Chapter 1133 Secondary Spiritual Barrier
Joan bid farewell to Captain Stone and four friends, and hurried back to his barracks.
He made a trick, lit the candlestick, carefully placed the "Topaz Amulet" on the simple desk, then took out a pen filled with "Deep Sea Squid Ink", and drew the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the surface of the amulet.
As he expected, the spell attached to the topaz amulet was successfully analyzed, and a set of spell configurations were generated in the midair above the amulet.
After a little observation, Joan discovered that it was a 3-ring protection school spell called "Secondary Mind Barrier".
Next, he spent half an hour in-depth research on the configuration of the spell, and analyzed the function of the spell.
"Secondary Mind Barrier", as Joan guessed before, is a spell specially used to resist mental attacks and mind magic.
Specifically, the subject can be completely immune to all mind-affecting spells below the 3rd level, or supernatural mind effects of no higher than 10 energy levels, and the duration of the spell is proportional to the caster level.
The so-called "mind" effects refer to those spells or supernatural abilities that need to break through the target's will defense line to be effective.
Most of the spells of the "Confusion School" are mind-affecting effects, such as "Hypnotism", "Charm Human", "Dominate Insects", "Laughter", "Human Immobilization" and so on.
There is no lack of such spells in other schools, such as the "advanced internal vision" and "detection" of the prophecy school, the "fear" of the necromancer school, and the "colorful spray" of the illusion school, all of which need to break through the subject first. Only when the opponent's will defense line is established can the spell's intended effect be exerted; on the contrary, if the opponent's will defense line cannot be broken, the spell will fail.
The "Secondary Mind Barrier" is specially used to restrain this kind of mind-affecting spells.
It should be noted that it does not mean that once the "secondary mind barrier" is blessed on the body, it will unconditionally block all mind effects.
In fact, this spell will only block those harmful mind effects. For beneficial mind effects, such as "peace of mind" and "heroic spirit", it will be lenient and effective as usual.
In the process of studying the spell configuration of "Secondary Mind Barrier", Joan also noticed that this spell is not perfect.
"Secondary Mind Barrier" is only a third-level spell after all, and the magic power level that can be invoked is only 10 degrees at most, so this spell can only restrain the mind spells below the 3rd level, or the supernatural ability of the mind system with an energy level not higher than 10 degrees .
What happens if you go beyond this range?
In the face of psychic spells or supernatural abilities higher than level 3, the "secondary psychic barrier" is unable to provide 100% immune protection, but it can always reduce part of the psychic damage for the subject within the time limit of the spell's continuous effect, and significantly enhance Subject's resistance to harmful mind effects.
The specific gain effect is proportional to the level of the caster.
If Joan learns this spell, he will be able to obtain the protection of "Secondary Mind Barrier" within 80 minutes.
During this period, whenever he suffers a psychic attack, he can reduce the psychic damage by 8 energy levels.
As a 3rd ring protection spell, this is considered to be doing everything possible!
Joan felt that this spell had been optimized to the extreme and could not ask it to do more.
So, is there a similar spell that is more perfect than "Secondary Mind Barrier"?
The answer is yes.
There is "secondary" and of course there is "advanced"!
The perfect version of "Psychic Barrier" is a protection spell up to level 8, which is almost immune to all psychic attacks below the legendary level, and lasts for up to 24 hours!
This is indeed perfect, but unfortunately the level is too high, so high that even an arcane genius like Joan daunts, I don't know how long it will take to be eligible to learn this super powerful spell...
At least for Joan's current level, the "secondary mental barrier" is far more practical than the unattainable perfect version of the "spiritual barrier".
...
July 12, early morning.
A round of red sun leaped to the top of Fangshan Mountain, shedding thousands of golden lights.
On the Ligweed Great Plain with abundant water and grass, a rush of horseshoes frightened the birds foraging in the grass, and they fluttered their wings and circled in the air for a long time.
Five war horses came galloping from the western horizon, and the dusty knights on the horses were all dressed in blue military uniforms. The leading knight was tall and burly, wearing a collar badge that symbolized the rank of captain.
The four knights who followed were two pairs of young men and women, and their immature faces could not hide their worry. It was not until the city wall of Elk Town appeared in their field of vision that the eyes of these young men showed a look of relief.
Joan, Hyrule, Audrey, and Holden set off from the company camp with Captain Stone before dawn. They spared no effort on the way and traveled for three hours. The journey was nearly a hundred miles, and they managed to beat the monsters before they launched a siege Rush to Elk Town on the banks of the Mead River.
Joan had only heard of the place name "Elk Town" before, and he took it for granted that this small town with a population of less than 1,000 people was like his hometown, Delin Town, without any special defensive measures, and a wooden fence around it was considered a city wall It's hard to resist the siege of a large group of monsters.
However, seeing Elk Town with his own eyes, he realized that he was completely wrong.
Elk Town is indeed not an important town, nor is it heavily stationed like Linyuan Castle, but judging from the solid stone wall surrounding the town, it is not difficult to understand why Winterhold summoned so many monsters to attack this small town together. town.
In addition to the 30-foot-high city wall, the residents of Elk Town also led a canal from the Mead River to bypass the city wall to form a moat.
There are heavy ballistas on the crenels of the city wall, towering sentry towers are erected at the corners, and the drawbridge-like city gates are also closed, making them look heavily guarded.
Holden rode his horse and galloped along the river bank, looking at the approaching city gate, he couldn't help expressing emotion.
"What kind of town is this? It looks like a military fortress!"
"It seems that Elk Town is not so easy to break through, but we are too nervous." Hailaer smiled easily.
"Have you noticed that the city gate drawbridge has been put away, and there are Asa warriors with longbows patrolling the city, obviously the whole town is on high alert."
Audrey made speculations based on what she observed.
"It can be seen from this that the letter Joan sent to Elder Hunter yesterday has received the attention of the other party, and he specially strengthened his vigilance."
While chatting, the five war horses had already reached the canal and were forced to stop.
Captain Stone waved his arms in the direction of the city gate, and shouted loudly: "Asa brothers, please open the door, I have already made an appointment with your elder Hunter, and I will meet you in the town today!"
