I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Compared with extending the duration of a spell, "spell delay" that delays the time when a spell takes effect is a bit confusing.

It adds a concept called "timing" to spells, which can delay the modified spell for up to half a minute before it takes effect. It is generally used to predict the occurrence of specific situations.

However, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and a simple delay in taking effect is very likely to cause the spell target to be lost during this period of time - all factors of the delayed spell need to be determined at the beginning of the spell casting.

It can only be said to be a matter of opinion.

Chen Zhou is not a genius who knows everything, but the casting time of the water-making spell is very short, so it is suitable for "chaining" with other spells.

For example... use "Snow Mist" to create an environment suitable for ice warlocks to cast spells, use the shortest time to cast the delayed "Water Creation (Ice)", and then use wild arcane magic to cast "Wind Creation".

At a low level, he may not be able to show much. When he becomes stronger and learns a series of magic such as "spell sequence" and "triggering", he will be able to achieve the greatest effect in the shortest time.

This is a school of spellcasting called "constructed magic", which divides magic into several types:

1. "Environmental" magic with long duration and wide range of influence can create a good environment for the spells you are good at.

2. The casting time is short, it is not easy to be countered, and it is a "activation" magic that can quickly unfold the magic of a specific system.

3. "Terminal" magic that is easy to cast after meeting the conditions, powerful, and can seal the victory with one blow.

On top of this, the process of casting spells can be further subdivided, but generally it cannot be separated from the ideas of activation, expansion, termination, and suppression.

Since the decisive magic that can determine the victory is often too cumbersome and difficult to use, how to cast it faster has become the core of every spellcaster.

"Why does it feel so much like playing cards?"

"A spellcaster's battle is basically like playing cards."

I heard that in a world called Golarion, there is a Harrow card master who specializes in playing cards and casting spells...

Chen Zhou was thoughtful, but he hesitated when he wanted to speak. Chen Zhou suddenly realized!

He thought to himself, he might not know how to cast spells, but he definitely knew how to play cards better than any spell caster!

“Great, I’m starting to understand everything!”

At this moment, he thought that he seemed to have transformed from a beginner spellcaster who knew nothing about it to a master of magic!

But whether the facts are really as smooth as imagined still needs to be further verified in practice...

……

The next morning, the heavy rain that lasted for two days finally subsided, leaving only occasional showers.

Chen Zhou, who had been practicing water making at home all night, just came downstairs and noticed that the atmosphere in the lobby was a bit strange. For some reason, Wright was sitting with Maple Leaf and Dried Tofu.

"Tom, come here." Gaster looked seriously and called him to the corner.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to the diners, Gaster revealed a confidential piece of information.

It turned out that after Maple Leaf and Gan Tofu transferred the Kuo Tao fishman scouts to the guards yesterday, someone speculated from the marks on the fishmen that the location before coming to Haichao Town was probably a coastal cave under a cliff far away from the town.

Considering that most of the Kuo-Tao fishmen move in groups, there may be more fishmen hiding in coastal caves and using them as bases to attack towns.

However, the coast after heavy rain is not suitable for large troop operations, and it is easy to expose the target and scare away the enemy. If the time is delayed for too long, the operation may be in vain.

The guards issued a mission at White Eagle's Rest, hoping that adventurers would go to the coastal caves to attack the Kuo-Tao fishmen at night at the latest tonight!

"I see."

Looking back at the three people who were already discussing tactics, Chen Zhou realized that the tavern owner had found his purpose: "You want me to take over this task?"

"Isn't this a good opportunity to show your strength to Baron Adolf?" Gaster said with a heart-to-heart look, "If this is done, I will definitely have a good job under Baron!"

"Ugh……"

Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. If Gast had said this a few days ago, he would definitely not even give him a thumbs up.

But now that there is pressure from the "immortal beast", he may really have to get involved in some dangerous situations.

After Maple Leaf and Gan Tofu completed the side mission last night, "Life Plan" not only returned the 60 points of XP that had been temporarily withheld, but even gained an additional 60 points.

In other words, as long as he has enough XP, he has a chance to benefit from each other.

He sends tasks, players are happy, players get XP back, and he can also unlock more knowledge he wants to learn.

When you are short of money one day, you can even use XP to ask players to issue daily tasks in exchange for gold...

"Anyway, fighting can stimulate the origin of your magic. Just go and get rid of the fishmen in the coastal cave."

Even Jerry recommended it.

Chen Zhou, who lamented the impermanence of the world, nodded and finally accepted the task.

Due to the long distance and the fact that the world channel is only unlocked at level 5, only two players, Maple Leaf and Gan Tofu, participated in this mission.

Wright, who calls himself a warrior, is a bit hard to describe. At least Chen Zhou doesn't have any expectations for him.

Maple Leaf: I really didn’t expect that there would be an NPC leading the team in the first dungeon. The NPC shouldn’t share our experience, right?

Stewed frozen dried tofu: No, but if we die, he won't wait for us to survive.

What can be expected is that if the two of them died in the depths, someone would have probably killed the copy by the time they came back after being resurrected.

Maple Leaf: Huh? Aren't the NPCs in this type of dungeon usually just scratching the surface?

Stewed frozen dried tofu: Not available in this game.

Even NPCs and dungeons are one-time use, and every mission and dungeon is "unique".

Seeing Gan Doufu's explanation, Maple Leaf immediately made the decision to paddle behind and call 666.

Survival from beginning to end is considered a victory!

"By the way, boss, can you help me prepare a handy weapon?"

Since I plan to take risks, I naturally have to be fully prepared: "Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to fight too many enemies with my bare hands."

"Tom, do you really have no weapons?" Gaster looked in disbelief.

Chen Zhou spread his hands: "I didn't plan to fight when I came to the south, so I didn't bring the guy who took advantage of me (referring to the fishing rod)."

"..."

Gaster suddenly began to feel that this Khajiit warrior who claimed to be a wandering bard was a bit unreliable.

In any case, in order to ensure the success rate of the mission, the well-connected veteran still got him a weapon.

A long bronze wooden stick about two meters long and five centimeters wide was said to have been seized from an extreme druid who attacked the town.

This kind of wood has the hardness and flexibility of metal, but is slightly lighter. Druids who cannot use metal items often use bronze wood instead of real metal.

Weighing the wooden stick, which weighed several dozen kilograms, Chen Zhou felt suddenly filled with a sense of security.
