Chapter 520 Cheating
Is Shrek far stronger than ordinary ogres, or is Clark himself in poor condition?
Joan remembered that the "advanced internal vision" he had blessed before had not expired, so he quietly activated the spell, and while Shrek was concentrating on wrestling his wrists, he secretly peeked into the details of the mythical ogre lord.
...
Scouting target: Shrek (male mythical ogre)
Health status: good
Extraordinary Occupation: Tier 2 Wild Myth Ogre/Warrior 6
Attributes: Strength 28, Dexterity 8, Constitution 20, Intelligence 9, Wisdom 10, Charisma 13
...
Joan recalled the description of the ogre group in the "Wares Monster Illustrated Book". Statistics show that the power attribute of an adult male ogre is roughly between 20 and 22, and Shrek's strength is obviously much higher than the average level of the group. However, this is also in line with his status as the "Lord of Mythical Ogre".
Joan remembered that Clark's strength attribute was 32, which was 4 points higher than Shrek's strength attribute. This was a significant advantage, but why wasn't it reflected in the arm wrestling competition?
Full of doubts, Joan turned to look at Clark, using "advanced inner vision" to observe his attributes.
The result surprised him. Clark's strength attribute was degraded to 30, inexplicably weakened by 2 points, but his agility attribute was increased by an additional 2 points. What's going on?
Joan stared at Clark in deep thought, and a sense of comprehension gradually appeared in his eyes.
Joan himself was to blame for this matter. In order to enter the city smoothly, he used the "myth reduction technique" to change Clark's size.
This spell reduces the frost giant's height by half, and at the same time reduces the strength attribute by 2 points and increases the agility attribute by 2 points in response to the change in size.
In this way, Clark's strength does not have much advantage over Shrek, and he is affected by the "myth reduction technique", his height and weight have become significantly lower than Shrek, and he has suffered a disadvantage in terms of size. From morning until now, he was only on his way, didn't even have time to eat lunch, and wrestled with Shrek on a hungry stomach. The combination of various unfavorable factors resulted in Clark not being able to play his due level in the game, and he fell into a fight with Shrek. An embarrassing situation of stalemate.
The sound of the piano in his ears interrupted Joan's thinking. When he turned his head, he saw that it was Casio who was plucking the strings and singing an unknown ballad.
After listening to it for a while, Joan realized that the music played by Casio this time was much more beautiful than the ones played on stage before. He praised a noble general with a magnetic voice, who became a slave because he was defeated and captured. The story of being sent to the gladiator training camp by the master, and fighting the beast in order to regain freedom and glory.
This song is also commensurate with the fierce wrestling atmosphere of the two strongmen at the scene.
It seems that Shrek is right. It's not that Casio doesn't know how to please the audience, it's just that it is often reluctant to do so.
Qiao An didn't understand why Casio played the piano and sang at such a time, but the artist's thinking was always very out of bounds. At first, he only thought that Casio was inspired by the warm atmosphere of the scene, and he didn't take it seriously.
However, he soon realized that something was wrong!
The magic net, which was originally randomly distributed in the surrounding space, is being disturbed in an unnatural way. It is clearly affected by Casio's playing and singing, and it is rapidly forming a specific configuration!
The threads of the magic net distributed in the endless space of each plane of the multiverse, if there is no external force interference, are in a state of disordered high-entropy value. The chaotic magic power conflicts and cancels each other out, and cannot produce specific effects.
Except for spellcasters who are very sensitive to magic power, the general public does not even feel the existence of the so-called "magic net" around them. After all, whether this thing exists or not, it will not have a significant impact on the daily life of most people.
As for spellcasters and those who are good at using supernatural abilities, the world in their eyes is completely different from that of ordinary people, and the magic net is a crucial and indispensable part of their world.
The so-called "magic", including the so-called "supernatural ability", actually use a special technique to change the distribution probability of the local magic net, so that it can be transformed from a disordered random distribution into an ordered configuration, thus Reduce the entropy value, so that the magic power that was originally "disordered and useless" becomes "ordered and useful".
This is the effect caused by spells and supernatural abilities. Whether it can summon wind and rain or attract thunder and electricity, it depends on the specific "configuration" of the magic net—or it is more appropriate to call it a "probability cloud".
From this perspective, all types of spellcasters and superpowers in the world are actually "weavers of the magic net". The essence of magic released by a mage is to weave the magic net. Weaving magic nets is nothing more than different weaving techniques.
It is precisely because of the above-mentioned nature of the same approach but equally effective that when the local magic net in the tavern is disturbed, gradually changing from a disorderly random distribution to an orderly and followable probability feature, Joan immediately realizes sensitively that Casio is using the bard's Occupational abilities are playing tricks secretly!
Joan is not a bard, so he can't recognize the mystery of Casio's performance in a short time, but based on the different expressions of Clark and Shrek after hearing his playing and singing, it's not difficult for Joan to guess that Casio's behavior has ruined the show. fairness of the game.
Casio's playing and singing actually formed two different magical configurations.
The sound of the piano mainly affects Clark, interferes with his mentality, and makes Clark inexplicably upset, unable to concentrate all his attention on the game; at the same time, the hymn sung by Casio doubles Shrek's fighting spirit and is greatly encouraged. He will eventually win, and under the influence of this positive and confident attitude, Shrek's performance in the game will obviously be even better.
Clark and Shrek, the two were evenly matched, but now they were suddenly disturbed by Casio's playing and singing. Under the ebb and flow, Clark immediately showed his weakness, his wrist was forced to tilt to the outside of the table, his face was flushed, and sweat dripped down his forehead .
"Rúma!"
Joan suddenly chanted a mantra, the magic power surged in front of him, and the invisible "mage's hand" emerged out of thin air, and flew to Casio by remote control under his thought, holding down the strings tightly.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly!
Casio stopped singing and looked at Joan in amazement.
The young mage didn't say a word, his delicate and handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
The moment Casio made eye contact with Joan, he knew that the other party had seen through his cheating behavior just now and cast a spell in time to stop it. He could not help but feel hot, and put down the lute with a smile.
