Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mages and Enchantments
"Mage Olivia, how many mages have you come here this time?"
Norris enters the Legion headquarters and sees Locke standing in the middle talking to a mage in a blue-purple robe, so she stands aside and waits for the conversation to end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Norris looked at Locke, observing his every move.
Locke saw her as she entered, and smiled at her as he continued to communicate with the mage.
Norris pursed her lips, her gaze looking back to see a girl behind Locke in the armor and robes of a high-ranking officer.
Hey? Bridget? How did she come?
Bridget was looking herself up and down with her chest in her arms, her gaze aggressive, as if she wanted to pierce her own clothes, to see through the scenes.
Noriston's face was cold, and his eyes were staring straight at Bridget, and Bridget was not to be outdone, so the two looked at each other like this.
Norris knew that this guy was heavily influenced by his father, and he didn't like other races except humans, so he wouldn't give her a good face.
"Legion Leader, this time we have a total of 15 mage apprentices, 8 junior mages, and there are only two intermediate mages plus me." Mage Olivia reported to Locke.
The female mage was emaciated, her gray hair tied into a ponytail on the top of her head, and she looked to be about 35 years old.
In Locke's impression, the mage apprentice was once systematically evaluated as an ordinary template, a single profession below level 5. Beginner mages can reach around level 10, and their template is between rare and elite. Intermediate mages are at levels 15 and 11 below, and double cultivation spells are common.
After traveling for so long, Locke has gradually become familiar with the power system of this world, in this world there is no clear system for assessing strength, everyone is simply classified according to their own strength, such as junior high and senior, etc., if you have to compare it with the template for evaluating strength between systems, then it will be like this.
The ordinary template (level 1-5) corresponds to mage apprentices, trainee priests, reserve paladins, etc., these ordinary people who have just mastered their powers, as well as soldiers and priests at this stage, they are the largest group, most of them are stuck in this position all their lives, and they have no progress in their lives. Among them, the number of mage apprentices is the least, and the number of warriors is the largest, after all, the power of flesh and blood will be stimulated as long as they are practiced diligently, and mages must reserve a lot of knowledge as a basis to analyze the composition principles of some magic. And most of the knowledge is in the hands of the nobility, so this is also the reason why mages are scarce.
Rare templates (Levels 6-10) correspond to beginner mages, paladins who have just received the Light, official priests, and veterans who have just left the category of recruits on the battlefield. The people of this stage form the basis of all the power systems of the entire world of Azeroth, they are the cornerstones of all, and they either jump from this stage to the next or sink in this stage.
Elite Template (Level 10-15-20): Non-commissioned Officer (Officer), Intermediate Mage (Archmage), Intermediate Priest (High Priest), and Paladins who have officially joined the Silver Hand in the army. Compared to the entire world of Azeroth, this stage is scarce, and they are all elites in various ranges, and they constitute various management classes.
It should be noted that the difference in strength at this stage is very large, and the strength and various skills and knowledge of those who enter this stage for the first time are 4 to 5 times different from those who are about to step into the boss template at the end. And this also has a great impact on the quality of each person's talent.
Locke once conducted an experiment in which he had an elite soldier at level 12 test his body's durability against himself when he was still a rare elite template, and the elite soldier fell to the ground after holding out for 2 hours, while he himself lasted 10 hours.
Locke gradually realized that level 5 of the 10 levels is a hurdle, and the gap between them is huge!
Moreover, the Grand Inspector Ethan Lion and the Archmage Duane are both at this stage, they are both level 19, can you say that they belong to the same stage as the soldiers who have just entered this stage? Apparently not.
Here, too, the division of the rank of the soldier will reach its end. Further up is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Perhaps some powerful warriors can break through their own flesh and blood barriers and become powerful leaders, and some can become legends, while many more will stop here for life.
The boss template (level 20-25) is much less in this stage, and only a very small number of people can enter this stage. They have become big names in their respective fields, and ordinary worldly forces have rarely been able to influence them. For example, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, the archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light, the leader of some large organizations, etc.
The Legendary Template (level 26-30) is in the unknown stage, and in Locke's mind, it should be the leader of the faction and the leader of the large team dungeons in the previous game, the Gods of the Wilds.
The Demigod Template (Level 30-35) belongs to the unknown stage, the ancient god Yogsaron and so on.
Titan Template (??? Belongs to the unknown stage, the Titan of the Pantheon.
The rating system given by the system is quite perfect, which is also a problem that Locke himself has been studying in his daily life, but now that the system is gone, the system of these evaluation powers can only be explored by himself.
However, the strength evaluation level given by the system and one's own exploration are not absolute at all.
Just like these mages, they don't look at them as apprentices, or even low-level, with only common and rare templates, but they can use magic to change the form of matter, which can be used for a variety of purposes, and magic is not just about standing in the distance and throwing ice arrows and magic orbs.
When Locke was in Gallon, he heard about an apprentice mage after the war, and he was constantly casting simple little magic on the battlefield at the Scourge undead, strengthening the air current, and countering the bows and arrows fired by the Scourge Archer to make them less lethal. His actions proved to be correct, only a handful of soldiers died from direct fire from bows and arrows, and this enhanced air flow was usually just a small magic used to clear the air in the room, but it only increased the amount of mana output.
There are also a lot of small magic such as unleashing the mire spell on the route of the Scourge Legion's attack, softening the land, slowing down the movement speed of the Scourge Legion, and so on.
Compared to those mages who can simply release the ice ball, this is the right means of combat.
Therefore, the level of assessment is sometimes not necessarily accurate, and it is correct to use the power in your hands reasonably and use these mages well.
"Mage Olivia, can you get your mages to put magic on our soldiers' weapons?" Locke asked expectantly, if all the soldiers' weapons could be enchanted, it would greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Legion.
Mage Olivia frowned and thought for a moment, then she raised her head and said, "Legionnaire, you may not know about our mage's enchantment process. ”
"First of all, we need herbs to grind them into potions. Our mages will then use these potions to carve magic circles on these weapons, allowing them to draw free elements from the air themselves, and eventually when the soldiers attack with weapons, these magic circles will continuously draw elemental energy from the air to kill and injure our enemies. ”
Mage Olivia smiled wryly, then continued, "Legionnaire, it may sound like it sounds simple, so I'm here to tell you what to pay attention to. ”
"It should be noted that this requires a very high level of enchantment from the mages in the first place, and if the engraving circle is not very accurate and complete, then the engraving will fail. The slightest lack of concentration in the process of depiction will lead to the failure of the circle depiction. Again, the cost of the mage's spirit is very huge, if the mage's spirit is not strong enough, he will not last until the enchantment is completed, and eventually the enchantment will fail. ”
"So, among our group of mages, only me and another intermediate mage, Claire, can barely enchant weapons."
"Secondly, there are also great requirements for the weapons to be enchanted, not just a weapon can be attached to magic, some metals will repel magic, and weapons that are not completely forged will not be able to withstand the energy of magic, and the weapon will be swallowed by the violent magic energy in an instant."
"If you want to enchant a weapon, it must first be crafted. Secondly, it is best to have the rare metals above Mithril blended, which have the best magic channeling properties. ”
"And the main thing is that a lot of herbs are needed. From the basic Tranquility Flower and Silver Leaf Grass, to the Demon Emperor Grass and Graveyard Moss, etc., etc., the amount of these herbs is huge! After grinding hundreds of herbs each time, there is only such a small amount. ”
From the magic bag on his waist, Mage Olivia pulled out a small bottle, the bottle was only half the size of a palm, and contained a thick black liquid.
"Just one bottle would cost dozens of gold coins, and it could only enchant no more than 10 weapons."
Mage Olivia said, flipping over the vial.
"Also, the magic of enchantment is different, and the herbs needed are different, so—" Mage Olivia stopped talking and looked up at Locke.
"If we were to enchant all of our soldiers' weapons, it would require a lot of herbs, and there would be a lot of variety. There are a lot of mages, even if the magic city of Dalaran still exists, and the mages there can't tell you exactly the exact time. ”
"So, Legion Commander, do you still want to enchant the soldiers?"
Locke shook his head with a wry smile, "Okay, Mage Olivia. I thought the enchantment was too simple. ”
It's really simple, as long as the materials are enough in the game, just rub your hands together. And I didn't see that it was very difficult for Duane to enchant himself, the set of magic attached to his armor was indeed very practical to use, and he had never felt stuffy and uncomfortable since he wore it.
Through the crack in the window, a piece of white paper, flapping its wings, came in from the outside, and it circled around Mage Olivia twice before landing on her hand.
Olivia Mage looked up at Locke, who motioned for her to be casual.
She picked it up and looked at it, and after a while she whispered a quick incantation to the letter that Locke did not understand, and then the letter slowly flapped its wings and flew out of the window.
"I'm sorry, Legion Commander, I'm going out to deal with some mages, please allow me to get out of here first." Mage Olivia bowed and said.
"Mage Olivia, please, if there is any military intelligence, I will send someone to invite you over."
