C12 Holy Land of Mages

Before raiding all night, everyone present was exhausted, and after Jack finished speaking, they went to rest.

  Rex was no exception. He chose a room that was passable, and closed the broken door. He didn't care about the dust all over the wooden bed, and lay down on it.

   During the past week, Rex's mind has been tense, even sleeping with half of his eyes open, for fear of being killed by the guards who rushed in the next moment, and now he can finally relax a little bit.

   "Alaska..."

Rex murmured about the Mage land mentioned by Jack. Unlike Willi and others who had doubts, he didn't think it was strange for a group of Mages who could magic to unite to enclose a piece of land and study magic in it. .

   Or, in his opinion, this is nothing more than normal... On the contrary, the theology of the Holy See, which is engaged in faith, looks strange.

   For Rex, going to the Land of Mages is undoubtedly an excellent choice. In a place that advocates magic and knowledge, he can give full play to his advantages, and he doesn't have to worry about being captured one day.

   And in the territory of the Avalonia Empire controlled by the Holy See, I am afraid that I can't even find a place where I can farm and improve technology with peace of mind.

  In case there is really no holy land for him, no matter where you go to reason, even if you make an anti-matter weapon, you may not be able to survive it...

   After weighing the pros and cons, Rex temporarily gave up his plan to travel alone, but a trace of worry remained in his mind.

  He didn't think that the sense of crisis he had noticed in the dense forest before was his own illusion.

  Jonnie, White Pigeon, Will, Buck, Button... One after another figures flashed in Rex's mind.

  During the six months of becoming a Mage Trainee, he had very little friendship with these people, let alone any grievances, so the possibility of personal enmity can basically be ruled out.

   As for who did it?

  Rex thought for a while, and first of all, Jack can be ruled out.

   It wasn't because of the goodwill brought by the original body that she was treated specially, but because she was the least suspicious.

  As the apparent leader of a group of Trainees and the proposer of the escape plan, if she surrenders, then she should run away quickly.

   Followed by Baige, the opponent's ability to control animals is very important, it can be said to be the eyes and ears of the team, if such a person changes positions, it will definitely be a nightmare.

  The parchment scroll that I reminded myself before was also written by Jack, and the white dove controlled the gray crow to send it. If one of them had a problem, Esher might have died before he crossed over.

  The remaining three people, Rex, hesitated a little. Buck and Button were twin brothers. It shouldn't be a problem for them to take care of each other and hide it from Jack and others.

  At least the taciturn Willi knows even less, he only knows that the other party is the heir of an earl in the Avalonia Empire.

  Rex closed his eyes, and kept recalling every detail of his contact with a group of Mage Trainees, and then thought of the secret passage in the [drunkard] tavern, Old York, the Mage's land, lame Lauder...

   Vaguely, a guess flashed through his mind, Rex opened his eyes suddenly, sat up from the bed, and an inexplicable chill gradually came to his heart.

  ka~

   At the same moment, there was a creaking sound of the door shaft turning, and the half-covered door was pushed open.

  Already on guard, Rex subconsciously pulled out the long sword at his waist, and slashed towards the door.

   After seeing the person coming, Rex's hand suddenly stopped, and the sharp sword hovered in front of the girl.

   "Jack?" Rex was somewhat surprised.

  The silver-gray-haired witch was holding her right hand in front of the sword. Only then did Rex notice that the girl was wearing a pure black leather glove on her right hand, with many complicated and mysterious inscriptions engraved on the surface.

   It looks like it should be some kind of alchemy prop.

   "Did you have a nightmare?" The silver-gray witch frowned lightly, not quite understanding why Rex reacted so suddenly. After a pause, she explained again. "I knocked on the door just now, but you didn't answer."

  Rex nodded, retracted the long sword, and asked in doubt. "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"The teacher told me before that once you have mastered [Ice Blade], I will give it to you." Jack said lonely, and took out a two-finger-thick book from his arms. It was handed over to Rex, and the words [Basic Magic Common] were written on the cover.

  Rex took it curiously. The whole book was made of rough papyrus. When he opened the first page of the book, the name of the first witchcraft recorded on it was—【Magic Missile】.

Like [Matter Dissociation], [Magic Missile] is also a special type of zero-circle magic. Compared with [Ice Blade] and [Fireball], its power is much weaker. The advantage is that [Magic Missile] 】It is a purely magical creation, there is no need to prepare casting materials in advance, and there is no upper limit for manipulation.

  Theoretically, as long as the magic power is sufficient, it is not impossible to create hundreds of [Magic Missiles] at one time.

  Of course, quantity alone is useless. The energy of any Mage is limited. A Mage Trainee can make and control two or three missiles to attack at the same time.

   But it is not without a solution.

  Rex flipped the pages of the book. On the second page of "Basic Magic and Universal", a large number of graphs were drawn, and there were many ghost-like formulas below.

   After careful study, Rex roughly understood what the other party wanted to express.

  If you want to break through the control limit of [Magic Missile], you need to establish a three-dimensional coordinate in your mind centered on yourself, and then preset the flight trajectory of [Magic Missile] in advance.

  The flight trajectory can be not only a straight line, but also a curve, that is to say, the caster can create a large number of [magic missiles], forming overwhelming and irresistible barrage attacks from different directions and angles.

  This needs to involve the equations of straight lines and curves in three-dimensional space...

  Rex touched his chin, this question doesn't seem too difficult...

  Because [Magic Missile] is a purely magical creation, it is slightly affected by gravity, and only the inertial force and wind speed need to be considered.

  Seeing Rex staring at the pages of the book with great interest, Jack couldn't help but reminded him. "This is a magic formula created by the great Mage Herram, which can further increase the power of [Magic Missile], but it is too difficult for us now, so you'd better not waste too much energy on it."

   "I will pay attention." Rex glanced again, and after confirming that his thoughts were correct, he covered the pages of the book and replied freely.

  Jack saw Rex's perfunctory attitude, and shook her head helplessly. When she first came into contact with magic, she also liked to study these complicated formulas like Rex, and she didn't know herself until she hit a wall...
