At night, the desert turned snow-white, except for one place, which remained its original form surrounded by five flame crystals. This is exactly the campsite of Li Mengxi and his party.

In front of the carriage were two large tents side by side, the left for the girls and the right for the boys.

Inside the girl's tent, near the exit, Barriet Ethis's eyes were still open even as the others were already asleep. What happened at dusk had a big impact on her.

The Mirage Desert is home to two terrifying things, one is the unpredictable sand worms that hide under the sand, and the other is the sand fox wolves that come from all directions.

Unfortunately, when the sun was setting, the two met Barrett at the same time. Probably because the Oasis of Eden was taken over by Phoenix and the monsters' territory was disrupted, the Sand Worms and Sand Fox Wolves became more violent than usual.

In the face of five or six sand worms and dozens of sand fox wolves, if it were a team of civilians, even a warrior of hundreds would be reduced to a dinner for monsters. But in this team, the positions of hunters and prey were reversed in an instant.

Barriet didn't have any other words to describe what her eyes saw than tough. Although they are all humans, nobles are really completely different from commoners, and even Emily, who looks so petite, can easily split a sand fox wolf in half that can only be dealt with by a dozen people.

Especially Li Mengxi, his strength is even more incredible. Barrett couldn't have imagined that someone could kill such a huge sand worm with a single punch with her bare hands.

All this kind of things made Barrett feel an indescribable inferiority complex. She felt that the words she had said before, "to be an adventurer like a nobleman", were like a big joke.

The disillusionment left her in deep trouble, tossing and turning and making it difficult to sleep.

Eventually, Barrett got up from the warm, soft cushion, put on the thick cloak she had prepared for herself, and cautiously stepped out of the tent.

When she came to the outside of the tent, she raised her eyes and looked around, and soon stopped at the fiery red figure sitting on the ground - Li Mengxi.

He has to say that his current appearance is very strange, his legs are crossed, his hands are folded in the place of his lower abdomen, and he is motionless.

Seeing this, Barriet slowly walked over curiously. When she approached a certain distance from behind, Li Mengxi, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly spoke.

"Can't you sleep, Nain. With that, he turned his head.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere froze.

Li Mengxi felt that it was not wrong for Hinata Naine to come to him at this time, so he said such things. However, in fact, it was a wrong guess. In the embarrassment, he was a little disappointed.

Capturing that fleeting expression, Barrett said apologetically, "I'm sorry. ”

"Nope. Li Mengxi smiled. "Why are you apologizing, I guessed wrong. ”

"A little bit of a surprise. Barrett laughed. She thought that this person really had eyes on his back.

"Me too. I noticed that a girl came out, but I didn't expect it to be you. However, after all, I don't have eyes behind my back, so this mistake is also deserved. ”

Uh! The voice of the heart was heard. This person is really powerful!

Barriet couldn't help but think to herself.

"Yes, yes. ”

"Anyway, it's so late, what's the matter?

If you ask a girl directly, of course, it's okay for the party to ask, but the one who is asked is more embarrassed.

"No, it's not. I just can't sleep a little. Saying that, Barriet curled up near Li Mengxi and sat down, "What about you, what were you doing just now?"

"Ah...... That's ......" Li Mengxi laughed embarrassedly, "Meditate." ”

"Meditate, for?"

Since Barrett is interested, and it is not something that cannot be said, Li Mengxi also explained it well.

"In the past, Naine said that when she used magic, she seemed to feel something coming out of her body. I think it's probably a magic setting. ”

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Barriet interjected, puzzled, "It's because humans have magic that they can use magic?"

This sentence made Li Mengxi realize that Barriet is an NPC and not a player, and some of the new discoveries she discovered may be a natural setting for them.

"That's right. But what about martial arts? Both in terms of description and final performance, martial arts are purely physical moves. However, let's say the Piercing skill 'Seven Consecutive Stars'. ”

Li Mengxi said as he made a sword finger gesture with his right hand.

"When you activate a skill, your body will shoot your sword at an incredible speed, so that you can almost stack your sword seven times, but it is impossible to do it without relying on your own ability without relying on your skill. What's the difference between the two? I think there's something like magic, maybe magic. ”

Saying this, Li Mengxi gradually entered a state of thinking.

"Of course, there is a nonsensical part of the game's premise. Especially when it comes to skills. What can be done is what can be done, there is no reason, as is usually the case. But this mysteryworld is different, there is a strict cause and effect here. Magic is made possible by magic, and there is a definite setting for this magic, so ......"

"That!" Barriet saw that Li Mengxi was a little distracted, and couldn't help but shout loudly.

"What!"

"It's rare for you to think so seriously, so it may be a little inappropriate for me to say that. However, the nobles are in some ways more ignorant than us commoners. ”

"Huh?"

"We civilians heard from our parents about magic, magic and martial arts from very young ages. I remember that it seems that people are born with magic, which is the grace of the creation god, and the magic flows out of the body, and the energy resonance with nature will form magic, and the magic will pass away. The magic power only flows in the body and resonates with the human body itself to form a martial art, and the magic power does not have external effects, so it will not form an external magic effect, and it will only make the activities of the human body become beyond the constraints of common sense, and it will not pass. If the magic power is emitted outside the body while moving in the body, it will create a magical effect while causing the body to move abnormally, which is also called a magic technique. ”

"Yes, that's right. Li Mengxi replied with a dry smile. Listening to Barrett say this, I always feel like I'm stupid when I think about it all the time.

"So, what were you doing?" Barriet continued.

"Well, that is...... Feel the magic and try to manipulate it. This is an ancient method that has been passed down in my hometown. ”

Although the luck method in martial arts novels is fictional, there seems to be no other more reliable way.

"It's impossible. "Although the magic flows instinctively when using the three skills, it is impossible to manipulate it out of self-awareness. This is because God has imposed restrictions on humanity in fear of past rebellions. ”

"But how do we learn our skills if we can't control them?"

Li Mengxi asked this question in his own heart, after all, it has nothing to do with the player's acquisition of skills and the use of magic manipulation.

"Read the magical literature that records the skills and get them ......taught from the learners," Barrett replied as she took stock, "and then there will be an epiphany." This is also the favor of the gods. ”

That is, it is exactly the same as the player.

Thinking like this, Li Mengxi couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Hehehe, God or something, it's really unreasonable. ”

Saying this, he couldn't help but ask himself a question in his heart.

What about the reality?

Natural science claims to be the most authoritative, but to this day it has not been able to explain the origin of all things. As a result, most people don't have to blame God for the problem.

In the end, the word "God" alone makes sense for everything, and the explanation itself is so unreasonable. Is this the game not as rigorous as the real world after all, or is it because it completely copies the reality that it is not rigorous?

Everything seems to make sense, but in fact, everything doesn't make sense. Is this the world, or is it reality?

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi smiled slightly, but he was no longer entangled.

"Let's change the subject. Miss Isis, since you didn't wake up so late to go to the bathroom, what did you do it for?

Returning to the question of why she didn't sleep in the middle of the night, Barriet immediately showed a sad expression.

"It's just that I can't sleep. ”

"Is something wrong?"

"Mr. Li Mengxi, I have a dream. I wanted to be an adventurer like everyone else, like the aristocracy. But sure enough, I still can't compare, you are so strong, but I am so weak. ”

In saying this, Barriet recalls the scene on the first day she and Igarashi Suke met, and the latter said that "dignity is something that only the strong are qualified to talk about, and the weak can only feel fear in the midst of ravage."

Once again, she confirmed how weak she was, weak and weak. It is precisely because of his weakness that he can only let Phoenix drag the village into disaster. It is precisely because of weakness that I can only entrust my fate to others. It is precisely because of weakness that dreams gradually come to naught.

"Because of my weakness, I can't even get that guy to call me by my name!" Barriet roared loudly, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.

I remember a scientist laughing and saying that robots that laugh like humans are not humans, and that robots should be identified as the same as humans, unless they can cry like humans.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Mengxi completely forgot that Barriet was an NPC. Watching her cry made me feel uncomfortable. However, he didn't know what he was supposed to do, what would he do if it was Nain?

In hesitation, he tried to speak.

"Isn't it too early to give up before you have tried?"

Barrett's sobs stopped abruptly, and she looked up at Li Mengxi in disbelief.

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back. ”

"Hahaha...... Probably. However, we weren't that strong from the beginning. Many nobles, when they first walked out of the city of early leaves, they could even catch a rabbit on their backs. ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

"Are you too?"

"Uh...... My words are a little different. ”

"Look, that's not the case!"

"A soft-footed shrimp like you who can only sit in place and cry, not to mention the general, is of course that even a little toe of mine can't catch up. ”

Suddenly, a third person's voice rang out behind the two of them. Hearing this, the two of them naturally turned around, and what they saw in front of them was Igarashi Suke, who had come to keep vigil in shifts.

Angry and angry, Barriet got up angrily and yelled at him.

"Sure enough, it's you kind guy again!"

"Hmph!" Igarashi sneered, "barking like a mourning dog." ”

"You!" shouted angrily, and Barriet pulled her dagger from her waist. "I can't be bullied at any time!"

"What?"

"What's going on?"

The loud shouting finally caused everyone to quarrel one after another, and a figure in the two tents walked out one after another. Everyone was confused by the scene in front of them.

At this moment, with a "sonorous sound", Igarashi Suke pulled out the "Black Steel Section" with an excited smile.

"Since you say so, let me see what you're capable of?"

"Quack. Barriet gritted her silver teeth in anger, and then rushed straight forward with a loud shout. Igarashi also waved the Japanese sword without any emotion, he naturally didn't plan to kill Barrett, but he was happy to teach her a lesson.

At the last moment, "Dangdang" sounded twice, and everyone was stunned, and Hinata Nain even raised her heart to her throat.

Li Mengxi actually inserted between the sword lights, clamped Barrett's dagger with one hand, and Igarashi's blade with the other, stopping the conflict between the two people at hand.

This move is "empty-handed into the white blade", which is the same high-end skill as "Deflection", "Device Lock" and "Broken Blade", and it makes it so easy and beautiful.

"Yes, General. Igarashi couldn't help but admire. That's what other people think at this time.

After a brief stalemate, Li Mengxi let go of his hands. So, Igarashi put away his long knife, and Barrett lowered her dagger.

Immediately, Li Mengxi faced Balit with a smile.

"As Igarashi said, while it's a shame to say that, you're far from being his opponent. But since Miss Isis has such courage, should you pick a weaker target first?"

"Huh?" the unwillingness on Barrett's face immediately turned into confusion, "A weaker target?"

"Yes, whether you succeed or not, how about working towards your goal first? Although you are still far behind, my teacher also said that the farther you are, the greater the progress. In that case, let's try it out, it's rare to have this power, don't waste it casually. ”
