After the lights went out, Old Man Benson lay down on his hard wooden bed and exhaled slowly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today he was very tired.

But he would be willing to be like this, tired himself without any strength at all.

Because in addition to this exertion, he has gained a strange kind of fulfillment.

Such a feeling existed almost exclusively in his memory, and he had not felt it for decades. It seems that he had a similar experience when he was a young man and studied with his master. This also surprised him.

I didn't expect that when he was old, he would be able to experience it like this again.

Now he is already the master of many people. There are even many who agree with this opinion, and he is the master of all the hunters in this part of the Limestone Territory.

Too many people have been instructed by him.

When it comes to the Limestone Realm, or even the River Valley, no one who knows a little about this place knows that he is the most powerful hunter in this land.

Old Benson didn't care, but he knew what it meant.

It's a recognition, a recognition of his skills and his past glory.

This recognition often allows him to have some privileges, such as many people with power, wealth, and power, when they meet, they greet him with the words: May Heavenly Father bless you with good health.

This glory alone is already something that many people can't ask for.

But old man Benson didn't care.

At this age, he is still alone, and there are probably only two things he cares about: inheriting his skills and making this skill go further.

He has been doing the previous things.

As for the latter, he had already died more than ten years ago.

But recent events have revived this thought.

Three days ago, he was in that hall, and the moment he saw the form and understood what it was about, his heart was touched. The next series of events made him understand that in his lifetime, he would definitely be able to make a breakthrough.

This confidence lies in the one that "clears the clouds and sees the sky".

The young lord may have known that man. Otherwise, at his age, he would not have been able to express such profound insights. It was his words that made the old man Benson completely understand the direction of his future.

According to the other side, what he pursues is called "positivism".

Its general meaning is that the source of knowledge must be based on the observation of reality. It is not possible to draw the right conclusions by simply thinking in the room, or simply appealing to authority, thinking that what the previous person said must be right. The best way to resolve a dispute is to examine the contradictory things in detail, rather than verbally comparing them with each other.

On the basis of this idea, he also told them about the most important weapon of "positivism": scientific experiments.

The lord also showed them a scientific experiment with his own hands.

Two days ago, in front of them, he placed a freshly broken ground helmet insect larva on a specially treated grass.

This meadow has been laid out in advance before the experiment. Baskets of unmelted snow and ice from the nearby mountains were poured onto it, and it was simply laid out as a snowfield.

According to the lord, this is called being as close as possible to the subject's living environment and avoiding unnecessary interference.

Then, in front of everyone, he asked people to simulate the roar of a snow bear, a natural enemy of the ground helmet, to check the reaction of the ground helmet insect larva.

The Snow Bear is a very tall bear-like creature, and is also an Arcane that can use a spell called Ice Armor. When fighting enemies, you can build a layer of armor composed of ice crystals on your body to use as an attack and defense.

This is a relatively dangerous animal.

According to the lord, it took a lot of effort to gather its roar. He also went to the wizards and asked them to make a magic guide to memorize sounds.

At first, it didn't seem to be going well.

The ground worm larva, after returning to normal, did not react to the snow bear's roar.

The lord was not discouraged.

He had a larva replaced and continued his experiment.

This time, he brought in a wooden, movable snow bear statue and stuffed sand and stone into the statue to further simulate the snow bear's huge weight.

Let the statue be controlled to simulate the way a snow bear walks, stepping on the snow.

This time, the ground helmet insect larva, which was still burying its head in the snow, was immediately alert. Everyone present saw its body tremble, and raised its head to look at the statue's location.

However, after this, it still changed to its original form, as if the statue had no effect on it.

Lord Lord, after a moment's thought, suddenly pulled out his pamphlet from his bosom. Then, a lot of charcoal, which was still red and hot, was fetched and stuffed into the statue.

This move made those of them present at a loss.

No one believed that the charcoal had anything to do with the Ground Helmet Worm.

But the statue of the snow bear, since it was infused with this charcoal, it seems to have some kind of magic.

This time, the larvae, like the previous one, sensed the tremor of the ground and immediately raised its head. Unlike the last time, the first time it looked at the snow bear statue, it let out a piercing screech. Like seeing a real snow bear, desperately burrowing into the ground is the main escape method for young ground helmets. At that time, everyone saw this scene, and they all gasped.

Even if it's hunters like they're veteran.

Among them, the most experienced hunter was Bivis. This man was like a giant bear, crying and laughing at that moment, as if he had been stimulated by some terrible stimulus.

Later, the old Benson found out that this middle-aged man also had a special past. Even, he gave up the mercenary group he had run for many years and specially returned to his hometown in the poor countryside, which was also for that reason.

Finally, after the success of the experiment, the lord said to them: "It seems that the larvae of this ground helmeted insect have two senses, one is tremor perception, and the other is infrared vision. I'm afraid you don't know that all the objects in this world emit a special kind of light, which I call infrared. The hotter the object, the stronger the infrared rays emitted. Of course, we humans can't see it, but some animals, such as these ground helmets, can feel it. That's why it's useless to hide in front of them, they don't feel the world with their eyes at all, but through these infrared rays. ”

After that, the experiment did not end.

But its direction has changed, to control the top and bottom of the snow bear statue, its size, and even its shape.

Old Benson, unable to say how he felt the moment he saw the "science experiment" going on. But he understood that the dark clouds that had hung over his head for so long had dissipated.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, the old man suddenly saw a strange white light in the room.

"Old friend, long time no see......"
