Chapter 277 Worth studying
Carmier proposed a solution to a high-power long-range weapon. In Gao Wen's view, this solution may not completely solve the problem of "artillery", but at least to a certain extent, it can fill the biggest shortcomings of the current Cecil army.
The Cecil combat soldiers already have very strong personal armaments. In this era, the traditional battlefield of relying on soldiers to fight life and death, but for Gao Wen, who has earthly memory, if there are no heavy weapons that can completely override human power and can affect the balance of the battlefield as a whole, a modern army will be far from being formed.
Faced with the monsters in the demon tide, the power of the "sea of people" is unreliable after all. Only more powerful artillery fire can bring hope for human survival.
However, even if Kamier's plan was feasible, Gao Wen did not give up the idea of creating a live-fire weapon in his mind. There are too many strange magic materials of nature in this world, and there are too many unpredictable threats in the wasteland of Gondor. A single type of weapon is difficult to deal with the ever-changing battlefield. For Gao Wen, who is cautious by nature, kinetic weapons are more at ease.
After summarizing the various problems that arose in this defensive battle and finalizing the details of the troops' adjustment, training and publicity and guidance after the battle, Gao Wen exclaimed and turned to Hetty: "How is Rebecca's situation?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that excessive mental loss will cause you to sleep for a long time," Herty's expression was a little weird, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh. "She rarely had excessive mental loss since she was a child. The child's mental power and magic reserves were far beyond ordinary people. She threw hundreds of fireballs a day and didn't see her tired. This time she was so messy."
In this world, mental power and magic reserves are the second important indicators for measuring a person's magic talent, and their functions are also different. The simplest and straightforward explanation is the ability to control magic and sense magic, which determines a person's casting skills and continuous casting stability. The magic reserves are the power consumed when casting spells, which determines the total energy consumption of spells a person can release within a certain period of time. Generally speaking, these two indicators are synchronized and rarely appear that a person's mental power far exceeds the magic reserve, or the magic reserves far exceed the mental power.
Of course, there are exceptions, just like Santis, the second-level arcane who is a teacher in the territory, who is an example of his magic reserves far lower than mental power.
Although Rebecca is a strange girl, her "development" in these two indicators is normal, and she is even much stronger than ordinary mages. She is only born with fewer "spell positions" and leads to spell casting defects, which is equivalent to the lack of stubbornness in the mage world.
So when Rebecca rashly used the magic net as her magic reserve, she encountered a situation where her mental power was overwhelmed, and she was seriously overwhelmed, but she couldn't blame her. After all, the magic net is a brand new thing in itself. How can ordinary mages have such an opportunity to control huge energy? Ordinary mages can pinch a magic crystal and release a few times of over-limit spells, which is considered a local act of a rich man. The city-level magic net on the territory can burst out countless magic crystals...
Fortunately, the silly roe deer's head is really hard, and humans have a self-protection mechanism that "if you can't stand it, you'll be dizzy", otherwise something big will really happen...
"She was a little nonsense this time, but she didn't do anything," Gao Wen said with some helplessness, "and this time, thanks to her nonsense, which gave us an idea of making new weapons."
"When it comes to Miss Rebecca, there is one thing I've been curious about," Carmire said suddenly, "Does she only know one fireball?"
Hetty nodded: "Yes, she knows this one, and can't learn anything else."
"But her fireball skills have various forms and... levels," Carmier's tone was confused and thoughtful, "I have seen her create ordinary small fireballs, big fireballs, and fireballs like fireballs. This time, a fireball that is bigger than the city gate. I have also seen her create two fireballs that are the size of bird eggs and rub and play with them... Has anyone taught her these?"
"She has developed to treat fireballs as walnuts in cultural relics?" Gao Wen was shocked and then coughed twice. "Ahem, no one taught her the fireball rubbing skills, and there is no normal mage who will study it? She usually thinks about it."
After all, silly roe deer can do nothing but rub fireballs. If you don’t think about what you think about?
Carmire looked even more curious than before: "This is also the ability she has since childhood?"
After receiving the affirmation of Gao Wen and Hedy, the ancient magician finally expressed his doubts: "Do you think there may be so many variations of Fireball Technique?"
"... Actually, I was curious about this question a long time ago," Hetty was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I also took her to find a famous magician in the southern region for advice, but the master couldn't tell what was wrong with Rebecca's magical talent. She just knew how to rub fireballs, but she could also rub fireballs into all kinds of incredible skills..."
Gao Wen looked at Hetty silently, thinking that under his leadership, everyone in the territory began to assume that the fireball was "rubbed". It was obvious that not long ago that everyone had carefully described the fireball technique as "release"...
"I felt the primitive and pure magic fluctuations in Miss Rebecca's fireball technique. I doubt that the magic that looks like fireball technique is actually just a high-temperature effect she forced with her huge magic power. Only because the spherical shape is the easiest magic structure to stabilize itself, this high-temperature energy ball will appear as a fireball..."
Hetty's tone became slightly anxious: "Master Carmier, do you understand what's wrong with Rebecca's magical talent?"
Although she often knocks on Rebecca's head on weekdays, it is obvious that she is still very concerned about her niece who has been raised since childhood.
"No, I can't see the root cause of Rebecca's strange spell casting talent, but I doubt... she actually doesn't even know how to fireball," Kamier said slowly, "but I don't think this is a 'spoke casting defect'. If her fireball is a more essential magic release, then this means that she has broken through the traditional mage's restrictions on 'spell level' and 'skills'. For her, fireball is not a level one magic, nor is it a level two or three. If we can understand her spell principle, perhaps our study of the essence of magic can even go further."
Gao Wen finally knew the reason why Carmier was so obsessed with this issue because the series of "whys" he threw to the other party after the last time the Magic Obelisk was successfully developed, which inspired the ancient magician's enthusiasm for studying the essence of magic. Now he has developed to the point where he wants to study any abnormal magic phenomenon.
But then again... Rebecca's strange fireball talent...is indeed worth studying.
"Let's talk about it after Miss Rebecca recovers," Carmire quickly calmed down from the researcher's condition. "And there are too many unknown things, so I have to plan my work again."
After the meeting, Gao Wen and others left the Government Affairs Department one after another, and soon the conference room became deserted.
Carmire stayed at the end, floating from his seat, but before leaving, he heard a slight sound from under the table, and then a long tail first approached the table from the edge of the table. After sweeping back and forth, Tyre rubbed his eyes and climbed up.
"Ha..." Miss Siren seemed to have slept again in the second half of the meeting. At this time, she was still not sure about the situation. "Are you leaving?"
Then she stretched her upper body hard, her tail stretched straight and almost bounced to the wall. After she stretched, she shook her hair with satisfaction: "Go back to sleep, sleep..."
Kamier looked at the Siren and seemed to have not noticed himself at all, and couldn't help but break the silence: "Miss Tyre, please wait."
"Ah? There is another one that hasn't left?" Tyre was stunned for a moment, and slowly looked back, "Oh, you are asleep as you can glow?"
"I'll stay for the last," Carmier was not a good joker, and answered in a stern manner, "Miss Tyre, I want to talk to you."
"What are you talking about?" Tyr raised his eyelids lazily. "If you want to study our Siren's magic or technology, then forget it. Whether we are spells or technology, we are completely different from you non-elemental creatures, and the gap is even greater than the spell systems of humans and elves."
"No, it's about those...distortions."
Tyre was just trying to go back to sleep quickly: "Alien? Then you go to Gao Wen, he is professional, he died in this field in his previous life."
"It's about what you said on the city wall today," the arcane sparks flashed in Carmire's eyes. "You mentioned that the distortions are a kind of 'failed product' that has not been completely mutated in the demon tide. They were not born from the demon tide, but were transformed by the demon tide... Is that true?"
"I didn't say so sure, but the meaning was probably the same," Tyre stopped yawning. Under the snake's tail, her upper body raised slightly, almost looking down at Kamair in the floating state. "No wonder I felt that the energy reaction on you was very strong at that time... You said you were scared by a spell from Rebecca, but ancient magicians like you were not so easily scared by a spell."
Kamier did not speak, which was considered to be accustomed to Tyre's statement.
"I heard Gao Wen tell the story of disobeying the fortress, and your plans back then, and I was very touched... So I could probably guess what answer you want from me," Tyre slowly lowered his body, and then suddenly reached his hand to his abdomen Carmier looked at the scene in horror. He saw that the siren actually directly inserted his hand into his body. Her torso, arms and some clothes turned into watery texture in the process. Tyre touched his stomach for a moment, and then took out a piece of skeleton fragment with an unknown dark red skeleton from his body. She handed the thing to Carmier. "The answer is to go and find it yourself. This piece of skeleton fragment was found on the city wall. It comes from a distortion. Its chaotic magic energy has been purified by me. You can study it safely, but you should hurry up, it is disintegrating itself every moment."
