Chapter 226: Finding the Mark

"Turning into a dragon? And this good thing! ”

Gong Er blurted out, Grindelwald lowered his head very vaguely, although he didn't want to become a dragon, but he didn't think that becoming a dragon was a bad thing.

Whether in the East and the West, whether dragons are described as good or evil, there is one thing in common. That is, in any mythology, the dragon is a powerful symbol.

Lani looked at Grindelwald and then at Gong Er, and then set her eyes on Yu Hongshi.

Gong Er was at a loss and didn't understand what it meant, but Grindelwald was jumping wildly out of his eyes, enough experience for him to understand what Lani meant, sometimes the contempt in words and actions is not hurtful, and the complete ignorance is even more maddening.

In the past, when Grindelwald was at his loudest, he didn't have to hurt people with words, but completely ignored them. There is actually an advantage to this, those who do not have strong self-esteem will not be hurt, as for those with strong self-esteem...... As long as there is no psychological problem, people will not care too much, at most they will be angry, because to put it bluntly, ignoring it does not mean malice!

It's just that...... He has never been ignored, how to say that we are also the strongest dark wizard in history, even if the current Dark Lord is compared to his peak, it is not known. Outcome...... Ignored now?

Yu Hongshi didn't care about Lani's ignorance of the two of them, because he knew Lani's thoughts, he was a top student in school when he gave lectures to people, but when he heard that others didn't even memorize the basic formulas, he also felt like this, and he felt that the level was different, not all the way.

"Being a dragon is powerful, but it also represents the end of the path, and ...... It's ugly! ”

“……”

Yu Hongshi rolled his eyes, thinking that you could say something constructive, but this is the reason?

However, this topic aroused the interest of Grindelwald and Gong Er at the same time, the former waved his staff, and suddenly a phantus appeared in the air, a brown dragon roaring wildly, and the human was only up to his ankle in front of it.

"Although it does not conform to human aesthetics, it is not ugly."

Gong Er refused to admit defeat, reached out and took the pencil and paper, and what he was swooping out was a burst of sketches, and the same dragon jumped onto the paper. After that, he showed it to everyone with pride!

Yu Hongshi almost laughed, "Let you draw a dragon, it's not a big snake!" ”

Gong Er was disdainful, "Dragons are very ordinary, you can see them anywhere, it's not cool at all." ”

Lani looked at the phantom in the air, "General." ”

Look at Gong Er's painting again, "The road is going astray, but it is also quite distinctive." ”

The two didn't understand, but Yu Hongshi was slightly shocked, "Gone astray?" So the Yaki Orochi is too...... Seekers? ”

Lani looked at the sketch of the Yaqi snake with interest, the whole painting style is a bit close to Hong Kong comics, it looks scary, I didn't expect Gong Er to have this hand.

"This is obviously a seeker who also cultivates the Hundred Phases of the Flood Desolation Dragon, and the strength of his cultivation is already very high, and he does not have the problem of dragonization, but ...... Obviously, the strength of the soul has been seriously infected by the rules, and there is a problem of losing oneself. Therefore, in order to resist the erosion of rules, he developed schizophrenia. ”

"Schizophrenia?" Yu Hongshi looked at the eight heads of the Yaqi Snake, "Schizophrenia to the point that the body has mutated?" It turns out that the Yaki Orochi was not born with eight heads, but ...... Sick? ”

Lani nodded as a matter of course, "Isn't that normal?" What creature is born with several heads? Even if there were, it was because their ancestors were sick, and then passed down the symptoms in the form of blood! ”

Yu Hongshi opened his mouth to look at Gong Er, and the two former scholars were silent.

Just listen to Lani continue to popularize science, "The rules are very erosive for the body and spirit, and the symptoms are that the physical mutation begins to approach the dragon body, and the mental problem is reflected in the gradual loss of emotion and the existence of the walking dead, and has been acting instinctively. Some seekers have escaped the alienation of the body, but it is difficult for them to escape the influence of the rules on the spirit, and in order to resist this influence, they will resort to the technique of substitutes to delay time. ”

"What is a stand-in technique?"

"It's to copy your own mental fluctuations and memories, mislead the rules, and let them influence the replicas. When the replica is completely an emotionless walking corpse, then make another replica and repeat the previous process. ”

Yu Hongshi understood what she meant almost instantly, "Active personality splitting, and then because the sub-personality is affected by the rules, it will not compete with you for the control of the body, and you can avoid the rules, this way is not bad!" ”

Lani looked at Yu Hongshi, "The advantages you mentioned are all there, but this method is a trick after all, and it also has side effects. For example, the Yaqi Snake you saw, his split personality has affected the body, causing the body to mutate and become multi-headed. ”

Yu Hongshi's brows tightened, and he couldn't help but shudder when he imagined that he had several heads.

"The road to seeking the Tao has never been an easy road, if you want to resist physical mutations, you have to ensure your condition, and if you are too injured, you are likely to be taken advantage of by the rules. Although resisting mental mutation is not as violent as the body, it is a long-term and torturous process. Sometimes you lose your feelings before you know it. ”

Yu Hongshi hurriedly asked: "What is the correct way to resist the spirit of the rules?" ”

"Feelings!" Lani glanced at Yu Hongshi deeply, "I don't know what is going on elsewhere, but I just use my feelings to resist the infection of rules." We will set a partner for ourselves while embarking on the path to godhood, snuggle up to each other and support each other! ”

Yu Hongshi is a fierce spirit, so that's it!

After listening to Lani's explanation, he suddenly understood some of the reasons for the formation of the special rules of the Ring World.

The reason why the Ring World is a configuration of one god and one king is to resist the influence of the rules and prevent yourself from becoming the walking dead.

Lani didn't know what Yu Hongshi was thinking, she picked up her wand again and swiped it in the air, and even made a phantom, in the phantom was a huge city, and in the middle of the city lay the corpse of a giant dragon, the whole body had shown white stone, but the huge size made everyone feel shocked in an instant.

It's too big! If the dragon in Grindelwald's Phantom is a normal Transformer, then the dragon in Ranny's Phantom is Gatanjee!

"Are your dragons that big?" Grindelwald's eyes widened, feeling that the three views had been reshaped. No wonder they are so strong, look at what kind of dragons they are facing, and all of them are facing me here...... It can only be said that it is a lizard!

Unlike Grindelwald, Yu Hongshi's surprise was not that the dragon was big enough, but that she was amazed by Lani's talent, she didn't know the magic of this world before, but now she watched Grindelwald perform it once, and she learned it?

"When you said about turning into a dragon, did you mean turning into such a behemoth?" Grindelwald swallowed, if he became such a strong creature, then he could accept not to be human.

Lani shook her head, her mischievous eyes flashing, "Humans have become such dragons!" ”

The wand changed, and it was an illusion again, and I saw a huge black lizard crawling on the ground roaring and screaming furiously.

Its head is very similar to that of a dragon but it is more sleek, its face is covered with black overlapping triangular scales, and if you look closely, it also has a presence similar to a bat's wing on its back, but its relatively bloated body is very small, as if it has not degenerated completely, and it is useless to keep it.

The most interesting thing is that it also holds a huge scimitar, and the surface of the scimitar is also filled with black stones, and it looks ugly.

"Hey, it's really ugly, I can't bear it!" Gong Er commented so, and at the same time × the entry 'Hundred Phases of the Flood and Wilderness Dragon' in his heart, not to mention that he didn't embark on this road, even if he really had this road to go in the future, he wouldn't take it!

Yu Hongshi looked at the illusion above his head, and suddenly found Hua Dian, "You dragon-turned people...... Is it all like this? Nothing else? ”

The angle of this question was a bit strange, but it made Lani stunned for a moment, looking at the illusion she made, "Indeed, all the dragonized people have become like this, as for why...... Maybe it has something to do with the way I cultivated this path! ”

If you want to say this, I'm not sleepy!

Yu Hongshi suddenly came to his senses, according to the slug's words, although he has embarked on this road to become a seeker, but in fact, the whole person is still ignorant, and he doesn't know how to go next, and now he hears that there is a specific method in another world, how can this not make him excited.

However, Yu Hongshi still behaved calmly, "It seems that each village has its own tricks, let's talk about it, what's special." ”

Lani looked at everyone, Yu Hongshi didn't care, Gong Er didn't mean to take this path at all, Grindelwald may be curious but he can't get to the Ring World at all, and this news doesn't seem to be so valuable.

Lani paused for a moment and continued, "There are two kinds of magic in our place, one is based on rules, studying the essence and deriving all kinds of magic. The other is the magic that is developed by believing in certain gods, praying to specific gods, and using gods as a bridge to study the rules, which we call prayer. ”

"What's the difference between magic and prayer?" Grindelwald couldn't have been more curious.

Lani swiped her wand in the air, and two visions appeared in the air, with a cloud obscuring the sky on the left, and the sun's rays shining softly through the clouds. On the right, it's a sunny day, and the sun is shining directly on your eyes, which is a little hot and harsh.

"The sun is like a rule, and looking directly at the rule makes you feel harsh and hot. There is no such danger with God as a bridge. But the side effect is that if God forsaken you, you won't have to pray. ”

Yu Hongshi glanced at the two illusions in the air, "The kind that turns into dragons, is it magic or prayer?" "Actually, he knew that the thing in the Ring World was called the Dragon Prayer.

Sure enough, I heard Lani speak, "In my place, this cultivation method is called dragon prayer, but it is different from magic and prayer in the ordinary sense, other prayers are based on a specific god as a barrier, and dragon prayer because the dragon god is gone, so cultivators have found another way." Engulf! ”

"How?"

"This is a way to use the abilities of other desolations to walk the path of the dragon, by devouring the heart of the dragon, to gain the power in the dragon's bloodline, so as to perform prayers. Devouring ability is a regular ability that almost all Hundred Phases of the Desolation Path possesses, but the only one that can use Devouring to achieve a special purpose is the Hundred Phases of the Desolation - Devouring Heaven. I'm not sure if it's because of any conflict between the two paths, or for whatever reason, but in my case, if I devour the dragon's heart too much, I'm at risk of turning into a dragon! ”

Yu Hongshi rolled his eyes vaguely, who asked you this, I was a full-level bucket number back then, and I still don't know how to learn how to pray for dragons?

Yu Hongshi coughed lightly and asked casually, "Do you pray?" ”

"Yes."

"Let's take a look!"

Lani paused for a moment but didn't move, "I'm too far away from my hometown, and it's a bit difficult to cast it empty-handed, so I need the cooperation of the imprint." ”

"What is a seal? Similar to a wand? Grindelwald looked at the wand in his hand, although it had been selected by Ollivander, he was not satisfied.

Lani turned her wand around with her wand in her hand, "Prayer is different from the way this world is used, the role of prayer is to help you better communicate with the individual gods of your faith, and then it will be easier and even more intensive to attack. On my side, because the mental power is easier to get out of the body, we can use the spirit to lock directly, but it is difficult for the mental power here to directly break away from the shackles of the body, so we need a magic wand to help guide the magic power and lock it. ”

Grindelwald suddenly didn't mind when he heard this, he actually had some suspicions, these three people should not belong to the wizarding world, but it was not certain where they came from for a while. However, this so-called sigil does not sound like a wand, so I don't care.

But where will Yu Hongshi let the topic end so simply?

"It's not necessarily that the sigil can't be used in this place, such as some large-scale attack prayer or magic that doesn't need to be locked, if it can have a corresponding reinforcement effect, it will also be very powerful."

Lani looked at Yu Hongshi strangely, she is not stupid, how can she always cue the topic?

"You...... Want to learn how to make an imprint? ”

Yu Hongshi looked dispensable, and brought the actor's acting skills to the extreme, "Oh, last time your brother killed Ordovician when he hung up, and comprehended a trick The Tail of the Furnace of Hundred Phases, I don't know how powerful it is." ”

Lani suddenly didn't seem surprised, "The Hundred Phases of the Crucible is actually a kind of prayer that imitates the Hundred Phases of the Flood, and it is a very general, very basic prayer. It was the Crucible of Life that first created the Crucible of Prayer, something similar to the will of the planet, which mimicked all life, and finally began to follow the path of the Hundred Phases Tree from the many choices, but alas...... In short, the Furnace Prayer is suitable for almost all the paths of the wilderness, after all, who doesn't have a tail! ”

Yu Hongshi looked like he had been taught, this information was not something that could be known in the game, "Then what kind of mark will you make the method?" ”

"The key to a seal is to be able to communicate with the god you want to believe in, but the seal itself is separate from the faith."

"Huh? What does that mean? ”

In other words, the imprint is actually a kind of embodiment of the transformation of rules into graphics, that is, the use of special patterns to represent rules. When you activate the imprint, it's like facing the rules! Faith is your own spiritual sustenance, only when you truly believe in a certain god, and then use the seal, that god will help you cover up the harm caused by the rules. Because of this, different seals can actually use different prayers, because the abilities depicted on the seals are often very common. For example, for example, the power of lightning, many prayers of faith have similar powers, but that power is only strengthened if you use the prayer that the God you believe in. ”

Yu Hongshi understood what she meant, "That is, I don't have a god of faith, it doesn't matter, didn't you say that the tail of the furnace is a very common prayer, and you don't need to believe in anyone." ”

Seeing that he insisted, Lani didn't stop him, and continued, "Yes, you don't mind." However, special materials are also required to make the sigil, taking the dragon prayer as an example, the dragon's blood is required to make the dragon sigil, and the corresponding materials are also required to make other sigils. There are no materials here, and I don't know if other materials can replace them. ”

"Dragon's blood can be bought on the black market, but I'm not sure if the dragons here are any different from yours." Grindelwald interjected.

Gong Er turned his head in surprise, "Dragon's blood is not forbidden to be bought and sold...... Well, it seems the same everywhere. ”

Yu Hongshi raised his eyebrows and got up again, "Gong Er is honest and takes care of the house, let's go to the black market, and Lani will also come along, you can tell me directly there if the dragon's blood is useful, don't spend money in vain." ”

Gong Er was a little eager to try, but he didn't force himself to see the excitement, Grindelwald was very excited, he hadn't been to the black market for a long time after he was released from prison, and he didn't know if there would be any changes in decades.

Yu Hongshi looked at his virtue and couldn't help but remind: "Did you read the newspaper in the morning?" ”

Grindelwald looked at him puzzled, "I ordered the newspaper, and there will be a special owl to deliver the newspaper every day in the future, today...... I didn't see it! ”

"You're wanted, and the newspapers say you've killed dozens of Aurors in a frenzy."

"You killed it!"

"Huh!" Yu Hongshi stretched out his hand to put on the cloak, "I don't carry this pot, my control of my attacks is perfect, unless there are enemies who want to use the death curse on me, otherwise I will keep the rest of the Aurors, and I will kill more than a dozen of them when I am full." ”

Grindelwald snorted a little amusedly, "Looks like the Daily Prophet is starting to talk nonsense too." Saying that, he took the cloak handed over by Yu Hongshi, more is better than less, now is not the time for him to show his face.

The three of them wrapped themselves tightly again and went out at night, in fact, the so-called black market was in Tumbledown Alley, not far from Diagon Alley, and they needed to pass through a gloomy alley.

Grindelwald seemed to miss it very much, and Yu Hongshi and Lani felt very dirty, and the stone walls on both sides rolled to the side, and it was inevitable that dust would fall between the frictions, which was very annoying.

When you enter Tumbledown Alley, you can feel a dark negative energy, which makes Lani and Yu Hongshi, who are sensitive to soul power, very uncomfortable, "Hmph, the disadvantages of black magic are quite big. ”

In this world, the use of black magic will affect the mind, in the logic of Lani, it is the influence of rules on people's spirits, the more black magic is used, the more people will be cold-blooded, and treat human life as nothing. As for white magic or some special effects, it's probably due to the difference in the path designed.

In short, the exploration of rules is endless, and Lani is quite interested in this now.

"It's been decades, and it hasn't changed, hum, I don't know how to make an enterprising wizard!"

Grindelwald felt that he could read the newspapers in prison, that the Muggles had landed on the moon, and that the wizards couldn't even solve the effect of the moon on the werewolves.

Yu Hongshi didn't bother to take care of him, and looked left and right while slowly moving forward, Tumbledown Alley was worthy of being a black market, and most of the items sold in it were black magic materials, such as withering human heads, huge spiders, and severed hands that could still move, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Grindelwald led them into a shabby-looking store, with two gatekeepers in dirty robes at the door, like barkeepers.

"This is the member's ......" The two gatekeepers saw Grindelwald coming over and were about to stretch out their hands to stop them, but they were directly stunned by Grindelwald's eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Hongshi hurriedly lowered his cloak and then put on Zemor's pure love mask, and Lani followed suit.

"It seems that your majesty is still there, and you can come in just by brushing your face."

Yu Hongshi's teasing didn't make Grindelwald feel good, but instead let out a long sigh, "A new generation of people has replaced the old, and they know me, which means that the Ministry of Magic has come here to look for me." Hehe, it seems that the owners here are not the ones they once were, otherwise they wouldn't care about the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Oh? Are you still afraid of the Ministry of Magic? ”

"I'm not afraid, it's just that it's annoying to be hunted by them all the time, after all, I've found something interesting."

Yu Hongshi sneered, "Let me guess, what's the funny thing, eh, that boy?" ”

Grindelwald smiled but didn't deny it, but began to make an introduction, "The stretching spell is used here, and it looks like a palace inside. At the same time, this is a membership system, and only pure-blood wizards with family backgrounds are eligible to enter, or if you have a pure-blood wizard recommendation, you may also be able to enter here. Here you can buy almost anything you can think of, but the price you need to pay will be high, and here you only guarantee that there will be no internal fighting, and after leaving the palace, life and death will be life! ”

"Yes, fair enough!" Yu Hongshi's voice was indifferent, and the murderous aura on his body began to bloom without restraint, this is a very mysterious temperament, far from being comparable to using the Death Spell to send green light to kill.

The reason for this is very simple, it is to solve some unnecessary troubles, such as some down-and-out nobles who want to come and pit people, or some Defence Against the Dark Arts professor with a face on the back of his head.

I'm basically sure it's not the same strain as my old father, but it seems that mine is more poisonous, and he has a problem with his sense of smell, and I'm fine
