Chapter XI

The fog is a little thicker than yesterday, and in a few days the fog will be completely locking the island again.

Canglan got up and made a weapon as usual. Then we set off for Mercarin's quarters.

Mercarin's house is not big, and the flowers around it are full of all kinds of colors, but they are surprisingly not cluttered, and the varieties are arranged in a staggered manner, and you will smell a fragrance when you walk around.

Canglan had no intention of admiring the flowers, so he knocked on the door and waited until he was promised and entered the house.

Mercarin was sitting on a chair arranging flowers. She looked at the vicissitudes for a few seconds and sighed slightly, "Do you know the flowers on the other side?"

The legend of the flower on the other side is still heard, the flower of death. When he knew that the magic was called the other side, he thought that the two might have some kind of relationship.

"Yes. ”

"The flower on the other side is the tenderness of the devil. Do you know the devil?" Mercarin put down the flower in her hand, walked in front of Canglan, reached out and wanted to touch Canglan's face, but felt that it was inappropriate, and withdrew her hand.

Seeing Mekarin's hand stretched out, Canglan's nervous breathing stopped. Although Mekarin is old enough to be a vicissitudes mother, her suffocating beauty has not been reduced by half a point because of the years.

Mercarin walked out the window and looked at a tree by the window, "Do you know why trees can grow so tall?"

The succession of questions puzzled Canglan, but he still replied, "Because trees have roots." ”

Merkarin smiled, and it was heartfelt.

"Yes, they have roots that hold themselves in there, growing in one direction all the time. At the same time, the magic is the same. Your other side grows unchecked, so you can't control it. ”

Canglan could understand what Mekarin was saying, but he didn't know exactly what to do, "So what should I do?"

"I'll teach you a magic circle to restrain your magic. But before you do that, you can use the other side to show me. ”

Canglan was a little embarrassed, "I don't know how to use the other side, every time it appears so inexplicably, I can't feel its existence, and I can't control it." ”

"Since the magic belongs to you, you can use it whenever you want. "Close your eyes." Feel the magic in your body and find out where the other side is. ”

Canglan closed his eyes, the world turned black, the magic in his body became clear, and the colorful magic in his body flowed in his body against the black background, soft, and a little lazy. This magic flowed all over his body, and Canglan followed the trajectory of the magic flow to explore every corner of his body, but the other side never appeared.

Canglan opened his eyes.

"No, I can't find it. ”

"If you want to control it, you have to know what it is and where it is. I'll teach you the circle now, you use your own magic to engrave, and when you find the other side, you can learn to use the other side to inscribe. ”

The study of the circle is extremely complicated, and it is very difficult to memorize the circle. After remembering, inscription is an extremely difficult task, and it is not easy to guide the flow of magic in the body, let alone use magic to inscribe the magic circle. Someone has lost their lives because of it.

Throughout the day, Canglan spent the whole day remembering the circle in Mercarin's home. But that magic circle was too complicated, and in the evening, Canglan completely remembered this magic circle. After that, Canglan also tried to engrave it once, during which he felt extremely uncomfortable, but fortunately, Mercarin used magic to help, and finally succeeded.

The circle under his feet was exceptionally bright.

"If you can successfully inscribe it in one day, you are still quite talented, and you will have to practice every day in the future, and the weaker the luster of this circle, the stronger it is, and you are still far behind. ”

"What's this circle called?" Canglan asked.

Mercarin thought for a moment, "The circle belongs to you now, and the previous name doesn't matter. I'll help you build another one, let's call it Flower Remains. ”

"Flower remains. ”

Canglan recited it a few times and wrote it down.

Merkarin didn't say that the real name of this circle was Senluo.

The next day, Canglan went to Mercarin's house again. Mercarin let Canglan continue to look for the other side. And let Canglan change a few more methods. So Canglan began to focus on the colorful magic, trying to explore the secret. He had wondered yesterday if the other side was hidden in this colorful magic.

Canglan saw the colorful world, they transformed into various colored flowers, landscapes, around Canglan, just when Canglan was immersed in it, all this began to change. The flowers withered, the beautiful scenery disappeared in an instant, and it became a prison on earth, and corpses were everywhere.

Canglan opened his eyes violently and gasped for air.

"What's wrong?" Mecarin was also a little strange.

"I saw that all the flowers were withered, and there were many, many corpses. ”

Merkarin pondered, and then said, "Stop and continue practicing the circle." ”

After saying that, Mercarin went into the bedroom, and Canglan practiced the circle outside.

This magic circle is very peculiar, unlike the sword casting magic circle handed over to Canglan by Luo Yao, the flower skeleton inscription requires less magic power, and it will always be there after the inscription is completed, and it will not continue to consume magic power, even if Canglan has practiced many times, his magic power has never seemed to decrease. Moreover, once this magic circle appeared, Canglan felt that the magic power in his body became easier to control.

Canglan was practicing the inscription circle over and over again outside the house, while Mercarin was sitting in her bedroom, plucking the petals of a flower, still reciting something in her mouth.

After practicing the circle in the morning, Mercarin asked Canglan to come back the next day. Canglan is ready to spend the afternoon building a new sword for himself.

After entering the workshop, Canglan carefully selected the materials left by the master, and chose a piece of cold iron ore and fire ore. Cold iron ore is a relatively rare metal ore, with excellent materials, and the biggest advantage is that the loss of magic power is low. And fire ore is a very general fire attribute ore. Originally, I thought that the master would leave some better ore for himself, but Canglan searched all over the workshop and only found this.

The most important thing in the casting of fire attribute weapons is the choice of quenching liquid, if you use ordinary quenching liquid, then the weapon created by casting not only consumes a lot of mana, but also has a very average power. Canglan found a bottle of liquid from the workshop. This is an igneous liquid, and although it is a liquid, it can easily burn the human body. Canglan poured some igneous liquid into the original quenching liquid, and the quenching liquid began to boil, and then returned to calm.

After making all the preparations, Canglan began to forge the sword. The work ahead is in order, but there will be a lot of flames splashing out during the forging, and the vicissitudes must be paid attention to at any time. Soon, the shape of the sword came out, Canglan put the sword body into the furnace to heat, the sword body quickly became scorching, Canglan pulled out the sword and slammed it into the quenching liquid, the originally calm quenching liquid was ignited in an instant, Canglan used magic to protect himself from being burned, after a while, the flames subsided, Canglan took out the long sword, the long sword faintly revealed a red luster, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile.

At night, Canglan finally completed the sword. Canglan picked up the sword, and then the magic power poured from his body into the sword, and the long sword suddenly began to burn, as if it was about to burn the sword to ashes.

During the sword-forging period, he also ran to join in the fun.

"Come up with a name. Looking at this grand occasion, he quickly proposed.

"This is a very ordinary sword. Canglan stopped the mana transmission, and the long sword returned to its original form.

He didn't care what Canglan said, and continued: "It's called the Fire Sword, it's simple and easy to understand. ”

Canglan was speechless, but also acquiesced to this statement, and then he saw the iron sword behind him, and then thought of something.

"Are you going to change your sword? I'm free all this time, and I have enough materials, I can make a good sword for you. ”

Since Canglan first came to the Cape of the Sea, he has been using this sword, if this is a good sword, Canglan is understandable, but this is an iron sword that is too ordinary to be ordinary.

"Forget it, Dad doesn't allow it, saying that the sword is familiar with it and has feelings, for those of us who can only rely on sword skills, the sword is like a part of our own body, and it can't be easily replaced. ”

Canglan realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and immediately changed the subject.

Most people have magical powers, but some people don't, and illness is one of them. From the beginning of his illness, he knew that he had no magic power, and he also knew that his father had no magic power, and his father was also a famous swordsman on the mainland. Therefore, he never felt inferior, until he went to the royal city.

The Yao Ling Academy is full of people with magical power except for illness, and it is no wonder that here, people without magical power are rare. Magic is like a part of the human body, and if it doesn't, it's a disability.

The people in the academy are arrogant and point fingers at the disease. They didn't know who he was, and he didn't say who his father was, and he knew it was pointless. He didn't care about the words of those people, but he still had a little unwillingness in his heart, and he turned this unwillingness into motivation in order to prove himself to the world.

"Hello, my name is Gu Xinghe. ”

On the third day after the master left, Gu Xinghe came again.

"Boss Gu, is there something wrong? ”

Gu Xinghe looked very happy.

"The little brother is the apprentice of Luo Yao's master, right? Gu Xinghe said, "My son Gu Xin is also a swordsmith, maybe you will become good friends." ”

Canglan didn't speak, wanting to see what medicine was sold in Gu Xinghe's gourd.

"Our Gu family is now in need of a young swordsmith like you, why don't you come to our Gu family with a little brother!"

Luo Yao reminded Canglan to pay attention to Gu Xinghe when he left, but he didn't expect Gu Xinghe to be so obvious.

"Thank you, but I still need more experience. ”

Seeing Canglan's refusal, Gu Xinghe didn't continue to say anything, and the last time he was in a hurry, the conversation with Luo Yao broke up unhappily. However, he didn't have much hope for himself, Luo Yao's stinky temper and stubbornness were famous. But after he saw the vicissitudes, he had some new ideas.

"The little brother of the Yao Ling Festival must participate, as long as you join our Gu family, whether it is ore or place, we can provide you with the best. ”

Such conditions were indeed tempting, but Canglan knew that he could not agree. "For swordsmiths, the process of gathering materials is also very important. And if I joined the Gu family without the master's consent, the master may blame me, but even so, I can still be good friends with the ancient letter. ”

"In that case, I won't force it. ”

Gu Xinghe was already very displeased, but he didn't show it too much, he knew that Canglan was different from Luo Yao, and he still had a chance.

After a few days, Gu Xinghe never came again, and by this time the fog was about to close the island, and there were not many ships left in the port.

Since the island does not accept guests to stay overnight on the island, everyone is required to leave at this time. During this time, there was also a farce. Several guests ignored the rules and tried to break into the back mountain, but all of them were stopped. But they explained that it was a girl who made them do it.

When the guards found the girl, she denied it. There was no evidence for those people, and there were no serious consequences, so the matter was finally closed.

Time passed quickly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Mekarin didn't teach Canglan anything new, but only instructed Canglan to inscribe the flower remains. The rest of the time, Canglan was spent practicing sword forging and looking for the other side. Occasionally, he will teach Canglan a few swordsmanship.

In terms of sword casting, Canglan can already skillfully use the Tiangong Casting Sword, but the magic circle of Tiangong is extremely complex, and Canglan has only mastered part of it. The flower remains can now be engraved in an instant, and the luster is also very light. But there was no improvement in the search for the other side.

The good news is that after more than a month of practice, Canglan's tolerance ceiling for the other side has been much higher. And because of the flower remains, the utilization rate of mana has been greatly improved, and even if the Tiangong Forge Sword is used continuously, the phenomenon of mana depletion rarely occurs in Canglan.

In this way, before I knew it, the fog dispersed again. The port once again docked a lot of ships, Canglan knows,

I should have left.
