Chapter 641 Aphasia

Joan scratched his head inexplicably, and asked Hailar: "So you still have to go?"

"There are still some trivial matters in the relatives' house that I need to help with. The next few days may be very busy. I will try my best to find time to come and visit you. If I really can't come, I will meet you after school starts."

Hailaer sat on the edge of the bed and put on his boots, got up and walked towards Joan, as if hesitating to give him a goodbye hug, after all, he was a little embarrassed, shook his hand and went downstairs.

Joan followed behind Hailaer with a candlestick in her hand, helped her illuminate the creaking wooden stairs that were in disrepair, and escorted her out the door, got into a taxi, waved goodbye before returning to the second floor.

Holden had just washed his hair, and walked out of the bathroom with wet, messy hair. When he saw Joan alone in the living room, an ambiguous smile appeared on his lips.

"Sister Cai Mi is sleeping in your room tonight?"

"Her relatives have something to do at home, so they have to rush back to help."

"Hey! What's the rush when you just came back? Girls are thin-skinned, why don't you keep them?"

"Is this necessary?" Joan felt that he was making a fuss over a molehill.

Holden patted his forehead, with a helpless expression on his face: "Your boy is really simple... Forget it, I'd better keep my mind off my business, lest good intentions turn out to be bad."

Qiao An didn't quite understand his intentions, and after thinking about it, it wasn't an important matter anyway, so he didn't bother to think about it.

...

Two teenagers of the same age live under the same roof and get along quite well, but this does not mean that they are like-minded.

Just like Joan and Holden, they can't find anything in common in terms of personality or interests.

Ever since she rented the apartment near the university, Joan hardly ever went out, and devoted herself to studying spells from morning to night. Occasionally, when she felt tired, she would go downstairs to feed the landlord's cat.

Playing with cats is Joan's newly discovered stress-reducing trick. The effect is surprisingly good, but the reason is unknown.

Holden's rhythm of life is completely out of step with Joanne's. He is nocturnal like a bat, often sleeps until noon before getting up to eat, comes back when the night is quiet, and sometimes stays out all night.

If you ask him what he is busy with, the answer is nothing more than attending various salon gatherings in the literary and art circles, either going to art exhibitions or listening to operas.

Joan thinks he lacks artistic talent. Whenever Holden invites him to participate in cultural activities, he always refuses. First, he doesn't want to delay his studies, and second, he really can't appreciate it.

But he fully supports Holden to participate in such activities more often. After all, artists need such an atmosphere and environment to open their horizons, inspire sparks of inspiration, and create excellent works.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of January, and it had been almost two weeks since Joan came to Midgard.

During these days, he spent most of his energy on one thing—creating a spell as a "stepping stone" to apply for the Midgard University Academy of Arcane Law.

As early as in Freeport, Joan started to develop new spells under Hailar's suggestion. The idea was to use a mature spell as a prototype, modify its spell configuration, and derive a spell with brand new functions.

In order to achieve this goal, the first thing Joan has to do is to determine the spell as the "prototype", and the follow-up work is nothing more than adding, deleting and repairing on the basis of the prototype.

After layers of screening, Joan finally decided to use "Blindness and Deafness" as the prototype spell.

He copied this Necronomicon Level 2 spell from the spell book of "Mad Mage" Felger. After the spell is successfully cast, it can inject "negative energy" into the body of a designated organism hundreds of feet away, destroying its physiological functions. If your body is not strong enough to resist the erosion of negative energy, you will lose your hearing forever or become blind - the specific sensory damage will be determined by the caster.

When Joan first started learning "Blindness and Deafness", she had a doubt.

Since this spell can make the subject lose hearing or vision, why not add an option to make the subject dumb at the beginning of the design?

Did the inventors of the spell slip through the cracks, or think sight and hearing were more important than vocal abilities?

This question has troubled Joan for a long time. It was not until he dissected the configuration of the "Blindness and Deafness Art" in detail that he suddenly realized that the problem was much more complicated than he imagined.

The inventor of the "blindness and deafness technique" didn't want to expand the "dumbness" effect, but simply couldn't do it!

People in the world often equate blindness, deafness and dumbness with three common disabilities, but in fact, this classification method is unreasonable.

"Blindness" is a problem with the organ that receives visual signals (usually the eye), and "deafness" is a problem with the organ that receives sound waves (usually the ear). These two diseases can be grouped together.

But "dumb" is different.

As a vocal organ, the "vocal cords" do not passively receive external signals like the eyes and ears, but actively transmit sound wave signals to the outside world through tremors.

"Active" and "passive" correspond to two different spell configurations, so a spell can be compatible with "blindness" and "deafness", but it is difficult to be compatible with "dumbness". If you have to accommodate this alternative effect If you come in, you have to pay a price - a higher upper limit of magic power, a higher level of spells.

"Blindness and deafness" is already an extremely optimized level 2 spell. Without raising the level of the spell, there is simply no way to squeeze out enough magic power to be compatible with the "muting" effect.

After full preparation, Qiao An established his own research and development topic, and named this new envisioned spell "Aphasia". The "dumb".

Compared with "blindness and deafness", "aphasia" seems to be very tasteless.

In actual combat, turning a powerful enemy into blind or deaf can effectively weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness, but what's the point of turning a person into a "dumb" who can't speak?

Indeed, shutting up a strong warrior will not prevent him from swinging his sword to kill, but Joan did not regard such characters as his imaginary enemies at all.

He painstakingly invented the "aphasia technique", which is mainly used to target the caster!

Especially arcane spellcasters such as "Mage" and "Warlock", usually have weaker physique and weaker resistance to "Aphasia". Once hit by this spell, they cannot sing spells unless the opponent is good at "Spell Otherwise, it would be equivalent to being completely abolished the ability to cast spells.

If his research and development plan can be realized, Qiao An believes that "aphasia" can play a role in "forbidden magic" in actual combat, and this spell will be more practical than the "blindness and deafness" of the same level.
