Chapter 42: Departure
"Guess?" the two were dumbfounded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's not random speculation!" Xiong quickly explained, "For example, a magician can easily sense the fire elemental around him and release powerful fire magic, but the water magic he also casts is not satisfactory, indicating that his physique is biased towards the fire attribute." Magicians can judge the attributes of their constitution based on their proficiency in the perception of the surrounding elements, and can choose the corresponding magic. You may not be a magician, but you can learn some simple test magic to understand your stats. ”
"Oh, I should have learned some simple magic in the academy in the first place!" the two said with some regret.
"Don't be in such a hurry!" Xiong smiled slightly, "The attributes of the physique are inherently unchangeable, and you are not magicians, so you don't need to choose the magic of the corresponding attributes, and it won't have any effect if you understand it earlier or later." ”
"That's not necessarily, if my attribute is water and my opponent's attribute is earth, wouldn't it be unfair to fight without understanding?" Bell immediately objected.
"There is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world!" Xiong Zhengse said, "Many times a person's background determines his height in some fields, and all you have to do is to keep working hard." Just like the attribute of physique, you can't change it at all, and you may meet an opponent who restrains you at any time on the road in the future, so only by training twice and sweating more than others can you make up for the weakness of the attribute with the difference in strength. Have you met an adversary who restrained you on a mission, and then fled?"
"The lesson of the predecessors is that since it can't be changed, there is no need to specifically understand it, otherwise there may be some psychological disadvantages before the battle, which will not help anything. Gary said.
"Don't be a sycophant," Bell interrupted him, "Knowing your own attributes earlier and training hard without conflicting, not to mention that I can also use some clever tactics to win in battle, isn't this also a reflection of the 'strength gap'?"
"No matter how clever the tactics are, they are not worth mentioning in front of the huge difference in strength!" said Garay, who also raised his voice.
"You're all right, but don't worry too much about these," Seeing that the two were arguing, Xiong immediately played a round, "Because the difference in attributes is not reflected at all at your level, only in the battle between the late stage of 'form' or the early stage of 'spirit', but in the realm of stronger strength, it may be a different scene, just like the old man Fengwu, if he meets an opponent whose attributes restrain him, do you think he will definitely lose?" Remember, the role of attributes is more to let the magician choose the magic that suits him!"
Hearing Xiong's explanation, the two of them died down and gave up.
"Okay, you should know about Yuanli too, right? If you're not in a hurry to get on the road, you can exercise here for a few more days. By the way, Bell, the tavern owner seems to be looking for you everywhere, and it seems that the meal you had eaten and drank yesterday hasn't ...... yet."
"Eh, that clearing is good, Garay, will you go turtle or rabbit first?" Bell automatically turned off his ears, pulled Garay up and ran off into the distance......
In the next few days, the two began to practice the 'tortoise and rabbit race' yuan force training game. The bear's demonstration seems simple, but it contains precise control of the Yuan Force, and they can't even grasp the shape of the tortoise and rabbit at first, and there are often jokes that 'the rabbit has less ears, and the turtle has less shell'. However, after training day and night, the Yuan Force value of the two has finally improved a lot.
A few days later, also on this hillside.
"Elephant Warsong!"
"Yuan Force Bullet!"
There was a loud bang, and the two martial arts collided violently, and the surrounding stones exploded one after another, and the earth flew in all directions.
"Hah...... Ha...... Twentieth time......" Garay half-crouched on the ground, gasping for air.
"Yes...... yes...... "Bell was already soaked in sweat.
After a while, the two of them lay on the ground at the same time, and the breeze and the sun were slightly drunk, making them slowly close their eyes and enjoy this short rest.
"Bell," said Gary after a long silence, "why did you choose to become a knight?"
"Boring!" replied to Bell, turning lazily over and "look at our perch village, quiet and peaceful, and undisputed, and the villagers follow the rules like every part of the train, repeating the same actions every day, but it's not interesting!
"A peaceful life isn't necessarily a good thing, didn't Senior Xiong also return to his village from the Knight Guild?"
"I'm not like him, even though I grew up here, and the village chief, the bear, and the rupee were all nice to me, I still felt a little out of place, as if I didn't belong here. ”
"Why do you feel that way, your parents?" asked Garay.
"I don't have parents...... Bell told Garay his story with the old drunkard.
"I see, that'...... Still haven't heard from him?"
"I asked Xiong before, and he just shook his head, so I thought that after becoming a knight, I might be able to find him one day. Bell was a little lonely, but he immediately changed the subject, "And what about you, why do you want to be a knight?"
"Me?" Gary was stunned, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "I...... I don't have any great ideals, just to get stronger. ”
"Don't worry," Bell didn't ask, he patted Garay on the shoulder, "As long as there is tomorrow, everything is full of hope!"
"Yes. ”
The two of them stopped talking, and sat on the hillside looking into the distance, until the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the childish longing on their faces.
The next day, the entrance of the village of perch.
"Brother Bell, Brother Garay, take care!"
"Bell, remember to come back often!"
"Brother Garay, you have to come with you too!"
"Brother Bell, Brother Garay, goodbye!"
The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village to bid farewell to Bell and Garay, who were about to leave for the Knights' Guild, and even the young warcraft wrestling orangutan that Ruby had rescued was bouncing around in the crowd, waving goodbye to the two. It is said that he and Ruby have become very good friends and have settled in the village of Perch.
"Take care, everyone, bear, we'll surprise you next time we come back!Rupee, don't let us go to the woods to look for you again!" said Bell, exclaimed.
"Yes, I will definitely protect everyone like Uncle Bear and Big Brother Bell!" Ruby patted his chest in agreement.
"Take care, everyone, thank you seniors for teaching, juniors will ......," Garay was halfway through his words, when he was suddenly dragged by Bell and ran far away.
"What are you doing! I'm not done yet!" Gary was a little confused.
"Next time, let's run!" Bell ignored him, spreading his legs and disappearing from everyone's sight.
At this moment, I heard the angry and miserable roar of the tavern owner behind me: "Bell, you bastard!!"
Pearl City is a slightly larger town closest to Perch Village, and the surrounding villages usually come here to do business, so the Knight Guild has also set up a branch here. As soon as Bell and Gare arrived in Pearl City, they couldn't wait to rush to the branch of the Knights' Guild.
Although it is a little large, it is only a small town after all, and this so-called knight branch is a simple office set up on the second floor of the tavern, and it seems that there are no personnel to patronize it recently, and there are very few commissions on the task board at the door.
The two went to the second floor of the tavern, and when they saw that the door was closed, they knocked on the door.
There was a loud bang, and after the door was knocked, it fell directly to the ground.
The two of them were so frightened that their souls flew away, and before they could register as knights, they smashed the door of the association first.
"Who?" A lazy inquiry came from the dust, and seemed to have no opinion on the collapse of this door.
"You...... Hello, we ...... We are prospective knights of the Leiby Academy and want to ...... Register as an official knight. Even so, the two cautiously introduced themselves.
"Oh, come in. "Three more bland words.
"This ...... This door ...... "After thinking about it, Bell felt that it was better to take the initiative to admit his mistakes.
"Don't worry about it, the top hasn't approved the funds, so I'm too lazy to fix it!" At this time, the voice was a little angry, but it was also aimed at the Knight Association.
"Good...... All right...... This is a letter of recommendation from the college. The two walked in, and finally saw the person who was speaking. I saw that on a chair, there was a fat middle-aged man, his entire back was almost attached to it, the two feet of the chair were already cocked, making a 'creaking' sound, and his two legs were firmly placed on the table in front of him like two hooves.
Bell and Garay could see that the fat man was just a receptionist for the Society, and that he had to satisfy his craving for comfort to the maximum extent possible with the limited tools available here, and that even his hair should feel that it would be difficult to grow on his head, so he was bald at the same time.
Faced with the two letters of recommendation handed over, the bald man didn't even look at it, but said directly: "Go to the corner over there and write the form first!"
"It's going to save you a lot of trouble!" Gary muttered. But the bald man continued to shake with his eyes closed, and I don't know if he heard it.
"Forget it, write it yourself. Bell took back the letter of recommendation and pulled Gary to the corner table, on which there was a stack of papers scattered around, and the two of them picked up the top two and began to fill them out.
However, when they filled in the question 'whether or not to form a knighthood', Bell's eyes lit up, and his mind immediately appeared that a majestic group of knights had perfectly triumphed from a mission, and the rewards given by the dignitaries and nobles were falling around them like snow. He hastened to tell Garay about the idea, and the latter immediately thought about it and immediately agreed with it.
"What are the requirements for this big brother to become a knight?" Bell asked in a good voice.
"Ouch, I said you two have a lot of questions, you don't know anything, what are you running for?" the bald man raised his head impatiently, "There is no knight order registered here, if you want to establish a knight order, you can go to the city of Gnora by yourself!"
“...... Isn't it written here that the Order of Knights is formed, and if it can't be registered, then what is written?" argued Gary, pointing to the form with great dissatisfaction.
"This form is in the format prescribed above, stinky boy, what are you doing so seriously, if you don't fill it out, get out of here immediately!" the bald man was obviously quite disgusted by the two of them disturbing his rest from time to time, and scolded menacingly.
"You!" said Garay, gesturing to draw his broadsword.
"What's the matter? You two would-be knights still want to make trouble?" the bald man did not give up, and although the two hooves were bloated, they were not slow, and they stood on the ground with a "poof".
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Seeing that the two of them were tense, Bell immediately persuaded, "I'm sorry! We'll leave right away!" he forcibly dragged Garay away.
"What's that!" the bald man glared until the two of them were completely gone, and then sat down slowly, still muttering something in his mouth, as if he wanted to turn the loneliness and resentment he had been here for years into strength to vent in one go.
"Who are the people in this association!" Gary was extremely angry, "such a knight, don't do it!"
"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry, you also know that he is just a receptionist, relying on the background of the association to make a high-minded appearance. In fact, if you think about it, it's pitiful, it's gloomy and sparsely populated here, and they have lofty ideals but they are unexpectedly sent to such a place, and when their hair falls out, of course they will be full of resentment!" Bell actually expressed his understanding.
"And what now, to the city of Gnorra?" Hearing Bell's explanation, Garre's anger was half gone.
"Of course, there is no commission in such a small place, and we want to set up a knightly order, not to mention the fact that there are many dignitaries and nobles in the city of Gnora, try your luck there, and maybe you will soon get rich......!"
