Chapter 56: The Wizard's Ring
Sauron waited a long time beside him.
It wasn't until he was sure that the wizard was completely gone, and then he walked towards the corpses of the gray dwarves, who should have something of value on them. Although the high-ranking master is not eye-catching, he is a little thief and has a sister to support, so naturally the more money, the better. In the future, the little girl will have a lot of places to spend money, so she will have to prepare some savings. Besides, if you really want to spend money freely, a set of low-level transcendent equipment will require more than 3,000 Jindler.
There was blood all over the ground, and it seemed that the marks were also a sudden battle.
"Inside bar?"
Sauron looked at the footprints nearby, frowned and said to himself, "It looks like they were peers at first, and I don't know why they suddenly started fighting." ”
The footprints left on the periphery were neat, as if a group of people were guarding something.
The footprints behind began to become chaotic, and when people ran and sprinted with all their might, they were naturally different from the footprints left by walking, and Sauron tried to restore the initial picture in his mind, and could only vaguely judge that it was the gray dwarf who suddenly attacked. Because there are traces of second-order warriors charging on the ground, they stimulate their potential in a short period of time, bursting out at an astonishing speed, and ordinary fighters can also reach the level of Olympic champions.
"What is this?"
Sauron reached out and picked up a fragment, then opened three corpses to find a gray dwarf with a hole in his chest and a corroded wound.
"Strong acid arrows?"
Sauron carefully took off the ring on the corpse's finger, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he muttered, "It turns out that they also brought the magic master, but they were killed in seconds at the first time!" ”
There is a wizard in the gray dwarf's ranks.
However, the strength is only second-order, about a fifth-level wizard, it may be that the incident happened suddenly at the beginning, and before he could react, he was killed by a high-level wizard with a strong acid arrow. Sauron picked up the ring and stroked it, a faint spell glow appeared on it, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious, because it was a low-level wizard's ring, which could additionally store 1-2 level of memory spells.
"Worth at least 1,200 kindlers!"
Sauron put away the ring and continued to rummage through the corpse of the gray dwarf wizard, and said to himself: "I didn't even touch the corpse of my companion, otherwise he was very rich and didn't care, or there was something very important that could not be delayed." ”
"What else is happening during this time?"
"Damn it!"
"Why didn't I pay much attention to the situation at that time?"
Sauron quickly turned out a dimensional bag, which was also a low-level dimensional bag, and although the second-level wizard was not cheap, he had not yet entered the ranks of local tyrants. There was a lot of stuff in it, and it didn't seem to be of much value, but there was one thing that Sauron wanted so much.
That's it—the spell book!
The Grey Dwarf Wizard's Spell Book is a thick black book with mysterious runes engraved on the outside, it will not be damaged due to natural causes and will remain there for quite some time. Sauron flipped the page, and it was filled with dense symbols, many of which he knew at all, because he did not have the basic expertise of 'arcane text recognition', he could only judge the spells copied on it based on experience.
The first spell is 'Giant Magic'.
Doubles the size of a mob and increases its strength by 2, but reduces agility by 2.
If you have the Hypermagic specialty, this spell can also be applied locally to double the size of something. Of course, this effect is not studied by the aborigines of the plot, but a certain guy with a bad mind spent a lot of time to create the ability to create zào through the combination of some super magic specialties, and it can also be used in conjunction with the 'shrinking technique'.
The second spell is the 'Arcane Missile'.
This is one of the most common spells used by wizards, as it only has a cast time of one second.
There are one or two spells recorded later that Sauron doesn't recognize, but most of them still remember, which are Enchanting Humans, Burning Hands, Colorful Spray, Mage Armor, Shields, Cobwebs, Brute Force, and Flame Arrows.
Each spell was recorded on more than a dozen sheets of paper, and of course it was not a spell to write so long.
There are also many patterns on it, some of which are even three-dimensional patterns.
This is the legendary spell model, after the wizards have copied the spells into the spell book, they will analyze and construct them for a period of time, not that they will be used if they are simply copied up. Depending on their talent and intelligence, it takes a short time for a wizard to understand them, and then construct a spell model in his brain, and eventually perceive and connect to the magic web to form a spell bit to record it. The memories of this spell model are stored in the zài brain, and after the spell is cast, the power that can be gathered by the magic net is consumed, and then they need to memorize the spell model again.
A simple analogy.
A spell model composed of wizards is like a bullet that needs to be loaded into the spell slot created by the magic web.
This bullet was missed.
Then the spell model is gone, and you'll need to go through the spell book to memorize it again, unless your talent is so good that you don't rely on notes to recall an incomparably complex integrated circuit board. There can't be a trace of mistakes in this process of reconstructing the spell model, and if it is wrong, it will lead to a spell backlash, and the more advanced the spell backlash, the stricter the zhòng, and it may blow your head out in an instant.
In Sauron's memory, it seems that there are not many people other than advanced arcanists who can re-memorize spells without relying on spell books.
Arcanists have a lot of 25 intelligence, which is equivalent to a biocomputer.
The memory of ordinary people, even the best wizards, is difficult to achieve, so they must carry a spell book with them.
The mastery of spells is very slow, and it takes half a month for a wizard with an intelligence of about 18 points to learn the first ring of spells. However, after learning it, it is much easier to memorize, they only need to spend a period of time meditating after casting a spell, and then they can reconstruct a spell model. Therefore, the number of spells that wizards themselves learn is also limited, and generally high-level wizards will master a lot of spells, and low-level wizards will master very few spells.
Only wizards in the Legendary Realm have enough time and energy to collect more spells.
"What is this?"
Sauron pulled out a special roll of paper, opened it and glanced at it, and quickly put it away.
It has the sign of three tentacles on it.
If he remembered correctly, it should have been the 'Shadow Black Tentacles', a four-ring spell that could summon three energy tentacles to bind and entangle enemies. The fact that the Grey Dwarf wizard did not copy it into the spell book means that he may only be a wizard below level seven.
The value of the master is really high!
Sauron counted what he had found by touching the corpse, and the value of it was more than two thousand kindlers.
"Whew!"
Just as Sauron was happily rummaging through the other corpses and finding out all the valuable things, a wolf howl suddenly came from the distance. He picked up speed, packed the stuff into the dimensional bag he had just discovered, and came to the corpses of the gray dwarves with primitive guns.
"It turned out to be a musket with stone projectiles."
He picked up an alchemy weapon and weighed it, and then stuffed it into the dimensional bag, this musket was as thick as an adult's arm, and it was made of polished and smooth stone projectiles, which was a relatively low-level alchemy firearm, and some dwarves would be equipped with it. Because of the primitive process, both the range and the accuracy are relatively average, and the speed of firing is not fast, and sometimes the power is not as good as the strong crossbow and longbow, especially the longbow of some human-like races, the effective range reaches more than 300 meters, and it can penetrate half a centimeter thick steel plate, which is just like a sniper rifle.
The level of craftsmanship of this primitive musket is similar to that of the eighteenth century.
There are better muskets in the hands of the gnomes of Toldery, and because of their physical inferiority, these small creatures are very attached to the study of alchemy.
It's a pity that this weapon can't deal with a black dragon with a creature level 24, and in the end, the entire city is destroyed under the dragon's breath.
It is estimated that it will happen a year later.
The howls of the wolves were getting closer, and Sauron hurried to clean up the battlefield and approached the location of the road.
He didn't want to face a pack of wolves right now.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and many wilderness creatures are starting to move, and I don't know how many carnivorous creatures will be attracted by the smell of blood here.
As Sauron left, he saw a pair of dark green pupils in the woods.
That's a gnoll scout!
They can smell blood within a kilometer range, disperse their actions while hunting, and call their companions with a special sound when they find their prey.
There's going to be a party here tonight, so it's better to stay away from them.
