"My fireball will tear you apart."
"Ha, try my gun."
On Einro's Glory Arena, a battle between high-level mage and shooter is going on. According to normal practice, the shooter will definitely constantly adjust the distance and angle, play all kinds of fancy evasive moves, and look for one-hit kills. If it is a mounted archer, it will gain a more obvious maneuverability advantage and attack frequency.
However, the common tactics of high-level mages are just the opposite. They usually first brush a lot of defensive magic on themselves, and then summon a bunch of cannon fodder, and then start to find the possibility of killing the opponent in the balance of attack and defense.
But this time, it was still the elf ranger versus the mage, but the audience outside the venue couldn't understand it.
The purple-haired elf ranger was not holding the enchanted longbow commonly used by the elves, but the dwarf musket that they despised in the past that could explode at any time, and his mount was not the holy unicorn and Pegasus in the forest, But the roaring iron horse.
Wearing a black punk leather jacket and a leather hat, the high elves held the front of the car in one hand and circled at high speed on the field, jumping up, hitting the wall, making an emergency stop, standing up, and playing tricks and skills smoothly.
In the other hand, he held a silver shotgun, seized the gaps in the battle, and kept attacking his opponent. However, unlike the low-power lead bullets of the dwarf muskets in the past, this one was painted with silver magic paint. The diamond-encrusted high-end goods shoot colorful magic bullets.
The handsome young man of the elf tribe still seems to be confident and calm in his response. With a shake of his hand from time to time and a flick of the gun body, the ammunition will be loaded automatically. screamed in exclamation.
But his opponent did not eat this set. The mage of the silver armor even ignored the opponent's attack and just stood up to cast spells, blizzard, frost drop, hail chain, big ice cone, one by one high-level large-scale magic continued. Smashing it down, it is like a nouveau riche with infinite magic.
And the opponent's magic musket hits a hole in the wall, and hits a big deep pit on the ground. It only shoots dazzling sparks when it hits the mage's armor, and the large-scale attack thrown by the mage makes The iron horse shooter jumps around.
The archer's attack power is definitely not low. Ade, the gold-ranked magic archer, can already use these magic guns to play the unique inheritance magic archery of the elves. The attack is ignored, just because the opponent's armor is too outrageous.
It's just a silver armor covering the whole body. The result of the total closure is that you can't even see the face. Under the protective mask of Mojing, there is a face as calm as ice. The magic force field of the armor constitutes an additional three layers of protection, and the dazzling dragon crystal on the chest exudes terrifying magic fluctuations. This armor makes any rich man shout, "The big local tyrant from there!"
And the silver thorn rose emblem on the back of the power armor undoubtedly shows that this mecha is the latest masterpiece of the garden of thorns - "rich, willful!" Number one, um, in a sense, this extremely strange name is already This set of full mithril armor is the best interpretation.
The built-in energy pool is charging the three layers of protection: force field, ice, and thunderstorm. The thick mithril armor is the best magic metal material. Under the three-dimensional reinforcement protection of these four layers, Ade's magic bullets can't hit at all. Wearing the opponent's armor and constantly "hitting the opponent, but he bounced" and "we didn't hit his armor" made him very irritable.
Everyone knows that there is no chance of winning in a battle that only defends and does not attack. If nothing distorts the situation, Ade, who has recently gained popularity and momentum in the arena, will lose.
"It's over!"
When the iron-horse motorcycle slid through a thin ice created by a blizzard, the tires suddenly slipped and then lost control.
"...Fifteen consecutive victories, even the 'Blood Moon Hunter' Ade has lost. It's still one-sided. This armor is too outrageous."
In the city of clouds, mages and warriors who love to fight also have their own entertainment, and it is a rare place for gambling games. Aibo Arena is such a place. There are countless battles here every day, some of which are just competitions. Competitive contests, simulated actual battles to accumulate actual combat experience, and education bureaus between masters and apprentices, naturally, there is no shortage of life-threatening duels, but today's game is just the most common daily gambling game.
So far, both sides have pressed equivalents, which can not only accumulate combat experience, but also gain practical benefits and reputation, but because the ring competition is really not suitable for mages, most of the contestants are warriors, rangers and other occupations. They or A native inhabitant of the kingdom of mages, or the guardian of a certain mages.
Ade is the guard of a certain high elf prince. He was originally a well-known ranger archer in his hometown. After getting the iron horse mount and magic spear in the Garden of Thorns, he quickly practiced a high-speed horse archer magic bullet. Many opponents who were originally stronger than him were defeated by his fast-moving, fast-paced offensive.
And after he won ten consecutive victories, he encountered the most difficult opponent, this mage wearing a full-body mithril mobile armor, this archmage who can make the dragon family appear very poor in front of him.
There is no need for any positioning and protection magic at all, just stand in a heavy mobile armor, and the built-in defense opponents can't beat it, and then slowly recite your own incantation, as a fixed turret, the magic power is not enough. It can be drawn from the energy pool, with extremely high defense and infinite magic power, so shameless.
"Dead rich!"
"Be careful going out and being robbed by giant dragons!"
The cheers of the audience are also this new star, and this "dead rich man" is indeed the nickname of this unknown mage. Obviously, the highest use of spells is only the peak of silver, but he has killed many strong opponents abruptly. Among them Even two legends are included!
If Ade's adaptation to new technologies proves that science and technology are combat power, this one proves a more constant truth - money is an uncle.
Of course, to be rich to this level, most of them guess that he is at least a legendary archmage, and it is not impossible for a top archmage to go up.
But when the silver-glowing mage slowly walked into his lounge, he collapsed to the ground, and a large amount of steam was spewed out of the vent in his chest.
On the other side, several gnome and goblin engineers were ready, and immediately began to remove parts for them. When the full-coverage helmet was disassembled, an unusually young face was revealed.
"Cohen, how do you feel?"
Yes, this "dead rich man" is not an archmage, but my little apprentice Cohen, a swordsman of the Four Spirits who may not even be considered a silver rank.
"... supplemented with dragon crystal's magic power, the magic power can hardly be used up, but dragon crystal is so precious... "
"Don't worry, if you keep playing, it's an opportunity to practice. As for the dragon crystal and magic data? Don't worry, this time, someone will pay for it."
In a certain world, war is the catalyst for the explosive growth of technology. As long as it is pushed to the limit, people will come up with those immature technologies that are reliable and unreliable, and then try to get results that can be used for killing.
Magic Mechanics, this new discipline that came into being was also born during the war, and is destined to grow with the war, and when the Garden of Thorns launched new products, all kinds of new engineering tools were extremely popular, such as those two. The set of mechas "Interstellar Rangers", "Sith Warriors" and "Jedi Knights" have been greatly sought after as soon as they came out.
But this was unexpected. We didn't even list them as the main product. After all, although these two sets of power mecha have greatly improved the user's mobility and defense ability, they are also equipped with micro energy pools, but they are metal The structure has an obvious impact on the transmission of magic power. If the magic weapons units such as "Four Spirit Swordsmen" and "Magic Bullet Shooters" rely on "peripherals" to use magic, they can ignore the interference of magic power, and pure mages are obviously not suitable. Such a casting environment.
But I still underestimate the... local tyrants of these mages!
It is true that the existing technology is limited, but the richness of the local tyrants is unlimited. As long as all parts are replaced with top-quality materials, the material itself has magic power. Even if the drawings are the same, if the material gap is too large, naturally it is no longer. Creatures of the same level.
Does Metal Affect Spellcasting? All enchanted mithril will not affect it! They were all refined from the finest mithril by the great alchemist, but they were a little more expensive, probably 100 times as much as gold of the same weight.
Lack of magic power boosting materials? Just take out a bunch of dragon crystals! Phoenix feather, big devil heart wholesale is there! The giant wolf king's skin that is only produced in can be sold. As long as you have the heart, you can even find the longan of the purgatory dragon in the lower plane.
Will not inscribe the protective magic circle? The truth-level enchanting master serves you, do you need to engrave "absolute defense" or "ultra-long-range precise teleportation", or "meteor fire shower", only engraving magic with four rings? How dare you look down on me.
Does the armor move slowly because it's too heavy? are you kidding me? Goblin's rocket pack? It's enough to engrave a few more anti-gravity magic circles to reduce self-weight. Anyway, we have top-quality materials.
By the way, don't forget to ask the elf craftsmen to do further processing, I want angel wings on the helmet, the most popular steampunk style for the armor as a whole, hit two volcanoes on the shoulders, and regularly spew flames with illusion, how cool! I also need an eye patch, on which I will be inlaid with three emeralds that emit red light. I want the eyes of the evil dragon!
Well, except for the last guy's request that makes people doubt his aesthetics and second degree, the other archmages are still very reliable, they are all aimed at the actual combat effect and life saving, the most important thing is that they have money , has been in the treasury for many years, and found that he is likely to go to the battlefield soon, facing a very uncertain opponent, but cherishing his own life, naturally he is willing to spend money to save his life.
After doing a little calculation, I did not hesitate to hand over the work of the standard power armor to others, and I was personally responsible for the most profitable custom-made mobile armor.
But the premise of long-term transactions is that you get what you pay for. High-priced products must have the quality that high-priced products can only have. If they continue to spend money at any cost, and even continue to invest more, they must at least prove that the quality of these works is indeed superior. value for money.
Therefore, the rookie Cohen wore "rich, willful!" The No. 1 machine came to the stage, and there were many top mages watching the game, and even top mages came off the field and tested this priceless "Golden Armor" Real defense ability, and after learning that the operator is a rookie who has only been exposed to magic for less than two years, he did not hesitate to add more than three times the investment, and make sure that his custom armor should surpass this one.
It actually gave me a sigh of relief, after all, I'd have to find a way to scrape together materials to fill the gap.
Where does the gap come from? Haven't started to order yet? In the old days, tailors did not always have unspoken rules for collecting materials to make clothes. For cucumbers made from materials, each roll of cloth would be a fraction more than expected. Then as long as a few more pieces were made, the tailor himself would inexplicably have one more piece. Clothes are coming.
I don't have any top-level magic materials here. This "willful" No. 1 is a piece of the fractions of the various orders collected now. If the subsequent new orders do not keep up, this hole is really not small.
I encouraged Cohen a little bit, let him accumulate practical experience here, continue to demonstrate the strength and combat power of the economic garden, and test the mecha, I couldn't help but sigh.
"The role of the power mecha has far exceeded expectations. Even the inventor can't predict what effect his creation will have in the end? Originally, I thought this sentence was nonsense, but I didn't expect that one day I would encounter it."
I remembered that due to my butterfly effect, those top mages would be armed to the teeth and take to the battlefield in the future, so that these fragile firepower points that were still trembling under the protection of their comrades became solid mobile turrets, which were killed by shadow assassins one by one. Even if the Forbidden Magic Mage can't die, I feel that "history" might have embarked on a different path.
"When the time comes, there will be a group of demons with ancient giant swords, evil gods riding wild beasts, a group of archmages wearing power armor, horse archers flying around on motorcycles, and tauren with heavy artillery on the battlefield. , Zombies with chainsaw prostheses, this is a team battle... I always feel that the style of painting is a bit wrong."
And when he left the arena, but the work was not over, after unknowingly becoming the largest arms dealer in the Tower of the Clouds, there was another project to check the progress.
But this time, it's not a place to be open and aboveboard.
It took more than two hours for the carriage to cross several mountains and rivers. It was almost dark, and we arrived at a cemetery on the outskirts of the city, where is our destination.
As soon as the sky entered dusk, a gloomy wind blew across the mountains, and the surrounding trees swayed like ghosts. Our horses seemed to be caught in some kind of evil.
"Hey, every time I get here, I have to go by myself."
"It's no wonder that the 'ghosts' like this place so much. This negative energy can catch up with the plane of death. The bones enter such a cemetery. It's a strange thing not to be haunted. Judging from this environment, this should be an experiment. Failed product."
As a semi-undead creature, Heloise would be very energetic every time she came here. In the remote mountainous area, a black cat appeared and disappeared in the shadows, which really smelled like a ghost story.
"Look over there, it's so remote, there are still farms."
"Hmph, it must be the secret whistle of those ghosts. Do you think there will be a harvest here? Only ghouls will be grown."
Well, in fact, I also know that unless there is a problem with the head in this haunted land, who will buy property here.
Although he cooperated with the ghost and bought this land of the dead where negative energy gathered, the other party obviously has not given up on collecting additional information.
But our goal is on this land.
"How is the big man?"
Herois sat quietly on the ground, her pupils stagnated a little, while her clone was collecting all kinds of information for her, and soon, her pupils were full of vitality again.
"Very good, it has begun to enter the dormant period, and it will be able to act in about half a month."
I nodded my head with satisfaction. Since everything went well, we will come back in half a month to reap the results.
"... It was the ghost boys who came to check a few times. It seems that they still didn't give up and wanted to know what we wanted to do when we bought this land. Oh, no wonder, after all, this is the goal of the Emperor of Eternal Night, right? Ordinary necromancers are naturally attractive."
"Let them see, they can't see anything anyway. After all, who would have thought that all we really want is this land full of negative energy, and we don't even need a corpse as an individual. Our new creation, It's just this cemetery."
The Graveyard Demon is the one we named it not long ago. It is a half-undead, half-earth elemental creature composed of a large amount of cemetery dirt saturated with negative energy. It is itself a strong source of negative energy pollution, which can not only strongly increase the combat power of the undead. , and even the residence of small and medium-sized undead.
This undead beast is not our original invention. There should be a similar existence among the undead in the ancient times, but there is no such similar undead beast in modern times. We refer to ancient documents and existing technical conditions. Test items made.
And when I was in the Dream Forest, what I most envied was the bonus of Dream Forest and Jill’s ability to transform the environment—since I couldn’t choose the battlefield, I tried every means to make the battlefield my home.
And this is the role of the cemetery demon. He is a moving cemetery, from which the undead can obtain negative energy supply, replace limbs, and strengthen their combat power at any time. As long as the injured undead do not die on the spot, in this cemetery, soon to restore combat power.
The fighting style of the wood spirits inspired me. Perhaps the undead no longer need any powerful units. What they lack is the treatment and auxiliary units such as druids and priests. Gaining the ability to resupply on the battlefield will increase combat power more effectively than any powerful unit.
Of course, we went this far out of town alone, but it wasn't just for that.
The crow in the sky had already landed on the head of the black cat, then turned into a silver liquid, merged and disappeared, and Herois, who received the feedback from the sub-body's high-altitude reconnaissance, nodded slightly to me, so I was immediately overjoyed.
"Has the big fish finally caught the bait?"
