Chapter 29: Familiar body
Near the early hours of the morning, Lucien, after many magic experiments, finally learned and mastered the "Eye of the Stars", "Frost Rays", "Forbidden Light", "Mage's Hand" and "Acid Splash "Five informal magics, which I learned yesterday, and tried the" out of control ring "without spell-casting, Lucian stabilized the cast time to about three seconds.
Comparing the witch's own records, Lucien found that the time to analyze magic, learn magic, and master magic was a bit astonishing. Except for the "out of control ring" that the witch didn't understand and forcibly mastered, her elemental magic "acid solution" "Sputtering" and "Frost Rays" are generally three to four days, twenty hours, and hundreds of magic experiments and casting exercises before they can be analyzed and mastered. Lucien, for example, spent five The "Frost Ray" was used seven times and the "Eye of the Stars" was used ten times. Only "Forbidden Light" was mastered 30 times due to insufficient analysis and understanding in advance.
In Lucian's view, this is mainly because the spell structure seems to be based on a mathematical model, and then integrates his own understanding of the process of magic construction, and the model structure of informal magic is only a simple rune figure, which is equivalent to the six-mans star. The degree of plane geometry in junior high school and high school. After reviewing the literature in the library for a while, most of the analysis of informal magic has become very simple.
For the understanding of the process of magical construction, Lucien also relies on the past knowledge. For example, he understood the "acid sputtering" as making sulfuric acid with sulfur. However, in the light forbidden technique, Lucien could not rely on his previous knowledge to understand. Now, I can only carelessly think that reversely destroying the structure of "fluorescent grass" can make it actively absorb light without reflecting, and the result is not bad, but it is not good. It has been mastered many times.
This allows Lucien to reflect on himself: "You ca n’t rely too much on the knowledge of the past. The magic of this world should have its unique place. Although some of it can be combined with knowledge of physics, chemistry, etc., you have to slowly analyze it yourself. After all, The elements and rules of this world are likely to be different from those of the earth, and they are specious, such as precious materials such as Mithril and Adamantite recorded by the witch, such as why astrology can be used to fortune and destiny. "
As for the "runaway ring", because Lucian fully understands that it is magic under the force of gravity, he can reduce the casting time to the current limit so quickly.
After recovering his mental strength with a ten-minute quiet break, Lucian began to simply deal with the remaining traces, such as the surface of the corroded stone.
"Informal magic is indeed not powerful enough. Only when the frost rays hit the heart and throat, causing cardiac arrest and suffocation, can an adult be killed directly, otherwise all three frost rays will be hit. If only Hit it, at most, people will be severely frostbite, and their movements and thinking will become slow. Due to the concentration and strength of the acid, the acid splashing must also hit the key. "Lucian calmly analyzed that he would Apprentice-level magic is not much disappointed. Although many magics don't look strong, as long as they are used well, the effect is equally amazing on certain occasions and at specific times.
After processing the traces, Lucian placed the cast materials in his pocket in a concealed and easy to access, and then did not return to the ground, but continued to explore the sewer by the direction of the slum outlet.
This is because Lucien considered that in order to find the black corpse mushroom, he must first find the carrion. In the case where the cemetery is likely to be spied by the church, other than the beasts and humans who died in the Black Forest of Messer The sewer is the only place where there is hope to find the carrion. After all, many poor people and beggars living here may not even have shrouds. If friends and relatives who do n’t know are around, it does n’t rule out quietness without anyone knowing. The possibility of dying silently deep in the sewer, as well as dead animals and rotten meat pieces that have been thrown out of the sewer, are not uncommon.
And the witch also explored in the sewer, initially for the black corpse mushroom, and later to find the origin of the red-eye mouse, but no danger was encountered, so Lucian dared to explore this sewer first.
Uh ...
Wu's mental strength spread out, and she felt faintly around. Lucian walked carefully in the sewer.
In the past twenty minutes, Lucien has explored several places and found three carrion, two mice and a strange jelly-shaped animal. Unfortunately, none of them had black corpse mushrooms growing on them.
Turning around a corner, Lucien's eyes widened and he finally found the beggars living in the sewer.
The sewer in this section is very wide. In the middle is a quiet river flowing with some garbage. It will flow all the way to the water outlet and merge into the Belem River. On the stone lanes on both sides, there are a row of rags. , Crock pots and other things, and several beggars with ragged clothes showing a lot of skin are gathered on the side of the martyrdom, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that he was just a beggar, he didn't evade, and he was already found, so he wanted to pass through the other way.
"Young man, the sewer is not where you should come. What is your purpose?" Among the beggars, an old man who was in his sixties and had raised ribs and dried out abnormally could hear his voice, but At least forty years old.
Regardless of the fact that Sean wore linen blouses that were worn out, cheap, and unable to hide the identity of the poor, compared to these beggars, they were as gorgeous as aristocrats, at least it would not rot to the point where most of their skin was exposed At least it was clean, so the old man recognized at a glance that Lucian was not the "Aboriginal" of the sewer.
Lucien replied with a smile: "I have a friend who lives in the sewer, and I came to him." He was confident and decisive, and did not seem to put these beggars in his eyes, because in this dark sewer where there is no law If you don't provoke the greed of these beggars, it is the best way to show that you are strong.
Behind the skinny old man, several other beggars stood up, staring viciously and greedily at Lucien, but Lucien looked at them unabashedly, showing his relatively sturdy figure and faintly sending out Cold light dagger.
This made them subconsciously avoid Lucian's gaze.
Watching Lucien walking forward step by step, the dry old man suddenly laughed: "Young man, I see that you are not dressed well, and you have a dagger in your hand, it seems to be doing something improper. "
Balussian was a little surprised that he would talk to himself. After thinking about it, he answered coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."
The dry old man grinned: "Anyway, you can see that you're having a hard time. Since young people who work so hard and work so hard for you cannot eat white bread and beef every day, I think it's definitely not your fault. Truth God teaches us that everyone is the Lamb of the Lord, but why the nobles can live a luxurious life, but the poor who believe in him religiously cannot change their destiny, and everyone is born guilty! "
"I'm not interested in what you say, you should stop talking to me." Lucian's tone was cold.
Although the dry old man said very vaguely, he didn't leave anyone a handle, and it was definitely not clear if he changed someone else, but from his words, Lucian smelled a familiar taste, that is, the taste of being preached, From his point of view, it is certainly not true theology. As for the other gods or the devil, Lucian is not interested for the time being, and if he does not have enough strength, he has contacted these rashly.
Do n’t let him say too much, because the more he knows, the more he ca n’t leave. Under the control of the theology of truth, spreading other denominations, that ’s an offence of absolute fire. These beggars will not risk leaking news. danger.
The old man and several beggars did not expect that Lucian would refuse to be so straightforward and direct, staring angrily at Lucian, as if being desecrated of precious things.
"Want to try my dagger?" Lucian shook the dagger in his hand, then walked away calmly and steadily.
Intersecting with the dark river across the sewer, Lucien keenly noticed that, in the place where they had previously been, there was a clean black cloth with a curved, silvery horn .
The skinny old man recalled what he said, and felt that nothing was disclosed, like a complaint of an ordinary poor man, but he concentrated the complaint on the nobleman. At the same time, he weighed Lucian's age, body The state, the dagger in his hand, reluctantly sat down again.
Uh ...
I left the beggars and walked in the sewer for more than ten minutes. The sound of water in Lucian's ears suddenly sounded.
"It seems to be the water outlet, it should be outside the Belem River." Lucian saw the dark river become slightly turbulent and flowed to a hole covered by a large barbed wire, so he walked slowly on the side. Looking for the carrion in the most densely populated place.
I walked up to the barbed wire, but Lucian didn't find anything, and was slightly disappointed, ready to return to the ground.
However, when Lucien turned back and arbitrarily glanced at the part where the barbed wire was in contact with the water surface, he was surprised to find that the fluorescent light was shining, the water wave was shaking, and the barbed wire was in contact with the water surface a little bit below No.
Intrigued, Lucien walked to the side, shook and lifted the barbed wire, and looked carefully again, surely a small hole appeared under the barbed wire.
Before Xun had time to judge whether it was naturally broken or artificially destroyed, Lucian saw a large black object slowly floating up, in front of himself, as if because of the shake of the barbed wire.
When it slowly floated to the surface and was hit by barbed wire under the impact of the river water in the dark river, Lucian could see clearly that this was a bulging corpse, and the muscles on his face and body had decayed a lot, only Vaguely recognized the outline, clothes were full of garbage, and some were very buoyant.
Balussian resisted the nausea of seeing the carrion, and carefully searched for the black corpse mushroom, although there was little hope, after all, it was soaking in the water, but maybe there was a surprise?
Looking at it, Lucian's brows frowned, because the corpse's death was weird, his chest was broken, and he just touched it with a dagger just now, and found that his heart was gone, it looked like It was dug out alive.
谁 "Who is so cruel?" Lucian looked up and down the corpse, and suddenly, at the waist of the corpse, found a entangled money bag, "How familiar?"
I picked it up with a dagger, and Lucien looked carefully: "This is my wallet!"
This is the money bag that Lucian was robbed of by the gangsters. He did not have time to get it back. It even appeared on a deadly weird carrion in the sewer.
I was surprised and disgusted, Lucian took another serious look at the corpse's face:
"Andre?"
I had an idea in my heart. Lucien looked more and more like it. How could Andre, Aaron's gangster, die here? !!
