The so-called "Human Cannonball" was actually just a playful name that the players gave to this combined magic skill. Its real name was:
Staged Spatial Rocket Jet!
The name sounded like a mouthful, so the players preferred to call it Human Cannonball, because this combined skill, once used, would produce the effect of a cannon being launched. … Thud. …
Liang Lidong first cast Magic Resistance on himself and then tore open a magic scroll with blue mageweaths.
The surrounding space twisted and swallowed Liang Lidong. After more than two seconds, the air was twisted again, but this time, Liang Lidong was ejected at a 45-degree angle, like a cannonball that had just been fired. He flew more than a hundred meters into the sky with a whistling sound.
Because he was moving so fast, his Magic Shield was already rippling. If it were metal, it would've been burning because of the intense friction with the air.
This was a rare destructive skill in spatial magic, Spatial Bubble Jet.
Its effect was to catch something with a small space, then destabilize the exclusion of the space, and spit it out at a high speed. If it was an enemy, it would be thrown off a cliff or a dangerous place, and if it was a hard material such as a brick or rock, it would be launched at the enemy and hit him in the face.
Most spells had different uses, and this skill was no exception. If the person who was ejected didn't hit hard objects and had enough protection, it would be a disguised rapid displacement skill.
Then he threw out a magic scroll, and the spatial bubble swallowed him again and spat him out.
After repeating this a dozen times, he moved faster and faster in the air, until he barely broke the speed of sound. He was almost like a human jet.
But at this point, he already felt that all the muscles in his body were cramping. If he weren't a professional whose physique was much better than that of ordinary people, and if he hadn't set up a Magic Shield in advance, he would've been a bloody mess by now.
But even so … His consciousness was slightly sluggish and dazed, and coupled with the blurred vision caused by the high-speed movement, he knew that he was almost at his limit.
At this point, almost ten minutes had passed. Moving at high speed, he had vaguely seen the edge of the city wall on the other side of the horizon.
Then, he chose a distant mountain as a reference. Then, he tore open another magic scroll.
Then, with the momentum of a falling meteor, he directly 'smashed' halfway up the mountain.
It was as if a large number of explosives had exploded, causing the surrounding trees to be blown away. Liang Lidong was half-squatting in the pitch-black pit, maintaining the posture of a Terminator descending from the sky.
After a long while. Only then did he manage to stand up, remove the magic shield behind him, and stretch his body.
Inside Mystra's Mansion, the three of them stared dumbfoundedly at everything outside. The exaggerated speed scene outside just now was an eye-opener for them.
After a long while, Kail asked with a silly smile, "Oh my, what kind of weird magic did Teacher use? He actually reached the outskirts of the capital so quickly."
"Spatial Bubble Jet." Emma's expression was one of bewilderment. "But I never knew that this skill could be used like this. Betta's idea. He's too reckless, yet he can succeed. He's simply a freak. "
Liang Lidong stretched his body on the spot, and then let out a long sigh of relief, feeling extremely comfortable. Sure enough, extreme speed was also one of the things that men were excited about.
It was actually a very dangerous thing to use a spell and a skill that only the Golden Sons dared to do. Because the speed was too fast, most Spell Casters would not be able to focus their Mind Power to cast spells while moving at high speed. If the NPC Spell Casters had a weaker physique, such as a 3-4 Constitution growth NPC, they would not be able to cast spells. Under this kind of high-speed movement, he would directly faint, and then the plane would crash and he would die.
Therefore, if he wanted to use this combination skill, he would have to be careful. They had to have enough defensive abilities and a decent physique. All the Golden Sons, even if they were pure spellcasters, had at least 5 points of physique growth when they were born. So in general. Golden Sons were generally much stronger than NPCs.
Because they could not cast spells while moving at high speed, they had to be prepared with enough magic scrolls, and they also had to have a portable space to store the scrolls so that they could use the scrolls to speed up in time. They could not carry the scrolls on them. It would not be good if the scrolls were dropped while moving at high speed.
It was just that it was very difficult for even spatial Mages to have their own portable space. Therefore, this combination skill was only popular among Golden Son spellcasters.
And the most important reason was that this combination skill was very costly … Although the prices of magic materials varied slightly from place to place, on average, the cost of a Spatial Bubble Jet scroll was about two gold coins … In other words, the cost of this journey for Liang Lidong was about thirty gold coins.
This was enough to cover the living expenses of several households and dozens of civilians for six or seven years.
Anything that could be solved with money was not a big problem for the Golden Sons. But as soon as Liang Lidong walked down the mountainside, he found that he had encountered a big problem.
He was surrounded!
About three hundred heavily armored cavalrymen surrounded the exit at the foot of the mountain. These cavalrymen were all in bright armor, and the coat of arms was still the half-daylight blue coat of arms of the royal family of Hollevin.
The royal cavalry.
Surrounded by the cavalrymen were two men.
One was a young man wearing a sky-blue noble robe. His hair was tied up in a neat golden ponytail. He looked very delicate, with fair skin and red lips. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Emma's, but he was more heroic than Emma.
The other man, on the other hand, was wearing a light blue magic robe with reddish magic patterns flowing on it. Liang Lidong could tell at a glance that this magic robe came with the Ring of Fire of Resistance, a trigger setting that was good for self-protection in emergencies.
This Magician was very refined. He was thin and had a righteous look on his face.
Being stared at by more than three hundred pairs of eyes, Liang Lidong was not afraid. He looked back and a magic scroll was buckled in his hand.
The Mage stared at Liang Lidong for a long time, then he said something in the young man's ear. The young man nodded and spurred his horse forward. Of course, he did not leave the protection of the heavily armored cavalrymen.
"This is the capital of Hollevin, who are you?"
"A Mage passing by, and who are you?" In fact, Liang Lidong had vaguely guessed the other party's identity, but he kept it to himself and did not say it out loud. Sometimes when he spoke the truth, his momentum would be suppressed in a confrontation. "Why are you standing in my way?"
The young man smiled. "You did such a dangerous thing, and we happened to pass by, so naturally, we had to come and take a look. After all, the capital is in troubled times right now, and many things have to be taken care of. "
The young man was still surprised by the scene he had just seen. The way he moved with a loud sound, and the movement when he landed directly on the ground. He could imagine how great the effect would be if this ability was used to raid the enemy's headquarters.
"I stand by what I said, a Mage passing by." Liang Lidong squinted his eyes and smiled, unleashing his Noble Temperament without hesitation. "If I wanted to, I could have descended directly into the capital. So, please step aside, I have something to take care of. "
Suppressed by Liang Lidong's invisible aura, the noble youth and the mage both frowned at the same time. The armored warhorses all took a step back in unison, and the encirclement became a little messy.
But soon, the cavalrymen reorganized their formation, and at the same time, they held their lances horizontally, all aimed at the Mage in front of them who was giving them great pressure.
The Mage whispered a few words in the young man's ear.
The young man's expression became a little ugly. He took a light breath and then squeezed out a smile. "I still hope that you can explain your purpose in coming to the capital, sir. After all, there has been quite a lot of things in the capital recently."
Naturally, Liang Lidong knew that there had been an open and veiled struggle in the capital recently. He was going to say that he had nothing to do with these things, but at this moment, he suddenly received a little magic message and understood. Then, with a thought, Emma appeared behind him.
Liang Lidong had temporarily attached the coordinates of Mystra's Mansion to his cloak, so when Emma appeared, she naturally appeared behind him.
Then, Emma walked out from behind Liang Lidong, smiled, and nodded slightly at the young man. "Second Brother, long time no see."
"Emma!"
The young man looked as if he had seen a ghost. He happily urged his horse forward, and then when he was about to speak, he retreated and said in a suspicious tone, "Emma should be a Holy Lady in the Church of Storm at this time … It can't be a magic mirror image, can it?"
The Mage next to him immediately used Magic Shock, and his mental power swept over Liang Lidong and the young man like a breeze.
Liang Lidong was a little surprised. This Mage's mental power was very stable, like a slowly flowing stream. Although the flow wasn't large, it gave people a comfortable feeling. A Mage who could do this couldn't have low mental power growth.
"It's a real person!" the Mage said to the young man.
The young man smiled and got off his horse, walked up to Emma, and gave her a big hug. Then he asked with a smile, "Why are you willing to come to the capital?"
"I'm just passing by." Emma also looked quite happy. "There's something I need to do."
"Oh!" The young man looked at Liang Lidong, deep in thought. Then he said with a smile, "Ignatsu, Emma's second brother. May I know your name, sir?"
"Beta Lyon," replied Liang Lidong indifferently.
Ignatsu didn't react to Liang Lidong's expression. He was still smiling, and then he turned to the girl and teased, "I thought you would be a Holy Lady for the rest of your life. I didn't expect you to travel around with a man. Do Father and Mother know about this?"
Emma blushed slightly. "None of your business."
"It's none of my business." Ignatsu shook his head helplessly and said with a doting smile, "But since you're here, come with me to meet Father and Mother, especially Mother. She misses you very much."
Emma hesitated for a moment. She turned to Liang Lidong and asked, "Is that okay?"
Although Liang Lidong didn't want to be nosy, Emma was still his friend. If she couldn't agree to such a simple request, she wouldn't be a friend at all.
So he nodded slightly
Emma's eyes lit up, then her face turned red
