Chapter 63 Digging a pit

Of course, it was a good thing to make his friends stronger, but as soon as he heard that he would be asked to preside over the enhancement ceremony, Feige immediately refused. "It doesn't work, I can't do it. ”

"Master Kiplin says you're fine. Whether it's the understanding of the enhanced ritual rune array or the use of divine magic, you can do it - I trust his judgment. ”

"Even if I believed him, I didn't believe in myself. This matter is not negotiable, I will not use Tron and them to do experiments to practice my hands, this kind of idea is crazy!" Feige waved his hand violently and said very resolutely: "No negotiable! Even if you force me again, I will not do it!"

"Can you strengthen your cats, but not help them?"

Feige stared at Kylie, his gaze cold. If Kylie still spoke up to persuade him at this time, Feige would definitely punch him in the nose, and would rather break up than compromise on matters involving life.

It was because of the research on the augmentation ritual that Feige knew the principle inside. The ritual of body transformation is very dangerous, and the blessing of the goddess of truth and thunder is the core safety mechanism of this ritual. The goddess is kind, the goddess is orderly, so she does not harm others, always tries to protect others as much as possible, and does not change her mood and thoughts indiscriminately. The safety and controllability of the whole ritual is based on these two qualities. And it is the person who invokes the goddess and activates these two key qualities who presides over the ceremony.

Feige can also call, but under the influence of the devil's element, he can call on the "orderly" trait at most. This is exactly the same as his lame leg magic casting ability. Lacking "kindness", he can't use magic to heal others, so how can he help his companions in the ritual?

With only "order", the augmentation ritual can also begin, proceed, and end, and all steps will be performed correctly, but cannot be adjusted according to the state of the recipient. After all, order is a state, or a collection of multiple states, never a "all" state, and when a change occurs, it is called goodness to ensure the safety of personnel first, rather than the success of the spell.

Lord Kipling's trust in Feige is a good thing, and it can also be called kindness, which is an important manifestation of his traits as a priest of the Goddess of Truth Thunder. Feige understands his good intentions, but he can't ignore the risks and disadvantages just because something is good. Where in this world is there perfection? Where is there safety? There is no essential difference between being blinded by good and being blinded by evil.

After rejecting Kellet's offer, Feige was reluctant to stay on the walls any longer. He thought about it as he walked down the steps, and instead of going back to his room, he turned around and went to find them. Three young friends got together and were sharing stories and anecdotes from the past few days. Feige joined in, and Tron preemptively said: "We discussed, this time I and Wu Mama will strengthen first, and Ramsden will train hard to catch up as soon as possible." ”

"There are four hyenas outside, and together they are enough for an enhancement ritual. Although the ritual of using the hyena can only increase physical fitness and will not have any special abilities, the threshold for requirements is low, and Ramsden can also bear it. Feiqi watched the three of them's eyes brighten and brighten, and said before they were excited and celebrated, "First of all, I won't preside over the enhancement ceremony for the three of you, and I must wait for Lord Snowy Owl to come back." ”

"Can you preside over the ceremony?" the three men asked in unison—their eyes wider, rounder, and brighter!

Feige cupped his forehead, thinking that he might (must be) thinking that something had gone wrong. Under the eager gaze of the three men, he explained the discovery on the city wall and the thoughts of Kerie, and then explained the reason why he could not preside over the ceremony.

"Then as long as you learn healing spells, it means that you can preside over the ceremony?"

Wu Mama's mind was spinning quickly, and his question made Feige a little confused, but he could only nod his head in confirmation. "It's just that the general treatment is not enough, and the higher the level of treatment, the better. ”

"Of course, of course, we know that. Ramsden's face turned red and rubbed his hands vigorously, he fell into a state of excitement when he heard that he could also perform the enhancement ceremony: "Feiqi, my enhancement needs are the lowest, so I am the safest, isn't it? I don't think it's okay if I don't need to be treated, so can you preside over the ceremony?"

"yes, yes, we think you're okay. Wu Mama shook Feiqi's arm, her tone was delicate and persuasive, and her eyes were pointing outward to launch a small star: "Finally, Instructor Kailie has spoken, hurry up and take advantage of this time to do things!"

"What kind of mess?!" Feige quickly broke free: "No way, don't think about it! Life is your own, but the feelings of friends and the care of comrades-in-arms are mutual." If you have the ability to offend me with all your might, make me hate you, and then don't take your lives seriously, I will naturally be able to experiment with you! Otherwise, I can't get over it in my heart, and who will pay for it?"

"Hey, hey......" Ramsden rubbed his nose, covered his mouth with his hand, lowered his voice, and pretended to say, "It seems that it really can't work." Wu Mama nodded vigorously.

Finally settle the matter and let the three guys let him go, but Feige won't let him go. Not being able to heal will always be a problem for him, and it will always have to be solved. This is not only to be able to better play the role of the cover of the "pastor" identity, but also to be responsible for oneself and a choice that is beneficial to one's friends.

So, in addition to working with everyone to fortify the castle, guard the fortress, and strengthen the vigilance training, he set the short-term research direction of healing ability—even the simplest treatment can be used. Sorting out the knowledge currently mastered, the Yongli Continent, specifically here in the Principality of Aria, there are three common ways of treatment.

The most common, effective, and safest way is still magic. The orderly and virtuous goddess guarantees the effectiveness and stability of the treatment, and the devout believers - whether they are spiritual or donor - can be healed by the priest.

However, the priest needs a place to pray, and at least a temple to set up the ritual, otherwise the effect of the magic will be greatly reduced. This is not a problem in cities and large towns, but not in remote or poor places. Folk remedies and herbs are the second treatment, which are cheap and adapted to local conditions, but the adaptation is very small, and it is only aimed at the common weak diseases in a specific area, especially the recovery speed of external injuries is not as fast as that of divine magic. On top of the herb is the natural origin spell, which is in the hands of a group of spellcasters called druids. They are far away from the crowd, more like nature spirits and beasts, and Feige can't learn either.

The third is alchemy. Feige studied alchemy, and the initial purpose was also to heal himself and get rid of the effects of various drugs. In the field of alchemy, there are the most formulas for obesity, impotence, infertility, and many more are abortions, chemical castrations, chronic poisons and the like. Obviously, most of the alchemic prescriptions came from the unobtrusive underground battlefields among the nobles. Occasionally, a few remedies are either too expensive to be universally used, or they appear to be medical, but in fact they are secretly poisoned.

Methods that are ineffective and full of evil intentions must not be used on friends. But what if we can get the best out of it? People can learn from their mistakes, increase their abilities, and of course, they can gain knowledge from "deviations" and "incomplete successes."

Of course, we still have to solve the matter of the beast attack first.

Feige finds out that he has been deceived by Kylie, and the situation is not at all as urgent as he says. "The wild beasts of the mountains will appear in groups", what "the wild beasts will not give up until they have achieved their goal", what "harassment day and night without time to rest" - all these are frightening. Kailie has had a way for a long time, and has always had a way! That bastard instructor just wants to take advantage of Feige's inexperience to see if he can stay calm in the face of threats and pressure! This is still a test!

The bait potion is not fake, the effect is also very good, and it is really dangerous to use, but no elixir can attract monsters thirty kilometers away, and the "bait" only strengthens the temptation according to habits, not changes the way of thinking of the beasts! The beasts themselves will measure the consumption and time spent on traveling to distant places, and if they feel that they can't rush over before the other beasts finish eating, then they will not move at all.

The Ice Peak Fortress has been understaffed for many years, but it has never relaxed its efforts to clean up the vicinity of the fortress. Within 30 kilometers, only rabbits, pheasants, and rock sheep can survive freely, and other animals are not in groups. Within thirty kilometers, even counting the earth and the sky, how many naturally distributed beasts could there be?

Therefore, what Kailie is guarding against is actually someone manipulating behind his back.

Feige didn't find the feeling of being watched by Kyle, and Kylie said that the feeling gradually weakened after Feige returned, and then disappeared. Feige, who had just been tricked once, didn't believe much of Kylie's explanation, at least in the near term, he felt that whatever Calle said was some kind of test.

There are many ways to deal with wild beasts, and hard resistance is definitely the stupidest, primitive people will not fight with bears, but dig traps and build tools. They took the hyena's augmentation ritual materials, used the remaining flesh and entrails as bait, and set up a trap under the wall where the bait was located, and inside were all kinds of insidious instruments such as iron rods and bear clips. Feiqi and Tron, plus Pengpeng, the addition of the three of them directly doubled the number of defenders of Ice Peak Fortress, and it also had the possibility of digging traps and arranging traps.

"Human beings are too insidious! With such a pit, if you are not brave, not heroic, you are just bad!" "Peng Peng always cursed in a vicious tone when he was working. "I must learn to hiss!"

"What is he talking about?" asked Ramsden, curiously, as he approached with a short spear in a trap.

"He didn't like to work and thought I was bullying him. Feige always translates the goblin language correctly, "Leave him alone, he'll always have a whining, except when he drinks broth and sleeps in the sun, have you ever seen him have a good expression?"

"That's right, the most fierce time he scolds is when he takes a bath. If it weren't for Midnight's help, scaring him with his claws and screams, he would probably have been able to pierce the hot tub. Ramsden said with trepidation: "He had a lot of lice and fleas on his body, but fortunately it was cold and lacked energy, and then he was washed again." You don't see a whole layer floating on that water. For his good, he also scolded, alas......"

"That's not scolding you, but thinking you're going to cook him in soup and eat it. When I introduced you to him, he said that you are usually responsible for cooking for everyone. Goblins can't tell the difference between a rice cooker and a bathtub. ”

"I see, I don't blame him!" Ramsden laughed. In the past few days, the beast that died in the trap in front has become the bait for the beast behind, so it is necessary to clean up the corpse and make room every day. In terms of using beast bait, Monster Hunter said that he was second, and he probably didn't dare to say that he was first. There are many steps to the plan to destroy the Rebirth Cult, and the decoy may be only a small part of it. Feige sabotaged a crucial step in the plan, so the cog of the bait could only cause a little trouble, nothing more.

"The carriage has returned, and I see Lord Snowy Owl and Lord Giles!" shouted Tron, standing on the lookout tower of the wall, in a cheerful tone.
