Chapter 458: Faye's Difficult Road

No one has moved it all the time, so I posted it on my own, please point out if it does not meet the specifications

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

January 20th. Rody, who stayed in Houlier City for two days, was not idle. Although the weather was cold, the city's "Mage Association" and the library were not closed, so he, who has the "Element Summoner" profession, was in the city. I ran a lot of times, took advantage of the convenience of the "main city" to buy a lot of materials for mages to cast spells, and luckily "scooted" two new skills.

On this continent, "element masters" also have the ability to "summon elements". In my impression, after the level is increased, there are so many situations in the team that summon "water element" and "fire element" to assist in the dungeon, which is not surprising at all. And now the "Element Summoner" he owns is obviously similar to the "Element Master", so after trying it, he discovered a rule: the skill books that the "Element Master" can learn can basically be learned by himself.

This kind of "compatibility" made him very happy, but the annoyance that came with it also made him a little surprised: "magic" is not as simple as imagined at all.

Roddy originally thought that "casting a spell" was just a command. At least the skill of "Witcher" is such a process: the skill is activated, the body responds, and the skill is released.

However, when he bought the spell-casting materials and cast spells according to the skill instructions, he realized that...the "system" would not assist spell-casting at all!

The skills of the "Demon Hunter" do not have "casting time" or "casting materials". Fundamentally speaking, they are more like the application of the body's instincts, but "magic"...is another matter entirely.

The production of "spell-casting materials" itself is complicated and difficult. If you want to cast a spell successfully, you can't make mistakes in any of the spells you recite, the gestures you make, and the images you build in your mind. In severe cases, he encountered a backlash, and his head hurt like it was about to explode.

So Rody smiled wryly at the pile of discarded spell-casting materials in front of him.

"It's really much harder than I imagined..."

At this time, Rody realized that he had relied too much on the "system" before. When the "system assistance" could not save him the steps of casting spells, these shortcomings were immediately exposed.

However, he did not give up because of this, but redoubled his efforts to learn—by using a little invention of Solomon, he finally managed to cast the "Hand of the Mage" after a day of trying, and grabbed a book of two About a catty of magic books.

Luo Di felt relieved about this: at least he can learn things quickly by himself!

In addition to the basic skill "Mage Hand", the "Mage Armor" and "Less Flame Orb" that Rody learned by staying up all night reading in the past two days are also displayed in the "Skill Column". But looking at the effects of these skills, he really couldn't laugh or cry...

"Mage Armor" Level 1

Cost: 80 mana

Requires: spellcasting ingredients, spellcasting gesture

Effect: Condenses the armor around the body with mana, increasing the armor value by 400 points.

Duration: 10 minutes.

"Secondary Flame Orb" Level 1

Cost: 60 mana

Requires: spellcasting ingredients, spellcasting gesture

Casting time: 3 seconds

Effect: Gather fire elements and attack the enemy with flame beads,

Damage 150 points.

Attack Range: 15 yards

These two skills are really useless. The armor value provided by "Mage Armor" is about the same as that of Roddy's leather pants, and the attack method of "Secondary Flame Orb"... Seriously, take it It might be more appropriate to have a bonfire.

But even so, Roddy still chose to study honestly - when he realized that his spell foundation was not solid enough, he knew that what he had to do was to work steadily and "start from scratch".

These few skills sound like they are completely useless, but if you can't even master this kind of thing, you might as well give up the profession of "Elemental Summoner" as soon as possible.

"Fairy, Faye... You have to be a jackass for three years before you can become a master. The history of three years of blood and tears is really no joke..."

After tidying up the leftovers of the experimental materials, Rody began to write records in his notebook: one part was about his understanding of magic, and the other part was about recording his headaches.

In the past, every time he used a skill, his head would hurt. At first, he didn't get used to it, but later he got used to the pain. However, after he got the profession of "Element Summoner", Rody found that his headache was a little bit worse. Improvement... At least the degree is much lighter than before. Of course, whether this is related to the increase in the frequency of casting spells is unknown to Rody. What he has to do now is to "quantify" the degree of pain and record the number of times. After a long period of recording, he will see if there is any pattern.

After staying in Hollier City for two days, Rody felt that it was time for him to leave. After all, Elson really had a lot of things to worry about.

"Roddy! The sun is finally out!"

Sally's excited voice came from outside the door, and soon the Duke ran into the house like a bird. Seeing that Rody was closing the book, he asked curiously, "What are you writing?"

"It's nothing, it's just spellcasting records."

Rody smiled and was about to put the notebook away. But Sally ran over to rush to read it. Rody was worried that she would see his record about headaches, so he quickly grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble, that... I have a gift for you."

"what?"

Sally stood still all of a sudden, staring at Rody with sparkling eyes, completely forgetting about the notebook.

Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, put away the notebook calmly, and said in a low voice, "It's not good to say it, come—close your eyes."

The Duchess didn't know what to think of, she closed her eyes blushing, and her breathing became slightly rapid: "Okay...Okay, I closed it."

Rody didn't speak, and took out a ring-shaped gemstone from his pocket.

This gem is called "The Wrath of the Balrog". Although it looks like a ring, it actually belongs to the category of "magic props". It can be put in a pocket or worn on your fingers. ring, and chose it as a gift for Sally.

The equipment that can be placed in Solomon's treasure room is naturally not ordinary. This piece of "Wrath of the Balrog" is made of a piece of "Elemental Essence" that truly belongs to the elemental lord. It is shiny and the rhythm of the elements is solid. It stores a high-level "Balrog's Breath" in its interior. Powery Roddy can't imagine it at all just by looking at the description, but it shouldn't be a problem to instantly kill an enemy below level 40. What's more... this piece of equipment can pass through the magic crystal. The power is "charged" and can theoretically be used an unlimited number of times.

The masters/mages at the peak of the high elves each carried at least seven or eight similar "magic storage items" because they were more effective, faster and more practical than scrolls. This piece of "Broken Demon's Wrath" was regarded as top-quality at the beginning, but now, it can no longer be described as "high-quality"-in today, when the high elves' "magic props" manufacturing technology is lost, this ring is completely It can be called "priceless treasure".

Rody chose it for Sally's safety, of course, the shape of the "ring" is also an important factor. Although technical geeks are not sensitive to "romantic", but they have never eaten pork and seen pigs running, right?

He picked up Sally's slender and white fingers, thought for a while, and put the "Wrath of the Balrog" on his ring finger.

"Okay, you can open your eyes. I've been picking this ring for a long time, and I always think it's the most suitable for you. I've written down the activation spell on paper. You must write it down, because it's not—— eh?"

Roddy was satisfied with the size he chose, but when he raised his head, the words got stuck in his mouth.

Because Sally was crying.

Tears dripped down her cheeks, she stared at Roddy with tears in her eyes, and raised her hand slightly: "Big villain, you tied me with it, and you will never let go, do you hear me?"

Luo Di was startled, and immediately realized that putting a ring on a girl's ring finger seemed to be the rhythm of a "marriage proposal", but he didn't hesitate about it, and immediately raised his hand and said:

"I swear by the glory of Elson City Lord and Baron Efta, I will never let go, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Hate!"

Sally wept with joy, hugged Rody and gave a long kiss.

This kiss lasted for a long time, until she was short of breath and her little face was flushed before she reluctantly parted - Sally lowered her head and stared at the "ring", only feeling that the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. The luster of "Elemental Essence" is not comparable to that of ordinary gems. Although Rody didn't say its value, she also understands that this thing is absolutely rare. But what she likes is not only the item itself, but the deeper meaning behind it.

But the more this happened, the more Sally understood that Rody was about to leave. She sank for a moment, and then she took the initiative to ask, "When are you leaving?"

Roddy nodded: "This afternoon, the arrangements in Elson City should be almost in progress. Many things need to be accelerated. I always feel... Orcs are not so easy to be honest."

"Okay, okay, you are much busier than me, but I heard that Elson City has taken in a lot of refugees this winter, which has caused some nobles to drop a lot of tax next year, and some people even clamored to fight you Woolen cloth."

Luo Di naturally knew the reason, and smiled: "Where those refugees want to go has nothing to do with me. I have legs growing on my body. Can I be blamed for this?"

"Of course I don't blame you. I think it's your beautiful 'staff'?"

Sally bit the word "staff" very hard. After hearing this, Rody didn't know what she meant? He reached out and knocked her on the head: "I've been thinking about this mess all day long. I probably only stayed in Elson City for two months, so the border must be well monitored during this time..."

"Oh, you've said it so many times, my ears are callused." Sally said disgusted, but she held Roddy tightly. She suddenly wanted to talk about "Fu Thorium Mine" and "Mine ", but thinking that everything has not been settled, she suppressed the words, thinking that she would surprise Roddy after a few months.

The two sat next to each other, feeling each other's warmth. In this somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, Sally looked down at the ring on her fingertip, and suddenly said, "Roddy... Tell me, when will we get married?"
