Volume 2 The Stars Are Bright Chapter 24 Many people are useless
Mu En doesn't have much of an opinion on who to listen to, as long as it doesn't affect his rest.
The rules of Nokari are like this, the academy will prepare a space magic guide of about ten cubic meters for each team in advance, no matter how many things their team has gained, the final calculation of the value of the items in this magic guide, and then evaluate.
In the more than 2,000 years of the empire's history, there has been no shortage of tragedies or antics that have occurred in order to get a higher rating.
However, although it is only calculated that the value of the items in it is calculated, it is actually doubtful whether the loot can be filled, after all, if you want to increase the overall value, you have to grab the most valuable part of the prey as much as possible, and it is not an easy job.
The most incomprehensible thing is that each school still has an order to avoid hunting as much as possible, that is, you can't win by quantity, and you must choose the best and kill as little as possible.
In Karna's words, it was the group of people who had a lot of snot in their brains.
To be reasonable, many things can't be seen on the outside, and you can really only rely on luck!
But no matter what the top says, the children have to do something, or the teachers who have disappeared from the top of their heads will suddenly appear and kick their butts vigorously.
The group departed, and Chloe curiously asked why he didn't carry everyone's luggage. It turned out that his backpack was put into his team's magic guide, and the reason why others didn't put it was because this magic guide was something special, and it was a bit complicated to put it in and easy to take out, and it was necessary to unlock three magic matrices, which was also to invisibly increase the difficulty of wild hunting, and many people picked sesame seeds and lost watermelons at the beginning, and in the end, they could only fill up the number indiscriminately so that the final score was much lower than expected.
Wild hunting is not a simple combat competition, but a real comprehensive strength consideration. And it's also a way for this group of generally arrogant geniuses to learn to work as a team.
In the face of nature and the world, everyone's power will seem small, even the greatest heroes.
Karna got a second spear that Muen had carved for him, heavier and more delicately textured than the last.
Given that the legendary Thor possesses Kungunir is a great spear, learning guns and spears is a compulsory course for all students in the Thunder Academy. So if there is a person who goes out and sees a mage with amazing strength and a love for hand-to-hand combat, then the Eight Achievements have run out of the Thunder Academy.
In line with the idea of not favoring one over the other, in fact, Mu En also prepared one for each of the other two people, but the auxiliary circuit on the gun body was not so seriously inscribed, at most to ensure that the circuit itself would not explode due to instability.
Muen wanted to answer Chloe's question, but there didn't seem to be any good excuse when she thought about it, so she just said that she was too lazy.
It is no exaggeration to say that the gatekeeper of the Arcane Sage can be regarded as a quasi-first-class magic circle master in the world, not to mention his personal disciple - well, he has not personally taught it, but even so, there is his proud disciple Ansher to help Mu En advance in the magic circle, and Anschel's understanding of the magic circle has even been highly affirmed by the elf king.
Although the Elven King is sitting on the world's largest and most complex magic circle, Avalon, this does not mean that the Elven King is also extremely proficient in the magic circle. Although the long life of elves allows them to excel in any field, it is true that it takes talent to enter the supreme temple of each field, especially since a method between art and science and engineering such as Circle Studies cannot be fully understood by books.
Moreover, the beauty of metaphysical art really helps the operation of the circle. This is also why this discipline is so love-hate at the same time.
Therefore, such a three-layer magic matrix is not too difficult for Mu En, he only adapts to one night, and he can take out the items in it in ten seconds, so in order not to let himself be tired due to the loss of physical strength, he put everything in the matrix, and only wore the slender Chinese sword with a strong elven aesthetic style.
This is also specially prepared by Mu En before setting off, and he specially found the best blacksmith in the province of Aldan to customize, which is a little thicker than the ordinary thin sword, but narrower than the broadsword long sword, and was named the thin sword by himself.
This strange name is given because the sword body is not unchanged and straight, but there is a slightly adducted shape in the middle of the sword, like a beauty's waist, and in order to have strength, that place is also slightly thickened, and there is a blood groove hidden in it;
This sword can be said to be worth a lot of money, although the steel itself is not particularly high-quality, but it is also a very good material that can be found on the ordinary market, if the workmanship creativity of such a sword is placed in the imperial capital, even this kind of low-end material for nobles can be sold for a price of nearly a black gold coin.
Because this sword was designed by Muen himself, it is very special, and especially for the most important things for the upper class, only special things can carry their vanity.
And the inscription of the magic circle, even Mu En barely completed it with the help of two magicians from the Aldan Tower, in his opinion, there are still many flaws, but there is no way, his current ability is not enough to do so well.
After Mu En's answer, several girls laughed, obviously not expecting him to be so "honest".
"It's funny that there are people who say they're lazy. ”
Apparently because he felt it was a waste of words to explain. Karna hurried out to speak to his brother.
As the crowd went deeper, a strange smell unlike the other forests scurried into everyone's nostrils, and although it was difficult to describe, there was no doubt that it didn't smell good, as everyone frowned slightly.
"What's the situation?" Karna asked.
"Goblins are a corrupt race, and although they have counteracted the fate of the corrupted into lichs with the power of the once holy elves, they have always been an inferior people. It's a mixture of their bodily fluids, feces, and so on, and the smell of the forest after most of the smell has been purified. Mu En lived up to the name of the humanoid self-propelled encyclopedia, and the words came out like beads.
"It won't make any difference, will it?"
"No, it's the way they mark their territory, just like any other beast, except that the smell of it means we've broken into the territory of a goblin tribe. ”
Chloe heard the conversation between the two, turned around and smiled and said that Mu En still knew a lot, but Mu En just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Because he didn't deliberately lower his voice, everyone else heard it, and they all showed a defensive posture, but they didn't show too much nervousness, after all, they had already had a short career as low-level mercenaries in the winter before, not to mention that they could enter the top academy no matter how low the ranking was, and they really didn't have the ability to do it?
The girls of the Wind House withdrew on either side, Karna in front, and Alexander and Robert on the lookout for signs of being outflanked behind. And Mu En didn't move, still walking in the middle of the formation, looking very cowardly.
But the result of the discussion between the two captains before was that Karna and Muen were at the head of the array, and since Karna himself had no opinion, Chloe didn't bother to care.
"Alexander, Robert, there's something coming up in the back fast, exactly two. Mu En opened the pocket watch that had been engraved with the complete Burning City Flame, which had been repaired by someone he had found, and it was engraved with the perception circle made by Mu En himself, which was not very effective, and could only be used to avoid some beasts that did not know how to hide their breath.
Hear the instructions Alexander and Robb light up the amplification circle of the spear.
"Twenty meters in five seconds!" Muen strode forward, placing his hand on Karna's shoulder, handing over his thin sword.
Karna understood, unsheathed his sword, and instantly surged magic to slash through a large area of forest in front of him.
I can smell the crisp sound of the branches, and the leaves are falling.
Behind him, after silently reciting five counts, the two of them each released a hidden thunder, killing what they still thought they hadn't found in an instant.
"Quickly retreat to the right rear. Mu En closed his pocket watch, ran up the trunk of the tree and began to leave at high speed, not even bothering to rummage through the loot.
In just an instant, the four people of the Thunder Courtyard had disappeared, and the girls of the Wind Courtyard were still in a daze for two seconds before chasing after Chloe under Chloe's orders.
After about two hundred meters of progress, Mu En saw a bear hole and stopped, and the other three also stopped.
"The bear is not at home, we are here for a while. After walking for a few hours, Mu En was actually very tired, and he urgently needed to rest now.
"What if they don't come along?" Karna asked, glancing in the direction they came.
"It's okay, it's not bad to be separated, I think they go deeper, but my state is easy to become a drag. Mu En sighed, and the feeling of sleepiness in his spirit became stronger and stronger, so he leaned against the entrance of the cave and fell asleep.
A few seconds later, the girls of the Wind Courtyard found the boys who had suddenly started fighting and then suddenly started running away.
"What are you doing?" Chloe was visibly a little upset.
"The Commander is sleeping, you wait until he wakes up. Karna shrugged and gestured to Muen, who had already slept.
"It's not yet noon before you have to go to bed? Is he a pig? Wake him up." A student from the Wind Academy frowned.
Karna wanted to talk more, but he was a little apprehensive when he saw the unkind eyes of the four people, so he beckoned everyone to sit down and explained to them succinctly the situation that Mu En was unwilling to talk about before.
"Most of the time you're in a lethargic state, and you're going to be able to make it to the semi-finals like that?" Chloe frowned, obviously uncomfortable with the news.
"That's the case, I heard Dan say before that he fainted while playing against a fire academy, and that was because his mental power was overused, so if you don't let him rest well, he is likely to faint suddenly and scare you. ”
"That's too much of a drag. "Obviously, these girls in the Wind Academy are very important to their grades.
"With him, you can do more with less, and I'm sure you can roughly understand what it's like to reach the Final Four without waking up. There is time for wild hunting, and you don't have to fight all the time. That's all, the choice is yours, and I'll be on his side anyway. Karna held the spear and sat in front of Muen, intentionally or unintentionally, to prevent others from waking him up.
It didn't seem that such a choice was embarrassing, the girl from the Wind Courtyard who spoke before still had a disgusted expression, and Alexander and Robert also stood in the distance, looking like they were planning to reduce his team directly?
"It doesn't matter if you want to leave the mentor, but your grades can't be with us, as for what you want to do with your grades, you can do it yourself. Karna looked a little surprised, but he didn't want to keep them.
Everyone else looked to Chloe, after all, she was the heart of the team.
"I decided to go with them, and the five of you will tell the academy if you have a good score. Chloe said.
Everyone didn't expect such a result, and their eyes became a lot stranger.
Something is wrong, something is wrong, the eldest sister is not like this in the academy.
"Uncle. Chloe called out to her teacher.
"I recommend that you work together, I'm probably not going to be able to take care of it. Others are okay to say that if something happens to you, my father might kill me. "There is a breeze floating, and Al Luoxun shows his body in the superposition of the wind breath.
"It's okay, you just go and protect them, anyway, Mu En and I have already reported it, and Nogai can just have fun." ”
"With your competitive nature, I don't believe you'll 'just have fun'. "Er Luoxun grew up watching Chloe, so she naturally knows her niece's character.
Chloe grimaced, then relieved that Eroson didn't have to worry, that there was a rhythmic device that needed a break at any time, and they wouldn't rush in.
"I don't think it's really necessary, you probably don't know the dangers that can come with venturing with Muen. Karna persuaded Chloe not to join him, after all, although he didn't know that he had the privilege of meeting the Dark Sage last time, he still knew that he didn't want to go through that situation a second time.
"That's it! No matter how scared you are, you have nothing to fear, you go and protect them, there are a lot of them. Chloe is obviously also pampered, and what she believes will not change easily.
Erroxun nodded, said a few more words, and then disappeared.
"Why don't we go together?" the girl who had spoken before suddenly relented.
"No, I think you're going to be holding back. Chloe's words were unceremonious, and seeing that they were still not leaving, she called out the high-ranking magister again as if she were a summoned beast, and then asked her uncle to send the group away.
Then Er Luoxun really got her way.
Alas, is it true that such an obvious eccentricity does not cause public outrage.
"Have a vision, the little princess of the Huanshu family. Karna gave Chloe a thumbs up, and the ring tree was the family crest of Chloe's family.
"How do you know my identity?"
"Because that Lord Er Luoxun has a family crest on his body, there are only two people from the Huanshu family in the Wind Courtyard, one dean and one he, this is common sense. ”
"Well, Karna, have you finally begun to understand common sense, and I'm quite happy. Mu En opened his eyes slightly and teased.
"Why did you sleep for so long?"
"You're so noisy that you woke up. ”
Chloe suddenly sat down very close to Munn, and brought her face closer, the tip of her nose already touching.
"What are you doing. Mu En instinctively wanted to shrink back, but even the stone behind him couldn't shrink in.
"Was your team's move rehearsed?" Chloe asked.
"No, it's not. ”
"Is there really something approaching? Why are you cutting down trees?"
"You have a lot of questions......"
"I want to know!"
“...... Two goblins approached, chopping down trees to make them mistakenly think that we were fighting in front of us, and to make them more anxious to get into positions for killing. And then kill other people's people in other people's territory, and don't run away, what are you waiting for? ”
"There's no need to cut down trees at all, and it won't take much to kill them. ”
"Princess, you haven't read, have you?" said Karna, teased, "The tree in front of it is obviously a fragrant wood, and the Empire often uses it to put it in the latrine to absorb the smell of cheap wood, not to hide the smell and attract them to the bait, why not kill two birds with one stone." With that, Karna reached out and clapped Muen in the face.
Then he ran to the bear's den to hide and rest, since the bear dared to sit here, it means that this is outside the goblin's sphere of influence. Muen added.
"How did you get them so consistent. ”
Karna stretched out his hand and pointed at himself and said, "The two of us have a tacit understanding, after all, we can be regarded as being born and dying together and living together every day, as for those two little traitors, I told them before I left to do whatever they say." ”
As Karna spoke, Munn and Chloe suddenly signaled for him to be silenced at the same time.
The gift of sensitivity not only enhances the owner's magical senses, but also improves the five senses, but at the cost of them feeling more physical and mental pain than ordinary people.
The fallen leaves in the jungle are accumulated over the years, and the bottom is corrupted into dirt, then the dry dead leaves, and finally the fresh fall, and in the jungle, where there are few insects singing and birds singing, they make a creaking sound that is gently trampled by something.
Mu En silently recited the mantra to enhance his sense of hearing and listened to the stone.
"Alone, we were discovered. Mu En lowered his voice.
At this moment, there is an undercurrent surging in the circuit of the three of them.
