Out of the cage

Chapter 1441 Chapter 29.15 Free from Order

In the royal capital, strict order is maintained. Strict order divides the upper level into multiple distinct areas.

In the quiet magic tower area, mages are meditating and pursuing the path of knowledge.

In the military camp area, soldiers trained amidst the sound of flags and drums, and devoutly abided by the knight's creed.

It is worth mentioning that, whether in the circle of mages or warriors, the leaders are all nobles. These nobles are strict in their respective training circles, but they will go out of the circle regularly to participate in the social activities necessary for nobles.

In this stable system, nobles who control the exchange of information in multiple circles control "military" and "political".

For example, the king's princes and the descendants of nobles entered the warrior camp to live abiding by the creed, practiced together, and ate warrior food such as bread, water, and barbecue. For the same training of strength, princesses and noble ladies enter the magic academy to learn the arcane system. At a specific time every month, the two parties will gather in the palace, resume their identities as princes and princesses, have cordial conversations by candlelight, and exchange information in their respective circles.

Eyuan: At present, the living habits of the aristocratic court are not divorced from reality, so there is currently no alternative to this feudal system.

Under this religious belief, all powerful groups abide by the creed. As long as Eryuan doesn't go beyond the rules, he looks quite cool.

Eryuan came to the military camp on time every day and gave instructions to his team leaders about today's training.

Eryuan doesn't talk about faith either. The only way to talk about faith is to have barbecue skewers after a day of training.

Mr. Wei also prepares carbonated malt water to share when eating together.

At the same time, as a mage, Eryuan has never stopped communicating with the Magic Association. He interacts with these aristocratic mages at regular times and at fixed points every week to obtain relevant magic resources.

Compared with the "intellectualized" magic resources in the academic exchanges between Kalda's mages, the kingdom's mages have many weird "material" resources, such as phase gems for preparing water elements, and dwarven crafts. Smelted armor-breaking rune steel

Eryuan has shown extraordinary ability to create "magic items" within the circle of the Kingdom's mages.

Master Wei's craftsmanship is comparable to that of elves, but his methods are much wilder than those of elves, and he can often produce things that do not conform to the aesthetics of the order camp.

In the past hundred years, the human kingdom has not only been fighting against the orcs, but also at war with the sea race Nagas on the eastern front.

Human mages discovered that the Naga fishman wizards often had some scales, bone spurs and other carvings in their hands.

These objects, such as scales, release internal stress when they are compressed and bent. The "phase" stored in the scales will be released in the form of ignition along the scale lines. This is the "magic release" of the Naga fishman (System: "This is the phase excitation within the bone of the creature.")

However, the magic energy in the bones of the Naga tribe is not stable, and most human magicians cannot control it.

Nagas have different elemental perceptions than humans. System: Naga has better control over the phase transformation process in this "fishbone".

The mages of the human conservative system commented on Naga's bone artifacts that their magic power was very violent and could only be sealed as evil objects.

System: The human mage camp lacks the motivation to analyze and research, so it has not developed the skills to use this kind of biophase materials. In short, it lacks intelligent variables.

Eryuan, who introduced systematic system science, purchased these Naga fish bone items and processed them.

Eryuan: Objectively speaking, these scales and bone organs are characterized by irregular shapes and uneven distribution of internal "high phase states", which makes it difficult to control during excitation.

Eryuan's solution is to simply manually etch area blocks one by one, so that the phase release process of these bone vessels proceeds along these etched blocks, so that they are released more evenly.

The effect of the engraving makes the etched area block look like an oracle bone inscription. It seems crooked, but it is in line with a kind of balance.

Moreover, Eryuan used electric carving techniques to pre-burn lines on these Naga "skeleton" props that are helpful for phase release. Well, it's similar to leaving carvings on the wood in advance, and the breaking position can be reserved on the carvings.

At the same time, Eryuan also inserted specially processed obsidian "stone needles" into these water-based "skeleton props". These mana-inert stone needles, like the inert control rods of elemental reactors, can control the process of magic release.

Through these skillful operations of Eryuan, the Naga elemental magic weapon, which was originally difficult to control the magic power, has become a mana source stone that allows the mage to replenish "magic power" stably.

Karal's orthodox mana source stone is carved from high-grade magic crystal. It can increase the magic power recovery speed by 25% after being carried. It can increase 300 points of magic power once activated and used (system calculation: one standard magic power (0.34 kWh) market price fluctuates between 400 and 500 gold coins.

As for the "Mana Source Stone" processed from Naga scales and bone tools like Eryuan, depending on the shape and size, it can increase the recovery speed by about 3% to 20%, and once Sexual stimulation is about 20 to 230 magic points, so Eryuan priced it between 30 gold coins and 350 gold coins.

This gadget that assists in increasing magic power is very popular in the market.

Many low-level mages saw that Eryuan earned a lot of gold coins by making such "simple" magic items, and wanted to try making them themselves. But they obviously underestimated the difficulty of this set of craftsmanship, as practice does not make perfect.

Master Wei relies on his "element affinity" (system: phase perception sensitivity) that he has been training continuously since birth, and the system prompts to "dexterously" process these magic items.

After many attempts by the Kingdom's mage circles to imitate and create failed, the trend of "new mana source stones" quickly faded away.

The noble mages of these kingdoms seemed to "understand" after learning that Er Yuan came from the circle of mages in Kalar.

In the eyes of the noble mages of the kingdom, Karar is a "technical circle". Mages born in this academy must of course meet the technical threshold to create magic items.

This kind of misunderstanding of ignorance is similar to that in the early 20th century, when a group of elders and aunties saw that a young man's major was computers and thought that he must be able to repair computers.

Some shrewd mages in the kingdom took advantage of the fact that Eyuan was still in the capital and could still exert the value of these Naga items, and quickly sold the sealed "bone" materials in their hands to Eyuan, making a small profit. made a fortune.

Eyuan also observed the mages of these royal capitals. Compared to the scholar mages of Karar, they were pragmatists and called themselves "battle mages."

It must be mentioned here that the common habit of the mages in Kalar is that they do not personally participate in the battle, and always leave their own safety to magic puppets, confident that the puppets they create can prevent soldiers from getting close.

The magicians of the kingdom are more eager for power and status, casting spells behind the infantry array to let the knights protect their safety.

However, compared to the orthodox mages of Kalar who are thirsty for knowledge, the eyes of the kingdom's mages obviously have more "tact".

Eyuan clearly felt that these mages in the royal capital were more "combatant", which was influenced by the aristocratic culture in the royal capital.

…the dividing line of military rest and recuperation…

Two months later, the soldiers brought to the capital by Eryuan had finished their daily training and began to leisurely compete in the sling accuracy game.

This was a sign that the soldiers had finished dressing up. At this time, Eryuan had also sorted out all the props he wanted.

General Anlexi in the royal capital began to order troops, and Eryuan and his 24-person combat team happened to be on the list.

Eryuan's identity was a "loyal" vassal soldier sent to the kingdom by the lord of Lunos. Now that the kingdom was at war, the soldiers supplied by the lower lords were naturally used to "fill the line."

In Anlexi's military camp, ten infantry teams, two teams of knights, and sixty-five mages had gathered at this time, with a total number of thirteen hundred people.

Since mages can "mass reduce" the baggage to reduce the weight of the ordnance, transporting the baggage is not as complicated as in the main world, and only requires 15 "magic suspension vehicles" to load it.

In the kingdom's camp, Eryuan is a mage, but at this time he is dressed more like a ranger, so he looks a little weird.

While the elite infantry were lining up, Eryuan went to the nobles to inquire about the marching information.

The first wave of information that Eryuan obtained from the mage circle: This war is to fight the Nagas on the Eastern Front again. …

Information about Naga. This group of snakemen are mostly good at long-range attacks. The arrows they shoot are made of shark teeth, which are very sharp and have armor-breaking properties.

In Naga's magic system, one of the signature spells is the sea element. These green water masses mixed with seaweed are made by continuously inhaling and then compressing the air. The internal air bags are compressed enough, and then the trapped stones are ejected.

The magic structure of sea element and water element is the same, but the casting medium is different.

The human mage's spellcasting element relies on salt crystals to control the water body to turn into liquid life like T1000, while Naga's sea element uses algae to achieve the same effect.

Having learned the previous lesson, Eryuan did not reveal his unique "dazzling light technique" at this time. Prevent yourself from being too "easy to use" and being discovered by your boss to use it to your death. ——Young people who have passed the period of enthusiasm for work will become sluggards in a few years.

Having had the thrilling experience of "a sword master using the Wind Step to emerge from a transparent space, pulling out a machete and slashing at himself", Mr. Wei also reflected, "Why does the sword master not slash others, but only himself." "

Eryuan: "That's because I was young and impatient. My health bar was too thin and I couldn't resist. Now I won't use taunting skills anymore."

Now, when Eryuan waited for the supreme commander to ask, Eyuan solemnly emphasized to General Anlexi: "I am a mage."

Eryuan had already set a standard for the general in his mind: if the caster allows the enemy to send agile warriors to chase and attack him, it would be the commander's fault.

Generally speaking, taking advantage of others is because they are not trusted.

Eryuan, who realizes that he has several abilities, said: The Kingdom still hasn’t shown the “due fighting attitude” toward me, so I don’t need to stick to it...

Eryuan is now a civilian mage observing at the middle and lower levels, and he is not sure whether his commander is an earl or a marquis.

Eryuan: Is this “not flexible enough”? No, no, no, this means "the big shots don't want civilian mages to know too much and challenge their authority."

Eyuan was staying in the mage's camp. The general's tent was brightly lit. Eyuan didn't know the specific route and location of the march.

But after walking south the next day and the route changed, Eryuan realized that this time the enemy was not Naga.

Next, we followed General Anlexi towards the southern territory. When approaching a marquis territory in the kingdom, the team discovered a large flow of refugees.

At Eyuan's signal, the team leader took the scones and went to exchange information with some of these refugees who seemed to be able to read and write.

Through several waves of refugees with different local accents, the team learned that orcs had invaded the town. They burned, killed, looted, and ate people. They put human corpses on the fire and turned them into barbecue. Obviously, these civilians were frightened. Valid information needs to be filtered.

The enemy was an orc again, not the Naga as originally expected, which made Mr. Wei very depressed.

Master Eryuan really didn't want to have any bad relationship with the orcs, but he happened to bump into them again.

After another half-day of march, the high-level mages in the camp used mirror projection spells to investigate and found an orc team in a nearby small village. The orcs actually roasted human legs on the fire.

However, Eryuan turned his head and saw his fellow mages, who were wearing magic props modified from bone crafts of the Naga tribe. He suddenly thought that they had also chewed "fish meat" (Naga tribe) in the south, and was suddenly speechless. Word.

The enemy "temporarily" transformed into an orc, and there was a small ripple in the team. But the generals and nobles leading the team seemed to have been prepared.

Anlexi ordered a squad of knights to drive away the orcs in the village, and at the same time he led a large force to a nearby garrison. Call the mages to find the stone square and urgently deploy the teleportation circle. Let some magic supplies fly over.

As for the fleeing residents on the road, the army will escort them to Hader Town.

Eryuan raised his head and looked at the town he was going to. There were six winding streets between a large number of housing buildings. In the center of the town, three-meter-high blue bricks and stones form the city hall covering an area of ​​30 acres. …

Three to four thousand people gathered in the entire human town because of the disaster, and the viscount here could hardly contain the chaos.

But with the arrival of the royal army fully armored. The situation stabilized. The mages of the Royal Army opened a teleportation array in the center of the town and transported the food. The original men were organized, the blacksmith shop was running smoothly, and began to replenish arrows and projectiles.

Eryuan rushed to the smelting plant, modified the blower for the blacksmiths here, and built a heat storage system with stones.

At the same time, Eryuan also painted the furnaces with a flame control talisman system to increase the efficiency of these smelting furnaces.

Master Wei didn't help in vain, but he wanted to give priority to the most advantageous iron materials to make a cold weapon for himself as a "mage".

After the most careful phase adjustment of the furnace, when the third furnace of molten iron came out, Mr. Wei selected the iron material with the most saturated middle thermal phase and brought it to his furnace and started folding and forging. Every time it is folded and forged, Eryuan is infiltrated with mithril, fine gold and other elements exchanged from the kingdom's wizards to ensure that the structure has clear layers and higher strength. He planned to build a "gun head with sufficient armor-piercing capabilities."

On the other side, Eyuan brought a piece of wood, which Eyuan carefully selected from the village. The raw material was a pole that had been used for decades.

Although the farmers in this village did not know the goods, they still found strong wood to make farm tools. The texture of this wood is very good. According to earth standards, it is of the golden nanmu level. But Mr. Wei could tell that the material of this stick was a rare magic material, possibly the core of a tree of life. Then it was treated as nothing special and used to make poles for farmers.

As the previous owner of this pole, the villager didn't find anything special. He just thought it was a short stick that could help him hoe the ground faster.

After Eryuan entered the city, he took a look at this thing and picked up a big leak.

When Eryuan was injected with the phase of wind, the stick's mass almost disappeared, but its strength was still very strong, just like the extremely light but substantial existence of a "wind blade".

Eryuan carefully attached a 1.5-meter-long special iron pipe painted with runes to the short stick, and installed the gun head.

This modified new weapon can turn into a 30-centimeter double blade like a hairtail fish unfolding its fins. It can also suddenly form a sharp edge in front, or it can appear on both sides.

This means that there will be no blade where Eryuan is holding it, and the blade will pop out of the stick body that he is not holding.

After Eryuan injected magic power, he found that the phase transition between metal and wood was very smooth, and he couldn't wait to try it.

Eryuan swung the one-meter-eight-meter-long sharp blade and suddenly discovered that it could pull out an afterimage, and the green edge flickered like the vibrating wings of a butterfly. And by attaching his mental power to the stick, he could even block at will.

In view of the fact that Eryuan's life growth has now begun again, his muscle strength attribute has begun to increase to seventeen, and there is tendon meat hidden under the loose mage robe. Although it is not as exaggerated as the knights, it is not as painful as a year ago when I drew the bow twenty times.

I got a new weapon, so naturally I wanted to play with it.

After completing a spear, Eryuan suddenly swung it towards the stone wall ten feet away in front of him. The sword turned into a green light, and the blades on both sides of the sword body transformed into missile wings. The wind-type runes on the wing surface boosted it, making it move as fast as a line after being released.

There was a loud "collapse", and the long blade penetrated the city wall for a full foot. The tail trembled slightly, not because it could not penetrate deeper, but because it could send and receive freely. Following the pulling of a magic line at the tail of the gun, the long blade returned to Eyuan's hand. , obediently put away his sharp edge and turned back into a short stick.

Since this thing can stab four or five times a second, and the blades on both sides flex like butterfly wings when attacking, Eryuan said, "This thing is called a butterfly."

Under the strange gaze of the blacksmith, Eryuan put on his new weapon and explained: "As a mage, I have a unique staff with a slight melee capability. This is not too much."

Eryuan thought to himself: "I can't repeat the same chase and escape scenario every time I bump into the sword master. Rabbits will bite when they are anxious."

While Eryuan was mixing in the blacksmith shop to synthesize his first epic weapon, General Anlexi and his military student, the heir to the Kingdom's Mangrove Duke, were discussing the situation and inspecting the surrounding area.

At this time, in the entire team, General Anlexi regarded as the main force the more than a hundred followers he brought with him. These were all well-trained warriors who cooperated with each other tacitly.

As for other military teams, including the local noble support corps where Eyuan is located, they are regarded as second-rate by the generals.

As the knight captain, the Duke's son easily defeated the orcs raging in the surrounding towns and brought news that this orc clan seemed to be something the human kingdom had never seen before.

Half an hour ago, the prince of the Duke happened to run into an orc shaman when he went out to search. The prince launched an attack on the spot. After being seriously injured, the shaman saw that there was no hope of escape. He chanted a spell to activate the thunder power hedge and blew himself up. . The Duke's Crown Prince, who had suffered a small loss, could only report back with this news.

Anlehi said: "The soldiers in the camp are still training and will not be able to form combat effectiveness in the short term."

But when he said this, he looked into the distance. At this time, under the city wall, the ranger mage was leading a group of half-grown children outside the camp, doing something like planting rice seedlings.

The prince saw the teacher looking outside the town and asked, "Which one is it?"

Anlexi: "An interesting mage."

…Eryuan in the military camp is functioning all the time. …

Before evening, Eryuan inspected the entire camp. Rows of hay poles were inserted on the ground along the outer perimeter of the camp. Thin lines were tied between the straw poles. These were undetectable lines, and they were so confusing. Hanging on the road outside. Narrator: This is how the roadside bombs of the 21st generation were hung.

In this case, if someone sneaks in and gets caught on the thin wire, the straw will break and a "clicking sound" will be made.

Eryuan: This is a reference to the case of soldiers hanging empty cans on barbed wire during World War II.

System comments: This was only after being chased by Gale Steps several times before I was willing to use my brain.

As for anti-hiding, Eryuan actually has more reliable magic methods, such as sealing the eyes of animals in jars, hanging them on a pole, and inserting them into the high ground for surveillance. This is since the last time the orc shaman hurriedly evacuated. , figured out from the information left behind.

Of course, since the "Magic Eye" requires the eyeballs of animals (it can also be humans, orcs, or intelligent species like Naga), it looks quite bloody. Eryuan learned that in the royal capital's aristocratic culture, it would not be as easy to accept as Lunos, and it would cause rejection.

Eyuan: The magic props of the orcs are very crude. Some are prepared with the help of biological organs, and some are runes carved with evil smoke. The "conservative" nobles in the capital cannot see these things that "go against the Holy Light." I'd better not show off these things. When I'm saving time, I'll use it and despise it at the same time.

…Medics are the most lovable on the battlefield. …

Therefore, there is another thing like the orcs that Eryuan thinks can be brought out publicly on the battlefield next, and that is the "healing guard".

The Healing Guard looks like a "small incense-burning stove." As the incense inside burns, the stove can release a healing field.

After Eryuan deciphered the proportion of spices, he activated his mental power to carve the interior. This kind of carving was to ensure that the "release of phase state" process would be more convenient for mental control. At the same time, the producer wanted to ensure stable burning and not be blown by the wind. To destroy it, you still need to put on a shell.

As for what the shell looks like, it all depends on the style. The orc one is a wooden cover with carved eye sockets and mouth (see pumpkin head).

Oh, this is also the shape of the healing guards in many goblin shops. When burning, the airflow enters the cover and leaves a vent, forming a flute-like sound.

Eyuan: "What is the purpose of the sound emitted by the healing guard?"

After repeated research, Eryuan initially thought that this was to remind the orcs on the battlefield of the distance and direction from the healing guards behind them, and to tacitly protect the healing guards. It was later discovered that the sound was a ballad, and the person who knew the ballad was a war song that the orcs usually sang. So they conducted an experiment and found that after the "whistle" tune of the healing guard on the battlefield sounded, the orcs would conditionedly reflect the melody in their minds. Rhythm, so that the spirit passively links the healing guard phase release, which can form a spiritual connection, which allows the healing guard to distinguish between friend and foe during treatment.

Eryuan lamented: "If the traditions of a cultural group can be passed down without change, they must have been preserved after "trial and error."

After understanding the principle, Eryuan calculated the combustion efficiency and how much shielding was needed, and redesigned a cover.

Is this the shape - a lantern with square holes of plum blossoms? Eyuan: Tsk, tsk, this is in line with my aesthetics.

Narrator: This kind of aesthetic is very crude. According to the style of the leadership consciousness of the inner universe, after understanding the theory, you can completely design the appearance into a "phoenix" or "dragon-shaped" existence, and then package yourself as the "Lord of the Phoenix" "Names like "Dragon Prince". Tukang just doesn't pay attention to his name, just like most unrecorded and unknown promoters in history.

...Back to the present, Eyuan "finished planting rice" outside the camp, and His Excellency the Crown Prince found him. …

In the camp, Eyuan and the Crown Prince had a good conversation, but the soldiers under Eyuan's command and the knight next to the Crown Prince glanced at each other.

This is the relationship between the country bumpkins under Eyuan's command in the royal capital and these knights of the royal capital.

The royal capital was originally trained by knights who ate plain water bread (barbecued meat was automatically forgotten by the knights), but these soldiers from the countryside (soldiers brought by Eryuan) poisoned it late at night with "depraved dishes".

The knights of the Imperial City, who hated this tempting smell, once had a fight with the soldiers of Eryuan.

To the enemy, since Eryuan's troops were defeated, the loser was embarrassed to say so.

When Yi Eryuan came back from the magic academy that day, he saw the soldiers with "bruised noses and swollen faces" and didn't know what was going on.
