Chapter 18: The Night Is Hazy
"Well, this ......," Martin exclaimed, "after all, a telemancer." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
And Carmen, the psychic warlock who did what he did just now, took a sip of water from the cup and said, "It's nothing, it's just two third-level psionic abilities, the dice just now were lucky to achieve the results just now, if it's a real battle......"
"But it's really strong. Martin said.
In the adventure deduction just now, Carmen first cast a psionic blast, and then Liukrisa and Sasri used fireballs and lightning bolts to smash at immobile enemies, respectively. Eventually, under the onslaught of a group of heavy javelins from Carmen's telekinetic throw, all enemies in front of him were emptied.
"Psionic energy is already strong. Haven't you heard of such a joke? When the gods saw that the mages had become arrogant because of their special abilities, the gods created psionic powers to beat the mages and make them feel ordinary. Sasri said. In any case, as a warlock, she also uses arcane arts, and she is also very envious of the users of psionic powers.
The so-called Psychic Warlock has nothing to do with Warlocks at all, just like a half-lich who is not only a half-changed lich. Psychic warlocks are psionic people who see the arcane arts they use as nothing more than crutches of the mind. These people who carve their hearts have an amazing ability. In the face of spiritual power, both arcane and divine magic have become overshadowed. Someone once made an analogy that if the combat power of a warrior increases like addition, and the combat power of a caster of arcane and divine spells increases like multiplication, then the combat power of a person like a psychic warlock who cultivates his own spiritual ability increases is squared!
"But speaking of which, you Starch Spencer Druids have actually learned a lot from the Department of Mental Self-Molding. Carmen said.
"That's right, in addition to the Changelings (psychic sorcerers who specialize in psychic self-shaping) who have taught us a lot, our achievements have come from the Brain Suckers. β
Even the battle-hardened adventurers in the room were discolored when they heard Martin say this, and they knew how terrifying it was for those who wielded the tentacles of the sticky search. Not only do those guys have a habit of sucking human brains, but they're also natural psionic users.
"We paid a big price, but in the end we were able to overcome them...... In the end, as punishment for them sucking one of us, we grilled some of them as octopus skewers. Then Martin smiled slightly, "Even though I am us, we say so." But I didn't go to that war, which happened hundreds of years ago. β
This fortuitous conversation interrupted the adventure. So they simply rested.
Everyone has their own way of resting, some are drinking tea, others are closing their eyes to recuperate. Sasri picked up a delicate knife and used it to open her thumb nails, feeling the pain spreading from her fingertips all the way to her body, Sasri couldn't help but breathe rapidly, her nose fluttered, and she made a slight gasping sound.
Martin had turned a blind eye to the habit that the dark elf sorcerer Sasri had brought from the underground. He picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth and ate it.
"Do you like cake?" asked Lyukrixia as she walked up to him.
"This has something to do with my early experience, when I was young, and when I saw the lord's son eating cake, I ......" Martin's mind couldn't help but go back to the past. "Now, I am a free man, and I am not short of money, and I have to make up for it all. β
"Come on, when you come back for the celebration feast, you can eat it like you did in Norma's time. Canian leaned over and said.
"That...... I can't accept the act of just putting food in my mouth, chewing it, tasting it, and then spitting it out, it's too wasteful...... And after using vomiting to clear the stomach, he continued to come back and eat heavily...... I couldn't accept it even more. Martin replied.
"I'm just a metaphor," Canian said, "alright, let's get going." β
......
"Well, the day after tomorrow, we're going to fight. When the evening's adventures were over, and everyone was returning to their rooms, Martin stopped Canion.
"If it goes according to plan, yes...... What's wrong?" replied Canion.
"Then I have a request. Martin said.
"What request? And if there is a request, I should tell Trist. Canian said confusedly.
"But this request must be made to you. Martin persisted.
"Oh, then please. β
"I want to spend the night with Lyukrisia. Martin said
"W-what!" Cannian said in surprise.
"Calm down, I don't mean too much...... I respect women, and I don't have any dirty ideas. All I think is...... Maybe you don't believe me at all, but all I think of is to spend a night in the same room with her. She sleeps in the bed, I sleep on the floor or on the couch, as long as we can talk to each other. Martin explained.
"But it's not good, it's not necessary. I don't think I can agree with that. Canian refused.
"But I really want to spend the night like this. "Besides, when we came all the way before, wasn't it normal for everyone to spend the night together around the campfire?"
If it were any other time, Martin wouldn't have allowed it to do whatever he said. But for the request of those who are about to go out and are likely to die here...... Besides, Canion's relationship with Martin has been in contact with him for a while and he knows who Martin is. and Martin's actions when the two of them became prisoners of war, which Canionian reluctantly agreed.
"But I'm going to ask for Lyukrixia's permission. Canian said.
"Yes. β
......
To Canion's surprise, Lyukrisia agreed to Martin's request.
"If he wanted to do something, he did it. In that case, we will have no room for resistance. Lyukrixia said.
......
By the time Martin walked into Lyukrixia's room, it was already night. Liukrisa was reading a book, and when she saw Martin coming, she raised her head and smiled, "Please avoid it a little, it's time to go to bed, I'm going to change my pajamas." β
Martin turned away. Lyukrisia quickly accomplished all of this, signaling for Martin to turn around.
It was really a pajama without any temptation, with sleeves that reached to the wrist, trouser legs that were long enough to reach the ankles, a tightly covered neckline, no lace, and a bland color. In fact, it's the perfect pajamas to wear to wake up early in the morning, push open the window and enjoy the fresh air, then wash up and have breakfast with the family.
Martin wasn't surprised by this, because he wasn't expecting to see anything. He just casually chatted with Liucreexia, and he pointed to the clothes hanging on the wall and said, "Looks like you like shirts very much." β
"That's not it, in fact I'm not interested in dressing up. If it weren't for the need to wear that Sea Soul suit, then I would have been wearing a white shirt and black trousers every day. Lyukrixia replied.
When Lyuklia slipped into the bed in her pajamas, Martin lay down on the floor.
"I think Canian must be in the next room with a sword in hand to enter the first level of combat readiness right now. Martin joked to Lyukrixia.
"That's not going to ...... But what exactly is your purpose in doing this?" asked Lyukria Lyu.
"Chat, just chat. I'd love to just lie down in my room and talk to you before bed, I know it's hard to convince anyone, but ...... "Let's get started, and I'm interested in your experience." Lyukrixia interrupted Martin's speech.
"Okay, so I'll tell you a little bit about my experience with the trials?" Martin said.
"Trials?"
"Well, there's a big thing that has to be done among us. Wearing a special armband for monitoring, he didn't rely on any magic or other abilities, but only relied on his own body and his own intelligence, and only carried a knife and a rope to live in the wilderness for a while. β
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"Yes, and besides, that trial should be conducted very early, before the body is too far apart from ordinary people. β
"So, what is your trial process......"
"Actually, my trials weren't very difficult. My Master's trial was the hardest in 300 years. He was thrown on a desert island, and if it was a normal desert island, it would not be difficult to survive. You can pick up the bounty of the sea on the beach and catch giant turtles. Wild fruits can be found in the forests on the island. β
"But my master's situation was different that time, he was placed on a desert island in the distant South Sea. The desert island had just been hit by a typhoon, and the entire surface of the island had been ransacked. It's a veritable desert island, and the surface of this island is so smooth that it makes people feel hopeless at first sight. β
"So, how did he survive?" asked Liukrisia. Of course, she has crawled in the wild, but she has never encountered such a grim situation.
"That test itself is a test of willpower. My master survived. The typhoon washed away the island's surface, but it also brought rain, and the little rain that remained in the reef helped him survive the first two days. He kept an eye on the surface of the sea and was lucky to find a floating coconut. That was the last time a typhoon blew into the sea. The coconut not only brought him the pulp and coconut water, but also the container. He wanted to distill the seawater, but the fuel was only a few remaining tree stumps on the island, which was not to be wasted. He could only get a little fresh water at night by condensation, which he mixed with some seawater for drinking. If you pay attention to the proportions, then there is no problem in doing it. β
As for food, the surface of the island was swept away by the typhoon, so he put the object of his search underground. He searched carefully and dug out the rat from the hole. Luckily, however, he dug up a large snake, which he cooked with the only fuel he had, and the salt he obtained from the sea, to get him through the first few days. β
He quickly scavenged the resources of the palm-sized island, and even the few weeds that survived were swallowed by him. Fortunately, he had set his sights on the sea beforehand. Although the sea is an endless storehouse of food, it is difficult for a person who does not have any tools to use it. All he could do was build a pier of coral reef rocks in the intertidal zone, and wait until the tide recedes to see if there are any fish and crabs hiding in the piers. The other is to pick up shellfish and catch some small fish and shrimp with bare hands. and fishing for seaweed in the sea to satisfy hunger. β
"Nothing can not be eaten when one of our credos. You may wonder why there is such an inexplicable creed. But appetite is one of the two fundamental desires of human beings, and it is closely related to survival. In the trial, we have to test this with our own practical actions. My master, when the island was already three feet into the ground and there was not enough food from the sea, set his sights on insects......"
Eventually, he got through it. Maybe I was boring to talk about, but at the time, before I went to the trial, he told me about his experience, and I was really scared. I felt the pride I felt as a human being and when I fought against nature for my own survival. β
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββSince I was a child, I have always liked to read articles about survival in desperate situations...... But it's terrible to write it yourself. I've just watched the video of the black uncles hunting elephants, hippos, and bison with spears a few more times. Think of how many large land animals were exterminated by our ancestors, the new Homo sapiens with stones and sticks. Now it doesn't seem to be environmentally friendly. But I am willing to be proud of this! Human beings have been able to come to this point and look at the Siberian tiger Gil Lion with a compassionate eye, not because of any "reverence for nature", but because it has taken countless lives to come step by step, the survival of the fittest, and we are the winners in the struggle for survival.
To be honest, many people underestimate the strength of human beings. The human body itself is a wonderful flower, and how many years of evolution have shaped such a superior body...... Human endurance, explosiveness, and all kinds of senses are definitely not bad if combined. For example, dogs have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans, but what about sight? Dogs are simply color blind. Even without relying on modern civilization, human beings themselves are already terrible predators in nature. Back then, even mammoths couldn't escape the killing of humans.
Anyway, the expansion of DND really makes my head go big. Nine swords and psionic energy are enough...... Basically, there is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing that is not in the extension. The capacity of the cores is large enough, and the expansion is simply outrageous...... And the character cards that are fully expanded are simply demonic.
Some of my assumptions are very distorted of history, for example, the original war game was Prussia, but I pressed it on an empire many years ago...... And some of the settings are also very distorted DND rules. Explain it in advance.
I'm definitely going to drastically modify psionic powers, those that interfere with free will...... I hate it!
Children's Day is here, thinking about when I had June 1 ten years ago...... Time, time...... Sometimes I can't sleep at night when I think about it. Nothing has been accomplished all these years. I heard that Caesar used to cry in front of the statue of Alexander, saying that Alexander had conquered the world at that age, and that he Caesar had not achieved anything...... Shouldn't I also cry for photos of Sholokhov?
Another day is also approaching the 20th anniversary. Think of some people back then, and then think about today's Fan Ranran. In addition, I don't know if the one with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes didn't run away or didn't run for the sake of ideals, but I heard that he was really GAY, and he was really ......
