Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 616, missing and night talk
(PS: There are only two updates today, one is on leave, the status is recovering, today’s chapter is written very smoothly, and, I think, I will still write about the relationship between men and women, no, what BL writer... I really don’t think so .)
Hao's plan sounds very crazy. It is too late for ordinary people to avoid these monsters, especially for group monsters like Yazi, even high-level professionals will hide away in the wild. A plan like Hao's is almost impossible to happen.

But thinking carefully about Hao's plan, although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.

Because as Hao said, they are actually in a dead end now, whether they are defending, walking, or fleeing, they will all die. In this wilderness, if you want to escape the pursuit of Yazi monsters with hundreds of people It is almost impossible to do it. The most important thing is that most of these hundreds of people are incapable humans. Up to now, only a second-level magician and a first-level fighter are extraordinary professions.

Such a lineup, to the monsters in the wild, is as attractive as fat meat that can walk.

That's right, the vast majority of monsters are without intelligence, but lack of intelligence does not mean that they have no perception and wild intuition. They actually know better than anyone whether their prey is strong or not, and it is precisely because of this that today's twelve Yazi Seeing the formation of hundreds of people, they still dare to charge forward, not because they are brainless, but because they think they can wipe out their prey.

That night, Hao saw the complexity of the third-order magic, and he began to doubt whether he could optimize and analyze it within two days.

In magic, tricks are the simplest formulas, almost composed of only a few runes. In Hao’s opinion, there is no need to optimize them, and even the most ordinary magicians can create tricks by themselves. , because the backlash of tricks is negligible, and non-magic mortals can easily bear it. If the difficulty of tricks is described as one, then the difficulty of first-level magic spells will immediately increase to one hundred, or even more.

The form of tricks is linear, a combination of several runes before and after, while the first-order magic is flat. It is a balance of spells formed by combining a large number of runes with various calculation methods. Among them, there are ten-digit numbers, two-digit numbers, and non-linear numbers, etc. Combination and calculation methods, starting from the first-order magic, which is the regular magic recognized by magicians, the amount of calculation is exaggerated .

This is only the amount of calculation of the rune itself. The key point is the meaning of the rune. The so-called magic rune is not constructed by the magician himself. The magic is taught by arcanists of the logic family, and it is a simplified and low-profile version of arcane. No matter what kind of magic it is, it is too old to be verified.

According to the most information and books now, the first magic was not controlled by magicians, but the earliest magic came from the ancient priest lineage. This extraordinary professional system is also an extraordinary type of legal system, and it has basically been eliminated now. There are only a few remaining among the Wanzu tribes in remote areas.

The so-called ancient priest refers to a kind of supernatural law system that comprehends the nature of the world, sacrifices to ghosts and gods, hidden existences, devils, demons, or some natural spirits, or even powerful monsters, and then obtains power from them. The supernatural power of ancient priests The power basically comes from the equivalent exchange with these supernatural beings. Once they lose the gift of these supernatural beings, they will lose most of their power, so this kind of legal supernatural will gradually be eliminated.

However, through this perennial power interaction, these ancient priests learned the magic-like release methods of these supernatural creatures, and realized the existence of magic formulas. Among them, those with the highest talents recorded and passed down these spells, and then Generations of magic supernaturals summed it up. Legendary or above legal system supernaturals used these handed down runes to create new magic. Slowly evolving in this way, a group of ancient priests gradually became Magicians have ushered in a new era, and magicians, an extraordinary profession in the legal system, have only slowly emerged and gained scale.

This is the most recognized explanation for the emergence and evolution of magic among the books Hao has read, and Hao found a problem in these books, as well as all magic books, magic information books, etc., that is, all magicians They don't even know what the true meaning of the magic runes is.

All magic runes are not created by the magician himself, or even by any life or existence. They are generated by the heaven and the earth, and they are a manifestation of the origin of the heaven and the earth. The magician cannot know a certain The only way to understand the true meaning of the rune is to use magic to conduct hundreds or thousands of experimental tests, and then record the specific meaning of the rune, and then pass it on to the next generation, and to test the rune, this is very important It is a very dangerous thing for a magician. One bad thing may lead to backlash and death. Because of this, the magic tower is so important to the magician, because there is a magic tower for energy supply and protection, magic Only magicians can safely conduct magic experiments to test the true meaning of runes, which is why most magicians are nerds, and they spend most of their time in such magic experiments.

But it is mentioned in all magic books that the essence of magic is mystery. The reason is that even after a hundred or a thousand tests, the true meaning of the runes is still inaccurate, and even these The true meaning of runes will also change. For example, at certain temperatures, a certain rune may represent the true meaning of cold, but at another temperature, this rune may represent electricity. For example, in spring , the true meaning of a rune is life, and in autumn, the true meaning of this rune may become death.

There is no rule to follow in this kind of transformation. As a result, the magicians have recognized that the essence of so-called magic is mystery and idealism. They even think that the runes are likely to be related to the hidden existence in low latitudes.

But Hao analyzed the magic, and also analyzed the runes. Although he didn't know how he did it, the only thing he could guess was that the knowledge of the arcane and extraordinary path taught to him by the venerable had played a role in Hao. In the analysis, runes do represent the origin and essence of the multiverse. In this regard, the magicians did not guess wrong, but their next thought was a big mistake, that is, runes are not changeable. Yes, magic is not an idealistic mystery, but the runes analyzed by everyone are actually different.

Hao didn't know why this happened. In the process of his analysis, the same rune seemed to him to have completely different meanings and existences, and in the results of his analysis, each original rune, and magic The same-meaning runes formed by the magic formula are actually two completely different things. To put it simply, in his opinion, it is the rune that represents the origin of one, and it is written as "1", but in the magic formula, it is written as "2". It may be "3", it may be "4", it may be "1", if a magician who does not understand the meaning of this rune copies the original rune, luckily, it happens to be transferred to "2", then he If the magic is successful, a new magic is created, but if it is transported to "3" or "[-]", the result may be unsuccessful, backlash, or a big explosion, depending on the character he transported. The opposite of the text and other runes, the more the opposition, the greater the load, and the greater the possibility of backlash.

Therefore, it is useless even for magicians to analyze the same shape of runes a million times, because the shapes of the runes analyzed by each person are different. Hao believes that this may have something to do with the difference of each life. In the world, it is absolutely impossible to have two identical lives, even if it is cloned, magically copied, or even copied by holy gods, there must be very subtle differences, and it is this difference that makes this life in the world. There is a difference in understanding the multiverse, so the analytical runes of each life are unique.

Therefore, magicians believe that magic is idealistic and mysterious, but in Hao's view, magic may be nothing more than a combination of runes. Every rune, as long as its true meaning is analyzed, can be substituted into the In any other magic, there is no need to worry about any backlash, and you can even delete completely unnecessary and cumbersome runes that only reduce magic damage, increase magic power consumption, and increase load. The magic formula in Ai's eyes has been analyzed and optimized.

Hao also finally understood why the Arcanist is recognized as the number one extraordinary career path and the strongest extraordinary profession. For a magician who can analyze all magic runes, the challenge of jumping up and down is just like playing, even The road from magic apprentice to legendary magician is unimpeded, it only takes time to accumulate, and there is no bottleneck at all.

But vaguely, Hao has a feeling, the more magic formulas he analyzes and optimizes, the stronger this feeling is, he feels that he is missing a very important other half, he now has the ability to analyze runes, But he still lacks the ability to combine these runes, and he doesn't know what this ability is, but he thinks this ability is extremely important. If he can have the ability to analyze runes and combine runes at the same time, then He will undergo a qualitative change, even if he is still a mortal body without demons, he may be able to walk out of his own extraordinary path one day...

And tonight, after he saw the three-dimensional magic formula of the third-order magic from Ai Yi, this feeling became even more profound. He doesn't understand the combination of runes now, and every time he analyzes the runes and optimizes the magic formula, he has to do it. It must rely on Ai’s original magic formula, that is, it must be analyzed on the basis of the magic formula. The three-dimensional magic formula of this third-order magic has a total of sixteen layers, and each layer is subdivided into three-dimensional three-dimensional The shape of the rune combination formula seems to be perfect, but in Hao's eyes, this third-order magic is full of mistakes and omissions. This is not the combination of the optimal solution of the runes. For the sake of vomiting... although he didn't know why he felt this way.

Although Hao didn't know why he felt this way, he couldn't change the basic structure of any magic formula, that is, the calculation method of its runes. The runes are changed correctly, while optimizing their structure.

(I now have the analysis method of runes, which is the core essence of the path of the arcanist, so I am almost [-]% sure that what the venerable taught me back then was the career path of the arcanist, but , This gives me a feeling that the career path of an Arcanist is incomplete, and the key other half is missing, so what is it?)
Hao leaned against a big tree, looking at the stars in the night sky, but his attention was not on the night sky at all, his mind was basically concentrated in the thoughts in his mind, today he analyzed the third-order magic The technique has not been analyzed completely, and now his mind is swollen, and his mental fatigue has exceeded a certain limit, which makes him unable to sleep. At this time, he came outside the tree house, in fact, he just wanted to wake up, and then he thought of The special feeling he felt before, he lacked the key other half, the other half that is most suitable for rune analysis.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

At this time, a female voice sounded, and Hao woke up, looked quickly, and saw Ai also coming out of the tree house.

Hao lowered his head slightly and said, "Is Miss Ai still asleep? You must be very tired from remembering the magic formula?"

Ai Yi smiled at Hao, walked up to Hao, found a flat rock and sat on it, and at the same time curled his legs and said: "You should be more tired than me, haven't you slept? This is actually normal. After being tired beyond the limit, there will be a short-term excitement instead. This is normal for magicians, especially magicians who conduct overloaded magic experiments. Usually, magicians will drink some tea with herbs at this time. It is helpful to calm the mind, so that the magician can use the shortest time to fall asleep, and at the same time, he will not be listless the next day, but unfortunately there is no such tea here."

Hao also knows about these things. It is actually mentioned in the book that tea is a luxury. The reason is that magicians demand a lot of it, so the price has been raised. At that moment, he smiled and said: "It can also be done in the wild here. Find some substitute, would Miss Ay want to drink?"

Ai Yi was stunned for a moment, then excitedly said: "Is there any? Actually, I'm just hungry at night. I want to drink or eat something. Unfortunately, I haven't eaten sweets for many days."

Hao smiled, and searched here and there in the field next to him, found a lot of weeds, and then carefully selected the things he needed, then went back to the tree house and took out the pot, and hit some hillsides at random Clean water from the kitchen, boiled the weed water right over the fire that Ay had lit.

After a while, the water was ready. Hao poured himself a cup, and poured another cup for Ai Yi. The two took a few breaths while holding the cup, and took a sip each.

Ai Yi took a sip, frowned, and then let go after a while, then smiled and said: "The taste is not that bad, although it was a bit astringent at first, but after that, the taste became lighter, and it was a bit bittersweet... It's okay."

Hao smiled and took another sip, then he looked up at the sky and said, "Miss Ai Yi, I actually regret killing Yin Kong today."

Ai Yi's body froze, and it took a while for her to recover. She also took a sip and said, "Let's stop here. I've said it before, I..."

Hao interrupted her and said, "But Miss Ai has fear in her heart, doesn't she?"

Ai Yi looked at Hao familiarly, and didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the cup in his hand, and Hao continued: "Actually, I understand your thoughts. You...are you afraid of me?"

"Afraid?" Ai Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you say that?"

Hao looked up at the sky and said: "Because this is human nature, if I were replaced by the role of you, I am an elf, and I was forced to sign a master-servant agreement with a human being. I am a servant, he is Lord, I'd be scared too...because I'm human."

Ai was silent again, and Hao continued: "We human beings are treated cruelly by all races, even worse than animals, because for all races in the tribal civilization stage, for the slave civilization stage, or the impoverished ten thousand races in the backward civilization stage , Animals are the livelihood of many thousands of families. They will treat those big animals patiently, and they can even be described as cherishing them. But what about us humans?"

"We human beings are like grass, like ants, like resources, like fat walking on the earth, even the weakest, most powerless, and poorest people can kill us wantonly and treat them cruelly, you know Is it? I have seen several human cooking manuals in the books given to me by His Highness Iluvita, the master of the elves. One of the dishes is described as follows: the human meat is slightly sour, and the most delicious places are the internal organs and brains. Humans, fix their skulls, cut off the top layer of the skulls, be careful not to let humans die, then pour boiling oil on the brains, eat their brains, it's extremely delicious..."

"...Take a human pregnant woman who is five months pregnant, cut her abdomen alive, take out her son, put it in a jar, cook it slowly for three hours, the meat will be half-melted and the best..."

Hao said these words in a calm tone, and Aiyi was terrified to hear them. She slammed the glass and shouted loudly: "Enough! Shut up! I have never eaten human flesh!!! I..."

Hao silently picked up the cup, poured another cup for Ai, then handed it to Ai with a smile, and said at the same time: "That's because the elves are strong enough and civilized enough, they don't need to use human flesh to feed their stomachs anymore, and to be honest , human beings are not delicious animals, and human flesh is not delicious... But Ms. Aiyi, what I said is happening every moment on this continent, in this world, and happening in various places Does Miss Ai know? In a place called the Red Earth Plateau, the strongest tribe there is called the Bull Demon Clan. They like to eat the youngest of human beings, preferably the ones that have not yet been born. Those who live there Human tribes, the tax they pay is pregnant women..."

"Stop it, please, stop it..." Ai Yi held the cup and lowered his head, as if tears were dripping down.

Hao said sorry softly, then smiled and said to Ai Yi: "Miss Ai Yi, I didn't mean to say this deliberately, but to express a meaning, I know you are afraid of me, the reason is that I am a human being, and after humans have been treated so cruelly by Wanzu, when Wanzu falls into the hands of humans, how much fear should Wanzu have? Just because they know their cruelty, they absolutely dare not let themselves It fell into the hands of human beings, and Miss Ai, you all fell into my hands now, so I understand your fear better... Yinkong and Anyang did not attack as I explained in advance, in fact, I thought about it afterwards. , It’s not that Yinkong and Anyang are unruly, nor is it that they disdain me, more precisely, they are afraid of me, afraid that I will be bad for them, afraid that I will kill them, right?”

Ai Yi was silent for a long time, and then whispered: "Yes, we are all afraid... Ever since we signed the master-servant contract with you, we have been in fear. We have thought about killing you, but the master-servant contract Once signed, unless the time limit is reached, we will die if you die. We also thought about running away, but you know magic, even if you are a mortal, as long as you read the magic language, we will die immediately if we are thousands of miles away , so we can't think about it, of course, we also thought about curry favor with you, but I don't know if this will make you let go of your fear of the elves... In short, we can't think about it, we are all afraid, afraid on."

"Yeah, I can understand."

Hao sighed, looked at Ai Yi with a smile, and said, "So, I am willing to sign another subsidiary agreement with you. On the condition that we do not violate the master-servant contract, we will enter into a certain degree of equal contract. The content is..."

"One, I can't punish you or kill you without reason."

"Second, this reason is divided into the following two points, first, it threatens my life, and second, it is related to the legacy of the nameless genealogy."

"Third, you must obey my order. There are two situations for this order. The first one is that I will not sacrifice you for no reason, nor will I insult or hurt you for no reason. The second one is that in life and death At a time of crisis, my orders are the top priority."

Hao smiled and said: "This is what I thought of. It is the most likely to give you a guarantee. At the same time, it will not cause misunderstandings between us. Of course, this is the first supplementary agreement. If there is another supplementary agreement in the future Changes, we both discuss to add or delete, do you think it’s okay?”

Ai Yi stared blankly at Hao, seeing his smile at the moment, inexplicably, Ai Yi stretched out her hand to rub Hao's face, she suddenly laughed happily and said: "Remember what I said? Don't fake smile Here, come on, how about giving me a real smile?"

Hao was stunned for a moment, and then Ai Yi really laughed out loud, as if Hao's stunned expression pleased her.

This laughter has been transmitted far and far under the night sky...
