Celestial Mage

Chapter 152 To maintain a good relationship with every comrade-in-arms (44)

03:30 in the afternoon.

Riding a docile moonlight horse, Rosen was carefully guarded by the soldiers when he left Silvermoon Castle with the exorcism team from the Temple of the Pure World.

He rode by instinct only, and most of his thoughts were immersed in the virtual machine.

When he was concentrating on practicing the new spell, a gentle voice came from his ear.

"What have you been thinking about, Mage Rosen?"

It is Vena, the healing priestess of the temple.

She may not be the strongest healing priest in the temple, but she is the best at first aid, so she is also highly valued by the soldiers and protected by everyone.

Rosen also had a good impression of this priest. He looked back at Silvermoon Castle, which was gradually moving away, and responded with a smile.

"I'm thinking about magic."

The performance of the standard spells purchased by the mage guild is too ordinary.

Not only must you be proficient, but you must also create as many extraordinary versions as possible to meet the ever-changing combat needs.

Of course, these three spells are the icing on the cake, and his biggest reliance is the gravitational spell.

Wei Na smiled softly: "Xia Lina said that you are a nerd, I still don't believe it, now it seems that you are really obsessed with magic."

Xia Lina at the front of the team heard it, and said with a smile: "Okay ~ Sister Wei Na, don't bother him, let this kid focus on spells."

Wei Na smiled slightly, lightly whipped the horse, and ran to the front of the team, and responded softly: "Yes, yes, I will follow the order of the captain."

Rosen continued to immerse himself in the thinking world.

Because it was riding a horse, the speed was much faster than the last time walking. By dusk, the team reached the edge of Huangshui Highland.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the exorcist warriors found a place sheltered from the wind and near the water, set up a temporary tent, lit a bonfire, and prepared to spend the night in the wild.

Rosen spent a day working on the Juju virtual machine, and had two usable results.

The first is the flame halo
Extraordinary neutral logic six-star spell.

Dexterity range: 5% to 300%.

Magic power: 89.5 (intermediate upper class)
Spell introduction: Centering on the caster, a halo with an adjustable radius is formed, and the flame effect is applied to the designated target in the halo.

The target with the flame effect will be covered with a thick layer of magic armor, which can greatly increase the resistance to various spells, and use the flame to reflect part of the attack.

Maximum casting time: 2 seconds.

Spell Cost: Variable.

The second one is called Burning Praise.

Extraordinary fire polarity logic six-star spell
Dexterity: 5% to 404%.

Magic power: 93.8 (intermediate upper class)
Spell introduction: Attach a powerful flame effect to the designated weapon, making it obtain a powerful flame attack effect.This effect lasts up to 1 hour, or cancels after a total of 50 attacks are issued.

Maximum casting time: 2 seconds.

Casting cost: High.

Both spells are group-oriented support skills, and the casting difficulty is 6 stars, which is very suitable for Rosen's current situation, and it is also one of the main reasons why Fuller chose them.

After all, a person's mana is limited, his attention is limited, and his casting time is also limited.

Although it is refreshing for individuals to play a hero, it is not conducive to exerting the maximum combat effectiveness of the team, and it will greatly increase their own danger.

There is also a third spell: Burning Wall.

This spell has not yet been mastered, but Rosen can feel that it has a very deep potential for improvement. If it is used well, it is simply a great killer against the undead army.

Considering that it will take at least 4 and a half days to reach the vicinity of Baima Town, he has enough time to master and improve this spell.

"Here you are, freshly baked mudfish."

Xia Lina sat down beside him and handed him a gray and white 'mud stick'.

Rosen took the stick with the hands of a mage, and skillfully peeled off the outer layer of mud. Immediately, a strong aroma mixed with water vapor rushed out, causing his stomach to growl.

Still peeling a piece of white and tender fish with the hands of the magician, put it into his mouth and taste it carefully, the taste is tender but not fishy, ​​mixed with the faint fragrance of perilla grass.

After eating, I felt a warm current reverberating among the viscera, which was very comfortable, and more than half of the fatigue from the day's journey disappeared immediately.

He sincerely praised: "The taste is really good."

Xia Lina smiled triumphantly: "This is the secret method of grilling fish in the wild, with spices made by the temple in it."

After finishing speaking, she asked again: "Tell me about the new spell you have learned. If you want to cooperate in combat, you must be familiar with your own abilities."

Rosen has exactly this intention.

While eating, he talked about his situation.

In the end, he added: "In addition to spells, I have greatly added a lot of knowledge about necromancers and necromancers, and gained valuable experience in dealing with necromancers from the senior mage Fuller. .”

"It should help then."

"I've only read the knowledge for a day, how can it help?"

A somewhat tired man's voice came, but it was the vice-captain Feilin, who also held a grilled fish in his hand.

Rosen smiled and said: "It's useless for you to read it for a day, but it will be useful for me."

They are all comrades who have fought side by side, so he speaks more casually.

Fei Lin raised the bar with a look of dissatisfaction: "Why? Don't everyone have a head on their shoulders, even if there is a gap, it won't be too big to understand, right?"

Rosen smiled and said nothing.

Xia Lina raised her hand and patted Feilin on the shoulder, scolding with a smile: "Yes, they all have the same head. If you go to learn magic, you might be able to become an archmage in ten years."

Naturally, Feilin could hear the sarcasm. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and turned to look at Rosen: "Master, let's open everyone's eyes."

Rosen's heart skipped a beat, and he understood what Fei Lin wanted.

Feilin naturally knew his abilities, but this time he added two more teams of exorcist warriors. They only heard about the deeds, but never saw them with their own eyes.

They are actually strangers to themselves, and Filin is creating opportunities for himself, allowing new players to get acquainted with themselves, so as to increase the tacit understanding of the battle.

This is the benefit of having a life-and-death relationship, and it will remind you everywhere.

He thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm good at drawing, so I'll use it to show off my good mind. At the same time, I'll also draw an impromptu portrait of each brother, how about it?"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they applauded loudly.

Rosen took out the paper and pen that he carried with him, took a look at the film first, then chose a cool angle, and started printing.

Because he used a portable charcoal pencil, and Rosen's spellcasting ability was not the same as before, so the speed was very fast.

In a matter of minutes, the drawing is complete, and with one more set trick, charcoal drawings can be stored for a long time.

"Give you."

When Fei Lin saw it, he yelled out: "Ah, the painting is really similar, so I am so handsome!"

At the same time, he looked at Rosen with admiration.

"It can be drawn like this at a glance, and even the texture of the clothes is clearly displayed. The mind of the mage is better than mine."

The atmosphere suddenly rose, and the rest of the exorcist warriors rushed forward to ask for portraits.

Rosen laughed: "Everyone has it, don't squeeze, come one by one."

"Stand up before painting, and come out in a heroic pose."

"okay."

"Interesting~"

"Sir Philander's character is really easy-going, much better than other mage masters."

"That's for sure. Let me tell you, back then in the mine, my lord used spells to block the venom of the evil god. I couldn't believe it!"

During the chatter, Rosen drew portraits one by one.

Every exorcist warrior was very happy to get the portrait, and felt that he was full of energy, sharp eyes, and cold temperament in the painting, which was completely beyond his imagination.

Rosen also drew a picture for Sharina, but the latter's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at him.

After thinking about it for a while, Rosen knew that Xia Lina probably remembered the evening education. With a smile, he added a touch of charm to the heroic Xia Lina on the drawing paper.

Finally, there is the gentle big sister, Miss Wei Na.

She is in her early thirties, with a mature and plump figure, fair skin and a demure temperament.

Although wearing combat leather armor, there is no aura of war. Just standing there makes people feel a sense of reassuring tenderness, just like a wife waiting for her husband to return home, which can greatly soothe the soul.

Because of the help in the past, Rosen put more effort into drawing her.

When the painting was finished and she showed it to her, Wei Na let out a low voice, two blushes flew onto her pale cheeks, and then bowed to Rosen politely.

"Thank you sir for the painting."

"It's easy to say, haha~"

It took more than half an hour to make more than a dozen paintings, but it allowed Rosen to establish a good relationship with all his comrades.

After that, Rosen demonstrated the halo of flames and the scorching salute respectively, so that the exorcist fighters could get acquainted with his power.

After the rehearsal was over, it was getting dark. As an official mage, Rosen naturally had a special courtesy.

In order for the mage to rest better and recover his mana, he lived in a tent near the bonfire, and a total of 18 exorcist fighters surrounded the tent and scattered in the wilderness, just wrapped in a piece of animal skin.

The other person who received the same treatment was Healing Priest Wei Na. Since there was only one tent, she slept next to Rosen.

In the wild, everyone slept together, and the tents were open, so there was nothing ambiguous about it.

Staying in the tent, Rosen thought about how to improve the 'Burning Wall'.

This is a spell that integrates offense and defense. After casting, it can summon a long wall of flames that is 15 meters long and 4 meters high.

The wall of fire can stay still, or it can be continuously pushed in one direction for a distance of about 30 to 50 meters. It is a very powerful fire spell.

There are three disadvantages.

First, it is extremely energy-consuming.

With Rosen's current mana, if it is not supported by weapons and potions, releasing a standard version will exhaust mana.

Second, the casting time is as long as 4 seconds.

If it is deliberately targeted by the opponent, it must be protected by teammates before it has time to cast spells.

The long casting time is also a common problem with powerful spells.

Because the spell is powerful, more mana must be infused, and there is a limit to the flow of mana.

So, unless a special spellcasting technique is mastered, the more powerful the spell, the longer it will take to cast.

When it comes to high-level spells, there are even high-star spells as high as 6 seconds, or even ten seconds.

The third is that the spell form is too rigid, and the firewall can be easily bypassed.

These have to be changed,
After finishing his meditation homework, Rosen immersed himself in the spell virtual machine, ready to start changing spells.

At this time, everyone basically fell asleep, and the camp became very quiet, only the sound of the burning campfire and the low chirping of summer insects remained.

But faintly, Rosen felt something unusual.

He trembled in his heart: "Is there an enemy?"

After careful perception, I found that the movement came from my side, and it was transmitted from Wei Na.

Her breathing was rough and rapid.

Rosen squinted, only to find that she was lying down properly, very normal. No, not normal, she was pinching her legs!

In a flash, Rosen understood.

Temple priests have high moral requirements, but mortals have desires, and they have to vent after suppressing them for a long time.

Male priests can also pretend to be chic, but female priests can only dissolve themselves because of the huge risk of pregnancy.

This is a small secret of personal private life, it may be done in a few minutes, it will not affect the mission, and it will not even be known by others.

Rosen could find out that one was the short distance, and the other was because his five senses were extremely keen.

But now that he found out, Rosen wanted to help.

He patted Wei Na's arm lightly and whispered in her ear.

"I'll help you."

Wei Na was motionless and seemed to be asleep, but her flushed cheeks gave away the fact that she was pretending to be asleep.

If there is no response, it is the default.

Rosen used the two-star spellcasting ability as a mage's hand to help this gentle elder sister get rid of the abyss of desire.

With four and a half stars left, sink into the magic virtual machine and continue to transform spells.

After a while, Xia Lina's voice came from outside the tent: "Sister Wei Na, are you feeling unwell?"

Wei Na took a deep breath: "No, ahem~~hmm~~ I had a nightmare, it's okay, I'll be fine soon."

"Oh~ then please keep your voice down, don't wake up Rosen."

Silent all night.

The next step is to hurry.

By noon on the fifth day, Baima Town appeared in everyone's sight.

Looking at the curling smoke wafting over the town, and seeing the still shining golden blessing next to Lord Morey's Whitestone Castle, Vice Captain Ferlin laughed.

"It looks good, and it's not as serious as I thought."

Xia Lina rode her horse to a high place, staring into the distance.

"The night attack on the castle happened half a month ago, and half a month is enough to smooth out the traces on the surface, but the fear brought about by the death of more than 200 innocent people will not subside so quickly."

Rosen rode to Xia Lina's side, then opened the adventure log, zoomed out to the maximum, and carefully observed the situation in Baima Town.

After watching it for a while, he came to his own conclusions.

"There is a large new cemetery in the cemetery to the south of the town, and the security in the town has also been significantly strengthened."

"In addition, the new graves are generally small, and they should have been cremated. Therefore, we can't find clues about the necromancer from the corpse."

Xia Lina nodded slowly: "Necromancers are the resurrected dead. Lord Morey ordered the cremation. It is understandable, but it did destroy a lot of key evidence."

She looked at Rosen: "I heard from Xia Bolai that there is a nightingale society in the town that believes in Rose, the spider mother."

Rosen nodded: "That's right, I also know one of the spider apostles, Lilith. From her words and deeds, it can be speculated that the Nightingale Society should be specially collecting information for Lord Morey."

"Spider Mother Rose was an evil god in ancient times. She wasn't very powerful. She is currently hiding in the frosty land in the north. She is a coquettish and cruel god who likes to lure men to fall. Her apostles are basically prostitutes. "

Xia Lina introduced the background of the spider mother.

Feilin also ran over to join in the fun, and sneered coldly when he heard the words.

"The beliefs of the lords are as fragile as duckweed, and it doesn't matter whether the civilians live or die."

"To me, the reason why Lord Morey was attacked at night by the army of the undead is most likely because of some rotten asshole."

"Who knows."

Sharina shrugged, not commenting on the lord's morality.

Becoming an official exorcist warrior, she has seen too much darkness in the world over the years of performing tasks, and she has become numb.

Waving her hand in the direction of Baima Town, she began to gallop and shouted, "Let's go, let's meet that Necromancer."

Rosen chased after him and asked, "Nightingale Club, do you want to get rid of it?"

Charlene shook her head.

"Rose is not the same as other gods. Other evil gods need to serve for a long time, but Rose likes to buy and sell with a hammer."

"She will give the mark of the spider mother in exchange for [-]% of the life force in the recipient. After the exchange is complete, she will completely sever contact with the recipient."

"So, the so-called spider apostles are just a group of warriors who can change their forms, and they are not very threatening."

"Furthermore, since the Nightingale Society specializes in collecting intelligence, we can make full use of it."

"understood."

　Sigh of relief.
