009 A secret base for boys and girls
After eating a simple lunch, Liang Lidong asked Kyle if he could take him around the village to have a look, and the boy naturally agreed, he wished he had more time to communicate with Liang Lidong.
As an aspiring teenager, Kyle knows that he has too few channels to gain knowledge and knowledge, although he can often go into the city with his grandfather, and occasionally meet one or two 'big people' in the city, but others can only chat with his grandfather for a few words, and a child like him can't get into the sight of those big people at all, let alone communicate with him. Kyle knows very well that he is indeed better than the children of the same age in the village, whether it is in terms of combat ability or knowledge, but he also knows that a person of his level is nothing compared to the noble heirs in the city.
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 and her face each other, ten of him is not enough for the other party to fight alone, and what is even more sad is that the difference in status between the two sides makes him have no qualifications to challenge the city lord's daughter at all, he is just a descendant of a rural nobleman who has fallen at the end, and the other party is a magician, even if he has no aristocratic status, he can still look down on him from above.
The saddest thing in the world is not that there are no ideals, but that there are ideals but there is no way to move forward. People who don't have ideals are actually happy, they can live every day smoothly and steadily, and people who have ideals but can't realize them have to endure the gap between reality and ideals every day, and are depressed.
Kyle has always wanted to be a mercenary, traveling around and punishing evil for 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 achieve them, no one tells him how to take the first step, and no one can tell him what kind of knowledge he needs to learn to become a good mercenary.
Now that there was a real spellcaster who had come to his home and was willing to communicate with him, treating him not as a child, but as an equal, how could Kyle not take advantage of this opportunity. Although the priest didn't seem to approve of him becoming a mercenary, he said a lot of things, Kyle now at least knew that it would cost a lot of money to become a magician, at least their family couldn't afford the funds he needed to learn magic, and besides, the swordsmanship was not bad enough to slay dragons.
No one would have told him anything like this before, and Kyle was curious and eager to know anything about the mercenary world.
Kyle took Liang Lidong out of the house, and in the shade of a tree not far outside the courtyard, the two of them saw a group of villagers gathering together and whispering, many men, women and children. Then the villagers saw the two of them come out, and the scene immediately became quiet, and they all looked at Liang Lidong with curiosity and inquiry. Now the news that a big man has come to the village has spread throughout the village, and there are about 100 people in front of him, and everyone in the village must have been present.
"It's all gone." Kyle, as the grandson of the village chief and the next village chief, still has some weight to say here: "Your Excellency this priest is a real spellcaster, your behavior is very rude, if you provoke your anger, it doesn't matter if you are unlucky, it will not be good for everyone else." ”
Although Kyle said that Liang Lidong was a little 'unkind', in essence, these words worked well, and the villagers quickly dispersed, and Kyle sighed softly. At this time, a young girl in the crowd trotted over, it was Belin, and she asked the two of them, "Lord 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, what does it matter if there are multiple little girls. After getting Liang Lidong's consent, Belin happily followed the two, and then under the gaze of the villagers, the three went out to the west of the village.
Kyle pointed to the yellow dirt road about half a meter wide under his feet, then to the west, and said, "This road leads to our nearest village, the village of Serry, and it takes about three hours to walk. They are about the same number in our village, and every year when spring comes, they have to pass through our village to go to the nearest Windy City, 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, and there is a meadow in it, and it is where I usually practice swordsmanship. A little further north is the mountain, and there are very powerful beasts in it, and I have not been up there. ”
"The small river in the south of the village, where we usually get water to wash. Amuro, the fisherman in the village, lives on this small river, he is the only fisherman in our village, but he does not fish in the autumn, saying that there are many small fish at that time, and there will be no fish to eat the next year. ”
"The road east of the village leads to the nearest city here, the City of Winter Winds. The furthest I've ever been is Winterwind City. Kyle looked into the distance, his face yearning, "I don't know what the world outside of Winterwind is like." I've heard that Winterwind isn't that big, but in my opinion, Winterwind is already an unimaginably big city, and a city bigger than it is, what the hell is it! ”
Belin said angrily, "Brother Kyle, you've been to Winterwind City, but I haven't been there yet." ”
Kyle laughed apologetically.
Liang Lidong stared at the white clouds on the eastern horizon, if he remembered correctly, Winter Wind City was supposed to be one of the border cities in Hollevon, destroyed by the player in the fifth year of the game. The reason was that a player had discovered a gold mine on the mountain near Winterwind City, a large gold mine, and the two largest forces among the players at that time, the Blue Temple Guild and the Silver Feather Wing Guild, fought a four-day guild war around Winterwind City in order to grab this gold mine.
At that time, tens of thousands of guild personnel were dispatched on both sides, with a total of more than 20,000 professionals fighting each other near Winter Wind City, although the players deliberately did not fight in the city two days before the guild war, but after the casualties on both sides, many players lost a lot of character experience due to death, and the anger on both sides grew, and they didn't care about the life or death of NPCs at all, the scale of the battlefield upgraded, and the mages used large-scale group magic without fear, and many people used the buildings in the city as terrain attacks, Then a huge city was torn down to rubble by the players in just two days.
Although many NPCs escaped from the city, some well-wishers later counted that more than 30% of NPCs died at the hands of players. Then King Hollevon was furious, and sent a large army to attack the guild station of the Blue Temple and the Silver Wings, and then publicly rewarded the main personnel of the two guilds, and kept offering bounties, resurrected and rewarded again, as a result, the average number of deaths of the two guilds exceeded thirty-five times, and the average level dropped by about four levels, from the strongest two guilds to the last guild at once.
Now Winterwind City is still there, which means that the Winterwind City Guild War did not happen at that time, that is, there are no players in this world to participate at all? Liang Lidong thought of this, and had new doubts, since this is not a game world and there are no players involved, what is himself?
Kyle saw Liang Lidong stunned on the side, so he asked, "Lord Beta, have you thought of something?" ”
Liang Lidong shook his head, and then asked, "Isn't there a special place near the village?" ”
Kyle thought for a moment and shook his head.
However, Belin tugged at his shirt and said, "Brother Kyle, you forgot?" We also have a secret base, which is a little strange there. ”
"Oh yes, I almost forgot." Kyle clapped his palm, "I haven't been to that place in 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 a lot of green vines, and if you don't know, you don't know that there is a cave entrance here. The entrance of the cave was a little dark, Liang Lidong flicked his finger, and the 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, about twenty meters wide, and about three meters wide, and there were some small toys with wooden swords and guns, as well as a poorly made table, and five equally poorly made chairs.
The two looked at the small ball of light in the air with some awe, and Liang Lidong explained when he saw this: "This is just the basic application of spiritual power, the aggregation of light elements together to play the role of lighting, it is not magic, it has no power, and the effect is not obvious. Its upgraded version of the light spell is considered zero-level magic, and it needs spell bit equipment, this little thing doesn't occupy a spell bit, as long as people who can do magic, they can generally use such a small trick. ”
"It's like Beta, you can pick up a cup in the air with a gesture of your hand before you eat at noon?" Kyle asked enviously.
Liang Lidong nodded: "Well, that's a little trick to condense spiritual power into a bundle and pick up small objects, and the effect is not big, a person with magic strength like me can't pick up more than two kilograms." Its upgraded version is a mage's hand, which can lift seven or eight tons of something if the mana strength is sufficient. Whether it's fighting, or it's used for work, it's quite practical magic. ”
Kyle and Belin both looked at the young man in front of them who was not a few years older than themselves with admiration.
Liang Lidong asked: "You just said, there are some strange places in this cave, what is it?" ”
"Here!" Belin led the way to the bottom of the cave and ripped the moss off the walls with her hands.
Underneath the moss is a large stone slab with carved lines on it. Liang Lidong sighed, and then tore off all the moss on the stone slab together. The true face of the slate is completely exposed, and on the cyan stone, there are five patterns, each of which is quite messy, and the stripes are staggered, forming a round strange picture.
"If you look at these patterns for a long time, you will get dizzy." Belin explains.
Kyle nodded, "One time I didn't believe in evil, I kept staring, even if I was dizzy, and finally fainted. ”
In the eyes of ordinary people, the lines of these patterns are disorganized, but in Liang Lidong's eyes, these lines follow certain rules: "It is normal for you to be dizzy, because your level is too low, and you have not learned to analyze the structure of magic modeling. Kyle, you can't do this kind of stupid thing in the future, if you force these things to stare at for a long time, it's just a small thing to be unconscious, and if you don't get it right, you will become mentally retarded. ”
"Why?" Kyle was taken aback.
The expression on Liang Lidong's face was strange: "These are magic modeling construction diagrams, and they are the type I have never seen before." ”
