Colin was still uncomfortable with the elves' concept of time, but the result was very satisfying to both parties.

Knowing that the elves liked to be quiet, as a sign of goodwill, Colin packed up a podium of the castle and gave it to the 22 new guests. The entrances and exits are separate from the entire castle, so that the elves don't have to meet with other people as often.

But in fact, Colin found that these elegant races still preferred the jungle.

Spending most of his time in the forests of the Dragonspine Mountains outside the fortress, Colin was invited to their banquet by Olivia, and discovered that the twenty-odd elves had established a settlement deep in the jungle.

In the middle is a piece of reclaimed flat land, and wooden houses made of tree trunks and branches are scattered around it.

Light a bonfire, pick wild fruits and leaves for food, and sing and dance leisurely, life is simply comfortable.

The long life and lack of superfluous desires have led to an extremely low fertility rate for elves. The only hobby is to chew some mint, which is incomprehensible to mankind and envied to death.

Probably because they feel that it is "not natural enough", the elves never like the act of modifying seeds and soil, so the mint they grow is always not as good as that of humans, and the variety is not rich enough.

In the small amount of trade with humans, mint accounts for more than half.

In addition to enjoying life in the woods, the most popular place for these beautiful men and women to stay is on the city walls.

Elves have a much longer history than humans, and orcs have become mortal enemies with elves before humans landed on the Southern Continent.

I don't know why this kind of contradiction, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years, but the genes of hatred have long been engraved in the blood of both sides.

Whenever Colin had time, he would accompany Olivia as she climbed the walls.

Looking at the way the elves shot the orcs, he even felt that there was not only hatred in it, but also a kind of pleasure after the slaughter - probably like the feeling of a human swatting a mosquito to death.

However, orcs are not mosquitoes.

Hated by the powerful elves for so long, they still live on the Plain of Wind Whispering, and if they are counted in terms of numbers, orcs are probably the most multiplying humanoid creatures besides humans.

"Lord Olivia, are the arrows you send out with some kind of natural spell?" It took a few days for Colin to get acquainted with each other before he asked the question he had been curious about for a long time.

"This is the thorn technique of the druid, applied to the arrow, can significantly increase the penetration effect, but it has a lot to do with my natural spell ability."

"So you're using just ordinary bows and arrows?"

"Is there any special bow and arrow?" Olivia was puzzled at first, then nodded: "I know that there are enchanted weapons in the human world, but they seem to be very rare, and enchanting bows and arrows, it seems that I have never heard of it, and none of the basic frameworks in your magic pattern science are suitable for such parts as arrows." ”

From this point of view, it is clear that Olivia has some knowledge of magic.

Although the druid art has been out of the realm of magic, after all, it also uses spiritual power to urge, not to mention that these races with long lives, no matter how lazy they are, they will actively or passively receive a lot of knowledge.

Weapon enchantment, which can be regarded as a major category in magic pattern.

But it's very different from ordinary magic patterns.

The magic pattern is essentially a sophisticated and complex magic array, and any mistake or modification will affect its effect.

And weapons that need to be wielded at high speed and constantly collide violently are obviously not suitable for portrayal of magic patterns.

This requires the magician to use great ability and patience to resolve the contradictions inside.

It can't be too complicated, otherwise it's easy to break down, cut it out with one knife, and the enemy will be fine, and collapse yourself first.

It can't be too simple, otherwise there is no use for fart.

In fact, most of the high-priced weapons in the name of enchantment fall into the latter category, and the magic pattern is simple enough, but the effect is often just a surprise sound when wielding.

Legend has it that a magician devised an enchantment on a knight's weapon, which had the effect of wielding a sound similar to the shouts of the ladies of the Moulin Rouge when they were excited, often causing their opponents to be stunned or distracted.

The knight won almost every battle in the first duel, but in the end, he couldn't stand the world's eyes and chose to change his weapon, and soon died.

And those real enchanted weapons, all of which are masterpieces, expensive and rare.

And because the magic pattern itself does not produce energy, it is often necessary to attach energy storage gems such as magic crystals, which makes its use more and more expensive.

"Lord Olivia, maybe you can try our unique arrows."

Without further explanation, Colin asked Roderick to fetch a quiver from one of the soldiers, pull out one of the arrows, and hand it to Olivia.

The puzzled elf held the arrow in his hand and observed it for a moment.

"How did you do that? Does this magic pattern really work? ”

"The effect is mediocre."

Colin smiled: "As you know, the magic pattern itself cannot produce energy, and our soldiers do not have mental power, so the energy source that makes the magic pattern work is only the wind energy charge in the high-speed operation of the arrow, which not only slows down the speed of the arrow, but also can only produce a bad burst effect in the reality of extremely low energy conversion rate." ”

A single explosive arrow is indeed not powerful, and often needs to be fired in large quantities, and the enemy is concentrated enough to have a good effect.

Fortunately, the orcs developed a habit of concentrating on the plains, and by the time they found out that they had suffered a loss, they had already lost too many troops.

Colin continued, "As far as I know, natural spells are derived from water-based magic, so they have good extension, and it is difficult for ordinary magicians to do this by infusing spiritual power into arrows, and there is no need to do so. ”

For magicians, injecting spiritual power into weapons is purely superfluous, and with that skill, a fireball can solve the problem directly.

However, the direct attack ability of natural spells is not outstanding.

There is no shortage of powerful elven druids who can smash an enemy to death with a "starfall", but relatively speaking, the use of bows and arrows to attach natural spells is more energy-saving and cost-effective.

Olivia nodded, placing the arrow on her short bow in an extremely graceful gesture.

A green glow burst out at the tip of the arrow, and then a ray of light shot down the city.

Everyone was attracted by this dazzling "meteor", and they all watched it fly straight into the crowd of orcs.

"Boom!"

The deafening sound of explosions resounded through the battlefield, shocking everyone on both sides of the battlefield.

Huge sparks shot out in all directions, splattering into a range of tens of feet around.

There was silence on the walls.

The first thought of the fortress soldiers was: finished! I'm going to lose my job.
