Chapter 220: Chapter 152: The Second Witchcraft (2-in-1 Mega Chapter)_4
(Note: The spell duration is 3 seconds, the power is proportional to the host's spiritual power, and the closer to the core area, the greater the power. Current effective kill range: 1~3 meters.)
To be honest, the power of this sorcery was far from what Rein had anticipated.
Isn't it called a high-temperature force field?
How come it's not even a hundred degrees?
Is this considered high temperature?
Rein couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
However, Rein thought again.
He seemed to have misunderstood the temperature.
Because if you look at the definition from meteorology, a temperature over 35° is considered high.
The highest recorded temperature in the Sahara Desert from historical records is only 58°. It's important to note that many temperatures mentioned as seventy or eighty degrees refer to the surface temperature, not the air temperature.
Seventy or eighty degrees, that definitely counts as high temperature!
Moreover, if we consider human body temperature, anything over 40° is considered high temperature, so seventy or eighty degrees...
Well...
The master who named this sorcery 'high-temperature force field,' you win.
Also, Rein found out that this is a force-field type of sorcery, which lasts much longer than usual, so it consumes a lot more spiritual power each time it is used.
As the saying goes, 'Knowledge is power.'
Since it's learned, one must find the appropriate scenario to use it.
Rein soon began to consider the suitable scenarios for this sorcery.
First, for the 'high-temperature force field,' Rein felt it was quite suitable for general melee combat range.
Because the general range of melee combat between enemies is about two to three meters.
If the battle lasts over ten seconds, the opponent should be sweating profusely and start showing signs of heatstroke. Even if a knight's transcendent constitution is several times that of a normal person, the prolonged duration will inevitably lead to a significant drop in combat effectiveness!
Looked at in this way, this 'high-temperature force field' isn't so useless after all.
After pondering for a moment, Rein's face lit up with a bright smile.
Of course, there are also drawbacks. It's best to keep the enemy within a two to three-meter range during combat, and not let them get too far away or vary their distance.
Second, it is not suitable against archers or other long-range attackers.
All day long, Rein was basically studying this new sorcery 'high-temperature force field' and reading materials from the books from Adams.
Rein felt that the biggest gains weren't so much the one or two sorceries, nor the precious sorcery scrolls, but rather, it was gaining a preliminary understanding of some concepts.
For example, the concept of affinity for mysterious side energy particles, and the attitude of the empire's upper echelons toward wizards and wizard apprentices, among others.
Before this, Rein was utterly in the dark about these matters.
-----------------
The next morning, Rein and Lagaray arrived early at the town hall, accompanying Hamilton as they waited for the arrival of the church team.
Soon, a long procession arrived slowly from the direction of County Town into Flashgold Town, distinctly appearing as the team from the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church judging by their attire.
Soon, Rein spotted an old man in a blue robe with golden embroidery, holding a thick book, surrounded by silver-armored knights—it was Rudolph, the pastor they had previously dealt with.
After some pleasantries, Rein, Lagaray, and over ten Night Watchmen from Flashgold Town, riding horses, joined the team coming from County Town.
This time, Viscount Hamadi did not come, so while it was technically the team from County Town, it was almost exclusively the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church's team.
As they entered Nightingale Forest and drew closer to the target area, Rein noticed that aside from a few of the church's paladins and Pastor Rudolph, the others, particularly those from Flashgold Town who followed him, were more or less nervous.
Therefore, Rein rode up next to the Night Watchman's captain Matteo and said, "Once we reach the target area, Matteo, have everyone be careful."
"Leave the Evil Spirit Knights to those paladins from the church. Your team will handle some of the guard duties."
"Yes, sir!" Hearing Rein's arrangement, Matteo was naturally pleased.
For these ordinary people, facing mysterious events often left them powerless, and if they encountered a commander who misused them as the main force, they would be doomed to suffer heavy casualties.
Meanwhile.
On the northwest edge of Nightingale Forest.
A tall, slender female elf with jet-black hair had just arrived in Nightingale Forest, tired and dusty from her journey.
