Mo Yan has always been very curious about magic, after all, as a person from the world of technology, magic only appears in legends. The alchemy of turning stones into gold, the forbidden technique of summoning meteorites to wash the ground, and the technique of short-distance teleportation, these legendary magic made Mo Yan very interested. If possible, Mo Yan hopes to use his inexplicable power in exchange for the magic of 30 million little yellow books.

But the truth made Mo Yan very frustrated, he didn't have any possibility of casting magic. According to Vivian's words, Mo Yan's magical resistance made the magic elves who were the basis of magic disgusted Mo Yan. The inability to communicate with the magic elves is destined to make Mo Yan have no chance with magic.

The same tragedy is true of the Salts, who are not excluded by magical elves, but are also close to them. The worship of the god of war gives them a strong physique, but it also makes them inherently inaccessible to magic. And because of Elan's special situation, there are almost no magicians who want to come here, and most of the monsters who can use magic are low-level things, which can't cause any damage.

So in the eyes of the Salts, magic became something flashy. Although it looks powerful, the actual lethality is also limited, and it is not impossible to avoid those magic as long as you have a sensitive body.

It is precisely because of this that when Mo Yan sent people to post notices recruiting mages in various cities, all the Salts saw a big joke, because Elan did not have magicians. For a period of time, Mo Yan had considered letting those Drow mages move to Thunder Cliff, as long as a dark basement was built, then the problem of Drow not being able to see the light would be solved.

However, the reply of the Drow rejects Mo Yan's idea, because the magic of the Drow elves has been adapted to the darkness for a long time, so even if it is taken to the ground, many things will fail. Because the casting environment they need can only be satisfied by the underground.

Mo Yan didn't understand magic and didn't know if the Drow Elf's statement was correct, but Lilith confirmed it. Many factions have different requirements for magic, and it is not impossible that the drow elves have been underground for too long, and their magic has developed into the underground environment.

And just when Mo was not going to give up and recruited a mage in a short period of time, an old man consciously appeared in front of him. It can almost be said that he can become an official mage of Thunder Cliff without asking for any treatment, and according to Vivien, this mage has good strength.

"Don't you know that your appearance will make you look suspicious?" Mo Yan sat on the main seat of the living room and looked at the old man in front of him and said, "A powerful mage, who came from Maro to Elan. There are no requirements to become a mage of a monster? Such a good thing can only exist in dreams. ”

"Hehe......" the old man stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, "Of course, I also know that making the right requests will make me look more like a mage." The same is true of Marlowe's officials, who were still on guard against me while I was gone, thinking I was a spy for another country. ”

"So, it's your special side. After listening to the old man's words, Mo Yan shook his head and said, "As long as reasonable people don't believe it, there will be such a good thing." If you're here, you know you have what you need. ”

"That's right. The old man nodded and said, "I am a wandering mage, and I am very curious about the strange things that happen on the mainland. I spent almost three years in Maro City studying the buried elven ruins under Maro City, but unfortunately it took me three years to see everything because of their precautions. ”

"Then you must not be using the proper method. Mo Yan smiled and said, "If that relic is important, they won't show it to a mage who can run around, after all, those are their wealth." ”

"It took some work. The old man smiled and nodded, and said, "It took me a year to figure out the rules of the people who monitored me, and it took me a year to explore the path to the underground, and in the last year, I finished researching the elven ruins. But it's a good deal, and I've found a lot of ancient magic in the ruins, some enchanted magic that has been lost. ”

"So what's there here that interests you? Mo Yan said: "There are no relics in Elan, and I heard that even magic items are very rare. ”

"Huh...... There's something amazing here. The old man looked straight at Mo Yan and said, "When I was in Maro, I heard in the tavern that there was a city founded by monsters in Elan, and the ruler of that city was still a minotaur. Everyone else thought it was the young businessman's delusion, but it wasn't a big deal for me to want to see it. I'm curious when the Minotaur also had such a high level of intelligence and strength. ”

"Then are you planning to dissect me?" Mo Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "If this is your purpose, then you are going to be disappointed, I don't have the habit of using my brain as a reward." ”

"I'm not one of those evil mages. The mage shook his head and said, "First of all, the magic I practiced was elemental, and I didn't know anything about anatomy or anything like that. And I don't like to force people to hand over things that they don't want to give, I prefer to be like an alchemist.

I can help you build your city's defenses for free, and help you make some magic items for free. All I need is for you to cooperate with me in some experiments, which won't even harm your health. ”

A chance to be a guinea pig in exchange for the help of a ** master? It seems to be a very worthwhile thing, after all, the mage also promised that it was some safe experiments. But Mo Yan was not moved, as a person who was still quite skeptical, let him do those experiments that he didn't understand at all, Mo Yan would not agree.

"Then I beg your pardon for refusing. Mo Yan mercilessly refused: "Even so, I don't have the slightest interest, after all, I don't understand magic, and I have no way of knowing whether your so-called safety experiment is as safe as you say." And in terms of the safety of the city, I think I can do well without the help of magic. ”

"Hehe......" The mage was not disappointed by Mo Yan's refusal, he was too familiar with this kind of refusal after wandering various countries for a long time, so the mage stood up and picked up his magic staff and said, "Then I can also apply for the job you recruited, can't I? I can still accept the salary of three hundred gold coins." ”

"I really don't stop until I get there. For such a request, Mo Yan did not refuse, after all, a mage from the Central Plains could not be met at any time, so he smiled and said, "Lilith brought the contract documents and brought them right...... I haven't asked for your name yet. ”

"My name is Rezner. The old man took the document handed by the succubus, signed his name without even looking at it, and said, "You can also call me Ruiz." I see that a castle is being built in your city, and I think your mage tower must not have been built yet, so I think I can guide you, after all, there are many requirements for the foundation of the mage tower. ”

"Actually, there is no design for the Mage Tower at all. Mo Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But since you proposed it, then adding a single tower on the periphery, I don't think it will affect the appearance." I'll leave this matter to you, by the way, can you tell me about the city defense after you finish the filing? When I just said that I can do it, your expression seemed a little delicate. ”

"Hehe......" Ruiz nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I will come and explain to you how the cities of the Central Plains are fortified." ”

After Ruiz set up the file in Mo Yan's archives, he talked with Mo Yan in the meeting room until late at night. Obviously, for the talking minotaur, Ruiz is also very curious about what Mo Yan can do, so he will interject some very philosophical words from time to time in the conversation to see how Mo Yan understands the world, and unconsciously Mo Yan has begun to experiment.

In Ruiz's words, the cities of the Central Plains have reading circles to protect the entire city. Circles are not activated in normal times, but are activated once the siege is reached, resonating with the branch circles scattered across the walls, forming a shield against spells and trebuchets.

The siege in the Central Plains War was not like in Elam, as long as there were siege equipment, you could climb the opponent's wall. A large number of magic traps spread throughout the city walls will put the besiegers in extreme trouble and be killed by the defending army. And these spell facilities must be spelled to be removed.

So in the Central Plains War, it often lasted for several weeks. On the offensive side, they will constantly use rune stones to attack the city's shield and consume the city's strength. Although there are times when soldiers with elimination scrolls are sent to attack the walls of the city directly, regardless of their shields, they often pay huge losses.

Therefore, the siege battle in the Central Plains depends on whether the shield to defend the city is strong enough, or whether the attacker has prepared enough trebuchets and spell-casting materials.

"I see. Mo Yan nodded and said, "Then it seems that the Salt people are really weak." ”
