What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 113 Enchanting
Colin still felt uncomfortable with the elves' concept of time, but the result satisfied both parties.

Knowing that the elves like to be quiet, in order to show his sincerity, Colin cleaned up a podium of the castle for the 22 new guests to live in.The entrance and exit here are independent of the entire castle, so that the elves do not need to meet with other people frequently.

But in fact, Colin found that these elegant races still prefer the jungle.

Almost half of the time would be spent in the forest in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range outside the fortress. Once Colin was invited by Olivia to attend their banquet, and found that more than 20 elves had already established in the depths of the forest. a place of residence.

In the middle is a reclaimed flat land, and wooden houses made of tree trunks and branches are scattered around.

Lighting a bonfire, picking wild fruits and leaves as food, singing and dancing leisurely, life is simply comfortable.

The long life and no extra desires lead to the extremely low birth rate of the elves.The only hobby is to chew some mint. This day is incomprehensible to human beings, and they are envious to death.

It may be because they feel that it is "not natural enough". The elves never like the act of modifying seeds and soil, so the mint they grow by themselves is always not as good as human beings, and the varieties are not rich enough.

In the small amount of trade with humans, mint accounts for more than half.

Besides enjoying life in the woods, the favorite place for these handsome men and women to stay is above the city walls.

The history of elves is much longer than that of humans. Before humans landed on the southern continent, orcs and elves had become sworn enemies.

I don't know why this conflict, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years, started, but the blood of both sides has already engraved the gene of hatred.

As long as Colin has time, he will accompany Olivia when she climbs the city wall.

Looking at the way the elves shot and killed the orcs, he even felt that there was not only hatred in it, but also a kind of pleasure after the slaughter—probably like the feeling of humans when they slapped mosquitoes to death.

Orcs are not mosquitoes, however.

Having been hated by the powerful elves for such a long time, they still live happily on the Wind Whisper Plain. In terms of numbers, the orcs are probably the humanoid creatures that reproduce the most besides humans.

"Your Excellency Olivia, do the arrows you shoot contain some kind of natural magic?" Colin asked the question that he had been curious for a long time after a few days, and after the two sides got a little familiar with each other.

"This is the thorns technique in the druid technique. It can be applied to the arrow and can significantly increase the penetration effect, but it has a lot to do with my natural magic ability."

"That is to say, you all use ordinary bows and arrows?"

"Is there any special bows and arrows?" Olivia was puzzled at first, then nodded: "I know that there are enchanted weapons in the human world, but they seem to be very rare, and enchanting bows and arrows seems to have never been heard before. As I said, none of the basic frameworks in your magwenology is suitable for parts like arrows."

From this point of view, Olivia obviously has a certain understanding of magic.

Although Druidism is out of the scope of magic, after all, it is also driven by the use of spiritual power, not to mention that these races with long lives, no matter how lazy they are, will actively or passively receive a lot of knowledge.

Weapon enchantment can be regarded as a major category in magwenology.

But it is very different from ordinary magic patterns.

The magic pattern is essentially a precise and complex magic circle, and any mistake or change will affect its effect.

And weapons that need to be swung at high speed and constantly collide violently are obviously not suitable places for magic patterns to be portrayed.

This requires the magician to use great ability and patience to resolve the contradictions inside.

It can't be too complicated, otherwise it's easy to break down. If you cut it out with a knife, the enemy will be fine, and you will collapse yourself first.

It can't be too simple, otherwise it's useless.

In fact, most of the high-priced weapons in the name of enchanting belong to the latter. The magic pattern is indeed simple enough, but the effect is often just to make an unexpected sound while waving.

It is said that a magician found a unique way to put an enchantment on a knight's weapon. The effect is to make a sound similar to that of the ladies in the Moulin Rouge when they are excited, which can often make the opponent stunned on the spot or distracted.

The knight was almost victorious in the first duel, but in the end he couldn't stand the worldly eyes and chose to change weapons, and died soon after.

And those real enchanted weapons are all masterpieces, expensive and rare.

And because the magic pattern itself does not generate energy, it is often necessary to add energy storage gems such as magic spar, which makes its use cost even higher.

"Your Excellency Olivia, maybe you can try the arrows unique to our fortress."

Colin didn't explain much, and asked Roderick to fetch a quiver from a soldier, took out one of the arrows, and handed it to Olivia.

The puzzled elf held the arrow in his hand and observed it for a moment.

"How did you do it? Is this magic pattern really effective?"

"The effect is just average."

Colin smiled and said: "You know, the magic pattern itself can't generate energy, and our soldiers don't have spiritual power, so the energy source that makes the magic pattern work is only the wind energy charging when the arrow is running at high speed, which not only slows down The speed of the arrow is reduced, and in the reality that the energy conversion rate is extremely low, it can only produce a not-so-good burst effect."

A single explosive arrow is indeed not powerful, it often needs to be fired in large numbers, and the effect is only good when the enemy is concentrated enough.

Fortunately, the orcs developed a habit of concentrating their charge on the plains. When they found out that they were at a disadvantage and wanted to disperse, they had already reduced their staff too much.

Colin continued: "As far as I know, natural spells are derived from water magic, so they have good extensibility. It is difficult for ordinary magicians to do this kind of method of injecting spiritual power into arrows, and there is no way to do it." It is necessary to do so."

For a magician, injecting mental power into a weapon is purely superfluous. With that skill, a direct fireball can solve the problem.

But the direct attack ability of natural magic is not outstanding.

Powerful Elven Druids do not lack the means of "Starfall" to kill a group of enemies, but relatively speaking, the method of using bows and arrows to add natural spells saves mental power and is the most cost-effective.

Olivia nodded, and put the arrow on her short bow in an extremely elegant posture.

Green light burst out from the tip of the arrow, and then a ray of light shot down the city.

Everyone was attracted by this eye-catching "shooting star", and they all watched it fly into the crowd of orcs.

"boom!"

Deafening explosions resounded across the battlefield, shocking everyone on both sides.

Huge sparks shot out in all directions, splashing to a range of tens of feet around.

There was silence on the walls.

The first thought of the soldiers in the fortress is: It's over!To be unemployed.
