Chapter 308: Seris is full of martial virtue (5000 words)
The next day, the mages in Terry City were secretly spreading gossip about yesterday's attack.

It is the job of investigators to trace the origin and true identity of the pawns.

More people still focus on Roland himself.

Although Roland didn't want to admit it, there were many loudmouths among his entourage. For a time, many apprentices in the tower and even low-level mages followed suit.

Everyone believed that cracking the enemy's head with a wand or spell book would indeed save spell quotas.

At this time, a manuscript was suddenly published on the website of the Seris School.

Its title is: "Serlis Style Martial Arts - Feasibility Analysis of Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts".

The content is as follows:

"As we all know, warriors are the collective name for the basic professions corresponding to spellcasters, and their advancements include warriors, knights, boxers, etc., similar to alchemists and summoners to spellcasters.

Corresponding to the magic power, the warrior's advancement also involves the use of the power of fighting spirit, which is the inert magic power produced by the fusion of mana with human energy, blood and spiritual power.

The major countries in the pan-plane usually divide fighting energy into three major stages according to changes in form.

At the low-level stage, you can only promote luck in your own body and use it as a kind of gain power.

The warrior's advanced profession can use it to trigger explosive attacks in a short period of time. Many martial arts must be used in conjunction with fighting spirit.

It can also be effectively cushioned during defense to protect internal organs, muscles and bones.

The middle level can make fighting spirit overflow from the body surface, and a light similar to magic aura emerges.

In addition, you can also use magic potions to refine elemental attributes and give them powers such as frost, fire, thunder and lightning.

As for high-level weapons, they can be attached to weapons to extend, or transform their forms and properties.

Great Sword Masters and their ilk can even expel energy outside their bodies, unleashing pure energy to attack at short to medium distances!

The top ones among them, known as Sword Saints and Martial Saints, can harvest the enemy's life like mowing grass on the battlefield because they can attack from a distance. No matter how strong the opponent is, it is a dimension-reducing strike.

......"

This article introduces in detail some content related to warriors, advanced warriors, fighting energy, etc. It can be regarded as a popularization of knowledge in the arcane world.

It aims to introduce the bitterness in the dust to the superior spell casters.

However, the conversation changed and he wrote again.

“Since the age of magic, the magic world has generally believed that pursuing a concurrent profession will distract time, energy, and precious magic power. However, after the popularity of arcana and superstition was broken, it was discovered that dual cultivation of magic and martial arts has been common throughout the ages.

What's more, they believe that there has been no distinction between magic and martial arts since ancient times, but they are just different uses of energy and one's own body.

Only warriors above the Great Sword Master can release fighting spirit and energy. The fundamental reason is that fighting spirit is a kind of inert energy, which is not as easy to resonate and sense as magic power.

Starting from the training of fighting spirit, the step-by-step activation and operation, it can overflow to the body surface, and then be stimulated outward, showing effects similar to spells. In fact, they are all similar to the evolution of magical creatures.

If we condense the fighting spirit into the shape of a magic missile and then activate it, wouldn't this be the fighting spirit version of the level 1 spell "Magic Missile"?
Therefore, the fundamental elements are still based on Mana resonance and the control closely related to it..."

This article extracts the essence of a warrior's fighting spirit and unifies it with the theory of magic power and mana resonance.

Its significance is simply no less than the electromagnetic unity of the Blue Star scientific community in the previous life!

When Roland saw this, he immediately noticed it and realized that the "Maxwell's Equations" of the magic and martial arts masters were here!
As expected, the author's next argument leads in this direction.

"...So, like all the predecessors over the past thousands of years, the author also believes that dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is destined to be feasible, but it lacks certain necessary conditions that are not yet known.

At the same time, the backlash of the Mana resonance is too powerful, and it is still uncomfortable to cast the spell. It directly affects the physical body, and can easily tear muscles and damage the lungs and internal organs.

I hereby predict that there may be some kind of transformation spell that can transform magic power into fighting spirit and provide it to mages who meet the conditions! "

……

Author's signature: Anquis.

Winchester Mage Tower, Intermediate Lecturer (Level [-]).

As soon as Roland noticed the news, he noticed that the tower spirit prompted him to send an unsolicited email.

"Your Excellency Roland, I would like to excuse you, but I was lucky enough to discover some interesting phenomena while studying warrior professions and martial arts fighting spirit...

Attached, experimental process and verification data..."

The reason for sending emails is to leave a trace and protect the results.

Taking the initiative to tell the reason for the discovery is to seek sponsorship!

Roland has met many such people since he became famous.

If there are dates or no dates, it will be three strokes. Anyway, you will not die if you send emails.

Roland took a brief look at it and became somewhat interested. He immediately called Rosa and said, "Show this to Mr. Gatos."

Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have not been separated. Let these professionals do their work.

And what he has to do...

"Write a letter of introduction in my name and help him try out a special subject on magic and martial arts.

In addition, regardless of whether the committee approves funds or not, 10 gold coins will be taken out of my personal property for investment.

By the way, are you interested in changing jobs here?

Promotion to senior lecturer or even winning a prize depends on his own efforts, but I can guarantee that the salary increase will be at least 50%. "

Rosa heard it, responded, and went to do it.

Roland continued to check various news on the Magic Network.

Suddenly, another article caught his attention.

"If I swing this staff, you might die!"

It was an informal article written by a low-level mage, describing the process of training his fighting spirit according to the martial arts of Seris and successfully using it.

The other party suggested in an excited tone that everyone make the staff into a weapon similar to a mace or a melon hammer, and add various elemental enchantments if necessary.

In this way, if you swing it in a circle, it will not only be accompanied by physical attacks, but also a lot of elemental damage.

The comments below are mixed.

Most people think that doing this is just like taking off your pants and farting, which is unnecessary, but there is no lack of approval.

After all, according to the traditional view, mages are all weak scholars who are not good at melee combat. On the contrary, among the clergy, there are more priests who are blessed with divine magic and can fight and resist, and truly realize the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.

But if you can do this, you can completely surprise the enemy and give him a hard time.

Just imagine, a group of assassins bully a mage for being weak, and try their best to get close to him despite being attacked by spells, looking for opportunities to fight at close quarters.

But unexpectedly, Master Fa swung his staff and blew the dog's head off on the spot.

Various elemental energies are colorful and can also explode into rainbow fireworks.

This is much more elegant than running away in a hurry.

Everyone worked together to make suggestions, including but not limited to how to design the shape and material of this melee staff, what kind of magic to add, how to disguise it, and how to use it.

Some people have even found information on skills such as "Homeopathic Cleavage" among warrior specialties, intending to learn from them and invent magical martial arts skills specific to them.

Because Roland once carried "The Analects of Confucius", the phrase "conquer people with virtue" is widely known.

Naturally, this melee staff and the corresponding "staff method" are also jokingly called "the staff that conquers people with virtue."

Of course, another group of people think it should be called a "rainbow staff."

So the two groups started to quarrel in online posts and got into a heated argument.

Roland did not stop the quarrel between these people.

He is young and very energetic.

Maybe no one would be convinced by anyone, so they would go back and hold their breath to prove themselves.

If this energy can be directed to the right areas, it will be beneficial to development.

He will not easily stifle the enthusiasm of young people.

Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is just like transforming a lich. It is a high-end and difficult operation and does not have the conditions to be popularized by the general public.

The greatest significance of the birth of Seris Martial Arts is the same as printing, which is its popularization.

Youdao is the prophet of spring water, and these seemingly half-joking discussions are enough to prove that many people are ready to make a move.

When Roland saw this, his heart moved slightly. He secretly saved the information on "Conquering the Human Staff with Virtue/Rainbow Staff" and sent it to the exclusive alchemy workshop in the mage tower, with the intention of creating an exclusive weapon for melee mages!

That's right, even he was moved.

Things like "Antonia's Magic Book", although they are pseudo-artifacts, are strong enough and durable...

But there’s no such thing as a staff, right? …

Compared with the sensitivity of the mage group, the warriors who originally had their own cultivation methods and improvement paths lagged behind.

For the time being, information about Siris' martial arts is only circulated among the top brass of the mercenary group such as Jonis.

Not to mention that the information is not very complete, there are also some exploratory test items, which contain some immature content.

However, compared to the mages, the biggest advantage of Jonis and others is that they are warriors and have fighting spirit.

Intermediate warriors have their own judgment.

Moreover, at this time, Jia Tuosi's medical clinic also appropriately introduced some medicinal diet parts, advocating that medicine and food come from the same source, and practice and nourish one.

This concept is undoubtedly extremely advanced compared to the traditional fighting spirit that can easily destroy the body.

Because the training methods of most warriors pursue efficiency.

Some warriors who have the conditions for treatment will even deliberately touch the limits of their own bodies, squeezing their potential again and again, and making breakthroughs one after another.

Driven by this concept, it has become a matter of course that whoever is better at maintaining health will be better at fighting.

This also made Jia Tuosi's medical clinic finally welcome the first batch of customers who were not so loyal.

"For the sake of promotion, let's make most of the formulas available to the public for free. Anyway, if they are not magic potions, their effects will be limited, and they cannot compete with those alchemical potions.

However, if it is made using magic materials, you can consider registering a patent.

If you trust me, I can ask someone to help you with these chores. "

Another day, Roland summoned Jatos to discuss the matter with him.

Jia Tuosi said hurriedly: "Wherever it goes, these formulas are all in your name."

Roland said: "It's not necessary. The rules themselves are the most important. Just follow the rules of the arcane world."

As a high-level mage, he naturally has to uphold the rules and not take advantage of petty gains.

"It's another matter. I really might need your help."

After discussing the formula, Roland said to Jiatus again.

"The Queen's new army is preparing to cultivate an ace army according to the theory of Seris's martial arts.

Its name is 'Blood Eagle Rui'! "

This comes from the name of Qin Ruishi in Chinese history.

Zhao Bianqi, Qi Martial Arts, Wei Wuzu and Qin Ruishi were the top aces during the Warring States Period when the Seven Heroes competed for hegemony.

Among them, Qin Ruishi can be called the elite among the elite, the ace among the aces.

"Xunzi·Yi Bing" contains: Therefore, the martial arts of Qi cannot meet the soldiers of the Wei family; the soldiers of the Wei family cannot meet the warriors of Qin, which is enough to prove its prestige.

The name Blood Eagle was Roland's suggestion and was borrowed from the special forces Iron Eagle Swordsman created by the Qin general Sima Cuo in "The Qin Empire". (There is no historical record, it is a fabrication in the work "The Qin Empire")
From Rosa's point of view, this is to commemorate her younger brother, Silaire, who is also known as "Eagle".

It just so happens that in the tradition of the Lena people, they like to use animals as good names for great nobles, such as "Eagle" Silaire and "Lion" Felie.

So the blood eagle warrior means paying for blood debt with blood.

We must use this army to fight bloody battles, complete the great cause of revenge and unification, and create a prosperous and powerful Reiner version of the Qin Empire.

"If you have the time and energy, walk around more and give some personal guidance."

Roland intends to cultivate some followers for the mages of his school to form a mage guard.

This is the experimental field.

If everything goes well, he also plans to copy the successful experience of the "Blood Eagle Ruins" and establish a talent training mechanism.

Hearing this, Jiatusi quickly agreed.

Not only because of Roland's status as benefactor, he also needs volunteers for these human experiments if he wants to develop.

This is no time-consuming and laborious guidance. It is clearly an excellent experimental product, the kind that is not easy to recruit even with money.

……

Time flies and it is more than a month later.

Just as the training trials were going on and the development of Sailis martial arts was in full swing.

Suddenly, bad news comes.

The front suffered a huge defeat.

Ferrer's army marched for more than 300 miles and captured more than 10 towns in one go.

Although victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, losing such a battle and even losing troops and generals is nothing to the overall situation.

However, Roland and others soon discovered that the weapons of Fei Lie's army had become significantly better, and various magic props and alchemy potions also rapidly increased.

"They opened up the southwest border and received a lot of funding from enthusiastic neighbors!"

The think tank quickly responded and judged that their previous strategic goal was to open up business channels.

"Atlain's control over Silena is weaker than that of East Lena. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to agree to restore the Black Dragon Dynasty and also support the Red Sand Army to oppose them.

But now, these two forces are causing chaos in Atrein, and there seems to be the shadow of the Automedia Empire behind it!
If even the dark elves rebelled, and Serad and others from the north took the opportunity to invade, they would really be besieged on all sides. "

Roland frowned. He often watched international news and had seen such nonsense.

After listening to his analysis, Rosa suggested: "Sir, let the newly recruited Blood Eagle warriors go to the battlefield for training. The real elites are created by fighting.

They are originally the elites among the royal guards. As long as they can be used well, they will definitely gain something! "

"That's it...that's fine!"

Magical wars have their own special circumstances. It is possible for an elite force to defeat thousands of troops.

So agreed.

The next day, March 4.

In the open space on the eastern outskirts of Tyrui City, a 24-man "Blood Eagle Warriors" unit stood ready to be inspected by Roland and Queen Rosa.

Their leader, the veteran Wilma, the former second-in-command of the Royal Guards, led everyone to pay tribute, but did not kneel down.

Because at this moment, they were covered in armor and put on thick equipment with enchantments.

This is a real magical equipment, with a certain degree of spell resistance. It is so hard that it is difficult to pierce ordinary swords with throwing spears.

The weapons they carry are enchanted melee weapons that are also magic equipment. They have a dazzling array of magical effects such as enemy-breaking, armor-breaking, sharp, electric shock, poison, freezing cold, blazing flames, etc.

Although it only has a +1 bonus, in the alchemy system, it is also a serious magic equipment, worth hundreds of gold coins.

This makes them very powerful in close combat.

At the same time, Roland's eyes fell on everyone's waist, where they wore exquisite copper card boxes.

That is a real spell-casting prop, the Siris Magic Card!

These warriors are specially selected high-end talents who know how to cast spells with props (for a low-magic world), and are fed by consuming a lot of cards.

Among the decks carried, communication ("Communication"), attack ("Fireball"), blasting ("Detonating Talisman"), reconnaissance ("Arcane Eye"), strategic maneuvering ("Invisibility", "Thousand Mile Horse", "Acceleration") and so on.

With such a small box, the number of spells it can cast is several times the upper limit that can be achieved by spell scrolls and other items, and its functions are complete enough. Even if it encounters a low-level mage's army, it can win.

As for the secret transformation during this period, no effect can be seen for the time being, but relying on this, the functions of these equipment and props will surely be more perfectly utilized.

Roland didn't say anything more and motioned for Rosa to speak.

Rosa, who was wearing a long robe and a crown, said seriously: "My loyal knights, it is up to you to kill the rebel king and restore the country.

According to the new system, those with outstanding merits can be promoted to nobility and become marquises and prime ministers.

When I ascended the throne, I said that I would like to share the world with those who have meritorious service. This is absolutely true. I hope you can live up to your high expectations, completely defeat those rebels, and restore peace to Reiner. "

"Don't worry, Her Majesty the Queen, we are now the most luxurious elites we have ever seen, and we will definitely be able to complete the mission!"

Wilma said confidently.

"promise!"

All the warriors agreed in unison, and their sound was overwhelming.

"Must win, must win, must win!"

Their emotions were so full and exciting that the keen Roland even vaguely felt that a resonance across the universe was attached to everyone.

At this moment, they seemed to be possessed by the old Qin people, blessed by the halo of Siris!
Well...except there are a few people.
