Chapter 194: A Blockbuster (3)
"Huh?" Hamfest didn't hold the dagger in the palm of his hand for long, and he felt the strangeness of Ryan's work, because the whole dagger had the same concentrating magic array, but there was no magic core that provided energy to this concentrating magic array, obviously the thing that Ryan stuffed into just now was not a magic core or something.
"So, Fabia, you didn't just put in the magic core?" Hamfest asked with a slight puzzle, "I can't feel the magic fluctuations on the dagger at all, it doesn't seem to be the same as ordinary magic weapons." β
"Yes, that's a spider's poison sac, I use a magic array to guide the venom in the poison sac on the blade of the dagger, so that when you cut the enemy's skin, the venom can penetrate into the enemy's body. β
"Isn't that a little ......," Hamfest's words stopped at this point, but since his conversation with Ryan was not deliberately suppressed, everyone present guessed what Hamfest meant by the words that he didn't say later, the young magician's craftsmanship was truly breathtaking, not to mention anything else, the process that seemed to be reworked in the back alone was enough to discourage ordinary magicians.
If the entire dagger is melted and remade, it is definitely a very simple thing, but Ryan only re-melted the part of the dagger handle while keeping the other parts of the dagger unchanged, and also forcibly attached a magic circle to the dagger with magic at the same time as smelting, you must know that the young magician himself who provides energy to the magic furnace during the entire smelting process, while paying a lot of mana, this magician can also use the heat energy of the magic furnace to melt a certain part of the dagger, and after completion, it still seems to be full of spare power, which is enough to show the strength of this magician's own mana and the subtle manipulation of magic power.
With this alone, this young mage is enough to rank among the ranks of mages, so everyone who found the mage insignia on Ryan's chest was only amazed at his youth, but there was not the slightest doubt about Ryan's strength. However, the final product only used a spider's poison sac, which is worthy of this dagger smelted by mixing pure gold and mythril, which is really a tyrannical thing.
Barbara, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand this the most, in her mind, her teacher Fabia was like a god-like existence, there was nothing he couldn't do, and now she saw that everyone was very disdainful of her teacher's works, so Barbara interjected a little unconvinced and said: "Isn't it just the poison sac of the human-faced spider queen? It's really not a big deal, but for a magic apprentice, I think it's still okay, right?"
Barbara's obviously justified words disappointed all the magicians present slightly, it was a pity that such an excellent magician and such good materials were only used by a magic apprentice in the end. If this young magister used a high-level magic core and carefully drew a magic circle, then this finished product would be enough to be worthy of a magister.
Just when everyone felt sorry. A magister who came back to his senses suddenly shouted loudly, "Human-faced Spider Queen, are you sure that is the poison sac taken from the Human-Faced Spider Queen?"
This voice suddenly stunned everyone present, and everyone remembered the creepy name that the young magic apprentice said just now, and they couldn't believe it for a while, after all, spiders like to live in groups by nature, and this kind of terrifying creature that has grown into a human face definitely exceeds decades of life, which is a terrible thing for spiders with an average life span of no more than 7 to 8 years, which often means that this human-faced spider queen with a long lifespan has far more strength than its peers, so even if this human-faced spider queen reaches the level of a level 7 magical beast, it is not surprising at allγ
"Isn't that weird?" Vivien knew that this was an opportunity to make a big splash about Cassano's reputation, so she smiled and talked to the magicians around her, "Isn't it just a bunch of spiders? Except for this human-faced spider queen who is a little more difficult to deal with, the other poisonous spiders are not very troublesome, and we Cassano only dispatched about 40 warriors." β
Vivien's words were evasive and rather deceptive, because the real way to defeat those spiders at that time was Lane's magic, and although Cassano's warriors also fought, they did little to no avail, and they didn't perform so well. It's just that the performance in the cursed swamp is not known to outsiders, and Vivien does not violate the facts by saying this, but the most critical part is omitted, and the 40 or so warriors have no combat effectiveness at all, but have become coolies cleaning up the battlefield.
However, when Vivien's flowers heard in the ears of others, they became a manifestation of the strong combat effectiveness of Cassano's army, although the individual strength was only level 5, but the poisonous spiders that like to live in groups were in a sense more terrifying than those level 6 creatures that existed alone, not to mention the spider queen who had grown into a human face outside? Cassano's army could reach such a strong level, and it seemed that the strength of the Fabia mage who could unify it was absolutely unfathomable.
Some people also guessed from Vivian's sentence "We Cassano" that the young magister should be the new Cassano overlord Fabia, and Androkos's approach was even simpler, he directly pulled Demos to his side and confirmed the news from Demos's mouth.
"So he's the magician who unified Cassano? β
"I didn't expect the elder to pull him over, and this time, the strength of our Imperial Capital Magic Guild is even more than that of Mochizuki City. β
"Hehe, I hope that at the next magic exchange conference, we can teach Mochizuki City a hard lesson. The last time Master Victor was reluctant to make a move, maybe it was because of his self-respecting identity. β
Listening to everyone's discussions, Lane's heart was empty, and he smiled and said to Hamfest: "My idea of this dagger is very simple, it is to make a weapon suitable for Barbara. Barbara's strength is still very weak, and I don't want her to rely too much on the power of this dagger in the future and delay the improvement of her own ability, so I ......"
Hamfest looked at the dagger in his hand and shook his head slightly, and said that he didn't want to rely too much on the power of this dagger? Any enemy who fought against Barbara, if he had a choice, would definitely not consider Barbara's hand-to-hand attack range, the Adamantite Dagger itself was extremely sharp, coupled with the terrible poison sac of the human-faced spider queen, even a holy priest would not dare to guarantee that he would have time to release the divine magic detoxification after being poisoned, let alone others?
Thinking of this, Hamfest had an extremely strange thought in his heart, this Ryan Magister should not plan to train his student Barbara to be a magical assassin, right? A killer with a small amount of magical ability but hiding in the shadows all day long is definitely a nightmare for any magician, because this kind of magic assassin himself is good at magic is more used to conceal the body and break the target's magic effect, unless a magician can give himself a variety of protective spells all year round, otherwise his fragile body will sooner or later become the target of some shadow wandering in the darkness.
In fact, Ryan didn't have this plan, because such assassins were trained almost to be sent to death, and he didn't plan to go to great lengths to train some dead soldiers, so it was better to do it himself. Ryan's main purpose for doing this is to warn those who have Barbara's mind in mind that Barbara has enough means to fight back, and for a magician who others dare not get close, Barbara can unscrupulously play the characteristics of a magician, which will help Barbara survive this period of lack of strength in the early stage.
"What about the magic array on the dagger?" Hamfest quickly put aside his thoughts, Ryan really had this thought, and he wouldn't expose it in public.
"I have adopted a new idea for this magic array, and this dagger is also my first work under this idea, and I hope it can achieve the purpose I expected. Ryan explained to Hamfest: "Most of the usual magic circles are concentrated magic arrays, they only continuously absorb energy from the embedded magic core, and then supply it to the user. The higher the level of the magic core inlaid in this way, the more powerful the final product will be. β
"That's right. Hamfest nodded and said, "But you don't have a magic core on it, do you want me to ......?"
"No, that's what I designed it that way. Ryan smiled at Hamfest, showing his white teeth: "Why do we have to use the magic core to provide energy? Doesn't our magicians contain a lot of mana? The magic core can provide for the Gathering Magic Array, and we can also provide it ourselves!"
"But doesn't that consume the magician's own mana? it's the exact opposite of the intent to use magical items!" said Hamfest.
"No, I don't think so. "Magic items should be a tool, they can only help the magician to use magic more conveniently, not replace the magician himself." In this line of thinking, this dagger actually becomes an existence similar to a magic wand, through which the magician releases spells, and under the effect of the magic array in the dagger, the magic power released in the end is the most increased, and of course it will consume more mana. β
"Is this equivalent to a small magic amplifier?" Hamfest keenly pointed out the point of Ryan's explanation, Ryan nodded solemnly, and added: "Since you don't have to worry too much about running out of mana, a more violent attack will naturally pose a greater threat to the enemy, and Barbara's own protection can rely on my retinue and the magic scroll I made for her." In this way, on the battlefield, mages can squander their mana to their heart's content. β
