Chapter 372 Wedges
Although it is late winter, the morning in Steel Castle is still freezing cold .

Except for a few poor hawkers who ventured to the center of the lake to get ice, other Steel Fort citizens hid in the warm indoors, and no one had the leisurely time to go out for morning exercises.

Therefore, at first glance, there are only two dogs and two dogs on the open shore of the lake.

"So..." Winters rubbed the fur between the ears of the wolfhound, humming in a pleasing manner by the big dog being petted. He looked up and asked Karman: "Why do they obey me?"

Karman hesitated for a moment: "Because of witchcraft?" Deshaman, how to use the shamanic dive technique?"

Normally bickering too much, causing Kaman to see Winters' smile and instinctively want to retort.

But now he has something to ask for, so Mr. Father can only resist the urge to quarrel and follow the other party's words to ask: "Are you really not? Then why are there barbarians in Qingqiu? Calling you [Hestas], and barbarians worshipping you?"

"I was discovered by you..."

Kaman lightly snorted:"It's not that I didn't Long eyes."

"But." Winters changed the subject and said solemnly: "I really don't know the shaman dive technique."

Kaman laughed angrily, He pointed to the two wolfhounds whose tails were wagging like windmills: "No barbarian witchcraft? Then how did you make them behave like dogs? Divine Vestige? You don't want to say - you do it by love Probation of the big wolfdog?!"

Hearing Kaman's question, Winters coughed a few times shyly. He hugged the two wolf dogs and defended: "They were originally dogs!"

......

After the bloody battle at Qingqiu ended, the Chihe tribe searched the corpse, and finally The identity of the wolf-riding assassin was identified as an animal spirit speaker [white sturgeon].

The Chihe Department detained the body of the white sturgeon, and firmly disagreed with Winters' request to inspect and take away the body of the white sturgeon.

The reason is: although the white sturgeon tried to assassinate the white lion in vain, he was still an out-and-out shaman and the chosen one, and the Chihe Department would never hand over his body to outsiders for insult.

Winters also snapped the White Lion's horse [Changfeng] in return, and the two sides barely evened.

So all Winters got from the white sturgeon was that peculiar bone flute.

However, as the warrior to kill the white sturgeon, Winters also has the right to select the same spills of war from the white sturgeon's heritage.

The white sturgeon brought a total of six wolf dogs to Qingqiu, "consumed" four, and the remaining two were locked in the cage and only discovered when they were cleaning the battlefield.

The members of the Chihe Department regarded the two dogs, which looked indistinguishable from wolves, as evil and planned to slaughter them. The little hunter Bell couldn't sit back and watch, so he begged Winters to save the two Spirit Beasts.

After learning about this, Winters couldn't bear it, looked towards the Spirit Beast of the white sturgeon as spills of war.

The Chihe Department was so happy that someone took over the troubles between the two "Spirit Beast" and "Evil", and happily sent the iron cage containing the wolf dog into Winters' camp.

This is where the story should come to an end.

Because the two wolf dogs were too fierce to approach, they could only be kept in iron cages. Winters couldn't figure out for a moment how the white sturgeon manipulated the wolfhound like a finger.

But Winters' camp has a more ferocious creature than a wolfhound.

The "little fellow", who was disturbed by the barking wolf dog all the time, once slipped to the carriage of the wolf dog while Bell was not there, and gave the two wolf dogs through the iron cage. There was an "on-the-job training".

Since then, the two wolfhounds have quickly repositioned themselves. They are no longer screaming, and they are no longer murdering people. They also wag their tails when feeding, and can even be led away.

But...little fellow has never given up the idea of eating dog meat.

It is always sneaking behind the wolfhound and lurking, and has not changed it after repeated teachings, and has almost succeeded a few times. Forcing Winters to put the wolfhound in the cage again.

In order to save the dog's life and avoid a tragedy. When the embassy in Tiefeng County dispatched the golden men and regrouped, Winters asked Bell to take the little fellow to the south, and followed Lieutenant Colonel Moritz to escort the gold bars back to Tiefeng County.

He himself took the two wolf dogs along the north road, first returning to Jiangbei Province, and then stepping into the mountains.

This is the beginning and end of the two wolfhounds appearing in Steel Castle, and Winters got the inspiration for the "Beast Spirit Whisperer dive technique" after arriving at the Republic of Monta.

……

[Time goes back to the present]
Hearing Winters say "they were originally dogs", Kaman immediately asked back: "Do you want to ask someone to ask? ?"

Winters stopped talking.

During Monta's trip, the two wolfhounds had several misunderstandings.

The Monta Republic has more mountains and less land, and needs to buy food from the Van Republic all the year round. In addition to tending a few acres of thin fields at home, the most important livelihood of Monta farmers is herding, and they hate wolves who poach livestock the most.

So along the way, the two wolf dogs were almost shouting and beating.

Anna tried to sew a pair of particularly conspicuous collars around the necks of the wolf dogs, proving that they have owners. The result was to make them easier for the Montans to notice, but not to dampen the hostility in their hearts.

Winters had to explain over and over again that "these are dogs, not wolves."

Even so, the stubborn Monta Mountain folks were still skeptical, and many Monta farmers turned around and whispered, "What's wrong? Treat wolves as dogs? Oh, Veneta!"

So if others were to judge, the winner would definitely be Kaman.

Winters stroked the wolfhound's neck and explained earnestly: "If I guess correctly, they should be a mix of a wolf and a dog. Although they look like wolves, their loyalty is not inferior to Dog."

"Isn't a wolf-dog hybrid not a wolf?" Karman folded his arms.

Winters was silent for a moment, then thought and replied, "It depends, probably, to whom they are loyal. If they are in the company of wolves, they are wolves. If they are loyal Protectors, they are Dogs."

"The origin is not so easily erased." Kaman frowned slightly: "They have the bloodline of wolves, so in the eyes of many people they are wolves."

"Perhaps so." Winters stroked the wolfhound's oily fur and sighed, "But don't you think they are pathetic? Their loyalty is unquestionable, but their former owners took advantage of this loyalty despicably and ruthlessly. He strapped them to frag grenades and sent them on suicide missions. They didn't know they were doomed, and it was possible that they were filled with unreserved loyalty just before they were smashed to pieces."

After listening silently, Kaman asked curiously: "[The fox will feel sad when he sees the rabbit being killed by the hunter]; [Wild beast will shed tears when he sees the misfortune of the same kind]... You shouldn't Did you remember what happened to you when you saw the two wolf dogs?"

Winters was choked up and coughed violently.

After a while, he asked Kaman mockingly: "When did your offensive become so strong?"

"Who made the teacher teach well?" Bend over to salute solemnly.

This time it's Kaman's big win, and Winters waved his hand: "There's no need to keep arguing about whether they're wolves or dogs..."

"Listen to you." Kaman Smiling.

Winters reiterated: "I don't know the shamanic dive technique."

"I don't believe it." Kaman smiled.

Winters quick sword cuts through tangled hemp: "Do you think that being able to drive animals means mastering the shamanic diving technique?"

"Accurately, driving animals is a barbarian shaman. One of the most powerful abilities, the literature records that other pagan cults have similar spells... This is something we have confirmed long ago."

Winters shook his head slightly and asked a digression: "We On the way here, have you seen how the Monta herdsmen herd their sheep?"

"I have."

"What about the Hurd people herding sheep? Have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it before." Kaman was puzzled: "What does sheep herding have to do with witchcraft? is it possible that you learned barbarian witchcraft from sheep herding?"

Winters Without answering directly, he explained: "Hed herdsmen ride horses to herd sheep, because the grassland is flat and the pastures are wide. But Monta herdsmen can't do it. Have you ever seen Monta herdsmen riding horses? First, they can't raise horses, and secondly, they come to the mountains. The terrain changed drastically, and people and horses couldn't help but run back and forth up and down the mountain..."

"So what?" Kaman tilted his head.

"That's why the Monta herdsmen use dogs to herd sheep." Winters spread his hands: "Of course, the Hurd people also keep dogs, but the cooperation between the Hurd herders and the shepherd dogs is the same as the Monta herdsmen and herdsmen. Compared to the cooperation between dogs, it is like putting a child who learns swords on the first day in front of the sword technique Master."

Kaman frowned again.

“You say I can drive wild beast, but my ability to drive these two stupid dogs is not worth mentioning compared to the ability of Monta herders to drive sheepdogs.” Winters pointed to the group around the lake. Shan, talking eloquently:

"Monta shepherds only need to whistle, and the shepherd dog immediately knows what to do. Even the herdsmen don't need to give orders, the shepherd dog knows how to drive the wolf and leopard, gather together Sheep, stop rams from fighting. And me? It took me a lot of work to get these two stupid dogs to learn to pick up sticks."

As he said, Winters picked up two driftwood and threw them at random. In the distance, two wolf dogs jumped out "sou".

After a while, the two big dogs ran back happily, each holding a branch.

“If this is to drive an animal, if it is to drive an animal it is a dive technique.” Winters asked with a smile: “Doesn’t that mean that every Monta herder is a Hed shaman?”

Kaman's thinking is a bit confused: "It's still...different..."

"What's the difference?" Winters asked, "Aren't the results all the same?"

"The paths are different." Kaman gradually clarified the logical relationship: "The shepherd is through training, and you, you are through sorcery."

Winters asked confidently: "Since the results are the same, you How can I conclude that I use the Heard dive technique instead of teaching them to pick up sticks through repeated training?"

"I don't have the heart to have a philosophical debate with you." Kaman frowned Tight: "If you like metaphysical arguments, I will find you a few real debaters when the time comes, and you can argue for as long as you want."

"Didn't God Academy teach you? Philosophy?" Winters wondered: "How much do we all learn in the military academy."

Kaman said angrily, "Scholasticism is not holy . Content that may spark controversy, let alone learn dialectics!"

Winters commented with interest: "Abandon rationality? Skepticism? Why does your order sound a little heretical?"

p>

"Shut up!" Kaman was flustered and exasperated: "What heresies do you know?!"

"Who taught the teacher well?" "Thanks to you, I have read all your books."

Kaman seemed to be drained of his strength: "You still talk about barbarian witchcraft, do not talk about me going back I'm done."

"Okay, let's get down to business." Winters put away his smile and said seriously: "What I'm going to say below is not something I learned from books and classrooms, but for a teacher. A little reflection on the records left by the sages...and a little personal experience of mine."

Kaman noticed the change in Winters' tone, and listened with a formal attitude.

Winters cleared his throat: "We, our sorcerer of the Alliance School - if there is such a school - believe that magic is not a wishing machine, it is not 'from A to B' across all paths.

If the use of a spell is likened to 'musket shooting', then the Union school spell does not directly give you a high-speed buckshot. The Union school spell is a shot with a butt, barrel, and gunpowder The matchlock gun, the role of magic in it is like a faint fire star at the tip of the matchlock.

And every structure of the whole gun should be able to be studied, understood and improved, because it It follows an objective law that we do not know yet. As for the method of exploring the law, there are only repeated experiments and demonstrations.

Since your Catholic Church has a scholastic philosophy, I also simply call the idea of the Union School of [Philosophy of experimentalism] - if the alliance sorcerer really had a school and really had a philosophy."

Kaman nodded deadpan.

"Sorcerers like me who are destined to enter the army are only nurtured and trained by the Magic Warfare Bureau as a tool - I also gradually understood this after I met you." Winters sighed, some Regretfully said: "I haven't taken any speculative courses, and no one has told me what logic and ethics the alliance sorcerer system is built on. Anyway, we only need to know how to use spell..."

Winters paused for a moment, glanced at Karman, and added: "It's a bit like you."

Karman slightly startled, narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean, what do you call The magic of the 'Alliance School' is not a 'wish machine', but a 'key driving force' similar to flint and steel, to achieve magic by 'pushing' an existing system?"

" I currently think so." Winters replied rigorously: "The specifics will be proved by experiments."

"Okay, I understand, please continue." Kaman's expression appeared. An imperceptible sneer vanished in a blink of an eye.

But Winters caught it, and he asked Kaman sensitively: "What are you laughing at?"

"I didn't laugh." Kaman denied it.

"Lies go to hell!"

"I think of something happy, can't I?"

"You laugh because you think you found it It can defeat the fatal loophole I said before, and you have evidence to prove that the loophole exists." Winters stared at Kaman and quickly speculated: "But you don't want to tell me, so you can only declare it in a snickering way. Victory."

Kaman turned his head and looked towards the lake, not making eye contact with Winters: "Alright alright, let's talk about barbarian witchcraft."

Card Mann wouldn't let go, and Winters couldn't force him to tell the truth.

So Winters asked Karman somewhat disappointedly: "Did you know that there are actually two types of Beast Whisperers in the Hurd tribes?"

"Which two?"

p>

"The Chosen and the Unchosen." Winters stated succinctly: "In the Heard tribes, the Beast Whisperer means someone who can communicate with the wild beast, and is not directly related to the Chosen identity. The one I solved in Qingqiu was the Chosen One. Bell was not the Chosen One, but he and the little fellow - the lion who was too lazy to die - got along day and night, and he could communicate with the little fellow. From the Germans' point of view, Bell is also an animal spirit speaker."

Kaman responded with "um" and "um" while nodding.

"Of course, this is my way of distinguishing as a bystander, and the Hurds themselves will not distinguish this way." Winters picked up the wolf dog and put it in front of Kaman: "Back to the original question , why do you think they obey me?"

Kaman asked tentatively: "Because...you also get along with them day and night?"

"Because they see me as a alpha wolf, a leader , family members." Winters bluntly replied: "Herd shamans believe that wild beast also has spirituality, they have the concept of family and group just like humans. Just like guard dogs will sacrifice their lives to protect their masters, not because they are afraid master, but out of a kind of love similar to family members. Therefore, those who are not the chosen ones, the overwhelming majority raised Spirit Beast from childhood to adulthood, and are naturally regarded as family by Spirit Beast - just like Bell. "

Kaman doesn't care about the Unchosen: "What about the Chosen? "

"The Chosen One?" Winters touched the wolfhound's head: "The Chosen One's Beast Whisperer is another path. Have you ever seen a cavalry train a warhorse? "

"No. Kaman shook his head.

"Horses are very timid animals. They are afraid of flames, loud noises, and pungent gunpowder." When it encounters these things, it instinctively wants to run. "Winters shrugged: "But now the battlefield is full of fire, gunshots and smoke, so cavalry horses must overcome instinct. So how do you think war horses should be trained to overcome their instincts? "

"Put guns next to them and let them get used to it?" "

"Yes, but not only that. "Winters took out a small pocket from his bosom and opened it to show Kaman.

The pocket contained jerky.

"While firing guns and cannons beside the warhorse , to feed the horses with sugar cubes. Winters took out a few pieces of jerky and fed it to the wolf dog next to him, explaining to Kaman: "In this way, I can gradually associate 'eating sugar' with 'musket'. After a long time, not only will the war horse not be afraid of the sound of the flare gun, but even get excited by the sound of the flare gun. ”

After speaking, Winters sent several passwords to the wolfhound, and the ferocious-looking wolfhound obediently followed the instructions to sit, lie down, and roll.

After a set of actions was completed , Winters spread his hands, and the wolfhound couldn't wait to lick the jerky away.

"You mean..." Kaman asked suspiciously: "Herd Shaman also drives wild beast in this way. ? "

"I want to tell you that the Hed shaman has a similar experience and method." The underlying principle is like the pillars of the temple. Although the Hurds decorated the pillars with layer after layer of drapery called 'ceremony', 'tradition' and 'rules', but the pillars that support the temple are still stone pillars. The underlying principle of the Hed shaman driving the wild beast is essentially the same as the way the Palatine cavalry trains warhorses. "

"It's that simple? "Kaman felt incredible: "Hey candy? jerky? "

"Of course it's more than that. " Winters shouted sharply: "Since the underlying principle has been clarified, does Hed shaman still need to feed jerky? candy bar? Do you need the Chosen One to feed jerky and sugar cubes? They have a more direct way! "

Before he finished speaking, Winters had already taken out the peculiarly shaped bone flute.

He patted the foreheads of the two wolf dogs, took a deep breath, and then blew the bone flute.

The sound range and timbre of the bone whistle are different from the ordinary whistle, can't be considered loud, but the penetrating power is stronger, and Kaman can vaguely hear a sound similar to tinnitus.

What shocked Kaman even more was the wolfhound's reaction.

With the sound of the bone flute, the two wolfhounds became extremely excited, happy, and content, and they shuddered and prostrated, one There was even pale-yellow warm liquid dripping from under the wolfhound.

“Got it? "Winters threw the bone flute to Kaman: "The Platoons don't feed candy to war horses every time, where can they afford it?" So they have a special kind of clicker. Press the clicker every time you feed the sugar. Over time, even if the people of Paratus don't give sugar to the war horse, just press the clicker, and the horse will drooling. "

Kaman stood still, not moving.

"So when I heard Bell describe the ceremony of the Beast Whisperers, the first thing that came to my mind was the training of the Platoon cavalry." War Horse Tips. Take a bone flute to try, sure enough, this bone flute is the 'clicker' of the shaman assassin. ”

Winters sighed helplessly:

“If I say, that assassin is the monster that truly 'passes the appearance and touches the essence'. Using the Spirit Beast as an object, and letting the Spirit Beast perform a suicide attack, in the eyes of the shamans, is a blasphemous act of blasphemy. That assassin tramples on all the ethics of the Beast Whisperer, but he is also the Beast Whisperer who makes the most efficient use of [Beast Taming Technique]... Really ironic. "

"You wait." Kaman held the bone flute, suddenly grabbed Winters, and asked eagerly: "You haven't said how the barbarian shaman 'makes wild beast happy and excited'? "

Winters smiled slowly and replied peacefully, "I don't know. "

"You don't know? "Kaman's voice rose involuntarily.

"Yes, I don't know. Winters paused, looked at Kaman, and said word by word, "But you know." "

"How do I know?" "Kaman is an unfathomable mystery.

" Of course you know. "Winters looked Kaman's eyes directly: "Because within the Catholic Church, there is also a dive technique that can achieve similar effects, but the object of the operation is a person - me, this is the proof!" "

"You mean to say." Kaman felt greatly humiliated, and he laughed extremely angry: "Is the [Blessing of Radiance] bestowed by the Lord on the Holy Sect and the sorcery used by the barbarian shaman to stimulate the wild beast the same thing? ! Please say it again in front of me. "

"Don't get excited, I didn't say it was the same thing." " Winters urgently appeased Kaman: "As you said, although the results are the same, the paths may be different. And your [blessing] is obviously not as effective as Hede Shaman's native method, and Hede Shaman's spell may not necessarily be used on people... And according to my observation, you like to secretly use blessing when preaching Although the believers are happy when they leave the church, it is really immoral for you to do so..."

"Fart! Kaman swears for the first time, grabbing Winters by the shoulders and yelling: "When did I use Radiance Blessing in a sermon? Why do you contaminate my innocence? How long do I have to prepare for each sermon, you know? do you know? ”

The emotional Kaman almost scuffled with Winters on the spot. Fortunately, there was no one else by the lake in the morning, otherwise it would be another anecdote.

Wait until Kaman has a little Steady, Winters suggested carefully, weighing his words: "If you think I'm humiliating the Catholic Church, I can offer you a chance to demonstrate the Divine Technique of the Holy Sect and the... witchcraft of the Hed Shaman. Not a thing. "

"How would you like to prove it?" "Kaman sneered.

"The only way to prove it is through a controlled experiment. Winters' tone was as calm as possible: "Like, let's get two more dogs..."

Kaman stood up and left without saying a word.

Winters hurriedly pulled Live Karman: "Wait, listen to me. "

"I don't want to hear anything from you!" "Kaman's attitude is firm: "[Do not test your Lord]! Monsieur Montagne, don't try to peep into the mysteries of creation, that's not the realm you can touch! "

"[Believe and then understand, reason is just an echo of belief." If you do not have faith, you will not be able to know the world; if you only know devotion, you will not be able to approach the Lord.] "Winters quick witted in an emergency recited a paragraph of the original text that he forgot to see, and he sincerely said to Kaman:
"If there really is a creator, then all the laws of the operation of all things are the embodiment of mighty force." Exploring the laws and understanding the laws does not push you away from the Creator, but the way you approach the Creator. If you're really as religious as you appear to be, you shouldn't be so resistant! [Do not put your Lord to the test]? That's fart! Lifting the veil of the Lord is the only way you can embrace the Lord! "

Kaman as if was struck by lightning, he froze for a long time, and finally walked away without looking back.

Winters watched Kaman leave, hooked the head, and pulled out Get out the snack bag and feed all the jerky to both Great Doggy's.

"At least punch a wedge in there, right? " Winters rubbed the jaws of the wolf dog and said with a smile, "It's not worth reading so many broken books! ”
