Chapter 232 Passing the Law
"My name is Joey." Joey looked at Gothe and said, his breathing a little short.
He spoke Ace language, which is the language of the people in the north, but he knew that Gothe could understand his language.
Because Joey saw that at the bonfire party, Gothe kept communicating with the patriarch in a language he did not understand.
Gothe frowned and did not speak. He just made a gesture of invitation, signaling Joey to come in first.
Because, except for the clan leader Ximo, no one in Duo'erbian tribe has ice blood, so naturally they cannot understand the common language he speaks.
Since you don’t understand, there is no point in speaking.
Joy obviously understands this.
As soon as he entered the tent, there was a bang and he knelt down in front of Gothe.
"Benefactor, I want to become your teacher."
Joey gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
He also knew that this request was very presumptuous and unreasonable, but the scene of Gothe and Snow Wolf fighting during the day really shocked Joey.
He longs to be someone like Gothe, such a powerful person who can stand in front of everyone and protect the tribe when the snow wolves attack.
In the North, the only hope to become a mage is the Iceborn bloodline.
Joy does not have Iceborn blood, so he has no chance to become an Iceborn mage.
But Gothe is not an Iceborn either, but he is very powerful, even more powerful than the patriarch with Iceborn blood.
Joy knew that Gothe had the ability to make himself stronger.
Even if he is not as powerful as Gothe, at least he will not be able to turn pale and tremble when facing the snow wolf.
Thinking of this, Joey raised his head and looked at Gothe, his eyes filled with something called courage.
It was this expectation that made him make such a "presumptuous" visit tonight.
Gothe was silent for a moment after hearing what Joey said.
He pointed outside and made another move to leave.
means "He will leave tomorrow."
Joy obviously understood the meaning of Gothe's gesture.
Dong dong dong!
He suddenly kowtowed to Gothe.
Gothe had a thought and used the hand of the mage to stop Joey from continuing to kowtow.
Joy's eyes were filled with fearlessness and an inexplicable light.
He looked at Gothe and said firmly: "Please take me with you. You can treat me as a servant. I can do anything you want.
Even if you let me be a bait, you can abandon me at any time when you encounter danger. I just ask you to take me with you and teach me something when you are free. That's it."
Looking at the blood on Joey's forehead from kowtowing just now, and listening to Joey's words, Gothe was slightly moved by his determination.
Seeing that Gothe didn't nod, Joey had tears in his eyes and said nothing more, just looking at Gothe silently.
Gaode looked at the boy's eyes, and for some reason, his heart suddenly softened.
He looked outside the tent, sighed, and shouted: "Chief Shimo, don't watch the show anymore, come in."
Joey, who was kneeling in front of Gothe, was stunned. He couldn't understand Gothe's words, but he looked back following Gothe's gaze and saw that the tent was lifted and Chief Shimo came in from the outside.
"Clan leader, I." When he saw the clan leader, Joey suddenly became panicked. He was afraid that the clan leader would blame him for his presumptuous behavior and disturbed the distinguished guests of the tribe.
"Sorry, Joey disturbed your rest." He first apologized to Gothe.
After Gothe shook his head slightly to indicate that it was okay, Ximo sighed again and blamed himself:
"It's me who is useless and incapable of protecting the tribe. If it weren't for my incompetence, your parents wouldn't have done it either"
"Chief, that's not the case." Joey kept shaking his head, but didn't know what to say.
The people at the bottom of this world are very miserable, and the people at the bottom in the north are even more miserable.
Gaode had been watching from the side, and after thinking for a while, he said to the leader of the Shimo clan: "For me, you can translate for me."
Chief Shimo raised his head and looked at Gothe, his eyes became complicated, and finally he gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty: "Okay."
"It is a man's responsibility to become stronger and protect his people. Since you have this responsibility, I will give you a chance now." Gothe said slowly.
Hence, he carefully reviewed the apprentice guidance method and apprentice meditation technique in his mind, and slowly recited the key points.
Most of the people in the north are illiterate, not to mention that Gothe doesn't understand Ace.
So Gothe recited the Apprentice Guidance Technique and the Apprentice Meditation Technique back and forth five or six times.
He read a sentence, and the Shimo chief "translated" it for Joey in Ace language.
"Do you remember it?" Gothe asked after reading the two practice methods again.
Joy nodded vigorously.
The two practice methods are not too complicated, but if you really want to memorize them, it is actually not that easy.
It can only be said that when a person desires something to a certain extent, he can show extraordinary abilities.
"Just remember," Gothe nodded slightly, and then said: "Although this is only the most basic practice method, it can at least guide you on the path of a mage. As for spells."
Gothe thought for a while, read the spell formula of [Freezing Ray] to the two of them, and then used magic tricks to materialize the spell model of [Freezing Ray] in the form of an image.
In the North, ice element spells are the most common and the least out of the ordinary.
In addition, the spell formula of [Freezing Ray] was not purchased from the official Mage Association, but was traded privately, so there is no ban on spreading it.
Of course, in this place, even if the spell formula is passed on, no one will pursue it.
Chief Shimo and Joey both looked as if they had found a treasure, and they firmly engraved what Gothe said tonight in their minds.
"You can also pass this practice method and magic to other people in the tribe, but don't make it too public." Gao De said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the face of the leader of the Shimo clan suddenly burst into intense light.
"This is really too precious." He didn't know what to say.
Although these are only the most basic and widely spread apprenticeship practices, their value is not low.
You must know that even in Xi'en, where civilization is far more advanced than in the north, it is very difficult to learn spells and practice methods, let alone a small village in the north with a population of only one or two hundred.
A little bit of knowledge that is nothing to you can change the fate of many people in Duoerbian. Just do one good deed that day.
Gaode said to himself in his heart.
After Joey left God's house, the eight or nine-year-old boy was still in a daze.
He was overwhelmed with great happiness, feeling as if he was still dreaming before he woke up, and his whole body was light and airy.
"Cherish it and work hard." The leader of the Shimo clan who walked out with him looked at Joey who was still in a daze, patted his shoulder and said seriously.
"I will." The boy's vision was firmer than ever.
"Mage."
After the two left, Flora suddenly shouted in the tent.
"What's the matter, Lady Flora?"
"Can Lady Flora learn spells?"
"Yes, it should be possible, right?" Gothe was not sure either.
It is okay to be reasonable, but not necessarily reasonable.
After all, he didn’t know what Lady Flora was.
“Lady Flora, you want to learn magic?” he asked again.
Okay."
"What spells does Flora want to learn?"
"Learn them all."
"You have to eat one bite at a time, and the spells have to be done one by one, there must be a sequence." Gao De explained patiently.
"Like this."
"What's the magic?"
「我教你个法师之手，如何？学了之后，芙萝拉大人可以多出一只手，很多事就可以不用亲自动手做了。」
「这个好！这个好！」
"Then learn this?"
"Will you be as good as a mage after learning it?"
"No!"
Don't learn! Don't learn! "
"How about I teach you the spark technique? After learning it, Lady Flora will be able to light a fire in the ice and snow as easily as I can."
"This It seems pretty good."
"Then learn this?"
"Will you be as good as a mage after learning it?"
"No! No!"
“Then don’t learn it! Don’t learn it!”
“How about making friends? After you learn it, if you encounter a scary creature again, Flora can make it temporarily give way to you.”
“So powerful?”
“After giving way, Lady Flora must run away quickly, because In order to wait for it to come back to its senses, it will be angry."
"If you don't want to go far, don't learn, don't learn!"
Gothe thought for a while, and then said: "How about I teach you magic explosion? After you learn it, Lady Flora will be able to fight wolves like me."
"Okay! Wow!"
Lady Flora’s eyes widened, full of confusion.
"I have learned 44 tricks and 5 one-level spells to be able to do this. It is naturally impossible for Madam Flora to learn just one spell like me."
"So many?!" Flora was startled.
"Yes."
"Ms. Flora has just started to learn spells now, and the mage is also learning. If I learn one and the mage learns one, won't there always be that much difference." Flora was a little frustrated.
"There are specializations in the arts."
"I don't understand."
"I have what I am good at, and Flora-sama also has her own strengths. For example, Flora's ability to identify and cultivate flowers, plants and trees, I will never be able to match in this life."
"Ms. Flora is not as good as me in magic, but in this aspect, I am not as good as you. Everyone has their own strengths, so there is no need to focus on a certain aspect to compare." Flora tilted her head and thought for a while, feeling that her mage's words were really reasonable, so she stopped being frustrated and smiled happily.
"Have you thought about what to learn first, Ms. Flora?"
"Then learn the first spell you mentioned."
"What is the first spell I mentioned?" Gothe said expressionlessly, having already seen through a certain villain.
"Forgot." Flora said confidently.
You hozen, of course you only kept these words in your heart, but you said with your mouth: "Then let's do the first spell."
Fortunately, although Flora is "too ambitious", at least she is not like a certain monkey who only asks "Can I get immortality?" with all kinds of spells.
Of course, it may also be because immortality is not a rare thing for Flora.
Who knows?
Gothe quietly left the edge of Duoer just before the sky turned white and the sun officially rose.
He didn't say hello to anyone.
After confirming the direction through [North Pointing Technique], Gothe cast [Skating Technique] on himself and started running quickly in the snow.
But the overall speed is not very fast.
After the sun completely jumped out of the horizon, Godedu could still see the small camp on the edge of Duo'er in the distance.
"I'm short of a mount. No matter how bad it is, I still need to master [Stride]." Gothe said silently in his heart.
【Stride】is a level 1 spell of the transformation system, which can greatly increase the subject's movement speed. It is also a must-have spell for traveling at home.
It's just that in a place like the North, there is no official mage association that sells spell formulas.
Even because most of the mages on this land are ice-born mages, even spell formulas are rare - the spell abilities of ice-born mages are innate, not learned.
Hence, after entering the Northern Territory, it has become difficult to learn common spells that are common outside the Northern Territory.
Of course, most things have two sides.
In the North, you can also see many unique ice element spells that are not seen outside the North.
Gothe’s destination for this trip is the Snover clan.
This is the medium-sized tribe closest to Duoerbian. It is also a tribe that is good at domesticating reindeer. With a population of tens of thousands, it is far beyond what Duoerbian can compare with.
In order to ensure sufficient food for the reindeer, the Snover clan will conduct a large migration every once in a while to find new pastures.
At the same time, in order to ensure a smooth migration process and find a suitable "pasture", the Snover clan's demand for maps is much greater than that of other tribes.
So according to common sense, the northern map owned by the Snover clan will be relatively complete.
It is said to be the closest, but in fact the Snover clan is a full two hundred kilometers away from the edge of Duo'er.
Humber tribes in the north are often separated by extremely long distances.
This is determined by their way of survival, and it is also in line with the overall situation in the North that it is vast and sparsely populated.
Under ideal circumstances, that is, if the snow depth is moderate, road conditions are good, the weather is warm and windless, and the walker is physically fit and well-supplied, the distance a healthy adult can walk in the snow in one day is 20 to 30 kilometers.
The northern border does not meet this ideal situation.
Whether it is the road conditions, the weather, or the level of danger, they are all far from ideal.
Gaode uses [Skating Skill] to drive, just like skating on the snow. He will not get stuck in the snow step by step. He can ignore the extra physical exertion caused by the difficult terrain of the snow. At the same time, his speed is also slightly accelerated. He can walk up to 30 kilometers a day.
However, mana is always limited, and [Skating] is a first-level spell, which consumes a lot of money.
If you consume too much mana, you will be easily caught off guard when in danger.
With this in mind, Gothe only spends two-thirds of the day practicing the [Skating Skill] on himself, and the rest of the journey is purely on foot.
Facts have proved that his judgment was correct.
Although he is low-key, he will not take the initiative to cause trouble, and he does not have the so-called hatred-attracting physique.
But in a place like the North, where wild beasts and earth-line creatures are everywhere, a walking living person is an attractive "prey".
Above the snowy plains, not only the people in the north are short of food, but also the beasts.
Hum~~~
A ferocious roar came from not far away.
The roar was so powerful that the accumulated snow hills began to shake off snowflakes.
