The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 058 New Skill: Double Jump
…
"Qi (Comprehension Level)"
"Description: A mysterious energy that has the ability to both heal and harm. At this stage (understanding level), you cannot control the direction of the energy and can only let it go."
"Effect: Wherever the Qi flows, your body functions will recover quickly, wounds will heal slowly, and the muscle density, congestion intensity, bone hardness and other data of the corresponding parts will be temporarily improved."
…
“Is this Qi?”
Roger spread his hands and felt the wonderful feeling.
The palm of his right hand itched.
It felt like someone was teasing me repeatedly with a feather duster.
After a while.
The mysterious "qi" left the palm, rushed to the chest, and sank down along the lower abdomen.
"This feeling, oh, no, um... it's a bit interesting."
at first.
Roger is still a little uncomfortable.
But slowly, he learned to live in harmony.
Although it is still impossible to completely control the direction of the Qi, deliberate guidance still has some effect.
Roger consciously gathered his energy back into his palms.
But he soon failed.
The gas disappeared.
"It seems that in the process of gaining luck, the Qi will be gradually depleted."
The basics of martial arts were taught to Roger.
The "Qi" in this world is not born in the so-called Dantian.
Instead, it occurs in certain fixed parts of the body.
The process of the creation of "Qi" from nothing to something in those parts.
In the martial arts system, it is called "opening the orifices".
The original "Qi" was born in the palm of your hand.
These are the first orifice and the second orifice.
Next is the soles of the feet and armpits.
This is three, four, five, six.
The seventh orifice is located in a mysterious position between the mouth and nose, and it is a very difficult place to open.
Among martial artists.
It is rare to find people who can open three or four orifices, and those who can open seven orifices are definitely masters of their generation.
"Qi" also exists in the Xiayin system.
But here, Qi plays more of a tool role.
For example.
After Roger comprehended Qi, some of Xiayin's expertise and skills were also enhanced.
…
"The presence of Qi has been detected. Your Tiyunzong level has been improved."
"You have learned the Tiyunzong (Master)"
"The Master has a derivative skill. Do you want to learn it?"
…
Roger took a look and chose OK without hesitation.
…
"You have learned a new skill: Double Jump"
"Double Jump: A derivative skill of Tiyunzong. While using Tiyunzong, you can use this skill to complete a jump without a leverage point. The jump height and distance depend on the skill points."
…
"Double jump!"
"Newton can rest in peace!"
It took Roger a long time to resist the urge to wander around the hotel.
After calming down.
He felt that this thing was not as powerful as he had imagined, but it was definitely an excellent skill and worth maxing out.
The double jump is excellent in two aspects.
First, take the enemy by surprise.
Normal people cannot imagine the existence of a double jump!
Especially in low-level battles, this skill has the potential to be the deciding factor in a battle.
Second, handsome.
This is very important.
After all, it's a lifelong thing.
…
Except for Tiyunzong.
A series of abilities including the Flower of Nineteen Moons, Cloud and Mist Steps, Superior Breathing Technique, Corpse Eater, and Nimble Feet were all slightly enhanced.
The effect of Qi is evident from this!
Take advantage of this excitement.
Roger took out the martial arts secret book of "Crushing Palm".
Then he solemnly allocated the remaining free points to "understanding".
…
"Your comprehension has increased to 14 points."
"You begin to comprehend the Crushing Palm"
…
"You have comprehended part of the secret of the Crushing Palm, your comprehension progress +18"
…
After 7 hours.
…
"You have successfully comprehended the full meaning of the Crushing Palm!"
"You have obtained the martial arts: Crushing Palm"
…
By the window at dawn.
Roger slowly opened the window and stood with his hands behind his back.
Slowly exhale a breath of foul air.
The dawn light pierced in lazily.
Suddenly, Roger had the illusion that he had achieved great success.
distance.
A dark shadow flew tiredly across the sky.
Roger gently stroked the gargoyle's head and said softly:
"Thanks for your hard work."
"No overtime today."
The gargoyle was so moved that he trembled all over and almost kowtowed on the spot.
The next second, Roger glanced at the record column.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"We only killed two Jonny Turtles yesterday. Why is the efficiency getting lower and lower?"
The gargoyle stretched out .
Roger discovered that this guy's claws had become a little blunt!
This is an elite gargoyle !
It seems that Jonny Stottle is indeed a brother who is not easy to get along with.
Roger waved his hand and let the gargoyle go back to the statue to rest.
I took a short rest.
After breakfast, he set out to visit Mr. Smith. (Note 1)
…
Senluo Farm is located in the southwest of Paramount Estate, next to a tributary of the Sierra River.
The area is open, the land is fertile and unpolluted.
There is also a forest farm in the north of the farm, with extremely rich forest resources.
Except for being a little remote, there are almost no other disadvantages.
At least that's what the farmer, Mr. Smith, said when he introduced him to Roger.
Just like any other farmer.
Smith himself was born an adventurer and possessed impressive combat capabilities.
A remote place like Senluo Farm .
It is inevitable that the patrol team in Shuguang Town will make mistakes occasionally.
This requires the farmer to deal with the monsters that accidentally break into the manor himself.
…
"I have killed two water ghosts, countless flying squirrels and tiger pigs, but I have never seen a monster like Jonny Stoler."
"They completely destroyed my resolve to protect the farm."
In the tea room.
Smith, with gray hair, shook his head:
"Maybe I'm old and shouldn't stay on this land any longer."
"It's my job to leave it to young people like you."
Roger couldn't help but glance at the eager-eyed children beside him.
He can describe "being in debt due to gambling and having to sell off all property" so elegantly and elegantly, he must be an old gambler.
Before coming, he had already investigated Mr. Smith's background.
This guy is really good at fighting.
But last year he became addicted to gambling, and gradually his expenses became more than his income and he was heavily in debt.
The appearance of Jonny Stottle was at best the straw that broke the camel's back.
Roger was extremely careful when dealing with such people.
Smith offered a very low price.
Only 4,000 copper tokens are needed, and the entire Senluo Farm will belong to Roger——
This included a land deed, three houses, a dozen shacks, two granaries, a wind mill, a craftsman's workshop, a dozen cultivated farmlands, and more uncultivated fertile land.
There's even a small lake for boating! (Note 2.)
Of course, Smith had already sold off the cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs on the farm.
The lettuce, onion and pumpkin crops in the fields also suffered severe harvest failures due to the infestation of Jonquiltorrhinum.
But this is still a very cheap number.
Faced with Smith who was eager to sell the farm, Roger did not give a clear answer.
The next day.
He went directly to visit the official in charge of land transfer and expressed his willingness to buy the farm and all the buildings on the farm for 4,000 copper remunerations.
Smith was clearly caught off guard.
Roger thought he would reveal his flaws at this time.
But what was unexpected was that Smith hesitated and still signed the formal contract.
As Roger's fingerprints were pressed on the contract document.
He and his farm began to be protected by Dawn Town.
Lord Alan would not allow the property and life of any of his farmers to be infringed upon by others.
When necessary.
Roger even has the authority to mobilize nearby patrols!
…
That day.
The Smith family moved directly to Dawn Town.
The tenant farmers had long since dispersed.
In the huge Senluo Farm, Roger was the only one left.
night.
A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen of the wooden house.
Roger scooped a spoonful of white soup from the pot and took a sip:
"Hmm~"
"Jonny Turtle tastes surprisingly good!"
Outside the window, the wind whispers.
It sounded like someone was sobbing.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~”
At the back door of the kitchen.
Suddenly there was an intermittent sound!
It felt like someone was scratching the door with fingernails.
Roger put down the spoon, somewhat dissatisfied.
…
(Note 1. After reading this chapter yesterday, I don’t know why it keeps saying “he set out on a journey to visit Mr. Ma Baoguo”. I feel like there’s something wrong with my thinking.)
(Note 2. Regarding the price of farms, I have consulted a lot of information, including but not limited to physical books such as "Chronicles of London and London Life in the 13th, 14th and 15th Centuries", "English Manor Life", "History of French Rural Areas", and a series of journal documents, but I still cannot give a satisfactory answer.
The main reason is that the prices in the magical world are really magical, and our background is an even more magical fantasy wasteland.
First of all, the prices in every place are different. It is ridiculous that everyone is willing to accept copper orders, silver corners and gold discs as currency. The ownership of the coinage right is a mystery.
Secondly, the price of the farm needs to take into account the land value, taxes, tenant farmers' income, etc.
I calculated for a long time, trying all kinds of equivalent substitution methods, but ended up confusing myself.
In the end I just gave up and made up a number, you guys just take a look at it.
This behavior wasted a whole day of my time. I won’t be too rigid about similar questions in the future. After all, this is a game novel—it’s reasonable!)
