Chapter 239: Conditions of Use

Although Magic Cannons are formidable, not just anyone can use them.

First, every Magic Cannon corresponds to a specific magic, such as Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven, Heart Piercing Wave, Water Dragon Roar, and so on.

This requires the user's attribute to be consistent with the magic attribute of the Magic Cannon.

For example, with these two Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven Magic Cannons, to trigger them to unleash an attack, one needs a Fire Attribute Knight or Magician to inject Battle Qi or Magic Power into them.

Fire is fire, wind is wind, water is water.

Second, the consumption required to trigger these Magic Cannons to launch an attack is extremely high.

For a Level 6 Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven Magic Cannon, a Peak Silver Knight at full capacity can only use it three to five times;

for a Level 7 Heart Piercing Wave Magic Cannon, a Peak Golden Knight at full capacity can only use it two to three times.

As for Magic Crystals, their meager amount of energy is completely insufficient to power such magic weapons.

Unless there were a device capable of gathering the energy from a large pile of Magic Crystals to inject into the Magic Cannon for use.

However, such a device does not yet exist.

Lulansi picked up a bow at his side, pulled the bowstring, and then released it, producing a "twang" sound.

"This is a powerful bow; when paired with standard arrows, the effective lethal range can reach about one hundred meters."

As he spoke, he picked up an arrow from the side.

"But this is not an ordinary arrow; it has the Wind Attribute magic Speed inscribed on it, which can increase its effective lethal range to three hundred meters. If one can pull this bow to its full draw, it can even reach four hundred meters."

Luoning curiously picked up an arrow; on the dark red shaft was inscribed the Speed Spell Pattern he was familiar with.

"Aren't Spell Patterns only supposed to be drawn on Magic Beast Leather? How can they be inscribed on ordinary arrows?"

"It seems you have become much more studious than before, to actually know so much about Spell Patterns."

Lulansi said, then suddenly realized something.

Wubei Territory has a Light Attribute Magician capable of crafting Healing Spell Scrolls, so Luoning is naturally very knowledgeable about these things.

"This type of arrow must have undergone special treatment, though I don't know much about the specifics of how it's processed."

Lulansi does not know everything; regarding magic-related knowledge, he only understands the basics.

Luoning made some calculations in his mind; when he has time later, he will go to the Magic Chamber of Commerce to take a look, or visit Dean Milosilafu at the Wushan Extraordinary Academy to inquire about knowledge in this area.

An arrow with an effective range of three hundred meters, and with the bonus of the Speed magic, its power is definitely not weak.

A Wind Attribute Intermediate Knight could use it to inflict damage on flying Magic Beasts.

If he finds a way, he could also craft some for the knights of Wubei Territory, increasing the territory's air defense capabilities to a certain extent.

However, it seems the only Wind Attribute Intermediate Knights in the territory are Kelami and Babulin; others cannot use them yet.

Luoning picked up a bow again and pulled it; for an Intermediate Knight, pulling it halfway should be about right, and he estimated that only an Advanced Knight could pull it to full draw.

Arrows of this level should be no problem for dealing with ordinary flying Magic Beasts, but against a dragon like Kaierluosi, unless it hits the vulnerable eyes to cause some discomfort, it likely wouldn't pose much of a threat otherwise.

Next, Luoning looked at the spears placed to the side.

They are not meant for knights to hold as weapons, but are similar to Speed Arrows, only requiring a specialized launcher to be fired.

And compared to arrows, the Speed Spear has a longer attack range and greater power!

For a Griffin, the Magic Cannon is the most threatening, followed by the spear, and finally the Speed Arrow.

This was the answer Lulansi gave Luoning.

"You have the Fire Attribute, and your subordinates also have the Fire Attribute. When you return to Wubei Territory this time, take a Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven Magic Cannon with you so that your Wubei Territory's defensive capabilities will be a bit stronger."

In Lulansi's view, Wubei Territory is close to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and if flying Magic Beasts were to attack the castle, Luoning would truly have a hard time dealing with them.

"This... isn't this a bit too valuable?"

Luoning scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

The selling price of a Magic Cannon is already higher than a Magic Scroll of the same level, let alone a high-level Magic Cannon like this.

A Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven Spell Scroll sells for two thousand gold coins, but the price of this Magic Cannon reaches a full one hundred thousand gold coins!

Lulansi's gift is truly getting bigger and bigger.

"Since I bought the Magic Cannon, I've only used it twice during the Battle of Mist City, and it has just been gathering dust in Wushan Castle ever since. If you take it, it might actually be of some use."

Lulansi said with a smile: "If something that threatens Wushan Castle truly happens, you, as the Viscount of Wubei Territory, have an obligation to come and defend it; just bring it along then."

Since Lulansi had already said so, Luoning did not decline.

"Grandfather is right!"

He thought for a moment; to prevent outsiders from knowing he had a Magic Cannon, he would just use his Space Ring to take it away.

Seeing the Magic Cannon in front of him disappear, Lulansi raised his eyebrows.

"A Space Ring?"

He asked with suspicion and surprise: "Where did you obtain it?"

Luoning was a bit surprised, "Grandfather, you know about Space Rings?"

"Of course."

Lulansi said: "Not only have I heard of them, but I also know that His Majesty Bruno, the Archmage Silva, and a few Dukes possess them."

"Even Silva cannot craft this item; those in their hands are either ancestral heirlooms or obtained from ruins."

He looked at Luoning and asked curiously: "Where did you get it?"

Luoning naturally would not say he obtained it through a seven-day login method, as the latter would likely ask what a seven-day login is.

"There is also a ruin to the north of Wubei Territory."

Luoning said: "I discovered this Space Ring inside it, along with a Contract Scroll."

He leaned in a bit and whispered: "There was also a dragon in that ruin, and now it has become my Contract Magical Beast."

"Hahaha!"

Lulansi laughed heartily: "You really know how to brag!"

Creatures like dragons have always been mere rumors; no one has ever seen one.

His grandson not only claimed to have seen one but also took a dragon as his own Contract Magical Beast; if this isn't bragging, then what is it?

Luoning helplessly spread his hands, "If you don't believe me, I will summon it over tonight for you to see."

"Heh, then I really must take a good look."

On the surface, Lulansi did not quite believe it, but inwardly he was muttering, feeling that Luoning did not seem like he was bragging.

Could this matter be true?

No way, right?

Luoning did not offer further explanation; he would wait until tonight to give the other party a little shock.

In any case, the old man had always been as steady as Mount Tai, and it would probably be quite interesting to see him reveal an expression of shock.

Luoning observed the series of weapons in the storage room again, and only then did he accompany Lulansi as they left the place.

Through this visit, he gained a new understanding of the "air defense system" of this world, and also knew that Kaierluosi was not invincible; besides Silver Moon Knights and Magicians, there were other means that could pose a threat to it.

The damage from Magic Arrows is limited and can be disregarded, but the Magic Spear and Magic Cannon must be taken seriously, especially the Heart Piercing Wave Magic Cannon; once hit by it, even with Kaierluosi's powerful defensive capabilities, it would be severely wounded.

Fortunately, it takes a few seconds for the Magic Cannon to gather Magic Energy to form an attack.

During this period, if one can timely discover the light emitted when the Magic Cannon gathers Magic Energy, there is a chance to dodge it.

"Brother~"

Just as they exited Wushan Fortress, an enthusiastic shout came from the end of the road; it was Buleidun waving enthusiastically.

"This kid is back."

Lulansi smiled and said to Luoning, "Buleidun's talent is not bad; he successfully broke through to become an Intermediate Knight last month."

Luoning was immediately surprised and could not help but admire, "A fourteen-year-old Intermediate Knight, his talent is truly extraordinary!" (End of this chapter)
