Chapter 179
Since the "Yun" rune is obtained from practicing puppet mounts, there must be a very close and direct connection between them. Dagon walked around the seemingly muddy ground, leaning down from time to time to touch it, thinking about how to use this rune.
"Runes are the content of the phenomena generated by rune magic, so the ability of this rune must be a certain meaning extended by the word "transport"...transport?transport?move?"
The ability of the puppet mount is to transport Dagon from one place to another, whether it is going up and down a cliff or hanging upside down. Therefore, the ability of the runes should be closer to transporting. Dagon pulled his beard and looked at the mud on the ground, feeling the continuous loss of his own mana. The "Yun" rune constantly radiates the mana he generates along the ground to the surroundings. The feeling is very similar to his circulating mana, that is, when using the "Yong" rune.
Dagon suddenly had inspiration. He felt that the mud on the ground was actually a puppet mount. How did he command the puppet mount? First of all, he had to think about where to go, and then he sent mana, just like commanding mana to move on the surface of the skin.
The mud began to move, and as Dagon thought, he began to circle around him, like a vortex. Dagon took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it on the ground. The muddy rotation really drove the gold coin to roll. He focused his energy and tried to make the movement faster, but the rotation around seemed to be less obedient to the commands. Their speed could only be like a stream at most, which was useless.
“What if I concentrate?”
Concentration is a common damage-increasing technique in martial arts. Spears and swords are the products of this technique. Dagon is not allowing all mud to move, but concentrates his mana on the gold coins. At this time, only the mud under the gold coins begins to move, as if a small puppet mount is carrying it and constantly moving, so the speed is faster.
The puppet mount can keep up with the running horses when sprinting, but it lacks endurance - mainly because Dagon's mana cannot keep up. When this force acts on a gold coin, the concentrated power gives the gold coin a good speed, almost equivalent to the speed of the thrown dagger. If it is replaced with a sharp weapon and cut it suddenly, it has lethality. Dagon tried it and shook his head. The "Yun" character can carry gold coins, but it will also stick to the gold coin and will not let it escape at all.
"It's okay. You can't throw it from the ground, but you can carry ropes!" Dagon had many tactics in his mind, which burst out at this time. "If you prepare in advance, you can carry bear clips, hooks, stumble bags, and caltrops. Hum? Can you just carry other people's feet?"
At critical moments, tripping someone up or letting his feet slip, which seems very useful. Dagon thought about it and felt promising, so he ran upstairs to find the counterweight rings used for training. These counterweight rings were used to fix them on their thighs, and then wrapped them in a counterweight chain inside and out, throwing them on the ground to simulate the enemy's footsteps.
"Rare!" Dagon tried it, and didn't get stuck or find the right position. Hiss, this is quite difficult. To find the right position and reality of the force, it requires a proper judgment. Even if the time is not stable, the position must be correct. Dagon has tried it just now. The smaller the area of force, the greater the force it can generate and the stronger it will be.
"The problem is... I can't see my eyes." Dagon scratched his scalp and sat down first to think about it carefully. During the battle, his eyes should pay attention to the opponent's waist, shoulders, and arms, and he also took time to observe the opponent's gaze and expression, and even simulate the opponent's breathing. These actions to judge the opponent's intentions have taken up a lot of energy, so how can he have time to stare at the opponent's feet?
If there is still a little bit of energy left, Dagon will definitely give priority to observing the surroundings to prevent sneak attacks. However, he really has a sense that still has enough energy left: the earth's hearing. He thought that since it is the "earth" hearing (actually it is the dragon's sense, it has nothing to do with the earth), and the "Yun" rune also produces an effect on the ground, and the two should be able to cooperate! (In fact, it is not exactly)
Dagon tried it and felt that it was more difficult than looking at it with his eyes. But one thing cannot be seen just in front of him, he had to look farther away. The work pressure of the eyes is already very high, but the earth's hearing is still idle, so let the combination of the "Yun" character and the earth's hearing can best improve the combat efficiency. Moreover, the earth's hearing can penetrate obstacles. The "Yun" character releases the energy of the earth element, and can also penetrate natural soil and not too thick bricks and stones. This combination is obviously more widely used.
"Can you move others, can you move yourself?" Dagon felt that there was no big problem, because the "Yun" character is from being a riding puppet. He tried to carry his feet, but he didn't expect that it would be very labor-saving and he went out with his left leg. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would fall to the ground and raise another leg, and his crotch would have to sniffle.
"Silly, Dagon, you are such a fool. How can you just move one foot?" Dagon got up with lingering fear. He really didn't expect that moving himself would be much more convenient than moving a gold coin. "Mana is more efficient when it acts on him, which is closer to the characteristics of divine art. The priest's divine art needs to mix the power of his own soul domain, with its own strengthening characteristics, so he is good at strengthening himself. And the mage, such as the pink flame of Shiloae, uses a large amount of natural elemental energy from the terrain, so it is more suitable to influence the outside world."
When transporting himself, the "Yun" character is no different from the puppet mount. Dagon can still see the earth element energy gathered in the form of soil on his feet. They form countless small bear lizards, pulling Dagon together to move. After trying for a while, Dagon has already understood the advantages and disadvantages of this movement.
"Compared with puppet mounts, this kind of movement is too laborious. Whether it is short or long distance, its efficiency is much lower than that of puppet mounts, and it must be focused at all times. This is not as convenient as letting the star helmet command the puppet mounts on its behalf." Dagon thought for a while and added: "There are also benefits, it is more concealed and sudden. If I fall to the ground, or need short movement, it can pull me out of danger or take advantage of the dominant position."
So he lay on the ground and tried it, and he could indeed move. As long as he continued to output mana, the muddy field could even take him up the steps and to the upper level of the pit.
Since it depends on the effect, we have to experiment with various situations. When Dagon put on armor, the efficiency of the "Yun" character is greatly affected. Both the starting speed and the handling speed are only one-third of the previous one, and it has lost its tactical value. However, after he put on the five-headed dragon cloak, when the cloak was in contact with the ground, his speed increased, returning to 80% of the time when he only wore training clothes.
This phenomenon is very interesting. When wearing a cloak, there is still a comfortable breastplate inside, which means that the five-headed dragon cloak has recovered the efficiency of reducing the comfortable breastplate? Dagon quickly took off the breastplate and wore a naked cloak, which was the same as when he was not wearing a cloak.
"It seems that Chimera's skin and scales still have some unknown characteristics that need further research." Dagon touched his beard and thought of Hiloai. "If you have the chance, you should check out her paper on Chimera. Only formal students can view that kind of literature. The library card issued by the magic tutor for me is not good. Forget it, it's better to find some time to ask Hiloai directly."
Dagon never thought about whether Shiloai would not give it to him. For this elf female mage, Dagon only focused on the part of "Master", "female" was second, and the word "elf" did not become an obstacle at all. His idea was very simple: Shiloai would always deliberately use "Jiangu people" in front of him, and she would only use "dwarfs" when facing her fellow elves or other races.
Either she doesn't use "short" to discriminate against the Jiangu people, or she cares especially about Dagon's feelings. No matter which possibility it is, Dagon thinks she is very good. Now some Jiangu people still call themselves dwarves. Although they don't necessarily belittle themselves, this kind of "carelessness" is far less than Shiloai's "deliberateness".
The Jiangu people are not short. Some humans are not less than 1.6 meters tall when they are adults, and no humans are called dwarves. The shortness of dwarves is relative to elves. The average height of adult elves is more than 1.7 meters tall. They are indeed tall and thin, but occasionally there are elves that are not that tall or chubby. When the Jiangu people become adults, they are carved from a mold, with height of about 1.6 meters, floating up or down by one or two centimeters, but the difference between shoulder width and chest and abdomen can be very different.
"Don't miss her for now. Why do you think of her? "Dagon pulled his beard and returned to the "Yun" rune. At present, this ability is necessary to exercise, and its prospects for use are very bright. Since that's the case, give it a simple name, which is worthy of its journey to this world.
The earth element energy, using the "Yun" character, is called earth movement technique. "The earth movement technique is not good, like morning sickness. It's better to earth movement technique." Dagon looked at the star helmet, and the latter made an expression of "You can do whatever you want, I'm not embarrassed anyway" and continued to lie on the wall to pretend to be a gecko. Dagon smiled and continued to start training.
As training increases, Dagon is increasingly sure that the earth movement technique is closer to the priest's magic technique than the mage's arcane, but it is essentially rune magic. Since the task given by the Lord of Auror is to improve the rune magic, it requires him to avoid rushing away the old paths of other rune magicians as much as possible, Dagon has to avoid too early and borrow too much of the rune magic technique. In this way, the direction he can refer to and refer to should be biased towards divine magic.
"But I am still enlightening the gods, and I have to practice the magic by myself." Dagon grabbed his beard and looked entangled. "Anyway, it's all spells. Why don't you ask Hiloai? Hiss, you can't always look for her, at least not now. Didn't she still ask me for something? I'll practice the earth movement technique first, and then ask her for advice."
