"About the mage?"

The priestess girl blinked curiously and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, do you want to know about the caster?"

"Yes, in the previous battle, I found that I didn't know much about spellcasters, so I wanted to ask Miss Fina about the fighting methods of those mages."

Fang Zheng was not making excuses. On the contrary, if Fang Zheng had thought that he did not need to know too much about the profession of a mage, he would have to change his mind now. A bald Charles had made himself so embarrassed. If it were not for Nymph's help, he would have to run away. Considering that there might be a destruction mage among the enemies they would face next, Fang Zheng naturally planned to get some information about the caster first.

"Of course there is no problem. May I ask what you would like to know, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

"What on earth is that lightning shield? Why did it suddenly appear when I attacked him?"

This was the problem that Fang Zheng couldn't understand the most. At that time, he was sure that the bald wizard had been stopped in time by him. Logically, he should have let him kill him. However, just when his sword was about to move forward, the lightning suddenly appeared and knocked him back. At the same time, Fang Zheng's control over time was also interrupted. This was what Fang Zheng couldn't understand the most.

But Fina quickly gave the answer.

"According to what Mr. Fang Zheng said, I think that should be the magician's specialty, spell triggering... This is a spell skill that stores spells in advance and then automatically triggers them under certain circumstances. Most intermediate magicians have this skill. And I think that magician Charles has already set up the spell triggering skill of releasing the lightning shield when attacked, so Mr. Fang Zheng, your attack was blocked."

Oh my god, isn’t this an automatic cheat?

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. This reminded him of the many plug-in programs in the online games back then, such as automatically drinking blood bottles when HP dropped to XX, and automatically restoring mana when MP was consumed to XX... Damn, the wizards in this world are really wizards!

"So Miss Fina, do you also have this skill?"

"this……"

Faced with Fang Zheng's curious question, Fina showed an embarrassed expression.

"Triggering spells is a skill that only intermediate and higher level spellcasters can master. However, there are also divine spells that can achieve similar effects, but they need to be released in advance..."

"So, how do you usually deal with this situation?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown. According to Fina, this wizard is truly invincible. He is not afraid of sneak attacks or hard fights, and can run away if he can't win. Fortunately, he has Nymph, a little angel who can invade and seize control of the opponent's spells. Otherwise, when facing the wizard, would he not have to fight and just wait to go home and sleep?

"When spellcasters fight each other, they will prepare spells specifically for removing the opponent's defense. There are also some weapons that can break magic that can also do this... In addition, using powerful force to directly break it is also a way..."

"Um……"

Hearing Fina's answer, Fang Zheng frowned. He didn't have a weapon that could break the magic, but using powerful force to break it was one way. In fact, the bald man's lightning shield was still unable to block Fang Zheng's sacred storm. But that was because Nymph canceled the other party's protective spell in advance. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles... It seems...

"Ms. Fina."

"Ah, yes, what's up?"

"If I want to learn magic, are there any restrictions?"

"limit?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fina was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"Well... the temple doesn't have any restrictions, but Mr. Fang Zheng, magic is a very complex and difficult spellcasting technique that requires a lot of effort and is not easy to master. Therefore, few people would choose to take magic courses while specializing in swordsmanship..."

"That's true. I was a little anxious. Thank you."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's originally anxious mood finally calmed down. Just as Fina said, he hadn't even mastered swordsmanship yet, so it was too early to consider magic. However, Fang Zheng would not give up learning magic because of this. Just from the bald wizard, he saw many useful aspects of magic, which were far more useful than simple swordsmanship.

And... I am a dimensional wizard. What kind of wizard is I if I can't cast spells? If I choose holy light and weapon specialization, I will be like Gandalf.

Then there is only one question left.

"Ms. Fina, you just said that divine magic also has a similar effect... Can you perform it? I want to do a little experiment."

"Oh, of course no problem."

Fina readily nodded in agreement to Fang Zheng's request. Although she had not been with Fang Zheng for a long time, the intelligence shown by this young man had already made Fina trust him. Not only could he easily get Charles to tell him about their conspiracy, he could even use these vague evidence to infer the other party's actions. This ability alone made Fina feel inferior, so even though she didn't know why Fang Zheng wanted to do this, she quickly nodded in agreement and raised the scepter. Then Fang Zheng saw a beam of light appear out of thin air, covering Fina's body, and then turned into dots of light and disappeared.

"This is holy armor. It will automatically appear to resist attacks when attacked. The effect should be similar to the spells cast by the mage... except that it needs to be cast actively..."

"Yes, I understand."

Staring at the glow on the girl, Fang Zheng nodded.

The next moment, time stopped.

In Fang Zheng's eyes, the girl in front of him stopped moving instantly. She stood there motionless like a sculpture, her eyes looking forward, looking like a wax figure.

Fang Zheng reached out and gently patted the other person's shoulder. The touch was warm and soft, but the girl did not react at all.

Well... in this situation, I suddenly had a bold idea.

Looking at the priestess girl in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva. For some reason, he suddenly remembered some plots from a short movie he had watched before... Then again, it seems that time stopping can really be used in this way!

Ahem… I’ve been thinking too much. Stop, stop.

Patting his head and throwing aside the plot of the little movie in his mind, Fang Zheng began to carefully observe the girl in front of him. Then he raised his sword and stabbed the girl's shoulder.

"bite!"

Fang Zheng's sword was not fast, but just before he was about to stab the girl, a golden barrier suddenly appeared, blocking Fang Zheng's attack. With the appearance of the barrier, Fang Zheng quickly felt that his control over time began to weaken, and the time he could maintain was almost rapidly decreasing. However, perhaps because Fina was not as strong as the bald mage, Fang Zheng still had time to control and feel.

As expected, if I were to face a skill released by the enemy while in time manipulation, would the time I could maintain it be reduced?

Fang Zheng had already considered this when performing the output combo before. After the battle with the bald wizard and the practice with Fina, Fang Zheng was more and more certain that his guess was correct. The time manipulation he mastered was not invincible. On the contrary, this ability had many limitations and was also at risk of being resisted or immune.

Even when facing an apprentice priest like Fina, his time manipulation would be in danger of being weakened. So it was not surprising that he was directly cracked when facing the bald mage. He said he was a three-star mage... This is also a guarantee in Africa, at least better than one-star and two-star?

I wonder what a five-star wizard is like?

While thinking about something irrelevant, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and soon, time began to flow again. And Fina in front of him also returned to her original state.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Fina."

"You're welcome, Mr. Fang Zheng."

Although she didn't know what Fang Zheng had done, Fina still quickly lowered her head and responded. And then...

"Let's go."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng glanced at the campsite filled with corpses. This place was not suitable for camping.

"Let's find a safe place to rest first, and then head to the Dark Swamp... I'm also very curious about what those cultists want to do."
