"The effect of the first-level magic shield technique is to erect an invisible barrier in front of the body, and the mage armor is an all-round magic force field without dead ends, the former belongs to local defense, and the latter is three-dimensional protection, they can almost be regarded as the prototype of all protective spells, even if it is a ninth-level magic, it is just to strengthen the strength of the force field......"

In the dimly lit mage tower, Henry stood in place with a dirty face and muttered to himself, writing and drawing on parchment nervously for a while, and trying to construct a spell structure for a while, the whole person looked crazy, and he didn't know that he thought there was something wrong with his brain. ￥f，

I don't know how long he's been here, but he looks very sloppy at the moment, his silver head is starting to be curled, his face is greasy, and his nails are covered with gray dirt.

I have to say that it is not easy for a person to be so dirty that he is not aware of it, especially the thick layer of black ash on his neck, but any normal person will feel extremely uncomfortable.

In the Faren Continent, most people still attach great importance to their own hygiene, after all, it is related to their physical health. Except for travelers and adventurers who spend all day in the wilderness and have little conditions to bathe, most people insist on bathing once every two to three days, and in the hotter south, some nobles even bathe twice a day.

Of course, the desert areas where there is a shortage of water are not counted. In such a place, water is a precious commodity and a source of calamity, and if there is not enough power, the people living near the water park will be swallowed up by the swarming bandits in an instant.

Henry was unaware of his current state and was still working tirelessly on his research. He didn't eat, drink, or sleep, and threw himself into it. Tried all kinds of protective magic over and over again. Try to find some inspiration in it.

As the largest organ in the human body. The role of the skin is actually very large. It mainly undertakes the functions of protecting the body, perspiring, feeling heat and cold, and stress, while protecting various tissues and organs in the body from physical, mechanical, chemical, and pathogenic microbial invasion.

All he had to do now was to cover his body with a magical shield through the pores without affecting these functions, which, unlike ordinary protective spells, must be able to resist both physical and magical effects.

Obviously, this is not an easy task, and the most difficult part is how to ensure that the shield is able to resist hits.

Because clinging to the skin means that there must not be too much energy, otherwise it will definitely completely isolate the skin from the outside world. It can be very uncomfortable for a long time. In the same way, it can't be too little, and if it's too little, the defense capability is not enough, so this is a contradiction that is difficult to balance.

"Damn! What the hell should I do......" Henry stared at the snakeskin in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed together, as if he were about to tear the snakeskin to shreds with his eyes.

Suddenly, he quickly grabbed a knife on the table, and without hesitation, he plucked off a piece of snake scales, placed it in the bright light and looked at it carefully, and soon let out a wild laugh.

"Hahahahaha! I see...... I see...... I should have thought of it a long time ago! A qiē secret is hidden in the structure of the scales! It's no wonder that human skin can't carry as much magical energy as snake skin, because of the lines on the scales. I may not be able to invent a shield that attaches to my skin. But it's possible to create a layer of magic scales on the skin, so that all the problems are solved. ”

Henry's personality has always been to do what he says. Now that he had a new idea, he immediately began to construct a new spell model, and with the experience he had summed up after the failure a few days ago, he completed the first step in just ten minutes, and then began to taste the energy extracted from the magic net, slowly forming a scaly structure on his body.

Soon, pieces of scales glowing with black light first appeared on the face, followed by rapid growth along the neck, and in the blink of an eye, the whole body was spread all over the body, and the whole person looked like a cold-blooded creature with scales.

There is no doubt that the new magic is finally complete at this moment, and the next thing to do is to test its usefulness, especially its resistance to various magics, in order to make a little more minor adjustments at the end.

"First of all, the physical hardness, let's try it with an axe made of stainless steel......" said Henry, who picked up a one-handed axe directly from the weapon rack, then put an arm on the table, and slashed it hatefully, there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes, as if it was not his own arm, it was simply extremely ferocious.

"Bump!"

The moment the blade and the scales collided, a large number of sparks were sparked, and the huge reaction force caused the axe to bounce high, almost hitting the face.

Thankfully, Henry's reaction was quite quick, his head tilted slightly to the left, and he let the axe fly backwards with his cheek and slam into the door.

He was not even interested in looking back, and immediately raised his hand to examine the place where the axe had been cut, and found that the scales had not broken at all, except for a small scratch.

"Interesting! It seems that it can at least defend against enchanted weapons below level 3, which is not bad for a level 6 magic. He said with a happy face.

You must know that this is a resident magic, which means that once it is cast, it can last for at least eight hours, although it is not as effective as the same sixth-level spell "Protective Magic Weapon", but it is better to be able to pray for protection all the time, unlike the former who disappeared in less than half a minute.

In the next few minutes, Henry conducted another magic test, starting with the lowest level of magic missiles, and then leveling up little by little, and by the time he reached the fourth level of magic, the color of the scales had become much lighter, and it was estimated that he could no longer withstand the damage at a high level.

Such a result was obviously not within his acceptable range, and he immediately frowned: "The physical protection ability seems to be a little too strong...... Weak magic protection...... If you don't increase the spell level, I'm afraid this is the limit. Damn, isn't that forcing me to do another set of magic......"

Ever since his last experience developing the Soul Moth, he had completely lost interest in the series of spells.

Because most mages don't develop a series of magic out of their intentions. It's not the ability to do it all in one step. So let's create a simple template first. And then little by little it is perfected and upgraded, just like the magic of the Bigbay series.

If Bigbay could directly create a ninth-level magic "Smashing Palm" back then, then he would definitely not waste time developing low-level spells such as "Aid Palm" and "Stumbling Palm".

However, Henry is not familiar with this unnamed spell at the moment, and if he does not come from the lowest level, then it may be difficult to optimize the spell structure to the best state.

As a perfectionist, he would never allow any flaws in his magic, so he sighed helplessly and muttered, "Okay." It seems that I can only start from scratch, I don't know if this counts as forcing a good person to become a prostitute......"

Just as he lifted the scales from his body, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the workshop.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Open it yourself! Open the door! You've locked yourself in for more than nine days! Tonight is the day of the public auction of elven art, should you come out and pack up and greet the guests? In addition, Doris is almost due to give birth, so you should be ready for the birth of a new member of the family. Sycodi's voice came through the door.

Hearing his wife's words, Henry's face changed instantly, and he immediately rushed to the table, grabbed the divinity in the bottle and stuffed it into the dimensional bag, and then walked towards the door in three steps and two steps. He had no idea that he had been in the Mage Tower for so long, and he didn't know how Borken's preparations were.

After all, the decisive battle with Yin Ghost City is imminent. It's not good to miss something at this important time.

As soon as the magic lock on the door was lifted, Sycodi, who was already a little impatient, immediately pushed the door open. When she saw her husband's appearance, she immediately pinched her nose and withdrew, while complaining in a low voice, "Oh...... Damn it! What does it taste like, sour and smelly. Honey, you didn't take a shower today? ”

"For at least nine days, I bet he hasn't cleaned up since he entered this room." The dragon lady Hina who followed closely behind also pinched her nose and teased with a smile on her face.

Hearing the words of the two beautiful ladies, Henry took a few steps back and explained with a helpless smile: "I'm sorry, this is what I was like when I was doing magic research, only by concentrating can I solve the problem as quickly as possible. As for how many days I haven't showered, how can I remember it so clearly. By the way, what's going on out there now? ”

Silky took out a piece of parchment from the pocket of her dress: "Here, you will know by looking." I really don't understand why you had to put Eren in such a dangerous place, considering that there is a fierce war going on there, and I heard that the corpses are about to pile up. ”

"The young eagle needs to be exercised to sharpen his claws, and this qiē is all for him to grow up healthily." Saying that, Henry ignored his wife's complaints and opened the parchment directly, but he only glanced at it, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. "Duel in front of the gods?! Vaughn actually gained the attention of the god of war, Tampas!! ”

Sheena nodded very sternly: "That's right, according to the news that came back, Vaughn and the legendary figure of the Supreme Wasteland, the orc warrior One-Eyed Longt, held a battle near Wywood City that shocked the world, and the two sides fought to a draw with all their might, and if it wasn't for the intervention of the gods, they might end up together." ”

"And now? What is the war going on in the north now? Henry asked in a low voice with narrowed eyes.

At this moment, he felt that the situation was starting to get a little out of control, especially the addition of the Lord of War and the Orc Lord God, which made this qiē even more weird.

"Stalemate, the tribal coalition forces stormed for six hours every day like a routine, and then they collected their troops and returned to the camp, and continued the next day, and I don't know what the hell they were doing." As she spoke, there was a look of disgust in her eyes.

Hearing this answer, Henry's originally gloomy face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a playful smile: "Sure enough, it's the handiwork of Yin Soul City, it seems that I really guessed correctly." Rayvaran, I hope you won't cry after this fight. ”

"Alright, don't think about it so much yet, come back to the palace with me to take a bath, and then get ready to receive the guests. You must know that many nobles from the entire Western Continent have come to participate in this grand event, and I don't want to make any mistakes. ”

Ignoring Henry's protests, Sycody dragged him into the carriage and ordered the coachman to go straight to the palace...... (To be continued......)
