Chapter 253: The temptation of being late on purpose

"That's all for today's explanation. These are my insights into the spiritual world mage heritage, expressed through the magic crystal ball. If my fellow mages can gain more understanding through my explanation, I will feel very proud."

Four hours passed and Zhang Bo stopped his explanation. He took a sip of a refreshing honey drink that James had arranged to bring to him. He felt the sweetness and felt happier.

There was no way to not be happy, because he found that as he explained to these human mages, their affection for him increased.

Zhang Bo could clearly see that there was a bit of admiration and recognition in the eyes of these magicians when they looked at him.

Even the older one, James, who was probably in his 40s, was quite respectful when he looked at him, and he seemed to be the leader. This made Zhang Bo very clear in his mind that if he wanted to cancel the soul contract with the elf and then conclude a contract with the humans in front of him, it would be a very simple matter.

As long as Shen Mu nods, it can turn these human mages into its spiritual followers. It is that simple, so easy and can be done smoothly.

"Thank you very much for your explanation, Mr. Zhang Bo." James thanked Zhang Bo very respectfully at this time.

"Yes, thank you very much for your explanation, respected Mr. Zhang Bo. Every time you explain, we are suddenly enlightened and it is really very useful to us. We also very much hope that you can come and explain every day." The remaining 10 Aidengard believers also thanked him very respectfully at this time.

There was no way. For them, the wizard knowledge about the spiritual world that Zhang Bo explained was quite useful. They had enriched their own magic theories through the wizard knowledge explained by Zhang Bo.

It can even be said that if Zhang Bo continues to explain, the magical knowledge they gain will support them in acquiring the second spell, or even the third one.

What these devout believers of Aidengard now possess is the slight healing power formed by the power of light.

And the killing type of sun rays formed by the condensation of light power.

As for the minor healing spell, it can of course only treat minor injuries, and it is not a very useful healing spell. However, if they work together, they can still effectively heal friendly forces.

As for the Sun Ray, it's just so-so, and its lethality is not even as good as a heavy crossbow.

The effective range is only about 20 meters. Apart from having a strong killing power against undead monsters and evil creatures, it is not a very threatening damage to enemies with armor or other protective gear.

It can even be said that if the lethality of the Yangyan Ray is compared with that of the heavy crossbow, the heavy crossbow can also carry out aimed shooting one after another, and the effective killing distance of the heavy crossbow can be extended to more than 100 meters to 200 meters.

Compared with the Yangyan Ray, whose killing range is only more than 20 meters and the maximum killing distance is only more than 50 meters, its range is much higher.

This is also the reason why Shen Mu has not sent these Aidengard believers into the battlefield.

With a killing range of only 20 meters, what would it matter even if it was deployed on the battlefield? It would be less useful than the Swadian militia using hunting crossbows!

Those Swadian militiamen who used hunting crossbows at least had the old fan-shaped shields to form a shield wall to resist the enemy's charge, and they could also use spears to form a spear phalanx to hinder the enemy's attack.

Plus the hunting crossbow has a range of more than 50 meters.

Known as the most versatile second-level soldiers in the continent of Calradia, the Swadian Militia is certainly not exaggerating.

As for comparing them with these Aidengard believers, the lowest-level first-order troops in the Aidengard Kingdom, it should be understood that if such a comparison is made, then the level of Swadian recruits is on par with them.

What is comparable?

But now it is different, these Aidengard believers and James have been conducting research here, and their research on spells itself is improving their own magic level. After all, they are living people now, not the cold NPCs and game data in the game. They can improve their magic level by learning in the real world.

This will allow his light healing spell and the damage spell Sun Ray to grow more fully.

What's more, what Zhang Bo is explaining now is the magical knowledge which is a very complete basic subject in the spiritual world. For them, the understanding is even deeper.

So they really recognize Zhang Bo.

After all, they learned about the spells of the spirit world through Zhang Bo, and later on, they had even begun to use Zhang Bo to study new spells that were created by combining the spell structures of the spirit world and the world of Mount & Blade.

The use of spells in the world of Mount & Blade is also quite subtle, although it is relatively rough, which is also caused by war. In terms of daily spell types, it is definitely not as varied and practical as the spells in the spirit world.

However, once it involves the battlefield, once it involves real fighting, the spells of the War Wind World can also be enhanced by combining these spell theories from the spiritual world.

At least according to the discussion between Aidengard's believers and James at night, they all came to the conclusion that if they were given another two or three months, perhaps they would be able to improve the spells in the War Wind World, or even split up the spells to obtain more useful spells.

And as they listened to Zhang Bo's explanation of the magic theories about the spiritual world, they had more insights in their hearts. Although they were only first-level believers of the Aiden family, they were first-level soldiers in the high magic world. If they were compared with the low magic world similar to the historical world, they were at least third-level high-level soldiers.

In other words, it is only half a step away from becoming a fourth-order military force.

The foundation is still quite strong.

"Okay, we shouldn't talk any more now. If we delay Master Zhang Bo from leaving the castle area, he will be severely punished. We can't take this responsibility for Master Zhang Bo, so let him leave here quickly."

Without further ado, James signaled to these Aidengard believers not to bother Zhang Bo anymore.

After all, if Zhang Bo is unable to leave the castle area within the specified time and remains here, he will really be punished and severely reprimanded.

If he dared to make special or incorrect moves, the Lake Rat Gang vandals guarding the castle area would not mind directly imprisoning Zhang Bo, or using their whips to let him know the consequences of daring to disobey Lord Shen Mu's orders. "Yes, I don't want to cause trouble either, so see you tomorrow." Zhang Bo still had a humble smile on his face at this time, and planned to leave without too much explanation, but when he left, he also thought of something, put the crystal ball in his backpack on the table in the library, and said to them: "This is my magic crystal ball, which has magical power. You can refer to it at will, but don't use it, because the magic structure in the magic crystal ball is too profound. Even I can only control it according to the strong mental power of the prophecy mage. As for you, I think it's better to understand the operating principle of this magic prop first."

Zhang Bo said this sincerely, and he didn't care if there was any contempt in his words.

Because this magic crystal ball does require stronger magical perception ability to control it, and the level of mental sharpness involved is not something that the current basic Shaping Mages can master.

To be honest, Zhang Bo really didn't think that these young human mages could use the magic crystal ball.

It is better to tell them in advance to avoid causing unnecessary trouble by using the magic crystal ball's functions indiscriminately.

After all, this magic crystal ball now contains the function of opening a portal at a very deep level.

It would be hilarious if they messed around and the portal got opened.

Of course, the probability of opening the portal by tinkering around is extremely small and unlikely. After all, the elders in the Wood Elf plane have extremely high levels of magic, and they are definitely not comparable to himself and the current Shaper mages.

Therefore, the hidden portal they set up, unless you know how to open it yourself, if you want others to open it, it would be as outrageous as an ordinary person using a bow to shoot a twig of a halberd on the city gate tower hundreds of meters away.

However, for Zhang Bo, he has to be on guard. If something goes wrong, he cannot afford it.

However, because his magic water planet had a good reason to stay in the library and in the castle area, he could only come up with this idea to put his magic crystal ball in the library of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council.

Otherwise, if the magic crystal ball fails to open the third portal in the castle area when the big plan is implemented, allowing more wood elf soldiers to raid in, he will be held responsible.

But it’s okay now, he has a very close relationship with these magicians, so there is no problem in finding this excuse.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Master Zhang Bo. We will always remember your contribution." James and these Aidengard believers were very grateful and nodded to Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo didn't say much. He just waved his hand and immediately left the library, walking quickly towards the gate of the castle area.

"Master Zhang Bo, in fact, you have exceeded the time limit. You should leave here quickly." The Lake Rat Gang vandals who were guarding the entrance of the library also looked at Zhang Bo with a fierce look in their eyes.

In fact, just now the 4 hours had passed and he had indeed exceeded the time limit.

"I'm very sorry. I was discussing mage knowledge with the mages just now and forgot the time for a moment. I'm very sorry. I'll leave now." Zhang Bo was also very sincere and apologized repeatedly. He didn't want to shirk responsibility at all.

"I heard you explaining and lecturing all the time, so we allow you to leave quickly during this period of time. Otherwise, if you waste more time, the consequences will be very serious. Master Zhang Bo, I hope you understand." The Lake Rat Gang saboteur pointed in the direction of the city gate to Zhang Bo, signaling him to leave quickly.

"I understand. I'll go now." Zhang Bo did not hesitate and immediately trotted towards the city gate.

And the running speed is very fast.

It took only a few minutes to reach the city gate. Seeing the two Lake Rat Gang vandals staring at him, as well as the human soldiers guarding the city wall who were also looking at him coldly, Zhang Bo broke out in a cold sweat and felt numb.

"Master Zhang Bo, hurry up, you're already late." The Lake Rat Gang saboteur who was in charge of guarding the city gate stretched out his hand and ordered the board to be lowered. At the same time, he said to Zhang Bo, who ran over breathlessly and looked very nervous, "This is the first time you're late. You didn't do this before, so don't do it next time."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Zhang Bo nodded repeatedly with a wry smile on his face, then quickly walked out of the city gate and passed through the board to the town area.

As the iron chain was pulled up, the board behind him seemed to turn into an outer city gate again, blocking the real city gate.

There was only the sound of water flowing in the canals on both sides of the city gate and hitting the moat, making a sound.

Now Zhang Bo couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. It was cold sweat, because just now he realized that if he didn't run and was not so hurried, he would definitely have a bad ending.

He had no doubt that if he dared to run in another direction, the archers on the city wall would attack him directly.

Even those tiger, rat and cat destroyers would directly draw the javelins on their backs and throw them at themselves.

They don't care about their own lives at all.

If he dared to commit any offensive behavior in the castle area, they would kill him without mercy according to the absolute ban in the castle area.

This also shows that the castle area is really quite rigorous.

However, Zhang Bo has now figured out the taboos in the castle area and really dared not have any unnecessary thoughts.

Because he was late by less than 10 minutes on purpose, because he had not calculated the time in his mind, he just wanted to see what would happen if he delayed for a while.

Seeing how serious he was now, he also considered deliberately being late to save time in the future.

Judging from the appearance of those spirit world humans, if I dare to be late again, I will probably be severely interrogated, or even my life will be threatened. (End of this chapter)
