Chapter 33: Concealment and Instantaneousness
Meng Yang carefully reflected on the whole process of casting the spell, and he found that when his mind moved to release this light spirit, the divine soul seemed to automatically sound a very mysterious sound, as if it was a syllable composed of a few bytes, and this short and elusive syllable clearly had some kind of magical charm in between. In a flash of inspiration, Meng Yang vaguely remembered that when he first came to the Dragon Ruins that day, Ruoyi suddenly appeared, and released four or five very powerful magics back and forth, especially the last one that Old Ford called the Water Curtain Tianhua, which made him almost suffer. On that day, every time Ruoyi released his magic, he would recite the mantra, and Meng Yang, who had a powerful divine sense, vaguely heard some vague sounds, and now that he thought about it, it was seven or eight points similar to the sound in Fang Cai's soul.
"This is the unique rhyme formed when the magic mantra is recited? Could it be that when I release the magic, I don't need to move my mouth to chant it, I just need to think about it? Then this talent is a little too terrifying, is it so, or is it because the light spirit is just a low-level first-level magic? No, I'll try again. ”
From the disappearance of the last light spirit effect to the second time Meng Yang casts it, the interval between before and after is only ten breaths, but it is exactly the same as before, Meng Yang just meditated on the "light spirit" in his mind, and in less than a tenth of the breath, the light spirit was blessed on his body, and it lasted for a minute as usual, and ten points of magic power were consumed as usual.
Meng Yang was completely dumbfounded.
He suddenly realized that his anti-heavenly magical talent was known as the most powerful talent in the field of magic: instantaneous.
Moreover, he also found that if he wanted to make his spell cast a little more hidden, he only needed to put his hands on his waist, and there would be no trace of magic fluctuations on his body, let alone the aura that was unique to the formation of magic.
"Stealth and instant!"
"Oh my God, this is simply a yin trick against the sky!"
Meng Yang himself couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that in the White Dragon Empire, once there was a Demon and Martial Dual Cultivator, he would inevitably be fiercely contested by the three major guilds immediately, and the royal family represented by Bazel would not lag behind, where was he, a small nobleman with such weak strength, the opponent of these super predators? Caught in the middle, he would either be crushed into powder, or he would become the target of a certain force's key cultivation, and he would inevitably be endlessly hunted down by other forces.
Now, he has discovered his hidden and instantaneous anti-heaven talent, and he can completely avoid the exposure of the identity of the Demon and Martial Dual Cultivators.
In front of people, he can appear as a warrior, and when he encounters a dangerous battle, he secretly releases a magic to assist himself from time to time, which can be described as unaware, and in the enemy, hidden and instantaneous, there is no trace to follow, and the yin person is no better.
Imagine that when fighting against a warrior of equal strength, when the two sides are rushing, he quietly uses a magic similar to delay, stagnation, freezing, paralysis, etc., and he only needs to win a breath or a few breaths, and he can easily kill it.
In battle, there are so many changes, who would notice such a subtle change in a breath?
Suddenly, Meng Yang's confidence in his trip to descend the dragon was greatly increased.
Over the next few days, Monyan learned a total of four spells in the mountains.
One is enhanced to level 3 "Light Spirit", one is upgraded from level 2 to level 3 "Ice Needle", one is strengthened to level 3 "Mist Shadow", and one is itself level 3 "Sand Vortex".
Among them, Ice Needle and Sand Swirl are powerful attack magic, and Mist Shadow and Light Spirit belong to body magic, Meng Yang put away the rest of the defensive magic skill books, because he knows that he has three rule suits, with anti-heaven injury-free effects and various buffs, his current magic power is only sixty points, once he wastes it on casting defensive magic against the enemy, it is not worth it. Besides, a magic skill book, thousands of gold coins, can be kept to recruit suitable magician talents in the future, and it can also come in handy.
In Meng Yang's concept, although he can only form a private army of 1,000 people now, as long as the arrow tower is built, the Qige Chamber of Commerce will send excellent weapons and equipment as promised, if there is really a strong enemy attacking, in the battle, if there are several or dozens of well-balanced magicians on his side to bless these soldiers with defensive magic, then the combat effectiveness of a thousand private troops is really not to be underestimated.
Of course, it is not appropriate to train high-level warriors and magicians for his Dragon Ruin Fort now, one will be tight on budget, and the other is that Meng Yang does not want to be too concerned and valued.
In his heart, he was very inclined to train his own magicians, warriors, and even thieves.
He had always tended to find and select talents from his slaves to cultivate, and Monyan knew that any free warrior, magician, or member of the Guild, even if they were temporarily employed, would never give up, and would probably betray them because of their interests.
But slaves are different.
Most of the slaves of the White Dragon Empire were barbarians captured from various wild places, and these people were of many races, unruly and wild. However, the three major guilds of the White Dragon Empire teamed up to create a kind of slave seal.
In fact, it is very simple, it is to use a special magic soldering iron to imprint a small dragon-shaped brand on the forehead of the captured wildling.
This is not only a symbol of slave status, but also an extremely ancient and powerful magic seal, known as the "Dragon Slave Seal" by the world.
Once branded with the dragon slave seal, the identity of the slave can never get rid of, the slave must be loyal to his master all his life, as long as the heart of betrayal is born, the dragon slave seal will be launched, and the slave will be subjected to the painful torture of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart and ten thousand ants piercing the heart, as long as the master does not forgive, the slave will die in pain and death.
Therefore, a slave can never betray his master unless he really wants to die.
Some of the slaves in the White Dragon Empire were death row prisoners who had committed serious crimes, and they were either nobles or powerful professionals before, but the laws of the empire stated that even death row prisoners were generally not executed easily, but made into slaves.
The other part was the commoners who were persecuted by the nobility or signed debts.
The largest part of the slaves were the savages captured by the various forces of the three plains who waged war or sent out slave catchers.
According to the nature of slave transactions, they are divided into two categories: one is free slaves, that is, slaves who can be sold, transferred, and changed masters, and the other is blood slaves.
Normally, slave owners rarely supported blood slaves.
The so-called blood slave is that the master of the slave with the help of the magician, his own blood drops on the slave's dragon slave seal, so that the master's control over the slave is strengthened to the extreme, as long as the slave has a different heart, the master can perceive it, and the master can decide the life and death of the slave as soon as he moves his thoughts. This is the Blood Slave.
Turning ordinary slaves into blood slaves can only be done under the condition of the third-level magic "Requiem Atomization" cast by the magician, otherwise the body of both the master and the slave will be extremely seriously damaged, and the most serious may be direct death.
After a slave becomes a blood slave, he can no longer be traded, and he can only have one master for the rest of his life.
When Meng Yang made the decision to use the White Dragon Empire as a training place, he had already planned to raise blood slaves. In the long run, it is far less expensive to select gifted people from among the blood slaves and train them than to hire freelancers or guild people.
Moreover, in terms of loyalty, the blood slave is a hundred times higher than the mercenary, and when he thinks of the bloody scenes in his memory, and the things that happened above the nine heavens, Meng Yang's heart is as hard as iron.
The Dao heart is quietly changing, and Meng Yang's heart is also quietly changing, "fighting" and "conquering" will always appear in his mind and mind, reminding him that he is swaying him, and he knows that only by becoming stronger and stronger can he get back what he has lost.
As for potential enemies like Guta and Ruta, to be honest, Mon Yang never took them to heart.
However, a conversation with Ruoyi made him feel a little more at ease, after all, in this situation, there is a powerful fifth-level magician sitting in the Dragon Ruins, which is enough to deter many people who are about to move and try to fish in troubled waters.
Although the power of using the "Emotional Death Knife Technique" with Dou Qi was not as powerful as one-ten-thousandth of that of True Force, Meng Yang still decided to use the Emotional Death Knife Method in battle, and he could also regard the battle in the White Dragon Empire as the tempering and perfection of this set of sword techniques.
To this end, after learning "Concussion" and upgrading it to level three, Meng Yang learned a new Dou Qi technique: Glimpse Floating Light.
Glimps, strictly speaking, is just an auxiliary fighting skill. This fighting skill is not defensive or offensive in itself, and its main utility is to attach it to the warrior's actions and confuse the enemy's vision.
In other words, this is similar to an illusionary Dou Qi technique.
However, Meng Yang only chose this one in the three Douqi skill books that Byron brought, because he had strong confidence in the "Love Death Knife Method", and the scene of killing the sixth-level Wind Demon Wolf with one knife in one day was still vivid, and he felt that as long as the Love Death Sword Method was combined with the Glimpse Floating Light to be displayed, it would be more unpredictable and threatening.
Meng Yang feels that greed is not rotten, industry is good at diligence, and specialization is the king. It's like a trick back then, "Chopping Wood", which still killed all sides in the Falling Soul Mountain Range.
What's more, he felt that his current fighting spirit and magic power were limited, although the rule set had a strong recovery effect, but once he learned a more advanced skill, after a skill was cast, he would fall into extreme weakness like killing the wind demon wolf that day, which was not a good phenomenon.
Back at the Dragon Ruins, Meng Yang summoned Old Ford and Andal to discuss, and deliberately walked into Ruoyi's tent under the meaningful eyes of the two unscrupulous servants and meditated all night.
In the early morning of the second day, after memorizing the map, Meng Yang rode on the iron horse with four hooves inlaid with "magic hooves" and "magic hooves" given by Byron, and left the dragon ruins to descend the dragon.
It is not a lie that an iron horse travels three thousand miles a day, and in less than half an hour, Meng Yang arrived at Yanlong City, without making any stops, and went straight from the official road between Yanlong City and Yanlong City, and rushed to the northwest direction of Descending Dragon City.
The scenery on both sides retreated like a flying back, and the iron hoofed horses galloped like the wind, and Meng Yang finally appreciated the rich and beautiful scenery of the real volcanic plain.
Although most of them are shocking, the farmland and the greenery still make him feel good.
Mengyang passed through more than 30 checkpoints, the territory of more than 40 aristocratic small lords, and finally arrived at the majestic Dragon Descending City in the early morning of the fourth day, when there were still two days before the start of the competition.
Looking at the dragon city from a distance, it looks like a majestic tiger, a large river with a width of more than 30 zhang flows in front of its south gate, and a huge stone bridge is connected to the city gate from the checkpoint in a crescent moon.
The official road has been temporarily suspended.
Before reaching the checkpoint at the head of the bridge, Meng Yang saw two tall magic arrow towers on the south gate tower of the Dragon Descending City.
"Level 3 Arrow Tower!"
Meng Yang's heart froze, he didn't expect that Abres, who had barely saved his territory by relying on the blessing of Count Amanda, would actually build the Dragon Descending City to such a scale, so he knew that maybe the magic arrow tower established by Count Amanda's Dulong City was at least above level four.
Imagine that a fifth-level arrow tower, as long as it is not a high-level warrior or a great magician, will never dare to regret the magic arrows it shoots, and low-level warriors and magicians are also in danger of being killed in seconds thousands of kilometers away.
Meng Yang, who was still a little proud because of the design of his Dragon Ruins Fort, was completely complacent.
After taking out the document and paying the toll of a gold coin, Monyan rode his horse onto the big stone bridge.
There is a huge stone tablet at the head of this stone bridge, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the stone tablet reads "Dragon Bridge" three big characters, the stone tablet is a checkpoint in the Dragon City before, Meng Yang took a cursory look, there are a thousand elite soldiers stationed here.
The reason why Meng Yang identified him as elite soldiers was because these sergeants were all strong, and they seemed to be above the second-level soldiers, and they were very well-equipped and of extremely high quality. I can't help but feel a little deeper about Ebraith again.
After entering the city, Meng Yang easily asked where the three barons lived temporarily, in the empire, nobles with titles and their own territories, even if they returned to their father's city, they could not live in their father's mansion.
Monjan asked Iniesta's address, led his horse and saw Iniesta.
Iniesta was still worried, for fear that Meng Yang would delay the fight, but he was very happy to see his arrival.
"Meng Yang, how are you preparing for this fight? My hopes are pinned on you, don't let me down. By the way, regarding the progress of your noble disc, I sent someone to inquire, everything went well, and you should be able to get your noble discs within the original date. ”
"Thank you for your concern. I will definitely do my best for this competition, please rest assured, as long as I am here, the handsome position will never be left behind. It's just that I don't know much about the details of the bucket, so please explain it to me. Meng Yang said respectfully.
