Feng Huan, who was released from prison, felt indignant.

I'm a seventy-year-old man, but I just want to be in prison for a few years.

Who wants to resurrect the kingdom of the Resurrection Kingdom's revised prison incarceration law, so that inmates must participate in high-intensity carpentry, sewing, weaving, and vegetable planting labor, the old arms and legs of the wind illusion suddenly can't stand it.

After being released from prison this time, he knew that the road of prison pension was no longer possible.

The old man sighed and looked up at the pale sun in the sky.

Since the Extraterrestrial Cataclysm struck, the world has become cold and gray, food has been decreasing, heating fuel consumption has been increasing, and everyone has been in a state of panic.

The situation in the Wind Realm where Wind Fantasy is located is particularly serious.

It is a non-productive world, extremely dependent on the import of various resources.

The Twin Snake Merchant Republic next door is dominated by money, because agriculture, forestry and mining are not very profitable, so they are not very willing to invest in these fields, while the Wind Realm has no such things at all.

The Windrun Realm is the chosen land of the gods, where elite criminals chosen by the gods or apostles are sent to be tested locally.

It is made up of trial towers, and if you can break through spell blockades, traps, and monsters in the towers, you can get abundant resources - including food, all-round stones, various equipment and items, and so on.

On the other hand, the gods have also prepared a path for non-combat specialists.

Whether you are good at stealing, cheating, eloquent, imitation, assassination, poisoning, or demagoguery, you can participate in the skills assessment. If you pass the level assessment, you can receive one year's survival resources from a specific tower.

The resources of the Wind Realm are granted by the gods, and can only be obtained by violent levels and skill assessments.

The place is sealed off by the gods, and in order to get permission to leave, you must pass an extremely difficult exit trial.

The locals call themselves "talented people".

When he was young, Wind Fantasy also mixed up in the Wind Circle, and he participated in the tour of the tower of the Breakthrough Team, and he also maintained enough competitiveness in the skill assessment.

However, this kind of life of wandering and chic, watching out for each other and stabbing each other, after decades, he feels really tired of it.

At the age of seventy, the trickster Wind Illusion finally passed the exit test and was able to leave the Wind Realm.

After he came to the resurrection kingdom, he had not lived a normal retirement life for two days, and a natural disaster struck. The sun is hidden, the darkness is overwhelming, the hurricanes formed by dust storms are raging the earth, and meteorites are falling from the sky from time to time.

There were countless sharp iron sand in the dust storm, and when it rolled at high speed, it was like a thousand sharp blades swinging at high speed, like an invisible ghost army rushing wantonly on the earth.

The meteorite is easy to identify, and its long tail of flame falling from the sky can be seen both during the day and at night. But meteorites turn into numerous fragments in mid-air, which will silently rush to the ground at high speed, and if you are unlucky, you will either die or maim if you are hit.

People wore bone helmets and minimized their activities outside the house, while further reinforcing the roof of the house and digging out the basement for more security.

There was a large influx of outsiders from places such as the Twin Snake Country and the Mystic Country, and those who did not have a fixed residence were arranged in temporary shacks. As soon as the crowds increased, these temporary shelters became cramped, stuffy, and noisy.

Feng Huan was depressed.

The old man finally broke out, ready to change his mind and live by the skills of a trickster, but I encountered this kind of bad luck. In this environment, no one watched the trick at all.

So he took a different path.

Wind Phantom went to a private house to burglarize, and was then arrested and imprisoned by agents from the police station. According to the laws of the Resurrection Kingdom, burglars are fined and imprisoned for one to five years, as well as receiving relevant education.

It's much more comfortable in a prison than in a shack!

However, soon after Feng Fan was imprisoned, he encountered a major labor reform, and criminals of all ages must participate in uniform and obey orders.

He was in pain.

If I can honestly weave and sew, do carpentry and weave, can I go to the world of popularity?

After Feng Phantom came out with a sore back, he knew that his prison strategy was no longer available. So he started searching for a suitable target.

Soon, he found a young man.

Check, the [Anvil Federation] Shortbeard Clan, 24 years old, single, beard, golden dyed hair, dreams of becoming a legendary dwarf like [Blast Furnace Stranger], a barber on the surface, and his real identity is a descendant of a dwarf Elder Ridge.

He meets the characteristics of a young man who needs to be fantastic: curious, not afraid to spend money, idealistic, and wants to prove himself.

Check doesn't pay for trimming the hair of poor refugees.

Brother Childe, helping the weak can make him feel noble and satisfied.

Wind Phantom sat in a chair, his messy hair clattered by Check's large scissors.

"Young man, I've been watching you for a few days."

Feng Fan said slowly: "You have a heart of compassion, a noble and humble soul, and you have shown me the shadow of those heroic epics that have been passed down in the past. I am very old, and it is gratifying and gratifying to see a young man like you. ”

"If you don't dislike it, I'll teach you a little trick."

The sound of scissors overhead suddenly stopped.

The young dwarf said, "Are you trying to cheat me out of money?" ”

The old man smiled: "My name is Wind Fantasy, and I am from the Wind Realm. Feel free to ask people who I am. ”

Wind fantasy is not afraid to find out.

So far, everyone who has teamed up with Wind Fantasy has died.

Some people are ready to kill each other from the beginning, some people die in the harsh deathmatch of the trial tower, and some become the prey of others when they are old, and death is the norm.

Wind Fantasy learned the spirit of wind from the older generation, coming and going like the wind, acting ruthlessly, and acquiescing to the other party's attack when he is not sure whether the other party is murdering him...... So take the lead.

When he was younger, he was different from now, stabbing knives, poisoning, and setting spell traps with a smile on his face, making sure his teammates would stay in the Trial Tower forever.

As I got older, I slowly changed.

In fact, it has nothing to do with age.

Wind Fantasy also relies on killing each other in the Wind Realm in order to live a relatively comfortable and chic life, and most of the elderly in the Wind Realm have this experience.

"The key to the trickster is to mislead."

Feng Phantom said unhurriedly: "This is the foundation. ”

"Like, look, is my hair growing?"

"How is this possible......"

Check said casually, his gaze swept away, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. Feng Fan's messy gray hair, which was originally cut off, was draped over his shoulders at this time.

"How is this done? I cut it with scissors. The dwarf looked at the cross scissors in his hand, and then at the ground—the old man's severed gray hair was gone.

"Like I just said, it's just a little trick, misleading."

The old trickster had a wrinkled smile on his face: "Why is this happening? Because your focus right now is on me and not on my hair, I can easily do some of them with some hands, simple, but useful. ”

“……”

The dwarven youth suddenly realized something, and his eyes sharpened: "I know, it's a wig, you wear a wig." ”

Then he tore at Feng Fan's hair with all his might, making the old man grin with a headache.

"Stop, stop, ......"

"It's real hair!"

The dwarf was shocked.

Then, he carefully studied the old man's hair left and right, lifted his hair to observe the scalp underneath, and tapped the skull with his fingers to make Fenghuan's face twitch.

This rich man's stinky boy!

"I'll admit that your trick did hide from me."

The young dwarf touched his beard: "But what's the use of this trick?" Isn't the Windwalking Realm cruel? If you play tricks on other people, will they give you money? ”

“……”

Wind Fantasy struggled to maintain a polite smile.

Don't get angry, don't get angry...... If it were fifty years ago, your kid would be hard by now!

At this moment, there was a trumpet sound in the street.

The Bone Knights blew their horns all the way and shouted, "It's getting dark, take shelter!" ”

Pedestrians scattered in the streets, skilfully and swiftly searching for cover and caves to take refuge.

The dwarf Chek invites the wind to his underground shelter.

Say it's a refuge, but it's more like an underground castle.

On the ground there is a spherical bunker reinforced with metal and white bone, and underneath is a palatial five-storey underground building, each with houses, promenades, pools and gardens, and even a prayer plaza dedicated to the statues of the Yao gods.

"Master."

The dwarf said, "It shouldn't be easy for you to be a trickster in the wind world, and now you're a lot older, and I just took your hair...... As an apology, you can live here first, and the food and drink will be mine. But your tricks, I'm not really interested, I'm not interested in fake things. ”

Feng Fan's prepared rhetoric was nowhere to go, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Fortunately, the goal has been achieved.

Found a money bag.

But to make the other party continue to spit out gold coins, you have to work harder.

So Feng Fantasy said: "Misleading is not false. ”

He opened his dirty burlap bag and pulled out a wooden box from inside.

There was a lot of fine sand in the box, and there were also two kinds of square stones, black and white, each of which had been polished to a well-proportioned size.

Wind Fantasy began to piece the stones piece by piece.

"A lot of things, the basis of which is very simple, like these two stones in my hand. Black represents darkness and white represents light. ”

"In this [trick box], I will have the courage to imitate the gods and try to build a world where darkness and light are bifurcated."

Wind Fantasy raised his hand and arranged the stones one by one in a specific order, forming a strange uniform pattern between black and white.

Then the old man lifted up his dry and slender hand and said to the young dwarf, "Behold, this is the time to witness the trick." ”

He gently closed the lid with his hand, opening only one closable hole in the top.

The old man gestured, "Please look at this hole." ”

Check was skeptical, but he leaned his face up, his eyes against the hole in the box.

Inside the box was a starry sky.

In the dark night-like box, there were distant flashes of stars, as if instead of seeing a small box, it was overlooking another, smaller world.

A star suddenly and rapidly increases and becomes a bright cluster of light, the moon.

In the moonlight, the sand in the box shone out.

There are many slowly growing blades of grass and trees in this world, they are all very small, but everything is so real. And among the grass, a small four-legged beast was attacking a large ant, and a fierce battle ensued.

Check was looking at it when it suddenly went dark and he couldn't see anything.

A windy voice sounded in his ears: "Because the follow-up has not yet been made, the [Trick Box] ends here." ”

The dwarven youth raised his head: "Why don't you make a follow-up?" ”

The old man did not answer, but asked, "So, do you think this is true or false?" ”

“……”

Chek was silent for a while: "It must be fake, it can't be true, only gods can create the world." ”

"You're right. The creation of the world and life is the realm of God, and no mortal can trespass it. ”

Feng Fan nodded: "But isn't the [Trick Box] real?" Isn't the trick itself there? ”

The dwarf seemed to understand something, and a pensive expression appeared on his face.

The old trickster had already seen through each other's thoughts.

Hooked, good, that's it.

"How the hell is this done? Can the trick really reach such a level of fakeness? Check looked at the trick box reluctantly.

"Absolutely."

Wind Fantasy said: "In fact, the [Spell Box] is just a very basic part of the [Spell Box Garden]. ”

"Spell Box? What is that? ”

"A very complex and special device."

The old man touched the beard at the corner of his mouth: "It looks like a trick box, and inside it will be arranged out of sand, stones, and even blades of grass to form a miniature courtyard." ”

"In this courtyard, all kinds of spells will evolve through the entire box, and there will be infinite changes. I can create the sun and moon inside, or I can destroy them and turn them into natural disasters like the outside. ”

"I can craft all sorts of lives in it - they're spell spawns, not real lives, of course, but they did exist briefly in this box."

"Of course, what I use the most is to deduce and create all kinds of spells in it. Because a spell actually requires a lot of experimentation, it is necessary to ensure its power and mechanics, and it depends on its duration, and the effect after it is instantaneous......"

"[Spell Chamber] is a courtyard of a box made of spells, in which various spells can be added, and these spells can be continuously released inside. Of course, the power will be small, but enough to be used for experimentation and disassembly. ”

"If it's used well, it's equivalent to holding thousands of spells."

Wind Fantasy smiled: "This is the source of my tricks, using spells to transform them into tricks." I kept the spell part, but the power part was removed. ”

Cheke's face finally changed, and his gaze at the old man was full of respect: "Master...... Can you show me the spell box? ”

"It's a pity that the [Spell Box Court] was stolen."

Feng Fan sighed and rubbed his fingers against the wooden box: "But I designed a trick mechanism inside, if you try to force it open, it will be destroyed." So now that I think about it, it probably doesn't exist anymore. ”

"Can you make a new one? I have everything here, metal, wood, leather, cotton and linen, all-round stone, elemental crystals...... Both! ”

Chek said heroically.

"I don't know, because the material that is the basis of the Spell Box is too unique in itself, it is the wood of a strange divine tree, obtained from an ancient altar. And I'm old, my eyes are shaking, and it's hard to make it so accurate. ”

Feng Huan showed a sentimental expression on his face, but he was laughing in his heart, you kid, you haven't been pinched hard by the old man!

Check insisted, "Then I'll do it!" Can you guide me? I will obey your teachings! Please, teacher! Let me give it a try! All right? ”

"It's rare that you have this ambition, so give it a try...... I will do my best to guide you. ”

Wind Fantasy tried to hold back his laughter.

……

One day four years later, Wind Fantasy was eating a delicious bighorn lamb roast leg of lamb with fresh grape juice and sweet cakes.

He finally lived a planned old age.

Check, with his messy hair, rushed over with a box in his arms: "Teacher, teacher! I restored the [Spell Box Garden]!! ”

"You see, according to your reminder and description, I finally added various elemental crystals to it, using the four elements of fire, water, earth and wind as the base, and in it you can mix the elemental proportions to form spells! These spells are fantastic, and they can theoretically be infinitely varied! ”

"I hired scholars from United Friendship University to participate in experiments and production, tried more than 100 boxes before and after, broke 3,000 crystal structures, sold this underground shelter, and finally got it out."

Wind Fantasy was shocked.

Crazy! You sold this house, where do I live?

"I use origami dragons as targets and test subjects, and it can clearly reflect the effects of these spells!"

"And the spell barrier you mentioned, that is, to seal the entire box in the spell structure to avoid leakage and injury, which is very difficult, I hired the researchers of the Mystic Research Institute to help with a high salary, and guess what? Lord Star Raven was very interested...... With the help of the gods, you have finally restored your great masterpiece! ”

"Teacher, you are too strong! The gods say you're an incredible genius! ”

The bearded Chek was in awe.

The Wind Phantom Man was a little confused.

He looked at the origami box in front of him, and there was an origami dragon walking around.

Check twisted a piece of the crystal outside the box, and the inside of the box suddenly ignited, burning the origami dragon black. Then he twisted another crystal, and the cold air in the box filled the box, freezing the origami dragon to the ground.

The dwarven youth adjusted the crystal knob again, so that a magnificent scene of water and fire appeared in this box, and the origami dragon was wrapped inside. This fire and water spell did not hurt the origami dragon at all, but instead formed a layer of red and white spell armor on its body.

"It's only so far, but it's going to get better and better in the future. The significance of this great invention is not only a major breakthrough in research tools, but also allows ordinary people to master and use thousands of spells on the ground. Teacher, you will definitely go down in history! Check's eyes lit up with excitement.

Feng Huan's face was calm, but he was panicked in his heart.

It's obviously nonsense, but how can a fake thing become real? The [Trick Box] is just a scene displayed by the spell scroll at the bottom of the box.

Wind Fantasy realizes that this is not an easy matter.

This is...... A warning from the gods.

The old man couldn't help but count down.

He hurriedly shuddered and prayed.

O great and merciful Yao, your faithful servant has absolutely no malice or offense against you, and I just want to find a place to retire.

Please spare me, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore......

Today's first shift, and the second shift will be resumed after adjusting the schedule.
