wandering fairy

Great knowledge of the multiverse of Qionghong - in this universe, the arcane vanguard is transformed from the advanced professional assassin in the dnd3.5 version.The basic abilities are as follows:

Spells: Beginning at 1st level, arcane vanguards can cast certain arcane spells.To cast a spell, he must have a certain Intelligence score.

Spellcasting: An arcane vanguard casts spells in the same way as a bard.He can cast any spell he knows without preparation, and those spells have only verbal components, though they can still learn the silent spell ability.Their daily spells are very limited, no more than 12 in total (4 per tier).

Type: They are proficient in spells of level 3 and below, especially transformation, conjuration, and protection, but they cannot prepare evocation spells higher than level 1!However, they can still learn the knowledge of evocation spells and use related magic wands, scrolls and other spell items.

Note: An arcane vanguard's spellcasting ability is limited to those spells he has learned, which cannot exceed 3rd tier.When he casts other or higher spells, he still prepares, uses materials, and gestures as a normal wizard.

Close relatives: Arcane Vanguard has a very close relationship with Arcane Assassin, and the abilities of Arcane Assassin are basically similar to the advanced class Assassin in dnd3.5 version.

Dong Hezi frowned, the spell just now was useless.Is it because the magic power of the caster is higher than his own?Dong Hezi immediately became interested, so let's try another method - I have used acupuncture and "remove disease" before, this time I will try acupuncture and "remove curse".

He took out a box of silver needles from his bosom, took out four of them at the beginning, and pierced them on the acupoints of the patient's thigh, such as Omen, Futu, Xuehai, and Yinshi, which happened to surround the brand of judgment.Then take out three silver needles and pierce the Qishe and Chongyang points of the Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Sanyinjiao points of the Taiyin Liver Meridian.

Then holding the Arrow Command Seal, first put three shots of "Remove the Curse" into the three silver needles.Then he sent "remove the curse" to each of the four silver needles around the thigh.Then take a deep breath and gather all the strength to activate the seal.

"Listen!" The teacher in the car called out softly again: "Buzzing! Someone is using psychic power again."

"No." Abogo looked around nervously, "None of them used psychic power, and neither did I." He knew that the teacher's psychic power level was high, and the "humming sound he heard" should be a kind of Spell wave power.So he picked up the silver battle ax carved with complicated rattan patterns in his hand, and whispered to the car: "Teacher, are they here to assassinate us? Are they going to do it early?"

"Wait!" The old man in the car said, "Something is strange."

Sitting on the horse, Dong Hezi drew back his posture, and with the talisman as the core, he activated all the effects of "remove the curse" on the seven silver needles at once.Together with the silver needles around the brand, the effect of "removing the curse" penetrated deep into the body, and pressed a circle of rolling machine inward.Not only does it seal off the branding, but it also connects the acupoints to connect the vital points, effectively expelling the power of the curse, which seems to increase the power of the spell by a level.

And the curse is like a ferocious beast struggling wildly for the last time, once it was about to break through the blockade of the four silver needles.But the silver needles pierced at Qishe, Chongyang, and Sanyinjiao acupoints will also bombard the removal of the curse, as if the back wave pushes the front wave, and the inside and outside surge together to generate higher pressure.Forcibly increased the magic power of removing the curse by one level for a while.

The stubborn removal curse suddenly couldn't support the huge layers of pressure, and it dissipated invisible with a bang.The priest of the evil god also let out a sharp breath, and his whole body relaxed.

"Take it back for a period of recuperation, and you'll be fine once you recover your strength." Dong Hezi was a little overjoyed by the success of the experiment, and even forgot about collecting medical expenses.But I heard an old voice sounding from the side: "Excuse me, is this your psychic power?"

Dong Hezi looked up, but saw an old man wearing a rose-red priest's robe standing in front of him. The red color had a crystal texture, like a layer of ruby ​​cloth!

And there was an unfathomable splendor in his emerald green eyes.

His eyes are calm like unchanging green gems, looking at the vicissitudes of the world firmly and steadily.

There is a great aura lurking deep in his pupils, externally it seems to be able to connect to the vast and boundless universe, internally it seems to be able to penetrate into the most subtle abyss of consciousness.

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

Dong Hezi was shocked and almost blurted out two words: "Monk?!"

No, not a monk!A closer look at the shape is very different.

He is not bald, but has short blond hair.

His clothes were not simple either, the rose red mage robe was embroidered with green plants and small pink flowers.He even wore a pair of expensive diamond earrings on his ears!This is something monks would never wear!

However, his eyes are indeed too much like a Buddhist monk.Apart from them, Dong Hezi had never seen it on anyone else.

"Uh~~ who are you?" Dong Hezi deliberately asked questions to delay time, and his thoughts changed sharply: I thought it was just a group of humanoid monsters that had nothing to do with me, how did I know there was a human priest?He saw what happened just now, what should we do now?

The old priest looked at him with a smile on his face and said with great interest, "I am a servant of the Gem Dragon God and a Psychic. When you cast a spell just now, you gave off an aura that is very similar to psychic powers, so you attracted me here." gone."

He paused and then said: "However, after I came here and observed it carefully, I found that your spellcasting method is still somewhat different from our psionic ability. May I ask, what is that thing in your hand? Why do I feel that it seems to be in your hand? Send out psionic energy?"

"This~~" Dong Hezi thought for a while, and still told the truth: "This is my special rune, which can cooperate with me to issue some spells. Well, it's not the kind of spell slot. It is after consuming my energy. It can be cast at will, which is indeed a bit like psychic power."

The old pastor asked with a look of surprise: "Then which god's servant are you? Which temple are you serving in now?"

"Akuodi, the God of Air Elements." Dong Hezi said, "Now he is wandering around and has no place to live."

"Oh." The old pastor smiled and thought about it. He was going to ask whether this kind of technology was taught or bestowed by the gods, but when he heard that the gods of the other party were notoriously unsociable gods of air elements, he kept silent. Don't ask.After all, it is not very polite to ask people about their technology.If you make things difficult for others, it will be difficult to continue the discussion.

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

So he changed his mind and asked: "Then are you interested in going to our Naintus country to enjoy it now? Although our place is remote and remote, it is a place where psychic powers are concentrated, specializing in this non-magic casting method. Our Gemstone Dragon God Church is also very much looking forward to getting to know and communicate with people like you."

Dong Hezi didn't want to get entangled with them for no reason, and immediately declined: "Thank you, but I'm going to find a friend in Jifen City now, I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go there to play .”

The old man still smiled and said: "So that's the case. But 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 then took out a small two-finger metal card and handed it to Dong Hezi, saying: "And we will go to Giffen City in the end, and if you want to, you can use this to go to Shuanghoude City to fight with him." We got in touch. I look forward to seeing you very much."

Dong Hezi touched the metal plate with his hand, and investigated it with his soul and real strength.There was no fluctuation of magic or supernatural power, so he took over and said some polite words: "If you have a wish, you must go."

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

Abgo bowed his thick and huge waist respectfully, and asked in a low voice in Dragon language: "Teacher, that thing can only be given to people who are close to us. You gave it to him now. If he uses it indiscriminately, it will be broken." Our reputation!"

"It doesn't matter." The old pastor also said lightly in the dragon language: "The light in his eyes tells me that he is not a person who acts recklessly and does not know how to advance or retreat." Then he said: "Abbro, you know that we psykers and Where is the biggest gap between divine and arcane spellcasters?"

Seeing that Abgo was speechless, he went on to say: "Compared with divine spellcasters, our psionic abilities are inherently lacking in healing capabilities. At most, we can only do some pre-defense or make up for it. And compared with arcane spellcasting Compared with the others, our psychic powers lack variability. They cannot be as varied as arcane magic."

After a pause, seeing that Brother Aibo understood, he said quietly again: "And in this person, I saw a strange combination of spellcasting! He seems to regard himself as a source of power, and the wooden The runes on the card use this power to receive the energy of the universe and form spells. This method of casting not only has the characteristics of our psionic powers, but also can produce orthodox magical effects. I guess changing the runes can also Generate other spells and even arcane spells! If we can borrow this skill~~."

Abgo understood that if this skill could be learned by a psychic, it would open up a whole new world for the development of psychic power!Then the future development of psykers might be able to catch up with mages!Thinking of this, I suddenly became excited.

Just about to suggest that the "priest of the God of Air Elements" be forced to stay, the teacher said: "Let's go, I can feel a powerful and strange power hidden in his eyes. This kind of person is rare. It is impossible to ask for it. If there is a chance in the future, we will meet again."

Ai Buge put away his words and yelled at the team to move on.He knew that the teacher was good at prophecy-type psychic powers, and if one day he really wanted to find this priest, it would be a breeze - because the characteristics of this person had been imprinted in his mind by the teacher, and he could use psychic powers to accurately locate him at any time!

In the evening, the caravan boss came back with a tired look.

The first thing he did was to pay those mercenary fighters the mercenary money they owed.But after the soldiers lined up to take the money, their expressions 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 send money to the three of them.

"Thanks to your help last night." He said politely, showing a trace of helplessness on his face with a smile: "I need to trouble you to pay more attention on the way to Giffen City."

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

"Ah~" the boss sighed, his originally neatly trimmed beard is now unshaven, and his originally energetic rectangular face is full of wrinkles: "It was originally a pastor, but due to the many delays in payment of employment payments, so He left the team halfway. A small team like ours needs money to buy more and better goods, and has to pay more money to protect these goods. Money has always been tight. If it wasn't for borrowing this time With the loan from the Shimano Chamber of Commerce, my team will never reach Giffen City."

Grimm, who got some money, seemed happier. He interjected, "Then how do you find a high-ranking mage to be the backstage? You can also get business opportunities in the upper class?"

The boss smiled bitterly and said, "Once a caravan like ours catches a lot, people don't think we are at all. If you want to get on the side of high-level mages, it's better to make friends with a few low-level and middle-level mages first. Becoming a high-ranking mage will naturally have a friend leading to the upper class."

"The mage?" Grimm asked, "He just obtained the third-level arcane art, and there is still a long time before he can reach the sixth level. And it may not be possible in the future~~~" Grimm said, but choked up here, because I need more time than others, and the chances are even slimmer!The sixth level is the watershed between high-level mages and middle and low-level mages.There is "no one in a thousand" among the mages who can reach that level.

The boss smiled subtly and said, "He's still quite talented. Besides, I can't find a better candidate. There are many people with better qualifications than him, but there are more people with better qualifications than mine."

Dong Hezi interrupted the gloomy atmosphere and said: "I heard that the loan from the Shimano Chamber of Commerce is worse than usury, and if you don't pay attention, you will be beaten to the bone. How dare you go to them for a loan?"

The boss smiled wryly: "In several nearby countries, only large loans can be borrowed from it, and the rest of the chamber of commerce will not be so generous."

"Can you show me the loan contract?" Dong Hezi asked.

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

But seeing Dong Hezi's brows getting deeper and deeper, the boss asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem?"

"On the surface, they are all preferential terms." Dong Hezi said: "If you look carefully, you will be lured in by them, and you will be confused, thinking that you can take advantage of it. It seems that you can really take advantage of it on paper." Cheap." He shook his head and said, "However, the premise of their preferential terms is that you can sell the goods in full within the scheduled time and get back the payment in the shortest possible time. If the whole process goes smoothly , you can not only escape the shadow of usury, but also take advantage of it. They even encourage you to keep borrowing from them and use their loans to develop your own strength."

He raised his eyes to look at the boss, and saw a trace of color and surprise in the boss's eyes.He asked again: "However, don't be too happy. Can you guarantee that you will go well every time? 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 pay you a dozen times. Let's spit out all the benefits."

The boss was stunned for a long time, and finally admitted: "Did you do business before? This is indeed the case. But as far as I know, many people ask them for loans to develop their teams. You know, as long as you have enough Money, not only can you do bigger business, but also you can hire stronger mages, priests, and mercenaries to escort your goods, so that you can earn more money! More money can hire more, more A strong helper! In this way, the risk will become smaller and smaller."

"That's the case in theory. But theory doesn't equal reality, and ideal doesn't equal future." Dong Hezi handed the contract back to him slowly, and said casually: "Of course, if you're lucky enough, you can also try .”

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

Grimm yawned while packing his things, and cursed in a low voice when he was done: "x※◎￥, those ogres are really a group of energetic beasts, they stay up all night noisy at night. I see how much they can walk today. Lilu! There is also that mastodon, which stretched its nose and barked endlessly early in the morning, and no one cares about it. Also, this room is cold and damp, and the bed is too small to even stretch its legs. My legs are sore. If I knew it earlier, I would directly bless myself to endure the environment, and then sleep on the floor more comfortably!"

"Who told you to go out to watch the excitement last night?" Le Lin started bickering with Grimm again while packing up her dagger: "It's already midnight when you come back, so what kind of magic spells do you need to prepare? Just you guys What can low-level spells do?"

Grimm glared at her angrily, and sarcastically said, "At least he can make great achievements in killing Palik. Unlike some people, who are chased and beaten by a monster with no IQ but can't do anything about it."

Lelin was about to lose her temper, but was stopped by Dong Hezi again: "Stop making noise, Grimm should be preparing spells. Those ogres are really noisy, and they stink. Fortunately, I don't have to accompany you tonight." They are gone. Everyone hurry up and pack up, we are going to set off soon.”

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

Walking on the bridge as wide as six carriages, Dong Hezi couldn't help but marvel at the engineering capabilities of this world.This bridge has no gaps or traces of piles of bricks and stones. It is completely fused together by magic, and according to the needs of mechanics and aesthetics, it is shaped into a beautiful long bridge with graceful arcs and strong support.As a stone bridge, its height is also extraordinary.Inland river boats carrying more than [-] passengers or small coastal cargo ships can pass below.

Walking on the bridge with the caravan, looking at the neat and tall red-roofed buildings on both sides of the big river, and the continuous flow of large and small boats in the open river, I suddenly felt a sense of prosperity and tranquility.It's hard to imagine that once you leave the city, you will face all kinds of intelligent creatures that cannibalize you.

The boss and the sorcerer rode horses and accompanied Dong Hezi's caravan, and introduced to them: "After crossing this river, you will enter the Dilu Sac Road. The commercial roads opened up are all ruled by humans, so there are fewer robbers. But you will encounter many lord checkpoints, and you have to pay high taxes to pass. But they don’t want to die as long as they have money, and they are better than those dog-headed lizards. Humans and jackals are better."

"So, what non-human kingdoms are there in these areas?" Dong Hezi asked.From the words of the boss, it can be heard that many areas are not under human control.This is quite different from Earth.

"There are many." The boss said: "The largest is the dwarf kingdom Talabat, which spans four human kingdoms and has a well-trained griffin flying force. The strength is very strong! The human kings go to the tower every year. The nobles and nobles of the Kingdom of Rabat pay a large amount of high-quality wine, and if there is something wrong, they will be looted by the dwarves, just like a group of robbers. Oh no, worse than robbers! Bandits are only occasionally encountered, they are always They came here to ask for food and wine. It made everyone from the king down to the peasants unable to live a peaceful life. Fortunately, the group of short bandits lived in the tall and steep mountains, so they would not threaten our Tylusak Shang Dao. Otherwise, we merchants will be miserable! I heard people say that anyone who has dealt with dwarves said: I would rather make friends with gnolls than do business with dwarves. They are tyrannical to humans!"
