Chapter 59: The Left Hand of God (Part 1)

Views:

[It’s the second year of junior high school. There will be another update in the middle of the night. Let’s continue voting!]

"Sir, the enemy has been discovered. Www,QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO,CoM" A soldier wearing Qin Yin standard armor reported to Baron Cook with a worried look on his face. He is the baron's personal bodyguard, and like Scarlett, he was chosen for the baron by His Majesty the Emperor.

"How many?" Baron Cook's eyes were bloodshot. He had only slept for two hours.

"No less than 50,000." The soldier's voice was trembling. He was even more horrified than he was now when he saw the scarecrow on the tower.

"What do the black puppets look like?" Baron Cook tried to calm down. The black puppets were not very powerful, but when there were too many of them, unless they were the heavy armored infantry of the empire, they would not be able to defeat them.

"It's the scarecrow."

call…

The baron and the soldier gasped simultaneously. I thought to myself, luckily it's not the legendary stone statue. The black puppets made by Scarecrow can also be killed by ordinary soldiers, but there are too many of them. There are only 600 soldiers in the castle, but the enemy is more than 50,000 black puppets.

"How many alchemical arrowheads have the mages made?"

"110,000..." the soldier replied. He himself didn't quite believe this number. In just one night, two poor mages of two levels produced 110,000 alchemical arrowheads.

"So many!" Baron Cook looked happy. If there were enough alchemical arrows, the number of black puppets would not be a problem.

"grown ups… "

"What?"

"They also consumed 6 level 5 magic cores and need to be reimbursed by you."

Baron Cook was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. It was impossible for a low-level mage to create so many alchemy arrows. It was inevitable to consume high-level magic cores to drive the formation. Six fifth-level magic cores would only cost 30,000 gold coins at most. 110,000 arrows, each averaged, is only a few silver coins.

"Sir..." the soldier called out uneasily.

"what else?"

"Also...it seems they damaged the equipment in the lab."

Baron Cook clenched his fist and damaged the Archmage's equipment? Immediately, the Baron said calmly: "None of you should say anything about this matter, I will handle it. Where is the magician?"

"The two master mages are very tired and are resting."

"Have the weapons been distributed?"

"It's all done."

"Let Stella direct the battle and you cooperate with her. I'm with Flamengo, don't worry about my safety."

The soldier hesitated for a moment and then took the order. The nine soldiers led by Scarlett are all swordsmen and are usually responsible for the safety of Baron Cook. However, he was also familiar with Flamingo. He was a great swordsman, at least a level 5 professional, much stronger than himself. The Baron was relatively safe with those mercenaries.

Saleen was not tired at all. Making low-level magic potions did not consume magic strings, but only consumed mental energy. He was full of energy and naturally recovered very quickly. After one night, Aini couldn't stand it anymore. If the materials for the magic flame potion hadn't been used up, Saleen would have continued working.

He was now covered in blood, soaking in a large wooden tub for bathing, and seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed. Nelise lay on the edge of the bucket boredly, flicking the petals in the water with her fingers.

Salin doesn't need to take a bath, he has level 0 magic - cleansing. However, he likes to practice in the water. When he is in the water, both the speed of magic completion and the recovery speed of the magic string will be much faster than usual.

For example, the mutated water pattern shield can be cast instantly in the water, that is, within two-sixtieths of a second, he can complete the three stages of magic preparation, completion and release. If you leave the water, the release speed of this magic will slow down hundreds of times.

Now there were twenty water-patterned shields next to Saleen. These water-patterned shields were compressed by him to an extremely small size, smaller than the size of the palm of his hand. This does not reduce the consumption ratio of magic strings. In fact, Saleen only has one magic string left at the moment and can cast up to 3 first-level magics.

Saleen is practicing the movement of the Water Pattern Shield. He discovered that the core part of the Water Pattern Shield had the strongest defense, while the surrounding areas were the weakest. But this situation does not exist with the mutated water pattern shield. The defense power of any point of the water pattern shield wrapped in bubbles is the same.

The only flaw of the Water Pattern Shield is that it is not a magic that protects the whole body. Even the mutated Water Pattern Shield is only half a meter in diameter in its normal size.

Saleen also discovered that if the water pattern shield was compressed, the defense would be doubled. He has now compressed the water pattern shield to be smaller than a palm, and its defense has increased tenfold.

But the smaller the magic shield, the greater the loopholes. If Salin wants to perfect this mutation magic, he must be able to control the water shield 100%, just like what he is doing now, letting his mental power control the water shield to move continuously.

Saleen's mental power was very strong, but it was very difficult to control the movement of the magic shield. After any magic shield is formed, it has fixed coordinates. It is not easy to move even an inch. This coordinate is usually a certain point on the magician's body, or it can also be a certain point on other objects.

The elemental energy is centered on this point to form a complete magic. If you want to move it, you also need to constantly move the magic coordinates. This is an extremely difficult thing to do.

Salin was not creating something out of thin air. He knew that this kind of thing was possible, because great magicians could handle low-level magic in this way, and magicians could already freely control intermediate magic. Although what he did was a bit ahead of his time, it was not impossible.

call…

Saleen's head came out of the water, just in time to see Nelisse's face.

"Nelise, what are you doing?"

"Watch you take a bath." Nailisi drew circles in the water with her fingers, ripples rippled, and the petals on the water also floated and sank.

"I'm practicing." Saleen glared at Nailis.

"I know, but magic doesn't work like this..." Nailis leaned forward, stretched out her arm, and poked the water shield beside Saleen with her finger. A lock of her long black hair hung down and spread out in the water, as gentle as smoke.

Saleen curled his lips. He now knew that Nailis could not release any demonic magic. He disdains the opinions of outsiders. The pride of a magician can also be said to be arrogance.

"I remember… "

When Saleen heard what Nailis said, he suddenly realized that although Nailis was an underage little devil, she had met powerful humans tens of thousands of years ago and would definitely know some secrets.

"What do you remember?" Salin was so excited that he almost stood up. You know, humans tens of thousands of years ago could cross planes at will, and were so powerful that they even surpassed magicians of level nine or above.

"I remember that the magic cast by humans was full of vitality, as if it was alive. I saw with my own eyes at that time, a pair of hands pulled open a space in the air and stuffed a dozen big demons into it. All of them All the elements obey the instructions of those hands, which is trust and surrender." Nailisi chanted like a poet, with an intoxicating gleam in her eyes.

Salin listened patiently and understood with his heart. Such memories are valuable experiences that cannot be obtained anywhere.

"That demon hunter, even if he frowns or blinks, the surrounding elements will fluctuate with him." Nailis's voice became softer and softer, immersed in the memories before being captured.

Elemental resonance

No, elemental resonance is irreversible. And according to Nelisse's description, the fluctuations of elements can be changed at any time. Such control cannot be achieved even by magicians.

Could it be that Nailis was tempting herself to make a mistake

That's not right, Nailisi didn't lie, she herself couldn't get rid of the nightmare of that year.

Is there a living magical element? Saleen thought of the mysterious leaves in the Ring of Grace. There is a vitality of life hidden in that leaf. As soon as he thought about it, he could no longer suppress the idea of experimenting. The second spell in the gift ring slowly flowed into his heart, and Salin opened his mouth and read it out.

The gift of life, a semi-magic creation by the goddess of nature. The green light on the gift ring lit up again, still flashing by. Saleen felt the fluctuation of the elements, but could not complete this semi-magic.

Is it necessary to have divine help? Saleen suspected that this magic was mixed with divine magic. If so, it would be absolutely impossible for him to complete it. Because the goddess of nature has fallen, maybe she should pray to the Lord of Glory

Even if I pray, there will be no answer. I have killed the priests, ascetics and fanatics of the Holy See.

Salin didn't have any ill feelings toward the people of the Holy See. After all, he was the one who made the first move, and the magician didn't take the initiative to attack him. But after hearing Aini's story, he understood that he had thought of the Holy See too simply. Therefore, he did not expect to be saved, so he could only try his best to escape further, so that the people of the Holy See would never have a chance to catch him.

Salin did not give up. He took out the leaf hiding the vitality from the gift ring. This leaf is yellow in color and looks unremarkable. Salin held the leaf in his palm and recited the life-giving spell again.

This time, green light lit up in Salin's hand, and a mysterious power emitted from the leaves, forming a green ball of light that penetrated into a water pattern shield designated by Salin.

Saleen immediately felt that he had a mysterious connection with the water pattern shield. He tried to mobilize this water pattern shield with his mental power. The bubble-shaped magic shield left Salin's body, flew up, and began to move in the air according to Salin's will. The route became more and more complicated.

Saleen was extremely surprised. If the Water Shield could be controlled in this way, his safety would be greatly improved. He couldn't wait to cast the second life grant, and the second water pattern shield flew away from the body.

Nailis grabbed the second water pattern shield, put it in her mouth and bit it. Saleen was furious, and before he could speak, Nailis spit out the water shield, which was still a complete bubble.

"Master, it can't be bitten. You succeeded." Nailisi said obediently, as if she didn't just want to eat this living magic shield.

Salin was discouraged, this little devil was getting more and more cunning.

Shaking his head, Saleen wanted to continue using Life Grant, but the remaining eighteen water pattern shields broke apart one after another. Only then did he remember that he had been in the water for an hour. The water pattern shield can last longer in the water, but one hour is also the limit. What made him a little strange was that the two water-patterned shields that had gained vitality did not disappear and were flying lively in front of him.
