The heavy downpour beat on the tarpaulin, making a dense sound like pouring beans in the darkness.
The roof on the back of the beast has an ingenious design. Luo Yu bundled a roll of canvas and placed it there. When it was sunny, he rolled it up and when it rained, he opened it to form a simple canopy on the platform.
A rosin torch was fixed on the railing with a bracket. The light of the fire swayed in the rain, reflecting the vast water curtain between the sky and the earth, and the faces of several people soaked with rain.
The diamond-shaped metal object in the distance drew a standard arc in the rain and flew back. Luo Yu put down the mechanical control glove on his right hand, the silver rail clicked back into place, and the clockwork fairy fell down and was caught by Fang Plover.
"Is it done?" Luo Yu asked nervously.
Fang Plover nodded.
The tall boy breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Yu looked at him and couldn't help but be a little curious. "Why do you want to become a battle craftsman so much?"
Luo Yu's talent in combat craftsmanship can only be said to be mediocre, far inferior to his talent in elemental mastering. Even with the full power of the fairy lady, he can barely make the clockwork fairy fly.
"I just like it." But Luo Yu shook his head and did not answer the question directly.
Fang Yu saw this and stopped asking questions - with Luo Yu's talent, it would be almost impossible for him to continue on the path of an alchemist after returning to the Oak Knights of Tabolis. Perhaps being able to realize one's dreams during the trainee period can be regarded as a different kind of self-comfort.
But at least he's flying, which is a good sign. It hasn't been too long since he started learning to control flexible structures.
On the other side of the platform, a French girl was carrying a Kingfisher XA magic furnace on her back with the help of Siesta. This universal amateur magic furnace was a spare found at the bottom of the storage box, but unexpectedly it came in handy at this time.
Tianlan was still chatting with the maid. "Sister Siesta, your pair of gauntlets are so beautiful."
The maid glanced at her and retracted her hand without leaving any trace.
"Ah?" Tianlan noticed this detail. "Sister Siesta, don't you like these gloves?"
The maid said nothing. After helping her fix the magic furnace, she grabbed her collar with her right hand and lifted it up. The cold metal of her fingertips touched the back of her neck. Tian Lan twisted around, giggling and said: "Oh, it's so cold. I won't say it anymore. I won't say it anymore. Sister Shesta, please forgive me——"
Inside the room, Sylvide put a wet towel on Jita's forehead, turned around and looked at this scene with some interest.
There was a lot of fuss over there, and Tian Lan finally got his magic furnace ready. No matter how careless the little girl was, she was at least a trainee of the Grand Guild, so she had naturally and systematically learned how to use the magic furnace. She opened the throttle valve with her backhand, and the indicator crystals of the magic furnace lit up one after another.
"Really!?" Tianlan watched this scene and couldn't help but feel surprised: "I can really feel that the magic furnace is connected to mine. The output power of the crystal is actually 370M. Is this really magic power without attributes - ah, still It’s true! I wasn’t harmed by magic feedback!”
She hurriedly checked the system indicators and couldn't help but feel a little fussy. "Oh my god, brother Ed, how did you do it?"
"Can I link the resonance crystal of Karn's Piano?"
"It seems ok!" Each magic weapon has a resonance crystal corresponding to its main crystal, and the Karn's Gift made by Fang Plover is no exception. Tian Lan picked up the crystal and inserted it into the main interface of the magic furnace. The crystal on the twelve-stringed piano flashed slightly and then emitted a glowing light.
When Fang Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and clenched his fist secretly - his plan really worked.
In the world after the Star Gate, the trainee's system is a specially degraded virtual system. Since it has no glow material support, it has three main limitations. First, those who synchronize with it do not have magical adaptability; second, they cannot learn and record the skills of combat professions; third, their level is limited to below level five.
But after careful consideration, Fang Yu realized that except for the last one, these restrictions were not insurmountable.
Not having magical adaptability is the simplest problem for him - because he actually doesn't have it either. It can be said that there were no such powerful non-attribute crystals in the past, but this is basically not a problem for α crystals.
The AX type magic furnace used by Tianlan only has an output power of 370M. This is only due to the structural limitations of the low-level magic furnace itself. In fact, the maximum output power of the α crystal can reach 790M, exceeding all magic furnaces below level five. design threshold.
This standard is not only completely acceptable for trainees with a maximum of level five, but is even exceeded.
The second point, not being able to learn and record the skills of combat professions, does not seem to be a big problem. Sky Blue's professional bard is a half-life and half-combat profession. The combat profession consists of offensive sound magic, but the auxiliary part is actually a life profession. Even if she only uses this half of her ability, it is at least better than what she is fighting now. It's much better to just be an audience.
On Luo Yu's side, Fang Plover fulfilled his wish and tried to train this tall trainee to become a combat craftsman. Although the combat craftsman is named combat, it is actually from the same school as the alchemist. If you don't learn combat skills, it is just a living profession.
It is true that combat craftsmen will learn some combat skills to a greater or lesser extent, but in layman's terms, they can completely give up on 'skills' and only pursue 'normal attacks'.
What skills can a level five character have? It's nothing more than 'strength enhancement' and 'dexterity burst', which also play a role in melee structures such as walkers and fearless ones.
But the combat idea designed by Fang Yu for Luo Yu was to transform the clockwork fairy into something similar to the Annihilator's shining force field, turning it into a floating shield. This shield does not require any skills. As long as you have ether knowledge and magic knowledge, you can control it. As long as Luo Yu can control one side skillfully, he can protect the shooters like Tian Lan, Jita and even Parker behind him.
Even if he can control more than two sides, before the crystal overheats or the magic power is exhausted, he can be regarded as an excellent protector in the team under level five. And this is really not an impossible task. It may be a bit difficult for him to achieve multiple controls by himself, but don't forget that there is also a powerful "Fairy Envoy" here.
But this may not be a good thing for Luo Yu.
"Fairy abilities are of no benefit to combat craftsmen's mastery of flexible construction, and may even be harmful," Fang Plover reminded him. "That's why I asked you to use old-fashioned control gloves to control the clockwork goblin. This trick was also taught to me by the craftsmen when I was in Kapka. In fact, for the control of flexible structures, weight-bearing training is very useful. necessary--"
"But you don't have to worry too much. After all, this elf's ability is only used in battles. If you do some coordination training at ordinary times, you still have to master the exercises by yourself, and the impact will not be too big."
Luo Yu nodded after hearing this: "I understand."
Fang Yu also nodded. One of his plans was to use the special abilities of the α crystal to give Tian Lan, Luo Yu and Ji Ta the abilities close to those of the chosen ones. This is a shortcut with the quickest results, but it is a temporary measure after all. In the long run, it is unlikely that the three of them will continue on this path.
Not to mention, the level limit of the trainee system is an insurmountable obstacle.
Therefore, he still had to remind the three of them to prevent them from relying too much on this system. The real development direction of the three of them in the future must ultimately be the trainee assessment, with the goal of becoming real selectors.
The two were silent for a moment.
Luo Yu suddenly asked: "Ed, I heard that when the goblin user controls the goblin construct, he can no longer distract himself from controlling the flexible construct. If you use the goblin to assist us, won't it be more inefficient than fighting by yourself? "
"Normally, that's the case, but I may be a bit special, so you don't have to worry about that." Having said this, he couldn't help but look down at the doll girl in his hand.
By chance, the goblin lady was also raising her head. Under her long hair braided with mithril silk, a pair of emerald-like eyes were looking at him motionlessly. Fang Yu raised his hand and straightened the messy hair in front of her forehead.
"Thank you, Mr. Knight."
Miss Tata stretched out her little hand to hold his fingers and spoke in her heart.
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and realized that he was not just special. In fact, he might be the only owner of the Fairy Dragon Knight in Aitaria.
But some things don’t need to be said so clearly.
He still remembered that day at the hotel, after everyone left, he asked Sylvide why she took the initiative to help him hide the dragon soul. He had no intention of hiding this matter from Miss Atila and the others. In his opinion, Tianlan, Luo Yu and Red were partners who could keep secrets, and a team should fully trust each other.
"What about Mr. Parker?" Sylvide blinked her beautiful eyes and asked him in a nice voice.
"Parker...isn't bad at all."
"It has nothing to do with whether the nature is bad or not. You should understand this, Mr. Ed. The reason why secrets are called secrets is often because sometimes there are complicated interests involved behind them, and sometimes they are accidental mistakes. It would lead to disaster, but if you hadn't told Mr. Parker, he wouldn't have considered the risk."
"When people share secrets, they are actually sharing risks. As a leader, sometimes keeping secrets in your heart is also a responsibility, and when you think you can disclose it, you You must clearly realize that you already have enough abilities.”
She looked at him, smiled slightly and said: "As for when is the most appropriate time, I believe that an outstanding person like Mr. Ed should know better than me, and there is no need for Sylvester to talk too much."
These words changed his opinion.
The secrets within the elven ruins even led to a protracted war between the two behemoths, the Rainbow Alliance and the Descendants of Flor, that spread throughout Long Summer. In this war, whether it is Silver Shadow, Jifflett Red Team, Miya, him or Dawn Star, they are nothing more than pawns involved in it.
To this day, he is not even sure whether the Hailin Crown is the answer to this mystery. According to his knowledge in the community, the Jefflite Red Team may still be searching for him, Miya, and others. The whereabouts of Dawnstar survivors.
Such a secret is indeed of great importance, and it seems a bit irresponsible for him to tell it rashly.
In fact, ever since he became the captain - even in name only, Fang Plover has begun to think more and more about issues from the perspective of Miss Scarpet, and reflect on whether the decisions he made as a matter of course were all right.
And whether it will bring unnecessary danger to those around you——
He looked up.
Not far away, Tianlan was still debugging Kahn's Gift, making one or two harsh noises from time to time, which attracted Parker from the opposite room to come out to protest more than once, asking her not to make so much noise at night and affect Papparal. Man's sacred right to rest.
But the little French girl didn't care about that. It was raining heavily, and there was lightning and thunder over the forest. The sound of her piano was far less loud than the sound of the rain, not to mention the thunder, so it was impossible to have any impact.
After a dispute, she simply left the Papalars aside and ran over happily to find Fang Plover. "Brother Ed, I've finished adjusting it. How about I play a song for you?"
"OK."
"Not good." Fang Yu and Luo Yu replied at the same time.
Luo Yu looked strange and opened his mouth to say something, but it was too late. Tianlan screamed with excitement: "Great, I haven't played the twelve-stringed piano for a long time. I practiced it often when I was in the trainee camp."
Fang Lu absolutely believed this.
The trainees of the Grand Guild are different from those who were recruited from grass-roots teams. They are either from the youth camp or youth training camp of the club, or they are selected from the virtual league. They have already shown outstanding performance before becoming trainees. It shows the talent potential in a certain aspect, so it is generally targeted training.
For example, Jita is a naturalist, and even before becoming a naturalist, she already had a magic book - although it was not prepared for her alone, how can ordinary electors have this condition? Luo Yu is an elementalist. Although he prefers combat craftsmen, it turns out that his talent as an alchemist can only be said to be average.
As for Tian Lan, she has long said that her future goal is to be a bard, so even though she can only choose a career as a trainee now, she has more or less learned or understood some of the abilities of a bard.
For example, playing ability.
Eden's Apple - one of Elpua's hymns, has the ability to calm people's minds and retrieve lost experiences, knowledge and memories from the lost past. This is the most basic non-combat-oriented song of the bard, and one of the favorites of new poets - its practical effect allows people to slowly trace back the cognitive experience gained within twenty-four hours, with one tower per song. Within a ria scale (almost four minutes), a person can gain one percent of the total experience gained in a day, up to one fifteenth.
What's more, even if you don't have this ability, being able to listen to melodious music for a short while next to the campfire every day will definitely improve the morale of the team. Therefore, bards are a popular profession everywhere.
"Stop, stop, stop -"
However, Tianlan had only played for a few seconds when Fang Pliong interrupted the little French girl with a change of expression.
"Okay, okay," he said while wiping his sweat, "It's just a test, no need to play anymore."
"Ah, why?" Tian Lan held the twelve-stringed harp in her hands, very confused. "Brother Ed, what you see and hear in Aitaria is experience and knowledge, right? Everyone will gain some cognitive experience more or less every day. Now we just have the opportunity. How much is a little extra experience?"
"As for why..." Fang Plover's face turned green.
Only now did he understand why Luo Yu objected before.
Of course, Tianlan's twelve-string piano playing level is actually not low, and the tunes he plays can even be said to be pleasant and intoxicating. But the bad thing was that as soon as the prelude ended, she started singing Eden's poem.
Barren accent is a euphemism, but it is actually tone-deaf.
The Poem of Eden is a long poem praising the forest goddess and young lady Aimea. Iden is the pseudonym she used in the mortal world, and the original poem tells a beautiful and well-intentioned love story.
But Tian Lan was out of tune from the first word, and what finally unfolded in front of Fang Plover was this picture: a dark forest, a gloomy castle, an ugly witch, poisonous apples, conspiracies, and intrigues.
It was just the first game that almost made his and Luo Yu's hair stand on end. As for that extra experience - forget it, don't want it anymore. It's not worth losing your life for a little experience.
Both of them were pale and sweating profusely. They were stammering and didn't know how to divert Tian Lan's attention. A savior came from the other side of the saddle bridge. Aitila, who was on duty at night, appeared there and shouted to them in the rain:
"Someone's coming, Ed!"
Fang Yu felt amnesty and asked quickly: "Miss Aitila, who is it, how many are there, and in what direction, are they coming towards us?"
Although Tian Lan was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of the elf girl, so she just walked to the side holding the twelve-stringed harp in her arms.
Attila glanced at the two of them and shook her head: "I don't know, but I'm afraid there are quite a few. They are in front of us on the right, and they should be coming in our direction."
Fang Yu couldn't help but frown after hearing this. This description always reminded him of the attack a day ago. And Tianlan couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this: "Front right, why did those people run in front of us?"
"It's not necessarily them." Red and Papalar in the other room heard the noise outside and walked out. However, since the suspension bridge between the two platforms has been broken and has not been repaired yet, Parker can only shout from the other end.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't them?" Tianlan got angry when she mentioned that group of people. "It's just the right time. Brother Ed and Mr. Big Cat are both here this time, just in time to make them look good. We haven't avenged Jita's revenge yet!"
And Aitila looked at Fang Plover.
Fang Yu understood what the elf girl meant——
Of all the people here, the one with the highest level is Red and Sylvide's maid Shasta. The big cat is a thirteenth-level warrior and a twelve-level priest, which together make him a twenty-level paladin. As for Siesta, others don't know how high her level is. According to Sylvide's description, she should be slightly lower than Rhett.
However, despite their high levels, their ability to passively detect the surrounding environment is not as good as Attila's.
The elf girl is a part-time hunter and druid. Coupled with the elf's natural advantage of long ears, if the environment is suitable, she can sometimes even hear subtle noises several miles away with the wind.
But among all the people, he has the strongest active investigation ability.
But it was himself——
"Now?" Fang Plover asked.
Etila nodded.
Fang Yu immediately opened the throttle valve of the magic furnace behind him with his backhand, raised his right hand, and saw the magic sensor crystal on the control glove light up slightly - he pulled down his goggles. In Luo Yu's somewhat envious eyes, there was only a soft buzzing sound.
Four clockwork goblins flew out of the room one after another, circled around the platform, and then dispersed into four routes into the rain curtain, flying towards the direction Etila said.
Just watch this scene.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The improvement of a team by an excellent combat craftsman is really obvious.
