114 A First Look at Sattar
After sending Tovdil away, Sawyer put aside the study of spells for a while, and instead studied the books on awakening in bed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were three books that Tovdil had brought with him, a thin "Overview of Awakening", a tome "A Detailed Explanation of the Principles of Awakening", and an anonymous notebook.
The first Sawyer flipped through it and put it down, there was not much useful knowledge in it, and it was all in the knowledge that Serua gave him, but there were many more examples.
Sawyer read the second book for a week, and only opened the last notebook after he was sure that he had eaten the whole book.
The notes were very new, whether they were covers, paper, or handwriting, and were supposed to have been copied by Tovdill in the Vault, presumably from some book that could not be borrowed.
However, the contents of the note made Sawyer frown, but as he slowly flipped through the note, an expression of ecstasy slowly crawled all over Sawyer's face.
The notes are recorded in a special direction of awakening, and the awakening is divided into two levels in the "Awakening Away from Detailed Explanation", "Qi" is classified as ordinary awakening, and "Arrow Spirit" and "Sword Intent" are classified as specialized awakenings, but in Sawyer's opinion, the awakening methods recorded in the notes are more advanced.
Sawyer learned from the "Detailed Explanation" that there is a huge gap between ordinary awakening and specialization awakening, there is no bias in ordinary awakening, the bonus is the same in all aspects, and there is no shortcoming, while specialization awakening is specialized in one or two directions, and the bonus in the specialization direction is extremely high, but other aspects are shortcomings.
It seems that ordinary awakenings seem to be more balanced and adaptable, but they are not.
If the bonus of Normal Awakening is counted as 10, then the bonus of Awakening to the Concentration direction is more than 50, and the bonus of a single Awakening can even reach 100!
And what about the direction of the short board?
The so-called shortcomings are actually only relative, and the bonus of specialization awakening to non-specialization is at least 20 or more, even if it is a short board, it has an absolute advantage over ordinary awakening, not to mention the direction of specialization.
However, according to the notes, even if the bonus of this awakening method is more than 50, the maximum bonus can reach 80 depending on the Awakened person's physique, awakening sacrifice and awakening degree!
Powerful!
Sawyer's intuitive impression of the way of awakening recorded in the notes was only two words, powerful.
The method of awakening described in the note is called the "Voice of the Walker", and after awakening, three complementary energies are formed in the body, namely "Sword Singing", "Drum Sound", and "Wind Sound".
"Sword Song" is like the literal meaning, the bonus direction is sharp, if the energy is blessed on the long sword, the long sword will make a special tone when it cuts through the air, as if someone is chanting softly, and in the third stage of awakening, it will even have an illusion-like effect, affecting the state of the people around it.
The direction of the "drum sound" bonus is dexterity, biased towards dodging, and the footwork is like a drum beat between walks, if there is a special footwork, the "drum sound" will also have a certain bonus to the footwork effect, and in the late awakening, it can improve the dodge of the surrounding companions, and at the same time disrupt the enemy's pace.
"Wind Sound" is a special bonus to the bow and arrow, mainly to enhance the penetration of arrows, and at the same time will reduce the sound of arrows, so that the arrows are hidden in the wind, and the speed of the arrows will be increased in the middle and late stages of awakening, and the power of the arrows will be enhanced.
"Tailor-made!"
After a cursory look at the entire notebook, there are only these four words left in Sawyer's heart, archery, dexterity, and swordsmanship, the three bonuses correspond to Sawyer's strengths, maximizing his strength.
However, strength comes at a cost, and Awakening the Voice of the Walker not only requires more precious materials to build an altar, but also requires higher sacrifices, including sandalwood bows, elven arrows, and elven swords.
If Sawyer can perfectly awaken the "Voice of the Walker", the sandalwood bow and elven arrows will be completely destroyed, and the elven longsword will also be damaged beyond repair, and may even fall to the rank of [Ancient Legend].
However, between weapons and his own strength, Sawyer still chose the latter, but after feeling a little distressed about his top-level equipment, he continued to study the notes.
Three days later, Sawyer imprinted the entire notebook in his brain before continuing his previous study of the basics of spells.
Just when Sawyer thought that he would continue to learn about magic until the seventh day of the Morning Star Moon, he was interrupted by the last academy event of the year.
"Sawyer! Come out, we're going to the excavation site! ”
A Brighton imp suddenly opened Sawyer's door and screamed to interrupt Sawyer's learning.
He is Sawyer's classmate Thornton in the Change Department, a 12-year-old Brighton guy from High Rock Province, who is quite talented in the change system weapon enhancement specialty, and after less than half a year of study, this little guy can skillfully cast flame enhancement.
You must know that at this time, most of the other students are still learning all kinds of basic spell knowledge, at most a few types of spells, and this kind of apprentice spell will not be taught by the instructor as a compulsory course until the second year.
In addition to weapon enhancements, Thornton's summoning spell is also good, which can quickly summon a wolf spirit to protect himself from becoming a soft persimmon on the battlefield.
However, the "excavation site" that Thornton just mentioned seems to be somewhat familiar?
Sawya frowned, and quickly thought of an answer: "Sattar? ”
"Hey, that's right! It's Sattar! Thornton smiled, his face full of excitement: "The instructors finally allowed our junior students to enter!" ”
Sawyer then remembered that the excavation of Sattar had been going on for several years at the Winter Castle Academy, so to speak, before Sawyer crossed over.
However, before that, the Sattar ruins were full of all kinds of beasts and ghouls, and for the purpose of protection, the instructors of the academy did not allow the junior students to enter the sattar ruins, but today they suddenly changed their attitude for some reason.
"Ahra, don't think about it, I'll explain it to you on the way."
Thornton was an impatient, pulling Sawyer's sleeve and leaving, Sawa couldn't resist him, so he had to follow him to the stairs.
On the way downstairs, Thornton explained to Sawyer that the excavation of the ruins had to be stopped due to the weather, and after the senior students had swept the excavated area, the academy finally determined the safety of the ruins, and only then did the first-year students be allowed to conduct a two-day "visit" for the purpose of teaching practice.
"Visiting, Teaching and Practice......"
Sawyer pursed his lips, it seemed that according to the development of the plot, the discovery of the Eye of Magnus was a new teaching practice, or a team led by Sawyer's master, Tovdil......
"Thornton, which mentor is leading the team this time?"
"Lead the mentor?" Thornton scratched his head and staggered.
"Forget it, when I didn't ask."
Sawyer pouted again, and immediately saw that Thornton, an anxious guy, didn't care about such a "trivial matter" as leading the team mentor.
After the two of them came all the way to the courtyard, Sawyer breathed a sigh of relief, the mentor who led the team was not Tovdil, but just an ordinary instructor of the Department of Change, I heard that he had just graduated a few years ago, and his name seemed to be "Brandon" or "Brady"?
Sawyer doesn't remember clearly, this instructor teaches the Combat Auxiliary Major of the Change Department, and neither Sawyer nor Thornton has heard his class, so they are not very familiar with it.
Sawyer and the others were probably the last to arrive, and when the mentor saw them, he said, "Everyone is here, let's go." ”
After speaking, the instructor paused his staff, and immediately created a super-large cold cloak, or cold barrier, with a radius of ten meters, enveloping all fifty-seven students.
There had been no fighting on the road from Wintercastle to Sattar, after all, the senior cadets had already swept along this road dozens of times before them, and the nearby beasts and monsters had long regarded this route as a forbidden place.
After a long day of snow trekking, the young cadets finally arrived at the sattar ruins.
As one of the earliest cities of the Nords ((1)), Sattar has been buried deep underground in thousands of years of evolution, and it took several years for the academy to dig out the gate of the Sattar ruins after determining the specific location of Sattar, and the real excavation work has only begun less than half a year.
The excavation did not go smoothly, and in addition to the attitude of careful excavation of historical relics, the endless number of underground creatures and ghouls also greatly hindered the excavation work.
Before the academy sent senior students to protect the laborers, dozens of workers were buried in the ground, so that when the workers were recruited in the later period, the academy raised their salaries in time, and few people responded.
For safety reasons, the instructor did not bring the students directly into the ruins, but arranged Sawa and others on the construction site outside the ruins, and the excavation workers were temporarily dismissed more than half a month ago, leaving the tents just for the students to spend the night.
The students were arranged in different areas according to different departments, and after dinner, Sawa was about to go back to the tent to sleep, but was stopped by Philina.
"Huh?"
Sawa turned her head to look at Filina, but the cute girl didn't answer, just looked at Sawa with a pitiful face.
Sawyer slapped his head, and then remembered that since this year's student majoring in enchantment was only Phirina alone, he ......
"Let's go."
Sawyer patted Filina's hair, held Filina's small hand with her backhand and walked to the area of the enchantment system, Filina blushed and followed Sawyer with her head bowed without saying a word.
In the enchanted tent, there was no word all night......
(1) Sattar, built by Isgramo and his companions (part of the Five Hundred Heroes), built between about 4,800 and 5,000 years ago, before being burned down by the Snow Elves (who were not blind at the time, but were miserably bullied by the Nords).
It is impossible to determine that Sattar was the first city ever founded by the Nord, as cities such as Labrincian appeared during the same period, and there is no detailed documentation of the exact date of its establishment.
