"His Royal Highness, I actually have a new idea. Although the elemental sword mark is indeed a discovery across the ages, in a sense, our application is too rough, and it is a waste of his development. We can start from the construction of spells. , to make it more autonomous and automated, after building the basic sword seal, use the basic sword seal to build the resurrection sword seal…”
Whenever Cohen wanted me to make an opinion, I was quite amazed when I listened to the long list of terms that I couldn’t understand, who was the mentor and who was the disciple.
"The wizard genius who strives to become a knight, a rookie knight who also practices gold and magic, and Princess Renee of the Gentlemen's League. My knights are really a bunch of weirdos."
In a sense, none of these three can be said to be outstanding talents, but it seems that they are all getting farther and farther from the road of knighthood, especially the little Cohen in front of him. He has fully proved himself without knowing it. talent.
Spell? Spell formula construction? You don't need to think about it at all, you can do it by instinct.
For the Son of Elements, magic is just a manifestation of will, and conventional spells are just a proof process that has already obtained a classic formula. Just like a mathematician can deduce countless new formulas, the Son of Elements can create countless spells.
I think I know why Heloise asked me to fool this little Cohen. The human elemental son, the dwarf son of thunder, and the elves' moon son are regarded as sons given by gods.
The Son of Thunder is good at melee combat and forging, while the Son of the Moon is a genius of divine arts. They are quite similar in that they are amazing geniuses in some aspects. It would be a pity to waste such talent like this.
My Four Spirit Swordsmen follow the generalization and simplification route, directly jumping the basic theoretical accumulation, so that ordinary warriors can also master a certain ability to use elements, and as long as they become skilled element users, they can naturally Reverse the magic theory.
"The most difficult step is the first step. Many are not qualified to become strong, but only limited by talent, and they can't even take the first step."
For Cohen, it was a whole new world.
Yes, my arms lack strength, so I have the sword mark of the imperial envoy to replace them.
Yes, I can't run fast or jump far, so let the mark representing the wind be my wings.
Yes, my sword cannot penetrate the dragon's hard scales. Then, let the thunder of the mark be the tip of my sharp sword.
The ideal of becoming a knight gave Cohen endless motivation, and Heloise became endless theoretical support, with new harvests and new progress every day.
In my eyes, the level of this kid is rising at a strange speed. Yesterday, he was a four-spirit swordsman at level fifteen, and he jumped to level seventeen today. Maybe it will be twenty in two days.
And his efforts have indeed enriched the new profession of Four Spirit Swordsman.
"Xuanwu Sword Seal - Ice Snake Wrap."
The ice magic power spread with the ground, invisible and invisible, but it suddenly erupted under the opponent's feet, freezing the opponent's ankle.
"The most important thing is the characteristics. Ice freezing, lightning paralysis, fire burning, just using it as a temporary enchant to increase attack power is too wasteful. We can open up various magic sword skills according to their own characteristics. ."
"Look, the spread of ice magic is too slow. Even if it is attached to the sword to freeze the opponent through confrontation, it also wants a lot of time, but in fact it is invisible and very hidden. We can come quietly."
Well, although it is limited to ability, Cohen has not opened up a new sword mark, but just changing the fighting method and opening up the use skills suitable for elemental special effects will increase the comprehensive combat power of this new type of occupation by more than 30%.
But the most important thing is that he can listen to the elemental voice and find out the progress of this new profession. I am afraid that other elemental sword skills will also be opened up.
[Congratulations to the host for mastering the new magic sword skill Xuanwu Sword Seal - Ice Snake Wrap, this skill will be incorporated into the professional system of the Four Spirit Swordsmen. System prompt: Reward for inventing new skills? Are you too embarrassed to ask me for a reward? How does it feel to be taught a new skill by your apprentice? Can the old face still hang on? How long do you think he can keep fooling around with his progress like this?]
And the system did not live up to expectations and jumped out to ridicule me, so, for the sake of the master's dignity, I could only put more effort into research.
Not to mention, people are forced out. When I released the composite sword seal of "Death Frost Sword Seal" that combines the power of ice and the power of death, even Heloise looked at me with admiration.
The black snow that blows has the dual magic power of corrosion and freezing, and it is extremely fatal to the living.
Of course, this straightforward and unskilled naming is definitely not my handwriting. "Sleeping Turtle Sword Mark" was rejected by them, which made me sullen for a while.
"The magic of death is the lazy sword mark, and the ice is Xuanwu. The combination of the two is the lazy Xuanwu—the sleeping turtle? This naming method is too cool. For the sake of future junior brothers and sisters, I would like to ask you to go home. Play by yourself."
Listening to what this is all about, but judging from the nods of the people around me, I reluctantly swallowed the bitter fruit.
"Actually, I also thought of a name for your Jianyin..."
And Eliza, who quickly took the lead in the team, also invented her own special sword seal. The destruction sword that combines the power of demons and fire is extremely powerful and evil, but it is obviously impossible for others to use.
"I guess? With your bizarre naming and poor vocabulary, demons would probably be considered 'angry' by you, and fire is Suzaku's word... Angry Suzaku?"
"No, Angry Birds. And your sword seal that combines ice and fire, Song of Ice and Fire! It's a pity, I still have a few names that I don't use. If the combination of wind and earth, Qinglong plus White Tiger, it can also be called Dragon Tiger Fight! If there is ice and wind, Xuanwu will add Qinglong, Dragon and Snake Romance!"
I said triumphantly, and then the disciples around said nothing, nodded and dispersed, but no one asked me for the name again...
…
Red Maple City, a small town in the Sluwell Kingdom, is not well-known, but it is very meaningful to me.
When I was dealing with the orc army in the north, this ancient city was also our temporary headquarters. If I remember correctly, there are still many historical traces left, and there is even a past war exhibition hall.
But at this time, the city has become the focus of attention of the countries in the extreme north.
reason? This city is not far from the capital of Sluwell, Antoun, and the area ahead has long been the territory of the orcs.
So naturally, this has become a gathering place for reinforcements from various countries.
I entered the city very early, the city gate had not yet officially opened, and I entered when the sky was still bright.
The city defense soldiers at that time wanted to stop me, but in a sense, in this land, my face is the best pass. Seeing my guards, I was stunned for a moment, and then I was excited. A salute, and then the door was opened.
"Open the door! Your Highness is down."
I nodded slightly in return, stepping on the snow that had not yet frozen solid, there was a creaking sound on the ground, looking at the heads of the orcs hanging on the city wall, I fell silent.
I am not a kind person, and I lack sentimental sensitivity. Along the way, I was even numb to such a scene. On the contrary, I was actually a little happy and relieved to see this scene.
reason? This is probably the case in the villages captured by orcs, but the human heads they hang belong to human beings, and the human-headed Jingguan (human-headed tower) built according to custom, naked young female corpses, and fallen children are even more I am silent.
This is war, the war I hate the most, because war is the ugliest thing in the world, it will legitimize all crimes and turn living people into living animals.
This is war, my favorite war. In the past, I believed that only war can protect my people. Only war can eliminate war. Along the way, I was called a hero, called a devil, and was called a butcher. It is a mountain of blood and corpses. I am afraid that the life in the hands of the most outrageous orc butcher is not as small as mine.
Even in the era when I was called a hero, I don’t know how many lives were taken from my hands. I was once regarded as a hero by humans, but as far as I know, in the kingdom of orcs, I was regarded as a butcher and a demon king. To be frightened to stop the cry of the child.
reason? Probably I was the first to imitate orcs, using elite light cavalry and air cavalry to put on a personal head on the orc plateau.
This is a war between nations, and more importantly, a racial war between orcs and humans. The two sides have been grumbling for a long time. When all this breaks out under legitimate excuses, no matter how ugly crimes will become sacred And the hero.
I am a hero? Is it the butcher? Is it the Demon King? I'm afraid it's all of the above. I've never considered myself a saint, but before those bastards who keep creating new wars are punished, it's still necessary for bastards like me to continue to live in this world.
When the real villains are sitting high in the temple and being worshipped by the world, how can a little villain like me want to sleep alone
"Go! Bastard orcs!"
It was a group of orcs who were kicked and driven by the soldiers, but judging from their typical human clothing habits, they should be local residents and businessmen who have settled down for a long time.
In a sense, Sluwell's policy of rapport and friendship has indeed played a role. At least the trade between the two places has a history of decades. While the caravans and resident chambers of commerce have become normalized, both sides have differences. Few residents and traveling merchants live in other countries for a long time.
But obviously, the outbreak of this war was too sudden, and there was no possibility for the expatriates from various countries to evacuate, so they became the first refugees on both sides to suffer, and they became the victims of the disaster to vent their grievances. Human heads, in addition to orc invaders and spies, there will be no shortage of such civilians.
"Are they spies? Or spies?"
After hesitating for a moment, now that I have encountered it, I finally want to take care of it. If it is a soldier, I will not take care of it, but the massacre of civilians is even the craziest time I have never done it.
"You... you are His Royal Highness Roland!!"
The young soldier called out my name in surprise, but the orcs were paralyzed with fright, and some children even started to cry. It seems that even after all this time, my reputation is still as loud as ever.
In this case, the next step is simple. When I asked these orcs who had settled here for decades, they were sent to the slave market for auction, and I bought them directly.
Of course, those little furry children cried even more. I am afraid that in their minds, I am the worst buyer. Maybe I plan to buy them and use them to make broth and barbecue.
"Eliza."
"You are still hypocritical in inexplicable places as always, but I just like you. I know, your wish is my order. I will buy a chamber of commerce here, I don't know if I can survive, but at least It's better than selling it as a slave. If you become a slave at this time, even a child will become a military medal for the second-generation ancestors of the nobles."
I nodded and said nothing. Eliza is much better than me in these aspects. If she can't do it well, I can't do it well myself.
Hypocrite? There's really no room for objection.
I know that I am a hypocrite, because I just saved a few orc civilians willfully, and now I have to think about how to take the lives of more orcs.
"Where is the joint headquarters? Where are the nobles of the royal palaces? Why haven't the war started yet, are they planning to watch Antoun fall?"
