Chapter 184 Mental Barrier Generator and Fragmented Spell Structure Imprint
This suggests that the new wizard must possess some unique skills.
And if we capture him, we can extract this unique skill from him!
"There's a tavern nearby. How about we go inside and talk?" Wizard Grell used his mental power to draw an arrow, pointing to a tavern located on the inner ring.
Inside the tavern, the lights were bright, and all sorts of sounds came from within.
It was a place for young nobles who had fled to war, or for their offspring to relax.
More than a dozen knights sat around the tavern as guards, and the stewards of the various nobles also stood guard inside the tavern to prevent the hot-blooded young noble sons from getting into conflicts and causing any trouble.
"It's definitely better to have a hot soup in the tavern than to be out in the cold wind." Wizard Fallon also shook his mental power.
Being too close to unfamiliar wizards is not a good thing—it indicates a lack of trust between them.
Another reason is that the spell itself will generate mysterious aftereffects that will affect nearby wizards.
At the same time, the damage caused by spells can also be friendly.
Therefore, if two wizards are too close together, even if one of them ambushes the other, the attacker may still be injured by the aftereffects of the spell he cast.
Just like at the beginning, when Luo Ang used the Thunderclap Technique to kill that old man, he was also swept away and barely survived.
However, for the wizards, they were still unable to determine the exact location of the unfamiliar wizard, while the unfamiliar wizard had already roughly found their location. Under such circumstances, revealing themselves to each other and facing each other at close range could be considered a way to eliminate disadvantages and dispel hostility.
As long as the distance between them is close enough, the damage will be bidirectional regardless of who casts the spell.
"Alright," Luo Ang agreed with the suggestion.
The tavern was better left unmentioned; the mere mention of it seemed to bring a faint fragrance to Luo Ang's nose. Although the food culture in this world was not developed and there was not much gourmet food, the hot soup in the tavern was still better than eating and sleeping in the open in the wild.
Most importantly, in Loon's eyes, these nobles were all birds of a feather, and their lives were worthless. Staying and resting elsewhere might attract the attention of the Silver Grey School wizards and implicate them, but if it was the nobles who were implicated, Loon would feel no psychological pressure at all.
Especially the nobles before him, who, when faced with misfortune, fled with their families without any intention of staying to stabilize the situation—such actions were considered sinful in Loen's eyes.
Therefore, Loen felt even less concerned about the lives of these nobles.
Soon, the three wizards gathered in a private room of the tavern.
A messenger, controlled by mental power, brought in a warm broth containing tender venison and many spices.
This stew, piled high with spices, is one of Lo'ang's favorite dishes in this world. Although it can't be called a gourmet meal, and it can't compare to the increasingly delicious hometown food in Lo'ang's memory, the combination of various spices, as long as the meat itself isn't fishy or overcooked, makes it palatable enough to make one hesitate when eating it.
Inside the room, both the wizards Grell and Fallon wore hoods to cover their faces, while Loon alone still had a sword hanging at his waist and had taken off his cloak to reveal his face—looking at his youthful face, the wizards Grell and Fallon felt even more envious.
As the wizard Grell sipped his soup, he spoke of the connection between registered wizards and wandering nobles.
Loen and Fallon, standing beside him, also nodded slightly, each lost in their own thoughts.
After Wizard Grell finished speaking, Loon's somewhat stiff voice finally rang out in the private room.
"Where are the miners you mentioned?"
The miner himself was also a wizard, and he could also use his mental power as a weapon, enabling him to do many things that ordinary people could not.
Many situations that seem hopeless to ordinary people actually offer a path to survival for miners.
Therefore, settling miners was not a simple matter.
Therefore, even a wandering wizard, once he starts capturing mining slaves, it means that he already has a fixed and secretive small base. Otherwise, he would have no way to settle the mining slaves he captures.
Even if they were just slave traders, the miners they captured were used to exchange resources with other wizards, not for their own use. They would still have a small base to house the miners.
Loon now wants to find the wizard Grell's small base.
"Don't rush, don't rush," Wizard Grell chuckled, drawing out his words.
"The Wizard of Fallon, and this unfamiliar friend."
"Trust is a very scarce thing among us wizards, and normal transactions are rare."
"But now, because of Earl Brad's matter, we have coincidentally come into contact. Because of this, we have a small foundation of trust."
"At least, the chances of us attacking each other are very, very small, until the matter of Earl Brad is settled."
"So, how about we take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a deal between wizards?" Wizard Greer said, then took out a piece of parchment and unfolded it halfway on the table.
The exposed part is part of a structure composed of dots and lines that exhibit a certain sense of layering.
It is a rubbing of an incomplete spell structure—another form of hard currency among wizard apprentices, besides magic stone fragments.
"Indeed, this is a rare opportunity." Wizard Fallon nodded and then took out a silver sphere about the size of a thumb.
"This is an alchemical item that I obtained from the SilverAsh School through connections. It's called the Mental Barrier Generator."
The wizard Fallon explained the effects of this alchemical artifact.
This is a refining tool used for self-defense.
A wizard's mental power can interfere with the real world, and therefore can also exhibit certain physical characteristics. Thus, a wizard can use mental power to change things at the physical level.
For example, pushing away flying arrows, moving away sharp weapons, and so on.
In addition, there are many metallic elements present in a person's body.
This mental energy barrier generator is an alchemical tool developed based on the physical properties of mental energy and the metallic elements in a person's body.
Once the wizard resonates with the barrier generator using their mental energy, the barrier generator can slowly collect the metallic elements from the wizard's body, primarily using the wizard's mental energy. Of course, during this process, the wizard also needs to replenish the metallic elements lost from their body through food and other means.
Once the synchronization is complete, the barrier generator will have finished collecting the metal elements, and the barrier generator will be considered refined.
If the wizard is attacked, the barrier generator will automatically deploy, using the metal elements extracted from the wizard's body to form a physical barrier to resist external attacks.
Whether it's an attack at the level of mental power or a feat at the level of physical power, this barrier can resist some, or even completely block, attacks.
Especially in terms of its physical capabilities, the metal barrier is exceptionally well-defended.
Although once the barrier is broken, the wizard needs to draw metal elements from his own body to replenish it.
Before the barrier is broken, opening it does not require the wizard to expend any additional mental energy.
From this perspective, this mental barrier generator can be considered a protective spell that exists in a temporary spell slot for a long time.
The value of such a thing is, of course, beyond doubt.
After the wizard Fallon also brought out what he could use for the trade, both of their gazes fell on Loon.
