Chapter 21 The Difference Between Magic and Dou Qi
The second-level extraordinary unit refers to the intermediate knight, intermediate magician or second-level magic beast.
At this moment, Roning happened to have a mid-level magician in his hand, which was a real second-level extraordinary unit.
If he kills the other party with his own hands, he can immediately complete the advanced achievement of [King of Killing].
Roning thought about it and walked towards McKen.
"How is this magician? Is he still honest?"
Macon chuckled, "He struggled at first, but after being tied up, he couldn't be disobedient."
At this moment, the magician's hands and feet have been tied tightly, and there is a guard next to him with a sword at his neck. If his body twists violently, a piece of flesh might fall off.
Luo Ning squatted a few steps in front of the other person, "What's your name?"
The magician ignored Ronin's words.
"Answer me honestly, and maybe I'll consider sparing your life."
After hearing this, the magician looked at Roning seriously and said, "Boy from the Wushan family, will you really let me go?"
"Oh? You recognized me?"
"Haha, I recognize the golden mountains carved on the carriage. If my guess is correct, you should be Ronin, the useless eldest son of that useless Earl Wiggins, right?"
"be honest!"
Mikan tapped the other man's face with his sword, signalling him to speak more politely.
Luo Ning raised the corner of his mouth.
He didn't expect Wiggins' reputation outside to be so bad that any assassin would dare to call him a waste.
"Yes, I am Ronin."
He said, "We have no grudge against each other, and I also like to communicate with magicians. Now, Mr. Magician, you just need to answer my questions well, and I will consider letting you go."
"Huh, how much can you trust the nobles' words?" the magician said disdainfully.
He changed the subject again, "But I really want to hear what you want to ask."
"I saw that you didn't perform any special movements when you cast magic just now. When a magician casts a spell, doesn't he need to chant and recite the magic incantation?"
"Chant?"
"A magic spell?"
The magician laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous. "They say that the eldest grandson of the Wushan family is as stupid as his father. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."
"With all the resources of the Marquis, you don't even know what a magician or a spell is? Didn't your teacher teach you the difference between a knight and a magician?"
Luo Ning was a little embarrassed. He really had no such memories in his mind.
I don't know if there is no one to teach it or if the previous incarnation didn't learn it.
"Then please tell me." Luo Ning said.
"Hahaha, hahaha~"
The magician suddenly laughed wildly. "I just like to see you nobles begging in a low voice. But unfortunately, I don't care to communicate with nobles, let alone stupid people."
Having said this, he kept silent.
Luo Ning's face darkened, and he went up and kicked the other person, directly breaking his nose and causing blood to flow all over his face.
"Will you tell me?"
The other party still didn't reply.
Roning was too lazy to take action and looked to McKen, who understood and squatted down and held the other's palm tightly. With a crunching sound, the metacarpal bones were crushed, and the magician let out a heart-wrenching scream.
This scene made the surrounding guards tremble with fear. They didn't expect that the Baron would be such a cruel person. He would beat or cripple anyone he wanted.
In fact, Luo Ning didn't want to do that. He also wanted to be a good guy, but the other party didn't allow it.
After McKen's torment, perhaps unable to bear the heart-wrenching pain, the magician finally spoke.
The magician's name is Pedro. He joined the Skull and Bones Society in order to earn a lot of gold coins. He is currently an investigator of the Skull and Bones Society.
The so-called investigators can be understood as informal employees. They can become formal employees only after taking on and completing a sufficient number of tasks.
Just like this time, the assassination of the heir and daughter of the Green family was a task received from above.
However, when Roning asked about the employer information of this mission, Pedro said that the investigators did not have access to such information.
Luo Ning suspected that what the other party said was true and false. After all, he was a killer, and those who knew would know.
Of course, none of this matters; he is more concerned about fighting skills and magic.
With Pedro's introduction, he gained a certain understanding.
Simply put, fighting skills utilize the knight's own energy, that is, fighting spirit;
while magic is based on one's own mental strength and magic power, mobilizing the elemental power between heaven and earth.
Compared with these two professions, becoming a knight is relatively simple, but in terms of the power of fighting skills and magic, the latter is more powerful, has a wider range, and has a stronger effect.
As for combat effectiveness, it is difficult to compare if they are at the same level, as both can be killed by the other, so it mainly depends on experience.
After Pedro's introduction, Roning had a preliminary understanding of how a magician casts spells.
To cast a spell, the magician needs to use his mental strength and magic power to draw the "spell pattern" corresponding to each spell.
When the spell patterns are completed, the elements of heaven and earth will accept the magician's "commands". At this time, the magician can use his mental power to control these elements of heaven and earth to form spells and finally cast them.
The chanting and magic spells that Ronin thought of did not exist.
When a magician has enough magic power, he only needs to be familiar with and be able to use his mental strength and magic power to draw the spell patterns according to the correct nodes and lines, and he can basically cast the spell.
Roning finally understood that the pattern on the parchment represented the spell patterns of each spell.
"What about this?"
Luo Ning took out the semi-finished parchment and asked, "What is this semi-finished product?"
"This is a spell scroll..."
Pedro's voice was weak. "A magician with stable mental strength can replicate the spell patterns on the fur of magical beasts. When needed, they only need to use mana or fighting spirit to use the scroll and cast the spell quickly."
Magic scrolls are very rare. A second-level wind blade scroll can probably be sold for more than a dozen gold coins.
The scroll of the contract with the Warcraft in the space ring can be considered a kind of spell scroll, and its value is incomparably expensive.
Suddenly, Luo Ning had an idea——
When his strength is sufficient, will he be able to make more contract scrolls by referring to the contract scroll in his hand?
As a result, he became more and more interested in how to make spell scrolls.
"Can you make spell scrolls?"
He thought about whether he could capture Pedro and bring him back to the territory. The other party would be responsible for making the scrolls, and he would be responsible for selling them.
Who would have thought that Pedro shook his head and said, "My mental power output is not very stable. I often make mistakes when carving spell patterns. I can't do it."
"Oh."
Luo Ning looked at the semi-finished product in his hand and guessed that this was the waste left behind when the other party failed in production.
He turned over the piece of leather in his hand and realized that it was probably not sheepskin.
"What are the materials used to make spell scrolls?"
"You have so many questions... ah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mikan struck his broken palm, causing the magician to scream.
"Macon, be gentle." Roning reminded.
"Yes, sir. I will pay attention to it."
After a long pause, Pedro said weakly:
"You need to use the skin of a monster of the same level for the scroll, and you can use the blood of the monster mixed with magic core powder or magic crystal stone powder to carve the spell patterns."
"But, making spell scrolls places very high demands on the magician. It requires the magician's mental and mana output to be very stable and balanced. At the same time, the magician must have absolute concentration!"
After saying this, Pedro gasped.
The magician's physique is not strong, to begin with, and after being tortured by McKen, Pedro has long had enough of the excruciating pain.
"Give...give me a quick death!"
He knew that the noble in front of him would most likely not let him go.
"OK."
Ronin stood up and drew his sword.
He never thought of letting the other party go. After all, the other party was an assassin who dared to kill people for money. He couldn't guarantee that after he let the other party go, the other party would not turn around and kill him.
In addition, letting the other party go would be difficult to explain to the Green family.
But then again, there was a moment when Roning did wonder whether he could recruit such a talent for his own use.
But after thinking about it, he decided to give up. Luo Ning didn't think that he had such a domineering aura that he could make others loyal to him just by exuding it a little.
A killer like Pedro... is hard to control.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Pedro. Perhaps one day, I will become a great magician. At that time, I will still be grateful for your enlightenment."
Chi!
The long sword swept across, ending the magician's life.
