wandering fairy

The sun once again rose from the mountains in the east, shining into a large neat garden.This gorgeous aristocratic garden is just to the east of the Duke's seven or eight huge castles, just letting the soft morning sun illuminate every leaf, making them reflect a green jade-like crystal texture, which is extremely lovely.

Ivana was walking slowly in the big garden wearing another colorful dress, like the messenger of spring gracefully inspecting the thriving green land and pink and rose red embellishments.But she herself frowned. Early this morning, her father and Grandpa Bovodi went to the Military Aircraft Castle to discuss important matters, and they haven't come back yet.And his elder brother has been training border troops for many years to guard against the sub-giant tribes that may attack at any time.The brilliant sunshine shines on the loneliness in the heart, but who can understand it?My mother is a very devout follower of the Mother Earth Goddess. She spends most of her time praying, running charities, and studying theology, but she hasn't obtained a level 0 magic spell yet!But this not only did not dampen her enthusiasm, but instead made her spend more time on the construction of her beliefs--three days ago she went to the magnificent fortress-like temple of the Mother Earth not far away, and she has not been there. return.As for the ambitions and hobbies of her children, she is completely incomprehensible and even somewhat opposed.It's just that out of the mother's sense of tolerance and the character of the earth mother's believers, she didn't interfere.But his father always had a sullen face, and he was rarely seen smiling.He's always busy, always meeting all kinds of people.From the little priest who was born in a ruined nobleman, to the surrounding grand dukes, rich earls, to all kinds of strange men and even powerful bandits and robbers!He always entertained them very modestly, using various methods to make these guests happy.It seems that his only pleasure is to please those who are lower than him with the dignified duke supreme.This made Ivana very puzzled.

But what's worse is that they are always busy, always have a lot of things to do, always have no time to appreciate their own poems, and always have no time to accompany themselves to enjoy song and dance dramas.In this way, no one has ever cared about his own heart.The rich and carefree self seems to live within a gorgeous high wall, with no one to talk to.It's like these shrub gardens about one person high all around.Neatly arranged a complex and abstract picture.You can walk in it but you can't appreciate any inner beauty, you just feel that you are walking in the intricate green maze that is separated from each other.Appreciating the thick and gorgeous appearance has to bear the inner loneliness.

My ideal is actually to be a troubadour, walking on the vast land, using my talent and singing to win the praise of everyone.But for a nobleman this is extremely absurd!Even if you have this talent, you can't stand on the stage like a commodity and be judged by others.Dignity is not only your own, but also the whole family.

The sensible Ivana understands this, she doesn't want to be like those wayward and delicate ladies, and make her family worry about her temper.So I can only suppress my hobbies and emotions.Be a high and noble lady.It is enshrined and looked up at like a numb god.

Fortunately, I met the Navia mage. Although he is too old and his poems are lame and artificial, he is the only person who can communicate with me.It's just a little clumsy -- in poetry.

Thinking of this, she smiled softly, and walked slowly under a big tree, admiring the moving scenery of the leaves and grass tips blown by the bright breeze——a touch that only a poet's heart can experience.

It would be great if Navia could also experience it, so that I don't have to waste my time trying to revise his poems every time.

I only hope that one day, this lover can express his love to himself with the most beautiful poetry.At that time, no matter what he wanted to do, he would not refuse.

Ivana smiled shyly.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Hymina was like a naughty kitten among flowers, suddenly appearing in front of him without a sound.

"Ah!" Ivana blushed with shame, she was thinking about that, should she tell her?In a panic, he quickly asked wisely: "Sister Hemina, when did you come?"

Hymina was still wearing the curvaceous arcane leather armor, exposing her perfect and alluring figure in the bright sunlight, making her look extraordinarily attractive.She smiled and said: "Mr. Powardi hasn't come back. I couldn't hold back in the training ground, so I went for a walk in this garden, and I happened to meet you. Your clothes are so beautiful, even more beautiful than yesterday's. It really looks like Touching Goddess Suna."

Ivana asked suspiciously: "Mr. Bovodi came here this time not just to celebrate my father's birthday, right? Why? I always feel that he and my father are somewhat mysterious."

Hai Mina shrugged her shoulders and said: "I'm not very clear, I heard that our Steel Heart Flow Supreme Council plans to set up a training ground here to recruit noble children to learn our martial arts. Maybe it's because of fear of conflict with Giffen City Well, so I don’t want to make a big fuss.”

Giffen City not only trains mages, but also a training base for arcane soldiers.In fact, there is a training camp for arcane soldiers on the periphery of most mage academies.After all, many people will never be able to learn Tier [-] arcane arts in their entire lives. In order to make a living, choosing to become a pioneer in arcane arts is also a good way out.At least he won't let the arcane arts he has learned go to waste.And there is a large need for such people in the army, because they can not only carry out fierce close combat like ordinary soldiers, but also use some magic tools to replace the role of low-level mages.And the commission is much less than that of a real mage.

Although Steel Heart Flow only recruits noble children, while the Arcane Vanguard Training Base only recruits people who know arcane arts, there is no obvious conflict between the two.But Steel Heart Flow is very close to the Arcane Federation, so the independent Giffen City somewhat rejects it.

While chatting, the two walked towards the special gazebo with long domed columns. The moment they entered the gazebo, the breeze blew Ivana's long brown hair and lifted her rainbow-like dress, as if a goddess had fallen into the gazebo.

Haimina was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses and praised: "Sister, your beauty is really as elusive and indescribable as in the legend. Hehe, but if my brother is here, he must Will make a hundred hymns to praise you!"

Ivana just remembered.Another purpose of their visit this time was to discuss the mutual marriage between the two territories, and they suddenly felt tense.Although I have long heard that Hymina's brother is a very handsome man, and he is very knowledgeable in poetry.But now I already have Navia.How can you tolerate others?Even Navia is less than satisfying.But still his only love.

So he forced a smile and asked, "Then what is your brother doing now?"

Hymina smiled playfully and said, "He is preparing a special gift for you, sister. I will definitely surprise you then!"

The two just stood in the gazebo and chatted slowly, the sun was rising high before they knew it.The wind is blowing bigger and bigger.Other leaves and shrubs were shaking.Quite a momentum.

Ivana was a little tired from standing, so she said, "Let's go and sit by the stone chair." But Hemina laughed like a silver bell and said, "It's very sunny there, so be careful to expose my sister's delicate skin to the sun." Yes. You wait, I'll go and move it."

Ivana was dumbfounded, the stone chair was an exquisite bench carved from a whole piece of marble!And it is so big and thick that four strong men can barely move it.Haimina is a martial artist with a steel heart at any time, but her muscles are not much stronger than ordinary peasant women, how can she move?But before she could ask, Haimina had already jumped six or seven steps away, and after a few long jumps like a gazelle, she jumped onto the long stone bench.She rocked the rocking chair a little.It seemed to be looking for the center of gravity, then squatted down and raised his hands vigorously, and even walked over with this extremely heavy stone chair on his shoulders, as if he was moving an ordinary wooden stool in a steady manner!

Ivana covered her beautiful little mouth and watched her step by step up to the big gazebo, and then put down the stone chair easily.The moment the stone chair touched the stone ground, there was a heavy, muffled "boom".

Hearing her smile and say: "Sister, please sit down." Ivana was extremely surprised and asked: "Why are you so strong? They say that you are all as strong as a cow and as fast as a swallow." The monster. I thought it was nonsense before, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Haimina smiled and said, "What kind of monster, my body has turned violent, and of course my strength is greater than that of a human."

Ivana still didn't believe it: "But you look too relaxed, as if it doesn't weigh much. Let alone a human, even a cow doesn't have such strength. I think a rhino is about the same!"

Haimina's pretty face was full of unresolved smiles, she gently took her sister's hand, sat on the stone chair together and said: "Indeed, with my current strength, it is possible to move it here easily .So just now I used the special skill of Steel Heart Flow. It increased my strength several times in a short period of time to have that extraordinary effect."

Ivana was interested: "Skill? Could it be the power of Midgar in the legend? Where did this power come from? What's so magical about it? Can you tell me about it?"

Haimina smiled sweetly: "Of course. We can't wait for it. I really hope that more people can understand our genre, so as not to be seen as a monster when we go out." She slowly introduced in a clear and moving voice: "The power of Midgar mentioned in our genre is not a kind of power, but a general term for a potential function of the human body itself that has not been tapped. This function can coordinate the movement of muscles, bones and muscles. , greatly enhance the attack power, but the deeper the practice, the more attention will be paid to the potential of the internal organs, which can intentionally and temporarily improve the body's toughness, willpower and reflex evasion ability. What my student demonstrated at the training ground yesterday is the initial stage Some abilities, this stage is called the penetrating layer, which means that the power of the whole body can be penetrated. Concentrate on one point and explode in an instant, thereby producing huge destructive power."

Ivana gave an "oh" half-comprehending, and asked, "Just piercing the armor made of fine steel with a javelin yesterday? How much strength does that require? Even a strong bullfight may not be able to do it." .”

Haimina said with a smile: "Sister, don't be fooled by them. In fact, those two javelins are also tricky. They are not ordinary wooden javelins at all. They are all made of black iron from the tip to the tail. Yes! The total weight even exceeds some warhammers. So as long as its speed is increased, it can pierce armor, just like piercing armor with a sharp mace head."

Ivana continued to ask in surprise: "Throwing the warhammer? I heard that the fast one only saw a black shadow flashing by. Can it be so powerful when concentrated?"

Hai Mina said with a little pride: "Of course! If all the muscles in a person's body are exerted in one direction, it can produce amazing effects. It's just that most people can't do this. Either their muscles are all stiff They are tense, thinking that they are exerting the strength of the whole body. Little do they know that they can’t transmit the power to the muscles and body tissues that are really needed. Instead, they are wasting energy in vain; or they use part of the muscles violently. The consumption is reduced, but those muscles that are not working hard are restricted. For example, most people only use the strength of the waist, legs, shoulders, and arms when throwing a javelin, and almost no real boosting effect is produced by other muscles. And our steel heart The flow is different, every movement uses the strength of almost all the muscles in the whole body! Just like in arm wrestling, others only use the muscles of the arms and part of the shoulders, but I use the muscles of the whole body to do it. Confront him. Who do you think is more powerful? Of course, when exerting force, you need to use a special way to transmit the power of each muscle to the heavy black iron javelin. This is what we call Thunder Throwing. In this way, the impact force at the moment of the shot is comparable to that of a rhinoceros, and of course it can pierce armor."

Seeing that Ivana suddenly realized, she said, "That's not all, we have another way to stimulate potential power."

Ivana became interested again, and quickly asked with a smile: "Potential power? Do you mean the extraordinary power that ordinary people erupt under special circumstances?"

Haimina nodded at the beautiful face with blond hair and shawl, and said, "Yes, that's the kind of ability. It's just that ordinary people can't control when to use these powers. Most people can't even use them for a lifetime, but we can use them." The power of Midgar can be used at will. Let your strength increase exponentially in a short period of time. You see, I just used this method to move this stone chair. But this ability will disappear after a few times. Very tiring."

Ivana smiled and said, "So, isn't it the same as the savage fighter's rage?"

Hymina pouted her beautiful lips and said in dissatisfaction: "How could it be the same? Although they also arouse potential power. But they are aroused by violent emotions, and we use the power of Midgar to arouse. This is completely It's different. Their berserk is exhausted once their rage is over, but we can call it at any time. Much stronger than them."

Ivana showed a soft and pleasant smile, and asked, "What about the second level?"

Hymina suddenly became excited.Pulling the other party's slender and soft white hands, he said: "Sister, do you know that our steel heart flow is actually based on this second level of ability. The first level penetrates through the layer, although it can make people extremely strong. It has great power and killing effect, but it can't compare with a ferocious elephant. And no matter how strong an elephant is, as long as it is charmed, it will have no threat. So in a real high-level battle, strength is nothing. It's useless. When facing various spells, the most important thing is to resist various adverse effects."

Ivana asked softly: "Then you have developed the ability to resist spells? Is it the strong magic resistance that troubadours preached?"

Haimina giggled triumphantly and said, "That's all nonsense! It's not magic resistance. Didn't I just say it? It's a temporary increase in the body's toughness, willpower, and reflex action ability, so as to avoid the magic resistance." Spell effects. When Mr. Powardi is concentrating, ordinary petrification, domination of human beings, etc. are completely useless to him."

Ivana covered her beautiful soft lips and exclaimed: "It turns out that the human body's resistance can reach this level? Why have my arcane teachers never mentioned it to us? Every time they always say that arcane is omnipotent, arcane It is omnipotent. Sister, how did you develop your Midgar power?"

The handsome Hemina became serious: "The power of Midgar cannot be produced by exercise, it needs to be passed on." Seeing that Ivana was very puzzled, she explained: "The power of Midgar is a This is a potential ability that everyone has, but it cannot automatically wake up and play a role. It must be awakened by another Midgar power that has been formed. For example, my Midgar power was awakened by Mr. Powardi. At that time, he pressed his hands on the top of my head, and then used the power of Midgar in his body to awaken the power of Midgar that had formed in my body but had not yet awakened. This process is also very energy-consuming, Mr. Powardi After awakening the power of Midgar for me, I took a full month of rest before recovering. And after awakening, you need to use certain methods to cultivate this function. It will slowly change your body."

Povoldi, who is already over 50 years old, is walking with the Duke in the strong military barrier next to the castle.There are no colorful glass windows here, only thick bluestone walls; no fragrant flowers and bonsai, strong and fire-resistant oak doors and windows; not to mention a trace of gorgeous gold and silver decorations, only a mighty chill.

The two entered a tall room and followed a winding corridor.Go through one heavily guarded gate after another.Pass through one interconnected tall room after another.I saw here three steps, one post, five steps and one post, on the ceiling.There are also various detection magic devices installed on the four walls, even if a mosquito flies in, it will be detected.

After passing through more than ten gates, they entered a round pancake-shaped room.And the soldier closed the thick oak door, through which no water could get in.The room is surrounded by a ring of thick solid wood bookcases and file shelves, like a place where military documents are stored.Then two strong soldiers lifted a bookcase.A low stone door suddenly appeared on the wall, with a palm-sized purple rune on it.The Duke pressed the talisman, and the stone door sank into the wall, and then moved to one side by itself.

A long tunnel extending downward appeared in the wall, inside which was illuminated extremely brightly by a magic lamp that never goes out, but there was a kind of warmth instead of a sense of coldness at all.After the two walked into it, they closed the stone door again, and the sound of moving the bookcase came from outside—the two soldiers restored the bookcase again.In this way, no one knows that there is a secret passage behind it.

In the large and bright underground secret room, the blue-white magical halo on the wall illuminates an old face immersed in fantasy.He stood quietly with half-closed old eyes full of wrinkles, as if savoring the wonderful future.

Wearing a strong suit, Bovoldy walked in like a cat, and spoke first with a smile: "Spees! You timid cat with nine lives, you dare to bargain on behalf of Yongwu's God of War, Ares. ?”

The two old men laughed and hugged each other, and Speth laughed and cried, "Oh, take it easy, take it easy, don't crush my old bones. I don't want to be that poor rhino."

Bovodi joked: "Aren't you blessed by the goddess of luck? You were besieged by five fourth-level mages 30 years ago, and you escaped unscathed. Now your ability to sneak away is even stronger Well, why are you afraid of me strangling you?"

A strange smile appeared on the old Reverend Speth's face: "Oh, I can slip."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge irresistible force suddenly emerged from him, and he pushed Powardi away.Bovoldi felt as if he had saved a rapidly expanding steel giant ball, and he couldn't control it at all!His hands that were twisted together like iron chains were almost torn apart by this indescribable force.

In an instant, he snorted coldly, and shook his whole body again.Immediately, a strange energy was dispelled from his brain.His hands once again strangled each other tightly like steel chains.He laughed and said, "Repelling technique? Hehe, I almost fell into your trap."

This time Speth was really out of breath, and quickly shouted: "Don't let me lose, I admit defeat. Let's start talking about business now. Alas, your power of Midgar is getting stronger and stronger Oh, I was able to raise my willpower to an astonishing level in such a short moment, and I easily saved the spell I carefully prepared. It’s really not reconciled to lose to you every time.”
