Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 1 An Empty Village
The white curtain of light cleared, and a dilapidated but patchwork village came into view.
Most of the houses in the village are low, low, one-story wooden bungalows. The roof was covered with layers of thatch, and the wooden wall panels were covered with gray-black mud. The first impression is that it is a poor, poor jingle kind of small mountain village.
Especially when I just saw the neat and tidy high-rise buildings and suddenly the tree-lined streets, the post-modern simplicity of Terdaheim's buildings mixed with black technology, and then look at the small village in front of me...... It can only be said that there is no harm if there is no contrast! It's unusually backward, it's terrible, it's so inconspicuous. Even the cheapest tourist project in the world, the dirty farmhouse, has to throw off several streets of small mountain villages in terms of infrastructure.
But in the eyes of the Agarwal cats, this barren and dilapidated mountain village in the Agarwal Valley is their home, their hometown, and their most important home.
The feeling of the ground being firm under my feet and the cold of winter on my face was also felt.
Lily sniffled, then took a deep breath.
"Hmm~~~" she dragged a long nasal voice, "What fresh air!" ”
"yes, that's right. It feels alive again. ”
Fang Qiuling also took a long breath.
Behind him, Yuna and Yuya were also revealing themselves taking deep breaths. A breath of slightly cold air inhaled into the lungs not only made the brain instantly clearer, but also felt the constant power gushing out of the limbs.
"What is this?"
"This, this ......"
The twins exclaimed in unison.
With their exclamations, an ice crystal stretched out of their hands.
"Huh?"
As soon as Lily turned her head to say hello, she saw the rainbow of light shining from the sunlight on the ice crystals. She couldn't help but be surprised.
She had long known that Viscount Norn's new "little maid" was not simple. It's true that he is thin and small, and his arms and thighs are not very strong, but his strong mental strength and rich knowledge can completely make up for the lack of physical fitness. The two sisters, in particular, have their own abilities - abilities that are quite weird and unguardable.
Her sister Yuya's ability awakened at a very young age, and it's a kind of area perception similar to empty awareness. Yuya can spread out the range of an ability to a large area of space, or compress the ability into a range for more precise detection or a longer range.
Sister Yuna's ability...... Yuna had always thought that her ability was telepathy, and although she also had an area-perceptual ability similar to empty awareness, Yuna had always thought that it was telepathy to "borrow" her sister's ability. However, after arriving in the present world and participating in several magic research courses held by Fang Qiuling and Lily with her sister, Yuna was surprised to find that her ability was not telepathy, but another mystery.
Termaheim is a low-magic world in general. In low-magic worlds, the cost of an ability depends entirely on the ability owner's own "MP" reserve. If you use an ability too often and consume too much MP, symptoms like dizziness and dizziness can occur. Some powerful abilities can even be so consumed and almost miraculous that a single use is enough to "drain" a person, leading to a coma or even death.
Yuna's true ability isn't enough to be used once and gone, but it's also a costly type. Thankfully, her MP max was not high, and even though she increased her ability levels several times, she still didn't reach the minimum amount for her ability to activate. So I've always thought that telepathy with my sister is my own ability.。
And after obtaining enough "loaned" Mana, and under the double "escort" of Fang Qiuling and Lily, Yuna successfully displayed her ability after some attempts, which is also a special ability related to space.
Yuna can ignore distances and obstacles, and "teleport" items in her hands to her sister - it can only be her sister, not anyone else. And Yuya can also telepathically "borrow" her sister's ability and pass the items in her hand back to her sister. The distance between the twins and the quality of the teleported item determine how much MP the ability consumes. At the same time, Fang Qiuling also relied on the contract with the twins to unexpectedly become the receiver of this ability teleportation. However, he can only passively accept the teleportation, and cannot actively transmit it.
In other words, the twins Korovin sisters actually have a total of three abilities: the elder sister's "item teleportation", the younger sister's "spatial exploration", and the "telepathy" that both of them have. And because of telepathy, both sisters can borrow abilities that they can deal with, and the two of them can actually be considered to have three abilities.
Just think about the chemistry that these three abilities can produce when combined...... It was an alchemy reaction, and Lily felt a huge headache - she didn't recognize the word "chemistry" and thought that chemistry was alchemy. However, Lily agrees with the possibility of combining the three abilities of the Twins by using the numerous steps and complex material ratios in the alchemy process, because it is so appropriate......
As a paladin, the last thing Lily wants to meet is someone with this kind of weird ability. Such people are undoubtedly very encouraging as friends. But if it's an opponent, it's a nightmare!
Lily didn't dare to underestimate the two "little maids". With a beautiful little face, a petite and lovely body, and a crisp and pleasant voice, he is an absolute enemy! And after knowing the abilities that the twins have, there is one more reason not to underestimate them. No, it's three of a kind!
It's still the same sentence from before - twins or something, it's just cheating!
At this moment, the ice crystals that bloomed in Yuna and Yuya's hands at the same time indicated that the warlock bloodline in their bodies had been activated, the cold bloodline of frost.
The sun shines on the ice crystals, and the colorful brilliance reflected is nothing more than an ordinary prism spectroscopy phenomenon in the present world. But in Elune, it's a testimony to the power hidden in the blood. As long as there is enough time for the twins to grow, they are bound to become powerful warlocks!
This scene was also in Fang Qiuling's eyes, and a smile that he had expected immediately appeared on his face.
"Feel it?" Fang Qiuling stretched out his hand, and a small flower of ice crystals immediately bloomed in his hand, "This kind of power that is pouring out of the body little by little is Mana, it is a manifestation of the power of the 'Extreme Source'. You have never been to the High Demon World, and your body was in a state of 'hunger' before. The first time you draw mana from your surroundings naturally, without any way or means of concentrating energy, it feels particularly noticeable. In the future, there will be no such big reaction, and it will be okay to adapt. ”
Sister Yuna held up the ice crystal slightly, letting the colorful light spread on herself, and her expression was a little dazed for a while. In Terdaheim, abilities are a symbol of strength, and great abilities are powerful abilities. In order to increase her ability level, Yuna has put in a lot of effort. My sister's ability is very distinctive, and it has a lot of advantages in detecting hidden news. And his abilities are not brilliant, so he can only whisper to his sister. It must be false to say that it is not lost.
And at this moment, his ability "Pong" is rising, and even ice crystals have appeared in his hands. This made Yuna feel happy and a little depressed at the same time - how many years of hard work she has not made is as great as what she has gained in the last month!
In contrast, her sister Yuya seemed a little heartless, and she tossed the ice crystals in her hand with a big heart. The reflected colorful ice crystals constantly change into various shapes in her palm, one will be a dog running happily, and the other will be a bird flying with wings.
“…… But you also have to pay attention. ”
Fang Qiuling threw it at Yuya with the ice crystal flower that he had conjured casually. Yu Ya, who was having a good time, didn't notice Fang Qiuling's "sneak attack" at all, and the ice crystals in his hand were hit by the "hidden weapon" that attacked.
The ice crystal flower collided with the ice crystal, making a crisp and pleasant sound. Both dissipated at the same time, and a small cold snap followed.
Yuya shuddered, and immediately "sneezed" and sneezed firmly.
- It's true that the clothes on my body are very thick, but the sudden chill is still very cold!
She turned her head, her small mouth couldn't help but pout, and Yingying's eyes were a little more resentful.
"Don't play around yet, listen to what I've to say."
"Oh, got it......"
"Elune is a high demon world, and the power of the 'Extreme Source' is very strong. With every breath there is the power of the Source coming into your body, and you have already felt it. In other words, the power of the Source renders the body all the time, even while sleeping. ”
Fang Qiuling said as she beckoned the twins and Lily to move forward.
"Actually, it's when you sleep when your body collects the 'supreme' power the fastest. So you have to learn to meditate as soon as possible, and replace sleep with meditation as soon as possible. This way, the ability can be used a little more times a day, and the number of times other spells can be used. You should have mastered the basic methods of meditation, right? ”
"Hmm!"
Sister Yuna nodded earnestly and waved away the ice crystals in her hand.
"You'll try it later. In the same way, the effect of the first meditation is particularly good, and it will be of great help to improve the strength...... By the way, before meditating, consume as much mana as possible in your body. On the one hand, it is to practice more hands and improve 'proficiency'. On the other hand, it is also to gain more mana when meditating. If you want to master magic as soon as possible, there is actually no shortcut, and you have to contact it repeatedly. It's like an athlete training repeatedly and continuously, allowing the body to form muscle memory ......"
Climbing over the low fence on the outside of the village, the group walked straight to the largest house in the village.
This large house is the only two-storey building in the village, which not only serves the function of a canteen for meals, but also sometimes makes guest appearances in the village assembly hall, the meeting hall for the whole village meeting, the indoor martial arts arena, and the big shop where the kittens sleep at night.
Fang Qiuling pushed open the door of the room and continued: "Spells, abilities and the like, the skills on the 'spirit' side. Although it is indeed very mysterious, it can also be gained through repeated and large amounts of practice. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect......"
His voice stopped abruptly.
The house was empty, not to mention the figures, and even the fire in the center of the house had long since been extinguished. In many places, there was a layer of hoarfrost, which was the snow that had not yet melted into the house from the window......
