"Uncle, are you really a member of Vizard? How come I haven't heard of your name before - what? Have you heard of my name? Have I become so famous now?"
"Uncle, where did you learn your magic? It looks fancy... Oh no, it looks very powerful. Can you teach me too?"
"Uncle, how did you come to this place? I have been training with the students of the Mage Council... No, no, it is to carry out camp resettlement and repair work. The location is right at the door of the portal, but I seem to have never seen you before...Ah! Did you come to this place earlier than me?"
"Uncle, do you have a bad relationship with the senior officials of Wizard? I heard that when those people came to this camp, they almost started a fight with Uncle Qingshan and the others——"
"Hello!"
A miserable howl of anger mixed with helplessness echoed behind the ridge of this high mountain. The figure belonging to Yu Meng finally rose from a certain ruins in the corner of the camp. He covered his face and kept asking questions about the person he was talking about. The red-haired girl ran away and complained to Duan Qing like a bullied elementary school student: "Can you take care of this woman! Are you just watching her pester me like this?"
"Isn't it a good thing for you that such a beautiful woman is so curious about you?" Looking around and calculating and analyzing, Duan Qing replied absently: "And people respect you so much, but you keep pretending Isn’t it inappropriate to ignore strangers and ignore them?”
"I have no reason to pay attention to a person who keeps calling me 'uncle'. Do I look that old?" With an expressionless expression on his face, Yunmeng left the girl who was still snickering and jumping up and down. Said aside: "And the questions this guy asked - is she here to work together, or is she here to deliberately cause trouble?"
"Don't be so angry with a curious girl, you will never find a girlfriend." Duan Qing stopped his busy hands, turned around and looked at the other party sideways: "Or maybe you can't answer those questions? Are they all your secrets?"
"I thought your people already knew this information."
Turning to look at Qian Zhihe who was still sticking out his tongue and making faces at him from the distance, Yunmeng finally calmed down his rising and falling chest: "Forget it, live in exile with me in Vizard. Compared with life, this level of harassment is nothing, but——"
"At least you can't disturb my work." He pointed back at the finger and moved it away from the red-haired girl's body, slowly moving to the metal ruins emitting purple fluorescence: "What kind of rune do you have?" Are you ready to build the defensive array?"
"It's just time to eat, we can rest for a while." Looking up at the sky, Duan Qing shook his head and laughed a few times: "Have a rest, I brought the remaining barbecue from last night, I just need to re- Just warm it up and that’s it.”
"Wow, I still remember your mouth-watering craftsmanship!" Rubbing his hands, the gloom on Yuomeng's face disappeared as he jumped forward: "When I was traveling in the Principality and the Empire, Those cooking you did! Those barbecues! I never ate them again during my subsequent escape! I am still deeply impressed by it now! I didn’t expect that after so many years - oops!"
"Qing, Brother Qingshan, if there is anything I can do to help, please just say it!"
With an elbow, he pushed the screaming Yuemeng out of close range. Qianzhihe, who returned to Duan Qing's side with quick movements, raised his fists seriously: "Do you need to make a fire? You must know how to use it for cooking. To the flame, right? My control of the flame has been trained and certified by the great magician, and I guarantee it will come in handy!"
"It's just a bonfire. It shouldn't require any high-level fire magic skills." Duan Qing scratched his cheek with a wry smile. He leaned back to avoid the red-haired girl's pink fist that suddenly came close to his eyes. : "I can do it myself, I shouldn't need you to be responsible——"
"No, how can there be any reason in the world to eat for free if you don't work hard?" Still raising his arms righteously, Qian Zhihe was like an elementary school student attending a summer camp who is eager to perform: "I am willing to use my magic level in exchange for this meal Delicious meal! I heard that the cooking made by Uncle Qingshan has been recognized by the system, and can even increase attribute values in a short time! These are hot items in the adventurer market outside! The finished product alone can be sold for hundreds Where are the gold coins!”
"Hundreds of gold coins, is that an exaggeration?" Looking at the roasted meats he had just taken out, Duan Qing sighed and shook his head involuntarily: "To spend so much money just to increase such a trivial attribute, what if the head of our family It would be bad if you know it, but gold coins themselves are of little use in this continent of wind where grassland tribes are prevalent - what's wrong with you?"
"Mr. Qingshan - ah no, Mr. Linyuan Duanshui, please give me some cooking work that can help me."
Raising his hands to Duan Qing and performing the standard magician etiquette, Yun Meng, who came forward again, also assumed a serious and serious posture: "My requirements are not high, as long as you can be at the end of the meal." Just let me pack up two copies and take them away - oh! It hurts, it hurts... you damn woman! You really deserve a beating, don't you?"
"You are the one who deserves the beating! Do you want to secretly sell it for money? Isn't it possible for a villain like you to covet the fruits of Uncle Qingshan's labor?"
"Who, who said I was going to sell it for money! I just...well, I just wanted to stay and use it as a food reserve! After all, I am a magician who has been working hard for a long time! It takes a lot of physical energy! It’s not like some people who go around in circles and take some time off from work, and always pester me with questions about this and that!”
"You, what are you talking about! Who is taking a break from work? I also helped Brother Qingshan a lot, okay? I found the magic induction node just now! What can you, an ignorant fool like you, do? "
"Okay, okay, stop making noise."
Duan Qing, who wanted to ignore the gradually rising voices between the two people, set up a campfire and prepared to camp on the spot, finally couldn't stand the noise of the two players. He used his hands that suddenly burst into flames to pull the red-haired girl The figure of the magician in black separated to both sides, and at the same time, they blocked their mouths with sizzling barbecue: "If we continue to argue, the meat will become hard, eat quickly."
"Good...good...good! Very good! Wuwuwuwu..." After a long while, he swallowed the roast meat stuffed in his mouth. Yunmeng's moved tears seemed to be about to fall together. : "I...I...seriously, is this rare delicacy in the world really something I can taste?"
"It's just an ordinary skewer of barbecue. It was cooked overnight. There's no need to be so moved." Duan Qing's helpless gaze was what answered him: "Or were you accidentally burned by my 'burning flame'?" arrive?"
"He deserves to be burned. He doesn't deserve to enjoy this kind of delicacy." He put the pitiful and desolate-looking magician aside, and also waved the Thousand-fingered Crane in his hand to Duan Qing with joy on his face. Pushed to another corner: "Brother Qingshan is so awesome. I didn't expect that the heating was completed in an instant. I didn't even notice the fluctuation of magic."
"You don't have to try to flatter me like this." Duan Qing sighed deeply, and finally showed his wry smile to Qian Zhihe: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I have never seen this performance from you this morning."
"I, I have grown up too, okay?" Qianzhihe raised the tip of his nose, and then put his hands behind his back with a shy expression: "And I'm not flattering you, I really think you The skewers are made very well. If you can, can... that, it would be better if you teach me personally, using the handle method——"
"Ahem." Clearing his throat forcefully, Duan Qing ignored the other party's obvious desire to get close to him: "You'd better keep this diligent and diligent energy to focus on rune magic, even though I'm just It’s only half a bucket of water, but if I can learn these things that I know now, it will be very helpful in the battle.”
"For example, the magic I cast just now borrows the memory function of rune magic." Having said this, he made a light red magic rune appear in the palm of his outstretched hand: " These runes are essentially a collection of pocket magic arrays, so they naturally have the characteristics that a magic array should have. If used properly, we can naturally imprint the magic we need into these runes in advance."
"If you want to combine magic, you can arrange these runes." Another light blue magic rune appeared on the other hand of the gray-robed magician: "Of course, constructing these magic runes The 'texture' of the text itself has already been considered for stability and compatibility when writing it. These runes will still encounter such problems when they are combined, so——"
"Not all runes can be combined at will and exert effects, right?" Listening carefully to Duan Qing's words, Qian Zhihe shook his long red hair and raised his hand lively: "But even so, such a way of use It’s already much stronger than the existing solid magic.”
"Smart." He smiled and tilted his head, and Duan Qing's eyes refocused on the two small runes in his hands: "So in terms of innovation and freedom, the rune magic system is also better than Ordinary magic systems are much more advanced. After learning simple strokes, Violet did not interfere too much with my own research on techniques. She hopes that I can use these rune magics to build my own magic system and truly put it into practice. It becomes a power that can be used at will.”
"The only thing she forcibly taught me was the violet rune system, that is, those purple runes." Pointing to the metal ruins with light purple outlines and the edges extending along the edges of the metal ruins Duan Qing's voice also became deeper: "Because there is a signature magic that belongs only to her, which is the magic of the void."
"This is one of the main reasons why the Council of Mages keeps a distance from the Lord of Violet." He curled up slightly, and the expression of Qian Zhihe beside him also became a little lower: "After all, it is magic. The natural enemy is the end point of all energy, and it is impossible for a normal magician to approach this kind of power."
"How Violet used her 'Violet Power' to control the void - the answer is probably in the rune magic." Nodding his head, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "From what I have learned now Judging from some of the results, this great mentor probably used anti-magic techniques and engraved this set of techniques into the runes."
"Anti-magic?"
"Or anti-magic skills, anti-element skills." Repeating two different names, Duan Qing continued to explain in a low voice: "This is also one of the magic skills that I have just started to put into practice recently. To move the power of the elements, thereby producing extraordinary magical effects... Hey."
"Are you familiar with this kind of magic?"
The gray-robed magician suddenly raised his voice to a corner, frightening away the panicked expression of Yu Meng who was in ecstasy: "If you want to learn, just say so. Anyway, I was planning to teach you these things." Otherwise, how can we repair the magic circle together?"
"Uh, that, that...ah hahaha." So Yunmeng could only approach again with an awkward smile: "Is it really okay? Tell me this kind of secret?"
"This is not a secret. Once your magic strength reaches a certain level, you will naturally encounter this kind of problem."
The two magic runes in his hand suddenly came together at Duan Qing's words, and a clear sound was heard in the air that was unique to the breaking of water waves: "Any force has forward and reverse directions. Use The same is true for the method, as long as you bring a little curiosity that is unique to magicians, you will discover these things."
"But this is not something that can be mastered in a short time with the existing magic rune skills. It's like forcing you to write backwards with your left hand and write with incomparable precision." Spread your hands and let the two magic waves fly away. Once in the air, Duan Qing showed a calm smile on his face: "You may be the first players in this game world to master this magic skill. If you start practicing now, you might be able to give others a big surprise. ?”
"Don't listen to him, you might become obsessed with practice." He snorted to break Qian Zhihe's still thinking state, but Yun Meng was the first to show his scornful expression: "I won't fall for you. Of course, if you practice this kind of thing, wouldn’t it mean that you are completely on the opposite side of the Mage Council and become their wanted target? Qian Zhihe has made great achievements recently and is now on the rise."
"Otherwise, she would not have led so many followers and subordinates when she came this time - this is the power that many presidents in the free world dream of."
Using the push of his hand to interrupt the red-haired girl's attempt to retort, the magician player pointed toward the top of the ridge.
"Look, isn't your little brother coming to see you now?"
