Chapter 336: Chapter 336 Ghost Mage

Ghost Mages were unlike any other troop type, innately possessing extremely high intelligence. Even though they were just at the silver level and not considered special units, they had a flexibility of intellect that was simply higher than even those of Hero Units.

Moreover, they had a very profound understanding of their own abilities.

Ghost Mages inherently had six abilities, but in fact, only four were original skills, while the other two were talents.

"Dark Control and Soul Control are both targeted at spells. We can research and utilize both magic with dark attributes and magic with soul attributes much faster and more easily."

That’s good news, Fang Jie thought, his eyes lighting up. Being a Death Messenger himself, his profession was also capable of learning these two skills.

However, Fang Jie had been solely focused on summoning, mainly involving White Bone Summoning, with perhaps some White Bone Control at most. He simply did not have time to study other skills. Without a complete skill set, it was difficult to learn them.

If he could get these Ghost Mages to research and learn in the future, that would be much easier.

He would find research topics for them, and then let the Ghost Mages conduct the research. Once they achieved success, he could directly learn the outcomes.

"By the way, can others learn the spells you guys research?"

"As long as one has a magic talent, yes. However, most of those Skeleton Zombies in our territory are not talented, and only those Death Knights possess the talent to learn."

Fang Jie slapped his forehead, having forgotten this point.

"Right, and about other races, it seems that other races have also found it easier to learn about dark power due to the boost from the Divine Statue."

Although the Ghost Mages had just been born, they were very clear about everything in the Territory. Of course, they only knew about things directly related to the Territory itself; they were clueless about anything beyond its buildings.

The Affiliated Territory was still considered part of the Territory’s buildings, of which they inherently knew quite a bit.

"That’s possible, but among the existing creatures, it’s really only the Elves that are suitable for this."

Elves, that made sense. Elves by nature were a magic race, with better control over magic than most other races. So, in the future, he would take the opportunity to have Qin Lan conduct experiments, but he would need spells first.

Indeed, Fang Jie had a few spells with dark attributes, but they were too few, and they were nothing more than the skills themselves.

Without the underlying principles and specific training methods, it would be too difficult for the Elves to learn on their own. Now that he had Ghost Mages, it was better to have them research.

"Let’s leave those aside for now and talk about them later. Let’s see what those four skills of yours are really about."

The Ghost Mages nodded slightly and began to explain while casting spells, allowing Fang Jie to quickly understand.

Ghost Chains was a restraint skill. Since it was innate, it was also a type of Legion Skill. It manifested as a transparent chain that entangled the target.

The chain could be concealed; people with insufficient strength might not even see it.

However, the real strength of this skill didn’t lie in that aspect but in the fact that this spell could be combined.

The more Ghost Mages participating, the stronger and larger the chains could merge into, bringing more terrifying power. A few hundred Ghost Mages working together could even fully bind a Gold-level expert.

They could even easily catch a Skeleton Flying Dragon and pull it down from the sky.

This spell was indeed very effective against powerful creatures, particularly those of large size. But there was a limit to this skill; against Legendary Experts, it was of no use.

"It’s a very nice spell; if only it had come into existence sooner."

Previously, he had dealt with Gold-level experts by piling up numbers. If he had had this method back then, it would have been much easier, which was a pity.

Now, for him, this skill was more or less superfluous.

After all, he had a large number of Gold-level experts under his command, and he could just send them into battle.

The next skill was also a Legion Skill. Time Decay was cast on the enemy and could greatly reduce the enemy’s morale, even causing a complete collapse, except for a few special types of creatures.

Deployed on the battlefield, the effect was terrifying.

The more Ghost Mages were sent, the more exaggerated the effect. Unlike Mages who directly used offensive spells, these Mages could, in some sense, have an even greater impact.

Perhaps this troop type could be rented at a high price to other forces.

Fang Jie looked at the next skill, Undead Fury, which was a special skill that buffed Undead.

It could also be cast over a large number of Undead, directly enhancing their strength. One was a positive enhancement, and the other was a negative debilitation. Without trying it out, Fang Jie knew the effect would be incredibly strong.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Southern region had already turned into intense conflict, Fang Jie would have actually liked to take them there for testing.

But now was not the time. Testing now would only make both factions wary of him. Thus, not only could Fang Jie not increase his troop types, but he also had to appear very weak, with no troops available.

The last skill was simple and direct—Barrier Technique was a Defense Ability.

Used by a single Ghost Mage, it could protect both themselves and those around them. But if the number increased, many Ghost Mages using it together could support a very large Barrier.

This barrier at its strongest could only go up to the Golden Level, because the Ghost Mages themselves were not on a high enough level.

In terms of Defense Ability, it probably wasn’t as powerful as the Defense Barrier of Kay City described in the documents.

However, the skill had one advantage—it was versatile because these Ghost Mages could deploy the Barrier wherever they went. Whereas once a Mage Tower was built, its location was generally fixed and couldn’t be changed.

"If my army had not risen to the Gold level, these would undoubtedly be the trump card forces. Now, although they’re still effective, they feel somewhat neither here nor there."

Fang Jie felt that this Mage Team had a somewhat superfluous feel to it.

"Lord, we can still learn and research various spells. If you upgrade your buildings to the Gold level in the future, then you can directly create Gold-level Ghost Mages. I believe they would then be very useful."

Gold-level Ghost Mages, that was indeed a good idea. If their numbers were high enough, perhaps dealing with Legendary Experts wouldn’t be so troublesome. For now, they still had their uses.

At least in the field of magic research, so many of them together would certainly be stronger than just him alone.
