According to the setting in the game in the previous life, there is an undulating sea of energy in the world, and the Eastern Zhuxia Continent is called the Spirit Sea, and those who absorb the spiritual energy in the Spirit Sea and cultivate spells are warlocks; In the West, it is called the Aether Sea, and those who absorb the Aether to cultivate witchcraft are wizards.

Spells and witchcraft, both are spells; The power cultivated by absorbing this sea of energy is all mana; Warlocks and wizards are transcendent.

The essence of the two is the same, and the difference between the two is due to the difference in civilization, race, and development of the times.

That night, the kerosene lamp in the house emitted a dim light, and the thorns washed, bathed, and meditated, slowly adjusting their bodies and minds in preparation for their first practice.

After a long time, distracting thoughts precipitated, I only felt a peace in my heart, Thorn opened his eyes, looked at the alarm clock, and saw that it was already ten fifty in the middle of the night, stood up, and slowly moved his body.

The first step in this cultivation spell is called Spiritual Qi Harmony, which is to adjust the practitioner's physical and mental state, and then establish a connection with the ever-changing spiritual sea, take on the little spiritual energy that escapes from the spiritual sea, and refine and absorb it.

The spiritual sea is everywhere and there is no trace to be found, all the time it is no longer moving according to its own laws, the ancients either tested the law, or observed the heaven and earth, and finally summarized the laws of the spiritual sea, and created various methods that conform to this law.

This method is the key, allowing the practitioner to conform to the rules of this spiritual sea, and then connect with the spiritual sea in the underworld, taking advantage of the spiritual energy that escapes from the spiritual sea without harming himself.

Therefore, the time and method of practicing each of these spells must be accurate, otherwise the slightest mistake will cause the practitioner to be like a flat boat in the waves of spiritual energy, which will be torn to pieces in an instant.

The practice of this "Kan Li, Water, Fire, and Sword Qi" is from 11 to 12 o'clock in the evening, and from 12 to 1 o'clock during the day.

Seeing that the time had come, the thorns breathed in a strange way, making various movements at the same time, and making various sounds in their mouths. The pressure on his body was very great, and he was sweating after a while, but his movements were not chaotic at all, and he still followed the steps one by one precisely.

When the last step is completed, the two kidneys are like a soup frying, a stream of heat is born from nothingness, and it keeps circulating in the two kidneys, and the thorn does not dare to slack off, this is the critical time, if the action is inaccurate before the aura is drawn out, it is nothing more than a failure in this practice, and it will take a few days for the body to recuperate; At this time, if it is not accurate, this bit of aura will quickly run wild in the body, and the practitioner will not die or become disabled.

The steps recorded in the technique are carried out one by one, and the aura quickly travels from the kidneys to the heart, and then quickly dissolves along the bloodstream throughout the body.

When the last breath, movement, and sound were all completed, Thorn only felt a shock all over his body, and his body, which was tired and painful because of long-term anti-human behavior, was instantly nourished, and a cool flow flowed through the whole body, taking away all the pain, leaving only an indescribable sense of comfort.

"This is the real cultivation technique, which is completely different from following the system instructions in the game...... It's really a life of death. ”

Thorn looked at the alarm clock, it was twelve o'clock in the night, he was sweating profusely, but his body was nourished by aura, and he only felt extremely comfortable.

Thorn Thorn's thought moved:

"System!"

A faint blue light appeared on the retina, and this little bit of blue light quickly covered the whole body, and then retracted into the retina, and lines of characters appeared.

[Name: Thorn Thorn (Lonely City)

Status: Watchmaking Apprentice (Mechanical Seminar) / Civilian

Knowledge: Clockwork Mechanics / Apprenticeship (35/100)

Fish intestine stabbing swordplay/master

Extraordinary Knowledge: Leaving the Sword Qi of Water, Fire and Water/Introductory (50/100)

Condition: Healthy

Legacy of the Past: 0]

The proficiency level of "Kanli Water, Fire and Sword Qi" is still 50, and it has not improved because of the previous practice, which is also a normal situation.

Opening the legacy of the past, all he gets is the knowledge, memory and experience of the skill, which does not mean that his body immediately has the level of the corresponding level, and the skill itself still needs to be practiced by himself little by little.

When his level of cultivation of spells exceeds the corresponding level in his inherited memories, the proficiency level shown by the system will continue to increase.

Thorn only felt extremely happy in his heart.

"Fortunately, I studied this spell for a while when I got it in the game, and I have this fifty points of proficiency, otherwise it would take at least a few years to practice just those tedious cultivation steps, and there is no guarantee that it will be successful."

In the previous game, players followed the system's prompts, and the progress of practicing spells was naturally fast, and all of them were geniuses in the eyes of the aborigines. The aborigines, on the other hand, spent years practicing the aura of the spell alone, and there were many people who were injured by the revolt of the aura during the practice, and it was not uncommon for them to die on the spot.

At this time, he was sweating profusely, and he simply went into the bathroom to take a shower, and after a burst of water washing, he walked out in his pajamas, and then fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Late at night, business district.

At this time, in the middle of the night, other normal storefronts in the business district have long been closed, but I can see that the area in front of me can be described as a street market like day, with colorful lights, red lights, and strange lights. Take a closer look, it turns out that every shop here is a tavern, a dance hall, a casino, and even a green building, among which there is a beautiful sound, and from time to time there are men and women who are looking for pleasure pulling in and out.

Under the silent streetlights on the street, there are many tricycle drivers who run the night shift, and the cars are parked nearby, and people are squatting on the side of the road and waiting quietly, they are watching the men and women coming and going with longing eyes. Whenever a high-roller with a lot of money comes out of the gold cave with his female companion by the hand, the coachmen rush over to solicit the customer.

In a short time, several couples negotiated the price with the same driver, and then got on the tricycle and drove away.

In the distance, in the shadows that the street lamps could not illuminate, several figures looked at the lights not far away, and their eyes flashed with longing.

Then they all looked at a middle-aged man who looked like a wolf barbarian.

The middle-aged man knew the thoughts of the low-level patrols behind him, and he didn't say much, just stood quietly and looked at the prosperous scene not far away.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged warlock Ding Yuanshan smiled faintly:

"Those spies are a little anxious, they even know that they are hiding in such a place, if I don't come, it would be really troublesome to take those people away without notice."

As he spoke, Si Swenwen's middle-aged man took out three boxy iron talismans from his arms, and at the same time turned to a few people behind him and said, "Don't be stunned, come and take these three secret agent cards, I want to cast a spell." ”

The spy card is the identity card of those secret agents.

Several patrolmen behind him were all dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, and one of them heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully, bent down and held his hands together, and then took two steps back slightly, standing still.

Ding Yuanshan looked at this patrol so respectfully cooperated, nodded slightly, and then stretched out his right hand to stroke the brand held by the patrol in the air, grabbed it out of thin air, and took a little breath from these secret agent cards, and then grabbed it, closed his eyes, and wiped his eyelids.

The mana in the body ran to the eyes, and when it merged with this breath, it suddenly changed. The middle-aged warlock hurriedly opened his eyes, turned around, and looked intently at the brightly lit and intertwining buildings not far away.

It was still a red light and wine green, a bizarre scene, Ding Yuanshan squinted his eyes, used enough eyesight, skipped the red men and green women and the tricycle drivers, and locked his eyes on a building.

Dongxing Casino.

The building is brightly lit and complements each other. Bustling with rich and famous ladies dressed in decent clothes coming in and out, a good gold cave that never sleeps.

In Ding Yuanshan's eyes, there were three points of white gas looming in this casino, and when he saw this, he was relieved: "Found it!" ”

He turned around and instructed several plainclothes patrols behind him:

"The four thieves found three, in the Dongxing Casino, don't move around here, when I bring those people to you, you will take them down immediately!"

"Yes!"

Several plainclothes patrolmen quickly whispered back.

————

Dongxing Casino.

Bai Mu, Wu Zhi, and Li Dong, dressed in dark tweed pants and looking like decent people, were gathering in the corner of the lobby of the casino and whispering.

The casino hall is luxuriously decorated, with a tall hall and grand entrance, round arched windows and corner stone masonry.

Li Dong shrank his head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed in the crowd of rich and famous ladies, he asked in a low voice:

"Old wolf Xiaowu, we are standing here and doing nothing? I felt that the waiters were looking at us a little strangely. ”

Wu Zhi glanced at Li Dong strangely:

"Lao Li, you are delusional, there are so many people here, we just wandered around, every gaming table has stopped to watch, who is so bored to notice that we are not gambling?"

Li Dong smiled awkwardly: "I just think it's weird......"

Bai Mu, nicknamed the old wolf, frowned:

"Lao Li, you can't help it, right? Our little money is enough for a month in this overseas business area, and I am afraid that we will lose all of our money if we dare to gamble. ”

Seeing that neither of them agreed, Li Dong could only hold back his heart and reply:

"No, I didn't want to bet, what the hell are we doing here? I'm a little sleepy right now. ”

Wu Zhi was silent for a moment, recalled the conversation he had with Wu Chang Zhang Zheng in the past, and said thoughtfully:

"Hold on, it will be fine in the future, after this time, the government can only find a needle in a haystack if it wants to find us."

"How?"

Li Dong was a little puzzled.

Bai Mu was a little helpless with this colleague, but now after all, the three of them were grasshoppers on a rope, and then spoke in place of Wu Zhi:

"Probably your Captain didn't have this concept before, and you didn't think about it yourself, so you don't know. And when there was no accident at that time, our Wu Commander Zhang Zheng mentioned something to us. ”

His eyes lowered slightly, he fell into the memory, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Of course, in fact, they are all hints, and he can't say it explicitly, we Wu Xiaosan and the monkey probably haven't paid attention to these. But Xiao Wu and I have privately pondered that it should be eight or nine or ten. ”

Wu Zhi nodded:

"That's right, in fact, we continue to be secret agents in the Red Mansion, which is a dead end in the end, and now as long as we can survive for a while, we will really escape death."

Looking at Li Dong with a blank expression, he continued:

"Don't be surprised, in fact, secret agents like us who have gone to the military, that is, there are still our files in a very few institutions in the Jinmen Division, do you guess why?"

Li Dong shuddered, thinking of some words from his former colleagues, some associations suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt a little shuddering: "The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden." ”

He muttered to himself.

Bai Mu nodded: "It seems that you have reacted, that's right, since we went to the military and became secret agents, many brothers think that they are still from the government, but in fact they are not, we are gangsters at all!" ”

Wu Zhi continued: "I went to the military register, there are very few files, and the dirty work we did was shot ten times!" The government didn't give us a promotion to the position of secret agent, no one reinstated our military status, and very few people in the government knew about our existence, all of which shows that the government actually treats us as outcasts! Even if nothing happens, the government will one day execute us along with the hooligans of the Red Turban Gang! ”

Li Dong listened to the words of the two, his heart became heavier and heavier, and when he heard the end, his heart became colder and colder, and he only felt creepy!

"The president Fang Yuanzhi still has a military membership, and he never goes to the Red Turban Tavern in normal times, and he never even shows up, but he only orders through us...... He also kept saying that if we continue to work, we can restore the military status and become the president directly! ”

After all, I have been in the dark for so long, I have taken a lot of money, and I have spent a lot of time, and my thinking has long been opened, but I just lack an introduction. He's not a stupid person, it's just that he didn't expect it before, but now once he mentions it, he instantly figured it out!

"That's right, as an agent, we have two identity tags. One piece is carried, one is handed over to the president Fang Yuanzhi, changed it one week a week, hands over the personal brand, and Fang Zhiyuan will give us his brand. Combined with some hints when Captain Wu was still there, Xiao Wu and I agreed that ......"

Bai Mu paused, glanced at Wu Zhi, and said together:

"In order to prevent the leakage of secret agents, this brand is used to track us!"

Li Dong's eyes widened at the boss, and he took a few breaths before asking: "How can you chase ...... a broken brand?" ”

Before Li Dong finished asking, he thought of the answer, and he trembled and asked himself: "Warlock!" ”

Thinking of this, his face turned pale instantly.

Wu Zhi reached out and pressed his shoulder, shook it twice, and said, "Don't be afraid! Don't forget, we change our brand once a week! ”

Bai Mu nodded: "That's right! This shows that if the Warlock wants to track us by casting a brand, it must be within seven days of the brand being handed in, otherwise there is no need to rotate at all! ”

Li Dong swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, as long as you survive for seven days, and then change your face and go incognito......"

"Originally, Xiao Wu and I were going to find a blacksmith to make an exact same brand for us and hand it in as a substitute, but I didn't expect the plan to change as fast, and that happened last night......"

Shiraki sighed, feeling helpless in his heart.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing gold-wire glasses not far away straightened his glasses, touched his ears, and walked over slowly.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Yes, yes, they are all talents!" It's a pity, it's a pity......"

The three of them only felt that a cold air rushed to their heads, and they reacted immediately! The people of the government!

Just as they wanted to shout loudly to attract attention, the three of them suddenly felt that their bodies were stiff and uncontrollable, and they opened their mouths, but they couldn't make any sound.

"Stop struggling, let's go, three agents."

Ding Yuanshan smiled slightly, and his hanging right hand pinched a strange gesture, which instantly increased the output of mana, and then turned around and walked towards the door of the casino.

Behind him, three well-dressed young men followed suit.
