Chapter 44 Clearing the Wasteland
Thunderbolt harnessers are not common in Ash, but they are not rare enough to be of rare breeds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as the magic system of Ash's world is concerned, wind, fire, earth and water are the four basic elemental magic, which is the origin of all magic, but it is also the most basic and primitive element control method....... it is natural that these four systems have the most casters.
It is said that the casters of the four elements and the extremely prolonged elements account for forty percent of all mages, and among the elemental mages, the primordial four element mages of wind, fire, earth and water account for more than eighty percent.
The remaining two percent are casters of lightning, ice, and lava that are called advanced/mutant elemental magic.
And it's like the Ice Mage is an advanced and other branch of the Water Mage. The Thunder Mage is also an advanced level of the Wind Mage, and the Ice Mage is far more aggressive than the Water Mage, and the attack ability of the Thunder and Lightning Commander is also far beyond the Wind Mage.
Generally speaking, the master of the advanced spell system will practice after reaching a certain level of corresponding source element magic, after all, the entire class system is built step by step.
It's not that no one skips the initial stage to learn advanced magic directly, but there will always be shortcomings after that, it is easy to encounter bottlenecks and knowledge deficiencies, and there will be problems with elemental affinity, which often outweigh the losses.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, the kind of talent is strange, and it is not impossible to get started with advanced magic and the level is quite high, but it is just rare....... this kind of hands-on skipping is basically a special bloodline, or simply not a mortal from the beginning.
For ordinary human mages, the requirements for advanced magic are quite high, and it is not easy to master the basic elemental magic and have to start all over again, and the cost performance may not be enough (the life span is too short), the number of cultivators will never go up, and only in special environments and special areas will there be a large number of advanced elemental masters.
For example, there are many ice mages in the north, where traditional water mages can't find liquid water that can be controlled, on the contrary, where the ice method can receive a large amount of environmental bonuses, and doubling the combat power is considered an underestimate.
Correspondingly, there is no ice method in the tropics, there are many fire methods, and there are many life extension techniques of fire methods.
The wind element is ubiquitous in Ash and Ansolein, and it is less affected by the environment, but it is actually not very popular, the main reason is that the middle and low-level mages lack destructive power, and spells such as wind blades and whirlwinds have a good killing range, and the lethality of units is low, and when it is time to summon tornadoes and typhoon eyes to destroy the world...... Any mage who reaches that level can destroy the world.
Even if it is a thunder mage with advanced magic, if it is used as a turret to bombard, it may not be bombarded by a fire mage of the same level, after all, there is no obvious difference in the quantity and quality of the elements controlled by the two sides........
While combat power is not the only criterion for judging the merits of magic, most people see the value of a spellcaster as straightforward and practical.
The wind mage itself has a small base, and it is very difficult to advance the thunder method, and at the same time, the thunder element is extremely manic and untamable, and it is too easy to accidentally.
Although it does have an advantage in attack, the number of human thunder mages has never increased...... The longevity of elves is too long-lived, and the magic system is relatively complete and complete, so it is safe and fast to practice, and there are too many advanced mages and part-time mages, so I won't discuss it here for the time being.
The first batch of wastelanders must enter the wasteland full of thunderstorms and work in an environment overflowing with thunder elements for a long time, although theoretically the lightning protection magic armor can resist lightning strikes, but a little leakage, it will be the end of death for ordinary people outside the thunder law.
And on the other hand, because the stock of lightning elements in the wasteland is too high, flowing liquid mines, ball lightning, and plasma lightning in a state of existence are also flooded with it, which is obviously fatal, and Lei Fa is able to use its own elemental perception ability to avoid risks while being highly resistant.
It is not difficult to find the thunder method in the thunderstorm wasteland, and it is already the experience that the pioneers have summed up with their lives to find the corresponding elemental harnessers to serve as the initial pioneers in the extreme environment.
"A3, how is your situation over there? Are those thunder tigers gone?"
The black ** armor, which is slightly larger than similar models, is extremely agile, and the lightning flashes from time to time, although the lightning strike cannot hurt it, even if the heat insulation layer has been installed, the high temperature from nowhere is still uncomfortable.
Half-kneeling on the high ground below, the body lying in the overly "warm" wheelhouse, Rorschach tried to concentrate on scanning the enemy around him, and he was drenched in sweat, and what he missed most now was the cold shower in the bedroom.
A3 replied, and the group of thunder beasts couldn't find anything to eat, and they had been walking for almost ten minutes, and it looked like they wouldn't be back today. ”
"Okay, open the shield, let's get on with our work. Good job boy, I'll treat you to a beer when you go back, chilled. ”
"Oh, I'm still underage......"
Disbelief and coaxing in the communicator interrupted Rorschach's words, after all, more than two meters tall, and how he behaved these days, he didn't look like a minor.
And then there was a loud bang, and the earth cracked, and a huge black beast crawled out of it, and it opened its big mouth, but black figures walked out of it.
It was a Thunderbolt armor of the same type as Rorschach, but it was smaller and unarmed, and most of the equipment it carried was construction tools such as shovels, sapper shovels, and chainsaws.
As soon as they came out, they began to get busy in the area, some began to cut and prepare the city walls, some were debugging various instruments, and some were repairing houses with special alloy bricks like stacked blocks.
"Come on, guys, we're already behind schedule. ”
"Heh, when is it not left behind is news. ”
According to the original plan, this is already the stage of full construction of New Tonia City.
Due to the dense lightning strikes on the surface, which caused a lot of trouble for the construction, the first construction was the underground part of New Tonia City, and its main body, which was also completed a week ago, and now the construction of the ground layout has begun.
Some things look easy and are hard to do, and some things look hard and are harder to do...... Well, it's about building a city in the middle of a wasteland.
The expected difficulties are not less, the working environment here is unbearable for the dwarven masters who are used to living in the furnace, and even if they are careful, there are still people who permanently quit the work sequence.
And the levels that were not expected also jumped out one by one.
For example, half an hour ago, the camp was attacked by a group of thunder elemental creatures, who were the product of the thunderstorm season, wantonly attacking and plundering all non-elemental creatures.
In general, they like to simulate the forms of various animals, after all, these animals still have models during the Wasteland without mines.
The targets of these thunderbeasts attacking the Eshims are the living and primordial lightning strike stones.
At first, the Ash suffered a loss, and for a while they even sent warriors to encircle and hunt the thunder elemental creatures, but later it was found that this was basically meaningless.
The corresponding elemental creatures in the high-concentration element environment are almost indestructible, even if they are killed in one go, they will soon come again, and it is disgusting enough to heal and regenerate while fighting, and it is enough to divide and reproduce while fighting, so what else is there to fight.
Thankfully, due to the extreme environment here, the Ash didn't encounter any hostile enemies other than the Thunderbeasts, and unfortunately, these guys were annoying enough.
It's like fighting water elemental creatures in the ocean area..... it's definitely not going to get any results.
Fortunately, the newly born thunderbeasts have a low IQ, and their attacks and predatory behaviors are almost instinctive, and after several unprovoked consumptions, the Ash people wisely chose to avoid the battle.
Hiding underground can make them get nothing, and getting bait to get them out early is just a waste of time.
But it is definitely not okay for everyone to hide in it, some important facilities left on the ground cannot be destroyed by them, once they are in the critical area after all, they must take the initiative and try to lure them away.
Considering the danger of the job, it must have been the combatants who took on the role of bait and sentinel, and at least judging by the results so far, Rorschach did a good job.
And Rorschach's job is not the most deadly.
According to the classic elemental theory of the casters of the Tower in the Clouds, elemental beings will only be born in certain environments where the elemental tides are extremely intense and the elemental concentrations are abnormally high, such as various elemental planes.
And after they are born, they will absorb the elemental forces around them to evolve themselves, and when they evolve to a certain extent, they will devour each other, merge and evolve, and eventually high-level elemental creatures such as elemental giants and elemental lords will appear.
Low-level elemental creatures have a low IQ and are easy to deal with, and once an elemental lord with intelligence and can control the elemental beast herd appears..... it will really be fatal, after all, the Ishes are equivalent to invading this "half-elemental plane", and high-level elemental creatures will definitely take the initiative to remove these "foreign bodies".
Once the thunderstorm season is over, it means that this half-elemental plane will disappear directly....... But judging from the fact that there are always many thunder elemental creatures in this wasteland, many of these thunder beasts must be able to survive until the next thunder season.
The longer the elemental creatures live, the easier it is to advance, and the most terrifying thing about the superiority of high-level elemental creatures over combat power is that they can control the elemental army in this environment.
Therefore, in order to prevent the appearance of high-level elemental creatures and elemental lords, at least around New Tonia City, the two thunder descenders "A1" and "A2", who are stronger than Rorschach, are hunting those large elemental creatures that may be advanced with their combat crews.
"From the current point of view, the cleanup work is still going well, at least I haven't seen any high-level elemental creatures ........"
【....... Shut up!Rax-Billed Rorschach!]
And from the frightened roar of the god sister, Rorschach knew that trouble was coming.
