Chapter 428: Magic Thorn
"Qi Ge! You're awesome! I didn't expect you could actually convince my parents!"
As soon as Laura met Qi Ge, she excitedly jumped onto Qi Ge's back.
"Be respectful. I am your teacher now."
"Teacher, go! Go!"
"Oh, let's go!"
Qi Ge carried Laura on his back, just like Zhu Bajie carrying his wife, and carried her out of the [Underground Treasure Chamber of Commerce].
Accompanied by Laura's laughter, Qi Ge took Laura to a tavern on the street in Potato City.
"Please enjoy your [Hellfire Red Wine] and [Snowtop Mountain Tea]."
The evil-eyed waiter, dressed in waiter clothing, dragged the dinner plate with one tentacle, and the other two tentacles rolled up [Hellfire Red Wine] and [Snow Peak Mountain Tea] and placed them in front of Qi Ge and Laura.
[Hellfire Red Wine] looks like liquid lava, sticky and bubbling with hot bubbles.
[Snowtop Mountain Tea] looks very much like Qige’s real ice cream, and its milky white appearance is very attractive.
"Hmm." Laura grumbled, obviously unhappy. "Qi Ge, you drink wine, but you let me drink tea?"
Qi Ge swallowed a mouthful of the hot red wine and said with a smile:
"What else?
I promised Madam Shafna that I would not let you drink alcohol until you become a hero."
Laura muttered unhappily:
"I don't drink with others, but it's okay if I drink a little with you."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, just saying you're a bad guy."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Qi Ge was happy instead.
"Lola, can you tell me what your hero's path is? I'll see if I can help."
Laura patted her chest and said with great enthusiasm:
"My hero's path is to [create a unique troop belonging to [Dark Elves; Concubine Hybrids]].
Just like your [Half-Elves] race became famous in the Yasha world, my dream is to make [Dark Elves; Concubine Hybrids] famous in the Yasha world!"
Even Qi Ge was a little surprised after hearing what Laura said.
“Laura, you have great ambitions.
The half-elves are the most numerous of the many mixed races in the world of Yasa.
Compared to the strength of the half-elves, it is questionable whether there is a second person like you in the entire Yasha world.
But even the half-elves have never had a high status in the Yasa world.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the demigod Gru, no one would have taken the half-elves seriously until now."
Laura smiled guiltily.
“Ah, that’s why I said it was a dream.
Dreams are illusory things. "
"Um."
After hearing what Laura said, Qi Ge rubbed his head and felt a headache.
He had realized that Laura had no idea how difficult her heroic path would be.
Qi Ge knocked on the table lightly and said:
“Lola, in fact, as long as you can become a hero, your race is destined to become famous.
If you want to create a new type of soldier, the quickest way is to find a mount that suits it.
For example, [Pegasus] + [Silver Elf] = [Silver Pegasus Cavalry], [Griffin] + [Swordsman] = [Griffin Knight].
But you can't go this way.
Your heroic path is to [create a unique army of [Dark Elves; Concubine Hybrids]].
This means that you cannot gain recognition by finding a suitable mount to advance.
You can only become a strong enough soldier to make [Dark Elves; Concubine Hybrids] a new race recognized by the world of Yasha, and then you can complete the hero's path and become a hero."
Qi Ge looked at Laura and said solemnly:
“For example, the [Phantom Shooter] is a type of soldier that is powerful enough to be recognized by the Yasha world.
If you can become such a powerful soldier , it will be easy to become famous. "
Qi Ge tapped the table lightly and recalled:
"The previous [half-elf] was just [elf-human hybrid].
After the birth of [Phantom Shooter], the racial name [Half-Elf] was recognized by the world of Yasa.
And other types of soldiers such as [Half-elf Mercenaries] and [Half-elf Hunting Mages] were born."
After Laura heard this, her mouth opened slightly, and she looked a little lost.
“To create a powerful military force that can be recognized by the Yasha world?!
My path to becoming a hero is so difficult?
No wonder, even though I have enough experience to be at level 5, I still can’t advance to the next level and become a hero.”
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said:
“Actually, it’s not that difficult.
Look, didn’t Gru do that too?
Gru was originally just an ordinary half-elf mercenary, wandering around the border between Avili and Erathia all year round, just like every ordinary half-elf.
However, unlike ordinary half-elves, Gru is extremely obsessed with bows and arrows.
With his own talent and ability, he combined the magic archery of the Avili elven archers with the crossbow skills of Erathia and developed a bow with a special shape.
Relying on the powerful special bow and his superb archery skills, Gru [evolved] into the first [Phantom Archer] (level 5, stage 1) in the Yasha world. "
After hearing the examples given by Qi Ge, Laura was not happy at all.
"But His Majesty Gru is a demigod!"
Qi Ge stared at Laura's eyes intently and began to persuade her:
"So what if he's a demigod? Every demigod was also an ordinary soldier before he became a demigod.
Laura, think carefully about how you started your journey to becoming a hero.
Being able to open this heroic path means that the faith in your heart is enough to support you to complete it."
After listening to Qi Ge's words, Laura closed her eyes and thought for a long time.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and said firmly:
“You have to complete the heroic path you have chosen, even if it means dying of exhaustion!
I will never give up.
At the beginning, the demigod Gru was able to rely on the [Phantom Shooter] to successfully make the [Half-Elves] stand out in the world of Yasa.
My little Laura can do it too!"
very good!
The trick was successful!
The seven pigeons were satisfied.
Before Laura realized how difficult her path to becoming a hero was, she simply charged forward with her passion, and once she encountered setbacks, she would easily become discouraged.
Now that she knows how difficult her heroic journey will be and can muster up the courage to take on the challenge, her chances of success will be a little greater.
"Lola, what kind of soldier do you want to be? Can you tell me about it?"
"Um……
I want my mother's agility and quickness, but I also want my father's powerful magic."
Seven Pigeons: ...
"Magic Thorn?!"
Qi Ge was extremely shocked.
"Hmm? What's the magic spike?"
"The spell-type assassin class is called spell assassin for short.
First use possession magic to increase your own physical damage, or simply use magic as the main means of output.
After dealing a lot of damage to the enemy's main force, you can then rely on magic such as stealth, teleportation, and substitute puppets to escape from danger.
A special type of soldier that comes and goes without a trace, has many methods, and is hard to defend against."
When Laura heard what Qi Ge said, she nodded rapidly.
"Yes, yes! This is what I want!"
"Fairy, let me think about it."
In Qi Ge's mind, several famous magic assassin soldiers from his previous life flashed through his mind one by one.
[Demon Headhunter], [Ghost Behemoth], [Death Naga], and my [Guardian Holy Angel].
Tsk, why are they all high-level soldiers?
It seems that there is really no magic assassin among the low-level troops...
No, [True Thousand Sword Dancers] can barely be considered a magic thorn.
He has the [Golden Blade] magic to increase damage, and the ability to teleport to escape.
However, he still has too little magic and does not make full use of it. Even if you insist, he can only be considered a half-magic assassin.
The total ability value of a type of soldier has an upper limit.
To become a spell assassin, spellcasting ability, movement speed, damage ability, and escape ability are all essential.
The total ability value of low-level soldiers is limited, and it is too difficult to become a magic assassin.
"However, if the method is clever enough, there is a way."
Qi Ge thought about it in his mind and said softly:
“Lola, I’ll remember this matter, and I ’ll arrange it for you when we return to the territory.
But before that, we have to go to see Lord Xilika first."
Laura tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Looking for the clan leader? What for?"
Qi Ge patted Laura's head gently and said, "You are the captain of the city guard of Potato City. How can I take you away if I don't ask Lord Xilika to help you resign?"
"Oh!" Laura suddenly realized. "That's right, I don't know when I can come back after I leave, so I have to resign first."
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and several sturdy minotaurs walked into the tavern with a group of evil eyes.
The leading minotaur carried a huge battle axe on his shoulders. As soon as he entered the tavern, he shouted loudly:
"Moo! Boss!
Call out your best little cows, we guys are going to drink good milk today!"
The evil eye beside him quickly grabbed the Minotaur's arm and said in a low voice:
"Deputy Captain, keep a low profile. We still have half an hour to go before the end of training.
If the captain knew about this, we would all get beaten up.”
"What are you afraid of!" The Minotaur shook his arms vigorously to shake off the evil eye.
“That vicious bitch is off today!
Damn, she finally agreed to take a vacation!
Two years! Do you know how I have been spending these two years?
Every day I'm either fighting monsters or training, I can't even drink a sip of milk wine, it's so frustrating."
Qi Ge was watching with great interest when he suddenly felt a chill coming from beside him.
He turned his head and saw that Laura had taken out two blunt daggers without blades.
"Qi Ge, wait for me here, it will be over soon."
Laura said coldly and stood up suddenly.
Qi Ge only saw a black shadow flash in front of him, and Laura had already rushed in front of the Minotaur !
Laura's two blunt daggers slashed across the minotaur's body at a rapid speed, leaving two black lines on the minotaur's body in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, rich dark energy instantly exploded in the Minotaur's chest.
“Intensified pain, cursed mark, dark blast?!
Three level 1 magics are attached to the pair of daggers and stabbed out at the same time?"
Qi Ge's pupils shrank.
“Moo!!”
The Minotaur deputy captain suddenly fell to the ground in pain, his body shaking and unable to speak due to the pain.
"Eh!! Captain!"
The other minotaurs and evil eyes around shuddered and remained silent.
Laura stepped on the minotaur deputy captain's back and gave him two hard slaps, while at the same time dispelling the dark energy from his body.
“Moo!!”
The Minotaur deputy captain crawled up from the ground and begged for mercy:
"Captain, I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to the tavern during training time. Let's go train now!"
Laura didn't answer, but just stared coldly at the Minotaur deputy captain.
He stared at him so hard that the Minotaur deputy captain broke out in a cold sweat.
He closed his eyes tremblingly and covered his head with his hands.
"Captain, I accept the penalty.
Whether you want me to fight a wild monster alone or run around Potato City ten times, I can do it.
Please don't fire me."
Laura is less than 1.5 meters tall, and the Minotaur deputy captain is almost 3 meters tall, but the Minotaur deputy captain is very obedient in front of Laura and is as well-behaved as a cat.
"well."
Laura put away the dagger and looked at the Minotaur deputy captain with pity.
“Niu Baiye.
This is the last time I will teach you a lesson.
Remember, the more you sweat during training, the less blood you will bleed when a real fight comes.
From today on, you are the captain."
Laura's words made all the minotaurs and evil eyes freeze in place.
They looked at Laura in surprise and shouted:
"Captain, where are you going?"
"Captain, what about you?"
"Captain, we can't live without you."
Laura shook her head slightly and turned to look at Qi Ge.
Seeing this, Qi Ge quickly raised his wine glass and greeted Laura and her city guards.
Upon seeing this, other members of the city guard began to shout in dissatisfaction.
"Captain, who is this guy?"
"Captain, he looks so good, but you can tell at first glance that he's not a good person. Don't be fooled."
"Fuck, Captain, you're not going to get married?!"
Laura didn't answer, but said softly with longing:
"I'm going to pursue my illusory dream."
…
…
Unfortunately, Qi Ge did not meet Xilika as he wished.
Probably because the war was approaching, Legend Shilika and the group of scorpion lions ran away to who knows where.
Fortunately, it was just a small matter like the resignation of the city guard captain, so it didn't actually require the approval of the city lord of Shilika. It would be enough to just find the military director of Potato City.
Qi Ge just wanted to find an excuse to get news about the Scorpion Queen from Xilika.
After successfully helping Laura quit her job, Qi Ge took Laura back to the God's Chosen City.
After visiting the God-chosen City of Qi Ge, Laura was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Oh my god, Seven Doves, didn't you say you only had a regular Acropolis?"
“It’s quite ordinary.”
"Sea whirlpools, timber forests, prophet's huts, great sulphur mountains, mountain fortresses, sphinxes...
It is either a miraculous building or a natural wonder.
You call this normal?!
So what is our potato city? Broken?!
Our Potato City has become one of the richest main cities in the entire Nigong just by relying on the natural wonder of the [Fertile Plains].
But in your territory, there are three natural wonders alone!!”
Laura comes from a wealthy family and has always lived a life of luxury, never feeling poor. But today, she finally tasted what poverty is like.
"Well, it's okay. You'll get used to it slowly."
Qi Ge took Laura to find the Centaur Rem.
However, after not seeing her for a short while, Goddess Rem has already reached level 14.
She also awakened her first profession - [Centaur Prayer].
[Centaur Spellcaster] is a unique profession that can cast magic without a magic book.
Before the battle begins, the Centaur Spellcaster can draw the magic he wants to release in battle on a magically adaptable wooden stick.
The Centaur Invoker can then cast these spells during combat.
This method of releasing magic consumes much less mana than casting spells with a magic book.
However, each magic drawn by the Centaur Prayer has a limited number of uses, so you must be more careful when using it.
What Qi Ge was interested in was the Centaur Spellcaster's ability to draw magic.
"Your Majesty Rem, your magic drawing ability is a unique skill that has long been lost in the world of Yasa.
If possible, I would like you to teach Laura how to draw magic."
Laura stood behind Qi Ge, looking at the beautiful white centaur in front of her.
Even though Qi Ge had told her many times how kind and amiable Rem was, she still couldn't help feeling a little frightened when she saw Rem.
If Qi Ge had not lied to him, the person in front of him was the real God from a myth!
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but even from a distance, Laura could feel Rem’s powerful aura that was suffocating.
But thinking of her dream, Laura still plucked up the courage and introduced herself to Rem:
"Your Majesty Rem, I am Laura.
I am a mixed-blood with half dark elf and half concubine blood.
I dream of becoming a great hero and have been working towards becoming one.
For this reason, I hope to learn magic from you.
Please give some guidance to this ignorant student of mine."
Rem looked at Laura with a smile but didn't say anything.
Just when Laura thought the matter was going to fail, Qi Ge took out a huge cabbage king from his space backpack.
“According to the rules of the Centaur tribe, becoming a disciple requires a gift of apprenticeship.
Your Majesty Rem, what do you think of this?"
Rem nodded with satisfaction and took the Cabbage King from Qige.
She controlled the sand beneath her feet, forming a pattern in the air.
In the pattern, Laura stands next to Rem, following Rem to examine a huge leaf covered with magical patterns.
Laura was overjoyed when she saw this.
She ran to Rem very cleverly, took Rem's hand, and called out sweetly:
"Thank you, teacher."
Rem touched Laura's head with a smile and nodded to Qige.
Qige finally felt relieved and said to Rem:
"Your Majesty Rem, I'll leave Laura in your care."
Qi Ge looked at Laura and explained again earnestly:
"Lola, you have to learn magic drawing from Her Majesty Rem.
Once you have mastered the art of magic drawing, I will find you a teacher who can teach you stealth and assassination."
Laura knew how rare it was to have the opportunity to learn from Rem, so she responded with the loudest voice of her life:
"Don't worry, Qi Ge! I will definitely study hard!
When I become a hero, you have to buy me a drink!"
This girl... maybe her concubine bloodline has awakened, why is she always thinking about drinking?
Qi Ge smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a night of drinks then."
…
…
Aged sat in his room, his eyes confused and he was fidgeting.
Beside him, there were many medicines scattered around.
Energy potions are the most common, followed by magic potions.
In addition, there are a bunch of underwater breathing potions, life potions, swiftness potions, etc.
Colorful bottles and jars almost filled the entire room.
While Aged was sorting out the potions, he looked back at his voice-transmitting conch from time to time.
On his conch shell, there were still traces of his message to Qi Ge.
[My dear disciple, come to Thunder City as soon as possible. I have something important to discuss with you.]
"Tsk, why haven't you replied to me yet? I hope nothing has happened to Qige."
Aged scratched his head uncomfortably.
During this period of time, he has experienced the enthusiasm of the four major factions.
It's true, you finish your performance and I take the stage.
Everyone wants to knock Aged out with all kinds of benefits.
Escher, Deris, Trosa, Fafnir.
Each and every one of them wished that Aged would speak in the Grand Council tomorrow to express his support for them.
Even for the super experienced Aged, it was very difficult to deal with these guys.
Fortunately, the two tasks assigned to him by Qi Ge have been completed.
He successfully contacted the leader of the Naga tribe, Blood Blade, and reached a deal with Blood Blade as an informant of the devil Song Jiang.
Blood Blade will use the power of the Naga clan to help Qi Ge's fairy tavern expand in various major cities, and Qi Ge will let Wolfs continue to provide the Naga clan with the Scale Stone.
In addition, the Naga tribe will share some military intelligence of Bracada with the Seven Pigeons free of charge.
The second task.
Aged successfully hacked into the magic database of Thunder City and obtained the distribution of all fairy forces in the entire Bracada.
This even includes a detailed list of goblin spies who have been completely controlled by the wizard.
Just as Qi Ge guessed, ever since the great escape of the fairies from Decheng, many fairies who hold a certain status among the fairies have been controlled by the Breiting Temple in various ways.
Even Ke Ruoke was on the Thunder Temple's [Reserve List].
Fortunately, before the Thunder Temple could take action, Ke Ruoke disappeared from Bracada's surveillance network because she joined the Seven Pigeons' camp.
With the two tasks completed, Aged is now waiting for the Seven Pigeons to join him in the God's Chosen City.
He now has a lot of things to ask Qi Ge.
The matter of the Conferred God Organization, the matter of Anosus, the matter of the [Hammer of Order], the matter of the Holy Dragon Emblem...
Many of Agaide's doubts could only be answered after the arrival of the seventh pigeon.
"Hey. Why haven't you replied to me yet?"
Although he had just seen the sound-transmitting conch shell ten seconds ago, Aged couldn't help but look at it again.
Just as Aged was about to look away, a line of small words suddenly appeared on the conch shell.
[Received. Dear teacher, your disciple Xingfeng will arrive in Leiting City on time this afternoon.]
Um?!
Aged slapped his thigh excitedly.
The good disciple is finally here!
He turned his gaze to the bottles and jars around him and nodded with satisfaction.
“One thousand bottles of legendary energy potions.
It took the entire Bracada three years to save up enough to survive.
This much should be enough for my apprentice.
Hey, as a teacher, your greeting gift can’t be shabby.”
