Kamel proposed a solution for high-powered long-range weapons, which, in Gawain's view, may not completely solve the problem of "artillery", but at least to a certain extent, it can fill the biggest shortcoming of Cecil's army at present.

Cecil's combat soldiers already possessed very strong personal armaments, and they were in an absolutely dominant position on the traditional battlefield of this era, which relied on soldiers to fight to the death, but for Gawain, who had the memory of the earth, if there were no heavy weapons that could completely override manpower and affect the balance of the battlefield as a whole, then a modern army would be far from being formed.

In the face of the monsters in the demon tide, the power of the "sea of people" is unreliable after all, and only more powerful artillery fire can bring hope to human beings to survive.

However, even if Carmel's plan worked, Gawain did not give up the idea of creating a live-fire weapon - there are too many magical materials with strange properties in this world, and there are too many unpredictable threats in the wasteland of Gondor, and it is difficult for a single type of weapon to deal with the ever-changing battlefield, and for the cautious Gawain, kinetic weapons are still more reassuring to him.

After summarizing the various problems that arose in this defensive battle, and finalizing the details of the adjustment, training, and propaganda guidance of the troops after the battle, Gawain exhaled and turned to Hetty: "How is Rebecca's situation?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that she will fall asleep for a long time if her mental power is excessively depleted," the expression on Hetty's face was a little weird, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh, "She has rarely had excessive mental power consumption since she was a child, that child's mental power and magic power reserves are far beyond ordinary people, and she has never seen her tired by throwing hundreds of fireballs a day, this time she is too nonsense." ”

In this world, mental power and magic power reserves are two important indicators to measure a person's spell talent, and their roles are also different - in the simplest and straightforward explanation, mental power is the ability to control magic and sense magic power, which determines a person's spell casting skills and continuous spell casting stability, while magic power reserve is the power consumed when casting spells, which determines the total energy consumption of spells that a person can release in a certain period of time. Normally, these two indicators are synchronized - it is rare for a person's mental power to far exceed their mana reserves, or their mana reserves to far exceed their mental powers.

Of course, exceptions are not without exceptions, such as the second-level arcanist Santis who is serving as a teacher in the territory, he is an example of mana reserves far below mental power.

Although Rebecca is a strange girl, her "development" in these two indicators is quite normal, and even much stronger than the average mage, she is just born with a lack of "spell bits" that leads to spell casting defects, which is equivalent to a lack of tendons in the mage world.

So when Rebecca recklessly used the magic net as her own magic reserve, she encountered a situation where her mental power was overwhelmed, and it was a serious overwhelm - but she couldn't be blamed for this, after all, the magic net itself was a new thing, how could ordinary mages have such an opportunity to control a huge amount of energy? Ordinary mages can pinch a magic crystal and release a few over-limit spells, which is already considered a tyrant's behavior, and the city-level magic net on the territory can burst I don't know how many magic crystals......

Fortunately, the stupid roe deer's braincase is really hard, and human beings also have a self-protection mechanism of "fainting if they can't bear it", otherwise it would be really big......

"She's messing around a bit this time, but she's not messing around this time," Gawain said with some confusion, "and this time it's thanks to her nonsense that she gave us an idea to make new weapons." ”

"There's one thing I've always been curious about when it comes to Miss Rebecca," Carmel said suddenly, "and she's only one fireball, isn't she?" ”

Hetty nodded: "Yes, she will do this one, and she can't learn anything else." ”

But her fireball technique comes in a variety of forms and ...... level," Carmel's tone was confused and thoughtful, "I've seen her create ordinary small fireballs, large fireballs, fireballs like Flame Blast, this one bigger than the city gate, and I've seen her create two fireballs the size of bird's eggs to rub and play with in her hands...... Did anyone teach her this? ”

"She's also developed to play with walnuts with fireballs as texts?!" Gao Wen was taken aback, and then coughed dryly, "Ahem, no one taught her - and there are so many neurotic fireball rubbing techniques, what normal mage would study them?" , it's all her own usual thinking. ”

After all, the stupid roe deer can't do anything but rub the fireball, why don't you think about this?

Kamal looked more curious than before: "This is also an ability that she has had since she was a child?" ”

After receiving the affirmation of Gawain and Hetty, the ancient magister finally said his doubts: "Do you think there may be so many variations of fireball magic?" ”

“…… Actually, I was curious about this question a long time ago," Hetty was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "I also took her to a famous great magician in the southern region for advice, but the master couldn't tell what was wrong with Rebecca's magical talent. She can only rub fireballs, but she can rub fireballs with all kinds of incredible tricks......"

Gawain glanced at Hetty silently, and said in his heart that under his leadership, everyone in the territory began to default to the fireball being "rubbed" out - obviously not long ago, everyone said that the fireball technique was "released......

"I felt primitive and pure magic fluctuations in Miss Rebecca's fireball technique, and I suspect that the magic that looks like a fireball spell is actually just a high-temperature effect that she forcibly created with her huge magical power - it is only because the sphere is the easiest magical structure to stabilize itself, so this high-temperature energy cluster will take on the state of a fireball......"

Hetty's tone became slightly eager, "Master Carmel, do you understand what's wrong with Rebecca's magical talent?" ”

Although she often knocks on Rebecca's skull on weekdays, it is clear that she still cares deeply about the niece she brought up since childhood.

"No, I don't see what's causing Rebecca's weird spellcasting talent, but I suspect it...... She doesn't even know how to do fireballs," Kamel said slowly, "but I don't think it's a 'spellcasting flaw.'" If her fireball technique is a more essential release of magic, then it means that she has broken through the limitations of traditional mages on 'spell level' and 'skill', for her, fireball is not a first-level magic, nor is it a second-level or third-level magic - if we can understand the principle of her spells, maybe we can go even further in our research on the nature of magic. ”

Gawain finally knew the reason why Kamel was so obsessed with this question - it was because the series of "whys" he threw at the other party after the last successful development of the magic obelisk had sparked the ancient magister's enthusiasm for studying the nature of magic, and now he had developed to the point where he wanted to study any anomalous magical phenomenon he saw.

But then again...... Rebecca's strange fireball talent...... It's really worth looking into.

"I'll wait until Miss Rebecca recovers," Carmel quickly calmed down from the researcher's state, "and there are so many unknowns, I'll have to re-plan my work." ”

After the meeting, Gao Wen and the others left the government affairs hall one after another, and soon the conference room was deserted.

Kamel stayed last, floating from his seat, but before leaving, he heard a slight rattle from under the table, followed by a long tail poking first from the edge of the table to the table, and after two sweeps back and forth, Tyr rubbed his eyes and climbed up.

"Hah......" Miss Kraken seemed to have slept again in the second half of the meeting, and at this time she couldn't figure out the situation, "are you all gone?" ”

Then she stretched her upper body hard, her tail almost bounced against the wall in one breath, and after a lazy waist she shook her hair in satisfaction: "Go back to sleep, sleep ......"

Kamal looked at the kraken as if he hadn't noticed it at all, and couldn't help but break the silence: "Miss Tyr, please wait. ”

"Huh? And what about the one who didn't leave? Tyr paused for a moment, then glanced back slowly, "Oh, it's going to glow—you're asleep too?" ”

"I'll stay at the end," Carmel replied, not a joker, with a clear look, "Miss Tyre, I'd like to speak to you." ”

"What are you talking about?" Tyr raised his eyelids lazily, "If you want to study our Kraken's magic or technology, then forget it, we are completely different from you non-elemental creatures in terms of spells and technology, and the gap is bigger than the spell system of humans and elves." ”

"No, it's about those...... The thing about distortions. ”

Tyr just wanted to hurry back to sleep: "Aberration? Then you go to Gawain, he is professional, and he died in this field in his last life. ”

"It's about what you said on the walls today," arcane sparks flickered in Kamel's eyes, "You mentioned that aberrations are 'failures' that have not fully mutated in the Tide, and that they were not born from, but were transformed from...... Is that so? ”

"I wasn't so sure, but it probably meant the same," Tyr stopped yawning, her upper body lifted slightly under the support of the snake's tail, and she almost looked down at the floating Kamal, "No wonder I felt the energy reaction in your body at the time...... You say you were scared by a spell from Rebecca, but an ancient magister like you isn't so easily scared by a spell. ”

Kamal didn't speak, acquiescing to Till's statement.

"I've heard Gawain tell you the story of the Fortress of Disobedience, and your plans back then, and I'm very touched...... So I can probably guess what answer you want from me," Tyr lowered himself slowly, and then suddenly reached out to his abdomen - Kamal watched in horror as he saw the Kraken reach directly into his body, her torso, arms, and some of her clothes turned into a watery texture in the process, and Tyr groped in his stomach for a moment, and then pulled out a bone fragment with an ominous dark red hue from his body, She handed it to Kamel, "The answer is up to you to find it yourself - this bone fragment was found on the city walls, from an aberration, its chaotic magic has been purified by me, you can study it safely, but you need to hurry, it is disintegrating itself every moment." ”
