Above the Seven Towers

Ji Yijun and Caterina stayed at the hillside cottage, watching Morey bend over, wearing gloves, holding a bottle, and slowly pouring some black powder to the ground. His brows were slightly frowned, his lips were squeezed, and he was very focused. His hands were sometimes swayed, sometimes shaking, precisely controlling the amount and position of the powder being poured out. The line of clouds and water looked like a master of Chinese painting. It didn't take long for these powders to gradually form a magic array with a diameter of about one meter.

"Akadina Powder, our alchemist is the most commonly used to determine the surrounding magical environment." Seeing that the most difficult and important part of the magic circle has been completed, only some corners and corners are left, and Morey finally has the time to work on the two Onlookers explained a few words, "A good alchemist will use it to survey the surrounding environment when he completes an important experiment to see if the space is pure enough, and whether there will be residual magical energy from outside to interfere with our experiment."

"I didn't expect that you alchemists are quite rigorous, and they are similar to those of scientists. However, depending on what you are doing, you can't tell whether you are an alchemist or a scientist." Ji Yijun said.

"Alchemist was originally a scientist in this world." Morey replied, "The things we explore may be slightly different, but the methodology and purpose are very close."

He raised his head and said with some pride: "All to get close to the essence of the world."

Ji Yijun shrugged and seemed to care nothing about him.

Morey shook his head and said, "You don't understand, so you can't be any of them."

"I don't need that, I don't want to stay in the laboratory every day. You will be there." Ji Yijun glanced at Catalina without saying a word, but she saw the admiration in her eyes and her heart was dark Thinking: This girl likes nerds.

Morey outlined the last corner with powder, then pulled out a lighter from his pocket and lit a corner of the magic circle to set fire.

"Shouldn't you alchemists use magic wands or spars?" Ji Yijun pretended to be a magician, arranging a frame with a branch.

Morey glanced at him, and that look was like a fool: "Why should I do that?"

"Because it's cooler?" Ji Yijun maintained that posture.

"That's stupid. Fools will be confused by their appearance, and smart people will always choose the simplest solution." Morey said mercilessly.

"And, I think Morey's use of a lighter is much cooler than yours." Katerina made up her mind in time.

The magic circle ignited a faint white fire and burned along the lines drawn by the powder. After a while, the flames subsided, but the magic circle emitted a soft white light, which enveloped the entire hillside in a halo of mist.

Ji Yijun looked around, and saw some colorful luster faintly appearing in the white light, some very small and very shallow, and some very large and deep. These light clusters are like jellyfish floating in the middle of the white ocean, slowly flowing around the three people.

"These are?" Ji Yijun stretched out his hand to grab a light group, but his hand passed through it without any feeling of touching something.

"This is the residual energy mark." Morey explained while taking out a pen and a notebook, and began to record the result of this cast. "According to the different energy attributes, different colors will be left. The strength of the light is represented by the size of the light cluster. These colorful small light clusters are mostly magic elements that naturally exist in nature. "

"Then this is the remnant of that day's spell?" Katerina pointed to a dark purple light mass floating at a height of about one meter.

Morey carefully circled the purple light circle several times. He read the light circle up and down, and then said in a cautious tone: "Yes, but this is not the mark left by the magician. , But a more troublesome thing, divine power. "

"Divine Power?" Ji Yijun and Katerina repeated this sentence at the same time, but the tone and mood were completely different. The expression of Ji Yijun's tone is just a puzzling, but Katerina's tone contains shock and fear.

"You mean, the **** of this world is involved in this matter?" Ji Yijun asked.

Morey slowly shook his head and said: "Magic is a kind of neutral energy, with the remnants of the will of God, it becomes a divine power. The two are very similar, but the divine power has certain specific attributes. The priest, paladin, or lord of the gods, when released magic will be accompanied by divinity, but this does not represent the will and behavior of God. I guess there is a great possibility that the spokesperson of God intervened in this matter. It's already troublesome enough. "

"Is that the priest of the **** of nature in this world?" Ji Yijun tilted his mouth and looked disgusted.

"Maybe it is the **** of nature, but it may also be a believer of the ancient god." Morey thought about it.

"I heard that the ancient gods have already fallen?" Ji Yijun asked.

"Yes, but even so, true believers can still get their residual power, but these people have been strangled by people in the Temple of Nature for many years and rarely show up."

"Wait, I remember!" Ji Yijun slapped his head. "Luo Ling and I talked about the slave camp. She guessed that there was a priest in the Temple of Nature who was playing ghosts. Are these people still not dead?"

"This fits their style. 'Lioness dives deep into the grass, chooses a good opportunity', but this is the famous saying of Augustus, the golden branch priest, two hundred years ago. Principality. "

At this time, Catalina interjected in a low voice: "You, you just talk about the messenger of God directly? Even the god?"

Ji Yijun raised his eyebrows, "Why? What's the problem? Are you a believer in the God of Nature?"

Katerina waved a little nervously: "No, but I at least pay respect to the **** of nature. In addition, many mercenaries believe in the **** of nature, or, or the **** of war." When talking about the **** of war, she naturally lowered it. The sound, a fallen ancient god, must be very careful when mentioning it.

"It seems that your head is not broken yet. Weak people like to have gods standing on their heads, and idiots like **** sticks to ride on their shoulders. If these people are missing, they will keep them underneath. "Ji Yijun's tone is full of mockery.

Morey said: "Be careful! Although many magicians have similar ideas to you, they will not say that in public. After all, this is a real world of gods. If you yell like this in a tavern, no I'm afraid it's impossible to bleed. "

Ji Yijun raised his head, patted his long sword on the waist, grinned, and looked excited.

Morey sighed and decided not to argue with Lengtouqing. He said: "I think you should have some clues now that you can check it out. These clergy are different from ordinary believers, and their pious faith requires them Must pray to God from time to time. "

"You mean to find the place where they prayed, and to stay in wait for the rabbits? Where do people in the Temple of Nature like to pray? What about the believers of God of War?" Ji Yijun asked.

"People in the Temple of Nature are close to nature. They usually look for the largest and oldest tree in the nearby forest, and then draw the emblem of the **** of nature on the tree, and then pray to the emblem." Morey said, "As for ancient God, I do n’t know. You know, whether it is a magician or an alchemist, most of us only believe in our own power. For us, God is just an unrelated powerful existence. "

"I only know that there will be people in the mercenaries to worship the God of War. Generally, they will put two weapons, such as two swords, on the ground, and then they can pray to the God of War."

Catalina made a look with two branches, and then began to sing gently:

"The sword begins, the journey begins

The order hasn't stopped, and the battles will not stop

Life and death are forgotten, courage is particularly persevering

Fighting the sacred hall, the heroic soul ends. "

Catalina, it is a heavy and powerful tune, giving a sense of desolation on the battlefield. Singed by a girl like her, but there is a sad emotion.

Ji Yijun and Morey listened quietly to her singing. Ji Yijun gently clapped his hands and said: "It's good to sing. This God of War still has an artistic cell. Are you a believer in the God of War before?"

Katrina shook her head: "No, but Brother Adams is a faithful believer in the God of War. He often prays to the God of War before the battle."

"Who is Adams?"

"He is a member of our mercenary regiment. He fought with Master Xiao Chen and finally died on the way to fight the horse thief."

Ji Yijun said in awe: "Sorry, we should let more people remember their names. Adams? I will tell the fellow Wang Jiyuan that a monument should be set up to record the people who died in that battle. Later, sure More people will die because of this or that, at least they will remember it. "

Katerina said: "Mercenaries have never been expected to be remembered by employers, fighting, dying, and then being forgotten. This is the fate of mercenaries. This is what Sister Karanda said."

Ji Yijun shook his head quite seriously: "I hate this statement. Otherwise, at least I will remember these things you have done. And, I don't think we are a simple employment relationship. Although many of us are different , But I think everyone can become friends and partners. For example, the two guys Enrique and Garcia have been with me for a long time, and naturally they are my buddies. "

"In fact, many years later, we are all the same, only the dust of history." Morey added seriously.

Ji Yijun waved his hand and said, "I'm sore. The dust of history, what stuff. I can't be a dust. Why can't I become a legend in history? Why can't I be a hero to be sung by future people? Look at you, A scientific alchemist, me, a grudge warrior who knows martial arts, and her, um, even if she is in charge of selling cute Lolita? It is simply a template customized for hero stories! "

Somehow, the mood changed after Ji Yijun spoke, and Katrina, who was a little sad, also laughed.

"Okay, heroes! We should have a plan now." Ji Yijun clapped his hands, as if to invigorate his spirits. He looked at the surrounding forest and found that there were quite a few trees near the campsite, saying, "God of War The believers are hard to find, so let ’s start with the Temple of Nature first. Well, there are a few big trees out there. We ’ll start with these trees to see if there are any bad guys doing ghosts there. ”

"But" Katerina gave him a worried look. "You don't want to do exaggerated things in the place where they sacrifice?"

Ji Yijun patted his sword hilt with a hint of pride: "Cut, what I plan to do, it depends on what they do."
