Volume 1 Harlem Chapter 2 The Past Glory
There seems to be an early sun shining in the darkness. In the hazy and hazy Are, he only felt soaked in the warm spring water, and his body and mind were pleasant, so uncomfortable.
Among the lush trees, cheerful birds jumped back and forth between the branches, and blue balls of light condensed by magic floated in the air. Even the flowers and plants are happy, the blue leaves on the green vines set off the white flowers, and the clusters of fiery red flowers on the tender green grass move with the wind.
There are many tree houses hanging on the trees, which are simple and beautiful. The air is also mixed with the fragrance of grass and the sweetness of flowers, and it is fascinating to take a deep breath.
Ari sat up vaguely, only to see himself in a clearing in the middle of the forest; There was a fire on the side, and a man and a woman were sitting opposite him and chatting. The man was a little shorter, and wore a black cloth skirt, as if he hadn't washed it in months; With waist-length white hair, it looks weird. The woman was feminine in appearance, dressed in gold and white, and I don't know what kind of Order costume showed her beauty.
The man drank soup by the fire. When the woman saw that Ari was awake, she was stunned, pursed her lips, turned back to the tree house behind her, and shouted, "Captain, captain, this kid is awake!" ”
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on the woman's face, and it seemed to shine. Ari's heart jumped, and he blushed a little, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the roaring fire. The man on the side saw Ari's embarrassed appearance, bared his teeth and smiled.
Two footsteps from far and near. A pair of powerful hands patted Ari's shoulder and said with a coquettish smile: "Captain, you see this kid is still blushing." ”
Ari looked up in embarrassment, and saw that it was a woman in a purple dress who patted him on the shoulder, dressed a little strangely; Across from him was the man in the golden armor.
The golden-armored man thought that Ah Rui was scared, so he comforted: "Little brother, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. This is Central Park, it's Katie-sama's place, don't be afraid. After a pause, he continued: "My name is Ivan Derose. With that, he stretched out his hand and shook it with Ari.
Ivan pointed to the man in the cloth skirt and the woman in the purple dress and introduced, "This is my teammates, Mok and Yunye. After speaking, he looked at the woman who was a little shy and dressed in the costume of the Order and said, "This is the nurse of our team, Tillan." ”
"Nurse?" Ari was stunned for a moment, not knowing what it was.
Ivan waved his hand, and without explanation, asked Ari, "What's your name?" Can you tell me what's going on 'over there'? As he spoke, he pointed in Harlem's direction, "And that comet, do you know what it is?" ”
Ah Rui thought anxiously, opened his mouth to pick up some key points, and just omitted his identity and the plot of killing his father.
Ivan touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "In other words, the Yu Xiu faction slaughtered the poor in the outlaw killing town?" ”
"Yes!" Ari said hurriedly.
"What are they going to do there? Is it just to kill the poor? Yun Ye thought for a moment and said.
"No, it's not. They were going to take the people of the town and make slaves. ”
A few people let out an 'oh' and pondered in silence. After a while, Ivan stood up and said, "I'll talk about it later!" ”
Seeing that Ivan was leaving, Ari stood up nervously, plucked up his courage and said, "You, can you teach me?" I want to be as strong as you! ”
Ivan was stunned for a long time, not wanting anyone to be his apprentice. He raised his eyes and swept the expressions of several people on the side of the fire, and said, "I'll talk about it later, and I'll talk about it when Huya comes." ”
Time passed through the gaps in the leaves. The wind brings a variety of floral fragrances, refreshing people's hearts. Blue balls of magic light were generated and annihilated by the stream, annihilated and reborn, and repeatedly, as if they would never feel tired.
The sound of footsteps on the grass made a crisp sound. Two people came from outside the clearing, a woman and a man, wearing cloaks and looking like two small children. The boy had short white hair and wore a gray cloak; The girl has short pink hair and is holding a puppet, which looks very cute.
The boy greeted the crowd. Ivan said to the boy, "Huya, come and see this little brother." He thought about it again and carried a brown-haired brat out of the treehouse.
This brown-haired kid was the one who was hunted down with Ari before, and at this time he had a snort in his nose, he should have passed out and not woken up yet.
Ari didn't know what they were going to do, and was a little scared, but he didn't dare to move, so he just sat on the ground and let the boy named Huya look at it.
Huya looked at it for a long time, shook his head, sat lazily on the ground with his hands and said, "Well, I haven't seen these two children, and there is neither the coat of arms of the Cultivators, nor the traces of the Eye of Darkness. It shouldn't be a cultivator, right? He scratched his head and thought, "Maybe it's just a normal kid growing up in Harlem, right?" ”
Ah Rui was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that it was dangerous. He's a good qualification, and his father was going to beg Lord Yem to help him grow the Dark Eye next year. With his ability, he should be able to mix in a good position in the Cultivator Sect. I didn't want this to happen, and thankfully I didn't plant the 'Dark Eye'.
A turquoise magical light converged in the forest, and a woman appeared out of thin air. She holds a wand in her hand, and her pale green dress sets off her soft white hair. The woman's feet shone brightly, her beautiful face was soft and warm, and even the flowers around her were convinced by this momentum. She came to the crowd and whispered, "Well, it seems that Huya is right. Thank you, Hughya, it must be painful for you to remember that past. ”
When Ivan and the others saw the woman, they hurriedly saluted: "Lord Katie." ”
Huya listened to Katie's words and said with a smile, "It's okay, but the falling meteor always feels quite unlucky." I always had a bad premonition. ”
Katie pulled her hair and frowned, "yes, since Niwu has gone, I think I'll bring some news back soon." ”
The pink-haired girl on the side did not hide the worry on her face, and she said urgently, "Sister Katie......"
Katie knew what she was going to say, and said with a smile, "Py, it's okay, don't worry......"
Katie came softly and went softly again. Pai frowned, pouted, and muttered, "Sister Niwu......" She looked so depressed that she had to pick up her rag doll and go back to the treehouse.
Tranquility returned to the forest, and the brown-haired boy was taken away for treatment, while everyone except Ari and Ivan's team left. Ivan let out a long sigh of relief, lying on the grass and not knowing what he was thinking.
Ari hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to say to Ivan: "That, that, you, can you take me as an apprentice?" I, I know it's abrupt, but, I'm trying...... The town, the people in the town said I was very talented. ”
Ivan glanced at Ari, chewed on the grass roots and said, "Why do you want me to take you as an apprentice?" His attitude was a little different from Fang Cai's, and he seemed careless. Mock and Tilland watched from the sidelines, covering their mouths and snickering.
Ari had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it.
Yun Ye looked at Ari's eyes eager for strength, and couldn't help but think of his childhood, and secretly moved his heart of compassion. She patted the hem of her skirt, sat on the grass and sneered: "I think someone is still too weak to accept apprentices, for fear of teaching bad people, right?" ”
"Who said I was weak, who said I was weak......" Ivan sat up suddenly, muttering, "Can you defeat Luke without me?" ”
"Cut ......," Yun Ye sneered, "If it weren't for the light of Master Xilan's apprentice, I'm afraid our five squads wouldn't be enough for Luke to drink a pot." ”
Ivan thought of that Xilan's apprentice, clenched his fists, and said, "Xilan's apprentice, hmph, sooner or later one day I will defeat him." He thought about it, his thoughts slowly drifted away, the old homeland, the smiling face that had passed......
A lot of things that you don't care about are precious when you lose them. Ivan's brows twisted into a rope, and the anger in his heart appeared on his face one after another. He gritted his teeth and said, "That man, that silver-haired man." I'm going to find him, kill him, I'm going to kill him. My country, my family, my people...... Lovers ......"
The more Ivan spoke, the angrier he became, and suddenly he stood up and punched and kicked the trunk, as if to vent the anger in his heart. The three of Yunye listened to Ivan's words, and they also fell silent. Tillan gently held Ivan's hand and said softly, "It's all over, it's all over......"
Mock sighed, "Arad, you were torn apart by that man......"
Yun Ye settled down and said: "It's useless to think about it, only by becoming stronger and finding this person can you have a chance to take revenge." ”
"yes, yes......" Ivan was a little sad.
Yun Ye straightened his thoughts, put on a smile again, and sneered at Ivan: "Hey, how long do you have to feel sorry for yourself." If you don't accept this kid, if you don't accept it, I'll take it. ”
Ivan didn't know why this cloud leaf was always against him, and said angrily: "Accept it, why don't you accept it." ”
Yun Ye snorted lightly, raised his legs and left. Ivan was in a bad mood and said loudly to Ari: "Boy, I will be your master from now on." He saw Ah Rui stunned and stayed in place, and couldn't help but be a little angry: "I'm your master, don't you express it?" ”
Mock and Tillan couldn't hold back their laughter any longer, clutching their bellies and laughing.
Ah Rui suddenly came to his senses, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Master, please accept the disciple's worship......"
Ivan hid his face and sighed, but now that the words have been spoken, it is necessary to teach them well. I heard him ask, "Do you know what magic is?" ”
Ari wanted to say that he knew, but after thinking about it, he said, "I don't know, Master." ”
Ivan leaned against the trunk of the tree and spoke slowly......
"Magic is an energy in nature, or in the universe. Only those who have qualifications can absorb magic, and those who use magic power are usually swordsmen or magicians. Of course, some people with strange weapons may also use magic, so we also boil it down to a type of swordsman. ”
"As for magic, it can be divided into five attributes."
Ah Rui didn't know that magic power had attributes, so he hurriedly asked, "Master, what are the attributes?" ”
"There are ice, fire, light, darkness, and nothing, these five magic elements, corresponding to ice, fire, light, dark, and nothing, five magic attributes."
"No attributes?"
Ivan said patiently: "It's an elemental attribute that has nothing." Anyone who can absorb ice will have an ice attribute in their attacks. All other elements are similar, and the attack will have that corresponding attribute. The Ice attribute freezes enemies. ”
After Ivan finished speaking, he shouted to Mok, "Show him." ”
Mork shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his right hand, only to see an ice flower condense in his palm in an instant. The ice flower was crystal clear, emitting bursts of cold air, reflecting brilliant brilliance in the sun.
"As for the fire attribute." Ivan snapped his fingers casually, and saw a cluster of flames burning quietly at his fingertips.
Ari looked strange and couldn't help but shout excitedly. Ivan smiled proudly, and then said, "The light and dark attributes are somewhat special. The light attribute can heal, can generate thunder and lightning, and can also paralyze enemies. As he spoke, he pointed to Tilland beside him, "Priests like them can only be made by people with light attributes." Well, by the way, your wound was healed by her. ”
Hearing this, Ari hurriedly said to Tillan, "Thank you." ”
Tillan smiled shyly.
"Dark attributes, we don't have them in the team, so I can't show them to you. Well...... To put it simply, the dark attribute can curse enemies and can also produce black lightning. Ivan paused and thought for a moment, "It should be so." ”
"So, what about the attributeless?"
"As the name suggests, no attribute is nothing, which is pure magic." Ivan said and waved his hand, "Now teach you how to perceive and absorb magic." If, I mean, if you can't absorb magic, then I'll only have to teach you some basic swordsmanship...... ”
Meditation is the only way to perceive and absorb magic. Concentrate, standing, sitting, or lying down...... As long as you can perceive the elements around you, you can absorb the elements corresponding to your constitution under normal circumstances. This is elemental affinity in the narrow sense, other elements don't like you and won't be absorbed by you.
Of course, there are always all kinds of geniuses in this world. The true elemental affinity is the ability to absorb all the elements.
Ivan told Ari the method of meditation, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to absorb the elements, so he comforted: "Don't worry, this kind of thing has to be done slowly." It also took you a day to absorb the elements, Master. With that, he patted his ass and went to sleep.
Mock had no heart or lungs, and was already asleep lying on the grass. Seeing that Ari was still a little confused, Tillan explained, "When you perceive the elements, the ice element is a blue ball of light, the fire element is an orange ball of light, the light element is a white ball of light, and the dark element is a purple-black ball of light. As for the non-attributed element, it's a transparent ball. ”
Ari was always embarrassed to talk to this beautiful woman. He thanked him softly, got up and sat down by the stream, meditating.
As night fell, swarms of fireflies popped up in the forests of Central Park. The insects are a little different, they either glow with a cold glow or they glow with a scorching glow...... Flying around, it's beautiful.
The four members of Ivan's squad sat around the fire, drinking soup and eating meat of unknown nature. Suddenly, I heard the sound of water by the stream, and I saw Ari running to the fire wet, and said breathlessly, "I...... I ......"
Ivan also said that he couldn't perceive the elements, thinking that he was anxious, so he comforted: "It's okay, it's okay." The power system of magic power can't work, and you can also learn 'Nian Qi'. I can't do it, I'll get you some automatic rifles, laser cannons, and mechanical bombers......" he said as he drank the soup and nibbled on the meat.
"No, Master, no." Ari hurriedly explained, "I sensed the element, and I absorbed it, and I absorbed the dark element!" ”
The four of Ivan were just startled and said, "So fast! Yes! And he continued to eat and drink.
Ivan beckoned Ari to sit down and eat meat and drink soup, wiped his mouth, and said, "Teach you swordsmanship tomorrow......"
The chirping of birds in the morning breeze may be a little different. Ivan stood opposite Ari and said loudly: "What I said below, you can remember ......"
"Magicians use magic and will build magic arrays outside their bodies to use magic. We, the swordsmen, use the absorbed magic to strengthen the body and use the magic from the body. Some people call our method of using magic Douqi, but in the final analysis, Douqi is just a change in the nature of magic. ”
"And using magic from the body, you can attach to the surface of the body to strengthen defense, and you can also rely on weapons to strengthen attacks. We don't use magic to build a magic array, but we use different sword skills or skills according to the different routes of magic in the body. ”
"Then how can we judge the strength of the enemy?" Ari asked.
"Normally, people with more magic power and purer are naturally stronger. But this is not absolute, some people without magic can still kill people! ”
"Then how do you know how much magic power you have?"
"Some mages or troubadours can know the amount of magic they have through 'magic perception' or 'prophecy'. But we, no, it should be you, don't you know if you fight someone? ”
"Give." Ivan said, throwing a tawny object at Ari. Ah Rui took it and put it in front of him, but it was a broken sword with no blade, only a hilt.
Ari looked at Ivan suspiciously, only to hear Ivan explain: "This is a lightsaber, a type of sword. If you don't know how to build a magic link with a lightsaber, you won't be able to use a lightsaber. With that, he taught Ari how to build a magical link with the lightsaber.
Seeing that Ari was familiar, Ivan took out his saber and said, "Look at it! ”
Ivan's lightsaber was a little hideous, and the hilt seemed to be studded with a blood-red gem, like a vicious eye; The blade erupted, with an orange-yellow glow, dazzling and dazzling.
"This sword of mine is called 'Shengyao Redemption'." Ivan said, smiling proudly, "That lightsaber of yours is my saber from a long time ago, the Terrastone lightsaber. You try to excite the light blade. ”
After trying for a long time, Ari finally found the trick to building a magical link, and inspired the blade of the 'Terrastone Lightsaber'. I saw that the blade of the sword was snow-white, exuding a charming halo, which was very good-looking.
"Well, yes, and a bit of talent." Ivan rarely praised it, "From now on, teach you 'pick', 'stab', 'slash', and practice to the extreme, and I will officially teach you swordsmanship." ”
Time not only flows through the leaves, but also drips from the sweat of the youth. For days, Ari was immersed in practice.
