Age of Adepts

Chapter 42: Defensive sorcery

Views:

Seven hours later, when Greem rushed back to his residence excitedly, an apprentice wizard was waiting here.

What Greem didn't expect was that after posting the sale information, the first person to visit was actually Amn who managed the witchcraft practice room. Although Greem was more of a loner, he had also heard that this Amn hadn't been squeezed into the list of ten people who stayed behind in the Swamp Tower.

This also means that, as an intermediate apprentice, Amn also needs to immediately bear the risks brought about by the mandatory task.

"I heard that you have live eggs of marsh monitor lizards here?" Amn didn't hide his purpose as soon as they met. Time is running out, and all middle and low-level apprentices with a sense of crisis are racing against time to enrich and strengthen themselves. Those props, witches, potions, and scrolls that are helpful for small-scale battles between apprentices are all rising, and the price is so expensive that everyone feels pain.

Otherwise, Greem wouldn't almost go bankrupt just because he bought some disposable spider web accessories.

But it's not all bad.

In the item information on Danny's list, Greem saw a lot of rare materials that he would never see. These things must be the bottom of the box in the hands of the tower apprentices, and many of them are future advanced materials they have prepared for themselves.

It's a pity... When the mandatory task that can determine their life and death comes before them, they can only give up the future and sell these things in exchange for items that can instantly enhance their personal combat power.

Greem politely let Amn into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Amn could smell the strong smell of blood and the pungent smell of embalming solution. And in a corner of the room, there are large and small glassware piled up, and the light green solution is soaked with monster organs of various shapes. Heart, stomach sac, brain, eyeballs... Many organs still have traces of blood overflowing, and they look like fresh goods that have just been picked and harvested.

croak...

There was a burst of excited frogs, and Amn's companion beast of the poison dart frog suddenly appeared on his shoulder, yelling at the materials manically. When Amn tried to calm it down, it crawled next to Amn's ear and whispered softly.

"It seems that you have obtained some fresh materials. How about selling them to me?" Amn almost impatiently made his request.

"These are the materials picked from the giant crocodile king in the swamp. I think those guys who are eager to improve their strength will not mind transplanting the heart of the giant crocodile king to themselves. If you want to buy them, you have to estimate the value!" Greem calmly reminded.

During this special period, any item that can improve individual combat power can no longer be traded at the usual price. As for how much the price overflows, it is also proportional to the quality of the item and the urgency of the buyer. Therefore, facing an item that you need urgently, everyone must be mentally prepared to go bankrupt.

"Swamp giant crocodile king? That's even better!" After hearing this, Amu felt even more tormented, but immediately he looked at Greem suspiciously: "Now you have the ability to hunt swamp giant crocodile king?"

Greem shook his head lightly, and pointed to the next door with his finger.

Amn nodded suddenly.

A junior apprentice who challenged the giant crocodile king was purely looking for death, but it would be hard to say if it was replaced by a senior apprentice with the identity of a vampire. Although there are still some doubts, it is not completely unacceptable.

In the following time, the two apprentices hid in the house and started a tug-of-war bargaining. Although one of them was eager to buy and the other was eager to sell, neither of them was willing to give in easily on the price. Finally, after 2 hours of difficult negotiations, Greem sold all the active materials at the price of 17 knowledge points, 3 magic crystals, 1 screaming branch, and 1 bottle of invisibility potion (weaker effect).

As for the back scale armor, fangs, and sharp claws of the giant crocodile king, Amn was not interested, but he could consider selling them to some apprentices who were going to take the route of a body-training wizard.

If it wasn't for the rush of time, Greem actually planned to pull out the spine and long tendons of the giant crocodile king. Those are the most sought-after materials among melee apprentices. But time is too late. Even if he rushed back now, the giant crocodile king's bones would have already been eaten by his own kind.

After Amu moved all these materials away several times, Greem immediately rushed to the library with these knowledge points that were not warmed up yet.

This time, he came here specifically for those fire-type defensive witchcraft.

High-temperature force field, the primary defensive witchcraft of the fire system, forms a high-temperature force field around the body, forming a high-temperature baking for enemies entering the range, causing rapid water loss. Range of action: 10 meters. (Note: This is the pre-sorcery of the late flame enchantment defense sorcery.)

Flame Shock, the primary defensive witchcraft of the fire system, lays out fast-moving elemental nodes around you, and any enemy that touches the elemental nodes will suffer 3-5 points of flame shock. Range of action: 8 meters. Number of element nodes: 17.

Body bathed in fire, a primary defensive witchcraft of the fire system, temporarily elementalizes part of the body to avoid fatal attacks and greatly increases the fire resistance of the caster. Range of action: 0 meters. (Note: This is the pre-sorcery of the later fire element transformation.)

Flame shield, a primary defensive witchcraft of the fire system, forms a small flame shield in front of the body, which can block most long-range witchcraft and melee attacks, and close enemies who attack the shield will suffer 1-2 points of fire damage. Range of action: 3 meters. Defense: 35 points. (Note: This is a late-stage flame shield pre-sorcery.)

Flame Shield, an intermediate fire-type defensive witchcraft, forms a three-sided rotating flame shield on the side, which can block all long-range and melee attacks before the shield is broken. Close enemies need to bear 3-5 points of fire damage. Range of action: 5 meters. Defense: 80 points. (Note: Fire Shield is required as a pre-sorcery.)

Fire Barrier, an intermediate defensive witchcraft of the fire system, uses a large number of fire element nodes to lay a flame barrier around the body, any enemy who steps into the flame barrier will suffer 3-7 points of fire damage per second. Range of action: 15 meters. (Note: High temperature force field is required as a pre-sorcery.)

Greem also faced a difficult choice with Ling Lang's full range of fire-type defensive witchcraft. Each of these defensive witchcraft has its own advantages and disadvantages, so if you want to choose the one that suits you, you really need to carefully identify their differences.

Moreover, most defensive witchcrafts appear systematically, and some intermediate and advanced defensive witchcrafts require some elementary defensive witchcrafts as pre-requisite abilities before they can continue to learn. Once the previous path is wrong, it will take more energy and time to correct it later.

Greem briefly analyzed it.

The high-temperature force field and the flame enchantment are a system, and both are a field-controlling enchantment witchcraft. It doesn't have physical personal protection, so it doesn't have any protective effect against the enemy's long-range attacks. But in the face of a large number of melee attacks from enemies, its field control effect is extremely significant.

Especially the 5-7 points of fire damage per second of the flame enchantment in the later stage is definitely an unbearable pain for some enemies who only have melee capabilities. As far as Greem is concerned, his vitality is only 14 points so far. If one is shrouded in such a flame enchantment, one will be burnt to charcoal within 3 seconds and die.

And what can he do in just 3 seconds? If it wasn't for solidifying some witchcraft, Greem would have been burned to death without even being able to release a decent witchcraft.

It is conceivable that a quasi-shaman with a flame enchantment suddenly appeared in the middle of a group of middle and junior apprentices. The scene of howling ghosts and howling wolves couldn't be more perfect! He doesn't even need to do anything, just the fire damage inside the enchantment can burn to death groups of rookies who don't meet the fire resistance standard.

Greem couldn't help trembling every time he thought of that exciting scene. But when he thought that the flame enchantment could not stop the enemy's attack, he felt extremely painful!

In contrast, the Fire Shield and Flame Shield series are much more low-key.

Condensed into a shield form with rich fire elements like substance, lingering around the body to protect against possible witchcraft and melee attacks. If there is an enemy who dares to get close, before the shield is broken, it can also give the opponent not weak fire damage.

Generally speaking, the group damage ability is not obvious, but the individual protection effect is excellent.

Therefore, it was no surprise that Greem chose to borrow the two witchcraft books, Flame Shield and Flame Shield.

Here, it takes 15 knowledge points to buy the next witchcraft book of flame shield, and only 3 points to borrow it once. Therefore, most apprentices would rather borrow a few more books and copy them slowly, rather than buying books with so many knowledge points.

At this time, the strength of the chip capability is also reflected.

It only needs to be borrowed once, and Greem can store all the information in the book through the chip scan, and then slowly comprehend the experience, which can save a lot of knowledge points and borrow more books.

Moreover, defensive witchcraft cannot be learned simply, and requires the borrowing of a large amount of pre-disciplinary knowledge, so Greem gritted his teeth and borrowed them all in one go.

"The Influence of Fire Elemental Density on the Effects of Witchcraft"

"Elementary Flame Manipulation Skills"

"Anatomy of the use of flame shield"

"Elemental Properties of Distributed Flame"

Holding a large pile of borrowed books, Greem hurried back to his residence. But as soon as they got to the door, the wooden door next door opened with a creak, and Mary's pretty and cold face was poked out.

"where is my present?"

"Gah..."

Greem froze on the spot.

I was only busy with my summoning crystal nucleus before, but I forgot about it!

Seeing the gloomy little face, Mary who was about to go berserk, Greem hurriedly yelled.

"One hour...another hour. Presents will be ready soon!"

After saying that, he rushed into the residence in a hurry.
