Chapter 19: The Undercurrent
When Chen Xuyuan couldn't help but ask, they were also hesitant, and only told him: "These ways to achieve these methods are their core business secrets, and it is not convenient to disclose them to outsiders. β
He was a little speechless for a moment, and completely lost hope in this pyramid marketing organization under the banner of mutual aid and academic exchanges.
But he, a shaman, has been dealing with totem runes all year round, and he is naturally an expert in most runes.
If you really want to simulate some spell effects with runes by yourself, it's no problem to make a [magic cannon], but this thing doesn't have much effect on wizards above the fifth order, and you can just practice spells directly with kung fu.
Although I was a little disappointed, I still learned some bits and pieces, and by the way, I got to know a few low-level spellcasters and martial artists, and learned about their living conditions, which was a worthwhile trip.
After the meeting ended in the afternoon, Chen Xuyuan invited Skonen to eat a sauce steak before parting.
Before saying goodbye.
Skorning seriously invited, "If you have time, you can also go to our Desert Wind Martial Arts Dojo not far away, there are many martial artists like me who train there." A lot of people have made a few trips back and forth between Palmers and the continent. There are some information, they are better informed than those high-ranking wizards who are high up. β
Before nightfall.
Chen Xuyuan returned to Catalina's widow's mansion, and saw that Siggri was still in the backyard, dancing vigorously with two chicken feet, but this time he practiced not piles, footwork, or complete sets of routines, but more like pure martial arts to vent.
Looking at her thin angry expression with heavy breathing and brows, and the fierce attack of the wind, it was bitter for a few of the next onesβthe old trees that had just pulled out new sprouts in the beginning of spring were constantly shivering in the strong wind of her dancing.
Chen Xuyuan was about to go up and preach to the other party, but Xigrid ran to himself and said: "I met an old man today, but she also advised me not to go back to avenge the country." Teacher, do you think I really should, and I should have never been a slave?"
This is not easy to answer, he thought about it carefully and said: "I asked you not to go back to take revenge, because there is little hope, it is equivalent to killing yourself." As for the theory of restoring the country, this long time for mankind will last for thousands of years! In history, this extermination of the race and the destruction of the country will not be resurrected. In the end, how many times has the bitter lord been able to successfully restore the country here?"
"No! There must still be many people who are grateful for the kindness of the old king, and are ready to rise up at any time to resist the tyranny of foreign enemies!" she breathed rapidly, and her tone trembled slightly, and she seemed very excited in her heart.
Master Chen could only ask rhetorically: "As long as the current ruler is not stupid enough to breed a large number of corrupt officials and cool officials again, and use severe punishments and heavy taxes to force the people at the bottom to make a living, so that most people are dissatisfied." So do you say that the people at the bottom hope that you will go back and set off another war for the restoration of the country, eroding thousands of miles of land, or follow in the footsteps of the next ruler who will change the dynasty and live a peaceful and unified life?"
"I think~ I'm afraid that even those who secretly muttered dissatisfaction and shouted that they were looking for an opportunity to restore the old country were only because their own interests were damaged. Will such a person really shed his blood for the restoration of the country? I think there are far more people who can expect to sit back and enjoy the fruits than the former!~"
"There are even some so-called 'smart' people, who rush to become 'traitors' and change masters as soon as they encounter foreign invasions, tying themselves to the wheels of the chariot of the new ruler, just to invest their future interests as soon as possible. β
Just when Master Chen was teaching his disciples.
......
In the majestic castle complex of Duke Bartholomew, several people wearing thick leather armor and serrated shields, and holding various odd-shaped weapons without gauntlets, trotted all the way to the large room of Duke Maligaro, the leader of the Stormy Guild.
After knocking on the heavy solid oak door, it was only after a while that an old-fashioned and gruff voice came out: "What's the urgency? β
A few people opened the door, and inside was a wide and bright room, surrounded by wooden shelves with various weapons and armor in the corners as decorations, and a thick wooden board embedded in the wall on one side constituted the most conspicuous bookshelf after the entrance, on which were placed many books on the art of war, martial arts, and history with cowhide covers.
And in the midst of these martial things, there is a strange Maligaro standing on one foot.
He stood on one knee and leaned forward, almost parallel to the ground.
The other foot was twisted from the back to the back, resting on his shoulder, and his hands were lifted above his head in a strange clasped position.
The hot air swirled at his feet, holding Maligaro in the air as if there were dancing flames on the soles of his feet, and the cylindrical hot gas held him in the air all the time.
The most striking thing is his naked upper body.
An old man of nearly fifty years old, with plump muscles, not only no wrinkles, but also fine and smooth skin as smooth as marble, and ruddy and crystal blood, except for the short silver hair and the rare age spots on his face, he can no longer find the characteristics of "old people".
Maligaro's posture remained the same, and he slowly opened his eyes, and amazingly, his pupils were also different from ordinary people, like a bright red fire as hot as magma hidden in the depths.
When others saw him, they said, "Say, you are in such a hurry, what is the urgency to tell me?"
One of the warriors stepped forward and said respectfully, "A few of us have got the news. In the past few days, there have been a few of our bloody warriors who are good at drinking and greedy for glasses, and after getting drunk, they have clashed with prostitutes in the clubhouse in the city outside Sarn because of the competition for women. After several out-of-town businessmen and bodyguards were injured, they even went to the sheriff. β
Maligaro's limbs spread out like a fierce phoenix, and at the same time, the void jumped, and he instantly soared in front of this person, and said in a hard voice: "What kind of idiots are they? How dare you clash with the official forces of Sarn City at such an important juncture? If we spoil our big business, not only will we be drained of our souls, but our school will also suffer very serious losses! Have you already dealt with it?"
The warrior hesitated for a moment and said, "They have already been punished and confined, and they will not be released until the plan is launched." But ......"
Duke Maligaro glared at him and said suspiciously, "But what?
The tall burly warrior said honestly: "I heard that your son Ori Lines also had a conflict with female warriors of other schools, but the two sides fought empty-handed, and it was considered to be a point-and-go point, and there was no big incident. In the end, he couldn't stay in the clubhouse and ran out to soak women. β
The old duke frowned, and said helplessly: "Although Orry Lines is a little casual in playing with women, he still does things in a bit of measure. You just need to send someone to watch him for a while, the key is that the others can't make a fuss. By the way, how is that woman's martial arts?"
Another martial artist continued, "We feel that although that woman's moves are simple, she seems to have good qualifications, and she may be from other emerging schools that are not inferior to the Nine Supreme Martial Arts. β
Maligaro pondered for a moment and added, "Do you know why, until now, there are only nine supreme schools in the human inheritance?"
"Because there is potential, it will be suppressed and disappeared by our tacit cooperation before it is developed. So you can follow up on this matter and investigate the truth and truth, if it is the other nine schools, you don't need to be nervous. But if ...... No, you can kill her when you have the chance. β
The tall warrior whispered, "Yes, Lord Hui." On the side of the city police station, we also bought off many sheriffs in the name of the entertainment tycoons who run the song and dance clubs. The other officials all know how to behave, and they will not easily offend the masters who are obviously wealthy, so they should not come forward to report it, so as not to easily alarm the supreme wizarding council above. β
Maligaro said with a serious face: "That's good, but don't go wrong and let me down~"
