Chapter 886 Guidance

Joan's last experiment with the bee needle was to test its hardness.

He didn't know if the bee needle could grow back after it was broken, so he was very careful when testing it, lest it cause damage.

Test results show that the hardness of chitin bee needles is similar to that of steel.

As a weapon, this kind of hardness is enough, but in the fierce battle, it will inevitably suffer from wear and tear.

In consideration of protecting the bee needles, Joan thought of two options, either avoid using this natural weapon as much as possible, or enchant it to increase its hardness and power.

From Joan's point of view, of course, he is more inclined to choose the second option.

Unfortunately, he found a problem after trying it.

The core spell of the conventional enchanting process, "Enchanted Weapons", is only effective for man-made weapons, and this spell is powerless for flesh and blood "natural weapons".

To solve this problem, it is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say simple.

As long as "magic teeth" is used instead of "enchanted weapons", natural weapons such as "bee needles" can be enchanted, and the subsequent process is the same as that of man-made weapons.

"Magic Teeth" is just a simple level 1 spell.

Unfortunately, this is a "natural magic", and usually only druids or rangers have the opportunity to learn it.

Joan is a mage and cannot learn natural magic, so he can only put this idea aside for now.

After working for a while, write a letter to Kandy and ask her to send a scroll of "Magic Teeth" to solve the problem of enchanting bee needles.

Of the 4 supernatural abilities that Joan deciphered from his own blood, the last one left is called "Insect Identification".

The magic imprint of this supernatural ability is divided into two modules. The first module is not very interesting, and the second module makes Joan's eyes shine!

The first module of "Insect Identification", as its name suggests, is to enhance Joan's affinity when dealing with insect creatures, so that the other party is more willing to trust him.

This function is similar to the 1-ring natural magic "charm animals", except that the scope of charm is limited to "insect creatures" - including both natural insects and supernatural insects such as "earth diggers".

The second module of "Insect Identity" is amazing.

On the basis of winning the favor of insect creatures, Joan can also forcibly increase the intelligence attribute of the opponent by 1 point, and domesticate it as his pet.

The function of this module reminded Joan of the 5-ring natural magic "Enlightenment", but its power is not as powerful as "Enlightenment", and it is only effective for insect creatures with low intelligence, and it can increase the intelligence of the opponent to at most 2 points, which is the level of a hound, higher will not work.

In addition to "worm identity", Joan also has a special ability called "worm mind" in the insect form, which can greatly increase his resistance to magic and supernatural abilities that affect the mind.

This is a very useful ability, but there are not many details worth digging into.

Qiao An's last research link on "Insect Form" is to investigate how his physical attributes will change after transformation.

This question is easy to answer, as long as you release a 0-ring "Inner Sight" on yourself, and then switch to the "Beeman" and "Giant Bee" forms, you can directly see the changes in your body attributes.

After some tests, Joan listed two sets of data in the experiment log.

From human form to "bee man" form, his three physical attributes, strength, agility and constitution, all have +2 point enhancement.

From the human form to the "giant bee" form, the change is more drastic, and the corresponding body attributes change even more.

Strength and constitution are +4 each, agility and perception are +2 each, and intelligence attributes are -2 points, which is the only fly in the ointment.

Joan thought for a while, and guessed that after he became a "giant bee", he completely lost his human form, and his brain tissue might be affected to a certain extent, resulting in a decline in intelligence.

The giant bee form provided him with a total of 12 bonus points for various attributes. In comparison, a slight loss of intelligence is completely acceptable.

Fortunately, his intelligence is high enough, and there are still as many as 27 points if he reduces it by 2 points. Moreover, he cannot cast spells in the giant bee form, so the loss of intelligence has little effect.

When Joan was lost in thought, a hound suddenly barked outside the window.

He came back to his senses, went to the window to have a look, and then realized that he was addicted to research work. Unknowingly, the afternoon passed by, the sky outside the window had already darkened, and there was a dog barking in the distance. It seemed that it was the tutor and Harry. The young master has returned from hunting.

Accompanied by Harry Kaufman, Professor Moriarty had a great time this afternoon and returned with a full reward.

At the dinner table, the professor was eating roasted wild duck while listening to his students report on the latest progress in the research on "worm disease".

Throwing away the duck leg bone in his hand, Professor Moriarty wiped off the grease from his hands with a napkin, lit a pipe and stuffed it into his mouth, while gesturing to Joan.

This gesture looks like counting money, but also like asking a restaurant waiter for a bill.

Fortunately, Qiao An still has some understanding of his mentor's habitual movements. After a slight start, he realized his intentions, wiped his hands quickly, opened the storage bag, and took out a thick book about the research on "worm disease" Notes, please review with your instructor.

Professor Moriarty was smoking his pipe, flipping through the student's notes, nodding his head in approval.

"Joan, your research is very insightful. Go back and organize the contents of this notebook into a paper, and it will be absolutely no problem to publish the "Alpha Review."

"But having said that, if your exploration of 'worm disease' stops at summing up the superficial mutation symptoms, it's like discovering a gold mine. It's enough to dig a shallow layer of open-pit ore, but you don't know what's buried deep underground. It would be a waste to turn a blind eye to the rich mineral veins."

Joan listened carefully to the instructor's instructions, thinking about what he meant.

Obviously, the tutor not only affirmed his research results, but also criticized him in a tactful way for his narrow field of vision, and the content of his research was only superficial, too superficial, and had not touched the "deeper level" of more academic value. Mineral lode".

"Mentor, can you tell me in detail, which direction should I go for further research?"

On academic issues, Joan has always been very open-minded, and Professor Moriarty is also generous.

"Let me raise an idea. You should think about it yourself. Is it worth exploring in depth?"

Professor Moriarty put down his notebook, took two puffs of his pipe, and seemed to be sorting out his thoughts.

"Joan, so far, you have summed up ten mutation characteristics of patients with 'worm disease', but I found that you have missed a less conspicuous but very important mutation characteristic."

"What do you mean?"

Qiao An really couldn't think of anything else that he hadn't considered thoroughly.
