Chapter 1583 Multi-Headed Spellcasting (Ⅱ)
While resting, Joan temporarily changed back to human form, took out a bottle of potion prepared with "Tears of God" in advance, and poured it down his throat in one breath to relieve mental fatigue.
Duo'er came over with the experiment log in her arms, and read to him the results of the next ten sets of target shooting tests.
"Mr. Vader, generally speaking, the results are getting better and better. For example, in the last group, eight of the twelve 'frozen rays' hit the bull's-eye, and the remaining four rays also hit within the fifth ring."
Qiao An nodded lightly, and thought about it: "After all, this is just the simplest method of casting spells. As long as you increase the amount of training, it is not surprising that your performance will improve. In fact, even if all of them hit the bull's-eye, this level of multi-headed spellcasting ability is not enough. It’s not up to the standards of actual combat.”
"Mr. Vader, what kind of training level do you think you need to achieve in order to apply multi-head spellcasting in actual combat?" Duo'er asked earnestly.
Qiao An put down the empty medicine bottle, snapped her fingers, and analyzed it one by one for her.
"First of all, on the real battlefield, unless the enemy is a fool, it is unlikely to get within 30 feet of the twelve cold snake lizards. Otherwise, I can just spit out cold currents or stretch my neck to bite them. Why do I need to cast spells?"
"So spells with a short range like 'Frozen Ray' are only used for testing and training, and are not very useful on the battlefield. A truly practical spell must have a range of at least two hundred feet. Currently, multiple spells cannot be used so far away. The distance guarantees the hit rate, and failing to hit someone is a waste of spells."
"Secondly, what I'm testing now is the simplest trick. As the spell ring increases, the difficulty of multiple spellcasting increases. To maintain the success rate of spellcasting in a battlefield environment that is extremely chaotic and full of unexpected changes, it is comparable to that in a quiet place. It's much harder to do experiments in a room."
"Finally, and the most critical point, the essence of multi-head spellcasting is to cast different spells simultaneously. When each head casts a spell, it also needs to consider cooperating with other heads to complete complex tactics together."
"For example, the No. 1 head casts the 'pit-making technique', the No. 2 head casts the 'Oil Spell', and the No. 3 head releases the 'Blazing Ball', so that when the enemy falls into the trap created by the No. 1 head, the No. 2 head will call The fuel oil just poured into the pit, and the No. 3 head remotely controlled the "blazing magic ball" and rolled down, turning the pit full of fuel into a fire pit, which is a typical group of "multi-head cooperative spellcasting."
"You can tell without me telling you that the twelve heads cast different spells, which is far more difficult than casting the same spell. If I can't master multi-headed cooperative spells, then I might as well become a twelve-headed cold spell." The snake lizard directly spews out cold currents, which is much stronger than the 'freezing ray' in terms of range and lethality, and it doesn't need to be so laborious."
After listening to Qiao An's explanation, Duo'er realized that the practice of "casting spells with multiple heads" has a long way to go, and she became a little depressed, but she still smiled and comforted him: "Mr. improving."
"There is no need to rush to cast spells with multiple heads, and there is no rush. The more urgent problem that needs to be solved now is the experimental site."
Joan looked around and shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Moriarty's laboratory is too small. If I want to practice multiple long-range spells, I can only go to the wilderness and find a more open testing ground."
"Does Mr. Vader have an ideal experiment site?" Duoer asked with great interest.
"It really is. It is my spiritual hometown, Bailun Mountain." The corners of Joan's lips rose slightly, "There are many hospitable 'scientific friends' living there, and they have always provided me with experimental volunteers regardless of rewards."
"Ah? I understand after hearing you say that, Mr. Vader, are you going to harm the goblins again?" Duo'er covered her mouth and snickered.
Joan's face was burning hot, and he said awkwardly: "You are doing experiments, and you have no money to hire people. You can only go to Bailun Mountain to catch goblins as volunteers, so you can maintain this state... How can scientific research be called persecution?"
"Yeah, I understand, I understand! It's not persecution, it's asking goblins to contribute their youth to scientific research!"
"Anyway, those green-skinned little monsters are not doing good things while they are alive. Being able to sacrifice their lives for Mr. Vader's scientific research work is considered the most glorious deed in their lives."
Duo'er teased a few words, put away her smile, and asked Joan, "Mr. Vida, when do you plan to go to Bailun Mountain?"
Joan looked at the setting sun outside the window, and replied thoughtfully: "The weather is fine tonight. I will fly to Bailun Mountain after dinner. The mountain is quiet at night, without the disturbance of passers-by. It is the most suitable for experiments."
"Take me with you, okay?" Duo'er asked earnestly, "With me by your side, helping you with trivial matters, you can concentrate on more important research work."
Qiao An really needs an experimental assistant, and there is no one around her who is more suitable for this role than the gentle, considerate and understanding Duo Er. After hesitating for a while, she said to her: "We can't decide this matter on our own, you should send a message to the instructor first." A letter, if I can get permission from my mentor, I have no objection."
"Okay, I'll send a letter to the master right now, he will definitely agree!"
Duoer took out a communication stone from the pocket of her apron, and sent the "short message technique" to Professor Moriarty.
Professor Moriarty didn't know what he was busy with, so he didn't reply for a while, so Joan asked Duo Er to help him with another set of experiments.
"Mr. Vader, do you want to practice multi-headed spellcasting next?" Duo'er asked.
Joan shook his head lightly.
He was going to try a different trick and try that brilliant idea that came to him not long ago.
Joan opened the storage bag, took out the "Fireball Wand" taken from "Hobgoblin Battlemage" Barom, and handed it to Duo Er, who asked her to stand at the door of the laboratory.
Then, Qiao An changed back to the form of the twelve-headed cold snake lizard, unified the twelve sub-consciousnesses into the will of the hive, and focused on casting the 4-ring spell "Swarm Cloak".
While casting the spell, Qiao An also used the super magic skill "automatic material selection", spending a fire element essence encapsulated in black agate as the casting material, adding fire subspecies characteristics to the summoned bee colony, and being immune to fire damage.
The swarm of eleven thousand mutated wasps was like a buzzing yellow and black curtain floating in the air, barely covering the huge twelve-headed cold snake lizard from head to tail.
Joan's twelve heads looked around at the same time, and found that the barrage formed by the bee colony was a bit thin, so he could only make do with it now.
If he really goes on the battlefield, he will cast the "swarm cloak" again, double-layer mutated wasp swarm protection, so there is no need to worry about the barrage being too thin.
"Duo'er, now you use your wand to shoot a fireball at me. After casting the spell, remember to back out of the door, so as not to be injured by the high-temperature airflow generated by the fireball explosion."
