Chapter 19: The Hydra Golden Bow, the King of the Mountain(1/2)
After testing the soil and fire dual-system energy-shaping spell, it showed a somewhat outrageous element affinity.
Although these two witchcraft can only be used as a supplement to their own combat power, as Zhu Peng's wizard level continues to improve, their value will inevitably become greater and greater. As a major system of wizard witchcraft, the power and value of elemental energy shaping are beyond doubt.
However, unlike Xue Naili's thoughts, Zhu Peng's a bit outrageously high spell bonus effect actually does not come entirely from his bloodline.
Every time when using earth and fire, the two energy-shaping spells, Zhu Peng could feel the "defense" and "fire hell" talisman in the dantian echoed the effect of the "defense" on it.
They are called "defense" and "hell of fire", but Zhu Peng is not very clear about the true meaning of these two talismans. Perhaps defense can be called "earth" or "heavy", and perhaps fire can be called "fire" or "burning".
When stimulating the "earth, defense" effect, a pale white halo will appear under Zhu Peng's feet, and his physical defense and even the defense of his surrounding companions will soar.
When stimulating the "fire, burning" effect, Zhu Peng's own fire control ability, aggression, destruction and lethality will be greatly improved, but it cannot form a halo to spread to other units. Moreover, the "Fire Hell" golden talisman is far more vague than "defense", and Zhu Peng's understanding of this aspect is also lacking.
Of course, gaining defense is a natural result in the Zenda world, and gaining fire is an accident in the mind world. It is not that there is no understanding at all, but that the level of understanding in this aspect is obviously not as high as the former!
Just now, Shirley ran away crying. Zhu Peng originally planned to go over and comfort this little sister who was somewhat fragile in mind, but was stopped by Qiu Yuexue Nari.
"If my brother goes now, things will get worse and worse. Shirley is so strong-willed." Xue Nari said with her head tilted, then she smiled.
"Brother, go and do your own business. I will comfort Shirley. After all, I am not young anymore. If I hadn't become a wizard, I should have my own children now. How could I still be so willful? I'll always bother you, brother."
"...Well, that's fine." Zhu Peng thought for a moment, and this is the same. After all, Xue Naili is Shirley's sister, so she should be more effective than going by herself.
After making the decision, Zhu Peng changed his clothes and returned from the underground to the Caster family mansion through the identification magic array. This mansion transformed by the church as its original body was decorated with armored people with sharp weapons in each room. In fact, it was not just decoration. If someone fails to break through the identification magic array, the gargoyles sleeping in the armor will wake up.
These gargoyles are remodeled by Ma Qianrong, who was promoted to the second-level wizard. The combat power has been greatly improved, and they have wings on their backs, scattered in key points of the entire mansion, closely guarding the secrets of the Custer family.
After Zhu Peng left, Qiu Yuexue Naili ordered his servants to clean up the venue.
The Caster family also tested and cultivated some of the most loyal confidants, because the owner of the Caster family was a wizard, which was not a secret that could not be revealed, so there was no need to get to the point where anyone knew it and killed anyone.
It is a level that does not spread, does not spread, but does not strictly guard against it.
After all, this world has been enslaved by the wizard world for thousands of years in open and secret. The status of the wizard in the hearts of the people is almost like a god. If you use the wind appropriately, you will increase the centripetal force and cohesion.
However, the most loyal servants who can come to the basement to the present are after all the tests. They are mostly orphans and widows. Only by relying entirely on the Caster family can they have a good life and a bright future. For example, the middle-aged woman with a harsh and sharp appearance in front of Yukinali.
She was originally the wife of a butcher in Noka Town. Later, the alcoholic butcher was killed in a fight with someone. She lived a widow with an unexpectedly intelligent and handsome son. It is conceivable that life was difficult and difficult during the rumors. For more than ten years of poverty and pain, they tortured a originally handsome young wife into a vicious and mean woman.
When the Caster family arrived, Seonai asked her to be the chief maid and gave her a higher treatment than other maids. She also found a decent management job for her son who was a little clever in the mine.
The simple way of buying people's hearts has become irresistible because of its strong capital. Now, the woman named "Ai" in front of Qiuyue Xue Nari has already devoted herself to the Custer family.
Of course, it is not purely because of gratitude, but because everything she has now is given to her by this family. It took more than ten years of pain to gain decency and happiness again. Now whoever wants to touch the Custer family will prepare poisoned wine for it without hesitation.
Moreover, my brother is too easy to talk to, and others have no management interest or talent. When managing the Noda Caster family, Seonari also needs such a sharp, mean and even a bit vicious woman as a knife in her hand.
"Ai, ask someone to handle it and everything will be restored to its original state." Xue Naili pointed to the training ground that was a little turned upside down by Zhu Peng and Xueli, and then turned around and was about to leave.
However, at this time, the maid Ai suddenly said behind her: "Miss, there is a document that has been kept on your desk for a long time and has not been signed. It is about a business in the mine. You need to take time to read it."
"...I know." Unless the amount is relatively large, even if it is the income and expenditure of the Thunder Crystal Mine, Zhu Peng has gradually handed over the years his authority to Xue Naili.
The girl with long black haired German-Japanese mixed-race returned to the mansion through the identification array. She thought about her sister's personality and felt that it would be better if Shirley cried. After a while, Qiuyue Xue Nari finally chose to go to the direction of her room first. Her brother's business cannot be made mistakes. Even if her brother doesn't care so much, at least she can't make any mistakes in her hands.
At this time, Zhu Peng was flipping through books about the dual-type earth-fire witchcraft of earth and fire in his study. There were stacks of drawings around the room, with various design sketches and parameters that had been calculated experimentally.
With the improvement of the level of wizards, Zhu Peng now designs and manufactures strategies, tactics, and combat cards, and can no longer rely on inspiration and fortune like he did during his apprenticeship, because the knowledge of witchcraft is involved is increasing, and the materials that need to be invested are becoming more and more advanced and expensive.
After becoming a formal wizard, Zhu Peng had the habit of drawing sketches and reserving experimental parameters. As the level of wizards increased, Zhu Peng drew more and more sketches before making a card, prepared more and more pre-verification experiments, and reserved various experimental parameters.
When Zhu Peng was promoted to the second-level wizard and designed and portrayed the Red Flame Steel Ankylosaurus, he had a little careless because of the existing design blueprint content and relevant knowledge reserves that the old wizard had.
As a result, a large amount of precious magic materials were invested, and the red flame steel ankylosaurus carved in the end was only dark blue. After this result came out, Zhu Peng's heart was so painful.
But he learned from this. Zhu Peng is now cautious in every time he makes a card, and does not be confident and will not take action easily.
Zhu Peng's strategic cards are only the realm cards that have just been upgraded to the second level: "The Green Grassland of Soul-Binding/Desperate Corpse Origin", with a deep blue quality.
The only combat card is the enhanced card: "Demon Blood Rage", blue quality.
The remaining five cards are all tactical summoning cards, making magic cards: mutational stinky mud (gold quality), Purgatory Dog Arthur (third-level gold quality), Parasitic Heart Dark God (blue quality), Red Flame Steel Ankylosaurus (dark blue quality), and Night Poison Spider Andalil (dark gold quality).
Except for the Purgatory Demon Dog Arthur who was forcibly promoted to the third level or even the first level of legend, the other four summoning magic cards are all second level.
(Now I have a dog head with a loan, a fully-body Corgas, a steel Bobby, and a spider, a four-guard one barbarian... Well, no, I am not a barbarian, I am an elegant and decent mid-lane wizard, not a barbarian who bulged his muscles and waved his sword everywhere... I have been a warrior for too many years, and I always subconsciously mispositioned. According to traditional tactical thinking, I should portray a pure output demon next.)
(But if you purely output the magic, with its vitality and defensive toughness, it may be difficult to survive the terrifying attack of high-level wizards. If you die too many times in a short period of time, or if the unit suffers too much damage, the card will be broken... Or should I create a high-aware and hidden explosion-type assassin magic?)
According to the thoughts in his heart, Zhu Peng finally drew two design drawings of summoning demons:
One is a vague human figure holding a huge and gorgeous Hydra golden giant bow. People are not the focus, but the focus is that Hydra golden giant bow represents powerful terrifying output ability. If this card is drawn into shape, it represents Zhu Peng's overall tactics innovation. All summoning demons will no longer fight each other. Cooperation between each other and continuous team output will become the focus of future development.
But even if Zhu Peng can draw this kind of card with extreme tendencies, it is probably difficult to keep. High-level wizards are not blind, and they are smarter than the other. When Zhu Peng summons this card during the battle, they will smash all the powerful spells one by one. Will Zhu Peng block it?
Go up and block it yourself, or let the devil block it?
Which devil goes up to block it?
Can you stop it?
The other is the image of a huge black robe skeleton walking out of the fog of the mountains. The assassin summoned the demon. After thinking for a moment, Zhu Peng first gave it a name: The Old Man of the Mountain.
This name represents a very powerful and mysterious inheritance in the martial arts world on earth: the old man in the mountains.
The old man in the mountains and the master of martial arts assassination of ancient Muslims is equivalent to characters like Chinese Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng in the martial arts circles in Western countries and Arab worlds.
Zhu Peng is proficient in martial arts and even has powerful forces behind it. In recent years, through his advanced authority in the Chinese Warrior Association, he has read many mysterious and unique martial arts in other worlds, including his own insights on assassination martial arts and shadow fighting spirit.
Summoning the Demon is not about how you want to portray it. Behind each Demon represents a wizard's concept and corresponding witchcraft knowledge.
Of course, after the card is completed, each demon may develop differently from the original intention of the wizard because of his own circumstances.
For example, the Purgatory Demon Dog Arthur, Zhu Peng, the first one to portray it, was just a werewolf with a certain long-handled axe martial arts foundation. Now he has the opportunity of the Purgatory Devil, his purgatory fire, his soul and flame knowledge, and even Zhu Peng is studying it.
For example, the Red Flame Steel Ankyloss Dragon. If it weren't for the selfless old wizard's soul arrow, Zhu Peng wouldn't be able to portray the skills of his current body of necromancer.
Each summoning demon basically represents a research direction for wizards.
Zhu Peng's profound understanding of the martial arts system has made almost all his summoning demons have a certain combat bonus effect. Based on this, it can be estimated that it will be very powerful. Of course, material investment must also be guaranteed.
(But in this way, it becomes a pattern of fighting each other and fighting each other.) Zhu Peng pushed open the materials in front of him and pushed the door and walked out of the study.
***************
The sunset is setting south, and the afterglow of the sunset outside is beautiful.
On the martial arts arena outside the window, surrounded by a group of mercenaries covered by steel armor, Ma Yongzhen, who is still strong, practices martial arts with Sun Ye, who is holding a big steel rod.
In the past two years, Ma Yongzhen's Dragon King's Divine Power Fighting Aura has become more and more pure and profound. However, at this moment, he does not use the power of fighting spirit. He simply uses his gunsmanship and martial arts to compete with Sun Ye. Instead, Sun Ye is excited with a fire fighting spirit and attacks with all his strength, swinging an iron rod and stick. In this state, Sun Ye's four-dimensional attributes are higher than Ma Yongzhen, but in the face of the old man's superb and sharp gun skills, the faster speed and stronger power did not bring Sun Ye's victory. Instead, he becomes more and more anxious and makes mistakes again and again. In the end, the power of fighting spirit is squandered and was smashed out of the fighting field circle by Ma Yongzhen with one shot.
"Boy, you are not good at this gun and stick art, Monkey King? You are simply embarrassing to Sun Dasheng." Ma Yongzhen was a gangster and gangster, and she still believed in the same style as an old-school boxer:
Master, Master, like Master, I have taught you the skills of eating and living. You will be my son in this life. It is all right to accept beating, scolding, and urinate.
Although Sun Ye did not take Ma Yongzhen as his teacher, Ma Yongzhen has also given many instructions on Sun Ye to learn art in the past two years, and he beat and scolded him a few times, which is reasonable.
But this old-school boxer never thought that Sun Ye grew up in the 21st century. In his concept... Master?
Master, teacher, is what he recognizes. I learned something from you, and you need me. When I look back, I know who you are.
But the situation is better than others at this moment. Sun Ye could only shrink timidly in the midst of Ma Yongzhen's scolding and the mercenaries around him, barely making a smile, but his expression was extremely stiff.
Ma Yongzhen was in a state of intense pride. He did not notice that the mercenaries of Guangyao Jinque Mercenary Group around him were also a group of stupid and stupid people. They could not notice it, and it was useless to notice it.
However, Sun Ye was strange. Zhu Peng, who was looking down at the window on the third floor of the mansion, noticed that as a great master of national martial arts in the generation of Dan Taoist Wonderland, Zhu Peng was far more sensitive than ordinary people in terms of telepathy. Although he was standing in front of the window on the third floor of the mansion, looking down at it, it was almost like standing next to Sun Ye.
Looking at the young man's somewhat hideous expression and feeling the hostility faintly from his heart, Zhu Peng's originally smiling mouth gradually tightened.
Although he was similar to Sun Ye in age, he grew up living in the deep mountains and forests with the Chunyang swordsman Zhang Yuan. Although the old swordsman Zhang did not have the habit of patting people casually or even humiliating his disciples, he visited old friends from time to time, and Zhu Peng was influenced by the master's beating his disciples.
It was not until his pure Yang Xianxin became a little successful and his three views were fully formed that Zhang Yuanfang gradually became unable to do anything, so he found a landlord and old fortune in the city... that is, Lin Qian's father, who was supportive and enjoyed his youth, and Zhu Peng also went to college under the arrangement of Lin Qian's father.
Therefore, in some aspects, Zhu Peng's thinking concept is actually more outdated than Ma Yongzhen, who is in a mixed society: Master, teacher, master, as long as you beat and scold you while improving your art, you will not be resentful. If you feel resentful, it means that you have a problem with your character.
Of course, if the teacher is for personal gain or simply humiliating the students, such people are not qualified to be a teacher in the mind of old-fashioned ideas like Zhu Peng.
The relationship between master and apprentice is corresponding, just like the relationship between father and son. The master teaches his students with all his heart and effort, just like the father raising his son. As long as the starting point is good in the process, even if there are deviations, he can still be relatively tolerant.
But some moral corruption in the 21st century, which insults the word "teacher", do not teach in a serious class, and do not induce students to make up for their own lessons. They will humiliate students at will to ordinary families. Such people are like fathers who abandon their children. If they give up their responsibilities, they will naturally be ineligible to enjoy rights, that is, they are not worthy of respect and should be despised.
A father who abandons his children will not be qualified to come back and ask his children to support him in the future. It is like a teacher who forgets his responsibilities, and is worthy of being disgusting.
"Mr. Sun Ye's performance just now seems to make you very dissatisfied with Baron. Your face just now... was like the sunlight falling outside the window, completely darkened." An old man's voice came from his ears, but Zhu Peng seemed not surprised. He looked at the continued fighting in the fighting arena outside the window, breathed gently, and then turned around.
What I saw was an old man with a hunchbacked dress with gray and silver hair and some age spots on his face. He did not have the temperament of a big family housekeeper, and he looked a little out of place with a sword around his waist.
The old man was not wearing the traditional aristocratic sword in the Principality of Saint Rudin, nor the large broad sword used by battlefield mercenaries, but a special long sword between the two, somewhat similar to the two-fingered wide-prism sword of the Chinese Han sword.
This old man is the old leader of the Guangyao Jinque Mercenary Group, and the current leader Yare, the teacher, Saga.
************
"Old man, it is not a good habit to see people's privacy... What's more, I am a nobleman, and all nobles have a lot of privateness. As an old mercenary, you should know that the less you know the secrets of nobles, the longer you live."
"Not as scary as you said, Baron, let alone if you do something private in the corridor. In fact... even if I discovered any secrets of you, you don't have to worry at all. The Guangyao Golden Bird Mercenary Group is very interested in becoming your private soldier." People are old and slid, and they are talking about Saga.
The Guangyao Golden Bird Mercenary Group has been in Noka Town for more than half a year. Although it is rare, Zhu Peng once saw Saga take action twice. When dealing with the stabbing sword, the long sword between his two fingers wide will be as powerful as a thousand pounds and unstoppable. When dealing with the heavy sword, Saga will use ethereal and exquisite sword techniques, supplementing with skills and experience, and quickly killing the opponent with virtual moves.
Ma Yongzhen once fought with this old man because he was just about the outcome, not about life and death, but also had his own outcome.
In the world of heaven, most of the warriors in the planes are relatively extensive because of the existence of fighting spirit. Although there are also skilled people, they are very few. Old Man Saga is the kind of sword art that is slowly polished out in fighting and bloody battles. He is purely based on the theory of gunfire and swordsmanship, and he is the same as Ma Yongzhen.
But Ma Yongzhen had a wizard daughter who constantly changed his bloodline, strengthened his physique, and even blessed witchcraft. This is something that Old Man Saga could not compare to, but no matter what, if you can practice to the third-level swordsman in this world, you can only say that he is old and stronger.
To be continued...
