Ding Kui stood still and looked at Ding Zhong with questioning eyes.
"Tao Mu is back. He took a merchant ship from Meng and arrived at the new dock around noon." Ding Zhong came to report to Ding Kui in person.
"Well, very good. You go and pick him up. Now that he's back, there's no need to worry. Let him relax first and tell me tomorrow if you need anything. I'm going out to practice. If there's anything important, I'll go ask Ao
Miss Yan, please contact me."
What Ding Kui is most concerned about now is the breakthrough in magic cultivation. According to the normal progress, as long as it does not exceed ten days, he may break through to a new level. He has put aside all the affairs of Giant Sheep City.
, I don’t want to delay my magic practice because of this.
There is a lot of news about the tower-opening magician breaking through to the forbidden magician. There is a legendary knight living in his family, and there is also a tower-opening magician in the city. He must find a place far away from the Giant Sheep City, otherwise his biggest secret will be discovered.
"I have cultivated so much magic power without knowing it. Normally, the twelve meridians in my body cannot store it." Ding Kui had an intuitive understanding of his own magic power when he liquefied the magic power.
The tower-opening magician can cast multiple fourth-level magics, and the latter one can even cast a simpler forbidden magic, which has strong combat effectiveness. However, Ding Kui found that he could cast two forbidden magics, and there was still a little magic left, almost as much as Huan Qiao's.
twice of.
On the third day after killing the Green-Belly Evil Spider King, Ding Kui learned a forbidden magic with great pains, the Flame Demon Claw.
The Flame Demon Claw is a fifth-level fire magic. The magic power is transformed into a hand of the Flame Demon Emperor to attack a single target locked by spiritual power. It is advanced from the Flame Claw. It can be regarded as the simplest single-target forbidden fire spell.
Taishu Gong had a lot of experience in this magic, and it was the first forbidden spell that Ding Kui could see clearly in his magic notebook. After feeling the threat of level six monsters, he spent two nights thinking about it before he reluctantly learned it.
The key to this magic is to control the claws and use simple moves, which requires the magician to know some boxing and kicking skills. Because Ice Roar has low-level fighting instincts and does not require the magician to know fighting skills, it is more powerful than the Flame Demon Claw.
The fist and kick techniques are not difficult for Ding Kui, and his mental power is strong enough. The use of the Flame Demon Claw comes with a plug-in, which reduces a lot of learning difficulties. Otherwise, he still would not be able to draw the Flame Demon Claw's magic circle.
He did not give up his fighting spirit because of practicing magic. He first practiced the authentic "Transforming Qi into Dragon Technique" for a while, then practiced the magic book, and then liquefied the magic power. Everything went according to plan.
"It seems that how much magic power is liquefied is related to mental power. Today, the conversion is about one-tenth. In another eight days, all the magic power will be liquefied." Ding Kui, who once again almost exhausted his mental power, returned to the city lord's palace.
Tao Mu's experience was not beyond Ding Kui's expectation. He simply sneaked into Meng State under the arrangement of Cao Guotang's secret agent, and then contacted Meng Guotang's secret agent.
Meng Guotang's people saw that Cao Guo's colleagues had sent a fifth-level combatant. In the spirit of not using it in vain, they arranged for Tao Mu to assist in several missions. Later, after receiving orders from the headquarters, they reluctantly sent Tao Mu away.
Send back home.
"That's right, it's not in vain. At least you are familiar with the secret lines of the Intelligence Department on the Cao-Meng border. It will definitely come in handy in the future." Ding Kui encouraged Tao Mu with warm words.
"Sir, I applied to go to Cao State again. This time I have to establish an intelligence network. If I can't complete the task, I will have no shame in coming back to see you." Tao Mu felt frustrated. In fact, nothing was accomplished when he came back this time.
"Don't worry, Cao Guo will have to go sooner or later, but now the war is in chaos, and it is very difficult to build an intelligence network. Let's wait until the war is over. You have been out for a while, so you'd better stay at home, or go back to Funiu Mountain
You can also bring your wife and children over."
Ding Kui knew what impact the war would have on the local area, so asking Tao Mu to go to Cao State now would not be of much use.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. Since you are fully committed to developing here, I really should bring my wife and Quanzi over."
Tao Mu's wife in the village, Mrs. Liu, gave birth to a son for him, and now they are still in Funiu Village.
Shaodian Luan was playing with a "Golden Bamboo Crossbow". Because the main material was golden coral bamboo, Ding Kui carried forward his usual naming style and named this standard crossbow the Golden Bamboo Crossbow.
It took a lot of effort for her to wind the string, and she gestured not knowing where to shoot.
"Madam, shoot at this old slave." Ding Kun stepped back ten steps. If he got too close, he would feel a bit threatened.
Phew, Shaodian Luan was startled when the crossbow arrow went offline.
"The power is not small, but it's a bit difficult to wind up. Can an ordinary soldier pull it open?" Her strength is much worse than Ding Kui's, and even with the help of a pull rod, it is a bit difficult.
"Madam, the Golden Bamboo Crossbow is not for ordinary soldiers. Vice Commander Zhong will specially train a new unit, which the Lord calls crossbowmen. In order to keep it secret, the crossbowmen must be isolated from the outside world during training," Lao Qiantou introduced.
.
"With such high requirements for use, can a regular army division assemble a large group of crossbowmen?" Shao Dianluan had some military knowledge.
"The situation is different. You also know the situation of Dou Xiaoqi. The crossbowmen do not have high requirements for martial arts, but they just need to be stronger. In this regard, my lord came up with the Ding family's body training secret, which can perfectly solve this problem. The regular army can
They can't learn it, they don't have the conditions." Old Qiantou deliberately emphasized the secret of body training.
Ding Kun came to Lao Qiantou with a crossbow between his fingers and said meaningfully: "No one else can learn from the Ding family's private army. The suicide brigade led by Lao Nu back then had no rival in the Eighth Army.
That's the old man's private army."
Ding Kui deliberately avoided practicing and asked two old men to instill in Shao Dian Luan the concept that the secrets of the private army should not be leaked, fearing that Shao Dian Luan would report it to the king on a whim.
"I understand, my husband wants to build a unique private army, so he should be careful in everything." Shao Diangluan knew it well, but he didn't blame Ding Kui. All the other clans did this.
The last ray of magic power was sucked into the top of the head by Xiao Ding Kui. After a few breaths, it turned into water droplets and flew out of the lotus leaf tips. A large pond appeared under the lotus platform. It looked blue-black under normal conditions, but cyan when viewed through the eye of insight.
Strangely enough, when the pond expands to a certain extent, the new magic power absorbed by Baihui Point will naturally dissipate, which means that Xiao Dingkui can no longer liquefy magic power, and the magic power that can be stored in the sea of consciousness has temporarily come to an end.
Ding Kui knew in his heart that this meant that his magic power had reached a bottleneck. As long as he broke this bottleneck, he could be promoted to the sixth level of combat power and become a forbidden magician.
