The Great Knowledge of the Multiverse - In this universe, the Arcane Elite is a variation of the Advanced Class Assassin from DND 3.5. The basic competencies are as follows:

Spells: Starting at level 1, arcane spears can cast certain arcane arts. In order to cast a spell, he must have a certain amount of intelligence.

Castering: Arcane Spearhead casts spells in the same way as the Bard. He can cast any spell he knows without preparation, which only has a verbal component, but they can still learn the ability to spell silence. Their daily mana is very limited, with a maximum of 12 combined (4 per tier).

Type: They are proficient in spells of level 3 and below, especially the change system, spell system, and protection system, but they cannot prepare energy shaping spells higher than level 1!

Note: The arcane soldier's casting ability is limited to the part of the spell he has learned, and these spells cannot exceed tier 3. When he casts other spells or higher, he still prepares, uses materials, and gestures as a common mage.

Inbreeding: Arcane Strikers have a very close relationship with Arcane Assassins, and Arcane Assassins' abilities are largely similar to those of the Advanced Class Assassins in DND 3.5.

Dong Hezi frowned, the spell just now was useless. Is it because the mana strength of the person who gave the spell is higher than his own? Dong Hezi suddenly became interested, so let's try another method - I have used acupuncture in combination with "removing diseases" before, and this time I will try acupuncture and moxibustion in combination with "removing curses".

He took out a box of silver needles from his bosom, took out four of them, and stabbed them on the acupuncture points of the patient's thighs, such as Qimen, Futu, Xuehai, and Yinshi, and just surrounded the judgment brand. Then he took out three silver needles and pierced them respectively on the Qishe acupoint of the Yangming Stomach Meridian and the Chongyang Acupoint and the Sanyin Jiao Acupoint of the Taiyin Liver Meridian.

Then, armed with the Arrow Order Sigil, he first punched three rounds of "Removal of the Curse" into the three silver needles. Then he fired a "Removal Curse" at each of the four silver needles around his thigh. Then take a deep breath and gather all your true power to activate the sigil.

"Listen!" the teacher in the car called out softly, "Buzz sound! ”

"No, I don't. Brother Abb looked around nervously, "None of them use psionic energy, and neither do I." He knew that the teacher's psionic level was superb, and the "buzz he heard" should be a spell fluctuation power. So he picked up the silver battle axe carved with intricate rattan patterns in his hand, and whispered to the car: "Teacher, are they coming to assassinate us? Are they going to do it in advance?"

"Wait!" said the old man in the car, "something is unusual." ”

Dong Hezi sat on the horse with a heavy waist and pulled away, with the sigil as the core, and activated all the effects of "removing the curse" on the seven silver needles at once. The silver needles around the brand together pushed the effect of "Removing the Curse" deep into the body, pressing a circle of crushes inward. Not only did it seal the outward attack of the brand, but it also continued the effect of connecting the acupoints to the vital point, and the power of the curse of expulsion was as if the strength of the spell had been increased by a level.

And the curse is like a ferocious beast doing its last frantic struggle, and at one point it was about to break through the blockade of the four silver needles. However, the silver needles piercing the Qi House, Chongyang, and the Three Yin Intersection Points also bombarded the removal curse together, as if the back wave pushed the front wave, and the inside and outside surged together to produce higher pressure. For a while, he forcibly increased the power of the spell that removed the curse by one level.

The stubborn removal curse suddenly couldn't support the huge layer of pressure, and it dissipated invisibly. The priest of the evil god also exhaled sharply, and his whole body relaxed.

"Carry it back to recuperate for a period of time, and it will be fine. Dong Hezi was a little happy because of the success of Shi Yàn, and even forgot about the medical bills. But I heard an old voice sounding next to me: "Excuse me, is this your psychic ability?"

Dong Hezi looked up, but saw an old man in a red priest's robe standing in front of him, and the red had a crystal texture, like a layer of cloth made of rubies!

And there was an unfathomable brilliance in his turquoise eyes.

His eyes are calm like eternal green gems, and he looks at the vicissitudes of the world with a firm and steady look.

There is a vast momentum lurking in the depths of his pupils, as if he can connect to the vast universe externally, and as if he can penetrate the most subtle abyss of consciousness internally.

There was also a hint of wisdom in his demeanor, which was neither the advanced thinking ability of a mage, nor the ingenuity and changeability of the world. It is a kind of grasp and control ability of one's own mind after having a deep understanding of all things.

Dong Hezi was so shocked that he almost blurted out two words: "Monk?!"

No, it's not a monk!

He is not bald, but has short blond hair.

He was not dressed simply, and his red mage robe was embroidered with green plants and small pink flowers. He even wore a pair of expensive diamond earrings on his ears!

However, his eyes are indeed too much like Buddhist monks. Apart from them, Dong Hezi has never seen anyone else.

"Uh~~ Who are you?" Dong Hezi asked questions to delay time, and his mind turned sharply: I thought it was just a group of humanoid monsters that had nothing to do with me, but how did I know that there was a human priest?

The old priest looked at him with a smile and interest, "I am a servant of the Jewel Dragon God and a psychic magician. When you cast the spell, you emitted an aura that was very similar to a psychic ability, so it attracted me. ”

He paused and then said, "But after coming over and taking a closer look, I found that your spell casting method is still a little different from our psionic ability. I would venture to ask, what is the thing in your hand, and why do I think it's emitting psionic energy?"

"This~~" Dong Hezi thought for a while, but still told the truth: "This is my special rune, which can cooperate with me to send out some spells." Well, not the spell slot kind. It's a drain on my energy and can be used at will, and it's a bit like a psychic ability. ”

The old priest looked surprised and asked, "Then which god are you a servant of, and which temple is serving now?"

"The god of the air element, Akodi. Dong Hezi said: "Now I am wandering around, and there is no place to settle. ”

"Oh. The old priest smiled and pondered, originally about to ask if this technique was taught or given by the gods, but when he heard that the other party's god was a notoriously undealing god of the qi element, he kept silent. After all, it's not polite to ask about someone's technology. If you embarrass your family, it's hard to talk about it anymore.

However, this technique is really interesting. It would be a shame to just give up.

So he changed his tone and asked, "Then are you interested in going to our country of Naintus to enjoy it now?" Although we are remote and remote, it is a place where psychic abilities are concentrated, specializing in this kind of illegal spell casting. We at Jewel Ryujin Church are also looking forward to meeting people like you. ”

Dong Hezi didn't want to entangle with them inexplicably, so he immediately declined: "Thank you, but I'm going to find a friend in Giffen City now, I'm afraid I can't go with you." If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit it. ”

The old man still smiled and said, "I see." However, our caravan is not in a hurry to return home, but to do some big business in several countries in this area. Maybe it will take a few months. He took out a small metal card with two thick fingers and handed it to Dong Hezi and said, "And we will also go to Jifen City in the end, and if you want to, you can go to Sizhuang Houde City to get in touch with us if you want to." I look forward to seeing you there. ”

Dong Hezi touched the metal brand with his hand, and probed it with Yuan Shen and Zhen Li. Without a trace of spell fluctuations or supernatural power fluctuations, he took over and said some polite words: "If you have a wish, you must go." ”

The old priest returned to the modest four-wheeled carriage.

Brother Abb respectfully bent down his stout waist and whispered in the dragon language, "Teacher, that thing can only be given to people close to us. You've given it to him now, and if he does anything wrong, he'll ruin our reputation!"

"It doesn't matter. The old priest also said lightly in the dragon language: "The light in his eyes tells me that he is not a reckless person who does not know how to advance or retreat. Then he said, "Brother Ab, do you know where the biggest gap between our psionics and the magical, arcane spellcasters is?"

Seeing that Abge was speechless, he continued, "Compared to the casters of divine spells, our psionic abilities are inherently lacking in medical abilities. At most, you can only do some advance defense or compensation. And compared to arcane spellcasters, our psionic abilities lack variability. It can't be as ever-changing as arcane. ”

After a pause, after seeing that Abge understood, he whispered again: "And in this person, I see a strange combination of spells! He seems to have used himself as a power source, and the runes on the wooden card use this power to receive the energy of the universe and form it into a spell. This method of casting spells has the characteristics of our psionic powers, and is capable of producing orthodox magical effects. I guess changing the rune can produce other spells and even arcane arts!If we can borrow this skill~~. ”

Brother Ab understood that if this skill could be learned by psionic beings, it would open up a new world for the development of psionic abilities! Then the development of psionic beings in the future might be able to catch up with and surpass mages! Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited.

I was about to mention that I had forcibly left the "priest of the God of the Qi Element" behind, but I heard the teacher say, "Let's go, from his eyes, I can sense a powerful and strange power lurking." This kind of person can be met but not sought. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will meet again. ”

Abgo put away his words and shouted at the team to continue their actions. He knew that the teacher was good at prophecy psionic energy, and it would be easy to find this priest one day—because the characteristics of this person had been imprinted in his mind by the teacher, and he could use his psionic energy to locate it accurately at any time!

It was in the evening that the caravan owner returned with a tired look.

The first thing he did was pay the mercenary money to the mercenary soldiers. But after the fighters lined up to get the money, their faces were still not good-looking. Some of them were still grunting as they walked back.

Surprisingly, the boss actually came to Dong Hezi's room to give money to the three of them.

"Thanks to your help last night. He said politely, smiling to show the helplessness on his face: "I have to trouble you a little more on this trip to Giffen City." ”

Dong Hezi looked at his middle-aged and unwilling face, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you invite a pastor in your team in advance?"

"Alas~" The boss sighed, the originally neatly trimmed beard now looks unkempt, and the rectangular face that was originally quite energetic is also full of wrinkles: "I was originally a priest, but due to the repeated delay in the payment of the mercenary money, he left the team halfway." Teams like ours, which are not too big or small, have to pay more money to buy more and better goods, and they have to pay more money to protect them, and they have always had a lot of money. If it hadn't been for the loan from the Smarno Chamber of Commerce this time, my team wouldn't have been able to get to Giffen City. ”

Grimm, who had got some money, seemed more happy, and he interjected: "Then how do you find a high-level mage to be the backstage?

The boss smiled bitterly: "When a caravan like ours grabs a lot, people don't see us at all." If you want to catch up with the high-level mage, it is better to make a few low-level and medium-level mages first, and then they will naturally have a friend to the upper class when they become high-level mages. ”

"That mage?" Grimm asked, "He's only only obtained the third-order arcane, and it's still a long time before he can reach the sixth-order." And it may not be ~~~ in the future" Grimm said that he choked up here, because he needed more time than others, and the chance was more slim! Those who can reach that rank are also "one in a thousand" in the group of mages.

The boss smiled covertly: "He's still a very talented person, and besides, I can't find a better candidate." There are many people who are better than him, but there are more people who are better than me. ”

Dong Hezi interrupted this gloomy atmosphere and said, "I heard that the loan of the Simano Chamber of Commerce is even more powerful than that of loan sharks, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be knocked out of the bones. How dare you go to them for a loan?"

The boss smiled bitterly: "In several nearby countries, only from it can borrow a large amount of loans, the rest of the chambers of commerce will not be so generous." ”

"Can you show me the loan contract?" asked Toheko.

"Yes. The boss may have regarded Dong Hezi as the official pastor of the team, so he directly took the contract to him and took a closer look.

But seeing that Dong Hezi looked at the deeper his eyebrows, the boss asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem?"

"On the surface, it's all about preferential terms. Dong Hezi said: "If you are not careful, you will be lured in by them, and you think you can take advantage of it." On paper, it seems that you can really take advantage of it. He shook his head and said, "However, the premise of these preferential terms is that you can sell the goods in their entirety within the booked time and get the money back in the shortest possible time." If the whole process is very smooth, you will not only be able to escape the shadow of loan sharks, but you will also be able to take advantage of them. They even encourage you to keep borrowing from them and use their loans to grow your strength quickly. ”

He raised his eyes to look at the boss, and saw a hint of triumph and surprise in the boss's eyes. Then he asked, "But don't rejoice too soon." In my opinion, as long as you fail once, then according to the contract, you will pay a huge amount of compensation, which is enough to spit out all your benefits a dozen times. ”

The boss was stunned for a long time, and finally admitted: "Did you also do business before? But as far as I know, there are also a lot of people who ask them for loans to develop their teams. You know, as long as you have enough money, not only can you make bigger deals, but you can also hire stronger mages, priests, and mercenaries to escort your goods, so you can make more money! ”

"Theoretically, that's true. But theory is not equal to reality, and ideals are not equal to the future. Dong Hezi slowly handed the contract back to him and said casually, "Of course, if you are lucky enough, you can also try." ”

When we set off the next day, the sun had just broken through the shadows of the mountains.

Grimm yawned as he cleaned up, and then scolded in a low voice: "X※◎¥, those ogres are really a bunch of energetic brutes, and they don't sleep all night at night. I think they'll be able to walk a few miles today! And the mastodon, with its trunk stretched out early in the morning, and no one cared about it. Also, this room was cold and wet, and the bed was so small that it wasn't even worth stretching my legs, which made my legs sore. If you knew it, you would have blessed yourself with a tolerant environment, and then it would be more comfortable to sleep on the floor!"

"Who told you to run out to watch the excitement last night?" Le Lin began to argue with Grimm again while packing up her short sword: "It's midnight when you come back, and you still have to prepare some spell-breaking spells." What can you do with a few low-level spells?"

Grimm glared at her in annoyance, and sarcastically said, "At least I can make a big difference in killing Palik." Unlike some people, who are chased and beaten by a monster with no IQ but have no choice. ”

Le Lin was about to lose her temper, but was stopped by Dong Hezi again: "Don't make any noise, Grimm should also prepare a spell." The ogres were noisy and smelly. Fortunately, I don't have to accompany them tonight. Hurry up and pack up, we're about to go. ”

The team crossed a long bridge across the river in the city and slowly walked towards the gate on the other side.

Walking on the bridge as wide as six four-wheeled carriages, Dong Hezi couldn't help but sigh at the engineering capabilities of this world. The bridge is free of crevices and piles of masonry, and is completely fused together by magic, and shaped into a beautiful long bridge with beautiful curves and strong support according to the needs of mechanics and aesthetics. As a stone bridge, its height is also extraordinary. Below you can pass large inland river ships carrying more than 100 passengers or small coastal cargo ships.

As the caravan walked on the bridge, looking at the neat and tall red-roofed buildings on both sides of the river, and the endless flow of large and small ships in the open river, I suddenly felt a sense of prosperity and tranquility. It's hard to imagine having to deal with all sorts of cannibalistic intelligent creatures once you get out of the city.

The boss and the mage rode horses beside Dong Hezi's caravan and introduced them: "After crossing this river, we have entered the embankment road and the Sakkai Route. It was a commercial route dedicated to trade between the East and the West, and the regions traversed were ruled by humans, so there were far fewer bandits. However, you will encounter many lord levels, and you will have to pay a high tax to pass. But as long as they don't want to die, they are better than those kobold lizardmen and jackals. ”

"So, what other non-human realms are there in these regions?" asked Dong Hezi. From the words of the boss, I heard that many areas were not under the control of humans. It's very different from the earth.

"That's a lot. The boss said, "The largest is the dwarven kingdom of Talabat, which spans four human kingdoms and has a well-trained griffin flying force. The kings of the human race have to pay a large amount of fine wine to the nobles of the kingdom of Talabat every year, and if they make a mistake, they will be looted by some dwarves, like a group of robbers. Oh no, it's worse than a robber! Bandits are occasionally encountered, and they come to ask for food and wine at any time. So that everyone from the king to the farmer can't have a peaceful day. Luckily, the short bandits live in the tall and steep mountains, and don't threaten our causeway. Otherwise, we merchants would be miserable!, I have heard that all who have dealt with dwarves have said that they would rather be friends with gnolls than do business with dwarves. They're brutal to humans!"
