Chapter 155: Happiness and Sorrow Always Go Together
With the help of a meal, Ryan almost dug up Annie's background. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The girl was an outcast who was abandoned by her parents not long after she was born, and was lucky enough to be rescued by Jonathan, who went up the mountain to collect medicine. The latter reached middle age but had no wife and no children, so he had the idea of raising Anne as his heir.
However, this girl was out of her mind, not firm in her faith, and did not become a priest, but only helped Jonathan as a general practitioner.
Although Anne did not live according to the old man's plan, the girl was smart and likable, and Jonathan couldn't bear to force her to coax and spoil her.
Therefore, Anne's life is quite prosperous now, but she is not indifferent to her background. Ryan clearly saw that when mentioning his biological parents, Anne's eyes flashed with lingering grievances and sorrow.
However, the girl's heart is very strong, and the negative emotions are only fleeting. Therefore, Ryan had no intention of comforting her, and still single-mindedly dealt with the food in his hand.
Anne didn't want to mention the sad things anymore, and focused on the desk, her face full of curiosity: "Lord Ryan, will this spell called mage armor conjure up a set of clothes?" ”
Clothes?
Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled lightly: "This is not as simple as changing clothes, mage armor is a transparent shield, which can make mages wearing cloth armor have the same defensive ability as steel armor......"
Anne briefly explained how this spell worked, and the latter showed a brief doubt, then clapped his hands, and his eyes showed a clear light: "Oh, I see, isn't it like ooze monsters, although they look fragile, but ordinary weapons can't cut them at all?" ”
Ooze monsters? What is this metaphor?
Ryan smiled awkwardly, no longer dwelling on this question, and hurriedly followed her meaning, nodding constantly: "Yes, that's right......"
"Lord Ryan, can you teach me this spell?" Seeing Ryan nodding, Annie's eyes suddenly bloomed brightly, "Teacher, they are always prone to monster attacks when they go up the mountain to collect medicine, if I learn this spell, give one of them a layer of mage armor, so that they will neither get tired nor injured." ”
"It's mage armor." The corners of his mouth kept trembling, and Ryan, who was embarrassed, shook his head decisively: "Annie, spells are not something you can learn if you want to, this is a ring of spells, and even mage apprentices can't master them." If you really want to learn, you'll have to spend a lot of effort. ”
Ryan shamelessly avoided the fact that he hadn't learned the spell, and earnestly persuaded Anne to go step by step.
Apparently the latter's offer to learn spells was just a whim, and after being rejected, he just let out a sigh and put his gaze back on his desk again, looking a little depressed.
Seeing that the originally cheerful and lively girl became silent under his own words, Ryan felt uncomfortable, sighed lightly, and said: "If you really want to learn spells, I can introduce you to the academy, the education of Yaoxing Castle is top-notch in the entire Falling Star Sea, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to become a mage in your own right soon." ”
Her eyes lit up again, and then quickly dimmed, Anne shook her head, and her tone was a little low: "I still don't want it, I can't afford the tuition......"
Hearing this, Ryan silently looked at the girl's back and stopped talking. Although Philip never mentioned the question of tuition, judging from the money bag in his impression, it was at least a three-digit gold coin.
Coupled with the more than 100 gold coins that Lanier gave him, Ryan is a lot of debt when it comes to money, and he doesn't have the ability and qualifications to help others in this regard.
Eventually, Anne reluctantly left Ryan's house, and the latter relented and invited her to come back often, which restored her face to the radiance she had when she came, and made Ryan feel a lot more relieved.
Jonathan's love for this precious apprentice Ryan is not unexperienced, he was almost chased by this old priest because of the bed sheet before, if Annie's expression returns to him today, presumably Ryan really jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash it.
After replenishing his energy, Ryan once again felt energetic, picked up the transcription scroll and the materials he had organized, and once again began to solve the problem. After seeing the flexible nature of the mage's armor, Ryan remembered the girl just now.
Annie's ridiculous analogy isn't entirely wrong, ooze monsters are clay-shaped creatures with bodies that are capable of relieving their energy. Ordinary weapons slashing at them will be greatly weakened, and ordinary people will not even be able to cut through their jelly-like defenses.
This is very similar to the force field effect of mage armor.
What's more, the form of the ooze monster can change as much as you want, and you don't have to worry about the skin being broken. That's the question that Ryan is racking his brain for.
Most protective spells give the impression of being bubble-type individual barriers, designed to block attacks without touching the caster's body. However, the mage armor is retrograde, it is "soft" but tough, and this paradoxical attribute is the fundamental reason why countless low-level spellcasters give up on it.
But now, Ryan has to thank Annie, because of her, he finally bypassed this contradiction.
With inspiration, Ryan immediately began to build the spell model, unlike before, the output nodes in Ryan's hand no longer use the usual connection nodes to establish communication, and wisps of imperceptible magic appeared among them like a gossamer.
Compared with the previous ones, this kind of connection node is difficult to set up, and the magic power of the transmission is still very weak, but it is like a rubber band, and it has good ductility.
Ryan shuddered at the sight of the mass of experimental models writhing like jelly in his hand, as if they were about to collapse at any moment, but it turned out that he was right.
Half an hour later, the jelly-like model still writhed in Ryan's hand, who wiped the sweat from his forehead from the manipulation of the maneuver, took a deep breath, and held his breath to begin further verification.
As a wisp of magic pierced the center of the model like a steel needle, the "jelly" suddenly shuddered, then suddenly expanded and shrunk violently, like a kneaded balloon, as if it would explode in the next moment.
Seeing that the verification was almost failing, Ryan was about to cut off the mana supply and protect himself, but a breeze around his fingers made him stop.
I saw that the model in his palm had disappeared, and a transparent film like water waves was enveloped in his hand, and it was extremely difficult to see the clues with the naked eye.
Ryan seemed to stop breathing, stared blankly at the film covering his palm, and then clenched his fist lightly, as if he was afraid of crushing it.
However, Ryan was clearly overthinking, and the film changed with its movements, not affecting his actions in the slightest.
It's done!
Even though it only covers the palm of one hand, it proves that Ryan's idea is indeed the path to success, and with a little more time, learning mage armor is almost a certainty!
Thanks to Annie, thanks to the ooze monster......
Ryan couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh, and in his excitement, he swung his fist at the wall next to him.
Boom!
The smile on the half-elf's face suddenly stopped, and he saw that the water waves that had been circulating on his fist had disappeared, and the fist was in close contact with the wall, and there was a dull crashing sound, and the clay on the wall was shattered, and a hint of bright red could be faintly seen.
Holy! Overjoyed, it's just an experiment......
