Arcane Linguist

Chapter 406: Teaching and learning, Roland’s electromagnetic gun!

It is helpless to say that after so many years of development in the magic world, not many people have really devoted themselves to research in these fields. As a result, they are still the same as "Lightning Beam", "Lightning Shock", "Electric Claw", Spells such as "Chain Lightning", "Sphere Thunder", and "Lightning Storm".

Energy shaping spells such as "Spherical Thunder" involve magical technologies of energy shaping and air guidance, which is an area that even science in the previous life has not yet reached.

There are also "electric field shields", and only technical routes such as plasma shields are barely relevant...

Even in the previous life, these were science fiction-level high-tech technologies.

But some basic electromagnetic applications, telegraphy, etc.

On the contrary, it is very limited.

The thunder and lightning created by the mage using magic seems to be different from the electricity of Blue Star in the previous life.

Electromagnetic transformation cannot be easily performed.

There is no distinction between who is better and who is worse, but two nearly parallel routes, each embarking on a different path of development.

Roland's advantage over the magicians in this world is that he has more knowledge about other routes.

This is not helpful for basic research.

However, those at higher levels and above play a crucial role in leading the development of the times and promoting the advancement of arcane arts at the macro level.

"Finally, I found something valuable, and I can set up a topic and explore it."

When it comes to arcana and the development of Siris magic, Roland is very happy.

Faun was also filled with joy and a sense of enlightenment.

"The yin and yang meaning of the Seris rune?"

He knew something about it.

“It seems that there is a real possibility of application in this field.

I'm now looking for a further solution.

Moreover, with my elemental affinity and magic perception, maybe I can..."

As for the others, they were stunned.

Just a few words cleared up the fog and pointed the way.

The Great Magister is indeed a Great Magister!

……

"Oh, the research direction of electromagnetic guns?"

Soon, Master Ogut also learned about this.

"Your Excellency Roland is the Archmage of Atrein, and his judgment is beyond doubt.

However, the study of electromagnetism...

It seems that the magic world has already concluded that it is too useless.

There have been people like him who have mentioned the problem of property conversion, but they have never been able to solve many of the problems.

The two characters yin and yang in the Seris rune?

Well, let me think about it..."

The master soon fell into deep thought.

In the Magic Academy, the mages were also discussing endlessly.

Most of their views are the same as Master Ogut's.

For this reason, the accompanying reporters in the mission proudly published relevant news.

"The great mage of our country, Mr. Roland, leads the trend of Xinweila magic research"

This kind of thing that promotes our country's prestige naturally arouses a burst of praise in the magic network.

……

A few days later, inside the Magic Academy.

Roland stood in the yard, his soul weapon appearing.

The extraordinary characteristics of the Book of Wisdom, "Written to convey the Tao", began to condense the two words "Yin" and "Yang".

This kind of high-end law-like runes had long been picked by him from the Tao Fruit on the Sacred Tree and integrated into himself.

After careful adjustments over the past few days, he has constructed a simple yet effective electromagnetic conversion model and electromagnetic coil.

Thanks to the nine years of compulsory education in his previous life as Blue Star and the popular science knowledge on the Internet, although he was born in a liberal arts major, he somewhat knew some of the basic principles of electromagnetic guns.

When he condensed the mana, the source of magic surged, and his hands crossed left and right.

A burst of lightning danced.

Roland raised his two palms forward, then tilted them, with thumb to thumb, index finger to index finger, and other fingers also straightened, to create an equilateral triangle "muzzle".

Drawn by the thunder, a gold coin floated in it and was guided to the target in the distance.

Not far away, Fan stood watching.

He specially cast a auxiliary spell, "Elemental Vision".

With the help of this spell, he saw the thunder elements condensing on Roland's body.

From between his tiger's mouth, extending forward.

A long tubular "barrel" condensed.

This invisible thing made of magical power has a spiral magnetic coil structure, with smaller density in the two sections and greater density in the center.

Electricity pulses in it, brewing invisible power.

As Roland stimulates the magic power, and then cuts off the output when the "cannonball" reaches the center, the gold coins pushed by the electromagnetism are pushed out with amazing inertia.

In an instant, it penetrated the target and was embedded in the wall.

"It's really astonishingly powerful, it's comparable to a dwarf musket!"

Next to him, an accompanying warrior from the mission praised him sincerely.

“Dwarf musket?

I heard people say that dwarves are a race good at forging and inventing.

Although they have no magical talent, they use dwarven technology and alchemy to make up for their lack of magical power to a certain extent.

The gun you just mentioned is an alchemical weapon that uses gunpowder made from special minerals to push the warhead and deal physical damage? "

Roland asked with a smile.

He has actually seen dwarves, but he is not interested in those demi-human creatures that are not beautiful.

As a strong man with high-level power, he doesn't think much of guns and the like that can only deal with low-level creatures.

According to his understanding, that kind of weapon only reached the level of the breech-loading gun era. Under the influence of physical rules and magical power, the limitations were too great.

"Yes, it's that kind of weapon."

said the mission attaché.

"Dwarves are a subhuman race who like forging and wine. If this electromagnetic gun can really be invented, they may be interested and have the most motivation to transform it into an alchemical weapon."

"Oh?"

Roland silently recorded this incident.

This involves the promotion and application of Siris' magic.

Turning his mind back to the results of the test just now, Roland confirmed that the blow just now was between level 1 and level 3 magic.

That move just now took too long to boot, and its performance indicators were completely defeated by the "Magic Missile" in all aspects. It was basically not practical yet.

Roland said with a slight regret: "If this type of spell wants to pass the practical test of combat spells, it must at least develop 'quick' and 'silent' super magic skills, and then shorten the guidance time, speed up the filling speed, and The initial speed of discharge.

In addition, the barrel of the gun condensed by magic power is a bit too long. Is it possible to consider using space folding to change the spatial structure of the magnetic field?

This not only optimizes the casting posture to facilitate one-handed use, but also effectively extends the pipe and increases the power.

Fawn, what do you think? "

Talking to himself until the end, he asked about this student who was called a genius by Sinvilla.

Fawn has long been impressed by Roland's unbridled ideas.

These common ideas that any Blue Star person in the past life knows, in this world, are the inspiration to attack jade with stones from other mountains.

In the history of magic development, 1% inspiration is far more important than 99% sweat.

"Your Excellency, maybe you are right." Faen had obviously worked hard before and was immediately inspired.

"I'm a little tired. It's up to you to test these ideas."

Roland gained a lot of training resources and knowledge access through the soul memory obtained by Golden Finger and his special talents. He pretended to be a genius for many years.

Like the pig on the wind, it flew directly into the sky.

Now, after more than 20 years, I have already made the fakes come true, and I have reached the level of a real great mage.

But he won't go into battle himself at any time.

He threw the question to Fawn, and by the way, he tested the young genius of Sinvela.

As expected, Fine did not disappoint him. He quickly proposed several very feasible plans and put them into practice.

After a moment, he held the gold coin in the tiger's mouth with one palm, and instantly burst out with magic power, and also knocked out the gold coin.

"Very good, it has begun to have some practicality...

In the middle, maybe you can add the spell "Power Word: Disease"!

Exit speed...

You can also improve it this way! "

Roland made another suggestion.

He is a mage of the Rune School, and he continues to guide the development of this magic from his own professional field.

……

A few more days later.

Roland came to another city in Sinvela, preparing to visit the nearby magic crystal mine and processing plant.

Accompanying me are the students from the special class.

From now on, Roland has fulfilled his duties as a teacher, conducted a thorough study of these people's studies, and then arranged the direction of their efforts by teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

This kind of elite training is unlikely to be carried out only in the classroom like ordinary mage towers.

Therefore, Roland simply followed the example of Confucius, a famous ancient teacher, and took his students with him to exchange questions and answers from time to time.

He is not ready to leave Sinvila yet. Of course, everyone can stay at the Magic Academy to study and take them away when he returns.

But this was an opportunity to contact the Archmage, and no one wanted to do that.

So, I just followed them all.

At this time, Roland discovered an interesting pattern.

"I have long heard that the magic in the world of Xinweila is famous for summoning and evocation magic. Among them, those who are from powerful backgrounds are mostly good at the former, while commoner mages are mostly good at the latter.

The reason is that if you want to sign a good contract, or even use the power of external objects such as fantasy beasts, you must have real resources.

This is essentially a kind of magic capitalism! "

Since his teacher is the summoner of the space department, Roland still knows something about the knowledge of Master Ovisto Tower.

When teaching these people, he also showed no timidity.

But to be honest, it was really tiring for him to teach these people.

I had to throw them some related runes and see if they could figure out some ways on their own.

Suddenly, Roland noticed that there seemed to be a commotion somewhere ahead.

Roland cast a level 3 "Eagle Eye" on himself, and the power of magic helped him see clearly what was happening below.

"Is that...a demon invasion?"

"Sir Roland, I'm very sorry, there is a small group of demons ahead.

The plane war has become more and more intense recently. The Abyss Legion has found a void wormhole suitable for invasion near our city, and sends troops to harass from time to time..."

The person in charge here rushed up sweating profusely and explained in a low voice.

"Please wait a moment while we deal with these demons."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a low-level demon team of about a hundred people."

Roland waved his hand and didn't pay much attention.

"Teacher, the purpose of these demons seems to be to interfere with mining workers."

"Demons are chaotic and evil creatures. They do not have this kind of mind. There should be a devil strategist behind it."

Will and several others discussed it, intending to express his opinions on military strategy.

Roland smiled faintly: "To describe their relationship, you can use a Seris idiom to explain it. Does anyone know what it is?"

Will's eyes lit up and he answered quickly: "I know, it's a conspiracy!"

Very good, correct, plus one point!

Roland nodded in approval.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the commotion ahead became even worse.

A demon the size of a buffalo with huge fleshy wings seemed to break out of the defense line and rush toward nearby residences at an astonishing high speed.

The person in charge was shocked: "No, that's the staff dormitory area over there!"

Roland suddenly stretched out his right arm and aimed at the opponent with his thumb up and index finger straight, like a "gun".

"That is……"

Fa En in the crowd was slightly moved.

He noticed at a glance that a bright yellow gold coin was floating out of thin air in front of his index finger.

As Roland's magic power surged, an astonishing momentum struck in all directions, and terrifying electric energy flashed away.

Everyone watched in amazement as the gold coin ejected at an astonishing speed, at least ten times the speed of sound!

A cloud of blood mist exploded in the air, and those with extraordinary eyesight discovered that it was the demon's head that had been penetrated.

The demon that looks like a giant bat is a third-level mutated monster. Coupled with the ability to fly at high speed, it is not easy for intermediate knights to deal with it.

But Roland's sudden bomb caught the opponent off guard in his advantageous area.

The monster didn't notice that there was a group of people looking at it. It flew straight, and its movement path was completely calculated by the mage's superb intelligence.

So Roland easily hit it and killed it directly.

This wave of operations shocked everyone.

"Here, there must be at least a thousand meters between us!"

"Killed in a few tenths of a second!"

"The casting distance and power of this spell are really terrifying!"

People with higher levels of magic are more surprised by this.

"Most of the evocation attack spells cannot reach this far, and their killing efficiency is far inferior."

Fireball is a long-range spell, up to 400 feet + 40 feet per level;

Magic missile is a medium-range spell, up to 100 feet + 10 feet per caster level;

(Note: 0.3048 feet/meter, the feet here are actually feet. After all, the DND rule book is written in English)

These data mean that the attack distance of an ordinary mage is about 30 to 120 meters, and that of a high-level mage is about 75 to 300 meters.

"It seems that this trick has some practicality!"

Roland watched his prey fall, with a slight smile on his lips.

Youdao means teaching and learning...

Sometimes, the fastest way to learn and understand something is to teach others.

While he was teaching these people, wasn't he also improving his own magical knowledge?

Now, he has mastered this "electromagnetic gun" technique.

Tentatively classified as a level 5 elemental spell, physical attack type.

Spell Components: Words, Gesture, Materials

Casting Time: One standard action

Distance: Super long range (3000 feet + 300 feet/level)

Spellcasting supplies…

1 gold coins!
