Kamail proposed a solution for a high-power long-range weapon. In Gawain’s view, this solution may not completely solve the “artillery” problem, but at least to a certain extent, it can fill the gap currently occupied by Sisi. The biggest shortcoming of our army.
The Cecil combat soldiers already have very powerful personal weapons and have established an absolute advantage on the traditional battlefield of this era that relies on soldiers to fight for life and death. However, for Gawain who has the memory of the earth, In other words, if there are no heavy weapons that can completely overpower manpower and can affect the balance of the battlefield as a whole, then a modern army will be far from being formed.
Facing the monsters in the demonic tide, the power of the "human sea" is ultimately unreliable. Only more powerful artillery fire can bring hope of survival to mankind.
However, even if Kamel's plan is feasible, Gawain has not given up the idea of creating a live ammunition weapon - there are too many magical materials with strange properties in this world, and there are also them in the wasteland of Gondor. There are too many unpredictable threats, and it is difficult for a single type of weapon to deal with the ever-changing battlefield. For Gawain, who is cautious by nature, kinetic weapons still make him feel more at ease.
After summarizing the various problems that occurred in this defensive battle, and finalizing the details of the adjustment, training, and publicity guidance of the troops after the battle, Gawain breathed out and turned to Hetty: "Rui. How is Beca's condition?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that she will fall asleep for a long time due to excessive mental energy loss." The expression on Hetty's face was a bit strange, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh. , "Since she was a child, she has rarely experienced excessive mental depletion. The child's mental power and magic power reserves are far beyond ordinary people. Throwing hundreds of fireballs a day never made her tired. This time she was really acting up. ."
In this world, mental power and magic power reserves are two important indicators of a person's magic talent, and their functions are also different - in the simplest and most straightforward explanation, mental power It is the ability to control magic and sense magic, which determines a person's spell-casting skills and the stability of continuous casting. The magic reserve is the power consumed when casting spells, and determines the spells a person can release within a certain period of time. Total energy consumption. Generally speaking, these two indicators are synchronized - it is rare that a person's mental power far exceeds his magic power reserves, or that his magic power reserves far exceed his mental power.
Of course, there are exceptions. Just like the second-level arcanist Santis who is working as a teacher in the territory, he is an example of a man whose magic reserve is far lower than his mental power.
Although Rebecca is a strange girl, her "development" in these two indicators is very normal, and she is even much stronger than the average mage. She is just born with "spells" The lack of "bits" leads to defects in spell casting, which is equivalent to the lack of strength in the mage world.
So when Rebecca recklessly used the magic net as her own magic reserve, she encountered a situation where her mental strength was overwhelmed, and it was seriously overwhelmed - but this cannot be blamed. She, after all, the Magic Network itself is a brand new thingThings, how can an ordinary mage have such an opportunity to control huge energy? Generally speaking, if a mage can hold a piece of magic crystal and release several over-the-limit spells, it is considered a wealthy act, but the city-level magic network in the territory can explode countless magic crystals...
Thankfully, I am stupid. The skull of a roe deer is really hard, and humans also have a self-protection mechanism of "fainting if they can't bear it", otherwise something big will happen...
"This time she was a bit foolhardy, but when did she It’s not nonsense,” Gawain said with some confusion, “And thanks to her nonsense this time, she gave us an idea for making a new weapon.”
“Speaking of Miss Rebecca, there is one thing. I've always been curious about it," Kamel suddenly said, "Does she only know one fireball technique?"
Hetty nodded: "Yes, she only knows this one, and she can't learn it." Others."
"But her fireball technique has various forms and... levels," Kamel said with confusion and thinking in his tone, "I have seen her create it. Ordinary small fireballs, big fireballs, fireballs like Pyroblast, this time the fireball is bigger than the city gate, I have also seen her create two fireballs that are only as big as bird eggs and rub them in her hands... these Has anyone taught her?”
“She has gone so far as to play with fireballs as a walnut?” Gawain was shocked, and then coughed twice, “Ahem, no one taught her— —And what normal mage would study so many insane fireball-making skills? They are all just made by her."
After all, the silly roe deer can't do anything else except fireball-making. If you don’t think about this, what are you thinking about?
Camel looked even more curious than before: "Is this also the ability she has had since she was a child?"
After receiving confirmation from Gawain and Hetty, the ancient demon The instructor finally expressed his doubts: "Do you think there may be so many variations of fireball?"
"...Actually, I was also curious about this issue a long time ago," Hetty was silent. After a moment, he finally said, "I also took her to a well-known magician in the southern region for advice, but the master couldn't tell what was wrong with Rebecca's magic talent. She just can't rub it. Fireballs, but he can also use various incredible skills to create fireballs..."
Gawain glanced at Hetty silently, and said to himself that under his leadership, everyone in the territory would I started to assume that fireballs are made by "rubbing" - obviously not long ago, everyone was still talking about fireballs as "releasing"...
"I feel in Miss Rebecca's fireballs" When it comes to the original and pure magic power fluctuations, I very much suspect that the magic that looks like a fireball is actually just a high-temperature effect that she forcibly created with huge magic power - just because the spherical shape is the easiest magic structure to stabilize itself, so this Only high-temperature energy groups will appear in the state of fireballs..."
Hetty's tone became slightly anxious: "Master Kamel, do you understand what's wrong with Rebecca's magic talent? ”
Although she often hits Rebecca on the head, it is obvious that she still cares about her niece who she brought up since childhood.
"No, I can't see the source of Rebecca's strange spell-casting talent, but I suspect...she doesn't even know how to fireball," Kamel said slowly, "But I don't think this is a 'spellcasting defect'. If her fireball technique is a more essential form of magic release, then it means that she has broken through the limitations of traditional mage's 'spell level' and 'skill'. In other words, Fireball is not a first-level magic, nor is it a second-level or third-level magic - if we can understand the principle of her spell, perhaps our research on the nature of magic can even go further."
Gowen. Finally, I know the reason why Kamel is so persistent on this issue - it's because the series of "whys" he threw to the other party after the last successful development of the magic obelisk inspired this ancient magician to research the nature of magic. Enthusiasm, now he has developed to the point where he wants to study any abnormal magical phenomena he sees.
But having said that... Rebecca's strange fireball talent... is indeed worth studying.
"Let's wait until Miss Rebecca recovers," Kamel quickly calmed down from the researcher's state, "and there are too many unknown things, I want to give myself a new The work needs to be planned."
After the meeting, Gao Wen and others left the Government Affairs Hall one after another, and soon the conference room became deserted.
Kamel stayed at the end. He floated up from his seat, but before leaving, he heard a slight noise from under the table, and then a long tail first came from the table. The edge touched the table, and after scanning back and forth twice, Till climbed up, rubbing his eyes.
"Haah..." Miss Siren seemed to have fallen asleep again during the second half of the meeting. At this time, she was still unclear about the situation, "Have everyone left?"
Then she stretched her upper body vigorously, and her tail stretched so straight that it almost bounced to the wall. After a stretch, she shook her hair with satisfaction: "Go back to sleep, sleep..."
Kamel looked at the siren as if he hadn't noticed him at all, and couldn't help but break the silence: "Miss Tire, please wait a moment."
"Huh? There is still one left?" Er was stunned for a moment, then looked back slowly, "Oh, it will glow - are you asleep too?"
"I'll leave it at the end," Kamel is not a person who is good at joking. , answered in a straight tone, "Miss Tire, I want to talk to you."
"What to talk about?" Till lazily raised his eyelids, "If you want to study the magic of our sea monster or Forget about technology, our spells and technologies are completely different from non-elemental creatures like you, and the gap is wider than the spell systems of humans and elves."
"No, it's about those... aberrations. "
Tear just wanted to go back to sleep: "Aberration.? Then go to Gawain. 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 in Kamel's eyes flickered, "you mentioned that aberrations are a kind of monster that failed to survive the demonic tide. Completely mutated 'failures', they were not born from the demonic tide, but were transformed by the demonic tide... Is that so? "
"I didn't say it so definitely, but it probably means something similar," Till stopped yawning. Under the support of the snake's tail, her upper body was slightly raised, almost looking down at the floating Ka. Meyer, "No wonder I felt the energy reaction in your body was very violent at that time... You said you were frightened by one of Rebecca's spells, but an ancient magician like you is not so easily frightened by a spell. "
Camel said nothing, acquiescing to Tire's statement.
"I heard Gawain tell the story of the Disobedient Fortress, as well as your plan back then, which is very interesting. Feeling...so I can probably guess what answer you want to get from me," Tire slowly lowered his body, and then suddenly stretched his hand to his abdomen - Kamal watched this scene in horror (inwardly) , he saw that the sea monster had directly inserted her hand into his body, and her torso, arms and part of her clothes turned into a water-like texture in the process. Tire dug around in his stomach for a moment, and then put a piece of The bone fragment glowing with an unknown dark red color was taken out from the body. She handed it to Kamel's hand, "The answer is for you to find it yourself - I found this bone fragment on the city wall. From an aberration, its chaotic magic has been purified by me. You can study it safely, but you have to hurry, it is disintegrating itself every moment. ”
(Recommend a book that is imaginative and creative. Xia Hua’s new book “I’m Really Immortal” has 800,000 words, which is awesome. As for the content...you can guess it just by looking at the title of the book. , the protagonist is an immortal person living in modern society...)
