Chapter 1396 Anti-Gaze Barrier
Medea also developed a 4th level spell.
The initial positioning of this spell is the same as "protection against petrification". However, perhaps because of the lack of constraints from the product manager, Medea unconsciously let herself go during the research and development process, so that she completely forgot what she wanted to do in the first place. A wonderful thing!
This spell cannot be said to have nothing to do with protection against petrification, but it can only be used to protect against "Petrochemical Gaze".
After casting the spell, under the blessing of magic power, the caster's eyes present a silver mirror-like texture.
During the duration of the spell, the caster's eyesight will not be affected, and they will be immune to all staring attacks, and at the moment of being stared at, they can choose to reflect the staring attack at the cost of exhausting the remaining magic power of the spell, so that the staring person will suffer the consequences— — In this case, the gazer is not immune to its own gaze attacks.
Although this wonderful spell completely went in the wrong direction, it was wrong and wrong, and eventually evolved into a spell that can be immune to all supernatural sight attacks including "Petrochemical Gaze", and can even bounce back sight. It is not in vain. Medea a lot of hard work.
Medea is very proud of this wonderful spell that she invented, and on a whim, she plans to name it "The Scourge of the Gorgon".
Joan must first admit that this spell is indeed the nemesis of the Gorgon, but he firmly opposes the naming of Medea!
After all, Medea herself is a Gorgon, so it would be too unlucky to name the spell she invented "The Calamity of the Gorgon".
Sister, how many dishes do you drink like this? Absolutely is the top, right? !
Under Joan's strong persuasion, Medea had no choice but to give up this unlucky name, and named the spell she invented "Anti-Gaze Barrier"-this kind of simple naming style just built, completely in line with someone's straight man aesthetic.
Joan and Medea got two "by-products" by the way when they were studying the petrochemical effect.
As early as when Joan and Medea first met, the Gorgon told him a conjecture about "Petrified Gaze": when the petrified sight is refracted or reflected, as the number of refractions and reflections increases, the overall "Petrified Gaze" The utility decays geometrically.
In order to verify this conjecture, Joan and Medea collaborated to design a set of reflection/refraction experiments on creatures with the ability of "petrified gaze" such as petrified lizards, Kista, and Gorgon (that is, Medea herself). The experimental results are consistent with the above conjecture.
The experimental subjects did not include beholders, which made Joan a little regretful. But theoretically speaking, the petrified vision of the beholder should also conform to this rule.
Joan also extended this conjecture to all supernatural gaze attacks, and believed that this attenuation law is also applicable to other gaze attacks.
Using the 4-ring "transfiguration" combined with the blood awakening agent, Joan transformed into a "snow monster" and a "earth monster" successively, and carried out a reflection/refraction quantitative experiment on the "shivering gaze" and "confused gaze", and the test results were the same According to the law of attenuation.
Due to the small number of test samples, it is not yet possible to assert that the attenuation law is generally applicable, but Joan and Medea are very confident in their conjecture, and decided to write it in the paper, hoping to arouse widespread interest in the arcane academic community. Concerned, attracting scholars to follow up on this topic, using other biological samples with supernatural gaze ability for testing.
The second by-product of Joan and Medea outside the main subject negates a conjecture that Joan once held.
Before Joan got acquainted with Medea, he encountered two monsters with supernatural gaze, namely "snow monster" and "earth monster".
These two creatures also happen to have special eye structures. They are born with inner and outer double-layered eyelids. The inner eyelids are transparent and usually closed.
Joan once suspected that the inner eyelid was the gaze "switch" of the yeti and the earth giant, and guessed that most other creatures with supernatural gaze ability in the world also have the same inner and outer double eyelid structure.
However, what happened afterwards overturned Joan's guess.
Take the three creatures with "petrified gaze" that he and Medea have studied in depth, the petrified lizard, the Gorgon, and Kista, all have only a single eyelid, and this does not affect their "petrified gaze". gaze".
Faced with many counterexamples, Qiao An had to admit that his previous conjectures were purely rare.
In fact, there is no necessary connection between gaze attacks and double eyelids, and earth giants and snow monsters are special cases.
The double-lidded eyelids of these two creatures are more likely to be influenced by their habitats.
Earth monsters need to avoid being blinded by sand and dust when digging tunnels, and snow monsters live in areas where blizzards are ravaged all year round, so they also need to guard against wind and snow.
In order to adapt to the needs of dust protection, these two organisms have undergone a long evolutionary selection, and the "double eyelid" gene has gradually stabilized and been expressed through dominant inheritance.
Gorgons, Kistas, and basilisks do not need special protection against dust in their habitats, so they did not evolve the unique physiological structure of "double eyelids".
Joan and Medea originally planned to spend two to three weeks to complete the first draft of the thesis, but the work efficiency was higher than expected, and it took only one week to finish the first draft of the thesis.
During this period, Medea also accepted Joan's suggestion and injected three "awakening potions" prepared from her own blood, trying to develop the potential of the warlock's blood.
Qiao An can be described as an "old driver" who is proficient in this job, and successfully helped Medea develop 6 new spells, including one with 5 rings, two with 3 rings, and the rest are all 1 rings.
Medea was very satisfied with this result, but Joan was secretly disappointed, because all the new spells developed by Medea were those he had already learned or copied.
Medea was originally very concerned about the risks involved in the development of the warlock's bloodline, so she once refused Joan to help her develop the bloodline potential. However, after tasting the sweetness this time, her position suddenly reversed 180 degrees, from extreme conservative to extreme radical Use the blood samples of five other supernatural petrified creatures as materials to refine strengthening potions to further strengthen your own warlock blood.
The Gorgon did not intend to die. The reason for this crazy idea was all out of his trust in Joan.
Joan revealed to her that using a secret method called "Blood Enchantment" can reduce the risk of bloodline strengthening by one level.
Medea bears the cost of the magic crystal of "Blood Enchantment" on her own, and asks Joan to enchant her with "Stable Mind".
The enchanting operation went smoothly. After that, Medea, after a fierce ideological struggle, finally made up her mind to take a chance and injected herself with unicorns, cockatrices, petrified lizards, Kista and petrified animals. The "awakening agent" prepared by the blood plasma of five kinds of organisms including cows.
