Lucien, who had confirmed his thinking, was in a happy mood. He picked up the meat-cutting dagger beside the fire and sliced a piece of crocodile meat, skewered it on the grill, and kept flipping it while smearing the salt-like things unique to this world.
After a while, the meat of the crocodile dragon turned golden yellow, the oil sizzled, and the fragrance was extremely strong.
Natasha swallowed a mouthful of saliva, habitually reached out and snatched the crocodile meat, stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely: "I'll eat this skewer first."
This sentence is like lifting the curse of the spell, and Honasan, Cecilia and others who have always turned the surroundings into background pictures "returned" to the world again.
They either inhaled or whispered or looked at the "monster couple" in front of them in astonishment and fear. No one dared to speak for a while, and their hearts were full of thoughts.
Is this world still real
Lucien, who was in a good mood, continued to slice the crocodile meat with his dagger, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Do you want to try it?"
As long as he doesn't think about arcane and magic issues, he has always been a polite and dignified gentleman.
"No, no need..." Cynthia stammered first, who knows if this "monster" roasts the meat weirdly! What if it turns into a crocodile after eating it
The experienced old wizard Honathan took two deep breaths, managed to stabilize the churning emotions and thoughts in his heart, and squeezed out a stiff smile: "Compared with the meat of the crocodile dragon, I am more curious about why you are here, Mr. Evans. After only half a day of exposure to 'human body refining', you have initially mastered it and completed the first refining?"
No matter from any aspect, he can't accept such a thing. Even if the facts are right in front of him, he still wants to find other reasons and other factors. For example, they are lying. In fact, they have already studied "human body refining" It's just that I haven't had time to transform myself, so I took this opportunity to frighten myself and others.
The possibility of this explanation is not low, after all, the so-called "City in the Sky" only stays in their verbal description.
For normal people, when something that challenges their common sense and cognition occurs, the first reaction must be how is this possible, and then it immediately becomes "there must be a ghost", "it's fake news", "it's just that I'm temporarily I haven't seen where there is a problem", "There must be other explanations that conform to common sense", of course, in most cases, things that violate common sense are indeed problematic, and contain other purposes of those with ulterior motives, but this It does not mean that it will never happen, and common sense does not mean it is correct.
Lucien took a bite of the fat-filled barbecue, and said with a smile on his face: "In the 'City of the Sky', everyone believes that behind the changing world, there must be unchanging laws. I just put my The basic laws that are usually summed up from other aspects are applied to the 'human body training', and it is so quickly and initially mastered."
This is definitely the big truth among the big truths.
"The unchanging law behind the changes...isn't this the 'holy blood'?" Gullero, who was listening, was the one who had the deepest understanding of "human body forging" among the apprentices, and he immediately compared Lucien's words with "human body forging" In addition to "refining the human body", can we find traces of the existence of "holy blood" from other aspects, from pure thinking
Lucien thought for a while, then said with a flat smile: "In our 'City of the Sky', there is no concept of 'holy blood', I don't know what the basic law has to do with it, or it doesn't actually exist at all, it's just a basic concept." synonymous with law."
For the second half of the sentence, if Lucien hadn't mastered and completed the first "human body refining" in front of everyone at the fastest speed in history, many wizard apprentices would definitely stand up and scold him now, but this At that time, although everyone implicitly resisted and rejected, they also lost their absolute confidence and the feeling of being insulted.
"Unchanging law..." Hornasan repeated without asking any more questions, and didn't know how to ask. He turned to look at the coachmen next to him and ordered them to barbecue.
Then, he pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Evans, Ms. Natasha, the teeth, venom and claws of the crocodile dragon are all precious refining materials, and I want to buy them from you."
The Crocodile is a wizard-level monster, and the materials on it are valuable, and they are quite useful to Hornathan.
Lucien and Natasha looked at each other and nodded lightly: "No problem, Mr. Hornathan, let's exchange it with other basic refining materials, well, there must be a few gems among them."
This guy seems to want to delve deeper into the mysteries of "human body formation"... Huo Nasang felt a sense of loss for no reason. It took him ten years from the initial contact to the ability to independently carry out "human body formation". And the other party, um, the other party probably has a problem, not necessarily what they said!
The coachman was busy roasting the meat, but the apprentices and guards by the fire fell silent. The only sound left in the camp was the sound of the wind, the snorting of the camels, and the hissing.
Under such weird circumstances, the dinner was over and the night passed, and the team continued on their journey.
At noon, the team arrived at "Xiasha City".
Lucien and Natasha went shopping together, doing their duty as travelers, such as appreciating the customs of different places, such as tasting various types of food, such as collecting available books related to "human body training", It's really leisurely.
The only problem is that the two are accompanied by two followers, which lacks the atmosphere of a two-person world.
"Without us leading the way, you don't want to eat this Ruhr Pie." Cynthia said proudly, but compared to yesterday, her body language and the meaning of her expression were all filled with a touch of awe and curiosity, and at the same time A little embarrassed and shy, after all, she was the one who scolded Lucien the most and harshly yesterday.
"I'm doing it for Sister Natasha's good!"—that's how she comforted herself.
Natasha clapped her hands in satisfaction: "It's nice to have a guide."
"But it's also fun to explore by yourself." Lucien said with a smile.
Cecilia raised her hand to block a wave of yellow sand, and then opened her mouth, summoning up her courage and saying, "Mr. Evans, I was really sorry yesterday. We were too, too blind and arrogant."
"It's okay, the main reason is that Natasha likes to tarnish my image, and her words are misleading." Lucien smiled indifferently.
Natasha chuckled: "Who told you that your image is so good, it's really embarrassing!"
While the two were talking, Cynthia whispered in Cecilia's ear, "They have such a good relationship, it's really enviable."
"Yeah, I don't know what your future husband will be like." Cecilia joked narrowly with her friend.
"Oh, I have high eyesight!" Cynthia blushed.
Seeing that Lucien didn't mind her and Cynthia's attitude yesterday, Cecilia asked the question that had been lingering in her mind all night: "Mr. Evans, how did you sum up the basic laws? What are the basic laws? For example, the sun The law of operation? Well, if this is related to your secrets, I will pretend that I did not ask, and I am sorry."
"In 'City of the Sky', everyone is encouraged to share knowledge about this aspect, because the closer to the essence of the world, the more difficult it is. Only by unremitting communication and hard work from generation to generation can progress be expected. We are not afraid of making mistakes. Afraid that we cannot accept our mistakes, we are not afraid of knowledge sharing, but we are afraid of blind imagination without knowledge." As an arcanist, Lucien has a hobby of spreading the spirit of arcane arts.
Cecilia and Cynthia felt a little unacceptable and a little shocked, so they didn't answer for a while.
Lucien said gently: "We study the world, explore different phenomena in the world, summarize the laws, apply the laws, modify the laws, and get closer to reality step by step, such as the movement of the sun, such as other simpler laws, Like when you hit someone with your fist, did you feel the power of the shock?"
"Of course, what's wrong with this?" Cynthia asked inexplicably. Isn't this a normal phenomenon? There is no rule at all.
Lucien smiled: "We can abstract it, summarize it into laws, and then apply it to other places. Think about it..."
When he was popularizing the arcane science for the two little girls, Honasan was talking with a middle-aged man in the Wizard's Tower in Xiasha City.
"I don't think it was the first day he came into contact with 'human body refining'." The man, who had not seen the situation with his own eyes, believed this reason even more. He had two raised horns on his forehead, which were red and crystal clear, like flames and precious stones. Fusion, "But there is no doubt that the city of the sky must be weird. That woman can defeat the crocodile dragon without refining and transforming. There is definitely a problem. It is worth our research. Maybe we can find the 'holy blood' from her blood." ' the mystery."
"I also think so. It is absolutely impossible for someone to apply some basic laws and master the 'human body' in one day. This is not a dream!" Hornasan also affirmed his own idea. Do not believe this possibility.
The middle-aged man opposite Huonasang is the lord of the "Xiasha City", the next wizard Nemo. He said in a dignified, low-pitched and excited way: "We have to catch them and study their secrets carefully. Help us go higher and further, and build the 'ladder of sages'."
"But their strength..." Huo Nasang said with some worry, the strange girl can defeat the crocodile dragon, at least equal to her own, and her husband has only shown the ability of "human body refining", the real strength is unknown, even more Worrying, "Why don't we talk to them first?"
"What can you come up with in exchange for such a secret? Since you are worried, let's try it out first." Nemo dispelled Hornathan's thoughts with one sentence. "Equivalent exchange" is the common world view of alchemists and wizards. It doesn't matter whether the equivalent items paid are treasures, secrets, or their own strength.
There was a sneer on his face.
...
The two little girls who were confused and inexplicably excited by the arcane explained by Lucien almost bumped into passers-by several times, making Natasha laugh out loud, then she patted Lucien on the shoulder and joked: : "If you were in Rentat, you'd already been reprimanded by the traffic police, lol."
The traffic in Rentat and its surrounding areas has developed rapidly, and alchemy cars have become popular. The National Police Agency had to separate some police officers as specialized personnel for maintaining order.
"Rentat?" Just as Cecilia and Cynthia were at a loss, the sky suddenly darkened. A long-necked strange bird with red feathers on its head descended from the sky and spit out a pillar of fierce burning fire at Natasha. The sharp claws that only shone with cold light also grabbed it fiercely.
At the same time, its wings flapped, setting off a blue gust of wind and sweeping towards Lucien.
As a knight with rich combat experience, Natasha pulled out her long sword the moment the strange bird appeared, and slashed obliquely on the pillar of fire from bottom to top.
Flames splashed from the blade of the sword, and small voids and gaps suddenly appeared, directly tearing the pillar of fire to pieces, extending to the claws of the strange bird, as if it could cut everything.
Shuttle between the two universes, neither Lucien nor Natasha can carry more matter, even their own bodies are reconstructed with soul and "gene blueprint" as the core, so this long sword is not the "sword of truth" ",
Besides, even if the "Sword of Truth" can be brought over, due to the difference between the two universes, it may not be able to exert its true quality, and it may only be equivalent to an ordinary alchemy weapon.
The long sword entangled in the illusory gap faced the claw of the strange bird, and made a crisp sound. The deep black claws immediately appeared with countless cracks like metal, and there was a cold light shining inside, which was not like the gap in this world. There is a fierce "fight".
Under the blow of the sword, the strange bird had no choice but to fly into the air, avoiding the sharp edge.
And the cyan wind from its wings whizzed towards Lucien's side. It was as sharp as a knife and powerful, "cutting" cracks in the ground.
A layer of silvery light flowed from Lucien's body, and a faint breeze swirled around his left hand, accurately reaching into the interval of the "gale wind", causing it to spin around itself, and then collapsed towards the sky like fireworks. Dissolution falls.
"Flame attendant!" Cecilia and Cynthia didn't recover until the first round of the strange bird's attack was repulsed, and screamed out the name of the monster. This is a monster comparable to the next wizard. It is said to be a half-life, half-alchemy monster created by the alchemists back then!
How did it appear here
Hasn't it always been the "pet" of those fallen wizards
This kind of monster that cannot naturally continue its offspring, once it appears, it may only be a sign that a wizard is nearby! Where is the lord of Xiasha City? He just watched other wizards and monsters attack the city
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the two of them, but they couldn't find the right way to deal with it. The green and inexperienced women could control their screams at this moment, and they didn't join the battle indiscriminately. up.
The flames turned into long snakes, continuously falling from the sky, igniting the house, and encircling the surroundings.
And the strong wind blew up, fueling the fire, planning to burn Lucien and Natasha to death in the center.
The monster called "Flame Attendant" seemed to be frightened by Natasha's sword just now, and no longer pounced, no longer tried to use his metal claws to counter the long sword with a strange feeling, and used his spray from a distance. Fire ability to hunt and kill enemies.
Natasha brandished her long sword, constantly cutting out the flames, and Lucien assisted from the side to prevent the wind blade from the wings of the strange bird. The two sides were in a balanced situation for a while.
In the sky, the next wizard, Nemo, watched this scene quietly, while the light blue wind swirled around him, supporting him.
"Fortunately, I tried it. This woman's talent is weird, comparable to the abilities brought about by those special training formations, and her combat power should have reached the level of ordinary low-level wizards." He is the best among low-level wizards.
Hornasan floated in the air a little uncomfortably, with a pair of iron-blue metal wings on his back, and as the wings continued to shake, he couldn't help heaving up and down: "Her husband is indeed talented, but his strength is at best. Comparable to a crocodile."
"Well, get ready, it's not difficult to deal with them." Nemo said with a sneer.
As soon as the words fell, Natasha, who had not fought back in the circle of flames, suddenly jumped up, jumped several meters high, and approached the "flame attendant" in one fell swoop.
The icy sword light flashed, and an illusory gap suddenly appeared, the gust of wind around the strange bird disintegrated from it, and the head was separated from the body with a click.
The blood fell to the ground along with pieces of strange metal, and the strange bird fell to pieces. It was really half-life and half-alchemy!
"The body is stronger than I imagined." Nemo said with a livid face, and then he narrowed his eyes, "However, I can still deal with it. Hurry up and get rid of her husband, and then come and help me."
This "flame attendant", which is equivalent to an ordinary low-level wizard, is his most precious alchemy monster. The others are at most at the level of ordinary wizards, and their flaws are obvious. Therefore, at this time, his heart hurts like a knife, and he can't wait to smash the two people below. There are tens of thousands of corpses.
I only hope that their secrets can be worthy of the "flame waiter"!
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his height, stretched out his five fingers, and the small horns on his forehead covered with patterned patterns burst into a fiery red light.
Boom!
The fireballs fell to the ground like stone bombs, causing violent explosions and blasting the streets into a mess.
Boom!
The ground paved with stone bricks suddenly arched, and bright red magma rushed out, making the surrounding area scorching hot.
Natasha walked swiftly, dodged the erupting magma, dodged the falling fireballs, kept jumping up, and attacked Nemo in the sky.
Nemo used flying alchemy items, and it was inconvenient to dodge, so he had to use fireballs, flame walls, etc. to stop Natasha's inhuman jump. Fireball, it is difficult to limit and narrow the range of activities of the strange girl.
The two battled vigorously, and soon the street was turned into ruins.
Cecilia and Cynthia next to them were both apprentices who had completed body training, and with the deliberate protection of Lucien and Natasha, they barely left the battlefield and looked back in shock and fear.
"Master Hornathan!"
"How could it be Lord Honassan?"
The two couldn't believe their eyes. Although they didn't know the other wizard, Lord Honathan, they would never admit that he was wrong. Why did he suddenly attack Mr. Evans!
Young and inexperienced, they still can't understand the temptation of the "talented secret" to a wizard, and they don't understand that there is no limit to greed.
Lucien held the sword in his right hand and controlled the wind with his left. Facing the old wizard Honassan, he walked swiftly and kept attacking around him.
Hornasan's strength is not as good as Nemo's, and the quality of his alchemy wings is far worse. Therefore, he can't fight while flying, so he has to descend to the ground and fully stimulate the ability of his body after refining.
His hands seemed to have turned into dusty stones, containing enormous power. Every time he punched, there was a violent sound of piercing the air, stirring up pieces of stone thorns. collapse.
For wizards, human body refinement brings not only all kinds of weird and strange abilities, but also subsidiary physical enhancements, some are strength, some are agility, some are defense, and so on, but this is not as good as the improvement of knights. Board is obvious.
Therefore, when facing Honasan, Lucien felt that he was fighting a knight who was also a mage. The usual combat tactics against mages were not effective, because although Honasan was not fast, he was extremely powerful. Big, with a body like a stone, the thrusts and slashes in Youdou can't hurt him at all.
The battle continued for a while, and Lucien gradually fell into a disadvantage, but his expression was full of contemplation, and he murmured to himself in a low voice: "It's still a bit close..."
Just when Honassan was a little stunned that he could still be in a daze during the battle, Lucien suddenly waved his hand and said loudly:
"Wait a minute!"
ah? Hornasan was a little stunned, and since he was not fast, he watched Lucien run to the end of the street in a hurry.
wait a minute
Did he think I was practicing with him? Did he think he was playing
After being stunned, the anger of being slighted and insulted rushed into Honassan's mind, which made him feel funny and furious.
But at this moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and the eyeballs seemed to jump out of the eye sockets, because he saw Lucien take out the "Water of Flamere" and other materials, and quickly draw a picture on the back of his right hand. Make it into an array!
Can you pause in the middle of the game and then improve yourself through "human body training"
This idea suddenly popped up in Hornassan's mind, let's not mention the first half, but the second half is something that people did
During the first "human body training", Hornathan could still tell himself that he was lying. He had studied "human body training" before, and his performance this time was accumulated over the years, but this time, he could no longer convince Don't worry about yourself, because only one day has passed since the first "human body training"!
Even if the sky is falling in front of Huo Nasang, he still can't believe that someone can master the secret of the second "human body refining" in one day and practice it by himself!
Shocked, he moved a little slower, and a long sword stretched out to stop him.
Lucien's performance just now also stunned Nemo, the next wizard, and was almost cut off from the sky by Natasha's sword. This also gave Natasha a glimpse of the opportunity, jumped out of the restricted circle, and killed Nemo and Horner. Sang also included in his own offensive range.
In this way, she was quickly at a disadvantage, but for a while, Nemo and Honasan also managed to defeat her.
At this time, Lucien finished drawing, took out the gem, and in the dreamlike expressions of Cecilia and others, activated the "human body refining" array again.
The light burst out, enveloping him, and the world gave a "gift".
When the light faded, his right hand had a skin-like pattern.
really, really done...
During this process, whether it was Nemo, Hornasan, Cecilia, or Cynthia, they all had a sense of unreality. When Lucien succeeded, this sense of unreality was suddenly shattered, and strong emotions were in their hearts. My heart exploded.
Is this something humans can do
This simply disintegrated my common sense, and I felt a splitting headache!
Lucien shook his right hand, frowned slightly and said, "It's not enough."
So, he unbuttoned his clothes and drew a formation on his chest in front of everyone.
The world is unreal again...
In less than a minute, the light flowed again, setting off the surroundings like a dream, and then, as Honathan "expected", Lucien succeeded again.
Cecilia and Cynthia were fine, they had never doubted the authenticity of Lucien's first "human transformation" before, no matter how surprised and shocked they were at this moment, how could it compare to the first time
"Hehe, I've been promoted to a wizard..."
"Hehe, why is it so easy..."
They thought blankly.
Nemo and Hornasan could no longer describe their feelings in words. Now that they said that they themselves had died long ago, they would probably believe it.
Lucien buttoned his clothes, shook his head, and nodded slightly: "It's almost there."
Then he carried the long sword and walked towards the battlefield.
Shock and fear coexisted in Hornasan's heart, perhaps affected by Lucien's "request for a timeout" just now, he blurted out subconsciously:
"Yes, can you stop fighting?"
He felt like he was about to collapse!
He was afraid that if they fought again, the other party would complete the fourth, fifth, and sixth "human body training", and he would definitely collapse to the point of committing suicide!
And, most importantly, is this kind of monster beyond common sense that humans can contend with
Faced with this absurd request, Lucien actually thought about it seriously, and then said solemnly: "That's fine, but you have to kill him first."
Lucien pointed to Nemo, and then flew up surrounded by the breeze—the two "human body training" he just completed were from Cecilia's book, which was the continuation of "The Ring of Wind Control" and became After the wizard, you can fly without relying on alchemy items.
At this time, Nemo was so shocked that his mind was in a mess. Under the joint attack of Lucien, Natasha and Honassan, he died soon.
"Take me to his wizard's tower, and then we'll continue on our way to La Seine." Lucien valued Nemo's alchemy books the most.
Hornasan said with trepidation: "Okay, we will arrive at Lasena in two days."
Lucien and Natasha nodded at the same time, what would the "Lucien" of this world be like
At this time, the sky was suddenly completely black, and there were lightning flashes one after another on the edge of the desert in the distance, gathering into eggs.
"Another coming?" Natasha looked at this scene with a little surprise.
Lucien closed his eyes and sensed it, and said a little uncertainly: "It should come from the research institute of the Necromancer World. I don't know if it's the speaker or Yinyue."
There must be a god-like being in order to bring a legendary peak here.
"This is really an interesting travel activity." Natasha sighed with emotion.
The roar of thunder was deafening.
