Chapter 1137: Substitute Class (15)
Taking these six people out, we went back to the room where we stored our things, and asked them to take a complete set of kitchen utensils and some ingredients, and Gillette gave the key directly to the kobold and said, "You go back and be cooked by yourself." β
The six people looked at each other, and Shadowless Gillette had already turned his head to leave, and only explained: "I'll be back before dark." β
I followed, and the six of them got into action.
Then, without difficulty, I found the escaped werewolf in a sewer near the central well, just two blocks away.
"Come with me," said Shadowless Gillette, "is your only chance to live." β
When the werewolf saw us, his face was as dead as ashes, and he had no idea of running away, so he followed us back to the street.
Next, we walked towards the north gate.
"I, I can't get out, I'll die if I go out!" The werewolf panicked, "That man is going to kill us." β
"If you don't leave, you will die quietly in the city, if you go, I can help you kill that person and spare your life, you choose." Shadowless Gillette said coldly.
The werewolf thought for a moment and said, "You, are you sure to defeat that mysterious guy?" β
Shadowless Gillette said with confidence: "I will not lose. β
"What about me?" The werewolf asked.
"Depending on your luck, you will die or gamble." Shadowless Gillette sneered.
The werewolf gritted his teeth: "Then, I will go out with you obediently, if I don't die, will you let me go?" β
"It's okay to be obedient in the future," said Shadowless Gillette, "this time to escape will give you a chance to make amends, and next time, your life will be gone." β
"Bet!" The werewolf made up his mind.
There were no acquaintances among the orderlies guarding the door, but looking at our combination of "two people and one wolf", I also took a few more looks.
Coming to the back of the boulder, the werewolf was already trembling with fear.
"It's ...... here again," Leo complained.
"Can you track the curse?" I asked.
"Low-level wizards are easy to deal with, unless they are higher than mine." Leo was not without pride.
"What about in the city?" I say.
"You, just fool me like that......" Leo said.
"Let's try to solve it here." I say.
"Keep an eye on yourself," said Leo, "I see you're in charge of the city, and you have to push yourself up to the edge of the safe zone, don't you know ......?"
"I know," I said, "but if the protagonist doesn't die, how will the plot develop?" Waiting in town for that guy to come to the door? β
Leo and I were trying to balance monitoring the city and finding out who was behind the poisoning, and the werewolf shivered with fear, but Gillette the Shadowless was the calmest - he expected me to settle the problem easily.
As for me, I just feel that I am tied up to fight, and in the case of not knowing the strength of the opponent, there is indeed some suspicion of death - according to the general plot, the strength of the protagonist has reached this level, and it is right to go up and roll the villain directly, but to restrain my hands and feet to show "generosity" is purely self-inflicted, and the probability of an accident is quite large.
But......
The guy didn't show up until the evening.
"You lied to me?" Shadowless Gillette asked.
"Nope!" The werewolf hurriedly said, "We have the magic mark he left on us, and he knows it when we go out of the city!" β
"Magic markers?" Shadowless Gillette said, "You say he's a magician? β
"It's not!" The werewolf shook his head, "I don't know what kind of profession he is, anyway, it's almost the same thing, if it's a wizard's curse, a priest's mark, I don't know, it's probably that kind of thing......"
"Then doesn't he come out during the day?" Shadowless Gillette asked again.
"No," the werewolf denied again, "we used to come out during the day, because it was too dangerous at night. β
Looking at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, Shadowless Gillette hesitated and looked at me.
I took a few steps in the direction of the return to the city, and he said, "Go, go back!" β
"Huh?" The werewolf was stunned, "Don't wait? That ...... on me"
"Don't go out of the city in the future, it's no problem!" Shadowless Gillette said.
Then, we went back to the city.
In fact, Leo told me that the telekinesis of the werewolf or mark was gone.
"I guess it's an orc, who did divination, and knew that you couldn't afford to provoke it, so I didn't dare to come, and I revoked the curse." Leo said.
"It's time for me to look into wizards, too." I say.
"Wizards and shamans are both relatively primitive supernatural worship, belonging to animistic worship, while priests and clergy belong to a systematic religious profession, the difference between the two is the object of worship, of course, this is the distinction on earth, here, it is not much different, but with the existence of the ether, things are relatively complicated," Leo said, "Specifically, go back and analyze it slowly." β
When we walked into the city gate, the orderly who guarded the gate did not say anything, but looking at our gaze, to be precise, at the eyes of the shadowless Gillette and the werewolf, there was something meaningfulβbut everyone who went out must have an unusual purpose, and in their opinion, this "two people and one wolf" went out, and there was always some invisible man's transaction or search for some treasure that was temporarily hidden, in short, it was impossible to go out for a walk.
Of course, Gillette Shadowless found nothing, the werewolf got his life back, and I, I missed an opportunity to find out who had plotted against Santas, and I probably won't have time to ask for anything like this in person.
Back in the courtyard, the newcomer finally came back and was cooking dinner with a few handymen.
"What about them?" Shadowless Gillette asked, after briefly introducing the seven servants.
The werewolf among the newcomers said, "The other bosses will come back the day after tomorrow if it goes well." β
The humans Bill and Lance, as well as the goblin Sallot, were hard at work, but they didn't say much, except for a few small scars on their bodies.
It seems that the newcomers have also received new exercises.
The six servants and the newcomers blended well together, but the skinny werewolf was a little embarrassed, and these contradictions should be left to them to deal with.
Shadowless Gillette began to train them, and I continued to go up to the second-floor hallway to watch the breeze and study the wizarding profession with Leo.
"The ability of priests and clergy comes from their own comprehension and the gift of God, and is basically biased towards the elemental ether energy, sometimes mixed with the power of faith, although the magician is said to be the gift of the goddess of magic to the elven race, but it should also be seen that it is the interaction between pure telekinesis and aether, and shamans are different, this is the interaction between the aether and telekinesis in the earliest days, not mixed with the power of faith, or in other words, the sacrifices of early sorcerers and shamans may be the reason for the birth of natural gods, that is, Wizards worship elemental energy as gods. Leo hadn't started the tirade mode for a long time, and he was a little excited, "These are just superficial differences, and there is a more hidden factor behind it, that is, the law of time and space!" Based on the influence of ether and telekinesis on the laws of time and space, these professions actually have a new understanding...... Curses and divination are typical examples, magicians are rarely proficient in curses and prophecies, human priests can only perform prophecies with the help of gods, and curses are relatively rare because they are the responsibility of the gods, such as what kind of calamities and sufferings the gods suffer after all...... Only sorcerers and shamans can use them as they please, of course, there is still a certain price to pay, after all, the shamans of ancient times risked their lives to communicate with the animists......"
"If you want to write a book, you need a clue, right?" I say.
"The clue of time," said Leo, "is the oldest being the shaman, then the priests and the various clergy, and finally the magician, and according to our theory, the magician and the alchemist are about the same, and then the pure seeker of knowledge, which is a bit narrow, but sooner or later it is necessary to divide the disciplines." β
"You think wizards and shamans have easier access to the laws of time and space?" I said, "Why?" β
"According to speculation, the laws of the world in ancient times were unstable, so there were many strong people at that time, and there were many people who could awaken, and there were many people who came into contact with the laws, just like a fish pond that had just been discovered, and the people who just came to catch it were a big fish in a pocket, and the more they went to the back, the fewer the fish, and the smaller they were, and the same reason," Leo said, "At that time, there were no other professions, and the wizard shaman used the laws of time and space vigorously, and it is estimated that he could not look down on ordinary elemental energy, after all, it is still troublesome for the magician to send a fireball ice pick, The wizard shaman directly curses you and hangs up, how easy it is! β
"It makes sense," I said, "according to the general routine, the older it is, the more powerful it is, because the ancient energy density is extremely high, and the laws have not yet been finalized, so it is easy to be comprehended and mastered, and it is a rare treasure to take out a random thing and put it in the future life......
"Science, on the other hand, focuses on the accumulation of knowledge and experience, believing that civilization is progressing, not declining." Leo said.
"In other words, Ragnarok and the aether will go to extinction?" I say.
"Most say that, and it seems to have a basis." Leo said, "Don't forget that the Big Bang theory of earth science is also a similar law, after the singularity explosion, the law chaotic energy boils, the universe expands, and after reaching a limit, it begins to slowly cool, and finally the heat death of the heat to zero, that is, the final death of the universe." β
"It's pessimistic......," I said, "isn't it all irretrievable?" β
