Section 216: The Law of Safeguarding the Will(1/2)
Talking about the survivors’ need for an alchemist, Zong Ge felt curious: “Isn’t Master Qingxin good at alchemy too?”
Zidi shook her head: "Her best wind spell is called boosting wind, which can make the caravan travel faster and lighter."
Zong Ge understood immediately.
Zidi sighed: "Even if she is a mage trained by our Chamber of Commerce, her talent is not high. How many people at the bottom have strong bloodlines?"
Cang Xu consoled her: "To put it another way, if Master Qingxin had a strong talent, she might not be able to survive until now."
Then, the Necromancer changed the topic: "Speaking of Qingxin, I also learned an important piece of information from her."
"There is a secret gathering of necromancers that will be held on Weeping Pine Island."
"That was a rare gathering. Not only did they exchange information, but they also exchanged necromancy skills and traded resources for necromancy practice."
“I highly recommend attending.”
"We need a lot of undead cultivation resources, which are difficult to replenish elsewhere. Especially soul crystals, which have an irreplaceable role in Zidi and I's cultivation, and even in the treatment of our ghosts."
The dragon boy was silent for a moment: "Where is the location of Crying Song Island?"
Zidi brought up the sea chart and projected it on the wall: "Weeping Song Island is in this position... This direction is completely opposite to Ice Sculpture Island."
Cang Xu nodded: "But it's not far from us, isn't it?"
He had already prepared his words.
The Necromancer continued: "My suggestion is for me to go to Wailing Song Island alone, where I can attend a gathering of Necromancers in exchange for some resources."
"When the gathering is over and the necromancers disperse, we can still direct a battle there."
"After the battle, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group successfully killed the Necromancer, captured the Iron Pimple, and rescued many hostages such as humans and dwarves."
"Isn't this something that everyone is happy with?"
The dragon boy's heart suddenly moved: "In this way, the Tie Liao Da can be used by us. Maybe we can use this to recruit the boring stone?"
Zong Ge's voice came: "I agree to go to Wailing Song Island."
"It's precisely because its location is completely opposite to the Ice Sculpture Island."
"We can use this to deceive others and make a false shot."
"In addition, it is also very helpful for us that the Iron Pimple can be used normally. We are really short of mana ships."
The Deep Sea Monster Fish is the trump card and cannot be exposed easily.
"But if Qingxin gets on our ship, it means that our identity will be exposed!"
"She already knows the identity of Zidi and the Necromancer. Even if she doesn't know about Zidi and Zhenjin's shipwreck now, she can easily find out in the future."
"If she joins the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group again and learns the truth about the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, she will not be far away from coming into contact with our core secrets."
Zong Ge continued to speak bluntly: "So, I am very opposed to doing this!"
"No matter how much you trust this woman, I will not trust her easily."
"This is too risky for us!"
Zidi frowned and retorted: "I can vouch for her. Sister Qingxin was cultivated by my father. When the Ziteng Chamber of Commerce was divided, she remained anonymous and resisted in her own way. This proved her loyalty.
."
"Just looking at it before, in order to take care of the blond mother and son, she was willing to risk fighting and try her best to save these weak people, which is enough to show her kindness."
Zong Ge snorted coldly: "Zidi, your trust cannot replace my thoughts."
"Can you know her truest thoughts?"
"Even if she is loyal, won't she be controlled?"
"Think about your rebellion in the melee. If you can't even guarantee yourself, how can you guarantee others?"
"You!" Zi Di glared angrily.
She subconsciously looked at the dragon boy.
The dragon boy smiled at her and patted her shoulder gently, silently expressing comfort.
But the dragon boy did not express his opinion immediately, but asked Cang Xu: "What do you think?"
The old necromancer carefully remained silent. Now that he was named by the group leader, he could only say: "I agree with Zong Ge's view."
This answer made Zidi frown deeper.
However, the dragon boy always looked calm, as if he had expected it.
Although in terms of relationship, Cang Xu and Zi Di are closer than Zong Ge.
But in every decision, Cang Xu remains rational and objective, has his own independent thinking, and will not be fettered by external factors such as emotion and identity.
Cang Xu continued: "Qingxin really can't trust us yet."
"As far as the current situation is concerned, that's it."
"Our mutual trust is the solid foundation of Mysterious Island. As for Qingxin, in fact, only Miss Zidi supports her."
"This matter cannot be rushed."
"We can test and confirm her true intentions and test whether she has any means of being controlled."
"We can also sign a contract with her."
"There are many spells and divine spells that can help us, aren't there?"
"In fact, I hope that we will also sign a contract and use the power of the contract to protect ourselves to prevent the devil's gold coin from happening again!"
Cang Xu is worthy of being a noble butler for many years, and he speaks very well.
First, he maintained his opinion.
Secondly, he agreed with Zongge, but not completely. He opposed Zidi, but not completely. He did not offend either party.
Again, what he said made sense and gave a solution.
Finally, he had a very reasonable suggestion, suggesting that everyone sign a contract and beware of tricks like devil's gold coins. This suggestion simply touched the heart of the young dragon man!
The dragon boy couldn't help but nodded slightly.
He looked at Zi Di and silently asked his sweetheart's opinion.
Zidi's brows relaxed a little, and she muttered: "We really need to be on guard against means like devil's gold coins to protect our will!"
"In this regard, divine magic has always been the first choice for the public."
"After implementation, divine protection is divided into two types. The first is temporary protection, which only protects for a period of time and needs to be replenished at subsequent intervals. The second is constant divine protection, which is similar to a constant spell and will permanently protect the effects of divine spells.
Attached to the human body.”
"The first type requires us to have frequent contact with priests and above, which increases our risk of exposure."
"The second one is even less suitable. Constant magic requires high-level clerics and certain spell-casting facilities. It is often held in temples. Because it permanently imparts magical power, the sect's review will be very strict.
Preventing the enemy. In the process of casting magical spells, it is very likely that the gods will also pay attention to them."
"In fact, any high-level large-scale magical performance has a higher chance of attracting the attention of the gods."
The fighter's power comes from himself, the mage draws elements from the outside world, and the priest's power comes from the gods they believe in.
Therefore, once powerful magic is used, the gods will naturally sense it.
The dragon boy nodded: "Magical magic is not suitable for us, it is too risky. Is there any other way?"
Zidi nodded: "Yes. In addition to divine magic, there are also spells, magic circles, potions, alchemy tools, etc."
"For example, an anti-magic barrier can increase resistance. When the will is distorted, it can shorten the time of being controlled."
"There is also a classic arcane spell: Magic Counter. It can counter most spells."
"However, generally speaking, the prevention effect is not very good."
"Divine spells and spells both affect the will, but the number of the former is much greater than the latter. Magic countermeasures and anti-magic enchantments are more specific to spells."
"Isn't there something that targets divine magic, such as the secrets of anti-divine magic?" the dragon boy asked curiously.
Zidi smiled bitterly: "Gods are special, and the power of each god is unique. In other words, the nature of their magic is different, even if the effect is the same."
"Therefore, it is very difficult and costly to develop anti-god magic. Even if it is developed, it will only be aimed at a certain god and will not have broad applicability. In this way, the benefits will be too low."
"What's even worse is that the cost of modifying divine spells is much lower than the cost of research and development of anti-divine spells. Once it is discovered that divine spells are being targeted, the gods can make the corresponding anti-divine spells ineffective with just a slight modification. It doesn't even require a god.
If the main body takes action, the Holy Spirit, angels, red archbishops and other beings can also make modifications."
"That's it." Zong Ge sighed.
The dragon boy is the reason for his amnesia, and Zong Ge refers to practicing fighting spirit. He has lived in the army all year round and does not have much understanding of these more in-depth knowledge.
Listening to Zidi's talk, both of them felt their eyes were opened.
While Zidi was talking, Cang Xu remained quiet.
He knows how to measure things and doesn't try to grab the limelight unnecessarily.
Zidi continued: "Spells are like this. There are also some magic circles that can protect the original owner's will."
To be continued...
