Chapter 21: The Tranquility Before the War

After the leaders in the council hall dispersed, General Ben Lei walked alone on the path to the study in the middle of the house. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the grass and trees on the side of the road, and recalled every bit of the three brothers and their father and mother in this mansion when they were young. I recall that the three brothers frolicked together, practiced together, stood together under the supervision of their father, and ate pastries made by their mother together under the love of their mother. It all seemed like it was just yesterday, and he still remembered it vividly.

Touching the old trees in the garden, picking up the handkerchief that Lisa had left on the table, and looking at the guards who were patrolling, Ray Ben took a deep breath of the garden air, and quickened his pace in the direction of the study.

In the study, Ray Ben quickly wrote two letters and a notice, and called the guards standing at the door of the study. He sent two letters to the Imperial City quickly, one to the Imperial Palace, and the other to his father. There was also a notice sent to the Imperial Wind Mansion and handed it to Chief of Staff Scud, telling him to paste the notice as soon as possible and inform all the people in Dragonspine City in time to evacuate Dragonspine City as soon as possible. I also told Chief of Staff Skader to keep the people out of the city and the law and order in the city, and not to have riots and smashing and looting.

When all this was arranged, Ray Ben seemed to be very tired, leaning limply on the back of his chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

A short time later, Lisa's mother, Karenna, walked into the study and saw Ray Ben leaning on his seat, so she stepped forward and gently placed her hands on his shoulders, massaging and squeezing his shoulders.

Ray Ben stretched out his right hand and patted Karina's left hand behind him and said, "You've worked hard all these years. ”

Karena smiled slightly, "Compared to me, you are not harder. ”

Ben didn't say anything, just leaned there with his eyes closed, while Karena still massaged his shoulders. Half-ringing, he asked, "How is Lisa doing these days, have you calmed down and studied seriously with the teacher?" ”

"Well, don't worry, I'm here. In the past few days, she has been arranged to study in the morning and afternoon, and she has not gone crazy everywhere like before. The two teachers also reported to me that Lisa was very attentive and her learning progress was very fast. Karena whispered.

"Well, that's good. This child is used to playing on weekdays, and I'm really afraid that she won't be able to adapt to it for a while. After a pause for a long time, Ray Ben pulled Karena to his side and asked softly, "Karenna, do you remember how we met?" ”

Karena smiled, "Of course I do. I remember that you were a young mercenary who had just signed up for a short time, and you were recruiting people to do tasks with you in the Imperial City Mercenary Guild......"

In Lisa's room, Lisa is sitting in her bed, sensing the elements between heaven and earth. Puthrie's class was supposed to be over for some time this afternoon, but somehow, a soldier came in the middle of the talk and whispered a few words in Puthri's ear, and Puthri looked a little worried. So he told Lisa that he had some things to deal with temporarily, and asked Lisa to go back to her house first to continue to sense the elements of heaven and earth, seize the time to exercise her spiritual power and lay a good foundation. She also told Lisa to stay in her house and not to go out and about, and that Lady Karenna would go to Lisa and tell her not to leave the house yet.

I looked at Lisa's slightly furrowed brows, remembered the worried look on Puthri's face when he left, and combined with the private discussions of the maids in the Benley Mansion, I thought that this should have come after all, and it seemed that this battle was not as easy as Puthrie said a few days ago. I looked at Lisa with some sympathy, thinking that the essence of life in this other world is to more nakedly embody the principle of the supremacy of strength for the strong, as long as you have the strength to solve everything in the world, you will not be coerced by anything.

In the middle of the ring, I came back to my senses and continued to think about the elemental equipment and how to use the elemental skills that Puthri had explained the previous two days. In this world, except for the sparse number of spirit beast masters, most of the rest are elemental mages and martial artists.

The main characteristic of an elemental mage is a strong mind control. Because when an elemental mage casts an elemental skill, he needs to arrange and sort the elemental array through a large number of heaven and earth elements stored in these mediums such as the Yuan Stone or the Yuan Core, so as to form the skill element array to be cast, and finally form the elemental skill to be released in this elemental array, that is, the elemental magic. To accomplish this, you need to have strong mental strength and precise control. Even if the elemental mage has equipment to assist, these equipment only slows down the consumption of the elemental mage's mental power, or assists the elemental mage to control a certain amount of certain elemental magic, but the amount of elemental array formed by the skill is not reduced in the slightest.

However, since elemental mages need a large amount of heaven and earth elements when casting elemental skills, they also consume a lot of media. There are even some elemental spells that require many blocks of the elements in the medium to be able to cast them. But the mental power and mind control required for this kind of magic are also quite terrifying.

Martial artists focus on the use of elemental skills based on a strong physique. Because the martial artist is born without the spiritual power of an elemental mage, he can only activate a small part of the elements in the medium to combine the elemental array, and extend the skills released after the successful combination into the body or equipment, so as to cast the elemental skills of the martial artist, that is, the elemental martial arts, so the elemental array required to cast elemental magic is relatively much more complex than the elemental martial arts. Although the amount of heaven and earth elements that a martial artist can use is very small, and due to the lack of mental power, he cannot use a complex elemental array, but the equipment of a martial artist can make up for the gap between them and the mage, so that they will not suffer in the battle against the elemental mage.

Before the collapse of the world model composed of the three major factions, many researchers had done a lot of research on the elementalization of equipment. After the collapse of the worlds of the three major factions, many people left a lot of research materials in this area, and finally combined with the elemental array that elemental mages need to combine when casting elemental magic, they researched the method of carving elemental formations on equipment. However, it was still very imperfect, and it could not be combined with multi-faceted elemental arrays like elemental mages, so there were many more elemental mages than martial artists in that period.

Later, more than 8,000 years ago, a genius appeared, and his father was an equipment formation carver, responsible for carving auxiliary elemental arrays for elemental mage's equipment. And this genius has lacked mental power since he was a child, so he can only be a small martial artist in that noble era of mages. But fortunately, he inherited his father's mantle, and had an amazing talent for elemental array carving, and finally invented the multi-element array suppression equipment. That is, a weapon or armor is compressed and shaped with a lot of thin metal skin that has been carved with elemental arrays. Specifically, different element arrays are engraved on these thin metal skins, and through special connection methods, the element arrays on each thin skin are connected into a sequence in different orders, and finally combined into a complete set of elemental arrays. These connected skins are then stacked and compressed and shaped by a mold. Finally, add groove buckles that can be inlaid with media at the activation of the elemental array and attach some necessary decorations to the equipment, and finally form equipment that can be applied to actual combat. And this genius eventually became one of the greatest saint-level martial artists of the time, and founded the Astral Sect, and this person was the first Pope of the Astellar Curia, Jeben Hui.

However, this kind of equipment is very cumbersome to make, and there will always be errors in carving elemental arrays on many thin skins and connecting them in sequence, so the cost will be very expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

After Puthri explained the elemental equipment, he explained the elemental array and elemental skills.

The Elemental Array can be likened to a combination of commands. This command combination is composed of different element arrays that are regularly sorted and cross-sorted according to the order of commands. The elemental skill can be seen as the Heaven and Earth Elemental Element executing the commands of each layer of the Elemental Array in the order of the Elemental Array, and finally embodying the results obtained in the Elemental Array.

The elemental skills used by elemental mages and martial artists can be learned from books. These are all researched by the predecessors after countless repeated deliberations and experiments, and the elemental array required to cast elemental skills has been streamlined to the extreme. This shortens the time it takes to condense the elements and saves the amount of elements in the medium. However, the elemental skills created by these predecessors will more or less affect the spirit of exploration of future generations, so that people are limited to the thinking of their predecessors when exploring the composition of new elemental arrays, resulting in interference with the understanding of elements and the elemental will when exploring and performing skills.

At the end of Puthri's talk, he also explained the understanding of the elements when cultivating and the influence of the elemental will when performing elemental skills.

Whether it is an elemental mage or a martial artist, when performing elemental skills, or using the elements of heaven and earth for other purposes, they must have a deep understanding of the elements, so that they can communicate with the elements with their will with the feelings they understand, so that the elements can be infected by their own will and better used for themselves, which is like the unity of heaven and man. Therefore, when casting elemental skills, if the person's will is not firm, or the will is weak due to doubts, resulting in confusion of the elemental will, it is possible to cause the power of the skill to be cast to decrease, or it cannot be performed at all, and eventually cause the synchronization between the elements and the spiritual power to be unstable or wrong, resulting in mental power concussion and mental damage, serious damage to brain tissue, and direct brain death in severe cases.

However, some strong-willed people, in addition to being powerful when casting elemental skills, can also directly let some heaven and earth elements attach to their bodies. It doesn't produce skills, but it does have some support effects. The strength or weakness of this effect is also determined by the user's own will. For example, when running, the elements are concentrated on the feet, the wind element can produce the effect of people moving silently with the wind, the thunder element makes people thunder, the wind sound is as fast as lightning, the light element makes people light where they are, and the earth element makes people fly like a feather, etc. But not everyone can do this, only people or spirit animals whose minds are closer to nature and the elements of heaven and earth can do it through a strong will. And such an existence, there can be one in a million people.
