The knight in the abyss

Chapter 27 New Member

Pluto snarled to meet him, and with a sharp swing of his missing shield knocked one of the hounds to the ground, and then his hammer fell, smashing the enemy's head into a shattered apple.

The other abyss hound had no intention of helping its companions at all. It rushed directly to those who were not wearing armor behind, and its eyes were red under the influence of hunger and madness.

Lancelot has already drawn out the poisonous kiss, ready to throw another attack.

At this time, Karalin suddenly raised his right hand, and a ring on his ring finger gave off a strong flash.

At this time, Pluto had already rushed over and went down with a hammer to completely solve this potential threat.

"The one with the most kills first!"

Karalin shouted at Lancelot.

Lancelo didn't think much about it, and threw out the poisonous kiss that was already in his hand.

The dark green dagger accurately hit the heart of the two-headed Abyss Hound and nailed its body to the ground.The two-headed vicious dog's dangling limbs twitched violently twice, completely motionless.

All the abyss hounds stopped fighting immediately and ran away with their tails tucked.

"Not bad." Lancelot swung his great sword and wiped off the blood on it. "You are more useful than you claim to be."

"The one with the most heads of this kind of creature is usually the boss. As long as the leader is dealt with, the rest will be scattered. This is the power of knowledge." Karalin grinned and pointed to the corpses of the abyss hounds on the ground, "These creatures They are beasts and not demons, so the flesh will remain after killing them, rather than dissipating as quickly as demons do. Their hides are a good material for boots, handbags, or belts, so don't waste them already."

Hearing this, Brutus took out a dagger and skillfully peeled it off.Lancelot asked curiously:

"What was that just now? Are you a spellcaster?"

Hearing this, Karalin shook his head.

"Scholarly is not a spellcaster in the strict sense. Scholars don't have the magical talent required to be a mage, but we have mastered the art of relying on items like scrolls to cast spells."

"What does it mean to cast spells on a scroll?"

"The essence of magic is the effect of reshaping the magic net that affects the world. The main reason why scholars are inferior to mages is that they lack the ability to control magic nets, and they cannot cast spells as quickly as mages in battle. The spell needs to be 'prepared' for the operation of the magic net in advance, and when using it, it only needs to inject magic power in the last step of casting the spell, and then the spell can be released."

"But you seem to be using this ring just now, right?" Pluto pointed to Karalin's hand, curious about the ordinary-looking ring.

"Scrolls are generally disposable, but the advantage is low cost; magic items that can be used repeatedly require much more cost and effort." Karalin stretched out his right hand, and people noticed that the ring was engraved with tiny pattern. "This ring contains the flash technique, which can create a strong light, which is very effective against enemies that are close enough, provided it has eyes."

"It's really good." Lancelot looked at the ring with interest. "So, as long as you are prepared, there is no difference between a scholar and a mage."

"No, the gap is still quite large." Karalin smiled bitterly, "Scholars learn magic at a much slower rate than mages. A magic apprentice can master third-level spells after about two years of training, while a The scholar's apprentice is still struggling trying to cast a first-level spell."

"Uh, sorry, interrupt, what do you mean by ring?" Lancelot asked curiously.

"You've already cast the magic of summoning a war horse, don't you have any idea about it?"

"Not at all." Lancelot shook his head, "This is what the elves taught me. I just meditate, make gestures, and recite spells as they say. If I'm lucky, a horse with a saddle will appear. In front of me."

"Well... Maybe you actually have the talent for magic." Karalin said enviously, and then he continued to explain: "The level of magic can be simply understood as the level of spells, the highest level of 9th-level magic requires a lot of preparation work and expensive materials, but the effect is very powerful, and there are even 'wish spells' that can change reality, or 'otherworld gates' that can make people leave the current plane. 0th-level spells are some very simple spells, but It is also effective at the right time, such as the 'flash spell' I just put on."

"That is to say, if you can keep getting stronger, in the future you can also use the magic of that gate to let us leave this abyss world?" Pluto quickly grasped the point and looked at Karalin with anticipation.

"Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for scholars to master 9th-level magic." Karalin shook his head. "The strongest scholar I know can only barely cast an eight-ring magic. Before that, he spent a full month to prepare this magic in advance, and after the end, he lay on the bed for three days because of the burden on his body. sky."

"Oh, okay." Pluto's face showed a look of regret. "At least we know how to get out of this hell and find an advanced spellcaster, right?"

"A high-level spellcaster can indeed do it." Karalin nodded. "But don't forget, advanced spellcasters themselves are very powerful, and it's not easy to ask them to help, let alone in the abyss."

"How many levels of magic can you master now?" Lancelot was more concerned about Karalin's strength.

"My limit is two second-ring magics and four first-ring magics. Zero-ring magic is not limited, but you still need to prepare the corresponding scrolls in advance, and then you must take a sufficient rest to restore the spellcasting ability." He said embarrassedly, "But we have an advantage, most of the magic can be remembered in our minds, and we don't have to carry a spell book with me like a mage, and due to a lot of practice and prior preparation, scholars cast through scrolls The strength of magic is slightly higher than that placed by the mage on the spot, and it is more difficult to resist."

"How is the power of the second ring magic?" Pluto asked curiously.

"Uh, the acid arrow is a typical second-ring magic. With my ability, I can release three acid arrows at a time, which is probably... just enough to seriously injure a cowardice." Karalin's tone was a little guilty. "I know that the combat prowess that Sir Lancelot showed just now is completely incomparable, but I am an academic staff first, and my main energy is in areas other than improving combat prowess."

"If you give up your offensive ability, do you have any auxiliary or self-protection spells?" Lancelot's expression became serious.

"The zero-level spells I have mastered include 'repair', which can repair equipment; 'detect poison', which tests whether an item or an area is poisonous; one-level magic has 'mounting', which is similar to how you summon a warhorse; very suitable for Escape, the 'oil on the soles of your feet' that can greatly increase your movement speed; the 'protection against evil' that is effective against all kinds of evil creatures; there is even a 'human transformation' that can double your size and increase your strength. Great art'."

At this moment, Karalin realized the meaning implied in Lancelot's words, and his face became serious, and continued:

"The second-level spells I can only cast twice a day now, so I have to choose carefully. The second-level spells I currently have are the aforementioned 'acid arrows', which can summon a gust of strong wind's 'wind spell' to let volunteers get rid of them Gravity's 'levitation', 'invisibility' that makes a person or object disappear, and the corresponding 'see through invisibility', as well as some spells that can enhance teammates' attributes such as strength and agility."

"It's all very useful." Lancelot smiled, "Then, Mr. Karalin, can I formally propose to you to join my adventure team? On the one hand, you don't have to worry about how to obtain the right to reside in Shuangqiao Town. , on the other hand, our adventure can also satisfy your curiosity about demon knowledge to the greatest extent."

"I'm worrying about how to speak to you." Karalin also smiled. "I would love it, Ser Lancelot. I'm sure I can help you."

　These two settings have a little more things, I hope you don't feel bored!
