At the edge of a canyon surrounded by a sea of ​​trees, on the rugged ground, exposed sharp white rocks broke out from the soil one after another. There were many black weeds sparsely surrounded on both sides, and occasionally there were some half-crown trees growing in the distance.

The tall Gandhi flower.

A large area of ​​sharp rocks had been cleared away from the steep mountain wall near the clearing.

Five carriages were gathered in a circle, and a dim yellow bonfire rose in the central open space. As night approached, the flames on the surface of the bonfire were bright enough to cover most of the area, and were not blocked until the carriages.

Several people gathered around the bonfire, using a blackened root to fiddle with the firewood. There were skewered porcupine pork legs inserted into the gaps between the stones. The tender calf meat was roasted until golden, and the meat juice on it was dripping and dripping.

There was a shine of oil, and the sound of sizzling oil filled the air.

"Everyone should take the time to eat something first. We will arrive at Orleans Canyon tomorrow. Once we get there, we will reach the flat ground. We will reach our destination without any danger. This meal can be regarded as a short celebration feast."

Abbott sat on the side and laughed loudly at the knights and companions around him.

"Grant, would you like to eat this relatively tender piece of pork leg first? I gave it to you. If it weren't for your help, I really wouldn't be able to earn these magic stones."

He took the lead in getting ten magic stones from the knights of the Tulip family. They claimed that when the owner wakes up, they will pay for the remaining magic stones and enchanted items. These values ​​​​have already made Abbott forget about the troubles along the way.

As for the members who stabbed the blood, they cleaned and burned all the corpses, and also processed all the breaths. I believe it will be difficult for the other party to search them.

"That's right, Grant, please eat some. This meat is really good." Ulphises gnawed on a piece of leg meat. The rich and fragrant pork made him drip with oil.

"No, I'm not very hungry yet." Grant shook his head and smiled bitterly, turning his head to stare at a carriage engraved with a unicorn mark in the distance. He still had some doubts about stabbing the members in front of him with blood.

Inside the luxurious carriage, the surrounding space was pitch black. Tefel, who was close to the right side of the window, suddenly blinked her long eyelashes. Her silver-gray eyelashes fluttered, revealing her jewel-like eyes. She slowly

Looking around, he could see Taylor sleeping soundly on the blanket next to his fingers with the help of the firelight reflected from outside the carriage.

Her face was pale, and beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead.

"Did Taylor also faint because of mental exhaustion?" Tefel shook his dazed head, frowned and covered both sides of his head with his hands. He rubbed it a few times and felt the pain subside before crawling out.

car.

She knew this situation, so it was better to look outside first. Her last bit of consciousness knew that they were out of danger, but she didn't know anything else.

Tefill opened the curtain, and a light mixed with moonlight and firelight came in, slightly illuminating her face. As for the scenery outside, she could see it more clearly. The sun had already fallen asleep from high in the sky to the west, and the sunset clouds were hidden in the darkness.

In the blue night sky, the crescent moon was obscured by clouds, and the jade-white moonlight projected down was not too bright.

Around the bonfire in the center of the carriage, three figures in robes were sitting, squatting there and grilling some richly fragrant barbecue and pork legs.

Tefail breathed a sigh of relief and silently opened the car curtain. The cold chill that was unique to the outdoors at night came to his face. When he felt this chill, Tefail's stinging pain was relieved a bit.

With a "thump" sound, Tefail's feet dropped to the ground.

The four knights standing in the carriage suddenly turned their heads and said in surprise: "Miss Tefill, it's great that you are okay. We are safe now. During the time when you and Miss Taylor were sleeping, I paid them ten coins."

The magic stone represents a deposit, and I promised to pay the remaining magic stone when the lady wakes up."

"Well, I know about this." Tefel nodded, glanced at the dirty armors on their bodies, and some gray and black wounds, and said calmly: "You guys clean up your wounds first, and then find a place to rest.

Come on, I will help you heal your injuries tomorrow."

"Yes, miss!"

The three knights bent down and put their left hands on their chests to show respect and gratitude.

Tefel took a breath after giving simple instructions, and walked towards the bonfire a little nervously. After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and it was naturally impossible to calm down.

She walked tens of meters closer, and with the help of the bonfire she could see a young mage with long flaxen hair. Next to him were two pale, ordinary-looking mage sitting next to him, who were talking with smiles.

"It's time to give them the deposit they agreed on earlier." Thinking of this, Tefel took out fifty magic stones from his reserve ring and waist bag, counted them carefully, and then walked quickly to them.

"Hello, three mages, I am Tefel of the Tulip family. Thank you for your rescue earlier. If it weren't for you, I think the last direct bloodline of Tulip would have been annihilated."

"Haha." Grant raised his head and glanced at the girl illuminated by the fire. Her delicate face could tell that she was in her twenties or thirties. Her face was as pale as a wax figure. Grant smiled and said, "No trouble.

Anyway, we each have our own advantages, and besides, I still have some questions I want to ask you."

"Really?" Tefel said in confusion.

She found a clean place to sit down, took out the fifty magic stones she had just prepared from her reserve ring, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you for your help, these are fifty magic stones, about two pieces

I will tell you a few enchanted items now, so you can choose them yourself first."

“Buzz~~”

The elemental particles in the air were slightly disordered, and a pile of pitch-black stones appeared out of thin air in front of them, all piled up on the surface of the soil next to the campfire.

"Abbott, according to our previous agreement, you can get forty-two magic stones. I gave you ten yuan before. Here you can still get thirty-two magic stones. You take it slowly first, I'm here

I wanted to ask Ms. Tefill about being attacked by the Blood Stalking Organization."

After Grant spoke to Abbott, he turned around and asked.

"Mr. Grant, why are you so concerned about this matter? Is it because you are afraid of the revenge of the Blood Sword Organization, or you are afraid of getting into a big trouble." Tefill asked back.

"Of course not, I'm just a little confused. By the way, I'll show you my badge first." Grant took out a blue-gray metal badge from a sewing bag in his robe. Under the moonlight, the surface of the badge circled and gathered.

A layer of pale blue moonlight.

"Is this a shadow badge? Are you from the mage colony? It seems that we are in the same group, and we belong to the same shadow school. I think this shadow badge has contributed to your rescue."

"That's right. Can you tell me these things?"

"It's okay if you can." Tefel nodded and slowly began to talk about his family's troubles.

"Among the three grand dukes in charge of the Kingdom of Speer, the Tulip family is the big family in charge of the northwest, and its power is very good on the border. However, a month ago, there was a rebellion by the factions in the six-tower high city of the main capital, and some people began to suffer.

All the attacks by Stinging Blood have been cleansed. And we are the mage who has been hiding in the family. We mainly study magic theory and will not participate in any affairs related to the ordinary human empire.

"Later, a group of knights notified themselves that they were leaving their base, so they immediately retreated. They chased and fought along most of the empire's routes, and the Blood Sword Organization pressed forward step by step. They almost killed us before."

After Grant heard what Tefail told him, he sat on the ground and stared at the bonfire with a thoughtful expression. He felt that there was something strange in the story. It was not that Tefail was lying, but why they wanted to assassinate and find a mage with blood.

, after all, hiring a bloodletting organization is very laborious, and the consequences of using it to chase family descendants are even distressing.

After experiencing so many things, including the fact that the qualifications of the two mages in the four-wheeled vehicle are not particularly good, it is almost impossible to seek revenge. Even if you use the power of the shadow mages, it will still be a troublesome thing. After all, there is a cluster of mages.

The mages within generally do not intervene in conflicts between ordinary empires and humans.

"Detection!" Grant looked at Tefill and recited the skill in his mind.

As rows of blue arcs flashed across his eyes, he had some understanding and understanding. His needle-like eyes fell into Tefill's snow-white chest groove. There was a necklace going deep into the snow-white soft chest flesh. He

Knowing that the necklace inside must have a big secret, I felt a little eager in my heart.

Grant speculated that these pursuits might actually be related to the necklace, but the specific possibility could only be determined with thorough investigation.

"Miss Tefill, the necklace on your chest is also an enchanted item. I wonder if it can be counted as one of the two enchanted items you promised? I'm quite interested." Grant said with a calm smile. He was interested.

His eyes fell on Tefail's chest.

Tefel's face turned red, and she shook her head and refused: "I'm sorry, this enchanted item including earrings, and the ring in my hand are some commemorative items left by the clan leader, and they cannot be given to anyone casually. Therefore, I can only make this request.

I'm sorry that I can't do anything. I will get you a batch of very good items."

"Really?" Grant shook his head sadly.

But Grant still persisted and asked: "Can you show it to me? I always feel that this necklace looks familiar. I just want to take a look now."

"This?" Tefel hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, since it is Master Grant's request, I will observe it for you."

The crystal aqua blue necklace has a refreshing and beautiful shape. On the front of a spar that looks like an angel, there are strange runes carved on it. It is surrounded by a layer of silver-white mithril inlay, and a golden string connects them.

String them together and place them between your neck.

Under the moonlight, it exudes the same strange light and charm as the shadow badge.

"Thank you." Grant smiled and took the necklace. Because it had been on his chest for a long time, there was still a hint of milky fragrance and warmth on the necklace. The runes were twisting uneasily as if they were alive.

"Analyze!" Grant activated his analysis skills in his mind, and at the same time his pupils built a model of the necklace. The crystals on the necklace expanded rapidly, and the glass shield on the surface was also cleared away, revealing his own appearance. It was exactly a model engraved with

A heritage item with a family imprint.

"This is a necklace made of green wood spar, and it also has a sealing spell inside. It seems that the Tulip family itself was also the descendant of a magician in the past. After all, green wood spar is very rare and is an expensive spar material.

, you can’t just make a necklace casually.”

Grant still remembers this kind of crystal material. He once used these materials to strengthen a very cool magic item, and engraved more than a hundred spells on it. They were basically instant spells. Among the necromancers,

It's pretty awesome.

While he was thinking, a sound came from the chip in his mind.

"Does it absorb the energy existing in the crystal itself? It contains a large amount of pure energy?"

Grant was slightly stunned, and with a smile on his face, he immediately agreed in his heart. He knew that there was no reason to refute at this time. A large amount of energy instantly poured into his body and turned into threads that traveled around his body. In the invisible energy pool in his body, the energy of the liquid became more and more powerful.

It gets higher and higher, directly approaching level ten.

"Stop, stop quickly!"

Grant was busy calling when he felt that he was one step closer to becoming a first-level mage. He knew that an elemental halo would appear under his feet after becoming a first-level mage. If Tefail discovered his change, even if he did not know the origin of the necklace, he would definitely know it.

You have to guess that you stole the energy in the necklace.

This kind of thing can easily destroy the previous relationship between him and them. The possibility of going to the mage colony to rely on the certain power of their mage has to be reduced to zero.

"How's it going? Master Grant, I see you've been holding it in your hand for half an hour."

Telfair asked curiously and eagerly. She really didn't expect that it took half an hour for Grant to hold his hand. Abbott and Euryphes next to her were also very strange, but they didn't say much, they were all there.

Biting into the juicy pork leg, after all, they all understood some of Grant's basic habits.

"It's okay. I just observed it carefully, but unfortunately I still don't know the origin of this item." Grant casually explained and handed the necklace to her.

Grant was a little grateful that the concealment technique he had blessed had prevented them from noticing that his spirit had become stronger.

"Next, you can trade enchanted items. It's getting late tonight. Let's have a little rest. Although the mage doesn't need to sleep for too long, today's battle is too tiring. I think more rest will be helpful for tomorrow's journey.

There is still a need in Orleans Valley.”

Abbott explained on the side that he understood that if it were delayed like this, he would not know when the value of this transaction would be completed, especially since he had one more enchanted item that he had not yet obtained.

Tefill nodded, and with a little distress, he took out four enchanted items from the reserve ring, introduced them, and explained how excellent they were.

"These four items from left to right are the light ring, poisonous gloves, dodge leather boots and mist ice ring."
