Chapter 165: Draft (Ⅴ)

"That tall and tall boy, the younger son of General Charles Gates, heard that he had followed his elder brother to receive strict military training in the military camp. If he had not accidentally awakened the talent of Austrian law, he should have accepted it at the military school. Knight training."
Thomas whispered the origin of Edward Gates to Joan.
"Edward, this kid probably stayed in the barracks for a long time, and he always showed the officer's profile. He couldn't allow others to stand out from him, or see others better than him. In the future, you should be more careful and try not to stimulate him."
"I never provoke others." Joan looked serious.
"Even if you don't want to cause trouble, you can't help others find fault!" Thomas half-jokingly sighed. "Genius is like a beacon. It always emits light in the darkness, causing groups of moths to harass."
Joan didn't say anything, staring closely at Edward Gates, the son of the general, guessing what kind of spell he was going to show.
The first spell displayed by Edward Gates was "Magic Missile", which did not surprise Joan, after all, he was also good at the same spell.
However, when Edward released two purple spheres of light at random, dragged two arcs and whistled across the sky, hitting the target at a distance of 100 feet at different angles at the same time, Joan couldn't help but give him this superb cast The skills clapped.
"Huh? Did this classmate perform a ring of Arcane "Magic Missiles"? How to send two missiles at the same time?"
Confused whispers came from the crowd. Joan didn't need to look back to know that the other party was just an elementary apprentice who knew a little about 0-ring tricks, otherwise he would not ask such naive questions.
"As the caster level increases, the number of magic missiles will also increase. It is said that up to five missiles can be fired at the same time, and can even attack five different targets separately! Although Mr. Gates is a 2nd-level wizard, he specializes in Fine'plastic energy school', when casting plastic energy spells such as magic missiles, an additional mage level is added, which is equivalent to a 3rd-level mage, so it can fire two missiles at the same time."
Someone gave meticulous explanations, prompting elementary school students to send out enviable admiration again.
"Look at these non-existent children, is this also a fuss?" Thomas shook his head and sneered.
Joan ripped the corner of his mouth without saying anything.
If he didn’t get a surprise encounter in these three months, he was lucky to pick up the
tears of gods
, and then drink smart spring water under the guidance of Ilminsur and Mimir, I am afraid that it is now a little understood. The juggling elementary apprentice witnessed Edward Gates slamming two magical missiles between his dashing hands, wouldn’t he be shocked and praised? What's the difference with the "fuss" and "children of no interest" that Thomas despised?
The destiny of man is really unpredictable.
Just when Joan secretly felt the fate of impermanence, Edward Gates on the playground had already begun to show the second spell.
"Untúpa!"
The thin and tall young mage coldly drank a Quenya character representing
covering and protection
, and the invisible magic net distributed in the space around him twisted and deformed, and the magic thread forming this small piece of magic net suddenly glowed and changed. It was clearly visible, and twisted and intertwined at an indescribable speed. After just three seconds, a chaotic hemp was woven into a magical, translucent jacket, which was closely attached to Edward and scratched. Wrapped tightly to the feet, providing him with an impeccable overall defense.
"Mage armor?" Joan guessed in a low voice.
"Yes, this is the strongest "magic armor" of all 1st arcane spells," Thomas crossed his arms across his chest, reluctantly affirming Edward's spell-casting skills, "the mage armor is actually It is an invisible force field enchantment. The defensive power is comparable to wearing a set of real scale armor. What is more valuable is that the mage armor has no weight, so it will not be as heavy, cumbersome, and hinder the casting action as the real armor. Very practical defensive spells, all first-level mages will give priority to learning "magic armor", but like Edward is not so skilled, at least I can not do it."
Joan heard his face slightly hot. Thomas said that "Mage Armor" is a compulsory course for level 1 mages, and he is already at level 2, but he has not been exposed to this basic spell, which is a bit of a shame.
The third spell Edward displays is called "Shield", which is similar to "Mage Armor" and is a spell used to strengthen the mage's own defense. It's just that this spell creates not a magic armor, but a tower shield composed of a force field, which provides exactly the same defense power as a real tower shield.
In addition, "shield" has two major advantages over real tower shields.
The first is that this translucent force field shield has no weight. If the same floating wall floats directly in front of the mage, the force field shield will follow wherever the owner goes, neither adding weight nor holding, so that the master To liberate his hands and calmly cast spells.
The second advantage of "shield" is its "force field" attribute.
The solid tower shield made of wood and metal can only resist the real swords and arrows, but it cannot resist the force field spells such as "magic missiles", nor can it prevent the incorporeal ghosts such as "ghosts" from approaching themselves; The shield created by "Shield" can perfectly defend against the attacks of magic missiles and incorporeal undead, especially the former, making this spell the best choice for the duel of the mage-you dare not open the "shield" "The opponent dare to use the endless magic missiles to blast you into a sieve!
The profession of mage is actually very contradictory, both powerful and fragile.
The great thing is that there are countless spells to cast, and heaven can do everything. The weakness is that the mage needs to spend all his energy to learn knowledge and study spells.
In order to ensure the flexibility of the spell-casting gestures, the weak wizard usually cannot support the heavy armor, let alone waste a hand to hold the shield, so his defense is extremely weak. If someone is approached, he loses the space to calmly cast the spell. The situation becomes dangerous.
In order to make up for the shortcomings in defense, the ancient wizards have created many spells that specifically strengthen their defenses. The two most basic and practical one-level spells are "Mage Armor" and "Shield".
As Thomas said, "Mage Armor" and "Shield Skill" are compulsory courses for all mages, and they must be safer than anything. Only by protecting yourself first can you deal with the enemy.
Joanne neither knows "mage armor" nor "shield".
This is not because he is independent, but because he has no chance to learn these two very important defensive spells.
In fact, Joan suffered from a lack of teaching materials and mentors from the first day of exposure to magic.
Compared with Edward Gates, a noble young master who learned magical knowledge step by step with a tutor from a young age, Joan is like a hungry beggar. What kind of spell can he learn to learn? How can he be selective?
The spells he mastered were numerous and complicated, and he did not form a system, which precisely reflected that he was from Nojiko.
