That night, Xiao Tianming finished his day's work and cleaned the library. The bright moon entered the window and filled the corners. Xiao Tianming looked at a thin booklet in his hand under the soft white light of the magic light:
"My Opinions on Improvements in Skeleton Summoning", written by a fifth-level magician named Marco.
Marco was not well-known in his life. His ancestor was an outstanding student of Xianqin College, but unfortunately the magic talent was not passed on to him. Their family was very grateful to Xianqin College for their cultivation, and Marco also received guidance from the teachers of the college. As a result, he was old and helpless.
Marco, his wife, donated his life's research results and dozens of books to the library free of charge, as his last contribution.
Most of these magical experiences are of little value. Marco, who only has level 5 in his life, is undoubtedly the lowest level in the strict magic class. What is commendable is his skilled spell-casting skills and omission of syllables. However,
For a low-level magic that is inherently intermittent, omitting a few insignificant syllables will not produce a qualitative change, and is of low value.
As a wise man said: There are always bright spots in little people. Marco is one of them, and Xiao Tianming discovered it keenly. The improvement of skeleton summoning has always been an important and difficult to solve problem in magic academics.
.Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous low-level magician actually had such a wonderful idea:
As we all know, the most important part of necromancy magic is the summoning necromancer. The rest of the curse system, bone system, and auxiliary system are all derivatives of it. The necromancy system is unique among the many branches of dark magic because of the undead.
Summon the legions of magic for universal use.
The scene of thousands of undead legions sweeping past like a roaring tsunami, devouring everything, has become the dream of all necromancers. An outstanding necromancer is enough to be worth a thousand-man team. A holy necromancer is a
Mobile main battle corps.
The terrifying cost-effectiveness in war is the reason why even though the Holy See of Light is shouting slogans to purify heretics, the Necromancer is still free. In the era of continental hegemony, power, cheap and absolute power is the absolute right to speak.
Among the undead legions, the lowest and most basic are the skeleton soldiers. They are cheap, fragile, and fearless. They are the cornerstone of many undead magics.
After upgrading, you can become a skeleton archer, skeleton warrior, skeleton magician, skeleton cavalry and even a skeleton general. There are complete arms.
After being dismantled, it is an excellent material for repairing many white bone undead. Skeleton warriors, black warrior armor, bone dragon skeletons, and the main body of skeleton siege vehicles. More than 70% of the undead army is made up of these white skeletons, which is worth mentioning.
A veritable cornerstone.
However, Skeleton Summoning is only a first-level undead magic, and the subsequent advancements are not obvious. Without its low cost performance, skeletons are worthless. Heroes of all ages have worked hard to improve this core undead magic. It only improves by a hundred.
One part will amplify the combat effectiveness of the undead army several times.
Unfortunately, there are only a few successful ones. There is only one generation of dark geniuses, the backbone of the evil alliance in the Twilight War, the Dark Magic Saint Merlin. By improving the spells and adding syllables in the underworld language, the casting time was shortened by 30%. The successors made no achievements.
Back then, Xiao Tianming also tried to master the dark magic. Unfortunately, it also ended in failure. After Merlin's transformation, he could not shorten even a syllable, and the magic power consumption was also reduced to the minimum. There is no room for improvement at all. Later generations, this
Magic has become an eternal word that cannot be changed, meaning it can never be improved.
However, Marco, a fifth-level magician, actually found his own way. When he was traveling when he was young, he saw a scroll of flame enchantment. Using it on a mercenary weapon can add flame damage to the weapon in a short period of time.
Marco guessed that since skeleton summoning can no longer be improved, can we start with auxiliary magic to enhance the strength of skeleton soldiers? You know, even now, undead auxiliary magic is mainly aimed at high-level undead.
Its representative is evil fanaticism. After using it, at the cost of damaging the dark origin of undead creatures, it forcibly stimulates the strength of the summoned object and destroys the enemy in a short time. It is mainly aimed at high-level undead that are powerful but slow to attack, such as abominations and bone dragons.
Marco didn't think so. Without systematic magic education, he had a more open mind. In his eyes, since the light system can create low-level group gain magic such as "Light Praise" and "Holy Light Bath", dark magic can certainly do it.
In terms of quantity, no department is more suitable than Undead Magic.
Marco may not realize it yet, but his thinking has created a new idea for the undead auxiliary system: low-level group gain. At that time, he was a rookie necromancer who couldn't even summon a bone dragon.
History is created by the masses. This sentence is indeed true. When many top necromancers in the world of necromancy were still preaching that skeleton summoning was the perfect magic and the eternal word of the gods, Marco had already stepped out.
The advantages of skeletons are their large number, low mana consumption, fearlessness of death, and terrifying attacks. Their weaknesses are fragile bones, slow movement, obvious fatal points, and low intelligence.
The fatal point is obviously exposed, which is a common problem of the bones of the undead. After all, there is no flesh and blood package, and the spine is interrupted, temporarily losing the ability to participate in the battle. Low intelligence is also a chronic disease of the skeleton. After all, the skeleton is not a high-level undead, but a simulation of the undead magic.
The fire of the soul can only possess spiritual wisdom after awakening.
Marco started with fragile bones. Fragile bones determine that the skeleton cannot walk too fast, cannot stay on the main plane for a long time, and cannot cause trouble to powerful enemies.
He meditated hard and was inspired by the "Dark Entanglement", trying to use dark magic to fill the gaps in the bones to strengthen the toughness of the bones. The effect was really outstanding. Under his hands, the skeleton soldiers could catch up with the intermediate warriors and withstand the full strength of the intermediate warriors.
One hit and nothing happens, and it can even stay on the main material plane several times longer.
You know, according to the conclusion: at least three skeleton soldiers are needed to defeat warriors of the same level. Marco's modified No. 1 can actually fight in a duel without losing. The strength of the skeleton has almost tripled! Imagine three
The skeleton army has been upgraded twice, even the giant dragon will tremble!
It's a pity that he was not taken seriously at the time when he was only at the fifth level. Instead, he was regarded as not doing his job properly and was condemned by the Magic Academy. He was disheartened and died soon after.
Xiao Tianming read this thin booklet like a biography and felt a lot in his heart. If Marco's magic talent had been better back then, he would have become a magic master. He has a scholar's heart and a mind that dares to create.
, has the spirit of questioning authority. Unfortunately, fate plays a trick on people.
Xiao Tianming's thousands of years of undead magic knowledge told him that Marco's theory was completely feasible. The whimsical idea of using dark elements to enrich and transform the skeleton of a skeleton and turn it into a killing machine made Xiao Tianming amazed.
He summoned a white skeleton at random. The white and round skull was holding a rusty iron sword, with an innate sense of humor. He casually tested it and cut it on the trial stone. There was not even a white mark.
Level 1 Skeleton Soldier! Not so lucky. Level 1 Skeletons can't even defeat a farmer with better physical strength.
"Dark entanglement", Xiao Tianming muttered a spell in a low voice, and tentacle-like black smoke rose from the ground out of thin air. It slowly wrapped around the skeleton. He took out a trial stone and ordered the skeleton to attack, "Bounce!"
With a loud bang, the iron sword broke off a piece the size of a nut, and an inch-deep gap appeared on the trial stone.
Xiao Tianming took a breath. One-inch depth is the standard for admissions to Xianqin College. It is close to a level four attack. Considering the fragility and low intelligence of the skeleton, it is not an exaggeration to evaluate it as level three, right? An auxiliary magic,
It can more than triple the strength of the skeleton soldiers. I have to say that Marco is a genius.
For a moment, Xiao Tianming looked at the little skeleton with even more intense eyes. This is the hope of the undead army!
