Chapter 22: The Return of the Knight King (3)
The light flashed away, and Lin had already appeared in the first layer of the Kingdom of God, the Origin Realm.
In the magnificent city of Heronisburg, there are many psychics busy at any given time. Lin pulled out the trading terminal and opened the friends list.
"I'm not here. Lin saw that the names of the client, Universe Ash and Baking Soda, were gray, so he left a message for Universe Ash.
Next, it's time to start working on that mission that I don't have a clue about.
Lin summoned Arcelia out.
"My ......" Arcelia was still expressionless, but Lin found that his intimacy with Arcelia seemed to have increased.
Arcelia's loyalty is an impeccable 100, which fits well with a knight's profession. But intimacy was a constant headache for Lin - no matter how he communicated with Arcelia, the blonde girl didn't want to say a word, and by now, Lin had heard seven words of "my king", but apart from these fourteen words, Arcelia hadn't even said a single interjection, such as "ahh
Therefore, Arcelia's intimacy has always been fixed at 50 points.
But now, Lin felt that the distance between Arcelia and him had narrowed a little. I checked the intimacy level, and it was actually 60, which was just passing.
60 points of intimacy, this is probably the reason why the mission of "The Return of the Knight King" came. Lin ruled out other possibilities and finally confirmed this.
"Arcelia, do you know the Armor of Dawn?" asked Lin tentatively.
There is no doubt that before the fall, Arcelia must have known about the Armor of Dawn, and may have been the owner of this equipment. But after the fall of Arcelia, it is difficult to say whether there is any memory of this.
Sure enough, when she heard this question, Arcelia showed a blank expression.
I know that the mission and mission issued by the will of God will not let me find the clue so easily. Lin thought stupidly.
Either way, it is necessary to continue to communicate with Arcelia and increase the level of intimacy.
"Arcelia, the last time I fought with the Thor Stone Monsters, I found a problem," Lin said very seriously, "There is not much difference in the physical fitness of the two of us, but there is a big gap in the strength played in the battle. β
The blonde girl looked listening.
Lin was secretly happy in his heart and continued: "I think it's because I don't have formal training. So, I'd like to ask Arcelia to teach me how to fight in close combat. β
Arcelia hesitated slightly, pulled out her rusty broad-bladed sword from the void, pointed at Lin, then pointed at the sword, and shook her head: "Not suitable." β
Finally I heard Arcelia speak! and in addition to the dry "My King".
Lin's spirit was lifted, this is the benefit of passing the intimacy, and the spirit will not reject the communication with the psychic. If the intimacy level is still 50 points, then most likely, Arcelia will take Lin's words for guidance as air.
"I know that it takes a very long time to learn swordsmanship, and I'm not suitable for using swords," Lin said sincerely, "I mean, in terms of the pace of hand-to-hand combat, you come and provide me with some training for the surname." β
Arcelia was a highly intelligent fallen spirit, and she understood what Lin meant, nodded slightly, and agreed to Lin's request.
So, Lin made an appointment with Arcelia to do three hours of footwork training every day.
The training is divided into two processes, the first is that Arcelia is used as a guide to demonstrate how to move flexibly to dodge the enemy's attacks, and after Lin's training has achieved a certain effect, then he will fight with Arcelia and practice in actual combat.
In fact, for Lin, the training itself is not the point, his purpose is to use these three hours to cultivate intimacy with Arcelia.
However, Lin soon discovered that he had to change his mindset because Arcelia's training was effective.
"It's the same 8 point agility, why is Arcelia so flexible?" Lin thought awkwardly after staggering and taking twice as long to complete the eight footsteps demonstrated by Arcelia.
Lin remembered the live match between the Gaulle and Petain clubs that he saw in the open square half a month ago.
In that game, Philip Carter, the junior leader of the Petain Club, impressed Lin with his ghostly speed and nimble footsteps - what a terrifying strength it is to be able to rely on flexible dodge and response under the siege of the Phantom-level Bear Goblin and True Spirit-level Flame Dwarf elites, and finally seize the opportunity to counterattack and turn the tables in one fell swoop.
"It's time to consider the teacher's suggestion, and Professor Abner PΓ©tain's new theory seems to be more suitable for me. Lin thought of his sad 8 points of innate charm value, and then thought of up to 12 points of physique and 10 points of strength, so he secretly thought, and then put away the initial contempt.
After the first day of three-hour training, Lin was as tired as a dead dog with a congenital constitution of 12 o'clock, and he used his clumsy steps to set off Arcelia's agility.
This made Lin feel very shameless, and he was determined to practice his basic steps.
Lin and Arcelia chose to train on the edge of a gravel wasteland, not far from Hejonisberg. There are no monsters here, and it's remote enough.
After all, such a thing as learning footsteps from his own life spirit was too abnormal, and Lin didn't want to be the object of onlookers from psychicists.
At this time, the voice of Didi came from the communicator of the trading terminal.
Lin picked it up and saw that it was a private chat message from Universe Ash: "Master Xiaolin, I am in Hewronisburg, and I have opened a quiet room, room number D-08, waiting for you to come." β
Lin was a little unaccustomed to being so polite, so he greeted Arcelia: "Let's go, let's go back." β
D-08 in Ashram.
In addition to Cosmic Ash and Baking Soda, their two teammates, Big Bear and Boy with Glasses, were also present.
"Brother Zhi, you are actually willing to open the quiet room," Da Xiong lay down on the soft couch against the wall, and the soft couch let out a squeaky moan: "Who is that Xiaolinzi, is it so powerful?"
"I want to call Master Xiaolin!" Universe Ash's dark and thin face showed a serious expression: "Bringing you and the genius here this time is to give you a chance, after all, orthodox spirit masters are rare." β
The young man with glasses, who was called a "genius", pushed his glasses with his surname and did not speak.
Suddenly, Universe Ash's communicator rang, and he quickly ran over to open the door: "Master Xiaolin is here! Big Bear, quickly stand up for me, don't be like a dead pig, pay attention to your image and don't slack off!"
The stout bear grunted and got up from the soft couch.
"Hello...... Huh?" suddenly found that there were two more people he didn't know, and Lin looked at Universe Ash with an inquiring eye.
"They are teammates of my team," Universe Ash rubbed his hands and said with some uneasiness, "I heard about Master Kobayashi's demeanor, and they all ...... Well, they all admired it very much and clamored to come and have a look. Master Kobayashi, don't bother, right?"
Lin naturally had no opinion, and said with a smile: "It's okay. Universe Ash was relieved.
"This is your Blood Slave card," Lin pulled out the gray card from the card bag and attached a piece of parchment, "Well, this is the engraving spell I designed." β
Baking Soda was excited for a while, and quickly took the parchment.
The young man with glasses leaned aside and looked at it, and asked with some curiosity: "I understand the word 'blood' very well, it is a common keyword for vampire spirits, but how to understand 'freedom' and 'revenge'?"
Lin was a little surprised, and glanced at the young man with glasses: "You are a spirit possessor?"
Cosmic Ash said on the side: "He is my team member, his ID is called 'genius', and he usually studies a lot of spirits, but he has not been systematically studied, and he has no ability to think." β
Baking Soda said: "The genius is so powerful, my last psychic card 'Killing Vine' was engraved by the genius for me." β
It turned out to be a Yeluzi Spiritual Possessor, Lin nodded.
After all, most spiritualists can't awaken their senses, so they find another way, starting from external observations, collecting a lot of information, and guessing the spleen name and style of the spirits according to the type of spirits, and then designing engraved spells.
The defect of such a spiritualist is that he has no sense of thought, cannot go deep into the card world, communicate with the spirit of life, cannot perceive the emotions of life, and many times the design of the engraving spell is not comprehensive enough to impress the spirit, and even the opposite direction, which causes the spirit to be disgusted, making the next engraving more difficult.
Lin didn't have any rejection of Ye Luzi's spirit possessor, and casually explained: "I have communicated with this vampire derivation, and those two key words are inferred from its emotions. β
The genius asked, "What emotions does it have, and how do you infer it?"
Cosmic Ash shouted: "Genius!"
Now in this world, the spirit possessor is the master, and providing the engraving spell is equivalent to completing the commission. When he was happy, he explained to the client the reason for the design of the engraved spell, and when he was unhappy, he didn't even give an explanation. Don't believe me, find someone else!
Universe Ash stopped the genius's questioning, just because he was worried that Lin would be impatient.
Fortunately, Lin, a rookie who is enchanted, has not yet developed the spleen surname of a spiritualist who plays a big name. He said patiently: "In communicating with it, I found that this blood slave has a lot of 'human' consciousness left, and it is not a simple undead creature. The experience of being turned into a blood slave by its master, the vampire, and controlled and dominated, made the remnants of consciousness yearn for freedom. β
After a pause, Lin then explained: "Not only that, but I guess that the Blood Slave must have been a brave man against vampires before he became an undead creature, and he had a deep dislike for evil creatures like vampires. This disgust is also reflected in the remnant consciousness, which is desperate for revenge on the vampire master who once controlled it and turned it into a blood slave. β
A hint of envy flashed in the genius's eyes, this is the power of the orthodox spirit possessor, under the exchange of thoughts and feelings, direct dialogue with the spirit of life, you will get a lot of information that cannot be observed from the outside, and discover important keywords.
"Okay, then I'll get started!" Baking Soda couldn't wait.
"Sleeping souls, listen to me, a psychic. β
"O unyielding forsaken one! Rise from the kingdom of the dead, obey me! I will give you sweet blood, I will retain your free will, I will direct your vengeful wrath!
