Chapter 32: Contrast
After dealing with all the government affairs, Dugu Feng took a short rest, and then went directly to the training ground and began to accept the advice of his followers.
The training ground was a large open space, with a babbling stream in front, a dense forest behind it, and two bushes trimmed like guardrails on the left and right sides. A simple two-storey building next to the training ground was a place for weapons and repair equipment, as well as a place for simple rest and accommodation.
As an existence aspiring to become a god, it is necessary to spread his reputation as widely as possible when he is a mortal, and if he wants to gain prestige, in addition to carrying out various legendary adventures and participating in major events that are well-known throughout the country. The most convenient way to do this is to create an organization, a whole new school of swordsmanship.
The Sword Throne established by Dugu Feng, although it is still very immature, there is no doubt that it is developing in this direction. As an organization that appears as a martial arts school, members who join the Sword Throne have the opportunity to receive guidance in combat techniques, especially the core members, and there is a chance to get Dugu Feng's personal guidance once a month.
In the DND series of games, players learn skills very simply, as long as they farm monsters, do tasks, praise experience, and earn gold coins. But in a real world, even if you have experience, gold and resources, you must be taught and guided. All power systems cannot be learned in a vacuum, and many unique skills and specialties cannot be recorded in the so-called secret books.
Therefore, in the real world of Faeron, if a warrior wants to advance, the real obstacle is not the experience attribute, but the fact that there is no mentor who can teach you professional skills. And the Sword Throne created by Dugu Feng has been developed by the whole people to provide teaching on professional combat skills, which is something worth celebrating for the majority of bitter adventurers who have no way to get started.
Therefore, not long after the establishment of Dugu Feng's Sword Throne, it has developed rapidly, not only the adventurers who are begging for a life in the Bodur's Gate area are looking forward to joining the Sword Throne, but even many adventurers who are far away in Amm and Waterdeep City have come all the way to seek apprenticeship after hearing about it.
However, now Dugufeng's main base has not yet been established, and the structure of the Sword Throne has not yet been built, so she still maintains strict selection criteria, and the selected ones are all elite figures among the adventurers, as for the large-scale opening in the future, it is what she will do next.
"Dear Charafe! I have a lot of questions about the profession of the 'Dragon Elephant Warrior Monk' taught by the Master of the Golden Ring! "Among the followers, the first to come out for advice was the Drow Elf Vandis, a Drow genius who practiced both mage and monk, although he had been taught the entire lineage of the "Dragon Elephant Warrior Monk" profession by his mentor, Master "Golden Ring", in the form of "empowerment".
But as he continued to cultivate, he found that some of the skills taught by his mentor could not be successfully cultivated at all, and the effects of some skills had undergone strange mutations, and only some skills could be successfully cultivated. This strange phenomenon puzzled him.
"How much do you know about the profession of the 'Dragon Elephant Warrior Monk'? Do you have any idea of the full-time needs of the genre of 'intelligent dragon elephants'? ”
Dugu Feng did not directly answer Fandis's question, but asked Fandis's understanding of the dragon elephant warrior monk.
"Dear Charafis, according to my mentor, Master of the Golden Ring, the profession of becoming a dragon elephant warrior is like becoming a holy warrior of the gods, and one must study the scriptures of a great deity named 'Buddha' and understand the teachings of 'Buddha'."
Vandis earnestly expounded his understanding of the dragon elephant warrior monk profession and the great deity 'Buddha', he said: "Buddha is a great being in the other plane, he is undoubtedly a powerful deity, he is in charge of the priesthood of manipulating space and fate, and he is a deity who is more chaotic and evil than Queen Rose. He preaches different doctrines and oracles to different believers, is happy to see believers fighting each other in conflicting transactions, is known for his capricious stance, and is happy to let believers torn between gaining and losing...... To please this great being, you must be willing to create contradictions and confusion, so that more people will suffer between gaining and losing......"
Hearing Vandis seriously explain his understanding of Buddha, Dugu Feng couldn't help but look strange. Vandès's understanding may sound a bit outlandish, but in some ways it is not necessarily unreasonable. People who grew up in the Oriental philosophical system have long been accustomed to the Buddhist and Taoist classics, and even if they do not understand the profound philosophical truths in them, they still have a general good impression.
However, if you think about it carefully and understand it from another angle, the various ideas of "impermanence", "namelessness", "formlessness" and "selflessness" in the Buddhist teachings of compassion and universal sentient beings are also manifestations of chaos and chaos. It's just that this chaos and chaos are contained in a supreme philosophical core, which is only the appearance, not the essence.
Vandis is a drow elf, and since he was a child, he has been exposed to the teachings of the queen of the Roseworm spider, so when he encounters the teachings of other gods, he will subconsciously think about the teachings of the Buddha in the way of thinking of the drow elf. As the saying goes, seeing nature is a Buddha, and there are a thousand Buddhas in the eyes of a thousand people, and this understanding of Buddhist teachings is not necessarily wrong, but the result is very interesting.
Because of the differences in culture and the world, it is not uncommon for the god of goodness and virtue in one world to become the dark god of original sin in another world. For example, in some worlds dominated by the Cthulhu Mythos, the power of the gods and Buddhas of other worlds is projected in the past, and they will naturally be distorted by the world and become distorted like the evil gods of Cthulhu.
The world of Faeron is a world dominated by belief in gods, and in the beliefs of living beings, the gods they believe in can be directly born. For example, the ancient Egyptians who were captured from the earth by the Imaska Empire, their belief in this world directly gave birth to the ancient Egyptian gods.
Dugu Feng felt that if Vandis passed on his understanding of Buddha extensively, it might be very interesting to directly give birth to a chaotic and evil god called "Buddha" in this world in the future.
Thinking like this, Dugu Feng was not in a hurry to correct Vandis's understanding of the Buddha. The problems he encountered in cultivating the profession of Dragon Elephant Warrior actually had nothing to do with beliefs and doctrines, but because of the different worlds, he learned from another profession of the Crystal Wall system, and many skills and cultivation methods had to be corrected before they could be used.
As for this profession called Dragon Elephant Warrior Monk, in fact, Dugu Feng is also very familiar with it, it is the most famous stupid martial arts of the gold system, "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong".
Before entering the world of Feilun, Dugu Feng did still have the idea of correcting his profession and changing the status of the warrior. However, after really gaining an in-depth understanding of the DND power system and entering the world of Feiren, Dugufeng found that she didn't need to do much.
As a high-magic world with a long history of power and countless glorious civilizations born and destroyed, the class system of the world of Faeron has been developed very well and perfectly, in addition to the most widely recognized magic, the combat class is also very complete and perfect.
Although the warriors of the DND world have always been despised as dicks, and are often easily beaten into dogs by the master, but in fact, true and fair, the warriors of DND are not weak, at least, the warriors below the tenth level are not worse than the warriors of Jin Yong's martial arts world, and even from the comparison of many combat skills and martial arts, many skills on both sides are almost identical, and they have the same effect.
For example, one of the most common level 1 casual skills of a warrior, "Homeopathic Slash", is able to slash at another target after hitting one target. This is basically no different from moves such as "pushing the boat down the river" in the martial arts world.
For example, "Harvest Strike", a skill that breaks through the opponent's defenses with unexpected stabs and small blows sandwiched between a wide open and close slash, also has the exact same effect as a move such as "Hidden Needle".
In addition, almost all warrior skills such as the warrior skill "Iron Flow" and the martial arts "Iron Mountain Lean", "Shattering Strike" and "Tarzan Pressing", "Double Strike" and "Serial Sword", "Whirling Sweep" and "Autumn Wind Sweeping Leaves", etc., can find corresponding martial arts moves and martial arts for almost all warrior skills. And in the same way, almost all martial arts moves and martial arts can also find corresponding warrior skills.
Except for the lack of the transcendent energy of True Qi Internal Force, the warrior's combat skills and moves are almost no different from those of a martial artist. However, in the world of Faerun, although warriors do not have the extraordinary energy of true qi, they have almost no limit of physique, and their bodies that are naturally infiltrated with magical power, and they do not need to deliberately form the energy of true qi. To some extent, there is not much difference from the outside-in martial arts world of outsiders.
The warrior is not not strong, but he has met a more perverted mage. In fact, in this world, a warrior is a master of combat skills who has mastered the art of battle through countless hours of training, as well as a perfect physique and will honed through countless adventures and battles.
Soldiers are like professional elite special forces, they exercise their physique, will and combat skills, but they themselves have not risen to the height of the cognitive world and philosophy, so they are extremely dependent on equipment, bloodline or special abilities, just as soldiers must rely on guns, pilots must rely on aircraft, pilots must rely on mechas, and they do not have the ability to manufacture these equipment. Therefore, against the Faye, just like a soldier in the era of cold weapons, and a scientist who manipulates various advanced weapons, he is beaten by all kinds of tricks.
However, warriors are not without a way to turn over, and mages are not the only way to understand the world and transform the world. The warriors of the Eastern world can constantly upgrade by perceiving the nature of heaven and earth, comprehending the philosophical conception, and tapping their own spiritual abilities, and finally become a strong force who can fight against the grass with the Master.
In the same way, in the DND world where magic is the mainstream, there are also advanced routes and professions for warriors. Even the most dick warriors, when they are above level ten and embark on the road of exemplary, there are also advanced professions such as "Sword Masters" who combine human swords and swords, swordsmanship masters who regard swordsmanship as art, and so on.
Among them, the path of the unity of man and sword chosen by the sword master is similar to that of the sword master in the martial arts world after reaching a certain level.
In addition, there are various martial artists who, like the Oriental martial artists, sublimate their combat skills to a philosophical level and combine their life creeds. Among them, the nine martial arts schools known as the "Nine Swords" are also not inferior to martial artists in the alien world such as the Tang Dynasty.
Basically, all the skills of a warrior profession in the DND world are equivalent to a set of all-round systematic martial arts in the martial arts world, including mental methods, internal skills, light skills, moves, external skills, and so on. Therefore, the martial arts of the Great Wheel Temple, which is mainly based on "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong", have directly become the profession of dragon elephant warrior monks in this world, and "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" has also become a martial arts school similar to the Nine Swords.
And Dugufeng's own "Heart Sword Divine Formula" has also been alienated into the profession of "Heart Sword Divine Envoy" in this world, the Seven Techniques of Heart Sword, which has become a ruthless heart, a proud heart, an angry heart, a crystal heart and other different schools of practice.
This kind of world-corrected alienation is very interesting, which makes Dugufeng feel like looking at the scenery through a haha mirror.
There are a total of thirteen levels of the Dragon Elephant Warrior Monk profession that has been alienated by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, and basically each level of the Dragon Elephant Warrior Monk is equivalent to a second-level ordinary profession.
