Chapter 510
Hearing Arthur's reply, the old man smiled and replied, "Spells are the easiest." ”
After speaking, the old man took something out of his arms, and Arthur looked at it, and it turned out to be a voice recorder.
The old man handed the recorder in his hand to Arthur, who took the recorder in a daze, but was a little confused, not knowing what the old man meant.
The old man looked at Arthur, who was a little stunned, and couldn't help laughing, smiled slightly, solved the riddle, and said, "This is the spell." You listen and read at the same time, and I'm beside you, correcting your pronunciation. ”
Arthur suddenly realized, and then understood the reason why the old man gave him the recorder, and at the moment he only blamed himself for his slow reaction, and couldn't help but scratch his head embarrassedly.
Knowing this, Arthur immediately turned his attention to the recorder, and without further ado, he thought about activating the recorder immediately and listening to the spell inside.
The old man stopped Arthur's movements at this time and reminded: "You'd better put down the fire staff first, otherwise, when you recite the spell, it is easy to accidentally touch the staff, and you will have an accident." ”
The old man's words were serious, and Arthur didn't know what he meant for a while, but seeing the old man's serious expression, he still obediently put the staff on the wooden floor beside him, and then activated the voice recorder under the old man's nod.
"Grun......t" followed Arthur's movements, and an obscure, incomprehensible voice came out of the recorder.
Arthur frowned, but still held on to listen. However, until the recording is all played. In fact, there are only about a dozen pronunciations, but Arthur couldn't stretch his eyebrows throughout the whole process, and he couldn't understand a single sound. He couldn't help but look at the old man again and again. I thought the old man could explain to him what language it was and what the recording meant.
But unexpectedly, the old man didn't seem to intend to explain at all, and just looked at Arthur like this.
Seeing this, Arthur knew that the old man had no intention of helping him with this, and Arthur sighed softly. In desperation, I could only be stunned and follow the pronunciation of the voice recorder. Repeat it note by note.
At this moment, the old man spoke, and as Arthur opened his mouth to read, he was beside him. Correct Arthur's pronunciation from time to time.
"This is a tongue curl...... This one should be flat-tongued...... Don't have any emotional overtones...... The last word should be emphasized!"
Arthur was supposed to follow along with the recording. It is not easy to learn one sound at a time, because there are some unusual pronunciations, and the old man's correction from time to time on the side makes him nervous, so that Arthur was stunned for nearly half an hour to practice this short spell. I barely got the pronunciation right.
Still, Arthur hadn't memorized the spell yet. No matter how much you try, you will always forget something from time to time.
For a while, Arthur was also a little impatient, feeling as if he couldn't find the north.
Seeing that Arthur began to appear restless, the old man spoke to reassure him. The old man told Arthur that in fact, Arthur's situation was normal, and ordinary beginners would encounter this state. Because the use of spells requires mental power. When the mental energy is depleted, the human brain will feel very tired.
When Arthur heard this, his expression relaxed slightly, and he immediately asked the old man for advice on how to solve the problem he had encountered.
The old man saw that Arthur was sincere and willing to give advice. He told Arthur that if he always felt like he couldn't remember the spell when he was learning to recite it, there were two ways to try it before using the staff.
The first is that Arthur carries a voice recorder with him, and it is best to listen to it as much as possible, and it is best to be able to write it down, if he can't write it down completely, just listen to the spell in the voice recorder completely before using the staff every time, and use the staff immediately after listening to it and his memory is relatively complete, which can ensure that he does not make mistakes easily;
Second, Arthur can choose to practice the magician cheats at the same time, embark on the path of magician, and become a magician apprentice. As long as Arthur could master the skills of a magician, the easier it would be for him to master the spell.
Arthur nodded as he listened, and carefully took note of the old man's words.
The old man then instructed Arthur on the next step - to try his hand at using the Fire Staff.
The old man asked Arthur to pick up the fire staff and start casting a spell in front of the wooden dummy not far away.
I saw Arthur stand up, his expression solemn, chanting a spell in his mouth, and the tip of the fire staff, visible to the naked eye, gradually condensed into a small fire spot, turning into a fireball the size of a golf ball...... It's just that in less than ten seconds, Arthur's forehead quickly condensed a layer of sweat, and his expression was relatively nervous, as if he was suffering from a force that was not easy to grasp.
"Quick, fireball out!" the old man kept watching Arthur's movements, and the fireball that grew larger, and suddenly, the old man shouted at Arthur.
When Arthur heard this, he immediately followed the old man's instructions and quickly flicked his staff.
Following Arthur's movements, I saw that the fireball flew straight out, hitting the dummy.
As soon as the small fireball touched the dummy, it suddenly turned into a raging fire, completely enveloping the dummy...... A minute later, the dummy was actually burned to a pile of ashes.
When Arthur saw this, he was shocked and delighted, he actually did it! He really did it! For a moment, Arthur felt as if he had become a magician who could really perform magic, and that indescribable pride suddenly arose. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Arthur would have felt like he was just dreaming.
No wonder Arthur made such a fuss, such an experience, even if he had money, he couldn't get it, so Arthur couldn't help but say to himself while holding the staff tightly: "Magicians really exist!"
Moreover, in this first-hand experience, Arthur was able to realize that the reason why he was able to emit flames was not only dependent on the fire staff, but also had some senses in his body.
In addition to Arthur himself immersed in this great surprise, Arthur's butler, who was standing not far away, was also stunned by the incredible scene in front of him, and he even had a hot look in his eyes.
It's just that compared to Arthur at this moment, he is more concerned about his extraordinary experience. Arthur's butler thought of a different situation.
For the housekeeper, he was for identity reasons. It's more about paying attention to Arthur's every move, whether it is good or bad for the family.
So, seeing that Arthur successfully cast the mana of the Fire Staff once, the butler thought that if the Duke really became a magician, it would be for the Arthur family. Definitely an unexpected boost. By that time, the Arthur family, will be in the country of rice flags. Even the entire Blue Mercury will be even more superior and noble.
So, the housekeeper face. He smiled with great satisfaction. At the same time, for the seemingly irrational move that the Duke spent more than 200 million euros to buy an item, he was immediately relieved and no longer felt heartache.
"Alright, you've mastered the spell and you've successfully cast it. Now, you open the cheats, and I will teach you how to embark on the path of cultivation. The old man saw that Arthur had succeeded. He also smiled slightly, and then said to Arthur. Arthur listened. Immediately gathered his mind, followed the old man's instructions, and turned the first page of the cheats......
An hour later, Yi Xingchen got the news that Arthur had become an apprentice warlock.
The old man who was in charge of teaching Arthur was an apprentice warlock, and he was also impressed by Arthur, believing that he had the potential to be a warlock.
In fact, the old man originally just wanted to teach Arthur how to get started, and then, let him go back and slowly cultivate by himself, regardless of whether he could become a warlock or not, anyway, as long as he mastered the spell, he could use the fire staff, which was considered to be the completion of the follow-up service attached to the transaction. However, Arthur's outstanding performance also amazed the old man.
It's a pity that Arthur is the duke of Miqi Country, and Yi Xingchen can't accept him, so he uses it for his own use, just as a friend, Yi Xingchen is of course happy for Arthur's changes.
Yi Xingchen returned to Xinghua in another world, and he specially went to see the key to the space passage and the production process.
Although Yi Xingchen had great expectations for the key to the spatial passage, he still had to be disappointed.
……
At the gate of Xinghua City, a transport team composed of thousands of Xinghua troops set off. Their main task is to escort anti-aircraft guns, shells, bullets and other materials to Nanban City and reinforce Nanban City.
Nanban Castle, in the center of the square, has a high platform.
Under the high platform, a group of barbarian soldiers, all fully armed, lined up neatly.
The barbarian soldiers were surrounded by some soldiers of the Second Legion of the Xinghua Army.
Neo stood on a high platform, holding a piece of paper in front of a barbarian who was half-kneeling in front of him, and said, "The Holy Emperor decrees that the Southern Barbarian Legion be the Tiger Legion...... Hu Yi served as the commander of the Tiger Legion...... I hope you will wait for the expedition and return triumphantly!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire! The Tiger Legion will be the most loyal army of the Empire!" shouted Huyi, who was kneeling on the ground.
Neo smiled, handed the letter of appointment and the legion token to Hu Yi, and said: "This expedition, be careful! I will wait for you to return triumphantly! In addition, the empire promises that if the Tiger Legion defeats the enemy, thirty percent of the spoils obtained can be controlled by the Tiger Legion!"
Hu Yi bowed, turned to look at the Tiger Legion below, his face was full of smiles, and shouted: "Sons, go with me!
Wow!
The Tiger Legionnaires immediately shouted in response. And Neo, who was standing on the stage, saw the fierce spirit of the Tiger Army under the stage, and also showed a satisfied smile, and was immediately full of confidence.
After a while, the soldiers of the Tiger Legion, who had been composed of local naturalized barbarians, were uniformly equipped, wearing iron armor on their tops, wearable leather pants on their bottoms, long knives hanging from their waists, riding pigs and horses, lined up in long formations, and left Nanban City.
Neo himself stood at the gates and watched them go on their march.
During his appeal for help from the Empire, the enemy forces attacked in small groups from time to time, and Neo had no choice but to close the outposts in the south. However, Neo was not a general who was willing to defend, and he immediately thought of a way to strike at the enemy.
The enemy is several tribes that have joined together to attack the Xinghua Empire. Neo was confident that he would be able to stop the enemy army under the walls of Nanban City. Therefore, he immediately rejuvenated the director of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, paid them credit, purchased a batch of weapons and iron armor, and armed the Southern Barbarian Legion. In other words, the north of the land of the Hundred Barbarians is extremely backward, and the level of refining weapons is extremely low, so there are few sophisticated weapons.
The Southern Barbarian Legion is equipped with industrialized swords, guns, and iron armor in Xinghua Mall, which is far more powerful than the barbarians in the land of the Hundred Barbarians. Believing that they could sweep away most of the barbarian tribes, Neo arranged for the Southern Barbarian Legion to attack the enemy tribes. Neo wants to make these barbarians who are against the empire understand one thing, the Xinghua Empire is definitely not something they can bully at will. Once the Xinghua Empire is provoked, although it is far away, it will be punished, and there will be the disaster of extermination.
It just so happened that the Emperor's will to give the Southern Barbarian Legion the official formation was first transmitted back through the network of the Intelligence Bureau, and Neo presided over the expedition.
Watching the Tigers leave, Neo descended the walls. He inspected the commercial streets of Nanban City, and looked at the somewhat depressed business atmosphere, with an angry look on his face.
Since the Second Legion of the Xinghua Empire set out on the expedition, the barbarians in the south of Nantucheng have all been shaken. In accordance with the policy guidelines of the Imperial Cabinet, Neo established the city of Nanban. Then, appease the subjugated barbarians, expand the territory, and promote the imperial culture, seeing that a great achievement is enough to be knighted, it will be successful. Neo was already thinking in his heart that it would not be a dream to return to the imperial court in the future and perhaps become a cabinet minister. Unexpectedly, there was another attack by the barbarian tribe, and the news that the barbarians were preparing to attack the city was also obtained. All of a sudden, it was a big mess up with Neo's expectations.
Therefore, Neo is eager to kill those barbarians who are disrespectful to the Empire.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Neo made his rounds and pondered, and after a while, he returned to the castle guard's mansion.
Neo knew that the purpose of the Tiger Legion's expedition was to take the back path of the enemy tribe. Therefore, the heavy task of dealing with the main force of the enemy's coalition forces is still to be placed on the Xinghua army. Neo must think about how to arrange tactics to meet the enemy when he returns home.
The superiority of the enemy's forces, primarily in the air. The presence of the Eagle Knights caused a serious setback to the intelligence system of the Xinghua Army, and it was difficult for Xinghua intelligence personnel to approach the base camp of the enemy's coalition forces. Therefore, the Xinghua army did not know anything about the movements of the enemy army.
Because of the lack of intelligence support, Neo had to concentrate the main forces of the Xinghua Army in the city, and did not see the main force of the enemy army, so it was easy not to fight.
Of course, Neo also had a hunch that the enemy army would not always appear. The purpose of their tribes uniting together was to occupy the Nanban City or drive out the Xinghua people.
As long as Nanban City remained in the hands of the Xinghua Empire, those tribal alliances would never be considered successful.
"How many days will it take for our support forces to reach Nanban?" asked Neo.
"According to information coming back from the country, reinforcements are on their way and should arrive in three days. The person in charge of the Nanban Intelligence Station replied. (To be continued.) )
