Chapter 14: Where the Knot Is Located

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

In Dante's chamber, Link tries to summon the Sen Luo that he has placed in his tent. It took a while for the Destiny Phantasm, which had been given a new name, to appear in his hand.

Link wiped away the sweat from his head, it was so hard to summon it, and it seemed that it would take a long time to regain his divine power to use his divine power as freely as he did in the illusion.

Loosening your hand and holding a book in the air with your mind is something that used to be very convenient and simple, but now it is very difficult to do it with 'thinking'. Link focused all his energy on this, and he only hoped that Frost would have some time to adapt and train. The idea was entirely influenced by the conversations of the soldiers on the way, and the scouts, the caravans, and even the regular cavalry who had gone to find them disappeared one after another, and only the undead could do it in the foreword position, which could be flooded by the sea at any moment.

Following the fixed lineage, turning the pages of the book in the air, Link tried to turn the invisible element into the tangible. Identify the elements that can be sensed one by one, and then select wind as the key element of training. The reason for this choice is that only Gathos has responded to him in the True Edgar, and Link guesses that his current phase with the wind element should be the best of the four elements, otherwise he would not have been aware of the invisible change of wind in the moment of induction. The water element with the worst degree of phase is the water element, and the earth element, which was originally the highest in the illusion realm, may be due to erosion, and it is still behind the fire element in terms of perception.

Through guò's spiritual sense, the wind elemental scattered in the air converged towards Link, and Link, who felt that his whole body was enveloped, had a plan - to let the wind elemental move with him. This was inspired by the skill [Swift Wind]. Wind symbolizes degree, the element is change, and the attribute is agility, which is the best element for movement from any point of view.

After receiving Link's request, the Wind Elemental moved him from one end of the chamber to the other. degree fast. Landing steadily, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is like appearing out of thin air.

Originally, I just wanted to test it, but I didn't expect it to be successful. Link was excited and wondered if he had thought wrong from the beginning? The 'skills' in the illusion only represent the abilities of the children of nature, and they don't have to be used or used to be effective, especially those passive abilities.

For verification. He gathered the wind elemental in his hands and pushed towards the solid wall.

After the terrifying scraping sound, the wall in the background of the starry sky was twisted by the wind elemental more than a dozen long strips, and the damaged place revealed a rock-like texture, Link touched it curiously, and it was still slightly hot. Then, an amazing scene was born, and the destroyed wall was like a large piece of memory metal that had reverted to its own flat shape, so smooth that no breaches could be felt. The background of the starry sky, which had disappeared because of the destruction, also reappeared, as if nothing had been born.

The inquisitive Link used the wind element to break the wall again, and after about a minute, it was back to its original state.

This isn't something Dante can do, it's more about magic...... No, it should be the law of cause and effect. No matter how it is destroyed, it can be restored to a certain state. Master's Words...... Link's first thought was Girard, who had a similar tent. But Link sensed that his magic tent was far inferior to Dante's, more than just the size of the space. This 'feeling' is close to intuition. It must have been the work of a more powerful mage.

For a split second, Bray's name flashed through Link's mind.

It is very likely that Dante in the illusion said that the defense measures of Longyan Fort were precisely set up by Bray himself, so the successive commanders did not worry about orcs or other creatures attacking the fortress from underground.

It doesn't matter who makes the zuò, it's a good thing anyway. At least he doesn't have to worry about damaging the training ground.

Repeatedly testing the wind elemental's attack power, range, and degree against several walls, Link gave this move a more common name, Wind Blade. The manipulation and use of the elements was extremely mentally demanding, and in less than an hour, he could no longer cast the Wind Blade. Link leaves the chamber. Dwarf Dante, still sweating and swinging his hammer, felt a little strange and leaned over to ask.

"Why don't you use soul forging, isn't that easier and quicker to shape?"

Dante stopped and looked back at Link, his expression was a little unhappy, "It seems that you really lost your brain when you crossed the plane, although soul forging relies on the strength of the soul, but each forging will consume a considerable amount of spiritual power, and the things produced by the standard are not worth using soul forging at all." ”

Embarrassment...... It's a poisonous tongue, before, no, Dante in the fantasy realm has a strange temper, but it's not enough to spray directly on people who don't know it.

Link could only reply dryly, there were a lot of things he didn't remember.

As if remembering something, Dante dropped the hammer and walked to the left wall and pushed it, the masonry stepped back, revealing a room full of materials.

"The Grand Duke asked me to explain to you the characteristics of ores, come here, don't be stunned, I don't like to repeat what I say, I only say everything once, don't blame me if I can't remember and hear clearly. ”

As soon as he trotted forward, and as soon as he reached Dante's side, the old dwarf scooped up a piece of dark black ore and began to explain, "This is iron ore, the most common metal, and the two major mountain ranges in the east and west are the most prolific. Then he picked up a piece of raw ore with a whitish color, "This looks like Mithril is called real silver, and the texture is much harder than ordinary silver, and it is ranked with real gold after Mithril and Adamantite Gold as a metal suitable for enchantment." ”

Oh~ This is the first time I've heard of this, Gonzalez only talked about Mithril, Adamantite and Soul Energy. Link is interested in identifying ores or listening, and less concerned with dwarves' attitudes.

Dante picked up the golden ore stacked next to the real silver, it was brilliant, and it felt a little brighter than ordinary gold, Link couldn't help asking, "Could this be real gold?"

Dante snorted, "In order to distinguish it from ordinary gold and silver mines, the real characters are crowned in front, one north and one south, which are produced in the territory of the two elemental gods of water and fire. Because of the defeat, True Silver can be said to be extinct, and even the bravest dwarves and gnomes dare not go deep into the northern underground. ”

Link glanced around the old dwarf's vault, there were countless various ores glittering, in a way, Dent should be considered rich, right? By the way, what kind of soul energy and magic spirits are here?

"That ......" As soon as he spoke, the dwarf's eyes immediately glared at Link, and he paused slightly. "I've seen soul energy and goblins in the Exiled Lands, and I wanted to ask if it's the same as this one?"

"You describe it. Dent put his hands around his chest.

Hey, that look makes me nervous...... Link organized the language, "To me, the goblins are golden threads, huh...... It should be said that it is a substance like a thread. It has no weight, and it has strong penetrating power, and it can be dispersed through cloth or buildings. As for the soul energy, I always feel that there are colorful colors, and the material is a little sticky, just like ...... Jelly, no, cheese...... Anyway, it's hard to express, it's very soft, and it feels like it can be shaped into any shape. ”

"As far as I've seen. It is indeed consistent. Dante's tone softened unconsciously, these two are rare treasures that can be encountered, even if you are a craftsman who can make strange things, you may not be able to see both, especially soul energy, which only the chosen or those who have adventures have the opportunity to get a glimpse of it.

When Gonzalez first introduced him to Link, Dante was a little unimpressed.

In the past few hundred years, there have been many lifeweavers who have come to Edgar from the other world. Aside from the accidents caused by jealousy, less than 10% can actually succeed and become famous. I heard that such a young man is a craftsman. Dent believes that it will take a long time to observe, especially with Alex's hype to the outside world, and it is still unknown how long this person will live.

Ever since Alex set up a mobile camp, Fort Watch, with the nobles and remnants of Longyan Fort, his staff has changed batch after batch, and none of them have survived ten years. The shortest-lived is the Enchanter, who can be recruited for as long as a few months or as short as a few days before being killed by Girard. Although Dent also thinks that those who can't protect themselves and are killed are stupid, he still doesn't like the evil mage very much, not because it's too bad. Rather, it is because Girard is a hypocrite.

In a world where the gods are supreme, devout believers like Dante are the least disgusted with hypocrites.

Pulling out a few pieces of iron that had been forged into ingots and heating them in the furnace, Dante handed the hammer to Link, insisting that he make them into a standard iron sword.

Of course, the defenders of the Overwatch were more than one blacksmith, Dante, who was only responsible for the weapons and armor of the officers.

Anyway, it's still a while before dinner, so it's time to work out your fitness and strength. Link took the hammer and tried to build a long sword according to the finished product Dante brought, fortunately, wrought iron tanning is learned from the basics, and it looks good to do, Dante's brow finally relaxed, and Girard came in to see such a scene.

Link and Dante looked at him at the same time, and the mage held up an ancient book, "I found the answer you wanted." ”

Girard opened the book and read it to himself: "According to Befast's own words, the first gods merged with the world, and the stronger of them became the pillars of the elements that supported the heavens and the earth, while the weaker ones became the energy of life and formed all living beings. ”

Uh-huh, it's not the same as what I saw when I installed the game, there are more than a dozen pillars on it, how can there be only four on the real Edgar's side?

"The Child of Nature is the spokesperson of the material world chosen by the pillar, and from the moment he is chosen, he is no longer the original creature, but instinctively maintains his original appearance out of habit and mental factors. According to Befast, it's a way for the vulnerable to keep themselves. I think that's how your situation should be. Resisting changes in the body, the subconscious mind also thinks that he is human. ”

"What? he's a child of nature!" Dent looked shocked.

Girard replied with a blank face, "I thought you knew." He said this to justify himself by inadvertently revealing Link's identity.

"I thought Gonzalez had sued you......" Link suddenly felt the urge to cover his face, and even Girard was willing to say, why did he hide it from Dante? Did he sabotage Gonzalez's plan? Or did Dante have a close relationship with Alex and would tell Alex his true identity?

It's no wonder...... "Young and human." Except for a moment at first hearing, Dent quickly calmed down.

Link looked apprehensive and Girard remained silent, both waiting for Dante's decision.

"Gonzalez deliberately hiding it from Alex?"

Link took a deep breath, "He doesn't think the Commander would accept a child of nature who would only cause trouble and annoyance to the Watchdog compared to the Craftsman. ”

"I'm not going to say it, it's between their grandparents and grandchildren. Dante's attitude made the stone in Link's heart fall to the ground, and it was okay.

Girard's muffled voice sounded again, and the next words were the key: "You don't feel the gods." It's not because of faith, it's that you're subconsciously resisting, you're resisting merging with the world, resisting being called a part of it, as exemplified by the change in perception after meditation. ”

"But I'm ......"

"No, that's just your imagination. You think you're integrated, but in fact, deep down in your heart, you still haven't acknowledged it, and you've not put your mind right, it's not that the gods don't communicate with you, it's that you close your heart and your senses and refuse to communicate with the world. The fog you feel while meditating is your self-mind, have you ever tried to use magic techniques? If it works, it means that my assumption is correct. ”

Link was speechless. In fact, there is no need to be real, just the fact that the inheritance can be concretized is already the best proof that God still allows him divine power, but he himself refuses to accept the fact that he cannot return to the earth.

Seeing that his face was not good, Girard stopped saying that he continued to stab Link, and bowed to Dan before leaving.

After a few minutes, Link absentmindedly wanted to get the hammer. Stopped by Dante.

"You're in a trance, and you're not fit for the job. Let's go back and have a good rest. Come back when you've figured it out. ”

Kicked out of the forge room, Link's unnatural state caught Henry's attention, and he hurriedly asked him if he was unwell, but Henry suspected that it had something to do with Girard, who had just left. In the whole Watchtower, no one liked the evil mage, gloomy, and discredited.

"I'm fine. It's just that mental power is overused......"

Having made a fool of excuses to prevaricate, Link returned to the white yurt with vague steps, and when he saw that he was still sitting on the bed as if he had lost his soul, Henry, who was not at ease, immediately reported the situation to Alex.

Link, who was immersed in his own thoughts, had no idea when Henry had left, and all he could think about was Girard's words.

[It's not that the gods don't communicate with you. It is you who close your heart and senses and refuse to communicate with the world. 】

No, I didn't, I just ...... Some can't put it down.

Except for your deceased grandfather, your father and half-sister are just better 'acquaintances' than strangers. When you become an adult, you can't wait to move out of your home just to draw a line and show that you will have less contact in the future? Don't use them as an excuse, it's you who is vulnerable and incompetent!

"Link?" Sensing someone calling out to him, Link looked up, Gonzalez came at some point, and asked him what was wrong.

"I ......"

"What does it have to do with Girard?" Henry was intercepted by Gonzalez on his way to report, and after hearing Link's report that something was wrong, Gonzalez also thought that Girard must have done or said something to him, and immediately rushed to see Link. Fortunately, there were no signs of injury, but his expression was a little dazed, and he looked like he had been hit by something.

"It has nothing to do with him, I just have some doubts and ask him for advice, and the problem is with me. ”

"Can you sue me?" Gonzalez sat down next to Link, "You should know that proper confiding can relieve stress." And as an uncle who is over 50 years old, my rich life experience can also give you some help. ”

Hearing Gonzalez claim himself, Link, who was in a depressed mood, couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

"I'm a little ...... because I can't communicate with the gods Flustered, yes, it's not an exaggeration to use that word at all. When I was in the illusion, I always insisted on atheism, and that was because I could self-hypnotize, it was an illusory, unreal game, and although it could not be explained by science, I always believed in it in the real world, and only then could I be sure that I was awake, not confused by what was inside, and not pursue false eternal life like Frost and Cold. But after the crossing, all my previous insistence seemed so ridiculous, so ...... It doesn't make sense. ”

Gonzalez listened quietly, and in order to prevent Henry and Alex, who were following him, from hearing Link's self-talk, he opened the soundproof barrier. And compared Alex with a silent action, although he was dissatisfied, but seeing Link's chatter, knowing that his feelings were unstable and needed to be vented, he let his grandson stay with Link and withdrew himself.

Henry stated that he stayed outside and was unaware of the situation inside.

Alex considered whether to give Henry the right to follow him into the magic tent, leaving Girard aside, he didn't want to fall out with Dante for a craftsman, the old dwarf was a veteran of the Befast period, a spiritual banner, and an indispensable part of the fight against the undead. The armor and weapons created are very useful, and there is no threat to one's rule. Even if the craftsman is sacrificed, he cannot be touched.

After some thought, Alex made a decision. If you look at it for a while, craftsmen are scarce, but Link is not Edgar's only craftsman.

Inside the yurt. Link confesses to Gonzalestan that he is a selfish and neurotic fool.

"Actually, I vaguely felt that the reason why Su Wu said that he was chosen was that he didn't want to believe it, and he had to find a bunch of reasons. Link was so immersed in self-rejection that he didn't even notice Alex coming and going.

"Isn't the reason just that we are dissatisfied with reality? "Gonzalez is on his own.

"yes...... I'm tired of ordinary life, so deep down I yearn for change. I'm a writer of web novels, and I've fantasized that I wouldn't be bored if I lived in this kind of adventurous world. But people are cheap, they don't cherish a stable life, and once they really change, they don't adapt in every way. I found it all on my own! The letter had been sitting in my house for so long. Why did it fall into my hands after ten years, this is fate, it is my own desire to change and think of the other world that calls for it, it is not the gods of nature who chose me, it is I who chose this life. ”

After listening to this, Gonzalez did not comfort Link, but only asked, "Do you regret it?"

Link shook his head, "No...... I don't regret it. Just ......"

"If you don't regret it, why hesitate and be confused. Isn't this the life you want, the world you desire? In fact, Gonzalez also had the same idea as Link, except that he was forced by Alex to be really helpless, and occasionally complained, he never really regretted being reborn as a human being and being able to live. It's really good.

"Read it with me, it's what I want. Gonzalez slapped Link on the cheek.

"This is the ...... I want"

"Be louder! Don't drag your feet, say it from the heart. ”

"This is what I want!"

"Very well, whenever you feel confused and confused in the future, think about this sentence, since it is your own expectation. Whatever the outcome, accept it. With that, Gonzalez left, and he had to go to comfort Alex, who had just been knocked out.

The room fell silent again, and Link's mind calmed down.

Yes, there's nothing to dwell on, just do it if you think about it, and don't regret it if you do it, isn't that my motto?

Falling back on the bed, Link began to meditate.

Without confusion and self-isolation, the world suddenly opened up, the fog that blocked the view dissipated, and the space outside the field of vision was dark, and four huge pillars of light could be seen soaring into the sky.

It's a column, it's a column!

At this moment, the excitement in his heart cannot be described in words.

The silver-white pillar of water in the north is already a little black, the pillar of the earth in the west is surrounded by a cloud of black gas, the yellow-brown light flashes and flashes, like a light bulb with bad contact, the pillar of fire in the south is the largest and brightest, and the pillar of wind farthest away in the east separates a cyan light, condensing into a huge wind falcon, which is completely a copy of Hull, with shiny feathers and electric light from time to time.

[Chosen Fellow Link.] Gacos's voice sounded in Link's head, "Are you willing to make a pact and become the guardian of the world. 】

This is a scene that has never been seen even in the illusion, Link looked at Gasos who was getting closer and closer, and felt as if his consciousness had been cut into countless pieces by the atmosphere, and then pierced by the lightning that followed.

Guarding the world, not a pillar, stupid, a pillar is the world......

Once the contract is made, you will never be able to return to the Exiled Lands. 】

Can't go back, Link's mind flashes the faces of his father and sister, if their memories aren't erased......

[It's up to you, as long as you conclude a contract, the laws over there will erase the memories of your family, modify the traces of your save, and the world over there will no longer have your sextant. 】

As long as they don't feel sad and sad because of me, no matter how weak the relationship is, it will be family after all.

[Well, you agreed.] Remember your choice, we didn't bring you here to support another Hicks. As the price of using divine power, I will split a quarter of your soul. 】

Gacos was full of electricity, it flipped its wings, and Link only felt that his consciousness was completely pierced, and something was torn alive.

Is that my soul...... Before he was completely unconscious, Link only felt that his consciousness was rising, like a kite that had been off the string, floating upward, and then, he didn't know it.

ps: It's going to explode when it's written.,Originally, this chapter was only 5k.。 The protagonist of the waste wood has finally gotten rid of the weird psychological circle, and he will no longer have unbearable entanglements in the future. (To be continued!)
