Chapter 80: What is the King? The one next door?
"King? King what? ”
This was the first sentence that Lu Xiao asked when communicating with Wang in Chinese.
According to the naming habits of the Chinese, Wang must be just a surname, and there should be a name at the back.
"Just call me king."
When they first met, the old Wang Fat Man looked meticulous and his personality seemed to be very dull, but Lu Xiao, who had watched Doctor Strange and Avengers 4, knew that this guy was actually a sullen tease.
At this time, Wang was not yet the caretaker of the Kama Taj Library, he was one of the mystics who had been stationed in the Hong Kong Temple for a long time, and only returned to Kama Taj to continue his studies and recharge when he was resting from shifts.
Born into a family of mysticists, Wang was sent to Kama Taj at a young age to learn martial arts and spells from the Ancient One.
Wang, who has been trained as a traditional mystic since he was a child, is very unfamiliar with everything in the outside world, and is limited by the secret principle of the occult master, he has never taken the initiative to come into contact with the things that modern people in the outside world take for granted.
Tucked away in the Himalayas, Kama Taj is a natural barrier across the borders of China, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Pakistan, and is spoken frequently in both Chinese and Tibetan.
Of course, English is the lingua franca of the world.
Mystics from all over the world gather in Kama Taj, and in order to facilitate communication with each other, Chinese and English are required to learn Kama Taj, and those who have the energy can dabble in more languages.
For example, Gu Yi is said to be fluent in all the world's languages, large and small, and can speak even some lost ancient languages very smoothly.
When Lu Xiao communicates with Wang, he can directly use Chinese to communicate fluently, without being full of disobedience like Daniel, and the same skin color makes the relationship between him and Wang quickly closer.
Wang learned a lot of common sense from Lu Xiao, and came into contact with modern electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers for the first time.
In line with the idea of repaying the favor, Wang also provided Lu Xiao with a lot of advice and help during his daily study.
As for the black mystic Mo Du, Lu Xiao's relationship with him has always been a little lukewarm.
Lu Xiao has gained a powerful sixth sense of the Isu in the world of Assassin's Creed, and he has always felt that Mordo has some subtle danger hidden in him, even more dangerous than Casillas, who will rebel in the future.
The actual contact also verified some of Lu Xiao's negative perceptions of him, and Mordo's words and deeds revealed some paranoid beliefs.
He was convinced that the Mystic was there to maintain the balance of nature, and that any act that upset the balance would cause him to resent.
At first glance, it may not seem like a problem, but the mystics who guard the earth do act to maintain the balance of nature, and the problem lies in the artificial definition of balance prescribed by Mordo.
Wang is an honest man and doesn't like to speak ill of people behind his back, but because he is honest, he unconsciously reveals his different views of Kama Taj Mystic.
Mordo is one of the colleagues who is not liked by Wang, precisely because of Mordo's excessive obsession with maintaining the balance of nature, and even reaching the verge of distortion.
The veteran mage, who was highly trusted by the Ancient One, often traveled the world to recruit talents with occult talents for Kama Taj.
Casillas was brought back from Spain by Mordo, and even the future Doctor Strange was picked up by him.
As long as he doesn't mention topics related to natural balance, Mo Du, who has a somewhat old-fashioned personality, is barely easy to get along with, and occasionally makes some small jokes with his fellow mystical magicians next to him, Lu Xiao maintains a relatively normal colleague relationship with him, and has no plans to further deepen his friendship.
In the process of reading and learning a large number of books given by the ancient one, Lu Xiao further determined that his learning ability was indeed abnormal, and it was abnormally fast.
Although he didn't catch up with the fastest record in the ancient mouth, it only took him a little more than a month to complete the reading and comprehension of all the books.
Gu Yi was also a little surprised by Lu Xiao's progress, but she didn't say much as she was well-informed.
After some testing, Gu Yi told Lu Xiao very calmly that he would come to her early tomorrow morning and officially start learning spells.
……
Three months flew by.
Thanks to Lu Xiao's powerful learning ability, under the surprising witness of the Kama Taj secret magicians, Lu Xiao, who already had combat experience, quickly integrated the newly learned spells with his own style.
"Drink!"
On the training ground, Mo Du rushed towards Lu Xiao with a short stick in his hand, the leather boots on his feet flashed with golden wings, and Mo Du suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xiao as if he was teleporting.
"Bell!"
Lu Xiao, who had already been prepared, blocked Mo Du's high-speed impact in advance.
The opponent's leather boots are also one of the magic weapons produced by Kama Taj, and the effect is to greatly increase the user's instantaneous burst speed, and can also allow the wearer to stample forward in mid-air for a short time.
Because the original name was too awkward, Lu Xiao referred to it as the Jumping Boots.
The short stick in Mordo's hand is called the Life Court Scepter, which can be activated by arcane techniques to produce powerful destructive power.
Evaluated by systematic standards, Kama Taj's ritual artifacts vary from excellent to sophisticated, with varying qualities.
It is said that there are more powerful magic weapons in the arsenals of Kama Taj and the three major temples, but Lu Xiao, who has just joined Kama Taj for three months, has not had a chance to meet them.
Lu Xiao did not use the Holy Sword of Eden that he brought, but held the same scepter of the Court of Life as Mo Du.
After three months of concentrated cultivation, Lu Xiao's attributes increased, especially his spiritual attributes grew the fastest.
The original minimum of 12 points of spirit reached 14 under the tempering of Kama Taj's orthodox meditation technique, and the strength, agility, and constitution each increased by one point, 16, 19, and 16 respectively.
In the past, Lu Xiao had studied the meditation methods of the Assassins with Mario.
However, this kind of meditation does not have any special effect, it is just a psychological adjustment method to collect the mind, and at most it allows people to eliminate unnecessary distractions from the mind.
And the meditation technique taught by Kama Taj is the true cultivation method of the mysterious world.
Long-term meditation can greatly reduce the practitioner's need for sleep, condense the practitioner's spirit and soul, and increase the power of the mysticist's spells.
Kama Taj's melee combat style differs from Professor Mario's Assassin combat, lacking in agility but with the help of a variety of magical weapons.
For example, now, after Mo Du's attack was blocked by Lu Xiao, his feet connected the dots in the void, and he weirdly turned around in mid-air and appeared behind Lu Xiao.
Before he had time to turn around, Lu Xiao activated the Life Court Scepter, and the short staff instantly lengthened and softened, and the whip that turned into gold in Lu Xiao's hand was jerked backwards.
"Smack!"
Mo Du, who was about to surprise the sneak attack, could only retract his actions and first prevent Lu Xiao's counterattack.
The golden chakra appeared on Lu Xiao's left wrist, and before Mo Du was hit to the ground, he slashed a slender silver thunderbolt in the right place.
Mordo in mid-air was not in good shape, but he was also experienced in combat, he did not sit still, and also activated the scepter of the court of life, and the golden whip collided head-on with the thunder that fell from the sky, making a loud explosion that resounded in all directions.
"That's it."
Gu Yi, who was watching with a folding fan, stopped with a smile: "Mo Du, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Lu Xiao, your comprehension ability is very strong, in just three months, you have initially combined the secret technique of Kama Taj with your own fighting style, and then, you can get in touch with something more profound."
"Follow me."
Lu Xiao withdrew the scepter of the Life Court, first clasped his hands into fists and saluted Mo Du, and then followed the space door opened by Gu Yi and entered a room where a large number of strange items were placed.
Mo Du silently stared at the departing figures of Lu Xiao and Gu Yi, stood in place and was silent for a moment with a somewhat complicated expression, and spit out a sentence of Chinese with emotion in a rather subtle tone.
"The afterlife is terrifying."
