Chapter 61 The Uninvited Guest from the Rainy Night
The heavy downpour beat on the tarpaulin, making a dense sound like pouring beans in the darkness.
The roof on the back of the beast of burden has an ingenious design. Luo Yu tied a roll of canvas and placed it there. When it was sunny, he rolled it up and when it rained, he opened it to form a simple canopy on the platform.
A rosin torch was fixed on the railing with a bracket. The light of the fire swayed in the rain, reflecting a vast curtain of water between heaven and earth, as well as several people's faces soaked with rain.
The rhombus-shaped metal object in the distance drew a standard arc in the rain and flew back. Luo Yu put down the mechanical control glove on his right hand, the silver rail clicked back into place, and the clockwork fairy fell down and was caught by Fang Plover.
catch.
"Is it done?" Luo Yu asked nervously.
Fang Plover nodded.
The tall boy breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Pliance looked at him and couldn't help but be a little curious. "Why do you want to become a combat craftsman so much?"
Luo Yu's talent in combat craftsmanship can only be said to be mediocre, far inferior to his talent in elemental mastering. Even with the full power of the fairy lady, he can barely make the clockwork fairy fly.
"I just like it." But Luo Yu shook his head and did not answer the question directly.
Seeing this, Fang Yu no longer asked about Yiluo Yu's talent. After he returned to the Oak Knights of Tapolis, it was almost impossible for him to continue on the path of an alchemist. Maybe he could train in
Realizing your dreams during your lifetime is also a kind of alternative self-comfort.
But at least he's flying, which is a good sign. It hasn't been too long since he started learning to control flexible structures.
On the other side of the platform, a little French girl was carrying a Kingfisher xa-type magic furnace on her back with the help of Siesta. This universal amateur magic furnace had no spare parts found at the bottom of the storage box.
I thought it would come in handy at this time.
Tian Lan was still chatting with the maid lady. "Sister Siesta, your pair of gauntlets are so beautiful."
The maid glanced at her and retracted her hand without any trace.
"Ah?" Tian Lan noticed this detail. "Sister Siesta, don't you like these gloves?"
The maid didn't say anything. After helping her fix the magic furnace, she grabbed her collar with her right hand and lifted it up. The cold metal at her fingertips touched the back of her neck. Tian Lan twisted around and giggled: "Oh, it's so cold.
, I won’t say it anymore, I won’t say it anymore, sister Shesta, please forgive me.”
Inside the room, Sylvide put a wet towel on Jita's forehead, turned around, and looked at this scene with some interest.
There was a lot of fuss over there, and Tian Lan finally finished her magic furnace. No matter how careless the little girl was, she was at least a trainee of the Grand Guild. She had naturally learned how to use the magic furnace systematically, and she opened it with her backhand.
The throttle valve and the indicator crystal of the magic furnace lit up one after another.
"Really!?" Tianlan watched this scene and couldn't help but feel surprised: "I can really feel that the magic furnace is connected to mine. The output power of the crystal is actually 370m. Is this really attributeless magic? It's true.
!I was not harmed by magic feedback!"
She hurriedly checked the system indicators and couldn't help but feel a little fussy. "Oh my god, Brother Ed, how did you do that?"
"Can I link the resonance crystal of Karn's Piano?"
"It seems ok!" Every magic weapon has a resonance crystal corresponding to its main crystal, and the Karn's Gift made by Fang Plover is no exception. Tianlan picked up the crystal and inserted it into the main interface of the magic furnace.
, the crystal on the twelve-stringed harp flickered slightly, and then emitted a glowing light.
When Fang Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and secretly clenched his fist. His plan really worked.
In the world after the Star Gate, the trainee's system is a specially degraded virtual system. Since it has no glow material support, it has three main limitations. First, those who synchronize with it do not have magic adaptability; second,
It is not possible to learn and record the skills of combat professions; third, the level is limited to below level five.
But after careful consideration, Fang Yu realized that except for the last one, these restrictions were not insurmountable.
Not having magical adaptability is the simplest problem for him because he actually doesn't have it. In the past, it can be said that there were no such powerful non-attribute crystals, but for A crystals, it is basically not a problem.
The AX type magic furnace used by Tianlan only has an output power of 370m. This is only due to the structural limitations of the low-level magic furnace itself. In fact, the maximum output power of the A crystal can reach 790m, exceeding all magic furnaces below level five.
design threshold.
This standard is not only completely acceptable for trainees who are only at Level 5, but is even exceeded.
The second point of not being able to learn and record the skills of the combat profession does not seem to be a big problem. Tianlan's professional bard is a half-life and half-combat profession. The combat profession consists of offensive sound magic, but the auxiliary part is actually
A life profession, even if she only uses half of her abilities, it would be much better than now when she can only be a spectator during battles.
On Luo Yu's side, Fang Plover fulfilled his wish and tried to train this tall man to become a combat craftsman. Although the combat craftsman was named combat, he actually came from the same school as the alchemist. If he did not learn combat skills, that is,
A life profession.
It is true that combat craftsmen will learn some combat skills to a greater or lesser extent, but in layman's terms, they can completely give up on 'skills' and only pursue 'normal attacks'.
What skills can a fifth-level character have? They are nothing more than 'strength enhancement' and 'agility burst', which are useful for melee structures such as walkers and fearless ones.
But the combat idea designed by Fang Yu for Luo Yu is to transform the clockwork fairy into something similar to the Annihilator's shining force field, turning it into a floating shield. This shield does not require any skills, as long as it has
It can be controlled with the knowledge of ether and magic. As long as Luo Yu can control one side skillfully, he can protect Tian Lan, Jita and even shooters like Parker behind him well.
Even if he can control more than two sides, before the crystal overheats or the magic power is exhausted, he can be regarded as an excellent protector in the team under level five. And this is really not an impossible task. He alone
It may be a little difficult to achieve multiple controls by yourself, but don't forget that there is also a powerful "Fairy Envoy" here.
But this may not be a good thing for Luo Yu.
"The goblin ability is of no benefit to the combat craftsman's mastery of flexible construction, and may even be harmful to it," Fang Yu reminded him. "That's why I asked you to use old-fashioned control gloves to control the clockwork goblin. This trick is also in
The craftsmen who worked on Kapka taught me that in fact, for the control of flexible structures, weight-bearing training is very necessary."
"But you don't have to worry too much. After all, this elf's ability will be used in battle. If you do some coordination training in peacetime, you still have to master the practice by yourself, and the impact will not be too big."
Luo Yu nodded after hearing this: "I understand."
Fang Yu also nodded. One of his plans is to use the special ability of the A crystal to give Tianlan, Luo Yu and Ji Ta the ability to be close to the ones who were chosen. This is a shortcut and the fastest effective, but after all, it is
It is a stopgap measure, and in the long run it is impossible for the three of them to go down this road.
Not to mention, the level limit of the trainee system is an insurmountable obstacle.
Therefore, he still had to remind the three of them to prevent them from relying too much on this system. The real development direction of the three of them in the future must ultimately be the trainee assessment, with the goal of becoming real selectees.
The two were silent for a moment.
Luo Yu suddenly asked: "Ed, I heard that when the goblin user is controlling the goblin constructs, he can no longer distract himself from controlling the flexible constructs. If you use goblins to assist us, won't you be more inefficient than fighting by yourself?
"
"Normally speaking, that's the case, but I may be a bit special, so you don't have to worry about that." Having said this, he couldn't help but look down at the doll girl in his hand.
It happened that Miss Goblin was also raising her head. Under her long hair woven with mithril silk, a pair of emerald-like eyes were looking at him motionlessly. Fang Yu raised his hand and straightened out the mess on her forehead.
hair.
"Thank you, Mr. Knight."
Miss Tata stretched out her little hand to hold his finger and said in her heart.
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and realized that he was not just special. In fact, he might be the only owner of the Fairy Dragon Knight in Aitaria.
But some things don't need to be said so clearly.
He still remembered that day at the hotel, after everyone left, he asked Sylvester why she took the initiative to help him hide the dragon soul. He didn't want to hide it from Miss Attila and the others. In his opinion, Tianlan, Luo
Yu and Red are partners who can keep secrets, and a team should fully trust each other.
"What about Mr. Parker?" Sylvide blinked her beautiful eyes and asked him in a nice voice.
"Parker...isn't bad at all."
"This has nothing to do with whether the nature is bad or not. You should understand this, Mr. Ed. The reason why secrets are called secrets is often because sometimes there are complex interests involved behind them, and sometimes they are accidental mistakes.
It could lead to disaster, but if you hadn't told Mr. Parker, he wouldn't have considered the risk."
"When people share secrets, they are actually sharing risks. For leaders, sometimes keeping secrets in your heart is also a responsibility, and when you think you can disclose it, you
You must clearly realize that you already have enough abilities."
She looked at him, smiled slightly and said: "As for when is the most appropriate time, I believe that an outstanding person like Mr. Ed should know better than me, and there is no need for Sylvester to have to talk."
These words changed his view.
The secrets within the elven ruins even led to a protracted war between the two behemoths, the Rainbow Alliance and the Descendants of Flor, that spread throughout Long Summer. In this war, whether it was Silver Shadow,
Jeflett Redcoat, Miya, he is still the star of the dawn, he is nothing more than a pawn involved in it.
To this day, he is not even sure whether the Hailin Crown is the answer to this mystery, and according to his knowledge in the community, the Jefflite Red Team may still be searching for him, Miya, and others.
The whereabouts of Dawnstar survivors.
Such a secret is indeed of great importance, and it seems a bit irresponsible for him to tell it rashly.
In fact, ever since he became the captain, even if it was only in name, Fang Plover began to think more and more about issues from the perspective of Miss Scarpet, and reflected on whether the decisions he had made as a matter of course were all right.
And whether it will bring unnecessary danger to those around you
He looked up.
Not far away, Tianlan was still debugging Kahn's Gift, making one or two harsh noises from time to time, which attracted Parker from the opposite room to come out to protest more than once, asking her not to make so much noise at night and affect Papparal.
Man's sacred right to rest.
But the little French girl didn't care about that. It was raining heavily, and there was lightning and thunder over the forest. The sound of her piano was far less loud than the sound of the rain, not to mention the thunder, so it was impossible to have any impact.
After arguing for a while, she simply left the Papalar people aside and ran over to Fang Plover excitedly. "Brother Ed, I've finished adjusting it. How about I play a song for you."
"OK."
"Not good." Fang Yu and Luo Yu replied at the same time.
Luo Yu had a strange look on his face and opened his mouth to say something, but it was already too late. Tian Lan screamed with excitement: "Great, I haven't played the twelve-stringed piano for a long time. I practiced it often when I was in the trainee camp.
Woolen cloth."
Fang Lu absolutely believed this.
The trainees of the Grand Guild are different from those who were recruited from grass-roots teams. They are either from the youth camp or youth training camp of the club, or they are selected from the virtual league. They have already shown outstanding performance before becoming trainees.
It shows the talent potential in a certain area, so it is generally targeted training.
For example, Jita is a naturalist. Even before she became a naturalist, she already had a magic book. Although it was not prepared for her alone, how can ordinary selectors have this condition? Luo Yu is an elementalist. Although he
I prefer the combat craftsman, but it turns out that his talent as an alchemist can only be said to be average.
As for Tianlan, she has long said that her future goal is to be a bard, so even though she can only choose a career as a trainee now, she has more or less learned or understood some of the abilities of a bard.
For example, playing ability.
Eden's Apple, one of the hymns of Elpua, has the ability to calm people's minds and retrieve lost experience, knowledge and memory from the lost past. This is the most basic non-combat oriented song of the bard.
, one of the favorites of new poets. Its practical effect allows people to slowly trace back the cognitive experience gained within twenty-four hours. Each song takes one taria scale (almost four minutes) to make people
Gain additional experience equal to 1% of the total experience gained within a day, up to a maximum of 1/15.
What's more, even if you don't have this ability, being able to listen to melodious music for a short while by the campfire every day will definitely improve the morale of the team, so bards are a popular profession everywhere.
"stop stop stop"
However, Tian Lan had only played for a few seconds when Fang Pliong interrupted the little French girl with a change of expression.
"Okay, okay," he said while wiping his sweat, "It's just a test, no need to play anymore."
"Ah, why?" Tian Lan held the twelve-stringed harp and was very puzzled. "Brother Ed, what you see and hear in Aitalia is experience and knowledge. Everyone will increase their knowledge more or less every day.
Experience, I just have the opportunity now, how much is it a little extra experience?"
"As for why..." Fang Plover's face turned green.
Only now did he understand why Luo Yu objected before.
Of course, Sky Blue's playing skills on the twelve-stringed harp were not low, and the tunes she played could even be said to be sweet and intoxicating. But the bad thing was that as soon as the music ended, she started singing the poem of Eden.
Barren accent is a euphemism, but it is actually tone-deaf.
The Poem of Eden is a long poem praising the forest goddess, the young lady Aimea. Iden is the pseudonym she used in the mortal world, and the original poem tells a beautiful and well-intentioned love story.
But Tianlan was out of tune from the first word, and what finally unfolded in front of Fang Plover was this picture: a dark forest, a gloomy castle, an ugly witch, poisonous apples, conspiracies, and intrigues.
It was just the first game that almost made his and Luo Yu's hair stand on end. As for the extra experience, forget it, don't want it. It's not worth losing your life for a little experience.
Both of them were pale and sweating profusely, and they were stammering and didn't know how to divert Tian Lan's attention. A savior came from the other side of the saddle bridge. Aitila, who was on duty at night, appeared there and shouted to them in the rain.
made a sound:
"Someone's coming, Ed!"
Fang Quan was granted amnesty and asked quickly: "Miss Aitila, who are they, how many are they there, and in what direction, are they coming towards us?"
Although Tian Lan was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of the elf girl. She just walked to the side holding the twelve-stringed harp in her arms.
Attila glanced at the two of them and shook her head: "I don't know, but I'm afraid there are quite a few. They are in front of us on the right, and they should be coming in our direction."
Fang Yu couldn't help but frown after hearing this. This description always reminded him of the attack a day ago. And Tian Lan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard it: "Front on the right, why did those people run in front of us?"
"It's not necessarily them." Rhett and Papalar who were in the house on the other side heard the noise outside and also came out. However, because the suspension bridge between the platforms on both sides has been broken and has not been repaired yet, so
Parker could only shout from the other end.
"Who else is it if it's not them?" Tianlan was very angry when she mentioned that group of people. "It's just the right time. Brother Ed and Mr. Big Cat are both here this time, which just makes them look good. We haven't avenged Jita's revenge yet.
!”
And Aitila looked at Fang Plover.
Fang Yu understood what the elf girl meant.
Of all the people here, the one with the highest level is Red and Sylvide's maid Shesta. The big cat is a thirteenth-level warrior and a twelve-level priest. Together they are exactly a twenty-level paladin. As for Xie
Star, others don't know how high her level is. According to Sylvester's description, she should be slightly lower than Rhett.
However, despite their high levels, their ability to passively detect the surrounding environment is not as good as Attila's.
The elf girl is a part-time hunter and druid. Coupled with the elf's natural advantage of long ears, when the environment is suitable, she can sometimes even hear subtle noises several miles away with the wind.
But among all the people, he has the strongest active investigation ability.
But it's him
"Now?" Fang Plover asked.
Attila nodded.
Fang Yu immediately opened the throttle valve of the magic furnace behind him with his backhand, raised his right hand, and saw the magic induction crystal on the control glove light up slightly. He pulled down his goggles. In Luo Yu's envious eyes, he only heard a buzzing sound.
Sound softly.
Four clockwork goblins flew out of the room one after another, and after circling the platform, they dispersed in four routes into the rain curtain, and flew in the direction mentioned by Attila.
Just watch this scene.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The improvement of a team by an excellent combat craftsman is really obvious.
