Chapter 12

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Lunch was eaten in Gonzalez's yurt, the largest and most luxurious residence of the titular Grand Duke of Befast, and the lunch was not as good as bread and meat that ordinary people might not eat once a month, but of course, it was not as delicious as that of modern earth.

Seeing Link staring at the plate in front of him with a dishful face, Gonzalez thought it was unappetizing, and hurriedly explained that the diet of the Middle Ages was inferior to that of the modern earth, and asked him to eat some.

"It's not that I can't eat, it's that I'm ...... Woo......" As he spoke, a strong feeling of vomiting welled up in his throat, and Link could only pick up the wooden bowl that he kept at his hand, and poured it into his mouth, regardless of what was inside. As soon as the liquid got into his throat, he regretted it, it was wine. The only thing to be thankful for was that the wine was a wine-like flavor made from fruit, not a high-grade grain wine, so he didn't vomit on the spot while there were still people eating nearby.

"Sorry, Elemental Perception is making me a little dizzy. It wasn't until the discomfort subsided that Link picked up the white bread in front of him and put it in his mouth.

OK...... I have heard that the diet of Europeans in the Middle Ages was known to be unpalatable, and the taste was still acceptable.

I cut a slice of bacon with a knife that can almost be used as a dagger, and it's so salty!

Link, who had no appetite in the first place, didn't want to eat it even more, and his wrinkled appearance caused Gonzalez to laugh, "You'd better get used to life here quickly." The aristocracy was okay and could eat white bread, but the rye bread eaten by ordinary people was hard and rough, similar to a table leg, and the taste was difficult to swallow. ”

From his words, Link could hear something out of the strings.

Is that implying that I won't be here for long?

Henry, the guard sent by Alex to monitor, was on the side, and some words were inconvenient to say, but Link didn't know English or Spanish, and Gonzalez didn't know Chinese, so if you wanted to talk well, you had to go to Dante.

"What about the afternoon?"

"You can choose to go to Dante and continue training. He stayed in his tent to read. As a minor aristocrat, I had a heavy daily workload, horsemanship, combat skills, social etiquette, and basic knowledge...... I don't have time to accompany you in the afternoon. ”

Link was stunned for a moment, then read Gonzalez's expression as he meant. This is obviously a chance to act alone, so he glanced at Henry who was standing beside him.

Knowing what he meant, Gonzalez nodded.

Since it's surveillance. Definitely go where you go.

I'm not familiar with Dante here, and he seems to be more grumpy.

Hurriedly settling lunch, Link heads to Dante's magic tent on the pretext that he wants to continue researching ores.

He didn't expect his front foot to leave, and Alex to arrive on the back foot.

Looking at Gonzalez's unhappy face, the commander, who was nearly a hundred years old, sat down in the place where Link had been.

"I gave him those special treatments for the sake of your face. ”

The knife in his hand was almost pinched and deformed, and Gonzalez took a lot of self-control to keep from saying anything disrespectful.

Alex did this completely to force Link to join the Befast camp, and the other princes would lightly let go of a craftsman who could make strange and sacred objects, not to mention the forces outside of Dawn and Hohenheim. When the time comes, it will be difficult for Link to hide the identity of the Child of Nature in the midst of the alternating battles.

"He's a free man. ”

"Freedom, let's not talk about the years of the princes' rebellion. Just now, without the protection of lords and armies, how many people can survive on their own? Not even you. Don't forget who you are! No matter who you are in the Penal Lands, now you are only my grandson, Gonzalez Menger, the Grand Duke of Befast. With that, Alex brushed his sleeves away.

Gonzalez covered his face with his hands. A deep tiredness and helplessness surrounded him.

It's a very regrettable decision to come here, if I hadn't agreed in the first place. Don't worry about that.

Link, who didn't know what Gonzalez was worried about at the moment, finally got rid of Henry who was following him, as one of the few privileged people in the camp, Dante and Girard's white tent was strictly forbidden for ordinary people to enter and leave. Although Henry was one of the Grand Duke's personal guards, he was not allowed to enter, and could only be clubbed outside the door like a door god.

Compared to Girard's cold, Dante's dwelling was not only hotter. The casual placement of daily necessities also increased the popularity, and it was not only because of the forge, but also because the attitude of the dwarves was very different from that of the mages.

"Do you want to try it?" Dante held up the hammer, and Link chuckled, indicating that he would meditate first.

The dwarf opens the secret door. Let him enter a specially crafted space.

Being able to perceive the elements was a historic leap for Link, and the feeling of being surrounded by countless elements was more real than a fantasy, and Link used the meditation he learned with Girard to feel the world again. Over and over again, he sketched the shape and appearance of the inheritance in his mind, from the cover to the paper, the color and line.

The ability to become a Destiny Treasure is a figurative inheritance, and if it can't even be materialized, let alone regain the power of the Children of Nature.

Minutes and seconds passed, and nothing changed.

Link grew agitated, and even though he could sense the elements, he still couldn't summon the Inheritance.

What's wrong? I no longer resist the fact of crossing, and I also admit the fact that the gods exist, why can't I?

"In order to stimulate the nature of the elements with themselves, many people adopt the method of integration, that is, to integrate their consciousness into nature. The risk of doing so is that if you focus too much, you may not be able to return to the ** and become a spirit of nature. ”

Girard's words were still in his ears, and Link bit his lower lip.

Did I only perceive the elements and not resonate with them, or was there something important I was missing?

Would you like to try what Girard said about integration? Merging consciousness into nature, so that it might be easier to approach Gasos, maybe I could ask him directly, what am I missing?

Link sits on the floor, letting go of his senses, imagining himself as a member of the world, a part of the place.

As his consciousness melted into his surroundings little by little, his perception spread out of the training ground. Beyond the still wrought iron, through the magically enclosed space, he rose into the air to look down on the entire camp, the surrounding scenery was in full view, and the world was no longer a blurry block of light in his eyes. It's like wearing glasses with the correct prescription for myopic eyes with blurred vision, and the feeling of sudden clarity is wonderful. A power greater than perceiving the elements was transmitted, from the ground to the air through brick by stone, through the space created by magic. Gradually, he felt the change. The inheritance imagined in the mind is no longer just a flat surface, it is beginning to have a three-dimensional sense.

The inheritance is within reach, and Link wants to take it out of his consciousness, but he is still a little close, just one step away. No matter how much he stretched his arm, he still couldn't reach it. Suddenly, he remembered Gonzalez's Jianyì, taking a name, and appellation is one of the ways to prove that something exists.

Through the form of a book, Link thought of knowledge. The ability to be embodied comes to mind.

"It's all sorted. The word blurted out, and for a moment, he felt his hand grasp the inheritance, and the heavy pressure felt so real.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a heavy book in my hand, no different in shape and color from the last time I saw it.

Link couldn't hide his excitement. For the first time since coming to the real Edgar, this is the first time that he has held something that can be named 'mine'. Despite Gonzalez's help, these are two different things. It was his first step in taking control of his own destiny.

Flipping through the cover, no surprises. It's all a blank slate. Presumably, like the illusion, the power that must be obtained will manifest itself on it.

Link tried to draw on it with his mind, but nothing was drawn on the blank paper, and after repeating it a few times, his head suddenly ached sharply, and his body became tired. It's like using too much mental power in a fantasy world, and I'm so tired that I don't want to move my fingers.

Are you at the limit of your spirits......

Link walked out of the training ground with the renamed Mori Wan Xiang Heritage, and Dante had stopped striking iron and sat on a low stool next to him to smoke, "I've been urging you many times outside. ”

"How long have I been here?"

The dwarf reached out and gestured two fingers.

Two hours? don't use the ...... Is it two days?

Gonzalez pushed the door open. Seeing Link breathe a sigh of relief: "I've meditated too much, and I don't feel hungry after two days?"

He had gone in and saw Link as if he were asleep, so he didn't bother.

When I meditated, I only thought it was a short while, but I didn't expect that two days later, Link's stomach gurgled very appropriately.

"The result?"

Link held up to Gonzalez, but he said he didn't see anything.

Hasn't it materialized yet? The inheritance was only visible to the children of nature at the beginning.

Link said to himself, don't rush, take your time.

Gonzalez also comforted him that he would slowly recover, and he was born with the Mark of the Chosen Champion of the God of War, and it was only at the age of five or six that he slowly regained his ability in the illusion.

With Gonzalez's help, Link, who was sore and softened, returned to his felt bag in the logistics area, where his gray fabric was now white.

"This is my grandfather's way of showing respect for you, after all, you are the only master of human beings. In front of outsiders, Gonzalez always referred to Alex as his grandfather.

Even the interior decoration has been adjusted, removing useless utensils, adding two cabinets full of books, a large wooden box next to the bed, which contains clean clothes, shoes and socks, even blank writing utensils such as parchment and pen and ink, and the most extravagant is a magic lamp that uses hedron as energy, so you don't have to worry about accidentally overturning and causing a fire. It is a treatment that only nobles can enjoy.

Link finally understood why Gonzalez was worried, and His Excellency the Commander was ostensibly trying to entrap him, but in fact he had sealed off his retreat, the craftsman of Befast. Tsk~ I can't agree if I don't want to.

With Henry on the outside, Gonzalez opened the soundproof barrier.

"Operation Alex means that my plan has succeeded. In the short term, you don't have to worry about your own safety, you can train quietly. Neither the Child of Nature nor the Craftsman can be left behind, I asked Girard, meditation only increases the resonance and phase with the elements, and does not reveal that you are a Child of Nature. He advises you to meditate while you sleep, no, it should be used to meditate while resting. During your meditation, your body is at rest, and you can train and sleep at the same time. Personally, I suggest that you take a few hours a day to train swordsmanship, and although there is no specific spell slot limit here, there is still a limit on the number of spells that can be used by spell operators. Gonzalez said that he couldn't contact Link too often, which would arouse Alex's suspicions, so he could only see each other every once in a while.

Although Henry is Alex's eyeliner, he is a good swordsman, and he is also an expert by the standards of the illusion. You can let him guide the swordsmanship, and when Link slowly adjusts to the battle here, he can slowly regain the feeling in the illusion.

"Are you going to eat something, or get some sleep?"

"Let's have something to eat, I just finished meditating, and I'm not sleepy at all. "Meditation can be a substitute for sleeping. This is another piece of good news after the concretization of the lineage. The meditation just now was very different from the first meditation guided by Girard, the indescribable strange feeling was still in the body, Link put the inheritance on the bed, and the soft bedding was immediately weighed down by the weight of the book into a square imprint.

Gonzalez asks Henry, who is standing guard outside the door, to get a hot soup and cooked food, and when he turns around, he sees this strange phenomenon.

Although invisible, the obvious dent reminded him that there was indeed an object there. Reaching out to touch it, I couldn't touch the real thing, and there seemed to be something blocking it in the air. It's like an enchantment.

"It's a real thing...... Gonzalez withdrew his hand, listening to Link talk about how to destroy the Frost Life Box, and heard him mention the Destiny Treasure with the ability to materialize. Although it is still a state that only Link can see, after all, it is not an imaginary body, it is an object that actually exists, but for some special reasons, ordinary people cannot see it.

Link, on the other hand, is a god who is taller than himself. It's only been a few days, and it's going to be concretized. I think about how many years it took him to do it. Is it a child of nature who is special? Or is this person special?

Henry lifted the curtain, and a small young man came in with a half-baked rabbit. As soon as he smelled the aroma, Link felt even more hungry. But this taste......

"Finn?"

"Hey, hey, it's me. "The youth looked up, and it was Finn who had taken in Link in Old Town of the River Valley.

Realizing that Henry was still there, Gonzalez beat him out, and the rabbit meat was hung up on the fire pit to continue roasting. Finn, who didn't know what to do with the food delivery work, begged Link to let him be a waiter by his side, saying that it was safe here. But there is too much population, the food is not as good as the remote mountain villages, and the most important thing is that it is not free, and it is not allowed to go out at will, even if you want to get some meat, you can't do it. Let him, who is used to eating meat, really greedy, and the father who is so entangled that he can't help it asks someone to find a relationship and let him try his luck.

"No!" Gonzalez refused. Link can't keep anyone around, it's all for the sake of the young man named Finn. Alex will not allow people of unknown origin to casually approach the craftsman who has been so hard to get, and if Link's identity is revealed, everyone around him will be implicated.

Seeing that it was the Grand Duke who spoke, Finn didn't dare to speak, so he could only stare at Link with a pair of expectant eyes.

"If you just want to eat a little better food, you go on delivering food, and I can guarantee that you will be given enough food every time. "I want to come to Alex to control the heavens and the earth, and he won't eat much by himself, but if he has other plans, Link's opinion is also the same as Gonzalez's, "If you rely on me to get ahead or something, I advise you to give up, this is not a shortcut to prosperity, but a dangerous and dangerous road." ”

"Cut~ If you don't agree, forget it, so much nonsense. Being refuted in person, Finn's face was a little uncomfortable, especially since Link was not using Chinese now, but Edgar's lingua franca.

"Finn......" Thinking that the memories of the undead invasion had been replaced, Link temporarily changed his words, "The craftsman is like a scarce resource on the earth, any faction can think of it, if something happens to me, as a waiter, you will be the first to be punished, and even implicate Ronno, you don't want such a thing, right?"

Finn's face changed several times, and he finally nodded. Compared with seeking a fat shortage, it is more important to be a father.

"It's good if you can understand, when I have my ability to recover, I will do something for you, as a life-saving grace. ”

Hearing Link's words, Finn's expression immediately turned cloudy and he left happily, Gonzalez shaking his head again and again.

"You, don't promise so simply. You can't bring the money and materials you got in the illusion, and you're penniless now, and if you ask Alex for it, he'll definitely find out what you've done and who you've given it to. ”

"I only promised to make something for him, and I didn't say that it must be a strange thing, but it is not allowed to be an ordinary item with enchantments?" Tearing off half of a rabbit leg from the iron rack with his bare hands and tasting it, Link decided that he would eat barbecue meat as the main food in the future, and fresh meat with salt and flavor was much better than white bread.

Gonzalez could only envy the dagger he carried with him to cut off a piece of rabbit meat, although he had learned to forge, but he couldn't level up as quickly as in the illusion, and now he was only at the level of a craftsman, and he couldn't be as fearless as Link.

After a sumptuous barbecue feast, Link's attention quickly shifted to three large bookcases on the side, focusing on theology and human geography. He pulled out an ancient book of the Divine Genealogy, which recorded all of Edgar's gods in detail, from the first to the third generation, and even the demigods and sub-gods were listed.

In addition to the known four elements and the two camps of gods, the first gods also had the twin gods of time and space, and the three gods of fate. The latter five barely appeared, and some even speculated that they had fallen.

The second generation has changed a lot after the Rebellion of the Gods, and many of them have returned from exile like the God of Shadows to kill the successor gods who replaced them and re-ascend to the throne. However, the most famous of them are Lorelei, the longest-reigning goddess of magic, and the increasingly fierce Grim Reaper.

The three generations are all subordinate gods of the second generation, and although there are certain believers, the number is far less than that of the second generation. The strongest of the newly promoted group is the former Grand Sage, and scholars with the Seal of Wisdom have access to the city of mages, Hohenheim.

All the gods without exception did not write their names, and Link, who found it boring, put the book back and pulled out the "Big 6 Chronicles", which was more complete and updated than what he had seen at Ronor's house.

Henry, who was standing guard outside, peeked in through the curtain and saw Link sitting on the bed with a book in his hand. (To be continued!)
