Chapter 516 Myth Shrinking Technique

At this time, the coachman of the Davis family drew up the reins, slowed down the speed of the car, and turned to Joan and Clark for instructions: "There is a small hotel by the side of the road ahead, do you want to get out of the car and have a rest, and continue on your way after lunch? "

"I'm not hungry yet, but it's good to get out of the car and take a walk, brother, what do you think?" Clark asked Joan.

"I'm not hungry either." Joan stood up from the carriage and looked north along the avenue. The majestic city gate of Prince Harbor stood at the end of the avenue.

"Mr. Carter, how far is it from here to the south gate of Port Prince?" Joan asked the driver.

"It's not far, Master Vida, this is the outskirts of Prince Port. After passing the hotel in front, you can reach the South Gate in less than half an hour by car."

"How long does it take to walk?" Joan then asked.

"If you go faster, it will take about an hour, and it will only be three miles." The coachman replied with a smile.

Joan nodded, turned around and said to Clark in a low voice: "We are involved in the conflict between the Centaur and Henry Baldwin in Howes Town, and we are guaranteed to be on the blacklist of the conquest order, the garrison commander and security officer of Port Prince Chief Isaac Hook is not only a high-ranking member of the conquest order, but also Henry Baldwin's uncle and the backstage boss of the ranch. It has been five days since the incident, and General Hook has probably learned about our situation from Sharman the Snake Hand. If he ruined his good deed in House Town, I'm afraid he won't let you and me off easily, so we have to be more careful."

"My brother, what you said makes sense, but how should we guard against it?"

Clark also realized the seriousness of the situation, and looked at Joan with a little anxiety.

"This is very close to Prince Port. The closer you are to the city gate, the more pedestrians will come and go on the road. There may be some spies from General Hooker among them. We'd better dismount from here and hide in the woods by the side of the road first. Make up a disguise, and then walk to Port Prince, so as not to be surrounded by patrols as soon as you enter the city, tied up and thrown into prison." Joan whispered.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Clark jumped out of the carriage, walked around to the front and had a low-key conversation with the coachman, handed him a gold coin, and sent him back to Howes Town with an empty cart.

The driver turned around on the same road, and Joan and Clark took advantage of no other pedestrians passing by on the road, and walked into the depths of the roadside maple forest to hide.

Joan first used a "disguise technique" to change her clothes and appearance, looked up at Clark, and suddenly realized a serious problem.

The frost giant is nearly fourteen feet tall, and no matter how much makeup is done, this burly figure will inevitably attract the curious eyes of passers-by.

If he just entered the city like this, he would attract the attention of the patrolmen by casually strolling around the street, and it would not take long for the wind to reach the ears of General Hook, and there was no guarantee that he would not be suspicious.

"Mr. Hainier, your height is too conspicuous, I have to find a way to make you shorter."

Joan walked up to the Frost Giant and tried to bless him with the 1st ring of "Humanity Reduction", but the casting failed.

In hindsight, it's not surprising.

The upper limit of the level 1 "human reduction technique" is too low, and it is impossible to reduce any creature by one level without limit. When the inventor of this spell designed the spell configuration, it stipulated the approximate scope of application—— The spell works only on "humanoids".

Clark belongs to the "giant family". Although he looks like a human, he is not a humanoid creature in the strict sense, so the "human reduction technique" is invalid for him.

Joan folded his arms across his chest, looked up at the frost giant and thought for a while, then thought of a new way of casting spells, and started to try it.

This time, Joan didn't cast the spell directly. He first called a "power of myth" to replace it with a spell slot, and then blessed Clark with "myth reduction spell".

Ring 1 "human reduction surgery" is a product of compromise.

The reason why the spell restricts the subject's group is because the magic energy level of the 1st-level spell slot is too low, which constitutes a "soft constraint" on the effectiveness of the spell.

In this sense, the magic power level of a spell slot is like money. How much money can do a lot of things: a rich lady can afford real gold and silver jewelry, but a poor girl can only spend a small amount of money to temporarily rent jewelry, or simply buy glass. Made imitations.

For the common people, in many cases, money can really do whatever they want. The same thing applies to the spellcaster class, if your mana is strong enough, you can do whatever you want!

Joan's "Mythical Power" can not only replace the spell slot, but also increase the upper limit of magic power with the improvement of his spellcasting ability, which is always equivalent to the highest ring spell slot he possesses.

Joan is a level 4 mage, currently he can use up to 2nd-level spells. The magic power converted from a "mythical power" is equivalent to a 2nd-level spell slot. If it is used to match a 1st-level spell such as "shrinking", it will There is a lot of unusable magic power left, just like spending a gold coin to buy a commodity with a market price of one silver coin. ".

The result of this attempt once again verified the axiom of the caster class——

With enough power, you can do whatever you want!

The normal version of the "human shrinking technique" did not work on the frost giants, but the "myth shrinking technique" successfully changed Clark's size!

After casting the spell, Joan observed Clark's new image and found a detail worth thinking about.

If he casts the "myth reduction technique" on a humanoid creature, he can shrink the opponent's height to 1/4 of its normal size at most, that is, two size levels are reduced; and he casts the "myth reduction technique" on Clark, and finally It can only shrink Clark to 1/2 of his normal body size, which is only equivalent to the effect of the ordinary version of shrinking surgery.

Since the subject of the spell is beyond the range limited by the spell configuration, it is normal for the effect of the spell to shrink.

Fortunately, this kind of spell effect is enough for Clark. Now his height has been reduced from 14 feet to 7 feet, and his weight has also been reduced from nearly 3000 pounds to 350 pounds. He looks like a blue-skinned Human strong man.

Unless it is someone who is very familiar with Clark, it is almost impossible to see his true identity.

Clark took the felt hat and hand mirror from Joan, put on the hat first, and then took a look in the mirror. Satisfied with his new image, he followed Joan back to the avenue and walked towards the south of Port-Prince. door.

Not long after they arrived at the city gate, Joan and Clark lowered their heads and mixed into the bustling crowd, followed the flow of people through the city gate without arousing the guard's vigilance. After entering the city, the two looked at each other with relieved smiles.
