Chapter 1283 Yan Qun
"Yal!"
Joan chanted the activation spell, and the feather in his hand disappeared in a brilliant magical radiance. Immediately afterwards, chirping birds came from the air, and a large group of blue-backed swifts appeared out of thin air, circling and dancing around the young mage like blue clouds.
The spell "flying insects and beasts" can usually only be used to summon insects and bats.
However, as long as the elements of the spell are slightly changed, changing the material of the spell from a piece of red cloth to the feathers of a certain bird, the corresponding flock of birds can be summoned.
Of course, limited by the magic power level of the second-level spells, this modified version of "flying insects and beasts" can only be used to summon small birds, such as passerine swifts. It's beyond what I can do.
With Joan's current mage level, plus the additional 3 casting levels of "mythical mana", he can give full play to the power of "flying insects and beasts" and summon 900 blue-backed swifts in one go.
The flock of birds summoned by magic, like the swarm of insects, has its own "brood will".
It is difficult for Joan to communicate with a certain swallow in the flock, but he can have telepathy with the will of the mother nest formed by nearly a thousand swallows. In fact, the level of intelligence formed by the common will of the flock is surprisingly high, and even To exceed the average human intelligence level!
Qiao An inspired a "mythical power" to establish a "mythical link" with Yan Qun's "mother's nest will". Up to this point, it was normal, and the next operation was more tricky.
In addition to sharing the senses, "Mythical Link" also has a special usage, that is, Joan can use the linked object as the starting point to cast spells.
He maintained a close connection with Yan Qun's will with his spiritual power, and at the same time activated the "mystery division technique", the pupil of his left eye shrank slightly, tearing his consciousness apart, forming a temporary secondary personality, and actively entering a kind of "schizophrenia". "status.
Qiao An maintains the concentration of "flying insects and beasts" with the main personality, and the secondary personality unfolds the scroll in his hand, and uses the will of Yan Qun as the origin to perform the "creature positioning technique".
Just three seconds later, the sheepskin scroll in Joan's hand turned into dust, and the "biological positioning technique" was successfully blessed on Yan Qun's will, and through the picture used as the material for casting the spell, the image of the "unicorn rabbit" was firmly imprinted Into the will of Yan Qun.
That's not exactly true.
Yan Qun Will is a pure spiritual body, without a physical body, and there is no organ dedicated to thinking.
The "brain" of Yan Qun Will is actually composed of the brains of all blue-backed swifts, forming a distributed multi-core computing system.
Joan entered the command to search for "one-horned rabbit" into Yan Qun's will, and this command was also simultaneously mapped to the minds of all the individuals who constituted Yan Qun.
In the same way, the "biological positioning technique" that Joan applied to the will of the swallows also simultaneously blessed all the blue-backed swifts.
This is like a spell caster blessing himself with the "Human Enlargement Technique". From a micro level, every cell that makes up his body grows in size at the same time. The change in the caster's height and weight is just a change in cell clusters at the macro level. The realization of above.
Now, the 900 blue-backed swifts flying around Joan are all blessed with the "biological location technique", and all of them are implanted with the command to "search for unicorn rabbits".
However, Qiao An couldn't let Yan Qun go on a search mission right away.
The key to a biological cluster lies in the word "collection". If the individuals that make up the cluster are too scattered among each other, it cannot be called a "cluster", and the will of the brood will also be weakened with the dispersal of the cluster until it disappears completely. All swallows will lose their spiritual connection with Joan.
Conversely, it is not good to keep the cluster too close. The geometric space traversed per unit time is too narrow, which will seriously reduce the search efficiency.
When Qiao An formulated this search plan, he conducted careful experiments in advance. According to his test, the number of swallows that can maintain a common will must not be less than 50 individuals.
According to this minimum standard, Joan divided the 900 blue-backed swifts into 18 subgroups, and each subgroup will maintain a spiritual link with himself, and at the same time maintain the magical effect of the "biological positioning technique".
Joan gave instructions to all 18 subgroups, so that all swallow groups can be distributed with the maximum degree of dispersion without destroying the will of the mother nest. Push forward and search for an area each. After the swallows reached the edge of the swamp, they moved 2° clockwise, then turned around and returned to the starting point.
This reciprocating cycle, a literal "carpet search", until the entire Baden Wetland is searched.
Eighteen groups of swallows spread out along the circumference according to Joan's will, flapping their wings and flying in clusters.
If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the group of swallows is centered on the position where Qiao An is standing, and is rapidly spreading to the periphery like ripples on the water surface.
The flying speed of the swallows is maintained at about 300 miles per hour, and the "biological positioning technique" can last for up to 70 minutes, with a search radius of 680 feet, accompanying the movement of the swallows.
Through simple calculations, it is not difficult for Qiao An to find the maximum range that the eighteen groups of swallows can search within the duration of the spell.
Although there may be some errors between the theoretical data and the actual situation, it has no effect on the conclusion.
Joan maintained the concentration of "flying insects and beasts" in casting spells, took out his pocket watch, and sneaked a look at it.
"It's ten fifty in the morning."
Joan said to his companions.
"Unless there are no wild unicorn rabbits in the Baden wetlands, or our luck is extremely unlucky, the swifts can bring us good news before 12 noon."
Medea, Gray Bird and Ruby looked at each other silently, their eyes were all blank.
They didn't understand the principle of Qiao An's fancy tricks at all, it seemed to be very powerful anyway.
"Joan, with our brains, we really can't understand what you're doing. Anyway, you think it's okay. The only thing we can do now is to wait." Medea said with a wry smile.
The "mathematical expectation" calculated with a lot of thought did not disappoint Joan.
He and his companions waited for less than ten minutes when they received good news from a group of swifts.
"About fifty miles southeast of where we are now, at the edge of the wetland, when the seventh group of swallows was about to turn back, they found a small animal that looked like a 'unicorn rabbit'!"
Joan's eyes sparkled, and his tone of voice couldn't hide his excitement.
"Oh? We found it so soon?" "Miss Ruby" flew up impatiently, "Brother Qiao An, let's fly over to catch the rabbit!"
