There are two planks missing on the bridge, and the car can't get through. There's nothing Fitch and Tron can do with traps like this - their enemies are monsters, not city thieves, who has ever seen bears and wolves dig traps!

Chaud said he could solve the trap. It took him some time to figure out how it worked. Tron and Feige couldn't get involved, so they dug a pit and buried a few corpses in it—just enlarge the pit where the "robber knights" buried their mandates to make a grave big enough. In a few moments, the simple tomb was completed, and Chaudor announced that the trap had been locked. He then restored the planks and brought the wagon over.

"This place is really dangerous. What would you do if there were more of them?" Chaud was oblivious to the reality of his female companion's flattering glance at Feige, and instead took a huge interest in hypothetical questions. "Would you still walk over alone and then kill all sides with fireballs?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Feige shook his head, "If there are a lot of people here, then you can see it from a distance, so you suddenly realize that something is wrong from a distance." In that case, I would have chosen to take a detour. Look at this road, the road is full of weeds, it looks like a place with a lot of people? It's not a state of war, and normally there shouldn't be a large number of guards stationed at all - so if there are too many people, they will only be robbers. ”

"Haha, you have a point. Georg Duo clapped his hands, then stared at Feige's wrist, "Your fireballs are amazing, how do they bend?"

"Do you want to learn?"

Qiao Duo restrained his smile, and his expression became very serious. He thought for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously: "I want to learn." ”

"Then I'll teach you. Feige pointed at Tron: "You're a lot better than him, he doesn't want to learn." ”

Tron snorted, shook his hand and said, "There are so many miscellaneous things that you need to know before learning your spells, don't you think about the difficulty?

"Well, now I have this problem, I haven't found a suitable teaching method, and it's quite difficult to get started. But it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that no one could understand it, and Mom still had something to gain. And Master Kiplin just didn't come to listen, so he must be fine. Feiqi scratched his cheeks: "Okay, I'll brush it up when I have time and write a primer." ”

"Wait, is it hard to learn spells?" asked Qiao Duo quickly.

"If you have experience in casting spells, the spell itself is not difficult, it is still a combination of spells, runes, and the use of mana. However, this magic matrix is not easy, and the difficulty is on it. With a twist of Feiqi's right hand, the magic matrix disc filled with runes appeared suspended at a distance in front of his palm, slowly turning.

Chaudor stared curiously at the pale red luminous body, his eyes getting bigger and brighter. With Feige's permission, he reached out and tapped the text with his finger, only to find that his finger had pierced through the past and could not trigger any effect.

"Legend has it that the world was created by the old Creator, and now, the Goddess of Truth and Thunder actually governs it—but these runes are 'my'. No matter how powerful others are and how rich their means are, in the end only 'my soul' can use it. Fitch simply tapped a magic ball of light and threw it into his left hand. "Look, that's how it works. ”

Qiao Duo frowned, thinking very intently. His female companions also restrained their hippie smiles, and no longer seized every opportunity to show their flattery, but stood respectfully and quietly.

"Feiqi, the most difficult thing about this magic matrix is to make the runes your own? Not the old creator, not even the goddess of truth and thunder, but your own?"

"I didn't say that. Feige raised his left hand, the emblem glittering in the sunlight. "I mean: no matter what method you use, what you ask, what you rob, what you cheat, what you buy, what you exchange, that's between yourself, the world, and the goddess. After completing this step, the magic matrix can be compiled. ”

"How can it be possible to bribe, deceive or rob the goddess, there are only two ways to seek peace. Qiao Duo blinked, and a smile resurfaced at the corner of his mouth: "I still want to learn, you teach me, I will ask for and change the runes myself." I won't learn from you in vain, and I will pay you tuition. ”

"Tuition? You're quite proactive. Those guys didn't even mention it. ”

"Wait, you dragged us to learn it in the first place!" Tron pinched his nose.

"I just said you didn't mention it, and I didn't ask you for it. I learned so much in the Ice Peak Fortress, didn't I say anything about the tuition fees with a shy face? Our relationship is different from his!"

"Ah, reality and facts are like two cold daggers, it's sad. Chaudor sings this line in an aria, and then says, "Speaking of which, troubadours actually have more respect for knowledge than the priests of the goddesses. We have to pay for learning songs, so when we sing, we are qualified to collect money, which is our way of survival. Whether it's opening a theater or just performing in a tavern, follow this simple principle. Respecting human knowledge and labor means respecting the truth that human beings can create value. ”

Feige applauded: "Well said, how much tuition are you going to give?"

"Let me study first, I can't estimate the value of this thing right now - but I'll definitely give a proper tuition. ”

"That's fine. Feiqi nodded, then looked at Tron: "What next? You heard it on the bridge, are we going down or up?"

Tron chose the Sonic Capable Horned Winged Monster for the enhancement ceremony, and his hearing is extremely strong. So when the burned guard pleaded, he naturally heard it clearly. "Down" means going to the bottom of the valley to find clues, find out the accomplices of the roadblockers, eradicate them, and recover the stolen goods. "Up" is to enter the Sunset Mountain Range and go straight to Gujian Fort to investigate the responsibility of the "lord" of Hood.

"Up. Tron said, "Hood is responsible for this. ”

"Well, I don't want to go down either. Feige turned to Chaud and said, "This matter is strictly a matter for monster hunters in the church, are you going to wade into this troubled water?"

"You're not right, it's actually a model leader's business, and I'm following a lord named Didlet, so it's a matter of duty, not some unrelated troubled waters. However, even if it is muddy water, I will go. ”

"And us!" Bennie clenched her fists, looking excited.

"Okay. But there is one thing to note: we are going to other people's territory, and they naturally have the geographical advantage. Gujian Fort is a fortress, not a pastoral tavern. We must act at the opportunistic level, and we can't be stupid enough to expose our purpose and send us to death. ”

"You don't have to tell the troubadour about it, anyone who does it understands it. ”

So the group continued up the mountain road. It can be seen that the road has not been repaired for a long time, and the road is littered with large and small gravel, making the carriage bumpy all the way. However, the troubadours on the bus were not affected, and their singing voices remained smooth and beautiful. It was in this environment that Chaud asked Feige about the Magic Matrix.

As Tron said, getting started with the Magic Matrix is too difficult. Feiqi's Magic Matrix has too many Earthly ways of thinking, and it is a completely new realm for this world. Talking about informatization to people under the theocracy in the Middle Ages, there are vague atheistic and materialist dialectical things hidden in it, not to mention that the magic matrix has the shadow of circuit programming and machine language, how can this be simple?

Feige wasn't a teacher, he was a programmer who knew everything but couldn't speak. If you think about it, it's a conversation between a coder and an artist in the company—and an artist with no modern knowledge—who probably ends in annoyance.

"Let me take my time. Qiao Duo wiped the sweat from his head and retreated for a moment. He sang and danced and drank and made noise all the way, never sweating a drop, and he was tired from sitting in the carriage and listening to the lecture. "You're too windy, do you have to break the spell into individual runes?"

"It has to be that way at the moment. Feige nodded. "Only when you have the foundation in place can you build a majestic castle. Gather sand into a tower, it won't always be sand in the back, but it should be like this at the beginning. ”

"Listen to you, it's not a simple spell, it's a whole system. Why are you willing to teach me this? Don't say you're short of tuition, I won't believe that. ”

"Why don't you teach it? It's like if I find a way up a mountain, and I see that it can reach the top of the mountain, wouldn't it be more interesting to call some people to climb together? It's faster and better to help each other, and everyone goes up there to see the scenery, and that's a good thing!"

"I don't understand. Don't you want to be the strongest?"

"Those who stand in the way are nothing but short-sighted bandits, and it is the wise king who leads the charge. Feige smiled, spread his hands and said, "And, who said that if I did this, I can't be the strongest?"

"Hahaha, I find out I'm in love with you!" Chaud patted his thigh hard: "You're so funny! It's funny! I think you're crazy, but I know you're definitely not crazy, it's so funny! I haven't ...... No, I've never met someone like you! Don't stare at me, I won't have a relationship with you, hahaha! I will learn this magic and this matrix of yours! I will learn no matter how difficult it is! I will kill whoever dares to stop me!"

"Why is it suddenly murderous? Restrained, we will soon be at Gujian Fort. Feige looked up, his global perspective already able to see a corner of Gujian Castle.

I've heard before that Gujian Fort is located on the side of a cliff formed by the cracking of the mountain, and the terrain is very dangerous. But it's one thing to hear about it, and only when you actually see it can you truly understand what "dangerous" means. The sloping cliff and the ground have an angle of more than 70 degrees, and the mountain section is unusually flat, although it is not as good as the mirror surface, but it is definitely like a knife and an axe chisel, and there are very few footholds that can be used to climb. The plants that emerge from the cracks in the rocks are like they have a fear of heights, and they only dare to emerge from the tips of the grass, and never dare to turn into trees and poke their heads out.

On one side of the section, a force dug a huge hole out, and from a distance it looked like a hard bite on an apple. The valley stream fort is located in this cave, and it was built with the stones of the cave.

There are only two ways to cross. One is a winding path that is also embedded in the mountain wall, and walking in it is like walking in a pipe. On the other side is a stone arch bridge that spans both sides of the valley, and there is a waterfall next to it, so the water is full of water and the stone slabs are slippery. This stone arch bridge is also an important node of the connecting road between the fortresses of the Sunset Mountains. Although the road on the mountain wall is wider and easier to walk, its pipe-shaped setting is particularly conducive to the strength of defensive equipment such as rolling stones and fire oil, and it can be regarded as a death passage.

"Whoever picked such a dangerous place really has a vision. After observing for a while, Fei Qi sighed: "Except for a strong attack from the air, all other directions are in vain." Wait, what's that?"
