Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Chongbang Family
Seeing this oversized water gun, Gangu Yu was also taken aback, and subconsciously slowed down the speed at which it flew out. It's not impossible to control the magic after it's struck, but it's a lot more difficult to do so, and it's not impossible for people who control magic to a certain level of accuracy, and it also consumes extra mana.
The larger water gun stabbed against the water shield with a tooth-aching sound. Then, the water shield could no longer hold it up, and shattered overwhelmed. The water cannon was consumed and continued to fly forward, although it did not hit Peipei, who had already escaped, but directly smashed the fence of the small courtyard into a section.
"Are you committing murder?" the disgraced Pei Pei stood up and pointed at Gangu Yu is scolding, "Leng Ding put a strengthened water gun, what if I don't dodge?"
"Who told you to hide?" Unexpectedly, the evil man of Gangu Yu sued first, "I'll let you help test the power of magic, one water shield is not enough, wouldn't it be good for you to arrange a few more?"
Pei Pei was speechless for a while. After all, she has little actual combat experience, and when she sees the water gun technique beyond her cognition, her first reaction is to hide, and she can still take care of the purpose of Gangu Yu to let her open the shield. The Water Shield is only a first-order magic, and Pei Pei can rush to chant at least one Water Shield before the Water Gun arrives.
However, through these experiments, Gangu Yu still has a rough idea in his heart. In fact, from the time of papermaking, he has already seen some clues. The same A5 paper takes the longest time to use bamboo as a raw material in papermaking, while wheat straw is the shortest. It is easiest to make a magic scroll from bamboo paper, while paper from wheat straw is a little more difficult. On top of that, magic scrolls made of bamboo paper seem to have a certain bonus to magic, while wheat straw paper weakens the magic recorded in them.
That's probably the result, but the reason is not something that Ganguyu can figure out now. It stands to reason that bamboo and wheat are herbaceous plants belonging to the same family of grasses, why is the gap so big?
But doubts are doubts, and Gangu Yu is quite satisfied with this result. In the end, he had a whim, tore off a piece of toilet paper and wanted to make a magic scroll to try, but the paper was indeed strong enough, even if the lines outlining the magic circle were of different thicknesses, and occasionally there were ink balls, but in the end, Gangu Yu succeeded.
But although toilet paper is also bamboo paper, making this magic scroll is very time-consuming and laborious, not to mention the more mana it consumes, and the magic cast in the end is not as powerful as the magic scroll made of wheat straw paper.
After initially testing the performance of bamboo paper, Gangu Yu was about to choose a piece of land to plant a bamboo forest, and Linlin ran over: "Xiao Guyu...... Pei Pei is also here, just right, I'm here to pass the word. The High Priest has decided to hold a reception banquet for the guests of the Wizard Academy in the evening in the Holy Tree Square, so that you two must be on time. ”
"Specifically to inform the two of us?" Pei Pei looked surprised, "Are you sure it's us?"
In the past, when a guest came to visit the Natural Forest, a group of people led by the Discipline Elder wished that Pei Pei would not come out to meet people, and when there was a reception banquet, she would at most accompany the last seat without saying a word, and more often she was very interested in directly saying that she was not sick.
"That's us. Gangu Yu nodded with certainty, "The High Priest wants to introduce the talented magician who cultivated the improved grapes to the academy for purchase. ”
"Even if it's true, is it really okay for you to boast like that, genius magician?" Pei Pei turned his head and gave him a blank look.
"You've said it all, it's true. Gangu Yu spread his hands.
Pei Pei didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned to look at Linlin: "Which magister is coming this time?"
At the mention of this, Linlin's little face collapsed suddenly. Pei Pei looked at her like this, and his face was clear: "Yes, you don't have to say it, it must be that guy." ”
"What, what kind of mountain do you have a grudge with?" Gan Guyu said curiously.
Lin Lin was surprised: "How do you know it's him?
"How can I know it, I just heard it by chance. Gan Guyu shook his head and smiled, "But this name has a strong sense of disobedience, won't there be a name for Inoue?"
Pei Pei was surprised when he heard this: "Is there anything strange about this?"
Gangu Yu was stunned: "Isn't it? I'm just talking casually, is there really any?"
"Two?" Pei Pei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Yamashita and Inoue are not two people, they are just two surnames of the Chongbang family." This time, the person who came to the natural forest was a guy named Yuhisa Yamashita. ”
"Yuhisa Yamashita?neon man?" said Ganguyu was stunned.
"What neon people?" Pei Pei was confused, "It's all said that it's the Chongbang family, one of the four major magician families." ”
"Chongbang?Four Magician Families?" Gangu Yu was a little messy for a while, how could he have traveled to another world, and still couldn't avoid some long-lost names?
"The Chongbang family is one of several large families that have been passed down thousands of years ago to the present day. Lin Lin patiently explained on the side, "It is said that the predecessor of this family was two small principalities, one is called Chongzhao and the other is called Hanbang. The two countries were originally neighbors with constant disputes, but after peace talks, the two countries became one, called the Chongbang Principality. Later, the Principality of Guangyao peacefully unified the continent and became the current Guangyao Empire, replacing the previous Guangyan Federation, and the nobles of the Principality of Chongbang established the Chongbang family, which continues to this day. ”
"I've heard about this history, and it's even more ridiculous!" Pei Pei interjected, "Do you know why there were constant disputes between Chongzhao and Hanbang at the beginning, and why can they negotiate reunification with peace?"
"Why?" asked Gangu Yu very cooperatively, he was really too interested in the two surnames of Yamashita Inoue.
"Because the nobles of these two principalities claim to be descendants of the god of the sea, and claim that the other is a fake. Pei Pei happily revealed the answer, "Later, the two countries lost both sides of the war, and they had to stop fighting and negotiate peace under internal and external troubles. Sitting at the negotiating table, they first recognized each other's identity as descendants of the sea god. The two sides became compatriots, and then they merged. ”
Gangu Yu's mouth opened slightly, and it took a while before he eased up and asked, "Yamashita and Inoue, are the surnames of those two nobles of the small principality?"
As soon as he finished asking, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, Lin Lin shook her head and replied, "Yamashita and Inoue are the surnames of the Duke and Duchess at the beginning. As for Han Bang, he also left two surnames, because the original duke's surname was Jin and the duchess's surname was Pu. There are four main surnames in the Chongbang family, and they are all outliers among the four major magician families, perhaps because of these historical legacies, the Chongbang family often breaks out some small and small civil strife, and it is really difficult for them to stumble to survive to this day. However, in terms of strength, they are also the weakest of the four major mage families. ”
After listening to this gossip, Gangu Yu only felt a strong sense of immediacy.
