Chapter 4 Baulston Town (2)
The apprentice came out with Gu Shiyu and passed through the courtyard between the guild building and the academy. In the courtyard of the www.biquge.info Pavilion, many heroes in armor are surrounding a stone tomb, taking turns pulling out a giant sword stuck in the tombstone. The dozen or so Druid monks from earlier sat cross-legged by the stone tomb, motionless like statues.
"What is this for?" Gu Shiyu stood next to the crowd and asked the apprentice who led the way.
"Here are the bones of the greatest human hero of fifty years, the king of the kingdom of Erathia. Thirty years ago, he was the one who led the human army to annihilate the dwarven legions in the Valley of Death. After the battle, the portal to the Lost Lands stopped flickering, and the king was unable to return to his homeland, and later died in the Heroes' Guild. The monks sitting next to them are the guardians of the Valley of Death, which was razed to the ground due to the volcanic eruption, and so they come to the Heroes' Guild to continue to guard the king's spirit. ”
Could it be that these monks are the ones guarding the Valley of Death? Didn't Yolander say that there were dozens, why were there only so many of them now?
The apprentice seemed to see Gu Shiyu's thoughts, and said, "When the volcano erupted, they still held on to the valley mouth until the valley mouth was swallowed by magma. These are the only ones who can escape. ”
"Isn't this giant sword the king's?" asked Gu Shiyu.
"Yes. Before he died, the king stuck his greatsword in this place and promised that whoever drew the sword would become king of the kingdom of Erathia. Don't you want to give it a try?"
Gu Shiyu's heart itched after hearing this, and he stepped forward eagerly. When passing by those monks, Gu Shiyu suddenly had the urge to beat them. In the valley of death, they were beaten so badly that they were almost killed in the valley! Now that they were much less numerous, could he and Yolande defeat them? Remembering their incomparably powerful lightning and fireballs, he still had lingering palpitations.
The man standing in front of Gu Shiyu put his hands on the hilt of the giant sword, shouted in his mouth, and pulled it up with all his might, but the giant sword didn't move at all. He shook his head and quietly retreated.
Gu Shiyu's face was red, the green tendons on his neck and hands flared up, and he even used the strength to eat, and the giant sword was also motionless. There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Gu Shiyu said angrily: "Are you cows very good? Aren't you the same as me, and you haven't pulled it out!"
A blonde beauty in armor who was standing next to the onlookers shook her head, turned around and walked towards the academy dormitory, her posture graceful and irritating.
Gu Shiyu was stunned! Although the figure of the red leaf is also good, compared with this beauty, it is really too different! This beauty should be big in the big place, small in the small place, one point is longer, one point is shorter, when exercising, it is as strong as a heifer, and when it is calm, it can give people a feeling of weakness. So I couldn't help asking, "Who is that woman?"
"She is the daughter of the king, Princess Catherine of the Kingdom of Erathia. As long as anyone can draw the king's sword, she will promise to marry whomever she wants. It's just that she has been waiting at the academy for ten years, and such a hero still hasn't appeared. ”
The battle between humans and dwarves was thirty years ago. Even if the princess had not yet been born when the human king set out on the expedition, wouldn't she be almost thirty years old by now? Gu Shiyu was secretly worried about the beauty, if Yolande pulled out her sword, wouldn't a flower be inserted into cow dung? If no one in the world could draw her sword, wouldn't she become an old girl who couldn't get married?
Fortunately, I didn't pull out my sword, otherwise I would have found a big sister who was seven or eight years older than me to be my wife, this ...... I'm afraid it's not good.
In the guild hall, more than a dozen instructors dressed in uniform have gathered, and only the skill mark worn on the left chest is different. When the little old man saw Gu Shiyu coming, he said to him: "I'll take you to the Holy Light Pool over there first, and if you meditate in the Holy Light, you will naturally be able to upgrade." ”
"How do you call you old man?" asked Gu Shiyu.
"Hehe, no one calls me by name anymore for decades, and I forget what my name is. Everyone in the guild calls me Mentor, so call me that!"
Gu Shiyu was taken aback! I didn't expect that this thin old man turned out to be the boss of the Hero Guild. Look at his skinny appearance, it won't exceed a hundred catties, and he can pick him up with one hand. To say that he is an invincible hero in the world is really unbelievable.
"In the Heroes Guild, you can choose to practice two combat techniques, one is individual combat and the other is clan combat. There are many quick cultivators who choose to practice legion warfare, that is, they choose to practice legion combat techniques such as wisdom, wind, fire, water, earth magic, tactics, and siege techniques, and become generals of the army. Of course, the choice of whether to choose one or the other types of cultivation or to cultivate both types is in your hands. ”
Gu Shiyu thought to himself, let's cultivate individual warfare first, if we can't beat others, everything will be in vain! Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, and other famous generals in the world don't all have the courage of ten thousand people? So he asked: "Mentor, could you please tell me about the cultivation method of individual warfare." ”
"No matter what kind of combat method you cultivate, you must first accumulate enough Yuanshen, that is, experience. I see you've accumulated enough experience to move up a lot of levels. There are three basic types of skills in individual combat, one is strength, which is divided into physique, health, and stamina. Cultivating strength, which is the basic prerequisite for becoming a powerful hero, only with a strong physique, can you use more powerful heavy weapons to protect yourself and inflict more damage on the enemy. The second category is skills, where you can improve your style, speed, and accuracy, dodge enemy attacks, increase attack speed, and become a marksman. The third category is mental power, and you can choose to practice attack spells, physical strength spells, and increase spell energy. However, it should be noted that in the spell system, you can focus on choosing one of the wind and fire to practice, otherwise it will be far from enough with the primordial spirit you have accumulated so far. ”
Gu Shiyu was speechless, he didn't expect that cultivation would be so complicated. If it is so troublesome to fight in a single person, wouldn't it be even more troublesome to fight in a legion?
Gu Shiyu stood in the pool of holy light, bathed in holy light all over his body, and began to meditate.
The instructor returned to the crowd and said to the crowd, "He chose to practice personal combat techniques. Giant Thunder, Giant Sword, Giant Bow, the three of you stay, wait for him to finish meditating, and then go to the practice ground to test his ability to use basic techniques. ”
The other coaches dispersed one after another, and Ju Lei looked at Gu Shiyu in the holy light, and said worriedly: "Mentor, your decision may be wrong. He is different from us, he is not of this world. ”
The mentor said: "Although he comes from a different world, he is now in the same world as us, so what's the difference? If the Hero Guild doesn't take him in, will he go to the Thieves' Guild and join the evil forces? A berserk Sauron is enough of a headache for us, if we add him, it will definitely break the balance of power on the continent, and the darkness will rule this world again." ”
Greatsword said, "The Prophet said that he might be the prophesied Chosen One. If it was him, the entire continent would be in flames of war again. ”
The mentor said, "The demon gates in the west have been opened, and the demon army has begun to invade the dwarven kingdom, and the war has now been ignited. Sooner or later, it can't be avoided. ”
"If he is the Chosen One," said the Greatbow, the portals throughout the Lost Lands would reopen, and this place would become a living hell. ”
The Mentor said, "Now the only hope is that the Chosen One can lead the human alliance to defeat the evil forces and completely seal the demons in Hell and Hades. Isn't that what you want to see?"
Gu Shiyu walked out of the holy light, feeling that the clothes on his body were much smaller, and he was tense and uncomfortable. The mentor nodded and said, "It seems that you have strengthened a lot in terms of strength, and your physique is much stronger. Ju Lei, you take him to change into a bigger apprentice clothes first, and then we go to the practice ground together. ”
Giant Bow said, "Mentor, who should we let fight him?"
The mentor thought for a moment and said, "Let Adela fight him!" Adela is our best student, and he will be able to award the Hero Badge after the completion of his training in a few days. Let them both graduate together, I still have a lot of tasks for them to do. ”
The three of them chatted while walking, and Ju Lei had already taken Gu Shiyu to the spell cultivation ground, and said to Gu Shiyu: "Okay, let me see what spells you have selected." Try attacking the scarecrow opposite you with a fireball or a lightning bolt!"
Gu Shiyu learned a few attack spells, and he was about to try the power in his heart, so he chanted the incantation, and a string of lightning flew out of his palm, breaking the scarecrow in front of him. Ju Lei nodded, "Lightning is the first choice for many cultivators to learn. Judging by the power of your lightning, the skill has reached level three, which is already unique among the students. What else have you studied?"
Gu Shiyu silently recited the incantation, his hands suddenly raised high, and a huge lightning net immediately appeared around him, and a series of lightning bolts with a thunderclap roared and smashed the surrounding fallen leaves into pieces.
Giant Thunder nodded, "This is the Wrath of the Heavens, summoning the fury of the Celestials to attack the enemies surrounding them with continuous lightning bolts. With your ability to do damage, you're already able to crush weak enemies, such as poisonous bees, scarabs, and so on. What else have you learned?"
Gu Shiyu lowered his head, and his body rushed out like an arrow from the string, and there was a deep collision mark along the way. It's just that Gu Shiyu couldn't control his body, rushed out nearly twenty meters at once, and crashed into a big tree. The tree shook violently, and the leaves and fruits fell like raindrops. Gu Shiyu was shaken to the ground by the huge reaction force, and he was dizzy.
Giant Thunder nodded and said, "This is a furious charge, knocking over all the enemies in front of you. Enemies will be stunned or even seriously injured by you. It's good for you to learn this, and the guild will pick fruit in the future, so you can just hit the fruit tree a few times by yourself. ”
Gu Shiyu's face flushed, and he said, "Teacher, it's the first time I've used this spell, so I can't control the distance of the attack yet." ”
Ju Lei shook his head and said, "You have increased these spells to level three or above, and the damage is indeed there." Keep in mind, however, that the higher the level, the more spell energy is consumed. Your spell energy level is not enough, a Heavenly Wrath or a collision will consume almost all the spell energy!You can't drink a spell energy potion while fighting!"
The mentor said: "You can use these three spells first, the skill is not many, but the essence." Given your spell ability, you can count as an A+ rank among students. Come, let's see how your bow practice goes. ”
