On how to avoid being cannon fodder

Undead magic is a kind of spiritual magic, and it is not a taboo that everyone screams in the Druya ​​Empire without belief.However, due to its particularity, few magicians are willing to learn and research, so that this partial magic has almost cut off its inheritance.But there is a reason why Han Yanghao was able to say that he was interested in undead magic and was not judged by the will of the world. Just before the sacrifice began, he witnessed the "resurrection" of a guard who tried to disobey the order and was killed. .The guard originally had blue pupils, but after being resurrected, they turned golden. He was also assigned a set of white armor covering his whole body. Since then, he has obeyed the words of the envoy.

The guard was obviously no longer human, but he himself didn't realize it, and so did the other guards around him who saw all this, and even became more devout.It was only then that Han Yanghao discovered with horror that none of the core members of this temple was a "living person".The envoy seemed to believe that Han Yanghao was going to die, so he didn't shy away from him at all, and just let him watch the whole process.

This method reminded Han Yanghao of the puppet art in the previous world.

Ji Wenyuan took over the treasure house and envoy study room of Fengming Palace, but as expected, he did not find any information about undead magic—after all, it seems that the so-called "envoy" itself is the god of Fengming Palace. From the body, from the beginning to the end, he was playing tricks alone, there was no need to write down what he had learned to leave a loophole.

Then, Ji Wenyuan took his breath away and ran to the boundary of another small town before stopping.

The car he hired before was no longer there, so Han Yanghao had no choice but to take a ride with the caravan to the city of Ancosta where the great alchemist was located.Seeing that one of them is a mage and the other is a warrior, the people in the caravan rented them a carriage cheaply and politely, so they started a regular life of traveling during the day and resting at night.And Han Yanghao began to study the books from the collection of the white-haired angel in the car. Most of these books belonged to spells, and many of them involved alchemy, which made him very satisfied.In this era, knowledge belongs to the nobles, talent alone cannot make a head start, and Qi Feng, who was born as a commoner, had no access to profound and exquisite alchemy formulas before, otherwise he wouldn't be an alchemy apprentice with excellent alchemy talent.With these books, he can naturally show a higher level of alchemy and magic, which will definitely be very helpful for destroying the plot later.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and a month later, they returned to Ancosta City smoothly.

When entering the city, Han Yanghao was reading the "History of the World" found from Fengming Palace. Seeing Ji Wenyuan, who had gone with the caravan to pay the city fee, returned to the car, his slender fingers lightly tapped the pages of the book, and said casually: "Sakya, do you know? According to legend, the Black Dragon is an existence of the same level as the Golden Holy Dragon, the emperor of the Dragon Clan. Before the outbreak of the World War 2000 years ago, the Black Dragon was not 'cursed by the gods' like the current rumors on the mainland. ’, but a god’s favor. The golden holy dragon is naturally proficient in all kinds of magic, while the black dragon has a ‘speaking spirit’, I don’t know if it’s true.”

Ji Wenyuan checked the black dragon's memory and confirmed that it had never heard anything about Yan Ling.Sakya's parents died when it was still an egg, anyway, there is no such thing in its past experience.Word spirits were either invented by historians or they took back this ability when the world was short of origin."Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter now," he said.

Han Yanghao smiled noncommittally.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the mage tower of Ryan Sokolov.The people from the caravan bid farewell to them, while Han Yanghao led Ji Wenyuan to the gate of the mage tower.

The person who came to answer the door was a bit unexpected.

Han Yanghao looked up at the two-meter-tall man in front of him in astonishment, and asked hesitantly, "You... who are you?"

Fuck! Fuck!Why is the protagonist here at this point in time?

That's right, you don't need to answer Han Yanghao to know who the thick-backed, flaxen-haired and pupil-colored man in front of you is. With this face coupled with the powerful aura unique to the Knight Commander of the Holy See, it is definitely that half-human-dragon Bernard Arthur!It stands to reason that the protagonist and his friends should arrive at Ryan's place in 20 days. How come they are here now?

Bernal is a standard knight with an upright face.He is different from Ji Wenyuan's well-proportioned and strong body. His large muscles make him so strong that even the two-centimeter-thick plate armor on his body can't cover him. Pressure, even if there is no fierce expression on Bernal's handsome face...

Bernal said with some doubts: "I'm Bernal Arthur, from the Holy See of Light, you..." He wanted to say something, but he saw Ji Wenyuan from the corner of his eye, and the knight's serious face flushed instantly , like a young man who has just met his idol: "You, are you Lord Sakya, the black armored knight?"

Han Yanghao: "..."

Ji Wenyuan: "Well, you know me?"

The knight commander's eyes brightened immediately, and he bowed at ninety degrees as soon as he bent down: "Hi, senior! I am your admirer! I grew up listening to your stories, and I have always hoped to see you... I, I, am so honored!"

Ji Wenyuan: "Oh, since childhood, how old are you?"

The knight looked admiring and admiring: "Yes! I am 37 this year!" The legend of the black armor knight appeared about 30 years ago, and it was no problem for Bernal to hear it when he was young.

Ji Wenyuan thought the child was quite cute, smiled and encouraged him: "Yes, you have great potential."

Humans in this world live an average of 37 years, and knights and magicians are a little longer, but they usually don't exceed [-] years old. [-] is still very young, not to mention that he still has a part of dragon blood.

After being praised by the knight commander, his cheeks blushed, his expression seemed to be floating with happiness, and he welcomed Ji Wenyuan in attentively, almost completely ignoring Han Yanghao who was beside him.As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw a rich man in black robes coming out of the inner room, holding a bowl of fruit in his hand.The man looked at Bernal in surprise: "Hey, it's rare to see our knight commander look like this. Could it be... that he saw your idol?" He looked suspiciously at Ji Wenyuan, who was wearing a black armor, and tried Asked: "Are you the ink armor knight Sakya?"

Ji Wenyuan instinctively felt something was wrong. Why did everyone seem to know that Bernal's idol was the black armored knight Sakya?The original plot did say that Bernal's idol is Sakya, but this was only revealed when Sakya said goodbye.Usually Bernal is also very restrained. The previous gaffe can be understood as Bernal suddenly seeing his idol and couldn't help it, but the rich man who appears now is clearly the "necromancer" who just teamed up with the protagonist for more than a month in the plot. "Rendell, how do you know this?

Having said that, I have to mention that the Holy See of Light in this world sounds like a religious organization, but!Its full name is "the central management organization that protects and leads mankind to the light". ", "Orphan Shelter", "Alchemy Items Direct Sales Store", etc., can be described as a panacea for hard work, a legitimate conscience organization where there is a shortage of people to fill.Maybe one day this organization will rot and go bad, but at least for now it's still alive and well for Druya.God of light?heresy?Hunting and killing spirit magicians?Hehe, it doesn't exist.

Ji Wenyuan glanced at Bernal who was standing next to him, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency."

The rich man Lundell smiled playfully: "Oh, oh, it turns out that you are really His Excellency Sakya. There is also a child in our team who also admires you. I think he will be very happy to see you."

one left?

Ji Wenyuan's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "My honor."

The situation is a bit wrong. The plot doesn’t say that there is another armored knight in the protagonist group who worships the armored knight. After all, except for the talented Bernal, the other team members are not young, and they will not throw down their face to worship a mercenary A young man of birth.The fame of the Black Armored Knights has only risen in recent years, and they have not yet gained a firm foothold in the circle of top powerhouses, and those who can be selected to join the Dragon Hunting Squad are basically all big names with great reputations. Before surpassing the power of the armored knight Saga, it is inevitable that he will be a little contemptuous of him, which can be seen from Rendell's attitude.Where did that other admirer come from?

Rendell really didn't take the "black armor knight" too seriously.He is more than 120 years old this year, and the long years have allowed him to meet too many "peerless powerhouses", more than [-]% of them are just hypocrites for fame, deliberately making something different for themselves to attract attention, But it is very likely that they can't even beat a city guard soldier.This guy has indeed not been exposed until now, what about "the five-meter-long ivory was publicly auctioned in Fika City after single-handedly confronting the giant mammoth", what about "when one person hunted a group of shadow moon wolves and was recruited by the first large mercenary group I categorically refuse", there are many gossips that don't know the truth or falsehood, but is it necessary for someone who is really capable to promote himself in such a high-profile manner?Of course, he will not show obvious emotions until he is sure whether this person likes a master who likes to be seductive or a fool who loves vanity. Although undead spells are not forbidden, they are always dreadful. If he is really that good at being a human being It was already killed by the underhand.

"Okay, come with me, they just went to the conference hall." Rendell turned and led the way.

After walking two steps, Ji Wenyuan found that Han Yanghao hadn't followed, looked back suspiciously, and saw the young man walking in another direction with his head down, holding the alchemy materials in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Qi Feng, where are you going? "

Han Yanghao looked up at him quickly, and said in a low voice, "I...I'll go to the warehouse to store the raw materials for alchemy."

Ji Wenyuan froze for a moment: "Then, I..."

He was about to say something when he heard Bernal calling him to follow behind him. After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Then I'll go see your teacher, and then I'll come to you." Then he turned and left.

Han Yanghao stood there waiting for him to walk away, then slowly raised his head to look in the direction he left.His fingers hidden under the wide sleeves trembled slightly, his face was terribly pale, his dark pupils were empty, helplessness and sorrow seemed to overwhelm the solid wall erected in his heart and overflowed.How could he have forgotten that that person was a famous and powerful knight, while he... was just a useless apprentice who was bullied by others.People who are originally from two worlds, how can they go up so far because they are greedy for the tenderness of the moment?

I should have known it long ago, I should have guessed it long ago, how could I wait until I came back here to wake up...

A thin mist filled his eyes, but he couldn't hide the deep inferiority and pain in his eyes.

It's been a dream for more than a month, it's time to wake up.He lowered his head again and walked towards the warehouse with heavy steps.He came to the door of the alchemy material warehouse in a daze, and the alchemy apprentice on duty today saw him at a glance, giggled and leaned over and said in a strange voice: "Yo, isn't this our great genius Qi Feng? How about it, let's go out for a while Has Yue become a great alchemist?"

Han Yanghao pursed his lips without answering, walked into the warehouse with his head down and began to sort out the alchemy materials.

The man still refused to let him go, and followed him in: "Since you are back, help me count the remaining inventory of other materials. Hey, do you hear me?"

Han Yanghao was doing his own thing in silence, without any reaction.

The man got angry, and kicked Han Yanghao on the crook of his leg, kicking him to the ground and cursing: "Fuck! How dare you pretend not to hear, you useless trash? Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Ah? Talk to me!" !” He kicked a few more times, and didn’t stop until he heard the boy’s trembling voice begging for mercy.

Han Yanghao swallowed his anger and finished everything, returned to the room tiredly and threw himself on the bed.His delicate face was still stained with tears, his eyes were tightly closed, and his eyebrows were twitched, making him look extremely aggrieved.After lying down for a while, he buried his face in the blanket again.No one could see that his pitch-black eyes had quietly opened, and the original pain of inferiority had completely disappeared, leaving only a sense of indifference.

Very good, as long as you keep this state now, the human design will not collapse.

The world is clearly very problematic.The two of them haven't made any small moves so far, so it's unlikely to affect the direction of the plot. So where did the "Fengming Palace" we met before come from?

There is only one answer - the world of the same origin.

This unbelieving Western fantasy world coexists with another modern world that believes in cultivating immortals. Only what happens in the other world will cause this world to be affected and this collapsed situation will appear.And this kind of influence is obviously not limited to Fengming Palace, like the early appearance of the protagonist group, like the abnormally exposed admiration of the protagonist Bernal, like the inexplicably extra "worshipper teammate".

"The protagonist of that world seemed to be writing a novel when we entered this world..."

Of course, that is not ordinary novel writing, but starting from writing novels, constructing an illusory but real fantasy kingdom, so as to establish its position as a god.And what could be more real than a world that actually exists?Of course not, so the World Will of that world opened up its protagonist, directly copied a copy of the script and world structure of the homologous Western Fantasy world and stuffed it into the protagonist's mind, and then slowly unsealed the guide and pretended to be him Immediately, his own aura was perfected.Since it is just a novel, many people in that world will know the future direction of this world. If something happens and people from that world come here, he will most likely get close to the protagonist group on purpose, and then criticize the protagonist and their behavior. Carry out all kinds of invisible guidance and interference to achieve their own goals.

And already know how to maximize the use of the plot?Of course, pretending to be an "astrologer" who is proficient in prophecy.

"The penultimate member of the protagonist group, that is, before coming to the master alchemist, they will go to the greatest astrologer of the Druya ​​Empire, 'Hefes', for help."

Only in this way can we explain why the protagonist arrives ahead of time—after all, he has already met an astrologer who "knows things like a god", so why bother?

Moreover, this person may have predicted the arrival of the Black Armored Knight Saga. The worst thing is that the name of the Black Armored Knight has been repeatedly mentioned and admired. This can explain why so many people know that Bernal worships the Black Armored Knight—very Few people can keep calm when they hear others keep praising their idols in front of them-at least people like Bernal can't.In the original plot, Bernal held back because it was not easy to flatter another young man among a group of old seniors, but now that someone helped him start this, he naturally had a lot less scruples.This also means that this person must know that Sakya will show great strength when he is here to help out, so he is not worried that the previous boasting will make other people in the team feel bad-because sooner or later they will know that Sakya has no less than The strength of his reputation, and because of this, Sakya will also have a good impression of his "admirer".

"So he doesn't know that Sakya is a black dragon, and he has been planning to recruit him for a long time."

To increase the bargaining chips for the final tough battle, this is his ultimate goal of wanting Sakya to favor him.And he didn't know that Sakya was the black dragon. It may be that the protagonist of that world has not been written here, or it may be because the truth is too cruel to be written out. This is not against human nature.

As for that person simply worshiping Sakya?Han Yanghao didn't think so.Being able to fool other old monsters in the protagonist's team, that "traveler" can't be a fool.And it is very difficult for a smart person to worship and love another person he has never met without purpose or reason, and he himself has a deep understanding of this.

Han Yanghao narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous aura in his eyes.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

……

When Ji Wenyuan walked into the conference hall, he saw sitting in the conference hall.One of them is the same guardian knight as Bernal, most likely the deputy knight commander "Hogg" who also came from the Holy See in the plot; the white-bearded old man sitting on the main seat must be the master of the mage tower, the great alchemist Ryan. Sokolov; but there is another person who does not match the description of the empire's first astrologer "Hephace" described in the plot. She looks just a delicate young woman.The moment the woman saw Ji Wenyuan, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed: "Oh my God! You must be Your Excellency Sakya! I am an astrologer, and I have been your admirer since I was a child. You can call me Ai Elsa or Salsa."

Ji Wenyuan looked at her with a smile, his dark golden eyes looked very gentle: "Well, yes, Miss Elsa."

Elsa covered her mouth with a shy blush on her face.

The smile on Ji Wenyuan's face deepened, but no one could see the coldness in his eyes.

This woman who inexplicably replaced Hephaes was not simple, he could see that—under the perfect disguise of shy worship, she concealed extremely deep ambitions.

She was very happy to see him, but not because of the kind of idol she saw, but another kind, like the excitement of seeing her prey enter the game.

"Oh, it's really interesting."
