Chapter 19: Bloodline
When the setting sun casts a fiery red glow in the sky, the long day is finally over.
Fans from far and wide dispersed from the four gates of the training camp to the streets of Muni City. As we walked, we were talking about what we had seen and heard today.
The crowds of people in the fiery red glow and the endless laughter and laughter make this ancient city seem peaceful and full of life.
On this year's admission day, the three major training camps all broke out with surprising news.
The second and third camps still maintained their leading position in the academy's admissions. The appearance of far more orange and purple gifted students than in previous years not only made the academy and its fans overjoyed, but also caused a sensation in the entire city of Muni.
It is conceivable that this will be a hot topic for a long time to come.
Lulian has never been a place rich in knights. This province is famous for its port trade, fishing, and the Warcraft Mountains within its borders, and most of them are merchants and mercenaries. The level of armament and combat effectiveness of both the lord and the garrison ranks low among the major provinces of the empire.
Similarly, in the branch of the training camp, the quality of the trainees in the Lulian branch is not high. Over the years, the number of trainees sent to the Imperial Capital General Camp has been the smallest. In inter-academy competitions, the top 10 finishers from the Lulian division are often wiped out after one round.
This is the most lost place for all the Lurians. While within Lulian there is a tendency for people to fight over the training camps they support and to be proud of a certain star cadet, when it comes to Lulian and other provinces, everyone is silent.
And this year, a large number of orange and purple gifted cadets appeared. It gave people a sudden rise to hope. Only then did everyone find out that Lulian still had such a deep foundation.
It's just that in the past, these people were sunk in the aristocratic families in remote areas, in the mountains and in the vast sea of people, and they were not excavated. It was the outbreak of war that caused a large number of nobles to lose their territories and a large number of commoners to lose their homes, forcing them to embark on the path of knighthood.
War is the stage of knights. Heroes come out of troubled times, these old sayings are not wrong at all!
In this year's admission day, although the first training camp failed to make a comeback in the competition for students, the sensation of the topic far overshadowed the limelight of the other two training camps.
Whether it's a trainee infighting or fighting...... The conflict between Dean Gustas and Vice Dean Diarra....... the arrival of Philip of the Red Leaf Knights and the Archduke's henchman Karn....... the exposure of Nicole's team's rescue of Philip or the appearance of the "seven-colored talent" that makes people laugh bitterly. are all talked about by people.
Compared to the peaceful entrance days of the other two camps, the entrance day of the first camp was more like a big drama, full of all kinds of dramatic conflicts. Just digging into the gossip behind these conflicts is enough for people to talk about the academy competition three months later.
And in terms of results, the first training camp is not bad. This year, they were given seven orange talents and one purple talent. This result is not only the best result of the first training camp in the past 20 years, but also surpasses the results of the other two training camps in previous years.
The only regret for everyone. It was the young magician who had been rumored to be in the uproar before this, and he did not appear in any of the examination rooms of the three major training camps.
As Lurians, they were desperate for such a genius to appear. As long as he represents Loulian, no matter what camp he is in, everyone will be his most loyal supporter!
The crowd dispersed, and the students and candidates also went home after completing a series of admission procedures, waiting for the official start of school tomorrow.
Anne was admitted to the Academy's S Brigade. Her talent is green. It's just a little bit away from orange. Ranked in the top 50 of this year's candidates. Coupled with some off-the-field work that his brother Rice had put in long before the exam, he finally got his wish.
The two sisters, Ling Shuang and Ling Xue, were admitted to the A team.
Their talents are also all green, ranking in the top 70s, and they are only one step away from the S team. This result made her mother Judy happy and regretful. Nagging in front of the neighbors for a long time. The joyful whining can be heard across the street.
Unsurprisingly, Team Nicole won the first year spring trial championship. Their prize was a four-star suit of armor per person. Three thousand Tower of Fantasy points and ten additional credits. ..., of course, these awards from the academy were nothing compared to the glory that Grand Duke Adolf had personally registered for them in the knights' hall. And Philip's private gift and promise to accept them to join the Red Leaf Knights in the future made many students jealous and their eyes reddened.
However, this did not improve Nicole's status and situation in the academy. In fact. Their lives are even more difficult now.
None of the aristocratic cadets could tolerate these few commoner cadets who rode on their heads and dared to do something to Quincy and the others. What Nicole and the others did was a stern provocation to their prestige and status in the academy.
The children of the nobility did not want to offend Philip, nor did they want to cause trouble for their own family. But that doesn't mean they don't have the means to retaliate. You know, although this is an academy, it is also a small society. Here, they are the ones who dominate.
As soon as Philip and Karn left, the academy's student groups blacklisted Nicole and the other six at the behest of the noble cadets. Collectively, they declared that it was strictly forbidden for any students attached to the group to talk to Nicole and the others. The offender will be regarded as hostile by them.
This statement immediately turned Nicole and them into a plague that everyone avoided. Even those friends who are good friends on weekdays choose to avoid under the cold eyes of the children of the nobility.
After all, Nicole and they still have Philip's backing, and the nobles don't dare to retaliate directly. But for others, they don't have so many scruples. Fighting them at this time is tantamount to directing their anger that they have nowhere to vent directly to themselves.
For ordinary students who have no power and no power, this is a disaster!
The only one who ignores this regulation may be Tang Xiaoben.
Tang Xiaoben's family originally had some background. In addition, he is now a big celebrity in the academy, and the darling in the eyes of the academy teaching, therefore. I don't eat this set of aristocratic students at all. hooked shoulders with Luke, Meng Meng, Eric and others, and fought hotly.
The children of the nobility couldn't understand Tang Xiaoben's behavior at all.
Only Tang Xiaoben himself, Nicole and others know that they can become friends only because they all know the same person.
That's the figure they can't do without today's scenery.
That's a guy who wasn't destined to be ordinary.
Tang Xiaoben looked at the playground, which seemed a little empty and silent after the crowd dispersed, and turned his head to a row of new friends who were lying on the rooftop in a daze.
"You say, that guy came to our academy. Is it a happy event or a disaster?"
...................
...................
It was dark, and the small building of the manor was brightly lit and full of people.
Everyone was raising their glasses excitedly. Celebrate the entrance exam to Roytong Guò and take the most solid step on the road to knighthood.
Half-drunk, Roy left the room and walked alone into the grove of the manor.
The servants along the way saluted him respectfully, and after watching his back go away, they gathered together and whispered excitedly.
Everyone knows that the young new owner has been admitted to the knight training camp. It can be said that one foot has stepped into the ranks of the nobility. For these servants whose personal value is completely dependent on their masters. It's a great event.
The higher the status, the greater the power, and the greater the wealth of the master, the better their life as servants will be. The more hopeful the days are.
If the young manor lord can become a knight, and then become a baron, a viscount, and an earl....... when everyone goes out again, the nearby manor servants will look at him. It has to be envious and respectful!
The good thing for the singles is that the women in the neighborhood will rush to marry them just to get into the estate. For those who have a family, the advantage is that life at home will be better, they will be able to talk more, and their children will have more room to grow in the future.
If there are one or two boys with a little talent who are favored by the master, support them. That's a big deal. Their whole family can follow suit. You know, many lords used to be just retainers of a great noble!
The longing of the servants, Roy naturally did not know.
He walked into the woods with a heavy heart, walked to a secluded little waterhole with moonlight and fallen leaves, and stopped under a huge banyan tree.
"Not happy?" the dwarven axe spirit appeared on the large branch beside Roy. The transparent figure glows blue in the moonlight. Roy leaned against the trunk of the tree, looked up at the magic moon in the sky, and shook his head.
"Is it because of today's test?" the axe spirit said lightly, shaking his two small short legs. After spending so much time with Roy, no one knew better than him what was going on in the mind of this kid who didn't seem to care about anything.
"You know," Roy said with a frown, a little frustrated, kicking his leg a little frustratedly, and sitting on a branch in the air, frowning, "I didn't cheat on that last test. ”
The dwarf axe spirit held the back of his head, floated in the air and lay flat, and said with a smile: "Since you didn't cheat, then why do you care so much?"
"You're happy to be wronged?" Roy rolled his eyes. Kameni originally felt that he was not fit to be a knight, and coupled with today's events, his impression was naturally even worse. fell into his hands, and his future life will obviously not be easy.
Scratching his hair, Roy remembered the previous quiz and was a little confused: "Axe Spirit, what did you say was going on at that time?"
"That's your talent. The dwarf said lightly.
Roy's eyes widened and he pointed to his nose, "My... Talent?"
"You can't believe it yourself, and you expect others to believe you?" the dwarf tilted his head and glanced at Roy with disdain.
Roy stretched out his hand and looked at his fist in the cold moonlight, a little dazed for a moment.
"Scared?" asked the dwarven axe.
Roy nodded dumbfoundedly. No matter how arrogant he was, he never thought that he would be a seven-color talent. When he punched out the seven-color results, he really thought that something was wrong with the puppet. I just thought that I didn't cheat, but I didn't expect that it was really my talent.
"How is this possible?" Roy was a little dumbfounded.
"How is it impossible?" said the dwarf, "think about it, is there anyone in this world who knows what talent is better than you?"
Talent. It's a word that has been said on people's lips for hundreds of years. People say that this person is talented, and that person is not. Use talent to explain why some people can do certain things while others can't do the same thing.
In the literal sense of the word, talent is innate aptitude and talent. Those who have it have unlimited possibilities for growth. Without it, those who do not have it can only be isolated from the world they yearn for, and live a life of mediocrity and inaction.
Especially on the path of cultivation, it pays more attention to talent. Whether it's a knight or a magician. If they don't have the qualifications to cultivate, then, no matter how hard they try, it will only be a bamboo basket after all.
It's a sadness.
In the lives of people who are not gifted, the word is like a spell. Separate their world from everyone else. But they have endured this desperate pain, but they don't even know what talent is.
Only Roy knows!
He has lost his talent for fighting spirit since he was a child, and he used to be more desperate than anyone else. Ordinary people can still cultivate a little bit of fighting qi, but at that time, he didn't even have the qualifications to cultivate. No amount of exercise could leave a single source force in his body.
Cultivate, dissipate, cultivate, dissipate.
Roy understands the pain of not being gifted better than anyone else. He hates the curse of talent more than anyone else.
And now, although he still could not understand the secrets of man's talents in such fields as art, business, communication, and other fields, he could determine where the cultivation talent for vindictive spirit and magic came from—that is, the life pattern given to life by the Creator!
In fact, in the human body, magic patterns are everywhere.
The simplest example is eating. From the time the food enters the mouth, to digestion and absorption, it becomes a nutrient supply to all parts of the human body. It becomes the invisible energy needed for people's activities, and the whole system is a complete magic pattern system.
The same is true for the cultivation of fighting spirit and magic. It's just that what enters the body is not food, but the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and what is produced is not nutrition, but the source power and magic power of fighting qi.
It was a god's forbidden area.
Roy didn't know if anyone before him had ever touched the mystery of the Pattern of Life. But in this era of the decline of magical civilization, in the land of redemption where human beings were exiled, he inadvertently discovered the life demon pattern and restored his talent for fighting qi cultivation!
Roy fell silent. Thinking about it carefully, he found that he was indeed different from others in terms of talent. Especially in the body. The "magic core" obtained from the mysterious power of judgment gives him a unique ability. ...,
The fighting spirit of others is to cultivate and transform the spiritual power of heaven and earth into source power. These source forces, according to their different strengths, are stored in the upper, middle and lower three Douqi Nebulae. The first nebula in the lower abdomen is the source of the power of a junior cultivator.
When a cultivator stimulates Dou Qi, the source power turns into Dou Qi, filling the meridians and flesh and blood, and increasing strength. And once the strength of the fighting spirit exceeds the critical point, it can penetrate the body and produce a battle ring. The fighting spirit is released and communicates with the weather and the ground, producing greater power.
The magic of the mage is a different system. Mana cannot increase the power of **, nor can it be used directly to launch attacks. Its function is to control the elements in nature, so that they form an elemental array, thus releasing magic.
Dou Qi is Dou Qi and Magic Power is Magic Power, and there is an essential difference between these two different forces. No matter how rich the imagination is, I am afraid that I never thought that these two forces could be combined into one.
However, in one's own body, vindictive energy and magic are one form!
Thinking of this, Roy calmed down, made a decision, activated the battle ring, and at the same time closed his eyes and used internal vision to observe the "magic core" in his lower abdomen.
A whirlpool, quietly stored in the lower dantian.
Here, it was originally the location of the first nebula of ordinary people's fighting power, but now, it is occupied by this "magic core".
The energy in the demon core is the most primordial energy of heaven and earth. It is also the spiritual power of heaven and earth that human beings cannot do without when cultivating fighting qi or magic.
When you are a magician, these energies are the purest forms of magic, which you can use to capture the elements of nature and arrange them in arrays to unleash powerful magic.
And when he is a knight, these energies are the source of fighting energy, through the guò meridians of the life magic pattern, it can fill the bones and flesh in the form of fighting energy, stimulate the battle ring, and communicate with heaven and earth.
That is to say......
Roy suddenly remembered the punch he threw at the puppet.
If the puppet tests attack power, then. Obviously, I can't get any high scores. After all, his fighting spirit has only just passed the first level, and his attack power is very limited.
However, the puppet tests the talent.
That means that when he throws that punch, the puppet feels not only his own fighting energy, but also all the energy contained in his body.
And these energies contain the huge magic power of being a five-star Langxing mage!
His own vindictiveness is weak. Weak in the exercises, weak in the endurance of the meridians, weak in the ability to release fighting energy. It's like a bottle with a thin mouth, no matter how big the belly of the bottle is, no matter how much water it contains. It is also limited by the mouth of the bottle and cannot be poured out completely.
But that energy itself exists.
This is also the reason why he has just recovered his Dou Qi talent, and he has five layers of Dou Qi. In one's own body, the "source power" of fighting qi and magic is originally one!
Then, when the puppet detects its own source power with its own attack, the talent test level it gives will naturally be high. To know. What it is facing is the spiritual power of heaven and earth that it and the judgment have frantically absorbed for more than a year!
One more point, is the Magic Pattern of Life!
It's called talent!
Whether the countless meridians in people's bodies are unblocked, whether the unblocked parts can form a complete life pattern, whether there is enough strength to carry the fighting spirit, and which kind of natural element is suitable for the life pattern formed by the unblocked part all determine people's talents.
Everyone's talent is different, and some people are born with no blood. Some meridians are unblocked, some people's meridian magic patterns are suitable for gathering water elements, and they have a natural affinity for water magic, and some people's meridian magic patterns are twice the result with half the effort when cultivating fire fighting qi.
And ....... themselves
Roy opened his eyes.
Judging from the information in the necklace left by Grandpa William, since he was born, he has been a talent for demonic and martial arts dual cultivation. In addition to the magical blood that his mother brought to him, he has it in his body. There is also the knightly bloodline of the [Hanshan] family!
It was a knight who had been fighting demons for three hundred years in faraway Farrington.
They have black hair and black eyes. They are the natural knights who have written countless legends in the Hundred Years of Human and Demon Wars, and they have inherited the bloodline of their ancestors and ancestors in the easternmost part of the continent, and they have the power that even the demons fear
Right now. This blood from the Eastern Knight was surging in his body..., and when he found the life pattern in a desperate situation, cut the skin and muscles with a knife again and again, and cast healing spells on his body, he not only restored this ancient bloodline, but also unconsciously completed the entire life pattern.
After all, at that time, I didn't know what I was like, and I was completely treating myself according to the most perfect human body magic pattern.
This bloodline, this magic pattern, plus the "magic core" given to him by the ruling, what is so strange about the seven-color talent?
Thinking of this, Roy had a smile on his face.
Seeing Roy's appearance, the dwarf axe spirit couldn't help but roll his eyes.
has been with Roy for a long time, and he knows better than anyone the nature of this kid's outward and internal traitor. Once he had that smile on his face, someone was going to be out of luck.
This kid is wilted, sullen, and not honest at all!
During the day, when he didn't know his talent, he still dared to fight with the children of the nobility, and he was against that vice president, and now that he knows his talent, I am afraid that he will be even more unscrupulous in the future. That's his character, like a monster that has broken into the human world, and he can't hide it anymore.
Although the dwarf axe spirit is not a bright brain, he still has the ability to see people.
He didn't know about anyone else, but he was sure that when the dean named Gustas knew about Roy's talent, he was definitely Roy's most unsparing supporter and protector.
That old fellow, love is like life!
..................
..................
"Dean," a few handymen asked, moving a puppet to Gustas's office, "where is this one?"
In Gustas's office, there are already two puppets. Those two were brought directly from the hall where the knight exams were conducted during the day, and were said to be broken. And this one was moved from another training room.
Each puppet weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and even if they were handymen in the academy, they were tired enough.
I don't know how long it will be before the dean, who will abdicate to make way for Xian, what is he doing with all these things in the office?
"Put it here. Gustas motioned for the group to place the puppet between the two broken puppets, waved his hand, and said, "Go out." ”
The handymen bowed and left with a sigh of relief.
The handyman at the end of the door was closing the door when he saw Gustas thoughtfully walk up to the puppet they had moved in at the end and circle around the puppet several times. With his hand, gently stroked. Several magic shields appear on the puppet.
The faint light illuminated Gustas's obsessive, suppressed eyes of joy
