Chapter 50 Eavesdropping

The "butterfly" created by spells swayed its thin wings and slowly flew in the air. At a glance, the butterfly was like a living thing, and it was hard to tell that it was a prop for monitoring.

Liqi found Danfoss was very alert, and there was a reason for him to choose to have a club party in that small cabin. There were usually no apprentices to visit easily in the off-road place, and the gentle surrounding environment allowed people in the cabin to easily see if there were people around.

Unfortunately, they were all focused on the discussion. No one noticed the situation around them, and no one was distracted from observing a passing butterfly. After a while, under Liqi's operation, the paper-folded butterfly slowly landed among the flowers that no one noticed.

"Okay, OK, Carredis, I think you do have your own opinion." The terminal that stayed near the party made Danfoss' calm words come to Liqi's ears, "But we can put this matter first, I don't think it will affect our plans."

Unfortunately, when the terminal was sent to the position, the content they discussed before had come to an end. Liqi couldn't know what the so-called "will not affect the plan" thing they were talking about before was. The apprentice, who he called Carredis, returned to his original position without saying a word.

The previous discussion has come to an end, and Danfoss raised his voice and said, "Very good, let's talk about the latest achievements I have made in my research. Not long ago, I have shown you an excellent ancient spell, and these ice cones will become our strength."

Standing in the corner of the corridor at the edge of the corridor, Liqi could barely see some light white light emitted from the cabin, and could vaguely feel the water vapor in the air gathering in that direction. It is conceivable that Danfos released the spell to create ice cones in order to demonstrate his power to the members.

Liqi regretted not having a spell on the terminal that could directly transmit the senses. In this way, she couldn't see the specific form of the spell used by Danfoss. She couldn't help but blame herself, and even forgot about the preparation to place a core that could retain the picture on it.

The small building where she is located is too far from the cabin where Danfoss and others gather, and Liqi cannot stand on the windowsill and look at their location. She shrank behind the wall panels in the corridor, and used the gaps on the wall panels to spy on them, she could only see a "X"-shaped outline of the magic cube array crossed.

If it were just an ancient spell to make ice cones, Liqi had seen at least seven different structures, but the one that Danfoss drives now is exactly what she had never seen before. Seeing a circle of ice cones as big as a canine-title float on his fingertips, and then gradually expanding, Liqi's doubts gradually grew.

According to the basic theory of elemental spells, ice cones, a type of spell with the attribute of "ice" is a variant of the four basic branches of "water". The "cold" of "water" itself is further strengthened and the "curing" characteristics are attached to it, thereby creating solid ice cubes.

Where there is water, there are materials for making ice, and spells with raw materials are simpler than making out of thin air. Therefore, a simple and cost-effective projection spell like the ice cone was a spell commonly founded by sorcerers in the army in the past, and they were used to guard against enemy attacks.

Based on different needs on the battlefield, this spell has had many variations. Nearly a hundred years ago, there was a battle that later generations called "snowball fights". The two sides held heavy shields and threw ice cones at each other. In the end, no one died, and a few injured were injured due to some stupid reasons.

This kind of spell is still very popular when magic tools are not popular yet. The temporarily recruited "spellgists" used such spells to fully exert their maximum effect. Unfortunately, this wave was quickly eliminated after the invention of new mechanic guns and large-scale equipment.

This is a matter of course. The "ice cone" spell with low energy consumption as the selling point is just a spell to project an ice cube, which can only be used to deal with enemies with incomplete protection. In the face of a magic bullet with lower energy consumption, longer range, and more powerful power, it can only give way.

So this spell only flooded the battlefield for a short period of time and was gradually swept into the garbage dump of history. The few left side variants that have been passed down to the present have long become methods used for temporary ice making in dessert shops, and there is no chance to enter the battlefield again.

Ping Ping Pong!

A few crisp sounds of shattering sounds one after another, Danfoss operated the translucent "ice cones" and shot at several targets placed elsewhere in the cabin. With his command, several glimmers of light about the size of a thumb cut open the air and nailed them to the simple wooden target.

She could identify the "ice cone" used by Danfoss in its most basic form that adds "operations" to improve the controllability of spells, and also adds "large-scale" to improve basic lethality. It can almost be said to be a variant developed entirely for the specialized combat capabilities.

Judging from its speed and size, it may not even be able to penetrate the light mail that Curt bought to support the facade. No, if it were Curt, these ice cones would not touch him at all. This old "ancient spell" can only threaten ordinary citizens without armor.

A rough calculation is made. The total magic power required to drive this spell can already fire "ice cones" of normal specifications three to four times. If a small metal ball is added as a catalyst and a little more magic power is injected into it, it can even create a fire ball that is enough to ignite the dry wood.

Liqi was a little confused. Who would have invented this kind of spell that seemed special to attack power on the surface, but in fact it was thankless.

Looking at these apprentices who were just glad to see a spell that had been eliminated for a long time, Liqi was a little amused. She didn't think these apprentices had not learned any spells in the academy that were more profound than the content contained in this "ice cone". But now, facing the poorly outstanding spells with the name of an ancient spell, these people's reactions were unexpectedly enthusiastic.

Liqi couldn't imagine what purpose they had access to ancient magic.

"Spells are power, but not just power.

This is wisdom, knowledge, technology, and will.

Wisdom is the first to think about the truth.

Knowledge is the eyes and ears, and it is the recognition of everything.

Technology is the wrist, and casting extraordinary.

Will is the legs and feet, step towards the unknown.

Under the guidance of the real purpose, we will spread the brand new Yingzhi!"

This is the text carved on the stone tablet next to the main entrance of Katris Academy. On the stone tablet is a statue of a female spellman holding a book. This is a copy of the statue of the Mythical Age found outside the suburbs of the imperial capital. A school of scholars believe that this is a sculpture left by the ancients to commemorate the great achievements of the magicians.

The inscription engraved under the statue is the motto left by the "Silver Dragon King" Shuyi Grostest, who carried forward the academy construction. The least value of this spellman with strong spell casting ability among all the spells he studied in his life was the power of spells.

If he saw that the students in his academy regarded the "pathway" as the "purpose" and then were obscured by the "purpose", he really didn't know what he would think.

After watching Danfoss' demonstration, the interior of the cabin was filled with clapping sounds, but at this moment, an apprentice sitting on the right hand of Danfoss suddenly stood up.

"Danfoss, we all know the effect of this spell." He raised his voice and asked Danfoss. Liqi suddenly felt that she had heard this sound somewhere. "But there is one thing you should know, not everyone can release this spell at will as you do. As you said, its structure is not complicated, but the magic consumed by creating ice cones out of thin air is a bit overwhelming."

Did Danfoss create an ice cone out of thin air? Hearing this news, Liqi raised her eyebrows - she had thought that Danfoss had used the water prepared in advance in the cottage as material before releasing this spell, and then subconsciously began to refute the spell.

Casting spells without materials is an enhancement method of ancient spells. It frees the spells from a large pile of materials, and the reduced load allows them to have flexible and maneuverable movement ability. Of course, in order to achieve the result of material exemption, the magic power consumed is increased in geometric multiples.

From their conversation, Danfoss released this spell just now, as in the past, did not use materials, but created an ice cone out of thin air. Originally, Liqi just felt that he had suddenly gained the ability to cast spells and was a bit concerned, but now she has begun to consider re-examine his intelligence.

"Don't worry, Constant." Danfoss seemed very satisfied with the question raised by the man, but his tone was as plain as ever. "I've said before that an appropriate amount of ice crystal powder can be used as a catalyst for this spell, allowing us to cast this spell easily."

But it wasn't long after he finished speaking, an apprentice from another side of the school who was unknown to him immediately stood up and stammered and raised objections: "But, Danfoss, you have to know... ice crystals are contraband, and it seems...well, it's not easy to get it."

Danfoss waved his hand and signaled him to sit down: "I said, don't worry. I haven't had the chance to tell you before, our dear friend, Miller Echcombe, using his ingenuity, successfully helped us get a batch of ice crystals that we can use for practice."

Although she didn't know who Miller Echcombe was, Liqi still remembered what the mineral ice crystal was the last contact between Danfoss - that day she found that the materials that the people took from the storage cabinet included several glass bottles containing ice crystals.

She immediately understood what the so-called "intelligence" was. It seems that the "next experiment" I heard about before was related to what they discussed.

Clip-click...

Just as she was about to continue monitoring, a sound of footsteps came from downstairs.
