Chapter 11: The Weakness of the Magic Cannon
Burst!
Ragnar slashed the guard's throat with a swallow the moment he appeared.
"It's terrible to be in this place in an instant. Regner sighed with a frown.
The reason why he made such an exclamation was not because he had bumped into the enemy in an instant, but because he ...... The tower he instantaneously came to...... Is it a restroom......
And the poor Stoke guard just now was just looking for an opportunity to solve a physical problem while patrolling. But he didn't expect that this time in the toilet, his life was gone.
"In three minutes, Anne will be teleporting. Garona said very calmly......
“......”
Three minutes is simply not enough time for Regner to find a safe and secluded corner, so if he doesn't want to be exposed, Regner's best bet is to stay here.
But how Anne Lot would react when she came to such a scene, Regner could imagine it on his heels. Therefore, from the perspective of life safety, Regner felt that it was safer for him to rush out and find the Stoke people than to stay here......
"Needless to say, for the sake of the mission, I, Regner, will be willing to kill myself!" If anyone was around, they would have noticed that Regner was dying with a bit of generosity at this time.
"People are willing to cut their bodies because they dare to pull the emperor off the horse. Are you willing to take your whole body and pull Annie into the men's bathroom?" said Garona, gloating.
"Ahhhh
......
Three minutes later, the teleportation sigil in Regner's pocket emitted a faint turquoise glow, which was originally just a dot and then gradually spread in an irregular circle. It is worth noting that the space outside this circle has not changed in the slightest, but the scenery inside the circle is a gloomy grove.
Immediately after, Anne Lot's heart-warming face appeared in the circle. She first stretched out a hand from inside and tried it, and after confirming that there was no problem, Annelot walked straight out of the circle.
"I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to do it this time!" Regner shuddered with fear.
But Anne Lot obviously didn't eat his set, she glanced at Regna with a murderous gaze, but said lightly: "The task is important, I will settle this account with you later!"
"Luckily, it's ......," Regner breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite his best patience, the smell coming from the toilet was unbearable for Anne Lot, who had always loved cleanliness. She frowned and said, "Let's go, get out of here first." ”
"Okay. Regner also knew that it was better to be obedient at this time, so he went into stealth very simply.
And Annelot also used her own speed to perform advanced invisibility and the eye of insight. Of these two spells, the former gives Annelot the invisibility ability that cannot be broken even if the spell is cast, while the latter gives Annelot insight into Regner's stealth ability. Of course, even with the Eye of Insight, Anne Lot was vaguely looking at Regner.
Regner, on the other hand, was even more helpless, and the invisible Anne Lot was completely transparent. So in desperation, the Frost Girl could only walk out of this stinky place hand in hand with Regner.
"Let's go there first!" Regner gestured to a magic cannon not too far from the two of them.
Each cannon has two fixed guards, in addition to guards patrolling back and forth across the walls. If he had directly used simple methods such as killing people and destroying cannons, Regner felt that the matter would be exposed in about fifteen minutes. And at his speed, one cannon will be destroyed about every three minutes, and five in fifteen minutes.
If he then forcibly attacked in an exposed situation, he estimated that he would be able to delay for another half hour or so, but in that case, it would be good if he could destroy a cannon in ten minutes. There are only three doors in half an hour, plus the previous five, at most eight doors can be destroyed. Of course, with the results of Annelot's side, considering Annelot's mobility, the girl may be faster than Regner. But even so, the two of them together can destroy a maximum of about twenty magic cannons, which is still a long way from promising the total destruction of Manhattan.
Thinking of this, Regner couldn't help but be glad that he had brought Anne Lot. With her there, Regner thought it would be a lot easier. This confidence can be said to be almost unfounded, but Regner just thinks that this frost girl has such a god.
The two guards stood there and chatted a little boringly, after all, this is Haichao City, and the city wall alone is more than twenty meters high, and it is impossible for the northern Yankees to run up, so how can they destroy the magic cannon? They are just standing guard here for the sake of prudence.
But what they didn't expect was that someone would be able to climb such a high wall with ease. Not only that, but these two people were also watching right under their noses the magic cannon, their biggest reliance on defending the city.
"What to do?" asked Regner, gesturing in sign language, which had been recorded in Verles's notes. But Regner, who was acting alone, didn't think it was useful, so he never studied. It wasn't until he and Annelot began to work together that Regner understood the importance of passing on messages silently. And this set of sign language is just learned before the last task.
"Let me observe. "Anne Lot used the spell Silent Hair to cast a teleportation spell, and she was completely invisible, in which case even sign language Regner could not see.
Anne Lot spun around the cannon lightly, and then began to think seriously with her chin propped up.
"Haven't you already read all the information about the magic cannon in the MIA?" asked Regner, waving his arm.
"It's different, what I know from those materials is only scratching the surface, and I can only have a clear understanding of it when I really see the real thing. Annelot said that the teleportation technique was only a zero-level trick, and the difference between it and the second-level spell concealment teleportation was only whether or not to move the lips. And Anne Lot is now invisible, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't move her lips.
"Can you find its weaknesses?" Regner continued.
Annelot didn't answer, but if she hadn't been invisible at this point, Regner would have been able to see Annelot just glance at her with disdain. It's like saying to Regner, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
"I see, the energy transmission device has multiple lines, and it is not so easy to destroy, and even if it is destroyed, the traces left behind will be very huge, and the guards are likely to detect it quickly......" Annelot thought as she observed, "What about the energy source?"
"The Reservoir Crystal, which is a source of energy, is carefully protected inside...... Regner's Devouring Light should be easily destroyed if it is accompanied by a spatial cut, and the traces left behind will be very small, and it should not be noticeable in a short time......" Anne Lot continued to think, "So what should I do?"
It is true that Regner can silently destroy the core of the magic cannon through spatial cutting, but what about Annelot? she doesn't have the ability to cut space, and she can only rely on spells to destroy energy sources, but as long as it is a spell, even the movement caused by a magic missile will definitely make the guards notice. As long as she makes a move, she will definitely be exposed, what should she do?
Anne Lot thought again, and then suddenly froze. She tentatively stretched out her hand, and a chill struck her from the cannon.
"Huh, what's the matter with that cold wind just now?" asked one of the guards after a cold fight.
"Strange, I feel it too. Another guard also said a little strangely, but the sudden appearance and sudden disappearance of the low temperature obviously did not arouse their alarm. The two of them discussed a few words, and after determining that the discussion could not be fruitful, they shifted the topic to "On the size of the breasts of women in the north and south".
Ragner put away the swallowing light and black blades that were around the necks of both of them. Although Annelot's cryogenic field is powerful, the huge temperature difference can easily attract the attention of others. Of course, this level of attention is much smaller than a mage's spells.
"It's done!" Anne Lott checked the magic cannon with satisfaction. As I expected, in order for the magic cannon to reach the level of mass production, the number of magic storage crystals will be a big problem.
Under normal circumstances, the value of a magic storage crystal is half that of a diamond of the same volume, and if the energy source of the magic energy cannon is made of this kind of thing, I am afraid that even with the rich heritage of the Stoke Empire, it will not be able to bear it.
Therefore, Anne Lot guessed that the energy source of the magic cannon might not be a normal magic storage crystal. And it's true, because the magic cannon only fires super fireballs, it uses molten fire crystals.
It is also a gemstone that stores elemental energy, but can only store fire-based energy. Moreover, unlike the precious Heart of the Ocean gem set in Annelot's robe, it stores fire elemental energy to a level that is not at all comparable to the amount that Heart of the Ocean can hold for the Frost elemental, but Molten Fire Crystals are cheap and very common.
But it has an obvious disadvantage, that is, it will be damaged at low temperatures, basically, as long as the temperature is close to zero, the crystal structure inside the molten fire crystal will be destroyed, that is, it will not be able to store fire element energy.
So Anne Lott had just tried using the Cryogenic Domain, only to find that it really couldn't absorb it anymore when she infused her mana into the energy source. This shows that the energy source has been destroyed by the low temperature just now.
"I see, so even though Stoke developed the magic cannon last winter, he didn't put it into use?"
