Although the children in the countryside don't have much knowledge and don't understand the principles, they are very capable of doing things independently. More than 20 children work together and divide the work. One group digs the foundation on the spot, even if it is to build a thatched house. A basic foundation, otherwise the thatched house will not take a few days to build. A few girls went to pick up straw and dead branches, and another group of older and stronger children were going to carry tools to chop some larger solid wood and come back to make the brackets for the thatched house.
Seeing the children busy, Liang Lidong felt that he had nothing to do here. He said to Kyle, who was about to help, "Don't rush over, I need your help with something. You said yesterday, in the north of the village There are many ferocious beasts on the mountain over there, can you take me there to see, I have something to do."
Kyle had a happy face: "Okay, no problem."
Teenagers are impulsive by nature, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If an adult hears Liang Lidong's request, there are many ferocious beasts on the Beishan Mountain, and he will probably have to think twice for his own safety, but Kyle is not afraid. He ran home first and took out his iron sword, and then took his iron sword with excitement. Liang Lidong walked up the mountain to the north. After passing through two hills, there is a taller and bigger mountain range in front of you. Several peaks stretch into the distance, and lush forests cover the entire mountain range. Because of the high terrain, you can see the smoke and clouds on the peaks.
"Ahead is the largest mountain group in the north, and there are many ferocious beasts living in it, such as several-meter-long snakes, tigers, and forest wolves." Kyle looked a little angry: "Now in summer, they have something to eat in the woods. So I seldom come near our village, but if it comes to winter and the mountains are covered by heavy snow, ferocious beasts will rush into the village from time to time, stealing cattle and sheep is nothing. Last year, the youngest daughter of the Nicholas family was taken away by a tiger. "
The roar of ferocious beasts could be faintly heard from the mountain peak. Liang Lidong nodded to express his understanding. He had seen this kind of thing a lot in the game, and he had personally participated in the task of killing wild beasts near the village.
"Teacher, what are you going to do here?" Kyle asked curiously.
"I plan to contract a magic pet." It is not strange for a spellcaster to have a magic pet, and there is no need to hide it: "I want to do a lot of things now, and the magic pet is equivalent to the caster's assistant. With it, It’s much easier for me to do things.”
"Familiar?" Kyle heard this term for the first time, and he continued to ask curiously, "What does that mean?"
"It is to use magic to embed a small part of one's soul into the consciousness of natural creatures and fuse with it." Liang Lidong introduced him in plain language as much as possible: "Because of the soul fragments and knowledge of the caster, natural creatures It will evolve into a magical creature, and has a special ability to communicate with the caster on the premise of retaining its own independent consciousness. It can be said to be a special clone of the caster, and it has the ability to learn, and the knowledge it learns will be slowly fed back into the soul of the caster."
Kyle was shocked: "So powerful? If you contract ten and eight magic pets, and let them read books, wouldn't you not need to study in the future? And it's very cheap to fight one dozen."
"How can it be so simple!" Liang Lidong smiled: "You can only contract one magic pet. There may be people who can contract more than two magic pets, but I haven't heard of them. You said ten or eight can cast spells one by one." Or, that is the summoner profession. Summoned creatures are different from magic pets. First of all, summoned creatures are fantasy creatures, usually from the heaven or demon world. Their projection time in the main world is limited, and they will disappear naturally when the time is up. Creatures are more difficult to control, often disobeying orders, if they do not have specialized skills, they may be killed by summoned creatures. In addition to the creatures of the heaven and the devil, the other two special summoners are necromancers, and Necromancers, these two types of spellcasters take pleasure in playing with corpses, everyone shouts to beat them, you don’t need to know too much. If you have a chance to meet these two types of people in the future, if you can beat them, kill them, if you can’t beat them, kill them Run, understand?"
Kyle listened with gusto. He scratched his head and said, "Teacher, can you tell me something about spellcasters and professionals?"
"I'll talk to you in detail when I have a chance later." Liang Lidong patted Kyle on the head lightly. Although his appearance was not a few years older than the boy's, this action was taken for granted. Feel something strange. He said slowly: "Now I want to contract a magic pet to enhance my strength, so I have to find a more powerful beast. You can come with me, and it's good to increase your knowledge."
Kyle nodded vigorously, he naturally wished for such a thing.
With a snap of his fingers, the fog driving skill was activated again, Kyle stood in it, feeling full of security, he followed behind Liang Lidong, walked a few steps, and then said aloud: "Teacher, the area of the dense fog seems to be wider. "
"Well, the radius is increased by fifty meters." Liang Lidong smiled: "Because I am stronger."
"If you contract a magic pet, the teacher will become stronger." Kyle said enviously: "If I have the same strength as the teacher, I don't think grandpa will stop me from becoming a mercenary."
"I'm actually not strong right now." Liang Lidong persuaded: "Your grandfather is also doing it for your own good. After all, you are the only son of the Reed family, and your parents are gone. If something happens to you, the Reed family will really be gone forever." .Maybe you think it’s free and easy to be a mercenary and travel around, but in fact the life of a mercenary is very hard, and your current ability is not enough to become a mercenary.”
Kyle was a little unconvinced: "I think I can do it. At least no one in the village is my opponent except the teacher. Also, I also competed with some mercenaries in the city. Except for a few people, I couldn't beat them. Others No one is my opponent."
"A mercenary in the city?" Liang Lidong smiled happily: "A mercenary who can even beat you can be called a mercenary? Kyle, you are obviously deceived. Once a real mercenary strikes, you will not die. I will also lose half of my life, because I have spent many years in danger, and once they make a move, it is already an instinct. My current strength is considered the best among mercenaries, but if I want to deal with the current For you, you don’t need weapons or spells, just one hand is enough.”
Kyle said unconvinced: "Teacher, you are stronger than me, of course I believe it, but you said that you can beat me with one hand without magic, I don't believe it. No matter what you say, I have also practiced swordsmanship."
"Strength is one thing, and mercenary common sense is another." Liang Lidong stepped on a thorny vine, ignored the little guy's provocation, and continued to walk up the mountain. Now the roar from the mountain peak became more and more obvious Li said: "Strength is only a stepping stone to become a mercenary. To become a reliable mercenary, you have to learn a lot of skills. If you are not a spellcaster, you must know how to use a variety of weapons to fight and maintain weapons and armor, because many times, You can’t use specialized weapons to fight, you have to learn to distinguish weather changes, and understand basic botany, zoology, and warcraft; You must know how to swim, how to climb trees without making a sound, how to track prey, and how to counter-stalk... "
Kyle couldn't open his eyes when he heard it: "Mercenaries have to learn so many things, so why do I see a lot of mercenaries who don't seem to be knowledgeable?"
"Mercenaries who can't even master these basic knowledge generally don't live long."
Kelton suddenly felt a basin of ice water poured on his head, and the blood on his face immediately cooled down: "The teacher is not a mercenary, how do you know what a mercenary should learn!"
"Who says I haven't been a mercenary, I have at least six years of mercenary career." Liang Lidong added in his heart: It's only in the game.
Kyle's mouth opened wide.
"Look at my delicate skin and tender flesh, I look like a noble young master, doesn't it look like that?" Liang Lidong turned around and asked with a smile.
Kyle nodded vigorously, and he swallowed: "The teacher is not much older than me. You said that you have six years of mercenary career. Could it be that you were a competent mercenary when you were twelve or thirteen years old?"
"Who told you that I'm only about twenty years old! Professionals are different from ordinary people. The stronger their strength, the longer their lifespan. You can't judge a professional's age from his appearance." Liang Lidong explained: "I have seen There was a girl who looked like she was about twelve years old. She was so strong, but in fact she was already one hundred and seventy-four years old. And she was still in childhood at that time. She once told me that her adulthood The period is about five hundred and thirty-six years old."
Kyle's mouth got bigger, and he could already hold his own fist: "What's the girl's name, how can she live for such a long time?"
"Human-dragon hybrid, fire dragon king Margaret, the strongest humanoid creature." Liang Lidong continued to explain: "Generally speaking, the lifespan of human professionals can reach 140 years, and those with stronger strength Professionals may be able to live to around two hundred years old, and if they have special blood, their lifespan will become longer. Moreover, people with special blood will have a slightly different appearance from ordinary people, which is very conspicuous."
"Like a teacher?" Kyle pointed to Liang Lidong's bright golden hair.
Generally speaking, ordinary people's blond hair is dark in tone, but Liang Lidong's bright blond hair is different. It seems to have a weak light source, which is very bright even in the dark, and the luster is very clean, like It is a strip of soft golden crystal silk, which has to be said to be beautiful.
Liang Lidong stroked his hair. In the game, his hair color was not so conspicuous, like ordinary people, but now it is too 'beautiful', and it is a bit like Margaret's hair texture, The difference is that Margaret's hair is a passionate fiery red, and it is very long, coming close to her heels.
Perhaps it was because of Yunlong's blood, Liang Lidong guessed.
Seeing that Liang Lidong didn't answer, Kyle assumed that the former was acquiescing, and he continued to ask: "How old are you, teacher?"
"Guess!" Liang Lidong made a fool of himself.
"How can this be guessed." Kyle was a little helpless.
Liang Lidong chuckled, and then said: "I won't talk about these things for now, there is a tiger over there, let's go over and see if it is suitable for being a magic pet."
By this time they had reached the flank of the mountain, at the edge of the forest. The skill range of 'Fog Driving' was expanded. At this time, there were many red dots displayed in the field of vision of the two of them, and there was a larger red dot at the edge of the dense fog. When the system prompted to open it, it displayed: 'Mountain forest tiger 'system introduction.
The two walked over. Tigers belonged to the cat family. Generally speaking, cats have good senses of hearing, vision, and smell. However, when the two walked 50 meters in front of the big cat, the tiger was still looking around. know what's going on. The fog driving skill has deprived the tiger of most of its senses, and now it can't even see what is in front of it clearly, and it is growling in a low voice at a loss, looking very disturbed. The tiger had enough to eat and drink, and ran to the grass by the forest to bask in the sun. Unexpectedly, it was engulfed by Liang Lidong's 'fog driving' skill.
Although the tiger is the king of the woodland, as a natural creature, it is also a vulnerable group when encountering magic.
Liang Lidong clicked on the system function of 'Magic Pet' contract, looked at the big cat who was hesitating left and right in front of him, and then checked the prompts given by the system.
Name: Mountain Tiger (adult)
Race: Feline (can be contracted as a magic pet)
Contract Feat: Silent Movement
Liang Lidong nodded. Just like in the game, after cats become monsters, their specialty is silent movement. Felines have strong attack power and various attack methods, so they can become a very strong fighting magic pet. However, Liang Lidong's fog driving skill already has the effect of "silent movement". There is overlap on the above, which is very wasteful.
Avoiding the bewildered big cat, Liang Lidong entered the woods, followed by Kyle and asked, "Teacher, isn't the tiger suitable? I think it has a strong fighting power."
"The combat power is really good, but its combat expertise conflicts with my skills."
Kyle nodded with half understanding, but he remembered a term more and more, 'combat expertise'.
Many animals can become magic pets, but not all magic pets have enough combat power. For example, squirrels, sparrows, rabbits, etc. Combat is also so-so, more inclined to combat assistance. What Liang Lidong needs is a magic pet with strong combat power, and whose expertise does not conflict or overlap with his own.
The two walked in the woods for a while, and Liang Lidong found another natural creature suitable for fighting as a pet: python.
Name: Hundred-point yellow python
Species: Anaconda
Contract Feat: Blind Fight
The boa constrictor had actually spotted Liang Lidong and Kyle, but it didn't attack because the distance between the two was more than 50 meters. In addition, snakes are actually very afraid of people, unless they are too hungry or threatened, they usually Will not attack people. The snake doesn't rely on vision and hearing to detect creatures, so the ability to drive the fog doesn't help it much, but it still suffers from a slowdown in movement speed. It wants to escape from these two terrifying humanoid creatures, but the movement speed is very slow.
Blind fight, Liang Lidong has something to do. The boa constrictor transformed into a magic pet has high combat effectiveness, and there is no conflict in specialties, but Liang Lidong thought about it for a while, and then gave up. He has true vision, no matter in any environment, he can see things, and the combat specialty of blind fighting is useless.
Leaving the frightened boa constrictor, Liang Lidong took Kyle to continue wandering in the woods, and soon encountered a new fighting creature.
Name: Woodland Gray Wolf
Race: Canine
Pact Feat: Spell Resistance
Spell resistance is a very good auxiliary feat. It can slightly increase the holder's various magic resistances. The effect is mediocre, but it is better overall. As the level of the holder increases, the effect will gradually become more obvious. Liang Lidong has a seven-point willpower growth, and his resistance to magic is quite good. If he has magic resistance, the effect will be even better. Ordinary magic is difficult Played an obvious role on him.
And the fighting ability of the canine family is also quite good, although not as strong as the cat family, but at least much stronger than the auxiliary magic pets like squirrels.
Write it down first, go and see other creatures before making a decision. The two continued to wander in the forest and encountered many wild animals. Liang Lidong wanted to see the magic pets of insects, but found that there were no large insects in this forest, and even if the small insects were transformed into monsters, no matter how good their expertise was, their combat power would not be that strong, so they had to give up.
After walking for a long time, the sun was about to set before Liang Lidong finally decided to treat Gray Wolf as his contracted magic pet.
They quickly caught a lone gray wolf in the forest. Liang Lidong called up the magic pet contract system, with blue light all over his body, surrounded by small beeping lightning, a picture of a terrifying magician look like. Kyle frowned when he saw that the gray wolf was lying on the ground, not daring to move, howling, terrified.
With the help of the system, Liang Lidong tore out a small piece of soul from the sea of consciousness and condensed it on the index finger of his right hand. In the game, when he contracted a familiar, his soul shards were blue, but now, his soul shards are bright golden, the same color as his hair.
Although tearing the soul was more painful than in the game, Liang Lidong held back. He wiped the cold sweat off his head with his left hand, and was about to inject the soul fragment on the index finger of his right hand into the gray wolf's brain. At this time, there was a chirping sound above his head, and he raised his head subconsciously. A big bird with a long cyan tail, a white body, and a three-color feather crest flew over his head, because the ability to drive fog reduced his movement. Because of the speed, the bird is struggling to fly, and the speed is not fast.
Information about this blue long-tailed bird soon appeared in Liang Lidong's field of vision.
Name: Three-feathered Crested Falcon (half-monsterized)
Race: Falconidae (can be contracted as a magic pet)
Contract Feats: Uncanny Dodge, Aura of Wisdom
Fuck! Liang Lidong almost jumped up, it turned out to be a creature with dual specialties, and it was a half-monsterized natural creature. He has heard of such a special species between natural creatures and magical creatures in the game, but he has never seen it before. It belongs to the type that can be encountered but not sought after, but he did not expect to encounter it here.
"Kyle, help me catch this bird."
Liang Lidong yelled and chased after him. He now has a coordination value of 7.35, and with the addition of the speed increase added by the two specialties of fog driving skill and sensitive movement, he suddenly disappeared. Kyle was terrified With a jump, he quickly chased after him.
