After dozens of days of turbulence, the dwarf tree man pulled the four-** boxcar out of the flat desert area and began to enter the undulating hills.

In the evening of the next day, Grimm in the car suddenly shouted to get out of the car for the night: "I'm almost suffocated to death!" Since leaving Hamon Welltown, we have been in the car day and night to run for our lives. I was always woken up at night and didn't sleep well. If I continue like this, I'll have a fear of sleep. In any case, you must sleep well on the ground tonight!"

Le Lin began to argue with him again: "You were the one who made the noise at the beginning and asked us to rush day and night, and now it is you who want to stop and rest." It's only four or five days away from the border of the Principality of Hereford, and it's safe to get through, so why stop at the last minute? In my opinion, wait for the border, and then you will sleep for three days and three nights. ”

At the end, he whispered a sentence: "It's best to sleep to death, so as not to upset those thief eyes!"

Grimm blushed and shouted, "Get out of the car! I want to get out of the car!" Even if I am caught and killed, I don't want to spend the night with this stinky woman. ”

Then he saw that the other party looked like he was about to draw his sword, and he took out a staff as long as an arm without showing weakness and made a spell cast. Of course, if he really fights, he will die.

Dong Hezi interjected at the right time: "Then stop and rest in place tonight, I have spent the past few days in the car, and I am also a little uncomfortable." Anyway, I've already run away, so there's no need to panic so much. I believe that those who chase us cannot be as busy as we are to travel day and night. With that, he stopped the two tall stubby treemen.

Then I heard Grimm say, "I went hunting, and I've been turning into bread for the past few days, except bread and bread." Today, let's get a few game meat to change your appetite, and you can prepare those special condiments for dinner. He slipped out of the car and into the sparsely wooded hills.

"The mage is going hunting?" Dong Hezi also got out of the car, smiled, and turned to Le Lin and said, "Why do you talk about him like that?

"Unlucky?" Le Lin still said dissatisfiedly: "There are his 20,000 gold coins on this car, if he is unlucky, what am I? ”

"But he lost his title completely. Dong Hezi said slowly: "This will cut off his future financial path, and it is equivalent to losing the important way to be promoted to a middle and high mage." As you know, it takes a lot of money to become a mid-to-high mage. Now his hopes are half gone. ”

"But I was upset when I saw his sinister eyes. Lelin said, "This kind of womanizer is really disgusting!"

Dong Hezi smiled and said, "He's a man, if he's not lustful, it's not normal." Now the pain in his heart is just like you were back then. There is no hope in sight, and life seems to be meaningless. ”

Le Lin was silent, silently sorting out her pair of short swords.

By the time Grimm had laboriously returned with a rabbit and two pheasants, the dwarf and stubby tree man who had drawn the cart had taken root in place, and had become a thick tree with open foliage, but the height remained low.

They lit a bonfire next to the caravan under the trees to make a good pot of soup.

When eating, Donghezi was still dull, but there was some tension between Le Lin and Grimm. It's just that because of Dong Hezi's existence, there is no quarrel.

So after dinner, Lelin said that she would continue to sleep in the caravan tonight. Grimm, on the other hand, bowed his head silently, and began to lay under the tree.

Dong Hezi asked curiously, "Aren't you mages having a second-order 'Magic Window Technique'? You can sleep there, why bother outside in the wind and rain?"

Window magic is to open a window in another dimension near the ground to hide the creatures inside from being affected by foreign spells. Even prophecy spells can't be detected unless they can pass through the plane's barriers.

This extradimensional space can hold up to 8 creatures. The temperature and humidity inside are very pleasant and absolutely undisturbed. What's even more interesting is that the creatures in this space are able to see the outside scene, as if they were looking at things outside through a guò window. But this window is invisible in the main material plane, and even if the creature can see the invisible window, it cannot see what is inside it. Of course, you must come out of the "window" before the spell ends, otherwise when the spell ends, everything in this dimension will automatically pop up.

As a low-level spell, it is undoubtedly the best technique of rest. It is possible to rest safely inside without being disturbed. It is definitely a must-have spell for wild adventures and travel.

But Grimm looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before he said, "I don't know that spell." ”

Dong Hezi understood, and it was not good to say anything. A mage can theoretically learn all spells, but in reality each spell is very different. It requires not only a high level of intelligence, but also a special way of understanding and habits of mind. If the way of understanding and thinking habits are not right, even if the intellect is the best, it will not be able to learn! Therefore, it is impossible for most mages to learn all the spells of their own rank. For example, there are more than a hundred basic spells at level 2 and below, and Grimm will only have twenty or thirty at most.

This is already a good learning. The same is true for other classes, Dong Hezi himself only knows some druid spells, such as "Flame Strike" he can't.

At night, the sky is unusually clear, the bright moonlight shines on the vast land, and the shadows of the trees are clearly visible. In a trance, there was a bright feeling that it was still dusk.

The bonfire next to the tree was still burning, and Dong Hezi was sitting cross-legged on one side, as if he had been standing still for a long time like a wood carving.

Grimm slept in the bunk and looked at him stunned, how could he not look at him.

"Can't sleep?" Master Dong Hezi opened his eyes at some point: "Is it too cold." "In the wilderness in early spring, the cold dew is very clammy, and it is very clammy and cold for a person with an ordinary physique. How much more is sleeping in the open air?

"Nope. Grimm rolled over and replied, "I added a 'tolerable environment' to myself, and it feels okay." "This spell protects the recipient from cold or hot climates, allowing him to stay comfortably in temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to more than 60 degrees Celsius. Neither the freezing permafrost nor the scorching dry desert can harm the recipient.

"Are you thinking about Aisha?" Master Dong Hezi asked again: "She is also helpless, everyone wants to live a better life." And she longs for that even more. Therefore, she had no way to get out of the ordinary, miserable, and hopeless life of a peasant woman except to use her young beauty to tie herself out of the hard life. Turning to Palik is her inevitable choice, there are many things in this world that we can't change, and you can only hurt your own mood if you think about it. It's better not to want to. ”

He paused, and then comforted the silent Grimm: "Besides, she is neither a national beauty, nor a person with whom you are in love. In the future, when you learn the advanced arcane arts, you can find someone who is more beautiful and suitable for you. ”

Grimm interrupted his rambling reassurance, "Not thinking about that spiller. I'm mad!"

Dong Hezi was suspicious: "Angry, who are you angry about?"

Grimm suddenly sighed again, lowered his head and said, "I'm angry with Palik. I can't figure it out, he has a fifth-order divine skill, and if he goes to a small country casually, he will be regarded as the most dazzling guest by the king. How could he have come to the position of a little baron who is stronger than me in the most remote mountains? Look at him, he has so much fine equipment with him, and those amazing high-level scrolls! If I had these things, I would have run to the countryside to buy a few small estates, raise a few beautiful girls, and have fun for the rest of my life! Why do you have to run over and fight to the death with people?"

Dong Hezi also groaned, this time the thing was indeed too weird. He felt that Palik looked very much like the big companies on the planet that were sustained by loans. On the surface, it is full of glory and rain, but in fact, it has already been saddled with a staggering debt, like a fragile but gorgeous high-rise, which will collapse at any moment and turn into a pile of dust that no one cares about. Therefore, in order to survive, they have to do some unbelievable and vicious things.

Is it the same with Palik?

Grimm continued to stare in a daze, looking distracted. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "I don't know when I will become a high mage. If you don't do it, you won't be able to make it in a lifetime. Did you know? In Giffen City, there is an old man named Wei Jinli, who has been learning arcane arts since he was thirteen years old, and he is already in his sixties this year, but he is still a second-order arcane elementary apprentice. To this day, they are not eligible to register as official mages. ”

Dong Hezi continued to comfort: "Maybe it's because he is not talented, you are still young, and you have already obtained the second-order arcane art, no matter how much you do, you will not be like him." ”

Grimm was silent for a while, and then said, "But what about the money? Now I only have twenty thousand gold coins in my hand. It's a lot for an ordinary person, but it's not enough for learning spells! If I'm unlucky, I won't even be able to be promoted to the 3rd rank! What now? It's impossible for the Baron to come back, where will the tuition fees come from in the future? Do you go around and join that kind of so-called adventure squad like everyone else? That's really, I know two clever ghosts who can use second-order spells, one is named Rodney and the other is called Geralaway. At first, they were also full of self-confidence to go around, but in less than half a year, they died and could not even find a single piece of the corpse! I'm not as shrewd as they are, so wouldn't I have died even worse?"

"There are also some people who are tricked into joining the mercenaries, thinking that they can exchange their lives for a few dollars. That's even more ridiculous! It's good to be able to support yourself, but what about saving money? Even if you're lucky enough to make some money, you have to buy those expensive spell items to save your life. In the end, the items were bought in a bunch and consumed. The money didn't make much. You say, what am I going to do now?

Seeing that Dong Hezi didn't speak, he suddenly laughed at himself again: "I think about it, I really can't do it, I'll go and be a male prostitute! Use the imperial female skills you taught me to those rich and beautiful rich women." When I was in Giffen City before, I heard that there were many young and handsome low-ranking male mages who were also raised by rich women, and the tuition fees were paid by those rich women. , I'm also looking for a few women to let people take care of them!"

He lay on the ground again and jokingly asked, "Look, with my appearance and the level of the bed, how many can I soak?"

Dong Hezi smiled dumbly: "Why do you think so again? Didn't I say it? This skill is shallow and only to consolidate the essence and reduce wear and tear to maintain the health of the body." Deep can only prolong life and cure diseases. However, it is not possible to one-sidedly emphasize its gaining effect, once it is indulged, it is difficult to contain it. Those rich women are like wolves and tigers, how many can you stop at that little?"

Grimm hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say before that you can practice to the point where you can practice to dozens of women without being defeated?"

Hearing this, Dong Hezi shook his head helplessly and said, "That's to use special herbs and 'Qi Alchemy' to cooperate. Even so, the average person has to practice for decades before they can hope to succeed. ”

Grimm stood up and asked carefully, "Can you teach me?"

Dong Hezi pondered for a while before he said, "The art of herbs can teach you, but the 'alchemy technique' can't. This skill can only be passed on to the descendants of our secret druids. ”

Although Grimm regretted it, Dong Hezi had already said this to himself several times. Originally, there was little hope, so he changed his tone and asked, "What kind of skill do you say 'alchemy' is, and why is it mysterious?"

Dong Hezi introduced a little: "The so-called 'alchemy' is not only to strengthen one's own 'Qi', but also to prolong one's life in the shallow way, to protect the body and protect oneself in the middle, and to mobilize the power of the universe in the deep. In the depths, it can even be in harmony with the universe, and there is an unpredictable power between gestures, opening up mountains and separating the power of the sea. Even I can't tell. ”

Grimm suddenly realized: "In this way, the cultivation of the Imperial Maiden Technique is only a shallow part of the 'Alchemy Technique', so how can it be done to protect the body?"

"There are many kinds of functions, and each of them has to be practiced in a special way to achieve it. I have only practiced a small part of it, which can improve the strength of the body and the resistance of the will. For example, when the enemy uses the Death Cloud Technique to attack me, as soon as he touches my body, the 'Qi' in his body will play a counterattack role on its own, as if the strength is multiplied. Therefore, the Death Cloud Technique is completely ineffective against me. If the enemy attacks me with 'domination of humans', once the magic energy descends on me, the 'Qi' in my body will play a protective role by itself, preventing it from affecting my mind, just like the ability of the will is increased several times. then the enemy's method will not work. ”

Suddenly, Le Lin's voice sounded next to him: "Then 'Qi' can also resist the priest's 'command technique'? The last time Palik used the advanced command technique to control me, a 'Qi' rose in my lower abdomen to fight against it." ”

It turned out that Le Lin didn't sleep well in the car, and was awakened by the conversation between the two. As soon as he heard Dong Hezi start to talk about 'alchemy', he raised a pair of cute pointed ears to listen to the content, because the Nine Turns of the Yi Pulse ** is also a kind of 'alchemy'.

When he heard that 'Qi' had the ability to strengthen the immunity of will, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and jumped out of the car to ask about the strange phenomenon that appeared when he fought against Palik's "command technique" that day.

At this point, she looked at Dong Haozi with hopeful eyes, waiting for him to say how to increase the Tenacity Immunity and the Will Immunity - both of which can come in handy against many spells, and if they can be learned, they can resist most spells even without Mage Resistance!

After hearing this, Dong Hezi explained frankly: "The force that rises from your lower abdomen is not 'Qi'! Because the 'Qi' I am talking about is not a physical object, but refers to the overall coordinated operation of various organs and tissues inside and outside the body, including the activities of the mind. If this function is strong, we say that the Qi is strong or full or abundant, and the weaker this function is, we say that the Qi is exhausted or insufficient. Although it is linguistically treated as a physical object, its essence is a function, not a substance. The force that rises in your lower abdomen is not 'Qi', but the ability to resist physically and mentally caused by the function of 'Qi'. This resistance is not usually manifested, but it is manifested when the 'qi' is mobilized, that is, when the various organs and tissues inside and outside the body are in a state of high coordination. ”

"Therefore, what can be felt is certainly not 'Qi'! Because 'Qi' is only an abstract function, and 'function' is not directly perceived. The only way to get a glimpse of its existence is to observe the various effects it exerts. There are many people who chase after feelings in the process of practicing 'alchemy'. Mistakenly believing that those feelings are Qi, and therefore going astray. is even crazy and confused, even inferior to ordinary people. Just because you are now practicing the Nine Turns of the Changing Pulse**, I have to remind you: don't chase feelings! Remember the truth that 'those who are Qi cannot feel it, and those who can feel it must not be Qi'. Otherwise, once you chase the feeling too much, your body and mind will be biased, and you will destroy the operation of Qi itself. On the contrary, it hinders the deepening of 'alchemy'. ”

On the contrary, if the body and mind can maintain a high degree of harmony, we are called "Qi" Wang. It is difficult for the outside world to exert any power that destroys the stability of the body and mind. This process is like the formation of a diamond. As you know, the so-called diamond is actually made from carbon powder. However, ordinary charcoal powder cannot maintain the overall coordination, so it is soft and weak. After being trained by fire and high pressure, its internal structure changes, and it can maintain a high degree of harmony with each other, so it becomes extremely stable and can be carved into gold and iron. The so-called 'alchemy' is the same in this way. Therefore, Qi is sometimes referred to as true power to highlight its immateriality. ”

Although Lelin and Grimm seem to understand whether they understand it or not, they also know in their hearts that the so-called spell is "the power to destroy the stability of the body and mind". Then alchemy is their nemesis. As long as you refine well, you will naturally be able to fight against powerful spells like diamonds!

Grimm asked again, "So, what did you just say about being able to mobilize the power of the universe when you practice to the depths? Could it be that you have formed a spell-like ability?"

Dong Hezi smiled: "It's not a spell-like ability, but a supernatural ability." ”

Grimm asked curiously, "What is the difference between the two? I've only studied spells, and I still don't know much about supernatural powers." ”

Dong Hezi responded: "According to my observation, quasi-spells and supernatural forces are both methods of mobilizing the power of the universe. But the principle of action is completely different. Hence the difference. Quasi-spells use the human soul as the core to mobilize the power of the universe and form many mysterious changes. The supernatural power is to mobilize the power of the universe with the human body as the core, and although its changes are not as delicate and beautiful as similar spells, they are more expensive than stable dìng. Therefore, spells and quasi-spells are easy to disarm, but supernatural forces are very difficult to disarm. ”

Grimm suddenly asked again, "The last time you studied the secret art behind closed doors, did you mean these supernatural powers?"

Dong Hezi didn't hide it: "Not bad." Last time, I learned some ways to mobilize supernatural powers from that stormbringer, Mukura, and found that it could be fused into another secret technique, so I studied it behind closed doors. Not only did he practice a supernatural power called Lei Gong Seal, but he also practiced several other abilities. ”

Talking about mobilizing real power to exert a "health halo".

An invisible force suddenly enveloped everything within 20 feet (about 6 meters) around him, and he introduced, "This is the 'Sanitary Radiance', which is the same as the aura of courage of the Holy Warrior, it is a supernatural force. ”

Although they were invisible, Grimm and Lelin immediately felt a sense of peace and well-being, as if they were sitting in a solid and warm castle, and the feeling of tension and discomfort was gone.

In particular, Le Lin's feeling is particularly obvious, the first feeling is similar to the spell effect of "enduring the environment", and then it is like the spell aura of "removing disease", and the third feeling seems to have the ability to "neutralize the toxicity". The three are mixed together and inseparable, and there are also some unclear effects hidden in them, which have not yet been revealed.

It reminded her of the third power that the druid had blessed himself with in the battle against Palik, the kind of power that mixed five spell effects but was not a spell, which was really strange.

At that moment, he told Dong Hezi about it.

Dong Hezi let out a faint "oh" and said, "The power you said is also my latest practice." It is shaped by the power of my true power combined with the power of heaven and earth, and has a variety of effects, some of which can be enhanced according to the needs of the recipient. If you have practiced the Nine Turns Xuangong, it should be easier to control it. When it is applied to you, it immediately merges with your Qi, so it is dispatched by Qi to strengthen the 'lucky technique' that belongs to the will and spiritual power. That's why you get rid of that command technique. If you are higher in the future, you will be able to control it independently. When you need to strengthen your senses, use all the effects to strengthen your strength, and when you need to strengthen your senses, use all the effects to strengthen your senses. And it can change at any time. Much more powerful than those single, easily dismantled spells. ”

Lelin was overjoyed and asked, "What is the name of this supernatural power?"

Dong Hezi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't have a name yet." But I'd like to use it to commemorate a special occasion. Let's call it - the blessing of the wild. ”
