Chapter 66: The Dangerous Forest (Part I)
Without Sareen, Rex's chances of escaping alone won't be reduced much, but without Rex, it's almost impossible for Rex to survive. Not to mention that Salin didn't have any way back to the Myers continent.
Now, even if Rex drove Salin away, Salin would follow with a dead face. He wants to protect Sika, and Rex wants Beamon and Hale to survive as long as possible.
Salin's new magic, the Wind Speed Technique of the Water System, allows him to travel at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour, and once he is proficient, he is basically not affected by the terrain. If Neris had been allowed to carry him on her back, the speed would have increased. But Shika can't, even if Saleen can give Shika the wind speed technique, Shika's ultimate speed can't be increased, let alone adapt to all terrain.
Sika is just a warrior and can't grasp the secrets of the wind.
After eating silently, Hall returned to the position of the sentry, using the alchemy telescope to monitor the movement of the forest, he guarded the alchemy crossbow, this alchemy crossbow will shorten its service life in a slightly humid environment, but now everyone lives is the first place, and the alchemy crossbow that should be put away and maintained can only be used as the most ordinary crossbow.
Bai Meng continued his work, skinning with a dagger. The skin of Warcraft needs to be refined with magic to be suitable for scroll materials. Any kind of magic paper does not hold magic as well as the magic beast skin, and more than two hundred skins can be used to make 300 high-grade blank scrolls.
Rex is a level 5 mage and can only make scrolls below level 4. If you barely make a level 5 scroll, the success rate will not be higher than 20%. Moreover, the consumption of mental power to make a fifth-level scroll is too great, and Rex can't afford it, and it is already the limit to be able to make one a day. Even for a fourth-level scroll, in such a dangerous environment, Rex could only make two or three in a day.
Even with enough materials, it's unrealistic to turn all of these monster skins into scrolls.
In Rex's room, Saleen is tanning the skins of magical beasts with magic potion powder, while Rex takes out various magical materials and intends to make a puppet.
There are many kinds of puppets, and the paper puppets made by walnuts are purely launched with his own strength, and are generally used for close-range spying intelligence and assassination. The puppet materials carried by Rex are used to make war golems.
The Qin Yin Empire has a large number of magicians, and these low-level magicians who can't fly can't be used to siege cities, and sieges rely on magic trebuchets. Whether it's a magic trebuchet or a stone cannon, they are huge. The role of the war golem is to propel these large weapons on the way, and they can also be used in battle.
War golems are at least 5 meters in size and require a large number of cores to drive. Such a size would not be able to advance in the forest, and Rex would need to redesign it to create a battle golem that would be close in size to a human. Battle golems are consumables, but they are a bit expensive, so no country has ever been willing to use them to replace the army.
In terms of combat effectiveness, a battle golem worth 500 gold may only have the strength of an intermediate swordsman. Moreover, this kind of puppet continues to consume magic cores, and the surname-to-price ratio is too low.
Rex doesn't care about this now, what she needs is cannon fodder, as long as she can replace the people around her to die, no matter how expensive it is, it's worth it.
On the table is a simple refining array, and Rex processes the skeleton of the monster to build the structure of the puppet. Combat golems don't release magic, but the internal operation is magical, so keep the metal structure to a minimum.
Saleen has no research on puppetry, which involves everything from the six elements, even low-level puppetry. However, he will use the Figaro magic formula, and when the bones of these magical beasts are refined, it will still be possible to help Rex build the internal structure of the battle puppet.
"Salin, through the forest, we are dead. "Rex's refining the Monster skeleton is a simple job, and it can also be distracted to chat with Salin.
"Even if it's safe to cross the forest, there may be even more terrible dangers. Salin replied nonchalantly as he infiltrated the beast's skin with a magic potion.
"You're not afraid?"
"Do things for you, what's so scary, you will protect everyone. Salin said bluntly.
"I see you have a puppet. ”
"It's a demon hunter. "Salin knows that there is no need to hide it, and it is helpful for everyone to understand each other's strengths. If Rex wanted this demon hunter, he wouldn't be stingy.
"You can control a few golems, I mean, without affecting your own spellcasting. ”
"Three, well, maybe control four. Salin gave a more conservative answer after a brief analysis.
"Okay, then I'll give you three battle puppets, you don't have to cherish them when you use them, as long as we can live, it's okay if they're all destroyed. ”
"It would be nice if you got to level six. Salin sighed. At level six, there is a water magic that can create a water golem composed of water elements for battle. This water puppet will have the same combat power as a sixth-level magician. It's a pity that Rex has been unable to level up for a long time, and at level five, she can only cast a level six magic. The water golem created is only equivalent to a level 5 magician.
In fact, what Salin thought in his heart was that it would be good if he reached the sixth level, and a lot of his water magic had mutated, and presumably the water puppet would be the same. And he learns Joey's elemental transformation to make the water golem more like a person, with magical abilities. The road to promotion is too far, and level 6 is still an unattainable stage for Salin.
"It would be nice if you were a fourth-level magician. Rex was also sighing, if Saleen became a great magician, there would be a lot of powerful attacks between the two of them, but Salen had just been promoted from two to three, and it was better to count on himself than to expect him to continue to advance.
The two of them smiled bitterly each other, even if they left the hell of divine punishment, everyone's words would not be good, the divine envoy was counterattacked by the Ring of the Divine Empire, nine out of nine were dead, the Holy See for thousands of years, no one at the level of the divine envoy was killed, and the war would break out in full swing, and the two people would still be small characters if they did not become magicians.
Communication between mages was the easiest, and Rex prepared enough materials to hand Saleen a drawing, and Saleen stopped tanning the beast's skins and began to help Rex build the structure of the battle golem.
Rex took out a large amount of magical armor and reinvented it. The upper body of the battle golem is humanoid, but the lower body is four-legged, and in order for the battle golem to wear armor, the human armor must be reinvented.
The bones of more than two hundred demonic beasts, after all of them were disassembled and refined, were only enough for the materials of a dozen battle puppets. After Salin finished building the structure of the battle puppet, he was already a little tired and his mental strength began to be insufficient. He thought for a moment and said to Rex, "I need to meditate for a while." ”
Rex nodded, and Saleen got into bed, sat down, held the family crest in his hand, and cast a level 0 magic. Salin now has several times more magic strings than when he was at level 2, but he was still drawn by the badge in less than a second.
All kinds of negative states act directly on the depths of the soul and cannot be avoided. Accustomed to patience, Saleen kept his eyes open and watched Rex's movements.
Rex was carefully observing the thirteen battle golem structures that Saleen had built, and she found that Saleen had made minor adjustments to the drawings during the construction process to make the golem's structure more reasonable. Hundreds of Warcraft bones are combined, and they have not yet been fused with magic, and there is already a living feeling.
It seems that Salin has a deep grasp of Figaro's magic formula, otherwise he would not have exhausted his mental power so quickly.
Rex has a lot of materials with him, but he doesn't have a suitable magic laboratory, so he can only make such low-level golems. She originally felt that it was a waste of materials, but seeing Sarlin's adjustments to the puppet structure, Rex thought about it seriously and reformulated the refining magic array.
Saleen watched quietly as Rex drew a magic circle on the puppet structure, and Rex looked focused, as if Saleen didn't exist. From the side, her eyelashes are long, and her nose is straight and delicate.
Under the light of the magic lamp on the top of the barracks, Rex's skin was glowing and exuding a faint fragrance.
Saleen suddenly became a little distracted, if there was no strife, no danger, just live like this, concentrate on the study of magic, how good it would be. It's a pity that even a magician can't really control his own fate.
I can't back down at all, I'm afraid that the name Salen has been on the black list of the Holy See, and he is the one who must be killed. If he had always been a first-level magician, maybe the Holy See wouldn't care about his life or death, but once he became a great magician, the Holy See would regard him as a threat.
What happened in the swamp of chaos could not be concealed forever, and Picasso knew sooner or later that his men had killed themselves.
Salin did not regret what he had done, and if he had not resisted, would the people of the Holy See have treated him kindly? In the western part of the Tangulas Empire, there is a small island, and that small island is said to be a heretic captured by the Holy See.
The Inquisition doesn't have to kill heretics, and you can choose to repent on the island until you receive the Lord of Light's forgiveness.
Repentance? Forgiveness?
These are the two words that every magician will sneer at when they hear it.
Not a single sound could be heard in the entire camp, and Hale stood beside the bracket of the alchemical crossbow like a sculpture. Bai Meng had already disposed of all the skins and bones of the monster, and he was sleeping in the barracks. Intermediate swordsmen don't make a sound when they sleep, and their breathing is so low that they can't hear it at all.
Sika hugged her stick and sat in the doorway in a daze. She couldn't help with magic matters, and there were Bai Meng and Hall on the sentry, and now she was full of energy, but there was no place to vent.
Nellis lay on the roof of the barracks, her eyes squinting and her nostrils twitching, searching for the dangerous breath in the air. She likes this half-plane, this half-plane has the breath of the demon plane, and the demon core and blood of the demonic beast are also very close to the demon plane. And there was no archdemon she feared the most, and there was no nasty weather on the demon plane.
