Chapter 134: Cloak of Apparatus and Shadow (Add More)
Colonel Vassar's sad yet rational words quelled the debate on the battlefield, and the negotiation quickly reached a consensus with the joint efforts of both parties.
The Cold-Blooded Tribe will withdraw to the Everglades and pay a large sum of money to the Durning Town Council for the unjust war they started.
As the war came to an end, Weiss, who had avenged his vengeance, could finally end his life in exile, return to his hometown to inherit his father's career, and become the new patriarch and chief elder of the cold-blooded tribe.
Weiss did not forget the human friends who helped him when he was in trouble, and offered to establish a closer offensive and defensive alliance with Delin Town. From now on, not only will the Lizardmen clan not invade Delin Town again, but if Delin Town is invaded by other forces—such as the Goblin Clan from the "Screaming Tribe"—Wess and his tribe will fulfill their duties as allies , defend against powerful enemies together with the residents of Delin Town.
On the night of the end of the war, the survivors held a grand bonfire party in the town square to celebrate the arrival of peace.
Joan did not attend the celebration that night. Those who are familiar with him know that this young mage is withdrawn by nature, and he never likes to participate in social activities, so it is not surprising that he is absent.
In fact, apart from his personality, Joan had a more realistic reason for his absence from the banquet. It was less than a week before the start of school at Leiden College. In order to arrive at the school within the stipulated time limit to attend the entrance ceremony for new students, Joan was going to leave for Leiden Harbor early tomorrow morning, so he had to pack his bags tonight.
Qiao An didn't tidy up until midnight, and sat at the desk to take a rest. The bonfire in the square made the night sky as bright as day, and the aroma of barbecue and people's laughter and laughter drifted into the window with the night wind, but Joan's heart did not fluctuate.
The young mage had seen many incisive sentences describing loneliness and loneliness in the book. For example, "Loneliness is only one fish in the pond, and loneliness is nothing in the pond", such as "True loneliness is not living alone in the crowd, but being alone in the crowd", and a lonely philosopher said: "A person can either Alone, or mediocre."
These epigrams sound reasonable, but Joan thinks that they are not thorough enough to describe his peaceful mood when he looks at the happy crowd in the square through the window. In his opinion, the greatest luck or misfortune of a truly lonely person is that he does not experience "loneliness" at all, just like him at the moment, neither envious nor despised the people gathered together, just like the celebration crowd in the square It is no different from the starry sky, the gurgling river, and the woods swaying in the wind. Its existence is just an objective scenery. Sometimes it makes Joan feel pleasing to the eye, and sometimes it makes him upset, but it does not touch the scene and breed the so-called loneliness. feel.
Qiao An also analyzed his own strange psychology, and finally had to admit that his "social personality" was not sound enough. This may be due to bereavement since childhood, lack of parental care and education, or it may be because of his "different personality". Strange blood" has some kind of anti-social innate characteristics.
It's not that Joan doesn't know what "loneliness" is at all, it's just that living in isolation, which others regard as loneliness, is a kind of pleasant enjoyment, a kind of faint happiness for him. The only form of "loneliness" that really made him unbearable was watching good times go to waste with nothing to do—perhaps "boring" would be a better term.
Joan doesn't envy the people celebrating in the square, because he doesn't feel bored at the moment, on the contrary, there is something that can bring him great joy waiting for him to do.
Joan suddenly had a strange feeling: Although his body was far away from the crowd, the happiness in his heart at this moment was completely equivalent to the happiness that people experienced at the celebration banquet, so even though he did not participate in it, he was the same as the people celebrating in the square. There is no gap between people.
Joan raised his teacup and saluted in the direction of the bonfire, as if toasting to the celebrating people, then withdrew his thoughts and focused on appraising the magic cloak spread on the table.
The texture of this cloak peeled off from Cottard is as soft as fine velvet. The outer surface of the cloak is as black as night, and the inner lining is as white as snow—black and white are exactly the two favorite colors of Joan.
Using the analysis function of runes, Joan quickly identified that the cloak was made with the 2-ring arcane "transposition".
Possession is probably one of the lowest level teleportation spells, with which the caster can instantaneously switch places with a creature nearby. If the opponent is not willing to switch positions, and tries to resist the "shifting" with his own willpower, the spellcasting may fail.
Qiao An is currently unable to learn "Shifting and Repositioning", so he can only copy this level 2 spell in the spell book first, and learn it later when he upgrades his level. Fortunately, the "shifting cloak" has a similar function. It can trigger "shifting" 3 times a day, and it will take a day and night to refill the magic power after it is exhausted.
After transcribing "Shape Shifting", Joan picked up a blood-red trident and placed it on the table. This "Cold-Blooded Trident" is a sacred object of the Lizardman tribe, and it is also a symbol of the patriarch's authority. Originally belonged to Mirik, the father of Weiss, Cottal captured the Cold-Blooded Trident after assassinating Elder Mirik, and used this powerful magic weapon to kill Captain Daniel in the battle that ended not long ago. After the battle, the cold-blooded trident was handed over to Weiss by Major Vasa. This handover ceremony symbolized that Weiss would inherit his father's legacy and become the new patriarch of the cold-blooded tribe.
After the handover ceremony, Joan borrowed the trident from Weiss, and confessed that out of curiosity, he wanted to analyze the enchanting function of the cold-blooded trident.
Weiss generously lent the Cold-Blooded Trident to Joan, and the only request was not to damage this significant weapon.
The next thing Joan has to do is very simple - draw the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the cold-blooded trident, and analyze the spell enchanted in this weapon. This project took about an hour, and Joan successfully extracted two spells from the cold-blooded trident, namely the 2-ring "pullback weapon" and the 3-ring "vampire's touch".
As the name suggests, the "pullback weapon" is attached to the weapon that can be thrown. After throwing, you only need to recite a mantra, and the weapon will automatically fly back to the owner's hand in response to the owner's call. The old dwarf Flint Anvil's warhammer has this spell permanently. In the future, Joan can also use this spell to create weapons with the "pull back" attribute.
"Vampire's Touch" is a rather evil necromantic spell. Its attack method is similar to "Electric Claw". It transmits "negative energy" by touching the enemy, causing damage to the opponent and absorbing its essence to enhance the caster's own energy. The vitality, the style of harming others and benefiting oneself is exactly the same as that of vampires, no wonder this spell is named "Vampire's Touch".
