Chapter 6 Conti Powhatan

Qiao An put down the teacup. At first, she didn't feel anything special. After a few seconds, she felt warm and comfortable in her stomach. This wonderful warm current quickly spread throughout her body, as if she had just taken a hot bath, dispelling her exhaustion and refreshing her spirits.

"It seems to be really useful." Joan put down the teacup, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Looking at the "Tears of God" in his hand, he found that this artifact gem seemed to be a little darker than before. This is not surprising, making the potion requires the energy stored in the gemstone. There were originally 10 energy levels, but now there are only 9, so it is slightly dim. Fortunately, "Tears of God" will automatically restore one energy level every day, so there is no need to worry about energy depletion.

Joan didn't want to waste this cup of precious potion, opened the book with the afterglow of the setting sun coming in from the window, and soon immersed in the ocean of knowledge, completely forgetting the trivial things outside of him.

The magic in the world of Vales can be roughly divided into 11 levels. Excluding the rare legendary spells in the world, the rest are regular spells from level 0 to level 9.

Which level a spell should belong to is usually determined by the upper limit of the magic power it can call. In addition, it is also necessary to consider whether the target of the spell is a single target or a group. The level of spells that can affect multiple targets at the same time is often higher.

According to the above two standards, if the highest magic power level that an arcane spell can invoke is 5 degrees (the magic power level unit), then it can be regarded as a level 1 arcane spell no matter whether its scope of action is a single body or a group. The maximum magic power of the 2nd-level arcane spell effective for a single target is 10 degrees, and the maximum magic power of the 2nd-level arcane spell effective for a group is 5 degrees; the upper limit of the 3rd-level arcane spell is 10 degrees for a single target, and 10 degrees for a group... and so on, The upper limit of 8-level arcane magic is 25 degrees for a single body, and 20 degrees for a group. The upper limit of magic power that can be invoked for a 9-level arcane spell is 25 degrees, regardless of whether it acts on a single body or a group. If it exceeds this category, it is a legendary spell.

As for ring 0 spells, usually the upper limit of magic power that can be called will not exceed 1 degree. The energy level of the "frozen ray" can't even reach the upper limit of the 0 ring, only 0.5 degrees.

How powerful is the 0.5 degree magic power?

To put it simply, a "Frozen Ray" hits the target, and the lethality caused by Joan hitting a brick on the same target with all his strength is similar.

Of course, this does not mean that Joan would rather practice hard and make bricks than spend time researching "Frozen Rays". Although this spell is weaker in its lethality, the advantage is that it has a special "freezing" effect. Its use is not limited to killing enemies. Bricks can at most stun people, but they cannot instantly cool a cup of boiling water.

Just as Qiao An'an was concentrating on studying spells, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"What's the matter!" His train of thought was interrupted, and Joan's words were inevitably filled with anger.

"Excuse me, is it convenient for me to say a few words?" The girl's crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Inconvenient." Joan's answer was frank and almost cruel.

There was no movement outside the door.

I don't know how long it took, Qiao An finally solved the problem that he just encountered, relaxed his nerves a little, and suddenly remembered that someone knocked on the door just now. Looking back, there seemed to be eyes flashing across the crack of the door.

Joan frowned, got up and opened the door, and it turned out to be the Asa girl he picked up halfway, trying to slip away on tiptoe.

"Don't go yet." Joan called to stop her, "What's the matter?"

"Are you free to talk to me now?" The girl smiled, and when she noticed that Joan was frowning impatiently, she hurriedly said, "I want to know what this place is and why I'm here! "

Joan scratched her hair, feeling restless at the thought of having to say a lot. He returned to the house in silence, picked up a pen and quickly wrote on the paper.

The girl stood outside the open door, her black and clear eyes were full of confusion, and she was hesitating whether to enter the house or not. Joan had already used the simplest and most refined words to describe "what is this place" and "why did she come here?" After answering these two questions, he turned back to the door and handed her the scrap of paper with the answers written on it.

The Asa girl took the note at a loss, read it quickly, and a dazed expression appeared on her delicate face.

Qiao An secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she was literate and saved herself a lot of trouble.

"Thank you for saving me." According to the traditional etiquette of the Asa tribe, the girl crossed her hands on her chest and bowed deeply to Joan. It is to be written on paper, isn’t it troublesome to write so many words?”

"For me, it's just the opposite," Joan explained to her patiently, "I'm not very good at speaking, and it takes too much time to explain a complicated thing clearly in words."

Joan is not lacking in language skills. If he is allowed to talk to himself, he can tell a complicated story vividly, but it is another matter if other people are present. Maybe it’s because of his personality, he hates social activities extremely, and even somewhat hates social activities. Every time he is forced to chat with people, he would like to cut off his tongue. He would rather be born dumb, so that people will understand his silence, and It was not out of kindness that he pulled him to say some meaningless polite words.

If you have to talk to people, and the environment allows writing, Joan is happy to use written words instead of language communication—as it is now.

The Asa girl didn't understand his eccentricity, so she gave a half-understandable oh, and looked at him with flickering eyes, revealing a curious look.

"Is there anything else?" Joan held the doorknob.

"There's nothing else," the girl rushed to say, seeing that Joan was trying to chase her away, "My name is Candy——Konti Powhatan."

Joan nodded, indicating that he heard it.

Kandy is not stupid, of course it can be seen that the indifferent young man opposite doesn't care what her name is, he just hopes that she will disappear quickly so that he can read a book quietly by himself. She had never seen such a weird person in her life, and she barely kept a smile on her face and asked, "What's your name, please?"

"Joan Vida."

"'Joanne'? Sounds like a girl's name." Conti whispered.

Joan was not surprised by her reaction. The name "Joan" was given to him by his grandfather in memory of his deceased mother, Joann Thiel. Joan didn't care about this, just as he didn't care about Kandy's last name, nor did he care about how others called him. The name is just a code name for him, he would rather not have his name mentioned by others, and not be disturbed by anyone or anything in his peaceful life. There is no place for social activities in his world, and almost all his time and energy are devoted to the study of magic, except for magic, everything else is unimportant.

"Joan, do you live alone?" Candy asked curiously.

"And my grandfather, Guillaume Tell, who lives in the wooden house at the back."

"May I go and see Mr. Thiel?

"as you like."

"I'll go now, see you later."

Seeing that Joan was becoming more and more impatient to chat with her, Kandy waved his hand wittily, then turned and walked to the wooden house on the other side of the hill, bouncing around like a lively deer.

...

Qiao An closed the door, took a long breath, and returned to her ideal life state - without asking for help or being disturbed by others.

It took less than five seconds for Joan to completely put Kandy's figure out of his mind, and concentrate all his attention on continuing to study the 0-ring trick "Frozen Ray".

The magic in the world of Vales, whether it is the magic of the clergy or the arcane of the mage, is composed of two basic units: "spell slot" and "spell configuration".

"Spell slot" is the energy source of magic, just like the surging river water that drives a waterwheel, the howling wind that drives a windmill, and the hot air that drives a steam engine. This energy itself has no attributes, and the caster can transform it into ice, fire, thunder, etc Energy with specific element attributes can also be used to drive non-lethal spells such as "invisibility", "transformation", and "flying". The specific application varies with different spell configurations.

Just as the energy that people use to drive waterwheels, windmills, and steam engines is not produced by the human body itself, but comes from nature, the magical energy of "spell bits" usually cannot be synthesized in living organisms, but comes from all corners of the universe. Extracted from the "magic net".

The so-called "spellcaster" refers to those who can link to the magic net and obtain spell slots from it.
