Chapter 13
On the way back to Camp Roger, Ethan was in pain and joy.
What I was happy about was naturally the basic fighting ability that I had always wanted to learn, and finally learned from this necromancer who was officially named Rasma Priest.
The pain is that Zuer's teaching method is simple and crude. In addition to teaching some basic movements and force methods at the beginning, his daily teaching is to beat him - or unilateral beating him is more appropriate.
In Zuer's words, Ethan at this stage does not have to consider how to effectively kill the enemy, but should learn how to protect himself in a storm-like attack, and then find a counterattack opportunity in defense that can kill him with one blow.
"It is not realistic to improve your physical fitness and combat skills in a short period of time, so at this stage you just need to practice how to save your life."
Zul, who beat Ethan up again, said this, and with the last "scrap" it was not long, and even if he walked slowly, he would have finished it. The two finally arrived at Roger Camp.
The guards at the door knew Ethan and did not bother too much about Zul brought back by Ethan. Especially after Zul said that he came here to deal with the increasing dark power at the request of Isandra, Rogers expressed a warm welcome.
"Rog here is a branch of the Amazons. His combat power is very strong. Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by the dark forces to the point where he was looking forward to the arrival of the savior."
Rogers were not in good condition. Although they seemed to be fair in morale, as the days passed, the dark energy became stronger and stronger, and they had fewer ways, so they could only passively stay in the camp all day long. Under this situation, they could no longer show the spirit of daring to fight the devils head-on at the beginning.
"It seems that Andalil needs to be solved as soon as possible. Although I don't know if the problem of the surge in dark power can be completely eradicated, at least it can alleviate the situation in this area... I believe that as long as this powerful demon is killed and the dark power fades, these Rogges can deal with ordinary dark creatures, which can also restore their morale."
Zul is an action-oriented person. He does what he thinks of and immediately asks about where Isandra is. He wishes to form a team with Isandra to push the boss Andalil immediately.
Isandra was also waiting for Zul's arrival in the camp. The two met soon and directly discussed the issue of attacking the dark creatures.
Compared to Zul's idea of killing directly in front of Andalil, Isandra said that he needed to clear away the dark creatures around him first, especially the minions specially arranged by Andalil.
"Especially the recent evil cave, according to my observation, there have been a large number of dark creatures gathered in it. Although they are not very powerful creatures, the increasing number is still a huge threat. If you ignore it, it is likely to destroy this camp."
"Rog Camp is almost the last combat-capable human camp nearby. Even if we kill Andalil, we need Rogs to clean up the dark creatures in the entire area... so we must clear out the potential threat of evil caves."
Zul nodded and agreed to Isandra's plan: "You are right, let's clean up the surroundings first. It shouldn't take much time, after all, we have three of us."
“Three?”
Isandra was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, and then noticed Ethan who had not spoken next to her: "You mean...Ethan?"
This time, Zul was stunned: "Isn't he a companion to fight against the dark forces?"
Only then did Isandra understand what Zul had misunderstood, and shook her head with a smile: "No, although he can help, he has not even touched the door to basic magic now, so it is not appropriate to let him fight against dark creatures now."
"Okay, then it's just the two of us."
"Don't worry, the current situation of dark energy becoming increasingly powerful will arouse the alertness of many groups. I believe that more and more partners will appear in no time."
When Ethan heard this, he thought of the Paladin, the Barbarian, the Amazon, and the Druids and Assassins who later joined. The first three and the two in front of him became the heroes who once again destroyed the demon king Diapolo and the demon king Barr.
However, it seemed that he could not see these people. He took the time to calculate that he had been in this world for more than twenty days, and he would leave the dark world and return to the strange ocean in the last few days.
The goal I planned at the beginning was basically completed. Not only did I learn how to build a magic circle, but I also obtained a magic book that recorded the basic magic principles and methods of use. I learned the basic magic potion production, how to use my mental power to distinguish the characteristics of herbs; and learned the basic close-fitting struggle.
He remembered these things firmly in his mind, and his enhanced memory once again provided great help. Others who had no time to write them down also received books and could continue to study after going back.
It can be said that this dark trip has gained a lot. As long as Ethan persists, his strength will steadily improve. Even because the categories involved are diverse and can promote each other to improve, he will not encounter the so-called bottleneck in a short period of time.
"Next, it's time to get the equipment you've customized before."
Before leaving Roger camp to find Zul, he used the compensation he earned during this period to ask the blacksmith Chasi in the camp to help him make a small equipment.
In fact, the day after he left the camp, Chasi had already completed what he wanted. After all, it was really just a small prop: two not thick wrist guards, and there was a small mechanism on the outside of the wrist guards, which could fire three short arrows about ten centimeters long.
Before creating it, he specifically asked Kasha about the tricks of the Rogers to launch the magic on the arrows. After thinking hard and constantly modifying it, he finally completed the final design with the help of Isandra, and then asked Chasi to create the real thing.
At present, what I got from Chasi is still half-finished, and now it is just an ordinary wrist guard, which can fire a total of six short arrows.
After getting it, Ethan also needs to engrave the magic circle in the area preset in the wrist guards himself. This is a meticulous and trivial job. In addition, he only has such a pair of wrist guards. If a huge failure occurs and destroys the wrist guards, he will not have the chance to remake a pair.
Ethan, who was highly focused, not only adjusted his condition to the best in advance, but also set up a very large brand outside the tent: Do not disturb.
After feeling that everything was ready, Ethan began to engrave the magic circle that had been designed long ago.
Inscribe the equipment on a magic array, record specific magic, and then activate it with mental power to achieve the effect of casting some magic.
This is the protective prop Ethan prepared for himself.
This concept is not complicated. He just split the steps of a mage casting magic, and then dismantled the only thing a mage can do with his own ability to mobilize his mental power to trigger this most basic thing.
The provision of magic will be provided by Ethan using several magic stones in his hand.
For the convenience of using, Ethan also added a magic power storage link to the magic circle. In this way, he only needs to import the power from the magic stone into the magic circle when he is free to store it in advance, avoiding the magic stone directly installed on the wrist guard. Adding a "hardware" is added, and a step of extracting magic power is reduced, saving the time for magic activation.
The shape and casting of magic are all automatically completed by the magic array. The advantage is that it is brainless, and the disadvantage is that it is all preset, whether it is power or speed.
In order to make up for the weakness of magic power and the roughness of the magic array, Ethan had to add physical carriers to increase lethality, so he added short arrows - or sleeve arrows on his wrist guards. He also specifically asked Kasha for advice on how to attach magic to the arrows.
When finally completed, these two wrist guards become magical equipment that can fire six flame arrows attached to them.
This equipment has no manual mechanism. Ethan spent some energy to design the mechanism that fired the short arrow into a way to trigger mental power. It can be said that this equipment must be used with mental power, and the change direction has become his own exclusive equipment - those who have reached a sufficient level of mental power control will not look down on this thing, and those who have seen it do not have enough mental power control.
"I always feel like this thing is a bit like a woman's use."
Ethan, who had been busy all night and successfully designed and made the first magic equipment, was very happy. Some of the slightest points that rose from the bottom of his heart were ignored by him.
After putting on a pair of wrist guards, feeling the weight and whether it affected his movements, Ethan carefully sorted out his things. He took out a few bottles of special potions he had made before and placed them in a small bag behind him.
After wearing the dagger around his waist and hanging the shield in a place where he could get it, Ethan left his tent and went straight to find Ethan Ra.
Although he had been busy all night and consumed some energy, Ethan had recovered after a while of rest. During this period, he had been practicing variously, and both physical and mental strength had reached a new level.
Feeling some of his current state, he made an important decision: he would go to the evil cave with Isandra and Zul to clear out the dark creatures entrenched there.
"With two powerful teammates, Zul and Isandra, if I don't even dare to face a group of the weakest dark creatures, then what will I do in the future?"
Who knows what kind of world he will go to in the future and what kind of monsters he will face? Do you always expect to hide in a safe place to collect resources? Who knows what you will encounter in that ocean world? Can you guarantee that you will meet ordinary people in the future?
