Kilometers in the air.

Luke looked at the long-handled axe in his hand, and felt as if something was missing, under the control of mental power, the silver-white, dark and red axe surface spread out like flowing water, and after condensing again, in addition to the original missing moon-shaped frontal axe, there was an extra dark red fang-like thorn on the back of the axe, and the top of the axe also condensed a bright silver spike like a spear head.

That's right.

The axe surface can split people, the spikes on the back of the axe can punch holes in the head, and the spikes on the top of the axe can play with skewering.

At this time, whether it is the sharp blade of the long-handled axe or the spikes around it, it exudes a dangerous smell, and any part can easily physically overshoot the enemy.

As the handle of the axe, the [Funeral Crow] also has the effect of reducing the consumption of psionic energy (mental power) and increasing the power of spells, and Luke feels that he can maintain this long-handled axe form all day long.

Man! What you want is to last!

Luke swung his long axe a few more times, and it felt very easy in his hand.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, a fireball the size of an apple swung along the axe blade, was born from the void, and flew into the air not far ahead.

It is the "Secondary Fireball Technique" that has been built and can be released instantly.

The combination of the shaman and mage systems makes Luke's fighting style more diverse.

While he was experimenting, Harpier suddenly began to lower his height, and it turned out that he had already arrived home.

Luke couldn't get enough of it, and the dangerous long-handled axe disappeared in an instant, leaving only a wooden staff in his hand.

A crow broke away from the queue and swooped down at an accelerated pace, quickly entering Luke's room through the window.

Luke activated [Shapeshifting], and in a blink of an eye, he had returned to his bed from a high altitude, and the crow returned to the queue, and under the coordination of Halpie, he and his companions landed on the branches, street lamps, rooftops and other locations around Luke's house to start guarding.

The next few days were spent practicing fireball techniques, meditation and other daily affairs, and the [Inspiration Eye] sent by Giroba was indeed very useful, and he felt that the efficiency of meditation had been significantly improved, and it seemed that he could increase his mental power by three points in about two days.

A few days have passed, and some of the potential of spiritual power has been tapped again, and the spiritual power value has reached 208, and there are still 72 psionic points left from the current bottleneck.

At the current pace, there are less than two months left to reach the limit value.

However, after reaching the limit, it is a long time to nourish the soul with spiritual power and increase its strength.

According to Luke's upgrade speed, I'm afraid that I can't wait for the independent improvement, and there will be several more free attribute points.

That thing doesn't give birth, so it can't be left forever.

Grow stronger early, and then farm stronger monsters to move up to higher levels.

That's how we open people play.

After a few lackluster days, Luke finally remembers his loyal friend Renard.

He made a call to Daxter's house, where he had finally finished his mission and was resting at home.

Speaking of which, although Luke and he have known each other for a while and have formed a lot of comradeship, they have never been to his house, and they want to see Renard's cultivation progress.

Therefore, after hearing Dust's invitation, Luke readily agreed, and after asking for the address, he packed his belongings, stepped onto Halpier, and set off with the black and oppressive little brothers.

The Daxter home is a small, independent estate just outside of eastern Phoenix.

Luke flew for less than ten minutes before he saw the conspicuous building.

Looking from the sky, the manor is surrounded by dense woods, the main building is the center of the whole manor, it is a three-storey white building, the architectural style is unique, the white walls and gray roof complement each other, full of strong European style, the main building has a huge bell tower in the center, decorated with gorgeous clocks, it looks solemn and solemn.

The spacious lawn is paved with verdant turf, and there are a number of separate buildings on the estate, a few small buildings that do not appear to be functioning, an old stable and a small greenhouse. The buildings also exude a lot of history, but they are neatly kept, with no signs of dilapidated or decay.

As a courtesy, Luke landed not far from the manor gate and removed the staff, allowing Halpierre to fly a little farther away, leaving only a raven standing on his shoulder.

The porter of the manor had already observed the traces of Luke's landing, perhaps because he was well-informed, and was not surprised by the huge flying mount, plus Daxter should have greeted him in advance, and the porter greeted him warmly and led him into the manor.

Entering the gate, a stone path leads from the door to the interior of the manor, and you will soon come to the main entrance of the main building.

Daxter was already waiting here in advance.

Seeing Luke, he waved his hand and told the porter to go back and take Luke in himself.

Luke was slightly shocked by the luxurious manor of the Sieg family, and sighed: "Brother, I didn't find out how tyrant you were when I usually got along, but today is considered to be a long experience." ”

Dast said modestly: "They are all dilapidated houses from hundreds of years ago, and they look glamorous on the surface, but in fact, the family is unable to make ends meet." ”

As he spoke, Luke had been taken to a small reception room.

A butler-like man came over to bring the tea, and then cautiously exited the room, closing the door gently without making a loud noise.

Dast leaned back on the couch, gasped comfortably, and said, "A few days ago, there was a giant crocodile cannibalism case in Watermill Town, which killed three policemen and seven or eight civilians, and the team asked Yaska and me to deal with it. The crocodile was not difficult to deal with, but it was too much trouble to find, and we spent three days grinding at the water's edge, and finally attracted it with a cow. ”

Luke asked with interest, "Is there anything special about the crocodile?" ”

"Special. Does a special anti-beating count? "I used the Radiant Binding Circle to contain it, and then I used three AT-4s, plus seven or eight grenades, and the explosion blew up all of my circle, almost causing it to escape back into the water." ”

"And then?" Luke asked.

"Then I froze a small portion of the water on the shore with the touch of ice, and Yasca controlled the flames to burrow through the wound in its abdomen, roasting it thoroughly before it ended."

After Daxter finished talking about the recent case he had encountered, he began to ask Luke, "What about you?" Is the matter of the Seven Deadly Sins solved? ”

Luke thought about it, the person who was currently impregnated by the seven deadly sins should have died all over again, but he didn't know if the mastermind behind the scenes would create another batch.

However, it seems that not just a cat or dog can be qualified as the host of the Seven Deadly Sins, and it is unlikely that a new lineup will be formed.

After a moment of silence, he said, "It should all be settled, but it seems that there are still people hiding behind the scenes." ”

Seeing his worried look, Daxter smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Captain Albert here, Phoenix won't be in trouble." ”

"Albert?" Luke had never heard the name mentioned before.

"It's been a long time since I've seen him go all out, but there have been rumors in the team that he's broken through the boundaries of heroism and reached a higher level of exemplary rank," said Daxter. ”

"Heroes? Paragon? Dude, what is this? Luke asked curiously, "You didn't mention it to me before." ”

Dast was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Didn't I mention it?" ”

"Nope!" Luke said firmly.

Dast picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, hiding his embarrassment, and said, "Possibly. I forgot? ”

He cleared his throat and continued, "It doesn't matter much, it doesn't have an impact on combat and cultivation anyway, since I forgot to say it before, it's too late to make up for it now." ”

In a general sense, the rank of a transcendent person is generally apprentice - brave - hero - model - legend - demigod. This hierarchy has been handed down from ancient times and has been used to the present day. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and elaborated: "Apprentice level is a newcomer who has just come into contact with the transcendent world, until one of their abilities exceeds the limit of ordinary humans, they are collectively called apprentice level. ”

"For example, if the soul strength exceeds ten points, it reaches the transcendent soul; Or if the physical exercise exceeds the limit of the human body and reaches extraordinary agility and extraordinary strength, it can be called the brave level. ”

Daxter pointed to himself, "I'm a Brave Spell Messenger now, it's our family's heritage. ”

"After the Brave level is the Hero level, it requires a certain extraordinary ability to reach 20 points, and after reaching this level, just like the heroes of ancient legends, fight huge monsters, and one person can resist thousands of armies."

"Heroes are followed by exemplars, sometimes called masters, and I don't know much about the canonical level, in short, very strong. The legends and demigods after that are even more unclear, only heard that each demigod has the same power as the gods in legend. ”

After introducing this information, Daxter emphasized: "Although there is a distinction between levels, an individual's combat effectiveness is not entirely determined by rank. A trainee with a firearm may also be able to kill the Brave; A hero who is proficient in hand-to-hand combat can also kill the model of the law system when he is close to him, and at the same time, the strange objects he holds also have a great impact on his combat effectiveness. ”

After a long list of words, Daxter lay down on the couch and said lazily, "There is no missing information now." ”

Luke asked curiously, "What is the profession of that Captain Albert?" ”

"He's a warrior, a reckless man who only tempers the flesh." Dusty thought of the monsters he had smashed with his punches, and added, "But he's also a terrible reckless man. ”

At this point, Luke continued to ask a question in his heart before: "Since your family can be passed down and form an exorcism family." So, what about the people in the church? Why haven't I seen them all this time? ”

Dast was worded and said, "I don't know much about this matter, but in the first two years of the superpower resurgence, the church was very active, and there was a great tendency to re-establish the kingdom of God on earth. But it seems that a year ago, their power began to shrink gradually, until about the end of last year, the Holy See issued an order to summon most of the priests with extraordinary power back to the Vatican. ”

Luke asked, "Is something happening to the Vatican?" ”

Dast replied, "I want to know, even the President." It's a pity that the entire Vatican perimeter is surrounded by a layer of rich divine power, and no one can detect the situation inside, and the outside world is just speculating that something bad is happening. ”

"However, things have happened for more than half a year, the situation has not changed in any way, and everyone is used to it."

Well, although Daxter was well-connected and well-informed, this level of secrecy was obviously not something he could snoop on, and besides, even if he knew, with the current relationship between the two, it was impossible to tell Luke directly.

Luke thought to himself, the major events that can affect the entire church are not something that I should consider as a weak chicken at the professional level, the sky is falling and there are demigods and legends in the way, earning 3,000 yuan a month, and thinking about the Russian-Ukrainian war every day is a fart.

He turned the conversation back to reality and wanted to ask Renard about his progress.

Before he could speak, there were three knocks at the door, and the butler opened the door, and Renard walked in.

"Hey! Brothers. Renard was very excited to see Luke, "The teacher you introduced me to is really good, I have finished my visualization and started to make charms independently." ”

"Visualization" is a practice similar to the "meditation" of shamans, except that meditation is to tap into the inner imagery and there is no fixed patterned object, while "visualization" is to obtain specific power through the visualization of fixed gods or objects.

The Daxter family's "contemplation idea" is to gain the power to make magical charms by visualizing the god of craftsmen.

Renard pulled out a round white leather charm from his trouser pocket and placed it on his eyebrows, and after four or five seconds, the charm suddenly began to glow softly white.

"Fluorescent Charm! What do you think! He looked at Luke like a primary school student who had scored 100 points in the exam and presented a treasure to his parents: "The teacher said that I learned very quickly, and I grasped the key aspects of the charm very expressively. ”

Luke was really a little surprised, after all, he had the impression that Renard was a muggle with mediocre talent, even if Dust gave the evaluation of "active thinking and thinking out of the box" last time, it still didn't make Luke get rid of his impression of him, he didn't expect him to start making charms so quickly.

He asked, "Have you tested the soul strength?" How many? ”

Renard smiled innocently: "The soul strength is only 5 points, which is an ordinary level, but the contemplation is progressing very quickly, and the spiritual power is already almost 80 points." ”

Oh, it's still a little genius.

After a few more chats about the daily life of studying, Renard patted his chest and expressed his attitude to Luke, and when he finished his studies, he contracted his extraordinary charm needs, and hurriedly took his leave and went to start the daily meditation training.

Diligent people can always get the favor of God, just like the author of the part-time code word can still do the sixth day, there will definitely be lovely readers to subscribe.

Luke suddenly had some expectations for Renard's future, he was not Ye Gong Haolong, he was not frightened by the bloody reality of the transcendent world, nor was he indulged in the fantasy of supernatural ability to call the wind and rain omnipotently, but to visualize it in a down-to-earth and step-by-step manner, and improve his ability through learning and exercise.

Although he was not born with a strong soul like the inherently transcendent, with enthusiasm and hard work, he could not go further and make his place in this newly revived transcendent world.

Seeing Renard leave, Luke thought of the little experience he lacked and asked, "Is there any information about the monsters of the Transcendent Realm recently?" I can help with that. ”

Daxter stared at Luke with wide eyes, as if he were a thief who was forced to work overtime, even paying the company for overtime.

Seeing his incredible eyes, Luke said, "I've been a little idle lately, and I'm not like you, I use spells to fight, and I have to lose some money to complete an official mission." ”

It's not that you're lying down, what is the reason for taking the initiative to ask for overtime, and you're not even making up, why is a temporary worker so active!

Of course, Daxter didn't say anything about the above psychological activities, he just emphasized stiffly: "In fact, I also make money doing tasks, for example, the giant crocodile last time, its skin is a good armor material, and you can make a lot of income by picking it down and selling it." And if the body is brought back, there will be an additional official subsidy. ”

"Subsidies?" Luke asked, looking puzzled.

"yes, I. Didn't mention it again? ”

"Of course you don't!" Luke responded in a loud and unequivocal voice.

Ahh

Dast smiled wryly and said, "Although the Lighthouse Nation is basically autonomous in the states, there are some unified policies. For example, it is possible to send the corpse of a killed monster to a place where there is a port of Eniaq, and it will certify it, and then give a certain subsidy according to the strength of the monster, which is also a general measure to encourage extraordinary people to actively kill extraordinary monsters. ”

Fuck you!

Don't say it sooner!

How much I lost!

Looking at Luke's unkind eyes, Dust defended, "I was going to tell you once, but I forgot about it. ”

Daxter's image of a reliable big brother quietly collapsed in Luke's heart, and he was directly transformed into an unreliable and innocent middle-aged virgin.

Sure enough, the forest was big, and there were all kinds of birds.

But thinking that this old brother's family is also a traditional Catholic faith family, and there is no premarital star behavior, I can only say. It's also normal.

In this place of Lighthouse Country, the people who are open are really open, and the silver is constantly lying down.

Conservative people are also really conservative, and chastity is still the traditional concept of quite a few old-school families.

Luke wanted to fake some more treasures, but thinking that after beating the human centipede last time, Dast did not hesitate to hand over a life-saving charm to himself, and he sighed in his heart and stopped pursuing it.

Daxter also quickly changed the topic, and said along with Luke's initial question: "There are indeed two transcendent monster missions in the team, one is relatively remote, and the other seems to be hidden, and the harm is not very great at present, plus there is a shortage of manpower, so it will be put on hold for the time being." If you are interested, I will call and take the task next, so that in addition to the subsidy, you can also receive a reward for our team's own mission, and I will give it to you when the time comes. ”

Luke borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and asked, "What kind of monsters are there?" ”

Daxter thought for a moment and said, "It looks like a fly monster is hiding, I mean, according to eyewitness accounts, he looks like a big fly in human form, covered in bulging pus and disgusting flesh. However, it is not very aggressive, and chooses to flee directly after encountering witnesses. ”

"The more remote one is a mining town in the northwest of Phoenix, where there is information that some giant spiders have appeared, killing two residents. However, according to the reaction of the local police, they are all ordinary mutant varieties, and they can deal with it with guns, so the team has not sent troops to support for the time being. ”

Fly man and spider monster.

Luke's brain begins to diverge. I don't know if the fly people will be restrained by death when these two meet, after all, it is the nature of spiders to eat flies.

He thought about it, and if something like a fly man hid in the sewer or a garbage heap, whether the crows could find it or not, it was really disgusting. It's the same when it comes to fighting, the other party can't hurt himself, and he can't splash his own slime.

And according to Dust's intelligence, it's not aggressive, maybe it's a monster mutated by humans, and it still maintains human sanity, such a monster should be considered a mutant, and it's a bit rash to kill it directly before it is discovered that it is attacking humans.

On the other hand, the big spider, a pure beast, has no reason and human thinking, and has a history of hurting people. The most important thing is that living in groups and having a large number should be able to brush up on a wave of experience points.

If you don't make a wave, it's really intolerable.

After making up his mind, Luke said to Duxter, "Choose the big spider, I have dealt with a vampire spider before, and I have experience in killing this one." ”

Dast readily agreed, dialed the brigade directly, and took over the task.

Luke visited Renard on this trip, gained new knowledge of the transcendent world, and also got a new position for the ship to farm, killing three birds with one stone, and the goal has been exceeded.

He found a map and asked Daxter to indicate the exact location of the mining town with the Great Spider, and offered to say goodbye.

Just as he was about to walk out the door, Dast grabbed him again and asked, "When are you leaving?" Where to meet? ”

Luke was confused and said, "You're going too?" ”

It's like a college student who wants to go to the library for self-study, but his salted fish roommate says wait for me.

It's not the final exam yet.

Dast said: "No matter what I say, it is also my task, and I don't worry about how to let you go alone." ”

Luke thought to himself, you can pull it, I'll go alone, there is displacement, there is a flying mount, you can attack and retreat, you can defend.

Take you with you, if you encounter danger, you may be embarrassed to run away by yourself, and you have to worry about being robbed by you, so you should honestly take a vacation at home.

He refused Dust's request to go with him, and seeing that he was very firm, Dusty stopped insisting, and took out a golden charm from his treasure bag and stuffed it into Luke's hand.

"'Gabidini Shield', you've seen the effect, although it's unlikely to be used, but just in case. Combined with the 'life talisman' I gave you last time, it's foolproof. After speaking, he emphasized: "The validity period of these two charms is still three months, and they are only triggered once, which is equivalent to disposable, not to use it indiscriminately in times of crisis, it is very expensive." ”

Luke nodded, the appearance of the elder brother giving the gift was really reliable and kind.

He put away the charm, waved goodbye, and rode out of the manor on Halpiere.

Wow, it's so hard to stick to the sixth day, it's really spicy to be able to stick to the sixth day!
