Chapter 1401 Mage's Poisonous High Five (Ⅰ)

Joan recalled that many years ago, when he first came into contact with magic knowledge, the first magic he learned was "Mage's Hand".

This "first encounter" had a profound impact on the spellcasting style he formed in the future.

Later, as the level of spellcasting continued to increase, Qiao An learned more and more advanced "mind control" spells. Then upgrade to the 3rd ring "Mage Nether Palm"...

At every stage of Joan's growth, this series of spells is his main skill, the core of tactics, and has accompanied him to this day.

After being promoted to a level 7 mage, Qiao An gradually realized that the third-level spell "Mage Nether Palm" was a bit outdated, and urgently needed to be upgraded.

Joan checked the 4-ring version of the "Mage ×× Palm" series of spells in the Arcane Library of Midgard University, but he was not satisfied with the result. Instead, he decided to use "Mage Nether Palm" as a blueprint to develop a more powerful A 4-ring version that suits your casting style.

There was still about a week before the start of school, and Joan decided to devote himself to the work of developing new spells.

"Mage Nether Palm" has two functions.

One is to add an additional 6 points of strength to the big hand shaped by magic power on the basis of the caster's own strength attribute.

Joan kept this function and upgraded it, and the additional strength attribute was increased to 8 points-the 4th-level spell slot has a more generous energy level than the 3rd-level spell slot, allowing him to perform this upgrade operation.

The second function of the "Mage's Nether Palm" is to deliver contact spells while striking the enemy remotely.

This function looks good, but in actual combat, Joan rarely has the opportunity to use it.

In the upgraded version, Joan simply deleted this function, freeing up more mana for the fusion of another third-level spell that he valued-"Poison Strike".

Joan has been exploring around this year, accumulating a large amount of strange toxins, including a variety of "petrochemical toxins" that were recently collected while studying the petrochemical effect.

The "Poison Strike Technique" can only poison one target every time it is cast. Only relying on this thing to consume the materials for casting the spell, Joan's rich and diverse toxin reserves cannot give full play to its due advantages.

For this reason, Qiao An decided to incorporate part of the spell configuration of "Poison Strike" into the new version of "Mage ×× Palm", and adjusted it so that every time the remote-controlled magic hand attacks the enemy during the casting period, an additional "poisoning" effect will be added.

Which kind of poison to add, inherits the design idea of ​​"Poison Strike", and is determined by the casting material.

Joan named the 4-ring spell in this concept "Mage Poison High Five".

If his design can be perfectly realized, every time a unit dose (that is, a capsule) of toxin is consumed as a spell-casting material, keep focusing on casting spells, and remotely control the "mage's poisonous high-five" to attack the enemy, and the "poison strike" effect can be output by the way. , It is much more practical than the 3-ring "poison attack"!

With a clear goal, Joan worked overtime and got busy.

For the next three days, Qiao An focused on the research and development of "Mage Poisonous High Five". In addition to the essential two hours of sleep every day, he even squeezed out the time for eating and drinking. "Supernatural "Bigu Technique" replaces daily diet.

The work of sleepless nights and food was not in vain. On the evening of September 20th, Qiao An finally completed all the configurations of the 4th ring "Mage's Poisonous High Five", and wrote them in the spell book with satisfaction.

Early the next morning, Joann appeared at the dining table for the first time these days, and had breakfast with the landlady, Mrs. Anderson, and Ruby.

The landlady and Ruby knew that he was busy developing spells, so they tried to avoid disturbing him as much as possible. However, seeing that he didn't go downstairs for three days and didn't eat a bite of food, they couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Seeing Qiao An finally back to normal now, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

During breakfast, Joan briefly introduced today's schedule to Ruby.

The research and development of "Mage Poison High Five" has been completed, but the design plan on paper may not be practical. Joan plans to conduct a series of experiments next, using living organisms to verify whether this spell really meets expectations.

Joan now has two alternatives.

One is to go to the underground test site of Midgard University, rent an "activated doll", and then use the doll as a target to test the "Mage Poison High Five".

This solution is the easiest, after all, the school is close to home, but the "activated doll" as an experimental subject does not satisfy Qiao An.

"Mage's poisonous high five", the main test is the poisoning effect attached to the attack.

"Activated dolls" can indeed be used to test for toxins, but dolls are dolls after all, and there is no change in expression after being poisoned, let alone the intuitive poisoning reactions such as rolling eyes, foaming at the mouth, struggling and screaming.

Joan also has another option, which is to find a wilderness or dark area, and forcibly recruit evil and savage humanoids such as goblins, orcs, and snow monsters to act as "volunteers" for live experiments.

Joan is inclined to the second option, but it is obviously more troublesome to do so, and it is not yet determined where to recruit "volunteers" forcibly.

"Brother Joan, we've been to the Underdark many times, and it's not new. How about a place with a beautiful scenery this time?" Ruby begged.

Joan curled his lips speechlessly. The little girl is taking the test of "Mage Poison High Five" as an opportunity to go out for an outing.

But think about it, these days I'm either busy writing papers, or devoting myself to researching and developing spells, and I don't even bother to accompany Ruby, the little girl is also strangely lonely.

Joan also thought that after school starts, she will only be busier than now, and will not be able to spend time with Ruby. It would be good to go out with her for a while now.

Since Ruby wanted to go to a place with beautiful scenery, the habitat of the snow monster "Fangshan Mountain" was ruled out first. That ghost place is covered with snow all the year round, and the cold wind is raging, so there is nothing worth seeing.

As for other places... Joan suddenly remembered the Bailun Mountains. The local natural scenery is not bad, and Ruby is no stranger to it. When they first met, they were on the top of Bailun Mountains.

The top of Bailun Mountain was once occupied by a large group of monsters named "Pelidong". lair.

After that battle, the Peridon family was severely injured and almost extinct.

In the blink of an eye, half a year later, with the rapid decline of the Peridon family, the goblins who were frightened by these monsters and fled the Bailun Mountains returned to their homeland, multiplied, and grew stronger day by day. A great disaster.
