Chapter 188 People who read a lot

After talking about a lot of geographical and environmental knowledge about the northern wasteland in a long and long way, Shiloae left with satisfaction after taking Dagon's promise of "being ready to wait for you the day after tomorrow". Dagon used his little finger to clean his ear holes, patted his ears, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"She knows so much," Dagon said to Star Helmet: "She must have read a lot of books."

Star Helmet agrees. The elf has such a long lifespan, and if it is used to concentrate on reading, it will have a very amazing reserve of knowledge.

"I have to come on." Dagon cheered himself up.

In order to study hard, we must first prepare what we need to use the day after tomorrow. This time, the territory of the northern barbarians he and Shiloai were going to is a relatively broad concept and does not have a clear dividing line, whether it is natural or artificial.

Generally speaking, the elves are located in the north of the world, and the Minamilis is in the middle, and then to the north are their capital: Pearl Fort. To the east, the Wolf Eye Fortress and the Canine Tooth Fortress guard the main roads to prevent the northern barbarians from moving south; to the west, the Shuangta City guards the western wing of the Elf Kingdom, but what really blocks the northern barbarians from moving south is actually the terrible Dragon Shadow Desert, which is the real forbidden zone for life.

The elves referred to all the tribes in the chief system, sacrificial system, Khan system, and the common discussion system of the tribes became barbarians, thus collectively calling the northern barbarian area from the elves kingdom to the north, from the elves kingdom to the Arctic ice-capped ocean. The climate here is characterized by distinct winter and summer, with almost no spring and autumn, and the temperature is generally low. Meadows, semi-deserted Gobi and coniferous forests constitute the main vegetation landscape here. People here either chase and grab the unfreezing springs, or try to live close to several rivers with large water volumes, forming some simple and primitive villages and towns.

Shiloai said that she came to prepare a mount or vehicle, and Dagon only needed to prepare his own things. He must bring a full set of armor, the five-headed dragon cloak is very suitable for being warm outside, and it seems to have the ability to adjust the warmth of winter and coolness in summer. The comfortable armor inside also needs some material, especially some padding to ensure that the metal part is kept away from the skin. This can reduce heat loss.

The tools for survival in the wild are ready-made. Dagon is originally a qualified hunter, and Shiloai's spells can also help. The northbound itinerary will basically follow the river, which will make it easier to get supplies in the village, so it is a good choice to bring some fishing tools appropriately. Bring the warmest clothes and bedding, and fuel may be a problem. Dagon thinks that you can bring less food and more peat.

Dry food should be as light as possible, storage-resistant, high in calories, and super sweet halfling cakes are very good. This time you need to prepare some strong wine to quickly heat up the body. Eh? Can you prepare a bottle of flame-spraying potion? Ordinary alcoholic beverages have no effect on Dagon.

I remember the celebration night of the No. 15 pit group. Everyone didn’t have to worry about the next exam. They all drank happily, and Dagon also drank a lot. Perhaps because of his dragon bloodline, the alcohol became fuel after entering his stomach, and it could only produce the same effect as bread and potato flour porridge: providing calories.

Only stronger fuels could make him a little drunk, such as flame spray potion, but unfortunately the cafeteria did not provide such "drinks". The party eventually led to eight Jiangu people lying on the ground. They were already drunk, but Dagon was just worried about the unfinished food.

The halfling chef took the initiative to process the food again and ensure that they are edible. In exchange, Dagon needed to move the drunk Jiangu people out of the canteen. He found a cart, threw the eight Jiangu people into it, then transported it to the fifteenth pit, threw it inside, and then prepared a basin, towel and a large bucket of water.

"Flamessage potion is sold at the student equipment office, bring two bottles in case. That should be enough, right?"

Hearing this, Star Helmet was reluctant. It crawled out from under Dagon's beard, climbed onto his nose, and began to dance. Dagon took it off his nose, placed it on the table opposite, and then rubbed his eyes that almost turned into cross-eyed eyes. "Do you want warm clothes? Bear lizards are usually not afraid of the cold!"

Xingxiu immediately hugged himself tightly with six legs, curled up in a ball, and looked trembling.

"Okay, you have so many plays. Let's go to the student equipment office now to see if you can find something to keep warm for you. Come on, let's go quickly. There are definitely no ready-made ones, so we can only customize them, and we don't have much time."

Unlike the idea, Dagon came back soon, and Star Helmet also had its own warm clothing. It was a coincidence that several graduates sold all the things they didn't want to take away to the student equipment office, which contained a pair of frost dragon leather gloves with broken holes. Frost dragons are subspecies of the white dragon, and they only have the ability to glide and cannot fly for a long distance. Most of them live on towering frost cliffs, and catch prey by gliding and striking.

Although his strength, intelligence and magic abilities are not as good as the White Dragon, the Frost Dragon is not afraid of cold. Its skin can be made into very excellent anti-freeze clothing. After hearing Dagong's request, the sewing craftsmen in the student equipment office took a pair of gloves, cut it, spliced ​​it, and sewed it, and quickly made it into a star helmet's clothes. It can stretch out all six legs, and the tail and head have special openings to move freely.

The Star Helmet was very satisfied. It did not dislike the fact that it was modified from the old gloves. On the contrary, it also felt that this "Frost Dragon Suit" had been worn out and was particularly smooth and comfortable. Apart from this outfit, other things were either bought or booked and sent to him tomorrow. In this way, Dagon had basically completed the preparations and could finally sit down and study.

Lighting the fire, putting your feet on a low stool, and letting the temperature of the stove bake the soles of your feet is Dagon's latest winter enjoyment. He put all the borrowed books at hand and started browsing one by one. During the period when he followed Hiloai north, Dagon didn't want to waste any of it. If he could learn, he would learn and seize every opportunity to make progress. Especially Hiloai is also a master of magic, who can get close to the water and ask her for advice first.

The "No Name Book" to improve the basic quality assessment ability is the focus of learning, so Dagon reads this book very carefully. This book explains the standards for basic quality assessment, analyzes the practical significance behind the standards, and then gives appropriate training methods.

Whether it is Gorene Iron Moor or Chihoro Dongdong, their abilities are mainly spells, so the training methods given are also spells. Dagon looked at the spells above, even though he knew that these were simple primary spells, it was still very difficult. His foundation was still not enough and he needed too many tutoring lessons.

"Even if you remember all these things now, you can't use them. You have to ask Hiloai one by one on the way. Well... I have to be kind to her, otherwise she will be hard to speak with her eyebrows raised and her arms." Dagon thought for a moment, thinking that what she couldn't happen to was to make basic mistakes. "I'd better remember everything that was getting started, especially the basic terms. If these things go wrong, she will definitely lose the patience to teach me immediately."

It is necessary to memorize rote, but this work is too boring. Dagon is very suspicious of the book "Simplified Spells" that contains hypnotic spells, which consumes his attention and patience. Every time he reads two pages, his consumption of spiritual will is no less than practicing a thousand chopping times. If he hadn't his firm will, Dagon would definitely not be able to persevere.

Learning also requires methods. Every once in a while, Dagon pauses to relax his mind. At this time, he picks up "Infinite World Mana" and reads it. Professor Dongdong said that he has read this book, and Hiloai also checks the book and confirms that it has no magic effect. As for the theory inside, the two masters of spells think that they are purely fantasy and have no practical meaning, so Dagon also regards this book as a leisure reading material, just like the story song of Nasim Bond, which is simply used to relax and pass the time.

I know that this book has been a few months, but this is his first time reading it. The words and sentences are pretty good, but I have explained too much about magic theory and like to use large paragraphs, which makes people feel a little tired. The author often talks to himself in the book, which makes him feel very eager to teach his theory to readers, but he can't come up with practical evidence or implementation methods to support it, which makes those theories pale and powerless. If you want to score, this book will definitely fail in the field of "spell textbooks", and it is normal to fail.

But it is not without any advantages. Dagon had read "Runish Breathing Method" before, and the "Harvesting Method" that the Neil family in the ancient city must learn (although they have not practiced), but the biggest influence on him was "Transforming Qi into Stone". The theory of the cycle strengthening of the five natural elements has been proved by some practice, and this is how the "Yong" rune comes from. Now in "Infinite World Mana", Dagon has seen a similar method. How can he not surprise him while familiarizing himself?

"Infinite World Mana" envisions a perfect scene: natural elements are self-generated, strengthened in order, and the cycle speed is continuously superimposed until the mana can be generated infinitely. When I saw this, Dagon couldn't help laughing out loud and expressed his appreciation for the author's whimsical imagination. But when he continued to read, he gradually restrained his smile.

He found that the author was really studying the cycle of elements, constantly trying to find out how the five elements promote each other. In fact, this simple idea was already in "Transforming Qi into Stone", but no one has studied how profound the specific impact is and how it is reflected in the data.

There are these studies in "Infinite World Mana", and a large amount of data lists a full ten pages. It measures the number of cycles in a fixed time, the number of the simplest "fire technique" that can be used to generate mana, the degree of mental fatigue and other factors. Combined with different cycle methods, natural elements can be promoted and superimposed in turn. There is no problem with this method, and the information collected should not be much deviation, but the author seems unable to analyze this information, and can only guess the meaning behind it.
