Chapter 81

More than three hundred miles east of Osstar City, after crossing a long-abandoned county, he entered the Lizardman Swamp. www.biquge.info This is a swampy area that stretches for hundreds of miles between the north and south Hengduan Mountains, and the humid wind blowing from the west coast passes through here and meets the heat of the Great Plains, turning into a large amount of precipitation, turning a radius of hundreds of miles into a Ze country for a long time, and at the same time, it has also become the birthplace of two important rivers in the Great Plains.

Geographically it was an extremely important location, but in reality it was a wilderness, especially after the destruction of Earl Bart's entire family.

"Why do we have to take this road where birds don't lay eggs?" Mu Qinyi walked with a walk, seemingly walking easily, but under her feet was not a rugged ground at all, but a stream of water, whether it was thorns and bushes or mud puddles in front of her, all of them were covered or pressed down by this flowing water, and she did not have any difficulty walking on it.

"Strictly speaking, this swamp belongs to the Bart family, and although they have not developed it for various reasons, it has been reported that they have built a secret path here that leads to the Auro Plain. If this secret path is true, it is undoubtedly the easiest way to reach the Auro Great Plains. ”

Gawain, who led the way at the front, replied. Compared to Mu Qinyi, he could only take the trouble to bypass the thorn bushes and obstacles that were difficult to walk, or jump high and jump, but he himself seemed to be at ease.

"But as long as you go two or three hundred miles north, or go to the south, won't there be a road to the Great Plains? Even if you walk for another month or two, you will encounter some beasts and bandits, and it will be much better than a place like a swamp, right?"

"Is this...... In fact, finding and opening up this trade route is also what the West Coast Mage Council has always wanted to do. An additional path to the Great Plains of Oro would facilitate the flow of goods to the West Coast and the Great Plains, especially since this is the shortest and most efficient. But it's a very difficult thing to do, and no one is willing to do it alone. For some unknown reason, your envoys actually took the initiative to ask the Mage Council for your envoys to settle this matter, on the condition that your envoys become the first people to pass on this road, and at the same time let this road be permanently named why 'the great road of the Bright Great Empire'...... It's too late for the council to rejoice that just naming it can solve such a big problem......

"Needless to say, this must be the proposal of the boss of the Zhang family. Mu Qinyi also felt powerless for a while. This kind of thing of making a name for himself and adding glory to the face of the Celestial Empire must be something that Lord Li can't refuse, but it is unlikely that there is no exchange of interests behind it, but most of the people who benefit are the remnants of Taizheng led by the patriarch of the Zhang family. Now several Rite Lords led by Master Li walked together with the patriarch of the Zhang family all day long, either talking about classic appreciation of the calligraphy of the great Confucians of the previous dynasty, or visiting and receiving local nobles together. Maybe those adults felt that they were full of joy and face, but she knew that it was simply being led by the nose of the Zhang family patriarch.

"Hey, Mr. Feng, can't you think of a way with Daoist Liu about this? Why did they ask us to come out and run around after being instructed by someone to give an inexplicable order?" Mu Qinyi finally couldn't help but turn his head and look at the huge figure following them. In fact, she has been complaining here, that is, to the person behind her, but only this European holy warrior is tirelessly answering.

"It's normal for the top to move your mouth and the bottom to break your legs. A person like you, who complains and obeys orders, is simply a model of a resentful woman at home. If you really don't want to come, turn around and go back and say that you are dizzy and your old injuries have not healed, and Liu Daochang will definitely not embarrass you. You have to come with me again, and you have to complain all the way, obviously hoping that Brother Feng will comfort you a few words. But Brother Wind is now busy studying the secrets of the arcane with me, immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and doesn't have much time to pay attention to your children's affairs. ”

It's a pity that the voice that answered out loud was still not the voice she hoped for in her heart, and it was the one she was most afraid of and unwilling to hear.

Behind them was a huge creek slob, a huge creature that looked like insects and crabs, and seemed to move slowly, but it was one of the most dangerous and powerful beasts near the swamp. Now there were two people sitting cross-legged on top of this beast, one was Feng Yinqiu, and the other was the invincible sword of love of the king with a hideous face. The former cult priest was staring at him, a smile that seemed more malicious than kind.

Mu Qinyi was almost instinctively a little scared in the face of this guy who had been made a little crazy by the gods, and she could never forget the experience of being knocked down by this person with a punch and sent to the dwarf to be imprisoned. And a prefix to madness, obviously, only aggravates the danger that the creature represents. So although these words made Mu Qinyi so anxious that her face turned red, she didn't dare to throw the water element under her feet directly, and she didn't even dare to look directly at the hideous-looking man.

Fortunately, Feng Yinqiu, who was sitting opposite the Sword of Benevolence, also came to his senses, put down the book in his hand that he had just read, coughed and said, "Invincible brother, don't talk nonsense, Fairy Mu is just concerned about our current situation." Fairy Mu, in fact, this kind of thing is also common, you must know that if there is no goods and materials taken out by the old man of the Zhang family, how long can these hundreds of mouths of the envoys only rely on the things left in the boat? You can't ask you and Liu Dao to go to the sea every day to fight sea beasts and catch sea fish for them to eat, right? Not to mention that there are still tens of thousands of miles to go to Incre, without the support of the old man of the Zhang family, it is really difficult to move an inch. We will also help the Zhang family to do something by the way, so that he can get some benefits. ”

"It's not what I'm supposed to do. Mu Qinyi snorted coldly. "I didn't pay much attention to this position of Immortal Master in the Army, I originally thought of this Eurocontinent and went to relax by myself, but Mr. Feng, why do you care about the position of counselor now?"

"Anyway, there are no other good places to go now, so let's walk together and take care of each other. Feng Yinqiu just replied lightly, and his mind didn't seem to have completely come out of the book he had just put down. "Everyone has been in the same boat for months, not looking at the faces of those adults, but also thinking about those sailors and sailors. ”

"Well, this Ms. Mu. Gawain in front also turned his head to persuade. "Actually, the depths of this swamp are not all troubles, and there are things worth exploring. The lizardfolk entrenched here are a sub-species with a high level of education, and although I'm not sure, it's very likely that they believe in the Elemental Gods, and it would be of great help to you if you could find the texts and altars of the Water Elemental Gods here. ”

Mu Qinyi pouted. That's a good reason for her. The belief in the Elemental Gods has a long history, even far exceeding the records of existing texts, but because it conflicts with the concept of arcane and is not as easily understood as other gods, it has gradually declined in the history of the Empire. Now, if any, the temples that remained, were mostly as rudimentary as the one she had found in the harbor gang station. On the contrary, it is the subhuman race as gifted as the dwarves who have always passed down the belief in the elemental gods. Although most of her injuries on her soul have healed after receiving the divine treatment of the Guardian Hand, some fundamental problems cannot be solved by external forces. Seeking the official shrines and ritual texts of the water elemental faith was the best way for her to heal her wounds and stabilize her soul, and it was also the only opportunity to go further on the path of Shinto.

"Well, whatever you want, I hope it's exactly what you say. Anyway, I just have to do my best. Mu Qinyi shook her head and sighed weakly, and the water under her feet continued to flow to carry her forward. Although it seemed that she was reluctant, in fact it was the most important part of this operation, and without the help of her water elemental magic technique, it would have taken ten times more to find a way through the complex terrain and rainy swampy terrain.

Mu Qinyi and Gao Wen opened the way in front, and the trip continued, and the Sword of Benevolence and Feng Yinqiu on the Great Lizard of the Creek Land continued their previous conversation as if nothing had happened.

"How's that, Brother Wind, I'm right, this Euro Arcane isn't really a big deal. I heard that if those nobles are not talented, they may not be able to get started in more than ten years, but in front of talented people like us, it is just a broad road, and there is no need to make any effort at all. ”

The Sword of Benevolence was still as triumphant and complacent as he had been in the ninety-nine-nine-hour period, and he raised his hand as he spoke, and a ball of white light floated and sank between the palms of his hands. Although this is not very conspicuous in the bright daylight, it is indeed a fake zero-ring arcane 'light technique'.

If a noble mage saw this scene, he would definitely be so surprised that his eyes would pop out, a cult priest who had never been exposed to arcane magic before, a powerful warrior, could actually step through the foundation of the beginning that many people would take years or even more than ten years to lay in a few days, and release the zero ring arcane. This is unique in the history of the arcane.

However, the wind did not seem very surprised. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand, and the same white ball of light appeared in his hand. This time, he didn't simply use the universal true talisman to release the magic net shock under the 'rubbing', but like a real arcanist, he used his own spirit to communicate the magic net and build the arcane.

"Casting spells under this magic net is indeed more limited than casting Dao spells in Shenzhou...... But in some ways, it's also a lot more convenient. Feng Yinqiu stretched out his hand and pinched it, the ball of light was crushed in his hand, and he picked up the book that had just been placed on the lizard's back and looked through it. This is the Sword of Benevolence taken from Zhang Zisong, and it is written in Eurotic 'Arcane Introductory Foundation II', which is considered a must-read foundation for Arcane apprentices.

The most important thing for an arcane master is to use his own spirit to communicate with the magic web and construct an arcane formula to form an arcane artely. In order for an ordinary person to do this, except for the kind of genius who is gifted and has a keen perception to the extreme, he can only slowly cultivate it in order to strengthen his spirit and hone his perception. But this is not difficult for the two of them at all, Feng Yinqiu himself has been immersed in the Taoist talisman for more than twenty years, and his perception of the laws of heaven and earth is like instinct, and he can always learn from the arcane magic printed in the true talisman, it is not difficult to perceive the magic net, as long as he adds some basic knowledge of the arcane and understands some rules, it can be said to be a matter of course.

As for the Sword of Benevolence, this may be more relaxed. Open up the two veins of Ren Du and enter the innate realm through the bridge of heaven and earth, which is essentially a further approach to the universe of heaven and earth, any innate martial arts powerhouse has an instinctive perception of the laws of heaven and earth, and the spiritual will formed by thousands of tempers and battles is even stronger than ordinary mages, from this point of view, every innate martial artist is ten times stronger than ordinary mages on the basis.

However, there has never been a precedent for powerful warriors to specialize in arcane arts on the European continent, but this is because the warriors on the European continent have finally directly entered the path of Shinto, and there is no simple innate martial arts, and the spiritual will is directly mixed with some of the laws of heaven and earth.

There are also warriors who temper martial arts and temper their muscles and bones, and pay attention to indomitable and pure blood, and they are not interested in complex and nuanced spells. Not to mention that the powerful flesh and blood qi could interfere with the Dao Law to a certain extent. Therefore, some martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou also have the leisure to learn a few hand skills to play, or use them for reference and use for martial arts, but there are very few who are proficient in both. Xuan Xuanzi, the former first person in the world, said that martial arts is actually cultivation, and 'martial arts' and 'dao' are actually one family, but that is a vision that can only be seen from a very high realm. Just like a person standing on the top of a mountain looking down, it can be said that all the mountain roads lead to the foot, and almost no one can understand them if they are not in the realm. Even if Liu Xuanying used his innate true qi and Xuantian Xinggang to ten thousand laws, he was still not a small distance from that realm.

So it's not inherently surprising that the Sword of Benevolence was able to master the introductory arcane in just a few days. However, those complicated techniques for constructing arcane circuit nodes didn't bother him, which still surprised Feng Yinqiu.

Constructing an arcane circuit in the magic net is much simpler and more complicated than the Shenzhou Dao Method's pure use of one's own mind to generate the vitality of heaven and earth. It is said that he is simple, because there is no need for any charm and mental method in the spirit of the gods, and everything that depends on his own comprehension, as long as the magic net is touched and outlined according to the prescribed structure, it will naturally be able to stimulate the arcane effect. He is said to be complicated because these structures are several times more complicated than the moire patterns of the talismans, and there is no trace of error. If it is said that the Shenzhou Taoism is a picture scroll, as long as the artistic conception is there, it doesn't matter if there are some differences in form, but it is a little sad to paint too much. And this arcane is like stacking and assembling various structures into a mechanism, which can only be done in a fixed format, but it does not need to rely too much on understanding, just familiarity.

Accustomed to the accompanying artistic conception of the Shenzhou Dao, Feng Yinqiu is actually not used to the cumbersome and rigid nature of this arcane, but what he didn't expect was that the Sword of Benevolence, which had just come into contact with the arcane, was better than him in this regard.

"Compared with the Shenzhou Dao Method, the craftsmanship of this Euro Arcane is inevitably heavier, focusing on the way of 'instrument' and 'use'. Feng Yinqiu shook her head. "And the Tao is the law, the Tao is the law, and there is the Tao and the law. My Shenzhou Dao Law says that a thousand ways and ten thousand are borrowed from heaven and earth, and the final path is the unity of heaven and man to seek the avenue of heaven and earth, this European arcane is directly to use the magic net to forcibly divide and sort out the power of heaven and earth, and when using it, it directly borrows power from the magic net, which is to forcibly seize heaven and earth and divide heaven and earth from the source, no wonder the true spirit of heaven and earth is incompatible with it...... However, in terms of practical utility, after forcibly dividing the power of heaven and earth in advance with the magic net, and then combining them at will, the turmoil stimulated is much stronger, and the tricks that can be combined are much more......

Saying that, Feng Yinqiu gently patted the sloth of the slazy land in this stream. Like the boar he had previously subdued in front of Ashendale, he had smashed this big thing down with several two-ring arcane arts, turning the dangerous beast into a camel beast for transportation. If it is in terms of the Shenzhou Dao Law, if it is not specifically to take this path, it is extremely difficult to achieve this.

"It is worthy of the well-informed and far-sighted Feng brothers, these words are really high-level insights, and they pierce the true face of this Euro arcane with one shot. Hahahaha...... "The Sword of Benevolence immediately burst out laughing when he heard this, still habitually complacent. "But let's do as the locals do, and let's use these shallow arcane arts first. Two days to get started, a week later, you can use the three or four rings of arcane to wash the floor, and after a month or two, the seven or eight rings of arcane arts will be thrown casually, so that those self-righteous arcanists will be frightened to the ground, and then ask them to slowly understand the breadth and profundity of our Shenzhou Dao system, let them know their insignificance and ignorance!"

"Brother Invincible, don't say that, it's just my speculation, and these things are simple to say......" Feng Yinqiu waved his hand. These things are just words, and he doesn't dare to underestimate the meaning of arcane arts in the slightest, which is like saying that people are just living creatures with a pile of flesh and bones, and it can't be wrong, but it certainly won't be so simple. And recalling the eleven-ring arcane arts he had seen that day, the aura and profundity that seemed to be connected to the origin of the universe were not inferior to any kind of Dao supernatural power in Shenzhou.

"Don't be presumptuous, don't be presumptuous. Brother Wind, I have a hunch that our pair of arcane wizards will definitely set off a new wave of arcane magic in this continent!hahahaha!"

The Sword of Benevolence didn't care in the slightest, and looked up and laughed, and a loud laugh rolled through the air into the swamp.

"Seems to have howled from some beast?"

The forest patrol soldier who was walking at the forefront suddenly stopped, looked up, and a pair of big ears that were different from ordinary people were shaking from side to side.

"What?" The blonde mage quickly stopped, stretched out her fingers, and a reconnaissance arcane appeared in front of her, and then shook with her movements as she looked left and right, but nothing of note appeared on it. "There weren't any powerful creatures around. There are also no particular energy fluctuations. ”

"No, it should be about twenty miles upwind. Your recon arcane is invisible. The Forest Patrol Soldier glanced back at the female mage and the Scouting Spell that appeared in front of her, his eyes a little disdainful. For the arcane, he, a half-breed orc, instinctively felt disgust, and coupled with his status as a believer in the god of the wind element, this disgust was even more intellectual. "The environment in the swamp is complicated, and those who dare to howl must be very powerful, and the predator standing at the top is most likely a mutated demonic beast. We'd better stay away from their territory. ”

"Well, yes, it's too close to the edge of the swamp to be here, so let's go back a bit. The mage looked at the map, turned and snapped her fingers, and a swamp golem creaked and turned her head behind her. The dozens of mercenaries behind let out a sparse grumble, and they could only turn around and walk back. (To be continued.) )
