Chapter 319: The Misty Forest
"Yes, Witch Lin is indeed mostly street hustlers, but do you know where the term Witch Lin came from in the first place?" Berg asked, glancing back at Nina.
Nina searched her memories carefully, and then recalled, "If my memory is not biased, the term 'Lin Witch' should have appeared six hundred years ago at the point when wizards went from prosperity to decline. Until then, both men and women, as long as they used witchcraft, were all called wizards. The key event that led to the wizard's decline from prosperity to decline was the mysterious death of the so-called 'greatest wizard in history' Hua Wu. Legend has it that because of the death of Hua Wu, the originally unbreakable wizarding alliance was leaderless overnight and fell apart. In such a chaotic situation, a team of female wizards under Hua Wu's descendants was disheartened by the status quo, and turned away from the wizards' strife, leaving the land of right and wrong to hide in a no-man's land......" Nina reacted immediately: "Huh? Do you mean ......"
Berg shook his head and said, "Although it is true that the nearby villages have had such legends for hundreds of years, since no one has seen them, we can't be sure whether this rumor is true or not. It is also uncertain whether the fog was planted by the secluded Witch of the Woods. The only information we have at the moment is that there are indeed secrets hidden under those fogs that we don't know. ”
After listening to Berg's words, An An also became interested in the misty forest, so he asked, "What's wrong with that misty forest?" ”
Layla replied, "The fog in the forest doesn't look special, but it has the effect of hallucinogenic stunning. The situation is not serious in the fog at the edge of the forest, but as soon as people walk in the center of the forest, they will be unconscious or hallucinate. It is precisely because of the existence of this tricky area that it is not easy for us or the people on the high ground to walk to the other side, so we can only take a detour and take a winding path. In a way, the existence of this misty forest does protect the Celestial Glowing Country. ”
"Where's the path?" An An asked.
Layla pointed to an area covered in the shadow of the forest and said, "It's a different path, but the actual exit is at the edge of the Misty Forest. Because there is a fog covering there, the people of the highlands are also much more hidden when they appear in the territory of the celestial side, which is also a big disadvantage for us. At present, the only countermeasure we can think of is to send out sentinels as much as possible, and report as soon as there is any trouble. ”
I see. An An raised his head and looked at the cliff on the side of the high ground in the distance again, then glanced at Nina again, and then said unhurriedly: "You know about the situation here, how about it?" Is there a solution? ”
Nina also glanced back at An An unhurriedly, and said, "Almost, I already have a prototype of a plan." ”
"Plans? What is the plan? ”
"Plans? What is the plan? ”
Layla and Berg said in unison, they were clearly a little surprised by what Nina had just said. Because in their eyes, Nina followed An An to the border land just to experience life for sightseeing.
An An glanced back at the two of them, and said a little helplessly: "What do you think I brought her here from Shuangyue City all the way to?" Of course, because her abilities are essential to us now. ”
As she spoke, Nina began to move unhurriedly.
She pulled a small delicate metal ball out of her bosom, then suddenly threw it in the direction of the Misty Forest.
Although Nina threw a beautiful arc, the others in the room didn't expect Nina to throw the ball into the Misty Forest. After all, although the forest seemed to be not far from where everyone was, it only looked like it compared to the breadth of the entire forest. Not to mention Nina, a little girl, even the most powerful soldier in the army, I am afraid that he will not be able to throw such a long distance, so most of everyone is surprised by Nina's behavior.
But who knows, Nina smiled very confidently at this time, the metal ball suddenly began to deform rapidly before it was about to land, and then even grew wings, flew quickly close to the ground, and finally rushed up, directly tied into the mist of the forest.
Nina explained, "I made a little bit of an improvement to the mechanical bird I bought yesterday, and it seems that the flight effect is not bad! ”
Although Nina "modestly" said that she had only made "a little" improvement, in fact, her improvement was almost the same as the magic change. Not to mention the flying ball, there is no trace of bird form at all, and there is a great improvement in the details, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to associate the two things together.
And as soon as Nina's improvement results came out, even a layman could immediately see the strange subtleties of Nina's technique, which made people have to sigh: In terms of engineering and machinery, Nina is really a genius!
Not only that, but then Nina also looked up at the cliff on the opposite high ground, and then unhurriedly put her strange-shaped magic weapon on the nearby stone, and then injected mana into it, and the staff began to faintly emit light, and a powerful shock wave instantly hit the cliff on the opposite high ground from where everyone was, and the visual effect was really shocking! It was as if the entire cliff was going to be shaken!
However, the imaginary scene did not happen. The shockwave was visually strong and passed through the misty forest, hitting the cliffs on the other side of the highlands. But the moment the shock wave touched the cliff, it only collided slightly with the cliff, and then quickly dissipated.
However, the fog in the misty forest partially dissipated under the influence of the shock wave, revealing the appearance of the ground.
It turns out that Nina's purpose is this!
It dawned on Berg in an instant: it turned out that Nina's purpose in unleashing that shockwave was not to shake the cliffs on the other side of the highlands, but to reveal the terrain hidden by the misty forest! It's just that how did Nina do it so appropriately? You know, just enough to blow away the fog without damaging the surface of the shockwave, it requires extremely precise control.
Nina explained, "Although a mage can control the power and range of a spell, there is an upper and lower limit to this force and range. As far as I know, no mage has been able to control the impact intensity of the shockwave within such a small range. And the spell I just cast actually relied on the power of this magic weapon. I changed the structure of the staff to correct the strength and angle of the spell so that it could be released. ”
Layla showed a thoughtful expression, and then said, "If all of our mages are replaced with magic weapons like yours, will it also improve the accuracy and speed of the spell troops?" ”
"Theoretically, that's true. But in practice, it still depends on the actual situation. Nina put away her cane and explained in a serious way: "Although the magic weapon that I have improved can indeed improve the accuracy of the mage's spells. But the final combat power of the troops ultimately depends on the level of the mages themselves. As you can see, although the range of the shock wave just now has become larger, the corresponding intensity has also decreased a lot. Therefore, even if it is a modified magic weapon, it will not be able to enhance the actual strength of the spell. For example, no matter how much I improve my cane, I can't be An An's opponent. Because a powerful mage doesn't need to think about it at all to easily defeat his opponent. Moreover, my improvement also takes time and materials, and I can't do it overnight, so I can only make some simple improvements in a targeted manner. ”
