140. Chapter 140 – Unlucky Mage
Chapter 140 – Unlucky Mage
Carl’s question silenced Heine for a few seconds.
He suddenly remembered Barry and Dylan.
Although the former’s spell had the shadow of a metamagic spell, he couldn’t see the metamagic.
The latter was able to detect the Yuan Spirit spell formation, but he could only see some flickering silver lines as well.
Neither of their Yuan Spirit affinities were high.
Could it be that Carl was the same reason?
“This wand fires black spells, plus I was following some sort of similar black particles before I found this place.”
After a pause, Heine hesitated, “That appears to be dead metahumans.”
“Are you sure?”
A look of surprise appeared on Carl’s face:
“Are you sure that the annihilation gun emits black particles as well?”
“Yes.”
“Under what circumstances did you see it?”
“The pupils of the dead.”
“Indeed!”
Carl was excited as if he was going to rise up in place!
He paced back and forth twice, and his thin frame almost stumbled and fell.
“My guess was right, the two key elements for observing meta-spirit activity are meta-spirit affinity and necromancy!
“A meta-spirit is different from any kind of material energy, it is a spirit, the most microscopic spirit, a bridge between spirit and matter!
“The Yuan Spirit also has life, emotions, and is a living thing, so naturally there is a cycle of life and death!
“Their research is all wrong, they are on the wrong path!
“I was right, I really am a genius!
“Hahahahaha-ka.”
In his excitement, Carl smoked over.
Heine rushed forward to check on him and was relieved to find that he was only in a protective coma caused by exhaustion combined with mental exuberance.
He told Catching Goat to stay by Karl’s side and not to go anywhere.
Sheep’s holy light was like good cashmere, warm and cozy with no odor, it was simply the best caretaker for someone as frail as Carl.
Then he had Guardian Iris go back to the airship and fetch some fresh water and food down.
By now Duo had almost finished digesting Red’s memories.
The dark-skinned Cornu bore a passing resemblance to Fray, a meter and a half, long and stout, and juvenile.
“As soon as he stood up, he gave Heine a jolt.
“Wow, I see you’re all so tall.”
Heine felt his stomach flip when she surprised her with this face and said these adorable words.
Especially since she also subconsciously covered her mouth and laughed lightly ……
“…I guess you were mostly a female before.”
Heine politely averted her eyes and kindly reminded.
Duo then realized that she was a bit out of her element, and somewhat as an afterthought, covered her face in petulance.
There were no eyes to see.
No eyes at all.
…
Catch the Goat: “Calm down big sister, I’m a skeleton I’m a little mentally ill. How did you play the lord then with this look?”
Duo: “Ah…I had Megumi to teach me at the time and was focusing on the lines …… Well, I did let it go a bit too far, I’ll pay attention.”
Catch the Goat: “Just pay a little attention, it looks like Heine’s kinda happy with you like that, he probably thought he’d upgraded so he summoned someone with a more three-dimensional personality.”
…
That’s a good excuse.
Heine made a silent note of it.
…
Duo: “Are you guys playing a really new npc raising game? Megumi told me about something like Future Warrior, and I think it’s kinda fun.”
Catch the Goat was silent.
“Counts …… right, but mostly she’s playing, we’re all a bunch of manginas who just need to know where to go and who to fuck.”
Duo: “Not bad for someone who can play with old man Wei, so you guys should be pretty strong, right?”
Catch the Goat: “Depends on your definition of strong. Technically, we’re just a bunch of lone wolves with high eyes and little team accomplishments.
“This game is about team fighting after all, and having too strong of a personality is bound to hurt the team, so we basically have a process of self-optimization and self-exile.”
Duo: “Eh? But Megumi said you guys work well with Heine eh, I even think she’s being modest.
“It’s already impressive that you guys were able to brush up on all the prestige around you and save up a decent amount of startup money ……”
Catch the Goat: “Controlling the variables a bit you’ll have no trouble concluding that Heine is actually awesome. There’s no way to quantify his value, but he’s certainly a catalyst for turning things into magic. “Megumi can actually leave and move freely in this world, if she’s happy with her current rank.
“As for us, although it’s said that we can’t upgrade away from him, with the current level of freedom, and with the precedent set by General Sa, it’s not a problem to create an accidental disappearance to go out for a wave, but no one does it, or even thinks about it.”
Duo was stunned, “Why is that? From what I know about players, most people crave novelty and won’t stay in one place for a long time ……”
“Because it’s not interesting. Online games, how boring without people.”
Catch the sheep smiled: “We have not never been a lone wolf, who does not have a perfect two-week strategy in his head? But it’s all two-week-old, so what’s new? For us, Heine is the biggest novelty, and this completely different mountainous region of Makara is the biggest novelty.”
“So… ……”
Duo pondered.
…
The two of them were chatting in secret, while on the surface “Red” was still telling the story of the place.
Fray had found the grotto two months ago, but had studied it for a while and never understood what it was for.
They were like Rwandan gorillas breaking into a blacked-out human computer room, with nothing to show for it but a few wires to rip out.
Frey had men guarding the place in three shifts and finally got to the rabbit that hit the tree about a month ago.
Carl Ilan.
Carl saw the hole in the main door of the mine and used a scroll of shrinking magic to change himself to the size of his palm to burrow in.
Then, as a 3rd level mage, he was held down by a 2nd level hunter with a slap.
Then, he showed his identity to deter ……
took a beating.
He was forced to confess ……
Took a beating.
He begged for mercy ……
Took another beating.
In the end, he got a life by fiddling with the equipment here.
Father and son Frey initially had dreams of selling the weapons produced here to Eagle Wing City.
As it turned out, Karl’s production rate was so slow that he had only built his first wand until just now.
He named it the “Lance of Annihilation”.
…
When Iris returned, she brought a few bottles of healing potions with her.
Carl woke up quickly.
He continued where he left off while stuffing his mouth with food.
“Where were we just talking about? Oh yeah, black, black particles.
“If those are the ones you can see under the pupils of the dead, it means that’s indeed in the ‘necromancy’ category.
“For example, this wand, the Lance of Annihilation, it’s a small shockwave emitter.
“In principle, it’s no different from ‘Death Blast’.”
Death Blast is a dead air version of basic spells like ‘Fireball’ and ‘Ice Arrow’.
“By the way, can you hear Genin’s voice?”
Karl stared at him with eager eyes.
“Your meta-spirit affinity level must be very high, right?”
“Level four.” Heine nodded, “I can indeed hear meta-spirits.”
“I knew it ……”
Carl’s face was relieved.
He leaned comfortably against the catching goat and rubbed hard, his clothes and body making a gritty rubbing sound.
He hadn’t bathed in about a month, and his skin was grainy.
Catch the Goat: “I’m fucking …… ugh ……”
…
Rubbing himself comfortable, Carl stuffed a slice of bread into his mouth and continued:
“Do you know what the nature of meta-spirit affinity is?”
