After dinner, Neo chatted with four subordinates and learned that Hagen was an assistant in a famous restaurant in life and had planned to open a food stall, provided that his mother would be the boss and handle the front desk.
Neo said with a smile: "It seems that your brothers in the city guard will have a worse dinner."
Tony's specialty is his exceptional ability to run and walk, and his long-lasting endurance. He is nicknamed "Skinny Donkey". He often travels between Kuian and Chebna, as well as the surrounding villages, sending messages, sending messages, and buying some odds and ends, such as salt, practical spices, etc.
I heard from Tony that there were at least 5 Neos in Qui'an and Chibna who did this kind of work after farming. Then I realized that Mashua's cavalry was really supported by force, Valentina
Giving him two steeds before was already a big deal for the not-so-rich knight leader of Mathias.
Mach is an outsider even to Mashua, and he doesn't want to talk too much. When Neo asked about his specialty, he only said that he was a groom when he was in Mashua.
When we worked together before, Neo found that Maher's right hand and left leg were not very flexible. In addition, he used a sword with his left hand, and his walking was a bit bumpy, and his face was not normal. Neo deduced that there was something wrong with this man.
He has a hidden injury, and he should be a person with some stories. However, Neo has no intention of touching Mach's sensitive points for the time being. According to his wish, the daily task of taking care of the team's four horses is given to him.
As for Dick, he has no expertise, but he knows a little bit about everything. Neo said: "He is a generalist, so he can be my assistant."
"Captain, when are you going to teach us some tricks?" Dick's eyes flashed with excitement when he asked.
Standing up, Neo stretched his waist and said: "Tomorrow, just have a good rest today. But before going to bed, I have a small task, which is to read 'Neo is our boss' loudly two hundred times. I will do it myself."
Supervision, those who are not serious will be punished.”
The four people, including Maher, were all a little stunned. They thought, is this guy narcissistic or something? What kind of bullshit mission is this?
Neo ignored the expressions of the four of them and wandered over to inspect the other two camps.
The militiamen chose a smaller five-square ice fence, with tents set up at three corners and two corners radiating as the venue. From Neo's perspective, the location and terrain were chosen well, and the tents were set up well.
It was quite satisfactory. When he arrived, he had almost finished his work. Neo watched for a while and took note of a young man with thick brown hair. Not only did this man vaguely mean to be the temporary leader, but if Neo guessed correctly,
, the camp was also set up under the guidance of this young man.
About 40-50 meters away is the camp of the bandits. They chose the depression that was once used as a temporary stable for the Tures Migration Team.
Including the terrain itself and the ice fence, the three sides of this depression have walls of more than 5 meters, but it is too empty and large, and there is no clear-cut corner in the depression to lean on, and the fourth side is still a big gap.
The large wooden fence was also taken away and used for other purposes when the migration team broke out of camp. Based on the above factors, the effect of resisting the cold wind here is actually very poor.
The setting up of the soldiers and bandits' camps can also be described as miserable. One has not yet been erected, and the other has been erected crookedly. The ropes are loose and lazy, which makes it difficult to stand up at first sight. The meal is also being cooked, but it already has a distinct smell of burnt food.
, the fire is too strong, the shoveling is not diligent enough, the bottom is burnt, and if you add more water, it is difficult to expect that such a pot of food will be delicious.
Neo's eyes finally fell on Wiz in the corner. Before he walked slowly over, he had already seen the stretcher dozens of meters away and the obvious crawl marks on the ground.
Wiz saw Neo and turned his head to the side. Although he didn't see Neo's face clearly when fighting in Cropp, he later figured out which one was the one who shot his legs with arrows.
Naturally, he can't have a good look on Neo
Neo has never seen what Wiz looked like back then, but he probably won't be as haggard as he is now. It's not hard to imagine that the villagers of Cropp don't need to deliberately treat him badly, they just need to treat him like other soldiers and bandits.
, is enough to make this man suffer a lot. Treating the wounded with the standards of prisoners is a kind of torture.
Wiz ignored him, and Neo squatted down to check the injury on Wiz's calf. Wiz refused to cooperate. As a result, Neo punched him twice. Wiz was honest, but stared at the bull's eye and breathed heavily.
Witz's injury did not heal well. Priest Nolind's daily magical power was limited and it was impossible to use it on him. Witz's leg was only used to draw arrows, and some medicine was applied to wait for natural healing. It was cold and cold.
It was freezing, and the care was not adequate. Wiz himself lacked the knowledge to take care of it. Now the wound has been frozen and slightly infected. In this weather, in any other season, it would have started to fester.
After helping Wiz re-wrap the injury, Neo left without saying anything. After a while, he turned back, carrying his exquisite bedroll and a satchel.
Neo opened Wiz's leg injury for the second time. Under Wiz's surprised eyes, he used the skill Pearl of Life, once for each of the two wounds.
It is most appropriate to use the Pearl of Life to heal a point-penetrating injury like Wiz's. The healing power penetrates the entire injury, the curative effect is remarkable, and there is almost no excess power leaking out.
Neo simply covered the wound first, sat next to Wiz, looked at the militiamen who were still busy not far away, and glanced here from time to time, and said slowly: "I grew up in the Youth Gladiator Camp.
There, besides fighting, I only learned two things. First, admit defeat when it’s time to give up. Second, take care of yourself as much as possible.”
Wiz still kept his head down and didn't say anything. In fact, as a gangster, he didn't understand that revenge like Neo's shooting of him was generally impossible to avenge, and he shouldn't even remember it deliberately, otherwise he could only do it by himself.
I don’t mention the external environment, the gap in strength, or the quality and ability. I just say the same thing and insist that if you are really the kind of person who must retaliate, you must find your place when you are suppressed. You must have the temperament, tolerance, and perseverance.
How could he be in such a bad situation now? After living for almost 30 years, Wiz still knows his own moral integrity.
But he understands, but there are still some emotional twists, making him shrink like Tony, be forbearing like March, and rush to get close to him like Dick. Wiz can't do it, and for a person like him, it's unfathomable.
Before, awkwardness was just awkward and didn’t require much explanation.
Neo stood up, looked around, and left again. Soon after, he came back again, this time dragging a tree as thick as a small bowl.
Drawing out the green steel sword, the sword light rolled through, and he cut the tree into three pieces like a carrot, removed the branches, then split it vertically, and planed it into six half-wood pieces. He chose a place and used his fist as a hammer.
Use wood as nails, bang bang bang! Three or three nails are inserted into the hard earth wall to form a short wall. Then the branches are densely inserted into the snow on the windward side of the short wall, and the soil is accumulated with the feet.
Snow rammed porcelain, a simple windproof wall is completed
Neo leisurely found Witz's stretcher, holding one end of it as a spear with both hands, exhaling loudly, using both hands hard, and forced the other end into the frozen soil behind the windbreak wall, and then held the
Place this end diagonally on the ground, at an angle of about 15° to the ground.
Neo laid his bedroll on the stretcher, opened the side buckles and leather straps of the sleeping bag, and a soft bed with a covering was completed.
Turning back to deal with Witz's leg injury, the frostbite and minor infection had obviously subsided. Neo re-bandaged it with medicine and then took his hands out of Witz's back and armpits, dragging him behind the windproof wall.
Throwing it onto the soft bed, he pulled back the top curtain of the sleeping bag from the side, then took out a piece of meat the size of a small rice bowl from the bag and stuffed it into Wiz's arms.
After packing up Wiz's bedding, Neo walked towards his camp without saying a word.
"Don't think you can bribe me by doing this!" Wiz shouted from behind the windproof wall.
"Heal your own injuries first if you can!" Neo replied, gradually walking away.
Perhaps it was because of Wiz's uncompromising attitude towards Neo that the soldiers and bandits took a high look at him, so the dinner did not completely impress him. It was a half-cooked and half-baked pancake and a lunch box that was slightly thicker than water.
There was still some hot soup with a mushy taste. The soldiers who brought the food dumped the food on the ground next to Wiz, "Uncle, eat! That's it. If you want to blame, just blame Mashua's gang, they robbed it."
Walked away with food for at least 3 of us”
The soldier was hoping that Wiz would be able to strike up a conversation with Neo, as if he could use him to complain. Unfortunately, Wiz was not as clever as he was. When the soldier saw Wiz's expression blank, he was naturally disappointed and didn't bother to say anything else, so he turned around.
Gone
Neo returned to the camp, chatting with Dick and others, and began to do some small work. First, he used a splitting ax and a dagger to peel a leather last, and then covered it with snow.
The skins of rabbits and roe deer were degreased, and the skins were scalded with hot water from melted snow and two types of tree sap used for degreasing and toughening. Finally, a simple wooden frame was made, and the skins that had been shaken out of water were stretched on
On the wooden frame...
This series of work is the initial production process of fur, which requires time and patience. If it is high-quality leather, if you want to make it into ready-to-use leather, it will take 4 or 5 days to tan at the earliest.
Ao was not in a hurry and worked slowly. Before going to bed, he had just finished two snow rabbit skins and one roe deer skin.
"Neo is our boss!"
"Neo is our boss!"...
The four Dicks completed the tasks assigned by Neo before going to bed. They were a little embarrassed at first, but they didn't feel bad after shouting too much. Besides, Neo was supervising them. Considering Neo's previous punishment methods,
4 people think it is more cost-effective to complete the task
The harmonies of the four people were sent to the other two camps by the night wind, and they were rubbing each other's wounds. The two groups of people who were worried about today's experience were naturally quite critical and sick! Perverts! Narcissists! Stupid idiots... what are you talking about?
All have
As the night deepened, the wind raged further. As it passed through the edge of the forest, the roar was almost continuous. Looking from the gap in the forest to the direction of the plain, the plain was like a turbulent sea, with the rolling white waves.
It is formed by rolled up snow
In such weather, even White Socks, who always likes to go out alone at night, is too lazy to go out. It lies on the fodder bag of the horse's ration, and is not sleepy yet. From time to time, it turns back to look at Neo next to it.
Neo lay in the arms of White Socks and meditated on the Astral Pluto Technique. There are not many requirements for posture, as long as it is a comfortable posture that is conducive to relaxation.
Deep meditation is a compulsory course for Neo. Because of his part-time job as a shaman, this course has become even more important now.
Like the inheritance of other techniques, the Sengolas Shaman Chapter consists of two parts: the general outline and the essence. One is to correct biases, and the other is to emphasize the key points. As for how to do it specifically, there is not too much elaboration, but just
Like the language of a fortune teller, it is ambiguous and can be understood in any way. It is full of the interest of the text itself and a kind of bad taste that can make people go crazy.
Neo had heard a lot of stories about shamans when he was very young. At that time, he knew that shamans were divided into healing, fighting, and energy types. This classification method was very similar to that of druids, but after reading
After passing the Sengolas Shaman Chapter, Neo learned that the shaman path in its heyday was more complicated and detailed, and that the stories spread among the werewolf clan were not just legends.
Mountain spirits, water spirits, plants, animals. At that time, almost every shaman had his own main totem. They could combine the power of the spirit with themselves to gain power far beyond the limits of ordinary people. There were even combinations of dual totems.
For example, a shaman who masters the bear totem and the earth element totem and combines them to form the earth bear is already a legendary existence. It is said that one slap of the palm can cause a major earthquake in an area.
Neo is now facing the monument of the earth element. The only elemental power that has been unlocked is a symbol that represents tolerance. However, he does not yet have any skills to use this power.
Neo also knows that he is only able to use the power of the earth element in a superficial way, and is still far from truly mastering it. His important lesson is to spend time and energy facing this monument, feel the power of the earth element, and improve his own exclusive fit.
In addition, the spiritual awareness training of the shaman is also an important course. When the two items reach a certain level, he can call the spirit of the earth element and communicate to reach a contract. After that, the production of techniques will be a matter of course.
However, it makes no sense to be able to use this kind of power, but not being able to use any of the techniques is so disgusting. Neo thought, should half of the techniques like the mage's stone skin be used by him?
After much deliberation, Neo finally recalled the process of obtaining healing power, so he reached out and tried to get a handful of the mighty earth elemental power around the monument. However, the golden light was like water, and it did not penetrate into his hands, but instead
Diaspora
"It seems that even the most superficial use requires a power transfer ceremony!" Neo thought about the situation when the perfect woman gave him the power of healing and continued to think about it. Neo finally locked his eyes on the bright and dying talisman.
The text reads, "Could this be it?"
Neo thought of the sentence in the shaman chapter of Sengolas: "Intention and Seal"
"Ideology, my current existence is thought, spirit, and seal. This talisman in front of me should be regarded as a seal?"
After calming down, Neo put his handprint towards the symbol on the monument. He also understood that his hand was actually the embodiment of abstract consciousness, representing connection.
The moment the hand connected with the symbol, a majestic force flowed from the monument along Neo's arm and throughout his body, and formed a golden seal on his forehead that was exactly the same as the symbol on the monument. Then, Neo
I felt that my body was melting in this majestic power, and then it condensed into shape again with this seal as the core. After that, everything became silent.
Jumping out of the world of consciousness, Neo checked his body and found that the neural network tightly bound in his body, in addition to the healing power, also added a weak power of the earth element. However, it was different from the healing power of the lair and the bloodline bond.
Then, the earth element was stationed in the abdominal cavity corresponding to 5 centimeters below the navel, like a floating cloud of dust with no fixed shape.
After waking up from deep meditation, Neo's consciousness reached him. He gently twisted his right hand, and a faint earth-yellow light appeared between his fingers, and continued to condense under the control of his consciousness.
There was a burst of joy in my heart, "It's done, the next step is to use it concretely."
Neo was about to return to a state of deep meditation to understand the power belt of the earth element in order to find a direction for the generation of techniques, when he heard a loud crash in the bandit camp.
It turned out that a strong wind blew by, not only blowing up one of the tents, but also blowing the firewood they had set up in the bonfire flying in all directions. The scene was extremely chaotic.
The soldiers and bandits were quite helpless. They had no choice but to get up from their beds and set up the tent again. They found that the tent had been burned with firewood to make two holes. The wind continued to pour in when they put it up. They had to use something to block the other tent.
The people were also awakened, worried about similar things, and braved the cold to strengthen their tents, but also suffered a little crime.
On the contrary, no one paid attention to Wiz, who finally slept against the simple windproof wall. Although the windproof wall was like a sieve, a thin layer of fine snow penetrated and covered the sleeping bag.
