magic from the basic magic.
But the choice is always a headache.
The chain armor obtained from Elena is already quite good and does not need to be strengthened, not to mention that it is difficult to strengthen something with high-level magic. Psychic items such as boots naturally do not need to be considered for so long.
Weapons like swords? Not bad. The daggers and longbows he has on hand are all made of ordinary iron. Although with the bonus of the ring, they can be regarded as hair-breaking, but sometimes they are sharp.
It may not solve all problems.
No matter how much you refine an ordinary weapon, it is impossible to compare with one infused with magic... To turn ordinary iron into a sharp blade, you only need to solidify a sharpening technique. In this way, even an over-forged wrought iron blade can be used
You can also make hair, open houhou cowhide, you need
By increasing the power, you can solidify the laceration." In this way, as long as you cut a wound, it will bleed. The poison quenching technique can make the blade always poisonous. The lightness technique can make the heavy sword lighter than the rapier.
, and these are just the simplest parts of magic."
There are so many things we want, but so few to choose from.”…
"To maintain magic, the quality of the weapon itself is more important than the added magic." Edward lowered his head and said nothing, but the master didn't seem to be ready to urge him. He just left the experimental table, turned around and sat down in front of the desk, and then everyone was there.
Everything that was messed up in the small explosion swayed and floated up, and then flew back to the position it was in before it was taken down. The masterpiece of the invisible servant. And the chair with magic according to his
The posture automatically adjusts to a more comfortable posture.
"A long sword with blazing magic can't do more damage than a giant axe. It's almost meaningless if it can't penetrate the enemy's armor. And magic weapons with names like disintegration and decapitation rely too much on the ability to attack...
, In fact, the advantages of using magic on weapons are limited. If it cannot achieve the advantage of killing with one hit, then for a guy like you who likes light and agile sneak attacks, it is better than a refined product made purely by a blacksmith.
Without magical aura, it has unexpected advantages in certain situations."
Edward nodded, but felt a shackle in his heart... This old guy must have done some research on himself, otherwise how would he know that he likes sneak attacks?
"If it is a magic storage item, it is actually not very difficult. With your ability, you can also make it. Although your magic ability is not good, the mental power used to drive the magic circle is enough, such as some simple magic
For items, you only need to etch magic circles on them and then drive them. As for the parts that need to be connected to the magic network, you can use the power of the scroll to replace them.
"Replacing." The dwarf continued indifferently: "But the mage's precepts are to tap one's own wisdom, so a mage does not have to be good at it, and have a large number of attack spells. If there is a real spell contest, a mage does not have to be good at it."
The evocation mage who claims to have the strongest offensive means among all factions may not necessarily be able to win against mages from other factions of the same level."
"Well, Tutor Albert, I think I still need to think about it." After hesitating for a moment, Edward finally failed to make a decision and bowed.
So the old dwarf nodded and signaled the apprentice to step back. There was no hint of joy or anger on his face. But when Edward was about to exit the door, he suddenly said lightly: "It seems that this adventure has made you more familiar with magic."
Your understanding has improved, you should be able to cast a level 1 spell now, right?"
Can I cast 1st level spells now?
Edward recited a spell in a low voice, and a circle of purple light condensed in his hand and turned into a ball. Then, with a gentle wave of his fingers, the sphere turned into a stream of light and hit the ground.
A popping sound.
This was just the effect of a magic missile, and it looked extremely weak. The stone slabs on the ground did not even suffer the slightest damage, and not even a speck of dust was shaken.
But Edward's expression was still a little distorted. He turned around, stretched out his hand and punched the table, and then punched it again. The solid wooden table rumbled and creaked in dissatisfaction, and a numbness soon spread from his wrist.
, but he continued as if he didn't realize it, until the entire palm of his hand began to become red and swollen.
He activated the medical skills on the chain mail, repaired the injury on his wrist, and started somersaulting again... one, two, three... until he was out of breath and dizzy.
Edward's interest was suddenly raised to the limit. He held the ring in his hand and carefully felt the magical energy contained in it... After a long time, he opened his eyes.
There are actually three spells attached to this ring: Mage Armor, Feather Fall... Although they are all auxiliary things and have no offensive effect, Edward quickly focused on other problems and only relied on this ring.
With the power of the ring, he can now at least exert the abilities of a low-level spell caster...
Of course, there is no way to achieve the variety of spellcasting methods like a real mage. The power of mages is based on the understanding and application of knowledge, but a warlock relies on the power of blood to communicate with the magic network and cast spells.
No problem. If these people are discovered early, they will usually be selected as apprentices by the mages.
But as far as general theory is concerned, different magic spells tend to conflict with each other and are difficult to coexist on the same item at the same time. Therefore, various magic items in the world basically have a single function.
But thousands of years ago, the glorious magical civilization was not just talked about. In addition to "typicals" such as the floating city and the great arcanist, the magical creation science of the Nether era was also the first to be developed.
.Being able to integrate a variety of magic with different effects into one can be regarded as an extremely brilliant achievement.
However, the ability attached to this ring is beyond description with the word "brilliant".
Take a closer look, in addition to these types of magic, it can also give any weapon used by Edward the effect of sharp magic, and allow his eyesight to see through all kinds of darkness. Or maybe Edward does not have a deep understanding of magic.
But as far as he knows, the most suitable way to call such a thing is probably an artifact.
"Artifact",…
The hunter was suddenly a little happy. After all, in the literary works in his memory, beings who had the same experience as him would usually get something like this - does this mean that after ten years of withholding sermons, those Fu Han identities
The encounter finally came belatedly, and then came one after another bit by bit?
However, Edward believes that this does not require a mage to completely abandon the pursuit of attack spells such as energy evocation. Softness can overcome strength, but weakness may not necessarily defeat strength. Therefore, the integration of strength and softness is said to be the best form of martial arts.
, and for young psychics, damage and creating opportunities are equally important components of combat.
In his calm mind, there was still a trace of excitement. Edward seemed very restless at this time and wanted to run out and tell everyone about his changes, everyone he met.
Well, while he was resting like this, a face seemed to suddenly pop up in his mind, and then it froze.
This is a house made of ordinary stones. It is the simplest and most ordinary building form. There are even traces of masonry on the wall.
But no one would think that it is crude, because the surface of that stone is so white, almost like a whole piece of white jade, exuding a transparent luster... This luster flows slightly, so here Almost every inch of space is overflowing with rich energy. Bathing in this energy will make people feel solemn, solemn and magnificent.
The room was not very big, and there were no elegant furnishings. There was only a huge wooden table placed in the center in front of the paladin.
The wooden table is made of very good hardwood, and the surface is polished very smooth. There are some messy documents piled on it. Behind the long table, there are ten hardwood chairs with similar shapes and simple carved patterns. The only difference is that each one is different. Each chair has a backrest that is different in height from the others. From the center chair which is more than six feet high to the two feet at the edge, they form a simple but yet symbolic ups and downs of some profound difference.
At this moment, there are only three old figures sitting in these seats.
The person sitting on the chair in the middle, next to the highest table and chair, was looking at Elena who was standing quietly with her head bowed.
This is undoubtedly an old man. He looks like he has experienced countless years of wind and frost. The deep ravines on his cheeks make his skin droop a little. However, this old age does not reveal the slightest dignity or wisdom on his face... because of the grayish yellow color. The dry beard and the conspicuous red nose make him look like a bad old man that can be seen everywhere in the countryside. However, the divine emblem on this bad old man is made of genuine gems and gold inlaid in orchids. This is already the most senior representative in Sendel's church, and usually only the person in charge of a parish can wear it...
According to the definition of divine division..., in the usual sense, a parish is a country.
The old man on the right has a protruding forehead and sunken eye sockets. He seems to have been drained of all his energy by some kind of illness. He only occasionally raises his eyes with drooped eyelids, looks around, and then closes his eyes slightly. But even if Just a moment of opening is enough to make people feel shocked. The pupils under the eyelids are flashing with holy light, without the slightest color. It seems that they are not human eyes, but two crystals that are constantly emitting light!
As for the old man on the left, he is a little different from these two people.
It's not because the color of the old mage's skin is red like a flame, with a layer of hazy red mist floating on the outside of the skin as if it's burning. It's not because he has a brown beard mixed with silver threads. He does not look like an elderly person at all, but because of the countless obscure runes outlined with metal threads on the robe he is wearing, shining and flowing.
"First I need to commend you for your achievements."
"Thank you for your praise for expelling the devil and killing the evil leader, so that justice can be done. It is not my fault alone, but belongs to the entire Farne diocese. Seven priests and paladins have dedicated their precious lives to this end." Life. And it wasn’t me who really killed that cultist, but like..."
"Yes, yes, their actions are indeed the most noble sacrifice, and it is really surprising that this man named Edward can achieve such achievements in such a battle..., Okay, Elaine Knight Na, what kind of person do you think this young man named Edward is?" After a moment of melancholy silence, the old man near the center slowly spoke. His eyes were still focused on a piece of parchment in front of him. It seemed like it was just a casual question.
But this is actually a euphemistic suspicion. Paladins will not lie, but they may be deceived.
A low-level mage apprentice killed a mage who could summon Balrogs and powerful evil undead? Even with the help of seven paladins and several officiating priests, this was nothing more than a legend... In fact In comparison, legends have a greater degree of credibility. If it is a miracle created by the blessing of God, this may not be unexpected, but according to the paladin...
"This..." The girl's voice hesitated for a moment.
This question made her feel a little embarrassed... If it were anyone else, she could give an answer directly in her heart - her family is kind and innocent, her mentor is wise and just, and her companions are Brave, upright, and even enemies can be simply summarized as evil or stupid.
But the person she needs to describe at this moment is definitely the most complicated.
Is he evil? In some ways, yes, he ignores the law, despises justice, and treats everything in his own way... Needless to say, it goes without saying that he uses magic to control ordinary people. , even using the lives of innocent people to buy time, this is undoubtedly evil...
But what he did and what he achieved was undoubtedly correct. When he was at a loss, every suggestion he made led to the final result. The city
Do the right thing, use the right method, and get the right result. This is how your elders have taught you since you were a child. However, what is very contradictory is the correct standard.
Everyone has a ruler in their heart. At the beginning, there is nothing on the ruler. Only when you understand the difference between good and evil can you mark the ruler in your heart. It has always been , I believe that the decision made by measuring everything I encounter with the ruler in my heart will definitely be the most righteous decision.
But that person told her a weird way of thinking through his actions. A ruler cannot measure anything, and even the scales cannot always be clear. When they overlap with other people's scales, your own scales will begin to blur. .
