Chapter Ninety-Three
"This time it doesn't seem as real as the last illusion. Verin took a helmet-like object with both hands, and as soon as his eyes closed, he felt in a trance and fell into a deep sleep.
Jumping up from the ground and opening his eyes, Verin skillfully threw a set of punches and kicks, which was also the last time he learned in that dream, although it was a superficial kung fu in the army, it was enough to help him move his hands and feet and quickly familiarize himself with his body.
"Well, my identity in this game turned out to be a ruined nobleman, with little money left, and if I want to survive, I must choose one of the following three tasks. After a set of punches and kicks, Wei Lin had already digested the many thoughts that had been poured into his mind with the helmet, and with a low recitation of "Mission", he saw a semi-illusory square box with a shimmering light appear in front of him, writing square words that were completely different from the lingua franca, but he seemed to be cast "Knowing Words", and directly understood the meaning conveyed above.
"This soldier is in the back of the line, although I have the experience of the last time, I should be able to adapt quickly, but according to the family's arrangement, after I graduated from the knight academy, I also need to go to the army to have some experience, and it is too boring to spend all my time on it. ”
"But it's good to practice martial arts with a master, although the power in this illusion can't be brought to reality, but the experience is unhindered, there are many subtleties in the martial arts inherited by these people, but it's a pity that last time I was just the most ordinary soldier on the battlefield, and my identity and status were not enough to contact those most famous schools and powerhouses. But what does it mean to wander the rivers and lakes, like those lowly mercenaries who have no fixed place?"
"Well, there's another option to go for next year's imperial examination. Verin frowned, these two words made him a little confused, so he looked up the relevant information in his mind, "Even those farmers can read and write, and if they pass the selection exam, they can become officials, even the Church of the God of Knowledge doesn't dare to preach like this, fortunately, it's just a game." ”
After pacing in the courtyard for a moment, Verin immediately made a decision.
Although it is not a problem for him to use the language of this game to communicate with people now, it is too difficult for him to learn to write poems with a strict number of words in another script in less than a year to express his opinions.
"The supreme martial arts inheritance in this game seems to be concentrated in a few sects rather than in the military. However, very few people can be directly recruited into it. According to the prompts of the task system, I should take it step by step, first find a suitable martial arts gym in the city for basic learning, and then start to explore the rivers and lakes, and when the prestige and martial arts reach a certain level, it will naturally enter their eyes. ”
As soon as he made a decision in his mind, the two choices on the Unreal panel quickly dimmed, leaving only one hanging high, and a golden hourglass slowly dripping sand next to it, Verin knew that if he didn't worship inside the martial arts hall before the hourglass dripped out, he would be regarded as a mission failure and be expelled from the game.
At the same time, a map slowly opens in front of his eyes, showing him the city he is in, although many places are gray with unknown meaning, but combined with the information in his mind, it also gives him a deeper understanding of the game.
Raising his steps and pushing open the courtyard door, Wei Lin walked towards the nearest martial arts hall to him, ready to observe and collect information first, but he felt that his eyes were dark, his hands and feet were weak, and thunder suddenly sounded in his abdomen, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's not good, the characters in this game don't seem to have practiced martial arts before, and the consumption is too great to bear, and as soon as the spirit relaxes, it is a little unbearable. ”
Wei Lin was helpless, leaning on the wall, reluctantly retreating to the courtyard, learning the fighting spirit method he learned in the army last time, sitting down cross-legged on the ground, gathering his mind, I don't know how long it took for a slender fighting spirit to rise from the lower abdomen, running to the limbs of the lungs, bringing him a burst of warmth, like the feeling of soaking in a hot spring.
"It is said that the most brilliant martial arts inheritance in this world can open up more than three hundred mansions in the body, hold the fighting energy, and practice to the extreme can use these qi fu induction to summon the elements in the air into the body, so that a warrior like a knight can also cast magic, but it's a pity that the route of this fighting qi is too complicated, I don't know how much time it takes, otherwise I really want to see what is going on." ”
Standing up, Verin shook his head, his previous plans had been canceled. With his current strength, he is slightly better than ordinary people, and it is impossible for him to be selected by the martial arts hall.
"You still have to eat and drink enough first, and after laying a good foundation for your body, you will have a greater chance of passing. With this thought, Wei Lin subconsciously touched the money bag on his waist, it was empty, and he hurriedly recalled the digested information, and his face was stagnant.
This character's family is surprisingly dilapidated, except for this courtyard, there is not much surplus food left, forcing this noble young master, who has been served by people to eat and dress since he was a child, to think of making money by himself.
Compared to Verin, Barlow, who experienced this for the first time, was extremely satisfied with his identity.
"The paper can't carry magic, but it's not bad at all compared to the finest parchment. I heard Mr. Fusheng Chen say that everything in this game, whether it is martial arts or magic, comes from reality, and I don't know if it can be replicated in the real world. Looking at the tall bookshelves that were filled, Barlow sighed contentedly and opened a book casually, "The knowledge of poetry and art in it is also very distinctive, obviously the Roland family is really like the Church of the God of Knowledge recorded in a new continent with a level of civilization that is not inferior to the Norland continent, this time even if you don't do anything, just copy all the knowledge information in the book, it is a great contribution to the family and even the Church of the God of Knowledge." ”
Focused, looking away from the book, just like Verin. Barlow began to think about his inaugural assignment.
There are spellcasters like magicians and priests in this world, but here they are called Taoists and monks. Like the Norland Continent, such characters are rare, in the legend want to be guided by these people on the path of transcendence, in addition to qualifications, character, many times they actually pay attention to the so-called luck, sometimes they are obviously a stupid person, but because they happened to appear when they had the idea of looking for inheritors, these spellcasters thought it was the guidance of fate, and they were included in the door but turned away other people with more outstanding intelligence.
However, according to the setting in the game and what he heard others say after entering the game, even if he simply reads, the scholars here are not powerless, if they pass the imperial examination and enter the imperial court system, they can obtain the blessing of national fortune and have incredible power. Even some scholars who failed in the imperial examination continued to study and understand the connotation, and were given honorific titles such as Great Confucian, even if they had not been exposed to any extraordinary powers, they could disperse magical spells with just one sound, which was very magical and made Barlow very interested.
This should also be related to the power of faith, but it is not simply used as a simple energy, but it is taken a step further, and in turn the soul is closer to the essence of the gods and sublimated. What can do this step is that the 'spirit' and 'will' of body and mind and faith are perfectly combined, and even integrated, and may be a rare Holy Spirit in a hundred years in the Norland Continent. ”
Although the Church of the God of Knowledge believes in the God of Knowledge, this deity does not attach as much importance to faith as other gods, and in his teachings, all acts of collecting, organizing, learning, disseminating, researching, and creating knowledge belong to true faith, even if the other person believes in other gods. If he had been a pastor of the Church of the God of Knowledge, he might have really devoted all his energy to studying the scriptures of this world.
However, although he respects the god of knowledge, he is still a magician at heart, and it is decided that he must find those Taoist priests who are not seen by the dragon, and as for the monks, the thought of shaving their hair is unacceptable even in the game, and these monks are closer to the priests of the gods than to the mages who use the elements to release magic.
"It's really much faster for so many people to be together than for a single person to sacrifice magic weapons, if tens of thousands of people enter your game together, the thoughts will be sustenance and soaked in it. After a hundred years, maybe this mirror may really grow into a magic weapon. Dozens of silk threads are intertwined vertically and horizontally, forming a crystal net, in the middle of the net is a white jade round mirror with delicate patterns on the edge, and from time to time the sparkling silk threads are integrated into it and then extended.
Under the diffuse black and white atmosphere, three pictures were divided on the mirror, three cities, two of which were lit up at one or twenty points each, and the city where Verin and Barlow were located was one of them. On the mirror, a bird-like beast fluttered its wings and swam away, swallowing the sparks of the collision of thoughts and thoughts on the silk thread and spitting out again, reintegrating into the mirror and refining its essence. The picture is clearer, and there are grass, trees, mountains and rivers gradually emerging outside the city, which was originally shrouded in fog and bare, becoming more and more abundant.
"It's hard. Chen Fusheng shook his head, "It is true that the cultivation of many people is much faster than that of one person, but the thoughts of so many people are gathered together, accumulating over time, and the qi is mixed, even if I use my natal mana to refine from time to time, it is difficult to ensure that it has always been pure and consistent, and it will become an insurmountable obstacle when it is truly transformed into a magic weapon, otherwise the dragon clan will have a long life, control the four seas, and there are countless spirits under its command, and it should be easy to refine the magic weapon." ”
"But we in the Dragon Palace can't find Birch, a legendary beast that can devour dreams and thoughts, although the formation of gathering demon soldiers is powerful, it is not as strange as the acacia line transformed by the Taoist friends themselves can carry the virtual reality. Ao Li glanced at Birch Bird and praised it, "If I am trapped in the nightmare world, without the dragon in my hand, I may not be able to shake my Dao heart, but it is also very difficult to get rid of it, only Daoyou is such a long-term leader, can rescue people from it so easily, and by the way, I also fished such a strange thing, that Dawn Lanchester is patient, I haven't seen her for so long to find Daoyou, this is a life-saving grace, a grace of recreation, I think she was obviously very impressed by Daoyou that day." ”
"She has just broken through, so naturally it will take a while to settle down. Chen Fusheng smiled and said indifferently: "She is already extremely prestigious, and she is the most likely one of the princes and princesses under the knee of the emperor of this holy alliance to succeed to the throne, not to mention that this time she has awakened the origin." Right now, the imperial capital is full of people talking about her exploration of new routes. is already the hottest character in the imperial capital, and even the news that those gods were forced to come into the world was temporarily covered up by her, I don't know how many people are staring, how can they come to see a little person like us so casually, but didn't she send someone to send a lot of information, otherwise this fantasy game would not have been developed so quickly. ”
"These gods are connected to the roots of this Norland continent, and if the world is turbulent, they naturally can't stay in the sky any longer. I just don't know if those wizards would attack on a big scale if they knew the news, and take the opportunity to grab one or two experimental materials, they would be much less affected. Ao Li said with interest.
"The astrological prophecy of witchcraft is originally an extremely critical and important branch of their cultivation system, not to mention such a major event, as long as the strength is enough, it will naturally be sensed. Chen Fusheng shook his head, "But at the moment, the two worlds are not completely connected, even if their top wizards come here, their strength will be reduced a lot, and they may not be able to defeat the church that has been prepared too early, and they may end themselves up here." It should be like the previous ones who sent a small number of elites, and the real big people will not appear easily. ”
"But we should have been prepared earlier. When the time comes, I just use the title of Pioneer Knight on my body to take these people in the game out to the junction of the two realms. ”
In the mirror, the three cities correspond to three sources. Verin and Barlow, the native natives of Norland are in one city, and the other is a forerunner personally selected by Chen Fusheng from the world of A Chinese Ghost Story.
The essence of the world of A Chinese Ghost Story is illusory, and in turning the void into real time, it is destined to have countless characters to be wiped out and dispersed between heaven and earth. With the imprint of the reincarnation space, Chen Fusheng will not be affected much if he brings people in, but if he wants to bring the people inside out safely, Chen Fusheng estimates that there are only a few Yan Chixia at present.
He sacrificed to heaven and earth, the sealing of Montenegro is to protect the military and civilian people under his rule, and now these people who are selected to enter the game are the same, in addition to being able to thicken the foundation and complete the body of the Yuan Spirit, a wisp of their soul is also placed in the black and white mirror of Chen Fusheng, as long as this magic weapon is not destroyed, even if these people are not mature at that time, it is enough to survive under the washing of the true spirit of the heaven and earth in the Norland Continent.
As for the last remaining city, it is specially prepared by Chen Fusheng for the people in the real world who choose the contractor in the reincarnation space, and when Meng Qingkun and the others set the goal, and this game collects the information of the current group of people to further improve, Chen Fusheng will really open up, and when the strength is not enough to truly confront the gods, he will not let the people of the three worlds contact each other and expose his details.
