Chapter 44: Chapter 045 - Pre-War Preparations
Although there is only one word difference between black magician and dark magician, there is a world of difference. Dark magician is to deal with the dead spirit, through the spiritual power and special magic incantation, can be recruited from the alien space some undead and so on to help the battle, the spiritual power of the cultivation and the other magicians are the same, are relying on meditation to cultivate spiritual power.
Black magicians were different, they initially raised their spiritual power by refining the souls of the living, and rarely bothered with meditation. Of course after reaching a certain rank, it would be of little use to raise their cultivation through this method again, and they would still have to rely on meditation to raise it.
To use an old saying from the continent of Aramaic, dark magicians deal with dead bodies, while black magicians deal with the living.
Johnsan thought in his heart and walked back to his stone room. It was only noon, so he had nothing to do for a while, so he casually took out a spatial ring and inspected it inside.
"Huh, what's this?" Johnsan saw a piece of black iron, dark and heavy in the corner of the ring space, and couldn't help but get it in his hand with a twitch of his mind.
But it was a piece of iron, dark and heavy, made of unknown materials, cold and heavy in the hand. On the front are some strange patterns and designs, but on the back are some words that Johnsan does not recognize like line symbols.
"It's hard to believe that it's some kind of divine weapon treasure." Johnsan transported some of his spiritual energy to try to probe, but he realized that the piece of remnant iron was as if it was insulated, and his spiritual energy couldn't penetrate into it at all.
Unable to hold back his curiosity, Johnsan pulled out the sharp black blade and cut a slit in his finger, dripping a few drops of blood onto the remnants of iron.
"Zi ..." a subtle sound came out from the remnant iron piece, and it actually sucked up Johnsan's dripping blood like a sponge, leaving no trace of blood.
Johnsan tried to explore with his spiritual power again, but the spiritual power and the remnants of the iron pieces were like the north and south poles of a magnet, popping off abruptly at the touch.
"How can one be so lucky that any random thing one picks up is a Divine Artifact." Johnsan laughed to himself, but seeing that the remnant iron piece was not corroded by his own blood, he thought that there must be something special about it, so he threw it into his spatial ring.
Thinking that there was nothing else to do, he sat on the stone bed and cultivated his spiritual power.
Entering into meditation was quick, and it didn't take long for his mind to go blank, and he kept sitting there for most of the day, but it still wasn't half as effective as it could have been.
"Can be worried to death." Johnsan a burst of helplessness, suddenly remembered that group of fighting qi, also no longer meditate to cultivate spiritual power, closed his eyes and sat down, the group of warm fighting qi at the abdomen swims through the limbs and bones, Johnsan only feel indescribable comfort.
The first time he awakened the alien gene was when he succeeded in practicing fighting qi on THE Locomotive town, Johnsan has never given up on his fighting qi practice since then, except that just like the spiritual power that got stuck in the swamp, there was no progress in his fighting qi practice at all.
Just like that, for two days in a row, Johnsan, apart from eating, was cultivating his spiritual power and fighting qi in the stone room, and didn't dare to wander around outside.
Very few people were there during the daytime, and they didn't know where they all went, only returning in droves every evening, and later Johnsan asked Gourry to find out that during the daytime they would go to another place to practice, and by the way, they would also go to the forest to see if they had the chance to come across any summoned beasts that were more suitable for them.
Two days passed quickly, and early on the third day Johnsan went to the same hotel where he had met at first, and went in to see that Robin and the others had all arrived.
Bidding the maid to bring the wine and food, a few people chatted away as they ate.
"On the warrior side, I've already confirmed that they'll send two great battle masters, one cultivating fire fighting qi and one cultivating thunder fighting qi." Robin spoke to a few people as he drank.
Several other people had long ago said who their professions would send, and at this time the hearts of the crowd were slightly settled.
Magician side, water system magician versus earth system magician, half a catty or two is not too big difference, depends on the experience of the field against the enemy and personal play.
On the assassin's side, listening to Blondie's statement, it was also a ten out of ten, no one doubted it, after all, he alone could win from the ten person elimination tournament, so he must have his own unique features.
In a battle like this, it couldn't be denied that priests had a role to play, but they weren't very useful after all. Compared to Bertha, a high-level priest, she didn't have the ability to cast Mind Flame that could increase the protection and fighting power of a warrior, and her only skill was the Holy Light Healing Technique, and the effect wasn't very obvious. Hearing that the other party had sent out a Senior Priest as well, everyone automatically ignored her side.
Fighters not to mention, Elvis is a Great War Master, Robin is a War Saint, and the other side will only send two Great War Masters, if nothing unexpected, this side has a solid advantage.
The only problem now is Johnsan's side, everyone is looking at him, the trio had guessed that he is the summoner of the aliens, after seeing the ghostly aliens, they naturally have some certainty about Johnsan.
Hate? The trio wisely put it aside at this point.
"Johnsan, the other party can be one rank higher than you, and there's also a level 7 magical beast. I'm sure you know about the Xuan Shui Yin Snake, not only is it incredibly powerful, its scales and armor are incredibly hard, but it also spits out magical black smoke that contains a high level of poison, making it very difficult to deal with."
Johnsan smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to discuss this issue, everyone puts a hundred hearts on my side. How it fits tomorrow, that's what we have to think about."
"You can just arrange it yourselves." Blondy, still looking deadpan, said, "I definitely want to act alone; an assassin standing in plain sight is like a stripped virgin standing in the street, it's dangerous."
The others couldn't help but be stunned, but not because of his own arrangement; no one expected the cold-as-ice Blondi to make such a snide remark at such a juncture.
Bertha spat darkly and lowered her head.
"Uh-huh." Robin, who had unknowingly become the backbone of the group, nodded and said, "What about the others? What's on everyone's mind, tell us."
The crowd talked and discussed until noon when it was finalized.
The magician's damage output is the greatest, but can't allow others to get close to him, Robin and Elvis will be close to protect him, Bertha is also in this range.Johnsan is the same as Blondi, insisting on acting alone, Robin at first disagreed, but saw the trio did not have any objections, Blondi is a look that does not care about his own, Robin alone can't persuade Johnsan, and can only give up.
By the time all the details were agreed upon, it was mid-afternoon, and several people split the payment for the meal and went back to their own preparations.
Johnsan returned to the place where the summoner lived and unexpectedly saw Gourry standing in front of his stone cave, he hadn't gone over there yet, Gourry couldn't help but look happy when he saw him and came over and said, "Mr. Grue asked me to bring you something, I've been waiting for you for half a day."
"Go sit inside." Johnsan smiled and brought him into his stone cave, and without rushing to ask, he pulled out a few bottles of Bloody Anya from his spatial ring and placed them on the stone table, smiling, "Seeing that you like to drink, I brought you a few bottles by the way on my way back."
In the past few days he had only dealt with Gourry, and could see that this man was quite loyal, and had some good wine. Johnsan was rich at this time, and didn't care about the money, so he brought a few bottles to Gourry.
As expected, Gourry couldn't help but see the five bottles of Bloody Anya with his eyes lighting up, and he didn't hesitate to collect them into his spatial ring in a single goo, he smiled heatedly at Johnsan and said, "Thank you, Johnsan. i haven't even drunk this Anya in a couple of years, and thinking about that flavor makes my throat itchy."
Johnsan smiled and said, "What does Mr. Grue have for me?"
Gourry reached into his pocket, then clenched his fist and handed it to Johnsan with a mysterious look on his face, slowly spreading his palm.
"Huh!" Johnsan couldn't help but make a curious sound, just to see Gourry's huge palm holding a mass of something as black as ink and silk threads, emitting a crystalline and radiant light under the sunlight cast in from the skylight.
"What's this?" Johnsan received it in his hands, only to feel that it was not so cold in his hands, but had a warm feeling instead. He shook it gently, and only then did he see that it was a vest-like silk garment, extremely stretchy and resilient.
"This is silk armor made from the silk of the Taylor Snow Mountain White Fire Snow Spider." Gourry looked at it enviously and said, "Not only can it defend against normal weapons, but it's also not afraid of being attacked by poisons. Mr. Gelu said that our summoner's body is too weak to allow others to get close to us, so wearing this snow spider silk armor will give us a little more insurance in tomorrow's elimination match."
Knowing very well in his heart that Gru did this because he saw his Black Dragon Alien, Johnsan still couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart when he heard it, and he said to Gourry, "Mr. Gru also didn't ask me to go get it, but he asked you to deliver it, so it's not good for me to bother him. Brother Gourry, if you see Mr. Gru, please also express my gratitude to him on my behalf."
Gourry answered and walked over to Johnsan and patted him on the shoulder, saying with a somewhat grave expression, "Darcy's Xuan Shui Yin Snake is very insidious, if you run into him, it's best to hide far away from him, don't fight him hard."
Johnsan nodded and gave him a grateful smile.
"Well, get some rest and we'll have a good drink tomorrow when we get back." Gourry said, giving Johnsan an encouraging smile and turning to walk out.
Johnsan watched him walk out before retracting his gaze, placing the Snow Spider Silk Armor on the stone table, taking out the sharp black blade from his spatial ring, and slashing it viciously. When he picked it up, he saw that the silk armor was intact, not a single scratch.
With a happy heart, Johnsan took off his outer robe and put it on, the Snow Silk Spider Armor was extremely elastic and not too big, it was just right.
"After tomorrow's delisting match, it'll be considered a true integration into the Scarlet Narrows." Johnsan's heart was a little excited.
The night was silent, and early the next morning Johnsan woke up, collected the aliens that had been policing the stone door during the night, and was just heading out the door when he saw Gourry guarding the doorway.
"Mr. Grue they have gone to the entrance of the Narrows, Johnsan, are you ready?" Gourry asked as he stood up.
Johnsan nodded, and without another word, the two headed for the entrance to the Narrows.
