Chapter 584: Navigation Compass
While transcribing, Joan also had a thorough understanding of the ring that was attached with "Transfiguration" and "Advanced Spell Delay".
The function of a magic device is always closely related to the spells and super magic skills it is attached to. This ancient magic device named "Form Stability Ring" is no exception. Its function is to make the wearer's blessings The duration of the transformation spell effect is increased by one level!
Joan was not surprised by this.
What he really admired was that the maker of this ring used a very ingenious technique, which included almost all magic and supernatural powers in the world that could change his own shape. The first-level "magnifying technique", the second-level "transformation technique", the fourth-level "transformation technique" or other weird ways, the duration of the transformation effect must automatically increase by one level.
For example, "enlargement", "reduction" and "transfiguration", the original duration is "tick (10 minutes)" as the unit, wearing this "shape stability ring" and then casting the above spells, the duration It becomes the unit of "hour".
Based on Joan's current spellcasting level, plus the 2 additional spellcasting levels of "mythical mana", under the effect of the "shape stability ring", the above three spells can last for up to 6 hours. It is undoubtedly a great boon for Joan, who uses spells for fighting and flying, and can save a lot of spell slots.
If that's all, it won't shock Joan.
As long as he learns "Advanced Spell Delay", he can also supermagic the above-mentioned transformation spells without using the "Form Stability Ring", and receive the same effect.
However, some special transformation effects are not caused by spells. For example, Joan can temporarily transform into a powerful treant by stimulating the magic power contained in the "Branch of Ilminsur". This is indeed a transformation effect. But it is not achieved through his own spellcasting, so it cannot be loaded with super magic effects.
The Treeman is certainly powerful, but the only fly in the ointment is that the duration of the transformation is too short, only 2 minutes, unless it is a critical moment, Qiao An is reluctant to use this secret weapon.
Now that he has the "Form Stability Ring", this problem is easily solved. The most incredible thing about the "Form Stability Ring" is that it is also effective for supernatural transformations like the "Branch of Irminsur" with the help of foreign objects!
If Joan wears this ring and transforms into a treant, then the duration of the treant will be extended tenfold, from the original maximum of 2 minutes to a maximum of 20 minutes.
With such ample time for transformation, Joan doesn't have to worry about suddenly changing back to his original shape during the battle.
With excitement, Joan put the "Form Stability Ring" on his left ring finger, rubbed it for a long time before he was reluctant to look away, and looked at the last treasure from Yunzhong City, the palm-sized ring. black compass.
The next step is of course the usual operation, pick up the pen and dip in the ink, draw the No. 4 rune on the back of the compass, analyze the magic attached to the compass, and then identify its specific function.
After some in-depth identification, Joan learned that this thing is called "Navigation Compass", and it is attached to two spells, namely, the 5th ring "Ask Nature" and the 2nd ring "Surveying and Mapping".
"Ask nature" belongs to the category of "natural magic". Joan is not a Druid, so he cannot learn this magic. Fortunately, "Surveying and Mapping" is a 2-ring ritual arcane spell. It takes 10 minutes to prepare the spell-casting ceremony, and you can use it in A rough topographic map of the surrounding area is drawn on a blank plane such as a paper or a wall, including naturally formed terrain such as mountains, rivers, and artificial structures such as buildings, bridges, and roads.
The maximum mapping distance of "Surveying and Mapping" is proportional to the level of the caster. Joan can learn this widely used ritual spell now, with his current casting level, plus the increase of "Mythical Mana", sitting in the tent After ten minutes of meditation, you can pick up a pen and draw a rough topographic map within 6 miles of the surrounding area.
This is useful during travel and exploration. Especially in primitive jungles or "dark areas" and other unfamiliar environments with complex terrain and lack of light, using "surveying and mapping" to understand the surrounding terrain can minimize getting lost.
The "Navigation Compass" attached with "Survey and Mapping" and "Ask Nature", is compatible with the functions of the above two spells and has been enhanced.
Joan carries this seemingly inconspicuous compass with him, and he can keep track of the distribution of mountains, rivers, road traffic, and wild animals and plants within 30 miles around him at any time, and automatically generate a map containing all the above information and store it. available to him at any time.
In addition, this compass can also automatically record the precise coordinates of the holder's location, so that the holder can check where he has been at any time.
Joan held the navigation compass in his hand and tried to read the activation spell, wanting to check what map data the previous owner of the compass had stored and where he had been.
However, he was slightly disappointed by the results of the search. The previous owner of the navigation compass seemed to have intentionally erased most of the map data stored in the magic device, leaving only one coordinate. Constantly changing, it seems to be on a sailing ship.
Qiao An took the navigation compass and studied it for a long time, and gradually realized that this constantly changing coordinates probably corresponded to the real-time location of Cloud City.
Now that he knew the exact coordinates of Cloud City, Joan naturally had an association.
Can I retrieve the "City in the Clouds" according to the coordinates, continue to explore the unsolved mysteries in the castle, and even try to occupy this City in the Clouds, inheriting the great legacy of the cloud giant Vavrunil?
The idea is wonderful, but there are two big obstacles between ideal and reality.
First of all, the location of Cloud City seems to be in a plane parallel to the world of Vales where Joan lives, and cannot be directly reached.
The last time Qiao An climbed up to the Cloud City by using the Sky-reaching Vine grown from the Magic Bean, and when the position of the Cloud City was severely shifted, the Sky-reaching Vine would also disappear, and Qiao An did not have a second Magic Bean However, there is currently no other way to return to Cloud City.
Of course, this hurdle is not insurmountable in the long run.
For example, after learning the 7-ring spell "Transfer from Another World" in the future, Qiao An can use the precise coordinates provided by the navigation compass to directly teleport to Cloud City.
If this goal is too far away, there are compromises, such as trying to buy a scroll of "Transportation from Another World", even with his current low level of spellcasting, he can still use the scroll to teleport back to Cloud City in an instant.
