Chapter 4: Kel'thugad and Spiritism

"Sooner or later, these fools will regret their foolishness today."

This is what the departing Arugao and his blue-robed mages commented.

Mages study magic, warriors hone martial arts, both belong to the pursuit of human power, in addition to talent and other factors, the most important thing on this road is to have a brave heart. We must have the faith to face any difficulties and obstacles, and have the will to break all obstacles, only in this way can we be brave and diligent, and we can go further.

If you have the first retreat, you will be affected by the difficulties you encounter in the future, and you will be affected by it to take a second, third, or even more step. In this way, what else is there to talk about being brave and diligent and going further?

Arugao and the others thought they had taken advantage, but in fact they suffered a big loss. exchanging his future for the small profits in front of him is really stupid in the eyes of those who understand, no wonder the blue-robed mage would say so.

"The flaws in the soul are the fatal flaws, or how to say that cultivation is the cultivation of the mind."

"Well said." Ainan's words drew a cheer from the blue-robed mage, who looked at Ainan squarely, "What's your name?" ”

Smiling slightly, Ainan replied, "My name is Ainan, may I ask who you are?" ”

The attitude of neither humility nor arrogance made the blue-robed mage look at him, few magic apprentices can be calm in front of him, this junior apprentice is a good seedling.

If it weren't for the fact that the blue-robed mage was in the critical period of research, and the direction of his research was very out-of-the-way, only suitable for a special small number of people to practice, and the most important thing was that with Arugao and them leaving, there was only one seedling left in Sir Lothar's team of magic apprentices, Ainan, and the blue-robed mage would be embarrassed to pry the corner.

"Your Excellency Kel'thugad, thank you for your help."

Matis was followed by a tall man with a large sword on his back and the coat of arms of the royal family of Soladin engraved on the hilt, who even in exile wore his armor very neatly, and his meticulous attitude showed that he was a very disciplined man.

This man was no stranger, but the leader of the band, Sir Lothar, a direct descendant of Soladin the Great.

This is a very attractive man, even in adversity, there is no frustration and decadence on his face, there is only a very friendly smile. When he talks to you, his kind and friendly attitude will make you unconsciously develop a liking for him, and this kind of person is born to be a leader.

Ainan sighed with emotion and saluted the other party. Sir patted him on the shoulder, "I'm glad you chose to stay, Ainam." ”

Kel'thugad asked for a magic book, and even without the help of the Godhead, Ainan could feel an uncomfortable gray aura from the book. That kind of feeling ordinary people only feel cold and piercing, which makes people's souls tremble and reluctant to approach, Ainan, who has died once, is too impressed by the power of this attribute, which is a unique taste of death.

Is the direction of Kel'thugad's research related to death?

Ainan couldn't help but wonder.

As far as he sensed just now, although the strength attribute of the blue-robed mage is strange and still in the realm of normal people's acceptance, it is obviously not a death attribute.

Could it be that you have encountered a bottleneck in your magical practice, or you have other ideas, so you choose to change your cultivation?

The proportion of mages who dabble in multiple systems is not large, but it is not impossible, but there are very few who study the attributes of death.

This Kel'thugad has a lot of personality, and I hope he won't be addicted to it, but if he makes himself an undead creature like a lich, he will go astray.

"Yes, it's this spiritistic conjecture."

Kel'thugad had already finished his experience when Ainan was distracted, he put his notes away, nodded at Lothar, and the light of the teleportation spell flashed and disappeared from everyone's view.

Madish couldn't help but be surprised in her heart: "Spiritism has long been proven to be in the wrong direction, why would His Excellency Kel'thugad ask for it?" ”

"I'm not a mage, and I don't know what Kel'thugad thinks."

Kel'thugad, who had already proven to be the wrong research direction, specifically asked for it, and Lothar was also puzzled by this.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

The conversation between Madis and Lothar was listened to word for word by Ainan on the side, who was moved: Spiritism is wrong and not entirely correct, if you want to use it to become a true god, it really can't be done, and for many people who can't become gods but want to break the limits of their lives, it is also an option to transform themselves into undead.

Could it be that the world has not yet begun to study the power of death?

If you think about it, you really don't have this information in the memory of this body you get.

"Jazz!" One of the guards hurried over and said to Lothar excitedly, "We found two big trees. ”

If I remember correctly, he should be called Marcus, a low-level warrior who has not yet broken through to the middle level, and he is a commoner, and his identity cannot be compared with Matis who has the title of baron, so in the team, Matis can lead a team of twelve people, and Marcus can only run errands to report the news.

The so-called big guy is actually an old tree that needs two people to hug more than fifty meters in length, after all, this is the junction with the wetland swamp, and from time to time there will be monsters such as jackals to prey, which is inaccessible. Because of this, the ecology on both sides of the Sadol River remains pristine, and large trees are not uncommon, but they are still scarce of such length. I was lucky to be able to find two trees at a time.

"Well done, take me to see it."

This is really good news and Lothar is very happy. With two big trees like this, what kind of raft do you have, just get it to the shore and put it up and push it towards the opposite bank is a single-plank bridge, and the two big trees are placed side by side enough to make the team pass comfortably.

I thought that I would have to delay the Sadol River for several days, but I didn't expect to get such good news in half a day, and Lothar calculated, which was enough for them to enter the wetland swamp three days early. The most important thing is that the Sador River is turbulent, and it is rare to find a crossing point, and it is difficult to cross the river on a raft without capsizing, and the risk factor is extremely high. With these two big trees, the bridge is directly built, which is convenient, trouble-free, safe and secure, and anyone who comes is happy.

"Whew...... Oh...... Woohoo......"

Since both trees weighed more than a thousand pounds, in order to get them back as quickly as possible, Sir Lothar led most of the young men in his team away, leaving only one group of soldiers to stay here. There was nothing wrong with this, but as soon as they walked on their front feet, a strange beast howl sounded on the other side of their back feet, and this time it was fatal.

When a group of humanoids resembling coyotes, with big yellow teeth and blood-red eyes, similar in height to adult human men, appeared on the opposite bank, the team stirred. Ainan's face changed, and now he was in big trouble.

The Gnolls, a race of humanoids who feed on all living things, including their own people, and are savage and lazy with their appetite as their sole driving force. They are skilled in a few crafts, but they do not know how to smelt metals, and live a nomadic life of herding and fishing and hunting without mining or farming.

Such creatures generally appear in groups, and their societies are built entirely on force. The strongest and most fearsome gnolls serve as the leader of the clan, while the weakest gnolls become food for the rest of the clan.

Just imagine, even their own people can be eaten as food, what will the gnolls do when they see humans?

"Meat ......"

"Meat ......"

The gnolls shrugged their noses and sniffed, and when they spotted the humans on the other side, they dragged their saliva to the ground and came running like mad dogs.

"Fresh meat!"
