CHAPTER XVI. Vaasa Mining 2
Because some unexpected things took too long, Mike and the others teleported to Darmshal to meet up with the connectors at half past four in the afternoon.
"Here, Brother Mike, why are you so late~~" The connector jumped up and waved his hand from a distance.
"Sister Kaylin, why are you?" Mike was surprised. Viscount Talengard described the head of the head as a good person, can Kailin be counted as good?
"It's Brad, I'm here to see him off. "Actually, there was nothing to do with Kailin, but the relationship between the two was not very good for some reason before, so she came to ease the atmosphere.
Following Kailin's fingers, Mike saw so-and-so in the corner.
"It turned out to be Brad, who tearfully vowed to change his mind and change his ways, and this time he plans to be a new person with his guilt and meritorious service?"
Brad held back his anger and pointed to the pretty girl next to Mike who was wearing a cashmere jacket, a black silk skirt, and a leather boot with a thin sword hanging from her waist.
"Who is she?"
"Philindre, the Master's bodyguard. "Because the surface fools are not very friendly to the dark elves, Philindrey used illusion to change his appearance.
"You, alas, we are all family people, don't let them be sad. Brad said this to Philindre, this girl is innocent with a hint of charm, indifferently revealing some curiosity, obviously a well-educated eldest lady goes out to play, but don't be deceived because of the two-handed trick to let the pig arch in vain.
Mike rolled his eyes, you don't have a lot of skills. "I can't go, it's getting dark. ”
Brad also rolled his eyes, you know it's going to be dark, how can you leave so late.
"Brother Mike, it's about 200 kilometers to get there, are you going to leave tomorrow? "Kaylin plays the round.
"It doesn't matter. With a wave of his hand, Mike began to cast a spell, and the 4th Order Illusion Shadow Spell simulated the 3rd Order Spell to summon the Phantom Pony.
Brad was speechless, and someone was back showing off their unused spell slots.
"Brother Mike, how fast can you recruit a phantom horse, and can it fly?"
"It's close to fifty normally, but it's almost double when you run, and it's not a problem to stick to it for an hour. I can't fly yet, but I'm already able to volley for a short time. "Phantom Pony abilities and speed are related to the caster's level, caster level 8 can run in the mud, 10 can float on water, 12 can volley for a short time, 14 can fly, and the speed is about 4 kilometers per hour per caster level but the fastest is only 50, and it can fly two or three times faster. Based on Mike's current strength, the caster's level "should be" 13.
"Wow, how good are you now, Master Gallup may not be able to run to sixty. "Master Gallup" in Kaylin's mouth is the most powerful mage in Darmshal and the most relied on wise man of Viscount Tallengard.
"Generally average. Mike pouted to himself, if he couldn't reach sixty, the caster's level would be 7, and he could be called a master here.
"Doesn't it take at least ten minutes to summon the Phantom Pony, and how did you summon it so quickly?" asked Brad. He can also activate a third-order spell, and he is ready to activate this summoning phantom pony, which is too convenient, but he is not too sure that it will be activated accurately.
Mike pointed to his temple, of course, because of the huge difference in our intelligence.
"Brother Mike, why the hell~~"
"I didn't summon directly, but simulated it with a fourth-order shadow illusion. While we often refer to the use of spells to turn into a pony and a horse as summoning, they are fundamentally different. The Phantom Pony is not a real creature at all, so it must shape both the body and the soul, while the horse only needs to shape the body, and the soul borrows one from the astral plane. According to the classification, the former belongs to the creation and the latter is the calling. Shaping the body is very fast, we usually recruit horses in a few seconds, and the horse can't grow anywhere, the main thing is that it takes time to shape the soul. Shadow matter has a big advantage in this regard, so twenty seconds is enough. "Of course, we need a little bit of shadow magic special effects.
'I see!' Brad realized. Although someone's character is not flattering, it has to be said that some aspects do have their merits.
"You can lead the way on it, Filindrey and I have another way. Mike snapped his fingers and texted the car to come.
The Phantom Divine Horse is of course practical, but the 3rd order spell is too low-end, just like BYD F3, it can be opened, but the bubble horse is obviously not as powerful as the Mercedes. The reason why the omnipotent traverser and high-end mage can teleport to Dhamshore in just ten seconds but are still two hours late is to solve this problem.
Lola was a little angry and very happy. Angry that a humble human is trying to use himself as a dragon as a mount, and he is happy that he finally has the opportunity to get high benefits. Since anger is only "some" joy is "very", it is obvious what choice Lola will make.
Next, Mike spent some time using his inexhaustible spell slots to make a "cockpit" out of steel and glass with tectonics, and also tried to ride it around, then teleported to Damshore with the otherworldly gallop, and finally went to the Sunken Tower to pick up the new horse that took the initiative to send him to join the connector.
Brad was speechless. As early as when a fledgling first came to Darmshal, he frequently used the portable scalable folding steel house as a travel artifact, and later when he arrived in the Moon Sea, he gave away the jewelry he had stolen from the Preg Pioneer Group, and now he returned to Darmshal and preferred to ride a dragon when he clearly had a horse available. Do you know how much trouble this will cause to others!!
Over there, Kailin's eyes had turned into little stars.
"Brother Mike~~"
"We're going to get down to business, and we'll fly you when we come back. Mike stroked Kaylin's head.
Kaylin stuck out her tongue at Brad, who was breathing fire, ran over and kissed him on the face, and whispered something that seemed to have succeeded in making him angry, before waving goodbye to everyone.
Philindrey sat on the dragon's back, touching here and there, his heart fluttering. 'It's a real dragon, it's still a red dragon, and such a powerful creature can be used as a mount. It's just a little smaller, if only it could be bigger, oops, wouldn't it be too greedy. There are also windshields and steel windows, this kind of curvature, manual impossible, must be the creation of high-level spells. He is worthy of being a great elder. Come on, come on, the happy life of your dreams is already beckoning to you, you must take advantage of this opportunity......
Then she felt her waist be grabbed from behind, and the dragon flew up.
"How does it feel. "I heard the heat in my ears.
"I haven't flown before, I'm a little afraid of heights, and I'm panicked. "Filindri was just the right amount of weakness.
"Undo the spell, I want you to be the way you are. ”
"Hmm. Phylindrey spat out a word, and the color of his skin gradually turned from white to dark, and changed back to the pretty dark elf.
Mike's left hand reached into the cashmere jacket, holding a ball of soft and tender, not particularly large, but just one hand, changing various shapes between his fingers, the elasticity is amazing, it feels very wonderful, and his right hand reached into the black silk skirt, which is full of plumpness, silky and greasy when it goes in, and full of suction when it comes out.
"Master......" Philindre's body writhed, as if trying to break free from the pair of wolf claws, but from time to time he rubbed the sensitive area of the man behind him. As she writhed, her body gradually became hot, and she also felt that the other party had already propped up her weapon.
"Hold on to the handrails. It took Mike a great deal of effort to get his hands away from the alluring place, fumbling his way to find a few hard, cold round buttons, and a few more pieces of clothing on the dragon's back.
"Isn't it going to fall all of a sudden? Flindrey stepped on the stirrups under his feet, grabbed the handrails with both hands, bent over his abdomen, raised his chest and buttocks, and completely exposed his secret garden to the fire behind him.
"Don't worry. Mike grabbed her waist with both hands and attacked slowly but surely.
Gradually, the originally smooth flight of the roller began to shake, and the amplitude became larger and larger, like a small boat in the stormy sea, and it seemed that it was in danger of being wrecked at any time. This made her scold in her heart, but she could only do her best to maintain her balance.
Finally, the storm stopped, and Laura was just breathing a sigh of relief, when she heard the man on her back say, "It's still a long time on the road, how about we use the back this time?" "Hmm......"
Laura scolded wildly in her heart, and just as she wanted to protest, she felt that her body was light, and it was much easier to fly.
Flying.
There are only useless mages, no useless spells!
"Can you still do it?" said Brad, his face darkened, and he didn't let out. The skirt buckles have been changed from left to right!You've come all the way here to do this?!I'm really blind to think you're a pure girl!!
"Of course!" Mike's tone was categorical, but his heart was still a little empty. Although the legs are indeed a little weak, they shouldn't have shown it yet, looking at how this guy's look seems to have known, shouldn't it......
"I haven't flown before, so I'm a little tired. Flindrey whispered. Although I have already used my own healing spells, it still hurts a little, and it will take a while and a half to heal, and the physical exertion is also very large, and the place on the dragon's back is too small and very laborious, even if my stamina has always been good, it is a little unbearable. As for the skirt buttons, it was deliberately reversed, hoping that the guys who stayed in Fata would have the same keen insight as the person in front of them.
"Then it's better to rest for a while, and don't rush this moment. Laura, look for a place nearby. Mike immediately descended the steps, "Just in time, I'll scout with magic first." ”
"Hmph!" Brad agreed with the nostrils of his nostrils, otherwise what could he do.
So the three of them and one dragon found a pit on the hillside and began to rest, while Mike used the Rank 5 Arcane Detection Eye to perform magic detection.
This spell can create multiple spherical detection eyes that are slightly smaller than goose eggs, and are usually very useful, but the problem is that only ordinary vision cannot see through the darkness, so it is not suitable for dungeon exploration, and it was obvious when he was hijacked by the circle to the Necromancer's Tower, which was later deduced to be the base of Roseda's Shinrikyo. This time it was much the same as that time, and I don't think the outcome would be much different. If it is an 8th-order spell with true vision, the high-level detection eye can naturally solve the problem perfectly, but the spell level is too high.
At this time, the real applicable spell is the Rank 4 Arcane Eye. Although there is only one, it is a projection of the caster's eyes, which has the exact same visual abilities as the caster, and can transmit images in real time, regardless of distance. It's just that,
"Possessing the exact same visual abilities as the caster, and being able to transmit images in real time" means that the caster is actually scouting, and it takes a lot more effort to maintain the magic.
Therefore, Offa has good eyes, but it does not meet the realistic needs of Mike to rest and recover his energy and physical strength after the battle.
Only a mage who can flexibly choose spells according to the situation is a qualified mage!
Brad angrily took a weasel out of his bag and gently put it on the ground, "Go, scout." ”
Mike suddenly remembered something when he saw it. "Philindre, do you have a pet?"
"No......," Flindrray snuggled into the man's arms. Actually, there was one, but the family was killed by this person's stray bullet during the war, and he almost couldn't survive......
"If you have time, let's recruit one, it should be quite useful to you. ”
"Hmm. "Of course it's useful, I've always been my own scout guard.
"The master's pet, it seems that I have never seen it before. ”
"It's not very useful for me, so I don't have a job. ”
"Oh. ”
Although it is the preserve of arcane users, the popularity of magic pets among pure mages is very low, far less than nearly 100% of that of magic warriors, and the reason for this is that the two are fundamentally different in terms of ability and use.
The power of the magic pet comes from the owner, and as long as the owner is willing, the magic pet can have the same knowledge and experience as the owner, and can be roughly regarded as a small animal form in which the owner is deprived of special abilities such as casting spells. The most common role for a mage who can't cast spells is a learned sage, and the most common use for a miniature warrior is a scout/thief. A small animal, even if it has received a small part of the owner's soul, is obviously not intellectually comparable to the owner, but its perception is likely to be equal or even slightly stronger, and its athletic ability is similar, and its concealment ability increases dramatically due to its size. Thus, as a wise man, the pet is far inferior to its master, and as a scout/thief, it is superior to its master.
In this case, the popularity of magic pets among pure mages is very low, and it is close to 100% among magic warriors, which is very easy to understand.
However, for high-level mages, because the advantages in knowledge and intelligence are too obvious, even if the demon pet sage behaves irrationally, it still has a great effect, and because many magic methods can be used to let the demon pet take on special tasks, the popularity of the demon pet is also very high. Master Zewahid having the pet Raven Kidd teach him is the most typical application.
Of course, Mike can also be used for this kind of thing, but he has been keen to play multi-identity games lately, and he has a super good spell mastery and a lot of spell slots, such as spellcasting ability granting, body change transformation, and home travel teleportation, all three in one, and he is fully capable of making the pet disguise himself as the right identity to perform the task. Therefore, even if he has a magic pet, he will not let others know.
