Chapter 43: The Bitter Water Army (I)

[Well, today is also a festival, happy everyone]

Salin didn't take the words of Lord Rex to heart, Qin Yin Empire has a strict hierarchy, but it is originally generous to magicians, and in Yanjing, it is difficult for magicians to encounter any danger.

Moreover, Kushui County is not close to the border, even if there are bandits on the way to Yanjing, it is only on a small scale, and when they see the army of the county lord, they have long fled in despair, and it is not the turn of the mage to make a move.

However, Lord Rex seemed to be very serious, and sent someone to help Salin and Sika and others measure their bodies, and carefully inquired about the needs of Schika and Neris. Salinso's surname is not welcome, anyway, if there is a fight, it is to protect himself, and he will not be able to stay out of it. Since Kushui County has money, it is not spent in vain.

Saleen was given a new set of magic robes, the white ones were patterned with cyan magic threads, and the same built-in belt was suitable for combat. There was no sign of cutting in the entire magic robe, and Salin knew that this magic robe was made of alchemy at all, maybe not advanced enough, but it was extremely time-consuming.

It's not without benefit to waste like this, the function of the magic robe is to stabilize the elements in the space around the magician, and wearing this kind of robe, even the magic wand is saved.

The belt polished with the horns of the monster carved out the space inlaid with the magic core, forming six beautiful patterns.

In addition to the robes, a pair of boots is also an alchemy product, and the soles of the boots are simply added with a layer of demonic beast scale armor, and the clothes inside are also fine cotton, which is repeatedly mixed with magic powder.

This magic robe is extremely practical, and Salin received the magic robe given to him by his teacher in the Gift Ring, and he was reluctant to wear it again, so he changed into this brand new robe.

In addition to the magic robes, Lord Rex also sent a list to each of them to buy some scrolls. These scrolls are not given for free, but the price is also very cheap. Level 3 magic scrolls only sell for 50 gold coins, and it is estimated that they cost about 200 gold coins on the market.

Even if you don't use it, it's a lot of money to sell it. However, Salin estimates that no one is willing to sell. Salin pondered for a while, and spent 1,000 gold coins to buy 20 third-level magic scrolls.

He is a second-level magician, and the use of scrolls can only span one level, and he cannot use scrolls above level three. Because he had a preliminary understanding of the Figaro magic formula, Salin chose all water-based magic scrolls, and several of them he was learning.

Generally speaking, learning magic across levels does not outweigh the benefits. Because of the magic cast across levels, the magic strings will be consumed in one go. Salin's magic strings are twice as many as those of mages of the same level, and his mental power is too much exceeded, and the time consumed to learn third-level magic is less than half.

Before coming to the county lord's mansion, Saleen experienced several tests of life and death, and knew that although magic is not only used for fighting, magicians who can't fight will die too early. So he studied harder, and whenever he had the opportunity, he used the badge to improve his mental power. Now with Neris to share his pain, it only takes half an hour for Saleen to return to his normal state after using the badge.

Now Salin has preliminarily mastered three third-level magics, Ice Blade Technique, Illusory Swamp, and Acid Rain.

One of these three spells is a powerful attack, one is a control class, and one is a continuous attack class.

The single attack of the Ice Blade is very strong, and the Wizard has already shown it, and this third-level magic is still a pure single attack, much sharper than the Wind Blade. The Unreal Swamp is a strange control magic, which will form a three-dimensional space, and the target will be controlled within this space, and the target will be as if it is deep in the water element, which is a bit of a high-level magic.

In addition to the relatively short control time, this magic is still a powerful low-level magic.

The acid rain technique is not unusual, but this magic is mostly used on the battlefield to destroy the enemy's armor on a large scale. Saleen chose this magic because it couldn't hurt himself and there was no possibility of backlash. Moreover, if you fight in a narrow space, the acid rain technique will not disappear because you stop the control of mental power, and it lasts for a very long time, almost an hour.

If it is a fully enclosed space, the acid rain technique will be used, and the acid will gather together, and with the illusory swamp, it will be a hundred times more powerful than the swamp technique of the earth system.

Salin didn't care about the limitations of magic, he didn't have many options, and before he became a great magician, he could learn no more than a hundred water magic. And there are only more than 20 of them that really have a wide range of applications.

The 20 scrolls that Saleen chose were all of these three kinds of magic. Through the Figaro magic formula, Saleen vaguely knew that even the magic released by the scroll could be tracked and controlled. Moreover, using a scroll to release magic can allow the caster to understand the principle of this magic in more detail, and can master this magic faster.

In other words, if a person has enough money, buys a large number of scrolls, and constantly releases and experiences, he will soon be able to learn this magic to the extreme.

So Salin didn't choose another magic scroll, even though it would allow him to try to unleash magic outside of the water system. Twenty scrolls did little for him to learn these three magics, but Saline believed that the mastery of any skill was built up over time, and even if there was a one-ten-thousandth benefit, he would not let it go.

To Sarin's relief, all of Sika's equipment had been changed.

Her primary weapon has been modified by Faeron, needless to say, the secondary weapon is a boomerang, a short weapon common to Caucasians, which can not only be thrown to hurt people, but also used as a melee weapon.

In fact, the tail-shaped boomerang is even more eerie than the Assassin's dagger, and can be controlled at short distances in close combat. The texture of Shika's boomerang is also a monster bone, but it is much worse than her club.

The Lord of Rex simply built a new boomerang for her according to Shika's request, the materials produced by Salen, and the labor produced by the Lord of Rex. The boomerang was the exact size and weight of what Sika was used to, but it was made from seven rare metal alloys.

Sika retrieved his new weapon and loved it, and nearly tore down a wall in his first experiment. I also showed a few mages who lived in the courtyard to beat the drum in my heart, the weapon of this Caucasian female warrior is obviously magic equipment, but it does not have any caste, but it is extremely sharp, and it is difficult to block low-level magic shields.

The most expensive thing is Sika's armor, her leather armor is of excellent texture, but there is no real demonization, and it is difficult to resist when encountering heavy weapons. Lord Rex simply processed this set of leather armor into pure magic armor, which can not only defend against magical attacks, but also have physical resistance.

Salin saw the giant force technique solidified on the armor, and directly threw the deposit ticket of 10,000 gold coins to the Lord of Rex.

The damage of solidified magic to mages is not small, and the loss of magic strings cannot be recouped for a year or two. Lord Rex did not refuse Salin's gold coins, and the more Salin cleared her out, the happier she became.

People who can't be bought with money will either be enemies or become your friends. As the lord of the Empire, there are too many people who are willing to pledge allegiance to her, but she prefers her own group of mages. These mages have pure hearts, at least they haven't been polluted by this world.

Nylise reluctantly changed into her clothes and shoes, no longer exposing her skin. The outfit was worth a lot of money, but Saleen didn't pay for it. Neris is her own contract creature, and it's none of her business how much she collects.

This outfit was a long fur, and the snow-white soft hair circled around Neris's neck, which made her face delicate and a little less wild. A pair of small boots, however, were made to the standards of Assassin equipment, and walked lightly and silently on the ground.

Neris changed into luxurious clothes, still unrestrained, and sat on the steps, watching the snow.

In Faeron's absence, Saleen was in no mood to do anything else, diligently learning and becoming proficient in new magic every day. Level 3 magic is powerful, but for him, the most useful is level 2 magic.

Because Salin has been running on the road since the upgrade, he is still not skilled enough in second-level magic. Seeing the performance of the eighth-level magician, Salin knew that these low-level magics would be of great use even in the future.

An Eighth-level Wizard can cast 12 Eighth-level magic, and after using it, his combat power is no different from that of a magic apprentice. Therefore, even high-level mages may not always fight with high-level magic. Mastering every magic is the way to survive.

For example, that time Salin met two headless horsemen, a total of eight people to help him, and after the battle, he still ran out of magic strings. If the Headless Horsemann had one more, the consequences would be terrible. At that time, except for Neris, all five mercenaries died, and neither Shika nor Aini could fight.

In Faerun's absence, the mages in the courtyard met more often, and in addition to practicing, they also had to discuss their experience of magic with each other. Salin's foundation is deeper than that of these mages, but his actual experience is much worse. After talking, he realized that he had underestimated these mages.

The nine of them often had a lively discussion in Faeron's laboratory, and there was no solemnity at all, let alone solemnity. Studying magic requires not only the mouth, but also the hands. There are laboratory equipment, but you don't need to fight, you just need to use magic to show and analyze with magic props.

What Salin paid the most attention to was a male mage named Juan, who was probably in his 20s, the eldest of them, and was already a third-level mage. Juan's strength is obviously higher than Nania's, and I'm afraid it won't take two or three years for him to advance and become a great magician.

Of course, this must be a precondition that Juan can always be guided by Feron.

Saleen paid attention to Juan because Juan had leadership skills. In Faeron's absence, the small group was vaguely centered around him, doing all kinds of magical experiments and exercises. Salin had read a lot of magical notes, and a lot of them were devoted to the fighting techniques of the magicians who worked with each other. Juan was clearly very skilled at this, and the nine of them were divided into three groups, and under his guidance, they did all kinds of amazing coordination training.

"Salin, your ice arrow was released too early, Nania is only a second-level mage, and controlling the Firebird technique will be slow, you have to use the impact of the ice arrow to create more time for her to prepare. Juan unceremoniously pointed out Saleen's mistake, and Salin smiled and did not refute it.

Nine people form a circle, and nine dolls are placed in the middle, taking the place of each person's identity. If the puppet is destroyed, it is a tactical failure and out. Saleen was in a group with two female mages, and Nania's puppet was burned to powder without blocking the enemy's fireballs.
