Chapter 83: Pompeii (I)
Salin became interested in this ship, he was born by the sea, he knew some knowledge of boats, the structure of this ship was not suitable for fast travel, and the layout of the sails was even worse, without the magic array to drive the oars, it is estimated that the ship would not be able to run twenty miles per hour.
However, this boat has an advantage, that is, it is stable, and ordinary people will not feel the violent shaking on this boat. This kind of environment is also conducive to the casting of spells by magicians. Generally speaking, when a mage casts familiar magic, he is not very demanding on the environment, as long as the elements in the surrounding space are stable.
Sometimes, however, some spells that take more than 12 hours to prepare require a relatively stable casting environment. Horseback, boat, or flight will cause cast errors.
Many spells take more than 60 hours to prepare, and in a second, a violent jolt in the hull of the ship can cause a magic miss.
Salin's perception reached out to the bilge, skimming the cabin where the sailor worked, and in the middle of the hull, he found an alchemical machine almost as wide as the hull. The alchemy machine is more than five meters wide and about two meters high, and there are twelve sailors in the front and rear, shaking the rocker attached to the alchemy machine.
In addition to the six magic arrays in the alchemy machine, there are also a large number of warp and weft gears and metal shafts. Under the effect of the magic array, the sailors only need to use very little force to turn the four oars on both sides of the hull.
Unfortunately, this alchemical machine is huge, otherwise it could have been used to make chariots. Salin's perception can't see through everything like his eyes, but the device on the ship is already perfect, if it can be reduced and used on the chariot, the Qin Yin Empire has already used it. Salin dismissed the thought, and looked up to see Rex standing in front of the porthole looking out into the distance.
"Rex, are there a lot of ships like this in Qin Yin?" Salin felt that the magic array on the ship was extremely refined, and it only needed one magic apprentice to activate, and dozens of lowest-level magic cores were used as power, increasing the manpower by dozens of times. Aside from its bulky size, this set of alchemy machinery has few drawbacks.
"Sit down. Rex turned around and went to her own cabin with Saleen, and the two of them sat down on the floor facing each other.
"What? are you interested in alchemy machinery?" Rex pulled out a piece of parchment and laid it on the floor, on which was a complex magic formula, and she calculated it while chatting with Salin. In God's punishment of hell, two people often do so. In addition to practicing magic, we can talk about topics other than magic.
"I think this alchemy machine is very useful and can be used on the battlefield. ”
"Hehe, do you know how much this set of machinery costs? at least more than 20,000 gold coins, it only takes a first-level mage to paralyze this set of machinery. ”
"What's going on with the Yunliu Invincible Armada?" Salin was a little curious, since the magic-powered device had such a big weakness, why did the Yunliu Empire have a sea fleet that even magicians could not destroy.
"The smallest ironclad ship also costs tens of millions of gold coins, and the volume is huge, so it can naturally install more advanced alchemy machinery. This thing is essentially the same as a puppet, and in addition to the lack of blueprints, Qin Yin is unable to provide a large number of magic cores that the fleet needs. The real magic drive device itself is a huge protective magic array, have you ever seen a puppet directly destroy the core?"
"Lack of magic core?" Salin didn't understand even more, Qin Yin was known as the magic empire, could it be poorer than the Yunliu Empire, and he couldn't even afford the magic core.
Rex laughed and said to Salin: "You and I are not short of magic cores, but Qin Yin has a huge number of mages, and many mages have been cultivating for more than ten years, except when they are fighting, they are not willing to use magic cores to restore the magic strings." The more mages, the more expensive the cores. Also, the Yunliu Empire must have the technology to breed demonic beasts, and every year Qin Yin has to buy a large number of low-level demonic cores from Yunliu. If it weren't for the technology to breed monsters, their ships would be nothing more than scrap metal. ”
The technology of cultivating demonic beasts?Salin remembered that the space of the Divine Punishment Hell, the world inside the metal pillar, seemed to be a good place to breed. It's just that there are already ready-made Warcraft in there, and the level is quite high, chasing himself and Rex all the way, and now I think about it, I'm still a little scared.
The sailors were busy until the afternoon, when they were able to replenish the ship's necessities. Although he was not a sea ship, Saleen's request was to travel day and night, as quickly as possible. The ship was offshore, and suddenly it was raining again.
Rex leaned against the edge of the bed, looking at the magic formula on the parchment paper a little distracted, the moisture wafted in through the window, cool, but very refreshing, not slippery. Her hands were on her cheeks, and her sleeves naturally faded to reveal the emerald bracelet on her snow-white wrist.
Salin looked at Rex, also a little distracted. He felt his heart suddenly relaxed, and at this moment, he didn't want to do anything, he just hoped that the rain would never stop, and the boat would never dock.
Neris and Sika were next door, Sika was kneeling on the floor with a bone necklace in her hand and her eyes closed, while Neris was lying on the bed, looking like she was napping, but her ears were always stunned, listening to the movement next door. There has been no sound next door for a few hours, what is the owner doing?
The rain was drizzling, there was a fluttering sound outside the window, and a dark red bird landed at the window, and it looked at the two people in the room with green eyes, looking curious. Salin and Rex looked up at the same time, looking out the window. The calm atmosphere was suddenly disrupted, and under the watchful eyes of the two great magicians, the frightened birds, flapped their wings, and flew towards the woods on the east side of the riverbank.
"Just ......," Rex glanced at Saleen.
Saleen continued, "That bird is not afraid of us!"
"That's a blue-eyed fire crow, it's a first-class magical beast. Strange, this little thing is very sensitive to elemental fluctuations, what are you doing?" Rex couldn't help but ask Salin. Warcraft have a natural instinct, except for Warcraft that are raised by humans, wild Warcraft do not dare to approach human mages at all.
Salin and she are both great magicians, and the monsters below level 4 will hide far away when they find them.
"I'm thinking, if there is no Holy See, it would be good to continue cultivating in such an environment. ”
"Without the Holy See, why would we be in this boat. ”
Seeing that Rex's smile was a little strange, Salin's face was as usual, and he asked, "Then what are you doing just now, I am in the rain, I can hide my aura very well, you are a sixth-level mage, you can't hide it, right?" unless you have been promoted to a magician." ”
"It's not that easy, even if there are no twists and turns, it will take me ten or eight years. Just now...... I'm thinking about something about my childhood. ”
"Oh. Saleen didn't ask, when Rex was young, she was surrounded by her teacher and Pheron. Faeron is dead, and the memories may not be pleasant.
The two men fell silent again, and this time, both Saleen and Rex were trying to figure out how it felt. The two of them inadvertently enter a realm that blends in with their surroundings, and even the blue-eyed fire raven, who is known for their sensitivity, does not realize that they are dangerous archmages.
"Hey......"
Rex and Salin sighed at the same time, they couldn't catch that kind of realm again. If that realm can be stabilized, it will also have a lot of benefits for the magic cultivation of two people.
As the night wore on, a magic lamp lit up the bow of the ship, illuminating the waters ahead. A drizzle of rain passes through the lights and falls on the surface of the river, creating ripples like fine scales. The cabin became very dark, and neither Rex nor Saleen used magic lighting, and the two of them sat opposite each other in the dark, relaxing, practicing the magic they were not familiar with over and over again.
The six elements fluctuated strongly in the cabin, and suddenly calmed down, and with each magic released, the two of them dispersed it in the shortest possible time.
No magician's mental power is the same, it is easy to dispel one's own magic, but it is difficult to dispel the magic of others. In the darkness, Salin said suddenly, "Rex, let's try to disperse each other's magic, what do you say?"
Magic dispel is not a spell, but a skill. If you want to use this skill on others, it is more difficult than a magician using magic to destroy the sword qi.
The principle of sword qi is roughly the same, and the principle of magic formation is strange. For example, the shield of water ripples, released by Saleen is the defensive effect of level 4 magic. No matter how good the other magician is, he can't find a way to dispel Sarin's magic.
The way Salin induces the magic strings through spells has been completely changed, and this mutated magic is difficult for anyone other than himself to learn it to dispel the shield of water ripples released by Sarin.
"Dangerous, isn't it?" replied Rex, hesitantly.
"We can unleash the magic at the slowest speed possible, starting from level 1. "Salin is eager to try, this kind of exercise is indeed dangerous, if one of the two magicians has bad intentions, it can easily cause tragedy. Even if two people don't have the intention of harming anyone, magic is also an emotionless skill, and the wrong hand will hurt someone.
The slowest release speed of magic varies, and the most outrageous is a terrestrial magic, which takes more than an hour to prepare. The fastest is low-level magic, even if it's an ice pick, beginners can prepare for three seconds to complete.
Within a period of 2 to 180 years, the magician can prepare the spell by completing the spell or activating the magic string with mental power. After 180 zhen, the elements will directly escape and forcibly gather, and the result is roughly that the elements in the magician's body are completely disordered, and the magic strings will be abolished if they don't die.
Magicians are figuring out how to make a spell instantaneous, and no one has yet figured out how to delay the preparation of magic. Because in battle, there are skills that specifically delay the release time of mana, and there is no point in extending the preparation time.
"Seems to be a bit difficult!" Rex became interested in Saleen's proposal, as she hadn't tried to delay the preparation time, and since the first day of learning magic, she had been pursuing how to shorten it.
"Let's get started. "Salin first blessed himself with the Ice Pattern Armor, and then covered the Ice Pattern Armor with a layer of Water Pattern Shield. This is Saline's strongest defense, and as long as Rex doesn't cast magic above level five, he will basically not be injured.
Rex flexed her fingers, clasped her index finger and middle finger with her thumb, and released the magic below the first level, she didn't have to make any preparations at all, but now she needed to try to make this first-level fireball, and this first-level fireball would take 4 seconds to prepare, and Rex was a little struggling. Pale blue fireballs floated at her fingertips, in the darkness, illuminating her face.
