Chapter 46: The Demon Master Xiao Ka
A few withered grasses are rolling in the wind, neither knowing where they came from nor where they will be blown to.
Liuyun supported Shuiling'er and stood quietly in front of Fan Shiliu's tomb.
The water spirit sobbed softly, with tears falling to the ground in rows. Tears of sorrow, perhaps the best mourning for the living towards the dead.
A torrent of emotions surged in his heart. He never expected that the person who had saved Shuǐ Líng was actually the enemy he had once tried to humiliate with all his might, now lying in a grave.
"Thank you, good fellow!" exclaimed Liú Yún with a sigh.
The changes in fate can be really dramatic sometimes.
All people are like withered grass in the wind; who can predict their own fate?
Why should people be sad and sigh for the fate of withered grass? If withered grass were conscious, it would not complain.
Because it has had its own glorious years and has been praised and cherished by people.
If a person can get what he has been longing for all his life, even if it is only for a moment, it will be like eternity; even if he dies, he will have no regrets.
That's exactly what happened to Fan Shiliu.
At the last moment, his life radiated dazzling brilliance and won all respect and admiration.
"Shui Gu Niang, let's go back. Let him rest quietly." Liu Yun said softly.
The water spirit who had survived through hardships was like a lotus flower after the rain, causing his heart to ache with wave after wave of pain.
"This time, if it weren't for him, we might never see each other again."
Shuiling suddenly lifted her head and gathered courage to say.
"Hmm. So, we must live well, this is the best way to remember him." Liu Yun said.
"Then you, don't call me Shuiguniang, call me Ling'er instead?"
Her pale face flushed with a hint of shyness, she said in a low voice. This encounter with the god of death had somehow made her bolder.
"Alright, Ling'er. Let's go back."
Liu Yun couldn't help but pull the girl beside him closer, savoring the warmth emanating from her soft body.
Shuiling lowered her head and pressed her face against Liuyun's chest.
"Uncle, come over and take a look."
Liuyun walked into Lao Ka's room with a blueprint in his hand.
A line of elves in the forest, Old Card benefited from the shallow waters of the Moonlight Spring, washing away all his troubles. The door to the Six-System Magic Guide was finally opened for him. So, after returning, the old man locked himself in his room, closed off and studied magic.
"What kind of weird thing have you come up with again?" Old Ka took over the blueprint from Liuyun and examined it seriously.
"This seems to be a set of armor. I don't quite understand it, you tell me about it." Old Ka looked at it for a long time and shook his head.
"This is a set of single-soldier combat armor with certain magical defensive capabilities." Liú Yún spread out the drawings on the table and began to explain seriously.
"The main body of the battle armor is made from demonic beast skin, which has a certain degree of flexibility and impact resistance. After being soaked in the medicinal liquid from the formula, it should be able to withstand wind and fire system magic attacks below high level. Inside the battle armor, there are some metal wires that can transfer lightning system magic elements to the ground. Additionally, with the cold-resistant layer inside the battle armor, the power of water system magic will also be weakened. As for earth system magic, it mainly relies on the wearer's own evasion abilities. In this way, this set of battle armor has relatively strong magical defense capabilities."
Lao Ka listened and sighed, "Magic protective single soldier armor? Sounds great, but can it really be achieved?"
"Heh heh, if you don't try, how will you know?" After saying that, Liuyun plopped herself down into the chair.
"It's not the elderly household that I'm attacking, don't think it's too easy. How do you ensure those metal wires can transfer the thunder system magic elements to the ground, and what about that insulation layer?"
"Lightning-proof protection, I'm confident. Cold-proof? I've heard down jackets are quite effective." Liú Yún replied casually, still not believing that metals on this continent wouldn't conduct electricity.
"Snow tires? Oh my god, as long as you can afford it, I'll definitely support your great idea."
A few days later, when Lelouch delivered a large quantity of raw materials, including the snow that was needed for two hundred sets of battle armor, Old Ka was speechless.
Just hearing that Snowball spent 5,000 gold coins, and looking at the increasingly bright Water Spirit, Old Card couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Soon, Flowing Cloud brought people back to the Elf Forest, handing over materials and design drawings to the Elves, who contacted the Dwarves for casting.
After the departure of Liu Yun, Lao Ka and Nalundo launched the final stage of training for the students. Lao Ka conducted joint magic training, while Nalundo taught special warfare theory and battlefield command art.
After these days, Nalundo had a kind of crazy worship for Liu Yun. Although the people in the imperial capital regarded Nalundo as an alien, he always felt that he was a genius. However, Liu Yun's special warfare theory made him feel that his own set was just child's play. More importantly, Liu Yun not only had a complete set of theories, but also could personally create an elite army to achieve all this.
"Is a magic master really that powerful? I'll kill him with a bunch of low-level magic. Is a martial arts master really that strong? I'll have him killed by a group of ordinary people."
When Flowing Cloud said this to him, Nalan felt that his so-called novel ideas were far outdated compared to this strange person.
On the training ground, Old Card was directing the members of the Thunder System team to practice magic together. According to Flow Cloud's request, Old Card had set out a few hand gestures.
When the fist is raised, it's a full-force strike, and all team members attack the same target.
Raise your palm, then press six classes, and let the class leader be responsible for determining the target and attacking on their own.
When vertical middle finger, then full force against the same target for a second attack.
The suggestion of giving the middle finger was put forward by Liu Yun. He explained, "The meaning of this gesture is: I despise you, you freak! Even dozens of thunderbolts can't kill you! Come on and try again!"
Lao Ka had once tried it, and after activating his shield, he could only withstand the full force of fifteen people's attack. The enormous power of this concentrated and precise strike on a single point made Lao Ka let out a sigh of despair.
"It seems that even a mage may not be able to withstand such an attack."
This powerful group magic has only one drawback, that is, the coordination of team members can never be perfectly coordinated. Every time they practice together, someone will always hit the wrong spot, and both Liuyun and Lao Ka can't think of a solution, they just hope that practice makes perfect.
When the team members practiced together again, Xiaoka ran into the training field and found Lao Ka to grind "Moonlight Spring Water".
Seeing several flashes of lightning deviating from their direction in the sky, Xiaoka waved her arm in the air, and several flashes of lightning converged with the main force in a strange way.
"This can't be real..." Old Ka rubbed his eyes hard, completely disbelieving everything that was happening in front of him. "He actually has magical control abilities!"
People with magical control abilities are legendary existences on the continent, known as magic controllers. These people do not possess too strong magical attack capabilities, what they can do is to manipulate magic!
Legend has it that the strongest demon controller in history once reflected a forbidden spell of sacred magic back onto the caster. In the past few hundred years, only three demon controllers have appeared on the continent. Although these three could control at most high-level magic, they were still renowned throughout the land and were the nightmare of any magician.
Lao Ka suppressed his inner excitement and strode towards Xiao Ka.
"Xiao Ka, how did you come up with that move just now?"
"Hey, your curiosity is acting up again, old man?" Little Ka teased.
After returning from the old card from the Elf Forest, he rarely asked Xiao Ka about the "Firebird" question. The oil-free Xiao Ka always felt very uncomfortable. The most unbearable thing is that the "Moonlight Spring Water" brought back by the head from the Elf Forest can supplement magic power, except for two bottles allocated to Arre, the others seem to have been hidden by the old card. When Xiao Ka asked him for it, Lao Ka always found excuses to refuse him.
"Everyone get ready, let's do it again!"
"Hurry up, show us another one."
Lao Ka instructed the students to get ready and then smiled at Xiao Ka.
"This probably won't work, my magic is insufficient. It would be great if I could replenish it." Little Card said with a sly smile.
"Come on, have a drink." Old Ka said, pulling out a bottle of "bath water" from his bosom and handing it to him.
"Is this bottle all mine?" Little Ka asked weakly.
"It's all yours!" Old Card said without hesitation, while secretly thinking: "If you knew this was the bath water from my old home, you might throw up for several days!"
