Chapter 139 136. Spell Array Rolling Charge (2 in 1)
“Magic power is not a disordered mystery, but a visual expression of rules. Mastering the resonance principle of magic power inside and outside the body is the key to opening the door to magic.”
——Grand Mage Althea Startrack
Tsk, it turns out that textbooks like to start with such a cool quote from a famous person.
Unfortunately, Lin Jun didn’t know any great magicians.
Mycelial tentacles cling to the pages of the book, turning it to the next page.
…
After finally learning how to speak, Lin Jun was ready to show off his skills. However, after looking around, he was shocked to find that there was no one he could communicate with!
Xiao Hei only knows dragon language, and he only knows a little bit at that. He can't understand human language at all, and relies entirely on the fungus network to communicate.
Norris's mushroom house is being renovated. The tree demon has no vocal structure at all and communicates through the fungus network.
The vampire is a magical material that is proficient in both human and demon languages, but he just got frightened and is now mining in the mine to calm down. It is not suitable for him to be bothered with in the short term.
Lin Jun was very disappointed about this. He was a vampire viscount, but he couldn't accept anything Puji said. It was really...
The yellow book... seems to work, but it's Lin Jun who is tired when communicating with it.
Even though Lin Jun seemed to be able to control him at will, he actually had to keep an eye on his panel at all times during the conversation to avoid being bewitched, and there was no sense of relaxation at all.
As for Dylan, who is surviving on a deserted island, the scout has no sound-producing structure on his body.
I can't let the Pujis say weird things to scare the adventurers...
The lack of someone to communicate with immediately dampened Lin Jun's enthusiasm for talking, so she decided to wait for Norris to wake up before chatting with him.
After thinking about it, Lin Jun decisively started a new project - learning magic!
There is no shortage of teaching materials. Adventurers occasionally leave behind some magic-related books, which Lin Jun has preserved well.
For example, this book "Basics of General Spell Construction" looks like a textbook for beginners.
Chapter 1. Model of the seven magic nodes of the human body?
Great, skip it.
As a low-level monster, even if Puji is equipped with [Magic Storage], there is only one magic node in the center, which is completely useless for reference.
Turning to the second chapter, it talks about endogenous magic and environmental magic.
Well... endogenous magic is probably one's own mana, and environmental magic is the active magic that can be mobilized around.
The process of casting a spell is to use endogenous magic power to construct an effective spell path in the body, and then induce the influx of environmental magic power to finally achieve the casting effect. Puji can only achieve this through magic crystals.
The book also mentions that spell power = endogenous path efficiency x environmental magic concentration.
This also explains why the gold-level wizard in the fog is so powerful. It is simply because the magic power in the environment is too rich. If it is mobilized casually, it will be several times the magic power of the outside world.
Similarly, the general function of magic crystals is to gather the free magic power around, making the magic power in the surrounding environment stronger when casting spells.
As for the efficiency of the endogenous path, it seems to be linked to the level of magic.
High-level magic has so-called minimum casting requirements. If the path efficiency does not meet the requirements, the spell model cannot be used even if you have learned it.
Continue turning to the back and you will see some basic structural models.
It’s true that the beginning of the book is quite easy to understand, but as you continue to read on, the situation takes a turn for the worse.
The initial single-ring structure and double-helix structure, although a bit complicated, are still within the scope of understanding.
Quickly flipping to the back, he found things like multiple superposition models and triangular linkage models. After a quick glance, Lin Jun immediately regained the feeling of studying advanced mathematics...
Let’s look back at the title of the book, “Fundamentals of Universal Spell Construction”.
Is this the basics?
Lin Jun didn't believe it. Could it be that all the magicians in this world were top students?
He closed the book and opened another one called "Commonly Used Fire Magic Models (Levels 1-3)".
As expected, if the content is limited to level 3, it seems that there is no knowledge beyond the scope of the syllabus.
Lin Jun chose a second-level magic fireball and started studying it.
Although Lin Jun has not used any spells so far, his [Magic Control] has actually reached level 5.
This is of course all thanks to the credit of [Greed] and the selfless dedication of the adventurers.
For the purpose of casting spells, a special magic Pooji was created.
[Magic Storage LV7] + [Magic Control LV5] + [Fire Magic LV5]
The three basic skills required to cast magic are complete, and Puji is equipped with a D-level magic crystal to be used as an external casting device.
You can't count on Puji to cast magic automatically. Even though he has these skills, Puji has no knowledge of spell models. Everything is done manually by Lin Jun.
Controlling Magic Puji No. 1 and using [Magic Control LV5] to outline the model of the second-level magic is quite easy.
But since it was his first time casting a spell, Lin Jun still took 10 minutes to connect the spell path of the fireball in the magic crystal.
The last path completed the loop, and under Lin Jun's guidance, magic power indeed gathered towards the magic crystal in large quantities!
The temperature of the magic crystal rises rapidly!
Um?
Isn't this a fireball spell? Why did the temperature of the magic crystal rise?
Before Lin Jun could figure it out, the magic crystal turned into a fireball, burned the mycelium tentacles and fell to the ground, and the temperature continued to rise!
The sudden explosion sounded in the mushroom forest, and so did the magic Puff and the 10 square meters of fungal carpet...
Damn, it’s okay if the magic crystal is roasted.
What went wrong? Lin Jun saw that other people's spells were all formed outside the magic crystal?
Fortunately, the two books were placed far away and were not damaged.
Another Puji ran out from the forest and helped Lin Jun to look through the textbook again.
Half an hour later, Lin Jun finally figured it out.
I was so busy constructing the magic path that I forgot to connect an exit to it. The magic power just circulated repeatedly in the path and eventually exceeded the limit and exploded.
Having learned from his lesson, Magic Puji No. 2 finally succeeded in making the first fireball in Lin Jun’s mushroom life.
emission!
The fireball hit the mushroom tree, creating a hole about two meters in diameter.
!
Lin Jun couldn't hide his excitement after successfully casting the spell for the first time. He controlled the magic Puji No. 2 and used the fireball spell many times in succession.
It is becoming more and more convenient to use. It took 10 minutes to create a fireball at the beginning, but now it can be done in tens of seconds.
And Lin Jun is very sure that this time can be further shortened with practice!
The mushroom tree in front of him that served as a target was already riddled with holes. Fortunately, there was a fat guy named Puji with a bottle of water next to him to put out the fire at any time, otherwise it would have been burned to ashes.
After using the fireball technique again, Magic Puji No. 2 suddenly died.
Um?
I checked... I ran out of mana, starving...
Unlike humans, when their magic power is exhausted, they will at most feel dizzy and faint. But for a monster like Puji who relies on magic power to move, they will die instantly if their magic power is consumed excessively.
Even with [Mycelium Recombination], it cannot be resurrected. Although the corpse looks intact, most of the mycelium inside has starved to death. The damage is too severe to be repaired, so it can only be thrown into the swamp for recycling.
Lin Jun thought about it and felt that this problem could be solved by letting Puji use its tentacles to connect to the fungal carpet, replenishing his magic while casting spells, so there would be no need to worry about it suddenly running out.
This little episode did not affect Lin Jun's enthusiasm for casting spells, and soon Magic Puji No. 3 took over from his predecessor.
…
One day later.
The magic puffed and rolled up the magic crystal. The surrounding magic power surged in, and after 10 seconds, a fireball was blasted out.
This time the power was even greater than the first time, and the diameter of the explosion reached 3 meters.
But Lin Jun was not very satisfied.
10 seconds, this time is still too long for a battle.
You should know that it only takes less than two seconds from aiming to firing the mushroom cannon.
Other human adventurers can usually cast spells in battle within two or three seconds.
After all, when constructing a spell, the mage cannot move around in order to stabilize it. If the casting time is too long, he will be a sitting duck in battle and simply seek death.
But the problem is, being able to cast a fireball in two or three seconds is the result of years of practice for others, while Lin Jun has only been playing with magic for a day, and 10 seconds is the current limit.
After that, I can only rely on constant practice to improve my skill and shorten the casting time...
No, I have already used [Greed] to cheat, so why do I still need to practice questions to improve?
Isn't there some skill like quick casting?
After thinking about it, it seems that I have never seen it before.
Is there any way to quickly sketch out a spell model?
By the way, is it possible to draw the spell model directly inside Puji's body and cast the spell directly?
…
…
…
Bang--
Magic Puji... I don't know what number it is, but the daily loss is +1.
The cows, horses and puffies came out from behind the mushroom tree to wash the floor and cleared away all the puffy debris.
Sure enough, magic is not that simple.
The method of roughly pinching the spell model directly into Puji's body doesn't work. Either it can't be released or it explodes after the magic power is overloaded.
I don’t know what the problem is.
Although he had expected it, Lin Jun still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
After all, if Lin Jun had to spend a lot of time practicing each spell, the practical value of the spell would be greatly reduced for him.
It is far less practical than training your skills to a high level.
Looking at the dozen or so magic-related books on the ground.
Can I just treat it as a hobby and play with it occasionally?
When she was feeling helpless, the name of one of the books attracted Lin Jun's attention again.
Magic circle...? —
In the employee mushroom house, Norris woke up slowly.
"What am I doing?"
My memory still lingers on the hot soup given by the boss...
"You're awake!"
The blinding light forced Norris to cover his eyes.
What?
Squinting a little, Norris saw that it was a Puji standing in the light.
No, that puff itself is light!
"The God of Puji..."
Norris didn't know that the Puji in front of him was the crystallization of Lin Jun's lifelong learning - the lighting technique Puji!
Sitting up in a panic, Norris suddenly felt something stuck in his throat.
“Ahem!”
【Salivary Arrow LV5】
【Neurotoxin LV4】
The red poison turned into a water arrow, which shot through Puji in front of it and opened a hole in the mushroom house...
The light flickered twice, then went out and fell into the mushroom house.
Although Puji was not afraid of neurotoxins, he could not withstand the [Saliva Arrow] which shot through his body.
How can spitting be so powerful?
Looking at the dead Puji, Norris realized that this was probably a new species created by the boss, and he seemed to be in trouble again.
"Boss...I'm sorry..."
Norris had a sad face, praying that this Puji was not too important. Would he be locked up in the Slime Room again?
"It's alright... Norris..."
The horrifying sound coming from behind almost made Norris roll out.
After crawling to the opposite corner of the mushroom house with his hands and feet, Norris looked back and saw what made the sound - a long, strip-shaped puff...
"Boss...what is this?"
The long puff twisted and said: "The sounder..., put it on."
"Take it? How?"
Then Norris looked at Puji with a bitter face, wrapped around his neck...
After finally accepting the big mouth on his neck, Norris also asked about his own changes.
"Boss, what happened? Why is my... saliva so powerful?"
Not only did it pierce through Puji, it even shot a hole in the mushroom house, with power almost as great as that of a bow and arrow.
Lin Jun explained to him that she had processed his body again and now he had more powerful skills!
Powerful skills?
[Saliva Arrow] and [Rolling Charge]?
Putting aside these two questionable skills, the other ones are indeed very useful.
[Speed up] and [Dodge] made Norris feel as light as a swallow. If he met those three adventurers now, although he couldn't be said to be unscathed, Norris should be able to defeat them by himself.
[Sonic Detection] is a bit difficult to evaluate. The skill can indeed detect a large area, but at the same time, because the detection range is too large and there is too much information, Norris will have a headache every time he uses it...
After getting to know his new body, Norris was happy that he had become stronger, but at the same time he felt that he was further away from others.
Looking at my nails that have grown longer, it’s time to trim them…
But Lin Jun felt that he had not yet fully experienced the new skills.
"Norris, try your remaining skill!"
"No need for that now, Boss..."
Norris's evasiveness made Lin Jun heartbroken.
"What are you talking about? How can we guarantee the practicality of skills without testing them?
Norris, you have to know that this is all for your own good!
Try it for a while, if you find any inconvenience I can help you improve it next time!
What's there to be embarrassed about? In a battle, between life and death, should I die just because I feel embarrassed?"
Norris felt ashamed after hearing this and felt that his awareness was still too low.
Grit your teeth!
【Rolling Charge LV7】
…
“Hahahahahaha!”
Amid the boss's inexplicable laughter, Xiao Hei, who was sitting in his shiny little nest, saw a big silver ball rolling quickly past his mushroom house.
With a "bang".
Xiao Hei, who was attracted by the large glittering thing, saw Norris, who was curled up in a ball and embedded in the rock wall and unconscious after the car accident.
After thinking about it, Xiao Hei pulled Norris out of the rock wall.
He sent him back to his mushroom house, and then happily returned to his nest with more than ten beautiful silver scales.
Xiao Hei discovered that sticking these silver scales on the walls of the mushroom house could make the nest much brighter. She hopes that one day she can stick them all over the nest!
Lin Jun was also very happy.
The skill is truly amazing, humans can actually curl up like that!
[Rolling Charge] must have changed some of Norris's joint structures or muscle toughness, otherwise it would not have been possible to achieve this effect.
However, with so many added skills, Norris's blank slate is almost over.
The next reinforcement will probably be the last round.
By the way, what would happen if humans added [wake jet]?
Forget about Norris, I can try it next time when I have prisoners.
