Chapter 40 Analysis

Richard took out a knife and cut the magic weapon into five parts along a certain pattern, placing them on five parts of his body. This is not a five-build build, but five parts of a complete build. For the rest of the work, someone had to help with the installation of the two components on the back.

Although Luoqi was supposed to be the first time to construct the device, after listening carefully to Richard's detailed explanation, the technique did not seem jerky. She applied a special potion to the construct and the corresponding parts of Richard's body, then magically activated the construct and held it firmly in place with both hands.

The composition component emitted a strong light, and dozens of energy circuits composed of magic power pierced into Richard's body, and the entire composition gradually sank under his skin, and finally merged with him, revealing only a pattern on the surface of his body.

Richard clenched his fists, fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and the process of integrating into the construction was as painful as being branded with a soldering iron. However, Richard has a delicate control of the body, although his fists are clenched, his body does not move, so as not to affect the accuracy of the construction and implantation.

When the second construct was placed, Richard let out a sigh of relief. Luoqi took a towel at the right time and wiped off the sweat for him.

Richard suddenly grabbed Luoqi's hands, pulled them to his eyes, looked at them carefully for a long time, and then gradually touched Luoqi's arms upwards until he reached the back of his shoulders and chest.

Luo Qi stood calmly, letting Richard move, but her heart moved, and when she thought of something, she suddenly jumped faster.

And at this moment, in Richard's consciousness, the surface of Luoqi's body was already full of dense numbers. But there was still a gap between these numbers and what he wanted to know. Richard gathered his consciousness and his hands wandered over Luo Qi's body again, trying to make the number more abundant, so that he could sift through the parts he needed.

Richard's talent for intelligence had done his best to deal with all the numbers, and even his second consciousness, which was constantly analyzing the Divine Officer's Fighting Technique, was temporarily reversed. However, there were too many redundant and invalid numbers, which overwhelmed Richard's third-level intelligence.

Richard opened his eyes wide, trying his best to catch every slight change in Luoqi's body, just when he felt a little powerless, his eyes suddenly felt a pain, and then he suddenly felt that some kind of invisible barrier was broken, and two pale lights erupted from his eyes!

In Richard's eyes, Luoqi's image was changing with his mind. The useless hairs and clothes on her body were removed, and the distribution of muscles and veins and the flow of magic in her body gradually became clear. That's what Richard wanted to see.

Richard suddenly felt a pain in his eyes, and his mind was dizzy, and he quickly withdrew from the wonderful state just now, and rested for a while before recovering. Although Luoqi didn't know what was going on, she also saw that Richard was wrong, and hurriedly went over to help him massage his head.

Richard already knew what was going on, and after a long time, the true talent finally evolved to a third-order ability, analysis.

The third-order parsing ability can automatically analyze what Richard sees, and analyze the target within the scope of Richard's existing knowledge. Additionally, when the resolution ability is activated, Richard can now penetrate obstacles of about ten centimeters, including items such as clothing and armor. Only a container with a powerful enchanting effect can isolate Richard's ability to parse. Finally, when activating the ability to analyze, Richard also has a powerful ability to see through illusions and become invisible.

Richard felt a faint joy in his heart, and now every step of his strength has improved for him, he is so happy and so indifferent.

He stood up, looked at Luo Qi, and asked, "Have you studied magic arrays before?"

"A little fur. A lot of the principles are something I learned by reading books on my own. Luoqi said.

Richard nodded. After this time together, he already knew that Luoqi was a girl with an unusually rich knowledge of magic theory, which sometimes made him feel amazed. Richard knew very well how much effort it would take to build a solid foundation to such a level, not by talent, but by the accumulation of a lot of time and countless boring studies.

In fact, under Luoqi's simple and cold appearance, she has a persistent heart that can endure loneliness. Luoqi's magical knowledge is a bit dull, and there are many changes in the use of it, but this is the reason why there is no guide and can only read books by himself.

Richard pondered for a moment and said, "Luoqi, you have a pair of very steady hands. Although your magic power is not deep, your control power is very strong. This has the foundation...... Would you like to learn how to draw a structure?"

"Construct!?" Although Luo Qi had always been calm, she couldn't help but be short of breath at this moment! She never knew that she had a talent for this, but even if she could only become an apprentice constructor in the future, it would be a completely different and new path.

Next, Richard left a few of the most commonly used basic functional magic arrays on the magic paper, and asked Luoqi to practice drawing them by herself when she had free time. At the same time, he taught Luoqi some techniques of manipulation and stabilizing the magic of dìng, and then let Luoqi practice on her own.

Richard meditated for two hours, and after replenishing his magic powers, he walked out of the magic room and went straight to Neris's residence.

Nereus was dressed in a strong suit, armed with a long sword, sparring with the royal guards. He didn't use his fighting qi at all, and purely used his body, body reactions, and superb sword skills to deal with the attacks of the twelfth-level royal guards. The royal guard occasionally flashed with a fighting light, roared like thunder, and moved his sword like the wind, and Richard knew at a glance that he had exhausted all his strength.

However, Nereus's swordsmanship was extremely exquisite, and the long sword was picked and pulled, and he blocked the royal guard's long sword at every moment, and his luck was extremely ingenious. Sometimes it was too much to resist, so Nereus used a sharp and strange counterattack to save the enemy, so as to relieve the siege.

Nereus's movements are as graceful as the wind, and his demeanor is extremely elegant, which makes people admire it at first sight. Being able to fight with a level 12 royal guard without using the slightest fighting spirit already shows the mastery of his martial arts.

Richard had seen Nereus wield the legendary axe, the kind of momentum that thundered and blocked the powder, worthy of the name of the thunderbolt destroyer. However, the swordsmanship that Nereus is showing now is taking a completely different direction, and it seems to pay more attention to the use of technical acrylic, which has the flavor of assassination. Being able to master two completely different combat skills so well, it can be seen that this fourth prince, who is delicate and graceful in appearance, but often seems impatient and violent in temper, is not a simple character.

However, after staying in the Peerless Battlefield and the White Night for ten full days and nights, and forcibly memorizing almost every battle of the White Night with his wisdom talent, Richard's gaze was very different. Every time he fights now, he is imitating the white night, intentionally or unintentionally.

By the standards of the White Night, Neris's combat skills are more than flashy, less concise, and will give up some chances to defeat the enemy for the sake of a chic and calm posture. For example, just now, the royal guard stabbed with a sharp sword, and was lightly picked by Nereus, causing the blade of the sword to fly upwards and lose its center of gravity. At this time, Nereus calmly drew his long sword and stabbed it into the guard's chest. If Richard was replaced, he would directly use the power of the sword to pounce on the ground, and the long sword swept to the ground, most of which had already cut off the guard's feet.

In Richard's opinion, after missing numerous opportunities, Nereth finally seized an opportunity and slapped his sword on the arm of the royal guard. If it was Nereus's legendary-level giant sword, even if he didn't need to fight with his fighting spirit, he could cut off the arms of the royal guards with a single sword.

Having won the battle with hard work, especially in front of Richard, Neres seemed to be in a good mood. The royal maid next to him immediately handed over a hot towel, and Nereus wiped his sweat and said to Richard with a smile: "Why are you suddenly in the mood to come to me today? Isn't there anything good? Anyway, where did you get the gunpowder, it is so powerful! Now we can easily clear tens of thousands of trees a day, and we have no ability to bring them all back." ”

Richard smiled and said, "It's the invention of the Dwarves of the Faro plane, how about it, it's shocking, isn't it? It's hard to imagine that a secondary plane can find such a thing." ”

Nereus didn't have the big Norland plot that ordinary Norlanders often have, and after hearing this, he shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily! No matter which plane, there will be amazing civilizations, as long as you are patient to find it, you will definitely find something." This is no less than the vast wealth of resources within the plane. It would be a pity if to reach a new plane, just to conquer and plunder. ”

This passage made Richard's eyes light up, and he thought about it for a long time before he said: "Neris, I really underestimate you!"

Nereus shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I haven't participated in a few plane wars, how can I have this kind of feeling? ”

Richard asked, "Do you have any thoughts about gunpowder?" I think it should be used for much more than that. ”

Nereus thought for a moment before saying, "This thing looks useful, but it may be of limited use. I've also seen the Faro dwarven musket you brought, and its power is so limited that even the shields of ordinary infantry can't penetrate it. As for the power of the musket, it is simply not comparable to a well-trained shooter, and the range and rate of fire are far inferior. A magic armor-piercing arrow shot by a level 12 archer can penetrate the whole body plate armor. ”

Richard shook his head and said, "How long does it take to train a level 12 marksman, and how many can there be?" Dwarven muskets can be used by an ordinary person with a slightly thicker build, and as long as there is enough time and gunpowder, he can shoot as many shots as he wants. And what about the archers? With magic arrows with special abilities, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted if I shoot twenty arrows, right? To put it mildly, with the money you pay to train a level 12 archer, I can arm hundreds of musketeers. On the battlefield, the role of a level 12 shooter is not even a fraction of that of this team of musketeers!"

"But the musket has poor accuracy, short range, and slow rate of fire!" Nerius immediately pointed out the three major weaknesses of the musket.

"If we can make a fine-caliber longbow in more than a decade, why can't we try to improve the dwarven musket?" asked Richard rhetorically.
