One hundred and eighty-third Sura spell
"Who is it?" said Cotander, wiping his mouth with a hand towel, "I've been busy before, and I don't know anything about the defense. Most of the Salafist mages rounded up the thief before, and now most of them are resting, and the guards are indeed a little lax, could it be that the Witch King's spies have mixed in?"
"It could be the guards of the caravan, or the adventurers. Muhadi responded, "It's strange that my psionic powers can't detect any more information. ”..netbsp; Cotander nodded slowly, his gray beard fluctuating up and down. "I believe what you're saying is true, so let's go next door and find out. After a pause, the old mage said again. "Be ready to fight. ”
There is no need to be reminded of this, and Muhati will also adjust his body and mind to the best state of preparation. Needless to say, the soldiers he brought with him were not idle. Seeing that Lord Kotander and Master Muhadi were on full alert, they also became vigilant and guarded several doors to the room and the aisles outside.
Cotander led the Psychic Warlock to the door of the next room. He raised a hand and slowly tapped it three times, two long and one short.
There was no reaction behind the door, that is, no one came to answer the door, and no one shouted and asked. Muhadi suddenly felt a strange faint sound in his ears, and Kotand's body refracted colorful light like oil stains on the water, and it also had a strange smell. He understood that it was the old mage who activated some of the touch mages in his body, and he was particularly sensitive to this change due to synaesthesia. If it were someone else, he would only feel that the color on Lord Cotander's body seemed to have become a little darker, and he would never hear strange noises or taste strange tastes.
The old mage personally grabbed the stone ring on the wooden door and buckled it hard, but there was still no response. He coughed slightly, glanced at Muhadi, and motioned for him to follow.
The psychic warlock probed the room again, and it was still those strange fluctuations of thought, revealing strange friendliness and kindness, hypocritical and not like normal people's thinking.
Cotander pushed the door, locked it, and performed a simple lock-picking spell. This spell psychic warlock had never seen it before, so he carefully memorized the gestures and language components of the spell in his mind, and when he encountered this spell in the future, he would recognize it at a glance.
The door opened, and Cotander, pushing open the wooden door, was immediately taken aback.
The floor of the room actually sank into a large hole. You must know that this building is built above the shaft of the iron mine, and from here you can drill a hole and go directly down to the shaft of the mine. It's unclear what the intentions are, but it's certainly not a good thing.
There were several masked Buraku men in the room, and when they saw someone breaking in, they screamed and pounced, and the scimitars in their hands danced into the wind. Cotander showed a relentless figure on his face, and he didn't recite the spell at all, and the surging magical power burst out of his body, and the few enemies were either crushed or exploded from their bodies, and only three of them, perhaps lucky, were not within the scope of the spell's effect, and escaped.
This hand made Muhadi secretly surprised in his heart, he knew very well that in the world of Attas, spellcasting is to extract life force from the surrounding environment. If you don't have life force to extract, you can only extract your own life force, or use something like an obsidian orb to store your soul or other life ability for use. Spells that can be cast without external force do not exist in Atas.
But it was strange that Cotander had just unleashed several powerful spells at the same time, but it didn't seem to have any effect at all, and the surrounding plants didn't show any signs of wilting. What is the source of his power to cast spells? Cotander is a pioneer of the revolution, so naturally he will not engage in necromancy to imprison the soul to cast spells, how the hell did he do it?
Muhathir didn't know that Cotande's amazing hand just now was with the help of the effect of the chain accident technique.
Whether blasphemers or guardians, mages have ruled Athas for countless centuries, and have been the highest-end power in this world since the Age of Magic, and even the suppressed ancient psychic sorcerers and alternative Starch Spencer druids are a little overwhelmed, and there is a natural reason. Unlike psionic energy, which varies from person to person, the magic in this world is closer to the natural sciences on earth, with a rigorous system and logical research methods. All kinds of spells emerge in an endless stream, claiming to be omnipotent, and naturally they are much stronger than psionic energy and druid magic.
The chain accident technique is a mage's trick, because most of the mages have mediocre hand-to-hand combat ability, and the spell casting conditions of Atas are particularly harsh, and when they don't necessarily want to cast spells, there is vitality around them to extract, and if they fall into the depths of the desert without vegetation, the mages will almost lose all their combat effectiveness.
The Chain Accident Technique was created during the Battle of Purification to make up for these shortcomings of the mages. The secret of it is that it allows the caster to cast a spell beforehand, and then "store" the effects of the spell without taking effect immediately. The caster can then set the conditions for the touch according to their own needs. Once the conditions are met, the effects of these stored spells will be instantly activated. Touching conditions can be the presence of hostile mobs around you, self-injury, or the ability to see a specific target within the visual range, to name a few. If a mage is attacked by an assassin, even if he himself has not reacted, the accident spell he has stored in advance can be touched at the moment when the blade reaches the body, and multiple protective spells can be launched, which greatly strengthens the survivability of the ** masters.
Because the spells that are stored are all cast in advance. Therefore, it is equivalent to that Kotander has already paid for the life force that needs to be consumed by magic once, and now he is just guiding the stored power to be released, so naturally he does not need to consume some life force, so he also has the experience effect of random spell casting in Muhadi's eyes.
The remaining few enemies saw that their companions were instantly restrained, and they did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and still flew up bravely. When Kotander prepared a dynapotic technique to bring out the group once and for all, Muhadi restrained him. "Leave a living mouth!" the psychic warlock didn't dare to use his psionic energy to directly project his thoughts to the ** master in battle, so he shouted.
Cotander understood, and decided to cast a less powerful spell. The brilliance of the spell lit up again, the air shook by the powerful magical power trembled, and the old mage usually coughed incessantly. But once you cast your magic, it's like a different person. Not only did the cough disappear, but even the waist straightened a lot, and the whole person seemed to be refreshed. It seems that the body that has been destroyed by the revolution for many years has returned to its peak state, and the powerful aura makes it difficult to look directly at this old man.
There was no suspense, and the remaining few enemies were captured alive, although the body was not very complete, it was still okay. Anyway, all Muhati needed was for them to have a brain, and as a psychic man, he didn't even need the mouths of these people.
"What's the matter with the big hole in the ground?" he began to project pure and unadulterated pain directly into the hearts of these people, "who is your leader?"

P.S. Someone forwarded me a review of the book, which made me laugh and be a little dissatisfied. There are people who have not read the book and who have attacked my ethnic and religious identity. It is ridiculous to even fabricate rumors without substantiation. The book also deals with the question of race between elves and halflings, between humans and humanoids. The views of nations can cause great differences, and if there are really multiple intelligent races like Atas coexisting, I don't know what kind of violent conflict it should be. My pen power is limited, and even if I deliberately copy, it is far from the same after all. Actually, what I wrote this novel about the Nine Astronomical Road lacked.
