The reason why Claire rushed to stand opposite the cannon was because the cannonballs were larger in size than bullets and their targets were more obvious.
Moreover, Claire is far enough away from it, and has time to react, and the spell can accurately hit it. If it were Magic Bullet, Claire would really not dare to stand in front of it.
Light Body Technique reduced the mass of the cannonball, and Haste Delay also reduced the speed of the cannonball, but this was not enough, so Claire used the magic hand to block most of the remaining kinetic energy of the cannonball. But the one that played the main role was Light Body Technique. This spell reduced the power of the shells by at least 50%.
The three spells took turns to play their respective roles, and finally Claire was able to catch it with one hand.
Claire thought about this possibility when he was in front of the dummy. He could use some spells to deflect the cannonballs or block them cleverly.
As for why we should stand in front of the cannonball to catch it instead of testing it in a safer way?
Because it's really cool to do this! Three level one spells will give you a shell that can kill Archmage. This is so cool! And there happened to be an audience nearby!
"Clang!"
Claire threw the cannonball in his hand to the ground, making a crisp metal impact sound, and then quietly put his right hand behind him. As soon as he put it behind him, he started to tremble slightly.
His expression was still indifferent, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart, "Damn it, it doesn't look that powerful. The next shock made my hands numb now!"
Isaac rushed over with an excited expression on his face and said, "Holy crap! This is so handsome!"
"Three first-level spells! They stopped this cannonball. This is a cannonball that can shatter fourth-level protective spells!"
Claire kept smiling, "Light Body Technique played a key role, reducing the quality of the shells and reducing their power by half..."
Isaac nodded, "Indeed, the Haste Delay behind it only played less than half of the effect, and was soon affected by the huge energy and shattered. But the magic hand behind you is awesome! I didn't know it had such a use. It has been used as a small spell to hold and place test tubes before."
"You can modify the fired cannonball and attach a layer of anti-magic material coating to the tip. In this case, spells like Light Body Technique will not work."
Isaac nodded repeatedly as he listened, "What you said makes sense, otherwise those mages would be restrained if they found out that they still have this trick."
After saying that, Isaac sighed, "It's a pity that only four cannonballs were produced. Otherwise, I would have used my magic hand to knock down the cannonballs like you did!"
Seeing the regret on Isaac's face, Claire had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder as comfort.
Frey felt a little numb after hearing such words. The conversation between the two people in front of him seemed to be inconsistent with his world view. But he still turned to look at the male mage in the team out of habit, wanting to ask his opinion, because he was not a mage after all.
When Ford saw Frey turning his head, he immediately made a sad face, boss! Stop looking at me! I really can't do it! Who can aim at such a fast speed and hit the spell accurately on the top? Even if the blind cat encounters a dead mouse and hits it, how can it keep the spell attached to it? With such a large kinetic energy, the spell will be shaken and shattered by the energy wave before it reaches the top.
Still standing in front of the cannonball, he was blown to pieces at such a fast speed that he didn't even have time to see it. That could break the Archmage shield!
If Ford hadn't been an adventurer for many years and met many mages, his world view would have collapsed. He thought that mages like himself were abnormal, but in fact the ones who were abnormal were Claire and Isaac, one of the two is a top student in the Royal Capital Magic Academy, and the college is reluctant to let him leave, and the other is sixteen-year-old High Mage, who is not one of the top geniuses outside.
Claire discussed some details with Isaac, and Isaac was eager to try it, and quickly asked his mages to push the cannon in.
"I already have new ideas, now I'm going back to the design drawings to make improvements!"
Claire looked dumbfounded and said, "Okay, then I'll take Teklin away. You don't need him for your design drawings anyway."
Isaac turned his back to Claire and waved. "Take it away, take it away, I'll go find him after I finish designing the drawings."
After returning to Teklin's blacksmith shop, Frey and others handed their broken weapons to Teklin. Teklin simply looked at it for a few times before patting his chest and promising that he could repair it.
These weapons are only master-level. Teklin is a master-level blacksmith himself. There is no problem in making them, let alone simple repair work.
"It's a small problem, just come back and pick it up in a few hours!" Teklin said confidently.
Frey They were also very happy that they didn't have to go to a big city to repair it, which saved a lot of time, so they paid for the repair on the spot.
However, they did not leave. They just sat up casually on the ground outside the door of the Teklin blacksmith shop. They adventurers were not so pretentious and disliked this and that. For adventurers, weapons were the most important, and it was more comfortable to sit here.
Claire also followed and sat next to the other party. Frey and others were shocked when they saw Claire sitting down.
"Ah? What are you..."
"It's okay." Claire waved his hand casually, "Let me chat with you. You can wash your clothes even if they are dirty. It is rare to meet adventurers as powerful as you in Nafu City."
Frey also said politely, "We rarely see nobles like you."
Then Claire chatted with them about the process of hunting Wyvern. The rhythm of the entire chat was controlled by Claire. Frey and others became more and more excited as they talked. When they were outside the Adventurer Tavern, they rarely had the opportunity to brag about their achievements to others like this.
The other party was dancing excitedly and telling about his previous adventures. Claire nodded slightly at the side, acting as a qualified listener.
"Then where are you going next?" Claire asked.
Frey dragged his chin and thought for a while, then replied, "You should take Wyvern's body to Augon City, which is the nearest big city from here."
Claire asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because there is Adventurer's Guild there." The thin female mage on the side said first. They were already familiar with Claire and didn't have so many worries.
Frey took the words, "Yes, there is Adventurer's Guild there. The Wyvern we hunted can be hung on it for sale, or directly sold to the Adventurer's Guild. The price is very reasonable."
Adventurer's Guild, as the name suggests, is an exclusive guild organization for adventurers. It is also a place where many adventurers gather for activities. It mainly serves as a communication bridge between the people, adventurers, and the country. Its operating model is to act as a task entrustment intermediary for the three parties. Many times, the tasks accepted by adventurers are issued in their own name, such as escorting goods, and some are issued by the state, such as assisting a city to resist the attack of Warcraft, and joining the war as a third force.
Frey Hunting and selling monsters like this is also one of the main activities for adventurers. Compared with those fixed tasks, it is more free, but it also has the disadvantage that the price is not very high.
Claire didn't think much and continued to ask, "How much can this Wyvern sell for?"
"Then if the complete animal skin is sold, it can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 Gold Coins. The fourth-level Monster Core is about 60,000 to 70,000. The other miscellaneous ones can be sold for more than 100,000 Gold Coins."
At first glance, it seems like a lot, but if it is distributed, each person can only get 20,000 to 30,000 Gold Coins. After excluding the cost lost in the battle, the profit this time is about 10,000, which can keep them nourished for a while.
"That's not bad." Claire nodded. Although it's not as good as him being able to earn tens of thousands of Gold Coins every day without doing anything, it's still pretty good.
Frey and others also showed happy smiles. They were quite satisfied with the harvest this time. No one was seriously injured, and so many Gold Coins were still recorded.
"It would be great if you have Adventurer's Guild here. We don't have to run so far to Augon City area." Frey said casually.
