Volume 5 Legendary Mentor Chapter 115 Choosing an apprentice is the most crucial
While Ye Fengliu observed the Taoist priest to show his skills, the chatter mage continued to explain, especially praising the Taoist priest who cast the "Soul Fire Talisman".
He believes that the "Soul Fire Talisman" skill used by this Taoist priest has reached the threshold of breaking through the third level, so although it is a general skill of a Taoist priest, it still cannot be underestimated.
Through the narration of the chatter mage, Ye Fengliu learned that the third-level skill is the theoretical upper limit of the three brave professional skills of the Dao Law War, but some individual braves can break through this limit and upgrade their skills to the fourth level.
Skill upgrading requires accumulating skill experience by destroying monsters, but the skill experience will not increase after the skill is upgraded to level 3, and whether it can be upgraded to level 4 again depends entirely on the skill user's comprehension of the skill.
Level 4 skills can also be called mutation skills, which will add additional effects to the original skill effect. The specific effect of the increase will vary from person to person, but generally the skills that can be mutated are low-level skills, and the brave with mutated skills are generally the kind of brave people with extremely poor talent who can only learn low-level skills.
Therefore, there are brave mentors who specialize in the use of skills, who believe that the perennial use of a skill is the direct cause of skill mutation, and God rewards diligence, and skill mutation is God's reward for the brave who are not talented enough but diligent enough.
After all the members of the Taoist Guild demonstrated their skills, the leader of the Mage Guild was Shi Fengyun, the leader of the Mage Guild, who demonstrated the skill "Burst Flame".
Shi Fengyun is an old man with a white beard, wearing a black robe embroidered with countless stars, tall and thin, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.
He took a staff from the weapon rack and had a dozen targets stacked together, then he took the staff and began to stand there chanting incantations.
After about five or six minutes, just when Ye Fengliu's eyes straightened, and he secretly wondered if this old man had failed to activate his skills, Shi Fengyun's staff finally raised and pointed at the pile of targets.
A circle of red light flew out on the staff, and after flying into the air, it became bigger and bigger, and only when it expanded to a diameter of about five meters, it fell downward, and smashed right in the center of the pile of targets.
Applause immediately sounded in the hall, Shi Fengyun gasped and clenched his fists, this time Ye Fengliu didn't get the explanation of the chatter mage, because he was the next to play.
The chatter mage is also an old man, but he is short and fat, the top of his head is bald, and the robe he wears is greasy and shiny, and he has not washed it for a long time, so that he can't see the original color.
He walked to the middle of the martial arts arena and saluted with his fists, revealing a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth and said, "In the Lower Mage Guild Yuan Chunlei, the skill I demonstrated was the 'Thunder and Lightning Technique'. ”
After speaking, he didn't fiddle with the target, nor did he pick the weapon, he raised his hand directly and raised it into the air, and at the same time shouted "Thunder." ”
Immediately, a white thunderbolt with a thick bowl mouth appeared out of thin air above his head, about five meters above his head, and then instantly pierced through a distance of more than ten meters and shot at a dummy target, splitting the target into a pile of pieces.
Immediately the hall burst into applause and discussions:
"No mantra instant third-level thunder and lightning technique, worthy of the elder thunder master of the Mage Guild! I'm afraid this skill is about to break through the third level! ”
"That doesn't seem like he's a housekeeper, right? Isn't his unique job a third-level 'flash movie'? ”
"That skill is a chain attack, if you accidentally injure a member of the royal family, wouldn't you be asking for trouble for yourself?"
"Also, I thought he was deliberately clumsy......"
Yuan Chunlei triumphantly returned to his position amid discussion and applause, and the next mage to come to the stage was called Mu Changgong, and the skill he used was the "Fire Wall Technique".
Like Shi Fengyun, he held his staff and recited the spell there for five or six minutes before he cast the skill, and the effect of the skill was similar to Shi Fengyun's "Burst Flame", except that the red light emitted by the skill was in a strip, and when it fell on the targets in a row, it formed a wall of fire and continued to burn, which lasted for about ten seconds before it ended.
Although the instantaneous destructive power of its skill is significantly less than that of "Burst Flame", the effect of continuous fire damage is significantly more prominent.
"This ......"
The chattering Yuan Chunlei was still waiting to explain to Ye Fengliu, but Shi Fengyun, the head of the Mage Guild who was standing in front of him, coughed.
Yuan Chunlei immediately stopped talking in amusement, smiled awkwardly at Ye Fengliu and shut up.
Ye Fengliu said secretly: "This Mage Guild President Shi Fengyun should not want Yuan Chunlei to reveal the secrets of the Mage Guild to outsiders, so he acted like this, but he didn't know that what Yuan Chunlei said should just be some common sense, which can only prove that he has no bearing." ”
He didn't care about this either, because he could get more detailed information from Shang Yi and Li Hui later.
After that, the mages who came up to demonstrate their skills at the Mage Guild left the biggest impression on Ye Fengliu was that the skill casting speed was slow, or it could be said to be extremely slow.
Although the types of skills used by the mages are a little richer than those of the Taoist priests, this kind of procrastination rhythm still makes Ye Fengliu drowsy.
After watching the tenth mage on stage perform the fireball, it was already noon, and the master of ceremonies announced that the demonstration would be suspended and would continue in the afternoon.
Shang Yi and Li Hui also returned to the team, and followed Ye Fengliu to the side hall to enjoy the imperial meal, and at the same time took this opportunity to start discussing the next course of action.
Shang Yi and Li Hui began to tell the news they had found out while eating.
Shang Yi used the beauty trick, the main news provider was a little Taoist priest of the Taoist Guild, in fact, she didn't do anything, she just smiled at the little Taoist priest, and her voice was deliberately gentle, and the little Taoist priest knew everything.
Li Hui used the money offensive, and the main source was Xue Dingfei, the great warrior of the Warrior Guild who used the assassination sword technique, and he was an elder in the Warrior Guild, and his status was not low.
Li Hui handed over five gold bars, said some words of admiration, and showed a little intention to learn art, so he completely became friends with this big man named Xue Dingfei, and almost wiped out what he knew.
Xue Dingfei provided much more information than the little Taoist priest Shang Yi asked, which made Shang Yi very unconvinced, but it turned out that Li Hui seemed to be more suitable than him to find out the news.
The information collected by Shang Yi and Li Hui is mainly divided into two parts.
The first part is the information related to the professional skills of the braves, which is basically common sense, and it is not a secret among the guilds in the Marfa continent, so the information obtained is also more detailed.
Ye Fengliu had already learned most of the skill information of warriors and Taoists from the chatter mage Yuan Chunlei, and then made up the rest from Shang Yina, and finally had a basic understanding of the various professional skills of the brave in the legendary world.
Warriors are the most common in the Marfa continent, because the warrior skill learning conditions are the lowest and the number of skills is small, so the number of learners is the highest. This has also led to a situation where the Warrior Guild is the dominant family in the Marfa Continent, and many members of the royal family hold high positions in the Warrior Guild.
The headquarters of the Warrior Guild is located in the alliance province of the Beech Kingdom, which is the most important resource and strategic location of the Beech Kingdom, and the headquarters of the Warrior Guild is enough to show the king's reliance and trust in the Warrior Guild.
The number and power of the Taoist Guild are the lowest among the three major guilds, but because the first king who founded the Eastern Dynasty was once a legendary Taoist, the prestige of the Taoist Guild is very high, but unfortunately with the disappearance of the first king, most of the skills of the Taoist Guild have been lost, and the prestige of the Taoist Guild is declining sharply.
The number and power of the Mage Guild used to be the highest in the Marfa Continent, but unfortunately, the skills of the mages are complicated and the learning conditions are higher, so the loss of skills and the decrease in the number of people are more serious than those of the Taoist Guild.
Fortunately, the previous foundation of the Mage Guild was relatively good, relying on some guild elders who were about to enter the ground, the Mage Guild could barely maintain the situation of a second guild, but once these elders died or died, then the loss of power of the Mage Guild was inevitable.
The second part is the secrets of the royal family, this information is not something that ordinary people can know, fortunately, that Xue Dingfei has a little royal blood, and he knows a lot, probably as follows:
The eldest prince Liu Dingguo is 38 years old, has the best martial arts qualifications, is already a level 23 warrior, has the best reputation among the people, and even led the army to successfully exterminate several half-orc tribes that have invaded the countryside.
However, King Liu Gaozong was quite suspicious of him, and was the coldest among his children.
The second prince Liu Fumin is 32 years old, his martial arts qualifications are slightly worse than that of the eldest prince, he is a 16-level warrior, with a cowardly personality and lewd and lustful, and his biggest advantage is that his kung fu is first-class, and it may be because of this specialty that he is the most favored by the king.
The third prince Liu Guquan is 28 years old, the worst qualification among the princes, a level 13 mage, treacherous and insidious, extremely good at the art of power and scheming, although the king is not welcome to him, but many ministers and forces are related to him, and he is the crown prince with the most power behind him.
The fourth princess Liu Ximan is only 16 years old, has not yet practiced martial arts, has a willful and naughty personality, and loves mining and reading knight novels. Although she often makes trouble in the palace, she has never been punished decently because she is loved by the king, so as she gets older, she has become more and more domineering in the palace in recent years, and she is a famous female demon king in the palace.
Ye Fengliu listened to Shang Yi and Li Hui finish all the information they knew, and pondered for a long time, then touched his chin under Shang Yi and Li Hui's expectant eyes and said, "You two have done a good job, with this information, we will be able to control our own destiny." ”
"The rewards we can get in this story world will largely depend on which apprentice we choose."
"According to the information we have so far, there are only three ways to improve the achievements of an apprentice, and the simplest one is to increase his level and force value, so that he can gain a resounding reputation among the brave; the second is to help him seize the throne and let him have the highest power in the country of Beech; The third is to let it play a key role in defeating the resurrected demon king's army. ”
"Each of these three ways is more difficult than the other, and there are more achievements than the other. In order to complete the third item, it is estimated that at least the second achievement must be completed first. ”
"Becoming the eldest prince's teacher is the easiest way to achieve the first achievement, and the other two are extremely difficult and belong to difficult tasks."
"To become the second prince's teacher who is the most favored by the king, the difficulty of completing the first task is medium, the difficulty of completing the second task is easy, and the difficulty of completing the third task is high. Because this prince's character flaws are too great, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to bravely face the army of monsters, so choosing him means choosing a medium difficulty mission. ”
"To become the third prince with the most power support, the first task is easy. Don't doubt it, I think the information about the qualifications of the three princes you got is fake, I don't believe that a guy who can become a mage will have a low qualification, and a guy with low qualifications can become a mage, then the mage guild will not decline. ”
"The second task is easy to achieve, and the third task is difficult to achieve. Because this prince has a sinister personality and is too scheming, he is likely to kill those who can pose a threat to him after seizing the throne. So choosing him is the same as choosing a simple task. ”
"Becoming the teacher of the fourth princess, it is easy to analyze, each item is almost impossible to achieve, and it is definitely synonymous with nightmare-level tasks."
"But the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, what do you two want to choose as an apprentice?" Ye Feng showed a strange smile.
