Chapter 42 Preparation, Shadow Sneaking
It can be said that Nouryan's arrangement was very clever and ruthless.
"Unfortunately, the opponent he met was not an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice, but me." Lucian let out a breath. "I'm afraid Nouryan won't believe that my strength will improve much faster than he imagined, right?"
"But I only have one chance. As long as Nouryan feels that he is at a disadvantage, or even finds out that there is no possibility of killing me, then he will definitely find a way to escape, and then shrink back into the academy, and will not give me another chance. A second chance, so if you want to take action, you must make sure nothing goes wrong..."
Ta-ta-ta... Lucian tapped the fingers of his left hand lightly on the table, and soon he cleared his mind.
"We still have to make a fuss about witchcraft." Lucian's hand movements paused for a moment, and then he raised his head, his eyes brightening.
…
"Teacher Lucian?" When Carly came to Lucian's laboratory and saw Lucian and the thick pile of bricks next to him, her little face turned a little pale at that moment.
"Carly, since you want to participate in the mission with me, then as your mentor, I need to be responsible for your safety." Lucian looked at Carly who was a little "cowardly before fighting" at this time, and used the provoking method Come cheer the little one up.
"You have only mastered one blazing skill now. Although you have modified it into a bow and arrow witchcraft that suits you very well, but only having such a witchcraft will make your combat mode very single and very easy to be defeated. Targeted, it will also be easy for the enemy to target them when performing missions later.”
"So I need to use this time to teach you devilishly." Lucian looked at Carly. "At least I need to let you master a few more witchcrafts so that you can deal with more complex combat situations."
"Moreover, the situation of this mission is very complicated. I also hope that you can help me a little during the battle." Lucian looked at Carly and added.
When Carly listened to what Lucian said, she suddenly felt a surge of power coming from her body. This was the first time that Teacher Lucian directly said that he needed her power. How could she refuse because of difficulties?
The resistance in her eyes quickly faded and turned into a hint of determination. "Teacher Lucian, I will work hard!"
[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +10]
Lucian looked at Carly, who was full of energy at this time, and looked away with a slight guilt.
After all, his real purpose of giving Carly a devilish teaching was actually because he was greedy for the upgraded skills and wanted to use the upgraded skills to deal with Norian.
"I'll make it up to Carly when I have the opportunity in the future." But now Lucian didn't have time to think too much, he quickly recovered his mood, and then started teaching.
"First of all, what I want to teach you is the zero-level witchcraft - Shadow Stealth, which is biased towards sneaking and escaping. This witchcraft is very practical. It is good at escaping, investigating, or quietly approaching the enemy. …”
As Lucian spoke, he took out a tiny bat that was flapping its wings from a small net bag.
This is a vampire bat named "Kudra", and it is also a kind of magical beast that has mastered zero-level witchcraft and shadow sneaking. In the wild environment, Kudela will rely on shadow sneaking to quietly approach some large monsters or humans that are more powerful than it, and then lie on their bodies to suck their blood.
However, something different from the previous research on blazing magic is that if you want to observe and study shadow stealth, you need to perform a vivisection on "Kudra", and you need to observe the various changes in Kudra's way of stimulating shadow stealth witchcraft in a living state. .
"Carly, watch carefully. When performing a vivisection, you must first fix it or anesthetize it. For example, our observation experiment this time does not need to rely on Kudela's living body reaction, so we can anesthetize it first... "
As Lucian explained, he quickly injected a natural toxin that served as an anesthetic into Kudela's neck. Soon, the struggle of the Kudra in his hand began to weaken, and Lucian finally fixed it on the dissecting table in a relaxed posture with relative ease.
"Carly, tell me, what preparations are needed before dissection?" Lucian was making preparations while testing some of Carly's basic anatomy skills.
"We need to check three and four first..." Carly said quickly, while also helping Lucian organize some of the anatomy tools that will be used one by one.
"Yes," Lucian nodded, then picked up a sharp No. 9 knife and carefully cut the blade slowly along Kudela's neck.
Although this process does not require the cooperation of witchcraft, you must be very careful when handling the knife. If you are not careful, Kudela's blood vessels or organs may be cut, causing the death of this precious living material. "When holding a knife, your hands should not shake. If you feel unsure, you can try to use [manipulation commands] or some spiritual suggestion-type witchcraft to assist you..."
Carly stood on her tiptoes slightly and looked carefully at some of the witchcraft structures on Kudela's internal tissue that had been cut off.
"Carly, you need to observe carefully here, because in addition to [Shadow Stealth], the witchcraft Kudela masters also has a zero-level witchcraft [Wind Blade]. However, when observing its body tissue, these two The natural textures of the witchcraft model will blend together..."
Lucian explained quickly. This time, firstly because he was pressed for time, and secondly because Carly already had a certain foundation in wizarding, so Lucian was very fast when explaining some things that Carly could understand, and asked Carly You have to keep up with your thinking.
"Carly, let me see where your limit is!" Lucian explained while shouting in his heart, silently encouraging Carly.
…
"Huh." Lucian adjusted his wizard robe and let out a sigh of relief. He looked a little tired, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes.
It seemed like he was almost hooked on a flower.
But Carly in the laboratory was already lying on the table. Originally she just wanted to take a short rest, but she fell asleep as soon as she lay down. Even her sleeping posture looked a little awkward, with a trace of crystal falling from the corner of her mouth.
During the entire fifteen days, except for two outings and brief practical attempts near the college, Carly and Lucian spent the rest of the time in the laboratory.
When I feel tired, I refresh myself through meditation, and apart from meditation, it is almost all teaching time.
Although meditation can replace sleep to a certain extent, and Lucian used some potions to boost his spirit, the fifteen days of teaching almost reached the limit for both Carly and Lucian himself.
"But fortunately, all these efforts are worth it." Lucian quietly left the laboratory, not to disturb Carly's rest, but he waved his hand and checked Carly's panel.
[Student]: Carly Meyer
[Strength]: Gray Bones Meditation Method·Change II (15/360)
[Health Level]: 98.7% (moderate fatigue)
[Dependence]: 84.9%
[Teaching Progress]
{Ashes Meditation·Change II}: 100.00% (bond activation)
{Fire Technique·Arrow}: 100.00% (bond activation)
{Shadow Stealth·Change III}: 6.39%
{Thunderbolt Arc·Arrow}: 4.07%
{Repelling Insects·Change III}: 1.13%
{Ice Shield·Change II}: 48.27%
Fifteen Worlds Here, Lucian taught Carly a total of four zero-level witchcraft. Except for the ice shield, which was only upgraded twice by the system due to time reasons, the other three witchcraft were all upgraded by the system three times.
Although Lucian did not teach Carly to fully master the unlocking bond due to time constraints, the skill after three system upgrades, like the Blazing Fire Technique, has made a qualitative leap in strength.
"It's a pity that Carly's mental level is still too low, otherwise she would be able to teach some difficult witchcraft this time." After Lucian closed the system panel, he smacked his lips greedily.
"But the four newly mastered witchcraft skills are good at stealth, long-range attack, reconnaissance and defense respectively. They are enough to face most situations." Lu Xian thought in his heart, and then suddenly constructed Shadow Stealth. ·Changed the witchcraft model of III.
Wow——
As the witchcraft was completely formed, Lucian's body turned into a mass of "black water" almost instantly, and his whole body blended into the shadows under his feet, moving quickly and quietly.
It took about two minutes before Lucian's body was forced out of the shadow. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sun in the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"In the shadow stealth state, my movement speed can be increased by 100%, and my concealment and silence have also been greatly improved. However, in the shadow state, my defense is reduced by 50%, and I can cast it during the day. This skill cannot conceal the special shadow formed, and the witchcraft consumed during stealth will also be greatly increased. "
"However, if it is at night or in a place like a bone mound where there is no sunlight all day long, the shortcomings of shadow sneaking will be completely covered up, and even the movement speed and concealment effect will be further improved. Fighting in a bone mound, at least in the environment In this aspect, I am even more dominant than Norian!"
Lucian looked towards the north, where the bone mound was located, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
