Chapter 121: The Imperial Dilemma
At this moment, Teacher Zhao Xi had finished talking about the content of the Magic Array course, and there was still some time before the end of the class, so Teacher Zhao Xi asked the students: "Do you have any questions about the content of this chapter of the Magic Array?"
The classroom was quiet for a while, and seeing that the students had no questions to ask, I immediately straightened up in my seat and asked, "Teacher Zhao, I heard that your fighting spirit is the fighting energy of the earth attribute, does it mean that what you sensed in magic should also be the magic element of the earth type, right?"
"Yes, ordinary people are like this, what kind of attribute of Dou Qi is cultivated in our body, we are usually more sensitive to what kind of magic element. ”
Teacher Zhao replied, in fact, in the Shenghua Empire, the proportion of people with soil attributes and temperament is still quite large, this Teacher Zhao is one of them, after answering my words, Teacher Zhao asked again: "Classmate Ling Feng, why are you asking this question?"
Smiling embarrassedly, I wiped the tip of my nose and said, "Mr. Zhao, since you know the magic of the earth system, you said a magic spell of 'earth arrow' the day before yesterday, can you show us it, let us see the real earth arrow magic." ”
Yes, I can't chant a decent earth arrow magic myself, so of course I want Mr. Zhao to do that magic directly on the spot, through Mr. Zhao's on-site work, I will naturally find out where my problem is, this way is the most direct and trouble-free way.
"That's right, Mr. Zhao will show us the magic!"
"Yes, the teacher only taught us spells, but didn't show us the magic of earth arrows. ”
"Teacher, come one!"
"Teacher, come one!"
......
With me like this, many students were of course interested, and those who wanted to watch the magic show even excitedly shouted slogans together, hoping that Mr. Zhao would have a live version of earth arrow magic, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
"No, no! this magic is not suitable for demonstration in schools!"
Teacher Zhao hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and his expression was very nervous and cramped at the moment.
"Teacher, come one!"
"Teacher, come one!"
How could the students let go of Teacher Zhao so easily, and everyone laughed loudly and shouted loudly, asking the teacher to demonstrate, although this is a big provincial capital, but there are still a few people who can see the live performance of magic, I believe that many people have not seen such a powerful magic as earth arrows.
"No! ”
Teacher Zhao's expression was even more embarrassed at the moment, although he saw the enthusiasm of his classmates, he still insisted on not being able to perform this magic.
Seeing the teacher's refusal like this, many students were already a little lost and even more puzzled, feeling that this Teacher Zhao was too faceless, just an earth arrow magic, and there would be no danger, why did Teacher Zhao insist on not performing for everyone? Is it a show, or is it something else?
"Isn't this Teacher Zhao unable to do magic?"
Suddenly, several female classmates had already raised dissatisfied questions on the sidelines.
Hearing someone guessing that Teacher Zhao couldn't do magic, the whole classroom immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Teacher Zhao with a puzzled expression. It's a bit funny, isn't it? A magic teacher who has been teaching magic for so long and doesn't know how to do magic is not a big joke, what's the difference between that and a lie?
Although the students were not talking or coaxing at the moment, everyone was silently watching Teacher Zhao with their eyes, which obviously embarrassed Teacher Zhao more than everyone questioned.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Mr. Zhao was very entangled, but he must not show that magic here, there are still many female classmates in this classroom, but he also knows that if he doesn't explain the reason at this moment, he may not be able to take his classes again in the future, thinking about it again and again, he finally shook his head, and then said to the university with a very solemn expression: "Students, I have to tell you a cruel truth." ”
Quietly, the students were waiting for Mr. Zhao's explanation, and they didn't know what the teacher meant by this.
"What did other empires rely on to defeat us and bully our Shenghua Empire? Of course, they relied on magic! If they taught us all their magic skills, how could they defeat us again? How could they bully us again? Therefore, when we go to study abroad, the magic we learn is the most basic magic, and those top-level magic they naturally have to keep it secret from us, and they will not teach us easily, especially weapon magic and offensive magic, they will not teach us, their weapon magic skills are strictly confidential, and in order to humiliate the people of our Shenghua Empire, they also turned some of their weapon magic into strange shapes, these magic can't be shown to you. ”
Hearing this, I was silent, but I already understood, it turned out that it wasn't my magic* that was wrong, it was because my magic spell itself had been tampered with, damn, those guys are really not things, it's not good to turn magic into something, but they turned magic arrows into the shape of that thing.
Hearing what Teacher Zhao said, the students probably guessed the reason, and they were no longer embarrassed by Teacher Zhao, but the students were obviously indignant when they knew such a thing, and many people were angry and talked about it below.
"It turns out that the empires are joining forces to bully us. ”
"Hey, who's going to keep the magic technology in the hands of someone else?"
"In this case, when will our Shenghua Empire not be bullied by others?"
"I don't believe we can't do magic on our own!"
"How can it be so easy to learn magic?"
......
Anxious in his heart, his classmates were even more indignant, and in the midst of the discussion, suddenly a classmate asked loudly: "Teacher Zhao, isn't there anyone in our Shenghua Empire who knows this earth arrow magic now?"
"As far as I know, no one in our Changsheng Sand City can use a standard magic earth arrow, and their magic condensation is all strange shapes. Teacher Zhao shook his head and sighed.
"Oh, no!"
At this time, a classmate whispered below: "I heard that we have a new army in Changshengsha City, known as the magic new army, and I heard that they all know how to use weapons such as magic arrows!"
Shaking his head solemnly, Teacher Zhao was still frowning, and explained helplessly: "You don't know, we have a population of hundreds of thousands in Changshengsha, and the hundreds of magic recruits selected are just decorations, and although they claim to use some magic, the magic arrows they read out, that ...... Hey, that's what you need to hat for the magic arrow to show to others. ”
"What do you mean by wearing a hat?" the students were even more puzzled when they heard this.
Only I can probably guess some of the reasons, the so-called earth arrow I conjured with that magic spell is not enough to hurt people at all, but the flight speed is okay, that is, the power of the magic is okay, if you put an iron cap like an arrow on this earth arrow, you can hurt people.
Sure enough, Teacher Zhao then said in amazement: "The origin of this hat magic arrow is a long story, in the past, in other empires, there were some magic apprentices who couldn't complete it on their own." When the arrows were magical, some students wanted to go to the battlefield, so they took down the pointed top cover of the chimney, and then used their magic power to push this top cover to hit the enemy, and then this method was spread, and many magic apprentice-level people followed suit, and then, many countries expanded their armies for the needs of war, recruited a large number of magic apprentices to join the army, and found a blacksmith to create a large hollow arrow for these people, in this way to form an army, due to the large number of magic apprentices, so the combat effectiveness of the army composed of magic apprentices is also terrible, and the result is that this way has been spread and spread, so now other empires will also use this method to recruit magic apprentices to form an army when they are short of troops, but our Shenghua Empire, the so-called magic new army formed now, is all such an army, and the iron arrows they use can not only increase the damage, but also cover up the shame. ”
The cruel fact made the students silent for a while, and everyone didn't expect that the magic we are learning now is actually the magic that needs to cover shame.
Anger and resentment twitched in the hearts of the students, and after a long while, some of the students said angrily and frustratedly: "I see, I saw those magic recruits in our city holding those big arrowheads, looking very powerful, it turns out that there is no way to use that thing." ”
Yes, the normal speed of a magician reciting magic is relatively slow compared to the fighter's moves, and those magic recruits who use big arrows have to put a hat on the arrow after reciting the magic, which shows that the attack efficiency will inevitably be lower, and at the same time, the power of using magic to drive a heavy arrow will also be reduced a lot, so how can the combat effectiveness of the army be against the regular magic army.
It seems that the Shenghua Empire still has a long way to go if it wants to regain its confidence with magic weapons.
Magic technology is controlled by others, which makes the Shenghua Empire still in a backward and beaten predicament.
"But, how did the Dalang Empire learn those magics? They were almost as backward as us in terms of magic before, and they also learned magic from other empires later, and now their magic army is very strong, and their country's army can't also use magic with hats!"
Brother Rundong suddenly asked loudly, obviously he was also anxious about the situation encountered by the Shenghua Empire.
Yes, the previous combat method of the army of the Dalang Empire was mainly based on fighting with fighting spirit, but now the magic combat power of their army is not weak, and many students also have such doubts, so everyone looked at the teacher again.
"Now the army of the Dalang Empire no longer uses the magic of wearing hats, and before, the Dalang Empire also used such a magic army with hats, but their country opened earlier than our country, as early as more than thirty years ago, they had sent people to other empires to start learning advanced magic technology, with the continuous sending of people to study, it took so long to learn, that is, in the past few years, their army finally stopped using the magic army with hats, and now the magic strength of their army is indeed very strong, and it can compete with those old magic empires. ”
Teacher Zhao shook his head and said helplessly
