Chapter 58: The Secret of Transfiguration
"What do you mean by that?"
"The kind of buried ice armor that is wrapped in a thick layer of ice can swim in the ice like a fish in water and earth elements in stone and dirt...... And they can feel the subtle vibrations of people who come into contact with snow and ice within a few tens of meters around them!"
Based on what he had known about Kurgal when he was on Earth, Thomas knew that this man would only exaggerate and be biased at best, but he would not mislead by talking nonsense: "Well, just like a fishing cat dipping its whiskers in water, you can feel the changes in the current brought about by the fish." ”
His hand, which was originally stroking Baihua's chin, instead touched the transparent tiny fluff on the cat girl's face, in exchange for a disdainful look of "this slave wants to rebel". Her skin is supple and supple.
Ranger 1 Ring Magic can simulate bat ultrasound to locate, and it is normal for monsters to have the ability to sense vibration. Sometimes, it's useless to hide it seamlessly. And with the growth of listening skills, level 9 rangers can hear the details within five or six meters clearly under the effect of the 2-ring divine technique, as if they were visual.
Nodding approvingly, Thomas smiled at Kurgal: "Very good, being able to prescribe the right medicine according to the monster's strengths and weaknesses, that's what a mage is all about!"
The mage's eyes narrowed with a smile, and her chest straightened and straightened.
"But this aunt is too clumsy," said the gnome, looking at her slightly bulging belly under her mage's robes, "it will be easy to spot by monsters, which reminds me of a poor Kand thief who ate too much to run past the chasing carapaces, and of course you should know that even if the kanders are boasted of in folklore as good as thieves, the most suitable race is still the gnomes, especially the whispering gnomes of the tribe full of cruel killers...... Mmmmmm
The gnome who was running the train with his mouth full of mouth was pulled by Kurgal in the face and pulled hard, and he had to stop.
The female mage emphasized while tugging: "It's really rude, you have to call my sister." Understand, sister!"
"You Muggles don't know the true power of magic, I can transform into a ...... with just a 2-ring spell," Kurgal suddenly thought of the kind of hybrid with elven ears, dwarf noses, human cheeks, orc chins, dwarf eyes, and large pincers, so disgusting, and the cave lurkers, whose skin mimicry ability required a lot of bare skin. She'd be unscrupulous if someone wasn't there, but now it's hot as long as the gaze sweeps over.
Reciting the incantation, she turned into a hybrid with big and small eyes, pig ears, pig nose, and grinning teeth, and deliberately leaned towards the ranger affectionately:
"You don't dislike me, do you?"
"Of course ......not," Thomas said cooperatively, vomiting
"You obviously dislike me. Okay, it's going to be cut in two!" the mage fanned her ears and said in a delicate tone.
"Give me a little more time, I'll get used to it when I vomit and vomit......"
"Don't talk, kiss me ......"
A punch knocks down the foul-spirited Kurgal, and Thomas roars, "Replace it! stop disgusting me...... I'm not your kind of comedian......"
Casting the spell again, the female mage turned into a lanky and tall cave lurker, and everything else was fine but hairless......
"These are the descendants of a nomadic tribe of the Kallinshan who were captured in the first underground city of Drow, and it is unknown if it was because of the leyline radiation or the transformation of Drow. ”
Her skin had changed color according to the environment, and if she were naked, she might have been better able to hide than Thomas.
"Awesome, awesome!" Thomas exclaimed, "Self-transformation is really a good spell, I'm afraid it's not the strongest spell in the mage's 2 rings?" But ......"
He changed his words: "If I can use it, it will be really powerful." You can't do it......"
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary in you. ”
Leaving the dwarf and the Drow assassin to help Slorin take care of the house, Thomas took the two sisters out of the cave and walked to a place where no one was around, and then whispered: "Because I am different from the rest of you who have crossed over, I am a visitor from another world who is directly clothed in the flesh." My soul and body are not of this world, so I'm not humanoid, I'm an otherworldly creature!"
Depending on the environment, physiology, characteristics, spells, etc., scholars will include undead, automata, plants, elementals, ...... All living things are classified into multiple types.
With the 2-ring spell, Kurgal can only transform into humanoids such as humans, elves, dwarves, cavemen, etc., while Thomas can transform into angels, demons, and demons with a small difference in size.
"Grass! You are an otherworldly creature, that is, you can turn into an angel or a monster?" Kurgal couldn't help but scold: "Does that mean that the things you can change are basically the strongest in the same level......?" What a crossing perk!"
Transformation spells are the most powerful and versatile of mage spells, but spells with 2 and 4 rings can't turn into the most powerful creature type and otherworldly creature, and normally you can't do it until 9 rings.
But the 9-ring spell is not far from stepping into the legend......
casually cast a human enlargement on Thomas, and it didn't work.
"Well, humans become more powerful and less agile, and humans shrink the opposite, neither of which are suitable for archers. So I can't eat buff spells and I don't lose money. ”
Kurgal nodded, "Well, and the spells of seducing humans and immobilizing humans are not effective against you...... It's no wonder that the two paladins of Mina and the True Silver Valkyrie look at you very strangely, and they dare to treat you as an angel. ”
"It's a pity that I can't cast the self-transformation spell yet, woohoo!
"If you can use transfiguration, will others still have a way to live?...... 4 rings deformed, I will too. ”
Kurgal had prepared a spell for the Flame Arrow, intending to make his arrows carry flames so that he could show off them. Unexpectedly, the poet killed halfway, and the gain amplitude of the 3-ring spell actually became scum in front of the Creation Dragon Song, which made her feel a serious sense of frustration. However, most of the undead creatures are weak against fire and ice, and the flame arrows are still somewhat useful.
"Ah, that won't work. In the words of the game, it takes level 7 to become a powerful angel, otherwise the attributes of the little angel and the little devil are not as strong as mine. If the spell of the 2nd ring can be put on someone else, it is a pity that only the caster can use it. ”
The 2-ring transformation will not change the character's basic attributes, but the 4-ring transformation will change the strength and agility to the level that the new form should have!
Kurgal knows that his strength and agility are very low, so if he doesn't have a few ring transformations, he will not lose money. However, the strength and agility of the archers are very high, and it will be more advantageous to transform into a powerful angel if the 4-ring transformation is also required.
Every evil mage who is careful enough should know that otherworldly creatures are the strongest type of creatures, and angels are much stronger than demons and demons. Those who don't remember don't deserve to be mages at all, and they usually quickly become another credit sheet for angels and paladins.
Kurgal was a little out of breath, and after ordering her to remove the black ice gloves, Thomas took her hand and climbed up the mountain.
"Your physique is really getting worse and worse, don't come out of altitude sickness...... If you can't hold it, just tell me......"
"Oh, look at what you said. A dish that is higher than my entire month's salary can experience life in the wild as a scout, what can't I, a child from a poor family, hold?"
"That's all about the earth, what are you doing here......"
During the casual conversation, the three of them approached the location of the Crystal Tower, and the army camp that had been destroyed by the Ten Towns, the dwarves, and the barbarians a hundred years ago was around, and some flags and tents had not been completely buried.
Thomas felt that those must have been used by giants or ogres in the army of Akar Kessou.
In the distance, he saw a crater in the ground that had been left behind by burying the ice armor after it got up. The three of them decisively stopped, so as not to fall into a heavy encirclement.
In addition to the two bows, the Dwarven Priest was asked to help craft another 1-ring wand for awakening the Hunt skill, which resonated with the 2-ring spell. After all, that spell doesn't depend too much on the level of mana, it can last for a day directly, and you can save spell slots with a wand.
Theoretically, the 2-ring primordial instinct should also be made into a wand, after all, the 2-ring wand does not consume much soul ability/experience points, and the expensive inlays and powder required to make the wand are not a big problem because the dwarves pat their chests.
However, it takes days on end to provide the spell for the purpose of making the wand. There simply can't be so many hours and spells......
Even if you don't talk about the 2 rings, the 1 ring spell slot was also declared out after casting the buff spell for himself and Baihua, and Kurgal couldn't rub the spell that couldn't snow blind and see through the wind and snow, so he just put on the snow goggles.
After the magic buff, the Ranger Falcon-like eyes saw through the thick flying snow hundreds of meters away, and the Magic Crystal Tower and the surrounding enemies appeared in front of him.
"What kind of sniper locations do snipers choose?"
"It should not be too high and too obvious; it should be a little higher than the sniper target for easy overview; there is difficult terrain in front to delay the enemy's movement; there is a rear road to facilitate retreat; the wind direction should not be crosswind, preferably against the wind to prevent odor exposure; against the sun to interfere with vision; choose to attack on the right side of the literate enemy......"
"The height is satisfied, the enemy is undead, so you don't have to think about the sun......"
While talking softly, he searched for a suitable sniper spot. At a hillock pointed out by Thomas, Kurgal threw the rope upwards: "Okay, get inside, and you can look out from the air, so you don't have to worry about contact with the ground......
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Thomas couldn't help but admire. Baihua looked at him a little puzzled.
The three climbed onto the rope in turn and disappeared into the air.
The Ranger took his seat directly opposite the exit, and Baihua held a telescope on his shoulder to assist in observation. The female mage was not allowed to get close to the cat for a while, so she had to cower in the corner.
"Here's this," Thomas took out his phone and threw it over, "It's bound to my field of vision, you can use it to watch live broadcasts." ”
Kurgal replied with disgust, clicked on the music player on his phone, opened the opera storytelling playlist and listened to it beautifully.
"Your phone is so hard to use......"
"Microsoft's WP phone, I haven't seen it. After all, you're a weird guy who even learned to use Android late......"
Kurgal snorted.
Judging from the picture, the Magic Crystal Tower is almost finished. The undead and the forces of goblins, goblins, orcs, and dwarves were grouped in different areas, separated by barbarians who had taken refuge in Kaisso. After all, no one wants to get close to the undead creatures, and dwarves and goblin orcs want to fight when they meet.
"Look at that place, the humanoids walked in, and the undead came out......" said Thomas, who had been observing for a long time.
After looking at it for a while, Kurgal pondered for a while, and his face became more and more ugly: "Except for the kind of Winter Derivation that serves as the commander of the undead, Buried Ice Armor, Demon Zombies, and Corpse Demons can all be mass-produced with living people or corpses! ”
"In other words, Kaisuo can casually turn a miscellaneous fish with high production and combat power like a goblin into a buried ice armor? That's amazing, you can use this kind of intelligent undead as an army...... How are they infected?"
"Not necessarily, it's usually the use of some tactics to kill humans or freeze to death. For example, the most powerful kind of burial ice armor is said to be made by dragging a person under the ice and waiting for him to suffocate...... Luckily, the snow and ice in the Dwarven Valley are not too thick. ”
"It doesn't seem like this battle can be fought...... At first, I thought it was evenly matched, or about the same. Now the opponent's chess pieces are all rooks ......"
"It's chess, and the opponent can turn a pawn into a knight at will......"
Although Akar Kaisso's troops are large, if they are all goblins and miscellaneous fish, it is not difficult to deal with the dwarves. The more Thomas and Kurgal looked at it, the more they felt that the odds were slim.
"As Du Shaoling said, the thief first captures the king, and scolds the mother first. Kurgal said, "Have you sniped Kaisso?"
Thomas nodded, and the picture in his hand shook: "Looking at a person who looks like a spellcaster, I will shoot it over." It seemed to hit the heart neighborhood, but there was not a bird thing. ”
"Probably caused by becoming undead, but unfortunately you don't have a good bow that allows you to load a real death crystal. ”
"It doesn't have much effect, and I suspect that under the defense of the Black Ice Armor, the True Death Crystal can only try its luck. ”
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw a figure with a staff in hand come out of the tower, surrounded by undead creatures and golems.
"This should be Kaisuo, find a way to kill him?"
"Day!" "Kurgal couldn't help but exclaim, "This thing is really rich!"
"Golems! He has three Golems!oh......" She looked at her phone, "two, and the other is a shield defender." More valuable than a golem. ”
The female mage's face was distorted, and she was murderous: "No wonder you didn't die with an arrow, using a sniper rifle...... No, you can't kill a bazooka! It looks like I'm going to take out the Italian cannon......"
