33. Teach a lesson
"Dol, this guy is really perverted, he could only swing eight hundred and seventy swords yesterday, and today he can support it for so long, perverted, perverted!" Corey looked at his money bag with a depressed face, and very sadly handed the two silver coins that accounted for most of the wealth to Alan who was smiling on the side, and muttered.
"Hmph, and Ben... Genius is better than gambling, you are too tender! Alan said to Corey like a proud rooster as he happily received the silver coins into his purse.
"You're still a genius, you have to know who has the lowest rank now, ahahaha!" Corey laughed without hesitation when he heard Allen's words.
It turned out that since the first cultivation a week ago, the level of the three of them can be said to have soared upwards at a rapid speed, and in just one week, the most perverted of the three of them has changed from a teenager who has not used the slightest fighting spirit and magic to a young generation leader with the peak swordsman-level fighting spirit and the divine power of the beginner-level magician jīng, and although Corey has not yet broken through the threshold of his low-level apprentice's fighting energy, he has the same beginner-level magician jīng divine power as Dole, and even stronger than Dole, As for Allen, he is the lowest level in the trio, but he also has the fighting spirit of a mid-level apprentice and the jīng divine power of a peak magic apprentice.
Of course, because Allen's cultivation talent can only be regarded as excellent, the level has not been able to catch up with the two in front, but Allen's life skills are very rich, and the mainland ≈ has a long ≈ style≈ literature and ≈, and knows a lot about △.♂x.n♂et knowledge, so Dole and Corey were blackmailed by Allen, creating a situation where Allen must win every gamble.
"Whew, I'm tired! Corina. Allan. Let's have breakfast! With the last sword split the stake in half. Dole dragged his sweaty body slowly towards the two who were arguing, and said weakly as he walked.
"I said why are you so perverted today, did you practice until midnight last night, causing me to lose to Allen again, and if I lose like this, I'm going to go bankrupt." As soon as Dole came over, Corey cried to Dole with a very aggrieved expression.
And after Allen on the side took Dole's sword and put it on the weapon rack in the training ground, when he heard Corey's words, he said with a smile on his face: "Who made you stupid!" It should be your honor to lose to this genius! ”
And Dole looked at the two guys on the left and right with a smile. said: "Let's not discuss these things first, I'm dying of hunger, and when Uncle Karst wakes up, we won't even have time to eat!" ”
The sun finally slowly climbed above the horizon, and the city of Rotsk began a day of bustle, and the three of Dole were walking along the noisy bounty avenue with the dwarf Rhon, and the various merchants and bounty hunters were shuttling back and forth along the way, dazzling the three of them.
"Yes, it's here, hey. You three, keep up! Dwarf Karst stood on a mechanical tripod and said to the three people behind him who were busy looking around. After the three of them came back to their senses and followed, they controlled the mechanical tripod under their feet and walked into a shop with a sign carved with stars.
"Ah, Master Karst, the cultivation room you requested has been prepared for you, please follow me." As soon as I entered the door, a receptionist who received customers said in surprise.
"Well, Ricka boy, do things pretty fast, the protective gear you want has been laid, go find the guild and get it yourself! Alright, lead the way. The dwarf Karst seemed to be familiar with the shop, and said as he was familiar with the road, motioning for the receptionist named Rika to lead the way.
"Thank you, Master, this way."
After a while, the three of them were already sitting in a small cultivation room similar to a secret room, only to see the dwarf Karst take out a card made of crystal from his arms and swipe it towards a magic crystal screen in the cultivation room, and after a slight magic fluctuation, a ray of light suddenly rose from the crystal screen, forming a small luminous sphere that was constantly floating. …
"Okay, I called you here this time because you all have a certain foundation of fighting qi and jīng divine power, and you can start cultivating fighting skills and magic." Suddenly, Karst's words rang out in the cultivation room.
"Huh? It's great to practice fighting skills and magic, I'm finally about to start my path to the Grand Magister! Alas, Uncle Karst, it hurts! After hearing the words of the dwarf Karst, Corey was about to start his white dream speech, when he was interrupted by a slap from the speechless dwarf Karst.
"You kid sit down for me, ahem! You should all know that fighting skills and magic are a kind of skills that evolved based on the power of fighting qi and jīng, so let me introduce fighting skills first. The dwarf Karst ignored the bitter look in Corey's eyes and spoke.
"Fighting skills are a kind of skills that can use your own fighting spirit to construct different types of attacks, the cultivation of general fighting skills is divided into four levels, and each level is divided into three realms: low, medium and high, entry-level fighting skills, silver-level fighting skills, gold-level fighting skills and saint-level fighting skills, but there are two kinds of fighting skills between gold-level fighting skills and saint-level fighting skills, which are legendary-level fighting skills and mythic-level fighting skills. The previous four fighting techniques have already included most of the fighting skills on the continent now, but some very powerful fighting skills are divided into the latter two, because the latter two fighting skills can be said to be the strongest fighting skills, they can make the cultivator's fighting qi level not reach the holy level when it is as powerful as the holy level fighting skills, but these two fighting skills are all extremely precious and very rare. ”
"And magic is like a fighting skill, it is just a technique that uses its own jīng divine power to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, magic is also divided into four levels and two special levels, and each level is divided into low, medium and high levels, the ordinary four levels are primary magic, silver magic, gold magic and holy magic, and the two special levels are also legendary magic and mythical magic, just like fighting skills, the latter two kinds of magic are also very precious and rare."
"And calling you here today is to let you choose an entry-level fighting skill and a primary magic to cultivate, here is a magic device connected to the Bounty General Guild, you only need to release jīng divine power, you can sense the fighting skill catalog and magic catalog in it. Each person chooses two of them. This device will then deliver the jīng god brand of this fighting skill or magic. ”
"Alright. The three of you choose for yourself, notify me when you're ready, I'll go to the tavern next to buy some barley wine first, damn Maris, actually steal Lao Tzu's good wine! After explaining, the dwarf Karst muttered to himself as he controlled the mechanical tripod and walked out.
"Well, Uncle Karst is gone like this? Uh, good. Let's get started. Corey said in slight surprise, and then saw that Alan and Dole had already closed their eyes and began to sense, obviously not wanting to be delayed by his white dream speech, so Corey closed his eyes with a depressed face.
"Wow, what a big place! Hey, are these clusters of light the same as what I saw in the room of that strange stone tablet? Just as Dol dispersed his divine power to the small floating ball of light, he felt a tearing sensation coming, and after being slightly stunned, he found himself standing in a very large cylindrical building, and countless dim light clusters floated above his head. So he said in slight surprise.
"No matter, let's see if these light clusters are the same as those in that strange stone tablet room." After Dole finished talking to himself. He stared intently at the closest ball of light to him, and after a while, a message suddenly came to Dole's mind from that ball of light.
"Low-level entry-level swordsman fighting skills, Polar Shadow Sword." …
"Double Polar Shadow Sword!" A soft shout came from the open-air cultivation ground, and I saw Dol holding a long sword more than one meter long in his hand, leaning forward slightly, and a faint light of fighting spirit lit up from his body, and then the whole person suddenly turned into two left and right, and Dol on the left turned into a black shadow and attacked the stake that was targeted, while Dol on the right turned into a sword-shaped light and shadow also attacked the stake.
"Click!" With a popping sound, Dore's figure reappeared five or six meters behind the stake, which had been turned into a cloud of sawdust.
"Whew!" Dol looked at the flying sawdust with a pale face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the fighting skill of the Double Polar Shadow Sword was the fighting skill he had chosen for a long time in the cylindrical building full of light.
"Double Polar Shadow Sword, mid-level entry-level swordsman fighting skills! The advanced version of the Swordsman's Fighting Skill Polar Shadow Sword requires the cultivator to have the Fighting Qi level of a high-level swordsman before he can cultivate. ”
At this time, on the other side of the cultivation ground, a soft shout also sounded, and I saw that many water droplets suddenly appeared on the cultivation field, and then the water droplets quickly turned into a water sword, straight to the wooden stake, but it only made the wooden stake shake slightly.
"Failed again! Alas, how could this low-level primary magic "Group Water Sword Technique" be so difficult to cultivate! I saw Alan look disappointed at the still shaking stake and said.
Seeing this, Dole smiled and shook his head, and then walked over to Allen.
"Group Water Swordsmanship!" With a soft shout, the air around Allen quickly became wet, and a grain of water droplets appeared out of thin air, turning into a small water sword as soon as it appeared, only to see that these water swords continued to condense, and finally, when the sword body began to reflect the light that went straight down from the sky, a water sword with a slight whistling sound, turned into an afterimage and rushed to the wooden stake in front of it.
"Click!" With a crackling sound, the thick wooden stake, which was originally a person high, was instantly beaten with thousands of holes, leaving only a broken base on the ground.
"Haha, I made it! Dole, I made it! Alan was overjoyed to see the stake turn into a piece of wood under his magic, and said to Dole, who was instructing Corey on the side.
"Hehe, I said it, as long as you calm down and don't be in such a hurry, you will definitely be able to do it!" Dole looked at Allen, who ran over with a happy face, said with a smile, and then directly gave Allen a happy hug, and said, "Come on!" ”
However, Dole didn't see it, and a shy expression suddenly appeared on the face of Allen, who was originally ecstatic, and Allen pushed Dole away with a slight blush, and then said, "Well, I'm going to continue practicing!" Then he ran to his training stake as if he were running away and continued practicing.
"Heh, Alan is really in a hurry! I was so happy that my face was red! "For a guy like Dole, who lacks a warp in his head, it's really hard to see how Eren is doing.
"Hmph, Dole, teach me how to use this 'Earth Spike'. Otherwise, I'll be laughed at by that guy Alan again today! "Of course. Even Dole didn't notice that Eren was any different from usual. This guy with no menstrual head will not feel any difference.
Time passed slowly in the cultivation of several people, and after a few days, Dole had completely mastered the "Double Polar Shadow Sword" fighting technique he had obtained, and was about to start practicing his own magic, and Corey and Alan had basically mastered the magic they had obtained, so, at dinner one day, Master Maris discussed with the dwarf Rhon. It was decided to send the three of them to the low-level Demonic Beast Forest near Rotsk City to train in the Senos Forest, as a way to test their cultivation results in the past half month. …
The Cynos Forest, known as the training camp on the Kaias Plain by countless bounty hunters and merchants, because it is rich in all kinds of low-level elixirs, low-level metal ores and various low-level Warcraft, originally a long time ago, the Xenos Forest was also a dangerous gathering place for high-level Warcraft, but due to the rise of the Snow Ridge Mountains in the past 10,000 years, the Xenos Forest was cut in half by the mountains, half of which was located on the Kaias Plains, and the other half was located on the other side of the Snow Ridge Mountains. It's the land of the continent known as the Misty Forest.
And since the Snow Ridge Mountain Range was raised, there had never been a high-level demonic beast in the Senos Forest on this side. There were only a few first- and second-order low-level demonic beasts left to roam here, and over time, this forest became a place used by the major empires and major demonic martial arts academies to conduct freshman trials.
"Ha, how can the little Thanos Forest stop me, the future archmage! Look at a 'Earth Spike' in my left hand, and a 'Earth Spike' in my right hand, and those fragile monsters I killed are running around! In an ordinary carriage, Corey was driving the horses as he boasted to the other two people in the carriage.
And Dole and Allen, both closed their eyes and concentrated on cultivation at this time, completely ignoring Corey's speech, and the angry Corey could only use the whip in his hand to vent his anger at the two fire cloud horses in front of him.
It had been nearly three hours since the three of them left Rotsk City, and Corey had been talking from under the huge gates of Rotsk City to the avenue of Senos Forest, but for Dole and Alan, Corey could not produce any damage at all.
"Well, it's finally here, Corey, concentrate on the horses, don't wait for us to reach the forest, these two horses will let you run away!" After another half an hour, a green forest finally appeared on the horizon of the Imperial Avenue, and Dole slowly withdrew from the cultivation state, opened his eyes, and saw at a glance that the depressed Corey was holding a horse to vent his anger, so he said with a smile.
"Hmph, you two are comfortable, more than six hours of cultivation along the way will pass, and I'll be left alone here to drive these two stupid horses!" Seeing that Dole had withdrawn from his cultivation state, Corey immediately opened his mouth to complain.
Dole looked at Corey who kept complaining with a speechless face, and regretted in his heart: "If I had known, I wouldn't have quit the cultivation state so quickly, Alan, come and save me!" ”
In the midst of Corey's complaints, before the sun went down, the three of them finally came to a small town called Nota outside the Senos Forest, and soon, the three of them found a tavern, and after putting all the equipment in the tavern room, the three of them came to the lobby of the tavern, only to see a noise no less than the tavern in the city of Rotsk, which made the three people who like to be very excited.
"Boss, three glasses of good barley!" Corey sat down at a table at the side of the tavern and shouted to the tavernkeeper.
Dole and Alan sat down, watching the noisy crowd of people in the tavern, and occasionally hearing some bounty hunters talking about the deeds of the Thanos Forest.
"Haha, old cow, that batch of herbs and magic cores have been sold, come and drink two cups!"
"Haha, come on, come on, make a big profit, celebrate!"
"Have you heard that the Royal Demon Academy of the Vic Empire is going to send new students to the Senos Forest for trials recently! And the leader of the team is the first second-year magic Emily who is known as the 'Fire Queen'? Nossy. ”
"Oh? Is that Ivy, one of the three flowers of the empire? Nossey, heard of her father, Edward? It seems that the Grand Magister of Noshi has recently begun to retreat and attack the high-level Grand Magi rank. ”
"I also heard that not only the Royal Demon Martial Academy of the Vic Empire, but also the advanced magic martial arts academies of several other empires have also sent people to try!" …
"Well, according to the usual practice, it's almost this time. It looks like the Forest of Thanos is going to be unquiet for a while! ”
…
The three of Dole were quietly drinking spicy barley wine. While listening, the topic of discussion in the tavern gradually shifted to the topic of the Demon Martial Academy. Corey couldn't help but ask, "Royal Demon Martial Academy?" What kind of place is that?! Is there a genius like me? ”
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Dole's head on the side, and explained: "The Royal Demon Martial Academy is known as the cradle of the 'Future Star of the Empire', and only fifty people are recruited every year, and everyone who can enter the Royal Demon Academy is a genius among geniuses. ”
"Oh. Isn't she as powerful as you, you're now at the level of a peak swordsman! At this time, Alan suddenly interjected, and there was a deep disdain in his words, as if he knew the "Fire Empress".
Just when Dore and Corey were surprised by Alan's words, the fan door of the tavern was slowly pushed open by a young man, only to see a young man in an ordinary robe walk into the tavern, the young man seemed to be very familiar with the tavern, and after a while came to an empty wine table, asked for a glass of barley wine and kept staring at the door of the tavern, as if waiting for someone.
About a quarter of an hour passed. A burst of laughter came from outside the tavern, and after a while. The door of the tavern was pushed open by a strong orc, and a group of teenagers and girls who knew at a glance that they were students of the academy walked in, only to see that these teenagers and girls who were all wearing the same standard magic robes had just entered, and they attracted the attention of most of the people in the tavern.
"Look, it seems to be the symbol of the Rutgers Empire's Shimmer Magic Academy."
"Eh, really, I didn't expect the team from the Rutgers Empire to come so soon."
"Well, I heard that this time Shimmer sent out the grandson of the Grand Duke of the Rutgers Empire, known as the 'Son of Hope'? Rutgers. ”
"So isn't there a drama to watch this time? I heard that there seems to be a big contradiction between the 'Fire Empress' and the 'Son of Hope'. ”
…
While everyone in the tavern was still discussing this group of people, this group of teenagers and girls dressed in the uniforms of the Shimmer Demon Martial Arts Academy were looking for an empty wine table in the tavern.
"Ray, it seems like there's nowhere to do it." The orc boy who pushed open the door of the tavern before said to a young man with a proud expression behind him with a humble face.
"Hmph, what do you mean that there are no seats, young master, I see that there are still many places! You, go and call the three people over there, no, and say that I want that table, young master. The young man looked around, and the hand that was originally pointing at the young man in ordinary robes suddenly paused, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly turned to the wine table where the three of Dole were sitting, and said arrogantly.
"Boom!" As soon as the arrogant boy's words fell, the tavern was like a huge pebble thrown into the calm lake, and everyone made way for the arrogant young man and the three of them with a good show.
Seeing this situation and the arrogant young man who was getting closer and closer, Doll sighed in his heart: "Forget it, it's better not to cause trouble when you go out." ”
So, Dole got up and shook his head gently at Corey and Allen, Corey and Alan sighed understandingly, and then were about to get up and give up the table, and at this time, the arrogant young man also walked to the table of the three, looked at the three who were about to leave, and said very arrogantly: "Hmph, there is no father's bad goods!" This sentence said, even the people watching the play on the sidelines felt that the young man was too arrogant.
And Dole, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped when he heard this, stretched out his hand to stop Corey, who was about to rush up, lowered his head and said, "What did you say?" Say it again?! ”
The arrogant young man was slightly surprised for a moment, then laughed and said, "Haha, what's wrong with saying that you are a bad thing?!" Do you have an opinion? Aha... Hah..."
When the arrogant young man was laughing, he suddenly felt a piercing chill coming, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and he saw Dole on the other side raise his head, and the whole person suddenly burst out with a strong breath, and the arrogant young man with a smile on the corner of his mouth was cold.
"Lu... Rook, teach him a lesson! With the arrogant young man's panicked shout, a young man with a god sèyīn rushed out of the crowd behind him, and the young man just saw Dole, the corner of his mouth showed a disdainful smile, and then said: "Hmph, it's strange that you actually turned around and scared my master!" ”
As soon as the words fell, this young man named Luke pulled out a thin sword, his whole body burst out with fighting energy, and he chuckled and instilled fighting spirit and stabbed towards Dor.
And Dole still maintained a smile, as if he could not see the slightest sign of anger, slightly stretched out a hand, five fingers opened, completely ignoring the thin sword that was stabbing rapidly in front of him, but looked at the sword-wielder Luke, and said softly: "Burst, serial bombs!" (To be continued......)
