Johnsan blinked and put on a trembling look of fear and walked up. Anna saw him come up and said, "Ask yourselves, I was all asleep just now, and when I came out when I heard the noise I saw a figure fly out and didn't see who it was."
"Johnsan, did you see who it was?"
"What is it?"
"Is it a man or a woman?"
As soon as they got up there, a cloud of men surrounded Johnsan, each one looking nervous. These people were all prominent figures in THE Locomotive town, and as soon as they heard that a Battlemaster had shown up at Anna's tavern, they all wanted to come and pull their weight.
"It was a man." Johnsan's body trembled slightly, a face of fear, said, "A middle-aged man, wearing a sword in his waist, I've never seen him in our THE Locomotive town. Just now there is no one in the store, I make my own spicy hot pot to eat, that person came in and grabbed a handful to eat, who knows that after eating it, it is like crazy, reach out and hit a purple fighting qi to throw me up from the roof, almost didn't scare me to death. This floor is also not strong, I fell down when I smashed through the floor are fell to the basement, can hurt me, fortunately did not hurt."
A middle-aged man stroked his beard and nodded his head, "No wonder they said that the figure wrapped in purple fighting qi looked ungainly when it fell, I said how could it be if it was a Battle Master, so it was you."
"Why? It's just a little kid, it's not like we're messing with him."
"Yeah, why is that so weird."
...
The group fell into a deep thought, Anna blinked her eyes and interjected, "Maybe it's because she ate Johnsan's spicy hot pot and never tasted this flavor before, and she acted like this for a moment because she was a bit excited. You guys weren't all the same before, you weren't exactly thrilled to eat spicy hot food for the first time."
Those people thought about it, though they found it a bit unbelievable and couldn't think of any other reason. Anna they also understood, much less believed that Fate, a junior wizard, could pull off this stunt, and Johnsan even less so.
"Johnsan, if you see him next time, tell him that the doors of our Coyote Mercenary Corps are always open to him." The one who spoke was the leader of a mercenary group in THE Locomotive town, Harissa, whose own strength was a Grand Battlemaster, just one rank higher than a Battlemaster, and had a dozen of high-level fighters and countless low- and mid-level fighters under his command, making him the most powerful mercenary group in THE Locomotive town as well.
The others were too embarrassed to speak up when they saw him speak first, and waited for him to walk out after a few turns before they gathered around and whispered instructions to Johnsan, meaning nothing more than trying to rope in the mysterious Battlemaster.
In one round Johnsan had a few more silver coins in his bag. It was hard to dismiss them, and by this time it was getting dark, so Anna closed the door with a grimace and said, "Bring Fate to my room all together."
Johnsan snapped and laughed a few times, and when he saw that Anna was still dark, he ran towards the basement, picked up Fate and shook him awake, and instructed him to keep his mouth shut for a while, and the two of them came up and headed for Anna's room.
The three of them sat in the room with their own thoughts, and no one spoke, and it was a long time before Anna sighed and said, "Johnsan, we've been living together for almost half a year, and I can't see through you more and more."
Johnsan scrunched his neck for a moment, a moment of weakness.
"I also know that you practiced Summoner, and I'm also aware that you later switched to Battle Spirit, just how did you suddenly become a Battle Master?"
Seeing Johnsan trying to speak, Anna shook her hand to interrupt him and continued, ''You'll definitely say you don't know either, hehe! Forget it, this man-eating world, it's good if you can be strong. Just you have to remember, things like today can't happen again, the Locomotive town is such a complicated form, I don't want you to get involved too early, you have some strength now, but sometimes strength can't determine everything, do you understand when I say this?"
Johnsan nodded, and Anna's face softened a bit as she said, ''Even though you looked miserable when you first came here, I could tell from your physical features that you weren't a commoner's child. It's impossible for a commoner's child to have hands as delicate as the ones you had when you first came here, and it's impossible for a small child born in a noble family to cook a cuisine that everyone has never tasted before... I originally thought that I should have some understanding after being in contact with you for a long period of time, but who knows that the more I looked at it, the more confused I became."
Johnsan laughed dryly a few times and said, "Auntie Anna, I've never thought of you as an outsider, it's just that there are some things that it's not the right time to talk about right now, I may be lazy, I may love to get into trouble, and I may be tongue-tied at times, but don't worry, I assure you, I'm definitely not a bad person."
Anna nodded in relief and glared at Fate again, "Johnsan will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future, if you want to follow his side, it's useless with your little strength."
Fate was embarrassed for a moment and looked down, not knowing what to say.
Anna stood up and pulled a box out from under the bed and threw it in front of Fate.
"Boss lady, don't kick me out ah, I will practice magic well, and also, I work hard, I can use magic to wash the dishes and dishes and clothes, and wash the floor is also fine ..." Fate was so anxious that he almost kneeled down.
"Shut up." Anna didn't have the good sense to say, "You think I'm going to pay you for your labor, dream on, eating and drinking my food every day, and you still want money!"
Fate dropped his heart when he heard that he wasn't going to kick him out.
"In this chest are some magical handwritten notes my husband once wrote, take them, they may be of some use."
Magic handbook is different from the magic textbook books, that is the magician will be their own dedicated research insights and experience recorded manual, extraordinarily detailed. Fate had heard about the legend of Anna's husband, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked him profusely as he cradled the box in his arms.
Anna stared at them for a moment longer and waved her hand to signal them out.
After the two went out, Johnsan explained the lies he had just made up to Fate, perhaps because he had gotten the magician's handbook, Fate didn't ask how Johnsan had suddenly become a war master, and hugged the box with gusto and left.
Johnsan went back to his room, skirted the large hole in the floor, and sat on his bed thinking about it for half a day without a clue.
Trying to control the flow of fighting qi within his body, his body was covered by a constant change of colors such as grey, orange, purple, and surprisingly, yellow, Johnsan was getting more and more confused.
The color of the fighting qi corresponding to each rank of the fighting qi warrior is different, the primary warrior is gray, the intermediate warrior orange, the senior warrior cyan, the battle master purple, the grand battle master blue, the battle saint yellow, the god of war is red, and the breakthrough of the god of war to reach the holy domain of the strongest, the fighting qi is the golden color.
Looking at the star-filled sky through the broken hole in the roof, a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind.
His own blood was as corrosive as the Alien's, which meant that he possessed some of the Alien's genes, but for some reason had no speed or strength.
There was no progress in practicing spiritual power, and when I switched to practicing fighting qi, I broke through the beginner, intermediate, and high ranks all at once, and I reached the Battle Master at once... Can I interpret this as the same as in the novels where I practiced martial arts and internal force, and the fighting qi opened up my meridians, and unleashed the genes and power of the xenomorphs as well, only that they manifested in the form of the fighting qi. At the same time, these also affect the spiritual power, isn't that right?
To put it in another way, one's fighting qi cultivation wasn't really advancing to the Battle Master rank, it was just activating the perverted abilities that had been genetically modified by the aliens.
After thinking for a long time, Johnsan felt that there was no way for him to explain some of this other than to understand it in this way.
Johnsan tried to feel the dozen or so alien eggs in the mental space that were mentally connected to him, and could clearly feel the facehugger's eager will to come out from the ovaries.
"We have to be careful about this, if we don't get it right, we won't turn ourselves into a parasite." Johnsan thought in his heart, and subconsciously gestured in his hand the sign of the contract needed when summoning a magical beast.
A sudden thought bubbled up in his mind, and Johnsan couldn't help but laugh the more he thought about it, the more secure he felt.
"Try tomorrow." Johnsan hemmed and hawed, only to shiver and wrap the covers tightly around him as he felt a cold breeze keep pouring in from the large hole in the roof.
The specialty of the Falling Moon Mountain Range was magical beasts, and according to the late Saint Realm Magician Alfred of the Yalan Continent's "Historical Record of Continental Travels", there were still Saint-level magical beasts in the depths of the Falling Moon Mountain Range.
Sacred level magical beasts were the pinnacle of existence among magical beasts, just like the human Sacred Realm powerhouses, standing high at the top of the pyramid. Of course, Saint-level magical beasts were not something that ordinary people could subdue, and only Saint realm powerhouses had the strength to do so. People and mercenary groups who went to the Moonfall Mountain Range for adventure didn't dare to have this idea, magical beasts above the sixth level were enough to make most people drink a pot of water.
The Locomotive town is located at the most edge of the Moonfall Mountain Range, and most of the activities in the forest outside of the town are some low-level magical beasts, and occasionally one or two magical beasts above the fifth level appeared, but it won't be a few days before they are either killed by hunting for magical crystals or subdued by a powerful magician or summoner.
Decades down the line, the forest around the Locomotive town had long since lost the existence of magical beasts above the fifth level under the successive baptisms of humans. It was good that the low level magical beasts had an amazing reproduction ability, or else it was feared that this piece of forest would turn into a place of death.
After working all morning, when the tavern was empty, Johnsan pulled Fate and ran for the forest outside of town.
"Can I help you?" Fate had become unusually diligent since getting Anna's husband's magical handwriting, and perhaps irritated by Johnsan, an unnatural human.
"Help me hatch the magical beast eggs." Johnsan ran outside the town, saw no one around, and ran so fast with his doujinshi that he nearly yanked Fate flying.
Not long after, the two people darted to a deeper position in the forest, Johnsan stopped, only to see Fate's head of long hair being blown around by the brisk wind, and laughed, "You wait here for a while." After saying that and ignoring Fate, Johnsan leaped straight towards the forest.
Even though he knew there weren't any large magical beasts here, Fate was always a little scared, looking around carefully and wondering what Johnsan was doing when he clearly said he was hatching magical beast eggs and wondered what he was doing there.
After waiting a short time, Fate heard a swish of a rush, when Johnsan appeared from the south, carrying several wraiths in his hands.
"A level one magical beast jumping rabbit? Second level magical beast Flame Chicken?" Fate's eyes widened as he wondered, "What are you doing catching these low-level magical beasts? It's not useful at all."
It was no wonder Fate was surprised, the hopping rabbit was not useful at all except for hopping higher and having delicate flesh on its body. The Flame Chicken sounded like it could do some magic, in fact the flames it spewed out couldn't even hurt a domesticated hyena.
"You'll see later." Johnsan smiled mysteriously and twisted the legs off of all two jumping rabbits and three flaming chickens in his hand before throwing them in front of him and sitting down on his own knees.
Taking a deep breath, Johnsan's mind emptied and he began to perform his first magical beast summoning in the Otherworld.
Following the odd sigil pattern in the summoning booklet, Johnsan concentrated, reaching out and tracing his fingers rapidly over the head of the squealing, screaming hopping rabbit.
Has been although the spiritual power cultivation is not much progress, but Johnsan basic training is still doing well, these rune deed hand gestures he himself demonstrated thousands of times, and now gesticulating is naturally a smooth flow of water in a single breath.
A blinding white haze flashed out from the top of the Jumping Rabbit's head, turning into a cross pattern in the air, and then quickly disappeared into the top of the Jumping Rabbit's head.
At the same time, Johnsan felt a sudden subtle spiritual connection between himself and this hopping rabbit, and he could even clearly feel the pain the hopping rabbit was feeling due to its broken leg.
Success!
Johnsan was ecstatic.
