Chapter Eighty-Three: The Magician
Taking two steps forward and crossing the coffee table, Crane moved his body and shook his wrist, but no more anomalies were noticed.
He looked out the bulging belly window at the dim and gloomy gas lamp, and muttered to himself thoughtfully:
"My hands are more dexterous and my movements are more agile, and even if I don't have extraordinary abilities, as long as I study hard, I can become a top magician. ”
This was his first impression of the changes in himself.
And as recorded in the internal information of the Night Watcher, if the potion will provide a certain magical ability, then after taking it, the Extraordinary One itself will be aware of it and grasp what it is, just like the corresponding knowledge is instilled into the mind through a mysterious way and rubbed into the spirit.
"I almost burst my head just now......" Crane smiled and shook his head, carefully recalling his previous feelings and corresponding spells.
I have to say that "Magician" is indeed a powerful sequence 7, with a lot of magical abilities, and they can all be used quickly.
Among them, there are three that Klein values and likes the most.
At the top of the list is, "damage transfer"!
As long as he does not die directly, as long as his hands can still move, he can transfer the wound in the critical position to the less important place such as the arm, turning the fatal injury into a minor injury, which is a very useful extraordinary ability to save his life in actual combat.
The only problem is that at this stage of Sequence 7, the wound can only be transferred to oneself, and there is only one chance, perhaps as the sequence itself progresses, it can also be transferred to the object to someone else...... There's really a sense of magic...... Klein imagined the future for a moment.
The second spell is "Flame Jump", within thirty meters, he can flash between the fire he left behind and the original flame, similar to teleportation, which seems to have the special use of the spirit world.
Well, it can be used very well to perform magic tricks...... Klein laughed at himself with great satisfaction.
What's more, as he digests potions, the range of the "Flame Jump" will increase significantly as his sequence increases.
The third type of spell is the "air bomb" that Crane had seen at the tuxedo clown in the Order.
The "magician" can snap his fingers, simulate sound, etc., to create air bullets that are no less powerful and faster than the bullets fired from a special revolver, and its effect will also follow the progress of the digestion of the potion and the development of its own sequence, Klein suspects that in Sequence 5, or Sequence 4, he can rub the cannonball by hand.
"In this way, I don't need to buy a pistol and bullets anymore, no, I still have to buy another one, many things, there is no need to expose my extraordinary ability, and the problems that can be solved with a gun are not a problem. Crane nodded imperceptibly, and turned to look at other spells and spell-like abilities.
The fourth is the "Paper Man Double", at a critical moment, the magician can briefly turn the paper figure he is carrying into himself and switch positions with himself, which is a relatively simple stand-in spell that can not only block the critical blow, but also effectively weaken the curse damage.
It turns out that this is the role of those paper figures carried by the "secret puppet master" Rosago...... He must be sorry, because he is polluted by the "real creator", and there is no way to use a stand-in...... The biggest problem with this spell is that it needs to prepare materials in advance, that is, relatively delicately cut paper figures, in the early Fifth Age, extraordinary people with similar items would undoubtedly be considered dark wizards, and now if discovered, they will most likely be suspected...... Klein pondered the usefulness and limitations of the "paper man double".
The fifth is a spell-like ability, called "manipulating flames", as the name suggests, it can manipulate the flames within a range of 30 meters through a simple action, and can also directly ignite certain items in this range, and when the potion is completely digested or the sequence is promoted, it can also "summon" the flame stream out of thin air.
The sixth is "illusion creation", which creates an almost real illusion with colors, sounds, and smells by influencing the surrounding environment, so as to deceive the enemy with the illusion of reality.
This is a magician's skill...... Crane chuckled and walked over to the bay window, admiring the night view of the street.
The seventh is the false "underwater breathing", which works by creating an invisible, invisible tube of air that allows the magician to breathe freely, as if he or she had become a so-called fish-man.
The problem is that there is a limit to the length of the thin air tube, and at this stage Klein can maintain a state of about five meters at most, that is, once the water depth exceeds five meters, he may drown.
Of course, the digestion of potions and the improvement of the sequence will bring about the growth of the essence of the air tubes.
The eighth is the spell-like ability "Bone Softening", which helps the "Magician" break free from handcuffs, ropes, and chests.
It's also a housekeeping skill!, Klein thought in a good mood.
The ninth is the evolution of the Joker's ability to turn paper into throwing knives, called "Drawing Paper as a Soldier", which can not only turn paper into sharp objects, but also briefly turn it into weapons such as clubs and bricks.
This is the main nine spells or spell-like abilities of the "magician", although there is no type that is particularly strong in attack and defense, and there is a lack of enough weird types, but it is magical and diverse, which makes Klein's strength instantly rise to more than one level, and he is even better at saving his life and escaping.
Moreover, the "magician" has the ability to cast spells quickly, and the extraordinary person of this sequence does not need to chant spells, does not need to be infused with spirituality, and can cast the corresponding spell or spell-like ability with just a simple action.
In addition to this, the potions also allowed Crane to get some minor tricks, but none of them were of much utility.
"It's barely a good extraordinary...... Klein sighed silently.
Just as he was about to go out for a stroll, stop by the brave bar and make up for the revolver and bullets, the crimson moonlight rendered by the light of the gas street lamp outside the convex belly window suddenly darkened and thickened!
Crane looked up in amazement, and found that the clouds and mist in the sky had dissipated, and the red moon, which was more than a semicircle, was clearly revealed.
Its silhouette was so fast and plump that in just a second or two it turned into a full moon, a full moon as red as blood!
And that's just over two weeks since the last Full Moon!
According to the normal calendar, according to the content of astronomy, the next full moon is about ten days away!
Is this a "blood moon"?, Klein's lips moved slightly, and he muttered to himself with some relief.
- In this world, the changes of the moon are regular and irregular.
Normally, it's exactly the same as Klein's previous life, but there are always a few times a year, and it suddenly turns round and red like blood, and there is no logic in similar situations, sometimes, only once a year, and sometimes, four or five times a year.
Neither astronomers nor occultists can explain this phenomenon, and they cannot summarize the law at all, so they can only ignore this problem for the time being, regard it as one of the difficulties, and jokingly say that maybe it is just that the goddess is suddenly in a bad mood, and the mood changes of women are undoubtedly irregular.
Of course, not knowing the cause, not knowing the essence, does not mean that there is no summary of the corresponding phenomenon, in the occult, this situation is called a "blood moon", it is believed that it will bring about the rise and explosion of negative emotions, it is believed that it will make the power of the underworld and the spirit world stronger, and the deceased may crawl out of the grave even if they are not awakened.
"This is the second time this year, right?" Klein felt like he was in good shape as he stood by the bay window, admiring the clear sky and the full moon that was bright red in the shape of a disc.
............
Inside a house in the Joewood district.
Twenty-five Falth Wall, who had not had time to return to his two-bedroom room in St. George's Quarter, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, munching on a new bread with meat and vegetables, and thinking about the next book with his head over.
Suddenly, she frowned and threw away the food and pen in her hand.
The moonlight shining in outside the window grew thicker and redder, and Forthth's expression became more and more painful.
Every time the moon is full, she hears that crazy whisper!
Thump!
She fell off the couch, her body twisting and struggling there.
After a while, she brushed the floor and scratched a large handful of hair, but the pain did not relieve her symptoms as if her head was about to explode, nor did it calm her restlessness that wanted to end her life with a single stab.
"Again...... Firth whispered in pain, his legs twitching and straightening.
With great difficulty, she recited the name of the god she believed in, hoping for salvation:
"Great, steam, and ...... with the god of machines"
"You are the essence, the incarnate ......"
"You are an artisan, protector ......"
"You are the brilliance of technology, the brilliance ......"
Over and over again, Firth's pain never diminished, but became more and more intense.
Bang!
She tumbled violently and accidentally knocked over the coffee table, scattering the books on the ground.
Firth, who could no longer bear it, frantically scratched the wooden legs of the coffee table with his fingernails, scratching one deep mark after another, and scratching out a creaking sound that made people's teeth ache.
Syllable!
Her nails were snapped!
Her hair is weirdly getting longer!
At this moment, Firth felt that she was going to lose control tonight, that she would become a monster, and that she had just recited the names of several gods, but none of them had been saved.
"I'm going to die...... I'm going to die......" She twisted and rolled as she suddenly saw a piece of paper with words written in Ancient Hermes.
It was a mysterious spell that Hugh had discovered from the History of the Nobles of the Kingdom of Rune!
Her silent thoughts even provoked the existence of suspected evil spirits!
Even if the evil spirits ...... Help me if you can...... I'm willing to accept it...... The thought crossed Forth's mind clearly.
She struggled to look over, and whispered with all her strength:
"Not of this age, fool ......"
"Above the Grey Mist, the Mysterious Domination ......"
"Reign, good luck, King of Yellow and Black......"
"Help me, save me......"
