Theoretically, if Jia Lan used the "arcane magic" that he was proficient in, he would have been blasted to pieces before the wind magician raised his wand.
However, the magic simulation process he performed, "summoning fire element samples → injecting fire elements into the model magic circle on the apprentice's wand → triggering the magic circle → releasing fire arrows", completely offset the spellcasting ability that he had worked hard to master, so that his spellcasting speed was almost the same as that of the opponent.
This situation made Jia Lan quite depressed. It seemed that he could only spend some more precious time and energy to study how to shorten this simulation process.
Jia Lan came to his senses and shifted his attention to the wind magician on the opposite side.
Compared with locking himself in the laboratory to study slowly, a spell confrontation can allow Jia Lan to have a deeper understanding of the working principle of magic.
So, regardless of the mood of the Iguana Fang Mercenaries and the wind magicians in the fierce battle, Jia Lan said to the old archer Murphy who was suppressing the opponent and making them dare not release spells easily: "Leave him to me, you go help old Jimmy and the others."
Looking at Jia Lan in doubt, and then recalling the fire arrow just now, the knowledgeable old Murphy didn't say much nonsense, just nodded, and then raised his hand to shoot the arrow on the bowstring.
He used the "Rapid Shooting" bow technique to perfection, and one arrow after another whistled and hit some unlucky people in the chaotic crowd.
At the same time, the enchantment effect "Rapid Wind" on the bow was also activated, which doubled the original speed of "Rapid Shooting".
For a moment, only old Murphy created a "rain of arrows" effect!
And Casey and Dave, who were protecting Jia Lan, looked at each other for a while, and then rushed into the melee with their weapons.
Although they were very worried about Jia Lan's safety, they also knew that the effects of the alchemy potions on them could not last long.
Once the alchemy effect disappeared, the combat power of the four old mercenaries would fall back to their original state, or even fall into a weak state.
By then, none of them would be able to leave the Storm Wolf Mercenary Group's base.
Although the silver archer who suppressed the wind magician changed his target, which made him feel relieved, he did not despise the "magic apprentice" in front of him.
Just from the fire arrow just now, he was sure that the magician in front of him must have deliberately put on the apprentice magic robe to confuse others.
Come to think of it, the other party is the disciple of "Master Lemley" who the leader repeatedly urged to establish a relationship with, and is also the only external spokesperson for the mysterious "magician team".
How could he only have the strength of a level 1 magic apprentice?
Isn't he afraid that the potion formula of the team behind him will be taken away by others?
In addition, the various alchemical potions and enchanted equipment used by the members of the Iguana Fang Mercenary Group that he saw made him even more convinced that this mysterious magician team had terrifyingly strong strength in the fields of potions, alchemy, and enchantment.

He had to lower his posture and said respectfully and cautiously: "Young sir, I think there may be some misunderstandings between us. Please believe that we have no ill will towards you and the team behind you, we just want to reach a certain cooperation with you..."
The Storm Wolf Mercenary Group's base had already fallen into a chaotic battle, but in the midst of the deafening noise of shouting and killing, the two magicians seemed to be in another world, completely unaffected by the mercenaries' melee, standing there quietly like a reef in a torrent.
Jia Lan smiled and nodded: "I know."
The wind magician was overjoyed when he heard this: "In that case, why not..."
Before he could finish, Jia Lan interrupted him: "I know your purpose and intention, and I know that your actions have not harmed my interests. But I don't like your behavior very much..."
"Because you frightened my civilian friends and caused losses to my mercenary friends. Therefore, you, the Storm Wolf Mercenary Group, must pay the price for this..."
After a slight pause, Jia Lan smiled and continued: "A price that is enough to satisfy me and can calm the anger of my civilian and mercenary friends!"
"Young sir, are you really going to be our enemy for a few civilians and a small insignificant mercenary group? Our strength is far more than what you see, and it is not even just the Apothecary Guild and the Storm Wolf Mercenary Group. Unless you don't plan to continue in Kolan City..." The wind magician who couldn't sense Jia Lan's magic level at all became alert, with a threatening tone: "No! It should be said that unless you don't plan to develop in the entire Kolan State and the entire Zilago Continent. Otherwise... let me kindly advise you that you are against a huge force that you can't imagine. Behind us..."
"I don't need to know who is behind you..." Jia Lan's dark eyes flashed with black light, as if chatting with an old friend, and said with a polite smile: "Because it doesn't matter at all..."
The apprentice magic wand in Jia Lan's hand lit up with a red light, and the wind magician was shocked and quickly chanted the magic spell, wanting to cast magic against Jia Lan first.
The whistling wind element drove the air in the courtyard, forming a strong airflow and began to condense at high speed, and a ball of wind gradually took shape at the front end of his magic wand.
Jia Lan's hanging fingers trembled slightly, and he resisted the urge to release his most familiar arcane magic, which was indeed a bit difficult for him.
The spellcasting habit he had developed over the years allowed him to judge the type of spell released by the other party by perception without thinking most of the time, and react instinctively.
However, in this era that was completely different from his memory, he had to suppress this instinct and change his usual way of casting.
The hesitation in consciousness invisibly caused Jia Lan's reaction to be delayed.
The wind ball technique was a spherical airflow formed by countless wind blades. During the flight, the rotation range gradually expanded to form a scattered range attack.
This was a powerful wind spell. If used in a large-scale melee, it would be as ruthless as a meat grinder.
Perhaps because of fear of Jia Lan, this group attack spell was used by the opponent to interfere with his spellcasting.
If it were an ordinary magician, once he fell into the range of this spell, how could he have time to stand still and cast spells?
If he didn't quickly escape from the range of the spell, he could only wait to be cut into thin slices of meat by the wind blades that madly rotated and spread out with the wind ball as the center!
And the time consumed by the opponent's escape was enough for the wind magician to prepare a decisive killer spell to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, such as the simplest wind blade spell.
Jia Lan had seen the description of this spell in a book "Detailed Explanation of Conventional Magic of Each Department" in the library.
Obviously, the wind magician on the opposite side put a lot of effort into this magic.
Unlike ordinary magicians who used wind blades and wind arrows to fight in a conventional way, he took a different approach and cast a range spell at a very fast speed.
If it were a regular battle, I'm afraid many magicians would fall for this move.
Because in battle, especially in the magic confrontation between spellcasters, it is not like what ordinary people imagine, you cast a forbidden spell and I cast a forbidden spell.
On the contrary, no matter how high-level the spellcaster is, high-level spells are rarely used in magic confrontation.
Because although high-level spells are powerful and effective, they also have disadvantages such as slow casting speed and many restrictions.
