Chapter 1517 Times Have Changed

Holden and Hailaer held their own opinions, attacked each other, and they were unwilling to admit defeat. They could not win or lose in verbal disputes.

Joan and Audrey couldn't stop them, so they simply let the two of them fight, while he supervised from the sidelines, so as not to cause any fatalities.

In Joan's view, Holden and Hailar's swordsmanship has its own characteristics, and there is no distinction between good and bad. But when it comes to the martial arts arena, if he is asked to choose a side to bet on, he thinks that Hailaer has a slightly better chance of winning.

Judging from the physical attributes of the two, Holden has 18 strength, 20 agility, and 18 constitution, Hailar has 23 strength, 16 agility, and 18 constitution.

Holden is a level 8 bard, and Hyrule is a level 10 magician, so Hyrule has an advantage in professional level and actual combat experience.

Another key factor in determining the outcome is the weapons of both sides.

Although Hyrule's giant sword and Holden's short sword are both swords, their size and weight are quite different.

Under the premise that magic is banned on both sides, Joan feels that the giant sword can control a larger range and should have an advantage in the battle.

If Holden wanted to win, he had to approach Hyrule at the risk of being cut down by the giant sword, and only after closing the distance could he find a chance to counterattack.

The initial stage of the confrontation between the two was exactly as Joan expected. Holden could only keep dodging in the face of Hailar's stormy attack.

Hailaer obviously also knew that strength and attack distance were his advantages, so he didn't give Holden a chance to get close at all, forcing his opponent to retreat to an unavoidable corner, and could only block the giant sword with a short sword, appearing to be overwhelmed and precarious.

Seeing that he was about to be defeated, Holden suddenly freed his left hand, pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed at Hailaer's forehead and shouted: "Don't move!"

Hailaer held the sword in both hands, staring at the dark muzzle of the gun and fell into a daze. It took a while to recover, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

"Little rascal, you are so despicable! It's like a sword, why are you pointing a gun at me? It's a foul!"

"What's the rule? Before the martial arts competition, you didn't say that you are not allowed to use a gun." Mr. Poet smiled slightly, "Since I have a pistol with me, why should I foolishly fight swords with you? Use your brain, my friend. , times have changed!"

Wow! This trick is really coquettish!

Joan was so inspired!

It just so happened that he also had a revolver, so Holden might as well learn from the tactics of gun and sword in this move.

As for the tragedy of Holden being cornered and kicked by the furious "money fan" after using this trick... that's another matter, and Joan chose to ignore it.

While practicing swordsmanship, Joan did not relax his main business - arcane practice.

On the night of April 7th, while Joan was meditating before going to bed, the spiritual probe finally touched the bottom area of ​​the fourth magic net, and was successfully promoted to a level 8 mage.

After a satisfying sleep, Joan woke up the next morning and activated "Inner Vision" to check the changes in her body after the upgrade.

...

Physical state: basic health (disabled right eye; infected with worm disease)

Occupation Level: Mage 8/Mythic Archmage 3

Spell slot: 0th level - ∞; 1st level - 7 (intelligence attribute bonus + 3); 2nd level - 6 (intelligence attribute bonus + 3), 3rd level - 6 (intelligence attribute bonus + 3), 4th level - 5 (intelligence attribute bonus attribute bonus +3);

...

After checking the physical attributes, Joan found that after he was promoted to a level 8 mage, the biggest change was that his intelligence attributes increased by 1 point.

In addition, his 3rd-level spell slot has been increased by one, and his 4th-level spell slot has been increased by two - one of which is a reward for upgrading, and the other is a reward for reaching 34 points of intelligence.

The power of most spells increases synchronously with the increase of the spellcasting level until it reaches the upper limit of the magic power level.

For example, the 3rd level "fireball", a level 5 mage can master this spell, but the power of the fireball released is only 5 levels.

After that, every time a mage level is increased, the power of "fireball" will also increase by one energy level, until level 10, and the power of "fireball" will not increase when the mage level is increased later - because the 3rd ring spell The upper limit of magic power is only 10 energy levels.

However, there are still some special spells whose power increases with the increase of the casting level. However, there is no linear relationship between the two, but a "jump" like a ladder.

For example, "The Power of the Bull", "The Grace of the Cat", "The Toughness of the Bear", "The Cunning of the Fox", "The Wisdom of the Owl" and "The Prestige of the Eagle" are a series of spells that enhance physical and spiritual attributes. can be mastered, but the improved attribute is only 2 points.

When a level 6 mage casts the same spell, the increase in attributes increases to 4 points.

Only a mage above level 9 can give full play to the maximum power of this series of spells. After casting the spells, the attributes can be temporarily increased by six points.

According to the above changes, whenever the mage level reaches a certain level, it is necessary for Joan to re-enchant some magic tools made before to increase the power of the magic tools.

For example, the belt he is wearing now was originally just a "sports belt", and its function was limited to enhancing athletic ability. Later, it was improved by enchanting and became a "secondary gorgeous belt". On the basis of retaining the original functions, all attributes have been improved. 2:00.

When his spellcasting level reaches level 6, he re-enchants the belt and upgrades it to a "magnificent belt", and the attribute increase becomes 4 points.

Later, the casting level reached level 9, and the belt was enchanted again, and finally evolved into a "high-level gorgeous belt", with an increase of 6 points in all attributes.

Now there is a magical device, although it was not made by Qiao An himself, it also conforms to the above rules and can be strengthened.

Joan opened the storage bag, took out the "Crystal Amulet" obtained from killing "Shepherd" Idal, and carefully placed it on the desk.

This talisman is attached with a 2-ring "Fire Resistance Barrier". When Joan fought against "Fire Warlock" Diego Antonioni not long ago, it was thanks to this talisman that it helped him resist the opponent's fire magic.
