562. Human beings have limits
As the magician began to condense his magic power, the colorful robe on his body, which was more fancy than a big opera, also became automatic without wind, and the various magic circles drawn inside began to light up one by one, and the bracelets, necklaces, rings and other accessories on his body also began to glow.
In fact, strictly speaking, the set of equipment he is currently using is an unfinished semi-finished product, so there is no name, this is Bai Yi started to build for him ten years ago, and it has been tossed intermittently for ten years without being completed, but considering the design indicators of this set of equipment, it may never be completed.
Yes, the design standard of this set of equipment is to be able to cast forbidden spells without restrictions, that is, the Book of Surrender of All Worlds - Pseudo, this is after Bai Yi inherited the Book of Surrender of All Worlds, he felt that his old man could not be empty-handed, so he tried to create this set of pseudo-artifacts for him, during which quite a lot of Void Walkers were involved in the production process, including Xiao Miya, they all contributed to their efforts, and even warriors, assassin-type pigs and other guys who didn't know anything about magic have been kicked... I don't know what they're trying to do...
This leads to the excellent workmanship of this set of equipment, the complexity of the materials, I am afraid that the water is not clear in 10,000 words, even if it is only a semi-finished product, but it is also the strongest semi-finished product in the world.
However, the magician was not satisfied with the unfinished equipment, and complained about his student handing over the half-finished product to him.
"No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a place of trust for everyone, so you can make do with it..."These are the words that Bai Yi said when he handed over this set of equipment to the magician before he fell asleep.
"Humph! I'll just take it with difficulty. The magician replied coldly, and immediately put this set of equipment into a secret personal storage bag, in addition to this set of equipment, the rest of the bag was some gifts from Mia and Tisgaard when he was a child, and the cards and other things that he secretly collected later, inexplicably.
But these do not hinder the actual performance of this set of equipment, even in the unfinished state, some wizards like to use forbidden spells before their deaths can still be cast unconditionally, plus a variety of additional attribute amplification, its effectiveness will definitely not be bad in theory.
So the magician made do with the half-finished body, and gathered all the defenders to the city wall to watch them cast their spells.
And with the chanting of his incantation, three huge magic circles appeared on his chest, behind his back, and under his feet, and gradually changed from light blue to fiery red, and the soldiers on the sidelines could feel that there was an inexplicably powerful force flowing and converging in the air even if they did not have any magical cultivation, and even the temperature was gradually rising, as if they were being exposed to the scorching summer sun.
When the magician finished reciting the last syllable, the staff in his hand stomped the floor, and the three-sided circle that had completely turned into fiery red spread out in all directions, disappearing into the air at a rapid speed, and then... And then there is no more... Not even a sound.
The soldiers didn't see anything spectacular, the expected gorgeous visual effects didn't appear, and it seemed that the magic that had been brewing for a long time had disappeared so abruptly?
"Failed?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"Seems to be, right?" Someone whispered, "Maybe it's something that interferes with it?" Even the temperature has dropped..."
"It's a shame that I could see some great magic..."
"Huh? Look at the distance, is the sky a little red? ”
"Seems to be, right? But that's just a natural phenomenon of the rising sun, right? ”
The soldiers began to whisper and discuss, but the magician didn't care at all, he just silently looked at the footage sent back by the dragonfly-shaped puppet, and muttered in a low voice, "How can you get it so easily?" Looks like I overestimated them and deliberately used a version of the magic penetration enhancement..."
At this time, the baggage convoy that was leisurely rushing to the Divine Punishment Fort had been completely wiped out, they didn't notice anything unusual before, but they felt that the temperature around them suddenly began to rise, and then it was instantly vaporized, and the great plain they had traveled in peace and tranquility before, at this time, only a large charred pit remained, and no remnants of the convoy could be found, and even the stones on the surface were burned to ashes in an instant.
The magic used by the mage is not recorded in any books, it is a new type of magic independently developed by the Voidwalkers, and its effect is very simple to explain, it is to project an extremely hot fireball at the target location, this fireball will not explode or roll, that is, it will be suspended in place, emitting a deadly heat to the surroundings, and any nearby target will be vaporized instantly.
Other than that, there are no superfluous visual effects, and it can be said to be the most simple and unpretentious kind of magic, and it is even jokingly called the large lighting technique by Shiro.
But simplicity is not without losing simplicity, this is the kind of magic that is best used on the battlefield.
The magician named it 'Salary of the Stars of the Shocking Mountains', and I don't know where it stole the name, it sounds quite gorgeous? Maybe it's because the magic effect is so simple that the name is used to make up for it, right?
This upheaval happened too quickly, too suddenly, and too secretively, until Vice President Haydn, who was slowly moving towards the Divine Punishment Fortress in a luxurious carriage, detected the magic fluctuations and quickly activated the monitoring magic covering an entire supply line, and then he could only see the terrifying black land.
"Ahhhh Haydn cried out in a little panic, "Where's our supply convoy?" What about such a large convoy? ”
"The violent fluctuation just now, is it the enemy's magic attack?" Archbishop Austin, who was in the same carriage with him, also asked with some surprise, "Our supply convoy was wiped out in an instant?" ”
"It can't be! When pigs fly! Haydn suddenly shouted, "My heirloom, the all-seeing eye has not detected anything unusual, and it is impossible for the enemy to cross the layers of blockade of the Divine Punishment Fortress and get close enough to be able to cast powerful magic, not to mention that this entire supply line has been fully warned and prepared, and it is absolutely impossible to be attacked without warning!" ”
"Did the convoy carry any high-powered explosives? Could it be that something happened? One of Haydn's fellow staff members asked in a low voice.
"I don't know much about alchemy or anything like that, but is there anything in this world that can create such an effect in an instant?" The archbishop asked coldly.
He looked quite calm, as if he was not too distressed that such a large supply convoy was completely wiped out by the enemy, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly betrayed his true thoughts, it was hundreds of carriages! The grain and grass are fine, and the holy water and holy oil used to perform large-scale magic are the biggest losses, which are all important strategic materials that cannot be mass-produced; There are also those siege equipment, such large equipment is not like grain and grass that can be collected at will, and if it is gone, it will be gone.
"Your Excellency, there is no magic in this world that can escape such a dense and complete surveillance network as ours, and I do not believe that this is an enemy's magical attack." The staff member said calmly, in his cognition, this is a strange event that is absolutely impossible.
"So, could it be an enemy attack from the city?" The archbishop asked tentatively.
"Please don't question my magical skills, the enemy's dens are more than a dozen kilometers away from the supply convoy, and the current limit of human magic range is only five kilometers." Haydn said with great certainty.
"But that's the limit of humanity after all, those demons... It's not a human anymore, is it? The archbishop asked in a low voice.
"Even so, because it's an objective law." The staff member also insisted on this, in the perception of these association mages, his side represents the highest achievement in the field of magic, and is the leader at the forefront, even if there is an idol mage opposite, but it is still six thousand years old, and he has been imprisoned in isolation for six thousand years, he has long been outdated, he can't still study magic in that endless dark void land, right? In that terrifying and harsh environment, it is rare for him to be able to maintain the existence of his consciousness.
It's been so long since that product came out, have you ever handed in an academic paper? I don't even dare to register and certify with the association! How can his understanding and cognition of magic be compared to that of modern mages?
The mages of Haydn's faction generally think so, don't look at Bai Yi, he has handed in a few high-quality papers, and the students' academic attainments are quite good, but they don't think that this is an achievement that can be achieved in the void, but after they got out of trouble, they accidentally popped up after learning modern academic knowledge, this kind of flash of inspiration is not uncommon in the academic world, and it has little to do with the overall level of magic, and it is only the uninformed hillbilly like Grant that guy will regard that guy as a master.
"The only explanation for this is that they have pre-planted powerful magic traps in the path of the troops, which are extremely stealthy and can escape our detection." The pretentious Master Haydn racked his brains and came up with a plausible-sounding conjecture, "I have to admit that those demons are a bit crooked and clever, and I underestimated them a little. ”
"Their cleverness cost us a fifth of our supplies." The archbishop reminded coldly, and began to be a little dissatisfied with the inexplicable confidence of this product.
"It doesn't matter, I'll pull out their tails right away and let my people check every inch of land, this kind of small trick can play a little harassing role in the frontal battle." Master Haydn said confidently.
