Chapter 5: The Prototype of the Magician

"The fire is on the fireβ€”what's going on?!"

Kotor didn't seem to have expected a metal pocket watch that had been fine a few seconds ago to erupt into flames at this moment.

He took half a step back alertly, his eyes lifted up with his head, and he saw the fire-breathing pocket watch swirling in the air, and the strip-shaped tongue of fire also swirled in the air, decorating the whole swirling pocket watch into a spinning Hot Wheel!

Don't say it, since the fire is not too big, this unexpected scene really looks a bit like fireworks, although the colors are not gorgeous enough.

"Wow, that's spectacular!" Abel's helmet head was lifted by a small paw sticking out of it at this time, and Soros's black cat head was drilled out.

However, this scene of "setting off fireworks" has a different meaning in the eyes of the other team members, especially the sharp-thinking Crow Sparrow and Abel, who is a professional mage himself, can recognize at a glance that the tongue of fire spewing out from the dial of the pocket watch is like the plastic energy spell "Burning Hand" of the mage 1 ring!

But if you look closely, you can immediately notice that something is wrong, and there are differences with the 1-ring plastic spell called the Burning Hand, for example, the area of effect of the Burning Hand changes from narrow to wide, and the tongue of fire appears as a whip-like dancing strip.

Able watched the fire-breathing pocket watch almost rise to the highest point in mid-air and was about to fall, and then raised his steel finger to quickly make a set of gestures required to cast a spell, protecting the "disarming magic" of the 3 rings, and then extinguished the fire in this underground laboratory like a trick.

The flame-extinguishing metal pocket watch flew to its highest point and paused in mid-air, then fell to the ground with a thud that cracked through the metal shell and caused the two red stones on the dial to fall out of the crack and roll together.

"Koto! Are you okay? Thea was stunned for a moment, and then quickly lifted the emblem bracelet on her left wrist and took a step closer to the dwarven warrior, worried that he had just been burned by the fire-breathing pocket watch.

"I... All right! It's okay......" Koto shook his fingers and looked at the surface of the Mithril handarm's unscathed armor, and waited until the momentary surprise had passed, and he was not so afraid.

He wasn't injured at the time, but he didn't react at once, so he was frightened by something new that he hadn't seen before, and thought that the little girl's latest research results were about to explode again......

Koto's answer relieved the Wolf-Eared Priest Maiden, who was sure that her first healing technique of the day would not have to be handed over right away.

As the maker of the Spitfire pocket watch, Bellingis may not be the culprit of the accident, but she seemed to be standing on the side and stunned, and after a few seconds, as if she finally realized what had just happened, she immediately rushed forward and hugged the dwarven warrior and shouted, "Hooray!" Your Royal Highness, we succeeded! ”

"What, what succeeded? Girl? ”

"The experiment was successful!"

Koto subconsciously raised his shoulders and arms, lowered his gaze blankly, saw that she didn't know what the wind was pumping, opened his hands to hold his thick barrel waist like a tree stump, squinted his eyes like a kitten, and twisted and rubbed his little head with two blond ponytails through the armor he was wearing.

Stone Fist and Raven stood on the wall on one side of the room together, still maintaining his usual composure on the surface, but his heart was still shaken by the fact that he had been a few seconds ago. Although he was not a spellcaster, he maintained the composure of a warrior monk cultivator in the process, and then remembered what the dwarf girl had said to the dwarven warriors and young men at the beginning, "You don't know magic, do you?" ”

Neither Kotor nor Urs can do magic......

Urs had come to his senses now, and after witnessing the accident caused by Kotor with his companions, he took a deep breath and realized in his heart what a historic news story Berelith had made.

About the pocket watch that the little girl stuffed into the dwarf and her own hands, this kind of thing...... He remembered that at the end of the Sunset Expansion Pack, his previous life was indeed lucky enough to see him in the ruins of an NPC alchemist's workshop.

This is the prototype of the magic guide - a technologically advanced spell casting device, the biggest highlight is not to increase the wielder's casting power, but to use it to cast spells even if you don't know magic!

Quickly recalling the key information in his mind, the young man slowly clenched the metal pocket watch in his hand that had not yet been activated, turned to look at the little dwarf girl who was still playing on Koto and asked, "Belllith, how did you make this thing?" ”

"Huh? Oh, this. Hearing the captain's question, the little girl turned her face around, her thin eyes widened again, and the two little hands surrounding the dwarf were released, "Brother Urs, have you forgotten?" When you gave the Elemental Nucleus to Mr. Zeken to forge your sword, you gave it a small part, saying that it was for me to experiment with. ”

I haven't forgotten.

Urs remembers that he did this a few months ago, thinking that the little stone set in the dial was the elemental nucleus? After specially processed elemental crystal nucleus fragments, the two red ones on Koto's side are fire element crystal nuclei, and the two earthy yellow ones on his side are earth element crystal nuclei?

Guessing the magic materials used by the little girl, he believed that he should not be wrong, and then asked, "What about the principle of spellcasting?" ”

"This ......"

"Even if you explain, it's up to us whether you can understand or not."

"Okay then." The future Grand Magister shrugged her shoulders, "In that case, I'll give you a brief introduction to my new invention...... Although I had planned to do this first, if it weren't for the stupid prince being too anxious. ”

"Huh?"

Koto froze for a moment, unable to figure out the situation until now, his eyes blinking innocently under Mithril's helmet.

Leaving aside the confusion of the dwarven warriors for the time being, Bellingis went on to explain to the crowd how this embryonic stage magic guide could be used to successfully cast spells even if it was not capable of spellcasting.

She said that the notched straight line on the dial of this device is actually a "wire" connecting two elemental crystal nuclei, and when operating, only one person needs to stretch out his finger to press the first elemental crystal nucleus at the beginning, and then move along the wire to the other elemental crystal nucleus, and the elemental energy in the two crystal nuclei will communicate and combine under the connection of the wires, so that the effect of fusion and magic is released from the dial.

According to her vision, this novel spell-casting device still has many technical flaws, for example, the reason why it fell to the ground and broke just now is that the load capacity of the device is still too weak, and the magic energy generated by forcing the connection of two elemental crystal nuclei will be overloaded and damaged.

The little dwarf girl believes that as long as she continues to study this experiment in depth, these technical problems will be overcome one by one over time, and then there will be two, three, and four wires on the device...... There are more and more combinations that represent the interconnection between the elements.

At that point, CastaΓ±o's spellcasting methods will no longer be limited to traditional body movements and chanting. This innovative spellcasting device will bring innovative spell casting methods, and the different combinations of various elements will create more new spells with the concept of "formula" for ordinary people to use in the future.

Urs concentrated, patiently listened to her excitedly and proudly finish the above content, and took some time to digest the information in his mind, combined with the relevant information he knew in his previous life, and carefully considered it for a long time, then sighed lightly, half-crouched down and reached out to press her small shoulder and requested:

"Promise us, Bellinglis, don't rush to publish or disseminate this latest research result of yours in any form."

"Huh? Why? The little girl tilted her head, puzzled.

"Because the crystallization of your wisdom will cause you unexpected trouble, a lot." Raven Bird suddenly figured something out, and then interjected to say the next sentence for Urs, "Especially if the results of your research accidentally reach the ears of some jealous mages. ”

"Those mages will be jealous of my inventions?" Bellinglis quickly turned her head to look at Miss Drow Poet.

"No, what they will really envy is your talent, and the damage that your talent brings to them." Miss Poet shook her head, and then pointed out, "Think about it, if all the farmers in the fields were free to cast spells, what would the arrogant and pedantic conservative mages think? ”

"They ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Bellingis closed her mouth, and it seemed that she could tell from the raven that Urs was worried about something.

"Yes, Bellelis's new invention will break the monopoly authority of traditional mages on magical knowledge." Urs nodded, withdrew his hand from the little girl's shoulder, and explained to her, and also to the other companions who didn't realize this, "Not only that, if this kind of device that does not pick the qualification of casting spells can also be used by ordinary people to cast new spells with healing effects, then many religious forces in this world will probably not be very happy." ”

"So, what should I do?" Bellinglith suddenly became anxious, and her eyes reluctantly lowered her eyes to look down at the broken pocket watch that fell to the ground, "Should I destroy my new invention?" I didn't expect this to have such a serious knock-on effect......"

Her gaze suddenly became unwilling and aggrieved from the excitement not long ago, and even vaguely lost and gloomy.

Urs looked at her half-crouched, and though he thought Castano's old mages and religious forces were two factors that had to be carefully considered, it wasn't that he had raised these potential concerns with her to discourage her.

As a person with experience in a previous life, the young man agreed with the little girl's research, if there must be an analogy to describe it, it is to raise his hands and feet to support her idea from the bottom of his heart, so he smiled and touched her little head and replied: "No, you should continue your research, but it is better to ...... in a secret form"

"After all, how could the future Miss Archmage be stumped by such a small risk? Right? ”

After that, he didn't forget to put his hand down again and give a thumbs up to the little girl, expressing his sincere high praise for her.

When Belling Lisy heard the young man's words, she looked at the latter's thumbs up to herself with a little dazed eyes, hesitated for a long time in her mind, and then gritted her teeth and nodded firmly, saying:

"That's right...... The future Grand Magister will not be stumped by this little risk! ”

This lively little dwarf girl seemed to have a natural resistance to negative emotions, and as soon as Urs encouraged herself, she immediately regained her usual optimism and confidence on her little face, and the potential hostility of the so-called old mages and religious forces seemed to have become a paper tiger that was no big deal in the blink of an eye.

After motivating Bellingis to persist in her research, Urs was pleased with the little girl's reaction, and then stood up, ready to discuss something with his companions while everyone was there.

There is nothing to guess about that matter, but to put it bluntly, the current time is getting closer and closer to the Northland War in the memories of young people, and it is almost time for the squad that is still in the Underworld to prepare for the journey back to the surface. ()
