Chapter 021 Mage's Hand Lv5, Three Types of Companion Insects
Lighthouse Town is located on the southwest border of the Kingdom of Nobia. It was originally an abandoned land and belonged to the earldom of Elgin. Later, during the third war with the invaders of the Kingdom of Sussex, it was annexed by the kingdom to Haldeman. Ancestor of the Baron.
Because it's close to the sea.
The catch was plentiful.
With the efforts of several generations of Hodeman, the salted fish industry was exported to various places by sea and gradually developed into a large town with a population of nearly 5,000 people.
It is located in a remote place and is always threatened by the Kingdom of Sykes, which believes in the god of war. Therefore, the power of the church is not strong, especially after the last priest died for no reason.
The church had been abandoned for two years.
Gawain silently recalled the news he had found out in the tavern, and walked out of Antler Town. The skeleton who had been waiting outside the town walked out of the woods and took the suitcase and package naturally.
Gawain stopped, looked up at the sky, and found that there was no shadow of the crow in the sky just because he was not paying attention.
"Number seven!"
"Number seven!"
"Number seven!"
Gawain shouted several times, but there was no response.
"Running to play again!"
Gawain sighed. Creatures like crows are relatively smart. After becoming an extraordinary crow, their IQ is almost equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child. It is the time when they are most naughty and mischievous.
The connection between the two parties comes from two aspects.
The first is the sense of intimacy formed during the training process. He is equivalent to the reborn parent of Crow No. 7. As long as he does not abuse the other party, there is almost no possibility of defecting; the second is the powerful [Summon Crow], between the summoner and the summoned. A mysterious link formed.
As long as it is not too far away, when Gawain uses [Summon Crow], Crow No. 7 can sense it through the link and fly back to him.
Of course, the relationship between the two parties is not actually a master-servant relationship. Unless a pet contract scroll is signed, no forced orders can be made, and vision cannot be shared.
As for combat, this requires slowly developing a tacit understanding between each other.
"Come back."
Gawain took a deep breath and began to use [Crow Summoning]. As the mysterious fluctuations spread around, a black shadow appeared in the distant sky, shooting like a sharp arrow.
When it reached the top of Gawain's head, it stopped its momentum, slowly landed on the skeleton's shoulder, and called out "croak" twice at Gawain, as if it was telling something.
"Don't run too far in the future, or you won't have anything to eat."
"Be obedient!"
"Remember, this won't happen again."
Gawain scolded the other party, took out a piece of meat pie from the package, broke it into pieces and fed it to Crow No. 7, and then hurried along the business road to Beacon Town in the southwest.
After walking for half a day, he was preparing to eat something when suddenly there was a sound coming from the woods nearby.
"There's an ambush!"
Gao Wenwen was a master of archery. When he heard the sound, he knew it was the sound of arrows. He quickly backed away, while the skeleton took a few steps forward to protect him behind him.
More than a dozen arrows were shot sparsely, and three of them hit the skull, all of them hanging on the clothes.
Gawain behind him was unscathed.
“Qua~~”
Before Gawain could fight back, Crow Seven, who was napping on the skeleton's shoulder, was awakened. It screamed angrily, spread its wings and flew towards the woods, followed by a scream.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Ah, my eyes, shoot it, kill it!"
"It's a monster, run!"
"Why is there a monster? I'll lure it away. John, you quickly take people to kill those two pedestrians!"
Soon, a fat man wearing leather armor rushed out of the woods, carrying a big ax and leading two men towards Gawain, screaming strangely as he ran:
"Kill them, the bitch golden dragon has them all, kill them!"
"robber?"
Gawain raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
The skeleton in front of him stepped forward under his command and directly stopped the three of them. The two sides fought for a while, and the fat man became more and more frightened. He resisted the skeleton's playful attack and roared:
"There's something weird, Randy, go kill the kid behind you."
"Fat brother, be careful!"
The short and thin Randy immediately jumped out of the battle group, held a sword flower in his arm, and rushed towards Gawain with a one-handed sword. He said with a cruel smile: "Unknown person, the one who kills you is 'Quick Sword' Randy!"
Gawain looked calm. When Randy rushed to the front five meters, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, grabbed the other person's neck, lifted the person into the air out of thin air, and before the other person could react, he slapped the person hard again. on the ground.
"Uh...uh..."
Randy's butt fell to the ground, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and there was severe pain in his internal organs. He opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but he could only moan in pain, and then blood from the ruptured internal organs flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes gradually gradually Scattered.
Gawain stepped forward, picked up the one-handed sword that fell on the ground, chopped off Randy's head with one sword, nodded and said:
"The sword is good, but...it's mine now."
"The God of Storms is above!"
The two people behind them screamed, abandoned their skeletons and turned around to run away.
Gawain stuck his one-handed sword on the ground, and the short bow on his back automatically flew into his hand. He casually set up two arrows. With two very short separation sounds, the arrows hit the backs of the two of them one after another.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Frightened screams rang out in the woods and people quickly fled.
"return!"
Seeing that the skeleton was about to rush towards the woods, Gawain quickly stopped the skeleton, and then rummaged through the three corpses, but only found dozens of bronze stars.
"top up!"
Gawain turned the copper star into krypton gold dots and waited for the return of Crow Seven.
[Physique]: 1.1
【Spirit】:1.8
[Magic]: 15/17
[Juggernaut]: Mage's Hand lv5 (Powerful!)
[Krypton Gold Points]: 4442.19
A month later, the data changed drastically, and [Krypton Gold Points] increased instead of decreasing.
In fact, it was because Gawain secretly sold the pearls he got. The dozen large pearls were worth a lot of money, and he sold them for more than 3,000 silver deer, all of which turned into krypton gold points.
And the gems in his hand were even more valuable.
However.
Gems are actually a precious spellcasting material, so under the premise that [Krypton Gold Points] are not tight, he did not choose to sell them, but kept them for his own use.
In addition, Gawain is now engraving the fourth will rune, and his mental power has reached 1.8. When the fourth will rune is completed, his mental power will definitely exceed 2.
With a little more effort, he can become a medium-level wizard apprentice, and his magic power has reached 17, which is only 1 unit away from the maximum limit of ten times mental power.
The most important thing is the trick [Mage's Hand].
This trick could only lift 5 kg at most, and the distance was no more than 3 meters. After being upgraded to level 5 by Gawain, [Strong] was added. The original rune has been optimized, the distance has increased to 5 meters, and the weight has increased to 85 kg, which is enough to easily lift an adult man.
In this way, this originally inconspicuous trick has attack power.
Although it is not as good as a knight with a strong physique, it is easy to deal with ordinary people. Moreover, it can play a greater role in daily life and experiments, and even in battles.
After waiting for a long time, Crow No. 7 did not return. Gawain did not rush to summon it. He opened the suitcase and took out a black-covered notebook and flipped through it silently.
This book is the "Curse Notes" that Gawain got from the Black Tower. It is full of vicious curse witchcraft, such as:
[Blood Relatives wither]
[Turning into a Toad]
[Ghost Possession]
The power of these curse witchcraft is indeed not small, but without exception, each witchcraft requires a demanding medium when it is cast. If it is only so, Gawain may still be able to learn.
But the most important thing is.
After the death of the mysterious god, every time the curse witchcraft is cast, the caster will pay a small but profound price, such as:
Aging, sores, hair loss, moss, itching, vomiting, etc.
These costs are not great.
But it will always haunt you like a vengeful spirit, unable to get rid of it, unable to recover, making you disgusted and hateful.
As for why this is the case, Gawain has only heard of it, but does not understand the reason. He guesses that it should be related to the mysterious curse solidified by the [Void Spirit].
So, Gawain tries not to touch it.
However, there is also knowledge in this curse notebook that interests him very much, a skill called [Companion Insect]. This skill is very rare and is used to prevent curses.
As long as you cultivate your own companion insect, you can gain the ability of the companion insect. When someone curses you, the companion insect will take your place.
Even if it is a curse that is fatal, you will only lose a companion insect.
"You can have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. I have to cultivate my own companion insect as soon as possible."
Gawain muttered, a little expectantly. There are a total of three companion insect cultivation techniques recorded in the curse notebook. After successful cultivation, they are called:
Moth, Midge, Snail!
