Chapter 196 Piety Shield

Each "activated scarecrow" made by Master Rawls is equipped with a set of similar control symbols.

Different control talismans are engraved with different incantations, just like a password key, which can only be used on specific activated scarecrows.

"Mr. Vader, I'm going to leave beforehand. You wait here for a while. I'll be right back. If the monsters appear before I come back and try to attack you, you should retreat to the room and close the iron door by reciting the spell. .”

Miss Martha told Joan the spells to open and close the iron gate leading to the garden, and hurried away.

Joan looked at her back, wondering secretly.

Judging from her tone just now, it seems that she will come back in a while, and she doesn't want to go deep into the garden alone to hunt and kill diggers during this period.

Qiao An didn't understand what her intention was, but this was her home after all, so she should do whatever she wanted, and wait for her to talk about other things when she came back.

Joan was pacing back and forth in front of the door boredly, and suddenly had an idea, thinking that there was something she could do while Miss Martha was away.

Hastily opening the storage bag, he took out the quill, ink bottle and spell book, and quickly wrote the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the door, so that the 1st ring "Door Sealing Technique" that was always on the door was fully displayed.

Joan first transcribed the incantation of "Door Sealing Technique" into his spell book. Still not satisfied, he picked up the "Control Talisman" again, called the activated scarecrow named "Tata" to himself, told it to stand still, and wrote the Ansuz rune on its back with a pen to make the " All the spells used when activating the Scarecrow were revealed.

There are a total of three spells enchanted on Tata, which are exactly the same as those taught by Master Rawls in class. "The 1st ring "Fear Art" in "--the first two are basic enchanting spells, and the last one is special enchanting.

Joan had already transcribed the "Secondary Object Revitalization Technique" when he was analyzing the "Automatic Quill Pen" at Yangbo Trading Company, and now he only needs to transcribe the "Secondary Instruction Technique" and "Frightening Technique".

He has done this kind of sneaky business too many times. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and the spell can be transcribed in less than 20 minutes.

After painting off the ink marks on the door and Tata's body, Joan closed the spell book with satisfaction.

Even if the mission of killing insects fails this time and the bounty cannot be obtained, copying these three spells is still a worthwhile trip.

Just when he was secretly delighted, there were hurried footsteps and the sound of metal colliding behind him. Joan looked back and couldn't help but be stunned.

It was Miss Martha who came over, but compared with the lady's attire just now, she completely changed her appearance.

This noble lady took off her long skirt, put on a shiny chain mail, her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, holding a magic crystal shotgun in both hands, from a weak woman with a sad face to a heroic figure Huntress.

"Miss Martha, this is..."

"I'm really worried about you dealing with a large group of monsters alone. With this gun in hand, I can help you to some extent."

Miss Martha patted the shotgun confidently, walked quickly to Joan, put her left hand on his shoulder, and chanted the spell softly.

Joan heard that Miss Martha was reciting the divine spell prayer, and also noticed that the necklace she was wearing around her neck was attached to a mithril round plate, on which was carved a profile of a masked girl, which was clearly a holy emblem.

In Joan's impression, only the clerics of the two goddesses of fate - Syndra and Timothy - would wear this style of holy emblem.

The followers of "Ms. Destiny" Syndra mainly live in the Far East of the Old World; while in the New World, "Queen of Karma" Timos is a mainstream belief comparable to "Sun God" Pelor.

It follows that Miss Martha may well be a Reverend Timothy.

The god-given weapon of the "Queen of Karma" is a gun!

In fact, apart from Pastor Timothy, few young women would show up with a large-caliber shotgun.

"Now I want to bless you with a divine spell, like an invisible shield, which can make you more secure."

Miss Martha explained her intentions to Joan softly.

At the same time, a holy energy flowed towards Joan through her fingers, turning into a slightly glowing film that clings to the surface of the young mage's body, like a water curtain that swirls silently.

Joan quickly recognized that what Miss Martha blessed him with was a 1-ring magical "shield of piety".

This magical technique is similar to the "shield technique", but the protection mechanism is fundamentally different.

The "shield technique" is to use magic power to condense a transparent force field tower shield, which can head-on to block the enemy's attack.

"Pious shield" is to create a high-speed flowing magic barrier. When the subject is attacked by a sword or arrow, the sharp blade must first pass through this barrier before it touches the body. Misdirection, lost aim.

Joan came prepared today. As soon as he walked into the garden where the diggers were lurking, he blessed himself with two defensive arcane spells that he had learned not long ago-"Mage Armor" and "Shield". These two spells are compatible with the "Shield of Devotion" that Miss Martha just blessed for him.

Now, Joan has three defensive spells.

Although he only had a thin cloak on his body, he looked so weak on the surface, but his defensive power was comparable to that of a heavily armored knight in full plate armor and holding a steel shield. Even the most ferocious diggers can hardly break through his defenses.

With safety guaranteed, Joan's confidence doubled. I thanked Miss Martha, and asked her curiously, "Are you a priest?"

"Can't you see? Actually, I am also a graduate of Leiden College."

Miss Martha's smile seemed a little lonely.

"Of course, my talent is far from being comparable to that of Master Rawls's senior apprentice. I heard from Downs that you skipped to the third grade as soon as you entered school, but I studied hard in the seminary for five full years before I barely got my diploma. "

"I planned to go to Midgard to study abroad after graduating in the fall of last year, but my mother died of a serious illness not long after. I had to give up my plan to study abroad and stay in the manor to manage the family business and take care of my younger sister."

Joan could hear a hint of regret from her words.

Miss Martha's spellcasting talent may not be considered outstanding, but no matter how humble she is, she is still a graduate of the seminary, at least she is a level 5 Timothy priest who can skillfully cast 3-level magic.

With a pastor around to help, Joann has no worries at all.

Even if he was unlucky and was injured in the battle, Miss Martha could still use magic to heal him.
