Chapter 423: Change
The weather is still the same.
Curled up in the sentry box, Maltai shrunk his body. He rubbed his hands together and looked out the window at the gloomy and dim sky, and the equally gloomy and dim wilderness. He glanced left and right, then lowered his head and looked at his hands, and soon, a low incantation emerged from Maltai's mouth, turning into the light of magic enveloping him. In just an instant, the icy chill subsided in an instant, and the warm comfort of the spring breeze enveloped his body.........
"Haaa........."
Maltei narrowed his eyes and shivered in comfort before he stood up. Seeing him like this, the old guy next to him pouted.
"Magic again? Don't forget, there's a limit to the number of mana you can use per day! โ
"It's just a little protection against the cold, and you don't expect to use this to fight mutants."
Maltai looked at his colleague with a smile as he rubbed his hands together and picked up his gun.
"Okay, I'll go out on patrol, you be careful, don't have an accident, if something happens, it'll be troublesome."
As one of the first forces to popularize shadow magic, what Feron didn't know was that at this moment, District 9 had completely changed to a different shape. Shadow magic does have limitations, but it has too many benefits for ordinary people!
Spells such as light, repair, flash, and poison detection in those Level 0 tricks are necessary for the inhabitants of the wasteland. While it is true that energy networks can provide infinite amounts of energy, they also require appliances to function. Lighting facilities such as searchlights and flashlights are also indispensable. But there is no manufacturing in the wasteland anymore, and light bulbs and the like are the most vulnerable things to damage. So most of the time, the inhabitants of the wasteland go out on patrol with torches, but now, with magic, they can just release a light spell when they go out, and then they don't have to be afraid of anything!
Not to mention, among the first-level spells learned, there is also a magic shield, which is a great killing weapon like an artifact in the eyes of the inhabitants of the wasteland. Although it is said that the first-level magic shield can only withstand a few bullets. It's impossible to resist like no one, but for most of the wasteland dwellers, that's enough to get them out of the way! The inhabitants of the wasteland who died from the sneak attack of mutated monsters or bandits can be said to account for more than half of the casualties in the entire wasteland. Just such a magic shield can drastically reduce this casualty.
Not to mention detecting poison, because eating the wrong thing or accidentally getting poisoned somewhere is common for the wasteland dwellers in the wilderness, now you can at least release a detection spell before eating it to see if this thing will eat the dead!
After discovering the benefits of shadow magic, the wasteland dwellers immediately began to study voraciously, especially front-line soldiers and warriors like Maltai, who knew the importance of magic if the people who lived in the colonies did not appreciate the convenience of magic, then warriors like Maltai, who often patrolled the wilderness, understood the importance of this magic all too well.
Luckily, Maltai seems to have a talent for magic, and after a period of hard work, he was able to master the protective spells of the Three Rings. Because of this, the ninth district has also promoted his position, and now Maltai has been promoted three levels in a row to become a brigade commander. If he is able to use Level 4 magic, then he can move into the Ninth District's Immediate Gathering and become a high citizen.
This is a very good motivation for Malte.
This is also another major reform since the ninth district has been conducting magic training, and in the past, the high-level officials in the ninth district either did not have a corpse vegetarian meal, or simply climbed up for various reasons, and they were powerless waste. But now the situation is different, in order to appease and win over those potential magic users, several giants, including the Emperor, have begun to vigorously crack down on and clean up this garbage. After all, if they don't get driven down, sooner or later they will be secretly killed by some vengeful magic user, and since sooner or later they will end up in the garbage dump, why not just send these guys to the garbage dump?
This is also the reason why Sector 9 has now become the leader of the forces in the wilderness, and while other forces are still worried and uneasy about this mysterious and strange thing, they have begun to think about how to use this to improve the cohesion and unity within Sector 9.
Maltai is a good example of this, he was once just a member of an outpost team, and his immediate boss was a fool who couldn't do anything. Not only is he stupid, but he's also lazy. Not only that, but he also saw these shadow magic as a trick of the devil, believing that those who used magic should go to hell.
But even so, Maltai did not relax his exploration of the Shadow Demon Network, after he mastered the magic of the second ring, he submitted an application to his superiors in accordance with the regulations, and soon, the ninth district sent people down to check, after confirming that Maltai did master magic, they promoted Maltai's positionโโโ and of course, the idiot captain who had no intention of learning those "devil's creations" at all naturally became victims. He was sent to the Outpost Discovery Camp as a pathfinder at the most ordinary of his kind, while Maltej took over his duties, his residence, and his assets......... Including one of his twin daughters.
Under the joint attack of the Big Seven, the ninth district has a completely new look. In the past, most people at the bottom of the class ate and waited to die, but now everyone is trying to learn magicโโโ although there are warnings such as "this is the temptation of the devil, and those who learn magic will go to hell", most people basically scoff at this.
Because they're already in hell.
And there are no gods or angels to save them, so why not take refuge in the devil? At least you can live a more comfortable life, can't you?
"Everyone prepare, today our patrol area is B-4 area."
After exiting the room, Maltai quickly gathered his men. Now the army of the 9th district has also changed. With the exception of the guards in charge of guarding the camp, most of the teams were broken up into squads, and those who had mastered magic were promoted to these squads. Now these people are all of any gender, age, who have the ability, can use magic, and are willing to work.
And the team under Maltai can be regarded as the most elite team in the entire base at present, although the entire team is only ten people, and there is an elderly one, as well as a young girl. But each of these people is a spellcaster who has been exposed to the magic of the Three Rings, and from this point of view, these ten people are enough to cover hundreds of soldiers in the base!
Not to mention, there is also a very rare healing domain ability inside.
"Miss Beth."
Maltai coughed and looked at the stern-looking girl with an assault rifle in front of him.
"The place we are going to this time will be relatively remote and dangerous, so please be vigilant, whether you can come back alive depends on you."
"Okay, Captain, I got it!"
Hearing Maltai's order, the girl also nodded. Hearing the girl's answer, Maltai also showed a reassuring smile. Then he glanced at his subordinates and waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
Patrolling the wilderness is not an easy task, mutants, mutants, all kinds of dangers are everywhere. But fortunately, due to the popularization of magic, the power of Sector 9 is much stronger than before, and the threats from some of the more remote areas have basically been swept away. With magic, the inhabitants of the wasteland don't even care about mutants. In the past, mutants were not afraid of death, they were fast, strong, and huge, and everyone was afraid when they saw it.
But now, with the help of magic, the inhabitants of the wasteland have much more confidence when it comes to facing mutants. Huge? We also have the art of becoming a giant! And I don't know why, mutants are not as weak as a pig in their resistance to magic, especially the spells of the illusion system, which are almost a hundred shots. Later, the inhabitants of the wasteland also learned to behave, and when they saw mutants, they threw them directly over as if they didn't want money, and after confusing those guys whose brains were full of muscles, they could do it like slaughtering pigs.
Because of this, at the moment, in the territory controlled by District 9, mutants are basically extinct, and there are many fewer bandits and the like.........
But now this area is different from the area that Maltei patrols, it is close to the restricted area.
Almost no one cared about these places before, and everyone knows that there is no energy network in the forbidden zone. And without an energy network, running over is also looking for death.
But now, things are different.
"Remember, we have to be careful and pay attention to our surroundings, especially on the outside ............ area."
Hidden in the ruins, Maltai put a magic shield on himself and those around him, while not forgetting to tirelessly advise.
Wooโโโโโ!!
However, before Maltai could finish his words, suddenly, a low roar came from the sky. This startled everyone, and they instinctively raised their heads and looked towards the sky, only to see a huge black shadow flying over their heads under the black oppressive clouds, flying into the distance.
"What's that?"
Beth stared blankly at the shadow, her mouth long, while Maltei frowned, staring at the shadow in the distance.
"It looks like an airplane......... Wait, where did this plane come from!? โ
At this moment, Maltai seemed to suddenly think of this question, and he quickly and instinctively turned his head to look to the other side, and then only felt a chill all over.
That plane, it flew out of the restricted area!!
"It's not good, notify the base ............... immediately!" 20110
