Stone Fire Tavern, 2nd floor guest room.

Sitting in a chair, Victor is meditating deeply, recovering from physical and mental fatigue.

After arriving at Fort Saint-Na, the capital of the Kingdom of Barbatara, Victor said goodbye to Cecilia, Old Locke and others who were reluctant to reluctance, and left the Northland caravan that had been with him for more than half a month.

Following the instructions in the mission, Victor used the spell "Charm Human" to control a local thug, and under his leadership, he led him to the Stone Fire Tavern, the location of the secret joint.

"Although my high-profile behavior is risky, it is also convenient for people who come to connect......"

After meditating, Victor looked at what he had done, and after making sure that there was not much danger, he focused on summarizing.

Based on the experience of many battles, Victor made a preliminary summary of the mage profession.

Mages are not as powerful as one might think. Most mages, especially low- and mid-tier mages, generally don't use spells in less dangerous environments, and mages are not much inferior in hand-to-hand combat to warriors and barbarians (especially at low levels).

For example, when encountering a group of miscellaneous soldiers, Victor can cast the spell "Colorful Spray", and after controlling the enemy, use a weapon such as a dagger to kill him...... It's much easier than a mid-tier fighter's head-to-head battle.

Based on past experience, Victor believes that the mage's combat style is mainly reflected in two aspects: field control and one-hit kill.

Field control means that the main role of a mage should be to help him and his team cope with changing situations. For example, "Protective Energy" is used to reduce certain damage such as strong acid, fire, and freeze, or "Hypnosis, Cobweb", or "Greasy" control spells to help you and your allies reduce the number of enemies they face, or "Flying Technique" to help your team overcome difficult terrain, or "Wind Movement" to help your team improve mobility.

And one hit kills is the embodiment of the strength of the mage profession! Examples: Dead Cloud, Finger of Death, Cleavage, Time Stop, Meteor Burst...... These powerful spells can all be used to win in one hit!

Therefore, based on the above two aspects, it can be seen that the shortcomings or weaknesses of the mage are "pre-war preparation"!

How to understand it?

First of all, mages are often extremely poor in dealing with sudden attacks and sudden changes! Because the spells prepared by each mage are all specific and intensely targeted...... In the face of unexpected events, these targeted spells often don't come in handy!

Fortunately, any mage has this sense of crisis, so they will set aside the necessary mental power to cast life-saving spells such as "Any Door", "Oil on the Soles of the Feet", and "Demon Duncan's Mansion". Therefore, if you want to kill a mage, you must make careful preparation and a complete plan.

Secondly, when mages cast spells, most of the time they need to cast spells! If a mage is too close to his enemies, then no matter how many and best spells he has, he doesn't have time to cast them, and it's all in vain!

Based on this, mages tend to have a constant and permanent trigger spell on their equipment for when they are caught off guard. For example, a mid-level mage has a spell "Arbitrary Gate" on his robe, which is triggered by a sudden, instant-death attack. In that case, if a high-ranking assassin approaches him stealthily and suddenly launches a backstab! Then, once the trigger conditions take effect, the mid-level mage can be teleported and escaped by the spell "Any Gate" without even realizing it.

The above two points boil down to the so-called "pre-war preparations".

In other words, when there is not much difference in strength between the enemy and us, a well-prepared mage is invincible.

In response to this weakness of the mage, Victor transformed the talent "Data Analysis" that could be actively opened into a brand-new, passively effective spell "All-Seeing Eye" through the newly born illusory universe in his soul space.

During his trip to Fort Saint-Na, in addition to teaching Cecilia, Victor spent the rest of his time building this exclusive spell.

Luckily, he succeeded!

"All-Seeing Eye", an exclusive spell that works passively. The effect is to digitize the rule system of the plane.

For example, if an arrow is fired towards Victor, then the specific structure, trajectory, lethality, and flight time of the arrow ...... All kinds of information will be transformed into data and presented in the form of Victor's vision.

Due to the mage's level and mental power, the effect of the "All-Seeing Eye" is limited to 10% of the normal effect (Victor's speculation), and perhaps only after Victor becomes a legendary mage, this restriction will be completely lifted.

Even so, it was enough for Victor, a mid-level mage of the Four Rings!

……

Standing up, Victor moved slightly.

Ever since Greenland was destroyed by the Eternal Temple, ever since the Magical Society's War Fortress arrived in the North, ever since the fire broke out in Carter City, Victor has wondered from time to time: Why did he cross over? Was it just an accident?

Is there a connection between the Walsted continent he traveled through and the game world in his previous life? Why did the "history" that he concluded to have disappeared reappear? Could this be the result of a space-time correction?

If this is the case, then after the "War in the North", "Scourge of the Dead", "Demon Invasion", "Arrival of the Sage", ...... Will it happen again?

"Since you can't figure out what's going on, let's let it be!"

Victor, whose thoughts were becoming more and more distracted, let out a long sigh, his dilated pupils refocused.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

Out of an abundance of caution, Victor didn't have any detectable spells, so he couldn't be sure who was knocking on the door.

"My God is eternal! Who is it? ”

Based on Uncle Leo's account of his more than twenty years in the temple, Victor, disguised as a low-ranking priest, asked in a low voice, "What is it that makes you disturb a servant of the gods?" ”

"Big ...... Adults are angry! The villain is George ......, the owner of the tavern"

A reluctant voice came from outside the door, "...... Yes, there is a pious nobleman who wants to meet you...... I don't know if adults have time? ”

"Aristocrats?" The corners of Victor's mouth curled slightly, "How did he know I was here?" ”

"Ahh Adults, you are ...... when you are eating? The punishment of the villains has been carried out, and this happy thing has been spread...... So ......"

"Got it!"

Victor interrupted the tavernkeeper's explanation in an impatient tone, "In that case, let me meet this uninvited guest......"
