Chapter 8: Fighting Spirit and Mercenaries

Lorlist, who had just crossed over, spent more than two months recuperating from his injuries and read all the history, geography, folklore, and character travelogues he could find about Gelintya, and finally had a general understanding of this strange world.

This is a world that looks a little similar to medieval Europe on Earth, because in Lorist's memory, the knight lord or something was the stuff of that time, and he once imitated a few sets of knight armor and sold them for a high price on the Internet.

The people here are also like Europeans, all of them are Caucasian, but they feel that the world is much more than the dark and ignorant medieval civilization that they know about on the Internet. Well, maybe it's a comparison of the eating aspect compared to the Middle Ages, every day oatmeal porridge, black bread, mashed potatoes and salt make people eat painfully. I wonder if the chubby caregiver was so fat because he ate something delicious from his own food.

With such suspicions, Lorist asked the caretaker named Klee, can she change the recipe?

Klee replied, "This is the Academy's sick meal."

Lorist said then don't eat sick meals, let's go as normal.

So the next day Klee brought black bread, mashed potatoes, and oatmeal porridge, and replaced it with a green vegetable soup with two leaves.

Lorist burst into tears and was in pain again.

Unlike white Europeans in previous lives, people here are accustomed to putting their surnames first and their first names behind, just like the Chinese have the same name habits. Lorist saw in a book on the origin of nobility that in the dark millennium, after those warriors who had the courage and courage to fight the monsters alone successfully returned, the tribal elders would give him names, such as White Mountain, Big Tooth, Flying Eagle or something placed in front of his name, and over time evolved into a surname. Like Norton, in the ancient elven language, it means angry bear.

The biggest difference is that there are two moons in Gelintya, the first big moon is called Daphline, silvery white, known as the goddess of the silver moon, or the goddess of love. The second moon is the much smaller Sufina, blood-red, known as the Goddess of the Blood Moon, or the Goddess of Vengeance, which hangs in the sky at night to reveal a red crescent. According to the legend of Gainthea, if Sufina reveals her entire figure and the full moon, it means that there will be another large-scale war between the world.

The goddess of the silver moon and the goddess of the blood moon are both the wives of the god of light, the god of war, and the sun god Sigvar in myths and legends, so in Gelintya, monogamy is recognized by everyone, provided that you have to marry, because the status of the two wives is not different, the dowry of the second wife cannot be less than that of the first wife. So for the sake of the peace of the house, in fact, many people, even those nobles, would rather marry only one wife to avoid trouble.

The more history books I read, the more confused Lorist became, because the continent of Guelintia was so large that the range of human territory accounted for more than a third, and the rest was either wasteland or forests or mountains, places where humans had never set foot. However, many history books or miscellaneous books such as geography and customs depict maps of the entire continent of Gelintya, which are similar, and it is said that these maps are left over from the period of magical civilization, and they are the maps of Galinthia surveyed by those magicians.

There is also the language of the written language, the language is the so-called lingua franca, and all the humans of Gelinthia speak this language, there are no dialects, just one. The text is a pictographic letter, a total of thirty-two, and then two or three of these letters form a diamond-shaped font, which is not difficult to master. The book says that this language and writing were created and promoted by magicians specifically for humans, and they themselves also possess ancient elven languages, dragon languages, goblin languages, and some magical languages.

What surprised Lorist the most was that many of the maps in the books depicted the continent of Gallinthia on a round sphere, and the people of Gallinthians knew that they lived on a planet, but they did not call it a planet, but a plane world. Some books about magical civilizations mention many of the so-called sub-dimensional worlds, and these sub-dimensional worlds are also on round planets in the void.

Unless the legends about the mages are true history, the language of this map is really hard to explain. If these are true histories, it shows that the development of the civilization of Guelinthia has taken a different path, first with magic and then with fighting spirit, focusing on the cultivation of individual strength, rather than taking the road of technological development like the previous earth civilization.

Lorist began to be interested in Dou Qi, carefully studied the manuscript of Flame Dou Qi, and only after his own cultivation experience did he understand that the key to Dou Qi was blood circulation.

The Gelinthians called the place where the blood of the human body flowed through the aggregate nodes, and the human body had seventy-two large nodes, three hundred and sixty small nodes, and one thousand and eighty odd nodes. The so-called Dou Qi is to sense the vitality in the air, speed up the blood circulation, and let the blood form a special circulation through several nodes through which it wants to flow according to its own feelings, so as to obtain explosive strength, speed and reaction ability, which is Dou Qi.

There is a little bit of Lorist feeling surprised, vindictiveness has attributes. As mentioned in the Chinese medicine book I memorized when I was a child, the human body has five elements, elephant skin, nostrils, lungs, large intestine is gold, tendons, eyes, liver, gallbladder is wood, bones, ears, kidneys, bladder is water, pulse, tongue, heart, small intestine is fire, meat, spleen, mouth, stomach is the same as earth, but there are more types of attributes of fighting qi.

For example, from the perspective of fighting energy, the blood circulation generated by the blood circulation of several blood nodes under the jaw of a person is the light attribute, the dou qi produced by the back of the head to the tail vertebrae is the dark attribute, the dou qi produced by several blood vein nodes flowing through the kidneys and bladder is the water attribute, the blood nodes of the right chest including the liver and gallbladder are wood attribute douqi, the right abdomen is the fire attribute, the left chest is metal, the left abdomen is the earth attribute douqi, and the wind attribute dou qi generated by more than a dozen blood vein nodes from the shoulder to the thigh。 In addition, there are some uncommon attribute fighting qi such as blood attribute fighting qi and ice attribute fighting qi.

Generally speaking, the cultivation of Dou Qi is to form a pentagram or hexagram form with several large blood nodes on the body, and then form a new blood circulation from several dozen blood nodes inside this pentagram or hexagram, and then accelerate the speed of blood to produce a sense of Dou Qi. Mastering this sense of qi and achieving intentional pneumatics is the purpose of Dou Qi cultivation. From this aspect, this is also the fact that Lorist feels that the cultivation of Dou Qi has the same familiarity as the cultivation of internal strength in his previous life.

However, there are many taboos in the cultivation of Douqi, and Douqi with different attributes cannot be practiced together. For example, if you are an earth-attribute Douqi, you can't practice other attribute Douqi, otherwise although you can't say that you have gone mad, it is true that you can no longer be promoted to the next realm. And there are many types of fighting qi, even if it is a basic fighting qi without attributes, there are more than a dozen kinds, and like those fighting qi in the army, they are all low-level fighting qi, and these can be cultivated to the top of the black iron rank.

However, the advantages of basic Dou Qi and Dou Qi in the army are that there are no attribute requirements, and anyone can cultivate, and second, the cultivation is simple, and it can sense Qi faster.

The popular Dou Qi initiation class in the academy now basically teaches the students the basic Dou Qi first, and then the students choose the intermediate or high-level attribute Dou Qi according to their own attributes to cultivate by themselves. However, most of the mid- and low-level Dou Qi cheats on the market are cultivated to the silver rank, and there are very few mid- and high-level Dou Qi cheats that can be cultivated to the gold rank, and some are also worth thousands of gold.

Lorist was very interested in the Flame Fighting Qi cultivated by his body, and was determined to cultivate well, and he was not too anxious about the lack of cultivation methods above the Silver Rank in the Flame Fighting Qi, anyway, the memory told him that the third uncle of this body would come over once a year, one was to see Xiao Locke's situation, and the other was to send a year's living expenses and tuition fees or something. Therefore, when the cultivation of the Flame Dou Qi reaches the Black Iron stage, you can ask this third uncle to bring the second half of the secret book over to continue cultivating. But who would have thought that only three years later, this third uncle suddenly lost his voice and disappeared without a trace. Then another year later, the Clison Empire broke out a war between the three princes for the throne, and after six years of fighting, he completely lost contact with the northern family.

Losing contact with the family, Lorist didn't care, but was a little happy, the original owner of this body was originally exiled, and now that there is no contact, there is no need to worry about someone suspecting him as a faker. The problem is that his living expenses and tuition fees are gone, and there is no problem with eating, and the fat Madoff Madoff's house, who sets up a stall at the entrance of the college every day, can mix rice, and no matter how bad it is, it is okay to eat in the college, because the tuition fee has included the cost of three meals, although these three meals are too difficult to eat, but this tuition fee is very nerve-wracking.

At that time, Lorist had been at Dawn Academy for three and a half years, and the two majors of accounting and knight training had already been certified and could graduate. But Lorist has just crossed over here, and the familiar environment of friends he has known for more than three years is here, and he has long regarded the city of Moriente as his hometown. Where can I go after graduation? At the age of seventeen or eighteen, I have just stepped into the black iron rank, so it seems too early to break into this strange world with such strength, right?

And in order to understand this world called Guelinthea, Lorist signed up for two majors in the second half of last year, one is pharmacy, and the other is Warcraft knowledge, and in his subconscious, he thinks that the more he learns, the better it will be to integrate into this world. Luckily, Lorist has just crossed over to be in the most prosperous and civilized city in Galinthia and not in some small village in the middle of nowhere, so that no one knows where to hang in if you are unlucky.

The tuition fee for a semester of a major is five to eight gold fords, and the knowledge of Warcraft is good to say, basically to look at pictures and learn to draw, understand the characteristics of various types of Warcraft, what Warcraft can be eliminated in what way, what parts of Warcraft are useful and more valuable, etc., as long as you remember well, there is no difficulty in passing this major. The worst thing is pharmacy, not only to identify various drugs, but also to learn how to deal with drugs, and finally to synthesize drugs, all of which cost money to do experiments.

In the past three years, Xiao Locke's third uncle would buy clothes and delicious food for Xiao Locke every time he came over, and leave another 30 gold coins for Xiao Locke as a year's tuition and living expenses. Sometimes the caravan has good business and will give a few more. Lorist was not usually extravagant, except for buying books and food and hiring servants, he had no other expenses, and he only saved twenty or thirty gold fords.

Perhaps in the eyes of Madoff, the fat man who set up a food stall at the entrance of the college, twenty or thirty Kingford is already a great amount of money, but for Lorlist, who wants to continue his studies, this amount of money is only enough for another year and a half of his studies.

Since he didn't want to leave Molent City, he had to think about making money, and Lorist was taken by a few friends from the academy to the mercenary union to register, became a lowest-level bronze-level mercenary, and then began to run errands for people.

However, after all, Lorist had the experience of his previous life, and he found a business opportunity when he took the task of running errands in the mercenary union, contacted a few friends, scraped together a few gold coins, and bought a large number of low-level monster furs, and asked someone to tann them and process them into a very common double shoulder strap backpack in the previous life. Lorist and a few friends each received a dozen or so gold fords, and struck while the iron was hot two or three more times, earning another seventy or eighty gold coins.

Just as Lorist and his friends were about to open a leather factory specializing in the production of this kind of backpack, they suddenly found that there were many imitation backpacks with double straps in the world, not only with many styles but also with a sharp drop in price.

This incident gave Lorist a little fame in the mercenary guild and prestige among his friends. In fact, in Lorlist's mind, there are still a lot of ideas for earning gold coins, but Lorist doesn't want to be eye-catching and keep a low profile. The gold coins in his hand are enough for him to live a chic and free life, usually go to the academy to study, and go to the mercenary union to take on small tasks and run errands in his spare time. During the college vacation, he and a few friends formed a small adventurous team to explore and kill a few low-level magical beasts, and the small life was leisurely, and it only took two or three years for Lorist to become a mercenary old fritter.
