Chapter 17: The Decision to Use the Will to Exercise Ritual
Soon, fragrant dishes came out of the kitchen, most of which I didn't recognize, and probably a common dish in Platia's Empire. In order not to reveal my identity, before eating, I stood up, took the wine that Neil poured for me, and said to everyone in the restaurant: "Starting today, I will eat and live with all my friends, for the sake of our future friendship, do it!" ”
"Okay,!"
"!"
Everyone in the cafeteria raised their wooden glasses and drank the wine. I'm not a master taster, and I don't usually drink much, but I think this wine tastes average, not as good as this morning's juice.
At the dinner table, everyone complimented each other and told interesting things. I racked my brains to recall Wei Xiaobao's exquisite approach at the dinner table in Old Man Jin's "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and finally dealt with this banquet. When everyone was almost finished, Neil took the key from Blake, the 'VIP area' administrator at the wine table, and led me to the VIP area of the station.
Walking to a small ordinary stone house of about ten square meters in front of the VIP area, Neil took out the key, clicked the door open, and beckoned me in.
It was a very simple little house, with a bed on the far right, a simple wooden wardrobe, a table with drawers, two chairs, and a pair of armor and weapons in the left corner.
Neil opened the drawer on the table, took out a form and a pen and handed it to me: "Nolon, you can write everything on it, just fill it out." ”
On Earth, I don't know the writing of the Platian Empire, only that many countries, including the human Platian Empire, use the pan-continental lingua franca to communicate. But the title of 'Erudito' will help me (see properties for details).
The form asks the occupants to fill in their name, age, gender, title, origin, and intentions, and I filled out the form as I said in my previous conversation with Neil and returned it to Neil along with the pen. Neil shoved the two items back into the table, took two more keys from the table, and led me to the dormitory in the VIP area.
Neil said to me with a mouth full of wine as he walked, "Nolon, you are the first one who will live in the VIP area, I will show you every house, and you can choose the one you like the most." ”
I smiled and thanked him, and when I got to the dormitory, I found that the houses were all side by side, very much like a barracks, and there were houses every twenty meters or so. After looking at a few houses, I settled on a small two-story building in the middle of the dormitory.
Neil saw that I had chosen a house, and happily gave me the key, and said to me, "Noron, let me tell you about our schedule first, so that you don't disturb your research."
We got up at five o'clock in the morning for ground combat training, disbanded for breakfast at half past six, and finished breakfast at half past seven to start riding training. Then it was over at twelve o'clock, and from twelve to one o'clock it was lunch time, and we rested until two o'clock, and then at two o'clock we started riding training, and it ended at six o'clock, and dinner was served from six to seven o'clock, and there was nothing else to do in the evening, but we usually gathered on the playground to play, and Noron could have come and play if you weren't busy studying. ”
Neil rubbed his hands together and made a strong gesture, "We won't train this afternoon, I'll help Noron carry your things." ”
"No," I smiled and shook my head at him to refuse, "Thank you for your kindness, Neil." But I carry everything with me, so I don't have to carry it. ”
Neil looked at me enviously when he heard this: "Large space props, my father only gave me a rare ten-cube package at my coming-of-age ceremony, and I begged him for a long time to get this, Nolon, your package is at least the elite level." ”
I still know that the wealth is not revealed, and anyway, I don't plan to take out items above the legendary level in front of outsiders: "There was also an elite-level space backpack that was issued to me along with the Erudito badge, but I gave it away." I'm using epic space props right now. ”
Neil's eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Epic space props!" Oh my God, even the best space props of our Kargas family are nothing more than epic, and Noron is so rich. ”
Hehe, I have a super gear now, but I just don't have the money.
"It's nothing, you know that when you're in the field, you're always going to need a lot of things, and having a good space prop can solve a lot of problems."
Then I used what I'd learned from years of gaming – identifying time by brightness. I looked at the brightness of the fluorescent fungus above my head and assumed it was about one o'clock in the afternoon, and I immediately took my leave to Neil, and prepared to go to Viona to tell her that I would stay at the Human Cavalry Regiment's quarters and talk to her about the hunting tournament.
I said goodbye to Neil and welcomed him to my new house. Leaving the garrison of the Stormpiercing Heavy Cavalry Regiment, he made his way to Nala and Viona's home.
However, I overlooked one thing - with the help of maps in the game, you can go wherever you want. But in reality, I'm a road idiot. Of course, I walked around this exotic town and got lost.
"Hey, you're the human kid you were with Nala yesterday, right, what are you walking around the temple door for? Is there something wrong with coming to the temple? ”
A familiar voice came from behind me to the left, and I looked back in confusion to see a strong Zerg walking towards me in an awkward position, if I remember correctly, he was supposed to be Lakala Tulasian, a Zerg High Templar Warrior who had been beaten up in a terrible manner last night.
I was too embarrassed to say that I was lost, so I immediately thought of another reason. I gave me an embarrassed expression: "Hello, powerful Zerg Temple Master. My name is Noron Burton, and I'm an anthropologist. I'm here to observe the Zerg buildings, documenting their differences from our human buildings. I wanted to take a look at the internal structure of the Zerg Temple, but I didn't know that the Zerg Temple would not allow outsiders to enter, so I had to stand at this gate and turn around a few more times. ”
"Haha," Lakala smiled haughtily, "Although our temple is not open to outsiders, since you have been blessed by His Excellency the God of War, you are our own people, of course you can enter the temple." Come on, come on, let me, the hall master, take you around our Zerg's God of War Temple. Lakala laughed and walked briskly towards me, took my hand warmly, and dragged me into the temple under the curious gaze of the four temple warriors at the temple gate.
To be honest, I've seen the Zerg Temple many times in forums on Earth, and it's no different from other temples of order-leaning gods. They are all cushioned in the middle for people to bow down and worship, and in front of them are statues of gods. On both sides are carved the deeds of the gods.
Lakala was very welcoming. As the Zerg Temple Master, it wouldn't surprise me to see at a glance that I had clicked on the blessing of the hidden Angolan god of war, Angus Twista. I quickly walked around the temple under his guidance. But in order to show my status as a scholar, I asked Lakala to translate for me the deeds of the god of war carved on the temple.
Lakala agreed with a bitter face, preaching deeds for the gods he served was what believers should do, let alone a temple master. So he had to patiently translate the Zerg script that was carved into almost the entire temple to me bit by bit, and sometimes he had to introduce me to the murals on the walls. Almost three hours passed like this, until Nala suddenly appeared in the temple.
Seeing Nala, Lakala had a relieved expression. He walked towards Nala almost at a trot with bad intentions, and walked towards me with his arms around Nalra.
"Ahem, this anthropologist, I still have some things to do as the master of the temple, so let's introduce the deeds of His Excellency the God of War to you, I'll go first."
Lakala left the temple as quickly as he fled, and it was really difficult for a martial artist to tell me the legend of the Angolan Zerg God of War for almost three hours.
Nara looked like he didn't understand what was going on, so I patted Nala on the elbow (too short) and asked him, "Nala, what are you doing at the temple?" ”
Nara came back to her senses and looked at me with her head down, "It's Brother Norlong, you're here too, I have to come to the temple every afternoon at this time to pray." ”
"That's right." I let go of Nala and told him to go and pray, "Then I'll wait for you outside the temple first." ”
I walked slowly out of the temple and waited outside the door for almost fifteen minutes before Nala withdrew from the temple. I explained to Nala that he would stay with the Human Heavy Cavalry Regiment and that he could go there to find me if he had any business, and by the way, let him go back and talk to Viona about whether he could join me in a hunting tournament in a month's time.
I didn't let him go back first, but let him take me back to the cavalry regiment garrison first. Then I took out the engram from my backpack and shot all the way so I wouldn't be able to recognize the road next time.
When I got to the station, I gave Nala the engram with a lot of energy, told him how to use it, and let him take pictures from here until he got home. And emphasized that this will be one of my research materials.
Nala earnestly took the opened crystal and walked all the way back, promising me to return it to me after dinner. Due to the noon meeting, there is now no one standing guard at the gate of the station. I opened the small door on the side and walked into the station.
I passed by the large playground in the garrison and saw Chamberlen and his servants training in combat on foot. I found a place to sit on the side and just watched Chamberlain and them train.
Burn had apparently spotted me too, and he was smiling at me with sweat and not stopping training. Watching him swing his sword steadily again and again, I knew that if I didn't want him to be as determined and hard as him in the future, even with the help of the system and the Titan gods, I would be surpassed by such hard-working and talented natives.
I decided to collect one of the game's Battlemage Will Exercise Ritual items and hone myself with this ritual.
