Although Mystra's Robe was known as the strongest spell, Liang Lidong didn't know how to use it. The only person who knew how to use it in the game was Roland, the strongest Mage. Roland had taught Liang Lidong how to use it, but he had been sent to this world before he could learn it.
Liang Lidong, on the other hand, knew Mystra's Sword. However, he was only a Master Spellcaster, and he had to become a Legendary to use this skill.
Although Liang Lidong wanted to record Mystra's Sword into the spellcasting column, he had to give up because his level wasn't high enough. Now, he had to record a spell that was more suitable for the current environment and could also take into account his future development.
After thinking for a long time, he came up with a good spell — Arcane Missile.
This spell was rather useless to many spellcasters. Although it was powerful, it was mainly based on the number of consecutive attacks. It wasn't as simple and violent as Big Fireball, which could kill a person with a single shot.
Also, Arcane Bullets had a cooldown period. They couldn't be used one after another. Once they were used, they had to be guided and corrected on the spot. The cooldown period could be as short as two seconds or as long as four or five seconds. It didn't sound like a long time, but in a battle between professionals, sometimes half a second could decide life and death, let alone several seconds.
This spell was quite popular among spellcasters in the early stages of the game, but it declined in the middle stages of the game. Only a few spellcasters, such as Warlocks, were still using it.
The reason was simple. Warlocks used magic instinctively. They didn't need any gestures or spells. They could cast it with a thought.
So, when Warlocks used Magic Missile … Instead of shooting it one by one, they would throw out thirty to forty Magic Missiles at once to cover the enemy.
In this way, it was only slightly less powerful than Big Fireball, but its advantage was that it was twice as fast as Big Fireball. Also, its range was much longer than Big Fireball.
Apart from Magic Missile, there were many other spells worth considering, such as Melf's Acid (Disfiguring) Arrow, Limited Wishing, and Scorching Sight.
But after thinking about it, he decided to record Magic Missile.
Considering consumption, range, power, and other factors, Liang Lidong ultimately chose to record Magic Missiles. However, he didn't have the magic materials to make magic missiles at the moment. He had to make a trip to the Mercenary Guild.
He walked out of Mystra's Mansion and stood on the ground again. The demon's corpse emitted an unpleasant sulfuric stench because it had turned into flesh and blood, while Shaya's corpse still looked as if he had died with everlasting regret.
The divine power of the God of Shadow lingered in the air. Joan Of Arc seemed to be in low spirits and was greatly affected. However, Liang Lidong did not feel anything. He looked around for a while. After that, he returned to Bronze Drum City.
At this time, there was almost no one on the streets of the city. He was also in a hurry.
Liang Lidong knew that most people were hiding in their homes. The aftermath of the Shadow God's pressure had definitely affected the city.
A God was a God after all. With a single thought, even Professionals would be affected, let alone ordinary people. They were most likely frightened by the Shadow God. Right now, he should be praying for the protection of the god he believed in.
After arriving at the castle of Bronze Drum City, Liang Lidong announced his arrival and went in. Soon, he found Grinton. The beautiful half-elf was dealing with the affairs of Bronze Drum City.
His face was pale and he was coughing. Liang Lidong was curious. A quasi-Legendary-level figure like Grinton would be able to defeat him easily. He could actually get sick and catch a cold?
As soon as Liang Lidong sat down, Grinton asked impatiently, "Did you provoke the Shadow God?"
Liang Lidong was surprised. "How did you know it was me?"
"In this world, apart from you Golden Sons, who would dare to offend a god?" Grinton said in admiration, "And you seem to have rendered the God of Shadows helpless. I think at least half of Hollevin can feel his fury."
Liang Lidong chuckled. Teasing the Shadow God gave him a sense of accomplishment. "Is there something wrong with your body?"
"It doesn't matter." Grinton waved his hand. "It's just that the Shadow God couldn't find you, so he vented his anger on me. After all, I'm the strongest person in Bronze Drum City. Although he's a god, his power must be much weaker to pass through the spatial barrier. I'm just temporarily not feeling well. "
Liang Lidong nodded. Grinton wasn't a delicate person. If he couldn't take it anymore, he would say it directly.
Grinton tidied up the documents on his desk. Then he looked at Liang Lidong and asked, "You came here for something important, right? Tell me about it. "
Liang Lidong nodded. "I hope you can help me find a man named Axi."
Grinton frowned slightly. He wasn't frowning because Liang Lidong's request was too boring or too troublesome, but he was simply worried that he couldn't help him.
"My men are only good at fighting. You want them to help you find someone …" Grinton shook his head. "Why don't you try to find the Guild of Assassins or the Guild of Mercenaries?"
"Now that I have a grudge against these two guilds, it would be strange if they were willing." Liang Lidong then told the story of how he was ambushed by the Rogues and killed by him. Then he continued to say to Grinton, "I thought about it, and only you have more people here."
Grinton pondered for a while, then said, "There are at least thirty or forty people named Axi in Bronze Drum City, if not a hundred, then there are at least a hundred of them. Do you think it will be difficult for my men to find all of them? Axi? Is it Axi from the Temple of Light? "
Liang Lidong stood up. "Give me the information about him. I'll look into it myself."
Axi was actually not his real name, but a nickname. The real name being Tom.
Tom was the new protagonist of the Temple of Light in Bronze Drum City. Recently, many old people had inexplicably stepped down, and the ones to replace them were all young people.
Tom was one of them.
As a bishop who was less than 25 years old, he could be said to be proud of himself. Now, what made him even happier was that he had fallen in love with a girl, who was also a Paladin of the Temple of Light. She was also a new Paladin, Tina.
Tina was the girl whose appearance was second only to the Holy Maiden of Light he had seen. He even held Tina's Paladin induction ceremony in Light City.
Tina was already beautiful enough, and after becoming a Paladin, she became even more beautiful.
Everything about Tina was good, but there was one thing that Tom couldn't stop worrying about. Because when Tina talked, a man's name often popped up.
Beta.
Every time Tina mentioned this man, her eyes would sparkle. Tom naturally knew what kind of situation a woman would show such an expression when talking about a man.
It was because he felt that Beta had to die. He asked someone to inquire about him, and when he learned that Beta was just a wandering Mage who opened a small temple in Reed Village, he knew that Beta was doomed.
It was just that Beta had been away for a while and didn't return. So, it was unlikely that Tom would go after Beta even if he wanted to. However, he was told that Beta was back a couple of days ago. He learned it because Tina accidentally said it the day before yesterday when she came to Bronze Drum City to ask for help to deal with the Church of Life in Winterwind.
Then, Tom noted it down. After Tina left, he went to the Guild of Assassins.
Of course, as Smiling Tom, his smile was as gentle as the sun in the early summer even when he asked someone to make an order.
The Guild of Assassins had always been prudent, and they wouldn't betray their employer even if they failed. Tom waited quietly for the Guild of Assassins to send him the message that the target had been killed. However, instead of the message, he received the gaze of the God of Shadow.
Tom could tell that the God of Shadow wasn't targeting the people in this city. He was just too angry.
He was hurt by the God of Shadow's aura, but it wasn't a big deal. At this moment, he was most worried about Tina. After all, the girl hadn't been a Paladin for long. Although she was talented and promising, it wasn't easy for her to confront the God of Shadow.
He got on the carriage and drove to Winterwind, hoping to see how Tina was doing. However, he found that it was raining heavily on his way. He hurried back to the carriage and was about to talk to the coachman, when he saw an enormous pillar of water rushing at him.
It was definitely not a regular spell.
Tom instantly released a Radiant Divine Shield that enveloped the entire carriage.
But the power of that Magic Water Pillar was higher than he had imagined. When it hit the Radiant God Shield, the carriage immediately flipped a few times and the horses were injured.
Tom tossed and turned in the space of the wagon, and when he finally got out, he saw another beam of light, golden and beautiful, coming at him.
Tom knew very well that some spells were beautiful, but they were deadly. He hurried to shrink the Shield of Light and focused on defending himself.
It turned out that it was normal for him to do that. Although the pillar of light blew him several meters away again, Tom wasn't hurt at all. He was standing on his tiptoes, and when he was attacked, he simply let the remaining power of the spell push him back. That was one of the tricks of Resistance.
Although he was young, he was a bishop after all, and he was experienced enough.
However, Tom couldn't understand why someone would ambush him. Even if they were from the Church of Life, they shouldn't have chosen such a place to attack.
It was raining harder than before, Tom wiped his face, and found that he could not find the enemy at all, but the other party seemed to know what he did and any actions he took.
