The Legend of Fatality

"Do you think they-those ratmen will attack again soon?" Warwick asked, looking at the dark hill.

"I've been thinking about the same thing." Bai En replied. "The answer is that everything is just my guess. They are different from human beings." Bai En looks up at the cloudy sky, the moon's light is still bright, but from time to time it will be cloud Cover it completely. "If we are facing a human army, I would say that we need some bad weather. Humans will affect marching and offensive plans when facing bad weather, but I don't know whether they will affect those ratmen."

"I suspect bad weather will even help those ratmen," Bai En paused, continuing. "The downpour can cover them well, and may even affect the dwarves' acute hearing, so that the ratmen's attack will not be detected so early."

"At the surface, heavy rain does affect our hearing to a certain extent, but I think it will be a serious problem." Warwick said with some doubt.

"All serious problems are accumulated by a little bit of small problems." Bai En said lightly.

"Very wise," Borrek recognized with his beard, "I think this is the real answer to many questions."

Warwick turned to look at them, his eyes wide and round, full of anxiety. "Should we speed up the progress?"

"Maybe," Borrek said, patting his pipe. "But that will make people tired, and we may need them to ensure better mental and physical condition in the future. Our trip will start soon, Even if we are flying in an airship, we are at risk of getting lost. We need participants to ensure that they are as optimistic as possible. This is the key point. "

Borek frowned at the top of the valley on one side.

"Well," Borek said. "In fact, I have something to tell you about the Ratmen."

"What's the matter, uncle?"

"The commanders of the ratmen didn't show up. This is normal. They like to stay behind and control everything." Borek said. "But I have heard something about the magic of ratmen, they will use an evil magic that can monitor us from afar."

"They know our every move?" Warwick looked at the sky with concern.

"I doubt it," Borrec replied. "I think it's more like a certain animal, such as an owl, can see a large area, but that's all. Otherwise their last attack shouldn't be so hasty . "

While the old dwarves were talking, Bai En noticed something in the wood to the left of them, and he grabbed his hilt. Then a pair of birds flew into the sky. As he waited for what would happen next, his heart said his throat.

"That's the magic of the ratmen? Are they watching us through the eyes of birds?" Borrek said with a smile.

Bai En glanced at the old dwarf and had no idea of ​​his sense of humor. "Let's go to that black tower quickly," he said.

When the three came to the Black Tower, Bai En felt that he had returned to the Black Tower of Fatalin Island again, which was equally large and seemingly indestructible. But when he shone the lantern on it, he also found a clear difference. From a distance, the overall style is very similar, but as long as you look closely, you will find that this is a completely different style.

The black tower has some obvious dents on the outside, which looks like a wild original painting. Bai En looked at it for a while, but failed to really see anything.

"It's like a madman scratching the wall," Bai En whispered.

"Maybe," as if to prove how sensitive the dwarf's hearing is, Boreck answered, "Let's go in." After he finished, he signaled Warwick to push open the door.

Before going in, Bai En glanced at the gate. Like the black tower of Fatalin, it was tall and thick, as if it was prepared for some kind of giant. However, considering the human habits, the size of the gate is still acceptable.

When Bai En entered the black tower, the light of the lantern was turned on, but he still failed to illuminate the main hall. However, Bai En could confirm that it was completely different from Fatalin ’s black tower. Different from the ancient but relatively exquisite style of Fatalin Heita, the walls here are rough and rudimentary, with almost no decoration. The style is not so ethnic as it is too primitive.

"Those wooden staircases were newly built by the dwarves?" Bai En asked, pointing at the staircase that was obviously different from the surrounding style.

"Yes, go directly to the top. You saw it before. We built a clock tower there so that we can watch the time." Borek replied. "In other places, we simply repaired some things, and did not make much changes."

"I guess you don't just want to tell me this."

"Of course, in fact, there is hardly anything special in this tower on the ground. The only place we have found is in the underground. Let's talk as we walk." The old dwarf also took out a lantern and adjusted the brightness. And then walked towards a dark place on the edge.

Bai En didn't speak, and followed directly, while Warwick held his book and walked to the end.

"I think about it, I should start talking from there--" said the old dwarf, while leading the other two down the rough stone staircase from the dark doorway. "Of all the people I met, generally very curious about this tower and trying to find some clues in it, almost only casters and scholars, especially those who prefer to study and discover ancient miracles. Scholar. So, you are— "

"--You can call me a combat mage, if you know this caster." White said hesitantly.

"What's the difference with other casters?" Warwick asked curiously.

"Please forgive my nephew's curiosity," Borrek apologized. "He doesn't understand the caster's principle of hoping to keep his secret."

"Actually, at this point, I don't have any secrets, or things that need to be hidden." Bai En paused. He turned his head to look at Warwick before continuing. "There are relatively few people who can cast spells in this world, but there are many kinds. The most common one is the mage. These real mages are similar to the scholars you mentioned in a sense. Their ultimate goal is to think To understand the world thoroughly. "

"Are you different?" Warwick asked again.

"Yes, please forgive me for saying this, but I have been in this world for more than thirty years, but I haven't really gained insight into anything that has happened. I want to fully understand this world. Come Understand everything? This is a difficult task. "

"No one can. It seems that it takes more than time." Warwick said after thinking for a while.

"I also think it's impossible, and most of my companions think so too. In one of the words, wanting to really understand a grass requires even a lifetime of research." Bai En paused. "And the world It is constantly changing, which is why we tend to specialize. "

"So the battle mage—"

"The core is to kill people, **** people," Bai En interrupted the other party. "The most important thing is that if the mage who solves the other party, especially the kind of mage that has become extremely powerful through the accumulation of a lot of knowledge and magic power, then This kind of true mage will become more and more powerful through decades of study, groping, plus life experience, knowledge, etc. But they have a fatal flaw— "

"They didn't spend all their time studying killings, did they?" Borrek interrupted Bai En's words, but he continued without waiting for his answer. "I guess you spend most of your time studying **** people. This makes it possible for you to kill a powerful mage in just a few years." He seemed to think of something again after he said it. "No, I guess it's not 'must' kill a powerful mage, but there is a probability, but as long as the number is enough, the probability will greatly increase, right?"

"Yes," Bai En nodded and admitted.

"But," Warwick was even more puzzled. "What does it mean for you to be this kind of mage? You don't know if you can be that kind, how to say, the 'real' mage, but you chose Now this identity? Does this restrict you? Why did you choose this way? "

"It doesn't make sense," faced with a series of questions from Warwick, Bane could only answer the one he thought was the most important.

"Yes, it doesn't make sense, Warwick. Because I guess this is not his choice, but the one imposed on him." Borek sighed. "Some people don't really have the opportunity to choose for themselves. . "

"Oh ~" Warwick seemed to understand. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai En. I didn't mean to say this—"

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about these anymore," Bai En waved his hand, interrupting Warwick's apology. "For me, this is the best choice."

"Excuse me, I still want to ask, why?" Warwick asked apologetically.

Bai En smiled, and the curiosity of the young dwarf scholar made him feel a sense of intimacy. After thinking for a while, he began to say.

"Even in the field I chose ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ After countless years of learning, I am still a novice. The more you learn, the more you realize that you know too little. However, however, the study itself is well worth it .After all, knowledge is the source of power. "Bai En paused." And regarding the battle itself--all my initial opponents were casters, by discarding more possibilities in the future--, at least I can say I ’m still alive, are n’t I? "

"But you said that those real mages strengthen themselves by learning knowledge." Warwick hesitated. "That is to say, as long as you master enough knowledge, you can do everything? But you also said, The combat mage is focused on the fight of the caster, but it also depends on learning knowledge, but it is more focused on certain aspects. If you say that, with enough knowledge, you will become the same as the real mage, Isn't it? "

Bai En frowned and said, "This is limited, and there are some rules. Although I haven't figured out what these are." He looked at his hand and continued. "Even if two people, the same age, the same experience, learn the same knowledge, but their spells will be different. This is not like your engineering creations, you can calculate and analyze through repeated phenomena to find The answer. Magic-at least I have never found any law that can be confirmed, even if I say there is, or some people think that he has found a certain law in magic, and it is really realized, then I feel that They got some similar answers from wrong inferences. "

"It sounds very mysterious," Warwick said for a moment.

"It's really mysterious, but it's also beautiful." Bai En replied, "If you can really feel the magic."
