Chapter 146 The First Encounter of Two Future Stars (Part 2)
The Hearthstone Inn on Kozan Island is no different from other places except that it is wider. After getting the teleportation coordinates, Jaina used the teleportation spell to teleport directly to the Hearthstone Headquarters on Kozan Island. However, she was disappointed that the Hearthstone Headquarters did not have any eye-opening places.
"Master Jaina, welcome to your visit."
Primadis brought several Lilbana mages to greet Jaina at the headquarter. Jaina smiled and walked out of the Hearthstone Inn with them.
On the way, Jaina and Primadis chatted idly, constantly trying to find out information about Richard. Primadis smiled and answered her. He made a gesture behind his back, and a mage quietly left the team.
Jaina was taken to a place called the Mage's House, which was more magical than Dalaran. Everything here was magical, just like the disc that Primadis and Jaina were riding on, which was a means of transportation that was powered by magic.
Jaina looked at the disc. If it was in Dalaran, a teleportation array would be enough to get from the first floor to the second floor. However, that kind of teleportation often makes people dizzy. Compared with this slow method, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
"This is so interesting!"
What interested Jaina was a spherical chair in the room. The round shape made you sink into it directly when you sat on it. The soft touch made you feel very comfortable. What was even more incredible was that the sphere was adjustable. There was a protruding small round button on the side of the spherical chair. Pressing the spherical chair would make it elastic. Jaina bounced on it, and her silver bell-like laughter echoed in the small room. Her long golden hair fluttered in the air, which was very beautiful.
When she was tired of playing, Jaina lay on the sphere in a very unpresentable manner and chatted with Primathis. As they chatted, they talked about Primathis's magic gun.
"This pair of guns is older than me. Its creator is a genius." Primadis took out a clip, picked out a bullet and handed it to Jaina, and continued, "The bullet is just an ordinary alloy bullet, but the gun is not an ordinary gun. This gun has multiple properties. Through the simplest infusion of magic power, it can use magic bullets of various properties. Like this."
Primadis loaded the clip and stood by the window and shot a wind-attribute bullet out of the window, accurately smashing a stone in the trial field outside. Jaina's eyes clearly saw the wind attribute entangled around the bullet. Elves use more wind magic, but humans use less. Jaina had seen Kaelsas release wind blades. The speed of wind is the fastest in magic, and it becomes even faster under the influence of bullets. Moreover, the shape of wind attribute on bullets is not cone-shaped! Some dogma in Jaina's mind was broken.
Jaina asked with bright eyes: "Can you take me to the place where magic is practiced?"
Primadis tilted his head and said: "Follow me!"
In the trial field where the hard stone was shattered, Jaina checked the stone. The whole stone was shattered, and there were obvious scratches on the shattered place, which were all traces of wind. Among the traditional three-system spells commonly used by humans, in order to shatter such a large stone of nearly one meter, the spell energy must be made into a cone, and the use of cone-shaped spells takes a long time and consumes more energy.
Jaina picked up a stone, thinking about how to recreate the scene just now. She was best at ice magic, but ice magic itself was solid and had no oath meaning. The fire magic master only taught her fireball, but simple fire should be enough.
Jaina controlled the stone to float in front of her, and the power of fire floated out from her fingertips, entwined around the stone, aimed at the distant tree, and controlled the magic to bounce the stone out.
"Tsk, no, too slow!" Jaina knew she had failed as soon as she made a move. The speed was too slow, and the stone only left a scorch mark on the bark.
Jaina picked up another stone and repeated the same steps. After failing more than ten times, she finally succeeded. A small stone successfully shot into the tree trunk. The power of the flames exploded and burned the tree trunk.
"Alas." Jaina sighed. Is human power ultimately inferior to that of a machine? It is difficult to use magic to drive stones to the speed of a gun. If a large amount of magic is used to force the stone to hit at that speed, the meaning of innovating this magic is lost. The magic that can speed up can release the Ice Cone spell twice. Jaina was not very satisfied with the power of the new magic. She succeeded in making the tree explode because she shortened the distance between herself and the tree. If she was too far away, the magic damage alone would not be able to penetrate it. If she was too close, she would be vulnerable to attack in actual combat. If a mage was attacked at close range, he would almost be declared dead. Spells released at close range, except for control, were almost meaningless in actual combat. Perhaps it was because of her own lack of ability. Jaina felt that if she worked hard to study this technology, she would be able to achieve the same physical and magical dual attack as firearms one day.
"Pa pa pa" Richard clapped his hands and walked out from the corner. He had been hiding in the corner watching since the moment they entered the trial field. In the process of experimenting with magic, Richard saw Jaina's unprecedented concentration. With such concentration and talent, it is no wonder that she has become the most outstanding backup force in Dalaran. Some people say that men are most attractive when they are doing things seriously. In Richard's opinion, women are even more so.
"As expected, it is Jaina. No one can match your understanding of magic."
"Who are you?" Jaina looked at the young man who walked over. Primadis's respectful expression had already made him guess,
"I am Richard. This is the second time we meet. Jaina, you are more beautiful than the last time."
"The second time?" Jaina glanced upwards, trying to recall when she had met Richard, but she really couldn't remember.
Richard smiled and said, "The last time we met was at the Golden Rose in Dalaran. You were with Kaelsas and Alsas at that time."
"Really?" Jaina still couldn't remember, but she saluted politely. "Uncle Richard, nice to meet you. Thank you for my birthday present."
"I'm glad you like it. I heard that you like this kind of thing, but I don't know if it's true or not. I was worried that you wouldn't like it."
Jaina smiled happily, "I like it very much, and this is also the most precious gift I have ever received. My father was also surprised when he saw it."
Jaina stared into Richard's eyes after she finished speaking. Richard smiled, "Did your father say anything?"
Jaina smiled, "My father told me not to get too close to you."
