Chapter 34 Testing (Part 1)
【Ask for collection and recommendation! 】
Outside the castle, there was a gust of cold wind, heavy snow fell with goose feathers, and the snowflakes on the ground even condensed into thin ice, but Merlin didn't feel the slightest chill at all. A thick fleece coat, wearing only a thin shirt.
The spell model of the fireball technique was finally simulated in the sea of consciousness. What Merlin had to do next was to test the power of the fireball technique.
Merlin looked around the room, the environment here was not suitable for the fireball test, so Merlin put on his coat, pushed open the door and walked out.
He remembered that in Wilson Castle, there was a secret basement, very secret and very spacious, only old Wilson, the butler and Merlin knew about this basement.
Merlin wanted to test the power of fireball, and the basement was the best place.
According to the memory in his mind, Merlin went directly to Old Wilson's room, and he gently pressed a brick on the wall, which was the mechanism of the underground passage.
"Crack."
With a crisp sound, one wall in Old Wilson's room began to gradually separate to both sides, and some dust shook off and scattered on the ground.
After a while, a dark hole appeared in front of Merlin's eyes. He reached out and picked up the candlestick on Old Wilson's table, lit a few candles on the candlestick, and walked into the hole with the help of the weak light of the candles.
The passage is very dark, and because no one has entered for a long time, there is a dull and very unpleasant smell inside, Merlin cautiously continues to walk forward.
This passage is sloping downwards. A long stone staircase leads to a place about 100 meters underground. There are also many candlesticks on both sides of the passage. Every time Merlin encounters a candlestick, he lights the candle. So after a while, this dark passage became brightly lit and very bright.
After walking for a few minutes, the stone steps finally disappeared, and Merlin came to a very spacious basement.
This basement is just a hall. Around the hall, there are more than ten small rooms, which store some swords, shields and armor.
Merlin still remembers that when he was ten years old, he was brought in several times by old Wilson. When old Wilson was building the old castle, he used the structure of some military fortresses as a reference, so there is such a place where he built it. The basement can only allow one person to enter. If there is any danger, you can hide in the basement.
If preparations are made in advance, the basement will be piled up, and the reserves in it will be enough for hundreds of people to live for a whole year.
However, after so many years, the city of Blackwater is still calm, and there is no war, so the basement is gradually abandoned.
Although the basement was deserted, it was just enough space for Merlin to test the power of fireball.
So, Merlin stood in the middle of the underground hall and began to silently feel the spell model in the sea of knowledge.
At this time, the spell model in the sea of knowledge is still slowly rotating, and there is even a trace of fire element in the ground, which is gradually integrated into the spell model.
The fire element absorbed by the spell model is the mana of the caster! The longer the spell model exists, the deeper the accumulated mana, so once the spell model is constructed in the sea of knowledge, you don't need to worry about it, the spell model will automatically accumulate mana.
Merlin carefully read the old man Aita's spell code,
I also know the method of releasing the spell. It is very simple. Just use the mental force to stimulate the spell model, and the spell can be triggered instantly.
"Fireball!"
Merlin let out a low drink, and his mental power directly stimulated the spell model of the fireball technique. Suddenly, a fireball exuding a scorching aura appeared out of thin air in the void, less than a meter away from Merlin.
Merlin was overjoyed, but he failed to control his mental power, and the fireball dissipated in the blink of an eye.
The fireball dissipated, because Merlin didn't master his mental power. After all, once the fireball was released, it also needed the caster's mental power to control it.
Although he failed the first time, Merlin was not discouraged. He summed up the lessons and released another fireball.
This time, he stably controlled the fireball with his mental power, and began to guide the small fireball to fly around tremblingly in the air.
"Bang".
The fireball slammed into the hard wall. The fist-sized fireball seemed to contain great power, causing the hard wall to tremble slightly, and leaving a half-inch hole in the wall. , that is the pothole burned by the fireball.
Just like this, it can't really reflect the power of the fireball technique. Merlin took out a piece of heavy armor from the inventory in the basement. This is the standard equipment of heavy armor knights. Once put on, those sharp knight spears are all Cannot pierce heavy armor.
It was natural for Merlin to use this heavy armor to test the power of the fireball technique.
He hung the heavy armor on the wall, but instead of continuing to use the fireball technique, he sat down and began to rest.
Merlin rubbed his head slightly with both hands. He had just used the fireball technique twice when he realized that the mana accumulated on the spell model had been used up. If he wanted to use the fireball technique again, he could only cast it after he had recovered his mana.
Looking at the spell model in the sea of knowledge, absorbing the fire element from the outside world bit by bit, Merlin pondered and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the time to build the spell model is still short, and it can only be released. Fireball twice."
Merlin had nothing to do with the scarcity of mana. The accumulation of mana could only rely on the accumulation of spell models for a long time, and there was no shortcut.
After an hour, the spell model slowly recovered, and Merlin could finally release fireball again.
"go!"
Merlin released the fireball technique again. This time he was already familiar with the fireball technique, so he quickly cast the fireball technique. He controlled the small fireball in front of him and smashed the heavy piece on the wall. First.
"Chichi".
There was no loud noise as expected, the chest with the strongest defense on the heavy armor, a thick chest piece, was directly burned by a small fireball to create a big hole the size of a fist, and there was still a trace around the hole. Silky light smoke.
"hiss".
Even Merlin couldn't help taking a deep breath. He was surprised. Although he expected that the power of the fireball technique would definitely be extraordinary, he didn't expect it to be so strong.
This is a heavy armor made of fine iron, and its defense is top-notch in armor, and it can't even pierce a knight's spear.
But even the heavy armor with such a strong defense was easily pierced by the fireball technique. The small fireball released by Merlin contained a terrifying temperature.
"Huh? What is this?"
Merlin came back to his senses, and when he checked the spell model in the sea of knowledge, he suddenly made a new discovery.
