After a simple lunch, Liang Lidong asked Kyle if he could take him around the village. The young man naturally agreed, wishing he could have more time to communicate with Liang Lidong.
As a young man with ideals, Kyle knows that he has too few channels to gain knowledge and experience. Although he can often go to the city with his grandfather, and occasionally meet one or two "big shots" in the city, others are at most just with him. Grandpa chatted a few words, a child like him couldn't get into the eyes of those big shots, let alone communicate with him. Kyle is very aware of his weight. He is indeed better than the children of the same age in the village, whether in terms of combat ability or knowledge, but he also knows that compared with the heirs of the nobles in the city, a person of his level is Nothing counts.
For example, the daughter of the city lord, although she is not good-looking, has a bad temper, and is not good at socializing, but if he fights with her, ten of him will not be enough for the opponent to fight alone. This made him not qualified to challenge the city lord's daughter at all. He was just a descendant of a poor rural nobleman, and the other party was a magician. Even if he didn't have noble status, he could still look down on him from above.
The saddest thing in the world is not that you have no ideals, but that you have ideals but can't find a way to move forward. People who have no ideals are actually happy. They can live with the situation and live every day smoothly. Those who have ideals but cannot realize them have to endure the gap between reality and ideals every day, and feel depressed.
Kyle has always hoped to become a mercenary, travel around, punish evil and promote good. Even if you can't become a legend like your ancestors, you still have to live your own style and break out of your own world. It's just that he only has ideals, but he doesn't know how to realize them. No one told him how to take the first step, and no one could tell him what kind of knowledge he needs to learn to become a good mercenary.
Now there is a real spellcaster visiting the house, and he is willing to communicate with him, not treating him as a child, but treating him as an equal person, how could Kyle not seize this opportunity. Although the pastor doesn't seem to approve of him becoming a mercenary, he said a lot. Kyle at least knows now that it costs a lot of money to become a magician, at least their family can't afford what he needs to learn magic. In addition, the swordsmanship is not bad enough to slay dragons.
No one would tell him such things before. Kyle was very curious and eager to know any news about the mercenary world.
Kyle took Liang Lidong out. Under the shade of a tree not far from the yard, the two of them saw a group of villagers gathering together and whispering. There were many men, women and children. Then when the villagers saw the two of them coming out, the scene immediately became quiet, and they all looked at Liang Lidong curiously and probingly. Now the news that a big man has come to the village has spread throughout the village, and there is a crowd of people in front of him. There are about a hundred people, and everyone in the village must be present.
"Let's all go away." As the grandson of the village chief and the next appointed village chief, Kyle still has some weight to speak here: "This pastor is a real spellcaster. Your behavior is very rude. If you If you offend Your Excellency, it doesn’t matter if you are unlucky, it’s not good if you cause other people to suffer.”
Although what Kyle said about Liang Lidong was a bit 'unhuman', in essence, these words worked well, and the villagers quickly dispersed, and Kyle let out a sigh of relief. At this time, a young girl in the crowd came trotting over. It was Belin. She asked the two of them, "Master Beta, and brother Kyle, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"
Kyle looked at Liang Lidong and asked for his opinion.
Liang Lidong just went to see the surrounding environment, and he didn't do anything bad, so what does it matter if there are many little girls. After getting Liang Lidong's consent, Bei Lin happily followed the two, and under the watchful eyes of the villagers, the three went out to the entrance of the west village.
Kyle pointed to the yellow mud road that was only about half a meter wide under his feet, then pointed to the west, and said: "This road leads to our nearest village, Seri Village. It takes about three hours to walk. They count our village Almost every year on the day of spring, when they go to the nearest Winterwind City, they must pass through our village, and then we will gather together and go to the city, because the more people from the same place, the less poll tax is needed .”
"This is a small forest in the north of the village. There is a grassland in it. I usually practice swordsmanship here. Further north is a big mountain. There are very powerful beasts in it. I have never gone up."
"The small river in the south of the village is where we usually fetch water for washing. Amuro, a fisherman in the village, relies on this small river for his livelihood. He is the only fisherman in our village. There will be no fish to eat in the coming year."
"The road in the east of the village leads to the nearest city here, Winterwind City. The furthest place I've been to is Winterwind City." Kyle looked into the distance, with yearning on his face: "I don't know the city outside Winterwind City. What is the world like? I heard that Winterwind City is not that big, but in my opinion, Winterwind City is already an unimaginably large city. What does a city bigger than it look like? !"
Belin said angrily from the side: "Brother Kyle, you have been to Winterwind City no matter what, I haven't been there yet."
Kyle smiled apologetically.
Liang Lidong stared at the white clouds in the eastern sky. If he remembered correctly, Dongfeng City should be one of Hollevin's border cities, and it was destroyed by players in the fifth year of the game. The reason is that a player discovered a gold mine, a large gold mine, on a mountain near Winterwind City. At that time, the two largest forces among the players, the Jalan Temple Guild and the Silver Wings Guild, launched a war around Winterwind City in order to snatch the gold mine. Four days of Guild Wars.
At that time, the two sides dispatched tens of thousands of guild members, and a total of more than 20,000 professionals fought each other near Winterwind City. Losing a lot of character experience, the two sides are getting angry, and they don't care about the life and death of NC. The scale of the battlefield is upgraded, and the mages use large-scale group magic without any fear. In just two days, it was dismantled into ruins by the players.
Although many NCs escaped from the city, some well-meaning people calculated afterwards that more than 30% of NCs died at the hands of players. Afterwards, King Hollevin was furious and sent a large army to attack the Jalan Temple and the Silver Wings guild quarters. He was still publicly offering rewards to the main personnel of these two guilds. The average number of deaths of personnel exceeded thirty-five times, and the average level dropped by about four levels. The two strongest guilds suddenly became low-level guilds.
Now that Winterwind City is still there, does this mean that the Winterwind City guild battle did not take place at that time, that is to say, there are no players participating in this world at all? Thinking of this, Liang Lidong had new doubts. Since this is not a game world, and there are no players to participate, then what is he?
Seeing Liang Lidong in a daze, Kyle asked, "Your Excellency Beta, have you thought of anything?"
Liang Lidong shook his head, then asked, "Is there any special place near the village?"
Kyle thought for a while, then shook his head.
But Belin went to tug at his shirt and said, "Brother Kyle, have you forgotten? We also have a secret base, which is a bit strange."
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Kyle clapped his hands suddenly: "I haven't been to that place for several years."
Then Kyle leads the way. The so-called secret base is actually a small cave, and the entrance of the cave is blocked by many ivy. If you don't know it, you don't know that there is a cave here. The entrance of the cave was a bit dark, Liang Lidong flicked his finger, and a ball of light the size of his little finger flew into the air, barely illuminating the situation in the cave. The cave was not deep, only about 20 meters wide, and about three meters wide. Inside were some wooden swords and guns, a poorly made table, and five equally poorly made chairs.
The two looked at the small light ball in the air with some awe, and Liang Lidong explained: "This is just the basic application of spiritual power. The aggregation of light elements together plays the role of lighting. It is not magic and has no power. , and the effect is not obvious. Its upgraded version of the light technique is considered zero-level magic and requires spell slot equipment. This little thing does not take up spell slots. Anyone who knows magic can generally use such a small trick."
"It's just like you can pick up the cup in the air with a gesture of your hand before lunch, Mr. Beta?" Kyle asked enviously.
Liang Lidong nodded: "Well, that's a trick to condense mental power into bundles and pick up small objects. It's not very effective. People with my magical power can't pick up more than two kilograms. It's an upgraded version It is the hand of a mage, if the magic power is strong enough, it can lift seven or eight tons of things. It is quite practical magic whether it is used for combat or for work."
Both Kyle and Belin looked at the young man who was not a few years older than themselves in admiration.
Liang Lidong asked: "You just said that there is something strange in this cave, what exactly is it?"
"Here!" Belin took the lead to walk to the bottom of the cave, and then pulled the moss off the cave wall with her hands.
Under the moss, there is a large stone slab with engraved lines on it. Liang Lidong snorted, and then tore off all the moss on the stone slab. The true face of the stone slab was completely exposed. On the blue black stone, there were five patterns. The engravings on each pattern were quite messy, and the engravings interlaced to form strange round pictures.
"Looking at these patterns for a long time will make you dizzy." Belin explained.
Kyle nodded: "One time I didn't believe in evil, and kept staring, even if I was dizzy, I stared at it, and finally passed out."
In the eyes of ordinary people, the lines of these patterns are chaotic, but in Liang Lidong's eyes, these lines follow certain rules: "It's normal for you to feel dizzy, because your level is too low, and you haven't learned how to analyze magic formulas." Model structure. Kyle, you can no longer do such stupid things in the future, if you forcefully stare at these things for a long time, the coma is just a small thing, and if you don’t do it well, you will become mentally handicapped.”
"Why?" Kyle was taken aback.
The expression on Liang Lidong's face was very strange: "These are magic modeling diagrams, and they are the type I have never seen before."
