Chapter 37: The Spell-Casting Gesture
Leo nodded and jumped on the back of the Sara Spider, who then spewed out the silk and pulled the body into the flesh sac with Leo.
The moment he entered the meat sac, the fishy smell instantly increased many times, showing that the meat sac was the residence of the spider demons.
After entering the sac, the Sara Spider Demon under Leo retracted the silk and fixed the eight joints in the wall of the sac, crawling upwards.
After crawling upwards for nearly a hundred meters, the spider demon finally settled down at a sunken entrance.
Cleopatra: "Please enter, human, and welcome to my abode." ”
Leo quickly jumped off Sarah's back and walked in after Cleopatra.
The entrance is small, but the space inside is surprisingly large, showing the owner's lofty status in the spider devil's lair.
It can be seen that compared to humans, this is the home of spider demons.
It's just that the aesthetic concept and living habits of spider demons are completely different from those of humans, so the structure of the cave is not easy for Leo to accept.
Around the space covered by the flesh sac, there are protrusions of different sizes, and I don't know what they are used for. In the center, there is a reddish-brown pool, which emits an even stronger fishy smell.
As soon as she entered the place, Cleopatra walked straight out of the pool and rolled comfortably.
At this moment, the fishy smell boiled completely, almost making Leo vomit.
Casting the viscous liquid all over her body, Cleopatra finally came out of the pool and said, "Oh, it's a shame that you humans don't enjoy the full nourishment of the spider fluid. ”
"There's nothing to regret, we're different races. Leo said with a pinching of his nose.
"That's right. Cleopatra shook her body and let the disgusting liquid dry faster.
Leo couldn't stand the smell. Hurriedly said, "Now can we talk about your deal?"
"Yes, deals. Cleopatra stopped shaking and said, "I have a magic that I really like, but I can't cast it. If you can help me cast it successfully, then I will do my best to meet all your needs in addition to meeting the Mother Empress. ”
Leo sensed something was wrong. So instead of asking the other party what magic he wanted to cast, he asked, "What's wrong with the Mother?"
Cleopatra did not hide it, and replied directly: "It is too old, it is about to leave, and the original wisdom no longer exists." ”
Hearing this, Leo suddenly understood: "So you can convince it to want to see me?"
Cleopatra said, "Yes, it is very dependent on us Sindo now, because one of us will become the new Mother Emperor in the future. ”
Since this is the case. Leo was completely relieved, nodded and said, "Okay, I see, please tell me about your magic problem, why can't you cast it?"
"From the magic books I've got, this magic requires gestures. Cleopatra's voice was a little distressed, "But you can tell I can't make your human gestures. ”
"Gesture......" Leo patted his forehead. Before, he was completely shocked by the fact that the other party could cast spells. I forgot that there was such a thing as gestures.
Be aware that not all magic requires gestures though. But gestures are an essential part of the magic that is needed.
Through special gestures, the magic model is guided, so that the resonance between the model and the rules can be truly completed, so that the magic can take effect. These contents are produced after countless years of accumulated research. Leo had never thought about how to remove the spellcasting gesture. Because this is a very simple thing for him, there is really no need to do more.
After a moment's silence, Leo asked, "Which spell do you want to cast?"
"The hand of the mage. Cleopatra replied without thinking.
If there is any other magic, Leo may not have a deep grasp of it. But the magic of the mage's hand happened to be the first magic he learned after he came into contact with magic. Therefore, whether it is the principle of spellcasting or the structure of magic, he knows it very well.
According to Leo's understanding, although the structure of the mage's hand is simple, gestures are an essential part, and from the knowledge he has so far, it seems that no one has studied the gestures of the past to cast spells.
Unless......
Leo thought of a possibility, and that was to cast spells instantly.
Once a mage can cast an instant spell, not only spells, but also gestures can be omitted.
"What is your magic level?" Leo asked again.
If Cleopatra reaches its level, then you can teach it the technique of instantaneous healing. Or let it learn the "Variation System" specialization, and it will also be able to gain the subtraction of the cast gesture.
Cleopatra didn't know what Leo was thinking, and immediately replied, "By your standards, it's level 0, and I'm just beginning to learn magic. ”
"Okay...... Let me think about it. Leo suddenly looked helpless.
It seems that opportunistic shortcuts are impossible, and can only end up in the root cause.
As for the possible opportunities, Leo had two ideas.
The first is to do your own research and find a way to cast the mage's hand without gesturing.
The second idea is for Cleopatra to simulate human gestures by relying on her current body, so as to achieve a smooth spell cast.
After only a few moments, Leo gave up on the first idea. Because the hand of magic has existed for too many years, and has long been improved by countless mages, it is almost impossible to remove the gesture in a short period of time.
In this way, it seems that there is only one second way, and there is still a chance to succeed.
But looking at the other party's straight feet, Leo felt that his head was extremely big.
According to the current theory of magic, the part of the human thumb and index finger, known as the resonance area, is also the most important part of the spellcasting gesture.
Many spells require the finished magic model to vibrate, transmit the resulting magic fluctuations to the resonance area, and finally use specific gestures to resonate with the same plane as a medium.
And the Mage's Hand is very simple because the magic level is only level 0, as long as the thumb and index finger are at right angles, and the other three fingers are bent.
That is, if Cleopatra wants to cast the Mage's Hand, it must be able to do so.
"The question is, where is its resonance region?" Leo's gaze roamed back and forth over Cleopatra. (To be continued.) )
