"An entire Ora Guard team? For the ancient ruins?"
Next to Dr. Oranso's hut, Sir Salemi called the mayor Wolf and the old druid Tarvalon to inform them of the events outside the town.
Wolf glanced at Tar Valon next to him and asked, "They are not here to hunt you, are they?"
The green-feathered bird on the old druid's head chirped, as if retorting angrily, while Tar Valon said thoughtfully: "I don't see it, you have never fought against the Offican Guards, they really want to
Killing people will not be discussed with you in advance at all. Illusions are usually used as temptations, and the mysterious knights attack from the flanks, while the mages are responsible for observing the overall situation and casting spells in mid-air... They should come here just for the ruins."
Sir Salemi looked around uneasily and asked, "Where is Dr. Olenso?"
Wolf said: "He said he wanted to conduct magic experiments and was worried that there would be too much noise, so he hid in the mountains."
"What about his crow? Isn't it supposed to be used for communication?" Sir Salemi asked.
Wolf shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows, I probably took him away too."
Tar Valon guessed the reason: "It's probably to improve his activation skills, which means we can't find him."
Wolf said nonchalantly: "What should we do now? Do we have to wait for Dr. Olenso to come back? Can your detection spell find him?"
Tar Valon replied: "Give me two hours to prepare, and I can try it."
"Where is the time now?!" Sir Salemi stamped his feet: "Those mages want me to reveal the news about the indigenous ruins at any time!"
Wolf said: "I think Dr. Olenso doesn't seem to pay too much attention to the ruins. How about telling them the location of the ruins? Anyway, the hunters in the town know the approximate location."
"No!" Sir Salemi's attitude changed drastically: "You don't understand how greedy those mages are. After they learn about the ruins, you really don't know what evil deeds those mages will do!"
Tar Valon was much calmer: "But can you stop it? There are already many ruins in the New World that have been occupied by empires and mages. Will there still be a shortage of this one?"
Sir Salemi stood there sulking, but couldn't think of a solution. As an armed guard of the Holy Lord Church, he not only hated pagan religions like the Green Circle, but also hated mages very much.
In particular, the destruction of hundreds of years of tradition accumulated by mages and the Magic Council, as well as the corruption of people's hearts brought about by the pursuit of material comfort, have greatly shaken the foundation of the Holy Lord Church. There are even mages who attempt to spy on the Holy Lord and miracles in the past.
Over the past hundreds of years, there have been more than one mysterious disappearances of clergy members, and it was suspected that the mages had kidnapped them for experiments.
Compared with the Green Ring, the evil of the mage can be said to completely subvert the ethical concepts of the past. He summons devils and devils, enslaves the dead with necromancy, uses control spells to manipulate other people's minds, and seizes the souls of living people to make magic items...
There is no need to hide these kinds of crimes, as long as one has enough power, they can be committed wantonly.
Sir Salemi has seen too many situations where a large number of innocent people have been harmed due to the greed of mages. Even the slave trade in the New World is mostly due to mages, whether it is the corrosive alchemy herb cultivation field or the frequent encounters.
Gem mines that are prone to landslides and attacks by underground creatures all rely on a large number of slave labor to support a small number of mages.
Every magic item on the mage's body is dripping with the blood of many slaves in the old and new continents!
"Once they know about the ruins, Firewood Town will never have peace!" Sir Salemi said with determination: "No matter what they find in the ruins, they will require various heavy projects to be built around the ruins, and in the end they will still need Firewood.
The townspeople are forced to work. But they will never care about the life and death of the civilians!"
Wolf sneered with a strange look on his face: "So the Sheriff will care about these things?"
"Do you think I don't care?!" Sir Salemi was very angry: "You are all laughing at me behind my back, do you think I don't know anything? What I tell is the truth, but you must secretly mislead me.
Townspeople!”
Wolf smiled and said nothing. He could not communicate with this hard-headed man. However, Tar Valon said: "Then what are you going to do? No matter how unhappy you are, no matter how you don't like it, you have to tell your way. Don't think that you can just hide it.
Once you can handle it, as long as you use some magic control or prophecy spells, the townspeople will obediently tell you the location of the ruins."
Wolf suddenly said a little strangely: "By the way, why do these mages suddenly know that there are ruins near Woodpile Town?"
The two of them looked at Sir Salemi at the same time, and the other party retorted without hesitation: "It's not me! You would actually doubt me? That kind of evil creation of paganism, it's too late to destroy him, how could I possibly destroy him?"
News to the greedy mage?"
Wolf said: "Dr. Olenso has just visited the ruins, could it be..."
This time it was Wolf's turn to be glared at by the other two. He knew he had made a mistake and simply kept silent.
"It shouldn't be possible." Tarvalon knew more about the mage: "These ruins in the New World are very special, and ordinary prophecy spells cannot detect their specific locations. Besides, haven't you discovered it? The same is true for this Ora Guard team.
Come to Chaidui Town first to inquire about the information, rather than going straight to the specific location of the ruins."
Sir Salemi asked: "In other words, if we can prevent the townspeople who know the location of the ruins from revealing the information, this Offensive Guard will not be able to find the ruins for a while?"
"That's true, but how can you guard against the other party's control and prophecy spells?" Tarvalon smiled: "Even if you don't use magic means, you can make them speak out by just using your fists to torture these townspeople.
.”
"I can let hunters who know the location of the ruins temporarily increase their immunity against psychic effect spells." Sir Salemi said: "These mages are very confident in their arcane magic. If they can't ask, they won't torture them at will."
"Why do you say that?" Tar Valon asked.
"They thought this place... wasn't clean enough." When Sir Salemi first came to Woodpile Town, he felt that the place was dirty and smelly, not to mention the mage who didn't even want to get close to the convoy?
Tar Valon thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's useless. Even if you ask the townspeople to hide it, they still believe that there are ruins nearby. Since you know that the mages are greedy, you should understand that they will not give up on the ruins easily.
The search will sooner or later reveal the truth."
"So I plan to eradicate them all!" Sir Salemi said.
When Wolf and Tar Valon heard this, they both looked at Sir Salemi with wide eyes, as if they saw some monster.
"You, you have a fever? The armed guards of the Holy Lord Church actually said such words?" Wolf was confused.
Tar Valon fell silent and said nothing. The silence made Wolf feel scared, and he quickly asked: "Hey, old man! You don't agree with this, do you?!"
"To be honest, I don't like mages either, especially mages who rely on the power of the Empire and the Magic Council." The old Druid's face became slightly serious: "And I planted the seeds of the Oak Holy Residence in Woodpile Town, and of course I am not welcome.
The mage is probing around the area. Since we can't expel them, we might as well take action as soon as possible."
Wolf shook his head and waved his hands: "You are crazy, you are all crazy! How can the three of us defeat so many mages and secret knights?"
"It's not that exaggerated!" Sir Salemi said: "Except for the three mid-level mages, the other Mystery Knights are actually not difficult to deal with except for having better equipment."
"Bah! It's just equipment!" Wolf pointed at himself: "Look, look, what else do I have besides two axes? Look at you, a broken sword and a wooden holy symbol. What else?
There is this old guy, who is holding a cane all day long and cannot stand firmly. In battles these days, all we need is equipment and supplies. The three of us have to be capable or incompetent, and we need equipment but no equipment. How can we fight with others?"
Sir Salemi showed a rare smile, glanced at the old druid Tar Valon opposite, and said: "You are actually a high-level spellcaster, right?"
The smile on Ta Valon's face was indescribably weird, and he said: "You are not bad at all, you are very favored by the holy master of your family. If there is a church nearby, you should be able to perform the 'cleansing ceremony' and be promoted
Have you reached the silver level?"
Sir Salemi forgave the other party's frivolous and disrespectful tone and asked: "If you can cooperate as much as possible, we may be able to wipe out this Offensive Guard. I wonder if you are willing to contribute?"
"Stop it, stop it!" Wolf said quickly: "Are you really planning to do this?"
Tar Valon explained: "I'm not just out of disgust with mages, but the longer the time passes, the greater the chance that they will find the ruins. As long as they find the ruins and a communication spell is spread, there will be a large number of follow-up manpower.
When we get there, nothing can be done by then."
Wolf glared and said, "But if you killed so many mages and arcane knights, how could the Imperial Legion know nothing about it?"
"So we have to delay the time." Tar Valon said: "The Oak Holy House I planted has been improved under the guidance of Dr. Olanso. As soon as the weather gets warmer, it can break out of the ground. By then, I can summon the Green Ring.
My companions are coming... If I do this, the Sheriff will not object, right?"
Sir Salemi really didn't want to see the Green Ring become powerful, so he said: "After the weather gets warmer, I will also send a letter to inform the church members that Chaihei Town is a place that needs the protection of the church."
"Then... it's a pleasure to cooperate." The old druid pressed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, with a green-feathered bird jumping around above his head, cheering.
"I understand, it's not you who are crazy, it's me who is crazy." Wolf sat down feebly: "The Holy Lord Church actually cooperated with the Green Ring? What the hell is this world?"
Tar Valon was not entangled at all: "Now is not the time to take action. It is best for us to wait for Dr. Olanso to come back. If he assists, we can definitely guarantee that this Offensive Guard will be completely wiped out. And he will also
Those who know the location of the ruins may understand the importance of that place better than we do, and will definitely join forces with us... Don't sit still, you still have things to do."
"...What's the matter?" Wolf asked weakly.
"Go and invite the mage to come to Chaidui Town." Tavalon said: "You are really unqualified as a mayor. When I was in the countryside, I taught the villagers step by step how to deal with the tax collectors and grain collection teams. In short,
In a word - I have a good-looking face and nice words, but I just won’t talk to you about serious business."
"Do you also do these things?" Sir Salemi was stunned.
"What? It sounds very similar to what your church is doing in the House of Charity?" Tar Valon smiled and said: "Your Holy Lord Church often incites human races outside the empire to resist taxes and seek independence."
Sir Salemi didn't know what expression to show. As a believer in the Lord of humanity and the Holy Lord, he naturally believed that it was the right thing to help his compatriots fight against inhuman races and evil forces. But now he understood that the aliens he hated were the right thing to do.
The believers are doing similar things, and even want to cooperate with the pagans to fight against the evil and greedy mages. It feels very strange in their hearts.
Tarvalon knocked Wolf with a long oak staff and said: "Don't be in a daze, get up and work quickly. I will go to the wild to communicate with the animals and ask them to find Doctor Olenso and get him back as soon as possible."
"Then I'll call the hunters first and ask them to keep their mouths shut." Sir Salemi adjusted his cashmere coat and turned to leave.
Watching the two people leave, Wolf just felt confused. How could the two people who were so opposite before be able to cooperate and divide work so easily in the blink of an eye?
…
In the darkness, Xuan Weizi sat motionless. Suddenly, the empty room turned white, and the sound of thunder rumbled in the Ni Wan Zi Mansion. The power of the soul spread through the vitality, like nectar spreading all over the body and the meridians of the body.
The divine light that appears outside is restrained and swirling, and with the power of the soul returning to the Huangting of the Central Palace, the perception of the five senses is reversed and the mind and body are naturally introverted. The vitality of the whole body is presented in a trajectory, with the five internal organs, the correct meridians, and all vitality and divine energy rising and falling in and out.
, not based on moving thoughts, it is actually natural and clear.
After cultivating to this point, this body actually has a body within the body. The body within the body is not in Zifu, Huangting, or Dantian, but the acquired essence is condensed into one, and the vitality of the whole body is mastered.
Sympathy.
When the divine energy is embraced together, it transports, transforms, and condenses; when the divine energy is opened and closed, it induces all things. The merits continue to turn around and gradually become complete.
The so-called Yuan Qi constitutes the foundation of all things in the world, and its expression lies in the connection and transformation between things.
The so-called Yuan Shen is the original form of life existence, which is manifested in the influence of the objective environment on the subject.
Since the connection and transformation between things must exist, the subject is inevitably affected by the object environment. Being able to recognize the influence of the object environment on the subject is the activation of the soul. Finding a good way of getting along between the subject and the object environment is
Divine energy embraces each other.
When used in the body and mind, it means that life itself has the function of self-regulation and is in a sound operating state. When used outside of the body and mind, it means that it has insight into nature and can adapt to all external environments and change according to circumstances.
Therefore, it is not artificially driving the divine energy to embrace each other, but the divine energy being innate and natural to embrace each other. It is not that people deliberately cultivate both life and life, but that both life and life are innate and natural. In fact, the physical body is cultivated by eating water, grains, meat and vegetables, and the consciousness is strengthened by seeing the seven emotions and six desires.
, causing the spirit energy to be divided and the life to be incomplete.
In the practice of alchemy, we must strive for tranquility to reveal the soul, emptiness to clarify the energy, not to hold on and not forget, not to hold on and not to lose. If the energy of the spirit returns, then the golden elixir will not be far away.
