Watching the Dawn

Vol 2 Chapter 2: Welcome to Bode's Gate

"Dang ~ Dang ~", bell towers echoed, and the long bell echoed above the city.

"Boo ~ Boo ~" a series of cheerful birdsongs, falling down the branches of the big aspen, flying over the narrow window of the attic, and beating the ears that landed far away.

"Bread! Rye bread just out of the oven!" Someone screamed under the window and threw the freshly baked bread into the wicker basket, splashing some crumbs of breadcrumbs, and some bread cracked Sweet fragrance permeates the attic.

"Ham Tom Liver will arrive in the afternoon, please prepare the tax for you. Hi Tom Liver will arrive in the afternoon, please everyone ...", a young man in black and white clothes and pointed boots The announcer shook the bell, shouted the announcement loudly, and ran across the street.

Lu Yuan felt that he had a dream, an extremely long dream.

He dreamed that he was born in a small village, had classes during the day, and ran cattle in the afternoon. Inexplicably forced to attend a school for more than ten years, must pass the exam every few months, if the test is not good, the end is extremely miserable. After that, I finally entered the key university, work, marry a wife, pass away my parents, get promoted, and have a secret. When I was about to find the second spring, I woke up ...

Woke up from a dream, he patted his head vigorously, and a severe pain came from his head. Lu Yuan touched it carefully and found a thick bandage wrapped around the edge of his head.

"I'm injured?"

Probably, another accident, no wonder no one came to call me to work.

Looking at the burn marks on his hands and arms, Lu Yuan smiled bitterly. The accident is much more involved, so naturally it does not care so much. By gently pressing the temples with your hands, this massage of the head blood vessels can slightly relieve the pain of the head, which is still the knowledge in that dream.

Why are dreams so real? Lu Yuan lay on the bed, virtually drawn a right triangle with his fingers, and then easily performed a calculation using the Pythagorean theorem. This kind of knowledge, even a junior mage, will not know, this should not be something that an apprentice like him can get. He was just a blacksmith apprentice, and later became a master apprentice through relatives. Speaking of it, but there are a few tricks, there is no chance to master such a deep knowledge of spells.

Circles, trapezoids, cubes, polyhedrons ... The more complicated the calculations, the things called "geometry" are as deep as they are engraved in the mind. Thinking of Master Habassel's calculation of the surge model for several years, Lu Yuan shuddered. If Habaser knew he would know these things, the end would be really unpredictable. They may be called to be assistants, they may be locked up as criminals, and the most likely thing is to kill them after draining their knowledge.

There are also chemistry, physics, algebra, machinery, electronics ... Oma, the omniscient, are you testing me?

This is no longer the knowledge of magic. It is broader and more comprehensive than magic. But it has nothing to do with magic, this is called science.

Oma, why do you, who knows everything, care about small people like me?

"Huh ?!" Lu Yuanmeng turned over and sat up, almost hit the wooden roof of the attic.

"Who am I ?! I ... I am ..."

His true past, the life of that young boy named Lu Yuan, was like a boulder sinking in a pool of water. Memories are like a few decades apart, intermittently incoherent, he patched up hard and panic.

A whole morning passed, and a combination of scales and half claws finally got some glances in the past.

He was born in the small town of Naxikai, south of Bode ’s Gate, and was the son of a Karatu businessman who never appeared again when he returned to the east when he was five years old. His mother was sick and sick. In the past few years, he grew up by helping Naxikai ’s miners to wash clothes and earn a little money. After seven years old, he worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop and learned some good craftsmanship. At twelve, his mother died of illness. Before his mother died, he entrusted him to his uncle's family, and then he was sent to the witchcraft grocery store in Bode's Gate as an apprentice. That was three years ago.

His cousin William? Gast is 20 years old, is a talented seventh-level master, the pride of his uncle's family.

William? Gast studied under the Archmage of Ramathis from the Gate of Bode, and became a formal mage. He joined the mage group serving the "Fist of Flames" and chose to engage in alchemy in the witchcraft grocery store. He has continued to expand his influence in the business alliance, calling friends to make friends, and he proclaimed that his goal is to join the Bode's Gate Council, unabashedly showing his ambitions.

Lu Yuan's apprenticeship was obtained with the help of cousin William Gast.

William? Gast is sociable and helpful. He organized the young mage group "Blazing Flames" because he repaired equipment for the Flame Boxing Mercenary Corps for free, and was received by the Grand Duke of Bode's Gate. He also entered the right system of the Grand Duke, and climbed hard. Here he is the rising star, and many people are optimistic about his prospects.

He apparently cares about Lu Yuan, arranges work and accommodation for Lu Yuan, and often instructs Lu Yuan in front of people. In all these ways, everyone knows that William Gast has a cousin he loves deeply. However, since it seems on the surface, it is of course different from the actual situation. In fact, Lu Yuan heard William Gast curse his appearance more than once, and even cursed him face to face.

Lu Yuan has a pure Karatu appearance, black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, and a standard Chinese appearance. This appearance has a loud title in Jianwan-"Son of Devil"!

Nowadays, more and more Karatu people from the far east appear in the Jianwan area. Talents of Jianwan know that the appearance of people in several countries in the East is the same. That number is far more than the total population of Jianwan, and in the East, Jianwan people also appear in the image of Raksha ghosts. So after that, people no longer associate this appearance with demons, only some stubborn old guys still have this prejudice.

Sadly, most of the parliament in power now at the Bode ’s Gate is precisely such old guys, and they have all heard rumors that Gast and the devil are in trouble. Therefore, William Gast felt that Lu Yuan blocked his way, of course, an abhorrence.

"Cousin! I heard you were injured! I told you not to do those dangerous experiments long ago! Do you know how worried your family will be!"

Suddenly interrupted his memory, that is his cute and respectable cousin William.

He first expressed his love with a voice that was enough for neighborhood neighbors to hear clearly, and then Shi Shiran walked up to the attic.

His cousin has beautiful blond hair, a handsome face, and a tall figure. When he sees someone, he smiles first, showing eight shiny teeth. It's a pity that the mouth is now spitting venom, "Wow, the devil's child is destined to be big. To be honest, I really envy you the good luck of always escaping from death."

Immediately dropped two bottles of purple potion by the bed, "Don't bother me, I will sit in a quarter of an hour!"

William took out a soft-skinned book and leaned against the window to read it. This is a fixed performance routine.

Lu Yuan is always injured.

He is just a low-level apprentice, no one will teach you the real thing in the witchcraft grocery store. At most, it tells you a process, and then it is repeated, repeated and repeated work, which is "cultivation". The consequence of the highly developed alchemy is the gradual lowering of the threshold of participation, so that the apprentices can gradually undertake the work that originally required the master to complete. Only in this way can we further reduce costs and squeeze the apprentice's labor force.

Anyway, the survival rate of apprentices is not high, everyone is accustomed to it, it is a common view to squeeze as much as possible before death. But in order to obtain mysterious magic knowledge, the apprentices of magic also have to perform outstandingly and actively engage in dangerous work in addition to their hard work. Only in this way can it be favored by the official mage.

For example, Lu Yuan engaged in alchemy work, commonly known as magic potion.

Magic extracts are often some uncertain products. From the point of view of chemistry, it is something of unknown composition, unknown concentration, and unknown nature. When this extract is "mixed" in the final step of the process of making a potion, there is a possibility of more than 10% failure and a 5% possibility of causing a serious explosion, so usually this step is carried out And simple basement to complete.

"Why don't you just drive me away? I think it's not difficult for you to find a reasonable excuse." Lu Yuan said.

"Oh?", William looked back a little surprised. Since the first resistance was taught by William, William has been accustomed to this relatively speechless play. Anyway, the two didn't have any feelings, even their own parents, since sending Lu Yuan was like losing a baggage, they didn't ask anymore except selling their sister's house as soon as possible.

"Do you want to leave?"

"Of course, since you think I have tarnished your reputation, is it okay for me to leave? I go to be my blacksmith, you go to be your parliamentarian, aren't you?" Lu Yuan said annoyed, Xinde Those memories made him have a strong sense of humiliation in his current life.

"It turns out you care!" William shook his head. "You are always stupid, I thought you were iron-clad to become an iron head. Since you don't like to hear me joke about your appearance, I will I won't say it. Forget those words like 'Devil's Son', those are just a joke, if you care, I can even apologize. "

"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan said doubtfully.

"You will not understand. As long as you know, you‘ Once ’did block my way, but I do n’t care now, so that ’s all right.” William continued to keep his eyes on the book.

"Forget it", Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, because I have decided to leave."

"Why ?!" William frowned and put down the book, asking unhappy.

"There is no future, no guidance, and life is in danger at any time. The teacher is just squeezed like a free labor. He does n’t even know my name. Now give me a reason to continue ?!"

"Well," William murmured and said, "This is my negligence ... I will try to change you to a safer environment, where you can also learn something."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Do you want to know?"

"I must know."

"Ok."

William pressed the book on the table and thought for a moment, said, "Does Anta Silver Shield know? One of the Grand Duke of the Gates of Bode, the most powerful of the most powerful people. Just the year before , The younger daughter of Anta Silver Shield Lier Silver Shield was kidnapped and brutally killed in the process of negotiations. After the incident, the angry Grandpa Anta Silver Shield cleaned the entire downtown area, more than fifty The famous criminals were hanged, and four real power figures collapsed, and there were 13 Fire Fist officers involved. This incident was so violent that it even completely changed the political situation at the Portal. "

He was silent for a while, and continued, "Prior to the strength comparison, Dagong was slightly inferior. After that, Dagong took the absolute advantage!"

William picked up the book and stood up, saying meaningfully, "Every big man needs a weakness that can be attacked."

William left.

Lu Yuan collapsed on the bed helplessly.

William thought he didn't understand, but how could Lu Yuan, who had decades of memory and was bombarded by the news every day, not understand? He is William's weakness in the bright place, which usually attracts malicious eyes. At the critical moment, he can sacrifice Lu Yuan in exchange for greater political chips.

This is bad.

But he didn't want to give up. Lu Yuan knew he was very talented! He even felt that he might be a genius. His body has always been very flexible, and his long blacksmith career has given him a very strong body. His memory is amazing, and any story can be firmly remembered after listening to it. Before his father, the Karatu, left, as if he knew he would not come back, he dictated to Lu Yuan, who was still young at the time, a set of meditation secrets and a magical spell "hand of the mage".

So Lu Yuan, like all children, insists on learning this well, and his father will come back. So he secretly meditates every day after his mother falls asleep. Two years later, he finally exhibited "The Master's Hand". He showed it to his mother, and the mother just told him not to let others see it after praise. Little Lu Yuan was meditating like this year after year, practicing the "hand of the mage" year after year.

From just moving a straw, to turning the red iron billet on the anvil, to turning the iron block by himself, and wielding the hammer with magic ... but the father never came back. After growing up, Lu Yuan gradually realized that after the first long-distance travel of the Karatu people away from their homeland, a large number of people would never leave their hometowns. They became loyal localists. Although he didn't wait for his father, he persisted in meditation, because that brought him the only joy of childhood.

In this world, from shallow to deep, magic is divided into nine rings. Those who can cast the first ring of spells are called formal mages, or first-level mages. Become a second-level mage after mastering the first-level spells, and can enter the next-level magic learning. The mage's character level can be divided into 20 levels, beyond which the mage will enter the legend. Before level 20, master one more spell every two levels until level 18. After 18th level, the legend only increased the number of spells that can be cast, and the level of spells is limited to the nine rings. This is stipulated by the mysterious lady, the mother of magic, the magic goddess Ms. Misra, who controls the magic net and the spell.

Since Ms. Misra weaved the magic net and combed the scattered and violent magic energy, it has had an unparalleled impact on the entire Feren world. Mage casting spells is more convenient and faster, and the possibility of ordinary people becoming mages has multiplied. After reading the book www.uukanshu.com, UU imitated the division of magic, and the magic also divided nine levels accordingly, which were given to his pastors by God. The magic net has determined the level of the magician. Other professionals in this world, whether they are well-known warriors, rangers, priests, etc., or less than ten psionic rogues, magicians and other unknown professionals, All of them will be compared horizontally according to the level of the mage, and their professional levels will be determined accordingly.

Before becoming a formal mage, as a mage apprentice, you can master some zero-loop spells. These spells use weak magic, have little effect, and have little power. They are called "juggling". It is mainly used for the determination of magic apprentices who are familiar with magic, as well as talent qualifications and propensity spell schools.

It took Lu Yuan two years to exhibit the "Mage's Hand". Talents can be said to be the qualities of the magician, and the possibility of becoming a formal mage is extremely rare. This made him desperate once he became an apprentice. As an apprentice, there are not many tricks listed as "must master". Brightening techniques for "charging" magic lamps, "freezing rays" and "acid splashes" for making potions, "manager's hands" for life-saving use of potions, and "restoration techniques" to clean up the scene after an explosion.

He watched others quickly mastering tricks. He could only make a useless look with a stiff face, but he spent almost ten times in private to keep up with the progress. He didn't tell William and anyone else about this, so William had some expectations for him. As for his mentor? A person who can't even call his name, how can he be qualified?

Drinking the medical potion brought by William, Lu Yuan fell asleep.

Itching came from his head, should it be better tomorrow?
