Chapter 392 Gray Robe Wizard. ‘Arsonist Type I’ (Two in One)
After seeing the scene in front of him, Alfonso's pupils shrank slightly: "George, the robes those people are wearing are just students, right?"
"Well sweat more and bleed less."
In fact, George sometimes feels that the wizards are too harsh. The oldest of these selected apprentices is only sixteen years old, and many of them have practiced magic for less than two years.
The growth cycle of wizards is much longer than that of knights. Although magic bacteria can greatly increase their mana, knowledge needs to be reserved - of course, once an apprentice grows into a wizard in the special training in the shelter, Its combat effectiveness is also extremely terrifying. He is by no means the kind of guy from Bishui City who can be easily dealt with by the ‘armed police’ (old soldiers).
So when one of them died, George felt heartbroken.
But as Roosegaarde said, seedlings are best pruned. When you get older, many things will only be suitable for scientific research if you develop a habit - but some people are born to be warriors. Not suitable for research.
The gate was opened amidst the noise of the zombies, and the sound of the collision of iron tools was masked by the corpses, but the apprentices could still discern the situation from the zombies' voices. The body moved very quickly.
The instructor is extremely strict, but he is never stingy in spending. Although these apprentices are just newcomers, they all seem to have a physical constitution of 2 or above.
These apprentices came to the battlefield for the first time, but they faced the situation calmly. They sometimes dispersed and sometimes gathered together in the mist, and it seemed that they could easily identify the direction of their teammates among the corpses by relying on the fluctuations of magic power.
Overall, the six people were divided into three groups, with two people in each group. There were two groups of people standing on each side, moving around in a small area. The last group of people were walking around the venue,
The two people seemed to be escaping in a hurry, running around, but their actions had a track, and they were extremely agile, no less than the gray robe knights. Whenever the faster zombies chased after them, they could be cleverly killed by them. .
The man who was mainly responsible for killing the elite zombies was a man holding a short sword in one hand and a short stick in the other. The other woman kept throwing some powder on the ground, seeming to lure the zombies. When these two people passed by their teammates, the gathered teammates sprayed out scorching flames from their hands, shot through more than ten meters, and directly enveloped the zombies. Large swaths of zombies continued to fall, and only those in the center were still running.
A strange scene appeared. The zombies in the flames did not pounce on the caster, but continued to chase the two people crazily. It seemed that the things thrown by the apprentice were extremely tempting to them. It even makes the zombies completely ignore other people.
The instructor couldn't help but nodded when he saw this scene, and he recorded it on the score sheet. In this exercise, all items were prepared by the apprentices themselves, which means that the potion was prepared by the student himself!
After the two seducers walked for a period of time, they began to walk repeatedly according to the established trajectory. And those zombies seemed to be isolated in a passage due to the influence of the medicine. They only walked along that track and never took a step outside.
The apprentices cleared away the zombies in an orderly manner, and the situation in the chaotic field gradually became clearer. However, at this moment, the female apprentice responsible for luring zombies was attacked by a scavenger hiding among the corpses!
At this moment, the apprentice who was attacked by the ghoul rolled directly on the ground in the howling wind as if he had eyes on the back of his head. The ponytail was scattered in mid-air, looking very embarrassed, but it dodged this insidious blow! The other apprentice, after being stunned for a moment, emitted a bright light from his hand.
The group of corpses and scavengers behind were confused by the strong light.
The female apprentice who rolled on the ground panicked and turned around one after another with magic spells. It seemed that she started preparing spells the moment she sensed the enemy. Then she saw a black wave shining out from her clasped hands. After the scavenger touched the black wave, it was cut into two pieces!
This is the famous masterpiece of 'Black Slash'. After modification and simplification, it has become a classic magic in the hands of apprentices. Its effect is that it sings extremely fast, is extremely powerful, and consumes a lot of energy. Although the simplified version has low penetrating power and can generally only deal with a single target, if the apprentices study it carefully enough, its power is enough to cause fatal wounds to the soldier spider!
There is not just one scavenger, there are seven or eight in total. At the beginning, the apprentices could still cope with it. Some small tricks like 'Restraining the Hands and Legs' and 'Hanging the Golden Bell Upside Down' were also very effective against the scavengers. But as the magic power was exhausted, the two scavengers and the remaining twenty or so zombies beat the apprentices into confusion. Seeing that a murder was about to occur, the monk finally intervened.
I saw a golden lightning flashing from the sky, dispersing a small area of nearby fog. Immediately after the lightning killed a scavenger, a large golden lightning nova appeared on the ground and exploded. A piece of holy light.
The zombies that were affected immediately ignited flames all over their bodies and lay on the ground. Some zombies did not die immediately, but they were unable to move due to this weird 'forbidden mantra' until they were completely swallowed by the flames and turned into Fly ash.
After the apprentices were exposed to the lightning and holy light, they also lay on the ground, but the wounds on their bodies were purified and began to heal. It seems that those lightning novas are only effective against evil spirits, and do not cause much harm to the human body. But seeing the apprentices spitting white foam in pain, it seems that they are also very uncomfortable.
Another scavenger ghost was also named by the instructor. He stretched out his hand and pointed, a black ripple flashed, and the scavenger ghost was broken into several sections.
The monsters were instantly wiped out by the intervention of the two red-robed guys in the shelter.
The instructor did not say much, and a disappointment appeared on his cold face. Then he went to a room in the shooting range.
He believed that this lesson should let the apprentices understand that no matter what kind of enemy they face, they should be cautious-if they are not in a hurry to clean up the zombies, but first explore the enemy situation, they can name the scavenger ghost first. Even if they consume more magic, they can use the long sword with some tricks to deal with the remaining zombies.
Or if they save some magic and don't squander it so recklessly, then the last trump card left in their hands can also kill all the last monsters.
Although magic like Black Wave is extremely lethal, it consumes too much. To deal with the scavengers, 'Black Slash' believes that using tricks is actually enough to kill them with AOE.
This exercise was extremely disappointing to the instructors. But it was extremely shocking in the eyes of Alfonso and others.
Six people solved hundreds of zombies and five or six scavengers. For such a thing, the Griffin Knights dare not pat their chests - the Silver Griffins are almost the same!
It can be said that they are enough to enter the Silver Griffin Corps or the court - many so-called university scholars are even in the category of witch doctors!
But in the wizard tower in the shelter, how many such 'grey robe wizards' have I seen today? In this shelter, these powerful wizards are just apprentices.
In fact, there are not so many apprentices who really meet the standards, because this not only requires magic fungi and various potions, but also requires the accumulation of various knowledge. At present, there are only more than a thousand people who have reached the level of gray robes and above in the hands of Anthony and Rosgerd. And most of them are engaged in scientific research.
Compared with the knights of the shelter, the wizard group is on a bright road paved by everyone, but it will take some time to develop.
At present, the main wizard combat power on the battlefield is the blood descendants - the curse carried by the blood descendants allows them to directly touch the shadow element. On this basis, with a little learning, it is easy to reach the level beyond the apprentice.
With the help of various potions, many blood descendants have gradually emerged, and many blood descendants from the Black Pearl Manor have their own magic foundation in the study and research of the library. Among them, people like Lena who followed Tanya originally knew a lot of black magic, and later entered Anthony's laboratory and became Rona's junior sister.
Although Anthony cannot beat any black wizard, he is a truly forbidden wizard who graduated from a professional school. His level of magical knowledge and literacy is extremely high. Compared with him, the old wizards such as ‘Huanluan’ in the Resting Birds, who gathered from all over the world, are still the kind of ‘wild way’ who rely on magic talent and luck to become successful.
It can even be said that he and Rosgerd are enough to be teachers of the Resting Birds in terms of magic theory.
Therefore, many old blood descendants have gradually reached the level of the Resting Birds with various experiences and the guidance of forbidden wizards.
As for various wizards, compared with those ‘Grand Templar Knights’ or ‘Templar Assassins’ with abnormal resistance, they are just bandits fighting with armed police with bare hands. So for so many years, wizards have never dared to explode thorns on this land ruled by the Holy Court.
“Alfonso, let Angel take you to the shooting range over there to play first, I will come in a while. After you buy these weapons in my hand, the people in your hands will definitely be better than these apprentices.”
After saying that, George patted Alfonso on the shoulder and walked towards the room of ‘Black Slash’.
That guy often stays at the shooting range, and usually teaches students here. He is very familiar with all kinds of new products, and can be said to be a tester.
He always felt that Anthony's previous expression was a bit strange, and he had to test the bottom with "Black Slash" and others first.
Don't really come up with something he has never seen before, or he will be embarrassed on the spot
Alfonso saw here the "magic wand" similar to the one that sprayed fire dragons in the hands of apprentices. And the spray distance is farther than the magic in the hands of those apprentices!
Looking at the armor that was sprayed by "Angel" more than 20 steps away and was covered with flames and gradually burned red, Alfonso nodded and said repeatedly: "That's it! It's this "Dragon Breath"!
The scene where the apprentices instantly cleared dozens of zombies echoed in front of him. This thing can make a group of zombies lose their combat effectiveness in a moment, and the flames will stick to the object. In Alfonso's opinion, this thing can be used as a strategic weapon!
Just imagine, when the lords are surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies, as long as they have this thing in their hands, they can quickly turn the area below into a sea of fire! And the most important thing is that this thing can be used for attacking and clearing out the zombies - this is a world of difference compared to finding firewood in advance and then attracting zombies to rush into the flames!
"George, why can this wand stick for so long without spraying kerosene?" Alfonso fiddled with another 'C-arsonist' in his hand, which was as tall as a person, and couldn't help asking curiously.
George opened his mouth, but didn't say a word for a long time, and finally looked at 'Black Slash'.
He was also very curious - the flamethrower that he and Anthony had mentioned was not like this.
Black Slash's face was no longer cold at this time. He stood beside the lord and smiled amiably.
It's just that this black wizard is not very good at showing a smile, which makes his smile uglier than crying.
"My Lords, 'Arsonist' is actually developed based on a magic that 'Firebird' is good at. And this magic originally came from the Balrog." 'Black Slash' picked up the big magic wand and patiently explained: "In essence, whether it is magic or the magic wand, what is released is not kerosene or magic power. Instead, it changes the magic field. So the things that are 'sprayed' are not ignited by the flames, but the structure of the fire element in the body changes and spontaneously ignites. So the power is more powerful than kerosene and burns faster."
"However, I want to remind you. Many red and black magics are not afraid of high temperatures and flames. So if the enemy is a demon, it is only effective against inferior demons and certain demon species, but it is the nemesis of the undead." 'Black Slash' Allen explained the pros and cons to the customer clearly: "Also, look at the spell here."
At this point, 'Black Slash' Allen took the magic wand. Pointing to the spells on the wand, he said, "It's called 'Dark Penetration', which means that this elemental flame is still effective against blasphemers. The monsters that you can't deal with with kerosene are just dry wood covered with grease in front of this 'arsonist' - deadly to corruption-level creatures, effective against blasphemy-level creatures, so it is C-level."
"Also, it could have been made smaller and lighter." The dark wizard Allen handed the wand back to the boss respectfully: "But people who don't know magic are prone to hurting themselves. If you know magic, you can change the magic field to make the flame turn, splash, and spread - even jump to ignite certain targets!"
Speaking of this, Black Slash used the wand to point at a target 20 meters away. An apprentice sandwiched between Black Slash and the target covered his head in fear when he saw this scene.
However, the target 20 meters away was ignited in the air! No flame appeared in the middle! Then, under the wizard's spell, the flame on the target spread and burned the surrounding area.
Obviously, in the hands of some magic experts, this kind of wand can be used in various ways.
"Alan, adjust this wand to a setting of no flame within three meters." George told Alan: "It is meaningless to use flames to deal with zombies at such a distance, but it is easy to hurt the user."
Alan nodded, and Angel wrote it down beside him. In fact, although Alan is familiar with the testing of various wands because he is often at the shooting range. But it is up to Angel and others to transform this kind of thing.
At this time, the armor that was sprayed once at the beginning has begun to melt from red, and at this time, the flame on it has gradually become smaller. Its power is equivalent to pouring a small bucket of kerosene, but the 'arsonist' only sprayed for a few seconds in total.
"How long can this wand be used?" Alfonso asked a more concerned question.
"As for lifespan, this type I arsonist can carry thirty magic gems in its lifetime. Each gem lasts for thirty minutes. But I suggest that the continuous spraying should not exceed 15 seconds each time. Otherwise, it will greatly affect the lifespan." Allen explained: "According to the number of zombies that the apprentices just cleared, if hundreds of zombies gathered together, spraying for five or six seconds is enough - within two minutes, they will turn into ashes."
George patted Alfonso on the shoulder and took over the conversation and said: "Alfonso, this is specially designed for you to clean up the source of disaster. You should know its significance to the source of disaster."
Alfonso nodded. With more than a dozen such wands, basically a castle does not have to worry about the siege of zombies. Clearing is no longer a problem!
Facing the tens of thousands of zombies surrounding the castle, this kind of "flamethrower" can't take thirty minutes at all. In more than ten minutes, the group of zombies below will be a sea of fire!
As for cleaning up some zombies and scavengers crowded in the manor walls or castles (such as the situation in Hongzhuang Castle), you no longer have to fight with monsters in such a narrow terrain.
After burning a certain passage, you can go in again after the flames go out and clean up the corpses
How many people will be saved from death? ! The impact on morale is also huge! With this thing, those timid lords dare to face monsters.
