Advent of the Archmage Chapter 254: Emerald Ring (1/4)
Spirit Peak Fortress.
Two days passed quickly, and time was short, but with the great help of Link, the magicians in the army achieved great achievements in fighting against ghosts.
The biggest achievement is a new style of crossbow.
On the school grounds in the fortress, Link, magician Mark, Annie, and several scouts are experimenting with this new weapon.
Several targets moving back and forth at high speed are set in front of the school yard. Each target is set with a special rune logo. The speed of back and forth movement is very fast, reaching 100 meters per second.
A scout is standing 50 meters away. He is holding a crossbow and doesn't aim at it. He just pulls the trigger in the direction that these moving targets are probably located.
'嗖 嗖 嗖 嗖' A sacred silver crossbow fired at high speed, with extremely high frequency, about 5 per second. After the crossbow fired, it was not completely straight in the air, some were arcs, some were s line.
The "Tuk Tuk Tuk" crossbow hit the moving target in succession, but none of them shot.
After 5 seconds, the crossbow shoots into the air. As soon as the scout throws the crossbow machine, a metal arrow box pops up on the crossbow machine. The crossbow is empty in the box. The arrow box was pressed on the crossbow, and it clicked, the arrow box was in place, and then the scout slammed hard to wind the crossbow again.
The whole process of loading arrows is only 2 seconds.
The scout pulls the trigger again.
‘嗖 嗖 嗖’ is another rain of arrows, but the arrows are still firing.
Soon, the second arrow box is also empty, and the scout is still non-stop. Continue to put the third, fourth, and fifth ... until the 20th arrow box is shot empty, When it was wound again, the crossbow made a sound of "collapse", and finally the bowstring could not withstand such high intensity use, and it broke.
The distant moving target also stopped, it has become a hedgehog.
A scout ran up to check, and after a while, he loudly reported: "489 arrows and 309 rune marks."
Mark exclaimed loudly: "20 arrow boxes, 500 magic tracking arrows, high-speed moving target with a hit rate of 97% or more, to hit more than 60%, it is perfect!"
Linke ’s transformation of the crossbow was basically done by himself. Now that he has seen such results, he is more and more admired by Link. The scouts around him are also full of excitement. These powerful weapons mean opportunities for life.
Ann also laughed: "As long as 5 people are equipped with this crossbow on a large scale, and 5 people act together, we don't need to be afraid of ghosts!"
Linke is still not very satisfied. This thing is a long way from perfection. If he is given some time, he can use fire elemental magic to reproduce the high-speed machine gun from a different world.
However, he knows that this is not realistic because it would be too expensive to do so in the military.
This burst of crossbows, although not perfect, strikes a balance between lethality and cost.
If it is mass-produced, a crossbow aircraft is about 10 gold coins, a Holy Silver tracking arrow costs 1.5 silver coins, and an arrow box costs about 4 gold coins. If three military information is listed, King Lane estimates It can be very painful, but still affordable.
He laughed: "It's almost time, and I'm ready to go back to the south."
Annie came over and said, "Let me see you."
Linke nodded, and both walked towards the fortress's corral.
Along the way, Annie was silent until she reached a secluded place near the animal pen. She stopped and asked softly, "Linke, the dark artifact can swallow countless souls in one fell swoop, can we resist it?" >
She looked up at Link, her eyes full of anxiety.
Linke's face is also a little dignified. The Dark Snake ’s devouring skill of up to 20 kilometers is a nuclear weapon. It can completely destroy a war fortress in one shot. It can be used at critical moments and can even forcibly reverse the trend of war. .
This way, you can't prevent it.
"This is indeed a very serious problem. When I return to the south this time, I will discuss with all the magic masters in the Kingdom of China how to solve this problem."
Ann's voice is very light, and she is very disturbed: "Mortal, can you really fight against God?"
Linke understands her mood, pats her shoulder gently, smiles and comforts: "We have beaten her once, haven't we? Rest assured, when I return to the south, I will try to make stronger Puppet. "
It seems that she has drawn strength from Link's smile. Annie looks a lot lighter. She asks with some expectation: "When will you come to the north next time?"
"I will come when I need me."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Annie smiled happily.
Linke turned and walked towards the animal pen. There was a griffin in the animal pen. This thing was full of endurance and not slow, allowing him to quickly return to the south.
Ann's heart reluctantly, waving goodbye: "Goodbye."
Linke also waved his hand, then walked into the corral.
"That chick likes you."
There was a voice in the animal pen. Lin Ke looked over, but it was Felena. She was wounded in the fortress for two days. The injury was so good that she was leaning against the door of the animal pen with her arms around her chest. He looked at Link with a smile.
Felena's body armor can be retracted. At this time, except that she is tall, she looks like an ordinary human race. The only difference is her eyes. The eyes are silver-white. Shimmering.
To be honest, Felena is very good. Her features are very three-dimensional. Although she is tall, she is well-proportioned, with perfect curves and a pair of amazing long legs. A wild breath.
Looking at her, Link avoided the topic about Annie. He knew that Annie liked him, but that didn't mean he had to respond. In his eyes, Annie was just a friend, and casual responses would only hurt her.
He smiled and asked, "Are you here waiting for me?"
Felena admits generously: "Of course, this fortress does not have a second human race worthy of my waiting."
"Is there something wrong?"
"I heard that you're going back to the south. I'll send you a ride and discuss things along the way." Felena said.
"Send me a ride?"
"Of course, follow me." Felena turned and walked to the landing pad on the top floor of the animal pen, and Link naturally followed.
On the stage, Felena's body showed a fiery red light. It was very light at first, but soon, the flame began to burn. In the flame, Felena's body quickly grew larger, swelled, and finally "Waila", a red dragon with a wingspan of more than 8 meters appeared on the platform, and the griffins on the side flew away in surprise. The griffin administrator sat on the ground with his butt, almost scaring his pants.
Shaking his head, Felena lowered slightly, and turned to Link: "Come up."
Fortunately, Link has experienced a similar scene in the game, so he is not so surprised.
In the game, those players who have the goodwill of the dragons can let these dragons take a ride when needed. Young dragons are usually agreed to carry people, because they are usually more open-minded and do not find this an insult.
Linke climbed up on the dragon's back and sat at Felena's neck, her legs just right around her neck, just to sit still.
After Link was seated, Felena flew up and flew up into the sky, then headed south.
Flying for a while, Felena laughed, "The magician is really boring. You seem to know everything. I can't scare you like this."
"For us, the Dragons are no stranger to you, and you can be found in many books." Lin Ke laughed, and then he asked, "But I have a question, how did you do in the Black Forest? Running away without changing the dragon shape is much faster than using your legs. "
Felena pinched her mouth: "The shadowy giant patrols the sky in the Black Forest before fools fly there. I don't want to die yet. Besides, there is a crazy woman chasing after me. It's not as fast as her. "
"Well, you're right, the Black Forest is really dangerous."
"I ask you, how are you going to fight that dark artifact?" Felena asked similar questions to Annie.
"I'm going back to my academy to find a solution with the magic masters."
"East Valley Magic Academy?"
"It also includes court wizards, if possible, the Southern Wizards Federation can also cooperate."
Unexpectedly, Felena laughed and laughed: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. As far as I know, the magical heritage of Terran magicians is very shallow. Your magical history is only 2000, and you still have some high elves, The Dragons and Jobs learned, and they all learned fur. I don't think you can find a solution from the same race. "
This is a fact. Link has read history and historical records. Today, their tribe is called the Heldus, and their rise time is only 3,000 years. The first 1,000 years were basically barbarians. It wasn't until 2000 that Ferroman had a huge catastrophe called 'Magic Energy Catastrophe', and all races were involved in the disaster. With this opportunity, magic began to flow from higher civilizations to human races.
To this day, although the human race has achieved many unique achievements in magic, the truth is still far behind the ancient races such as the high elves, dragons, and Jobs.
Strictly speaking, dark elves are also ancient races, but their races have undergone many changes and disasters, and many inheritances have disappeared, but in general, they are still stronger than human races.
Linke can only say, "I will try, if not, I will think of a way."
"Well, maybe you can find some inspiration in the old paper pile, maybe." Felena flew for a while, she said, "Do you know that there is a mage organization in the higher magic race, Called 'Emerald Ring', there are tens of thousands of members in the organization. The lowest level of magician is level 4, including more than 500 masters of magic. If you can't find an effective way in the Norton Kingdom, you can try to the Emerald Ring For help. "
Lin Ke was hesitant, a little hesitant. He didn't expect that he had even come into contact with a high-end mage organization such as the 'Emerald Ring'.
In the previous game, when the battle of light and darkness entered the stage of fiery fever, the Emerald Ring was the main force of magic against darkness. When Link achieved the pinnacle of legend and confronted Nosamas, one of his identities was the Emerald Councillor. At that time, his position in the Emerald Ring was second only to the then Emerald Ring leader Elite.
"Hello, are you listening?"
Lin Ke returned to God and nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, how can I find members of the Emerald Ring?"
"Go find the daughter of destiny. She is a member of the Emerald Ring. I think she will be happy to guide you. You know, she valued you like never before. I have never seen who she admires so much. I think she's crazy. "Felena pouted.
"I see."
The Red Dragon's flying speed is very fast. After more than an hour, Felena crossed more than 500 kilometers and took Link to the edge of the Gwente Forest: "I will send you here. Remember, a month later , I will pick you up from your territory to Longgu. The queen of my tribe has always been interested in you. "
"I see, you go."
Waving goodbye to Felena, Felena circled a few times in the sky, groaned a few times, and turned away, while Link turned and walked on King's Avenue, rushing all the way to the East Valley Magic Academy.
It may be shocking. Link did not summon the gale wolves. He encountered a carriage on the way. After paying a silver coin, Link took a place in the servant's position behind the carriage and walked all the way while listening The two businessmen were chatting in the carriage, which was quite pleasant.
In the beginning, the two businessmen talked about business matters, but a word suddenly emerged.
"Did you know? I heard that Southern Verville was crazy. He killed his mentor in the Academy of Magic, and killed a dozen magicians. He also openly used black magic in Baiyan City and killed Shang. Hundreds of people escaped in the end.
"Hiss ~ Where did you hear, don't you kid me?"
The other businessman was startled and asked what Lin was about to say. (To be continued.)
