……

Seeing Rhaegar coming out of the room, and Zeller working on the desk next to him, Matthew told him the information about the Blight Order, and also introduced Eli's situation in passing.

Hearing this, Rhaegar showed a look on the face of a passer-by:

"Oh, infatuated boy, it's really hard to do."

"I've seen that white cat, to be honest, she's not bad-looking, and she still has an indescribable charm on her."

"My suggestion is to find a more energetic alternative for the kid named Eli, and if he has a heavier taste, why not try the hairless cat of Purgatory? They are more flattering and more explicit. ”

Matthew looked at Rhaegar strangely:

"Do you even understand the aesthetics of cats?"

Zeller interjected:

"Rhaeggar's ex-wife has purgatory, hairless cat blood."

Rhaegar immediately retorted:

"It's not my ex-wife, I haven't divorced her yet!"

"And it's not completely hairless."

Zeller shrugged:

"You're right."

Matthew looked at Rhaegar suspiciously, always feeling that letting this guy come up with an idea would only be a mess.

So he told the people his plan.

"I'm going to eradicate the Blight Order once and for all, and after that, I'll settle the emotional dispute between Eli and the little white cat."

"Loraine, can you delay your departure for a few days? I need to keep an eye on them for me, and take care of the woods for me. ”

Matthew looked at Loraine.

The latter nodded, and then showed an emotional expression:

"Matthew, you're only in your twenties, how can you mentally look like an old father?

But then again, Eli was really lucky to have met you.

If I had a trustworthy friend like you when I was younger, maybe I wouldn't have gone down the wrong path. ”

Matthew is completely immune to the high hat he puts on himself:

"Your evil path refers to demigods and legends?"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Lorraine said with a hippie smile:

"Can you help me intercede with Ekmond and ask him to help me remove the Alliance's wanted warrant."

Lega was taken aback:

"Are you a wanted criminal in the Seven Saints Alliance?"

Lorrain admitted:

"More than ten years ago, I made a mistake and committed a case.

The main thing is that I accidentally provoked a high-level mage, and that mage seemed to be a relative of Ekmond, so I accidentally got on the Alliance's wanted file and became a fraudster.

Fortunately, it has been a long time, and the amount is not large, and now almost no one remembers it.

But it still bothers me because I can't use my identity openly.

Every time I use a pseudonym, it's a bit of a pity for me. ”

Matthew mused:

"How much money did you cheat?"

Loren recalled:

"Not much, twenty or thirty thousand?"

Matthew is a little weird:

"The amount of twenty or thirty thousand yuan won't be on the wanted file, right?"

Loren sighed and said:

"It has nothing to do with money, it has to do with people."

Matthew reacted quickly:

"You lied to his family?"

Loren coughed:

"His daughter can indeed be considered a victim."

"At first, she and I just met in Pingshui, playing casually, and she told me in person that she wouldn't cause me trouble, but a few days later, she changed her mind and pulled her father to the door to force me to marry her."

"I forgot to leave the bracelet she gave me when I ran away, and as a result, I was convicted of being a fraudster."

The office hall fell silent.

Matthew also stopped asking for details.

He thought for a moment and replied:

"I can't guarantee that Lord Ekmond will give me this face, and the relationship between me and him is actually very shallow, but I will try."

Loren made a gesture of love:

"You can rest assured, I'll watch Eli for you, and I promise he won't lose his life in the few days you're away."

Matthew was relieved when he heard this.

With the two legends of Lorrain and Richard, and Ekmond's clone, Rolling Stones and Oak Forest should be safe in the short term.

He looked at the other two:

"Is the matter in the south completely settled?"

Zeller replied as he wrote the paper:

"Last evening, an urgent letter was sent from the Red Earth Mountains, and their lord issued a declaration of inviolability against us.

As a sign of goodwill, the Red Earth Mountain army even withdrew to the south of the Prancing Horse River, and they vacated nearly a third of the golden fertile fields, which we could eat or use as a buffer zone. ”

Matthew nodded:

"Kusulus reacted so quickly."

Zeller also said with emotion:

"This is the power of the Seven Saints Alliance, it doesn't need to move a knife or a shot to scare off an ambitious dragon!"

"But then we are also busy, after the news spreads, it is expected that many residents of the Golden Fertile Fields will defect to Rolling Stone, including some minor nobles or soldiers who are trying to take revenge on Red Earth Mountain, we must deal with these people carefully, and not let them cause an impact on the existing order in Rolling Stone."

Rhaegar also sighed:

"yes, I'm going to be busy next."

Matthew and Zeller squinted at him at the same time.

The latter silently lifted the Union Weekly and covered his face.

"Mrs. Wesley, have a cup of coffee!"

He shouted as if nothing had happened.

Zeller suddenly spoke:

"Matthew, you're going to deal with the Blight Order alone, I'm still a little worried, take Rhaegar with you, he's idle anyway."

Rhaegar immediately put down the newspaper and protested:

"What do you mean to be idle and have nothing to do?"

"As the lord of Rolling Stone, am I not the most important backbone?"

"Without me, this territory would have been scattered a long time ago!"

Zeller just looked at him:

"Are you going?"

"You can choose to go decently on your own initiative, or you can choose to go less decently after being persuaded by me."

"I remember Asma and Brynn coming out from behind the door, right? If it's time, I'll have them pick you up. ”

Rhaegar glared at Matthew, then said weakly:

"Okay, okay, I'll just go with Matthew."

"I don't need to pack, I'm ready to go!"

Matthew raised his hand to stop:

"Wait, we can't go yet."

Instead, Rhaegar urged in a hurry:

"Without further ado."

Matthew looked at the sky outside:

"Let's go in the afternoon, I still have classes in the morning."

Rhaeggar's expression suddenly became a little disappointed.

At this time, Zeller suddenly said faintly:

"Speaking of which, about that guy named Eli, do you need me to find him a succubus?"

Facing Matthew's look of surprise.

Zeller explains:

"I've heard that it's hard for a man who has been ravaged by a succubus to fall in love with a woman of another race, and of course, I've only heard about it."

"Or can we try something else?"

"How about finding him another type of hobby?"

"Let's say, planting trees?"

Lorain shook his head:

"It doesn't work, he's a natural seed of infatuation, and he likes to weave an illusory trap for himself and fall into it."

"It's not so much that the women lied to him, but that he likes to lie to himself."

Rhaegar couldn't help but put down the newspaper and proposed:

"Do you want him to see the true face of a woman?"

"Find a bad woman to train him?"

Zeller said angrily:

"Are you afraid that he won't sink deep enough?"

Loren thinks this plan is feasible.

The three of you said a word, and they had a heated discussion.

Gradually, the atmosphere of heated discussion in the office hall gave Matthew the illusion of being in a neighborhood committee.

……

Crucible House.

Margaret wore a cow-patterned home dress today.

She looked a little listless.

But when it came to class, Margaret's voice was still sonorous:

"Today is the third theory lesson, and it's mostly about head-on spellcasting confrontation.

What is the most important link in the process of face-to-face spell casting confrontation?

It's chanting!

We all know that the chanting time of spells of level 1 to 2 is about 2~4 seconds;

For Tier 3 to 4 spell chanting time, the casting time is extended to 3~8 seconds;

Tier 5 spells generally take 6~10 seconds;

Legendary spells are longer, half a minute, a minute at every turn.

Although it has a variety of abilities that support spellcasting: Channel Acceleration, Spell Silence, Spell Instant...... However, these skills are difficult to use on top of spells of the same level.

Assuming you're a legendary, you can of course instantly cast spells below the fifth order, but you'll have a hard time doing it with legendary spells.

By the way, bullying is not in our curriculum.

I'll only teach you to face opponents of the same level or even higher in various situations.

Therefore, under the head-on confrontation of the same level.

Chanting is an almost impossible part.

In this session, I would like to highlight three parts of the story, which are "Spell Awareness", "Spell Ability", and "Surreel's Chanting". ”

Brush Brush Brush!

The feather note in Matthew's hand flew up.

Margaret took a sip of water and explained one by one:

"Spell Awareness is one of the most useful abilities, and it's essentially a spell.

It can help you determine what spell he is chanting, at least in what realm, by the first few syllables of the enemy's chant.

Knowing what spells the enemy is using will allow us to respond better.

He's holding back the fireball, so we'll give him a "Plastic Spell Reversal";

He's summoning celestial creatures, and we're ready to "banish otherworldly creatures" in advance;

He's constructing an illusion, and we can just hang up the high-level Truth Gem and watch the clown.

In short, spell knowledge is the basic skill of head-on confrontation. ”

Matthew couldn't help but nod.

This is a ability that he lacks very much.

He has good eyes and good hearing, but his lack of training and knowledge of magic makes it difficult for him to predict the spells of his enemies.

Usually only after the opponent has finished casting it, Matthew reacts in hindsight.

In this regard, the system actually only plays an auxiliary role, it can only give the information perceived by Matthew in a digital and intuitive way, and rarely can skip Matthew's perception to do more.

This is actually a very dangerous sign!

Margaret didn't give Matthew a chance to think deeply.

She gushed out:

The second point is "magic ability".

As the name suggests, this process is to solidify the combat spells you use from time to time into your own abilities.

Spells need to be chanted, abilities don't, and that's what spell capabilities are all about.

There are currently dozens of ways to become a spell capable within the Alliance.

But I personally only recommend both.

First, find a high-level mage and let him help you solidify the target spell on your body, this is the easiest and easiest way, you just lie down, the only thing you need to pay is interpersonal relationships;

Second, train hard, use the spell every day, with the corresponding potions, usually after 2~3 training cycles, you can initially turn a common spell into your own ability.

Each training cycle is 14~21 days.

It's hard, but it's the most down-to-earth way.

Spell Counter, Spell Awareness, Spell Reversal, Copper Skin, Bull Power, Dash, etc., are all spells that are very suitable for ability.

By the way, I can reveal to you -

I have more than 40 capable spells on me. ”

Matthew exclaimed when he heard this:

"You've worked so hard!"

Margaret glanced at him:

"Nope."

"Only 1/4 of them I have trained my own, and I have paid for legendary or quasi-legendary mages to help me solidify them."

"They're the root cause of my debt."

Speaking of which.

She sighed wistfully:

"This goes back to our first lesson."

"What's the most important thing about a mage?"

"Money! Money! Still fucking money! ”

Margaret looked very disgruntled.

It seems that her fundraising plan has not been going well lately.

Matthew obediently bowed his head and listened.

Fortunately, she soon entered the state of explanation again:

"The third piece is the focus of today's lesson, and what I think is the best chanting technique at the moment, and it comes from my teacher, Ms. Surier.

After an in-depth exchange with the dragons, Lady Surrell extracted some of the essence from the dragon's magic and incorporated it into the chanting of human spells, and since then the "Soulel Chanting Method" has been created.

The advantage of this chanting method is that the sentence is pronounced clearly, the tone is abrupt, and the speed and rhythm of the chant can be controlled by itself, and then the injection and outflow of magical elements can be controlled.

It's a bit abstract to say that, so I'll show you the contrast. ”

said.

Three figures appeared in front of Matthew's eyes.

They were all chanting the classic spell of Fireball.

Margaret tacted.

The three of them each spoke, and Matthew's ears rang one after another with three different styles of chanting, but the volume was full.

According to Margaret.

The first person was a wild mage who had not been trained by the Alliance, and he used the most ordinary chanting method.

MATTHEW LISTENED TO IT ONCE, AND IT WAS INDEED NOT GOOD, A BIT LIKE A THIRD-RATE RAPPER RAPPING.

The second person is a mage apprentice from a professional class, and he uses the "mechanical chanting method" that the alliance is currently promoting.

The characteristic of this chanting method is that it is not distinctive.

The whole process of the monk's chanting is without a little emotional ups and downs, which is a bit similar to the electronic synthesis sound.

The advantage of the mechanical chant method is that the specifications are uniform, the threshold is very low, and after forming a habit, it will be much faster to get started with new spells.

It was commonly used to train mage apprentices.

The third image is of Margaret herself.

As soon as she spoke, Matthew was shocked—

At first, a few sopranos were alone, and soon they fell down again.

Between the paragraphs, there is a clear distinction, sometimes like gurgling water, sometimes like stormy waves.

A small fireball spell, 18 syllables in total, 3 seconds long.

Matthew actually heard the feeling of opera!

"You can see how the magical elements around my body change as I chant."

Margaret shows a cross-sectioned diagram of the flow of magical elements.

"Surreel's chanting method can actively control the progress of spells, control the flow of magic and elements, and then make a spell cast more powerful.

But if it were just that, I wouldn't recommend it to you either.

Its greatest advantage is that it can be used to interrupt itself and perform a more advanced technique: "Spell Grafting". ”

said.

She also showed Matthew herself as she chanted another spell.

"Note that at the beginning I was chanting the standard fifth-order spell 'Xenomy', which took a long time, and even if I had cast support, it would take a full 13 seconds to complete the chant.

But here in the middle, you listen—"

Margaret said as she played the chant of the illusion.

In order to avoid Matthew not being able to hear, she also deliberately set 0.3 times the speed.

Matthew listened intently, and did hear a slightly abrupt exclamation in the other party's chant.

And with that syllable.

All the magic in her body went backwards.

This means that this spell was actively interrupted by her in the process of 1/2 of the way through the chant!

Followed by.

An even more bizarre scene appeared.

After the scream, Margaret's chant continued, and soon, 8 seconds later, she completed the spell.

It's just a spell that summons otherworldly creatures from a "xenosexual gate" on a large scale.

It has become a "10,000 arrows piercing the heart" that summons a large number of arrows to physically pierce and throw at the target area.

Matthew was cold behind him.

If her opponent uses "Spell Knowledge" at this time and judges that she is using the Gate of Xenomorphism, then there is a high probability that the opponent's response will not be able to withstand ten thousand arrows piercing the heart!

Margaret looked at Matthew earnestly:

"Clever you, you should realize how powerful this chanting method is at this moment, right?

Not to mention the spell kick effect that this type of channeling has.

"Screaming Bliss" allows you to interrupt a spell at any time without more than 2/3 of your channeling progress;

And "Spell Grafting" can be secretly and conditionally replaced with another spell.

Learned the Surrell chanting method.

You have the absolute opportunity to face off against the mage!

Right now.

Sing with me.

Yes~~~! ”

Matthew subconsciously opened his mouth:

"Ah~~!"

"No, look at my mouth!"

Margaret corrected:

"Also keep an eye on my chest, and with the Surrell chanting method, you have to master abdominal breathing."

"Come, open your mouth with me—"

"Ah~~~!"

Matthew followed her with her head up, chest and abdomen:

"Ah~~~!"

Margaret pointed earnestly:

"Yes, it's not."

"Now it's right."

"No, no, no."

"That's half right."

Soon.

There was only one "ahhhh
