After the Demon Exorcism War, although the Imperial Family of Jin'an regained the national capital, the country's strength has plummeted since then and has fallen into a long period of weakness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the intentional or unintentional actions of the Dayu Empire, although most of the rebels in Jin'an were eliminated, there were many small rebel forces left in various places.

For more than 200 years, the orders of the Emperor of Jin Anguo did not leave the national capital, and war and chaos became the main theme of the land of chasing demons. Only when things are big, the Dayu Empire will come out to suppress it to a certain extent, but it will not let the situation get better, nor let the situation get worse, so it will not die or live to maintain the situation of chasing demons.

After listening to the six puppets' narration, Guo Xiaoshi already had a general understanding of the land of chasing demons. To put it bluntly, this is like a war-torn area like the Middle East on the earth, and the Dayu Empire is the driving force behind all this.

Knowing the environment he was in, Guo Xiaoshi became a little curious: "Uncle, since it's so chaotic here, why did you come back here?" ”

You must know that the empire treats retired soldiers very preferentially, and people like the six puppets can definitely get a generous retirement pension after retiring from the army, and they can also ask to live in a good place, and under normal circumstances, they should not appear in a place like the land of chasing demons.

The six puppets sighed lightly when they heard this, and they didn't know what they remembered, and then they smiled bitterly before they said, "In the past, the Wild Lion Legion used to garrison here, but after I retired, I came back here because of some personal matters, and I didn't want to leave. ”

The six puppets didn't say much about his "private affairs", and introduced Geli City to Guo Xiaoshi: "Actually, this place is not as bad as you think, although Geli City is only a small city, it is better than peace, and there has been no major war for many years." After I settled in the city, I used some of my retirement money to buy six eight-legged demons and help the caravan transport goods, and my life was quite good. They nicknamed me the Six Golems because I had these six eight-legged demons......"

Guo Xiaoshi listened quietly to the six puppets' narration, and realized that these eight-legged demons in the caravan were not owned by the caravan, but each had its own owner. The six golems do jobs like porters and drivers, in addition to transporting goods, they usually have to maintain and repair the eight-legged demons, if they are placed on the earth, they should be in the transportation industry.

It is precisely because of this that the six puppets rescued Guo Xiaoshi before, and in order to move Guo Xiaoshi's position, he had to reduce some of the goods, so he was fined by the caravan's steward, and he was also asked to carry out dangerous pathfinding missions.

When it came to the matter of pathfinding, Guo Xiaoshi couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, are you exploring the path...... Have you spotted the thieves? ”

The six puppets nodded: "I saw people, but there are only a small number of people, I don't know how many people there are." If there are few people, the caravan's escort can still be topped, but if there are many people, there is no way. After a slight pause, he added: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this, I have followed the caravan to so many places, and I have not seen anything like a thief." Those thieves generally don't kill people, especially us coolies, as long as the caravan negotiates with them and gives them enough money and goods, they will let us go, after all, everyone will fight hard in a hurry, and it will not do them any good. ”

After thinking about the words of the six puppets, Guo Xiaoshi also felt that it made sense, the thieves group was just asking for money, and there was no need to kill and hurt people at all, otherwise everyone in the caravan would fight together to resist, and they would lose more than they gained.

Thinking about it like this, Guo Xiaoshi suddenly became less worried about the imminent encounter with thieves.

The two chatted for a while, and after the six puppets found dry food and shared food with Guo Xiaoshi, the two set up a tent to sleep together.

Whether in the Grim Reaper training camp or the recruit training camp, Guo Xiaoshi has learned a lot of skills for survival in the wild, and things like setting up tents are easy for him, but the way the six puppets set up the tent is a bit peculiar, and the whole tent is actually semi-recessed into the land, so before setting up the tent, you need to dig a small pit first.

While digging a pit, the six puppets explained to Guo Xiaoshi very funny: "It's really terrible to mess up some places in the land of chasing demons, and there may be battles at any time, so I can camp like this to avoid bullets that don't know where to fly, although every time it's troublesome, but I can ensure that I won't fall asleep and be killed when I sleep." ”

Guo Xiaoshi understood what the six puppets meant, took the initiative to grab the shovel of the six puppets, and quickly dug the pit, and quickly set up a low tent.

The caravan men slept in tents, all the tents were gathered together, and the eight-legged demons crouched on the periphery, forming a simple large canopy. If someone wants to rob the camp at night, this arrangement can play a role in blocking it to some extent.

Guo Xiaoshi looked at the sky before going to bed, the sky of the sky is really similar to the earth, although there is no moon, but the sky is full of stars, shining brightly, like countless gems scattered in the sky, very beautiful.

Guo Xiaoshi suddenly missed his grandfather Long Shifang a little. After becoming an official soldier of the Giant Scythe Legion, he went to the command headquarters to inquire about Long Shifang's whereabouts, but was told that Long Shifang was in a secret army, and specific information could not be provided to him, so he never heard from Long Shifang.

I don't know where Long Shifang was when the Wa Blue Star exploded, did he dodge...... As soon as he thought of this, Guo Xiaoshi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed softly, he could only hope that Long Shifang was safe and sound!

Unconsciously, Guo Xiaoshi fell asleep.

The next day, the caravan started early, Guo Xiaoshi in addition to cultivating, sitting in the bag on the back of the eight-legged demon, looking at the scenery along the way, it was very fresh

The six golems didn't go to explore the way anymore, because six eight-legged demons broke down in the caravan, and the "drivers" came to him and begged him to help fix it, so the six golems got up early in the morning and started to be busy.

Guo Xiaoshi quietly watched the six golems work, and found that a huge spar was placed on the abdomen of each eight-legged demon, and the surrounding metal surface was engraved with an arm-thick array of source energy, all of which were connected to the spar. Although Guo Xiaoshi didn't know how to make a source energy array, he could see that that spar was the core of all source energy arrays. It's like a battery, and without it, the eight-legged demon can't move.

The six golems obviously knew some knowledge of the source energy array, and with three eight-legged demons that had broken down under his repairs, they were all quickly back into operation.

When the six puppets sat down to rest, Guo Xiaoshi hurriedly brought a glass of water over and said, "Uncle, you are really powerful, you can actually repair the broken source energy array." ”

The six golems took the water and said while drinking: "I only know a little bit of skin, I used to learn in the military, things that are too complicated must not be repaired, these eight-legged demons are very simple, I can barely cope with it." ”

Guo Xiaoshi's mind turned, and he asked tentatively: "Uncle, why don't you teach me?" I want to learn! ”

"Oh? Do you want to learn this? The six puppets turned their heads to look at Guo Xiaoshi: "Are you serious?" ”

Guo Xiaoshi nodded vigorously: "I want to learn!" ”

"Okay, I can teach you what I know." The six puppets nodded, and said with a serious expression: "But I have to state in advance, I don't know much, it's really just a little scratching, if the things taught are wrong, you can't blame me in the future." ”

Guo Xiaoshi said sincerely: "No, uncle, if you are willing to teach me, I will be very grateful." ”

"That's fine!" The six golems put down the cup and said, "Then you come with me, there are still three eight-legged demons that have not been repaired, I will tell you while repairing, it is very simple, you should be able to get started soon." ”

"Good!"

Guo Xiaoshi nodded happily and followed the butt of the six golems towards the three eight-legged demons.

In the following time, Guo Xiaoshi has been working with the six puppets to repair the three eight-legged demons, and the six puppets have told Guo Xiaoshi some of the basic principles of the source energy array while repairing, Guo Xiaoshi has memorized while watching, although it is only for a short period of time, but it still allows him to learn a lot of things.

To put it bluntly, the function of the source energy array is to convert the void source energy contained in the hedron into mechanical energy, and all the array depictions are carried out around this purpose.

Eight-legged demons don't have many functions, and their working principle is very simple, so the source energy array on their bodies is not complicated. After the six puppets talked about it once, the last eight-legged demon simply asked Guo Xiaoshi to try it out.

Guo Xiaoshi was not stage frightened, and after repairing it, although he couldn't fix it all at once, but under the patient guidance of the six puppets, he finally repaired the third eight-legged demon by stumbling into it, which made his heart inexplicably full of a sense of accomplishment and excitement.

The six puppets were obviously also very satisfied with Guo Xiaoshi's learning ability, so they said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You learn things quickly, maybe you can become an inscription master in the future!" ”

Guo Xiaoshi was curious: "Inscription master? What is that? ”

The six puppets explained: "Repairing the source energy array is not the most difficult, what is really difficult is to depict the source energy array from scratch. In the Empire, anyone who can depict even the simplest of a complete source energy array can go to the Inscription Guild to apply for the title of Inscription Master. After a slight pause, the face of the six puppets showed a look of longing, and said: "Every inscription master is a treasure of the empire, and his status is very transcendent, it is said that the population of the empire exceeds 100 billion, but the inscription masters of the entire inscription guild are only 10,000 people, and from this number comparison, you can imagine how precious the inscription masters are." ”

After listening to the words of the six puppets, Guo Xiaoshi finally understood the weight of the "inscription master", and of course he also understood that the words of the six puppets before that he "might be able to become an inscription master in the future" were just an encouraging compliment, and they could not be taken seriously at all.

The sixth puppet glanced at Guo Xiaoshi and continued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I was your age, I dreamed of becoming an inscription master, but unfortunately, dreams are just dreams...... After sighing lightly, he said: "I know many inscription masters' cultivation methods, but I can tell you about it, let you give it a try, maybe you have the qualifications to become an inscription master?" ”

"Okay, give it a try and don't lose anything."

Guo Xiaoshi didn't care about "becoming an inscription master" in his heart, but just followed the words of the six puppets and said: "In case I accidentally become an inscription master in the future, isn't it equivalent to helping Uncle you fulfill your dream?" ”
