Again, Liu Xing has always felt that the magic in the Cthulhu Run game is basically useless, because these magics either have harsh conditions for use, low success rates, or have unsatisfactory effects.
For example, the fireball technique used by Rei Ishikawa sounds pretty good, because in many fantasy or movie and TV series, the fireball technique can be said to have a high appearance rate and the effect is not bad.
However, because this is the world of a Cthulhu team game, the fireball technique seems very useless.
First of all, Liu Xing can now see that the fireball technique requires a certain amount of casting time, and for an apprentice-level magician like Ishikawa Ling, the effect of the fireball technique is almost the same as that of a lighter. . .
The most important thing is that the upper limit of the development of fireball is still too low, because even as a named magician in the world view of Cthulhu Mythos, the power of the fireball in Serac's hand is equivalent to that of a grenade. This power To be honest, it's really not that good.
And don’t forget, the background of Cthulhu Running Group games is basically in modern times, so Liu Xing can now find connections to get a batch of grenades, pistols, etc. These modern weapons are more convenient and faster than fireball. Bar.
Therefore, Liu Xing feels that Ishikawa Ling's fireball technique can only be described as useless, because according to the current game rhythm, when Ishikawa Ling can have the same strength as his cheap master Serac, he will have already organized a team by then He is privately armed. When the time comes for him to fight Ishikawa Rei, he will most likely win.
Of course, Yin En also understood this, and could see that Liu Xing was perfunctory, or trying to comfort himself, but since "Ishikawa Ling" didn't know this and was still proud of being a magician, Yin En I can only choose to ignore this.
"Okay, now I'm going to show you my last spell, leader. Although this spell won't have any substantial effect, it is very powerful. So leader, are you interested in guessing the last spell I learned?" What is a spell?" Ishikawa Ling said with a smile.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. Based on these descriptions of Ishikawa Ling, the last spell that Ishikawa Ling learned from the magician Serak might not be simple.
Therefore, Liu Xing said with great interest: "Oh, it seems that Ling Ishikawa, have you found a treasure from the magician Serac? Then let me guess, if the spell you learned will not cause substantial effect, it means that the spell you learn will not be an offensive spell such as fireball or ice arrow, nor will it be an auxiliary spell such as ice armor or recovery, so I guess Ishikawa Rei The last spell you learn will probably be something related to the mind, such as mind reading."
The reason why Liu Xing guessed that what Ishikawa Ling learned is mind reading is because mind reading is a relatively low-level spell, which is more consistent with the light ball and fireball skills that Ishikawa Ling has already mentioned, and mind reading is also very consistent with what Ishikawa Ling just introduced. .
However, Ishikawa Ling shook his head and pretended to be mysterious and said: "Master, you guessed it wrong, and Master, you underestimated me a little bit. I don't even bother to learn such low-level spells as mind reading. After all, It would be better for me to study psychology in college than to learn this mind-reading skill, so I will reveal the answer now. In fact, the last spell I learned from the magician Serak was the legendary prophecy!"
Prophecy? !
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at Ishikawa Ling in surprise.
You must know that no matter what game you play, prophecy can be said to be the top spell. Although prophecy cannot have any substantial effect, it can almost make people predict what will happen in the future. The caster is now invincible.
Even in the Cthulhu Run game, as long as there is no existence of Nyarlathotep's level to disrupt the situation, Ishikawa Ling, who can predict the future, basically does not have to worry about being ripped off, because Ishikawa Ling can predict In each module, you have to figure out what you can do to pass the level, and how you can avoid triggering plot kills.
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation. In fact, Ishikawa Rei will definitely not be able to achieve a 100% prophecy success rate, and Ishikawa Rei will not have so many MPs to perform prophecy spells enough times.
But then again, as long as Ishikawa Ling can successfully perform a prophecy at a critical moment in a module, it will be a sure profit.
Therefore, what Liu Xing wants to know most now is what kind of prophecy skill Ishikawa Ling learned from the magician Serak. After all, even if it is a spell with the same name, because the creator of the spell is different, the specific meaning of the spell is The effect will be different.
Therefore, Liu Xing asked with great anticipation: "If this is the case, what is the success rate of your prediction technique, Ishikawa Ling? Do you want to predict it now?"
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Ishikawa Ling smiled awkwardly and said with a troubled face: "Well, in fact, leader, you should be able to guess that I have just become a magician, so my strength is only In that case, saying that I am not good at learning is flattering me, because I have only learned this prophecy technique for a few hours, so although I should be able to use prophecy now, I cannot guarantee the success rate of prophecy, or that I don’t know if the results of the prophecy are correct.”
As Ishikawa Ling spoke, he sent an introduction to the prophecy technique to Liu Xing.
Prophecy (Serak version), the prophecy technology that Serac, the master of Ebon, studied with great concentration after receiving the guidance of the old ruler, Tsathogua. However, because this prophecy technology is still in the most basic version, so The effect is subject to discussion, so when using this prophecy, the player will consume 5 MP points and chant a spell for 50 minutes, and then the player will get a prophecy message. As for the accuracy of this prophecy message, please decide by yourself. judge.
. . .
Liu Xing looked at the introduction of this prophecy technique with a black line on his face.
To put it simply, this prophecy is basically a sinkhole, a complete secret operation, because this prophecy does not even have a success rate marked.
In other words, to put it bluntly, this prophecy is a secret projection throughout the process, only giving you one result for you to guess. From a certain perspective, this prophecy is useless at all.
But again, although Liu Xing and Yin En, as players, can infer from the introduction of this prophecy that this prophecy has little practical use, "Ishikawa Ling" does not know, so now "Ishikawa Ling" played by Yin En Ling", and was very proud of himself for having learned such a powerful spell as prophecy.
See through, don’t tell.
Moreover, Liu Xing was able to extract a piece of information from the introduction of this prophecy that was important or unimportant, that is, at this time, the magician Serac was already involved with Tsathogya.
The reason why this information is not important is because this information has no meaning to Liu Xing, because Liu Xing feels that he will not meet the magicians Serac and Satogua; and if this information is important, then naturally It's for Yin En, because it can be concluded now that the world mission Yin En accepts will definitely be related to Tsathogya.
At the beginning, Liu Xing felt that Yin En's world mission should be related to Yi Bo En, either becoming friends with Yi Bo En, or replacing Yi Bo En. Now it seems that Yin En's world mission is actually still It has nothing to do with Tsathogya.
And Liu Xing is also struggling with a problem now, that is, in his world mission, whether he will come into contact with Cthulhu or Hastur in the end. After all, his enemy is a believer in Cthulhu, and "he" is Hastur. Believers of the Tower, so it is possible to finally come into contact with Cthulhu and Hastur. . . Or come into contact with Cthulhu and Hastur at the same time. . .
Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt that it was better not to think so far, because this was really a bit unfounded. After all, if you want to see Mr. Ke, you must at least enter the Cthulhu area, and now can you advance to the Hounds of Tindalos area? It's all a problem.
Therefore, Liu Xing shook his head and said to Ishikawa Ling: "Well, Ishikawa Ling, your prediction technique still needs to be tried before you know the effect, so how about you try it after you have breakfast? Predict how Yui Matsui will deal with us."
When Ishikawa Ling heard what Liu Xing said, he immediately felt confident. He patted his chest and said, "Well, since you have said so, leader, I will try this prophecy technique later. But according to the According to my master Serac, the incantation required for this prophecy is very long, so it will take about an hour to prepare, and then I will need you, the leader, to cover me."
Just as Liu Xing was about to nod, he heard footsteps going downstairs. It seemed that Dogo Aige was taking Panda Pig and Alice downstairs.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs first, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Dogo Aige and Alice." Liu Xing said.
After all, it always feels a little weird to be alone and alone in the same room.
Ever since, Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling went downstairs together after hearing that Doge Aige and the others arrived in the living room on the first floor.
At this time, the living room on the first floor was already full of people, and Zhang Jingxu, Lu Tianya, and Miyako Wutong, who were the first to come down, sat at the outermost edge of the table in a tacit understanding, forming a wall with their bodies, blocking many people. Goeg and Alice may be looking at the brazier.
Of course, Dogo Aige and Alice did not notice anything unusual about the brazier, so they did not stay in the living room for a long time. They casually said a few words to Liu Xing and others and then left directly.
After Dogegeg and Alice left, everyone showed great interest in Ishikawa Ling who had just returned, and asked what happened to Ishikawa Ling in Hybrier.
So, Ishikawa Ling took out his lighter and said to Panda Pig: "Mr. Panda Pig, I really want to thank you this time. When I was forcibly summoned to Hyboril, I happened to be holding your lighter in my hand. I didn’t expect this lighter to be of great help to me, or to say it saved my life!”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that a lighter could save Ishikawa Ling's life. However, after thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing seemed to have guessed the role of this lighter.
Ishikawa Ling continued: "The situation is like this. When I returned to Hyperion, it was in the evening. As soon as I recovered, I was called to the cafeteria by my friend next to me, where my cheap master Serac was Give a speech, and the content of the speech is that the first round of the knockout round of the Mage Tower has begun, and the content of the knockout round is very simple, that is, Serac begins to teach us the fireball technique."
Having said this, Ishikawa Ling used the fireball technique. No one sneezed this time, so the small fireball in Ishikawa Ling's hand still looked like the same thing.
Of course, Ishikawa Ling also knew that his little fireball was strong on the outside but strong on the inside, so in order to avoid accidents, Ishikawa Ling automatically extinguished the small fireball.
Then, Rei Ishikawa continued: "Although I learned the fireball spell at the beginning, I was too nervous at the time, so I was unable to use the fireball spell. After all, this round of knockout will be Eliminate half of the apprentices, and according to the previous guesses of Meteor and I, the eliminated apprentices are likely to become Serac's experimental subjects for magic research, and they are basically mortal."
"Due to too much psychological pressure, many of my attempts ended in failure, and the apprentice named Ibon sitting next to me was the first to successfully cast the fireball technique, which made me even more upset. After all, This is like taking a very important exam, and it is restricted that only the candidates who successfully submit the paper first can pass, so when you are still thinking hard about the paper, if someone hands in the paper in front of you in advance, it will definitely make you feel uncomfortable. You start to get upset, worried that the candidates behind you will hand in papers one after another.”
"So, it can be said that my mentality exploded at that time. I was thinking that if I couldn't come back here, would you be implicated in my sudden disappearance? Just when I was thinking about something. , and found that there was a lighter in his pocket."
"I almost laughed out loud at that time, because the goal of this elimination round was to use fireball. However, because the power of fireball used by magician apprentices is very limited, there were some easily ignited in front of us apprentices. Hay, as long as these hay are ignited, the fireball technique will be successfully used."
"So, I found a suitable time. When no one noticed me, I used a lighter to light the hay, and then pretended that I had successfully used the fireball technique, and successfully concealed it from Seth. Lark, but everyone knows that there will always be some noise when using a lighter, so I was noticed by Ebon."
