Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 725 New Mantra
The knowledge their king told her at this time completely refreshed Zhuang Mengdie's original knowledge, but what followed was more questions.

Zhou Xu definitely couldn't give an answer to this one by one.

This is just like he can't explain why one plus one equals two. There is a lot of knowledge in it that, for a modern person like Zhou Xu, is close to common sense and cannot be explained at all.

If you try to explain, there will most likely be countless reasons why.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu used the simplest and crudest way to deal with it.

That is, you don’t need to figure it out, you just need to know that there is such a thing.

After arranging these matters and having some appropriate discussions and research with Zhuang Mengdie, Zhou Xu got up and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, preparing to take the time to test the mantras he had obtained.

This matter has been delayed for a lot of time, and now he finally took some time.

He placed the test location outside the city in the direction of Huangsha City, twenty miles west of the city. While ensuring that he would not encounter enemies, he also avoided running into the rushing team. It was just convenient for Zhou Xu to study the mantra here. .

Out of caution, Zhou Xu asked his elf knights to spread out and patrol the perimeter to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in and being accidentally injured.

Standing in the open space, Zhou Xu sorted out his thoughts for a while.

[The 'Lightning Attack' mantra seems to consume a lot of money. If the mantra is used up after a few tests, wouldn't it be impossible to do other tests? 】

Zhou Xu ran out specifically this time, not just to shoot a few lightning bolts and then go back.

At the same time, the mantra of lightning attack actually requires very little testing. It is nothing more than testing the attack distance and power. The effect itself is already very straightforward and clear.

In this way, taking this into consideration, Zhou Xu thought he could first test the mantra combinations that he had figured out after acquiring a large number of mantra characters, which should be quite feasible.

Not to mention that he also found a mantra phrase that seemed to be quite effective, blessing!
The two mantra characters "jia" and "support" are very compatible with each other. When put together, they can directly form the mantra phrase "blessing".

To a certain extent, Zhou Xu actually had this mantra phrase already.

That is the 'basic weapon blessing' borrowed from the silver steel swords of the elf knights.

It's just that he only has the authority to use this mantra combination, but not to dismantle it.

And now, he finally has his own 'blessing'.

It is probably because the real ownership of the 'blessing' mantra in 'Basic Weapon Blessing' does not belong to him. Therefore, the two 'blessings' are not merged together and remain distinct in Zhou Xu's spiritual sea. status.

During this period, while Zhou Xu pulled out the crystal iron sword from his waist, Hilke had fixed the iron ingot he brought out on the wooden stake.

This is an iron ingot prepared in advance considering that the wooden pile may be cut off at once and the result cannot be measured.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xu struck down with his sword, and the sharp blade left a visible cut mark on the iron ingot.

After that, Zhou Xu was seen reciting the mantra.

[Attack blessing. 】

In an instant, the invisible force was drawn by the mantra and blessed the crystal iron sword in his hand. In a vague way, it seemed that the entire blade became more sharp.

Holding the handle of the knife tightly, Zhou Xu adjusted his position slightly. With the same angle and the same strength, he swung the knife down again, adding another knife mark on the iron ingot!
After two cuts, Zhou Xu stepped forward and compared the two cuts. Although it was not particularly obvious, it could still be seen that after obtaining the 'attack blessing', the cut was deeper.

Zhou Xu looked happy after getting this result.

Not only because he successfully formed an effective mantra combination, but also because if the 'attack blessing' is effective, then the mantra he wants to test next will definitely be successful! 【Speed ​​blessing! 】

The effect of 'speed blessing' is much more obvious than that of 'attack blessing'. In a simple swing of the sword, Zhou Xu can relatively clearly feel the increase in the speed of the sword swing.

Having studied mantras for several years, I can now basically figure out the reasons.

To put it bluntly, 'speed' has a clearer directionality, so the bonus is high, but the range of 'attack' is too large.

Seriously, does increasing the speed of a weapon also count as increasing attack speed?
Therefore, 'attack blessing' is actually a disguised form of comprehensive blessing, blessing many aspects, but the bonus is not so obvious.

Of course, these are not the point.

Whether it's 'Attack Blessing' or 'Speed ​​Blessing', for Zhou Xu, it's just a warm-up. What he really wants to try is the latter move.

Taking a deep breath, the mysterious mantra came out of Zhou Xu's mouth.

【Lightning blessing! 】

At that moment, the flowing electric light suddenly started beating on the crystal iron sword.

"Haha! It's done!"

There was no time to think too much, so he grasped the crystal iron sword that was beating with electric light. Zhou Xu swung the knife down, and in an instant, electric light splashed everywhere!
After one strike, the lightning on the crystal iron sword dissipated.

[Only one hit? 】

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhou Xu's eyes quickly fell on the slash marks left by his 'Lightning Slash'.

Judging from the depth of the beheading marks alone, there is not much difference from the previous beheading marks.

This shows that 'Lightning Blessing' does not provide him with any physical damage, but magic damage!

I saw that at this moment, with the slash mark as the center, the iron ingots were directly electrocuted black.

At the same time, because iron is conductive, a piece of the wooden stake used to fix the iron ingot was scorched by electricity.

Imagine that if this knife could be cut directly on a person, even if it didn't hit the vital point, the electric current would spread all over the body instantly, and a normal person would be disabled even if he didn't die.

Of course, this cannot be too beautiful.

At least just now, the shortcoming has been exposed, that is, the lightning blessed on the blade will be poured out in the next attack. With one blessing, you can only launch one 'Lightning Slash'.

In addition, this 'lightning blessing' does not mean that it will always exist as long as it does not attack.

Just now, Zhou Xu conducted a test and did not launch any attacks after performing the 'Lightning Blessing' on the Crystal Iron Saber. As a result, only three seconds passed before all the lightning on it dissipated.

And during these three seconds, the lightning on the blade continued to decline.

In other words, the power is the strongest when it is first added, and the power decreases every second for the next three seconds.

This undoubtedly further limits the performance of this move and reduces the blessing of this move.
