Integrating into nature, is a very peculiar cultivation method of the warrior monk's lineage, this method should be regarded as a mutated version of the ethereal body, this method of the ultimate pursuit of oneself and the whole world's communication, this kind of cultivation method that is completely devoted to nature, in fact, is also a very small number among the warrior monks, but it is very close to the druid.
Generally speaking, the warrior monks who practice this method are first-class hermits who seek their own primordial self the most, they have little interest in fighting, they prefer to think about their own meaning to nature, for example, how did I get here? Where am I going? Who the hell am I? It seems like nonsense, but it's actually a very profound question. (Much like Zen meditation)
Often the warrior monks of this school will sit in meditation for a long time once they think, there was once a data reality, there was once a legendary warrior monk, who cultivated to the highest level of integration into nature, and his longest zazen took a thousand years, and now the place where the warrior monk sitting, there is a stone similar to the warrior monk's zazen.
Well, that stone is the warrior monk, and that guy was idle and bored a thousand years ago and started sitting in meditation, and has been doing so until now. But no one can be sure if the monk is dead, and certainly no one can be sure that he is alive.
Because no matter how you probe that stone, you will only come to one conclusion, and that is a stone! But all the warrior monks and monasteries in the Far East insisted that it was the legendary warrior monk, and organized a group of elite warrior monks to be stationed there, and no one was allowed to disturb the master's meditation.
So until now, no one has been able to break that stone and see what is inside.
However, this also shows the two major characteristics of integrating into nature, first, integrating into nature can make people completely become a part of the natural world, for example, if you cultivate a warrior monk who integrates into nature, he wants others to think that he is a stone, then in the eyes of others he is a stone.
Second, when integrating into nature to reach the highest level, then you can truly achieve immortality, although I don't know the specific lifespan, but the period of this immortality is very long, to the point of despairing ordinary people.
And Castro hasn't practiced at home yet, so he can't live forever, in fact, Castro is not just not practicing at home, he is simply practicing crookedly!
Originally, Castro's warrior monk mentor felt that Castro was too obsessed with external desires, and he always had hidden ambitions in his heart, and he was not suitable for following the path of warrior monks, so he would teach the cultivation method of integrating into nature.
This method will not directly improve combat effectiveness, but it can cultivate one's self and prolong one's life, which can be regarded as an expectation for Castro.
As a result, Castro was really a bit crooked, and he stubbornly turned integrating into nature into a cultivation method that specialized in stealth. It can even be said that he has taken the effect of integrating natural confusion audition to the extreme.
In fact, he has reached the point where he can deceive everything, for example, he infiltrated Solam's mansion, you must know that Solam's mansion is well defended, and only the Mage Tower can match, but even so, no one has found any trace of his infiltration.
That's what he's capable of.
Magical defense is a thing that focuses on a trigger mechanism. For example, although Solam's mansion is heavily defended, those defensive spells can't be triggered by a gust of wind or a bird, and if that were the case, Soram and the others must not be annoyed to death?
And Castro took advantage of this, he made himself the wind, and when he walked through those defensive circles, the trigger mechanism of the defensive circles did not respond at all, because the circles did not react to the wind. Castro made this piece of nature think he was the wind.
So Castro walked in with a swagger, and all the people who met him during the period thought it was a gust of wind blowing and didn't care. This is also the origin of Castro's name, he is like a cold wind blowing, carrying with him the life and body temperature of the enemy.
Of course, some people have to say, if Castro is so strong, why is he still caught by the Church of Dread, and he is still subservient to Adrian?
This is going to talk about Castro's weakness, his infiltration is a very dick, basically as long as he wants to dive in, there are few places he can't go, but there is one problem that can't be solved, that is, it takes "a little" time for him to start integrating into nature, yes, he can't start to integrate into nature as he wants.
As I said before, he was crooked. He can't communicate with nature anytime and anywhere like an orthodox warrior monk, he has to calm down and enter this state in zazen, and this process takes at least an hour.
An hour! For Castro, this means that he only has one chance to make a move on a person, and if he fails, then he will no longer be able to integrate into his natural state. He can only rely on his original skills to fight.
Castro was a typical skillful assassin. His skills were already quite strong, and he knew many of the advanced skills of the Assassin profession, such as the Versatile Skill (which is why he could use scrolls)
But he didn't dabble in supernatural powers, not that he looked down on the supernatural powers of the assassins, but that he didn't have time at all, after all, the cultivation of integrating into nature was very difficult for those warrior monks with pure hearts and few desires, not to mention Castro, a six-rooted impure guy.
Therefore, most of his time was spent on cultivating into nature, so the rest of the time had to be cultivated as an assassin, and as for the mastery of those advanced supernatural powers, he was really unable to do so.
But his talent is indeed outstanding, and he has now basically perfected the skills of the assassin profession.
It's nothing, no matter what, it can kill people. But it also caused him a little trouble, that is, the lack of escape ability. For example, the shadow jump, which is standard for high-level assassins, he won't. Of course, this deficiency is relative, and under normal circumstances, no one can catch him at all.
But now the situation is different, the defense of Solam's mansion is the kind of internal and external repair, every inch of the entire mansion is covered with magic, and it is difficult for him to run. Otherwise, Soram wouldn't have spent so much money, knowing that a few million gold coins would be enough to build a pretty good mage tower.
In fact, Castro was already frightened when he entered the interior of the mansion, which is a house, it is simply a tiger's den in Longtan, but the pride of being a legend makes him not plan to retreat.
What's more, he has confidence in himself, and he is terrific to kill it! There is a saying that as long as all the witnesses are killed, then the stealth is successful.
But the premise of this sentence is that he is sure to kill it.
