114 Some Small Talk about the Spellcaster (Part 2)

In the carriage of the Agni Three, questions about Amelia's combat prowess are being discussed.

"Miss Mint, I remember you said that spell-casting professions rarely go directly to the front line, right?" Agni asked.

"That's right, at least in Elontheo, mages rarely follow a team on expeditions." Minter said.

"In this way, Amelia is also a forerunner!" Agni looked at Amelia, who was sitting on the side dangling her legs, this time when she went out, the little girl looked very excited, not at all like her usual calm appearance.

"It's not the first batch of actual combat mages, but if you want to say the forerunners, that's right." Minter reached out and put his arm around Amelia's shoulders and took her in his arms.

Agni had long doubts about this, so he asked, "I don't think the scale of the Mage Guild is much smaller than the Swordsman Guild, why are there so few actual mages?" No matter how difficult it is to cast spells, there should be a considerable amount of them under the huge base! ”

Even Agni himself has mastered a trick that can be used to attack, which shows that fighting with spells is not so difficult. And in the battle of Eloncio, he has also seen a lot of players who can use attack spells, and it stands to reason that mages who can enter the wild should not be so rare.

"And, isn't there a trick to a slingshot?"

Hearing this, Amelia couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Being able to use spells, being able to fight with spells, and being able to use spells to fight in the field are completely three issues. It can also be said that the mage class must solve these three problems in order to become a true warrior. ”

Agni nodded, then made a deaf gesture.

Amelia continued, "For Warfighter Mages and Native Mages, the biggest difference between the two is the difference in worldview. For the warfighters or players, most of our knowledge of the world is materialistic - or what you see is what you get.

We are accustomed to living in a three-dimensional world, and most of the phenomena we see with the naked eye can be explained by our scientific system.

However, not for Indigenous mages.

Once the natives become mage apprenticesβ€”this is about the time they were between ten and twelve years oldβ€”they can see and feel much more than just what they see, the physical world is only a small part of the world for them, and they spend more time experiencing the wider higher dimensional world! ”

Agni nodded a little knowingly, and said: "In other words, in fact, from the ethnic point of view, there is no essential difference between players and aborigines, and the reason why mage players are far inferior to aboriginal mage apprentices is because they have been in contact with the spell world since childhood?" ”

Amelia tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "It's not entirely true, but it's okay to understand it this way. However, even if it is not a mage class, the natives are faster at learning combat skills than the player. Why is it that more than 90% of players are still below LV10 after half a year of the opening of "Phantom Arms"? It's just that the difference in world view makes it difficult for most people to learn combat skills. ”

"Is that so?" Agni scratched his head, "I don't feel anything......"

When Agni said this, Minte smiled and reached out to pinch his cheek, and then invited credit: "You can learn so fast because of a smart guide like me!" ”

Seeing that Agni was forced to make a grimace, Amelia covered her mouth and laughed, and then she continued, "There are always some people who are naturally one step ahead in certain areas, and Brother Agni is the same. The same goes for the entire Black Tulip Brigade. Brother Agni has been in this environment since he entered this world, so he doesn't feel anything. But for ordinary players, every time they raise a level and every skill they learn, it is not easy. ”

Speaking of this, Agni had a new question: "Although I said that, Amelia, you have also developed a trick like a spell slingshot, even if I don't understand the principle of spells, I can use some offensive tricks." Isn't there anyone who has developed other tricks? ”

"The role of the spell slingshot is not to fight, but to learn spells quickly." Amelia said, spreading her hands out, "If this power is a fire projectile cast by a spell slingshot......"

In Amelia's left hand, a cluster of flames about the size of a match appeared.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then this is a genuine flame charge! ”

"Whew~!" The suppressed sound of burning sounded, and the raging flames were compressed to the size of an egg, and the heat contained in them could be felt even by the fire sitting opposite!

Such a small flame bomb has the power to destroy a large tree that one person can barely hug.

Amelia dispersed the magic elements on both sides, and the temperature in the carriage returned to normal, and then said, "Tricks are not as good as genuine spells in any way, and ...... The spell slingshot must have a certain number of mana phantom stars, otherwise the feedback time will be too long, and the spell will not be able to be cast at all. ”

"There are other tricks, and there are many people who can cast spells with this, but when it comes to actual combat, it is far from enough." Amelia continued, "But these methods are not useless, at least they can make people go from 0 to 1. As for the stage from 1 to 100, it depends on the individual's talent. ”

"And up until now, it's only solved the first stage - the problem of being able to cast spells." Amelia paused, "And the second stage is an insurmountable obstacle for many people. ”

"The second stage is intuitively speaking, it is solving the Rubik's Cube. A third-order Rubik's cube has a variation of about 10 to the nineteenth power, and some people may take half an hour or more to unravel, while for a small number of people, it may only take five seconds. And fighting with spells, especially fighting against an opponent alone, is equivalent to taking three seconds or less to resolve a change of order of magnitude of ten to the nineteenth. ”

"Even if it is the simplest spell, it has tens of millions of changes, which is also a point that spells are different from other skills, no matter how complex the skills are, there are rarely more than 100,000 changes."

Agni also had a general understanding of this, but no one had explained it to him in such detail.

"In other words, the speed of solving the question determines the combat effectiveness of a mage player?" Agni said in a way that was more understandable to Chinese players. For Agni on the eve of the UEC, a large number of practice questions is undoubtedly a nightmare.

"That's understandable!" Amelia smiled, "Commonly used spells are usually in this order of magnitude, and in order to use spells in actual combat, you need to compress the solution speed to less than ten seconds, otherwise it is likely that the battle will end before the spell is cast." ”

"After crossing the first stage, the second stage is actually relatively easy to achieve, even for players with average talent, repeated practice of a single spell can also compress the time for building spells to the extent that they can be used in actual combat, so in Elonsio's tower, there are still a lot of mage-type fighters." Amelia continued.

"But why is it that there are so few mages who can actually enter the wilderness? Why do most people only dare to stay in the Mage Tower? Amelia said with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

Agni looked at Amelia's appearance, and suddenly his heart moved, and he blurted out, "Phantom Star?!" ”

Amelia nodded, "That's right, that's the problem. ”

"The biggest difference between normal skills and spells is the construction of the model. Skills use the energy of the phantom star itself, so it only needs to be built in the body to be used, but spells cannot. The model of the spell needs to be built in a high-dimensional space, and the magic element is used to complete the spell, which means that the caster must place the phantom star in a space that he is not familiar with. ”

"And a phantom star that is out of protection can easily be seized by creatures with malicious intentions! Including demons, monsters, beasts, and even natives outside the Manifest Destiny Alliance, it is possible to find the exposed phantom stars and take them over! ”

"The Mandate of Heaven Medal can only protect the phantom star in the player's body, and it is not just a matter of hard work to ensure that your phantom star can be safely retrieved when it is cast. Either they have a deep understanding of the nature of the high-dimensional space, or they use special props to protect their phantom stars, or they have mastered more advanced spell-casting skills. ”

"Otherwise, the mage player is just a delicious fat sheep in front of those NPCs!"

Although Amelia had already mastered the means to protect her phantasmal stars, the experience of being forced to seize all the magical stars was still a nightmare for her for a long time. Minter took her into his arms with some distress and gently patted her back.

There was no word in the carriage for a moment.

This world is not as simple as it seems.
