Chapter 22 Fireball
Outside the castle, there was a cold wind and heavy snow. The snowflakes on the ground even condensed into thin ice. However, Meilin didn't feel any chill at all, but instead felt a sense of heat. He even took off his thick fluffy coat and wore only a thin shirt.
The spell model of Fireball Technique has finally been simulated in the sea of consciousness. What Merlin has to do next is to test the power of Fireball Technique.
Merlin looked around the room and found that the environment here was not suitable for the fireball test, so Merlin put on her coat, pushed open the door and walked out.
He remembered that in the Wilson Castle, there was a secret basement, which was very secretive and very spacious. Only Old Wilson, the housekeeper and Merlin knew about this basement.
Merlin wants to test the power of fireball, and the basement is the best place.
According to the memory in his mind, Merlin came directly to Old Wilson's room. He gently pressed a certain brick on the wall, which was the mechanism of the underground passage.
"Click."
With a crisp sound, a wall in Old Wilson's room began to gradually separate to both sides, and some dust shook off and spread all over the floor.
After a while, a dark hole appeared in front of Merlin. He reached out and picked up the candlestick on the old Wilson's table, lit several candles on the candlestick, and walked into the hole with the help of the faint fire of the candle.
The passage was very dark, and because no one had entered for a long time, there was a dull and very unpleasant smell inside, Merlin continued to walk forward carefully.
This passage is obliquely downward, with a long stone steps leading to about a hundred meters underground. There are also many candlesticks on both sides of the passage. Every time Meilin encounters a candlestick, he lit the candles, so after a while, the dark passage becomes bright and very bright.
After walking for a few minutes, the stone steps finally disappeared, and Merlin came to a very spacious basement.
This basement is just a hall. There are more than a dozen small rooms around the hall, which store some swords, guns, shields and armor.
Merlin still remembers that when he was ten years old, he was brought in several times by Old Wilson. When Old Wilson was building the castle, he referred to the structure of some military forts, so there was such a basement in the place where he built, which could only allow one person to enter. Once there was any danger, he could hide in the basement.
If you have prepared in advance, you will fill the basement with the reserves inside, and the amount of storage is enough for hundreds of people to live for a whole year.
However, after so many years, the Hei Shui City was calm and there was no war, so the basement gradually became abandoned.
Although the basement is abandoned, it just provides Merlin with a spacious enough venue to test the power of fireball.
So, Meilin stood in the middle of the underground hall and began to silently feel the magic model in the sea of consciousness.
At this time, the spell model in the sea of consciousness was still spinning slowly, and even a trace of fire element underground was gradually integrating into the spell model.
The fire element absorbed by the spell model is the mana of the caster! The longer the spell model exists, the deeper the mana it accumulates, so once a spell model is constructed in the sea of consciousness, you don’t have to worry about it, and the spell model will automatically accumulate mana.
Meilin carefully read the old man Aita's spell note and also knew the method of releasing spells. It was very simple. You only need to use your mental power to stimulate the spell model to instantly stimulate the spell.
"Fireball!"
Meilin shouted softly, his mental power directly stimulated the spell model of the fireball technique. Suddenly, a ball of fireballs emitting scorching air appeared out of thin air in the void, less than one meter away from Meilin.
Meilin was delighted, but he did not control his mental power well, and the fireball dissipated in the blink of an eye.
The fireball dispersed because Merlin did not master the mental power. After all, once the fireball is released, it also needs the mental power of the caster to control it.
Although he failed for the first time, Merlin was not discouraged. He summed up his experience and released another fireball.
This time, he steadily controlled the fireball with his mental power and began to guide the small fireball to fly around in the air tremblingly.
"Bang".
The fireball hit the hard wall hard. This small fireball as big as a fist seemed to contain great power, causing the hard wall to tremble slightly, and left a half-inch hole on the wall, which was a pit burned by the fireball.
This alone cannot truly reflect the power of fireball. Merlin took out a heavy armor from the inventory in the basement. This is the standard equipment for the heavy armor knight. Once worn, those sharp knight guns cannot pierce the heavy armor.
Merlin used this heavy armor to test the power of fireball technique, which is naturally the most appropriate thing.
He hung the heavy armor on the wall, but did not continue to use the fireball technique, but sat down and started to rest.
Meilin rubbed his head slightly with both hands. He had just cast the fireball technique twice, and he found that the mana accumulated on the spell model had been consumed. If he wanted to cast the fireball technique, he could only wait until it recovered his mana.
Looking at the spell model in the sea of consciousness, absorbing the fire elements from the outside world bit by bit, Merlin thought and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that because the spell model constructed is still short, he can only release the fireball technique twice."
Merlin had no choice but to have the scarcity of mana. The accumulation of mana can only rely on the long-term accumulation of magic models, and there is no shortcut to take.
After an hour, the spell model slowly recovered, and Merlin was finally able to release the fireball again.
"go!"
Merlin released the fireball technique again. This time he was already familiar with the fireball technique, so he quickly used the fireball technique. He controlled the small fireball in front of him and smashed the heavy armor on the wall.
"Shit".
Without the loud noises I imagined, the strongest defense front chest on the heavy armor, a thick chest protection film, was burned directly by a small fireball to create a big hole the size of a fist, and a trace of light smoke was still emitting in the opening.
"hiss".
Even Meilin couldn't help but take a breath. He was surprised. Although he expected that the power of the fireball technique must be extraordinary, he did not expect it to be so strong.
This is heavy armor made of fine iron. Its defense is considered top-notch among the armor, and it cannot even pierce the knight's spear.
But even the heavy armor with such powerful defense was easily penetrated by the fireball technique. The small fireball released by Merlin contained terrible temperature.
"Huh? What is this?"
Merlin came to his senses and when he was checking the spell model in the sea of consciousness, he suddenly made a new discovery. In his sea of consciousness, there was a gray horizontal frame next to the slowly rotating spell model.
This gray horizontal frame appears in the sea of consciousness, especially around the spell model, causing Merlin's concern.
“When did this appear?”
Merlin frowned tightly. He remembered it very clearly that when he was building the spell model, there was no such gray horizontal frame. This must have just appeared.
So he observed carefully and found that most of the gray horizontal frame had already lit up, and a small part of the area was still gray.
Meilin observed for a long time but still couldn't figure out what this horizontal frame was, nor did he know when it appeared in the sea of consciousness. However, he didn't plan to waste time studying this horizontal frame anymore. It would take him a long time to gradually become familiar with the process of performing fireball techniques.
So Merlin released a fireball again, and his mental power guided the fireball and directly hit the heavy armor.
"boom".
This time, the whole ball of fireball exploded and flew around, and even the heavy armor with amazing defense was blown into a pile of scrap iron sheets.
This is the effect of mental power. Mental power can not only guide the direction of the spell, but also make many changes, such as letting the fireball explode violently when it hits the enemy. If you want to deal with some hard objects, don't explode, but rely on the high temperature of the fireball to penetrate directly.
These are some techniques for casting spells. They require long-term practice or actual combat with others to gradually explore the various functions of spells.
After all, Merlin has a short time to build a magic model, so usually, if you use the fireball magic twice, your mana will be exhausted. At this time, you must rest and wait for your mana to gradually recover.
If you forcefully stimulate the spell model, it is likely to cause the spell model to collapse and cause serious damage to the caster.
These taboos in the casting process are written in detail in Old Man Aita's spell note, and Merlin keeps them all in mind.
During the rest, Meilin discovered the gray horizontal frame in the sea of consciousness again. However, strangely, the horizontal frame was no longer gray, but turned red.
Looking at the red horizontal frame, Meilin felt a strange feeling in his heart, so he tried to use his mental power to touch the red horizontal frame.
"Buzz".
Suddenly, when stimulated by Meilin's mental power, the red horizontal frame suddenly emitted a dazzling light. There was no movement at all, but the spell model that was quietly recovering actually rotated violently again.
At the same time, he had just recovered a little mana and was quickly extracted by the spell model. Before Merlin could figure out what was going on, a huge fireball suddenly appeared in front of Merlin and floated quietly in the air. Moreover, the inside of the fireball seemed to be very unstable, as if it would explode at any time.
Merlin looked at the huge fireball in amazement. If the fireball before was only the size of a fist, then the fireball now is almost as big as three or four fists.
"not good."
Without Merlin's mental power, and the inside of the fireball seemed extremely unstable, it was about to explode. Merlin noticed the danger and immediately used his mental power to guide the fireball to crash into the ground.
