Verse 143: The Tin Man
The western campus of the Mannheim Academy has a grove full of lime trees.
In the middle of summer, this large area of lime trees blooms just right, lush, leafy, like a canopy, if you take a nap in the shade at noon, it is very pleasant, but at night, the trees in the forest are always a little gloomy, at first glance it seems to be ghostly.
"The harsh wind blows the surface of the feet, and the will of Tuoba is ......"
There seemed to be a faint sound coming from the forest, and it sounded even more weird, and if you entered it, I was afraid that it would scare the faint faint.
I saw that in the fragmented and scattered moonlight divided by the occupation of the lime tree, there was a white figure shuttling back and forth quickly.
There are ghosts!
It's a shame that there is no one near the left, otherwise I'm afraid I would have shouted like this.
And when the figure stopped, it was realized that it was not a ghost, just a person.
It's Norman.
After he got the new three spells today, his heart was itching, and he started the experiment that night. It's just that after the mage's assessment, he still has some nostalgia for his special way of casting spells, and he doesn't want to show it in front of people if he doesn't have to, so after dinner, he wandered around the campus, and finally got into this woods that looked eerie and experimented.
And what he was experimenting with just now was smearing oil on the soles of his feet.
Norman's body is not completely healed now, and his strength feels like he has only recovered to one-third of his pre-injury level, and his legs are not very strong, but after he blessed himself with oil on the soles of his feet just now, he ran fast and felt that he was as light as a swallow. In terms of speed alone, it was even faster than when he was in good health!
"Good things ......"
Norman muttered to himself, having made this level 1 spell oil on the soles of his feet one of his core spells at this stage.
Once blessed with this spell, combined with his intact physical fitness, he may even be able to dodge some of the spells cast by the mages, such as the Ice Dagger!
When the time comes, I will use this speed to get close to the bodies of those mages, so that they will not have a chance to chant incantations, and directly fight with their physical bodies.
With such an unexpected melee mage routine, it is difficult to defeat a mage whose spellcasting ability is stronger than him......
Norman was thinking about it when he suddenly moved his senses, and subconsciously looked up and saw a person slowly approaching in front of him.
This guy was tightly covered with armor all over his body, and he still wore a certain helmet on his head, he was simply a tin man, holding a stick with both hands, and it was still a little terrifying to look at in the moonlight of the shattered jungle.
In addition to the tin man in front of him, Norman found that there were also such tin men to the left, right and rear, and when he looked at it, there were as many as eight tin men in total, and each tin man was holding a large stick.
What the hell is this?
Norman was puzzled by the strangely dressed men, but that didn't stop him from judging the malice of the tin men—they were dressed like this, holding sticks, and obviously not here to massage him.
Looking at this situation, it's almost as good as wanting to dismantle him.
Norman was assassinated by Leoper, and has experienced nine deaths in the Aether Labyrinth, and now his ability to react to crises is quite fast, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately rushed to his left without thinking!
He is now blessed with oil on the soles of his feet, and his movements are extremely fast, and these guys who suddenly appear are not strong, but they have to wear this whole set of armor, so they are not agile, but the other party has the advantage in numbers after all.
Norman saw that he was about to run out of the gap between the two tin men on the left, but the sticks of the two men on this side had already been knocked on the head, and the tiger was in the wind.
Norman thought for a moment in the lightning, and saw that even if he was desperately injured, the result would only be to be stopped by these two powerful sticks, not only could not rush out, but would be injured and injured, so finally he turned his footsteps, passed in front of the two, and after half a circle, he returned to his original position, and the two people's sticks also hit the ground, making two muffled sounds, breaking a piece of dirt.
After missing this opportunity, the Tin Men went one step further, the encirclement was tighter, and the gaps between each other were smaller.
Norman couldn't rush out just now, and he can't rush out now.
The sudden situation made the earth mages who watched his live broadcast immediately noisy, and Norman didn't care about it, thinking about countermeasures on his own.
At first, he thought of using spells to deal with the crisis in front of him, and after the idea came to him, he finally realized why the first page of the "Mage's Handbook" issued to him by the church said "The strength of a mage is wisdom, not strength".
Because the mage has too many spells, even he, who has only learned spells for two days, has a bunch of spells in his head: adhesion, silent portal, ice dagger, secret skill mark, oil on the soles of his feet......
He had to pick the most suitable one out of them, and that really needed wisdom.
Adhesions? Nothing works.
Silent portal?
Ice Dagger? No, the Ice Dagger uses sharp ice chips to kill enemies, and the opponent is wearing armor, and the Ice Dagger has no effect on them at all.
......
Another advantage of being mentally strong is that the brain spins very fast.
In the blink of an eye, Norman found the most suitable option at the moment.
Just give this a try!
Immediately after deciding on this, Norman recited the incantation, and one of the tin men saw the scene and spoke.
This was the first time these tin men had spoken since they appeared.
"Give up your resistance, your ice dagger won't be able to penetrate our armor!"
Obviously, the other party came prepared, and the Knights Templar even guessed who the other party was, and urgently provided the information to Norman, hoping to help him a little.
"It's likely that the mage you threatened with the spell Ice Dagger on the night of the freshman rally, the green-haired schoolboy!"
It is not difficult to deduce that Norman had no grudges in Mannheim, and the only time he had a holiday with anyone was the night of the freshmen's assembly. Moreover, the other party wore a suit of armor so strangely, obviously very jealous of Norman's ice dagger, so the green-haired student mage was even more in line.
At the same time, the number of people watching Norman's live stream is also rising.
Every time Norman casts a spell, there are a lot of people watching the live broadcast, and just now, too, it reached a new peak of nine thousand eight. And now seeing that Norman was suddenly attacked, the old audience did not leave, and the new audience kept coming in, and the number of people was even more, breaking through 10,000 for the first time, and the barrage was also bursting.
And as the focus of everyone, Norman used rap skills to quickly finish the spell, but suddenly the spell froze.
A tin man behind him on his right suddenly spoke, "Rush!"
When the other tin men heard this, their spirits perked.
According to the agreement, this slogan means that "Allen" has been hit by the panic technique, and they can safely and boldly rush up and beat this guy!
"Rush!"
The other tin men also launched a cry of victory, and ran towards Norman with all their might, all of them wearing tin sheets.
All those who attempt to challenge the order of the academy must be severely punished to set an example!
