Chapter 16 Spell slots? What are those?
"Arcane Missiles!"
"Ah!"
[Mission: Defeat the thugs 2/5]
Another thug was hit hard by the missile and fainted with a scream.
The two thugs who "survived" were instantly ecstatic.
"The boss said! His spell slots are all used up!"
"He's done! The reward is coming!"
The boss who was barely standing with a stick in the distance also showed a smug expression: "Where did this rookie come from? Even if he is a mage, so what? He dares to act alone. This will let you know the dangers of the downtown area!"
The strong man can be the leader of the five people. He must be much better than the other thugs in terms of experience.
He had seen the few magicians in the gang before, and the spells they cast were indeed powerful.
Whether it was an ice arrow, a fireball or a missile, as long as it hit, it could basically make the opponent lose combat effectiveness instantly.
But the mages are too fragile, so every time they need to take action, they will bring enough men who can provide protection to prevent being attacked.
What's more, because of the limitation of spell slots, the number of spells available per day is limited, and most of the low-level mages that the downtown gangs can recruit will be used as a deterrent or decapitation method.
As long as they appear in the battle, the enemy leader will be worried, because he may be "decapitated" by spells at any time.
Correspondingly, once the mage is alone, there is no one to protect him, and all the spell slots available for the day are used up, he will fall into a very dangerous situation.
When the leading strong man confirmed the identity of Pete's spellcaster, he decisively made the judgment of drowning him with "human sea tactics".
If Pete is a traditional mage who believes in the goddess of magic, there are 5 people on the gangster side, and rushing up will indeed be the most appropriate way.
Sacrifice a few unlucky guys, use up his spell slots, and then he will be slaughtered!
Unfortunately, Pete was no longer the most faithful believer of the Goddess of Magic a few hours ago.
"I, Pete Qinar, have always been the most devout believer of the Goddess of Knowledge, Nowen!"
"Who is the Goddess of Magic? I don't know her!"
"What era is it? You are still a traditional wizard!"
After firing three full [Arcane Missiles], Pete still looked energetic, and his hands kept moving. In a blink of an eye, the fourth [Arcane Missile] was condensed and formed!
"Arcane Missiles!"
Then, Pete chanted the spell again!
"Arcane Missiles!"
"Bang! Bang!"
[Mission: Defeat the thugs 4/5]
The four men fell to the ground neatly and fell into a not-so-peaceful sleep.
The leading strong man was dumbfounded at this time.
When he saw the fourth purple missile fired, he realized that something was wrong. When the fifth [Arcane Missile] was formed, his mouth was so wide that he could stuff a duck egg.
"You you you! Me me me!!! No! What's going on!!"
The first reaction of the strong man was: he was wrong!
A first-level wizard only has 3 chances to cast a first-level spell every day;
If he can be promoted to the second level, he will have an extra spell slot that can be used to cast a second-level spell.
But even if the second-level spell slot is used to cast the first-level [Arcane Missile], there are only four chances at most!
Pate did not use any magic scrolls or magic props that he had reserved in advance during the casting, and he chanted the spell himself to complete the casting!
5 times of casting!
It means that the other party is at least a third-level spellcaster!
The second reaction of the strong man was: he is going to be finished!
A third-level spellcaster can have a decent life even in the upper city of Green Harbor, which is completely different from these "lower city people".
The strong man felt sweaty.
"Sir, no, sir, well, listen to my explanation. I said I was joking with you before. Do you believe me..."
Seeing Pete walking leisurely step by step, holding the sixth completed [Arcane Missile] in his hand, three purple missiles were circling and dancing in a small range regularly, dragging out beautiful purple trajectories.
Pete felt that he had never been so happy!
In the baron's manor in his hometown, although the maids and guards were also afraid of him, it was because he was the son of the baron, and his noble identity made the servants and civilians dare not offend him at all.
Coming to Green Port, the noble law of the Kingdom of Reyak could not control this place. There were guys of all races in this place, and even swaggering ogre bodyguards, dark elf technicians and so on could be seen on the streets.
Not having much combat ability, for the sake of his own safety, Pete originally planned to stay in Carron for 3 years to get the third-level spellcaster certification and then go back to continue his life as a noble heir, so he never experienced a real fight with people.
This time, he defeated 5 thugs head-on with his own strength without the protection of others!
"So the combat experience of a mage is so good! Awesome!"
This feeling of just standing still and chanting spells comfortably, and then "calling out" the enemies one by one and knocking them down one by one, is a new and novel experience for Pete that he has never had before!
Pete is not a high-level spellcaster as the strong man guessed. His real strength is still at the level of a second-level mage, and he still has 3 first-level spell slots and 1 second-level spell slot.
As for the reason for breaking through the spell slot limit and releasing the first-level spell [Arcane Missiles] multiple times?
The answer is simple.
"Thank you! Great God of Knowledge!"
When Pete completed the spell [Hada's Hunger], he discovered the huge difference between the magic release method given by Norwen and the magician who believed in the goddess of magic. Now he just confirmed it again.
The magic of traditional mages needs to be recorded in the spell book in advance, and there is a limit on the spell slots every day. After the number is used up, the spell cannot be cast.
The same magic, when released using Norwen's method, there is no so-called spell slot limit at all!
Pete can feel that the magic consumes his mental power when it is released. Every time he uses [Arcane Missiles], he will become a little tired, and feel sleepy and need to rest.
But compared with the few tight spell slots of traditional mages, casting spells at the cost of mental power is undoubtedly much more abundant!
[Arcane Missiles] is just a basic first-level spell, and the mental power consumption is not much.
According to Pete's estimation, in his current state, he can at least release 10 consecutive [Arcane Missiles] and still maintain his consciousness, instead of falling into a coma after draining his mental power at once like he did when he released [Hada's Hunger].
If he casts enough spells and is far enough away from the enemy, he will knock down all the enemies one by one!
The strong man tried to force a flattering smile on his face, but his smile was uglier than crying.
"Sir, can you treat me as a fart? I promise I will never appear in front of you again..."
Pete was about to speak.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise.
A damp stone brick covered with moss hit the back of the strong man's head heavily. The strong man didn't even grunt and fainted on the spot.
[Mission: Defeat the gangster 5/5]
[Mission completed! ]
Pete was stunned when he saw the girl Rena, who had quietly circled behind the strong man at some point and had just completed a fierce "backstab" and was still holding the stone brick in her hand.
"Ah?"

Please give me a recommendation~bobo~
