Chapter 5: Practitioners
After Lu Ming and Siliul left, Robin avoided Clark and Vivier and went to the bedroom alone, pulling out a gray column from his chest with intricate patterns carved on it.
It was a magic device, a set divided into two, Robin used her mental power to engrave what she was going to teleport, and a red magic circle was generated above the cylinder, and a magic eagle was drilled out of it.
The eagle immediately flew out of the window and quickly flew south, where the other half of the magic device was located.
Lu Ming wanted to buy two horses, he felt that the walk was too slow, and he couldn't wait to arrive at Hardy Academy early to study. Siliuer has no objection to this, he will follow Lu Ming's choice.
Lu Ming and the others walked through the streets, and there were not many pedestrians in the streets during the day, they all had their own jobs, and they began to be lively at night.
While walking around the corner of a street, Lu Ming came across a building that excited him.
It was the Temple of Love, and the Temple of Love existed before the age of the gods.
There is no such thing as "Eros", but it is made up of many free women who do not have the protection of their husbands or do not want their husbands, and in ancient times they had to sell their bodies without the protection of their fathers and husbands.
And they think that when they are doing 'that', when they are most excited, their brains are blank, and they are closest to the gods, so they worship Eros as their own faith, thus forming a religion.
Everywhere there were women who had difficulty living, and so the Eros cult developed. Up to now, there are temples of love in the large cities on the three major human roads, and they have developed their own culture and power, becoming the fourth large organization outside of the three major chambers of commerce.
Lu Ming really wanted to go in and have a look, he wouldn't really go in and do anything, but he was very curious about this place, it was an existence like a green building in the Qianyuan Continent.
When he was very young, he heard Uncle Wang in the village say, "When my uncle earns money in the future, I will go to the Qinglou in the city to visit him." Lu Ming clearly remembered the look of infinite longing on Uncle Wang's face at that time.
But Lu Ming didn't go in, because he knew that the consumption inside was not low, and now there was only one gold coin left in his hand, so he began to regret that he didn't leave a few more just now.
Siliul didn't even look at it, and all that was with him was the sword in his hand.
When you arrive, the horse market becomes lively, and there are many people who come to ask for prices or buy and sell in front of many shops.
The shops in the horse market are very special, even simple, most of the area of a store is a mount display area, surrounded by a fence, you can clearly see the appearance and health of the mounts, the storefront is only a small part, often there is only one boss plus one or two servants.
The horse market is also divided into two areas, one is the normal mount area, and the other is the magic mount area, and the magic mount area sells mounts equipped with magic devices, which are engraved with magic arrays that assist in attack, or assist in defense, or help accelerate, or help bear loads.
Lu Ming looked at the only gold coin left in his hand, and thought of the high cost of the magic mount, so he had to walk towards the ordinary mount area.
There are a variety of tamed mounts, the most common being horses, but there are also a small number of Warcraft mounts.
If humans are the most numerous higher creatures in this world, then Warcraft is the most numerous creatures in this world.
Generally speaking, in an area that originates thousands of miles, only a quarter of the area of human activities is located, and the remaining areas are deserts, swamps, mountains, and primeval forests, which are difficult for humans to inhabit, and there are a huge number of demonic beasts in it.
Ordinary humans are no match for Warcraft at all, and even if the strongest of the human race wants to hunt Warcraft, they will generally choose to go together.
And the reproductive ability of Warcraft far exceeds that of humans, such as the low-level Warcraft Tooth Mouse. A female rat can give birth to ten cubs in a month's time, while her lifespan is ten years, which means that it can give birth to more than a thousand offspring.
But fortunately, this kind of Warcraft has many natural enemies, and it is easy to be hunted and killed for food, so it is difficult to live for so long.
Most of the intelligence of Warcraft is very low, and lord-level Warcraft with high intelligence will generally choose to defend their own territory, and will not choose to actively attack human cities, and will only choose to attack when humans enter their own territory.
Warcraft mounts are scarce in the horse market, and generally new Warcraft mounts will be sold out in less than three days, at this time there are two trained earth dragons in the horse market, which are displayed in the largest fence for guests to watch and check.
The Earth Dragon is a common low-level Monster mount, and the adult Earth Dragon is two meters tall and seven meters long, resembling an oversized lizard. The head has no horns and belongs to the herbivorous type of magical beast. It has strong stamina and a lot of loads, and is generally bought by caravans to carry goods, and can also be used for long-distance travel.
The reason why the Earth Walking Dragon has the word dragon in its name is said to be because it is a descendant of the dragon family, and the blood of the dragon family flows in its body.
Dragons are good at fornication, so they have many different kinds of offspring, some of which are still retained with the passage of time, as strong as dragons, while others are diluted and weakened over time, such as the Earth Dragon.
In fact, the power of the Earth Walking Dragon is huge, and it can already be included in the category of intermediate magical beasts, just because the Earth Walking Dragon is docile and will not attack others, so it is included in the low-level magical beasts.
Lu Ming looked at the two earthly dragons, he was not interested, he didn't like huge and slow-moving creatures, so he walked to a shop selling horses.
There are two kinds of horses here, one is the ordinary horse, which is extremely common on the mainland, and the city of the earth is adjacent to the Daur grassland to the south, which is rich in horses, so the price of horses is not high, and each horse sells for only five silver coins.
There are also three wildebeest in the store, which are also low-level magical beasts, taller and more robust than ordinary horses, and have an extra horn on their heads.
Said to be the offspring of unicorns, wildebeest are extremely aggressive and difficult to tame, and only seasoned mercenaries will hunt them. The wildebeest is very popular and expensive, selling for two hundred gold coins each.
Lu Ming bought two reddish-brown ordinary horses, and the boss was very enthusiastic, although Lu Ming did not have a high consumption, he still entertained and sent Lu Ming and the two away.
Mounts are not allowed in the city of the earth, this is the rule of almost all cities, for the convenience of law and order. Generally, the nobles in the city have the privilege of riding mounts, but there are no nobles in the city of the earth, and even the city lord is only an elder on the holy mountain.
The two quickly left the city and rode on their horses on the road to Hardy's Academy.
Lu Ming had practiced the spirit animal trick and had a close connection with animals, although it was the first time to ride a horse, he quickly became handy and skillfully manipulated the reins.
And Syrul still looked indifferent, as if there was nothing to bother him with.
Lu Ming rode his horse excitedly, turned his head to Siliuer and said, "Siliuer, Grandpa Allen told me that from now on I can ask you some questions about cultivation, you can tell me about it." ”
Syruel thought for a moment and said slowly: "In the ancient era, before the age of the gods, swordsmen had appeared, but they were not as powerful as they are now. At that time, people had a difficult life, and even the Grand Duke had to rely on the fireplace and hold the dogs for warmth in the winter. ”
"It wasn't until the Goddess opened up the human gift that a great prophet discovered spiritual powers, and this great prophet was called Anthony. He discovered that spiritual power can increase the strength of warriors, and through spiritual power, the existence of elemental power can be perceived, and then fighting energy and magic are born, and people become more powerful. ”
Then another great prophet, Dalaran, appeared. He invented the magic device, which refers to the role of a magician who depicts a magic array on a specific object and controls it with mental power to achieve immediate and continuous magical effects. As a result, people's lives have become more convenient. ”
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but admire a little, "These two people are so great, they have actually promoted the progress of the entire human race." ”
Syrul nodded and continued: "There are two kinds of cultivators, one is the swordsman, who fights through swift speed, great strength, keen perception, skilled sword skills, and the use of fighting spirit and spiritual power. ”
"The other is the magician, through the perception of the magic elements, using mental power to arrange and combine the magic elements they perceive and guide, to achieve the effect of releasing magic. ”
"And the magic array is the form in which the magician combines and arranges the magic elements through spiritual power and magic power and engraves them into a 'array'. The magic circle is two-way, and after the drawing is completed, one direction can input mental power and magic power to replenish energy or open the magic array, and the other direction is responsible for releasing magic. ”
"Because of the existence of magic devices, magicians have another way to make their own magic devices and sell them to people or shops. ”
"The battle of a mage is also varied due to the variety of magic, and a strong mage can play a vital role on the battlefield. Every high-level mage is a valuable asset to the country, but in reality the number of high-level mages is very rare. ”
Lu Ming smiled and said to Syruer: "You seem to say very little to the swordsman, but a lot to the magician?"
Siliul replied: "I am a swordsman, so I know a lot, and I can summarize the characteristics of a swordsman, but I don't know much about magicians, so I talk a lot." ”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "In this way, whether it is a swordsman or a magician, spiritual power is very important. So what is mental power?"
He paused and asked, "How do you get your spiritual power?"
Syryul replied unhurriedly, "Yes, spiritual power is essential for cultivators. Spiritual power is something that everyone has, like a combination of mind and will, but it exists in the form of power, and only when it grows to a certain extent can you truly feel spiritual power. ”
"This threshold is the threshold for apprentice swordsmen and apprentice mages, as for how to increase your mental power, you only need to feel it according to what I just said, until you break through this threshold. However, each person's qualifications are different, and the time it takes is also different. ”
Speaking of this, Syrue glanced at Lu Ming, and he was also curious about how quickly this prophesied figure could achieve it. It took me less than an hour to succeed.
