Walking to the experimental table, Richard sat down, lit many candles, adjusted the reflective lenses, and began to study the magic patterns.
After a month of research, Richard achieved considerable results in terms of magic patterns. There were dozens of them written on the papyrus scrolls alone. Ring No. 1 and Ring No. 2 each have a new magic pattern added to them.
Among them, the one added to the No. 1 Ring is the "Biating Blood Spell", which is a very commonly used spell. Considering the convenience, Richard finally added it.
Added to the second ring is the "Small Dehydration Technique". This is a relatively special spell. Literally understood, its function is to accelerate dehydration in the body and put the enemy's body in a bad state, thereby gaining certain advantages in battle. Advantage.
However, what Richard valued was not actually the effect of this spell - dehydrating a person.
It takes too long for dehydration to reach the point where it affects combat. For example, severe dehydration requires water loss to account for more than 6% of body weight or weight loss of more than 10%, so that symptoms such as shock and coma may occur. This may take dozens of minutes or even hours to complete, and you don't know how long it will take before the battle ends.
Regarding the small dehydration spell, what Richard valued was the way in which the spell took effect.
Generally speaking, the most common dehydration is usually caused by high-intensity exercise at high temperatures, resulting in a large amount of sweating, but the "mini-dehydration technique" takes a different approach.
Its mechanism of action is to stimulate the enemy's body to produce a substance similar to cocoline sodium salicylate (diurea), causing a certain degree of central nervous system excitement in the enemy, resulting in a strong and long-lasting diuretic effect. By then, the kidney function in the enemy's body will be significantly enhanced.
As we all know, in order to be purified, human blood must flow through the kidneys to excrete waste products such as urea. During this process, the enhanced kidney function will cause the kidneys to separate more water from the blood while expelling waste, and then enter the bladder along the ureters for storage.
Of course, this process also involves tubular reabsorption, which transports water and certain solutes back into the blood. But the speed of reabsorption is far slower than the speed of water entering the kidneys and bladder.
In this way, as long as the "Small Dehydration Technique" works many times, the enemy's bladder will expand explosively. Only those who have experienced it firsthand know what it will feel like after it expands to the limit.
This method seems a bit unserious and even a bit funny. But in Richard's view, it doesn't matter whether it's funny or not, serious or not, only the effect is good or bad.
If you can kill someone, is there any difference between the person dying laughing and dying crying? They are all just dead people.
As for the small dehydration technique, Richard thinks it is an excellent spell with great potential. Recently, I have been thinking about maybe improving it appropriately to strengthen other ways of dehydration. In addition to kidney dehydration, diarrhea is actually another important way of dehydration, even more powerful than kidney dehydration. However, Richard has not found the specific implementation plan for the transformation and is still exploring it.
But no matter what, Richard's two rings now have five magic patterns, which can be regarded as forming a certain combat effectiveness.
Among them, the No. 1 ring, which strengthens its own functions, has magic patterns on it: the lightness of the wind, the brute force of the wind, Pierce's nerve sensitivity, accelerated recovery, and the Byting's blood boiling technique.
The second ring that weakens the enemy's function, the magic patterns on it are: paralysis lightning, frost freezing, corrosive toxin, low temperature stun, small dehydration.
Richard considered taking these two rings as the core components of the current battle. In this way, after completing the production of a few more rings, he can compete head-on with the official wizard.
At present, it is possible to fight against official wizards by using some means and paying a relatively large price. However, after all, there are some deficiencies in some aspects. If you can avoid this, avoid this situation.
Thinking of this, Richard operated the two rings under the light. The main thing was to try to adjust some details, but there were no major changes.
Even so, it still took a lot of energy and time, and it took more than half an hour to finish.
After finishing his work, Richard stood up and moved around. He looked in the corner and saw Pandora lying on the bed, fast asleep, with one leg stretched out from under the quilt. Her sleeping appearance was extremely indecent.
Richard looked at it and shook his head, walked over and covered Pandora with the quilt.
As soon as it was covered, Pandora kicked it open again and stretched out her legs again.
Richard covered it again, and Pandora kicked it open again and stretched out her legs.
After Richard covered him for the third time, Pandora seemed to be in a hurry. With a strong force, there was a "stab" sound, and one of her legs kicked out a hole in the quilt. The quilt was still covering my body, but my legs stubbornly stuck out through the holes in the quilt, as if to declare: I have the final say on my legs, they want to be exposed, and no one can put them in.
Richard: "..."
After exhaling, Richard gave up, walked towards the wooden chair on the side, and sat down. He blinked his eyes, turned his hand, and took out a fist-sized crystal skull from the space iron ring.
The crystal skull was obtained by digging a whole tunnel and digging out a secret room in the mountain when he was staying with Gregory. The tunnel was later used to bury the wizard Somen who killed Gregory.
After obtaining the crystal skull, Richard has been studying it.
However, because the magic patterns carved on the crystal skull are extremely complex, more complex than the drift bottle, so far, Richard has only made some improvements on the two initially determined functions.
The first function: Input a specific wave of mana to cause the crystal skull to release a mental shock. After hitting a living organism, the target can lose control of its emotions and become furious, acting only on instinct. The more mana you input, the more pronounced the effect will be.
The improvements made are: it can make the attack range of the mental shock larger and more precise, and it can even attack two targets at the same time, but there will be a difference in severity - a main target that focuses on the attack, and a secondary target with a lighter attack.
The second function: generates a self-contained mental force field. The creature in the mental force field, if it is an intelligent creature, human beings, will have its mental power exercised and enhance its mental strength. If it is a non-intelligent creature, its mind will be improved. The range of the mental force field can be controlled, and the smaller the range, the better the effect. When the force field is reduced to less than one meter, the mental strength of the person within it can be significantly increased.
The improvements made are: it can make the mental force field more accurate and effective in enhancing people's mental strength, so that people's spirit can be purified and tempered to some extent.
Using the crystal skull, after a long period of training, Richard's current mental strength is far beyond what an apprentice can match.
If the apprentice's spirit is like a puddle of water, then his spirit now is ice made of water - a century-old ice, harder than steel.
Because he had too little contact with wizards, Richard didn't know if the spirit of a formal wizard would be like his, but it must be similar.
But even so, he has been using the crystal skull to exercise - after all, there is no harm in strengthening himself.
Richard placed the crystal skull on his chest, activated the relevant functions, then closed his eyes and lay on the wooden chair, motionless.
In a blink of an eye, it's dawn...
Dust is blowing from a distance, and a sandstorm seems to be coming...
