Chapter 304: The Way Home 2
This pendant is made of some kind of bronze metal that Geer does not know, and it can even be said that it is a little fine in terms of workmanship, and each part is inlaid with tiny runes like patterns, which looks dense and exquisite, and is also inlaid with broken diamonds in the edge area, which looks more like a well-made handicraft.
Magical items don't just look at their appearance to know what kind of spell is placed inside, so it needs to be further analyzed.
Gehr pressed his fingertips on the pendant, concentrating his spirit into tentacles that did not exist in reality, and carefully stretched out to the inside of the pendant to feel the complex runes, models and derived powers contained in it.
This pendant is not a high-grade product, Gehr quickly analyzed it, the spell inside is a gravity technique, after using it once, it needs to be naturally charged for three days, and the effect is to form an indiscriminate gravitational force field with the carrier as the center and a radius of ten meters, causing the effect of bearing gravity to five to ten times the original for all people within the force field, and the duration is half a minute.
Knowing this, Gehr understood why Garton was so close at that time.
Just looking at this, this magic item can be said to be a very rare boutique dedicated to close group control, but the problem is that its object of action also includes the bearer, and it is also not immune, which makes the use of this magic item very limited.
You must know that even if the wizards' bodies are strengthened, they do not rely exclusively on physical and melee combat, but spells and long-range combat are their most powerful weapons. Instead, most of the enemies they face are known for their excellent physique and ferocious melee attacks, such as Patrons, Mutants, and Monsters. If you encounter such an opponent, you can also activate the spell in this magic item. The result is likely to be that the opponent may simply feel uncomfortable after being affected by the spell, but still barely able to move. But the apprentice who used this magic item couldn't just lie on the ground and couldn't move, which was very embarrassing.
Therefore, this kind of magic item is generally only used in battles between fellow wizard apprentices, to play the effect of redeeming the child, just like Gardon, who is ready to sacrifice his own mobility to drag Gehr to be temporarily suppressed by the gravitational force field, and then the extra companions on his side can completely control the situation.
Overall, this type of magic item can only be said to be somewhat unsatisfactory, but it has special effects at certain times.
But this assessment was made on the basis of the value shown in the hands of an apprentice like Garden, and now it is in the hands of Gehr. Then the situation is reversed. Now his comprehensive physical attributes can be said to be the existence of crushing others among apprentices, which is enough to fully exert the best control effect of this magic item, coupled with the low mental attributes required to wear this magic item, it is really suitable for him.
The original name of this magic item was unknown, so he simply named it according to its ability and called it the Gravity Necklace.
(Magic items are not something that can be activated at any time with the body, and the carrier must adjust the energy fluctuations in the magic item with his own mental frequency to connect the two together, so as to achieve the effect of using spell phrases to quickly activate the spells in the magic item during battle.)
can be connected together. It will occupy a part of the spiritual attribute value of the carrier, and the specific value is determined according to the complexity of the structure of the magic item, the type of spell, the power, etc., and the stronger the magic item, the higher the spiritual attribute occupied, for example, Gehr's spiritual attribute is more than 7 points. The Gale Arm Ring needs to occupy 1 point of his spiritual attribute, resulting in the actual value of his spiritual attribute being more than 6 points, while the current gravity necklace only needs 0.1 spiritual attribute. There is little burden on him. Therefore, the number of magical items that a wizard can carry is very limited, and it is not necessary to bring as many magic items as he wants. It's best to design the best combination of magic items that suits you as much as possible. )
......
The night passed peacefully.
Gehr set out early the next morning and continued on his way.
It's not a short distance between the town and the canyon. Moreover, it was a large area of mountain forest, and no one lived in the area, so it was almost impossible to get supplies on this road, so when Gehr had eaten all the dry food he had been carrying two days later, he had to start thinking of another way.
When you are hungry, you can play some prey barbecue, and when you are thirsty, you can endure for a while, and you can replenish the water after encountering water sources such as streams and pools.
Fortunately, this life did not last too long, and when he walked out of the forest six days later and saw the town as his destination, he only seemed a little embarrassed, not yet a wild man.
Behind the dilapidated wooden plaque engraved with the words "Semar Town" is a very deserted and remote town.
There is only one street in the town, and there are more than a dozen houses made of rough wood on both sides, which is all the buildings in the town. From the end of the town, you can see the end of the town at a glance, and it is estimated that the permanent population is only about 100 people at most, and if it were not for the dilapidated terminal tower standing on the edge of the town, this place would not look much better than a village.
On the side of the dirty gray dirt road, a few children who are also dirty are playing, but it brings a lot of life to the town.
Gehr walked down the street, and the children just looked at him curiously, and then stopped paying attention to him, and it seemed that Gehr was not too conspicuous here.
He threw the half of the wolf carcass he was carrying on his shoulders to the children on the street, it was the prey that Gehr had just caught half a day ago, and he had eaten half of it at that time, and the rest seemed to be useless, so he simply gave it to these children.
Immediately after receiving the wolf's corpse, the children happily showed him the way, and pointed him to the only inn in the town.
As instructed, Gehr came to the end of the town, on the right side of the street, where there was a small three-story building made of gray bricks, which stood out against the other reddish-brown rough wood buildings on the street.
There was also a wooden fence in front of the small brick building, and in front of the small building there was an open space with several thick wooden stakes inserted into it, on which several horses were tethered, leisurely eating the fodder in front of them, and behind them were three carriages, the same ones that had brought them from the town to the canyon.
Gehr stepped forward, looked at the wooden sign hanging on the fence door with two crooked characters on it, and pulled the fence door open, and the wind chimes hanging on it suddenly played a brisk sound, informing the owner that a guest had come to the door.
Just as Gehr walked through the clearing, a middle-aged man also happened to come out of the building and greeted Gehr.
"Welcome, I'm Nevin, the owner of this inn, you're here to stay, right?" said the middle-aged man loudly.
"Hmm. Gell nodded, looking at the man in front of him. Gray linen shirt, slightly chubby, with short brown-red hair, a somewhat greasy face full of smiles, quite the demeanor of a qualified innkeeper.
"Let's go in first. Ne smiled enthusiastically and beckoned Gehr into the room.
Gehr was not polite, and strode into the first floor of the hotel.
The living room on the first floor is not very large, and there are five log tables, which are divided quite in the middle, leaving a passage that can be passed.
Four of the five tables were now empty, and two men sat at one table against the left wall, one of whom Gel happened to know, the apprentice Grull who had been in the same carriage with him when he came.
At this time, Grull also saw Gehr, and the two nodded to each other, not wanting to communicate anything, and just passed by.
Gehr followed the innkeeper on his way, and went up the stairs to the second floor, where he came to the second room on the left, and walked in after the innkeeper had opened the door.
There is nothing in the room except for the bed and wooden table, but fortunately it is clean, but there is a faint smell of dust in the air, and it seems that there are not many people living here.
After collecting the money paid by Gehr, the innkeeper went downstairs happily. In a short time, a chubby cook brought a plate of food, all black bread, jerky, and wild vegetable soup, but fortunately it was very hot, and in this environment, it could not be asked for more.
After eating, Gehr was about to lie down on the bed for a while, when there was a knock on the door of his room.
Gehr walked to the door and gently opened the door, and there was a man standing in the hallway outside the door, it was Grull.
The two stood at the door and communicated, and then separated, and it took less than five minutes in total.
Grull had come to ask if anything had happened to their apprentices since they had left, as Luke was expected to be back two days ago, and they hadn't waited yet.
Gehr just excused himself by saying that when he left, Luke's men were still in the library, and he didn't see the two wizards, and that he didn't see the carriage outside the canyon, so he walked straight back.
In fact, Grull was not particularly interested in Luke's news, this inquiry was more like a routine, and after listening to Gehr's answer, he didn't ask any more, and then asked Gehr if he would like to stay and go with them to collect materials.
It turns out that although this town has a terminal tower, only once every six months does the airship come here to transport all kinds of materials accumulated by the townspeople in half a year, and bring all kinds of daily necessities, as for the rest of the time, the airship will not come to this remote place at all, and the last time they followed Luke to take such an airship, that is to say, if you want to wait until the next airship comes, you will have to wait for another half a year.
In response to this situation, these apprentices simply decided to stay, taking the opportunity to collect various special spell casting materials in the surrounding mountains and forests, and they could also exchange and learn from each other in their spare time, until the next airship came, so that they would not waste time on the journey.
Now, except for the two Grull who stayed at the inn, the rest of the apprentices have been on their way for several days. (To be continued......)
