Mage Joan

Since the unpleasant meeting with Heller, Adams, and Miranda, Qiao An has lost interest in the truth and false news advertised on the radio and in the newspapers, and is too lazy to pay attention to social disturbances outside the study.

The smallpox and massacre in the Vimur Valley, the tragedy of Uncle Logan, the tribal riots and the financial crisis, coupled with the various words and deeds of certain people-precisely his respected friends and elders-for political purposes, made him disappointed. , Almost destroyed all his beautiful imagination of the human social order, and a world-weary mood quietly grew in his heart.

In order to suppress these negative emotions and fill the emptiness in his heart, in the following days, Qiao An shut himself in the "ivory tower" of the campus, turning a blind eye to things outside the window, focusing on learning and magic.

Since Qiao An came into contact with magic, the first spell he mastered was "Mage's Hand", and later learned "Strike Palm", "Nether Palm" and "Thunder Palm", as well as the "Poisonous High-five" he invented. It is a strengthened version based on the "Hands of the Mage".

Now Qiao An has mastered nearly 40 6th-level spells, but unfortunately, he has not found a practical 6th-level "Mage ×× Palm" in the university library or the ancient books of Yunzhong City.

It is not impossible to continue to use the 5th ring "Master Thunder Palm", but for patients with "obsessive-compulsive disorder" like him, it is hard to let go.

Taking advantage of the rare free time now, Qiao An spent half a month of painstaking research and successfully developed a follow-up version that satisfies him, and named it "Mage's Split Palm".

The 6th-level "Mage Splitting Palm" inherits the basic configuration of this series of spells. The casting time and distance are the same as the previous low-level version. The force field created is similar to the size of the caster, with an additional 12 points of power attribute.

In addition to these conventional elements, Joan also added more flexible tactical actions to this original spell.

In the previous low-ring version, the force field created by the big hand was slightly awkward. There were only three tactical actions: "boxing", "palm push" and "grasping". No matter which attack mode was adopted, it could only cause "bludgeoning". hurt.

The biggest advantage of the "Split Empty Palm" is that it is very flexible. It is almost no different from Qiao An's own palm. In the experiment, he can even manipulate the giant palm to easily achieve precise movements such as "threading and threading", while in the previous low-loop version , This is an impossible task.

In addition, the attacking methods of "Split Empty Palm" have become more diverse. In addition to "boxing", "palm push" and "grip", you can also complete "stabbing", "hand knife", "finger", and "kneading". ", "disarm", "stripping", "smearing", "drawing", "writing" and so on more complex and sophisticated operations.

When Qiao'an's remote-controlled giant palm acts as a "hand knife", the outer edge of the palm can be compressed as thin as a blade according to his mind, and he swings out, cutting iron like mud, like a huge "saber knife."

And when Qiao An controls the giant fist, sticks out the index and middle fingers close together, and launches a stab attack, the fingertips can also follow his mind to become sharp as cones, punching through the steel armor, in this mode, The "Cracked Palm" is like a sharp spear.

The "Cracking Palm", which has three attack modes: "bludgeon", "cutting" and "piercing", is equivalent to a magic weapon with three forms and force field attributes. It can break all types of damage reduction armor. It can kill "incorporeal" and "spiritual" creatures without hindrance.

During the research and development of "Splitting Palm", the biggest problem Qiao An encountered was to match this spell with proper casting materials.

"Mage XX Palm" series of spells all need to be matched with a casting material closely related to its characteristics.

For example, "Nether Palm" calls negative energy and has the function of "Ghost Hand" to conduct contact spells, so it needs to be matched with a "Black Agate".

The characteristic of "Poison Clap" is to conduct toxins, of course, it must be matched with capsules that encapsulate poison.

"Thunder Palm" broke out loudly after hitting the target, accompanied by a sonic attack, matched with a "Thunderstone" can be said to be logical.

In the same way, Qiao An wants to realize the design requirement of "Splitting Palm" to switch attack modes at will, he must match it with a hard, light, smooth and malleable spellcasting material.

The four basic modes of "Cracking Palm", fists like hammers, palms like shields, hands like knives, and fingers like spears, are all simulating common weapons. Weapons are usually made of metal. Good is also a metal.

Combining all the above requirements, Qiao An could only find one suitable material, which is "Mithril".

Mithril is a well-known rare metal, which sells for up to 1,000 jindujia per pound (approximately 454 grams).

Qiao An found through a lot of tests that every time he casts "Split Empty Palm", the consumption of Mithril must not be less than 1 ounce (116 pounds, or about 28.35 grams), otherwise the spell would not meet the design targets.

1 ounce of Mithril, the market price is almost 63 Jin Dujia, used as a one-time spelling material, can be described as "burning money" in the literal sense.

In the past, Qiao An may still feel distressed, but now he is a "back wave" with a net worth of 3 million jindouga, and the interest on bank deposits alone has a net income of no less than 400 jindouga every day, a mere mere 1 An ounce of Mithril is so silly that you can burn money without blinking.

The quiet days passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye it came to September 1, 1624, the night when the Prime Minister of the Empire, Earl Mueller, stepped down sadly. Qiao Ann completed his routine meditation homework, achieved another breakthrough in his practice, and was promoted to a level 12 mage.

After experiencing the freshness of the spiritual probe's exploration in the deep space of the sixth magic net, Qiao An restrained the excitement and turned on "Inner Vision" to check his body changes after upgrading.
