Chapter 105: Parallel Imports?
Labis's attack didn't pose any threat to the Centaur Knight, as it simply raised its shield to block the longsword that flew through the air and was condensed from ice. Not only that, but it also took advantage of the momentum to slam the shield in his hand, which made the heavily armored swordsman who had planned to pounce and pull the attack have to retreat a few steps to avoid the scattered ice sword residue.
But this is just this step, but it has already decided his fate.
Just as the heavily armored swordsman raised his sword and re-posed his position, suddenly a shadow hung in front of his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw the tall figure of the centaur knight, and it was only a few centimeters away from him!
Worst!
This was the last thought of the heavily armored swordsman, and the next moment, he was slammed into his chest by the shield raised by the centaur knight, and flew backwards violently, and then lay down on the ground, looking at the painful appearance of his chest covering, I am afraid that he will not be able to lie down for the time being.
"Settle down!"
The Ranger with the longbow obviously didn't expect his companion to hold on to even a single shot, and he shot the arrow in his hand at the centaur knight in a panic as he quickly stepped back. Originally, their plan was to let the heavily armored swordsman entangle the other party, and then the three of them took the opportunity to attack.
But I didn't expect that in less than ten seconds, their plan would be completely bankrupt. This surprised the ranger considerably, and he had no better way for a while, but to quickly distance himself.
At this moment, the thief had already appeared behind the centaur.
Like Lando, he didn't expect that Andong couldn't even hold a face, which also made the thief who originally planned to attack hesitate, and because of this, the thief's hand holding the dagger was not able to stab out at the first time, but just in the blink of an eye, the outcome of the battle had been decided.
The violent impact and pain swept the thief up like a wave, and at the moment he hesitated, the centaur kicked backwards violently, and the two heavy hind hooves were impartially imprinted on the thief's chest, and then the poor creature rose into the air like abandoned garbage, and fell to the ground wailing.
If it weren't for the centaur "foot" mercy, I'm afraid that all the bones in the thief's chest would have been kicked off by now.
At the same time as the thief fell to the ground, the centaur knight let out a low roar and charged towards Lando.
"Labis!"
Seeing the centaur rushing towards him, Lando hurriedly pulled up his longbow again, and soon, one by one, arrows were shot at the body of the centaur knight, but under the protection of the heavy armor, it was in vain, which made Lando even more anxious, and hearing his call, the ranger girl on the side finally came to her senses, she hurriedly took out another bottle of potion from her arms and threw it on the ground in front of Lando.
On the surface, there doesn't seem to be any change in the ground. But the moment the centaur rider rushed in front of Lando, its body suddenly tilted forward. The centaur rider was in a rare embarrassed position because of the tremendous momentum of the charge, and he struggled to pull his hooves out of the ground that had been reduced to the mud, but was unsuccessful. Because the centaur rider was rushing so fast, its two front hooves were almost swallowed up in the mud and sank into its knees, making it impossible to move.
"It's elemental fusion, yes."
At this time, Marlene, who was standing next to her, spoke, and she looked curiously at the pale, but with a hint of joy, and there was obvious doubt in her tone.
"It's really strange that she actually knows alchemy, but since she has obviously learned elemental fusion, why would she use this way of simulating elementary spells?" …,
Hearing Marlene's self-talk, Rhodes didn't say much, and at this moment he was also looking at Labis in front of him. He knew very well why Marlene had such doubts, in fact, Rhodes was the same, it stands to reason that being able to use alchemy of this level of elemental fusion means that her strength has reached the level of a formal alchemist. Formal alchemists, on the other hand, should already be able to produce magic items on their own, and have the ability to simulate low-level spells. However, Labis did not show any magic items from beginning to end, and from Rod's eyes, he did not see that she had any magic equipment on her. And all the spells she simulated with the potion were spells at the level of mage apprentices~ Although this kind of spell was barely passable, this kind of elementary spell that any mage apprentice could easily learn and master, there was no need to simulate it at all.
It's like a normal person walks on two legs, you walk while jumping, everyone walks, why do you have to go to the kind of tuition force? Isn't that sick?
Originally, the purpose of alchemy was to simplify what was originally complicated, but now it seems that Labis's actions are more like an overkill.
This level of alchemy, not to mention that Marlene doesn't pay attention to it, I'm afraid even Lìjie's guardian shield can handle it. Instead of wasting time doing this kind of useless work, it might be more threatening to use your ranger skills, right?
Just when the two were puzzled, the winner was already divided on the field.
Although the Centaur Knight was caught off guard by the path of the two, Lando did not get the victory he hoped for. Just when the centaur knight realized that it was impossible for him to leave easily, he immediately stabbed his spear forward, and Lando had no idea that the other party could still think of attacking in this situation, and before he could react, he was picked off the wooden bow in his hand. Although Labis saw that her brother was in trouble and wanted to use alchemy to attack again, her performance made Rhodes and Marlene shake their heads and sigh at the same time, and the centaur knight who noticed Labis's actions directly waved his left hand, and the whistling shield swirled and flew over the girl's head. This frightened the poor girl and crouched down with her head in her hands, as for what she had wanted to do before, I am afraid that she had forgotten it by now.
A flock of rookies.
It was less than thirty seconds from the beginning to the end of the battle, and the scene in it was even more Rod shook his head, frankly speaking, this level of mercenaries is not even comparable to rookie players, as for what to let them go on missions with them, it seems even more infeasible now.
At the end of the battle, Rhodes summoned back his elves. And the four of them obviously know very well that their performance is not good, and they can learn a thing or two by looking at their disgraced appearance when they stand in front of Rhodes.
"Frankly, your performance is completely not what I want."
Rod's speech, as always, was not the slightest embellishment and politeness, which made the faces of the four of them a little ugly, but they also understood that what Rod said was the truth.
"However, I will give you another chance, and in the next rìzi, I ask you to follow my orders and act, and I will teach you how to improve your strength. If you are able to do what I ask, then you still have a chance to officially become a member of the mercenary group. If you still can't, then sorry ....... ”
Saying this, Rod spread his hands.
"You will have to be servants with me."
Hearing this, the four of them were stunned, they raised their heads and looked at Rhodes in disbelief, and Lando opened his mouth to say something. But in the end, he didn't say anything, indeed, they were mercenaries, not slaves. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be treated like this, but in the test just now, even Lando himself knew that they were doing too badly. In the past, they were always very relieved when Anne was there, but now, without Anne's protection, they found that they couldn't even fight. …,
Can this still be called a mercenary?
Just as Lando was thinking hard, Rod's flat voice reappeared.
"Answer?"
"Yes, sir!"
Lando hurriedly straightened up and looked up.
"We assure you that we will absolutely do what you ask."
"I hope so."
Lando's answer did not move Rod a little, although he had already heard about the temper of his new head from Shana, but seeing that expressionless face still made Lando and the others a little frustrated. If Rhodes had been able to smile at them at this time, perhaps they would have been more relieved than they were as nervous as they are now.
"I have one more question, though, about Labis."
Hearing this, Lando immediately became nervous, and the girl beside him also trembled and grabbed her brother's robe, and looked cautiously at the young man in front of him, who was only a little older than himself. Although he noticed the nervous look in the eyes of the two, Rhodes did not mean to pause, just looked at the girl and continued.
"Judging from the battle just now, her alchemy has reached the level of elemental fusion, but what makes me wonder is that why did Labis not use magic items? And with her strength, it shouldn't be difficult to simulate spells such as paper, right? ”
"Yes, that's right, sir."
Hearing this, Lando showed a wry smile, and at this moment, he also somewhat understood Rod's thoughts. It's not surprising that when they joined the Macbeth Mercenary Regiment, they were treated in the same way, but ......"
"In fact, Labis's talent is not very good, although she loves alchemy very much, and she is quick to learn, mastering almost every subject quickly. But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and it will be difficult for her to make progress after this......... In fact, although she did have the strength to fuse the elements now, there was no way to make an alchemy reagent to ",......"
"Wait."
Hearing this, Rod interrupted Lando's words with a strange expression. And at this moment, Marlene's expression was also a little surprised.
"You mean, she can get started in every subject of alchemy? From mystical creations, potions to constructs? Can she learn every subject? ”
"Yes, yes, sir.
Hearing this, Labis timidly gave an answer, she looked at the man in front of her timidly, and whispered.
"I, when I first came into contact with alchemy, I thought that alchemy was to be learned together, so I just," .......... ”
“………………………”,
Hearing this, Rod reluctantly glanced at Marlene. They finally knew what was the reason for the Labes.
It's like going to a foreign language alone, but English, French, German, and Russian are all part of a "foreign language", and most people will only choose to learn one language, and then learn another after learning it. In Labis's case, it is equivalent to learning five foreign languages from scratch in one go, and it is no wonder that there is so much difference in her performance and strength. Elemental fusion is indeed the basic foundation of alchemy, but in general, learning alchemy is only a matter of specialization. If you learn about mysterious creations, then elemental fusion is used to create magical equipment. And if you are studying pharmacy, then elemental fusion is used to make reagents. If you are learning to construct a craft, then Elemental Fusion is to provide the manufacture of a magical construct and the production of a core.
Different disciplines have different uses, and now, this girl is so atmospheric that she wants to eat into a fat person one by one. …,
The so-called ignorant are fearless, and that's it.
But what made Rhodes and Marlene feel even more incredible was that the girl was able to really start three disciplines at the same time, you must know that the three disciplines in the alchemy of the Dao have their own requirements, and ordinary people can only learn one subject in their life, even if they want to be greedy to learn two or three subjects at the same time.
Even the transcendent player can't escape this limitation, in the alchemy setting, the player chooses to learn a subject and only costs one skill point, but if he wants to open another subject, then it will cost five skill points. If you focus on one subject, you will already reach the level of level 6. It's simply impossible to waste on opening, and the knowledge points and skills required for each discipline are also different, even if there are really players who are bored and want to dominate all alchemy, it is impossible to achieve results without three or five years. At least in Rhodes's memory, he had been playing the Dragon Soul Continent for so many years, and he had never seen an alchemist who had successfully "cultivated three things". Because it's the same as an all-talent class, it's an imaginary that can only appear in theory, not in practice.
And now, in front of his eyes, there is such a strange thing alive.
Is she a genius? Or is it a parallel import?
Rod felt completely helpless at the moment, he really wanted to pat the girl on the shoulder, and then tell her a word in a serious voice.
Kid, you're out of play, delete the number and rehearse...... )
