Chapter 35: The Spiral Corridor
Butterfilell: "To betray his people so comfortably, at all costs, to achieve himself!" Amazing Enlightenment! Hmph, hum, hum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that what you just preached still seems a bit redundant! For the old man, it is obvious that there is no need to continue to elaborate. However, there is no shortage of ideas you have discussed for the truth of the matter, and the truth is definitely not beautiful! ”
After Butterfiller finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand and took out the handkerchief hidden in his sleeve robe, and with his right hand, he gently picked up the empty glass; Then, tilting it a little, holding it on the other side of the scroll; Then, like a bartender in a bar, he gently wiped off the alcohol that had leaked to the edge of the glass, and finally placed it smoothly on the armrest of the old wooden chair.
The gaze in his eyes became clearer and firmer; At first, what was revealed: that faint sentimentality; Now, in the blink of an eye, it has evolved into an exciting color.
The straight back is still facing the dazzling sun, but under its background, the corners of the mouth are flushed with a "smile"; However, I don't know whether this "smile" is because of the heartfelt emotional outpouring, the true portrayal of the face, or the original old wrinkles, at the junction of darkness and brightness, the illusion of "light and shadow".
・・・・・・
Inside the "ruins", the enemy and the enemy are still in a stalemate. Chenxing, Dye Yue, and Yaris, on the other hand, anxiously shuttled through the crowd, trying to avoid clashes with the enemy, and avoiding those who could, trying to dodge as much as possible, in order to reach the destination as quickly as possible:
In their own speculation, the enemy's headquarters should be located directly below!
From time to time, some of the enemy soldiers who were at the bottom of the tower, and who had not yet had time to rush forward to engage the "King's Army", lined up in well-trained rows, relying on pavilions and spiraling passages, and raised rows of wooden bows and crossbows, and condensed their magic in the process; Then, a few seconds later, the tip of the crossbow was painted with red magical patterns.
From that strange magic pattern, a thick killing intent immediately seeped out, like a pack of wolves chewing bones and constantly making a "bone shattering" sound, touching the nervous system of the three people.
Immediately, many red arrows rushed up, like a rain curtain, pulling into a large net that was open on three sides, and wanted to "capture" the three people on the spot.
And at this moment, Chenxing danced the golden energy sword, constantly wielding dazzling light, and slashed dozens of sword strikes in a row, although the number of sword strikes was far inferior to the number of arrow rain; However, in the duel of battles, the emphasis is not so much on the quantity of mages as on quality.
Each sword strike, like a comet holding its tail, swept away the dozens of arrows fired by the enemy in a "horizontal" or "oblique" attack trajectory, and finally swept towards the soldiers side by side, and with just one blow, more than a dozen were instantly knocked down.
"Chain of the Bright Moon・Corridor of the Circle"
The dyed moon dances pink magical chains, using them as weapons, and although they cannot effectively attack enemies, they still spread out the chains and scatter them around them; Then, it is magically driven to form a "cage" ring that rotates at high speed from the inside out.
In addition to using the advantage of its kinetic energy to block the attack of the rain of arrows from the outside, it also used the uneven blade decoration on the chain to break the arrow blades that collided head-on, turning them into countless polygon fragments and scattering around the space.
In the case of Aris, she uses a series of "empty step" skills to condense the magic power at her feet, which acts as a temporary support platform, and then, leaping above the two of them, aiming at the enemy diagonally below with a condescending and overwhelming positional advantage.
And the girl's graceful and moving floating posture seems to be driving the Pegasus and roaming in the sky as a "goddess archer".
Then, with his own magical metal, the bow and crossbow made of his own magical power, with his agile posture, drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and then bloomed into a magic array with a radius of two meters and shining with blue light; Then, hundreds of azure arrows burst out of it.
The speed, number, and power of the arrows all surpass the enemy.
Suddenly, in less than a second, the enemy crossbowmen, who had just been lined up and orderly, were "smashed" to pieces in the blink of an eye, and the sound of wailing resounded in the corridors. It was as if it had been hit by a meteorite that pierced the atmosphere and fell from the sky, with a blazing fire.
Bringing such a battle situation is not only the difference in level between A-level magicians and B-level magicians. At the same time, add the actual effect of the weapons used by the enemy:
The opponent's weapon is nothing more than a bow and crossbow made of ordinary wooden materials, and then applied magic on the surface, and the "arrow light" shot is nothing more than a "crystallized arrow" that condenses a lot of magic power; Of course, this kind of effect can't catch up with --- weapons made of regular magic metal.
It is said that weapons made from "magic metal minerals" like this can only be obtained by students who have studied at the "Emperor's Swings" at the Imperial Capital High School of Magic and have achieved excellent results and have a bright future.
Normally, the school will create exclusive weapons for the students themselves according to the wishes and requirements of the students. Therefore, even now, Alice is in a state of injury, and the sophistication of weapons can make up for its shortcomings.
Next, after breaking through the enemy's last line of defense, the three of them finally went down more than a dozen times without hindrance along the "spiral passage" in the tower.
After descending to a staircase, the spiral staircase temporarily disappears and is replaced by a flat terrain with an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
Stopping and looking around the environment, it was all one small room after another, divided, through the balustraded windows and the doors that had not yet closed:
In each small room, there are six beds, divided into upper and lower bunks. The bed was folded into the shape of "dried tofu", and when I thought of the predecessor of this gang of thieves, it was a military brigade of the Jiatingyan Empire, which made people with discerning eyes know at a glance that this was their dormitory!
The three of them made a brief stop in this level and couldn't help but be amazed.
Chenxing: "At the spiral staircase, I started to marvel at the underground buildings here!"
And as I continued to dig deeper, I didn't expect that there was such a magnificent space on this floor, which could provide accommodation for thousands of troops! And that's not the end of it! Under this layer, there is still unfathomable space! What kind of people is the enemy?
Although this is a deep forest and inaccessible to people, and the enemy has set up multiple fog magic enchantments here, which can interfere with the direction perception of intruders from neurons, and can also visually obscure buildings; Even the magic of the mist, along with the sound of digging into the rocks, could absorb it.
Even if you can quietly avoid the detection of others, build a base in this place; However, without the expertise related to "civil engineering" and the large-scale labor force, it is absolutely impossible for such a huge construction to be completed inexplicably in a closed environment without logistics exchange with the outside world!
It's incredible! ”
Dying Moon: "Yes, I can't imagine what I've learned:
It was only seven years ago that the fire that happened in the middle of the night and lasted only a few hours, and now it seems that there is such a big project hidden under this ground! ”
Yaris: "I don't need to be as surprised as you, I know that this underground project was built by my uncle, Shirada Habsburg!" Because only he can do such a thing! ”
Two: "Huh? What the? What's going on? ”
Chenxing and Sometsuki cast surprised glances at Aris.
Yaris: "Because, not only was he the best "earth attribute" magician in our family before, but seven years ago, he also studied [modeling magic] in the imperial capital "emperor's swings".
And from this department of the major, the outstanding students who successfully graduated!
Modeling magic, this special magic technology, combined with the conventional magic of soil attributes, can change the geographical structure in a short period of time, transform the physical and chemical properties of rock formations and soil, and give embodiment into the architectural appearance of their own design according to their own imagination.
The magical skills we usually use, especially the process of unleashing physical attacks:
The energy shock wave generated by the magic power, and its composition form, are mostly based on animal totems such as dragons, tigers, wolves, snakes, and bears. For example, the magic "Kirin Fury" used by Yakalet before was to transform the energy of thunder into the appearance of an angry unicorn, so as to play a deterrent role in terms of shape.
This is actually the most basic modeling magic, even those martial artists who can't magic, more or less consciously or unconsciously, through their own imagination, to understand the tip of the iceberg. And the same is true of the two of you, who can condense magic into the shape of swords and chains.
However, the more advanced modeling magic than this is not an ordinary person, and what can be easily mastered can only be comprehended after special training from the academy!
And my uncle Shirada was able to do it! In the category of [Modeling Magic] of the department of the academy, although it seems to be in other circumstances, the earth attribute is just an ordinary one of the natural attributes of the forest.
However, if you only focus on the category of [Modeling Magic], there is no doubt that among all the attributes, it is the most suitable!
The reason is simple, "earth attribute", as the name suggests, is the power to manipulate the earth's soil and hard rock. This kind of substance, which exists in solid form, is most conducive to maintaining the immutability of the [shape].
However, fire, water, light, wind, and other liquid, gaseous, and plasma states, all of which take on their physical forms, can only remain for a short time due to their physical properties.
Therefore, earth-attribute magicians, when they are training [modeling magic], are naturally more convenient than magicians with other attributes!
After graduating, their career will be to work as a civil engineering and architectural designer, in other words, to help people build houses and build economic industries within the bridge! Its prospects are relatively bright, and it is a high-paying profession that many magicians envy.
The stronger their magic, the greater the amount of work they can build. It is rumored that some S-class modeling magicians can directly follow the drawings to build an urban agglomeration that is enough to accommodate millions of people!
For example, buildings, streets, gardens, squares, transportation systems, schools, and even underground sewers can all be visualized overnight through modeling magic!
The reward for this kind of magician is naturally astronomical! It makes countless people blushing and coveting, but it is longing and unattainable!
However, if their power is to be used in other areas, they are extremely poor! If the use of its magic power is used in battle, it is very likely that an S-class modeling and construction magician will not be able to defeat an A-rank high-level magician who studies "attack" magic. ”
Chenxing: "Wow! I didn't expect it to be so powerful, I was speechless, it seems that I have been staying on a small island isolated from the world, and I have never heard of things on the mainland! I should really come to the mainland to experience and see the world, as the master told me! ”
Dye Yue: "Oh, don't be surprised, after we finish this mission and defeat the enemy, we will continue to the imperial capital, and in the process of studying at school, I will let you see a lot of interesting things!" Guaranteed to keep you entertained! ”
After hearing Chenxing's pitiful perception of the "lonely and unheard" of the Dioros Continent, Dye Yue showed a happy look on her face, intertwining and intertwining the ears of the two rabbits, her face in the direction of the soles of her feet, slightly buried, her eyes half-open, and squeezing out a sweet and lovely arc・・・・・・
