Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Bone Spirit Swordsman

However, as if he wanted to settle the account, Zaix automatically ignored his eyes, and asked seriously, "How did you learn these spells?" ”

Mu Yan didn't know how to answer.

In fact, he had carefully read the gestures and cane movements recorded in the book, and he had mastered a lot, but after paying a huge amount of experience, the knowledge that had been drilled into his mind was telling him that these movements were wrong, so he used this part from his memory when he performed them just now, not from the book.

So how to answer? Did I spend experience buying it?

"Hmm...... Look at it once, and then it will be. After saying that, he didn't think he was lying, and that was exactly what it was.

"You put the earthen wall again." Zaix laid a barrier to prevent his beloved furniture from being heavy.

Mu Yan did so, and the other party carefully watched his movements.

Seeing him easily tear out a wall of earth from the ground, Zaix was a little moved, he took out a wand, and learned Mu Yan's gestures, but nothing happened.

This time it was Mu Yan's turn to be shocked, could it be that the spell he had learned was mutated?

But Zaix seemed to have discovered something.

"You know the nature of spells, right? The first is to sacrifice mana, ask for permission from the owner of the magic net, and only after obtaining permission can you mobilize the surrounding elements to construct spells. He said, "Spells and gestures can also be divided into these two parts, but the first half is obviously missing from the action you just did, how did you do that?" ”

Mu Yan didn't seem to understand, he tried a few more times, and successfully pulled out four earthen walls to enclose himself. Then he called for help with a little embarrassment.

Zaix smoothed the ground and looked at him angrily.

"That'...... Is it possible because these are zero-ring spells? ”

"No, it won't." The mage shook his head. "Magic is magic, whether it is the zero ring or the seventh ring, the most basic principles must be followed, unlessβ€”" He suddenly laughed and said, "How is it possible, thinking too much." ”

"Unless what?"

"Unless you're a legendary, ask Ikali's permission to call any element."

Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, he wanted to say that I am really a legend, but a legendary scholar......

Of course, this is just a complaint. Different from the legendary combat profession, the legendary title of a scholar is at most a symbol of honor, is it possible that he can still be like the legendary ancient scholars of the Celestial Empire, cultivate a heroic spirit, and then incarnate into a holy? The subject matter is not right, right? This is a Western fantasy style game novel......

However, he realized the current situation, Lokan's spellcaster is like a mobile phone user, casting a spell - that is, when making a call, you need to send a signal to the base station, and the latter will send it to the target after receiving the request, no matter how close you are to the phone subject, even if the phone is attached together, you have to go through this process, so the delay is always there.

But Mu Yan is different, he seems to be a base station himself, and he can call whoever he wants, so there is no delay.

"Forget it, don't dwell on these questions, maybe you'll be like Lancelot in the future." Zaix made a rare joke: "Don't forget to build a statue of your mentor like him for future generations to worship." ”

"Don't be, I don't want to be trapped in love like him." Mu Yan smiled: "There are too many beautiful things in this world, I haven't seen enough, and I won't just be nostalgic for what is in front of me." ”

The Lancelot Muyan in the other party's mouth also knows very well, and speaking of which, this guy has a good relationship with Leorik.

Leoric Morningstar was the founding emperor of the Morningstar Empire, and Lancelot was his half-brother, who was taken away by nuns who lived by the lake since he was a child, and returned to his father at the age of twelve, showing amazing swordsmanship talents.

Legend has it that as long as someone shows swordsmanship in front of him, he can imitate it the second time, the third time it is vivid, the fourth time it has both form and spirit, and the fifth time it surpasses the original owner. Such an amazing learning ability is somewhat similar to Mu Yan.

At the age of fifteen, Lancelot was recognized as the most talented swordsman ever in the history of Rokhan, and his fame even reached the ears of the elves. So he built a statue of his adoptive mother, the deceased Sister of the Lake, in the sacred lake of Morning Star City.

Later, he accompanied his brother Leorik to conquer the world, unified the human city-states, and made Morningstar City the capital of the Morningstar Empire. However, later the two brothers fell out against each other because of a woman, and as a result, King Leorik became Leorik and died, and Lancelot and the woman were nowhere to be found, and from that time on, the original monolithic Morningstar Empire planted the bane of division.

In the 3rd year of Dusk, Leorick reappeared in the world, and the "Fallen Palace" reappeared in the world, and players went to dig up the evidence to try to recreate this love triangle, but found nothing, as if everything about Lancelot and Queen Venia had been sealed. What's more interesting is a small easter egg at the time: when a player named "Lancelot" entered the dungeon for the first time, he was killed by Leoric's appearance as soon as he entered the door, and at the end he said sarcastically "You're not him, but it's just as annoying." This caused a sensation at the time, and everyone changed their names to those of famous NPCs in an attempt to trigger a special plot, and the sales of the official "name change card" skyrocketed instantly. Later, this became known as "Gabry's Conspiracy" (Gabrie: Villefort Boss).

-----------------

Zaix scoffed at Mu Yan's words, and he immediately asked, "Are you referring to Rhine's granddaughter in front of you?" ”

"How so." Mu Yan smiled: "Whether I am to her or she is to me, she is just a passerby in the long river of life, Shaohua is fleeting, only the truth will always exist, as a scholar, I will not forget this." ”

"Really, pious scholar?" The mage smiled and said, "I don't know what you've been through in the past to be so resistant to women, but as a person who has come over, I suggest that you don't be too confident." Women are like a seed that inadvertently takes root in your heart, sprouts, and the more perfect it is, the deeper it will be rooted, no matter how strong your heart is, they can always have a place. Maybe you have long been accustomed to her existence and are unaware, but once you lose it, the gap in your soul cannot be made up, and often the stronger the person, the deeper the injury. ”

Mu Yan chuckled and shook his head.

"Leorrick and Lancelot turned against each other because of a woman, and you became crazy because of a woman...... The crazy necromancer, if the first two are reckless men, it is understandable that they do not understand the value of the truth, and Mr. Zaix, as a wise wizard, even tried to study women......"

"No, you're wrong, it's not called research, it's called perception, and you'll understand it in the future. This is the first lesson that your Zaix teacher will teach you. Completely brought into the identity of a teacher, he didn't mind Mu Yan's words.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So Mr. Zaix, what's next? What about the staff? What about the graduation ceremony? ”

The mage was slightly stunned, then scratched his meticulous hair and said to himself, "I still have one more experiment to complete, let me think about where I went...... Oh yes, you can take this book "The Ferryman of the Styx" and "The Twelve Rules of the Wizards" first......"

With that, he vanished.

"Tsk, liar."

Mu Yan sighed and picked up two books.

In any case, the task at this stage has been successfully completed, and the next thing is up to Surya, if she completes the expected task, then the two of them have a few more chances of winning against the Bone Colossus.

He raised his right hand, which held his wand, and felt the strength in his weak hand for the first time.

"Now I can experience the main body of the game as well."

He muttered.

------------------

Surya was in the basement of Zaix.

This is where necromancers use to train bone swordsmen. So far, he has not fished souls from the River Styx, and the souls used in the experiment are all from the "Soul Harvest", the one Mu Yan saw on the first day he came to the mine.

The souls collected in this way are too weak and need to be fused, but after the fusion, they are mixed, and different consciousnesses compete for each other, so it takes a long time to fight to smooth out the commotion, meet the requirements for use, and become the soul fire of the bone spirit swordsman. The latter is one of the most difficult monsters in the dungeon three years later, and even the penultimate leader is called the "Pale Legion", which is a phalanx composed entirely of twenty bone spirit swordsmen, but at that time it is unknown where their souls came from, after all, the necromancer has become a mad lich and can fish from the River Styx at will.

The current Bone Spirit Swordsman is far less powerful than it was later, but even so, Surya has a hard time coping with it.

"What you need to practice is how to lock your position in high-speed movement, Zaix's Bone Spirit Swordsman is probably not level 60 at this time, uh...... Probably the gilded rank (50+) is higher, which is equivalent to the field master without a domain. They have a raven emblem on their left chest, that's your target......"

……

On the way back, Mu Yan's words echoed in the girl's ears, and she stared at the emblem the size of a grain of rice on her opponent's left rib.

Stimulated by the breath of the living, the Bone Spirit Swordsman let out a low roar and slammed forward, the rusty ancient sword piercing the air, and the ancient body stabbed with a skillful sword driven by violent thoughts.

Just like the sword he stabbed in the Blackthorn Forest more than five hundred years ago in the exchange of fire with his pursuers.

Although the soul has long since disappeared and may have become a part of the River Styx, the swordsman's sense of battle is so ingrained that even if it is now controlled by a frenzied mind, the sword is still like an antelope hanging on its horns.

……

"You are facing an enemy from the 'White Rook Army' who died on the battlefield at the beginning of Turing's founding, they have been dead for more than 500 years, but their bones have remained intact under the influence of magic, so they have been targeted by Zaix and stolen some of them. Presumably you also know something about the 'White Crow Swordsmanship', but don't take it lightly because it's a defensive swordsmanship, counterattack is its core ......"

……

Surya had expected this scene for a long time, she had taken such a big risk just to get the other party to crawl out of the damn turtle shell, and now the opportunity has come!

The girl withdrew the light sword and held the heavy sword horizontally in front of her, the huge sword body and the tip of the rusty sword collided together, making a soft "ding" sound, and then a huge force was transmitted from the sword, making her take a few steps back and still not stop.

She raised her other hand and pressed her flesh palm against the sword, both hands working together to block the blow.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, the tip of the bone swordsman's sword was raised, and a tooth-aching friction sound sounded, and the ancient sword deftly slid away from it, turned back at an incredible speed, and stabbed out again.

Surya, who had seen this move, did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and completed the sword cutting in an instant, and the light long sword collided with the opponent's attack, sparks flew everywhere, and rust stains flew.

For a while, the weapons of the two were intertwined into two sword flowers, one black and one white, entangled with each other.

……

"I don't know much about the 'White Crow Swordsmanship', but it still has a characteristic that I still know, that is, it pays special attention to the defense of the heart, once the long sword is swung into an impenetrable barrier, it basically declares your defeat. Belch...... It's a skeleton, but I guess this habit still exists......"

……

That's right, the defense on the left chest is impenetrable, let alone piercing the raven emblem, you can't touch it.

Surya thought indignantly, suddenly took a step back, jumped high, stepped on the railing around him, and crossed the barrier in three or two strokes, and jumped to the second-floor spectator seat.

She put away her sword, unbuttoned her leather armor, and gasped for air, sweat dripping down her cheeks.

The Bone Spirit Swordsman also wanted to catch up, but the fear of the barrier prevented him from making his way, so he could only swing his sword angrily and let out a meaningless roar, as if he was scolding the enemy for being shameless.

"Oh, I'm a shameless Empire." Surya chuckled.

Not long after the Morningstar Empire unified the human world, the Jialan Magic Association and the Turing Swordsmen successively committed treason, each occupying a corner of the empire's territory, establishing a new country, and began to slowly encroach on the surrounding Morningstar territory, so that the current three-legged situation was formed.

The long Black Thorn Forest is the border line shared by the three kingdoms and an unattended gray area. Beneath that land is buried countless valiant human warriors, from different nations, but with the same belief in victory, dyeing the thorns black with their blood.

At first, Morning Star also wanted to cross the Black Thorn Forest to regain the lost territory, but was met with stubborn resistance, and the White Crow Legion was also famous at that time, and the swordsman regiment killed all a thousand swordsmen in order to break off the large army. Their stubborn resistance not only wiped out the last bit of life for Morningstar, but also extinguished his complacency. After that, the Morningstars referred to the Turings as "despicable savages", who in turn called them "shameless Imperials".

In response to this, the self-proclaimed highly civilized Jialan people said, "It's good that you talking monkeys are happy."

"Crunch-squeak", a gazed skeleton walks down the steps with stiff steps, places a tray full of food in front of Surya, and leaves.

The girl suddenly remembered the joke Mu Yan had made with her, so she stared at its back carefully.

"Is it Wood?" She muttered that it was her former teammate, a scout who always liked to tell meat jokes and confessed to herself. Although this team was only one of several mercenary groups she had lived in, and the relationship was not very close, it was still a little sad to see her teammates again in this way.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much."

The girl shook her head, focusing on the next battle.
