Chapter VII: Relaxation

There are usually three kinds of power in the [Life Form]: the power of life, the power of the elements, and the power of the spirit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The life force symbolizes a person's health, and the more powerful the warrior, the stronger the life force he has. However, when the "amount" of life force increases to a certain level, the power will begin to condense, and as the life span increases, the "quantity" of life force will slowly decrease.

Elemental power is linked to the mage's type and strength, and in Noah, there are six types of elemental power: earth, fire, wind, water, light, and darkness, each of which can only construct the corresponding type and derivative of the magic - for example, the water element can also be used for ice magic. The amount of elemental power that each creature is present with at birth determines whether it is suitable for becoming a user of magic, so the growth rate and final level of a mage is more dependent on talent than life force.

Psychic power is the basis for the use of both powers: the body needs spiritual drive, and the elements need spiritual guidance. Therefore, whether it is a warrior or a magician, even if you have not learned spiritual magic, meditation is an indispensable course - of course, whether a person's spiritual strength is strong or not, in addition to training, is also inseparable from his own beliefs.

However, unlike the living, only a few races of the undead who are "living corpses" can control the power of the elements - such as the lich, and most of the undead rely on the power of the undead with different characteristics and a few spiritual powers to survive.

As a ghoul, the [characteristics] of the undead power in my body are-

【Devour】

"Listen to Hill, your name is 'karma.'" On the balcony of Hill's bedroom, Alleyne leaned on the railing and looked at Hill, who was sitting cross-legged in the room and doing his daily meditation homework, when he suddenly spoke.

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, and Hill's face is still that sickly pale, and if it weren't for the fact that I still exist in this world unharmed, I would even treat the motionless Hill as a corpse.

"I think you should have noticed Ciel's abnormal physical condition." Alleyne said.

I? Notice what? I turned my head to look at Alleyne, my eyes full of doubt.

"Growth is still." Alleyne glanced at me coldly, "Don't tell me you don't know about this phenomenon. ”

…… I don't know, I haven't been with Hill for a few days. I know a little bit about the phenomenon of growth stagnation, but how can I find it after meeting it a few times.

"As an undead, you have entered into a symbiotic contract with ordinary living beings, and the two opposing forces, the power of the undead and the power of life, are forcibly combined through the contract." Alleyne didn't seem to intend to give me a chance to defend himself, "If it's the power of the undead of other attributes, it's not that the two can't coexist with the power of the spirit. ”

"But you're a ghoul!" There seemed to be some anger in Aren's words.

"The ghoul's characteristic [Devouring] will make the undead power in the body have the power to erode everything, and the object of erosion even includes spiritual power!"

"Fortunately, with the protection of the contract, Hill gained control of the undead power in his body by mistake, otherwise ......" Alleyne stepped away, "You just wait to bury my disciple!" ”

――――――――――

"Hmm......" turned another page of the book in his hand, and I carefully observed every piece of information about the various martial arts in the book, and tried to record them in my mind.

"Hmm......" My cheeks are in an irregular and uninterrupted metamorphosis movement, and the power source of the deformation is the white human paws that are constantly working on the sides of my cheeks.

"Hmm......" Hill softened on my back, and a third indecipherable syllable came out of his mouth.

"Xiaoye, when do you want to see it?" The head on top of his head finally began to speak.

"Huh?" The distortion of the mouth made it possible for me to express my doubts in only one syllable. Shaking my head, I tried to get rid of the two white hooves, but unfortunately I couldn't.

"I didn't let you sit on my bed and read." Ciel's hands tightened, "Oh, as I said earlier, combat coordination training. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let go. I put down the book and stretched out my hand to break the two claws, "Anyway, you just need to improve the efficiency of using the power of the elements and the proficiency of spell casting, and don't hit the wrong person in battle." ”

"Are you stupid?" The top of the head was hit with a jaw smash, "Where is the cooperation between a warrior and a magician so simple?" ”

"The moves, styles, and habits of your teammates, the control of the rhythm of the battle, and the ......control of the overall battlefield," Hill said in a series of terms, "If you can't get these things done, the so-called cooperation is better than doing it alone." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So? "I've been a little dazed by this barrage.

"So......" his head was twisted back, and Hill's chilling smile came into view, "Let's do special training!" ”

――――――――――

"Goo." I sat on the floor of the training room, swallowing the elbow meat in my mouth, feeling the tingling of the wound on my body, still with my back to Hill, and not looking back.

"Ahhh......h I'm sorry......" Hill sat down next to me and touched my shoulder.

"Ahh I didn't reply, concentrating on the ghoul elbow in my hand.

"That...... That incident just now...... I didn't mean to......" Hill's sneer could be seen in the afterglow.

"Hmm." I nodded in agreement.

Together with the additional spell and the pre-incantation, I chanted the fireball technique for more than a minute, pinched it in my hand for more than ten seconds to aim, and smashed it on my back when I avoided the opponent's straight knife by a fraction of a centimeter, and the huge impact force made the opponent penetrate my stomach with the knife and hand, and the high temperature generated in an instant directly made my back exude the unique aroma of barbecue, and even sterilization was saved, this kind of thing happened definitely a coincidence, well, absolutely.

"Ahhh......h

"Well, I'll admit that I had a bad taste attack." Hill's face was not good, "Say, what do you want?" ”

"Knock down! Push over! Push over! ......" shouted strange slogans......

"Books." I made my own request, "Buy me a book." ”

"Books?" Hill breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, what book do you want?" ”

"The Complete Works of the General History of the Mainland." A name comes to mind and then blurts out.

"Okay, big ......" Hill nodded, then was stunned for a moment, and repeated word by word, "The complete collection of the general history of the mainland?" ”

-- "The Complete History of the Continent", which tells the entire history of Noah's continent from ancient times to the past 100 years, and is still being revised and completed, that is......

"Hmm." I replied, "That's it, there are twenty-four rolls at the moment, each selling for half a silver coin, I have asked, and as soon as a new one comes out, I will buy it." ”

- Yes, as long as the world is not destroyed, since Hill is now "growth still", the estimated life expectancy will also be greatly increased, and the life span of the undead will be ......

So, I could read it one by one! You don't have to pay for it yourself!

"Uh......" Hill flinched visibly, "Can you change ......?" I put my teeth back on my elbow.

"Okay, okay, I'll start buying you roll by roll tomorrow, okay?" Hill finally raised his hand in surrender.

As a victor, I naturally have to squeeze out a smile at the right time: "Okay~"

"Soul light!" - Sure enough, Hill pinched my face again and began to pull it around. But now that I have what I want, I can afford it.

"Tsk...... The weak qi suffered a successful counterattack......" Swallowed there sighed inexplicably.

――――――――――

"Huh? Finished taking a shower? Hill's eyes lit up when he saw me coming out of the bathroom, "Come here." ”

What to do? Although I was a little confused, I walked over and ......

After a few moments, my eyes were already spinning, and even my body was a little disobedient...... It turns out that the undead also get dizzy?

"Now, it's a little strange to me that you're so well-behaved." My hands were still on my head, but the rubbing of my hair had slowed down. The corners of Ciel's mouth gradually hooked unconsciously, "You really don't look like a ghoul." ”

…… It's not so much that I'm not like a ghoul. After all, with my understanding of ghouls, I am basically not controlled by instinct, but I don't have any special abilities, so I guess I'm the only one.

"Ah~satisfied~" After rubbing it a few more times, Hill let go of his hand with a smile, "It feels so good." ”

"Ciel, where do I sleep at night?" I straighten my messy hair.

"Sofa." Hill threw me a quilt, "Well, you covered it, though you probably don't need it." ”

"Goodnight, then."
