Chapter 15: Showdown with Liu Yuanqi
Source Force Magic - Su Sheng Dafa, this is Liu Tao's last choice. The peculiarity of this skill is that after each battle, 30 mana is restored.
It doesn't seem like much, but casting the Faith of the Light Dragon only requires 20 mana, 10 magic arrows, and a maximum of 20 mana. If you unlock the skill 'Bachelor of Light', you can also reduce your consumption by 20%.
On this basis, 30 mana is more than enough. Especially this concept of 'after every battle', when playing games in the past, Liu Tao used to brush some low-threat wild monsters, restore mana through this skill, and finally use the full mana value to scare powerful enemies into doubt!
At first, I also considered the skill of soul drainage, dark magic. Later, after a closer look, there was no choice, the effect of this skill is that he needs to attack personally, and kill every enemy, you can recover 1 mana.
Liu Tao thinks that he is not a general who is partial to force, and it is too risky to go into battle to kill the enemy. Unless you point out the water system Flowing Water Shield skill, the Light System Expert Magic Heavenly Armor, or the Yuan Transformation Magic Secret Law Shield, there is no sense of security at all.
And 1 enemy soldier only gives 1 mana, 50 mana, you have to kill 50 people, so you have to become a murderer.
After weighing it up, Su Sheng Dafa is obviously the best choice at this stage.
At the same time, due to the unlocking of the source force novice magic area, he naturally learned two level 1 source magic: time manipulation and luck. The former costs 5 mana per cast, while the latter costs 10.
"It's supposed to be a head start, and luck in a broad sense, right?" Liu Tao read the explanation, and what puzzled him the most was that these two spells were both single magic at this stage, and they could only have an effect on a single target.
Unless you unlock the skill 'Source Force Comprehension I.', you can only cast it on multiple targets!
I want to test the effect, but unfortunately, his mana has been reset to zero at this stage, and at least tomorrow will not be able to try to perform this 'time manipulation', so I will not be able to do it for the time being.
Before the banquet began, he decided to go home and ask for a bottle of March's 'Jiuxian Brew'.
Since the formation of the militia group, he has packed his bags and lived in the barracks for the past few days, so he can be regarded as adapting to military life in advance. I didn't say anything to Liu Yuanqi in the end, so when I came back this time, I was a little apprehensive.
"I'm back......" Liu Tao returned home, knocked on the door and shouted. The door is unlocked, and Liu Yuanqi should be at home.
About three minutes later, the door slowly opened, and Liu Yuanqi's face appeared behind the door. He looked at Liu Tao, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You're back...... The cakes are in the back kitchen, remember to heat them with a retort......"
"Tonight, there is a banquet in Zhang's mansion, does my father want to go over together?" Liu Tao walked in, and then handed over the wine, "The wine fairy brew that has been cellared for three months can't be brought back casually for six months." ”
"I won't go to the meetings of your young people." Liu Yuanqi shook his head, but the wine was accepted. Ten times worth of wine fairy wine, sold to good wine people, can even sell their family's income for a year.
"Tonight is a celebration banquet, and family members can also go over ......," Liu Tao replied casually.
"Just the three of you to get out of the militia...... What kind of celebration can there be? Liu Yuanqi replied casually.
"Today, we have killed nearly 3,000 Yellow Turban thieves, killed hundreds of enemies, captured thousands of prisoners, and ambushed two thieves...... The captives have been handed over to the county lieutenant to deal with, but there is no reward, so he simply organizes a celebration banquet by himself, so he is happy. Liu Tao also replied casually, but noticed that Liu Yuanqi seemed to know about the militia group.
Generally speaking, there is nothing surprising, Zhuo County is so big, and there is no entertainment in this era, and it is impossible not to know that a militia group suddenly appeared. The problem is that the weather is still cold now, so it is not normal to say that Liu Yuanqi almost didn't go out the day before, so that he can know about the affairs of the militia group.
"Did the Yellow Turban Thief really kill him?" Liu Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, and his breathing became a little short.
"It seems to be a believer in the local Taiping Sect......," Liu Tao replied, "more than 3,000 people have been entangled, and after deducting a few hundred thugs, each of the others can fight." Do you know how I felt about today's battle? It's better to say it's a war than a group fight! ”
"The battlefield is unpredictable, so why do you have to set up a militia to take risks?" Liu Yuanqi replied casually, but there was a tremor in his tone.
"By the way, how do you know that I founded the militia?" Liu Tao felt that the heat was almost over, or it was not necessary, so he let him pretend to be stupid. Even though I know everything, I have to pretend that I have heard it for the first time.
"yes, how do I know?" Liu Yuanqi replied vaguely.
"Forget it, I'm about to come back and tell you about this anyway......" Liu Tao came directly to the living room, but when he saw the situation here, he frowned, "I haven't been back for five days, why is it like this here?" ”
There was a lot of wine bottles and a lot of food scraps. The whole living room is even more chaotic than the dormitory he lived in in college.
"Idle and bored, went to buy some wine and came back...... Oh, and things are also heard in passing. Liu Yuanqi replied casually, as if he realized something, and forcibly explained by the way.
In fact, I was afraid that I borrowed to buy wine, went to inquire about my own situation, and then learned about the militia group. After all, during that time, Liu Tao and Zhang Fei were very close, and if they didn't go home for a few days, they would go to Zhang's house to find it, so it must be right.
Looking at this messy appearance, I am afraid that Liu Yuanqi finally realized that the son he ignored had grown up unconsciously. Perhaps, there is some factor of happiness. Yes, it can be seen from the meat residue in front of the stove.
In my memory, this guy only eats some meat jerky with a little wine when he is happy.
"I told Yide that after that, my dividends will be set aside every month for you as living expenses. It's not a lot of money, but it's not a problem to buy a few house slaves, it's really lonely, just see which one is suitable, continue a string or something......" Liu Tao directly cleared an area, and then sat down, well, it's too troublesome to clean.
"You're not going to go home again?" Liu Yuanqi frowned.
"In the past ten days, I have to train soldiers in the militia group, and after ten days, I will lead the army to Jizhou. On the one hand, it was necessary to escort the two merchants back to Zhongshan County, which had already been agreed. Second, if the conditions permit, they will suppress bandits in Jizhou, and if the merit is enough, they will have to go to Luoyang to accept the reward, and they will not be allowed to serve as a county commander or county lieutenant...... Do you want to write to you when the time comes? Liu Tao said slowly.
"What are you kidding?" Liu Yuanqi, who originally sat down with Liu Tao, stood up abruptly at this moment, "I don't agree!" I didn't let you join the army in the first place, so I let you worship under Lu Zhimen! ”
Even if it's not good, it's the only son in the family. If something happens, he's going to die!
"I'm just explaining to you that I don't want to ask for your consent...... Liu Tao looked at Liu Yuanqi, and then bowed solemnly, "The child is not filial, this time he wants to make a contribution, and he can't serve on his side!" ”
"You...... You ......" Liu Yuanqi pointed at Liu Tao excitedly, and sat down for a long time, "Get out, don't come back!" ”
