Chapter 291: The study of magic

"Do you want to learn these spells?" the young mage asked Claude, pointing to the magic scrolls on the table.

"I think" Claude nodded honestly.

"I'm not going to teach you." The young mage wrinkled her pretty nose and made a face at Claude. This time, she was still angry with Claude for suddenly hugging and kissing her just now, and she remembered the passionate kiss and reaching into her. With the tongue in her mouth, she felt her face getting hot again.

"Okay, you have the final say." Claude smiled bitterly and nodded again. He is now full of ambition but not strong enough. The few spells he really wants to learn are all first-level spells. Even if the girl mage asks him to learn them, he will not be able to use them. At most, he can only give the magic array structure of these first-level spells to him. Remember, when you are promoted to a second-level rune mage in the future, you can engrave it on the hexagram in the mental space as your second-level basic spell.

In fact, of the nineteen magic scrolls that Sheila's mother left for the young mage, what Claude really valued were the four first-level spells, energy shield, eagle eye water mirror, stealth and soaring. . As for the two spells of turning fossils into mud and turning mud into stone, he already has them. It is recorded in Master Landers's diary that there is no need to learn them from the young mage.

Six zero-level spells, spiritual enlightenment and vine entanglement, and Sheila's exchange of spells have been learned. There is no need to learn the Eagle Eye Technique. You have your own exploratory eyes, which is not much worse than the Eagle Eye Technique. There is no need to learn the spell of surrounding wild bees. It is impossible for you to carry a swarm of wild bees with you during your military career. The cultivation technique doesn't matter. You can't use it even if you learn it. If you can learn it, it can be used in conjunction with the tree rejuvenation technique.

There is also a fireball spell, which is the only attack spell among the six zero-level spells, and it is also the magician's signature spell in Claude's impression. Just like what the young mage said, her mother used a few small fireballs to knock down a few big bad wolves that wanted to attack them. Her posture was so cool and unrestrained. But Claude carefully read the instructions behind the fireball spell and found that the attack distance of this spell was actually not much farther than the magic flying arrow he knew.

Perhaps the magical power of this fireball spell also depends on the caster's mage level. The girl's mother was already a fourth-level natural mage at that time, so the power of the fireball spell she cast was naturally extraordinary. But Claude is a first-level rune mage. He doubts that even if he learns the fireball technique, the magic power will not be much stronger than the magic flying arrow.

The characteristic of the fireball technique is that it explodes like a grenade and makes a loud explosion sound. The magic flying arrow is like a pistol, concealed and deadly. In terms of magic power consumption, if casting a fireball consumes ten of your own magic power, then the magic power of casting a magic flying arrow is only three. In other words, the magic power of casting three magic flying arrows can only be used to cast the fireball spell once.

Therefore, Claude had an attitude towards learning Fireball. He had no interest in other second-level, third-level and fourth-level spells. Stone Giant Summoning is a fourth-level spell, which can only be learned by being promoted to a fifth-level rune mage. For Claude, it is still a very long way away. He himself estimates that it will take at least ten or twenty years before he can have that possibility. .

Third-level spells, that awesome spell replacement must be learned. However, like the stone giant summoning, this also requires time to accumulate, so let’s put it aside for now. There is also a tree man guard who is a third-level spell. Like the three second-level group attack spells, the Flame Magic Wall, the Flowing Water, and the Maze Forest, Claude is not very interested in it.

Because Claude felt that these spells were a bit too old, perhaps they could be said to be infinitely powerful in an era before muskets were invented. But now only a small group of town garrison soldiers can chase two or three fifth-ring mages into a panic. The reason is very simple. As long as the spell casting distance and magic effect range are not as far as the range of the musket, the magician's life safety will always be under the threat of the musket.

Take Claude's combat spell Magic Flying Arrow as an example. He is now a first-level rune mage. The best distance for casting Magic Flying Arrow is within ten meters, and the furthest distance will not exceed fifteen meters. Even if he becomes a fifth-ring rune mage in the future and the power of the magic flying arrows is greatly increased, the distance will not exceed fifty meters at most. Compared with the range of today's precise aiming and shooting muskets, it is still in a passive position. Of course, there are many advantages. At least it is easier to load than the musket charge. At close range, as long as you avoid the first shot of the musket, it is useless.
