Chapter 173: Ahn'Qiraj I [Subscribe]
Chen Xuan is not an ordinary magic practitioner.
He has a rare dual top talent, which allows him to practice spiritual meditation while practicing magic.
He also has an excellent elemental magic sensing talent.
This makes his spiritual power far superior to that of magic practitioners of the same level.
Currently, Chen Xuan's magic cultivation is at the third-level silver level, while his spiritual meditation is at the second-level bronze level.
Even the bronze-level spiritual power brings a significant improvement.
In the case of distraction, he can do ten things at once without any pressure.
You have to know that in order to easily build a spell model to complete the spellcasting, both the delicate control of the mind and the spiritual power are indispensable.
It is no pressure for Chen Xuan to control a few magic clones.
Assuming that he can create ten clones, even if he only controls them to operate the heavy machine gun to suppress the monsters with firepower, it is also a considerable combat power.
However, the practice of [Magic Clone] will have to be put off for a while.
He has no time to rest yet.
He checked [Shadow Poison Emblem] and [Dream Beast Bone Fragment] one after another.
Now there is only one of the three ancient wonders that has not been carefully checked.
This is a necklace with a unique shape, and the pendant hanging in the middle is an "eye".
It is about the same size as a dragon eye, made of dark gold, and a black and shiny gem is embedded in the position of the pupil.
This "eye" necklace cannot be directly activated by magic.
Holding it in the hand is like a pure jewelry.
Only Chen Xuan knows that this thing is also a precious ancient wonder.
It comes from a treasure left by ancient civilization in some ruins on the Naroa continent.
This may be a bit exaggerated, but the ancient civilization of Naroa is indeed mysterious and magnificent.
Holding the necklace in his hand, Chen Xuan activated [Insight] again for observation.
The golden subtitles appeared line by line, constantly providing information prompts, allowing him to quickly understand the activation method and origin of this necklace.
[Mountain Eagle Guard's All-Seeing Eye]
[It can be activated by soaking three water clocks with eagle blood. Wearing the All-Seeing Eye will give you the [All-Seeing] ability]
[All-Seeing: It has 0.1 ultra-macro vision to a maximum zoom viewing distance of 15 times and greatly improves the viewing distance. When concentrating, you can activate the bird's-eye view through your mind, and perform ultra-wide-angle bird's-eye observation at an altitude of 500 meters to 1200 meters above the ground]
...
This ancient wonder can actually give Chen Xuan super vision.
Including ultra-macro and long-distance zoom, as well as ultra-long viewing distance and bird's-eye vision.
This is equivalent to turning his eyes into professional-grade optical cameras.
Combined with the visual zoom ability obtained when practicing the mental power meditation method, his eyesight is definitely comparable to the magic eagle's eye, and can even reach the level of the top high-altitude drone reconnaissance aircraft in Blue Star.
However, the activation condition requires eagle blood. The prompt information of [Insight] does not indicate the type of eagle, and it is estimated that any eagle will do.
This is easy to do. There are all kinds of fancy items in Magtan City.
Later, let Baron Besos find a way to get some blood of eagle monsters or monsters.
Chen Xuan's calculations were "clacking". After subduing the baron, he could mobilize more manpower and channels.
These ancient wonders have their own characteristics. Among them, [Shadow Poison Emblem] can be immediately transformed into combat power.
However, [Dream Beast Bone Fragment] and [Mountain Eagle Guard's All-Seeing Eye] have more complicated activation processes and cannot be used immediately.
However, it did not prevent Chen Xuan from preparing for activation.
When he put away the pendant, a magic letter flew in from the window and landed on the table.
Chen Xuan raised his hand to touch the letter, and the rolled letter unfolded.
The magic letter can only be opened by the recipient. If others touch it, the letter will be automatically destroyed.
The sender was Ophelia, who said in the letter that she had selected 680 young and clever street rats from the Broken Finger Gang and the Coolie Mule. Their magic element cultivation was between the Black Iron and Bronze levels. They were on standby in the third circle of the West District and could accept his arrangements at any time.
They had all signed slave contracts with Chen Xuan, so there was no need to worry about loyalty.
Chen Xuan was going to take these street rats to Miaowadi to receive temporary training from the DKBA fungus instructor.
As an assistant, he had to send someone to supervise.
The two sisters Dora became the best choice.
It just so happened that the two sisters had already mastered the basic skills of firearms, and they loved playing with firearms.
It was a good choice to let them watch in Miaowadi in person.
Moreover, the two sisters had some knowledge of firearms, which could alleviate the language barrier problem to a certain extent.
In fact, the language problem was nothing. There were many feasible ways for intelligent creatures to communicate information.
As long as Chen Xuan took the time to go there frequently and explain the key points a little bit, and just learned from the instructor how to master the equipment, there should be no problem.
After all, firearms are something that can be mastered after a few demonstrations.
Extraordinary physique will help these street rats quickly master the shooting of firearms.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to master the shooting of firearms soon.
Regardless of whether they can shoot accurately or not, Chen Xuan's expectation and goal for them is just to get started.
After getting started, each person will be given a rifle with several bombs, attached with magic elements, and will shoot at the monster army "bang bang". This scale of firepower suppression is not comparable to the garrison's shooter troops.
In addition, even if there is no threat of magic disaster, Chen Xuan should gradually cultivate his own team.
Extraordinary power plus firearms is the best combination.
A serious extraordinary shooter picks up a gun, and it can shoot quickly and accurately, and can also be blessed with magic elements to increase the power of the gun in a short time. These are advantages that Blue Star gunners do not have.
This is just an initial plan. According to Chen Xuan's thinking, he will have to give the Naroa world a comprehensive reform of magic firearms.
Combine Blue Star's firearms technology with Naroa's magic and rune technology to develop magic firearms that can lead both worlds at the same time.
From the two sisters Johnson Iron Furnace and Dora, he has learned some things about Eastern alchemists.
The Eastern Alchemy of the Naroa Continent has conducted in-depth research on magic explosives.
We must find some opportunities to recruit some talents in this area!
There is still too much potential to be tapped in this regard.
Chen Xuan sent a reply letter, explaining the follow-up arrangements and the matter of Magtan City preparing to purchase tens of millions of magic tears.
Ophelia did not have so many stocks in hand, and he had to go to hand them over in person later.
After replying to the magic letter, watching it fly out of the window again, Chen Xuan stood up and prepared to leave to find a temple to get some wool. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Baron Besos walking hurriedly along the corridor.
Seeing Chen Xuan push the door and walk out, he was stunned for a moment, and then slowed down his pace.
"Master, as you requested."
"All the municipal and garrison officers in Magtan City and the heads of major associations, guilds, and joint organizations have been urgently summoned to the castle by me."
"They are waiting in the reception hall on the first floor."
"What do you think?"
Speaking of it, Bezos is really efficient.
After hearing his report, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and pointed to the study behind him.
"They are all swarming together, and it is difficult for me to subdue them."
"In this way, you ask the servants to call them to the study one by one."
It is certainly rogue to modify the contract, but the premise is that Chen can completely suppress the contracting party.
Then persuade the other party to conclude a temporary contract through coercion or inducement.
This method is very unethical. If you are not careful, you will fall into it and get on Chen Xuan's "pirate ship" completely.
But this does not mean that Chen Xuan can jump back and forth in front of a group of people.
If you want to subdue them reliably, you still have to do it one by one.
After all, the leaders in these cities basically have silver-level magic cultivation.
Among them, the old president of the Magtan City Magic Guild is the most difficult.
Her name is Anqila Lord. Her age and image are mysterious. She wears a magic-shielding coat all year round and doesn't care about the warnings of anti-magic detection in various places in the city.
She almost never shows her true face.
According to Baron Bessos's description, she should be a hunchbacked old woman.
She had reached the third-level spiritual meditation cultivation fifteen years ago, and was certified as a senior mage of the two elements of thunder and fire.
It is rumored that her current strength is infinitely close to that of a fourth-level great mage.
It is said that Anqila once released a modified version of the third-level [Thunderstorm] by herself, which brought down violent thunder within a radius of hundreds of meters.
As long as she is given enough release distance, this guy is a well-deserved magic turret on the battlefield.
This guy is the strongest person in Magtan City.
Although she has never officially broken through to the fourth level and obtained the title of Grand Mage, she is still awe-inspiring.
After all, the fourth-level spellcaster is benchmarked against the gold-level magic element cultivation.
In a group battle, the combat power that a fourth-level Grand Mage can exert is stronger than that of a gold-level magic element practitioner!
Because spellcasting is benchmarked against magic element, it has a half-level talent advantage.
Everyone can practice magic element, but not everyone has the talent for elemental and mental meditation.
High-level spellcasters can easily construct large-scale lethal magic, which can set off a frenzy similar to natural disasters in a local area. This is AOE damage, and the effect on the battlefield is definitely much greater than that of a gold-level magic element practitioner.
No matter how strong the gold-level is, it is at best just a fierce general, and it is not a problem to kill through a line.
But for high-level spellcasters, as long as the spell is formed, that kill can be a large area!
So that guy made Chen Xuan a little afraid.
Another important point is that the caster who practices mental meditation has an extremely sharp sixth sense.
Unlike the simple enhancement of the five senses, intuition is too mysterious.
Often it can sense danger or something wrong without warning.
Therefore, Chen Xuan plans to deal with Ahn'Qiraj, the most difficult guy, first.
In order to avoid delaying too long and letting her notice something.
With [Time Stop], Chen Xuan is sure to subdue her quickly.
The strength of the caster has never been close physical strength.
Facing the assault of the magic element practitioner, the caster who cannot keep a distance is easily subdued.
This is also a relatively weak point of the caster.
Normally, senior casters have some harassing magic that can be cast instantly to prevent the magic element practitioner from getting close.
Spells such as [Resist Fire Ring], [Lightning], and [Freeze] have similar effects.
However, under the time stop, I am afraid that Chen Xuan will not even have the chance to cast a spell.
He himself is a spellcaster, so he naturally understands the weaknesses and strengths of spellcasters.
After a brief thought, he had a clear plan.
This kind of collective gathering is mostly for meetings, and waiting is also common.
The city outside has passed the initial panic period, and now all aspects have stabilized again.
So these leaders can wait.
Anyway, the execution of the specific arrangements is also the responsibility of their subordinates.
Chen Xuan and Baron Bezos discussed for a few minutes and finalized the order of the contract.
Then the two stayed in the study, and the baron called the snakeman butler to invite Anqila Lord to meet in the study first.
The castle is covered by various magic arrays, which can block magic peeping everywhere and interfere with most short-distance spatial displacements, so Chen Xuan does not have to worry about being detected by Ahn'Qiraj.
After the snakeman butler left, Baron Bessos, who was sitting at the table, immediately broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
"Master, Ahn'Qiraj is not easy to deal with!"
"Are you... are you really sure?"
Even though he had seen Chen Xuan's magic, Bessos still felt nervous.
Time stop is just a non-existent time for him, and Chen Xuan did not explain it to him specifically.
And his cognition is not enough for him to see that Chen Xuan's method is time-related.
So he had such doubts.
But Chen Xuan nodded calmly. He was not nervous, but rather a little expectant.
It's exciting to think about subduing high-level spellcasters.
And this is the only way for him to completely control Magtan City.
In addition, as long as the head of the Bangcheng Magic Guild is controlled, a higher-level relationship network can be opened up, such as the giant city-level Mage Association or Mage Tower Organization.
Seeing his master so calm, Baron Bezos's nervousness immediately subsided a lot.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
About two or three minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
At the same time, there was the voice of the snakeman butler asking for instructions.
"Sir, Ms. Ahn'Qiraj has been brought here."
"Come in!"
Baron Bezos raised his eyebrows and responded loudly.
Chen Xuan stood behind him without any intention of hiding.
After getting his consent, the snakeman butler opened the door and led an old woman who was shrouded in a shadow hood and holding a long withered wood staff. She was only 1.6 meters tall.
Through the shadow under the hood, Chen Xuan could vaguely see an aging face, but he could not see her eyes.
After sending the person in, the snakeman butler bowed and left.
The old woman stood there motionless.
After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly spoke to Bezos.
"Baron..."
"You seem very nervous."
"And the Oriental man behind you."
"I sense a hint of hostility from him."
