Chapter 63: The Secret

"Magic symbols, attached energy?" Zhang Cheng keenly grasped two key words.

In fact, on the continent of Azeroth, mages also use a variety of magical symbols to add additional attributes to items.

Even the High Elves have invented a technique for crafting weapons in the form of pure energy, among which the famous "Silver Dawn Avenger" and "Tib's Fiery Longsword" are among the outstanding masterpieces.

They are characterized by using the impact generated by the eruption of energy to inflict fatal burns on enemies with different attributes.

Although it is not as sharp as metal, its destructive power is much higher than the former, especially against special lifeforms that have no fixed form, such as elementals, shadows, and souls, and can often cause several times more damage than ordinary weapons.

Zhang Cheng hopes to find common ground between the two worlds or establish some kind of connection through different magical symbols and energy-attaching techniques.

He always felt that there was a secret behind that mysterious parchment, a secret about why he had been thrown into this familiar and strange world, and if he wanted to uncover it, he needed to constantly study and explore......

Ralph obviously didn't know what was going on in Zhang Cheng's mind, and he took out a silver-plated dagger and injected a little energy.

Moment!

A mysterious energy that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye quickly formed a closed loop along the blade through a dozen symbols carved on the surface.

After the energy flow stabilized, he smiled and explained, "Look, this is my ability. Generally speaking, any silver-plated dagger that has been specially treated can cause great damage to dark creatures such as werewolves, vampires, ghosts, etc., and after I strengthen it, the dagger will also cause a violent explosion when it pierces the target's body, like this......"

The words just fell!

The middle-aged man swung his dagger and stabbed it hard at the table.

Next Second......

Rumble!

With the bright light of the fire, the hardwood table was blasted into a fist-sized hole on the spot, and the carbonized places around it were still burning, and the scorching heat could be clearly felt even from a few meters away.

Zhang Cheng first stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the hot scorch marks, then picked up the dagger that had lost the blessing of energy, and soon seemed to understand something, raised his head and asked, "Where did you learn these symbols on the dagger?"

"Uh—you may not believe it, but these symbols were so emotional when I was fourteen years old and I slept with my first girlfriend that they suddenly came to mind. I consulted some learned wizards, but none of them seemed to recognize the meaning of these symbols, and finally defined them as lineage. That is, I have a special bloodline that stores a part of my knowledge in my genes and passes it on to future generations, and it is said that only those powerful ancient races that have become extinct can do this. Of course, as you can see, I'm neither powerful nor special right now, and I can only rely on this little trick to be a demon hunter to eat. ”

When he said this, Ralph's tone revealed a faint self-deprecation.

After all, in the special profession of Demon Hunter, it is not easy for a physical quality like him, which is no different from ordinary people, to barely survive, and if he accidentally encounters a monster with a strong point, he may die.

Zhang Cheng silently stared at the mysterious symbols on the surface of the dagger, and then sifted and compared them with the mysterious symbols used by Azeroth in his mind, and it didn't take long to find several similarities.

First of all, in terms of energy attachment, nearly one-eighth of the symbols are very similar in shape.

Second, he tried to infuse the dagger with arcane energy, and although it didn't end up closing the loop, it did resonate somewhat. This means that the two worlds have something in common on the fundamentals of energy.

Finally, the meager energy stored in Ralph's body, like the arcane energy, has great plasticity and can simulate many forms. It's just that he himself doesn't understand, and just chooses a rough flame blast based on his subconscious.

After figuring this out, Zhang Cheng chuckled and shook his head and explained, "No, Ralph, the blood that flows in your body is far more powerful than you imagined. You know? Energy is a wonderful substance, everyone has more or less a part of it, but there are very few people who can really control it. And you, you can not only store energy in your body, but also manipulate it to form energy release. ”

"What do you mean...... Am I special?" Ralph's eyes immediately burst into a terrifying light.

"Hehe, that's right, you're special, and you even have some kind of potential. If you wish, you can come to my place and help me do a little research, and in return, I will teach you how to control the energy and make it more varied, for example...... Frost!"

With that, Zhang Cheng's right hand suddenly released a white frozen gas, completely freezing the table that was still sparkling.

In just over half a month of research and practice, although it was not enough for him to improve his mage level, his control of energy became more and more handy.

"Can I have that too?!" Ralph stared at the frozen wooden table.

Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtlessly: "Yes!

"Do you need to ask? Of course I agree! Thank you, young Mr. Wizard, for giving me a new hope. Ralph replied in an excited tone.

He could sense his once calm heart stirring again, longing for something called power.

After all, in the underworld, power means power, it means wealth, it means almost everything.

"Very good! Then we're done! Now, take me to meet your teammates, some of them may be of interest to me. ”

Getting the answer he wanted, the corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth curled slightly, flashing a hint of playfulness that was not easy to detect.

The other party will never know how dangerous his research will be, let alone how horrible the results will be.

"Hahahaha, please come with me! I'm sure they'll be rushing to show themselves in order to get your favor. Oh, by the way, do you have any instructions for this mission?" asked Ralph as he pushed the door open and led the way.

"No, nothing. I don't have much experience in tracking, so it's up to you to take care of it, I'm only responsible for solving the guy in the photo, but we have an account to settle between us. Zhang Cheng glanced down at the photo in his hand, and his eyes showed a chilling light.

Ralph subconsciously shuddered, muttering to himself: "Okay, I'm afraid I'm going to start praying for this guy now, he really made the biggest mistake in his life by choosing to be your enemy......"
