Chapter 306 Force Field Impact
The door opened slowly.
To Joan's surprise, it was Edward Gates standing outside the door.
The general's son hesitated to take a step, then stopped and cast an apologetic look at Joan.
"Thomas said you were sick...didn't disturb your rest?"
"Of course not, please come in."
Joan opened the chair on the side of the desk and motioned for him to sit down and chat.
"I'm not seriously ill, just a little seasick... Edward, is your injury better?"
"Thanks to Miss Martha and Rebecca for healing me, I'm much better."
Edward moved his left arm to show Joan that the wound was fine.
"That's good." Joan poured Edward a glass of water and stopped talking.
He was really not good at chatting, and he couldn't think of anything else to talk about for a while.
"Congratulations on winning the runner-up in the hunting competition. When I learned that you and Major Vasa teamed up to kill Prince Razor, I couldn't believe it was true."
Edward shrugged awkwardly.
"Just this morning, my team also encountered the Razor Prince. To be honest, we were all frightened and stupid at the time. We didn't even have the courage to hunt and kill this monster, let alone the strength to confront it head-on. The only thing we could do It was just to escape, and in the end, only Martin and I managed to escape from Prince Razor's clutches, and the other two teammates were unfortunately sacrificed..."
Joan nodded.
At this time, it seemed inappropriate for him to say anything other than sympathy.
Edward sighed, and continued: "Martin and I ran for our lives in a panic in the jungle, and finally got rid of the pursuit of Prince Razor, but we didn't expect to get into the killer's lair again..."
"Thomas later told me that the evil little man was 'Spring Heeled' Jack. I had heard horror stories about him, but I didn't expect that one day I would almost become the prey of this perverted killer."
Joan nodded again, feeling deep sympathy for Edward's experience all day, and realized that he should say something to comfort Edward, but he didn't know where to start.
"I was able to escape Little Jack's butcher's knife, and I would like to thank you for your timely rescue."
Edward finally talked about the point of visiting Joan specially, with gratitude and shame intertwined in his eyes.
"I treated you very badly in the fencing gymnasium before. It was all my fault. I hope you don't take offense."
"Of course not." Joan shook his head, "Don't mention the past."
After getting his forgiveness, Edward breathed a sigh of relief, took off the silver sheep's head ring on his hand, handed it to Joan, and said earnestly: "This magic ring can be regarded as a repayment for saving my life, please accept it if you don't mind it." .”
After hesitating for a long time, Joan silently took the ring from Edward, and immediately felt a trace of magic power lingering around her fingertips.
The ring is forged in white gold, and the ring face is carved in the shape of a ram's head, which looks very unique.
Joan remembered that Edward had activated the magic power contained in this ring during the hunt, and shot a shock wave to knock down the strong and ferocious wild boar.
The effect of the spell looks similar to that of "Magic Missile" or "Thunder Stomp". They both belong to the "force field attribute" evocation spell, but their power is much greater than the former two, and it should be a level 2 spell.
Joan himself has a wealth of experience in enchanting, and he often deals with Yangbo Trading Company. After a little observation, he can estimate that the value of this magic ring will never be less than two thousand gold coins.
He really liked the ring, but when he noticed that there was an inscription engraved on the inside of the ring, "May the gods protect my brother Eddie", he gave up the idea of accepting this generous gift.
"Eddie" is Edward's nickname. Judging from the inscription, this ring is likely to be a gift from Edward's elder brother, and it has a commemorative significance that cannot be measured by money.
Joan himself is a person who has not enjoyed much family affection, so that his feelings are weak.
However, this does not prevent him from respecting the family affection of others, especially those who pay attention to feelings—perhaps, this can also be regarded as a kind of compensatory psychology.
"Edward, I can't accept such an expensive gift." Joan raised her hand to prevent Edward from interjecting, and continued: "But I really want to study the enchanting process of this ring, can you lend it to me for one night, and I will come back to school tomorrow. Back to you."
"Of course!" Edward smiled relievedly, got up and said goodbye to Joan, "I won't disturb your rest, see you tomorrow afternoon at the swordsmanship hall."
"Swordsmanship hall?" Joan was slightly taken aback, then nodded knowingly and smiled, "Okay, I was just about to ask you for swordsmanship lessons."
After seeing off Edward Gates, Joan couldn't wait to return to the desk, and put the magic ring under the bright candlestick for observation.
Pick up the quill pen, dip it in "Deep Sea Squid Ink", and carefully draw the No. 4 rune "Ansuz" on the outside of the ring, revealing its enchanting nature.
The result of the appraisal was just as Joan had guessed in advance. This ring was enchanted with a 2-ring evocation spell called "Force Field Shock".
The wearer can release "Force Field Shock" up to 3 times a day. The magic power is manifested as a translucent shock wave, which bombards a designated target within 150 feet, causing 5 levels of force field damage and possibly knocking back the target and fall.
Joan copied the analyzed spell into his spell book.
Now that he has come into contact with the second level magic net, he has the foundation to learn the second-level spells. Copying spells is also a preliminary learning and thinking process.
It took an hour for Joan to finish transcribing "Force Field Shock" and gain a better understanding of this spell.
"Force Field Blast" is similar to "Magic Missile", both of which are offensive spells with the force field attribute. The initial attack range is around 100 feet, and the range and damage will be increased by the level of the caster.
Joan is now a level 3 mage, the limit range of "Force Field Blast" is about 130 feet, and the maximum destructive power is about 3 energy levels.
From the point of view of destructive power, this spell does not seem to have much advantage over a ring of magic like "Magic Missile". However, "Force Field Blast" is a level 2 spell after all, and its upper limit of magic power is as high as 10 energy levels. As the casting level increases, its advantages will become more obvious.
In addition to "Force Field Shock", Joan's spell book also recorded nearly ten second-level spells, all of which he had copied through various channels for a long time.
So far, he has only really mastered one "invisibility technique", and the rest of the second-level spells are just getting started.
The hunting conference is over, Joan has received two bonuses, and he is satisfied. He expects that his life will return to peace after returning to school, and he can concentrate on studying these spells.
Taking advantage of the cruise ship drifting at sea and still having some free time, Joan decided to sort out the 2-ring spells in the book in the order of transcription, so as to determine the order of key learning in the next step.
