The Witcher: Lord of the Elements

Seeing this book, Dole knew that he had found a treasure. He turned his head and looked at Otto, only to see that he had quietly finished eating the vegetable balls and was sitting there quietly, looking at him.

At this time Otto got up, came to the side of Doré, lay down, and continued to lick his hand.

Oduo the dog is really thinking at this moment, damn it, I am a majestic abyssal dog, trying to imitate a real dog, trying to please a human being, if other dogs know about it, what is the face of the dog?

Why! ! !

But looking at Dole like this, it seems that he knows what this book is, and the effect is not bad!

Looking at his shocked little eyes and his shocked expression, it's really refreshing.

The dog Otto was very happy, as if he was happy because he had done something extraordinary, and his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

But it was almost dark at this time, and the weather was so dark that even though Dolei had endless doubts in his heart, he couldn't do anything at this time. As for taking the book outside, he dared not, if he was caught by those nobles or The samurai saw it, and estimated that he would be killed immediately.

Thinking of this, he shivered mentally.

Where did this dog get the book from? I haven't seen this book for hundreds of years, and now there are people who have it?Could it be from a noble family in Dormont City?

In Domon City, those who are qualified and able to practice martial arts are the nobles and rich families, and the families that can collect books hundreds of years ago are the Lin Ke family and the Aoun family, the deputy city lord. Only they have a long history. , might bookmark this type of book.

But neither the Santo's family nor the Aoun's family had high-level wizards, only warriors. Now that I think about it, this book has another source.

The weather slowly turned dark, and then I couldn't see anything in the room. Dole put out the thought of continuing to read. As for the lights, there are not many in the entire slum. Even if there are, they are not for reading, but for work. He remembered that there was an oil lamp at Aunt Anne's house, but it was used at night to sew clothes for the nobles, and she was reluctant to use it at ordinary times.

The poor in the slums are very poor. Most of them can’t afford to buy clothes, let alone buy oil lamps to read at night. Only nobles and rich people can do it, they are not worthy.

Thinking of this, some strangeness came into Dole's heart. Why can't they do it, it's not fair.

Thinking of this, Dole's mind became alive.

He got up, went to the head of the bed, in front of Otto's kennel, hugged the other books he had stolen, and put them under his pillow.These books, no matter where Odo stole them from, he must read them, and he must read them carefully.

With this in mind, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In the dark night, Odo's eyes glowed brightly, watching Dolei fall asleep, he stood up slowly, his tail did not wag, and his body was straight.

Looking outside, it was just dark and there were still people walking around, so he held his nerves and sat down slowly.

The magic crystal is a good thing. It is full of various energy elements. As long as there are enough energy elements, you can recover quickly. However, the magic crystal in the mine where Dole went to is only a little bit, and it is estimated that it can be absorbed in three to five days. , but better than nothing.

At the end of the day, he felt that his injury was much better, and he was no longer the same as before. This was all due to the trip to the magic crystal mine last night. It would be great if there was a small magic crystal mine.

Thinking of this, Otto looked outside, expecting the time to pass quickly.

An hour passed, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the dog Otto stood up slowly, came to Dole, and gave him a magic aura as usual, then retreated to the door, looked outside, At this time, the slums were dead silent, except for some drunken drunkards, there was no one around at all.

Seeing this, he quietly opened the door, then quickly slipped out, and soon reached the outside of the city.

The mine has not changed from yesterday, only some traces of the work done during the day. When Otto came here, he found that there were some changes between today and yesterday. This mine has been mined a bit.

There is no one in the mine at night, it is quiet, only the sound of some insects, and in the quiet mountain, there are only stones as companions.

Odo didn't relax his vigilance, and walked around carefully. When he was sure that there was no one there, he relaxed, released his mental power, went deep underground, and started his day's work.

Suction ore.

No, it is to absorb the subtle energy elements in the mine veins. If he is in the city, he can only swallow the magic crystal mine into his stomach, and then slowly absorb it. Otherwise, the magic wave can easily attract other people, but here , You can swagger and absorb it without anyone.

Soon, the night passed, and when it was almost dawn, he quietly slipped back into the city.

After one night of absorption, he felt that his injuries had recovered a little, and he was very happy.

Slipping quietly back to his kennel, Otto the dog heaved a sigh of relief.In fact, he also knows that in this city, there is no decent power, at most there is only one level, and with his current level two strength, he can come and go freely as he pleases.

But be careful to sail a ship that lasts ten thousand years, this is a proverb of the human race, and he deeply understands this truth.

Pretending to lie down, after about half an hour, Dole woke up.

Same as yesterday, Dole repeated all the previous actions, met Uncle Dodo in the market, and then walked towards the mine. He still remembered what happened yesterday, so he quietly looked around when he was at the door, and did not find Odo , Only then did I feel relieved.

Uncle Dodo saw that Dole was a little weird. When he entered the small river, he finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Dole, why are you sneaking around?"

Dole shrugged and said, "I beat Odo yesterday."

Dodo was taken aback immediately, and looked around vigilantly. There was no Odo, and his father. While he was relieved, he said to Dole in shock, "What's wrong with you, why did you fight?" Otto?"

Dollet said, "I'm hungry, and I have to eat enough to be able to work. Two vegetable balls a night are not enough. I still want to eat meat. Otto robbed me of my money. It was possible before, but not now. "

Chapter 7 Escape

Dodu sighed, and said, "Then you be careful, that kid Odo is very cautious, be careful that he finds someone to beat you up, his father is Sam in charge, if you can get a martial arts instructor, be careful."

Dole also sighed at this time, and said, "I will be careful. If he comes later, I will run away. At worst, I won't do anything here."

The Bianchi Mine is one of the average mines in Domon City, but the treatment here is good, even if you have two meals, most people will not think of leaving, but if they are constantly making trouble, Dole just had to leave.

Today's task is to wash the gold ore. In addition to the gold ore, they also found another kind of precious metal, which is silver ore, which is not in accordance with the regulations. The two of them sorted out this ore honestly. It was not hidden either, and it was placed on the bank of the river, waiting for someone to collect it.

When eating in the morning, the overseer came to collect the ore. Although there was an extra type of ore, the overseer didn’t say anything and took it away. Someone would deal with it, but at this time Otto found that the vegetable balls left for him were only Half of it was left. There were originally two, but now there was only one left, and his face immediately sank.

It turned out that he was waiting for him here. Steward Lime was really protecting his son.

Seeing this, Dodo also sighed, but he didn't share his vegetable balls with Dole, but ate his own. Dole didn't care about it, and took out the extra vegetable balls he bought in the morning .

Fortunately, I had been prepared, and I bought an extra copper plate of vegetable balls when I came here just now.

Vegetable balls are different from rice balls. Most of the rice balls are made of dough, which contains a lot of energy for the human body to consume, while most of the food balls are made of vegetables, which have no energy, but can be full. If you do a lot of physical activity, you will get hungry very quickly. Dole even wonders if this continues, will he starve to death.

If it is like this at noon and afternoon, he will have to consider whether to continue working here.

If you can't eat enough, how can you still have the strength to work? After a long time, people will lose money.

This is what the master who taught them elementary martial arts back then said, people, if they have strength, they must eat enough, if they eat meat, if they don't eat enough, if they don't eat meat, they will have nothing to do in this life.

Although Dole was born in a slum, there is a rule in the Northern Kingdom that before the age of ten, he must undergo three months of martial arts training and three years of cultural training, so Dole can master a little martial arts skills and some writing.

He sighed and continued to work.

Duo Lai and Duo Du are partners, but their salaries are three times different. Duo Lai is still a child, and his daily workload is limited, and he spends most of his time helping Duo Duo, so he doesn't need to use too much energy. See At this point, Dodo is also a little depressed. If Dole is taken away, it will be a problem who will partner with him.

At noon and in the afternoon, as expected by Dolle, he still reduced his supplies, didn’t have enough to eat, how to work, and in the afternoon, Dolle was stared at by the supervisor, as long as he dared to If you stop, you will probably be whipped immediately.

Looking at the eager supervisor, Duo Lai knew that he could not stay in this place, but the amazing thing was that he didn't eat much and still didn't lose much energy. It was really strange that he didn't give the supervisor a pump for the whole day. own chance.

Mines rarely deduct wages from workers, even if there is a conflict with the supervisor, because this will cause resistance from other workers, and the supervisor will not do it. The mine boss always says that the supervisor is not important, and the mine relies on It is these workers.

In the afternoon, the two went to change together. Dodo and Dole, who received the money, smiled at each other and walked out together. But when they went out, Dole touched a wooden stick at the door and held it in his hand.

At the entrance of the mine, Odo's face was covered with gauze, covering the whole nose, looking a bit miserable, not only the nose, but the face near the nose was blue.

Beside him, four young punks were standing around with sticks in their hands, staring at the door.

They didn't dare to stand directly at the gate, so they guarded not far from the gate.

At this moment, one of them yelled loudly and said, "Boss Odo, it's Dole, he's come out."

Odo also saw Dole, of course, with a fierce expression on his face. He didn't pay attention yesterday and was punched. He was hungry all day today, so he dared to be arrogant at night.

When the people around saw this, they avoided it one after another.

For adults, this is just a fight between children, just to watch the excitement, but when it comes to management matters, no one is willing to intervene in it, and they don't even want to watch it, so they leave quickly.

Dodo stood beside Dole, sighed, and said, "Be careful, Dole." At this moment, he saw the stick behind Dole and didn't say a word. He knew that after today, he might not be able to see him again. It's Dole, he looks like this, I guess today will not be very good.

Dole nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't speak.

The two walked out of the gate, Uncle Duo quickly left Duo Lai, and Duo Lai walked forward along the flow of people as if nothing had happened.

At this time Odo was already standing at the door with the four big hands, just waiting for Dorai to come out, the sticks in their hands were beating their palms up and down, and they were slowly approaching.

Normally, Dolle must walk slowly at this time, waiting for them to come up to rob, and they will leave to rob others after the robbing, but today Dole made up his mind to prevent them from succeeding, so naturally he would not wait foolishly. They come.

As soon as he got out of the mine, Duo Lai intentionally stood on the outside of the crowd, and ran forward along the crowd at an extremely fast speed.

"Chasing." Seeing this, Odo's nose hurt from anger, his face was flushed red, he stretched out his hand and ran over immediately.

But Dolle was on the other side of the crowd, and they had to go through the crowd to catch up to Dolle.

Duo Lai worked all year round. Although he trained his upper body, his running speed was also very fast. When he ran out, he was like a wild horse galloping along the road out of the mountain.

Going down from the mine, it is about seven or eight miles to the city gate before reaching the city gate. In front of the city gate is a scattered market. As Dole ran, he looked back. At the beginning, he could see Odo fiercely and then at the back, Otto would not be able to catch up with him, and they had no horses, so they couldn't catch up at all.

Seeing this, Duo Lai stopped by the side of the road, bowed his back, put his hands on his knees, panted heavily, and calmed down, he thought, what happened today is over, what about tomorrow?

He sighed in his heart, and when he recovered his breath, Duo Lai followed the official road and walked to the market alone.

This time, he bought an extra rice ball for three copper coins, because he won't be able to work tomorrow.

Back home, the hell dog Odo poked out his head from the inside, looked left and right, and licked a few mouthfuls of Dole's palm vigorously. When Dole came in, he waited obediently for Dole to feed, although Rice balls are not the staple food of the Hell Demon Dog, and they have gotten used to it after eating them these days.

Ah, not bad, three vegetable balls today, Duo Lai made a fortune?

Chapter 8 Battle Posture

Odo soon felt that something was wrong, because Dolly seemed to be in the wrong mood when he came back.

He didn't know what happened, so he could only stand in front of Dole, wagging his tail, expressing his doubts.

Dole looked at Otto, the young man's face was full of the vicissitudes of his 40s, he sighed, and said to Otto, "Eat, eat today, there will be nothing to eat tomorrow, damn Otto, I must fix you."

The hell dog Odo immediately understood that this was probably caused by Dorai offending the boy who often robbed him, and lost his job?

The hellhound immediately thought of paying attention. He quickly ran to Dorai's bed, used his paws to dig open the pillow and tattered old clothes, found the book Dorai read yesterday, and held it in front of him.

As long as this little thing can learn a little bit of the above and become a warrior, he will have no worries about food and clothing.

Dole also complained a few words, and didn't think that Odo could help him. At this moment, he felt that Odo was abnormal. He actually came over with the book he read yesterday. What does it mean? This book is indeed a good book. If I can practice it successfully, I will definitely be successful in the future, but now I can hardly eat, and I am about to starve to death. Is it useful to read this book?

I ran all the way here today, it was still dark, and I could still read a few, so Dole didn't care about Odo's abnormality. He picked up the book from Odo's mouth, walked to the bed, lay down lazily, and adjusted a comparison. Comfortable posture, then yesterday's content looks.

Naruye, as a legendary magic warrior, has a lot of previous introductions, abilities, achievements, ways of thinking, contributions to the human race, and final achievements. Even after hundreds of years, Dole has heard of this name. Seeing him After the historical achievements, in fact, there is some enthusiasm in my heart.

Human god of war, legendary magician, legendary magic warrior, these titles are added to one person, which is unimaginable. You must know that in the modern world, it is a great thing for an empire to have such a strong man. In the Northern Kingdom, only the legendary magician Aojia has this title, and bears the most important power in the Northern Kingdom. I don't know how many people are idols, dream lovers, or objects of pursuit.

Duo Lai's heart was surging, but it was only a feeling of emotion. Whether it was Naruye or Aojia's legendary magician, they were all unattainable existences, just look at them.

Turning a new page, a line of words appeared on the book, elementary body training technique.

Below is a line of words, introducing the origin, creator and historical changes of the primary body training technique, but these words have begun to be blurred, and Duo Lai didn't know more words at first, and now he is even more blind.

Just bypass these words and look down.

The first item, fighting posture.

There is a picture drawn in the book, the picture is named one, it is a person sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his hands folded in front of his chest, and his feet are in a strange position, crossed on the ground, which looks very weird.

After looking at this posture carefully, Dole got up from the bed and gestured carefully. He could barely do it, but his legs were so sore and numb that he couldn't keep it for a long time. He played for a while and continued to look down. The figure below is to introduce the role of this posture.

Calm down, center, concentrate, adjust body posture, adjust bone development and other effects, and prepare for the next posture at the same time.

When Dole saw this, he immediately became a little interested. After reading the introduction below, this is a posture that needs to be maintained for a long time, so he did it according to the requirements.

The movement is not difficult, and you can do it with a little effort, but it is difficult to maintain it. After doing it for a while, Dolei felt his legs numb, and he relaxed as if his legs would be useless without moving them.

After writing down all the main points, he picked up the book again and looked at the next pose.

The next posture is a standing posture, with the front and rear feet separated, in a figure-eight shape, with the hands in front and back, the front hand is a palm, the back hand is a fist, and the elbows are hanging down, as if standing on the ground ready to hit someone, but There are many important points in this posture. The back is slightly arched, and the fists and palms seem to have not yet been released. It is a very interesting movement.

Dole took a few glances, wrote down the main points, then put down the book, got up from the bed, and followed suit.

The movements are not difficult, and the main points are very simple, but there is only one point, that is, it is difficult to persist. It is the same as the sitting posture. If you stand for three to five minutes, you will feel sore shoulders and thighs.

But this aroused Dole's interest even more. He has been in the mine for the past few years and practiced hammers every day. good.

He stood for a while, sat for a while, and soon it was very dark.

People in the slums are very quiet. After dark, except for some people whispering, there is no sound. It is very poor here. Even the poor will not come here, let alone thieves. A thief might starve to death here in the slums.

People in the slums are very insensitive, and few people communicate with others.

At nine o'clock in the evening, just as Dolly was practicing vigorously, Odo, who was sitting in the kennel watching Dory practice boxing, suddenly turned his head and stood up from the ground.

Dolle was also taken aback by Otto's move. Seeing Otto looking out the door, Dolle became vigilant, and asked subconsciously, "Is there anyone?"

Odo tapped his chin lightly, and then raised it again. Was he afraid that someone would come over? After sucking the ore veins for two days, his strength has now returned to around level two. As long as it is not above level two, it can make the other party have Back and forth.

Doré was taken aback by Odo's humanized appearance. He walked to the gate cautiously, pricked up his ears, and listened to the movement outside.

Soon, he heard the sound of several footsteps, which were rapidly approaching him.

Dole didn't know if the master of these footsteps was coming to his side, because he offended that bastard Otto during the day, if he came, it would be troublesome.

He looked at Otto the dog, then looked at the window door, and he immediately paid attention.
