Chapter 2 The Sea Elves are kind by nature
Thinking of it, it is not too late to do things, that afternoon, Mike has already prepared, planning to visit his senior sister who has been sick for many years, and by the way, he ordered the beast human essence.
But before he could set off, he saw Coria hurrying over.
"Mike, I heard you're going to make a rat human?"
"No, Sermena was going to make it. What's the problem?" "Is biochemical modification really too evil......
"There's a problem, there's a big problem. Koria said with an anxious face, "Although most of the town guards are small creatures, the real main force is the gnoll goblin, and the rat-man enhancement is not suitable for this kind of power-type tall race, and it has to be done by werewolves." ”
“...... Sermena just wanted some scouts with a keen sense of smell. ”
"Don't give the main fighters a boost?"
"Don't give the main fighters strengthening. ”
"How's that going to work? This Sermena is not at all thoughtful. Koria looked very angry, "I'm telling you, werewolf elites are what they need most, and nezumi scouts are better than nothing." ”
“...... What do you mean by that?"
"There's a lot of problems with the town guards, you know that. ”
"Hmm. The mountains are lined with low combat effectiveness, and you made a public review a few days ago. "The focus of Kolya's review is that the talent structure is unreasonable, followed by the excessive occupation of labor by infrastructure construction, and then the busy sea affairs.
"Wukong has started to rectify the guard according to my analysis, and has initially solved several problems, and most of the others have a clue, but the most critical problems cannot be solved. I've told Sermena several times, and I thought that transforming beasts was for this, but she didn't take it to heart at all. ”
"What's the key question, why don't I know?"
"You've been messing around all day so that no one can find it, so it's weird to know. Koria aired.
"My fault, my fault, what the hell. ”
Coria rummaged through her bag and pulled out a notebook, notes from the experiences he had taken since he took power. Although Mike has a lot of shortcomings and is often unreliable, he is actually very good as a partner. It is very qualified to have the ability to lead the forces to constantly forge ahead; they do not hesitate to share benefits with their allies, praise them, and give them extra points; and they do not put themselves on the shelf of the so-called superiors, so it is relatively easy to get along with them. Korya realized this, so she was quite willing to help Sanzang Town, several times stronger than Mike himself.
"The people in Sanzang Town are basically illiterate, you know. According to the statistics of No. 1, even if you add your order, there are only 99 of them with a certain foundation, of which 76 are goblin kobolds, and basically all of them are subordinates obtained from the ruins. Therefore, the order you have built will probably be very limited in the number of spellcasters it can cultivate. ”
This "has a certain foundation", measured by the standards of the earth, is roughly equivalent to the second grade of elementary school. Although it has nothing to do with high culture, it takes a long time to master. If Brissa and Kobold, who are just ruins, pay more attention to education, Mike's cultural quality is even lower.
"Well, I've also found out that it's a headache. Mike nodded. For the vast majority of people, if they want to learn magic, even the simplest level 0 spell, "elementary school graduation" is the foundation of the basics. The townspeople of Sanzang Town are basically illiterate, and the difficulty of cultivating spellcasters is prohibitive. "But it doesn't matter, everyone is not mainly warriors, our goblin gnolls are better than humans. ”
"Well, you're taking it for granted, it's a little different from the actual situation, first of all, the guards have some problems with food. Koria flipped the note to another page.
In the "Long-term Plan for the Development of Sanzang Town" released by Mike on the satellite, the food consumption is described as follows: 150 kilograms of grain, 30 kilograms of fish/meat, and a number of vegetables and fruits are consumed annually by human light physical labor, and the total expenditure is calculated in 12 gold coins, which is used as the standard unit. The bear goblin cost is 3, the Gnoll cost is 2, the goblin cost is 1.2, and the goblin cost is 0.33. The logistics and industrial population is classified as moderately manual labor, with a coefficient of 1.2. In addition to daily farming, the agricultural population also has to clear the land in winter, and the average annual labor is between moderate and heavy manual labor, with a coefficient of 1.4. The sheriff is classified as medium manual labor, with a coefficient of 1.2, the ordinary soldier is classified as heavy physical labor, with a coefficient of 1.5, and the elite soldier is classified as strong physical labor, with a coefficient of 1.8.
Although Koria is a sea elf and does not particularly know the dietary needs of land creatures, after more than a year of practical testing, he has also found a problem: Mike's estimation is basically reliable for low-end people - those slaves are still healthy and emotional because they can eat fish every day, but in the high-end, to be precise, elite warriors, the data is quite skewed, in short, there is too little meat to eat.
For elite soldiers, the ratio of meat to food should be about 1:3 to be more appropriate, so it is not reasonable to set the index at the same level as ordinary labor. What's even more unreasonable is that because Sanzang Town has just started the aquaculture industry, there is almost none, and the fishing industry is relatively improvised, so there are basically fish every day and occasionally eat meat. Although meat food can replace each other to a certain extent, the current situation has obviously far exceeded the limit of substitution, which leads to the lack of high-end nutritional intake of the fighters, and it is difficult to further improve their physical fitness through training.
"Uh, can't you raise your diet and train harder?" Mike scratched his head. Is it not right to be poor and rich in martial arts, the "literature" of magic is even more expensive.
"It's not that simple. Diet is only one aspect, the key is to have your own potential, otherwise no matter how much you practice, you will have limited improvement, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is not cost-effective, so Wukong intends to distinguish between the elite, the regular army and the militia. But the problem is that the quality of the town guard personnel themselves is generally not high, and they can't pick out a few good seedlings. Koria flipped the note to another page with an emphasis marker. I always thought it was because I was unfamiliar with the materials that could be made, but this month I worked with Wukong to reorganize it and found that it was not like that at all.
The quality of the guards in Sanzang Town is generally not high, which has a great relationship with the formation of the Knights of Truth and the development strategy of Sanzang Town.
When the Knights were formed, a total of 60 people were selected, 5 bear goblins, 10 gnolls, 15 goblins, and 30 goblins, all of whom were 1 out of 50 elites. In this way, although the Knights of Truth are elite, there are not many good seedlings among those who are picked.
This also led to another problem, the significant decline in the force of Sanzang Town. Before the Knights were taken underground by Mike and them, the situation in Sanzang Town was relatively scarce in materials and relatively sufficient in masters, so the expansion strategy was to conquer the surrounding tribes and recruit manpower; The difference between conquest and subjugation is about five times that of the tall races recruited by the bears, goblins, gnolls, and goblins - in fact, the number of tall races recruited during the reign of Coria is not as large as the number of deaths for various reasons during Mike's reign, so the selection base is far inferior. What's more, over the past year or so, the town guards have repeatedly fought against the wild monster adventurers, and although there have not been many casualties each time, the total number of small amounts is nearly two hundred. The end result is that the average individual potential of the Town Guard is significantly lower than it was back then.
"In other words, if we want to select the elite, we can only gather everyone to raise the standard of diet and strengthen training for auditions, and the number of people who can be selected may be relatively limited?" Mike scratched his head. This consumption is too large, and it will seriously occupy the already scarce labor force, which is simply not feasible.
"That's true. Koria nodded, "It's hard, isn't it?" But it can't be without, a sheep led by a lion is too much different from a sheep led by a sheep. ”
"That's just as well. Then you say werewolves, do you think?"
"Well, you have to strengthen a group of elites to come out, too many don't need it, twenty or thirty is about the same. ”
"Let me think about it...... In this case, you and Wukong will first pick some candidates from the Knights and Town Guards, and the will must be relatively strong, at least at the level of a second-order spellcaster, otherwise the service life is too short and not cost-effective. Remember to pick more, it would be nice to have half the success rate. ”
"That's to pick fifty, the level of a second-order spellcaster...... This is not a low requirement, I'm afraid I can't pick out fifty, let me see. ”
As an outsider, I still don't know enough about the situation, and many of the methods are used with a lot of concerns, and the local residents are much more free and easy. Master Aland is ready to strengthen the nezumi bloodline for two hundred kobolds at one time, and Coria also hopes to transform twenty or thirty werewolves, one of whom is a great druid of Taoism and nature, and the other is a sea elf with a kind nature, which must be very in line with the mainstream values of this other world. The rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation, and Marvel is honest and does not deceive me. ’
Mike, who was riding a phantom pony and galloping incognito above the Viper Forest, continued to think as he flew. "I was going to take it from my sister Moressa, but I didn't think that my sister would say that her own samples were collected from the Lonely Wasteland, and it was necessary to compare them with the varieties in other places to see if there were any notable evolutions, so I still had to collect specimens. Hey, that is, my brother is an omnipotent traverser and a high-end master, otherwise where can I find it for a while if I replace it with someone else. ’
Beasts have always hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, such as the Supreme Forest of the Northland and the Viper Forest of Am. Considering that the simulacrum was farming at Am's reputation and Amm was offering a bounty to the beast-man, Mike felt that he could bring a trumpet by the way, so he chose the Viper Forest. Although the beasts in this place are already relatively dense, there may not be 10,000 of all kinds of beasts in tens of thousands of square kilometers of forests. If you let the barbarians find it, maybe there will be no results for a year and a half, but as a high-end mage, you can use the magic that represents the advanced technology and culture of the other world to solve the problem, specifically relying on the 4th order spell of the prophecy system to perceive creatures.
The effect of this spell is as its name suggests, and every time you cast a spell, you can re-select the creature you want to perceive, and the effect is similar to that of radar, very sharp, and it is by virtue of which Mike used to take everyone around like a headless fly in the ground to find the dark elves.
Rex actually thought of using perceptual creatures, but the target was not the proto-rat man, but the mountain giant, he hoped to find the opponent's lair and send out the whole army to break through the troubles forever, but when he asked Master Zewahid, the other party refused without hesitation - what are you kidding, even if it is a spell master of his level, it is difficult to find a specific creature that is not necessarily where it is in the mountains of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
However, this kind of thing is not considered to be a big deal by the omnipotent traverser. The reason is simple, although the level of Master Zevahid's 8th-order and 16th-level mage is much higher than Mike, who has always called himself a mage, but the mage is only a 5th-order and 10th-level warlock, but there is a 7th-order and 14th-level guy, and it is also significantly higher than the 6th-order and 12th-level Nimes chief mage, but if in terms of the maximum effect of the 4th-order spell of perceiving creatures, the master is obviously behind the chief mage of Nimes, and he will be thrown out of more than a dozen streets by Mike, a hanging man who has opened the memory of the great arcanist and the dual hanging of the extraordinary bloodline.
As a non-combat detection spell, the most important indicators of the Otherworldly Radar technique of perceiving creatures are detection radius, scanning speed, and accuracy.
The decisive factor affecting the detection radius is the caster's level and the extended range of the magic, the former determines the radius base, the latter increases by multiples, and the secret magic will be affected in a special way.
In terms of caster level, Master Zevahid has recently made a breakthrough, with his own cultivation and red-robed secret arts to enhance the caster's level up to 21, Nime's chief mage has 16 with his own cultivation and some special skills, and Mike's own cultivation plus the double enhancement of red-robed secret arts and magic magic skills is only 14. However, they all have red robes and can greatly increase their concentration through the Ring Ritual, either actively or passively, so the key factor in determining the final caster's level is the limit of personal control, Mike, who has drawn a lot of nutrients from the Grand Arcanist's memory, wins at level 30, and the Master's level 21 is only slightly higher than the Chief Mage's 20.
Extended range is a very practical and popular super magic stunt, both the master and Mike are very skilled, and the chief mage of Nimes has not practiced because of the rugged and narrow underground world, so there is no need to deliberately enhance the range. However, considering that the Dragon Palace has a mid-level range extension scepter that can make three non-super magic spells exert super magic effects every day, the three of them can be considered equal in this regard.
In terms of secret arts, the three of them have different practices, with a total of eight kinds of secret arts, such as the secret art of ** master, the secret art of red robe, the secret technique of deep earth, the magic magic skill, the super magic secret technique, the shadow shaping secret technique, the arakni spider technique and the shadow magic secret technique. Because the practice of secret arts must be targeted to adjust the casting talent, there are compatibility problems with any two of them, so the master and the chief mage are both one kind of mastery before starting to cultivate the other, only Mike, who has opened the transcendent bloodline, can have a mage talent and one warlock talent and another at the same time, and the warlock still uses the forbidden practice method of taking the essence and turning it around.
**The starting point of the secret art of the master is extremely high and the effect is diverse, it is the world's first-class secret art, and only Master Zevahid practices it. However, the master's small elemental mastery branch is designed to flexibly adjust the elemental type of elemental spells, and has no effect on the prophecy spell of perceiving creatures. So the three are even.
The red-robed secret art is a secret technique recommended by the Torre Empire, the core of which is to greatly enhance the power of the spell through the ring method and extreme specialization to increase the caster's level, and it is the world's first-class secret art, and the master has already completed Mike's practice, and most of the chief mages are not yet beginners. However, there is no difference in the Tour of Law because you can ask Master Zevahid to preside over the Tour of the Tour to strengthen yourself, and in terms of extreme specialization, Master Zevahid strengthens the plastic energy, and Mike and Chief Mage Nimes are prophecies. Therefore, Mike was clearly superior to Chief Mage of Nimes in this regard, and Mage Zevahid, who had achieved great knowledge of the red-robed secret arts, was narrowly disadvantaged.
The Deep Earth Prophecy is a secret art created by the inhabitants of the underground, the core of which is to communicate with the earth and rock to detect the underground environment and the leyline nodes. Although this arcane technique can strengthen the prophecy system, it focuses on exploring non-living resources such as mineral leyline nodes, and must rely on leyline radiation, so it is not useful for finding specific creatures on the surface. So the three are even.
The core is that the two arcane means of the warlock and mage are cast at the same time, which is comparable to the world's first-class secret arts, and only Mike practices alone, because he has adopted a high-risk practice method that only adjusts the warlock's talent and does not move the mage's talent, so he only feels too risky to practice until the fifth level. The first level of the arcane spell combined effect super magic is quickly upgraded, and the caster's level is also increased to a certain extent, but it has no special effect on the spell itself. So the three are even.
The Shadow Shaping Secret Art is a secret art created by the inhabitants of the underground, and its core lies in the use of shadow energy to enhance illusions, claiming to be able to not only disillusion the truth but also to investigate illusions. It's a pity that it's essentially just an enhancement of illusion spells, and it's only second-rate on the whole. Mike is the only one who practices, and when he reaches the second level, he puts it down for the time being. You must know that no matter how strong the illusion spell is, it will definitely not be able to increase the ability to cast prophecy spells, so the three of them are equal.
The Arachni Spider Technique is to foster a virtual spider in the body in a special way, the core of which lies in the power of the spider, which is known as the unity of humans and spiders with great power. However, this is actually a technique of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and it is not considered to be a beginner from the perspective of a mage. Only Mike practiced alone, and the purpose was only to enter the door to cast a spider summoning spell, so as to combine King Kong with the Shadow Mystery Technique. Spider power and prophecy spells have nothing to do with each other, so the three of them are equal.
The core of the shadow magic is to use shadow energy to attract shadow matter, which is known to have the ability to turn illusion into reality, flexible and versatile, but in essence, it is only the expansion and strengthening of the two series of spells of shadow spells and shadow shaping energy in the shadow spell of the illusion system. Mike is the only one who is just getting started. Since this arcane spell is essentially just an expansion and enhancement of the two series of spells in the shadow spell of the illusion type of shadow spells, it is definitely impossible to have the slightest benefit to the prophecy spells. So the three are even.
The core of the super magic secret art is to strengthen various super magic stunts, making them more flexible and effective, and even the same super magic can be repeatedly applied to the continuous spells, which is also the world's first-class secret art, only Mike practices alone, and has been put down after practicing the fourth stage. But there are reasons for this. Generally speaking, the practice of arcane arts is based on a characteristic as the core, and it is continuously strengthened as the progress deepens, and at the same time, the practice of related characteristics is appropriately added, but this is not the case with super magic secret arts, its real core is all kinds of super magic stunts and spell knowledge, all outside of the secret arts, and the secret arts themselves are just allowing people to constantly learn new characteristics that can be used to strengthen super magic stunts. Therefore, even if he started to turn after learning the three low-end practical skills of compound supermagic, cooperative supermagic, and effect supermagic, it would not affect the effect of the technique, but the effect would be outstanding because he opened the Great Arcanist Memory Hang. In the current situation, what is needed is a multi-fold increase in the range of compound super magic, and with Mike's knowledge reserves, for the 4th-order sustained non-combat spell of perceiving creatures, it can be "spell bit super magic 1st order + effect super magic 7th order" compound range increase, a total of 8 times more than the pseudo-12th order range increase, throwing the master and the chief mage out of more than a dozen streets.
Taking all factors into account, in terms of maximum detection radius, Master Zevahid and Chief Mage Nimes were both at a similar level of seven hundred meters, while Mike was close to six kilometers, an order of magnitude higher than them.
The scanning speed varies greatly depending on the accuracy of the scan, but everyone uses the fastest scan to ensure that the target creature can be perceived first, and then scans with high accuracy after the target is found, so only the fastest scan speed can be considered, which mainly depends on the mastery of the prophecy system and the perception creature spell. In terms of the prophecy system, among the three, Chief Mage of Nimes, who is a prophet and masters 6th order spells, is the most profound, Mike, who is a prophet but has a spell rank of only 5, and Master Zevahid, who is a sculptor but has a spell rank of up to 8, is at a similar level. As far as the spell of perceiving creatures is concerned, Mike is basically the best at finding the dark elves, and Chief Mage of Nimes is at the same level as Master Zevahid.
Therefore, in terms of scanning speed, it takes about three minutes for Chief Mage and Mike of Nimes to scan a circle at the maximum search radius, and more than five minutes for Master Zevahid.
Taken together, with the goal of finding specific creatures, Master Zevahid can scan about 50 square kilometers in an hour, Chief Mage Nimes can scan about 80 square kilometers, and Mike can scan more than 600 square kilometers. Therefore, finding a specific creature that may not be where it is in the tens of thousands of square kilometers of forest, something that Master Zevahid and Chief Mage Nim find very difficult, is only two or three days of work for the omnipotent traverser and high-end mage.
But of course, this kind of thing can't be talked about, otherwise the lonely and unheard of natives from the other world will make a fuss, even if they can accept it, they can't be used as a human reconnaissance plane to do coolies every day. Therefore, Mike has never told anyone that he has practiced super magic techniques, and this time he can only act alone, but it doesn't matter, anyway, those dishes that can only crawl on the ground are vulnerable.
