Chapter 988: Ritual Defense
Seeing that many spellcasters are starting to act.
Ronald, who had just agreed to the Great Witch's request, naturally took a step back and began to watch the actions of these spellcasters in response to the sea beast's attack.
It didn't take long for him to discover something interesting.
Although the spellcasters in Capone City are led by the two forces of the [Twelve Witches] and the [Dawn Spell Society], the defense system they build is a complete individual.
And in the whole defense.
It was the [Dawn Spell Society] again, who took on the challenge of standing at the forefront, the first to face the enemy. At the same time, the preparation of the entire defensive circle seems to have been built with them as the keynote.
– It's something to think about.
It's like the big witch just now begging Ronald not to make a move at the first moment.
In fact, the specific defense details and measures of the arrangement also contain many aspects.
Obviously, the forces of the [Twelve Witches Society] and the [Dawn Spell Society] are not much different, but at this moment, it is the [Dawn Spell Society] that occupies the main position of defense, and it is facing so many threats......
There must be something hidden in it, which led to everything happening!
“……”
"Sir, I don't quite understand."
Just as Ronald was observing the defense and began to think about the problem, Kostadt, who was next to him, suddenly asked:
"The city is clearly in danger, and their garrison is clearly not foolproof. In this case, why should you shirk such a powerful help? ”
— Kostadt wondering the logic of human behavior.
"Kostadt ......" Hearing this, Ronald immediately realized the maid's thoughts. So he carefully organized the language, and then continued to explain, "If it was an ordinary spellcaster, he would have already chosen to flee for his life at this time. After all, fighting against such a sudden monster, normal people can't even guarantee their safety. ”
At this time, Ronald stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the distance.
At the location where Il helped evacuate the residents, there were actually quite a few spellcasters and crowds retreating together. With Costadt's level of sensitivity to mana fluctuations, it's not hard to spot this.
"These people make choices that people would normally do. On the other hand, [Twelve Witches] or [Dawn Spell Society] -
When an organization dominates a region and seeks benefits for a long time, it also bears a lot of responsibility. As it is now, when a crisis comes, they must rise to the occasion and fight it. ”
“……”
"But this doesn't contradict accepting help?"
After thinking about Ronald's words seriously, there were doubts in Kostadt's expression:
"Accepting help from others in the face of danger actually helps to preserve more strength. If you want to ensure your own benefits in the long term and effectively, then ensuring that your own strength is as strong as possible is the first priority. ”
"But from the analysis of strength, it is true." Ronald first affirmed Kostadt's idea before continuing, "But the actual human society is not entirely based on the rules of operation based on strength. ”
"That's ...... It's complicated to talk about, haven't you checked my memory? In fact, there is a description of this in "The Social Contract", you can take a good look at it. - In short, doing what is necessary at the necessary time is also a necessary part of maintaining one's position. ”
“……”
Hearing Ronald say this, Costadt immediately lowered his head and pondered.
The maid thought back to what she had searched for in Ronald's memory, and immediately immersed herself in absorbing and learning knowledge.
The other side.
After giving Costadt a direction to think about, Ronald turned his gaze back to the front.
At this time, standing at the forefront, the Dawn Spell Practitioner was chanting aloud his incantation to mobilize the magic provided by the crowd:
"The magical traditions of the world encompass different methods, practices, and procedures. At first glance, they don't resemble the drumming and bright colors of Haitian voodoo, or the perfect meditation of monks in Japanese temples......"
“……”
Ronald wasn't quite sure where the spell he was chanting came from.
But one thing is for sure, this isn't a science book, it's a thing that's all about magic.
Under the leadership of this spellcaster.
A ritual power used to strengthen ministerers began to descend on the entire dock.
Ronald as an observer at great distance.
I can even feel in detail that during this ritual, all friendly spellcasters' ability to manipulate spells has suddenly improved a lot, and their mental state has also been strengthened a little.
This is a fairly rare spell.
According to the knowledge that Ronald once acquired in Springs, there are only a few large schools in the world today that have this special ritual enhancement ability, but I didn't expect the [Dawn Spell Society] to have such hole cards.
And after completing this range greatly strengthens the ritual.
The circle that was truly used to protect the entire harbor continued to unfold under the leadership of this spellcaster:
"O untouchable secret of God, Lady of Silence and Shadow, thou art dwelling in darkness above the surface of the abyss......"
Crash!
Just as the mantra was being recited.
The speed of the sea in front of Capone Harbour is also becoming more alarming.
In addition to the swirling oceans, which are still brewing and becoming more and more severe, the waves that are already several meters high have been uncontrollably crashing towards the surroundings due to the interference of the main currents.
Faced with the aftermath of the threat, Capone's port bears the brunt!
Brush –
At this time, the defensive spell led by the [Dawn Spell Society] was also completed.
It's a pretty magical spell.
Ronald clearly saw the waves coming to shore, then hitting the ground and retreating into the water.
But in the whole process, the seawater, which was supposed to be able to destroy the building and knock down the crowd, did not affect anyone or anything in the slightest.
Under the protection of this spell, everything inside it seems to have hidden form. Even if the attack of the sea came to people, it was only smashed in an illusory shadow, and it did not affect any actual changes.
Plop –
At this moment, a man dressed in a colloidal coat jumped out of the water as the waves receded.
"Wow-"
The man quickly fell to the ground weakly.
Although the time was dark, Ronald had excellent eyesight.
He could see that it was a young man, his face was rather pale, and it was clear that he had suffered a very serious blow and was in extremely poor health.
But even so.
Without waiting for someone next to him to help him up.
And the man who jumped from the sea to the shore tried to support his body, and shouted directly without immediately falling:
"The number of sea monsters down there... It's too much to count! We were attacked in the middle of our investigation. ”
"I ...... I'm the only one who escaped! ”
