Chapter 10 Cleaner
This magic is very strong!
As a modern man, Xiao En, after mastering a new extraordinary power, the first thing he did was to test the strength of this ability.
“No need to chant a spell, just a simple movement to activate.”
“The arm’s radius of movement is about three meters.”
"The flexibility is about the same as that of an ordinary person's arm, and it can complete most ordinary tasks."
Writing and drawing.
Xiao En controlled the secret hand to lift the table in front of him. The weight was about fifty kilograms, which was close to the limit of the secret hand. Even if he had to carry this weight, it would be quite difficult for him to carry it. It would definitely be difficult for him to handle it with one hand.
"This is only a level 1 spell."
Xiao En's figure stood still, a table knife levitated in front of him, and then moved very quickly Stabbing straight into the bookshelf in front of him, the table knife had already been nailed into it in the blink of an eye.
As if he had found a new toy, he came directly to the desk, and then the chair beside him automatically moved up and placed behind him.
“It’s so convenient!” Xiao En couldn’t help but admire.
The quill on the desk levitated out of thin air, and then a piece of white paper was spread out. The quill dipped in a little ink, and then scribbled on it. He said to himself: "Within a radius of three meters, it is equivalent to one more A hand can be used to do many things, even fighting."
"A hand invisible to the naked eye can do too many things."
This spell is for Xiao En. It doesn't consume much, and it can even last for a long time if he wants to, as long as he stays focused.
"Yes. Concentration."
"Ms. Hecate said that concentration is the first element of a spell caster. To cast any spell, you need to maintain concentration."
This is Xiao's current situation. The first self-protection ability that En mastered.
In the knowledge of the original magic flow, Xiao En has mastered a total of three 1st level spells. In fact, this ability is more of a supernatural ability than a spell, because they are similar to Xiao En. There is a big difference in casting spells in cognition.
“The Touch of Immortality can directly paralyze the target’s body the moment it comes into contact with the enemy.”
"But this requires close contact."
"Detecting emotions can sense the target's emotional fluctuations and know the strongest emotion of the other party."
"So for now, Only the hand of secret magic is best for me to protect myself.”
Time passed unconsciously.
When Xiao En came back to his senses, he found that the butcher had been standing outside the door of the room at an unknown time, and he did not know how long he had been watching him.
"You have completed your promotion." The butcher looked a little surprised.
——Surprised.
Xiao En detected the other party's emotion and fed it back directly to his brain, as if he himself was surprised.
With this slight distraction, the quill suspended next to Xiao En fell to the ground, and the invisible hand that was invisible to the naked eye gradually dissipated.
The Butcher shrugged and said: "It seems you need to learn to stay focused and cast spells in combat."
"Let's go."
"It's dinner time."
Today's dinner is quite sumptuous, because there is a secret grilled lamb chop, and the smell of mutton is very obvious, although The butcher was still a vegetarian, but Xiao En couldn't bear it any longer. He moved the butcher slightly to see if there was anything weird.
“You can eat it.”
The butcher lowered his head and concentrated on cutting the bread in front of him with a knife and fork. It was a bit hard, and he said slowly: “Little lamb from the Dolan area.”
“Very delicious.”
“Made by a dedicated chef, with secret barbecue sauce and flavorings.”
“I am a vegetarian because of work and don’t like meat.”< br>
Xiao En picked up the knife and fork, cut off a piece, and put it in his mouth to taste. It was a little juicy, very tender, fragrant, and stimulated his taste buds. He couldn't help but take another big bite.
"Because Ms. Hecate agreed to teach you, your future meals will be arranged according to the standards of a wizard apprentice." The butcher continued to concentrate on eating, without raising his head and said: "The kitchen is in the corridor on the first floor. In the room on the right, you can tell them if you need anything.”
"There are relatively few living people here, and fresh ingredients need to be prepared in advance."
"If you are not used to it, you can make it yourself."
"Yes." The butcher looked at it and put down his knife. Xiao En, who was holding the fork, thought for a while and said: "The cook is a living person. You can eat without worry."
Xiao En was stunned for a moment, and said silently in his heart, I don't eat people.
After dinner, the maid took away the tableware.
The butcher took out his silver wine bottle again, poured himself a glass, looked up at Xiao En, and then drank by himself.
"Since you have advanced to the level of transcendent."
"Then you can change your job here." The butcher took a sip and said, "This way the salary will be higher."
"When I return to the real world in the future, I will be able to have a lot more money."
Xiao En couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, and said softly: "Can I still go back?"
"Of course." The Butcher smiled and said: "You don't think we will imprison you here, do you?"
"But it is difficult for a soul from another world to integrate into ordinary people's society."
< br>"You have no sense of identity here."
"So we will arrange a job for you at the beginning. Don't worry, it is not a dangerous job."
"Wait until you pass Once the inspection period is over, you can basically arrange your life as you wish.”
Is there such a good thing?
Xiao En looked a little suspicious and asked: "You are also a soul from another world."
"Yes." The butcher nodded and said, "But I grew up here. Having lived here for nearly fifty years, I am different from you. I have my own anchor in this world."
"You are actually different from other souls from other worlds."
< br>"I know someone. She was once an angel, from a country called Paradise Mountain. She always wanted to return to her hometown." Xiao En was a little moved when he heard this, and said cautiously: "Can we still go back?"
The butcher shook his head and said: "No. It's difficult."
"This is a distant country, a forgotten universe."
There is no way to go back.
The Butcher stood up and patted Xiao En on the shoulder and said: "You can't stay here for too long, the gray fog will corrode everyone."
"You only have three months to study."
Three months?
Which means that in three months, I will be sent back to the Kingdom of Dorne in my memory?
"Come with me." The butcher stood up and said: "Adapt to your new job in advance. You also need to learn how to fight and how to protect yourself."
"Many people return to reality after , the first job was as an investigator.”
"Although it's not that dangerous, it's hard to avoid fighting. You still have a lot to learn."
Investigator?
Is this the kind of job you imagined?
Xiao En stood up. He had begun to slowly adapt to this place. He should make peace with it now that he has come and survive first.
Outside the monastery.
The butcher led Xiao En through this huge cemetery. There are countless tombstones here, but most of them have no names. As he walked, he said: "Most of the normal creatures in the weird country are extinct."
"High walls can isolate many evil things, but some small things can still emerge."
"Your new job is that of a cleaner."
The butcher pointed forward. Pointing, Xiao En looked down after climbing the high slope, and soon his scalp felt numb because he saw many deformed bugs.
They look a bit like deformed millipedes or millipedes, slightly bloated, about thirty centimeters in length, about the size of a fist, and some are larger. They are gnawing at all nearby plants, like a group of Like bloodthirsty locusts.
Xiao En couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
The butcher put down the heavy box he was carrying, opened it, and replied: "Soul worm."
"It can be considered a good thing. A specialty of the cemetery area. "
"The ones with human faces on their heads are more valuable. The others are fertilizers."
"What kind of weapons do you like to use?" br>
Bang.
In the box opened by the butcher, Xiao En saw a variety of weapons, including knives, guns, clubs, daggers and long swords, as well as some strange and exotic weapons. In the corner of the box, Xiao En also saw A pistol, and his breathing suddenly quickened.
The butcher picked up the revolver. The small pistol was like a toy in his palm. He asked: "Can you use this?"
"McCarter revolver , the standard equipment of the Kingdom Guard."
"But there are not so many bullets here."
The butcher threw the pistol to Xiao En in front of him.
Xiao En reached out to catch the pistol, turned the wheel, and said softly: "No. But I have seen it before."
The butcher nodded and said: "Then Just keep it.”
“But this thing is not very useful against evil objects.”
That’s because you don’t have enough firepower.
Xiao En is very aware of the power of modern thermal weapons, and all fears stem from insufficient firepower.
“Kill them all?” he asked.
The butcher nodded: "These things eat everything. If left alone, they will damage the environment."
"They appear very quickly and need to be cleaned up regularly."
< br>Understood.
Xiao En looked at the box in front of him, picked up a long sword, swung it, and changed it to a long sword. This one was more convenient. He asked cautiously: "Are they difficult to deal with?"
The butcher shook his head and said: "It's not difficult, just don't get bitten."
It's really not difficult to deal with.
These worms were clumsy and were unaware of Xiao En's approach. It was not until he split one of them in half with a knife that the other worms swarmed forward in fright.
“Too many!” Xiao En began to back away.
A soul worm with a human face on its head suddenly pounced from the side. Xiao En's eyes moved. While he swung his knife to kill the worm in front of him, a dark invisible hand extended from his back. out.
The body of the soul worm suddenly froze in mid-air, and then its body sunken and was pinched until it burst out.
“I don’t have any combat experience, but I learn quickly.” The butcher said to the empty crowd.
At this time, Xiao En had already distanced himself from these worms. He found that if he got too close, he might be injured. These worms have very sharp mouthparts and can even chew rocks.
Three meters is a safe distance.
The invisible mysterious hand picked up the long knife, and Xiao En focused on dodging and running.
From an outsider's perspective, Xiao En can only be seen constantly avoiding those bugs, while a long knife suspended in mid-air is constantly killing them.
The butcher stood far away on the hillside and said to the nobody beside him: "It should be no problem to be an ordinary investigator."
Bang!
A soul worm that was obviously a little different pounced on it. It was faster, and a painful old man's face grew out of its ferocious head. Xiao En drew his gun and shot without hesitation. From a distance of two meters, it hit the insect's head directly, smashing the painful human face into pieces.
"This thing is still useful!" Xiao En raised his pistol and couldn't help but sigh.
He thought of a picture from his previous life, that of Harry Potter.
The Invisible Hand has the strength close to that of an adult male. If you give him a few more guns, he will have a lot of firepower alone.
Xiao En undoubtedly prefers hot weapons to cold weapons.
