Chapter 311 Storm From the Old World (Ⅰ)

As the name suggests, "change shape" can temporarily change the subject into a creature with a similar biological type to itself.

For example, a human mage can transform into most humanoid creatures by using the transformation technique, including not only human males, females and even transgender people, but also goblins, gnomes, dwarves, elves, lizardmen, orcs, etc. A group of people with close ancestry.

The operation method of the transformation technique is quite complicated. The caster can either turn into a person who does not exist in the world out of nothing, or simulate someone's figure, appearance and clothing, and become exactly the same as the other party.

No matter what kind of transformation method is used, the subject's own attributes and professional abilities usually will not change before and after transformation, but the functions related to physiological characteristics may undergo earth-shaking changes.

For example, when Joan turns into a winged man, he has a pair of wings and can fly freely for the duration of the transformation; even if he can't swim originally, after becoming a mermaid, he can grow scales and gills, like a real mermaid. Breathe and swim underwater like a mermaid.

"Transfiguration" can also temporarily change a person's gender.

If a man transforms into a woman, she can conceive and give birth to offspring like a real woman, but the spell usually cannot last until she completes the long pregnancy, and once the spell ends and turns back into a man, the seed of life conceived in her body will also be destroyed. Quietly annihilated.

Casting the "Transformation" technique to become a specific creature requires the creature's hair or flesh and blood as the material for casting the spell.

Human mages can usually only transform into humans or similar humanoids, but Joan noticed a detail when transcribing the scroll - "Transformation" is also applicable to special bloodlines!

For example, a mage has the blood of a devil. Although he looks no different from ordinary people on the surface, when he casts the "transformation technique", in addition to regular humanoid creatures, he can also choose to become some kind of devil—as long as the devil His vitality will not be strong enough to exceed the magic power limit of the 2-level spell.

Seeing this explanatory text, Joan naturally thought that he has a "strange bloodline", so wouldn't he be able to become all kinds of strange monsters?

It's a pity that he doesn't know much about strange creatures. He only knows a few famous species such as mind flayers, beholders, and aboleths. These famous strange creatures are too powerful. With his current spellcasting Ability, even if it is barely conjured up, it may seem fake, and it is not an easy task to collect the flesh and blood of these rare and strange monsters as materials for casting spells.

Patting his forehead lightly, Joan dispelled those unrealistic delusions, and decided to go to the private library of Vasa's house after copying these spell scrolls, and find the "Strange Sub-volume" of "Vares Monster Illustrated Book" If you read it carefully, you may be able to find some more practical "anchor objects" for the "transformation technique".

...

The school is like an "ivory tower", no matter how the outside world changes, there is always room for a quiet desk.

However, when the whole world of Vales changes suddenly, and the coming storm is shrouded from the old continent to the new continent, Joan, who is devoted to his studies in the "ivory tower", can't be alone, and is forced to walk out of the campus and get involved in this incident. Unexpected storm.

Maybe it's because Miaomiao, Ah Zhi, and Teacher Benny all work in the newspaper office, and under the influence of friends, people like Joan who didn't care about current affairs have recently developed the habit of reading newspapers.

In the early morning of July 14th, Joan went to the grocery store near the dormitory to get milk, and bought a copy of the "Leiden Post" issued that day for one silver coin as a pastime for breakfast.

Joan turned to the front page of the newspaper, and a rather eye-catching headline came into view: Riots in the Far East!

Joan thought for a while before remembering that the so-called "Far East" region in the newspaper headlines refers to the easternmost province in the Ashan Empire.

The local climate is extremely cold, and half of the year is winter. The wilderness is covered with boundless virgin coniferous forests. It has been a barren land where wild animals and bandits have been rampant since ancient times.

Those bankrupt peasants in the interior of the empire who lost their land would rather take the risk of being buried in the belly of a fish and travel across the ocean to seek a living in the New World than migrate to the Far East to open up wasteland on the frozen soil surrounded by wolves and orcs. The territory of the empire has not been fully developed over the years, and it still maintains the original ecology of desolation and bitter cold.

Later, the Far East Province was simply used by the imperial authorities as a place of exile for punishing prisoners, especially those "heretics" and "heretics" judged by the "Holy See of Light", if their crimes were not serious enough to be burned to the stake, Packing everything up and driving them to the Far Eastern provinces to open up wasteland is considered waste utilization.

Over time, these heretic exiles and their descendants gradually became the main residents of the Far East, intermarried with the local aboriginal barbarians.

The cultural traditions originating from the inland of the empire are also fused with the myths and customs of the local natives, forming a unique style of civilization, which is gradually drifting away from the mainstream culture in the inland of the empire, so that a brand new nation has evolved—— That is what the locals call themselves "Far Easterners".

The birth of a new nation is quite a long process, often accompanied by the formation of new beliefs and cultural consensus.

When this process reaches an irreversible stage, this brand-new nation will inevitably get rid of the double shackles imposed on it by the suzerain state on its spirit and body, and seek broader freedom and rights.

Of course, the imperial authorities would not accept the demands made by these humble heretics, and violent suppression became a logical means.

However, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The more the imperial authorities oppress the residents of the Far East, the more the locals hate this regime that does not regard itself as a human being. Bridging, but being torn apart is getting bigger and bigger.

This kind of "suppression-resistance" friction has been going on for many years. The imperial authorities can always suppress the resistance momentum of the Far East with their powerful force. I don't think this group of barbarians who are scattered like sand can accomplish anything.

However, when the time came to the beginning of this century, the situation gradually changed. An underground sect called "Sindra Church" expanded rapidly in the Far East, replacing "Pelor Church" and indigenous gods as the local mainstream belief, and the number of believers is increasing day by day.

The "Church of Syndra" was denounced as a "cult" by the orthodox Holy See of the Empire, but the idol it worships is not that kind of unpopular evil god.

"Ms. Fate" Syndra is one of the two well-known "Goddesses of Fate" in the Vales world, and the twin sister of "Queen of Karma" Timothy, whose divine power is not inferior to that of "Sun God" Pelor.

The spread of the Syndra Church has gradually unified the beliefs of the people in the Far East. As a witness of this trend, it is said that Ms. Destiny has promoted a young man born and bred in the Far East as her voter, and awarded this "Roland Kolas" The Son of Destiny" leads the people of the Far East in their lofty mission of establishing a divine kingdom on earth.

If the religious cloak of the "Kingdom of God on Earth" is stripped off, the believers of Goddess of Destiny headed by the voters of Syndra are undoubtedly actively seeking to separate the Far Eastern provinces from the empire's territory, and then establish an independent Far Eastern country.

In the early summer of 1620, the signs of independence in the Far East had already appeared, and the international community was also aware of it. However, due to slow response or overconfidence, the imperial authorities have so far not taken substantive actions against this dangerous sign.

The current Governor and Archbishop of the Far East, Philip Wallenstein, has also repeatedly stated that these cultists are nothing to worry about. Instead of making efforts to crack down on the Far East militias who generally worship the goddess Syndra, they have greatly reused the leader of this heretical army—Sindra Voters Roland Colas' father - General Rudolf Colas.

This chapter begins with two noteworthy details.

First of all, the protagonist has learned the "transformation technique", which is the most important 2-ring spell.

Compared with mages who have learned the transformation technique, those who have not learned it are two completely different creatures.

If it is not so serious, the protagonist has been almost invincible since he learned the transformation technique in this chapter.

It's not that this spell can bring much damage, but that it provides more possibilities, infinite possibilities.

With the transformation technique, you can use transformation to solve obstacles when you encounter obstacles. These methods were unimaginable before.

Of course, the transfiguration technique can only transform humanoid creatures, and there are still limitations. The truly unlimited possibilities will have to wait until one learns the transfiguration technique.

I didn't limit the protagonist's spell school, but relatively speaking, I prefer the change school because it's the most fun.

Another detail is that the timeline has reached the critical node of "Far East Revolution".

Book friends who have read the previous work "Far Eastern King's Court" may still have some impressions of this.

This event will also have some impact on the New World, and these impacts will also involve the change of the protagonist's fate.
