Witch Alchemist

#424 - Harpy

“Those people are all related by blood, with various connections.

Sufficient trust and the habit of exchanging resources make them stronger and stronger.

Plus, they often band together against enemies…

They are indeed not easy to mess with!”

Hearing Roy's words, Tinas showed a bit of lingering fear on her face, obviously having suffered a lot from these people.

After that, Tinas briefly told them her request, which was to assist her "Heroic Bloodline Legion" in defense.

She also had an army of several thousand centaurs under her command, deployed around Oleg City.

Tinas briefly explained the situation to Donny, asking him to cooperate in deploying her followers.

Then she said to Roy: "I'll give you the remaining 8 harpies, and you can strengthen and modify them.

I heard from my teacher that you have miniaturized magic light cannons?

If they can be used on harpies, they should be good offensive weapons."

“No problem, leave it to me!”

Roy nodded.

……

After that, Roy temporarily stayed where Tinas was.

Before actually starting the enhancement, he first used the magical quill to copy the information Tinas gave him, and also asked for some books to read.

He had only heard of the name of this kind of magical creature before, but had never actually seen it.

Only then did he realize that due to their special bloodline, harpies were born as powerful warriors, and after adulthood, they often possessed the strength of a Great Knight.

A few elites and heroes can even reach level one or even level two or higher.

In addition, the particularity of aerial units naturally gives them an advantage over ground units!

This kind of thing sounds beautiful at first, but in reality, it is not a good thing for most civilians.

Because the difference in strength between the two is too great, even if the harpies do not want to kill people, driven by instinct, they will still be irritable and greedy, and relentlessly squeeze them.

They will bring some special herbs and mix them with magic beast meat to feed the captured human men, and within a few days, they must meet the reproductive needs of dozens of mature individuals in a tribe.

Ordinary people's physical strength and power are not enough, and they may also be torn apart by irritable harpies, and then look for the next victim.

However, occasionally some strong adventurers invent a special way to play, that is, pretending to be weak and helpless travelers, wandering around the places where harpies live, and then being caught by them.

The wonderful seven-day and seven-night adventure begins here.

When you go back, you may also be able to bring those herbs as gifts.

“The taste of harpies is very good!”

——《Travels of Greyleth》, so commented a strong man who did not want to be named.

“It's just that they always like to feed people raw meat, which is not good, very bad!

One day, I will teach harpies to make fire to roast meat, and no longer drink blood!”

—— Casper the Wizard, author of "Civilization and Barbarism, Ancient Bloodline Yearbook", made a grand wish.

“I collected 235 harpy feathers!”

—— Wizard Fudillo of "Travels of Fudillo" said.

“The seniors really know how to play!”

To this, Roy could only comment.

However, after a series of fierce operations, very few can truly improve their bloodlines.

The harpies under Tinas are wind-attribute specialized elemental types, possessing the "Wind Blade Technique" innate spell.

This is equivalent to a 0~1 ring evocation spell, with a limited multiplier, ranging from 100% to 400%.

Moreover, the harpies themselves have limited mental power. In the magic warrior system that combines magic and martial arts, they should be more inclined to the warrior type.

Therefore, in most cases, they swoop down from a high place to launch close combat attacks.

They have low civilization, only hunting experience, and are not good at high-level tactics, but things like alchemy bombs are easy to throw and can be used as weapons.

But in that case, the weight affects flight, which becomes a problem again.

Aether stones are relatively expensive, and the cost of configuring storage space is more than 10,000 magic stones each. It also takes a lot of time and energy to train them to the point where they can use mental power to guide them freely.

After understanding these situations, Roy had a clear idea in his mind.

In general, the enhancement and modification for them must take into account many things.

Ease of use, portability, cost value, and actual combat performance, etc.

All need to be considered comprehensively.

……

“Roy, are you busy?”

Three days later, in the cave where they were temporarily hiding.

Tinas walked in with some materials in her hand, but when she turned her head, she saw Roy holding a black and gray object in his hand, gesturing towards her harpy, Baruli.

“What is this thing?”

Tinas showed a bit of astonishment on her face.

“This is a portable individual weapon mounting platform specially built for your harpy.”

“What, it's obviously just an iron bra!”

Donny walked in with two followers, and a word pierced Roy's casual nonsense.

“Haha!”

Roy chuckled dryly, that's true!

Despite the hype, it is essentially a metal-woven iron bra.

However, this kind of thing is not just an iron bra, it contains some special metal creations, and even the more precious streamer silver that he refined.

Various wizardry materials are added to the body, showing aerial reconnaissance and target locking methods similar to radar.

In simple terms, it is a wizard version of fire control radar, which can intervene in mental control by stimulating a weak current and guide remote attacks for hit correction.

Especially in high-speed movement, the calculation of lead offset often determines the effect of throwing or launching.

After that, Roy helped the harpy tie the small magic light cannon to the top of her head.

The magic light cannon itself cannot be fixed, so there is also a "mounting platform".

This looks like a "portable camera", with the camera tied to the head, integrated with the helmet.

By means of short-range communication, it is connected to the iron bra to realize automated fire control radar.

“Okay, Baruli, try it!”

After teaching the other party to wear this equipment, Roy issued an order.

Baruli is like a primitive person, and speaks the common language very poorly, so she silently walked to the side to practice throwing and archery.

As a result, with a few soft sounds, she almost hit all of them at short distances.

The hit rate has also greatly improved at longer distances.

After that, activating the small magic light cannon, you can see a red and white high-energy beam being stimulated, and the expanding elemental power exploded with a bang, blasting out a few feet of sparks and directly burning the target.

After that, the energy particles of the fire element did not immediately dissipate, but burned like kerosene in place, and only dissipated after a while.
