The Master’s Friendship Rules

Page 257

The story eventually returns to the dungeon adventure.

The overall structure is a bit like playing Wrath of the Righteous. Halfway through the adventure, you have to play the Crusader mode, and then you are directly thrown into the Midnight Islands and start a pure adventure.

Then in the next volume, the adventure story of the Savior Team in the Underdark will continue, and they will face classic monsters such as the Kou-Toa murloc right at the beginning.

I originally wanted to take a day off at the end of the usual volume, but I’ve been too slack this month, so today – September 9nd at 22:20 p.m., we’ll meet for the next volume.

Chapter 282 Jellyfish

After Wang woke up from his sleep, he couldn’t help but frown.

He woke up according to his body’s biological clock, but when he opened his eyes, he was faced with such a dark situation, and instinctively felt uncomfortable. After a short pause, his brain, which started to work a step late, began to recall the current situation.

Just at this moment, Nini, who was standing guard away from the bonfire, said, “Good morning, teacher.”

Wang rubbed his eyes: “So it is indeed morning?”

“Yes, it should be around seven in the morning now. You got up on time.”

Wang: “Now that I’m just underground, my biological clock is still accurate.”

“Biological clock?” Nini tilted her head slightly.

Wang yawned as he answered, “After a long period of regular life, the human body will go to bed, wake up, and get hungry just like a clock. However, if there is no external reference for a long time, the biological clock will quickly go haywire.”

Nini: “I see. That’s a very vivid way of saying it.”

After Wang yawned and stretched, he took out the dragon head staff, and the strong light suddenly made the surroundings feel like a sunrise.

He threw the staff aside so that it floated around him. Using the light from the staff, Wang began flipping through the spellbook, preparing his spell for today.

“Today’s main enemy is the Kou Tao murloc. We should prepare more lightning spells against this damp guy.” Wang muttered as he flipped through the book.

Nini: “High Roar is also effective against Kuo-Toa fishmen. I learned this in the elves’ school.”

King: “Is this a school in the Forest Kingdom that teaches magic?”

Nini: “They teach everything. This is a school set up to train young elves into qualified adult elves. There are two classes every day.”

Wang raised his eyebrows: “Two classes is so short? One class in the morning and one in the afternoon, winning by the length of time?”

“No, there is a reading salon, art appreciation, and dance in the afternoon, so all classes will be completed in the morning.”

At this time, Flint also got up and said, “Elves are a slow race. After all, they only reach adulthood at the age of 105. A dwarf at the age of 105 is already a seasoned warrior, but an elf is still leisurely practicing archery.”

Nini: “After becoming the teacher’s student, I often think that the slow pace of the elves’ school is probably a mistake. With the teacher, I can learn knowledge as quickly as humans. I am not lacking in ability in this regard. The elves’ education has wasted my learning ability.”

Wang: “You are quite smart, so this speed is normal. Look at Elizabeth, she sits in on every class I give you, and now she still can’t figure out linear algebra.”

Nini: “Does learning magic really require linear algebra and analytic geometry?”

Wang: “Yes, there is also Euclidean geometry later. This knowledge will help you understand the basic principles of magic.”

Nini: “But isn’t magic a spiritual thing? You can also use suggestion to disrupt the other party’s magic concentration, so what’s the point of me learning these materialistic knowledge?”

Wang: “Magic is indeed idealistic. Even someone like Elizabeth who doesn’t understand any magic principles can happily throw fireballs and shoot scorching rays. For other mages, the key to learning magic is to understand the thinking process of the magic creator when creating the magic, and to a certain extent replicate the mental journey of the magic creator.

“Mages who come from the idealistic side basically learn this way step by step. When these magicians become planeswalkers and enter the materialistic world, they are surprised to find that they can still use magic.

“Then they discovered that if they could use materialistic principles to explain magic, they could break away from the mindset of the magic creator. It’s difficult to train a high-level magician from the idealistic side, mainly because the higher the level of magic, the more complicated the mental journey of the magic creator.

“Ideality means that every magic is unique. There are only some series of magic that are exceptions.

“For example, Bigby’s various palms and fists are similar in structure. Once a wizard who has mastered the Bigby series has elevated his understanding of the world to a new level, he will soon master Bigby’s palm or fist at this level.”

The king stopped and looked at Nini. However, the elf did not speak and continued to listen.

Wang had no choice but to continue, “Nini, you were completely unable to learn magic before, probably because you have your own unique feelings and understanding of the world. Idealism is like this. As long as the train of thought is not in line, there is no way to get started.

“But the improved magic schools introduced by the planeswalkers are different. As long as you have enough IQ, anyone can learn it. The prerequisite is that you must first learn the entire complex system.”

Nini suddenly asked: “In that case, you shouldn’t be stuck on the Fourth Ring Road. You were stuck on the Third Ring Road before.”

Wang: “Because what is learned from books is always shallow, I only learned the knowledge on the books, but I didn’t really understand it. In other words, I didn’t connect the knowledge on the books with reality. It didn’t match!

“So I came out to practice.

“I have talked so much nonsense without realizing it. I need to prepare some spells.”

Nini: “I thought you could prepare spells while chatting with me, teacher.”

“How is that possible? Haven’t you ever seen me prepare spells before?”

Nini: “No, I’m not Miss Rosalie.”

Wang often has sex with Rosalie, so when he is preparing spells the next day, Rosalie is often by his side, and her clothes are rather disheveled, which can greatly help Wang to concentrate.

As the king closed his mouth and prepared the spell carefully, Flint knelt on the ground and prayed softly.

I don’t know when Xiaobai got up, and he was also feeling the nature.

Nini put her bow and arrow in her hand and kept watch on the surroundings.

The barbarian also stood up and gripped his axe tightly – all the spellcasters in the team except the warlock were preparing spells, and this was the weakest time for the team.

The only spellcaster who doesn’t have to prepare spells is now fast asleep.

Finally, all the spellcasters finished their morning “morning lessons”.

Xiao Bai shouted, “I want to eat meat! Let me see how much meat is left.”

She opened her dimensional bag and examined it carefully: “Hmm, there is still plenty of jerky. Eat one.”

Just as Xiaobai took out the dried meat, Nini suddenly shouted, “Wait a minute, something is coming our way.”

With that she drew her bow and aimed the arrow at the rapidly approaching flying object.

The king immediately saw the uninvited guest after the elf issued the warning, because the uninvited guest’s actions were too obvious. It left a long pink tail in the air and rushed over happily.

Wang held Nini’s shoulder and said, “Wait a minute! This pink exhaust and the shape, this might be the Furu I mentioned yesterday!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the jellyfish appeared in front of him.

Xiaobai frowned, “When I heard you say that yesterday, I thought they were quite big, and could swallow a Gotrik in one bite.”

Before the king could answer, a telepathic connection reached everyone at once: “I am considered a relatively small individual among the species.”

The jellyfish’s body radiated a pink light that represented joy: “Hello, adventurers!”

Chapter 283 Premonition of the Prophecy School Mage

The king pointed to the flying jellyfish that was still swaying in front of him and said, “Look! This is the only light in the dark area, the only good thing in the land of great evil.”

The jellyfish swung in the air, and the eyes on the top of its two tentacles narrowed into lines. “Ah, it’s not that good. The fungi in the Underdark are still pretty good. They can’t be eaten at all.”

Elizabeth: “What is a mushroom man?”

Wang: “A kind of… a kind of fungus. If you unfortunately die in the territory of the myconids, there is a chance that your body will be parasitized by them, and then stand up and become a new myconid. At first, your appearance will be partially retained, but fern-like branches and leaves and mushrooms will grow on your skin. Gradually, your flesh will be completely absorbed by the plants, and your appearance will become that of a traditional myconid.”

Elizabeth shrank her neck. “How disgusting. Aren’t these creatures actually evil?”

Pink Jellyfish: “No, actually they don’t have any evil intentions. Parasitizing animal corpses is also one of the laws of nature. So you will definitely not find my kind near the mushroom forest!”

Xiaobai: “Ah, I understand. Many animals don’t have any evil intentions when they attack humans. They are just born to hunt other animals.”

“That’s right.” The jellyfish turned around again.

Marika: “Just like when I kill people sometimes, I don’t actually have any evil intentions. It’s just that I’m a drow, so it’s natural for me to adopt very vicious strategies.”

“Huh? Eh?” The jellyfish sprayed orange light, “Why are there drow elves? I don’t feel any malice from them. Are you a drow elf like Cui Sandao?”

Wang explained thoughtfully: “It was surprised, so it sprayed orange.”

Marika: “Don’t say that to me. Unlike the one who has completely changed his ways and has been fighting against his own nature, I am just… just exiled by my own people. And others have two swords, not three.”

The air jellyfish turned green.

Wang continued to explain diligently: “Now it is very curious about Marika, so the jet is green. By the way, Marika, why are you back? Did you find anything?”

Marika: “No, I just noticed this pink jellyfish was attacking you, so I came to check it out.”

King: “You…haven’t you seen Furu? Are drow also residents of the Underdark?”

Marika: “I know this in my lore, but in the Underdark, such a conspicuous glowing object is likely to be a bait placed by a predator.”

The green jellyfish was still studying Marika at this time: “Well, although there are some evils, but overall it is good. After all, it is a drow who can travel with humans. I have learned a lot.”

Xiaobai: “Does this jellyfish like to mutter so much?”

Wang: “It’s not mumbling, it’s talking telepathically, that’s what it does when it’s completely relaxed. We can hear what it’s thinking.”

“Because that’s what Furu is like!” The jellyfish spiraled up into the air, spewing out pink gas.

Wang: “Now it is very cheerful, so it is pink.”

At this time, the dwarf asked, “So, little jellyfish, what is the matter with you coming to us? Furu must have come to us because some evil race is planning something very evil, and someone must stop them. The last time I went on an adventure, a jellyfish that was five or six times bigger gave us an amazing mission.”

“It’s amazing that there is an adventurer that the same kind trusts.” The jellyfish turned even pinker. “That’s true. Furu has been lurking in a gray dwarf ruin ahead to absorb the evil of the Kuo-toa fishmen, but recently a new evil has appeared there!”

King: “A new evil? Aboleth?”

“No, there have always been Aboleths in the lake next to the ruins. The new evil is that the gray dwarves have returned, and they are actually living in peace with the Kuo-toa!”

The jellyfish emitted orange-yellow smoke to express its shock.

Although it was telepathy, Wang always felt that the jellyfish’s tone had increased: “Two evil creatures didn’t fight each other, there must be something strange!”

Wang: “Don’t keep me in suspense. You must have fully understood the evil creatures’ plan. After all, you use their evil thoughts as food. When you eat their evil thoughts, you will also understand their evil plans.”

“No.” The jellyfish turned blue. “The gray dwarves are controlled by someone with powerful psychic abilities, and the Kuo-toa are gradually becoming slaves. I can hardly eat any evil thoughts. I’m so hungry. I was planning to look for the nearby drow elves, and it’s just in time that you guys are here. There must be some terrible evil plan brewing in that ruin!”

Wang: “It turns blue because it is sad.”

Jellyfish: “Don’t explain at a time like this!”

Xiaobai: “Ah, it complained.”

King: “To sum up the situation, the gray dwarves have returned to their old fortress. They are controlled by something with powerful psychic abilities, and the Kuo-Toa have gradually become slaves…”

Marika interrupted, “Mind Flayer.”

King: “Eye Demons… Eye Demons shouldn’t raise so many slaves. After all, they don’t have the need to eat human brains and souls.”

Elizabeth: “If we get close, won’t we also become slaves of that being? We don’t have equipment to counter psychic abilities. Or do you actually have it?”
