Zhao Xu, who was walking on the ground of Yanan, still had Antinoya's last advice swirling in his mind.
"Anyone who possesses cursed fire will surely see strange behavior."
The characteristics of cursed fire owners vary from skills, talents and even the magical energy in their bodies.
Once you have cursed fire, the easiest way is to heal or create explosive flame waves, or even absorb the magical effects of contact with it.
As for those who have mastered the curse fire, they can even achieve more effects.
Such as releasing multiple waves of cursed fire at once or even flying directly by controlling the cursed fire.
Compared with magic driven by "spells and incantations", the power of magic, such as cursed fire, is a more primitive and unfettered ability.
But even though Antinoya and him described a lot of cursed fire effects.
Zhao Xu still failed to awaken this "curse fire" energy immediately.
It's as if his "luck card" has expired and needs to be recharged at regular intervals.
According to rumors, in every era, there will only be one person who awakens the cursed fire.
In other words, if Zhao Xu awakens the Curse Fire in this generation, it means that Wang Ningwei, Eswig and others of the same generation have lost the opportunity to awaken the Curse Fire.
Even among the goddess electors who possess silver fire, only the most senior ones can reach the threshold of the cursed fire.
Zhao Xu, who was walking silently towards his house at this time, was still thinking about the most typical uses pointed out by Antinoya.
When the first curse fire is used, it can absorb the spells that target it as a prepared action, just like "absorbing the scepter".
You know, the legendary "Absorption Scepter" worth 50,000 gold coins is a "spell magnet" that can absorb targeted spells and store the energy in the body of the staff.
The holder of the absorbing scepter can also cast the energy absorbed into the scepter as a spell.
For example, absorbing six-level spells and three-level spells stores nine-level spell energy, which can be used to cast a number of spells with a total number of nine levels.
An absorbing scepter can only absorb 50 levels of energy. After the total absorbed 50-level spells are released, the scepter will turn back into an ordinary wooden stick.
50,000 gold coins fell directly to worthless.
Because wooden sticks are easily picked up on the roadside.
However, "cursed fire" is not so exaggerated and cannot be equivalent to an infinite absorption scepter.
Zhao Xu currently has a constitution of 27 and an adjustment value of 8. He can absorb a total of 8 levels of spell energy.
However, he cannot cast it as a spell level. Instead, he can shoot cursed fire energy arrows like silver fire, and the damage is only 1-6 energy points per level.
The rest of the usage is for healing damage. One ring heals 2 points of damage, which is better than nothing.
So Zhao Xu thought about it several times.
Apart from the powerful effect of this "absorption spell", it was difficult for him to figure out why "cursed fire" was a more advanced power than "silver fire".
Not to mention, it is still an extremely critical "key"
Just as Zhao Xu was concentrating and thinking, he quickly arrived at his house in the capital.
In order to avoid confusion at first, Zhao Xu did not arrange his parents in the office building within the Magic Association, but in a luxurious house not far away, also considering that this way the area could be wider.
Zhao Xu's family is not the kind of extravagant and lustful people.
I just can’t stand it. Humans are all social animals.
As order in Yanan began to be established, close relatives and friends of the Zhao Xu family were slowly transferred to the capital of Yanan.
At this time, through contact with Zhao's father and mother, who already have an extraordinary status, no matter how stupid they are, they will realize the connection between Zhao Xu and the legendary "Midsummer".
On the one hand, it is because Zhao Xu's parents want to live together as a family, and the unified accommodation is really convenient for management and material distribution, and security is also guaranteed.
Don't worry too much and provoke the jealousy and evil hands.
So at first, Zhao Xu left enough margin and arranged a large house with dozens of houses for his parents.
After all, the season is difficult, so we can only arrange it according to the one-room-per-family arrangement.
Unexpectedly, dozens of rooms were filled with all kinds of relatives and friends who came to seek refuge within two days.
And everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, taking the initiative to center on the room of Father Zhao and Mother Zhao, and gradually spread according to the distance of the relationship.
As the room was suddenly packed, relatives who were not so well-informed and not close to each other rushed over and bowed their heads.
But they were unwilling to leave. They would rather make a living on the floor in the hall to survive, and they could even enjoy the daily meals for free.
Not to mention that a heavy rain is approaching. No one can guess how long the heavy rain will last. No matter how reserved and thin-skinned the relatives of Zhao Xu's family are, they still have to consider the safety of their husbands, wives, children, and the elderly at home.
Even more so, he packed his bags carefully and rushed over regardless.
Father Zhao himself comes from a family with a strong clan style, and their family tree with the surname Zhao was even rebuilt not long ago.
Originally, we could only communicate remotely by phone, relying on the branch of memory, but now a family group can include hundreds of people.
My childhood friends who had not seen each other for decades and were somewhat unfamiliar with each other were reconnected through the "group".
Only then did Zhao Xu understand.
The number of "relatives" in his impression was not just the ones he visited during holidays.
The only children of their generation naturally have few brothers and sisters.
But his grandparents, even his parents, and even the relatives and friends of his parents' generation are not of the same order of magnitude when stacked together.
Even these people have their own close relatives, such as in-laws, which are countless.
And Zhao Xu's mother herself is also a soft-hearted person.
She even believed that Zhao Xu's sudden ascension to heaven at this time was somehow due to God's blessing, and she didn't know how much blessing his ancestors had accumulated in exchange for it.
It is natural to do more good deeds for him and accumulate blessings, so that he can be safe in the rest of his life.
At the same time, it was okay for adults to suffer. She really couldn't stand the sight of children suffering. Naturally, she would not refuse any relatives who came to seek refuge.
Naturally, in the end, Zhao Xulu successively arranged three large townhouses for his family, with more than a hundred rooms, and the place was still overcrowded.
Obviously, each room is allocated to one person per household, so there are only three or five people registered.
But when each family moves in and continues to pack in their own relatives, a dozen or so people often end up sharing a room on the ground floor.
Before this heavy rainstorm passes, no one will easily leave this "house" in Yanan, which is definitely the strongest and will be protected until the last moment.
As long as Zhao Xu is still alone, he will make the choice everyone expected.
But accommodation is a problem, food is another matter.
The initial food rationing in Yanan was based on the working population, and the food distributed was rice and gruel.
At this time, even senior farmers in the countryside, no matter how talented they are, cannot save the time of sowing and harvesting and dig out food from the soil.
Naturally, without Zhao Xu's instructions, the supplies his family was allocated must be of the highest quality.
Under the influence of Zhao Xu's four-ring war magic "creating military rations", the command of individual soldiers with a population of three to four thousand people was not a big problem in the first place.
Therefore, according to the idea of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, all the registered relatives gathered together to eat three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and opened up the supply. The food was the best in the wilderness at this time, not to mention how much they could eat. How much, you can't pack it up and take it away.
But as every family tried their best to squeeze in people, a familiar strange phenomenon naturally occurred.
A unit has a designated number of 300 people, but the actual number is thousands.
The usual welfare distribution is naturally shared among thousands of people.
At this time, although the population of Jiasai could still eat porridge and other things by going out to participate in the work of Yanan, it was much inferior to the daily fixed meals of the Zhao family.
In the end, Zhao's mother couldn't bear it, and every day, each room was used as a unit, and meals for three people were packed back after meals.
As for how to distribute it equally to the remaining people after returning, that is a matter for each family.
Everyone was taking care of him, and Zhao Xu had no burden.
Even if his mother can be happier, even if Zhao Xu casts seven or eight more war spells in a row, it's just a piece of cake.
But Zhao's father has been immersed in the shopping mall for many years and directly pointed out that if he really dared to come and not refuse, the relatives and friends brought by each family would also take care of him.
This will only cause the snowball to get bigger and bigger.
The number of people to be supplied the next day becomes 3,000,
On the third day, there were ten thousand people, and eventually even the entire capital of Yanam relied on various connections to allow him to supply unlimited supplies.
So at this time, the extra food is distributed according to each house. How many people can be taken care of with the food of three people is up to each person. Although he also knew that each family would definitely get more than one, he still turned a blind eye.
As Zhao Xu returned to his extremely noisy home in a matter of seconds, when the guards in the outermost circle saw him, they hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed to him to show their deepest respect.
These guards, known as the first-come-first-served moon by the civilians outside, are the most elite beings in Yanan who can be in contact with them at all times.
In an instant, several young men who had just finished eating and were sitting at the door chatting and spanking immediately stood up excitedly, straightened their backs and shouted.
"Brother Xu, are you here?"
"Have you taken some time out of your busy schedule today?"
"Hurry up and sit down, I'll call Auntie out."
"Auntie, Brother Xu is back!"
For a time, as the sound waves spread, the entire townhouse seemed to have been torn apart by the early morning rooster's silence. For a time, every room made a noisy sound, with the sound of various tables and chairs being pushed and running, as if everyone was Everyone took action because of Zhao Xu's arrival.
Zhao Xu also felt a little headache about this.
In fact, he really didn't know any of the people standing at the door.
On the one hand, these people were not old enough to be specially introduced to him by his parents during his rare visits home.
Now every time he comes home for a rare gathering, his parents will always pull him in front of him to introduce them to him.
Those who were standing at the door to catch the autumn breeze would naturally not get this opportunity on weekdays, so they could only go to the door and wait for the opportunity. I never expected that they would actually encounter them.
It's just that Zhao Xu himself is extremely fast, and he can even activate the "Advanced Flash Technique" at any time, seamlessly switching all the way to the courtyard.
Even if there is an extremely thick wall standing in front of him, Zhao Xu can see through it without any mistakes at this time, and he will not feel any obstacle at all.
Zhao Xu also did not bother to educate these distant relatives who were too full to participate in the construction work in Yanan.
To be honest, he already somewhat understands the thinking of some big families in ancient times. Why do they still have to support a lot of family members even though they know this is not good
Although these people seemed a little lazy looking at them, he, who had the ability to read minds, could feel the sincere joy they expressed when they met Zhao Xu.
Even the "affectionate" way they called Zhao Xu's parents could not be faked at all.
Unlike in the outside world, you can always encounter a few thoughts such as "I can replace you" and "You are just lucky".
Of course, there are also people in the world who hate to see the good things of their relatives.
However, at this time, Zhao Xu had grown too far and had even become the bread and butter of everyone. Naturally, his thoughts were no longer as "narrow" as they were at the beginning.
It can be said that everyone staying in this house at this time even wished for Zhao Xu to be more brilliant.
Soon, Zhao Xu also came to the hall. At this time, his parents were naturally sitting at the top of the table. Among the relatives of the Zhao family, all those of a certain seniority were also gathered here, but there were still only a few who were qualified to sit on a stool.
Most of the young people were still standing on the edge of the hall, staring here with wide eyes.
At this time, most of the elders in the family nodded happily to Zhao Xu. Even Zhao Xu's grandmother and grandmother would smile from ear to ear as he nodded, as if they had met the happiest person. Same thing.
All of this is far different from when Zhao Xu returned to his hometown and sat in obscurity with a large family to eat.
For a moment, seeing that Zhao Xu was no longer as cold as before, Zhao Xu's close relatives, uncles and aunts began to speak to Zhao Xu.
"Xiao Xu, you just stay for dinner tonight."
"Yes, I haven't seen you in so many years. We have to have a good chat tonight."
"That's right, our old Zhao family has a person like you, which can be regarded as the lintel of the family."
Zhao Xu even opened his mouth three times and couldn't respond.
Zhao Xu's family is not a dull fool, and they always pay attention to a bowl of water in everything.
These are the direct collateral blood relatives who are the closest to Zhao Xu's family, and they also receive the most care in private. Even the most resources are obtained from Mother Zhao who is responsible for the distribution. It can be said that Mother Zhao takes good care of her relatives and friends.
Even those on the stool no longer need the free meal at Zhao Xu's house.
But no one left the house. Even if they were not hungry, everyone would show up on time to share the meal with Father Zhao and Mother Zhao.
Because everyone understands that staying in this family and getting close to Zhao Xu's parents is the most important thing, and this is related to the future.
"Xiao Xu, thank God, you are finally here."
After seeing Zhao Xu return at this time, Zhao's mother finally let go of her heavy heart and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Hurry up and take a look at your Aunt Liu's daughter. How is she doing now?"
Zhao Xu's face was heavy.
He had already seen a girl lying on the ground with a pale face and a breath of air.
This was the reason why his mother was eager for him to come back, and Zhao Xu had no choice but to take a half-day leave from Antinoya.
