Chapter 108: An Arm
Over the next two days, Odin completed his research on the ash cage and the solar wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoAlthough the canopy of guardianship in Paliwa City was not restored, the two magic circles had the expected attack effect.
The Radiance Ward, the Ember Cage, and the Solar Wind are each highly destructive against different natural elements.
Odin was exhausted by trying to awaken the circle, but he didn't stop - the Imperial army had been moving south for less than a month, and he had to be well prepared.
During this time, he ordered the mages of Deep Valley to create a large number of miniatures engraved with three circles.
The city of Paliwa was remote and poor, and political chaos had looted the city's scarce wealth. The raw materials of the staff are precious, and the city of Paliva categorically cannot afford it. Odin ordered the mages to carve the miniature circle into solid wood, dispensing with the rare hedron powder and plating it with a layer of Ugin and Mithril.
"Mr. Diggs, I doubt that your work is effective. ”
Gould is a mage from Deep Valley City, who studied at the Imperial Seminary for eight years, and his family is a vassal of Deep Valley. He was unwilling to follow the rules and become a monk of the Qing Dynasty, so he was lured by a generous salary and defected to Ted Hall, the wolf of the deep valley.
Almost all of the mage groups in Deep Valley City are from this background, "half noble, half mage", which is what people say about them. Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he looked down on this warlock of unknown origin, and never regarded Paliwa City as his battlefield.
"A war that must be lost. They privately taunted Carter Larson: "Paranoid desperate." At that time, we will put the fireworks on the edge of the battlefield, which can be regarded as doing our best. ”
And Odin's order to completely break away from the magic texts also seemed to them to be a joke - the city-state that couldn't even get the low-grade staff materials like Xue Song was sprinkled with Mithril and Ugin powder, and the delusional desire to replace the spell raw materials with ordinary wood, no different from children's graffiti.
However, the warlock also took great pains to ask them to work day and night, much to Gould's displeasure.
"Once you've used them, you'll know the benefits of these miniature circles. Unleashing them was easier than unleashing the Holy Fire Spell, but it was ten times more powerful than low-level spells. Odin didn't care about Gould's attitude, but asked the mages to speed up their work.
"You're saying that not only can you drive the city circle, but you can also make these little toys work in a similar way? Are you sure you're not kidding? Not even the Holy Priest would dare to say such arrogant words. Gould scoffed.
"Gould, you've seen the effects of the circle, so there's no need to doubt my orders. Odin put down the blueprint in his hand and looked directly at the luxuriously dressed middle-aged man.
"Do you mean the light that has been flickering around the city for the past two days?" Gould bowed politely, "With all due respect, Your Excellency, any seminarian who has studied for three years can go around lighting candles. If they don't want to continue to face the gods, they can go around as traveling tricks and deceive laymen. ”
Odin didn't seem to hear Gould's sarcasm, and smiled, "Then Master Mage, would you like to make a bet with me?"
"I want to hear about it. However, before I make a bet - if I win, then the mages of Deep Valley will no longer work for Paliva and will not participate in the Southern War, and will leave Paliva immediately - and the salary will be paid, of course. ”
Gould likes to bet with his buddies in brothels, and he once won a bet on a fireworks girl's tongue. I can't change this habit now.
"Why don't you add one of my arms?" Odin's smile grew brighter and brighter.
"That's a gentleman's words!" Gould straightened his robe and straightened up.
"I will not break my word. But if I win, then the mages of Deep Valley must obey my orders from now until the end of the war. If anyone backs down and disobeys, I will take their lives, how about it?" Odin offered a condition.
"This ...... It depends on what your gamble is?" Gould was bold and uninhibited, but he did not dare to admit it.
"Quite simply, what is the most powerful spell you can use?" Odin narrowed his eyes.
"Every mage is different, for example, Mr. Pearlman, who is good at freezing people into sticks, and Mr. Luca likes to burn people to ashes. Gould didn't even use the name of the spell in the imperial Chinese language - it was too profound, maybe the wild warlock didn't understand it at all?
"Well, I'll teach one mage master to use the woodcut circle first, and then ten mages will release the spell to the maximum, if the master who uses the woodcut circle wins, I will win, otherwise you can lead the gold coins back to Deep Valley City happily, and attach one of my arms. Odin said gently.
"Yes!" Gould almost burst out at the condition. Casting spells with rotten wood blocks is a ridiculous joke in itself. As long as the brothers are watched, and the warlock is not allowed to do any tricks, this gamble will be won—he can be regarded as a great deed for the mage group of Deep Valley City.
"The opposing mage must listen to me and learn how to use the circle until I think he passes—to be fair, Gould, it's better for you to be my caster. Odin added.
The Deep Valley Mage couldn't help but laugh and took a sip. He wanted to see where the warlock's confidence came from. Maybe he'll be able to cut off the warlock's arm himself.
Soon, ten mages were under the tower. When they heard the news, they all sneered.
"Gould, beware of being blown into a lump of minced meat by us. One mage quipped.
"That's what I'm worried about, too. Gould bowed exaggeratedly.
Odin invited the ten mages to watch his spell casting.
"Close your eyes and let the real world unfold in your spiritual sea. If you want to end the game as quickly as possible, be sure to do what I say. Odin made a request to Gould.
"Well, Mr. Diggs, I'll listen to you for anything until you lose an arm. Gould replied in a pretended seriousness.
He closed his eyes, and all he felt was a patch of white in the black world, floating around with small, shiny, transparent particles.
It was the same in his daydream, he thought nonchalantly.
"Do you see those white impurities? Do you see those transparent particles? Now, with your imagination, magnify them infinitely. Odin instructed.
Gould could only continue to bury his head in the black and white world. It took him a lot of effort to catch a small particle floating around, like a small silverfish in the spiritual sea, frightened and scurrying around.
"Be more careful. Odin said mildly, "Until you see its veins." ”
