Chapter 9 Chapter Six

Several days passed. My routine has become very interesting.I wake up very early in the morning, and after I have eaten, I will be fully armed and run to the Song of Santrella.Taiban sat at the table drinking milk and greeted me as soon as he heard me enter.It's brilliant.I once asked a passing child to walk in front of me and I followed closely, but Taiban was absolutely right.He can hear my footsteps. Then I'll take Taiban into town.The remaining guards in the city will report what happened last night and talk about other things, but they have nothing to do with me, so most of the time, I wait at the training ground.

At this time, I will draw my sword and play.After morning exercises and breakfast, the guards would sit and rest next to the training ground every day, watch me practice swords and then clap their hands. Sometimes they would make fun of me, and sometimes they would give me advice. "Don't hold the tiger's mouth so tightly! Just act as if you are holding Jemini's hand!" What kind of advice is that!This will only bury a young man with a promising future! Sometimes they also come to demonstrate the movements for me.In order to imitate Turner's movement of turning three times and hitting nine times in a row, I fell down several times in succession.Turner was unable to join the crusade because of his injuries from fighting the trolls.Although Taiban helped him heal, the legs still didn't seem to be able to function smoothly.However, he still showed me his exquisite technique with skillful movements.But the soldiers laughed.

"Turner, this guy, he can't do it after his leg is injured." "Bastard, next time your leg gets stabbed by a rake!" The soldiers joked with each other and coached me.But what they teach is really hard. "After you get home, do push-ups, chop firewood or something, and practice your arm strength. This kid just boils candles every day, so his body is as fragile as candles!" Chopping wood... There is no need to do this.Our family often needs to light a fire, unlike other families who chop firewood by themselves every day and go directly to buy firewood.So I started doing push-ups.After a few days, my arms started to ache, and even eating bread was very painful.

Anyway, after the business in the city was over, Taiban would go out to make rounds.Sometimes around the village, Taiban would ask me carefully about the local terrain, then nodded and stopped. "So, this place is very suitable as a path to enter the village." In other words, it means that monsters will invade from here.He would ask me to draw some strange shapes on trees or on the ground or rocks, and then cast spells on those shapes.I don't need to ask what those are.In order to make sure that I was drawing correctly, Taiban often took me as an experimental subject.Then I would be entangled in invisible cobwebs, floating in mid-air, or blacked out, unable to see anything, and fell to the ground, sometimes even my head was blackened by fire.

"Taiban! Help!" In front of my eyes were five dragons, discussing solemnly with each other whether to roast me, boil me, or eat me raw.In such a vision, I was terrified and screamed for help.It was such an experience that sent one's spine running straight, but Taiban was laughing with delight, which was abominable.snort!The next time you help this blind man lead the way, why don't you just take him to the edge of the cliff? I have to remember the places we've dealt with in their entirety.It must also be drawn as a map and informed to the guards in the city, and Taiban said that he would go to those places every day to renew his magic.He told me: "This is because the natural force will reject the abnormal concentration of magic power in a certain place." This kind of inexplicable and incomprehensible words.

It turned out that the magic trap really succeeded in catching something.One morning we ran to see where the magic trap had been set up, only to hear screams that made my hair stand on end. Both Taiban and I were terrified, wondering if it could be an ogre or a gargoyle, and guessed from the voice, it might also be a banshee... The two of us exchanged opinions, walked over cautiously, and saw Jemini desperately tried to escape.But no matter how much she ran, she couldn't get away from a circle with a radius of ten cubits, she just went around in circles. As soon as Jemini was rescued, she stared at the two of us, who were laughing, with a look of rage.I pressed my forehead and said:

"Jamie, what the hell are you doing here?" "I just wanted to see what the hell you two were doing..." Taiban murmured: "Although curiosity is a shortcut to discovery, it is also a shortcut to ruin your body." Strange words like these made Jemini join our patrol team. In the afternoon, we walked into the Song of Santrella.Taiban, who told many adventures without repeating even one, had begun to gain popularity among the village children and drunkards.So in the afternoon, the children would surround him, and in the evening, the disciples would surround him.Since my assistant job is done, in the afternoon I will do some daily tasks such as distributing candles in the village, or go to practice swords.Although "practicing the sword" sounds nice, it is actually not much different from my father's "practicing the gun".

One day we finished our patrol and were heading back to the village for an afternoon mission. thunder?God.I was startled and looked towards where the scream came from.That is the direction of the barren hills to the east of the village.I immediately remembered that magical traps had been set there.If you pass nearby, it will burst into flames. Taiban said solemnly: "Is Jamie here?" "...Yes." Jemini replied angrily. "Then it's not Jamie. What the hell is under my spell?" "Really like ghosts. How would they want to come in there?" "Didn't I say that. I set the trap there after I imagined the route of the monster entering the village. Let's go and have a look. Jamie? The two of us will check the situation first. You go to the city and ask them to send The guards came to support us. But they might split into two groups, so I asked the Self-Defense Forces not to come, but to guard the village."

"You're talking too long!" "Tell the security team to go to the barren hills, tell the self-defense team not to move, and stay in the village." "understood!" Jamie ran out immediately, so fast that her skirt flew up.I tried to run in the direction of the screams, but Taiban stopped me. "What the hell are you thinking? Do you want to create a heroic legend of a blind wizard and a rookie warrior? Go carefully and slowly. It is best to let the guards follow." "But if you let them into the village..." "It's difficult, isn't it?"

I was about to ask him what he meant, but at this moment, the barren hills in the distance burst into flames.No, it's glitter.Anyway, there is a light that is so intense that it makes people's eyes bulge out, constantly flickering.I closed my eyes, but Taiban couldn't see, and Taiban said with satisfaction: "Although I don't know what it is, they probably want to turn around and run away? They don't know that my specialty is the connection of magic." "what does this mean!" God!Looking at the sky, I couldn't continue talking.All the clouds rushed to the direction of the barren hills.Wouldn't it be thunderous?Boom!Well, it really thundered.

"It will probably be burnt to black. If it is not a particularly powerful monster, it will probably have passed out." But this time Taiban got it wrong.We still heard the hoarse growling. "It seems to be a really powerful monster. Hurry up, Xiuqi!" "Yes! Please grab this!" I held out the one-handed greatsword, and as soon as Taiban grabbed it, I started running with Taiban.It’s true to say that you can run, but how fast can a blind man in Yitaiban run?So we were literally jogging. As soon as we were out of the village, the roar felt closer.It seems that during this period, those guys are also running in our direction.They probably planned to attack this village by surprise, but because they fell into Taiban's trap, the plan failed, so they started running here at full speed, and I could already see the appearance of those guys from a distance.What's wrong, my legs can't move! "What kind of monster is it?" "The head was that of a ox, and the body was that of a man, exceeding seven cubits in height." "My God, is it a tauren? How many are there?" "Ten...two! Twelve!" "Please! What kind of bird village is this? It's fine if there are tauren, not one, but twelve!" As soon as the tauren spotted us, he raised his huge battle-axe and rushed towards us roaring.Although it's a bit embarrassing to say, I instantly felt a little hot and humid under my crotch.There was the sound of the ground shaking.The axes were as wide as my chest and as long as I was tall.If people used it, they would probably call them giant axes, but in the hands of tauren, they can only be regarded as battle axes.My goodness!They are waving a big ax with one hand, while rushing here.Because they were hit by Taiban's magic, they were covered with bruises, and one of them was probably burnt black because of the lightning spell, but they still ran here aggressively. "Distance and direction!" I immediately grabbed Taiban's right hand and let him know the direction. "Three hundred and fifty cubits, no, three hundred and thirty cubits, no no, three hundred cubits..." hateful!They keep coming, so the distance keeps changing.Taiban sneered and said: "Damn it, you can't see it with your eyes, and you can't even use magic missiles, the most elementary magic." The tattoos on Taiban's body began to glow.Although the tauren was taken aback, he ran towards this side even more frantically.They probably want to attack us before the spellcasting process is complete.I really want to leave Taiban behind and run back alone.I'm starting to envy Taeban who can't see anything.Taiban began to chant the incantation, and then stretched his hands forward. "Since my eyes can't see, use other eyes instead!" At this moment, a tauren realized that he probably couldn't get there in time, so he threw the battle ax in his hand.What was frightening was that the heavy battle ax flew straight towards Tai Ban. "I'm fighting with you!" I yelled and rushed over.I pulled out the one-handed giant sword, dropped the scabbard, and stabbed down with the sword.when!O my wrist!I managed to miss the line of the tomahawk.Even I thought it was a miracle.But when I went to hit something so heavy and flying at such a high speed, it felt like my whole arm was about to break off.Taiban blinked his eyes (what could he see!), and finally finished casting the spell. "Destroy all enemies, Balrog!" what is this!A gigantic creature ten cubits in length with a shiny black body appeared in front of me. I sat down on the ground, looking at the ten-cubit tall humanoid monster surrounded by black smoke that smelled of sulfur.On its head, even the tauren have to call it big brother, about one cubit long horns.On closer inspection, it was actually the horn on its helmet.He is covered in pitch black armor.Since he was so dark, I couldn't even make out its outline, so I couldn't tell if it was its skin or its armor.This guy named Balrog holds a double-edged machete in his left hand and a huge multi-headed whip in his right hand. The whip he uses is a "nine-tailed cat" with sharp metal nails everywhere.In case of being hit, the flesh and blood will definitely be torn. I was just thankful that the Balrog turned his back to me when he turned his head.God!It has no face!Under the helmet, all I could see was a patch of paint.The infinite blackness that I occasionally see in my dreams. "Who is the enemy?" The Balrog seemed to be asking Taiban, but where exactly was its voice coming from?I heard voices in the air and panicked.Taiban yelled loudly: "Oh, how stupid! Was it not the tauren or who?" "In what way?" "Extinction!" The Balrog turned his head and slowly began to fly over...Huh?fly over?It's flying that's right.It suddenly spread its pitch-black wings from behind and flew up.I reckon its wings were at least twelve cubits long.It flew up four cubits gracefully, and then began to charge towards the tauren.It made a rustling sound as it passed through the air. "Coax~!" The tauren growled and swung his axe.But the Balrog fell to the ground with a light movement, and immediately swung his whip, curling up the tauren's arm holding the axe.Then it pulls hard. Cluck!Heck! The tauren's arm was forcibly pulled out by it.It swung the whip with its right hand again, and swung it in the opposite direction with its left.The machete in the left hand split the tauren in half, and the whip in the right hand wrapped another tauren's neck.The Balrog began to shake the entire tauren that was entangled. "Goo!" The Balrog made no cry.It swung the tauren hanging from the whip like an urchin playing with a frog, and the surrounding tauren jumped away.The Balrog began to move on.It swung the tauren wrapped in its right hand like a meteor hammer. Once it knocked down other tauren, it would step on it with its feet, and then stab the tauren lying on the ground with a machete.To describe this scene as spectacular, it is too terrifying.But it was a great fight... "what is that?" This is not my voice.At some point, the guards who rushed over had all come behind us.Seeing this strange scene, the guards did not dare to run over casually.So I hurried to explain to them. "That black guy was summoned by Taiban! It's from the same country as us!" Turner, one of the guards, said with a confused face: "Really? Is it really from the same country as us? I don't want to be from the same country as it. Isn't that the Balrog?" "Huh? Turner, you know this kind of thing?" The guards also looked at Turner.Turner looked at Tyban and said: "Mr. Wizard, I thought it was Balrog, right? Just look at its whip, right?" "right." "Then why did the Balrog from the Abyss Demon Realm help us?" "Didn't Xiu Qi say it, I summoned it!" Turner's mouth fell open.The rest of the security guards and I all made crazy expressions of curiosity, but Turner turned a blind eye to us and continued to say to Taiban: "But what you have attracted is not a goblin, but a demon!" "Hehe, you're not bad. I also know the fairy summoning of elves." "It's just common sense...but how could you call it? Isn't it something that can be summoned? Doesn't it exist like a human?" "You are right. I temporarily moved it here from the labyrinth of the Abyssal Demon Realm. This is not considered a summoning, but a spatial movement." "Then why should it help you fight?" "Because it's an agreement with me." "What, what agreement?" "It's very simple. It made an appointment with me to help me eliminate the person I want to eliminate. From another perspective, I provide him with blood. It should be drawing blood now." Before he knew it, the Balrog had completely wiped out the tauren.Although there were a few who wanted to escape, it followed Taiban's words and managed to "exterminate" them all.The mighty tauren, which even dozens of people might not be able to defeat, was simply eliminated in this way. The last tauren burst into screams and blood, and then the Balrog turned his head.It's like you don't care about what you just did.It spread its wings and flew towards here.It seemed that even the sky had darkened. The soldiers retreated with screams of panic, drawing their long swords one after another.Although I also wanted to escape, my legs just didn't listen.The Balrog landed in front of Taiban, then turned his head to the soldiers behind him.Its voice was heard again in the air. "Do these people want it too?" I understood what it said, and immediately screamed, but the soldiers tilted their heads.Taiban said in a panic: "What? You bastard, don't!" "Then send me back." "What's the matter? Is there something urgent?" "Some adventurers have entered my labyrinth. I was about to destroy them when you called me here." "Is that so?! Hmm... I suddenly can't remember the space bending teleportation technique." The Balrog suddenly raised the whip that was stained with tauren blood, and I yelled almost suffocating screams.Although the Balrog was still standing as if he was about to hit Taiban, Taiban, who was invisible, was still giggling. The Balrog stood there with his arms raised, while the soldiers seemed ready to die and wanted to rush straight up.But after a while, the Balrog dropped his whip. "Remember it!" "Listen to your voice, you probably will beat those adventurers to pieces as soon as you go back?" The Balrog looked down at Taiban speechlessly for a moment, and then said darkly: "Listen, Taiban. You are not the same Taiban you used to be. If the wizard is blind, it is as good as dead. I am surprised that you are still alive." The Balrog spoke like something corporeal grazed his skin, hurting me and the soldiers.But Taiban replied as if nothing had happened: "so what?" "When I made an agreement with you before, it was because I had no choice. Blood for violence, this agreement is not bad. But with you now, I can easily kill you with just one finger .” "so what?" "Send me back quickly. I still abide by the agreement with you, so you have to treat me with honor." Smiling, Taiban began to chant the mantra, shook his arms, and said: "Go down, unlucky devil. Those adventurers are probably all gone." The Balrog disappeared surrounded by black smoke just like when it appeared.It gave off the choking sulfur smell again. It wasn't until the Balrog disappeared that the plain we were on seemed to return to normal, and it felt like the sun was shining again.When the Balrog was around, although the sun was still shining, it felt like night.Anyway, I was relieved when it disappeared, and I wanted to lie down on the ground, but Taiban called me again immediately. "Let's go, assistant. You have to clean up the tauren corpses. Where they are enchanted, you have to cast the spell again." "Taiban, my legs are too weak to move now." "Look, I have such a dishonest assistant. Do I have to change someone?" "What did you say? Who did you live to this day because of?" "Huh? What does that mean?" "When you were casting a spell just now, the tauren threw the ax over! If I hadn't blocked it, you would have been thrown into the ditch by now!" Taiban had a surprised expression for a moment.He asked the soldiers: "Look, is there a tomahawk around here?" "There is one." After Turner said so, he ran to pick up the tomahawk I had blocked.His expression became confused. "Is it too heavy?" Tai Ban sneered and said: "Speaking of which, Xiu Qi is still my savior? Good! Tell me what you want. I'll help you achieve it." "Really?" "But maybe you will say some ridiculous wishes, so think about it slowly. Do what you need to do first. It will be because the things that swarm with the corpses are not just flies." We went to the scene of the tragedy caused by the Balrog, collected the bodies of the tauren and burned them, and packed up their weapons.The tauren battle axes are a bit too big for humans to use, so probably only a few will be kept as trophies as souvenirs, and the rest will be thrown into the melting furnace for reuse.The pile of tauren corpses was very large, and the fire burned for a long time, and the fire was not completely extinguished until almost every villager came to visit it. There is a very good thing to say: I became a hero in the eyes of the boys in the village.I don't know how the news got out, anyway, I became Taiban's warrior who risked his life to guard him when he was chanting a spell and was defenseless.It doesn't matter, it's true.But even if the sun comes out from the west, I can't block the ten tomahawks that are flying like rain, right? Isn't this a matter of course? (Do I have ten arms?) But everyone who listened believed it. Jamie suddenly went into a state of emergency.The girls tried to get close to me all the time, so Jemini always followed me with a sad face.But I really don't have time to spend with the girls around me. "What should I ask Taiban to do? Tell him to make a magic candle making machine?" "Xiu Qi... isn't that too nasty?" Jamie is right.Hey, this is really a problem.Although Taiban said that he would help me realize my wish, what wish should I ask him for?Jamie offered her opinion. "Don't think too complicated, how about some money?" "Are you asking for money? No. That doesn't sound very handsome. How can a warrior who rescues a princess ask for money?" "That's just a story." "Not yet. Is there anything else? Want him to add magic to my sword?" "That's an old story too. What are you doing with a magic sword?" "Huh? Is that so?" I thought about it, even if I have a magic sword, there seems to be nothing special I can do.I'm just a future candlemaker in the territory of Hetante. I will probably take over my father's position and continue to deliver candles to the lord and his descendants.If I'm unlucky, I'll marry Jemini and teach my kids how to make candles, and I'll live my life like that.In any case, there's no room for magic swords here. "Ah! I don't know. Just ask him to increase my strength!" Jemini looked at me with a puzzled expression.I shrugged and said: "If you have a lot of strength, isn't it very convenient? Whether it's carrying things or carrying candles, it's very convenient. There shouldn't be any harm, right? Even if it's not the case, I already find it annoying to do push-ups." "But... this seems too animal." "Is that so? So what. Aren't you an animal?" "what do you mean?" I find it annoying to think about it, and now that I've come up with this pretty good idea, I'm starting to feel happy.So Jemini and I ran to Santrera's Song on the way, looking for Taiban who was idle and had nothing to do.Taiban laughed for a while when he heard my wish. "What's the reason?" "It is convenient to move things, and it is also convenient to do things." Tai Ban listened to my reasons and laughed again for a long time.What the hell is so funny?Taiban laughed until tears were about to flow, and then asked me to bring his bag.As soon as I handed the bag to him, he opened it and started rummaging inside.Only relying on the touch of his fingertips, Taiban easily found what he was looking for. "Take this." While he was talking, what he put on the table was a pair of strangely shaped gloves.what is this?I thought he would give me some magic medicine, how could he give me gloves?The glove is made of black leather, and the upper part of the back of the hand is connected to the side of the palm with a silver metal ring, covering the surface without gaps.Except for the back and palm of the hand connected by the metal ring, the other parts can move freely, and it seems that it will not be inconvenient to move like the knight's iron gauntlet.While everyone around me looked on curiously, I put the gloves on my hands. I didn't feel any difference.I tried clenching and relaxing my fists, but other than the weird feeling of wearing gloves, it didn't feel like anything special.I asked Taiban and said: "What is this? It doesn't seem to be any different after wearing it?" Taiban laughed, and asked Jemini to bring a piece of firewood piled in a corner of the tavern.Jamie handed the firewood to Taiban, who immediately handed it to me and said: "You look around." What does it mean?They didn't tell me to chop, but they asked me to pull.I couldn't figure out the situation, so I took the firewood and pulled it to both sides.The firewood broke in two immediately. "laugh?" Aunt Heina said in admiration.Not believing it to be my own doing, I took turns looking at the firewood I was holding in each hand. "This, this, what's going on here?" "Hey, now you look hard with both hands." Tyban said so.I exerted force on my hand in a daze.Clap!The firewood shattered like a toothpick in an instant.I crushed those little firewood sticks. "what?" Jamie said in admiration.People around all ran to look at those little firewood sticks with incredible expressions.One of the drinkers handed over his bronze wine glass with a confused expression. "Xiu Qi, this, look around." "no!" It was too late for Aunt Heina to stop it.I've tore that wine glass in half.To tear this bronze goblet is as easy as to cut an apple.The drunkards who saw this scene immediately turned to surprised expressions, and began to pull their wine glasses vigorously.There is no way at all.The wine glass is not a piece of cloth, and it is absolutely impossible to split it on both sides when it is pulled.It might be possible to shatter it with a wreck or hit it with a mallet, but it's absolutely impossible to split it in half properly. But I did it! "How could this be, this kind of glove that looks like monster skin..." "You have to remember. It only increases physical strength. It has nothing to do with health or stamina and so on. So even if you wear it, it will not be able to please those girls." I made a disappointed expression and was immediately pinched by Jemini.Jemini immediately yelled desperately: "Taiban!" "I know, I know. Anyway, it's like what you said, it's good for moving things. From now on, your arms are strong enough to take out the heart of a live bear, so be careful Use it. Don’t be so stupid as to turn your bread into powder the moment you grab it, and end up starving. Remember to take it off when you eat.” "Ah, yes...but it's a precious thing, isn't it?" "No matter how precious it is, it can't compare to my life. Don't feel burdened, just accept it." "You asked me to accept it? You won't want to go back again? Use Ubinie to follow..." "I swear in the name of Hoganez. Okay? Hey, really. Although I have promised to help people fulfill their wishes many times, this is the first time someone told me such a simple and ridiculous wish."
"I'm here to help!" "Then please!" "Do you want me to help you?" "Come here! That's all!" I started running around the village, helping people here and there with all my might.Help with everything from moving logs, to erecting pillars for a construction site, to fetching water from a well. But I haven't learned how to adjust the strength yet.I wanted to move the wood, but I scratched the wood into pieces. They told me to insert the pillars into the ground. As soon as I inserted them, the entire pillars were buried in the ground, and I couldn't see them.When you pull the rope when you want to fetch water, the bucket seems to jump up, flying too high, splashing the people next to you with water. "Xiu Qi! I beg you, can you stop wearing those gloves all the time?" This request is too harsh for me.Tell me to stop doing such a fun thing.But once, when I wanted to comfort a crying child, I just tossed him lightly into the sky, and he flew a hundred cubits in the sky. Mom killed it.After this incident, I reluctantly took off my gloves. "Pfft ha ha ha!" That very night, Taiban was laughing in Santrella's song.Because I had reported to him what had happened that day with my head down.The alcoholics next to him also laughed. "Oh, I'm dying laughing. Hee hee, hee hee!" Taiban laughed so hard that he wanted to roll on the ground.I said angrily: "Is there no way to adjust the strength of this thing?" "You guy. The way to adjust your strength is to experience it yourself. If someone trains himself to become stronger, he will learn how to adjust his strength during the training process. But you have great strength without training, so Had to work hard for a while." Ok.It sounds reasonable.I nodded. "I can understand. But there is still a problem. If you want to experience how to adjust, you should keep exerting strength, but every time I use it, something will happen." "You kid, it's because of your brain that you keep running to do things that will go wrong. There is really nothing you can do about it. If you continue like this, the whole village will be destroyed by you, so from tomorrow I will help Hello."
The next day, with a feeling of unease, I ran to the Song of Santrera. Taiban clearly said to help me, which probably meant to guide me.Being a wizard's apprentice... sounds awesome.Although he is blind and a wizard, he can command the Balrog at will, and he might also be proficient in blind swordsmanship and the like.Although I don't know if there is such a thing as blind swordsmanship in the world, it seems to appear often in previous stories, doesn't it?So I went into Song of Santrella in full gear. As I was walking on the main road in the village, I had to sigh when I saw people running away quietly as soon as they spotted me.Well, anyway, as soon as I entered the song of Santrella, I found Taiban drinking milk, as usual. "Taban! Let's go." "Got it. Really, why are you so excited today?" Then, just like every day's itinerary, we first go to the city.Although I looked excited, Taiban yawned and walked slowly.When we arrived at the castle, the guards had finished their breakfast as usual and were coming out of the city picking their teeth.Taiban says: "Did I say I'd help you? Hello, Turner. Is Turner there?" Turner came running.Taiban heard his footsteps and said before he could speak: "I have something to ask of you! Can you tidy up the training ground?" "Huh? What's the matter..." Taiban whispered something to Turner, and Turner made a surprised expression. "Huh? How is it possible..." "Because of this guy's head, you have to do it. Did you hear what happened to this guy yesterday?" "Really. Your personality is really weird. I know." Then Taiban folded his arms across his chest and began to wait.I looked at Turner blankly, and Turner looked at me with regretful eyes, and said: "There is no way. Listen! All the guards in the training ground, all line up in four rows, and sit on the left side of the training ground." "why?" "Mr. Wizard said to let you watch a good show." The soldiers retreated back with expectant expressions, and sat down after the whole group.Turner said: "Ready." "Really? Xiu Qi, you stand in the middle of the training ground." Although I didn't know the reason, I walked over obediently as he said.Wow!It's really lonely.Standing in this position will make people around you pay close attention to every move.Taiban nodded at the embarrassment he couldn't see, and then he put his hands together and began to cast spells.What the hell is he doing? "Wow! Look at that!" The soldiers all showed amazed expressions.As soon as Taiban began to chant the mantra, it seemed as if something had burrowed through the ground in front of my eyes. The soil bounced with a crackling sound, and small stones flew everywhere.I was taken aback, so after a while, shapes started appearing on the ground.The figure was a huge circle with other complicated patterns and characters drawn inside. As soon as the pattern was completed, black smoke began to be emitted, along with the smell of sulfur.Ok?Isn't this a show?Is he going to call the Balrog again?As I stared at the figure, my eyes almost popped out.Then the light appeared on the pattern again, extending out in all directions in a circular shape. After a while, the light disappeared completely, and I found something standing inside it. That's Shan Sen!No, no, ogres! Shockingly broad shoulders, a thin waist, and thighs as thick as mine.It looks like the word "destruction" is written all over its body.Strong physique, even if it is estimated to be a little less, the height is six cubits, but the shoulders are three cubits wide.The ugly head is terrifyingly large, but compared with the shoulders, the head looks very small.The weapon in his hand couldn't tell whether it was a knife or an axe, but it looked a lot like a Kopesi knife.Ordinary blades are separated from the handle, but the blade and handle of the Kopeixi knife are made of the same piece of iron.The destructive power of this weapon lies not so much in the blade as in its weight.Seems like a good fit for an ogre? I really thought about so many things in a short moment.Tyban asked Turner: "Looks like it's out already, doesn't it?" "Yes, yes, yes. Are you really calling for this thing?" "Okay. Xiu Qi? Go ahead." He, he, what did he say?What does it mean?Tell me to go up and fight the ogre? "Ah, one thing I forgot to tell you, that glove is OPG." "OPG?" "Ogre Power Gauntlet." (Ogre Power Gauntlet) "what!" God!Why didn't I think of it?Then I remembered something Karl told me: "Brother Nieder, there are differences between monsters and humans even in realizing their own subjectivity. Humans, let's take you as an example: imagine that one day you are walking on the road and find a person who looks exactly like you and speaks in a tone of voice. The same man came over. He was startled when he saw you, and asked you who you are, how do you feel? Maybe you will go crazy. But the human spirit is elastic, so in After the surprise wears off, you probably start to wonder how this could have happened. For example, you might think you have a twin brother you've never met. But monster spirits are not as resilient as humans. Once your own subjectivity受到威胁，它们就会盲目地想要杀掉对方。所以如果得到了附有怪物能力的物品固然是件好事，但同时也是件危险的事。拿到'蜥蜴怪之心'的人，虽然被红龙吐出的火焰喷到，也可以放心，但万一遇上了蜥蜴怪，那可就危险了。而拿到'食人魔力量手套'的人虽然可以跟魔像一较力量的高下，但是一旦迈上了食人魔，就非得战斗到其中一方死亡为止。” 战斗到其中一方死亡为止？God!那只食人魔吓了一跳，朝周围左顾右盼，接着就开始瞪着就在面前的我。那一瞬间，食人魔的太阳穴开始蠕动。 “嘎勒勒勒……那个手套！” 我还给您啦，真是对不起，我原来根本不知道这是OPG，这是那个瞎子巫师给我的，您看一下那个巫师，他是不是长得一副奸诈相？跟他比起来我怎么样呢，您大概没看过如此纯真无比的脸庞吧？ 为什么它一句话都不讲呢？食人魔好像一副不予置评的样子，举起了科培西刀，就开始大喊。 “呱啊啊啊！” “泰——班——！我，一定要——宰——了——你！” 食人魔看见我戴着OPG，连理由也不问一声，就开始对我挥动科培西刀了。这次我胯下没湿，反而拔出了巨剑，我自己想来也觉得有些得意。因为科培西刀动得非常慢，所以我能够勉强地看到它并把它挡下来。Bang!这是刀跟刀相碰的声音吗？我感觉好像全身的关节都散了。 泰班不知道在高兴什么，嗤嗤地笑着，然后走到房子里去了。很令我惊讶的是，透纳居然只是叹了口气，然后走到坐在那里的士兵面前。 “全部都只要静静地看着就好。把这句话传给旁边的人。” 透纳这样说完，又跟最左边的士兵说了一些话，然后他们依次传达下去。士兵们都转为惊讶的表情，开始一人说一句。 “虽然巫师的性情都很乖僻，但这个也太……” “嗯，这意思就是说，如果死了也是没有办法的事，如果活了下来，他才要好好进行指导吧？” “他说如果修奇快死了，我们再出手？” “嗯，修奇，为了让我们轻松一点，你就算要死也等负了些伤再死吧。” 我快被他们逼疯了，从我嘴里冒出了真正毒得不能再毒的诅咒： “你们这些人，洞房花烛夜的时候全——部——性——无——能！” 士兵们开始捧腹大笑。Damn it!要士兵等我快死了再出手？那不就是现在吗？食人魔片刻也不手下留情，好像急着想要看看能把我的身体分成几段似地，直冲了过来，我则是慌乱地挥着手臂挡它。如果从冷静的观察者来看，这会是相当精采的一幕，可惜我不是冷静的观察者，而是受害的当事者。再加上我还是一样不会调整力道，所以一旦我全力向右挥动手臂，甚至全身就开始向右转。因为我采取了这种怪异的动作，所以食人魔的科培西刀不是挥到出乎我意料的地方，就是在意想不到的地方挡住了我的剑。但是说起武器相碰时的感觉……如果不是OPG，我的手臂早就断了，但是现在我跟食人魔的力气是一样大的。 Huh?correct.我们力气一样，不是吗？ “你这家伙！你跟我的力气一样大！这么说来……去死吧！” “呱啊！” 哇，吓了一跳。因为我看到自己所做的事，太过吃惊，所以全身紧绷了起来。我在食人魔的腰上划出了漂亮的剑痕。食人魔一开始喷血，它就迟疑了，开始后退。如果我是稍微有一点经验的战士，就不会错失这一瞬间，而会冲过去解决它，但我却只是失了魂似地站在那里看。 “修奇！你这家伙！现在快冲过去啊！” 因着士兵们的高喊，我突然恢复了神智。但是食人魔也已经摆好了姿势，将刀子拿在胸前对准我。唉唷，真可惜！我不得已，只好像它一样，在面前竖起了剑，进入了对峙的状态。我们随便将武器乱挥一阵，接着战斗正进入第二个阶段。我跟食人魔都很慎重地移动脚步，开始绕着圆圈走动。当然比较慎重的是食人魔那一边，而我则只是哭丧着脸，往食人魔的反方向移动而已。但是如果除去我的表情不论，这依然是很精彩的一幕场景。士兵们赞叹地说： “了不起！这步法很不错耶？” “你把脚更紧贴地面，用滑行的方法移动！” 我气得胸部都快炸开了。 “你们不要只是在那里动嘴好不好，快来帮我，你们全部都是杀人共犯！” “咦，狗在叫？还是鸡在叫？” “因为泰班的拜托，所以我们不能帮你。你快死的时候，我们就会去帮忙。” “喂，我们决定一下，要是修奇运气不好死在这里，谁要去通知杰米妮？抽个签怎么样？” “啊！我不要。我抽签的手气最差了！” 这些家伙还算是人吗？我向贺加涅斯发誓，要是我没死，我绝对不会放过这些士兵！不，要不要现在就动手？ “喂，食人魔老兄。我先去对付那些士兵，等一下再来跟你打，好不好？” 食人魔对我提议的回答，就是用科培西刀高高举起，猛力向下一劈。what!这个我早有准备了！我的意思是，我已经决心利用“只要我手臂一挥，全身就会转动”的事实。所以我从下往上挥剑，将食人魔的刀弹开，顺势一个后空翻，再次从下往上一击。食人魔害怕下巴被我的巨剑砍中，连忙往后退。我的剑为什么这么短！ “哇！！好帅啊，修奇！” 我气喘吁吁地后退。其实就算我已经做到了，我还是对这个动作很怀疑。我真的这么做了吗？但是证据马上就出现了。我的腰痛到快断了。 “呜……这真不是开玩笑的。” 腰部一麻痹，连全身都动不了了。但是食人魔下巴差点被砍到，虽然很生气，却也不敢冲过来。它好像已经感受到它的慢刀如果对我一击不中，那它自己就危险了。食人魔开始量距离。what!惨了，它的手臂可比我长多了！如果给予它适当的距离，那对我就更加不利了。既然这样，那我就主动去抓适合我的距离吧！ "ah!" 我向前直冲。如果进到比它的刀还更里面一些，也就是在食人魔的手臂距离之内，它就不能拿我怎么样了。杉森跟巨魔打的时候不就这样做过了吗？我随手挥着巨剑，冲了过去。 但是那家伙比我有经验多了。呜，可恶，它的脚突然向我踢来。我的肚子被如同城柱一样粗的腿踢中，于是向后飞了出去。在地上滚动的我眼中，浮现了食人魔跳到天空中逆光的黑影。它好像要顺势用科培西刀向下劈。但就在这时。 "go to hell!" 就算它再厉害，在空中也很难移动身体。我将腰一挺，巨剑直直地向上刺去。 “咕呜！” 在科培西刀将我的头劈开之前，我就利用它落下来的力道刺穿了它的腹部。食人魔的口中开始流血。我办到了！ 但是食人魔虽然已经被刺中，仍然举起了刀子。what! “我的剑被卡在它的肚子里。你们那些人还在干嘛？现在来救我啊，啊，没时间了！”食人魔发出了怪声，拿科培西刀砸了下来。 “杰米妮——！” 再见了，那些与其说亲密，还不如说常常是冤家的朋友们。再见了，与其说爱过，还不如说是惨不忍睹的我这十七年的人生。再见了，我的蜡烛锅。现在还有谁会把你们擦得亮晶晶的？蜡烛匠就应该活得像个蜡烛匠，没事跑去当什么巫师的弟子……我现在已经是有过死亡经验的人，我可以跟你们解释，所谓死亡就是……咦？在士兵们的嗤笑声中，一脸茫然地坐在地上？ 我还是维持着剑刺向天空的姿势，迷迷糊糊地坐在练兵场中央。士兵们开始笑到在地上滚。透纳呵呵笑着说： “呵，呵，你这家伙。假的啦。” 所谓假的意思就是不真，如果不是真的，那这就是假的…… “幻象术！” 结果我噗通一下子躺到地上去了。泰班，泰班！这个该死的老头，居然骗我！哎，我真委屈，我真委屈死了！士兵们真正开始取笑我了。 “听到没？'杰米妮——！'真是帅呆了。” “对啊。哎，真是羡慕啊。我临死的时候要喊谁的名字呢？老妈？” “喂，修奇。你那时候不该那样喊。其实你应该学骑士们这样说：'拥有我灵魂钥匙的高贵仕女杰米妮啊！'” 我眨了眨眼，站了起来。士兵们的嗤笑声渐渐停了下来。过了一阵子之事，这些士兵都用不安的眼神望着我。 "Shu Qi?" 我作出了我所能作出最恐怖的表情。 “你们要不要试试看，你们临死前会喊谁的名字？” 向前突击！士兵们开始在练兵场里狂奔，我面目狰狞地追了过去。但是士兵们还是游刃有余地一面逃跑，一面取笑我。 “杰米妮！你的骑士要来杀我们了。救命啊！” “哇——！我绝不放过你们！” 为什么OPG不会加快人跑步的速度？那一天早上我才体会到，要追上每天练习跑步的士兵，不是件容易的事！
