Chapter 304: The weakness of the magic cannon

puff!

The moment Regnar appeared, he slit the guard's throat with Devouring Light.

"It's so terrible that I actually teleported to this place." Regnar frowned and sighed.

The reason why he sighed like this was not because he hit the enemy in a blink of an eye, but because... the tower he teleported to... was a toilet...

And the poor Stoke guard just now was just looking for an opportunity to solve his physical problem while on patrol. But he didn't expect that this time he would die if he went to the toilet.

"Anne will be teleported in three minutes." Garona said very calmly...

“…”

Three minutes is not enough time for Regnar to find a safe and secluded corner, so if he doesn't want to be exposed, Regnar's best choice is to stay here.

However, Regner could imagine how Annelotte would react when she came to such a scene. Therefore, from the perspective of life safety, Regnar felt that even if he rushed out directly to fight for the Stoker people, it would be safer than staying here...

"No need to say more! For the sake of the mission, I, Regnar, am willing to kill myself!" If anyone were around, they would have noticed that Regnar was dying with a somewhat generous expression at this time.

"People are willing to cut themselves off to bring down the emperor. How about you? Are you willing to be cut into pieces? Drag Anne into the men's room?" Garona said with schadenfreude.

"Ahhh!" Regnar almost shouted out, but no matter how scared he was, Regnar still endured the stench and hid the body of the Stoke guard.

Three minutes later, the teleportation sigil in Regnar's pocket emitted a faint blue light. It was originally just a point, and then gradually spread in an irregular circle. It is worth noting that the space outside the circle has not changed at all, but the scenery inside the circle is a dark grove.

Immediately afterwards, Annelotte's heart-stirring face appeared within the circle. She first stretched out a hand from inside to test it. After confirming that there was no problem, Annelotte walked directly out of the circle.

"Sorry! I really didn't mean it this time!" Regnar was so frightened that his legs trembled.

But Annelotte obviously didn't agree with him. She glanced at Regnar with a murderous look, but said calmly: "The mission is important, I will settle this account with you later!"

"Fortunately, fortunately..." Regnar couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she tried her best to endure it, the smell coming from the toilet was simply intolerable to Annelotte, who always loved cleanliness. She frowned and said, "Let's go, get out of here first."

"Okay." Regnar also knew that it was better to be obedient at this time, so he simply entered the stealth state.

And Annelotte also used the advanced invisibility technique and the eye of insight as fast as she could. Of these two spells, the former allows Annelotte to gain invisibility that cannot be broken even if she casts a spell, while the latter gives Annelotte the ability to see into Regnar's stealth. Of course, even with the eyes of insight, Annelotte looked at Regnar vaguely.

Regnar was even more helpless. The invisible Annelotte was completely transparent. So in desperation, the Frost Girl could only walk out of this smelly place hand in hand with Regnar.

"Let's go there first!" Regnar pointed to a magic cannon not far from the two of them.

Each magic cannon has two fixed guards. In addition, there are guards patrolling the city wall. If simple methods like killing people and destroying cannons were used directly, Regner felt that the matter would be exposed in about fifteen minutes. At his speed, one cannon will be destroyed approximately every three minutes, and five cannons will be destroyed in fifteen minutes.

If he then forced the attack while exposed, he would probably be able to delay it for about half an hour, but in that case it would be good if he could destroy a cannon in ten minutes. There are only three doors in half an hour. Adding the previous five doors, you can only destroy eight doors at most. Of course, plus the results of Annelotte's battle, considering Annelotte's mobility, the girl might be faster than Regnar. But even so, the two of them together could destroy at most about twenty magic cannons, which was still a long way from destroying all of Manhattan.

Thinking of this, Regnar couldn't help but feel lucky that he had brought Annelotte here. With her here, Regna felt that this matter would be much easier. This kind of confidence can be said to have almost no reason, but Regnar just feels that this frost girl is so amazing.

The two guards stood there and had some boring chat. After all, this was Tide City. The city wall alone was more than twenty meters high. It was impossible for the Yankees to run up. How could they destroy the magic cannon? They are standing guard here just to be cautious.

But what they didn't expect was that someone could climb such a high wall easily. Not only that, but these two people were also observing their biggest support for defending the city-the magic cannon right under their noses.

"What should I do?" Regnar asked using sign language. This set of sign language was once recorded in Velez's notes. But Regner, who was acting alone at the time, felt it was useless, so he never learned. It wasn't until he and Annelotte began to cooperate that Regnar understood the importance of transmitting information silently. And this set of sign language was just learned before performing the last task.

"Let me observe." Annelotte used the magic spell to cast a communication spell. She was completely invisible. In this case, even the sign language Regner could not see it.

Annelotte circled around the magic cannon gently, then began to hold her chin and think seriously.

"Didn't you already read the information about the magic cannon in the Military Intelligence Office?" Regner asked, waving his arms.

"It's different. What I learned from those materials is just superficial. Only by actually seeing the real thing can I have a clear understanding of it." Annelotte said that the communication technique is only a zero-level magic, and it is the same as the second-level magic concealment communication. The only difference in technique is whether to move the lips. And Annelotte is invisible now, so it doesn't matter if she moves her lips or not.

"Can you find its weakness?" Regnar continued to ask.

Annelotte did not answer, but if she had not become invisible at this moment, Regnar would have been able to see Annelotte looking at him with disdain just now. It felt like saying to Regnar, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"I see, the energy transmission device has many lines. It is not easy to destroy it. And even if it is destroyed, the traces left behind will be very huge, and the guards will probably notice it quickly..." Annelotte was observing and thinking. : "What about the energy source?"

"The magic storage crystal as the energy source is carefully protected inside... If Regnar's light swallowing is accompanied by space cutting, it should be easily destroyed, and the traces left will be very small. In a short time You shouldn't notice..." Annelotte continued to think: "Then what should I do?"

It is true that Regnar can silently destroy the core of the magic energy cannon through space cutting, but what about Annelotte? She does not have the ability to cut space, so she can only rely on spells to destroy the energy source. But as long as it is a spell, even the movement caused by magic missiles will definitely attract the attention of the guards. As long as she takes action, she will definitely be exposed, what should she do

Annelotte thought for a moment, then suddenly froze. She stretched out her hand tentatively, and then a chill hit her from the magic energy cannon.

"Huh? What happened to that cold wind just now?" A guard asked after a shudder.

"It's strange, I feel it too." Another guard also said a little strangely, but the sudden appearance and sudden disappearance of the low temperature obviously did not arouse their vigilance. The two discussed for a few words, and after confirming that the discussion could not produce any results, they shifted the topic to "On the breast size of women in the north and south."

Regnar put away the swallowing light and black blades that were placed around their necks. Although Annelotte's low-temperature field is powerful, the huge temperature difference can easily attract others' attention. Of course, this level of attention is much smaller than the mage's spells.

"It's done!" Annelotte checked the magic cannon with satisfaction. As he expected, in order for the magic energy cannon to reach mass production, the number of magic storage crystals will be a big problem.

Under normal circumstances, the value of a piece of magic storage crystal is half that of a diamond of the same volume. If the energy source of the magic energy cannon is made of this kind of thing, I am afraid that even the rich heritage of the Stoke Empire will not be able to bear it.

Therefore, Annelotte guessed that the energy source of the magic energy cannon might not be a normal magic storage crystal. And this is indeed the case. Because the magic energy cannon only fires super fireballs, it uses molten fire crystals.

It is also a gem that stores elemental energy, but it can only store fire energy. Moreover, unlike the precious Heart of the Ocean gemstone inlaid on Annelotte's robe, its ability to store fire element energy is completely inferior to the capacity of the Heart of the Ocean for the frost element. However, the fire spar is cheap to make, and Very common.

But it has an obvious shortcoming, that is, it will be damaged under low temperature conditions. Basically, as long as the temperature approaches zero, the crystal structure inside the fire spar will be destroyed, which means that the energy of the fire element cannot be stored.

So Annelotte just tried using the low-temperature field, but when she poured her magic power into the energy source, she found that it really couldn't absorb it anymore. This shows that the energy source has been destroyed by the low temperature just now.

"I see, so even though Stoker developed the magic cannon last winter, he didn't put it into use?" Annelotte suddenly realized.
