Chapter 877: Infinite Chain

So, hearing the other party's question of Sendros, the high priest of Zochira, who was in a hurry, suddenly interjected, in addition to temporarily interrupting the topic.

Lin Li didn't think about it so much, and what the other party said sounded very polite, without a hint of provocation, maybe it was indeed a discussion issue. He didn't mind being interrupted, but nodded, smiled and said to the High Priest of Zochira: "The High Priest is too polite, I am willing to discuss magic with you, but although I have some undead minions, I don't know much about undead magic, so I'm afraid it should be more for me to ask you for advice." ”

Lin Li himself was not the kind of person whose eyes were above the top, and the High Priest of Zochira had enough respect for him, and of course he was courteous. It's just that since Zochira is a necromancer, Lin Li naturally thinks that he wants to discuss necromancer, and he is really not sure about necromancer. Don't look at Lin Li's star fragment darkness, it can be said that he has the purest power of dark rules, but necromancy is not simply the use of dark rules, but the product of the combination of dark power and life force.

Just like Lin Li, in terms of alchemy, he chose the path of the traditional alchemy array, although he has reached a fairly high level, but he is far inferior to Angelano in terms of alchemy puppet alchemy colossus. If it comes to discussing dark magic, Lin Li can still use his mastery of darkness to say one, two, three, but necromancy is obviously a little beyond his ability.

Zochira's face was hidden in the shadow of the wide hood, but she could feel a hint of a smile coming out, and then she said in a somewhat ugly hoarse voice, "It's not a question of necromancy, it's not a question of pure magic, it's about magic theory." ”

"Oh, in that case, then ask the high priest for advice," Hearing that it was a problem with magic theory, Lin Li was more interested, and he didn't think that the other party was deliberately provoking himself. The so-called theory of magic, simply put, is some theorems, laws or formulas that apply to the whole system of magic, and through these magic theories summarized by predecessors, magicians can have a deeper understanding of magic. If the other party wants to discuss the problem, if it is mastered by himself, then there is naturally nothing to say, if it is not mastered by himself, isn't this a good learning opportunity.

It was only Sendros, who, after hearing Zochira's words, glanced at him lightly, and his face seemed slightly unhappy. What was Zochira's mind, how could Sendros not know, before Lin Li came to the Dark Temple, this matter had been discussed many times by the Dark Council. In fact, on the issue of how to deal with Lin Li, Sendros and the five high priests did not disagree, and they all recognized the value of Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk, believing that it was needed for the development of the Dark Temple. However, in the midst of the Dark Temple's crisis, the five High Priests insisted that they should be more cautious.

Forget it, blindly use your authority to suppress them, so much better let them see the perversion of this kid Ferrey. Thinking of this, Senderos didn't say anything to stop him, but sat there for a long time waiting to watch the play.

Seeing that Sendros didn't say anything to stop him, Zorchira relaxed slightly, turned her eyes to Lin Li, and said in a very polite tone: "What I want to ask Master Ferrey for advice is the use of the chain formula for Aegno's magic damage, although I have studied this area for many years, but so far I have only deduced the chain process to sixty-seven steps according to the formula, and then it seems to have encountered a bottleneck, and there has never been a breakthrough, I don't know what Master Ferrey has in this regard." ”

Aegno, said to be the first director of the Royal Academy of Magic of the High Elves of the Dark Ages, is known as the greatest theorist of magic in the Dark Ages. The grading system for magicians that people use today was formulated by Aegno, and the twenty-five levels from magic apprentices to the Sanctuary realm clearly pointed out the way forward for magicians.

In addition to the contribution of this hierarchy, Aegno also has many achievements in the theory of magic, and the magic damage chain formula is one of them. The so-called magic damage chain means that when the target is hit by a magic attack, if a second specific magic is cast at the right time, it will cause a certain amount of stacked damage to the target, that is, one plus one is greater than two. And this effect, theoretically, can be repeated and continued forever, and in the end it can even add up damage to a rather terrifying level.

Based on this theory, Aegno created the Magic Damage Cascade Formula, which was used to calculate how best to achieve this theory. It is said that during the Dark Ages, Aegno once set a record of 213 chain magic damage to his target based on this magic formula he had created, and through some magic chains below level 15, he even reached a level close to Sanctuary level magic. And after the end of the Dark Ages, even the god of mages, Gresko, failed to break this record, at most it only reached one hundred and seventy-one times, but it was already the highest record in the history of human magic so far.

However, in Lin Li's opinion, when people mention this theory now, they are really too focused on chain quantity, and even ignore the significance of magic in actual combat. In actual battles, the occasional superposition of magic damage will indeed have a surprising winning effect, but blindly pursuing the amount of chain magic is a bit more than worth the loss. Casting more than 200 magic in a row, whether it is the time consumed or the magic power, is not something that ordinary people can afford, and those who can afford it are afraid that they will be done with just casting a sacred domain magic, so why do this kind of behavior that is close to masochism.

The real benefit of this theory is that it allows the magician to become familiar with the characteristics of various magics, to grasp the effects of various magicalities, and to have a goal as a motivation when practicing the casting of magic. You know, if you want to achieve the effect of a magic chain, you can't just desperately cast the same magic in a row, Lin Li can cast hundreds of frozen thousands of miles in a short time, but it is definitely not a magic chain.

In Gresco's Book of Eternities, this formula for Aegno's magical damage chain is also mentioned, and it is also recorded that Gresco chain one hundred and seventy-one times. However, Lin Li knew that one hundred and seventy-one times was not Gresco's limit at all, and if he wanted to, he was afraid that he could easily increase this number by ten times and a hundred times, or even an infinite chain. The reason why there was only one hundred and seventy-one records, Gresco's explanation was simple, it was too boring, and it seemed to him meaningless.

Therefore, when he heard that Zochila was going to discuss this chain formula, Lin Li frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. I have a learning mentality and want to learn something from the discussion, but this magic damage chain formula, to be honest, really has nothing to learn. With Lin Li's current strength, if he doesn't deliberately stipulate the level of magic, it's probably not difficult to want to chain it infinitely, but is that necessary?

However, the necromancer Zochila, seeing Lin Li frowning slightly, thought that he had touched the weakness of the other party, although he didn't feel much joy, but he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself in his heart for the wisdom of his move. He didn't have to embarrass Lin Li, but the stakes were so important that he had to be cautious, if the other party didn't have enough strength, then how could he rest assured that the fate of the Dark Temple would be in the hands of the other party.

After Zochila's words were spoken, the hall was silent, and the eyes of the five high priests were focused on Lin Li. Aegno's magical damage chain formula was famous in the Dark Ages, and is now almost universally known. In fact, everyone also knows that in actual combat, no one can really chain more than 200 magic. However, this formula can show a person's mastery of magic theory to a certain extent, and further can also be said to show a person's relatively real strength.

A person's strength does not only depend on his level, but also on the strength and weakness of people at the same level. The mastery of magic, the judgment of timing, the capture of some fighters, etc., can be said to be an important factor in the strength of a person. For example, there are some magicians who are immersed in magic books all their lives, which is a set of words, but the lack of actual combat experience makes it difficult for them to compete with those magicians of the same level who have experienced a hundred battles. Some magicians may have a lot of combat experience and rely on their own experience to deal with all battles, but once they encounter a situation that their own experience cannot explain, the shortcomings of not being familiar with magic theory may explode.

After listening to Lin Li's adventures in the past two years, the five great priests were quite sure of Lin Li's actual combat experience. But in their opinion, no one is perfect, as a young magician, the time used for magic research is very limited, and this young magician also allocated his limited time to pharmacy and blacksmithing, how can he have more time to consolidate the foundation of magic.

Lin Li didn't know what the five high priests were thinking, although he felt that this question was boring, but since the high priest of Zochira asked very politely, he couldn't stop answering because he was bored. He sorted out his thoughts a little, stretched out his slightly frowning brows, and said: "It is undeniable that the superimposed damage caused by magic chains is indeed an important means for magicians to fight, but the number of chain magic, I think it should be four to six magic is the best, and blindly pursuing the highest number of chain magic is actually a bit of putting the cart before the horse." Of course, when learning magic, this formula also has a certain effect on the magician's understanding and mastery of magic, and forming his own unique tactics. ”

Lin Li was telling the truth, but in the ears of several high priests, he was somewhat suspicious of shirking. Especially when they heard Lin Li say that the optimal number of chain magic is four to six, they were even more uneasy in their hearts about Lin Li's strength. In fact, they were also concerned about chaos, if they weren't worried about the fate of the Dark Temple, they could also think that what Lin Li said was not wrong, but now they just wanted to confirm Lin Li's strength as soon as possible.

However, out of respect for Senderros, although the five high priests already thought that Lin Li's strength was not enough to rely on, they did not show the slightest contempt and disdain for Lin Li. And the Great Priest of Zochila also sighed secretly, and then prepared to say two words of the round, so as not to embarrass Lin Li because of this. However, just when the five high priests thought that Lin Li was stumped, and the high priest of Zochila was also about to open his mouth, Lin Li continued to speak.

"When it comes to the number of chain magic, if theoretically the state of the caster is not considered, and only the formula is used, I can have an infinite chain answer, and I hope that the High Priest of Zochira can give correction." Lin Li, who only regarded this as a normal discussion, said in a very modest tone.

"Actually, at the age of Master Ferry, it is already ...... to be able to achieve what he is today" Zochila was just halfway through the words of the Great Sacrifice Circle, when he suddenly reacted, looked at Lin Li with some dumbfoundedness, and said in disbelief: "What are you talking about, no ...... Infinite chains? ”

What are you kidding, the magic chain can't be done by burying your head and pouring out a magic storm, that can only be a magic and a magic damage, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of damage stacking, otherwise there is no need for any formula to calculate. In order to achieve the effect of magic chain damage stacking, the characteristics of each magic, the burst time, the duration of magic damage, the inert cycle of magic elements, etc., must be taken into account.

If you really want to find an analogy, it can be said that magic chains are somewhat similar to potions, each magic is like a kind of herb, only by mastering all the medicinal properties of herbs, knowing what herbs will intensify what herbs, what herbs will inhibit what herbs, and finally be able to formulate a potion with perfect medicinal effects, instead of boiling all the herbs in one pot.

Not to mention the five great priests such as Zorchila, even Sendros, who was already sure that Lin Li could surprise everyone, couldn't help but be taken aback first after hearing Lin Li say about the infinite chain. Of course, Sendros also knows, let alone infinite chains, even more than ten chains, and it is basically impossible to use them in actual combat, but this at least shows that Lin Li's mastery of various magic has reached a rather astonishing level.
