Chapter 814 Interrupted research
“The effect of the first-level magic shield technique is to erect an invisible barrier in front of you, while the wizard armor is a full-scale magic field with no dead ends. The former is a partial defense, and the latter is a three-dimensional protection. They can be regarded as the prototypes of almost all protection spells. Even the ninth-level magic is just to strengthen the strength of the force field…”
In the dim mage tower, Henry stood unkempt and muttered to himself, writing and drawing on the parchment nervously for a while, and trying to construct the magic structure for a while, the whole person looked crazy, and I didn’t know that he thought there was a problem with the brain. ¥f vertex novel,
I don’t know how long he has stayed here. He looks very sloppy at the moment, his silver head is beginning to curl up, his face is greasy, and the nails on his hands are also covered with gray dirt.
It has to be said that it is really not easy for a person to be so dirty without noticing it, especially the thick layer of black ash on the neck, but normal people will feel extremely uncomfortable.
In Faerun Continent, most people still attach great importance to their own hygiene, after all, this is related to their health. Except for those travellers and adventurers who stay in the wild all day and have no conditions to take a bath, most people insist on taking a bath every two to three days. In the hotter south, some nobles even take a bath twice a day.
Of course, desert areas with severe water shortages are not counted. In such a place, water resources are a very precious living material, and at the same time the source of disasters. If there is not enough power, the residents living near the water park will be swarmed by robbers in an instant.
Henry is unaware of his current state and is still working tirelessly on research. He did not eat, drink, or sleep, and devoted himself to it. Trying all kinds of protective magic over and over again. Try to find some inspiration from it.
As the largest organ in the human body. The role of the skin is actually very large. It is mainly responsible for protecting the body, wicking perspiration, feeling cold, heat, and pressure, while protecting various tissues and organs in the body from physical, mechanical, chemical, and pathogenic microbial attacks.
What he has to do now is to cover a layer of magic shield on the body surface through the pores without affecting these functions. Unlike the ordinary protection spells, this shield must be able to resist both physical and magic at the same time. effect.
Obviously, it is not easy to do this. The most difficult part is how to ensure the resistance of the shield.
Because attached to the skin means that energy must not be too much, otherwise it will definitely completely isolate the skin from the outside world. It will be very uncomfortable for a long time. The same can’t be too little. If there is too little, the defensive ability is not enough, so this is a contradiction that is difficult to balance.
“Damn! What should I do…” Henry stared at the snake skin in his hand, his eyebrows tucked together, it was as if he was about to tear the snake skin into pieces with his eyes.
Suddenly, with an idea, he quickly grabbed a small knife on the table, and without hesitation, he pried off a piece of snake scale, placed it under the bright light and observed it carefully, and soon he let out a wild laugh.
“Hahahahahaha! That’s it… That’s it… I should have thought of it! All the secrets are hidden in the structure of the scales! No wonder human skin can’t carry as much magic energy as snake skin, the reason is all on the scales. Lines. I may not be able to invent a shield attached to the skin. But it is possible to create a layer of magic scales on the skin, so that all the problems will be solved.”
Henry’s character has always been on the go. Now that he has a new idea, he immediately began to construct a new spell model. Based on the experience summed up after the failure a few days ago, he completed the first step in just ten minutes, and immediately began to taste the magic net. It extracts energy from it, slowly forming a scaly structure on its body surface.
Soon, scales glowing with black light appeared on the face first, followed by rapid growth along the neck, and covered the whole body in the blink of an eye. The whole person looked like a cold-blooded creature with scales.
There is no doubt that the new magic is finally completed at this moment. The next thing to do is to test its practicability, especially the resistance to various magic, in order to make a little adjustment at the end.
“First of all, it’s the physical hardness. Let’s try it with an axe made of stainless steel…” As he said, Henry picked up a one-handed axe directly from the weapon rack, then put an arm on the table, and bitterly chopped it down. , There was no hesitation in his eyes, as if it was not his own arm, it was extremely cruel.
"ударяться!"
When the axe blade collided with the scales, a lot of sparks were ignited, and the huge reaction force made the axe bounce high, almost hitting the face.
Fortunately, Henry’s reaction speed was quite fast. He tilted his head slightly to the left, letting the axe rub his cheeks and flew backwards, nailing it to the door with a bang.
He didn’t even have the interest to look back, and immediately raised his hand to carefully check the place where the axe had cut, only to find that except for a small scratch, the scales showed no signs of breaking at all.
“Interesting! It seems to be able to guard against enchanted weapons below level three, which is pretty good for a level six magic.” He said with joy.
You must know that this is a permanent magic, which means that once it is cast, it can last at least eight hours. Although it is not as effective as the sixth-level magic “protective magic weapon”, it is better to pray for protection all the time. Like the former, it disappeared in less than half a minute.
In the next few minutes, Henry conducted a magic test again, starting with the lowest level magic missile, and then upgrading it a little bit. When it reached the fourth level of magic, the color of the scales had become much lighter. It is estimated that it is no longer possible. Withstand damage at high levels.
Such a result is obviously not within his acceptance range, and he immediately frowned: “The physical protection ability seems to be too strong… The magic protection ability is weak… Without raising the spell level, I am afraid this is the limit. Damn it. , Isn’t this forcing me to develop another series of magic…”
Since the last time he developed the soul worm experience, he has completely lost interest in the series of spells.
Because most wizards developed a series of magic, not out of their original intentions. But it is incapable of completing it in one step. So first create a simple template. Then a little bit of improvement and upgrade, just like the Bigby series of magic.
If Bigby could directly create the nine-level magic “Smash Palm” back then, he would definitely not waste time developing low-level spells such as “Aid Palm” and “Trip Palm”.
But Henry is currently not familiar with this unnamed spell. If you don’t come from the lowest level, it may be difficult to optimize the structure of the spell to the best state.
As a perfectionist, he would never allow any flaws in his magic, so he had to sigh helplessly and muttered to himself: “Okay. It seems that I can only start from scratch, I don’t know if it counts. Forcing the good to be a prostitute…”
At the moment when he just lifted the scales on his body, the door outside the workshop was suddenly knocked.
"Хлопнуть! Хлопнуть! Хлопнуть!"
“Open it yourself! Open the door! You have locked yourself inside for more than nine days! Tonight is the day for the public auction of the Elf artwork. Should you come out and pack up to welcome the guests. In addition, Doris is almost at the due date , You should prepare to welcome the birth of a new member of the family.” Shikodi’s voice came in through the door.
Hearing his wife’s words, Henry’s face instantly changed. He immediately rushed to the table and grabbed the divinity in the bottle and stuffed it into the dimension bag, and then walked towards the door in three and two steps. He had no idea that he had stayed in the mage tower for so long, and he didn’t know how Borken had prepared.
After all, the decisive battle with Ghost City is imminent. It’s not good to miss something at this important time.
As soon as the magic lock on the door was lifted, Shikodi, who was already a little impatient, immediately opened the door. When she saw the appearance of her husband, she immediately pinched her nose and backed out, while whispering: “Oh…damn! What kind of smell is this, so sour and smelly. Honey, you didn’t take a shower today?”
“At least nine days, I bet he hasn’t cleaned up his personal hygiene since he entered this room.” The dragon girl Xina who followed closely also pinched her nose and joked with a smile on her face.
Hearing the words of the two beautiful ladies, Henry took a few steps back, and explained with a helpless smile: “Sorry, I was like this when I was doing magic research. Only by paying attention can I overcome the problems as quickly as possible. I haven’t taken a shower for a few days, how can I remember it so clearly. By the way, what’s the situation outside now?”
Shikoudi took out a piece of parchment from the pocket of her dress, “Here, you can see it. I really don’t understand why you must put Allen in such a dangerous place. You have to know that there is something going on right now. In the fierce war, I heard that the corpses are about to pile up into mountains.”
“The young eagle needs exercise to sharpen his claws. All this is for him to grow up healthily.” Henry ignored his wife’s complaints and opened the parchment, but he just glanced at it and his face showed Gave a surprised look. “Duel in front of the gods?! Vaughn actually got the attention of God of War Tempus!!”
Hina nodded very solemnly: “Yes, according to the news that came back, Vaughan had a battle with the legendary character of the High Wasteland, the orc warrior Cyclops near Wywood City, which shocked the world. Both sides exhausted. If it were not for the intervention of the gods, it might end up together in the end.”
“Now? How is the war in the north now?” Henry squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice He felt that the situation was beginning to be a little out of control, especially the addition of the Lord of War and the Lord God of the Orcs, let this Becomes even more weird.
“Stalemate, the tribal coalition forces attacked like a routine for six hours every day, and then they closed their troops back to the camp, and continued on the next day. I don’t know what they are doing.” Said Shikoudi’s eyes showed disgust.
Hearing this answer, Henry’s gloomy expression disappeared instantly, and replaced by a playful smile: “It really is the handwriting of Ghost City, it seems that I really guessed it. Revalan, I hope you won’t be after this match. I can cry.”
“Well, don’t think about it so much. Come back to the palace with me and take a shower, and then prepare to meet the guests. You know that many nobles from the entire Western Continent are coming to participate in this event. I don’t want to make any mistakes.”
After Shikody finished speaking, he ignored Henry’s protest and dragged him into the carriage, and then ordered the coachman to go straight to the palace…
