The Moonlight Rats quickly caught up with the group, happily handing over the "Sparkling Twinkle" they had found to the Assassin Lady Totoro. Thirty Star Gold was piled up at her feet, and the nearby mercenaries let out a low exclamation, they had never seen such a large fortune in their lives.
An assassin in Tsing Yi quickly put away the gold coins and handed them to the leader. My Neighbor Totoro praised the moonlight rats in a rare soft tone, and their treacherous little faces also smiled, as if they enjoyed the affirmation and praise of their owners.
"Is this My Neighbor Totoro?" Clifford struggled not to look at the gold coins, which had nothing to do with him from the moment they were shot down. He knew this very well, or Totoro wouldn't mind turning his face with him, so he struggled to turn his attention to the strange mice.
"It's a moonshine rat. My Neighbor Totoro had just made a small fortune and was in a good mood, so she introduced two additional sentences, "Usually just ordinary pets, but they have higher intelligence and stronger in the moonlight." ā
My Neighbor Totoro paused and chuckled, "Most importantly, it's more ferocious. ā
"How ferocious?" said Clifford, intriguing.
"There can be 4 challenge levels under the half moon and 8 challenge levels under the full moon. ā
Clifford gasped, 8 challenge level monsters, at least 9 career levels or even 10 career level professionals can defeat alone. In other words, they can only deal with one at a time, and considering the size of the Moonlight Rat, they are even more difficult than professionals of the same level.
Because of the situation of professional encirclement, due to the limited surrounding space, only 3 people can form an effective encirclement at most, and 4 people can easily get in the way of each other. In the case of being surrounded by moonlight rats, there can be at least a dozen of them that can form an effective attack, and rats will crawl on people and animals, and then there will be not a dozen but dozens of them. Just thinking about the moonlight rats crawling on his body makes Clifford feel creepy.
There seemed to be the smell of blood in the darkness, and the moonlight rat squeaked and communicated with Totoro. She listened intently for a while, then took out 10 Star Gold from her purse and handed it to Clifford, "The plan has changed, now take your people to the back." Soon someone will catch up, whoever it is, kill them, this is the commission. ā
The mercenaries of the fleur-de-lis cheered in a low voice, they thought that this time there would be no gain, but they didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, 100,000 gold coins everyone can get a lot! And this kind of thing to block the enemy, maybe it is safer than the work of pathfinding, I heard that the front is an ancient ruin, this kind of place has always been dangerous, now you can avoid facing the danger, and you can get the money, it's really good!
My Neighbor Totoro divides the remaining Stellar Gold into two parts, keeping 10 for himself and distributing the other 10 to the team leader, who then distributes it within the team. The subordinates who received the reward were also very happy, such a large reward is not common, although this means that the next battle will be difficult, but where is the value of gold coins? For the Assassins, they may die in a corner or in a stinking ditch one day.
Tang Mo is still staying in the City Lord's Mansion, the situation has been a little tense recently, and the city is safer than the manor outside. Reading books, learning magic, polishing the spirit, meditating and practicing spells are indispensable every day. He had a feeling that he was already on the verge of a second-level mage, and Tang Mo was a little surprised by such a speed of progress, which was even faster than the progress in the apprenticeship stage in the previous two years. Although I haven't figured out what the reason is, it's always a good thing, maybe it's the result of years of accumulation?
Tang Mo felt that the attack methods of junior mages were still a little weak, especially the power was not strong, and the casting distance was not enough, in the face of melee professions such as warriors, it was easy to be shortened by the opponent, and if the opponent was an archer or something, there was an embarrassment that the opponent could not reach the opponent.
However, as a mage with a lineage, it is this superiority that Tang Mo found the right technique in the knowledge imparted by Calvin. Spell Range, which greatly increases the spell's effective range, and if you are skilled enough, doubling the cast range is no problem at all.
Spells are leveled up, and some spells have different levels. For example, the minimum magic missile is a level 1 spell, which can only send out 1 missile at a time, while a level 3 magic missile can send out 2 missiles, and of course the power of the missile has also increased. 3 missiles for level 5, 4 missiles for level 7, up to 5 missiles for level 9.
Spell Ready, cast a spell beforehand, and after completion, do not do the final cast action for a while, so that it enters the Ready to Shoot state. Keep the previous spell as it is and cast a second spell, and when the latter spell is complete, both spells are cast at the same time.
The Karl Literature Party provided the official mage with a meditation method that could be used at the highest level, and the subsequent master level did not provide it in advance because there were too few people who could advance, but this was enough for Tang Mo for a long time.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Tang Mo closed his eyes tightly, gathered his mind, and carefully experienced the ubiquitous elements around him. Sight, hearing, touch, smell, all the senses gradually faded, only the feeling of mental space became clearer and clearer. Tang Mo "saw" that he was sitting on a platform, the platform was only a dozen meters square, the bottom did not touch the ground, and the top and surroundings were empty and empty, only storms and ocean currents formed by various energies.
Among them, the elemental energy is the most conspicuous, red fire, white wind, blue water, yellow earth, and tiny points of light representing the four elements fall on the "platform" from time to time, and are absorbed and transformed by Tang Mo's spiritual world little by little. The red fire element was extremely lively, and countless red dots clustered towards the platform, dyeing the nearby imprint a bright red, which showed that in terms of energy, Tang Mo was a mage of the fire attribute.
There are other colors such as gold, silver, and black in the sky in all directions, but the most is purple, which represents the most basic and primitive state of energy, arcane energy. As a true mage, you need to have a deep understanding of this energy, no matter what kind of energy is transformed from it, understanding it can not only deepen your understanding of the nature of spells, but also increase your resistance to all kinds of spells in practical terms.
The advanced meditation method worked very quickly and the effect was very good, and Tang Mo quickly ended today's meditation. He now feels that he is in a very good state, very comfortable, and pleasant, if it is not for excessive meditation, it is useless, but harmful to the body, Tang Mo really wants to keep meditating. Sometimes he thought to himself, maybe he would continue to meditate like this, and when he opened his eyes, he would be a high-level mage, but unfortunately this was impossible, Tang Mo had to regret going to the next practice today.
Coming to the special spell training ground, the ground here was originally paved with heavy rocks, but soon under the ravages of spells over and over again, the ground was already in tatters. Tang Mo didn't deliberately destroy the ground, most of the time his spell target was still a special target, and if he didn't have enough spells, accidents were always inevitable, and the control of the spell casting range was not an easy thing.
Many times, after a spell has flown a certain distance, the mage is no longer able to control the direction and power of its flight. Some crappy mages lose control of a spell as soon as it leaves the palm of their hand, a skill that requires not only talent, but also long-term and diligent practice.
Although Tang Mo struggled to control the spell that broke away from the palm of his hand, he still had to fly a long distance before it hit the target, and controlling it during this period required additional mental power and mana, which could reduce the combat endurance. But if you don't control it, the effect may not be guaranteed, which is a dilemma, and it depends on how to choose between the teachers in the specific situation.
Tang Mo stood still and began to chant, accompanied by gestures, and three seconds later, a fireball appeared in his hand. The fireball left his palm and began to circle around his body, Tang Mo continued to chant the incantation, and soon the second fireball also coiled around its body, but it was not over yet. Sweating slightly, the third fireball happily joined the ranks of the two partners in front of him.
Tang Mo carefully experienced the feeling of controlling three fireballs at the same time, this was already his current limit, and the "fishing net" woven by his spiritual power was becoming more and more unable to catch these three energetic "big fish", and they were jumping and jumping in the net restlessly. When Tang Mo felt that he was finally about to lose his stability, he raised his hand and three fireballs flew towards the target a hundred meters away.
The three fireballs lined up in a line, and Tang Mo struggled to control their direction, finally hitting the intended target before it was about to get out of control. The stainless steel plate armor hanging on the wooden stake was hit by a fireball, sparks flew everywhere, the plate armor made a creaking sound of bearing force, the surface was pitch black, and the temperature rose rapidly, if there were people inside at this time, I am afraid that it would have been roasted.
But this is not the end, soon the second fireball hits, the hit part begins to melt, the third fireball comes, hits again in the same position, a large hole breaks in the place where it was hit, and the fireball roars into the inside, exploding inside. Huge energy was released nowhere, raging inside the plate armor, blasting it away with a loud muffled thud.
Tang Mo carefully felt the feeling of casting the spell just now, and he found that after casting the second fireball, there was a certain balance between them at a certain moment, and as a result, the energy consumed to maintain them was a little smaller than expected, which was why he was able to reluctantly cast the third fireball.
In this case, the addition of the third fireball should also be able to achieve a new balance with the first two. Once this state is formed, it will inevitably greatly reduce the consumption of mana energy. Tang Mo was very excited about this discovery, maybe he could add more fireballs in the future, and the difficulty could be controlled within a certain range.
