Gong Er blurted out, and Grindelwald lowered his head in a very cryptic manner. Although he didn't want to become a dragon, he didn't think that becoming a dragon was a bad thing.
Whether in the East or the West, whether dragons are described as good or evil, one thing is the same. That is, dragons are powerful symbols in any mythology.
Lani looked at Grindelwald and then at Gong Er, and then set her sights on Yu Hongshi.
Gong Er looked confused and didn't understand what it meant, but Grindelwald's eyes were twitching wildly. He had enough experience to understand what Lani meant. Sometimes contempt in words and actions does not hurt, only complete disregard.
Even more maddening.
This was also the case when Grindelwald was the most vocal in the past. He did not use words to hurt people he disliked, but completely ignored them. This actually has the advantage that those with low self-esteem will not be hurt. As for self-esteem
Strong... As long as there is no psychological problem, people will not care too much. At most, they will be angry, because to put it bluntly, ignoring does not mean malice!
It's just... he has never been ignored by anyone. After all, we are also the strongest dark wizard in history. Even if the current Dark Lord compares to his peak, it is still unclear. As a result... he is ignored now?
Yu Hongshi didn't care about Lani's ignorance of the two people, because he knew what Lani was thinking. When he was a top student in school, he gave lectures to people, but when he heard others couldn't even memorize the basic formulas, it was the same.
I feel like I'm on a different level and I'm not from the same place.
"Being a dragon is certainly very powerful, but it also represents the end of this path, and...it's so ugly!"
"..."
Yu Hongshi rolled his eyes, thinking you could say something constructive, but this is the reason?
However, this topic aroused the interest of Grindelwald and Gong Er at the same time. The former waved his staff, and a shadow suddenly appeared in the air. A giant brown dragon roared crazily, and humans could only reach their ankles in front of it.
"Although it does not conform to human aesthetics, it is not ugly."
Gong Er refused to admit defeat, reached for the pencil and paper, and there was a burst of sketches, and the same giant dragon jumped out of the paper. Then he showed it to everyone with a proud face!
Yu Hongshi put his head around and almost burst into laughter, "I asked you to draw a dragon, not the Yamata-no-Orochi!"
Gong Er was disdainful, "Dragon is very common. You can see it everywhere. It's not cool at all."
Lani looked at the shadow in the sky and said, "It's normal."
Looking at Gong Er's paintings again, "It's a little off track, but it's quite distinctive."
The two people didn't understand, but Yu Hongshi was slightly shocked, "Did you go astray? So the Yamata no Orochi is also... a seeker?"
Lani looked at the sketch of Yamata no Orochi with great interest. The whole style of the painting was a bit close to Hong Kong comics, and it looked very scary. She didn't expect Gong Er to have such a skill.
"This is obviously a seeker who also practices the ancient Baixiang·Dragon, and the intensity of his cultivation is already very high. There is no problem of dragon transformation, but...it is obvious that the strength of the soul has been seriously affected by the rules, and there are
He had the problem of losing himself. So in order to fight against the erosion of rules, he developed symptoms of schizophrenia."
"Schizophrenia?" Yu Hongshi looked at the eight heads of the Yamata-no Orochi, "So schizophrenic that his body mutated? It turns out that the Yamata-no-Orochi was not born with eight heads, but was... sick?"
Lani nodded matter-of-factly, "Isn't this normal? Are there any creatures that are born with multiple heads? Even if there are, it's because their ancestors were sick and then passed on the symptoms through blood!"
Yu Hongshi opened his mouth and looked at Gong Er. The two former top students fell silent.
Just listen to Lani continue the popular science, "The rules are very corrosive to the body and spirit. The symptoms are that the body starts to mutate and approaches the dragon body, and the mental problem is manifested in gradually losing emotion and becoming a walking zombie-like existence.
Act by instinct. Some seekers have escaped physical alienation, but it is difficult to escape the influence of rules on the spirit. In order to resist this influence, they will use the technique of a substitute to delay time."
"What is the skill of a substitute?"
"It is to copy one's own mental fluctuations and memories, mislead the rules, and let them affect the copy. When the copy completely becomes a walking zombie without emotions, then create another copy and repeat the previous process."
Yu Hongshi understood what she meant almost instantly, "Active personality splitting, and then because the sub-personality is affected by the rules, it will not compete with you for control of the body, and it can avoid the rules. This method is not bad!"
Lani looked at Yu Hongshi, "The advantages you mentioned all exist, but this method is a trick after all, and it also has side effects. For example, the Yamata no Orochi you saw, his split personality has affected
When it reaches the body, it causes the body to mutate and become multi-headed.”
Yu Hongshi frowned and shuddered as he imagined that he also had several heads.
"The road to seeking the Tao is never an easy one. If you want to resist physical mutation, you must ensure your condition. If you are too seriously injured, the rules may take advantage of you. Although resisting mental mutation is not as violent as the physical one, it is
It's a long and torturous process. Sometimes you lose your feelings before you know it."
Yu Hongshi hurriedly asked: "What is the correct way to resist the rule-infected spirit?"
"Emotions!" Lani took a deep look at Yu Hongshi, "I don't know how it is in other places, but here I use emotions to resist the influence of rules. We will set ourselves a certain path while embarking on the road to becoming gods.
Next partner, lean on each other and support each other!"
Yu Hongshi was shocked, that's it!
After listening to Lani's explanation, he suddenly understood some of the reasons for the formation of the special rules of the Ring of Magic world.
Why is the world of the Ring of Law a configuration of one god and one king? It is to resist the influence of rules and prevent oneself from becoming a walking zombie.
Lani didn't know what Yu Hongshi was thinking. She picked up her wand again and drew it in the air, and she also created a phantom. In the phantom was a huge city, and in the middle of the city lay the body of a giant dragon. This
The entire corpse had turned into white stone, but its huge size shocked everyone in an instant.
It’s too big! If the dragon in Grindelwald’s Phantom is an ordinary Transformer, then the dragon in Lani’s Phantom is Gatanje!
"Are all your dragons that big?" Grindelwald stared, feeling that his outlook on life had been reshaped. No wonder they are so strong. Look at what kind of dragons they are facing. I am facing them here.
They are all... can only be said to be lizards!
Unlike Grindelwald, Yu Hongshi's surprise was not that the dragon was big enough, but that she was amazed at Lani's talent. She didn't know the magic of this world before, but now she learned it after watching Grindelwald cast it once?
"When you said turning into a dragon, did you mean turning into this behemoth?" Grindelwald swallowed. If he turned into such a powerful creature, then he could accept not being a human being.
Lani shook her head, her mischievous eyes flashed, "Humans have become this kind of dragon!"
As soon as the wand changed, there was another illusion, and I saw a huge black lizard crawling on the ground, roaring angrily.
Its head is very similar to that of a dragon but is more rounded. Its face is covered with overlapping black triangular scales. If you look closely, you can see that there are bat wings on its back, but its relatively bloated body is very small, like
It has not degenerated completely, and it is useless to keep it.
The most concerning thing is that it also holds a huge scimitar, and the surface of the scimitar is also filled with black stones, making it look ugly.
"Hiss, it's really ugly, I can't bear it!" Gong Er commented, and at the same time, he marked the entry 'Hundreds of Ancient Prime Ministers·Dragon' in his mind, not to mention that he has not embarked on this path, but that he will indeed take this path in the future.
But I can’t leave!
Yu Hongshi looked at the illusion above his head and suddenly discovered Hua Dian, "Are all your dragon-transformed people... all like this? Are there no other types?"
The angle of this question was a bit strange, but it made Lani stunned for a moment. She looked at the illusion she had made, "Indeed, all the people who turned into dragons became like this. As for why... maybe they practiced with me.
The method of this path may have something to do with it!”
If you want to say this, I won’t be tired!
Yu Hongshi suddenly became energetic. According to Slug, although he had already embarked on this path to become a seeker, he was actually still confused and had no idea how to take the next road. Now he heard another
The world actually has specific methods, how could this not excite him.
However, Yu Hongshi remained calm, "It seems that every village has its own clever tricks. Let's talk about what's special."
Lani looked at everyone, and Yu Hongshi looked unconcerned. Gong Er had no intention of taking this path at all. Grindelwald might be curious, but he couldn't reach the Ring of Magic world at all, and this news didn't seem to be that valuable.
Lani paused and continued: "There are two kinds of magic in our place. One is based on rules as the source, studying the essence and creating various magics derived from it. The other is based on certain gods as beliefs, through praying to
Praying to a specific god, and using God as a bridge to study the rules and develop magic, we call it prayer."
"What's the difference between magic and prayer?" Grindelwald was extremely curious.
Lani drew her wand in the air, and two illusions appeared in the air. On the left was a sky covered by a layer of clouds, and the sun's rays were quite soft through the clouds. On the right was a sunny day, with the sun shining directly into the eyes, which was a bit hot and dazzling.
"The sun is like rules. If you look directly at the rules, you will feel dazzling and hot. But if you use God as a bridge, you will not have this danger. But the side effect is that if God abandons you, you will not have to pray."
Yu Hongshi glanced at the two illusions in mid-air, "The one that transforms into a dragon, is it magic or prayer?" In fact, he knew that the thing in the Ring of Magic world was called Dragon Feast Prayer.
Sure enough, I heard Lani say, "In my place, this cultivation method is called Dragon Feast Prayer, but it is different from ordinary magic and prayer. Other prayers use a specific god as a barrier, and Dragon Feast Prayer
I pray that since the Dragon God is no longer here, practitioners have found another way. Devour!"
"How to say?"
"This is a way to use the abilities of other ancient and ancient beasts to follow the path of the dragon. By devouring the heart of the dragon, you can gain the power in the dragon's blood, and then perform prayers. The swallowing ability is possessed by almost all the ancient and ancient roads.
A regular ability, but the only one that can use Devouring to achieve special purposes is the Baixiang Swallowing Sky. I'm not sure if it's because of the conflict between the two paths, or for some reason. In short, in my case,
If you eat too many dragon hearts, there is a risk of transforming into a dragon!"
Yu Hongshi rolled his eyes cryptically, "Who asked you this? I was a maxed-out Bucket Player, and I still don't know how to learn the Dragon Feast Prayer?"
Yu Hongshi coughed slightly and asked casually, "Can you pray?"
"meeting."
"Then let's see how it works!"
Lani paused but did not take action, "I am too far away from my hometown. It is difficult to use it with bare hands. It requires the cooperation of the mark."
"What is a mark? Similar to a wand?" Grindelwald looked at the wand in his hand. Although it was selected by Ollivander, he was not satisfied.
Lani turned the wand in her hand like Yu Hongshi did, "Prayer is different from the way it is used in this world. The function of prayer is to help you better communicate with the individual gods of your faith, and then make it easier or even stronger to launch attacks. I
Because the mental power there is easier to escape from the body, we can directly lock it with the spirit, but it is difficult for the mental power here to directly escape the shackles of the body, so a magic wand is needed to help guide the magic and lock it."
Grindelwald suddenly didn't mind after hearing this. In fact, he had some doubts. These three people should not belong to the magical world, but where they came from was not yet clear. However, this so-called mark sounds like a magic wand.
There's no difference, so I don't care.
But how could Yu Hongshi let the topic end so easily?
"Marks may not be useless in this place. For example, some large-scale attack prayers or magic that do not need to be locked will be very powerful if they can have corresponding strengthening effects."
Lani looked at Yu Hongshi strangely. She was not stupid, how could she keep cueing the topic?
"You... want to learn how to make marks?"
Yu Hongshi looked like he was dispensable, and brought out the actor's acting skills to the extreme, "Oh, last time your brother died, he killed Otaubis, and he learned the Tail of the Hundred Phases of the Furnace, and I don't know how powerful it is.
Sample."
Lani suddenly realized but didn't seem surprised, "The Hundred Signs of the Furnace is actually a kind of prayer that imitates the Hundred Signs of the Ancient World. It is a very common and basic prayer. The first person to create the melting pot prayer was the Furnace of Life, which is a kind of prayer.
Something similar to the will of the planet, it imitates all life, and finally starts to take the path of the ancient Baixiang tree from many choices. It's a pity... In short, the furnace prayer is suitable for almost all the ancient Baixiang roads. After all, who doesn't have a tail?
!”
Yu Hongshi looked like he had learned a lesson. This information was not something that could be known in the game. "Then what method do you know about how to make a mark?"
"The key to a mark is to be able to communicate with the God you want to believe in, but in fact the mark itself is separate from belief."
"Huh? What does this mean?"
"The meaning is that the imprint is actually the embodiment of a rule transformed into a graphic, that is, a special pattern is used to represent the rule. When you activate the imprint, it is equivalent to facing the rules directly! And faith is your own spiritual sustenance, only you
Only when you truly believe in a certain god and use a mark, that god will help you cover the harm caused by the rules. Because of this, different prayers can actually be used for different marks, because the abilities depicted on the marks are often very different.
Universal. For example, take the lightning ability. Prayers of many faiths have similar abilities, but only if you use the prayer represented by the god you believe in, the power will be strengthened."
Yu Hongshi understood what she meant, "It's just that I don't have a god to believe in. It doesn't matter. Didn't you say that the Tail of the Hundred Phases of the Furnace is a very general prayer, and there is no need to believe in anyone."
Seeing that he persisted, Lani did not stop, and continued: "Okay, you don't mind. However, making a mark also requires special materials. Take the Dragon Feast Prayer as an example. Making a Dragon Feast mark requires dragon blood. Making other
The imprint also requires corresponding materials. We don’t have those materials here, and I don’t know if other materials can replace them.”
"You can buy dragon blood on the black market. Of course, I'm not sure whether the dragons here are any different from those there." Grindelwald interjected.
Gong Er turned his head in surprise, "Dragon blood is not prohibited from being bought and sold...well, it seems to be the same everywhere."
Yu Hongshi raised his eyebrows and stood up again, "Gong Er, be honest and look after the house. Let's go to the black market. Lani, too. You can tell me directly there whether the dragon's blood is useful. Don't waste money."
Gong Er was a little eager to give it a try, but he had no intention of forcing himself to watch the fun. Grindelwald was very excited. He hadn't been to the black market for a long time after he was released from prison. He didn't know if it would change in a few decades.
Yu Hongshi looked at his virtue and couldn't help but remind him: "Have you read the newspaper this morning?"
Grindelwald looked at him puzzled, "I ordered a newspaper, and a special owl will deliver it every day. Today... I didn't read it!"
"You are wanted. The newspapers say you killed dozens of Aurors out of your mind."
"It was obviously you who killed me!"
"Haha!" Yu Hongshi stretched out his hand and put on his cloak, "I won't take the blame for this. I control my attacks perfectly. Unless there are enemies who want to use the killing curse on me, I will keep the rest of the Aurors safe.
, I managed to kill more than a dozen of them."
Grindelwald snorted in amusement, "It seems that the Daily Prophet has also started talking nonsense." After saying that, he took the cloak handed over by Yu Hongshi. It is better to do less than to do more. Now is not the time for him to show his face.
The three of them wrapped themselves tightly and went out at night. In fact, the so-called black market was in Knockturn Alley, not far from Diagon Alley, and they had to pass through a gloomy alleyway.
Grindelwald seemed very nostalgic, but Yu Hongshi and Lani felt very dirty. The stone walls on both sides rolled sideways, and dust inevitably fell from the friction, which was very annoying.
After entering Knockturn Alley, you can feel a dark negative energy, which makes Lani and Yu Hongshi, who are sensitive to the power of the soul, very uncomfortable. "Humph, the disadvantages of black magic are quite big."
In this world, using too much black magic will affect the mind. According to Lani's logic, it is the influence of rules on people's spirits. The more black magic is used, the more cold-blooded it will be, and people will treat human life as if it is nothing. As for White
Magic or some special effects, the difference is probably due to the different roads designed.
In short, the exploration of rules will never end, and Lani is quite interested in this now.
"It's been decades and it still hasn't changed. Humph, you're a wizard who doesn't know how to make progress!"
Grindelwald was inspired. He could also read newspapers in prison. Muggles had already landed on the moon, but wizards couldn't even solve the moon's influence on werewolves.
Yu Hongshi was too lazy to talk to him. He walked forward slowly and looked around. Knockturn Alley was indeed a black market. Most of the items sold there were black magic materials, such as withering human heads, huge spiders, and severed hands that could still move.
, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Grindelwald led them into a very simple-looking store with ease. There were two gatekeepers in dirty robes at the door, making them look like bartenders.
"This is a member..." The two gatekeepers saw Grindelwald approaching and were about to stop him, but were stunned by Grindelwald's look.
Seeing this, Yu Hongshi quickly pulled down his cloak and put on Zemol's pure love mask. Lani followed suit.
"It seems that your majesty is still there. You can get in just by brushing your face."
Yu Hongshi's teasing did not make Grindelwald feel good. Instead, he let out a long sigh and said, "A new generation has replaced the old ones. The fact that they know me means that the Ministry of Magic has come here to look for me. Haha, it seems that the owner of this place is no longer the same one."
That's all, otherwise they wouldn't care about the Ministry of Magic."
"Oh? Are you still afraid of the Ministry of Magic?"
"I'm not afraid, I just feel annoyed being chased by them all the time. After all, I have found something interesting."
Yu Hongshi sneered, "Let me guess, what is the interesting thing, um, that boy?"
Grindelwald smiled but did not deny it. Instead, he began to introduce, "A stretching spell is used here. It is very big like a palace. At the same time, this is a membership system. Only pure-blood wizards with family backgrounds are eligible to enter, or
If you have the recommendation of a pure-blood wizard, it is possible to enter here. Here you can buy almost any item you can think of, but the price you need to pay will also be very high, and here it is only guaranteed that there will be no fighting inside, otherwise
After the palace, life and death are determined!"
"Yes, it's fair!" Yu Hongshi's voice was indifferent, and the murderous aura in his body began to bloom without restraint. This is a very mysterious temperament, far beyond what can be compared with using the killing curse to emit green light to kill people.
The reason for doing this is very simple, it is to solve some unnecessary troubles, such as a few down-and-out nobles who want to trick people, or a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor with a face on the back of his head.
I’m basically sure it’s not the same strain as my father’s, but mine seems to be more poisonous. He has a problem with his sense of smell, but I’m fine.
