Chapter 25: The Eve of Parting
As the sun sets, Dick, Rose, and Paulson are having dinner in a room in the castle.
Dick sits at a three-metre-long table full of ingredients, which is the standard for his dinner. This meal was enough for Paulson to eat for 10 days, enough for women like Nia and Jasmine to eat for a month.
Dick's food expenses are still the biggest expense for the Myron family.
Rose saw that Dick was about to finish his portion, only to see that he suddenly stretched out his finger, and a small fireball appeared on his fingertip and shot at Dick quickly.
Burst! Dick spits out a mouthful of rice! Dick quickly dodged a small fireball sideways, and by this time he already knew what he was going to dodge.
Apparently Dick has already entered the third 'dodge' and the fourth 'ability to resist hits'!
At the beginning of the training, Ross kept shooting fireballs, ice balls, and electric balls at him, and at first Dick was mostly able to dodge (although the movements were really ugly), but as Rose's shooting speed continued to get faster, Paulson continued to sneak attack, and Dick would occasionally be hit.
The situation is very different now, and Dick's being hit has changed from a high-probability event to a low-probability event.
Although these small spells did not scorch Dick, the continuous burning sensation was still equivalent to the full force of an intermediate warrior, and the accumulation still made Dick very uncomfortable. You know, the old Dick was often beaten beyond recognition.
"Whoever told you to see with your eyes, if you can dodge if you can see, then the enemy will sneak up on you from behind, and you will die!" Paulson's sarcasm was unlucky.
"This body is not a fucking void warrior, and without these primitive organs of eyes and ears, can I use pulse waves to sense?" Dick was repaired so hard!
"What a mess! In addition to seeing with your eyes, you also use other senses to cooperate, such as using your ears to recognize the sound of fireballs breaking through the air, using your skin to sense changes in the flow of atmosphere, etc., which you have done very well, so to speak, in terms of fine calculations! I want to go further unless the level is growing by leaps and bounds. ”
"This is probably the fastest calculation speed I can master!"
"I know! Your combat experience and skill are unmatched, I must admit that! But what I'm going to say is intuition, not all battles have to be calculated, you have to feel the qi on the battlefield! You close your eyes first, and when you can't see, the acuity of the other senses naturally increases. ”
Dick closed his eyes as he said, he could keenly notice the sound of various insects crawling in the quiet night, and the feeling of the breeze blowing through his body was so clear, which Dick could have felt in the first place.
Suddenly, Dick felt a sharp pinprick in front of him, and he knew that Paulson's attack was coming, and then there was the sound of clothes for a ride, and Dick turned slightly to avoid the attack.
"It's really a little bit of a trick, it seems that you should have mastered the trick a little, and the effect will be better if you practice more in the future. But that's not enough, after all, there are things that you can't hear, can't see, and can't feel. Paulsen said.
"I would have done this before, but I didn't expect that a low-level body like a human being could actually do it!" Dick didn't expect this fragile body to have such room for development.
"You always say things I don't understand! Can you talk well! Paulson still doesn't know Dick's true identity.
Dick scratched his head in embarrassment: "Okay, okay!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Rose's spell, and the aphotic shield was placed on Dick, who seemed to feel something, but it was too late!
There was a bang, like the sound of glass cracking and falling to the ground, and the shield of lightlessness shattered!
Dick opened his eyes and saw that Paulson's longsword had shattered Rose's aphotic shield, and the blade was less than 1MM away from Dick's nose!
"Killing intent, your war can't just rely on calculations, you have to learn to feel the killing intent, some soldiers can successfully hide their killing intent, these can't be felt with your eyes and ears."
In Dick's previous life, as a Void Warrior, how many battles were calculated, they were all the result of skill and calculation, and he had also encountered battles that could not be won by calculation, and he knew this very well.
He didn't expect that such a backward plane could actually master the true meaning of battle, and he asked Paulson: "Do you have any skills to master this skill?" ”
"It's gone! There is only constant fighting, only life and death, and if there is any shortcut to improve quickly, I think it is better than going to the battlefield......" Paulson's words were cold, which was very different from the usual grinning face.
"This is also a man with a story!" Dick knew that Paulson was also thinking about the unbearable past.
"Battlefield? I've been away for a long time! I've almost forgotten the feeling of fighting and dying! Dick thought to himself.
During this day's practice, Dick gained a new understanding of his body. But his attention was now on Rose, for he noticed that the old mage, who had never been troubled, seemed to be restless.
"What's going on? What else can be our legendary highness! "Dick did Rose side.
Rose smiled slightly, and recounted the matter of receiving the summoning order.
"That's all?" Dick asked.
"One more thing, when will we achieve our goal in this little place! I'll go back to Guimera to prepare, I also think you can't waste time here anymore, it's too slow! I suggest you spend 1-2 years studying at the Springs Imperial Academy in the Monto Empire. After all, it is the most authoritative academic holy place in the entire plane, the center of this plane, and countless geniuses have come out, I think you will be able to grasp the rules of this plane the fastest! ”
"You can pull it down, my eldest brother, those colleges are all shows. If it's to improve his strength, Dick might as well go to school on the battlefield and grow faster! Paulson dismissed Rose's proposal.
"Shut up, you reckless man, what do you know! Springs Academy has supported the Monto Empire for thousands of years, but you can underestimate it! Rose was furious, and then said, "You go back with me this time!" ”
"Don't...... Eldest brother...... I know wrong! "Ross begged around Ross!
"Gone?" In fact, Dick didn't take Rose's words to heart at this moment.
He and Paulson have the same idea, what kind of academy or school can only give students some skills or teach some combat experience, but these are not lacking in themselves. So he quickly forgot about Rose's proposal.
"I'm feeling bad, I'm afraid something will happen." For the first time in more than ten years, Rose left Dick, who was already in the elite of Baikalmo according to Dick's current strength, and he should be reassured.
But after Rose is promoted to the legend, if he is restless and feels bad, then something will really happen, which is the talent of soul mages.
He repeatedly teased through the source of his concern, namely that Clark needed to be on guard, and this time he went back to deal with it.
At the same time, Rose thought that something might be going to happen to him, not necessarily Dick.
"I hope something happens to me, not you, and the most feared thing is that we have an accident at the same time. Just in case, you take this and it can give you an army you want! Rose took out a piece of black cloth and whispered in Dick's ear with a very cautious expression.
Dick was unimpressed, but as Rose spoke, he became solemn and nodded his head to indicate that he already knew.
"I'm cao, I really don't exist, and I actually whispered in front of me. I said, Rose, didn't you always wear this black cloth with you? Never leave you? Why are you taking it out now! I have to explain the future! Paulson couldn't spit out ivory.
Usually, if Paulson yells like this, he will definitely be frozen by Ross for a night, which is called an ice and a thrill.
Sure enough, Rose gave Paulson's lower body a near-severed freeze, and then said to Dick, "I'll have to give you the status of a magician." ”
"Aren't magicians usually registered with the local magic association? I remember to evaluate the ratings! ”
"Well, you're right. However, as a legendary magician, I have the right to evaluate the magician, and determine your level based on the evaluation results. With this identity, it can be much more convenient for you to walk in the world. ”
In Baikalmo, once a commoner had the status of a magician, he could enjoy all the rights of the nobles of the same rank, including tax exemption, exemption from military service, and even the right to a woman's first night.
