Chapter Eighty-Nine: Flight
Steam-powered ships sail the seas.
Asker on the deck looked at the black smoke emitted from the chimney on the top of the ship, and for a while he felt a little emotional and nostalgic.
After version 5 of "A Song of Iron and Fire", the Holy See made this steam-powered ship without any integrated circuits, which made players shout "steampunk".
Later versions have also successively released land vehicles without circuits specializing in coal-burning vehicles, giant robots, power armor, and so on. They use a complex purely mechanical structure, extremely high processing accuracy (of course, the processing equipment is still electrified, otherwise it would not be possible to achieve accuracy), and the military route of heavy fire coverage rather than precision guidance has made countless veteran military fans who do not play this game angry and heretical.
Well, it always feels like the Holy See is being forced to submit to the Demon Tide and start to point the tech tree in strange directions.
Synth sailors are busy walking around the deck. Leaning against the railing of the ship's side, Aske looked out at the endless sea ahead and once again drew a short sword in his hand.
This short sword is not a summoning of "conceptual armament", but comes from Asker's "embodiment of the law". From the moment he was promoted to Lv. 15, he was able to condense the invisible laws of war into a tangible entityβthe shape of this short sword.
By the way, Peggy's law of death is embodied in the shape of a tadpole.
As for why it's a tadpole, there's no way to understand it at all.
If the law of condensation in Lv.10 is an attempt by the transcendent to observe the existence of the law, then the concretization of the law in Lv.15 is actually the law in response to the observation of the transcendent.
At Lv. 20, "Realm Weaving" and "Body Conceptualization" are essentially the process of the transcendent merging themselves with the law to begin the process of gaining divinity.
Of course, demigodification itself is actually a double-edged sword, gradually endowing the transcendent with the power and nature of "gods", while gradually stripping them of their humanity and reason.
Therefore, players jokingly call the law of cohesion "chasing girls", the law of concretization is "chasing and falling in love", becoming a demigod is "getting married", and after that, it is "losing personality......
The dagger that Asque was holding at this time was the embodiment of the laws of war that responded to him, and the mere look at it gave people an eerie feeling of sharpness, pain, and fear.
With his left hand, he pulls out the plunder skill he is ready to cast, and in his right hand he holds a embodied weapon that holds the laws of war, and begins to slowly try to attach it to the skill.
Skill specialization, that is, the skill that you have comprehended, is recognized by the laws of the world, so that you can greatly enhance the power of the law skill itself by attaching the law to the skill.
On the path of the Transcendent's Law, except for Lv.15 and Lv.20, which are fixed law visualization and realm weaving, the remaining 8 upgrades correspond to 8 law perceptions: you can either try to comprehend new skills, or you can try to specialize in original skills.
The ratio of Asker's choice is 5:3, which is known as the golden ratio.
5 times to comprehend new skills, 3 times to master old skills, so as to take into account the breadth and depth of their own combat system.
Among them, the first law skill he intends to specialize in is naturally the signature of the law of war - "plunder".
Once mastered, Asker can "silently" loot anyone's Law Sequence, even the effects of supernatural items, while negating the plundered ability (enemies) or having no effect at all (allies).
The Pillage skill itself also consumes significantly less Spirit, so he can maintain more Pillager power on his body at the same time, and for a longer period of time.
Of course, mastering skills is not an easy task, and it takes a lot of trial and error. Krypton can solve this problem in the game world, but this world can only rely on the liver......
Asker sighed, and suddenly saw a shadow pass across the deck.
It's Nora.
Soon after the steamship departed, Nora successfully comprehended the second law skill, "selective inheritance", through understanding and thinking about future memories, in the daily accelerated upgrade plan of Hearthfire Island.
What the hell is this name? Nola's first skill seems to be called "cell proliferation", so the laws of evolution are all weird things......
Asker looked up at Nola, her shoulder blades had grown a pair of white, large, exaggerated wings, about twenty meters long, and she was constantly flapping and gliding through the air with beautiful movements, playing with the seagulls that surrounded the steamship.
Probably through psychological suggestion, the seagulls were not afraid of this strange "big bird" and chirped and played with her.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Eleanor came to his side, raised her palms to block the sunlight above, looked at Nora flying freely in the air, and muttered, "Like an angel......"
"She's quite suitable for this evolutionary law." Aske said with a smile, "However, your Law of Will should have a similar skill. β
"You mean armed with wills?" Eleanor pondered for a moment, "Yes, but my skills ...... Not as good as her in terms of functionality. β
"I just used my will to condense into wings, and my flight movements were rough and stiff, relying on brute force to flap to gain lift, and the spiritual consumption was also very great. And this skill of Nola...... Much better than me in terms of fine control and shape adjustments, don't you notice that she flies like a real bird? β
"That's true." Aske pondered, "How many of our team can fly now?" β
"Nola, evolved wings; I, the will mimics the wings. Eleanor slowly recalled, "Sheila, anti-gravity + airflow; Peggy, turn into a bat. β
"And then there's Mia's spatial teleportation, where Mi'er can pull out her companions from the parallel world, as well as your plundering skills, which can also be seen as flying to some extent."
"That's unexpected." Asker snorted, "So they can't fly yet, only Medea and Sidlifa are left?" β
"I guess so." Eleanor brushed away the blonde hair from the sea breeze and smiled, "What's the matter, are you going to give them special flight training?" β
"There's no need for that." "I'm just wondering, if our ship is attacked and sunk by a ghost fleet before we reach the Iberian Peninsula, who will have to swim to get over the rest of the distance?" β
"Hey, Asker......" Eleanor was speechless, "don't say such ominous things! β
"It's not a crow's mouth." Asker sighed, "I just feel a little wrong...... There was a faint sense of danger. β
"Something is wrong?" Eleanor was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted.
Intuitive sequence! So is it Asker's intuition sequence, perceiving that danger is coming?
At this moment, Mi'er also teleported out of the Hearthfire Island and said anxiously:
"Asker, in 3 minutes we may be hit by an air attack from the West!"
"Air strikes?" Aske was not surprised, "What is the specific enemy?" β
"Bone Dragon!" "A huge, spewing dark green smoke from a bone dragon! β
