Chapter Seventy-Six: A Clash of Ideas
"Who are you?"
Nansen turned around and asked.
"I don't think we'll ever see each other again in our lives, so there are some things that don't need to be said so clearly," Ryan shrugged, "It doesn't matter who we are, it's important that we know who you are." ”
After speaking.
Ryan shot an arrow at the mage apprentice beside Nansen.
- Greasing the soles of your feet!
This mage apprentice was obviously much quicker than Ryan and Ann encountered at the time, and immediately cast a trick on himself to dodge to the side.
- Lightning Beam!
Nansen immediately fought back, only to see that as he chanted a series of incomprehensible incantations from his mouth, a beam of lightning about one and a half meters wide shot towards Ryan and them.
Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, but just as he was about to respond, he suddenly noticed that Althea had also chanted a spell.
- Mage's Hand!
This is a trick that every mage must learn when they enter the profession. It's not very difficult to get started, and mages can use it to perform simple daily activities, such as picking up something from a distance or a high place.
A very convenient trick.
It's just that the most basic trick mage's hand can't be used in battle.
But Althea really has no intention of using the mage's hand to resist it now.
I saw that what she picked up with the mage's hand was a commemorative disc erected on the table next to her.
A magical scene happened.
The moment the lightning beam collided with the disc, this spell was blocked as if it were hitting some kind of sturdy protective gear!
Nansen's pupils shrank in disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
"Why can't it be? You are a mage, and you don't know that the material used to make this commemorative disc will emit a faint fluorescence in a lightless environment, so many nobles like to use it to make some small decorations to decorate the interior environment, does it have another characteristic? Althea said with a rare sense of indignation, "It's, it's completely non-conductive!" ”
Beautifully said!
Ryan couldn't help but praise in his heart.
He had always believed that Althea could be a great mage.
And Athea's actions just now even reminded Ryan of the account he had seen in a book.
[More than a thousand years ago, a powerful arcanist possessed a legendary artifact.] It was a cloak that could reflect any spell, but he eventually died in a humiliating way. ]
[During the Arcanist's casting a powerful spell on an Elven Mage, the Elven Mage enveloped the Arcanist in his own magic by casting the Mage's hand, destroying it in his own magic.] ]
Then, the arcanist, who had a great reputation during the Arcane Empire, was killed!
Although this incident is so bizarre that it is often said to be apocryphal, it is undoubtedly a classic case used by teachers in the mage academy to teach their own students.
As long as you have a wealth of knowledge and a clear grasp of the battle situation, then even a small trick can create miracles!
"Knowledge and magic are indeed some of the most wonderful powers in this world," continued Althea, "but they are not used by you for such tricks! ”
- Arcane Missile!
Nansen raised his eyebrows, he could see at a glance that Atheya's strength was much weaker than his own, and he easily intercepted it with a spell without hurry.
Then, with a sneer, he said, "Trick? If you think it's a trick, then give you a glimpse of what real magic is. ”
With that, Nansen recited the incantation in his mouth.
A raging flame lit up at his fingertips.
Looks like a precursor to the fireball spell that is also a three-ring spell!
"Let me do it this time."
Ann ran forward, and as the flames converged into a thick ball of fire, she was about to hit her with her hands crossed and struck her.
Then, ignoring the fire-scorched body, Ann swung her fist at Nansen.
- Shock Punch!
Ann's class level was only one level less than Nansen's, and the mage's fragile body looked so bleak in front of the ancient weapon's armour.
With just one punch, Nansen spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly on the ground.
And this is because Ann doesn't want to cheapen him so easily.
"Just for this stupid reason!"
Ann reached for Nansen's collar.
After what the other party said just now, and the experience on the way here, she has understood everything.
This made Ann feel the anger in her chest rising uncontrollably.
If at that time Ryan they did not appear.
She and Amy, I'm afraid, are already dead in the slums by now!
The reason for all this is simply because Nansen is dissatisfied with the Expulsion from the Mage Academy for not agreeing with his philosophy, this kind of reason couldn't be simpler!
Nansen coughed up a mouthful of blood and said disdainfully, "I don't have much to say to a vulgar warrior monk like you. ”
- Burning Hand!
At this moment, the sneak attack of the mage apprentice crept in.
It's just that Ryan won't be easy as he wants.
- Absorb the elements!
- Lost Steps!
- Trap Strike!
The mage apprentice may never have dreamed that the other party would attach so much importance to him, so he could only watch the dagger inserted into his chest and then close his eyes unwillingly.
And with the killing of the mage apprentice, Ryan's professional level has finally been raised to level five.
[Your class level has been increased to five, and you can now cast two two-ring spell slots per day; You've unlocked 'Extra Attack', which now allows you to perform an Extra Attack once each time you attack with a melee weapon, and the ranged damage triggers twice. ]
Nansen is not a formidable opponent.
Compared to the Blighter, although he is a proper mage, his strength is much weaker than the former.
More important.
Ryan saw that the two girls had a lot to say to Nansen.
Thereupon.
He eventually changed his mind and planned to hand Nansen over to them for disposal.
Rather than some trivial experience, Ryan cares more about the feelings of his partners.
Especially when the so-called beliefs in Nansen's hearts do not agree with the beliefs in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Ryan concealed his inner thoughts, and half-jokingly told them that Nansen would leave it to you to deal with.
He would be watching them.
Of course, if they are in trouble, he will also help.
"I have to say, the view is really good," Ryan commented with a seemingly relaxed look, "and in this place, you can clearly see the Bronze Dragon and the Potter Town guards fighting the Sawa Fishmen.
"Well, the plan was a little different from what we had envisioned, or rather it was different from the beginning," Althea said without replying, "but that's it...... It's not bad, it's just that. ”
Ann glanced back at Ryan, and she saw that Ryan was holding his hands on his chest at this time, looking very intently looking out of the window, and suddenly thought of something.
I see.
I understand.
Thanks a lot.
She thought to herself.
