black wizard Zhu Peng

However, due to some accident, the black and red smoke column rising from the village of Blanton Norca was gradually drawn, gathered on a certain man in the collapsed stone pile, and rapidly raised his spirit, transforming it into the magic power in his body.

After a long time, the smoke column completely disappeared, and Zhu Peng woke up in the darkness.

Click, boom!

The big jet-black sword pierced through the stone pile, and then was swept away by Zhu Peng, covering his forehead with one hand, Zhu Peng couldn't see that his eyes were completely black at this moment, and there was a shadow on his strong body. Many blood vessels swelled and flowed black and red shiny magic power.

After a while, Zhu Peng's eyes regained clarity, and his swollen body returned to its original state. Looking at his intact palm, he let out a soft breath: "Finally...he came back alive."

At this time, the soft moaning of pain under his body attracted Zhu Peng's attention. When he looked down, he saw Ma Qianrong rolling all over the floor with her head in her hands. There was a faint dark aura spreading from her body, but the aura on the girl was is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhu Peng frowned slightly, and quickly stretched out his big hand to hold down the girl's small head. With a little movement, it spread to the whole body, and Ma Qianrong's whole body was suddenly paralyzed, unable to move.

Zhu Peng diffused his spiritual power into the girl's mind, and felt a continuously increasing spiritual power and dark magic power that was being polluted and transformed.

Close your eyes to seal it, and then make it more likely to be in a slow-release state. After such a treatment, after a while, Ma Qianrong woke up faintly.

"Brother Peng...my head hurts so much, I'm not going to die, am I?"

"No, it's a surge in mental power. After you go back this time, you can prepare to be promoted to the second-level wizard. However, I suggest that you strengthen your studies, purify your magic power, and wait a few years before you advance. The breakthrough is too fast and easy, and it is easy to cause damage. The foundation is flimsy and unstable." After speaking, Zhu Peng no longer cared about Ma Qianrong, and began to swing the big sword to chop the stones and quickly dig out his companion who was smashed into the pile of stones before.

The flow rate of time in the mental world is different from that in the physical world. A person may feel that he has stayed for a long time in a dream, but in fact he only stayed there for more than ten minutes.

Zhu Peng is also in a similar situation. If he really stayed in the world of mental imagery for several days, Ma Qianrong must have been suffocated to death if he didn't say it himself. The environment sealed with earth and rocks is very oxygen-deficient.

When Zhu Peng dug up Sun Ye, this guy who had a synchronization rate with the Monkey King was also alive and kicking with a stick and smashing stones, but Ma Yongzhen beside him was not in a good state, and the poisonous injury from the poisonous scorpion and python was not serious before. It was not removed completely, and now it has been buried alive, and has fallen into a coma.

However, after Zhu Peng checked it again, he judged that his condition had stabilized and his life was not in danger.

After getting Zhu Peng's confirmation, Ma Qianrong breathed a sigh of relief. Both of them are proficient in medical skills, both in saving lives and dissecting people. It's just that Ma Qianrong's concern at this moment is chaotic, so Zhu Peng took the initiative to check.At this time, Sun Ye's loud shouts came from not far away.

"Brother Peng, come on Qianrong, come on, I've found Elsa." Ma Qianrong ran over after hearing the sound, while Zhu Peng suddenly recalled that before he was buried, the nine-tailed girl who rushed to the front was killed. The scene where the millstone was knocked down by the flying stone... Judging from Zhu Peng's experience, he was basically dead.

"Captain, captain, she is still alive, Elsa is still alive, medicine, get the medicine quickly." Ma Qianrong's shout made Zhu Peng stunned, otherwise he would walk up quickly and take out the recovery magic potion from his cuff .

For so many years, although Zhu Peng has not said it clearly, but he behaved like a jingle cat, but he did not hide it from his teammates. Therefore, although everyone did not talk about it, they all knew in their hearts that their captain had space equipment. Just don't know what exactly.

Handing over the potion, Zhu Peng frowned and observed Elsa's condition at the same time. Her body was intact. Although there were many fractures all over her body, there was nothing fatal... Where did the flying stone the size of a millstone go?

Zhu Peng scanned around, and there were gravels that had been knocked out by Sun Ye's iron rod all around. Where could he find the large flying rock that was supposed to kill Elsa.

Grunting, grunting enough to swallow the potion, the unconscious girl's breathing gradually became clear and relaxed.

"Elsa seems to have been buried shallower because she rushed closest to the entrance of the cave. She didn't suffer any serious injuries. It will be fine after going back to recover in two days. You don't have to worry, Sun Ye. If you really care about her so much, you should talk to her earlier Confession, a girl's youth cannot be delayed." It was a catastrophe, but everyone was fine, and Ma Qianrong was completely relieved, and she hurt Sun Ye.

For the boy's hesitation and timidity, the other girls felt that Elsa was aggrieved in their eyes.

Zhu Peng was not interested in these emotional topics between men and women. He turned around and took the big sword to the mine area that had completely collapsed.It's not that the poisonous scorpion python is so difficult to deal with, but that if the police felt a little slower today, it would be difficult for him and everyone to survive if he was crushed deep in the collapsed mine.

Walking to the mining area, Zhu Peng couldn't believe the scene he saw. Under the sunlight, large areas of Thunder crystal mines were exposed in the open air. This situation shows that there are mineral deposits deep underground. Extremely rich.

"This...how is it possible? It is impossible for such a large reserve of mineral deposits to be neglected in the past. However, with the original power of this world, the derivation speed of the Thunder Crystal Mine cannot be so fast."

However, no matter whether Zhu Peng believed it or not, no matter how much he doubted, the extremely rich thunder crystal deposits were right in front of him, and even the mining difficulty became extremely low because of the open pit.

...In the next two years, Zhu Peng and others established their own sphere of influence with the village of Blanton Norca as the core, and used a large amount of gold that was of little significance to wizards as capital to hire a large number of local laborers, and even Qiuyue Xue Naili has created a corporate culture with great management skills, so that everyone in Nuoka Village is protected by the company from birth, education, work, medical care, and retirement.Manage the entire village and town forces like an iron bucket, and begin to extremely reject the outside world, creating a regional superiority mentality;

For all kinds of wizarding forces, it is not difficult to know that Zhu Peng and others have dug an old mine, but in their view, the output of an old thunder crystal mine is quite limited, not to mention that Zhu Peng worshiped the vampire demigod Pansy. ·Alexil is the mentor, and I own the two legendary units of Void Fear Chogas and Purgatory Demon Dog Arthurs as combat power guarantees. It is no problem to eat this small mine.It's not that no one came to snatch it, it's just that after they were all repelled or even beheaded, all wizard forces basically recognized Zhu Peng and others' ownership of this mine vein;

Thunder Crystal Mine is a kind of low- and intermediate-level magic material with a wide range of uses. The main purpose is to refine and compress it to provide energy for mechanical golems and small and medium-sized airships. In the past two years, Zhu Peng and others have sold crystals openly and secretly The mine not only meets the needs of self-cultivation, but also secretly earns a lot of money. Who would have imagined that a waste mine that had been abandoned back then suddenly turned into a huge rich mine;

However, after two years of fermentation, the undercurrent of the entire continent began to surge. A powerful western country suddenly joined forces with two allies to conquer the entire continent. The figure of the wizard pushing the flames.It was also caused by the panic caused by the war. It was also proposed by Qiuyue Xue Naili that Nuoka villages and towns began to form parade self-defense forces. All miners must receive modern militarized training, and recruit the time-honored Guangyao Canary Mercenary Group at a high price. , using the most meaningless gold value for the team to a relatively extreme...

In two years, with the support of a lot of wealth, Baron Custer's mansion has become the most luxurious and magnificent building within a radius of thousands of miles.

But it still assumes the functions of the Noka village school:

Free good accommodation and good education are provided for free. Here even the most naughty or stupid children can work as miners in the mines in the future. Of course, the smartest among them can become well-educated bachelors or decent managers.

This is of course a great kindness to the villagers in Nuoka Village, but to Zhu Peng and the others, it is just a cover, and it also makes the parade self-defense team more loyal and dedicated.

Five hundred soldiers who have undergone militarized training and armed with excellent firepower weapons, as long as they are not facing legendary wizards, even if they are facing legendary warriors, they can kill them with half their energy and most of their killing intent.

Especially when these people are protecting their children, their will to fight will become particularly tenacious.

At dusk, in the basement deep in Custer's mansion.

Although part of the income was shared by Andariel and Ma Qianrong, after two years of hard work and accumulation, Zhu Peng's spiritual strength has still steadily climbed to the peak of a strong second-order wizard.

For Ma Qianrong, absorbing Zhu Peng's overflowing spiritual power to improve her cultivation base is harmful to a certain extent, but for Zhu Peng, the magic power she desperately obtained from the world of mental images is purely a part of the magic power cultivated by the shadow mask, which is extremely pure. , without impurities.

On the open sand and gravel field, Zhu Peng, who was holding a legendary wand, waved his left hand, and the soil and rocks under his feet suddenly stood up into a wall, easily blocking the shells of the flame machine bombarded by Shirley from the opposite side with all his strength.

At this time, Qiuyue Shirley was sitting behind a modified enchanted machine gun. With the magic power of her own first-order wizard, she strengthened the magically modified machine gun, and used the machine gun's rate of fire to hit a unit with a lethality almost like that of a cannon.

The strengthened and enchanted steel shells rumbled on the earth and stone wall in front of Zhu Peng, and the looming red-yellow tempered wall continued to disintegrate but also continued to be replenished. In the end, Zhu Peng and Qiuyue Shirley's shells were all fired. The tempered earth and stone wall blocking him was not completely blown up.

"Although the Red Dragon Steel Rock Barrier is a Tier [-] evoking earth-type defensive spell, it consumes a Tier-[-] mana. After being fused with the innate defensive force field, it is not an exaggeration to call it a Tier-[-] soil-type defensive spell. Shirley, don't be too strong, you won't be able to break this spell."

"I don't believe it... You stand there and let me hit you with the newly learned defensive spells, but I can't hit you. Brother, you stand there and wait for me to load the shells, and I will definitely be able to blow them up this time." Qiu Yuexue Li yelled at Zhu Peng while loading her cannon with special shells.

However, Zhu Peng didn't pamper his younger sister this time.

"In a real battle, no wizard will stand here and let you bombard him indiscriminately." When he finished speaking, seven huge balls of flame had already emerged from Zhu Peng's body.

With the waving of the wand, a circle of negative energy spread around the man's body. The seven big fireballs around Zhu Peng's body absorbed the negative energy, darkened and shrunk, and condensed at an extremely high speed while spinning at a high speed.

Finally, Zhu Peng waved his magic wand, and seven dark red highly condensed fireballs flew towards Qiuyue Xueli's enchanted cannon like shooting stars. The center point turned into a big fireball that exploded.

Qiuyue Shirley ran a little slower, and was directly broken by the defensive force field around her body by Foehn, and fell to the ground with her front face, still on her face.

"...Xue Li, are you okay? I didn't expect the newly cultivated Dark Snake Seven Devouring Star Flame to be so powerful, and the negative energy has added too much spell penetration effect." Zhu Peng said while leaning on his magic wand and walking In front of Xue Li, she squatted down with some difficulty trying to help her up.

"Woooo...I hate you the most." Xue Li got up abruptly, pushed with both hands, and pushed Zhu Peng, who was unsteady, to the ground, then turned and ran away with her head down.

Vaguely, Zhu Peng saw that there seemed to be tears running down the girl's cheeks.

"Brother, don't blame Shirley, sister, she has been working hard these years, and she wants to catch up with the progress to help brother. In the end, you are going faster and faster. Now even the newly learned evocation spell, Shirley is no match at all. She must be very sad." At this time, Qiuyue Xue Naili came over and stood behind Zhu Peng.

And Zhu Peng supported his thigh with his hands, stood up again under the terrifying weight of "Esenhard's shell", and stood up straight.After these years of weight-bearing training, Zhu Peng is now able to act normally in armor and even fight with low-intensity weight-bearing, but he was caught off guard by Shirley just now.

"It's okay, Shirley is a bit arrogant, but she is a good-hearted child. Although I prefer the sensible and intelligent type like Xue Nali..." Zhu Peng stretched out his palm, and gently stroked Qiu Yuexue beside her Nelly's jet-black long hair.

And the docile mixed-race girl also leaned her head gently to make her brother more comfortable.

"Speaking of which, brother, why did you suddenly awaken the affinity of the two elements of earth and fire? And judging by the effect of your spell amplification, compared with the data, it is at least about [-] affinity, you can now be said to be evoking A genius."

Element/energy particle affinity is an important indicator for classifying a wizard's innate talent. Forty or fifty is ordinary, sixty or seventy is excellent, and energy particle affinity of eighty or higher can be called a genius.

Not only is it easier to understand and comprehend than other wizards when practicing meditation with a high degree of compatibility, but also to cast spells. The stronger the affinity of energy particles, the greater the power of spells. Generally speaking, the energy of about [-] Particle affinity is the limit of human beings. If the energy particle affinity reaches [-] or even [-], it is not so much a human being as a body of elements.

Such extreme cases are not without exception, but most of them are artificially created by wizards by means of blood pulse modulation. For example, a body bathed in fire with a 180% affinity for fire-type energy particles, and a [-]% affinity for ice-type energy particles The [-] Ice Phoenix Body is just this kind of innate bonus, and the effect will gradually decrease with the continuous improvement of the level of the wizard. When it reaches the stage of the legendary wizard, it becomes a sign of revealing one's own ability tendency.

Of course, if a monster can work harder than someone who is obviously talented, after being promoted to a legend, such a monster will often use its innate tendencies to perfection.

For example, the genius "Fire Scorpion" of the Evocation Department in the Hand of the Prison, "Fire Scorpion" Yin Yi, just because he and Zhu Peng are also known as the Black Castle Shuangbald, he encountered the Burning Blood Organization by accident, and then used his own The strength of the just-promoted legendary wizards was against the five legends of the Burning Blood Group, three of them were shot to death, and two escaped with serious injuries. The horror record resounded throughout the wizarding circle of the Western Continent.

People like Zhu Peng were dawdling in the Principality of Saint Rudin in the Eastern Continent, so they only got the news recently, and nearly three months had passed since that battle.

For some unknown reason, Zhu Peng, who obviously had no outstanding achievements during this period of time, was still ranked alongside the "Fire Scorpion" Silver Wing by the good-for-nothings, but now his name was not Black Castle Double Bald, but Black Castle Double Fierce!

"That 'Fire Scorpion' is extremely arrogant. Although he helped my brother hit the Burning Blood Team, once you meet him, I'm worried that he will attack you." Qiuyue Xue Naili didn't get too entangled in Zhu Peng The sudden awakening of the dual-attribute energy particles has affinity, but he is a little worried about the almost inevitable fight between him and Silver Wing Death in the future.

"It doesn't matter... The me today is only one step away from that step. Now that bald man is busy with the war in the Western Continent, when I appear in front of him, the situation must be completely different." He lowered his head and looked Touch your own palm.

In Zhu Peng's eyes, suddenly there were dark golden animal pupils shining with terrifying animal nature.

Chapter 19 The Great Golden Bow of the Hydra, the Man of the Mountain

After testing the dual-element evocation spells of earth and fire, it showed an absurdly high affinity for elements.

Although these two lines of witchcraft can only be used as supplements to their own combat power, as Zhu Peng's wizard rank continues to increase, their value will inevitably increase. The power and value of a large system are unquestionable.

However, unlike Xue Naili's idea, Zhu Peng's absurdly high spell bonus effect did not come entirely from blood.

Every time he casts the two series of evocation spells of earth and fire, Zhu Peng can feel the great elixir between reality and reality in his dantian, and the "defense" and "fire prison" talismans on it echo with each other.

They are called "defense" and "fire prison", but Zhu Peng is not very clear about the true meaning of these two talismans. Maybe defense can be called "earth" or "heavy", and maybe fire Hell can be called "fire" or "burning".

When the "earth, defense" effect is activated, a pale white halo will appear under Zhu Peng's feet, and his own physical defense and even the defense of his surrounding companions will skyrocket due to this.

When the "fire, burning" effect is activated, Zhu Peng's own fire control ability, aggressiveness, destruction, and lethality will all be greatly improved, but it cannot form a halo that spreads to other units, and the "Fire Hell" Jindan talisman It is far more illusory and fuzzy than "defense", and Zhu Peng's comprehension in this aspect is also lacking.

Of course, obtaining defense is a matter of course in the Zen Da world, and obtaining Hell is an accident in the world of mental imagery. It's not that there is no comprehension at all, but the level of comprehension in this aspect is obviously not as high as the former!

Just now Shirley ran away crying, Zhu Peng originally planned to go over to comfort this mentally fragile little sister, but was stopped by Qiuyue Xue Naili.

"If my brother goes now, I'm afraid things will get worse and worse, Shirley has such a strong temper." Xue Naili said with her head tilted, and then she smiled.

"Brother, go get busy with your own affairs. I will go to comfort Shirley. After all, she is not too young. If she didn't become a wizard, she should have a child of her own by now. How can she still be so self-willed and always trouble you brother?" Woolen cloth."

"...Well, that's fine." Zhu Peng thought about it for a while, and it was the same reason. After all, Xue Naili was Xue Li's older sister. If she went, it would be more effective than going by herself.

After making a decision, Zhu Peng changed his clothes and returned to the Custer family mansion from the ground through identifying the magic circle. This mansion was remodeled by the church, and each room was decorated with armored men holding sharp weapons. It's not just a decoration, if someone breaks in without passing the identification of the magic circle, the gargoyle sleeping in the armor will wake up.

These gargoyles are version 2.0 remodeled by Ma Qianrong, who was promoted to a second-level wizard. Their combat power has been greatly improved, and they have wings on their backs. They are densely distributed in the key points of the entire mansion, closely guarding the secrets of the Custer family.

After Zhu Peng left, Qiuyue Xue Naili ordered his servants to clean up the venue.

The Custer family also tested and cultivated some of the most loyal and loyal servants, because the masters of the Custer family are wizards, which is not a secret that cannot be revealed, so there is no need to kill anyone who knows the point.

It belongs to the level of non-spread and non-proliferation, but it is not strictly guarded against.

After all, this world has been enslaved by the wizarding world for tens of thousands of years, openly and secretly. The status of wizards in the hearts of the people is almost like a god. Proper exposure will improve centripetal force and cohesion.

However, those who can come to the basement to be present are after all the most loyal servants who have been tested. Most of them are orphans and widowed mothers. Only by relying entirely on the Custer family can they have a good life and a bright future. For example, the face in front of Chennai Some mean middle-aged women.

She was originally the wife of a butcher in Nuoka Town. Later, the drunken butcher got into a fight and was killed. She was widowed with an unexpectedly smart and handsome son. It is conceivable that the days of gossip and rumors are miserable and difficult, with more than ten years of poverty and pain. Nian forcibly tortured an originally pretty little daughter-in-law into a vicious and mean woman.

When the Custer family came, Chennai asked her to be the head maid, giving her higher treatment than other maids, and also found a decent management job for her clever son in the mine.

The simple way of buying people's hearts has become irresistible because of the strong and abundant capital. Now the woman named "Ai" in front of Qiuyue Xue Naili is already loyally working for the Custer family.

Of course, it is not purely because of gratitude, but because everything she has now is given to her by this family. It took more than ten years for Ai to regain dignity and happiness. Now whoever wants to touch the Custer family, she will Prepare poisoned wine for him without hesitation.

And my brother is too talkative, and other people don't have much interest and talent in management. When Chennai manages the Noda Custer family, she also needs such a sharp, mean and even vicious woman as a knife in her hand.

"Ai, ask someone to take care of it, and everything will return to normal." Xue Naili casually pointed at the training ground that had been turned upside down by Zhu Peng and Xue Li, and then turned to leave.

However, at this time, the head maid Ai suddenly said behind her: "Miss, there is a document that has been on your desk for a long time without signing. It is about a business in the mine. I need you to take time to look it over."

"...Understood." Unless the amount is relatively large, Zhu Peng has gradually handed over the authority to Xue Naili over the years even for the income and expenditure of the Thunder Crystal Mine.

The girl with long black hair and German-Japanese mixed race hesitated a little when she returned to the mansion through the identification of the magic circle. She thought about her sister's character, and felt that Shirley would be fine if she cried. I still choose to walk in the direction of my room first, my brother's business can't make mistakes, even if my brother doesn't care that much, but at least I can't make any mistakes in my hands.

At this time, Zhu Peng was flipping through books about earth-fire double-element evocation witchcraft in his study room. There were stacks of drawings all around the room, which were full of various designs. Sketches and parameters that have been experimentally measured.

With the advancement of wizards, Zhu Peng now designs and manufactures strategies, tactics, and battle cards. He can no longer rely on inspiration and luck as he did during his apprenticeship, because more and more witchcraft knowledge is involved. The materials that need to be invested are becoming more and more expensive.

After becoming an official wizard, Zhu Peng had the habit of drawing sketches and storing experimental parameters, and as the level of wizards increased, Zhu Peng drew more and more sketches before making a card. There are more and more configuration verification experiments, and more and more experimental parameters are reserved.

When he was promoted to the second-level wizard, when designing and depicting the Red Flame Steel Armored Dragon, because of the design blueprint content and related knowledge reserves that the necromancer old wizard had already had, Zhu Peng slightly ignored it.

As a result, a lot of precious magic materials were invested, and the final portrayed red flame steel armored dragon was only of dark blue quality. After this result came out, Zhu Peng's heart twitched in pain.

But because of this, he has also learned a lesson. Every time he makes a card, Zhu Peng is now cautious.

Zhu Peng's current strategy card is only the boundary card that has just been promoted to the second level: "Soul-bound Green Grassland/Desperate Bone Field", a dark blue quality card.

There are only strengthening cards for the battle card: one piece of "Magic Blood Fury", blue quality.

The remaining five cards are all tactical summoning cards, making magic cards: Mutated Mud (Gold Quality), Purgatory Demon Dog Arthurs (Tier [-] Gold Quality), Parasitic Heart Dark God (Blue Quality), Red Flame Steel Armored Dragon (dark blue quality), night poisonous spider Andariel (dark gold quality).

Among them, except for the purgatory magic dog Arthurs who was forcibly upgraded to the third level or even the legendary first level, the other four summoner magic cards are all second level.

(Now I have a loan-developed dog head, a full-body Kogas, a steel bobby and a spider, four guarantees and one barbarian king... Uh, no, I'm not a barbarian king, I'm an elegant mid-lane wizard, not a drum A muscular barbarian who wields a big sword and cuts people everywhere... I have been a martial artist for too many years, and I always subconsciously misposition. According to traditional tactical thinking, next I should describe a pure output familiar.)

(However, if the familiar is purely output, with its vitality and defensive toughness, it may be difficult to survive the terrifying offensive witchcraft of high-level wizards. If there are too many deaths in a short period of time, or the unit suffers too much damage, the card will be broken... …or should I make a high-sensitivity, high-stealth burst assassin familiar?)

Following the thoughts in his mind, Zhu Peng finally drew up two types of designs for summoning familiars:

One is a fuzzy human figure holding a huge and gorgeous Hydra golden giant bow. The focus is not on the person, but on the powerful and terrifying output capability of the Hydra golden giant bow. If this card is drawn into shape, it represents Zhu With the innovation of Peng's overall tactics, all summoned familiars are no longer fighting alone. The cooperation between each other and the continuous output of the team will become the focus of future development.

But this kind of extreme card, even if Zhu Peng can draw it, it may be difficult to keep it. High-level wizards are not blind, and each one is smarter than the other. When Zhu Peng summons this card during the battle , They hit all the powerful spells one by one, can Zhu Peng stop it?

Go up and block it yourself, or let the demon block it?

Which familiar will block it?

Can you stop it?

The other is the image of a huge black-robed skeleton walking out of the mist of the mountains, an assassin-like summoning familiar. After thinking for a while, Zhu Peng first gave it a name: the old man of the mountain.

This name represents a very powerful and mysterious inheritance in the world of earth martial arts: the old man in the mountain.

The old man in the mountain, the master of assassination martial arts by ancient Muslims, in the martial arts circles of Western countries and the Arab world, is equivalent to figures like Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng in China.
