Chapter 109 FireWire Practice (Addition)
"Boy, what you said is really strange. It's rare that someone is so kind and offers to help. Why should we refuse?" Flint was puzzled.
"Roger, don't play around with me! Tell me the truth, who is that friend of yours?" Mayor Tyndale asked angrily, "Did you bring another lizard man home again? ?”
"Hey...it's not a lizardman this time." Roger smiled a little guilty, "It's...it's a gray marsupial."
Joan glanced at Roger in surprise, worried that it would be too hasty for him to reveal Gray's identity now. Can the mayor tolerate a gray marsupial staying in Delin Town?
Jason Tyndall and Flint Anvil looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
"The lizardman is fine, but the gray bag beast...is it too dangerous?" Flint stroked his bushy beard and muttered, "Is this kind of low-intelligence monster able to distinguish friend from foe? Will it go berserk?" Hurt your own people?"
"Grey won't hurt his own people, I promise!"
Joan solemnly promised. Roger nodded in agreement.
Mayor Tyndale still hesitated. Instead, the old dwarf thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "Our town of Delin has reached the moment of life and death. It is always good to have more combat power. No matter how dangerous the gray bag beast is, it is more dangerous than the 'devil son' Kotal? If we refuse to take it in, it will be worse if it goes to the enemy!"
These words really touched Jason Tyndall's heart, and finally made up his mind, and said to Joan and Roger solemnly: "Tell your gray bag beast friend for me, welcome to join our big family! If it can do its part in the battle against the lizardman bandits, if our homeland survives, I will, on behalf of the town council, award this friend the title of 'honorary townsman' of Derlin after the war, so that Get it settled in this town."
"Wow, this is really good!" Roger exclaimed excitedly.
"Mr. Tyndale, Mr. Flint, I thank you for your tolerance on Gray's behalf." Joan bowed deeply to the mayor and the old dwarf gratefully.
At this time, there were hurried footsteps behind him, and Dick rushed back sweating profusely, holding a sheepskin scroll in both hands.
Jason Tyndall took the scroll and handed it to Joan with an encouraging smile.
Joan quickly checked the scroll after thanking him, his eyes overflowing with surprise.
The two arcane scrolls are indeed of extremely high "tactical" value, one is "Level 1 Monster Summoning", and the other is "Grease". Both are 1st-level spells that he can learn now. It's just in time.
Joan's mind was completely attracted by these two scrolls, and without delay for a second, he immediately said goodbye to Flint and the Tyndall family, and hurried home to study spells.
Sitting at the desk after arriving home, the excitement calmed down, and Joan realized a very serious problem. The two scrolls were placed in front of him, and it would take a whole morning to copy them all into the spell book. Even if he raced against time to study and study, it would take at least two days to master these two first-level arcane spells. However, the lizardman The bandits might not leave enough time for him to learn spells. It is unwise to learn two spells at the same time in such an urgent environment where war may break out at any time. It is necessary to choose one of the two spells to learn first, and the other Can only temporarily give up.
This is really a difficult choice.
Joan first picked up the scroll of "Level 1 Monster Summoning Technique" and browsed it roughly. This spell belongs to the school of conjuration and is the lowest level of all "summoning" spells. It can summon a low-level monster and obey the command of the caster. There are many types of monsters that can be summoned, such as a horse, a wolf, a dolphin, and an eagle, all kinds of monsters that run on the ground, swim in the water, and fly in the sky. In addition, monsters such as dire rats, Rare monsters such as giant centipedes and fire beetles. Different summoned creatures have different specialties, which correspond to the different needs of the caster.
It can be seen that summoning spells have flexible and changeable tactical value, which seems to meet Joan's current needs. However, Joan also clearly realized the shortcomings of this spell. First of all, the summoned creatures are not real flesh and blood, but the manifestation of magic power, and their existence time is proportional to the level of the caster. Joan is a level 2 mage (the level of mythology does not affect the casting level), and the summoned creatures can only last for a short 2 minutes at most, and then they will disappear by themselves.
If the summoned creature is strong enough, a duration of two minutes is acceptable, but after all, this is only the lowest level of summoning spells, and the monsters summoned are relatively weak. A horse or a wolf with a lifespan of only two minutes can be used on the battlefield. How much does it work? Joan was deeply suspicious of this.
Shaking his head lightly, Joan put down the scroll of "Level 1 Monster Summoning" and unfolded the scroll of "Grease". In comparison, this spell is simpler and more practical.
Grease is also a conjuration 1st-level arcane spell. After casting the spell, it can create a large pool of greasy grease at a designated location, covering an area of up to 300 square feet. The grease lasts for a maximum of 1 minute, and then disappears on its own. All creatures that set foot in the greasy area will involuntarily slip on the soles of their feet. If they cannot maintain their balance, they will fall heavily, or even struggle and roll on the slippery ground, unable to get up for a while.
In addition to being used to create slippery traps, the "greasy technique" can also attach grease to the surface of an object, making it slippery. For example, if you cast this spell on a weapon in someone's hand, it may cause the weapon to slip out of your hand. Casting the "greasy spell" requires a combination of spell-casting materials. Fortunately, it is not a rare item, a small piece of pigskin or butter is enough.
Joan compared "Level 1 Monster Summoning" and "Greasy", and finally decided to give priority to learning "Greasy".
After making a decision, Joan put aside distracting thoughts and immersed himself in the fun of spell learning. First, write the "greasy spell" from the scroll to your own spell book, and then interpret it word by word. He was so focused on the study of spells that he forgot about things outside of him until a gust of cold wind blew outside the window, making him sneezed twice in a row. He looked up at the open window and was surprised to find that the night was dark and The time of the day passed unconsciously like this.
Joan got up and closed the window, endured the hunger and sat back at the desk, forcing himself to focus on spell research. There is no shortage of food at home, and he is not really too busy to squeeze out the time to nibble on bread. In fact, he deliberately keeps himself in the current state of hunger.
