The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 147 Suriel's Chanting Method
……

Seeing Rhaegar coming out of the room and Zeller working on the desk next to him, Matthew told the information about the Wither Cult, and also introduced Eli's situation by the way.

Rega heard the words and showed an expression of someone who had come here:
"Oh, infatuated boy, this matter is really difficult."

"I've seen that white cat. To be honest, she's not bad-looking, and she has an indescribable charm about her."

"My suggestion is to find a more aggressive alternative to the kid named Eli. If he has a stronger taste, why not try Purgatory's hairless cats? They are more attractive and explicit."

Matthew looked at Rhaegar strangely:

"Do you even understand the aesthetics of cats?"

Zeller interjected:
"Regar's ex-wife has the blood of purgatory hairless cats."

Rhaegar immediately retorted:
"Not my ex-wife, I haven't divorced her yet!"

"And it's not completely hairless, either."

Zeller shrugged:

"you're right."

Matthew looked at Rhaegar suspiciously, always thinking that asking this guy to come up with ideas would only be a mess.

So he told everyone about his plan.

"I plan to eradicate the Wither Cult completely. After that, I will resolve the emotional dispute between Eli and the little white cat."

"Lorraine, can you delay leaving for a few days? I need you to keep an eye on them for me, and take care of the woods for me by the way."

Matthew looked at Lorraine.

The latter nodded, and then showed an emotional expression:

"Matthew, you are obviously only in your twenties, why do you look like an old father?
But then again, Eli is really lucky to have met you.

If I had had a reliable friend like you when I was young, I might not have gone astray. "

Matthew is completely immune to the top hat he puts on himself:
"Your evil path refers to demigod plus legend?"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Lorraine said with a playful smile:

"Can you intercede with Eckmond for me, and ask him to remove the alliance's arrest warrant for me."

Rhaegar was taken aback:
"Are you a wanted criminal of the Seven Saints Alliance?"

Lorraine admitted:
"More than ten years ago, when I made a mistake, I committed a crime.

The main reason was that I accidentally offended a senior mage who seemed to be a relative of Eckmonde, so I accidentally got on the alliance's wanted file and became a scammer.

Fortunately, it has been a long time and the amount is not large. Now almost no one remembers this matter.

But this thing still bothers me because I can't use my identity aboveboard.

It is a pity for me to act under a pseudonym every time. "

Matthew pondered:
"How much money did you cheat?"

Lorraine recalled:
"Not much, twenty to thirty thousand?"

Matthew is a bit strange:
"The amount of [-] to [-] won't be included in the wanted file, right?"

Lorraine sighed and said:
"It's not about money, it's about people."

Matthew responded quickly:

"You lied to his family?"

Lorraine coughed:
"His daughter is indeed a victim."

"In the beginning, I just met her by chance, playing casually. She told me that she would not cause me any trouble, but a few days later, she changed her mind and dragged her father to the door to force me to marry her."

"I forgot to leave the bracelet she gave me when I ran away, and I was accused of being a fraudster."

The office hall suddenly fell silent.

Matthew also stopped asking for details.

He thought for a moment and replied:

"I can't guarantee that Lord Ekmond will give me this face. The relationship between me and him is actually very shallow, but I will try."

Lorraine made a loving gesture:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Eli for you. During the few days you're away, I promise he won't lose his virginity."

Matthew was relieved upon hearing this.

With two legends, Lorraine and Richard, and Ekmond's doppelganger, there should be no security risks in Rolling Stone Town and Oak Forest in the short term.

He looked at the other two:
"Is the matter in the south completely resolved?"

Zeller replied as he wrote the document:

"Last night, Hongtu Mountain sent an urgent letter, and their lord issued a statement of non-aggression to us.

To show their sincerity, the Hongtushan army even withdrew to the south of the Yuema River. They emptied nearly one-third of the golden fertile field. We can eat it or use it as a buffer zone. "

Matthew nodded:

"Kusulus' reaction is really quick."

Zeller also said with emotion:

"This is the power of the Seven Saints Alliance. You don't need to use a knife or a gun to scare off an ambitious dragon!"

"However, we are also busy. After the news spreads, it is expected that many residents of Golden Fertile Field will go to Rolling Stone Town, including some small nobles or soldiers who are trying to take revenge on Hongtu Mountain. We must handle it carefully. These people cannot be allowed to have an impact on the existing order of Rolling Stone Town."

Rega also sighed and said:
"Yeah, I'm busy now."

Matthew and Zeller squinted at him at the same time.

The latter silently raised the Union Weekly and covered his face.

"Mrs. Wesley, have a cup of coffee!"

He yelled nonchalantly.

Zeller suddenly said:

"Matthew, you are going to deal with the Wither Cult by yourself. I am still a little worried. Take Rhaegar with you. Anyway, he has nothing to do."

Rhaegar immediately put down the newspaper and protested:
"What does it mean to be idle and have nothing to do?"

"As the lord of Rolling Stone Town, am I not the most important backbone?"

"Without me, this territory would have been disbanded long ago!"

Zeller just looked at him:
"are you going?"

"You can choose to go decently on your own initiative, or you can choose to go less decently after being persuaded by me."

"I remember that Asma and Brin are about to come out from behind the door, right? If there is time, I will let them pick you up then."

Rhaegar glared at Matthew, then said weakly:
"Okay, okay, I'll just go with Matthew."

"I don't need to pack my luggage, I can go now!"

Matthew raised his hand to stop him:
"Wait, we can't start yet."

Instead, Rhaegar hurriedly urged:
"It's not too late."

Matthew looked at the sky outside:

"Let's go in the afternoon, I still have classes in the morning."

Rhaegar's expression suddenly became a little disappointed.

At this time Zeller suddenly said quietly:
"Speaking of which, about that guy named Eli, do you need me to find him a succubus?"

Facing Matthew's surprised look.

Zeller explained:
"I heard that it is difficult for a man who has experienced the ravages of a succubus to fall in love with a woman of another race. Of course, I just heard that."

"Or can we try something else?"

"How about finding him another type of hobby?"

"Like, plant a tree?"

Lorraine shook his head:

"It won't work. He is a born infatuated seed. He likes to weave illusory traps for himself and then fall into them."

"It's not so much that the women lied to him, it's better to say that he likes to lie to himself."

Rhaegar couldn't help but put down the newspaper and suggested:
"Do you want him to see the true face of the woman?"

"Find a bad woman to teach him?"

Zeller said angrily:
"Are you afraid that he is not deep enough?"

Lorraine felt that this plan was feasible.

The three of you talked to each other and started a heated discussion.

Gradually, the atmosphere of heated discussions in the office hall gave Matthew the illusion that he was in the neighborhood committee.

……

Crucible House.

Margaret wore a cow pattern home dress today.

She looked listless.

But during class, Margaret's voice was still sonorous:
"Today is the third theory class, which is mainly about confrontation with frontal spellcasting.

What is the most important link in the face-to-face confrontation?
It's chant!
We all know that the casting time of spells of level 1 to 2 is about 2 to 4 seconds;
The chanting time of the 3rd to 4th level spells is extended to 3~8 seconds;
Level 5 spells generally take 6-10 seconds;
Legendary spells are longer, usually half a minute or 1 minute.

Although there are various abilities to assist spellcasting: singing speed, silent spell casting, instant spell casting... But these skills are difficult to use on spells of the same level.

Assuming you are a legend, of course you can instantly cast spells below the fifth level, but it is difficult for you to do legendary spells.

By the way, bullying is not part of our curriculum.

I will only teach you to face opponents of the same level or even higher in various situations.

Therefore, under the same level of head-on confrontation.

Singing is an almost inevitable link.

In this session, I need to emphasize three pieces of content to you, namely "Spell Knowledge", "Spell Capability" and "Suriel Chanting". "

Brush brush!
The feather note in Matthew's hand flew up.

Margaret took a sip of water and explained one by one:
""Spell Awareness" is the most useful ability, it is essentially a spell.

It can help you determine what spell the enemy is singing, at least what field of spell, through the first few syllables of the enemy's singing.

Knowing what spells the enemy is using allows us to better respond.

He's suffocating a fireball, so we'll give him an Evocation Spell Reversal;
He is summoning celestial creatures, and we are ready to "expel alien creatures" in advance;
He is building an illusion, we can directly hang up the high-level gem of truth and watch the clown.

In short, spell awareness is the basic skill of confrontation. "

Matthew couldn't help but nodded.

This is an ability he lacks.

His eyesight is good, and his hearing is not bad, but due to lack of training and solid knowledge of magic, it is difficult for him to predict the enemy's spells.

Usually only after the other party has finished casting, Matthew reacts belatedly.

In this regard, the system actually only plays an auxiliary role. It can only give the information that Matthew perceives in a data-based and intuitive manner, and rarely skips Matthew's perception to do more.

This is actually a very dangerous signal!
Margaret did not give Matthew a chance to think deeply.

She gushed:

"The second point is "magic ability".

As the name suggests, this process is to solidify your frequently used combat spells into your own abilities.

Spells need to be chanted, but abilities do not. This is the meaning of spell empowerment.

At present, there are dozens of ways to transform spells in the alliance.

But I personally only recommend two.

First, find a high-level mage and let him help you solidify the target spell on you. This is the easiest and easiest way. You can just lie down. The only thing you need to pay is the interpersonal relationship;

Second, train hard, use the spell every day, and cooperate with the corresponding potion. Usually, after 2-3 training cycles, you will be able to initially turn a common spell into your own ability.

Each training period ranges from 14 to 21 days.

This method is very hard, but it is the most down-to-earth way.

Spells like "Spell Counter", "Spell Knowledge", "Spell Reversal", "Bronze Skin and Iron Bones", "Bull Power", "Dash", etc. are very suitable for ability-based spells.

By the way, I can reveal to you——

I have over 40 empowered spells on me. "

Matthew heard the words and exclaimed:
"You really worked hard!"

Margaret glanced at him:
"Do not."

"Only 1/4 of this is obtained by my own hard training, and the rest is spent to find legendary or quasi-legendary mages to help me solidify."

"They're the root cause of my ass in debt."

Speaking of it.

She sighed sadly:
"It goes back to our first lesson."

"What is the most important thing about a mage?"

"Money! Money! Still fucking money!"

Margaret looked resentful.

It seems that her financing plan has not been going well recently.

Matthew obediently bowed his head and listened.

Fortunately, she quickly entered the state of explaining again:
"The third piece of content is the focus of today's class, and it is also the best singing technique I think so far. It comes from my teacher, Ms. Suriel.

After in-depth exchanges with the giant dragons, Ms. Suriel extracted part of the essence from the dragon language magic and incorporated it into the chanting of human magic.

The advantage of this singing method is that the sentences are read clearly, the cadence is set, and the speed and rhythm of singing can be controlled by oneself, so as to control the injection and outflow of magic elements.

It's a bit abstract to say so, let me show you the comparison. "

talking.

Three figures appeared in front of Matthew.

They are all chanting the classic spell of fireball.

Margaret tapped lightly.

The three of them spoke separately. Three different styles of singing, but at full volume, sounded in Matthew's ears.

According to Margaret.

The first person is a wild mage who has not been trained by the alliance, and he uses the most common singing method.

After listening to it once, Matthew did not sing very well, a bit like a third-rate rapper rapping.

The second person is a mage apprentice from a professional class. He uses the "mechanical singing method" that the alliance is currently vigorously promoting.

The characteristic of this singing method is that it has no characteristics.

The monks chanted scriptures throughout the process without any emotional ups and downs, which was somewhat similar to electronic synthesized sounds.

The advantage of the mechanical singing method is that the specifications are uniform and the threshold is very low. After forming a habit, it will be much faster to learn new spells.

It is commonly used to train mage apprentices.

The third image is of Margaret herself.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Matthew was startled——

At first it was a few sopranos alone, but soon fell down again.

Between the paragraphs, there is a clear distinction, sometimes like gurgling water, sometimes like stormy waves.

A small fireball spell, 18 syllables in total, 3 seconds long.

Matthew actually heard the feeling of an opera!

"You can see the changes in the magic elements around my body when I'm singing."

Margaret shows a slice diagram of the flow of magical elements.

"Suriel's chanting method can actively control the progress of the spell, control the flow of magic power and elements, and then make a spell cast with more powerful power.

But if that's all it is, I wouldn't recommend it to you either.

Its biggest advantage is that it can achieve self-interruption and more advanced skills: "spell grafting" through the "screaming sound". "

talking.

She showed Matthew another scene of herself casting another spell.

"Attention, here I am chanting the standard fifth-level spell "Gate of Different Degrees" at the beginning. This spell takes a long time. Even with the help of spellcasting, it still takes a full 13 seconds to complete the chanting.

But here in the middle, listen—"

Margarita played the phantom chant as she spoke.

In order to avoid Matthew not being able to hear it, she also specially set the speed to 0.3 times.

Matthew listened intently, and indeed heard a slightly abrupt scream in the other party's singing.

And with that syllable.

All the magical elements in her fell backwards.

This means that this spell was actively interrupted by her during the 1/2 of the chanting!
Followed by.

A more bizarre scene appeared.

After the howling sound, Margaret's chanting actually continued, and soon after 8 seconds, she completed the spell.

It's just the "Gate of Different Degrees" that summons alien creatures from a large scale by magic.

It has become the "Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart" that summons a large number of arrows to physically pierce and throw blows to the target area.

Matthew shivered.

If her opponent uses "Spell Awareness" at this time and judges that she is using the Gate of Different Degrees, then there is a high probability that the opponent's response will be overwhelming!
Margaret looked at Matthew seriously:

"Smart you should realize how powerful this singing method is right now?
Not to mention that this chanting method brings spell amplification effects.

"Screaming Forte" allows you to interrupt the spell at any time when the singing progress does not exceed 2/3;

And "Spell Grafting" can secretly and conditionally replace it with another spell.

Mastered the Suriel Chanting Method.

You have the absolute opportunity to master the head-to-head confrontation of mages!
just now.

Come sing with me.

Ah~~~! "

Matthew opened his mouth subconsciously:

"Ah~~!"

"No, look at my mouth shape!"

Margaret corrected:
"Also pay attention to my chest, use Suriel chant method, you must master abdominal breathing."

"Come on, open your mouth with me—"

"Ah~~~!"

Matthew followed her with his head up and his chest in:
"Ah~~~!"

Margaret pointed seriously:
"Yes, and neither."

"That's right now."

"No, no, no."

"Half right."

soon.

In the magic classroom, only the sound of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sounded one after another.
