The Truth of Magic

Chapter 599: Original combination, violent power

Views:

In fact, there should be no relationship between a gentle mage who looks like an old scholar and a barbarian who looks like a muscular man.

Zhao Xu, who had "potential points", really used too many spells on himself.

It stands to reason that a level 10 mage only has dozens of spell slots, and Zhao Xu can use them all in less than three minutes.

So when he usually seemed fine, he would casually think of giving himself three rings of "energy protection" to make him immune to attribute damage.

Then start using "Super Magic Control" that will cause attribute damage to "delay" or "lasting" the spell.

The reason why Zhao Xu was considered a similar "barbarian" by another barbarian player who looked quite experienced was mainly due to a set of spell sequences - "original combination".

Similar to the "Unicorn Combination" spell, once the spells are buffed on the body at the same time, they will form a superimposed resonance and produce new effects.

The legendary "original four-piece set" used by Zhao Xu is a spell that lasts for 24 hours once cast.

Zhao Xu had two days to complete after the delay, so he usually didn't hesitate to use it.

The first spell is "primordial hunter", which is also a druid's second-level divine spell, a warlock's second-level arcane spell, and a ranger's first-level divine spell, which happens to be not in the wizard list (Druid 2 spells, 2 patrol 1).

Once the "Original Hunter" spell is cast, his muscles will swell with the memory of the power of his ancestors, allowing him to return to the time when his ancestors struggled for survival.

Therefore, the Climb, Jump, and Swim skills gain a +5 competence bonus.

The second one is "Primitive Instinct" (De 3 Technique 3 Patrol 2). After casting the spell, a blue-white energy halo penetrates from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, then returns to the head and disappears.

The spell summons the raw power within him, granting him the instincts of his ancestors and a +5 competence bonus on initiative and survival checks.

The third one is "original senses" (De 4 Art 4 Patrol 3). After casting the spell, his eyes seemed to have translucent eyes like a cat, shining brightly for a while and then gradually becoming invisible.

This spell summons the primal power of creation, giving him access to the senses of his ancestors, "low-light vision" and a +5 performance bonus to his Listen and Scout skills.

The last one is "Primal Speed" (De 6 Technique 6 Patrol 4). After casting the spell, a series of firelights flew out from his shoulders, poured to the ground and clung to his limbs.

This spell summons the natural reflexes of the hunter and prey in him, giving him a 5-level bonus on reflex saves and enhanced speed.

This also makes Zhao Xu's "Star Cloak" more capable of successful reflection and dodge, 100% avoiding physical damage.

Just looking at these four spells, that's it. The key is that of these four spells, as long as he has two of them at the same time, Zhao Xu can get the barbarian's level 2 professional ability, and it is also the rogue's level 4 ability "intuitive dodge" .

This special ability allows him to make relevant reactions before he is aware of danger. He can take advantage of being caught off guard or facing invisible enemies and use his agility to do so.

If four spells are applied at the same time, he will be able to obtain the barbarian's level 5 professional ability "Proficient Intuitive Dodge". From then on, he will not be flanked by others and can easily deal with enemies in the opposite direction. Therefore, the rogue could no longer attack him by flanking.

If it were just these four spells, Zhao Xu also tried the "Frenzy" spell that required concentration.

This second-ring magic can only increase the morale bonus by 2 points for strength and constitution. It is one level weaker than the 4-point attribute of the genuine violent ability, so Zhao Xu rarely tries it.

As for the subsequent five-ring magic "Courage and Fury", it is a genuine +4 attribute, and it is still a rage without sequelae.

He has just cast the spell version of "Frenzy", and the lines of his exposed arms are all traced at this time, not to mention that he is now 43 Strength and 19 Constitution. Among all Arthur's barbarians, he is also first-class powerful. .

Only some legendary monsters with part-time job as barbarians can surpass him.

Therefore, combined with the "barbarian" temperament brought by the "original combination", it is not surprising that Zhao Xu is considered a barbarian.

Even strictly speaking, a level 20 barbarian has the abilities of "walking like flying", "ultimate rage" (6 times), trap perception +6, damage reduction 5/-, firm will, and proficient intuitive dodge.

Zhao Xu can imitate everything with magic.

He can be more like a "savage" than a savage.

This is the mage's "wide area" foundation, his ability after Zhao Xu discovered the "height".

"I'm not a savage."

Zhao Xu just smiled and shook his head.

He has nothing to show off about his own camp, which is too low-level and low-level.

Now, even if he does not have such thoughts in his heart, the entire top management of Yanan, facing the world of Arthur, which is still under feudal rule and still has powerful divine authority, has actually acquiesced that "the whole world is not the kingdom. With the concept that "the people who lead the land are not the king's subjects", they feel that they are Zhongxia's subjects.

Even though Zhao Xu did not admit it publicly, most residents of Yanan subconsciously believed that Yanan was the country of midsummer.

This is something that cannot be erased by civic education and democratic awareness.

Hearing Zhao Xu's answer, the originally enthusiastic Barbarian player looked embarrassed, but he still enthusiastically invited Zhao Xu to come up and use his figure as a template to tell the students below about the characteristics of Barbarians, and This explains the specific training methods.

At this time, Zhao Xu also happened to observe the current teaching mode of players on the spot, which can be regarded as an investigation.

Therefore, he did not resist at all and cooperated with this teaching as a "barbarian" template.

What's missing is a script to write a "private interview" for him.

But what the students below are thinking about at this moment is the barbarian profession, the most critical and important professional ability - rage.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for the barbarian instructor on the stage to show everyone.

"Don't worry, everyone."

At this time, the barbarian instructor admired Zhao Xu's strong muscle lines and secretly guessed that he was a warrior player with double 18 strength and physical strength. He couldn't help but sympathize with Zhao Xu in his heart.

Even if a player registered an account with 32 talent points on the first day of the game and wanted to upgrade to 18 attribute points, he would still have to pay the high price of exchanging 3 talents for 1 attribute point.

The top attributes of strength and body are 18 points, which means that the remaining mental attributes are 8 points of low energy.

Low charm, low perception, low agility, and low intelligence are almost enough to qualify as a disabled person, which means he is simply stupid.

The barbarian player looked at Zhao Xu's vigorous movements and thought that he had equipment to improve his agility. Then he turned his head and explained to the students.

"Don't think that berserk is a child's play. First of all, when you master this ability at level 1, you only have one chance to be berserk every day. Then the multiplier will increase once at level 4, until it reaches a maximum of 6 times at level 20. .”

Accompanied by the loud voice of the barbarian player, even students studying other professions slowly came closer to listen.

Knowing the barbarian's special abilities and obtaining the ability information means that he can target them in the future.

"Some moments ago, while fighting the undead creatures, I activated the 'Rage' ability. On the spot, my strength and physical attributes were increased by 4 points of morale bonus. At the same time, my will save was also increased by 2 levels, and my defense was increased by 4 points. It has been reduced by about 2 levels.”

"Everyone knows that there are very few ways to improve attributes. This is why players are now in high positions. Even if they do not have professional abilities, they are still in the category of 'superhuman' based on their attributes. So these add up to 8 points of attributes. Strength enhances melee output, and constitution enhances life and toughness saving throws, which often determines the balance of victory, and is also the reason why our barbarians are the most explosive melee profession at low levels."

Everyone who listened to these words instantly seemed to be attracted by the words of this barbarian mentor.

The workers listening on the side couldn't help but think of how brave they would be in certain aspects if they had 4 more points of constitution and 4 points of strength.

Immediately, many men showed understanding smiles.

In just a moment, the barbarian player poured cold water on everyone, "But I also have to tell you the weakness of Fury—"

"It can't last."

"So you can put away your laughter. Not to mention that when we are furious, except for balance, escape, intimidation and riding skills, we barbarians cannot use the skills related to charm, agility, and intelligence, nor can we use the skills that require patience and concentration. . Not to mention casting spells, you can’t even use trigger-type wands, which is often fatal sometimes.”

This sentence also made everyone in the audience nod.

The fierceness of the mage can be seen just by looking at the occupation of the current number one person on earth.

"Furthermore, the duration of the rage is the constitution adjustment plus 3 rounds, so 18 physiques only last 7 rounds and 42 seconds, which can't last even a minute. Not to mention that after the rage ends, we will become tired and our strength and agility will be reduced. At 2 points, you can’t sprint or run, so generally we barbarians can only use our rage ability once in an encounter.”

"This is also the reason why I still have one violent ability left in me."

As these words were spoken, everyone who was obsessed with the violent charm suddenly realized a lot.

"I thought he was going to destroy the world, but I didn't expect that he would be a great man for a few dozen seconds and then wither away."

"It's so embarrassing. This rage must be due to water injection."

Just when the barbarian player was about to retort, suddenly a man wearing a Yharnam militia uniform ran over and shouted: "Mr. Tetsuo, these are your recovery supplies, please use them, and then I will convey them to Next person."

As he spoke, the other party handed over a "Secondary Rejuvenation" wand.

Zhao Xu also glanced at the barbarian players. It was relatively rare for them to use their game IDs when entering Yanan's official position. Most of them honestly registered their real names and then noted their game IDs.

Little did he know that the barbarian Tetsuo rubbed his head in embarrassment, "My real name is Tetsuo."

Then he skillfully waved the "magic wand" in his hand, which was as green as a branch and leaf that had just been picked off, and said casually to the students below: "We just had a battle, and everyone saw that I was covered in glory. "

As he spoke, he pointed to the wounds on his body that had been bandaged and still oozing blood.

Fortunately, the skills of doctors on Earth have not been lost, and most of them have been directly transformed into actual "medical" skills, so first aid on the battlefield is not too serious a problem.

"Everyone also knows that Arthur has a healing spell. Even if you are about to die from a massive bleeding wound, as long as it is not a severed limb, you can be saved by using different levels of 'Treat X Wounds' spells. This is what we are referring to. Modern medicine, which we are so proud of, cannot compare with it, so we really have to admit that magic is powerful in this aspect."

"But it's a pity that Arthur is not like you in the game. A team of four is equipped with a priest as standard. Even if there is a standard equipment of this level, the healing spell slots are not enough. So many times, the injured We can't recover health immediately. Most people can only rely on lying in bed to recuperate, recovering 1-2 HP a day, and just lingering."

"But now, it's different." As he spoke, the barbarian mentor raised the wand in his hand, although he had used this thing before.

But can't resist now that it's free!

"This is the recovery item that our Yanan distributed to the participants in the war - the secondary rejuvenation wand. Using it is like receiving the effect of the first-level divine spell 'secondary rejuvenation'. During the 10+x rounds that the spell lasts ( x=caster level, capped at level 5), I will gain the ability of 'Quick Healing 1'."

"That is, it automatically restores 1 HP every round. So this wand can restore 11 HP each time. After two times, my HP will be full."

"I tell you this because the market price of this wand is 750 gold coins and can be used 50 times. This method can only restore life after a battle. It costs 15 gold coins at a time and restores 11 HP points in 11 seconds. For every 1 HP The price is 1.36 gold coins."

At this time, the students below and even the craftsmen around them took a deep breath.

Because the wages they paid in one day were less than 1 gold coin, which was the same even in Arthur's other countries.

Generally, those who are trained are paid 3 silver coins a day, and those who are not trained are even paid 1 silver coin.

"Speaking of the fact that 1 HP requires 1.36 gold coins, you finally know how painful it is to work hard for a month, but you can't even buy the price of a rejuvenation spell." As he said this, the barbarian player looked at everyone with amusement.

Then he waved his wand and began to remove the "bandage" on his body, instantly revealing the bloody wounds inside that had been attacked by the undead creatures.

Just under the "green light" inspired by magic, these wounds were healed on the spot, and the scars even healed and fell off on the spot.

The process of shedding skin and growing new skin, which originally took more than a month, was completed in just one minute, which is even more miraculous than the top-notch beauty needles in the hospital.

"On the battlefield, if you can't wait for more than 1 minute for these 11 rounds and need to restore your life urgently, you can only drink potions."

As he spoke, the barbarian player took out a small glass bottle that he had collected and maintained well from his pocket, and shouted: "This bottle of "potion for treating minor injuries" can instantly and randomly restore 2-9 HP (1D8) after drinking it. +1), but the price is 50 gold coins, which is equivalent to 5.5-25 gold coins per 1 HP."

"But if you don't use the Lesser Rejuvenation Wand after the war, you'll have to lie down for a month before taking risks. If you don't drink this healing potion during the battle, you might just lie there forever."

At this time, Barbarian player Tetsuo showed a meaningful smile, "Taking risks is essentially burning money. Are you really mentally prepared to become a professional?"

As he spoke, the barbarian Tetsuo noticed that Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention to the "precious battlefield material" healing potion in his hand during the whole process. He understood that the other party must have good products, so he leaned over and whispered, "Companion, if you There are also good products in this field, you might as well take them out and show them to these newcomers.”
