"I seem to have found something remarkable. Siegel said to Janet, "I need to focus on this for a while and put all my energy into it." ”

"Does it matter?" asked Janet, smiling at Siegel, hiding her worries.

"Yes and no. Siegel took Janet's hand, kissed the back of her fingers, and said, "Is this research a matter of life and death? No, I don't think so." I have found a new direction in magic and magical creation, and I expect it will open up a whole new world for me. I'd love to know what's behind that electrified metal door. Now I'm inspired and in great shape, but I don't know how long it will last. ”

He took his wife in his arms and comforted her, "I know what it will be like when I enter concentration, everything around me seems to be thrown to the end of the world, infinitely far away from me. But don't worry, with you and Isaac here, I will always find my way back to reality. I need to leave other things behind for a while and focus on the research at hand. To do this, I must have your help. ”

Janet kissed the corners of his mouth, then pinched the flesh on Siegel's cheek with her hand and tugged hard: "Aha, I figured it out, you'll be idle." Remember, you left the two of us behind to play magic! Don't come back empty-handed at such a great price! ”

Siegel smiled and nodded: "The matter of the territory is left to you, let Isaac as the lord, you and Manna take things up together." Raven Baron stays with Isaac, you can use it to contact me, but it's not very important to try not to use the Pet's Soul Connection. Baron is able to handle operations related to territories and castle magic circles. I've imprinted knowledge into its head. ”

"If you can. A month still comes out to show underneath. The knights of the realm and the mages of the federation will be truly relieved to see you. ”

"Okay. I try to remember. Siegel thought for a moment, and finally explained, "Unless Mora's Peak sends their High Priest of the Dwarven Temple or Irene to bring it to Haim, there is only one sentence for them: I am in retreat to study magic, waiting." ”

"The development of the territory is booming, and the knights have great confidence, and the merchants are begging to cooperate with us, so you can rest assured that you can go to the mage. Janet supported him as before: "You are your mage, more than anything else. ”

If there is no Heim Collar. Siegel simply didn't have enough money to support his magical research, but he wouldn't have been able to devote his energy to it without Janet. The phenomenon of accelerating metal with a constant stream of lightning caught Siegel's attention. He knew that lightning could bring light and heat, but the ability to make objects move?

The mages focused on the effects of force fields, from the simplest mage's hand to move small and light objects, to telekinetic control and telekinesis, which were actually within the scope of the use of force field spells. In terms of attack spells, all kinds of force field punches, talisman palms, and even the most powerful powder palms that can fall from the sky, are all developments of force field spells. Lightning, fire, acid, and ice have always been used by mages for direct attacks. Take their most direct manifestation. Since goblins can use fire-related explosive abilities to create "guns", Siegel can use some of Lightning's abilities to accelerate objects. So do acids and ice also have undiscovered effects?

This idea was recorded by him as a future research direction, and now he is still focusing on electric current-driven warheads. The ability to accelerate from a rotating electric current was named magnetism - a pure coincidence of the translation of the various languages of the multiverse - a diffuse variant of a directional force field. He hadn't figured out the relationship between this and the compass's properties, but had tried to speed up the limits of what could be done.

And it was without the complete use of explosives.

The more powerful and tightly the lightning spins, the better its acceleration effect. But with the power and density of lightning comes more erratic light and heat. Those substances that can direct electric current, iron, copper, gold, and silver, although they last for different lengths, will eventually be melted down, without exception.

Only Adamantite persisted. Siegel believes that while Adamantite claims to be indestructible, it still has a point of destruction. It's just that this tipping point is still safe now, and the mage's use of lightning power has not yet touched this tipping point. Siegel used Adamantite as a conductor of electricity, isolated it with insulating glue resistant to brackets, and a Dwarven Rune Circle to deflect wear and tear from items - the cost of which would render it worthless if it consumed Adamantite - and powered it with the Mir Core.

Eventually, the rune-reinforced walls of Myr met an opponent, and the accelerated metal projectiles were able to burrow into the stone and destroy the structure. The small holes could not penetrate the walls or cause them to collapse, but they were more powerful than the goblin guns.

But is this the end? Siegel thinks this is just the beginning.

Speed, what he pursues is the fastest, at least to do his own extreme. The first spell to be applied to it is Shadowwalk, a method that causes the caster to move faster by moving to the shadow world.

As long as there is shadow, there is the shadow world, which is a place that is closely connected to the main material world, but this world is lighter and thinner, like air is to water. The shadow escapes and shadow jumps used by the assassins of the God of Murder are all based on the shadow world, and the shadow and shadow monsters that can move on their own are also products of the shadow world. One of the characteristics of the film world is acceleration. With normal walking power, it can reach about ten times the speed in the Shadow Realm, which may be able to be applied to current weapons.

Other spells, such as Light Spirit, can reduce the weight of objects and increase speed, but it is unknown why anti-gravity spells do not have the same effect. Acceleration cannot be cast on items, and its main purpose is to speed up the frequency of human active movements, and the warhead has no initiative, which is incompatible with the concept of spells, so Siegel abandoned the idea of modifying the acceleration.

The notion that speed and space are always linked, Siegel tries to use teleportation to warp space so that the bullet hits the target at maximum speed as soon as it finishes accelerating. This is not difficult to achieve, and the teleportation array of Mir City can do it. But the transmission is two-way. Closing the distance to the enemy is not a good idea. Unless it's to hit a straight line out of reach - this can be jotted down for later use.

At present, the speed of the bullet he has researched is too fast. Fortunately in the force field, once the bullet collides with the gas element, it will generate a huge amount of heat, and then melt itself. Steel can hold for a little longer, but if Siegel wants to push this weapon to the limit, he needs to find a way to solve the problem of frictional resistance.

Research has reached this point, and it is no longer as simple as making weapons. Want to kill enemies. There are countless ways to use necromancy to take a life with a single finger of his hand, drain his soul with a shout, and even kill someone in his dreams. Whether he can integrate what he has learned, whether he can push it to the limit, whether he can make his thinking broader and more unrestricted, this is Siegel's purpose now.

Using the magic circle, he could drain the qi element from the barrel of the gun. Using telekinesis can give the warhead an initial impetus to make it start moving. Then Siegel uses the magic circle to bring in the power of the shadow world. Give the warhead a momentary acceleration, and then it will be taken over by the power of the electromagnetic sphere. Keep pushing.

Siegel tried again and again, but since he could not take over the flight process after the warhead was ejected, the factors that affected the speed and power were concentrated on the shape and material of the barrel and the warhead. After numerous selections, the fine needle structure with a narrow fork at the end became the most effective choice, while pure gold remained the strongest and most stable material.

"You can't really use adamantite gold as a warhead, it's a terrible cost. Siegel directly hit the idea of the High Creation Circle, after all, many workshops in the territory have already used this method to save costs. The more valuable things are, the shorter the time they can survive in the High Creation Array, and things like Pure Gold, according to Siegel's ability, will last for one and a half minutes.

How far can you fly in a minute and a half, then how far this weapon can hit. Over the next few months, Siegel used meticulous craftsmanship to create a large creature measuring 1 meter in diameter, and then reduced its size by means of a constant-effect shrinkage technique to achieve greater precision and increase the density of the Adamantite coil - incidentally reducing its weight. He envisioned firing objects that were temporarily affected by the shrinkage, so that when it was launched and the maximum velocity was gained, the shrinkage would disappear and the weight would suddenly increase while retaining the speed.

That would greatly increase the power, and it would be more terrifying than smashing it directly into a mountain. However, the Shrinkage spell cannot be applied to anything created by Creation, and instead will dispel the spell directly, so conventional weapons can only be primitive-sized high-level Creation Adamantite Warheads. But he jot down the idea: use a shrinkage warhead to fire, but precisely controlling the end time of the shrinkage effect is a challenge.

He didn't alarm anyone, not even Janet. He chose a stormy night, and the water vapor rising from the ground was like a thick fog, and he couldn't see far without the help of his spiritual vision. The streets of Heim Territory were deserted, and only the patrolmen on duty reluctantly carried out their duties. No one would notice Siegel, let alone walking in the shadow world, leaving only a vague shadow in the dripping rain.

The magical enchantments of the entire city of Myr were also helping him to hide his whereabouts, and the Federation's spells could not detect him. Siegel came to the northwest of Mir City, where there were two gentle slopes next to the ore avenue, and a small depression formed in the middle, blocking the view of the surroundings and preventing the light from spreading.

Through the rain curtain, more than a dozen kilometers away is the city wall mountain range, towering and tall - this kind of goal will not be missed. By increasing the angle of fire, you can gradually measure the limit of the range and the change in the power of the weapon. In order to better document the results of the experiment, Siegel used a special projectile made of Mithril, which is second only to Adamantite Gold. These bullets cost him seven thousand gold coins, and if it was pure gold, it would be more than four times as much.

"No one can afford to use this weapon without Advanced Creation. Siegel shook his head. The goblin world seems to have very large Adamantite resources, so their warheads have some Adamantite components. No wonder the dwarves wanted to conquer that world - Siegel never believed in the so-called "must leave this world", there were too many excuses to start a war, and the feeling that his living environment was too small was the most common one.

Siegel aimed at the dark shadow of the walled mountain range, and then prepared to shoot. (To be continued.) )
