Chapter 82 The Hand of the Mage
At Benson Manor, Samantha sat on the spacious balcony, staring at the vegetation in the garden in a daze.
Helen brought a cup of fragrant black tea and stood quietly behind Samantha.
Her slender fingers stroked the tea set. Time did not leave too many traces on Samantha.
But the tea sets, drinks, flowers and clothes she once liked seemed to have changed.
Everything faded, and it seemed that only the persistence of the vows made in youth remained.
"Helen, Mu Hua has a strong sense of defense against me." Samantha sighed.
"It should not be just for you." Helen shook her head.
"Yes, he should have suffered a lot over the years. I should have brought him here earlier. He has a high talent and is diligent enough." Samantha was silent for a short time and sighed.
"Diligent? Samantha, he seems to have gotten together with Kunna." Helen looked strange.
"Get?" Samantha was stunned.
"Well, it's what you think." Helen nodded.
"But... Kunna is not... Oh, this age is not suitable, right?" Samantha turned from surprise to displeasure, and her tone was resistant.
"They have not confirmed their relationship, they are probably just bedmates."
"But even if they are bedmates..." Samantha frowned, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Maybe he prefers mature women." Helen spread her hands and analyzed.
Samantha was silent. This seemed to make some sense, but... Oh, forget it, young people, they will probably settle down after playing for two years. Kunna is one of us after all, and there will be no trouble.
"Haven't those little beasts gone to Bear Pig Town yet?" Compared with the leniency when she mentioned Mu Hua, Samantha changed her tone and her tone became obviously bad.
"Not yet, they got rid of the contact person and they are very busy recently." Helen replied.
"Hmm?"
"Ivy wants the young master of the Caesar family to introduce Webster to her. She probably wants to form a strategy team."
"Mu Siyun is very close to the Naiden Group and has recently attended several dances at the Bridges noble family."
"Vick applied for a job as a logistics staff member of a new brigade through an agent. He should be applying for resignation these days."
"A few days ago, they were notified of the start of the trial and have been urged to go to Bear Pig Town as soon as possible to participate in the trial." Helen said carefully.
"Hehe, they are all very attentive. The Strategy Committee, the Arms Group, and the New Brigade, maybe it would be a good idea to let them sell the Benson family." Samantha sneered.
"I'm afraid they will sell it too quickly and implicate the eldest lady. Mu Hua needs to adapt to Loren, and the eldest lady also needs more time to learn to be independent." Helen frowned.
"Hmm... Doesn't Kunna want to be a black glove? If she can occupy Bear Pig Town with her own ability, let her do it." Samantha thought for a moment and said to Helen.
Bright sunshine, insects, birdsong, the manor is full of tranquility. Samantha invites Helen to sit with her. The two chat from time to time and quietly enjoy the afternoon time.
At the same time, Taibesha and Mu Hua in the courtyard of 375 are facing another scene.
"Cousin~, I find that you are really versatile. With you, I don't even need to find a dismantler." On the gravel hillside, Taibesha watched Mu Hua smelting the bodies of the little demons one by one, and said to Mu Hua in a flattering tone.
Almost all of the seven or eight hundred little demons were killed, leaving more than a hundred bodies in total. The magic stones dropped were picked up by the skeleton guards and ravens, and Mu Hua put the bodies of these little demons into the furnace.
"You'd better find a dismantler. Let me make it clear first. My alchemy is a little weak. After decomposition, only some pieces of meat will be left. Fur, bones, and even magic cores are hard to leave. I can only deal with some garbage at most."
Mu Hua doesn't mind doing hard labor in collecting corpses.
However, after he cleaned up, what was left were all things that were not allowed to see the light.
It would be fine if it was a worthless low-level monster. What if a valuable monster was turned into a pile of meat by him in one furnace? He couldn't take out other things. If anyone didn't jump up and down with him, it would be strange.
In order to avoid disputes in the future, the pit should be dug in advance. . .
If Taibesha wanted to form a team, Mu Hua would not covet the corpses of those monsters. After all, he could fly alone, and he still had the Abyss Island, right?
"Oh? So, is your soul fire also due to a talent mutation? That's no wonder..." Taibesha thought thoughtfully.
In his twenties, he has high attributes and strong magic. If he can reach the level of a genuine alchemist, he is indeed a bit of a monster. According to Mu Hua, Taibesha is more likely to accept it.
The corpses of the little demons are basically worthless. Their skins cannot even be used to make the lowest-level magic scrolls, and their magic cores are not up to standard. Mu Hua said to collect garbage, and Taibesha just regarded it as environmental protection.
I don’t know if it’s because the little demons have no magic, skills, or talents. More than a hundred corpses, not a single Hundred Refinement Secret Stone was melted.
Physical crystals*3, intelligence crystals*7, and other bits and pieces are not mentioned. Mu Hua did get a skill stone that surprised him.
Mage's Hand LV1: Use magic to hold objects in the air within the sight range, 2% of intelligence attribute is converted into power, and each point of intelligence increases the reach distance by one meter.
This is the magic that truly accompanies the mage for life. With it, the mage has the ability to fight continuously, and it also makes up for most of the mage's power defects to a large extent.
Most of the seemingly floating staffs around some mages are caused by this magic.
Magic is mysterious, and the lethality of strong attack magic is indeed very high.
But if you rely solely on those strong attack magic, the mage's magic power can't withstand the consumption of high-intensity combat, and it is difficult to cope with protracted wars.
With Mu Hua's current magic power, each time he casts a fireball spell, he consumes about 5% of his magic power, and the interval between continuous casting of fireball spells is about 5 seconds.
In other words, Mu Hua can cast 20 fireball spells in two minutes with burst casting. Even if it is just an ordinary fireball spell, the mage has a very terrifying output among the same level combat professionals.
Then, there is no magic power...
Although Mu Hua's current magic power is not high, Fireball is only a primary magic, and this does not include the magic shield, which consumes a lot of magic.
The direct result of the super high burst ability is the lack of follow-up.
In addition to rationally planning their own magic power consumption, a magic that consumes less magic and can organize effective attacks for a long time has become a necessary means for mages.
This is the importance of the seemingly insignificant magic of the Mage's Hand.
An ordinary scum can probably lift a weight of 100 kilograms, which means that under normal circumstances, a physical attribute of 5 has a strength of 100 kilograms.
But the physical attribute includes various elements of the body. If five points of physical fitness are converted into 5 points of pure strength, 5 points of strength is equivalent to about 200 kilograms.
After absorbing the 7 intelligence crystals just obtained, Mu Hua's intelligence rose to 73 points.
The Mage's Hand converts 2% of intelligence, which means that the Mage's Hand has a strength of about 1.4 and can lift a weight of about 56 kilograms.
This weight seems inconspicuous, not to mention in front of adventurers with high physique, even in front of ordinary people, it is a bit ridiculous.
But let’s not talk about Mu Hua’s low intelligence, the 2% intelligence conversion rate is only the initial standard of the Mage’s Hand.
If nothing unexpected happens, with the improvement of training, the Mage’s Hand should be able to increase the intelligence conversion rate by 2% at each level.
In addition to its extension distance, as long as the distance is pulled and a good sword is picked up, a high-intelligence mage can chop the knight to tears.
The power of this magic depends entirely on the intelligence attribute and the level of spell training. With high intelligence and high training, it can allow the mage to compete with the barbarian.
The only flaw is that the Mage’s Hand itself is easier to be broken up and needs to be attacked with the help of weapons.
But the key is that it consumes low mana, low mana, and very low mana.
It is the fundamental guarantee for the mage to continue fighting on the battlefield, and it is also the only choice for mages to pretend to be cool on weekdays. . .
He happily absorbed the magician's hand. Although his intelligence was not up to par, Mu Hua's path as a magician was becoming more and more perfect.
