Chapter 47: Spellcasting Genius
The caravan's hostess's expression softened slightly.
She stretched out her hand and beckoned to Vivien, as if because this help had brought her a lot closer, and the little girl walked over very obediently.
"You go to the hall first."
The caravan hostess reached out and stroked Vivien's little head, and said softly, "I have something to talk to your brother about. ”
Vivien glanced back at Sauron, nodded at him before leaving.
"Sauron!"
The caravan hostess watched Vivien walk out, and only after she left did she sternly say, "I want to know if anything special happened to you in the past." ”
"Vivien's talent is extraordinary, the ability to awaken spells at such a young age."
"It's hard to gauge what she will achieve in the future!"
Sauron glanced at her, shook his head slightly, and said slowly, "I'm sorry. There's nothing special to tell you. Vivien and I were orphans at a very young age, and our lives were no different from the paupers you've ever seen. ”
Orphan?
The caravan's hostess softened slightly, and then said, "It is impossible that nothing has happened. ”
"The first time a warlock awakens his mana, he often experiences a lot of emotional fluctuations, and something special must have happened to awaken Vivien's power."
Sauron was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Is it something special?" ”
"I once met a wizard on a mission, and I was very injured at that time and lay in bed for more than half a month."
"It may be that my life should not be broken, so I slowly got better."
The caravan hostess looked at him and said to herself, "Is that so? She cares about you very much, and if you are really injured and your life is endangered, it is indeed very likely to awaken her latent power. ”
"Vivien is too small."
"As she grows older, her power will become stronger, and if she doesn't know how to control this power, she is very likely to hurt other people, and may even have a lot of destructive power. You're not a wizard and can't appreciate her talent, she's a spellcasting genius, and even my mother can't be more gifted than her. ”
Spellcasting genius?
When Sauron heard these four words, he was suddenly shocked, and he secretly said in his heart, "Could it be that Vivien has the talent and expertise of [Spellcasting Genius]?" ”
This is the caster's most powerful talent specialty.
If Sauron is not mistaken, anyone who has the [Casting Genius] specialty can use any spell to gain a 2-point spell strength bonus, and at the same time, casting any spell can shorten the time by 1 second, which means that all spells with a cast time of less than one second, anyone with this talent and expertise can directly instantaneous.
"Level 0 spells also seem to have more than a second of cast time."
Sauron seemed to remember something, and some images flashed through his mind: "But Vivien seems to have activated it just after reciting the spell, as if it was really an instantaneous spell?" ”
The spells of level 0 spells are very short, only one or two monosyllables, and it doesn't take more than a second to recite them.
If you don't have special spell-casting expertise, you also need to condense the elemental energy, Sauron doesn't know much about spells, so he doesn't feel whether the spell is instantaneous, but the Northland witch in front of him can definitely judge it. In other words, Vivien, the spellcasting genius she said, may really have the talent and expertise of [Spellcasting Genius].
This specialty is a special ability that cannot be mastered through guò training!
The caster of any class can increase the spell power by 1 point per class level, based on 10 attributes, and can increase the spell power by 1 point for every two main attributes increased. In other words, if a class level 5 wizard has 16 intelligence, then the strength of any spell he casts will gain a bonus value of [5+(16-10)/2=8].
The so-called magic power is actually a quantity, a unit of calculation handed down from the arcane period.
For example, the level 0 spell 'Lightning Shock' only generates 3 points of electrical energy, but if it is cast by the level 5 wizard above, the maximum burst of arc energy can reach 11 points. If an arc of this strength is applied to an ordinary person, then it can be fatal directly, because the health of an ordinary person is only about 10 points. But if it is applied to the body of a professional, then it will inevitably be exempted from the strength of the physique, and the damage caused may only be about 5-8 points.
If you add to this the fact that the professionals are already very strong, then they can actually only cause a relatively small amount of electric shock damage.
It's like an ordinary person touching a high-voltage electricity.
Here are Vivien's abilities.
If she really has the specialty of [Casting Genius], then she also casts a level 0 'Lightning Shock', and the strength of the condensed lightning energy can get a bonus of [1+2+(21-10)/2=8.5], which is a little stronger than a wizard of class level 5, and this is only her level 1 Warlock level.
As her career level increases in the future, this gap will become bigger and bigger, especially after learning the [Death Finger] class to directly rely on the opponent's tenacity immunity to determine whether she will be killed directly. Wizards have many spells that do not directly cause damage, such as spider webs, seducing humans, controlling zhì techniques, etc., whether these spells can be successfully cast or not depends on the wizard's casting strength and the strong will to withstand the spell target itself.
Under normal circumstances, a legendary wizard's spell power is only about 30 points.
Spell power from 20 class levels, spell strength from around 8 intelligence, and a small amount of spell power from some special specializations.
If you have Legendary-level equipment, you may increase your spell power by 1-3.
That's why the [Casting Genius] specialty will surprise Sauron so much, not to mention that if Vivien masters the [Skilled Spellcasting] specialty in the future, she can increase the cast time by 1 second again.
At that time, all the spells cast in less than two seconds, she could directly instantaneously send them out!
………………
There was a brief silence.
The caravan mistress glanced at Sauron and continued, "Before you arrived, I performed a divination ritual for Vivien and saw something that wasn't very good. ”
Divination?
A branch of prophecy spells?
It seems to be the ability of the Northland Witch to predict the vague phenomenon of someone's future.
But it's impossible to be as clear as it is, because even the legendary-level 'prophecy' can only see a certain fragment of the picture.
Very ephemeral and shifting from the moment the prophecy was fulfilled.
The farther away the time period, the greater the deviation of the prophesied things, and the biggest role of prophecy spells is to predict the recent blessings and misfortunes, which can allow you to avoid some dangerous things or some dangerous places in advance. This is the reason why the Northland Witch suddenly left Amber City early, because she sensed something dangerous about what would happen to Amber City while performing her divination, and it was likely that this kind of thing could not be changed with her strength.
Sauron took a deep breath and said slowly, "What do you see?" ”
"Blood and fire." The caravan hostess said seriously.
She glanced deeply at Sauron in front of her, and said with a stern expression: "The prophecy can only feel the future from some fragments and pictures, blood represents killing and death, which means that Vivien will always have death around her in the future." Fire represents war and ruin, which means that she will experience many things that will bring ruin miè in the future. ”
"I don't know what's so special about her, but the trajectory of fate has doomed her to be ordinary in the future"
"In the divination of the witches of the Northlands, only a few people have such a vision, some of them have become the founding kings, some have become evil tyrants, and some have become legendary beings."
"These people, whether they are evil or righteous, seem to have a journey of life full of killing and death."
The caravan mistress took a deep breath and said slowly, "Vivien's future path is not destined to be peaceful, and your ability is simply not possible to protect her all the time. ”
"With all due respect, you seem to have been afraid of something!"
"I don't know what you're afraid of, but I can feel that you're running away, running away from any danger that might exist."
"Including me."
"Maybe that's why you never believed me."
Silent.
Sauron fell silent.
Afraid?
Maybe it's really scared.
It is precisely because I care so much about her that I am very scared and afraid of losing her.
Evade?
Are you really running away?
Sauron knows all too well how many terrible things will happen in the coming turbulent year. Gods and demons have torn the sky and the earth apart, and in this unprecedented catastrophe, legendary professionals can be wiped out like chickens and dogs! Shouldn't he, a thief of the second order, escape this qiē?
It was a war between the gods!
Even a Legendary-level professional only has a qualification to enter.
There are as many saints as dogs, and lichs are everywhere.
I don't even have the qualifications to fight them, so is I just waiting there for the ruins that may come?
Even when death comes, you don't even know where the enemy is!
If not gone.
Under the 'meteor explosion' of Amber City's ruined miè, will they be wiped out like ants!?
The woman in front of her didn't know at all.
She had no idea what was coming, what a terrible catastrophe it would cause! Because even a legendary-level witch could not have foreseen the coming turbulent times. In front of the gods, mortals are so powerless, and millions of players can't stop things back then, can he change it with just one person?
What else can he do besides staying away from this qiē and waiting for the opportunity to accumulate strength?
"Yes."
Sauron slowly raised his head, glanced at the caravan hostess in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I am afraid and evading some things, because some things cannot be changed by manpower. ”
"I don't trust you either."
"Although you seem to like Vivien, everything you say is high!"
"I may be weak now, but I won't be weak forever."
"I know what you're trying to say."
"I'm not going to let Vivien leave me, because I can protect her with my life, but you can't. You're more concerned about Vivien's talent, and if she doesn't have it, she's just an ordinary little girl to you. But for me, whether Vivien is talented or not, she is my dearest person, and the only person I have in this world. ”
"You said I couldn't believe you."
"Yes."
"Because you haven't even told me your name until now, maybe in your eyes I don't have the right to know your name at all, and you just want to keep her by your side out of curiosity. I am very grateful to you for taking us all the way to Whitehorse, and even more so for helping you today, and I will definitely find a way to repay you in the future. You're a benevolent and kind witch, otherwise you wouldn't have to tell me so much with your powers, a few simple spells would have done the trick. ”
"I'm so grateful to you!"
Sauron bowed deeply and walked out the door.
"Wait a minute."
The caravan hostess stood up, she stared at Sauron in front of her, and sighed softly when she saw the other party's unyielding gaze, because she knew that there were some things that the man in front of her would really defend with his life! That's what caught her attention in the first place, allowing her to discover Vivienne's talent.
A sincere and distant emotion.
She walked slowly in front of Sauron, looking at the weak but determined man in front of her, and for the first time felt that he had the qualifications to talk to her on an equal footing. This qualification is not brought by strength, but simply because he cares so much about that little girl.
The caravan mistress sighed faintly, "Spells can't solve all problems. ”
"The abusive power of transition will only disorient oneself!"
"My name is Goliath."
"Maybe you can let her stay with me for a while and learn some useful spells, which will be very helpful for her in the future."
A white palm stretched out, and for the first time, the caravan's mistress spoke to him as an equal.
Her name is Goliath.
She is a powerful Northland witch, a man who can be wiped out in front of her eyes, and has won her respect with her firm faith and sincere feelings.
