Chapter 208 The real use of fingertip tricks
Time flies by like a flash, and it’s November 18th.
Winter has arrived quietly, and the temperature in the air has dropped very low.
Just as Jarvan IV predicted, it is located in the southeastern part of Demacia, on the other side of the Silver Mountains, in the Gate of Sorrow area.
The surrounding foreign bandits, warlike tribes, and even the Noxian warband were ready to move.
Their actions have seriously threatened nearby Demacia allies.
After Jarvan IV arrived, he quickly launched operations to fight against the Noxian war group and suppress the troublesome bandits and tribes.
Over a period of time, good news was frequently sent to the capital.
At this time, it was located on a hillside between Wheelwall Castle and the Gate of Sorrow.
Jarvan IV's army camped here to rest.
"Your Highness, Kakel's tribe could not hold on under our siege and surrendered. This time we captured a total of more than 500 people. We also got useful information from Kakel."
In the camp, an adjutant came in and reported: "There seems to be a Noxian battle group in the small mountain town located 70 kilometers to the west."
Hearing this, Jarvan IV raised his eyes from the map marked with many places, his eyes flickered for a moment, stood up and ordered: "Notify everyone, prepare to march, and must arrive at the small mountain city before evening!"
"yes!"
The adjutant took the order and left the tent.
Jarvan IV immediately put on his armor, picked up the halberd placed aside, and walked outside with a stern look in his eyes.
Noxus again.
When he arrived at the border this time, he had already fought against the Noxian battle group no less than three times.
Although he won a great victory every time, Jarvan IV was not very happy. The tragic scenes he saw along the border made him feel uneasy.
Because the situation on the border is very chaotic at the moment, many places need to be calmed down.
Therefore, Jarvan IV divided the army into several groups, each led by his most trusted lieutenant, and set off in different directions.
And he led an army of 2,500 men from the south towards the border town of Noxus, Trewell.
Now, more than half of the journey is left.
But the Noxian warband has crossed the Gate of Sorrow and appears here.
This most likely means one thing. The situation on the other side of the Gate of Sorrow is probably not ideal.
Now, he has not received the message from the adjutant.
With a worried sigh, Jarvan IV tightened his grip on the halberd, his eyes firm.
At this moment, he could only continue to set off.
Behind him, he had nothing to worry about.
In the past, because he was the only heir to Demacia, he had to worry a lot and could not go to war as he wished.
Now that he has an extremely outstanding younger brother, he no longer has to worry about severing the bloodline of the royal family.
You can now feel free to achieve your goals.
At this time, my nose became wet.
Jarvan IV couldn't help but raise his head and watch the snowflakes falling from the sky. Then he exhaled and turned to join the queue of troops.
Not long after, the troops set off again.
At the same time on the other side.
Trewell.
This is a city that seems to be made of steel. The towering walls are composed of solemn and majestic structures, adding a bit of iron-blooded momentum to this newly built city.
More than ten years ago, this area was just a rugged mountainous area with many clusters of villages.
And there is a fortress in the city.
"General Patria, the commander sent by Demacia this time is Jarvan IV. So far, three of our battle groups have encountered him, and all of them have been defeated."
A messenger ran into the fortress, knelt down on one knee in front of a high seat, and made a report.
Sitting on the high seat was a middle-aged man wearing black armor, holding his forehead with one hand and quietly listening to the report of the soldiers below.
"Jarvan IV. Prince of Demacia"
He whispered to himself in a low voice, his eyes flashing twice.
Under the high seat, an adjutant asked: "General, what are we going to do next?"
Patria tapped the chair with her fingers and said calmly: "Proceed as originally planned."
He looked straight into the distance through the exit of the fortress.
The royal capital.
"It's snowing!"
The clear and joyful voice of Miss Crown Guard came from downstairs.
Lu Qi woke up from his bed. The cold air around him made him not want to leave the warm bed.
What's more, he rarely slept alone last night, and he also wanted to enjoy the feeling of occupying the bed alone.
Because, a certain swordswoman had a bad habit of grabbing the quilt when she fell asleep.
Lu Qi would often wake up from the cold in the middle of the night, and then crawl into bed pitifully in search of warmth.
Sometimes if I accidentally wake up Sword Girl, another wave of selfless devotion of love will inevitably follow.
Tired, very tired.
Lu Qi finally understood what it felt like to be "painful and happy".
Today was his alone time in bed.
However, thinking of the snow falling outside, Lu Qi finally sat up from the bed and started to change clothes.
After changing his clothes, he walked downstairs, intending to take a look at the snow scene.
When they arrived in the front yard, they saw Lux standing under the flying snowflakes, not feeling cold at all. She raised her head slightly and looked at it happily with her beautiful big eyes open.
Her nose was red from the cold, and she looked surprisingly cute.
Her golden hair was dotted with a few snowflakes, and there was a scarf woven by Ogesha around her neck. She had furry gloves on her little hands, and the snow started to fall bit by bit.
"What are you doing there?"
Lu Qi stood under the eaves and looked at Lux. The cold air outside made him want to go back to the living room to warm up by the fire.
This guy even ran to take the initiative to get wet in the snow.
"What do you know? It's called feeling the winter atmosphere!"
Lux glanced at Lu Qi and said, "This is the first snow this winter!"
"Okay, then take your time and feel it."
Lu Qi's breath turned into a puff of white mist, and after saying that, he turned around and returned to the living room.
He walked slowly, and behind him, the energetic Lux had already rushed in and grabbed the seat closest to the fireplace in the living room faster than he did.
The fireplace had just been lit by Yourna. Although it was not particularly hot yet, it had already warmed up.
Lux took off her scarf, then took off her gloves, revealing her two small hands, and moved closer to the fireplace to dispel the coldness on her hands.
"Did you shake the snow off your shoes?"
Lu Qi entered the living room and looked at her.
Lux replied casually: "It's clean."
Lu Qi said nothing more and sat on the seat on the other side, feeling the warmth drifting towards him.
Yourna poured two cups of hot tea over.
When it was almost done, Lux unbuttoned her jacket and took out a newspaper from her arms.
Lu Qi glanced at it: "Today's?"
"Um."
Lux nodded.
So Lu Qi moved the seat over and looked at her together.
Lux didn't say anything, placed the newspaper between the two of them, and scanned the newspaper line by line.
"Has Brother Jiawen defeated the bandits?"
Seeing a conspicuous message, Lux was also happy about Jarvan IV's consecutive victories.
Lu Qi also saw this news.
It took two days to send a message back and forth between the royal capital and the southern border. The official received the news from the border immediately, which was equivalent to Lu Qi's side receiving it as well.
Nowadays, the influence of the Royal City's express report, such as the war situation on the border, is naturally registered.
Since Jarvan IV arrived at Wheelwall Castle fifteen days ago, this is the third good news to have been sent back to the capital.
It is said that the situation there is not very good.
Scattered refugees and bandits gathered together on a large scale.
And those warlike tribes themselves have considerable strength.
Not to mention, the moment they met the Noxian warband, it was already certain that Noxus once again had thoughts about the Gate of Sorrow.
Now, after defeating a tribe of more than a thousand people, Jarvan IV once again captured a force composed of thousands of refugees and bandits.
It can be said that the performance is very outstanding.
"What are you looking at?"
From behind, there was a burst of footsteps.
Looking back, he saw Kashina dragging her scarf and asking curiously.
"Newspaper."
"I also read today's newspaper. There's good news coming from the border again, right?"
Kashina said.
Behind her, Sona followed, with unswept snowflakes on her long blue hair, which looked very harmonious with her.
She smiled at Lu Qi with her moving eyes, and then sat on the sofa.
Lu Qi then looked at Kashina and Lux: "It's almost time for you two to start."
"Ah, I haven't finished it yet."
Lux leaned on the chair unwilling to move.
"A day's plan begins in the morning." Lu Qi glanced at her: "You took the initiative to find me at the beginning. If you can't persist, you should give up."
Being so excited by him, Lux immediately put down the newspaper and stood up: "Just start!"
So, the two girls ran to the basement, a place where they would not normally be disturbed, and started reading with a book in their hands.
In the basement, apart from barrels of wine, there are all kinds of medicinal materials.
From time to time, they grabbed some medicine and compared it with the book, and occasionally sniffed it to identify it.
Some herbs with acrid taste immediately put a sour taste on her little faces.
The book the two of them were holding was the pharmacological knowledge compiled by Lu Qi.
The above are all pharmacological knowledge he recorded in his spare time, including the uses, effects, pros and cons of various medicinal materials, as well as various medical techniques.
Although it is not particularly comprehensive, it is enough for the two of them to learn for a while.
It was Lux who proposed the idea of learning medicine. Due to her persistence, Lu Qi reluctantly agreed to spend some time teaching them.
Both of them are from the Church of the Illuminator, and the medical knowledge they have learned will be useful in the future.
At first, Lux thought it was easy, but after learning, she directly put on the mask of pain.
Some of the medicines above can be combined with hundreds of other medicines to form prescriptions, and each of them has different effects.
This directly made her dream back to the painful time of attending classes at the Royal Academy, and it was even more painful than that.
However, her pain was Lu Qi's happiness, which was why he was in the mood to spend time personally compiling such a not-so-thin pharmacological knowledge book.
Kashina was okay, and going to school was not particularly painful for her.
It's just that some medicines smell terrible.
However, despite this, both girls persisted, and their learning progress was not slow at all.
At this time, everyone had not arrived yet, so Lu Qi cooked some porridge and was not in a hurry to make the rest of breakfast.
He returned to sit down in front of the fireplace, with a leisurely look on his face, and said in his heart: "Sign in."
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the intermediate skill upgrade card*2]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the neurotoxin and a recipe]
The system's voice fell.
Lu Qi glanced at it and continued without any hesitation: "Use the upgrade card to upgrade the fingertip trick."
[Intermediate skills increased in price and used successfully]
[Fingertip trick level increased to LV7]
Lu Qi directly used the two upgrade cards for fingertip tricks.
Feeling the subtle feeling from his fingers, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Before that, he used all the two primary skill upgrade cards he had saved on fingertip tricks.
This skill can increase Lu Qi's hand speed.
At first, Lu Qi felt that this skill was of little use.
But later, after clinical trials, he discovered the real use of his fingertip trick!
Although it is just a common skill, for Lu Qi, it can be said to have endless uses.
Tonight, let the little girl Sword Girl have a try, Wuying Finger is very powerful.
Lu Qi, who was in a better mood, took a sip of hot tea and looked at the second reward of the system. He checked the system introduction and immediately understood.
Neurotoxic.
As the name suggests, it is a poison.
This poison is colorless and odorless, and it is a toxin that is directly implanted in the nerves of the person who takes the poison. When the poison occurs, it will directly lose the nerve regulation effect of the whole body, and the pain will be unbearable. It only takes five minutes to kill.
It goes without saying how important the neuromodulatory system is to the human body.
This thing can directly damage the nerves, and the effect is naturally powerful.
It also comes with an antidote.
Lu Qi rarely used poison.
Although he has full-level medical skills, he also has full-level poison skills.
Mainly, there are not too many places that can be used.
Generally speaking, poisoning has only two uses.
One kind is used for assassination. This kind of poison is often chosen to be fatal. It will kill you within a few minutes after drinking it.
The second type is used to prevent danger before it occurs, such as situations where the danger is detected in advance and poison is administered quietly.
Both of these are ways to trick people.
When it's time to offend someone, Lu Qi will naturally think of using poison, but most of the time he won't use it.
He also considered using poison to control Silas.
But in the end I didn't do it.
As Silas was a potential threat to Demacia, Lucci went to the dungeon for a walk when he had nothing to do, and naturally thought of other uses for him.
But you must know that before Lu Qi went, Silas had basically given up the idea of survival and wanted to die.
In addition, his personality has been unstable for so many years, and he has reached a breaking point.
Maybe after losing hope, I really don’t want to live anymore.
Therefore, Lucci decided to use a milder PUA.
I've had two positives lately, so the author has no status codes.
