Chapter 989: Ritual Defense
Seeing many spell casters start to take action.
Ronald, who had just agreed to the big witch's request, naturally took a step back and began to watch the actions of these spellcasters in response to the sea beast's attack.
It didn't take long for him to discover something interesting.
Although the spellcasters in Capone City are led by two forces, the Twelve Witches and the Dawn Spell Society, the defense system they built is a complete entity.
And throughout the defense.
It was the people from [Dawn Spell Society] who were responsible for standing at the front and being the first to face the enemy's attack. At the same time, the preparation of the entire defensive array seems to have been built based on them.
——This is something worth thinking about.
Just like the big witch asked Ronald not to take action at the first moment.
The specific defense details and measures actually include many aspects of impact.
Obviously there is not much difference in power between the [Twelve Witches] and the [Dawn Spell Society], but at this moment it is the [Dawn Spell Society] that occupies the main position of defense, and faces so many threats... There must be a hidden secret,
this That’s what caused everything to happen!
"..."
"Sir, I don't quite understand."
Just as Ronald was observing the defense team and starting to think about the problem, Costat next to him suddenly asked:
"The city is obviously facing danger. And their defensive strength is obviously not foolproof. In this case, why should they shirk your powerful help?" ——Costat
is wondering about the logic of human behavior.
"Costat..." Upon hearing this question, Ronald immediately realized what the maid was thinking. So he carefully organized his words, and then continued to explain, "If it were an ordinary spell caster, he would have already chosen to escape at this time. After all, normal people cannot even guarantee their safety when fighting against such a sudden monster. Safe."
At this time, Ronald pointed in the distance.
Just where Il was helping to evacuate the residents, there were actually many spellcasters evacuating with the crowd. With Costa's ability to sense magic power fluctuations, it is not difficult to discover this.
"The choices made by these people are what people would do under normal circumstances. On the other hand, look at the [Twelve Witches Coven] or the [Dawn Spell Society] -
when an organization occupies the dominance of the region and seeks for long-term When there are interests, they also have to bear a lot of responsibilities. Just like now, when a crisis comes, they must stand up and fight against it." "..." "
But
this is different from accepting help. Isn't it contradictory?"
After thinking about Ronald's words seriously, Costart still had doubts in his expression:
"Accepting help from others when facing danger actually helps to preserve more strength. If you want to be in the long run, To effectively ensure the benefits you obtain, the first priority is to ensure that your own strength is as strong as possible." "
But from the analysis of strength, it is indeed the case." Ronald first affirmed Costat's idea, and then Then he continued, "But in reality, human society is not entirely based on the operating rules of strength." "
This point... This thing is more complicated to explain in detail. Didn't you check my memory? In " There is actually a description of this point in "Social Contract Theory", you can take a good look at it. - In short, doing the necessary things at the necessary moments is also a necessary link to maintain one's own status." "..." Listen
to
Rona After De said this, Costat immediately lowered his head and began to think deeply.
The maid recalled what she had searched for in Ronald's memory, and then immediately immersed herself in absorbing and learning knowledge.
the other side.
After providing Costat with a direction to think about, Ronald turned his attention back to the front.
At this time, standing at the forefront, the caster of the Dawn Spell Society was reciting his own incantation loudly to mobilize the magic power provided by everyone:
"Magic traditions in the world include different methods, practices and procedures. At first glance, Below, they bear little resemblance to the drumming and use of bright colors in Haitian voodoo, or the perfect meditation of monks in Japanese temples..." "...
"
Ronald wasn't quite sure where the incantation recited by the other person came from.
But one thing is for sure, this is not a science book, but a book about magic.
Under the leadership of this magician.
A ritual power used to strengthen the benefactor began to descend on the entire dock.
Ronald as an extremely close observer.
It can even be understood in detail that during this ceremony, all friendly spell casters' ability to operate spells has greatly improved, and their mental state has also been strengthened.
This is a fairly rare spell.
According to the knowledge Ronald had acquired in Springs, there are only a few large schools in the world that have this special ritual strengthening ability. Unexpectedly, the [Dawn Spell Society] has such a trump card.
And after completing this scope greatly strengthens the ritual.
The magic circle truly used to protect the entire port continued to unfold under the leadership of this magician:
"O untouchable secret of God, Lady of Silence and Shadow, you dwell in the darkness above the surface of the abyss... ..."
Wow!
While the mantra is being recited.
The water flow speed in front of Capon Port is also becoming more and more alarming.
In addition to the ocean vortex that is still brewing and the situation is becoming more and more serious, due to the interference of the main currents, waves with a height of several meters have been beating around uncontrollably.
Facing the aftermath of the threat, Capone's port bore the brunt!
Brush -
At this time, the defensive spells led by the [Dawn Spell Society] were also completed.
This is a pretty magical spell.
Ronald clearly saw the waves coming to the shore, then hitting the ground and retreating into the water.
But after the whole process, the sea water that should have been able to destroy buildings and knock down people did not have even the slightest impact on anyone or anything.
Under the protection of this spell, everything inside seems to have hidden form. Even if the attack of sea water comes in front of people, it will only be an illusory shadow being smashed over, and it will not affect any actual changes.
Plop -
at this moment, a man wearing a gel-like coat jumped out of the water as the waves receded.
"Wow -"
The man quickly fell to the ground weakly.
Although it was dark, Ronald's eyesight was excellent.
He could clearly see that this was a young man, his face was quite pale, he had obviously suffered a very serious blow, and his physical condition was extremely bad.
But even so.
He didn't wait for someone next to him to help him up.
The man who jumped from the sea to the shore tried his best to support his body and shouted directly without falling down immediately:
"The number of sea monsters under there...are too many to count! We were attacked while we were investigating the situation. ."
"I... I am the only one who escaped!"
