The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 8 Fire Starts



The intelligence here refers to the literal meaning, which refers to the ability of people to know and understand objective things and use knowledge and experience to solve problems, including memory, observation, imagination, thinking, judgment, etc. It refers to the ability to know and understand objective things and use knowledge and experience Ability to solve problems.

Sean is not particularly clear about other situations, but he is deeply touched about memory. Although he can't do it now, he is not far behind. He only needs three times of shorthand, and he can easily Recite whatever he wants to memorize.

If one had this kind of abnormal memory ability in the previous life, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Harvard and Cambridge could all be captured by hand.

Especially when the intelligence reached 2, something incredible happened to Sean.

Many things that have been forgotten by him are gradually being recalled, including those from his previous life. This kind of recollection does not refer to a certain thing in general, but the details of all aspects of things. What I didn't notice was restored in my brain.

Including a lot of knowledge that can only be glanced at at a glance. When I first learned it, the advanced mathematics and physics problems that were in the fog are not difficult at all in retrospect, and everything is taken for granted.

Sean's brain tends to be transformed into a supercomputer. Those memories are his internal storage data. The magic power is far from as simple as imagined. It affects not only the body, but also the brain.

Compared with intelligence, will is a more vague and abstract concept. Its most obvious manifestation is willpower. Usually Xiao En regards it as the ability of self-control, especially the one created by the brand of fire. In terms of planning, this is particularly evident.

If Sean has lazy thoughts, the will data is usually not too high. It can also be said that when the will data is not high, Sean is prone to lazy thoughts. The relationship between the two is not a causal relationship, but a symbiotic relationship.

The meaning of perception is very broad, not limited to the eyes, body touch and smell are part of perception, including the magical sixth sense, the improvement of perception can be clearly felt by the body, such as eyes seeing farther, nose The sense of smell is more developed and the senses around the body are more sensitive.

Sometimes, Sean can vaguely feel the shape, color, and movement state of an object behind him. I believe that if the perception is raised to a certain level, people will lose their blind spots.

Sean really likes the feeling of being able to control his physical state in real time, which can give him a deep sense of security.

Don, Tang, Tang, it's not good, it's not good, there's a lot of smoke coming out from the direction of the village. A middle-aged man who went out to release water hurriedly ran back with a panicked expression on his face.

What? Not only Sean and Marshall, but other children rushed out. Although most of the time, they didn't like to stay in the village, it didn't mean they didn't have feelings for the village.

It's the village, that's right, but it's not the beacon smoke that Phil and the others set off, it's more like the village is on fire. Marshall said affirmatively.

Well, I see, you guys tidy up here, I'll go and have a look first. Sean returned to the hunter's cabin without saying a word, and came out fully armed.

Don't worry, we'll be there soon. Marshall patted Sean on the shoulder hard, Don't be impulsive, think about them before doing anything.

Having been together for more than ten years, they have already figured out each other's tempers. No matter what happens to Xiao En, he always looks calm and indifferent.

In fact, under the icy exterior, emotions like magma are hidden. Most importantly, according to Ms. Elena's past habits, these few days are the days when she is most likely to return to the village.

This can be seen from the location chosen by the hunter hut. When they chose the hunter hut, they chose three points. Compared with this point, the other two points have better geographical advantages and development space.

But Xiao En decided to choose this place without even thinking about it. Although he never explained it, everyone who knows him knows it, because here you can directly overlook the direction of the village, and if something happens, you can know it immediately.

I know. When Marshall got the answer, the Sean man was already more than ten meters away.

Button, please, take care of him, go.

Woof! Barton, the head dog, barked a few times as a response, and followed Xiao En with the pack of hounds.

Arnold, Aiwen, you two, get ready, take the mountain eagle, and follow me to meet Sean. The others stay and look after the house. Even if you find intruders, ignore them and evacuate to the shelter as soon as possible. , you didn’t hear our signal, don’t come back.” Marshall pinched the oldest boy and said, “Julian, take good care of your brothers and sisters, even if we don’t come back, take them to live a good life .”

Brother Marshall...

Brother Marshall, let's go together, we are together in life and death, and we will never be separated.

Hearing the last sentence, those middle-aged and middle-aged people couldn't hold back their tears for a long time.

What nonsense are you talking about! Marshall slapped the half-child who cried the most fiercely, No matter what happens, we must live well. Tang and I are both cat demons in the stories Tang often tells. , you all have nine lives, you won’t die so easily, I don’t want to wait for me to come back, but you’ve all become the feces of beasts.”

Oh, I didn't have time to say goodbye to Tang just now. If they don't come back, wouldn't it be...

Don't say such frustrating words. Tang is so smart and powerful, but a giant bear hunter who can hunt giant bears alone will be fine. Our task now is to protect our home. There are many Tangs here. Baby, if it's broken, he'll be heartbroken to death.

Almost forgot, we should activate the defensive trap first. This is what Tang repeatedly emphasized before. If he comes back and finds that the trap has not been activated, he will definitely be unhappy.

That's right, we can't let Tang down.

During Tang's absence, we should also eat well, study hard, train hard, and strive to help Tang as soon as possible.

A group of young teenagers encouraged each other and got busy. They wanted to use this way to forget the biggest fear in their hearts-the possibility that Sean Tang and Marshall would never come back.

...

Sean's speed was so fast that he could hear the mountain wind whistling in his ears.

In the past, he liked the feeling of running on the mountain road very much. He could clearly feel the pulse of the heart in his body, and even the sound of blood flowing in the blood vessels. The exuberant vitality was so wonderful, when he ran to At the extreme, the mind seems to be empty.

But today is different. Sean has never felt that this road is so long. He has been running for a long time, but he has not run very far. Is it because he has been doing strength training recently that his speed has regressed?

Sean is very clear-headed, knowing that this is just his own illusion. Not only has his speed not regressed, but he has even improved slightly. The real-time monitoring of the brand of fire will not deceive him.

He is very clear that his current state is very wrong, and his behavior pattern has been influenced by the excessive secretion of hormones in his body.

Normally, he would have thought of a way to calm himself down, but today he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to act according to his instinct. Maybe he knew what he would face when he calmed down—the powerlessness and fear of death.

He is also very clear that even if he rushes to the village now, it will not help, because the defense of his village is not weak. There are seven eagle shooters alone, let alone the young and strong Andis hunter. , there are as many as thirty people.

Usually, even if they go out to hunt, they are guarded in rotation. There will always be one-third of the young and strong people in the village stationed there. What's more, the folk customs of the mountain people living in poor mountains and rough waters have always been tough, and even women and children have certain fighting power.

Who will attack the village? Who has the ability to attack the village?

As for the beasts, Sean didn't think about them at all. There are indeed many fierce predators in the Andes Mountains, but in the diet of these predators, the Andes mountain people are probably at the bottom.

Even if there are attacks, most of them are in the lonely hunter's hut, and it is the midwinter season when food is scarce. Now it is autumn when food is the most abundant. Even the most reckless Andis giant bear, if you don't provoke it, he will I don't even bother to pay attention to you.

Could it be other Andes mountain villages?

This possibility was quickly ruled out by Xiao En. There were indeed some conflicts between the surrounding villages and his own village due to issues such as hunting grounds, water sources, and woodlands. However, these were trivial matters, and many of them followed the old rules of the village. Solved, far from the point of armed conflict.

The most important thing is that the villages with a radius of tens of miles all know the existence of myself and my mother, and they have more or less visited them for medical treatment, with a sense of medical care. In the eyes of these mountain people, warlocks and witch doctors are Those who draw an equal sign can communicate with the existence of ghosts and gods, only for the sake of awe, and absolutely not for the sake of provoking.

Then there is only one possibility left - the people outside the mountain.

But there is only one kind of people who dare to risk being attacked by wild beasts and mountain people, and enter the mountain-slave hunters.

This kind of speculation made Xiao En feel cold all over.

Although Sean is a pure-blooded Andes mountain dweller, he actually doesn't have too deep a concept of race in his heart.

Because from birth, his body was filled with a mature soul, and his sense of belonging was naturally much weaker. In addition, he had read many classics of this world in the past ten years, including the history of this world. The Andes mountain people are still from the Byron Federation outside the mountain.

In fact, they were a family three hundred years ago, all of them were from the Andes Empire, except that one was from the noble class and the other from the commoner class. Due to geographical separation, cultural inheritance, lifestyle, skin color and appearance, etc., It gradually became two completely different races.

Without racial prejudice, naturally there is no liking or disliking for Xiao En, the outsider from the mountain, it is just a group of strangers anyway.

But there is a group of people outside the mountain that Xiao En hates deeply, that is, the slave hunters. This group of people is a group of demons in human skin. They are probably well-known scum criminals outside the mountain. There is only one - burning, killing and looting.

They don't let go of all valuable things, and the young and strong Andes mountain people are one of their most important goods.
