018 Finding the Right Familiar
Although the children in the countryside have no knowledge and do not understand any great principles, they have strong independent hands-on ability. More than 20 children work together to divide the work and work together. One group of them dig the foundation on the spot. Even if they build thatched house, they have to make a foundation, otherwise it will take a few days to build the thatched house. A few girls went to pick up straw and dead branches, and another group of older and more powerful children were preparing to carry tools to cut back some larger solid wood to make the brackets for the thatched house.
Seeing the children busy, Liang Lidong felt that he had nothing to do here. He said to Kyle, who was about to help, "Don't rush over, I need your help. You said yesterday that there are many ferocious beasts on the mountain in the north of the village. Can you take me to see it? I have something to do."
Kyle was happy on his face: "Okay, no problem."
Young people are prone to impulsiveness, and newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. If adults hear Liang Lidong's request, there are many beasts on the northern mountain, and they will probably have to think about it again and again for their own safety. However, Kyle is not afraid. He ran home and took his iron sword out, and then took Liang Lidong to the north mountain with excitement. After walking through the two hills, there was a higher and larger mountain range in front of him. Several peaks stretched to the distance, and lush forests covered the entire mountain range. Because of the high terrain, you can see smoke and clouds on the mountain.
"The largest mountain group in the north is ahead, and there are many beasts living in it, including big snakes, big tigers, and tirvana that are several meters long." Kyle looked a little angry: "Now in summer, they have something to eat in the woods, so they rarely come near our village. But if it is winter, when the mountains are blocked with heavy snow, beasts will rush into the village from time to time, and it is nothing to do with cattle and sheep. Last year, the youngest daughter of the Nicholas family was taken away by the tiger."
The roar of beasts faintly came from the other side of the mountain. Liang Lidong nodded and said that he knew that he had seen many such things in the game and had personally participated in the mission of killing beasts near the village.
"Teacher, what are you going to do when you come here?" Kyle asked curiously.
"I plan to contract a magic pet." It is not strange that the caster has a magic pet, and there is no need to hide it: "I want to do a lot now. The magic pet is equivalent to the assistant of the caster. With it, what I want to do is much more convenient."
"Devil Pet?" This was the first time Kyle heard the term, and he continued to ask curiously: "What does that mean?"
"It is to use magic to embed a small part of your soul into the consciousness of natural creatures and merge with them." Liang Lidong tried his best to introduce to him in easy-to-understand words: "Because of obtaining the soul fragments and knowledge of the spellcaster, natural creatures will evolve into magic creatures and have special abilities. While retaining their own independent consciousness, they will be connected with the spellcaster's mind. It can be said that they are the special clone of the spellcaster, and it has the ability to learn, and the knowledge learned will be slowly fed back to the spellcaster's soul."
Kyle was shocked: "So amazing? The contract is ten and eight demon pets, so that they can read books, won't they have to learn in the future? And if you beat one of them a dozen, you will take advantage of it."
"How is that simple!" Liang Lidong smiled: "The demon pet can only contract one. There may be people who can contract more than two demon pets, but I have never heard of it. You said that ten or eight spell casters are the summoner profession. Summoning creatures are different from magic pets. First of all, summoning creatures belong to fantasy creatures, usually from the heavenly realm or the demon world. Their projection time in the main world is limited, and the time will naturally disappear. Moreover, the heavenly creatures and the demon world are difficult to control, and there are often cases where they do not obey orders. If you do not have special skills, you may be killed by summoned creatures. In addition to the heavenly realm and the demon world creatures, the other two more special summoners are necromancers and necromancers. These two spellcasters are fun to play with corpses and everyone shouts to beat them. You don't need to know too much. If you have the opportunity to see these two kinds of people in the future, you will cut them, and if you can't beat them, you will run away. Do you understand?"
Kyle listened with relish and scratched his head and said, "Teacher, can you tell me something about the caster and the profession?"
"I'll tell you in detail if I have the chance in the future." Liang Lidong gently patted Kyle's head. Although he looked a few years older than a boy, this movement was a natural look, and the latter didn't think it was strange. He said slowly: "I want to contract a magic pet to enhance my strength now, so I have to find a more powerful beast. Come with me, and it's good to have a rising knowledge."
Kyle nodded hard, and he naturally wanted something like this.
With a finger, the fog driving skill was activated again. Kyle stood in it and felt very safe. He followed Liang Lidong, walked a few steps, and then exclaimed: "Teacher, the range of thick fog seems to be a little larger."
"Well, it's a radius of fifty meters." Liang Lidong smiled: "Because I'm a little stronger."
"If the contract is the magic pet, the teacher will become stronger." Kyle said enviously: "If I had the same strength as a teacher, I think my grandfather would not stop me from being a mercenary."
"I'm not strong now." Liang Lidong persuaded: "Your grandpa is also for your own good. After all, you are the only son of the Reed family and your parents are gone. If something happens to you, the Reed family will be defeated. Maybe you think it's easy to be a mercenary and travel around, but in fact, the life of a mercenary is very hard, and with your current ability, you are not enough to become a mercenary."
Kyle was a little dissatisfied: "I think I can do it. At least no one in the village except the teacher is my opponent. Also, I have also competed with some mercenaries in the city. Except for a few people I can't beat, no one else is my opponent."
"Mercenary in the city?" Liang Lidong smiled happily: "Can mercenaries you can beat even to be called mercenaries? Kyle, you have obviously been deceived. Once a real mercenary takes action, even if you don't die, you will lose half of your life, because they have been in danger for many years, and once they take action, they will be vital. This is already an instinct. My current strength is considered to be the bottom of the palace among mercenaries, but if I want to deal with you now, I don't need weapons or cast spells, and one hand is enough."
Kyle said dissatisfiedly: "Teacher, you are better than me, of course I believe it, but you said you can hit me with one hand without using magic. I don't believe it. No matter what, I have practiced swordsmanship."
"Strength is one aspect, and then mercenary common sense is the other." Liang Lidong stepped on a thorny vine, ignored the provocation of the little guy, and continued to walk up the mountain. Now the roars coming from the other side of the mountain are becoming more and more obvious: "Strength is just a stepping stone for mercenaries. To become a reliable mercenary, you have to learn a lot of skills. If you are not a spellcaster, you must know how to use multiple weapons to fight, maintain weapons and armor, because many times, you cannot use specialized weapons to fight. You have to learn to distinguish weather changes, basic botany, zoology, and warcraft; you have to know how to make fires in a humid environment without flint and without the help of a spellcaster. You have to know how to swim, know not to make sounds on the tree, know how to track prey, know how to counter-track..."
Kyle couldn't open his eyes when he heard this: "Mercenaries have to learn so much, so why do I see that many mercenaries don't look knowledgeable?"
"Mercenaries who cannot even master these basic knowledge generally do not live long."
Kyle suddenly felt a basin of ice water pouring on his head, and his face immediately cooled down: "The teacher is not a mercenary, how do you know what mercenaries should learn!"
"Who said I have never been a mercenary? I have at least six years of mercenary career." Liang Lidong added in his heart: It's just in the game.
Kyle's mouth was wide open.
"Look at my tender skin and tender flesh, the appearance of a noble young master, it doesn't look like it, right?" Liang Lidong turned around and asked with a smile.
Kyle nodded vigorously, and he swallowed: "The teacher is not much older than me. You said you have a six-year mercenary career. Did you become a competent mercenary when you were twelve or thirteen years old?"
"Who told you that I am only about twenty years old! Professionals are different from ordinary people. The stronger their strength, the longer their lifespan. You cannot judge a professional from the appearance of a professional." Liang Lidong explained: "I have seen a girl who looks like she is about twelve years old. She is so strong that she is already 174 years old. And she was still considered childhood at that time. She once told me in person that her adulthood was about 536 years old."
Kyle's mouth became bigger and could already hold his own fist: "What's the name of this girl? How could she live for so long?"
"The human-dragon mixed-race child, the Fire Dragon King Margaret, is the strongest humanoid creature." Liang Lidong continued to explain: "Generally speaking, human professions can live to about 140 years old. Even the stronger professions may be able to live to about 200 years old. If they have special bloodlines, their lifespan will become longer. Moreover, people with special bloodlines will look slightly different from ordinary people and are very conspicuous."
"For example, like a teacher?" Kyle pointed to Liang Lidong's bright and blond hair.
Generally speaking, ordinary people's blonde hair is dark, but Liang Lidong's bright and blond hair is different. It seems to have a faint light source, which is very eye-catching even in the dark, and has a very clean luster, just like soft golden crystal silk, which has to be said to be very beautiful.
Liang Lidong touched his hair. In the game, his hair color was not so conspicuous, similar to that of ordinary people, but now it is too "beautiful" and quite similar to Margaret's hair. The difference is that Margaret's hair is passionate and fiery red, and it is very long, almost to the heels.
Perhaps it is because of Yunlong's bloodline, Liang Lidong speculated.
Seeing that Liang Lidong did not answer, Kyle made the decision by the current person. He continued to ask: "Teacher, how old are you?"
"Guess!" Liang Lidong kept it a secret.
"How can I guess this?" Kyle was helpless.
Liang Lidong laughed and said, "I won't talk about these things for the time being. There is a tiger over there. Let's go and see if it's suitable for being a demon pet."
At this time, they had reached the side waist peak of the mountain, just at the edge of the forest. The range of the "Mist-Driving" skill was expanded. At this time, there were many red dots in the field of vision of the two people. At the edge of the thick fog, there was a larger red dot. The system prompted to open it, and it showed the system introduction of "Tiger in the Mountain Forest".
The two walked over. The tiger belonged to the family of the cat. Generally speaking, the hearing, vision, and smell of the cats were quite good. But when they walked fifty meters in front of the big cat, the tiger was still looking around and didn't know what was going on. The fog-driving skill deprived the tiger of most of its senses. Now it couldn't even see what was ahead clearly, and it was roaring in a low voice at a loss, looking very uneasy. The tiger had enough food and drink, and ran to the grass beside the forest to bask in the sun. Unexpectedly, it was wrapped in by Liang Lidong's "fog-driving" skill.
Although tigers are the king of woodlands, they can be used as natural creatures and are still a vulnerable group when encountering magic.
Liang Lidong opened the system function of the "Demon Pet" contract, and looked at the big cat who was hesitating and restless in front, and then checked the prompts given by the system.
Name: Mountain Tiger (Adult)
Race: Cat family (can be contracted as magic pets)
Contract expertise: silent movement
Liang Lidong nodded. Like in the game, after a cat becomes a monster, its specialty is indeed silently moving. The cat has strong attack power and various attack methods, so it can become a very strong combat-type magic pet. However, Liang Lidong's fog-driving skill has its own "silent movement". If you contract with the cat, there will be overlap in your expertise, which is a waste.
Bypassing the at a loss of big cat, Liang Lidong entered the woods, and Kyle followed behind and asked, "Teacher, isn't a tiger suitable? I think it has a strong combat power."
"The combat power is really good, but its combat expertise conflicts with my skills."
Kyle nodded, but he remembered a noun more and more, ‘fighting expertise’.
Many animals can become demon pets, but not all demon pets have sufficient combat power. For example, squirrels, sparrows, rabbits, etc. can all become demon pets. Their contractual expertise is also quite practical, but even after they become monsters, they will fight in an average battle and tend to be combat assistance. What Liang Lidong needs is a demon pet who has strong combat power and does not conflict with his own expertise in terms of expertise.
The two walked in the woods for a while, and Liang Lidong discovered another natural creature suitable for fighting magic pets: the python.
Name: Hundred dots yellow python
Race: Anaconda
Contract expertise: blind fighting
This python has actually discovered Liang Lidong and Kyle, but it did not attack because the distance between the two is more than fifty meters. In addition, the snake is actually very afraid of humans. Unless it is too hungry or threatened, it will generally not attack humans. The snake does not rely on vision and hearing to detect creatures, so the fog-driving skill has little effect on it. However, it is still affected by the reduced movement speed. It wants to escape these two terrifying human creatures, but it moves very slowly.
Blind fight, Liang Lidong was moved. The python after the magic pet was very powerful and there was no conflict in its expertise. However, Liang Lidong thought about it for a while and gave up. He had a real vision and could see things no matter in any environment. The combat expertise of blind fight was useless.
Leaving the scared python, Liang Lidong took Kyle to continue wandering in the woods, and soon encountered a new combat creature.
Name: Woodland Gray Wolf
Race:Canidae
Contract expertise: Spell patience
Spell patience is a very good auxiliary specialty, which can slightly increase the holder's magic resistance. The effect is average, but it is better than comprehensive. This effect can play a little role in any of the series. Moreover, as the holder's level increases, the effect will gradually become more obvious. Liang Lidong has seven points of willpower growth and has a very good resistance to magic. If he has spell patience, the effect will be better. It is difficult for ordinary magic to play a significant role in him.
Moreover, the combat ability of the canine family is quite good. Although it is not as strong as that of the cat family, it is at least much stronger than the auxiliary magic pets of squirrels and others.
Write it down first, go see other creatures before making a decision. The two continued to wander in the forest and encountered many wild animals. Liang Lidong wanted to see the insect-like magic pets, but found that there were no large insects in the woods. Even if the small insects turned into monsters, no matter how good their expertise, they would not be able to fight. They had to give up.
After walking for most of the day, the sun was about to set in front of him. Liang Lidong finally decided to treat the gray wolf as his contractual magic pet.
They soon caught a lonely gray wolf in the forest. Liang Lidong called out the magic pet contract system, and his body was covered with blue lightning, surrounded by small lightning sounds of Bilibili, and looked like a terrifying magician. Kyle frowned when he saw it. The gray wolf was lying on the ground, not daring to move, screaming, terrifying, afraid.
With the help of the system, Liang Lidong tear out a small piece of soul fragment from the sea of consciousness and condensed on his right index finger. In the game, when he contracted the magic pet, the soul fragments were blue, but now, his soul fragments were bright golden, just the same color as his hair.
Although it was more painful when tearing the soul than in the game, Liang Lidong still held back. He wiped the cold sweat from his head with his left hand, and was about to point the soul fragments on the index finger of his right hand into the gray wolf's brain. At this time, a chirping sound came from the top of his head. He subconsciously raised his head and a big bird with a green long tail feather, a white feather body, and a three-color feather crown flew over the top of his head. Because the fog-driving skill reduced the movement speed, the bird was very difficult and not fast.
The message of this green long-tailed feathered bird soon appeared in Liang Lidong's vision.
Name: Three-feathered Crown Falcon (semi-magic)
Race: Falcon (can be contracted as a magic pet)
Contract expertise: intuitive dodging, wise and spiritual light
Damn! Liang Lidong almost jumped up, and he actually had a double specialty creature, and a semi-magic natural creature. He had heard of such a special species between natural creatures and magical creatures in the game, but he had never seen it. It was a type that was hard to meet, but he did not expect that he would encounter it here.
"Kyle, help me catch this bird."
Liang Lidong shouted and chased after him. He now has a coordination value of 7.35. With the additional speed increase of the fog driving skill and agile movement, the person suddenly disappeared. Kyle was shocked to see it and hurriedly chased after him.
Chapter completed!
