After full consideration, Noren quickly settled on the design concept of Valkyrie's new equipment -

It's lightweight, nimble, and maximizes the White Raven's melee bursts.

In fact, Valkyrie's equipment has been evolving in the direction of complexity and large-scale all along.

This is also a matter of course, in order to shoot high-muzzle velocity and high-power shells, the structure of the magic cannon will evolve more and more complex.

And as the level of spells continues to increase, the volume of the magic circle projected on the alchemy weapon will inevitably become larger and larger.

Today, the smoothbore sniper cannon Gungnir is two meters long, and the glass shield equipped with two seventh-order spells is two circles larger than a normal arm shield, which is almost the limit size of a single combat weapon.

The use of these large individual combat weapons will also affect the White Raven's mobility and melee ability.

So this time he was ready to make a bold innovation: he wanted to reduce the burden on Valkyrie's new equipment.

The new Valkyrie gear will consist of just a few simple, close-fitting parts, all of which will be used to enhance the White Raven's melee abilities.

For example, an automatic injection device is set up in her shoulder armor.

After activating the mechanism with the psychic pathway, the device will immediately inject a body-strengthening liberation potion into the white raven's arm in the form of a intramuscular injection.

And at the end of the effect of the liberation agent, it is injected with a suppressant in the same way.

The device was inspired by the Plate Knight's backpack, which Srock used to allow his test subjects to quickly dispense in battle.

The structure of this device is not complicated, the only difficulty is to adjust the formula of the drug, and the composition of the oral drug is still different from the injection drug.

However, this point can be optimized with one click of the book of omniscience.

In the time between his hunt for the Radiant Dragon and his visit to Flamel, he had recorded a number of high-level spells and various alchemy items.

The All-Knowing Book has stored nearly a thousand knowledge points, and he has never fought such a rich battle.

If you don't spend it now, when will you wait?

Nolan's mind moved, and the book of omniscience turned to the page of the Elixir of Liberation.

With the silent "Optimization", after spending 64 knowledge points, a new flask recipe is unlocked:

"Liberation Drug: Injection Type" / "Inhibitor Drug: Injection Type"

It is suitable for intramuscular injection, and has higher efficacy and faster effect.

"It's finished."

Nolan jot down the new recipe while his consciousness didn't leave the page.

When it comes to how to improve the strength of knights, it is one thing to improve physical fitness with potions, and it is also one thing to strengthen the means of attack with combat skills.

Combat skills are to knights in a sense similar to spells to mages, but they are not identical.

There are many types of spells, they are hugely powerful, and they are almost all of a mage's means of casting power.

Without it, a mage would be almost like cutting off his own hands.

And the knight actually doesn't particularly rely on combat skills, this tempered body is his biggest capital, and combat skills are just the icing on the cake for their attack.

In essence, combat skills are also a type of flesh and blood spells, and knights can deal more powerful damage than ordinary attacks by using combat skills to deploy flesh energy in their bodies and change the way their bodies exert their power.

However, in the end, a combat skill is only an attack technique.

Although all combat skills are classified as flesh spells, the skills that suit the knights are also different depending on their combat style.

It's similar to how an elemental mage can only cast the corresponding elemental spells.

If a knight who is good at guerrilla is allowed to learn the frontal attack type of combat skills, although it will not be completely impossible to learn.

But in actual combat, it is difficult to say how much of a role it can play.

What's more, it may also lead to the failure of the skill release.

This is not uncommon, when Yuna first got her prosthetic leg, she tried a derby with Harrison's henchman Leo to test the medicine.

During the battle, she used the Knights of Linfeng's combat skill "Rock Avalanche Sword", which requires a high level of physical fitness and stability of the warrior.

But because her physical fitness was no longer suitable for using this move at that time, this combat skill failed in the end.

Now, although she has sound legs again, Nolan still doesn't want her to continue practicing the Knights' combat skills.

The Knights' combat skills are mostly based on frontal attacks, and Yuna's body is not burly, and pure strength is not her strong point.

They are both sixth-order knights, and their physical fitness is also different, just like the plate knight is strong and strong enough to be two meters tall, even if he does not undergo physical transformation, Yuna will definitely not be able to wrestle his wrist.

"She's the right fit...... It should be a speed-oriented, explosive combat skill. ”

Nolan quickly made the decision to ask the All-Knowing Book of Questions.

"I need some high-level combat skills that a sixth-order knight can perform, and these combat skills should be known for their bursts and speed, and they can be adapted to different combat scenarios."

In the end, he was afraid that this request was still a bit general, and added, "The upper limit of these combat skills should be higher, even if the strength becomes stronger in the future, they can still be useful." ”

A purely enhanced single-attack technique like the "Rock Avalanche Sword" has a strong substitution.

After a knight is promoted to a higher level, he often only needs to learn higher-level attack skills, and low-level attack skills will not continue to be used soon.

In this way, in the long run, it is not cost-effective to study it.

After all, unlike the magic guide that can cast spells by injecting magic power, combat skills cannot be quickly cast through the magic circle, and it requires the knight himself to invest time and cost to learn.

Time is money, and seeing that he has a thousand knowledge points in his hand, this can't be said without giving Yuna a little bit of powerful combat skills.

Here, the All-Knowing Book received his request, and the pages began to flip rapidly.

Like a black hole, a large number of knowledge points turned into starlight and rolled into brand new pages, and the consumption actually reached more than 500 points in an instant!

"This ...... Got a bug? ”

Feeling this extraordinary consumption of knowledge points, Nolan's calm and calm expression slowly froze.

His mind quickly passed through his request, and he soon found that his wording seemed ambiguous.

"I need some high-level combat skills that the sixth-order knights can use", he thought at that time to prepare several different combat skills for Yuna to deal with different battle scenarios.

But he had a brain twitch for a while, and he didn't give the specific number of combat skills needed......

Damn, this stupid book can't detect that he has enough knowledge points and squander all his reserves, right?

At this time, the Book of All-Knowing and All-Knowing shone brightly, devouring his stored knowledge points to his heart's content, and seeing that the situation was irreparable, Nolan's eyes became desperate.

Stop, once back to the pre-liberation period......

Don't do this kind of thing!

As if hearing his cries, the Book of All-Knowing Know-It-All finally stopped absorbing any further.

But it was too late, and his knowledge margin had plummeted from nearly a thousand points to less than two hundred.

"You see my face is calm, it's not painful at all......" Nolan twitched the corners of his mouth.

It took more than 700 knowledge points to ask a question, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He also blamed himself for his mistakes, and now he could only pray that these expensive combat skills were really worth the money.

He took a deep breath and stared intently at the Book of Omniscience, the details of the two combat skills popping onto the page.

"Magic Burning", a sixth-order combat skill.

Consume a large amount of mana to stimulate flesh and blood energy, and enhance the user's physical fitness in a short time.

[Divine Speed Secret Sword Post], a seventh-order combat skill.

The "Divine Speed" secret sword technique, which is famous for its high-speed sword slash, summarizes a full set of "Divine Speed" series of combat skills in the sword post:

First Secret Sword: "Shadow Chasing Sword"

Second Secret Sword: "Mirage Sword"

Third Secret Sword: "Cloud Weaving Sword"

Fourth Secret Sword: "Lightchaser"

I see, it's actually a total of five skills.

The effect of "Mana Burning" is easy to understand, and this kind of BUFF skill does have a high ceiling, which is different from pure attack skills, and has a strong irreplaceability.

However, according to past experience, obtaining a sixth-order combat skill is about 128 knowledge points.

It seems that the bulk of the consumption is still on the "Divine Speed Secret Sword Post".

The Divine Speed Secret Sword Post records a total of four different combat skills, and according to the introduction, the strength and attack methods of these four combat skills are different.

Cultivators will start practicing with the first secret sword, and after completing the study, they can cultivate the next secret sword, and eventually master the strongest fourth secret sword.

At the same time, the use of combat skills also requires the cultivator's extraordinary cultivation.

For example, the minimum threshold for casting the first secret sword "Shadow Chasing Sword" is that cultivators need to reach at least fifth-order strength.

Then, the second secret sword [Mirage Sword] requires sixth-order strength, and the third secret sword [Cloud Weaving Sword] requires seventh-order strength......

Noren looked at the sword skills in the sword post one by one, and when he turned to the final "Light Chaser", he found that its mantra and introduction page were actually blank!

In other words, he consumed more than 700 knowledge points, but still failed to unlock all the combat skills in the secret sword post?

Nolan rubbed his face helplessly, it seemed that this knowledge point was even more useless than he imagined.

After silently calculating in his heart, he soon discovered that there were more knowledge points needed to obtain spells and combat skills above the seventh order.

As before, observing a fourth-order spell rewards 16 knowledge points, and it takes 32 to obtain.

Observing a fifth-order spell rewards 32 knowledge points, and 64 are required to obtain.

Observing a sixth-order spell rewards 64 knowledge points, and 128 are required to obtain.

The observation-to-exchange ratio is 1:2.

But now, observing a seventh-order spell rewards 130 knowledge points, and it takes 390 points to obtain.

The observation-to-exchange ratio becomes 1:3.

It is speculated that the fourth secret sword in the secret sword post "Light Chaser" is likely to be an eighth-order combat skill.

But he didn't know how many knowledge points he needed to unlock the eighth-order combat skill, and maybe the observation and exchange ratio would change again.

However, although I haven't been able to unlock all the contents of the Secret Sword post, it doesn't have any impact on Yuna at the moment.

The Fourth Secret Sword [Light Chaser] requires an eighth-order strength to be used, and no matter how talented Yuna is, she may not be able to reach this realm in a short period of time.

And by that time, I should have collected more knowledge points, and I didn't panic at all.

Consciousness detached from the Book of All-Knowing, and Nolan gasped slightly.

Although I didn't expect that the combat skills alone would consume most of my knowledge reserves, as long as I could effectively improve Yuna's strength, these investments would be worth it.

It's a pity that although he has also become a knight, because his cultivation is too low, he hasn't even reached the minimum threshold for cultivating these high-end combat skills.

However, he didn't have the talent or idea to refine on the path of cultivation.

As long as his physical fitness is strong enough to control alchemy weapons, it is enough-

Unlike Yuna, a high-ranking knight, if he wants to play a role in the battlefield, the strength of a low-level knight is simply not enough, and he must and can only rely on "external forces" to fight.

However, this does not mean that the ceiling of this road is not high.

When the technology tree of alchemy weapons is pushed to the extreme, it will be possible to fly large strategic weapons.

At that time, he would be very interested to know whether the ultimate form of the alchemy weapon was stronger, or the most powerful transcendent of the empire was more powerful?

Silently planning for the future, the convoy soon arrived at the border of Flammel.

Ryan had been waiting here for a long time with the Knights of Peak, and after handing over to the Knights of Flamel, they escorted the convoy to Peak.

In the evening, while the convoy was camping and resting, he also took the time to transcribe the magic burning and the secret sword mantra of the god speed, and secretly handed it to Yuna.

If Yuna asks about the origin of these skills, he will have an excuse, just say that they are secret skills that were traded from Flamael.

However, Yuna obviously won't dwell on this issue, in her eyes, Nolan is such a magical man who can do anything.

"I will definitely practice diligently!"

She carefully put away this mental mantra and responded seriously.

"Take it easy, I believe that with your talent, it won't be long to master them."

Nolan smiled, after all, she was the former head of the Knight Academy, "Then again, what is the quality of the knight's sword you use now?" ”

The knight's sword is a general term for "sword weapons made of knight's steel", and the quality of the knight's sword varies according to the fineness of the knight's steel.

"It's the knight's sword." Yuna replied.

It is said that it is a standard knight sword, but the Knights of Linfeng are the elite of the Linfeng army, and the quality of the standard weapons they are equipped with is quite good, enough to withstand the injection of magic below the seventh order.

But Noren wasn't just satisfied with that, as an alchemist who excelled at making weapons, he always had a special eye for it.

"Standard knight sword? It's too downgrade for you. ”

Noren smiled mysteriously, "When I get back to the city tomorrow, I'll get you a better weapon." ”

This time he went to Flamel to negotiate a big project, which can be described as a great achievement, and he had to ask Evelyn for some reward.

In that case, tell her to open the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion and let herself go inside......

Doesn't seem excessive, right?
