Chapter 65: The Tooth Witch Doctor's Vision
Bladefang made a trip to the Sharptooth Witch Doctor's house and entrusted him with the investigation of the composition of the moose population.
Faced with Bladefang's commission, the Sharptooth Witch Doctor was extremely reluctant to stop the research he was working on;
But out of trust, he still made plans to temporarily move to the 'cavalry training ground' and observe the moose herd nearby.
After the two trolls set off, Blade Fang recalled Fang's reluctant expression just now, and then asked suspiciously,
"Sharptooth Witch Doctor, what are you studying?"
Fangs seemed to be annoyed by him, and suddenly blew his beard and glared angrily,
"The recent new apprentices have all gone on to study botany; Even for advanced meditation methods, most of them chose 'vine growth'. ”
"Haha, isn't this also something that can't be helped? Refrigerator Trees, Fruit Trees, Martial Arts Trees, almost all of the important achievements now are from plant-based spells. ”
"Hmph, I didn't say that the plant system is bad, it's just that I can't get used to the pride of that old thing."
"What, you two are arguing again?"
The relationship between these two witch doctors is obviously not bad, but they just don't get along and always quarrel.
At first, Blade Fang was worried about whether they would completely turn their faces. But now, it's just fun.
"Who let that old thing say, 'Plant spells are the focus of the future, and Warcraft research has no future.'" I'm just angry, isn't there a contribution to Warcraft research? 'Wind Technique', 'Great Power Technique', etc., which one is not parsed from the core of the Demon Beast? With so many useful blessing-type spells, is he blind? I think those new apprentices are just bewitched by his nonsense! ”
"Don't be angry, they are also well-intentioned, the tribe's demand for the 'Plant Transformation' technique is too great, when will the nine of us have to fill it? It would be a real benefit for new apprentices to practice the 'Vine Growth Meditation Method' to advance to the witch doctor, which would not only facilitate the subsequent research of the botanical system, but also improve the efficiency of the spells in related aspects. ”
"Doesn't that require more investment in blessing spells? All of them are going to toss the plant department, and when I die, who will take over the animal department? ”
Bladetooth fell silent when he heard this,
On the one hand, he couldn't really agree with the idea that animal-based and blessing-type spells were not important;
But on the other hand, for the tribe at this stage, the progress of the botanical system can indeed bring more benefits.
Therefore, he could not refute the words of the fanged witch doctor, and he was indeed looking forward to the further development of the botanical department.
The Sharptooth Witch Doctor seemed to see Bladetooth's thoughts, but he didn't react too violently, just snorted a few times in dissatisfaction, expressing some dissatisfaction.
"So, what exactly are you researching? Listening to this, it seems that it is certain to overthrow the strong position of the plant system? "I can't answer the phone, so I can only repeat the old tune and care about the previous problem again.
This time it seemed to have scratched the itch of the Chinese witch doctor, but I saw that he didn't hum anymore, and began to tell with his eyebrows fluttering,
"Absolutely upset!"
"Oh?" Blade Fang gave a timely attitude of being willing to hear about it.
"Didn't a pack of wind wolves come up before, their leader happened to advance to a real demonic beast some time ago, and directly mastered the wind blade and wind walking technique."
"I know the news, I heard that the beast is showing off his power everywhere in the tribe, but it seems to be playing well with the little ones? The wolves are almost babysitting.... So? ”
"It was when you set out on the expedition that I tricked it and exchanged it for food to cooperate with me in the experiment."
"Haha, you're so cunning.... But be careful, don't hurt the wolves' feelings for the tribe. ”
"It's okay, I just want to observe the process of casting spells from the beasts. For example, the Windwalk, how it works on their own flesh, and so on. It's a living body, and I don't want to go too far, but I just look at the appearance, and the main thing is to compare it with the dead body. ”
"Did you get any results?"
"There are no results, but there are some ideas."
"How?"
"Warcraft has a magic core for spellcasting, and we witch doctors also have a corresponding meditation space; The difference between the two is that the magic core is real, and the meditation space is illusory. ”
"Yes, you are right, the main difference between us and Warcraft when casting spells is this. Cores allow them to use spells extremely quickly, but they also have limitations such as singleness and rigidity; However, we can use the rune culture analysis to use almost all spells that can be converted into runic language, and the disadvantage is that the casting speed is too slow.... On the whole, there are advantages and disadvantages of each other. But in terms of development, the advantage should be on our side. ”
“em.... You're saying that's great, but don't say it anymore, that's not what I'm studying. ”
"Uh.... You say, you say. ”
"If you hadn't interrupted me all the time, you'd have heard it by now." The fanged witch doctor muttered discontentedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really a little happy."
"Ahem, I wondered if I could let other clansmen have the ability to cast simple spells... It is to use the magic core as a meditation space, and find a way to copy the spell casting process of the demon beast to the warriors, which may be able to make them take a different path. ”
Bladetooth was interested, and tilted his ears to listen, motioning for the Sharptooth Witch Doctor to continue.
"Tsk, don't ask when it's time to ask....", a certain psychologically unsatisfied Chinese witch doctor pouted and continued, "For example, sewing the demon core into the body of the clansmen who have no ability to cast spells, so that they can obtain a single ... I want to think about what to call it.... Spell-like abilities? What do you think? ”
"Spell-like? Very apt words; Your vision is also interesting ... Wait, let me think about it. After agreeing to this, Blade Tooth frowned and fell into thought, considering the feasibility of the plan given by the Chinese witch doctor.
Undoubtedly, the Sharptooth Witch Doctor's idea is valuable; But the implementation plan he gave did not make Blade Tooth optimistic.
The core of the monster is basically located in the brain;
Through dissection, it can be found that it is not so much an independent 'proto-organ' as a special brain structure formed by an unknown mutation in a certain area of the brain.
This formation mechanism allows the magic core of the monster to naturally have a certain communication circuit with the flesh, so that the spell-like ability can be cast.
This 'loop theory' can also be confirmed by anatomy.
When the monster first died, the core tissue of the brain was still soft, and its outermost part was tightly connected to the other brain tissues.
There are not even strict boundaries between the two, which distinguish clear boundaries.
It is only when the core is separated from the brain that it begins to harden and eventually becomes the crystalline body they are familiar with;
However, in the process, its communication circuit with the brain has long since failed, and it has become a spellcasting medium that only looks dense, but is actually 'leaking' everywhere.
If, as the Chinese witch doctor thinks, the direction of research is to focus on the combination of demon cores and trolls, two obvious difficulties will arise.
First, how to restart the 'loop' that has long failed;
Two, where does it combine it with the troll? And how to combine? It's not like you have a hole in your brain and stuff it straight in, right?
After the thoughts were roughly sorted out, he thought about it and said the difficulties and obstacles that he thought of in a way that sounded less like mockery.
"Alas, you're right, I've found these things too.... For the sake of experiments, many large beasts have been killed, but no progress has been made... The old men in charge of animal husbandry don't know how to scold me behind my back. ”
The witch doctor sighed a little dejectedly, and continued to pour bitter water,
"Originally, I wanted to fight for a breath, and when I secretly got results, I would fall down on my rough face and laugh at him.... But after no progress for a long time, I didn't be hypocritical, and I just got the exchange meeting and thought about it to brainstorm together..... Yes, it happened to be the time when I was away, and the nine of us discussed this at the meeting, but there was no good alternative..."
Speaking of this, the fanged witch doctor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he tightly grabbed Bladetooth's arm, and said expectantly,
"By the way, you've always been smart, hurry up and wonder if there's any good way?"
Speaking of methods.... I don't know if it's going to work, but there are a few paths that seem to be feasible in Blade Fang's mind.
He didn't think about hiding his secrets, and he really didn't need to hide them, but he simply considered his thoughts before and after, and then said slowly,
"I'll tell you about it, I'm not sure if it can be done, and the follow-up practice depends on your side."
"Really!? You're a treasure from heaven! Talk about it, talk about it! Fangs patted him on the back excitedly, urging with joy.
The blade tooth was well slapped and stood still, and it took two steps forward to dissipate the force.
He glanced at the old boy reproachfully, and then continued,
"I don't think you're trying to figure out how to use the magic core, it's better to change your thinking and find a way to materialize and transcribe the runes to the clansmen, such as.... Carved into a piece of skin? ”
"Let the engraved runes act as magic cores, and then use some bodies... Well, like a special breathing rhythm, or a specific action to activate the runes? ”
