Chapter 178: Practical Dharma Seal

"Although the magic seal of the demon hunter is not very powerful, it does not need to be prepared for a long time like a warlock, and only needs to make a few standard magic seal postures with the magic power of the body......"

In the relatively large mechanical chamber, Givy Elle explained the characteristics of the Witcher's Seal to Leo in detail for the third time, and watched Leo Shi display an Ardennes Seal, forming a small magic circle around her. It's just that before this magic circle can form a magic cycle, it will automatically dissipate due to the subtle mistake in the posture of the magic seal in Leo's hand.

"Leo, you're already very good. Seeing Leo frowning and contemplating after the magic circle dissipated, Jivielle mistakenly thought that Leo was frustrated by his failure, so she comforted: "If a real demon hunter wants to truly master a magic seal, it will take more than ten years or even decades of continuous practice and use to do so. In less than a day, you've mastered the basic poses and trigger magic of the Ardennes Seal, which is pretty remarkable. ”

"Ciri, you're mistaken. Leo recovered from his contemplation and explained with a smile, "Although the magic circle created with the Adennes Seal just now failed, I am not frustrated, just like you said, I just need to practice a little more, and I believe it will not be long before I can truly master these Witcher Seals." ”

Jivielle was puzzled: "In that case, then why did you ...... just now?"

Leo replied, "I sense that the witcher's sigil is a little incomplete, as if it were ...... It seems to have been spun off from one kind of magic, and then part of another magic was added, and finally cobbled together. ”

"You're not wrong, the witcher's magic seal is a patchwork of warlock magic. Givie Elle nodded in acknowledging Leo's speculation, and explained, "When the monsters in my world first appeared, they were dealt with by warlocks. It's just that the status of the warlock is very noble, either the lord's cronies, or the king's favorite ministers, and they are not willing to let go of their identities at all and take action in person, so they created the witcher. It's just that although the witchers can deal with most of the monsters, they are still a little weak in the face of powerful monsters such as royal griffins and high-level vampires, so the warlocks specially selected a few kinds of magic from their own magic and transformed them into the magic seals of the witchers. ”

"I see. Leo looked stunned and fell back into deep thought.

In fact, when Leo cast the Ardennes Seal just now, it had already succeeded, but in the end, when the magic circle created by the Ardennes Seal was about to form a magic cycle, he felt that the Ardennes Seal seemed to have further changes in magic power, and there were also some defects, so he temporarily removed the magic circle to reduce the consumption of spiritual energy and avoid accidents.

The reason why Leo is so interested in the Witcher's Seal is because he has discovered that the Witcher's Seal is not like the Witcher's alchemy, which requires the power of nightmares to complete, and the Witcher's Seal is essentially a psionic skill. It's just that this psionic skill is different from psionic skills such as witchcraft, and there is a unique way to use it that needs to be relearned.

According to Givy El, there are five types of Witcher's Sigils, but she only has three, namely the Ardennes Sigil that creates a magic circle, the Quinn Sigil that creates a magical defense shield, and the Acxie Sigil that temporarily controls the minds of others. As for the other two sigils, they are all attack sigils, one is the Alpha sigil that can create shockwaves, and the other is the Ignyi sigil that can create flames.

Perhaps because she already regarded Leo as a friend, she also mentioned a little about why she hadn't learned the other two sigils, and this reason was also related to her personal affairs.

It turned out that her adoptive mother was a sorceress with great power and strength, and she looked down on the witcher's seal, thinking that the witcher's seal was just some useless gadgets, and that Givher Elle should learn the magic of a warlock, so without waiting for Givan Elle to learn all the knowledge of witches, she took her to a forest temple to learn the knowledge of warlocks.

After Leo learned about the magic seals of the witchers, he could feel that these magic seals were all specially created for combat, and all the magic seals could be cast in an instant while fighting with weapons, which was not much slower than activating psionic skills through his auxiliary brain system.

The only regret that Leo regrets is that even if he is able to cast the Witcher's Seal, he can't turn the Witcher's Seal into a psionic skill that can be recognized by the auxiliary brain system, and can only be used through repeated practice like the rune magic circle and other witchcraft he learned here.

Although he was unable to turn the Witcher's Seal into an approved skill of the Auxiliary Brain System, after becoming familiar with the Witcher's Seal, Leo decided to use the Witcher's Seal as one of his main opponents, because the Witcher's Seal consumed very little psionic energy, which made him feel incredible.

Crafting the simplest bottle of the Witcher's Swallow Elixir with the power of nightmares requires two points of Nightmare Power, which is four points of psionic power, but only three points of psionic energy are required to cast the most psionic sigil in order, and two points of psionic energy are consumed by the other two sigils. And the power of these witcher seals after being amplified by the twins was not much worse than the same kind of witchcraft he knew.

The fact that the twins have an amplification effect on the Witcher's Seal was discovered by Leo when he cast the Witcher's Seal, and this is one of the reasons why Leo is so interested in the Witcher's Seal.

Because of the need to use the magic seal gestures, the witcher can only use a single weapon, and swordsmanship such as dual swords cannot be used, so Leo also learned the fighting style and swordsmanship of the witcher when he asked Jiviel for advice on the magic seal of the witcher.

When mimicking the Witcher's fight, Leo only changed the Twins in his right hand into the Cross Sword mode, while his left hand remained in the Gauntlet mode, and in this way, he found that when he cast the Witcher's Sigil with his left hand, the Twins were able to form a strong amplification effect on the Sigil, and this effect far exceeded the amplification effect of the Twins Fist mode.

Later, he changed the crosssword in his right hand to the Sacrificial Knife mode, and this time the amplification effect was strengthened again, thus confirming that the Twins' enhancement effect on the Witcher's Seal was based on the strongest of the three modes.

However, it is precisely because of this amplification effect that the otherwise inconspicuous flaws in the Demon Hunter's Seal become particularly obvious, as striking as the cracks that appear after the rock has expanded.

While these flaws do not affect casting, they can be destabilizing after the sigil has been amplified by twins.

It's fine when you practice in normal times, but if you make a mistake when you face the enemy, it may cause fatal consequences. So what Leo wants to do now is to fix the flaws of the Demon Hunter's seal, even if it can't be completely repaired, so that the seal can remain stable after the amplification, and it won't go wrong.

It's just that the composition principle of the witcher's seal is completely different from the wizard's magic that Leo knows, and it is a completely new system, and when the warlock teaches the magic seal to the witcher, he also deliberately hides more core knowledge, which is like an ordinary person getting a car, knowing how to use it, but not knowing the principle.

Without understanding the deeper principles of magic of Warlocks from another world, Leo would not be able to make up for the shortcomings of the Witcher's spell seal, even if he had the right-hand man of the Vicebrain System.

"Ciri, can you tell me about the magic of a warlock?" After pondering for a moment, without a clue, Leo couldn't help but ask Givy Elle.

"I'm sorry!" things didn't go as Leo wanted, and Jiviel didn't think about it at all, so she directly shook her head and rejected Leo's request, but then explained, "I need the consent of the other person to teach the other people about warlocks, so ...... Sorry!"

"No, no, my request is excessive!" Leo said sincerely, "The knowledge of witchers you taught me in the past two days has helped me a lot. I'm a believer in equivalent exchange, and since you've taught me the knowledge you've been teaching me these days, I should give you something of equivalent value. ”

Jivielle shook her head and said, "No! Friends don't need to ......."

"No, friends should calculate these gains and losses clearly, otherwise, it will be difficult for friends to do it for a long time. Leo interrupted Givy El's words, and then showed his attitude without objection, followed him to look at Givy El, his eyes fell on Givy El's crossbow hanging from his waist, and said: "The power of your crossbow should not be very great, I will help you make a new crossbow, and by the way, make some destructive explosive arrows!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Jiviel to say no, and started fiddling with the parts directly on the workbench.

Seeing Leo's insistence on this equivalent exchange approach, Jiviel didn't say anything, plus she had long been interested in the mechanical parts on the workbench, and she was also quite curious to see Leo use those mechanical parts to make a bow and crossbow for herself, so she stood next to Leo and watched the assembly process carefully, hoping to learn something.

Leo also seemed to know very well what was going on in Gviarelle's mind, and he did not rush to make a bow and crossbow, but picked up every part on the table, explained the function of the parts to Gviarelle, and in order to show the function of these parts, he also assembled some tools such as mechanical locks and timers.

It wasn't until Givy Elle figured out the function of these parts and how to make them that she began to make the bow and crossbow in earnest.

The Blade Bow and Crossbow is the main weapon of the city guards in Lake Town against the Dream Spirit, so naturally there are a lot of related mechanical parts stored in this secret room.

However, Leo didn't plan to assemble a bladed bow and crossbow directly, because it would be difficult to replenish the right blade for the bow and crossbow after leaving Lake Town, so he still chose to make a regular bow and crossbow.

Leo didn't use too complicated parts to assemble this crossbow, because these parts are very delicate and have special powers, although in this dream world, the bow and crossbow made from these parts can exert extraordinary power, but it is unknown whether these parts can still have the same amplification effect without this world.

What's more, these parts are all specialties of this dream world, once they are lost, if they want to replenish in other worlds, even if they are also in the world of Velon, which has also entered the mechanical civilization, it is difficult to replenish it, and the civilization where Jiviel is located is still in the medieval world, so naturally it can't do it.

In the Old Earth era, although gunpowder weapons were already used as the main weapon, improvements to primitive long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows continued until the end of the Cosmic Age.

In the Earth Federation's Weapons Museum, there are more than one kind of bow weapon exhibits, and each exhibit has an extremely detailed structural description, and Leo has now directly selected a bow and crossbow with a suitable power and simple structure from these exhibits to improve.

Because of the abundance of materials and detailed structural drawings, it took Leo almost less than twenty minutes to assemble a mechanical bow and crossbow.

"Try it. Leo handed the assembled bow and arrows to Givie Elle, teaching her how to pull the string and how to play it, then pointed to the steel wall facing the lake and motioned to shoot that way.

Although it was only the first time she had used this weapon, Gvielle quickly got her hands on it, and skillfully put the arrows that Leo had taught her into the arrow box, and then shot them towards the steel wall not far away.

I saw that as Jivi Elle pulled the trigger, the arrow quickly shot out of the arrow groove, nailed to the steel plate, and stopped halfway into it, and the bow crossbow at this time, under the action of the internal mechanism, driven by the kinetic energy caused by the bow and crossbow just now, a new arrow was buckled on the arrow groove, and it was automatically wound, achieving the effect of continuous shooting.

"How's it going?" Leo asked politely, although he knew very well that under the supervision of the subbrain system, there could be no mistakes in the bow and crossbow he made.

"Very good! Very good!" Although Givy Elle didn't show much joy on her face, it was not difficult to tell from her tone that she was very satisfied with the crossbow.

Leo then asked for the crossbow again, and then explained the construction and assembly details of the bow in front of Gvielle, and disassembled the bow and crossbow in order of assembly.

After completely disassembling the crossbow, Leo gave up his seat and asked Gviel to sit at the workbench, and then took matters into his own hands to reassemble the bow and crossbow into dozens of parts.

After a few repetitions, Gvielle was already very familiar with the construction of the crossbow and how to maintain it.

After completing the crossbow, Leo began to make bomb arrows again, and instead of using the gunpowder of the special bullets as the raw material for the arrows, he used a witcher bomb called Foehn that Gvielle taught him, and made a dozen bomb arrows from the existing alchemy materials.

Due to the capacity of the arrow, there is not a lot of explosives in the arrow, so this bomb arrow cannot directly explode to kill the enemy. It is mainly when the arrow pierces the enemy or prey, the explosives in the arrow will be detonated, and the fragments of the arrow after the explosion can cause damage in the enemy's body, enough to cause fatal damage.

Because the arrows are very easy to make, Leo only made a dozen demonstratively, and Gvile Elle began to make them, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs from the sound transmission pipe in the secret room.
