41. Roof anecdotes
Skillfully reaching out to the eaves outside the attic windowsill, I climbed out of the window like a raccoon cat, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset lying on the red tiles of the roof, the roof tiles were baked hot by the scorching sun during the day, and with the cool breeze of the evening gradually took away the dryness on the tiles, and now lying on it at this time, it happened to be warm, very comfortable.

There were a few gold-trimmed clouds floating in the sky, and the light blue sky was darkening little by little. The night watchmen of the city began to take to the streets, carrying a simple ladder and lighting the fine street lamps one by one, adding some oil to the lamps from time to time. The lights are dim in the reflection of the windows of the shops on the street.
A middle-aged woman was calling her child's name on the street, and she didn't know where the playful child had run, which made her a little impatient, and her steps were a little staggering, but just behind the street lamp pole made of black cast iron not far away, a naughty child pouted her buttocks, covered her mouth, and smiled like a crescent moon in her eyes, staring intently at the middle-aged woman, but she never refused to come out of the shadows.
In the small courtyard of Sister Guoguo, a red-haired girl appeared, she was wearing a tight salamander leather armor, which was very beautifully made, and the tanner painted the dark lines of the mandala flower with the juice of the flame grass on this leather armor, and added the thickness of each stitched seam with a stacking process, so that even if it was torn by great force, the leather armor would not be torn apart at the stitch.
She stayed in a chair under the lemon tree in the backyard for a short while, and then pushed Sue back into the house, she was supposed to be Anne, the other sister of Sister Guoguo, but in the past five years, I could count the number of times I saw her on one hand. Although I was able to go to the small courtyard of Sister Guoguo's house and sit with Su for a while, Su rarely said anything about Anne and Guoguo. The two of us sometimes just sat quietly, reading a book, while I took out a piece of parchment and kept drawing all kinds of magical symbols and patterns on it.
Looking at the long fiery red hair draped behind her head, and the large waves scattered like a burning flame, Anne looked over to me alertly. I knew that at this moment she found out that I was looking at them, and even if she withdrew her gaze, she would end up with a lewd voyeuristic impression, but it was better to wave her hand generously and say hello to the soda under the lemon tree.
Su's eyesight is not very good, maybe because of reading for a long time, which hurts his eyes. That's why I dared to lie on the roof and peek at her at dusk, and she couldn't notice it. But Anne's unexpected appearance. Let me surface. I simply sat up from the roof and said hello to their sisters.
As Anne pushed Sue into the room, I lay back on the roof tiles.
Originally, when I had this kind of leisure occasionally, I could still run to the river bridge, sit on the steps under the bridge with Taylor, and watch the crowd coming and going on the bridge. Walking around the stone bridge, leisure time is often like a glass of golden cider. In the light taste, there will always be some evocative sweetness and sourness.
On the side of the glass window of the neighbor's attic, two vague figures were reflected, and a strong arm with a cyan flying snake tattoo wrapped around the graceful and white body, clinging to the glass of the window, and the whole snow-white back was attached to the windowpane. Showing beautiful curves, it must be Bing that guy without looking closely, is secretly hiding behind the curtain and making out with his new girlfriend.
I thought to myself that this guy was a bit of a death beater, and his fiancée, Miss Kelly, was notoriously murderous on this street, and we all affectionately called Miss Kelly Da Li. Her family opened a butcher shop at the end of the alley for the penultimate family, his father was a tanner who sold meat for a living, it is said that he was very short-tempered, Da Li's personality is very similar to her father, I heard Fanny tell the story of Sister Da Li when she was a child, said that when she was eight years old, she once saw Bin being bullied by the children on the street, and those children chased after Bin with a stick and beat him violently, when Da Li directly pulled out a boning knife from the shop, and almost castrated the children directly with the knife.
Since then, Bin has been frantically pursuing Da Li, and finally after he returned from serving in the Northern Army, the two quickly got engaged, but at this time, the woman in the window must not be Sister Da Li, Sister Da Li's skin is not so white. I'm really a little worried about Bin, if this is discovered by Sister Da Li, with her violent temper, I don't know what Bin will be repaired into?
On such a cool and windless evening, lying on the warm roof tiles, closing my eyes and feeling the free magic elements in the air around me, those fire and water elements floating in the air, occasionally stick to my skin, will fly into my hair, will melt into my skin along my pores, will swim in my body along my blood, and some will stop in various nodes in my body, this is my original way of condensing mana, but many nodes can't gather too much mana, how much mana can be left in the nodes, it has a lot to do with my body's ability to resist magic and elemental affinityNow my magic resistance and elemental affinity are very low, so I don't have much mana left. There will also be some wind and thunder elemental mana, which will slowly be deposited on the shoulder blades behind me, and those two fan-shaped bones are now like batteries filled with energy, if it weren't for my own flesh and blood, I believe they would even glow.
Before today, even if I had a super keen sense of magic, I would never have felt such a subtle microcosm, but when the magic door in my body was pushed open, I found that I could actually experience the magic elements that were free in the air, and when I meditated, I could also detect the subtleties of those subtle magic entering the body. All the remaining magical elements were sucked into the body by the magic vortex formed in the lower abdomen, converging into the deep vortex, which was like a bottomless pit devouring any magic that came close to it.
I have read a lot of magic books, and the magic sheepskin scrolls of the orcs have also made some explanations on human magic, especially the awakening of the magic pool, the biggest secret of human mages, has always been the focus of the orc shamans, although those orc great shamans have not solved why humans have magic pools until now, but they are quite familiar with magic pools.
For human magicians, the magic pool in the lower abdomen is like a pool of magic water in the body, usually gathering magic power from the limbs. Collected in the magic pool, when the magicians chant the magic spells, it is the time to release these magic powers. Many texts describe the magic power in the body of a human magician as a pool of water. That's what I'm most confused about, even though I awakened the magic pool today, I don't think it's a magic pool. It's a very weird magic vortex.,This magic vortex is absorbing the magic power of the outside world all the time.,It won't only restore the mana when I'm meditating.,Of course, the effect of restoring the mana when meditating is better.,But in normal times.,I can still clearly feel that my body is constantly absorbing the mana of the outside world.。
With this terrifying magic pool, I don't think the "heating" skill that old Kuru taught me in the future will probably never be able to continue to level up, because I can't always keep my magic pool in a state of depletion, after having the magic pool. Every time the magic pool in my body is depleted, it will seriously damage my mental power.
I casually used my fingers to draw a magic pattern circle in the air, and the "Fire Tongue Weapon" that could have been easily cast failed very strangely, and I was a little surprised to see the magic power scattered in the air, and I couldn't think of the reason for it for a while. I continued to draw simpler "anti-magic" again, and the aura of anti-magic encircled my feet and disappeared after a moment. There was a strange feeling in the body that was like nothingness, which was also a state that I had never experienced before, although I didn't try anything. However, I can clearly feel that my body's magic resistance is much higher than before, which means that the "magic resistance" power I am now using has increased by more than one level.
I can't understand. Why did the next 'Cloak of Shadows' fail as well, this skill is the foundation of my life, I have relied on it to survive countless dangers, this magic skill has made it impossible to interrupt after casting spells because of deep meditation, since then. I've rarely failed with the Cloak of Shadows. Unexpectedly, those cumbersome magic spells and runes today did not allow me to successfully release the shadow cloak, and I was a little panicked for a while, I was thinking: Is this the price of my awakening magic pool?
Suddenly, a picture appeared in my spiritual sea. That picture is a quote from Old Kuru in the Wasteland that he told me that he was going to teach me some general magic for some time to come. He said that these magic did not belong to the orc tribe, nor did they belong to the magic knowledge of the human world, and then he taught me one by one the magic skills of "anti-magic", "heating", "shadow cloak", "fire tongue weapon", "water walking" and so on, these magic skills once allowed me to defeat many enemies in the northern foothills of the wasteland.
But now, after I awakened the magic pool, I couldn't use any of these skills, and I was a little frustrated.
I reached out and removed the Tiger's Eye Stone Drum from my waist and tried to pump a fire element into it again, but to my dismay, the Tiger's Eye Stone Drum didn't respond at all, as if it had sent the mana into the stone.
What is the reason for this?
Why did these once prosperous universal magic disappear later, and even gradually disappear into the dust of history, and gradually lose their inheritance. What is the reason for the loss of these magics?And when I didn't awaken the magic pool, I was able to barely use the simple magic of the beast tribe, but now I can't use even the most basic stone drum totem, what is going on?
This also sadly felt that the shaman elders of the Orcs, who were in charge of managing these stone drum totems, didn't care much about the stone drum totems in those warehouses, and they had also mentioned that these stone drum totems were of no use to the Terran magicians.
I began to run the magic in my body, and then I realized that every time I used the magic power, I would naturally extract the magic power in the magic whirlpool, and patted my head fiercely, and I said to myself: Why am I so stupid, obviously old Kuru has warned me that these magic skills awakened to the magic pool of the mage can not be used, why did I forget about this matter to the back of my mind.
I tried to give up using the mana from the magic vortex when casting my magic skills, and instead drained the mana from the nodes in my body. But this is a bit difficult for me, I collect the mana hidden in the nodes in my body little by little, and sometimes if I don't pay attention, some of the magic emitted from the magic pool is mixed in, and then the spell fails without exception.
I started to get irritable, these inexplicable irritability came from the extreme panic in my inner world, I started to panic, after losing the barrier of magic, I felt like a weak chicken, and I even wanted to hide in the basement of the Ryan T wine store at the moment. I frantically tossed my hair up, my throat was a little dry, I swallowed hard to froth, trying to find a glass of water to drink only to find myself still lying on the roof tiles.
Accidentally loosened a tile, some of the triple soil between the tiles loosened, rolled down to the eaves, making a messy breaking sound of "bang, bang, bang", and at the same time alarmed the pair of intimate men and women next to the window next door, the girl didn't expect that there would be someone on the opposite roof who was watching their silent movie, and hid behind the curtain with both hands to cover the ****, Bin is **** pushed open the glass window with his upper body, poked his head out and looked around, and saw that it was me, so he said to me nonchalantly:" Hey, Jijia, you kid don't go to your godsister to ask for milk, hide on the roof and secretly look at something, Tracy's little girl must taste good, you don't want people to get ahead of the curve, and you will marry a second-hand product in the future!"
Bing is a mean person, he knows very well that I am not on good terms with Tracy, he is even a member of Tracy's small camp, but it doesn't seem to be what I think, he is not Tracy's friend, I guess the reason why he can be such cynical to me is actually from Leon, he should be Leon's friend, otherwise there is no reason to say such shady and mean things to me in this situation.
I looked up at the sky with a blank face, and in the evening sky, there was a faint purple color against the fire clouds, and I said to myself, "It may be raining, Bin, you must remember to close the window!"
Bing's idea at this time was actually to make trouble, he wanted to take the opportunity to fix me, and Bing was much older than Tracy. He always thought I was a stinking hairy boy, and he could even knock me down with just one hand. If I show even the slightest displeasure, he has a reason to do it to me. But I said very elusively, "It's going to rain!"
In fact, the relationship between Ryan and Bin's father is very good, between the small attic of our two families, there is a wire, in normal times the function of this wire is to dry clothes, but at this time it has become a medium for conducting lightning, I will step on this wire, and then I will concentrate on melting the frozen ice in the sea of spirits, and a silver arc of electricity will quickly rush out of my body, along the thin wire.
He looked at me with some confusion, but I smiled and said to him: "When you are a dog, you must remember to be happy in front of your master, people can't see it now, who can you show your loyalty like this! When you are a man, your mouth must not be so stinky, otherwise you may be struck by lightning!"
Before I could finish speaking, I screamed with my bare upper body out, and the whole person looked like it was about to explode, and I fell on my dark back, as if I had been struck by lightning.
Seeing that things were not good, I quickly drilled back into the attic, and at this time, in the attic of the neighbor's house next door, there was a noisy sound, I secretly pursed my lips and smiled, and there was an indescribable refreshment in my heart. Of course, the young man named Bing would not be in any danger, but he would certainly suffer something, I thought.
As I peeked in through the attic window, I saw Tracy sitting at the wooden table by the window, with one hand on her chin, looking intently out of the window, apparently she hadn't expected me to suddenly return to the attic and happen to see her peeking at me.
Tracy slowly stood up and walked straight out of my room, and when she was about to reach the door, she turned to me and said, "Congratulations, you've become a magician!"
I guess that's probably Tracy's mildest side! She didn't even want to question Bin, but pushed open the wooden door of the attic and walked out with light steps! )
