Surdak asked nervously, staring at the portrait of the girl on the magic notebook.
The parchment was a little dark and yellow, and the portrait of the girl showed no reaction. She had her hands folded in front of her chest in a praying posture, and her eyes were pious.
"what's your name?"
Seeing that the girl didn't respond, Suldak asked nervously and tentatively in a low voice.
The girl's portrait was still printed quietly on the parchment, and there was still no reaction.
Suldak felt that he might have just had a hallucination, or it might have been caused by being too nervous. He took out another portrait he found from the thief, and put the two portraits together to distinguish them carefully.
Cyrus.\nThere are indeed some differences between the portrait of the girl in Hickok's magic notebook and the portrait obtained from the robber. The portrait in the magic notebook appears more vivid. If you look at it carefully with your eyes, you will find that the girl
The portrait seemed to come alive. In a daze, you might even feel that the girl's portrait would smile slightly, or even blink, and the endless darkness hidden in the girl's portrait's eyes would disappear.
As for the portrait in the hands of the thief, it was obviously a rubbing with ink. Although it looked like Selena at first glance, Suldak felt that it was due to his own subjective consciousness, and the portrait could only be...
I can see some similarities in the outline of the face and between the eyebrows, but they are far less vivid than the last page of the magic notebook.
Surdak put the two portraits away again, but did not see that the moment he closed the magic notebook, the portrait of the girl on the page quietly made a face...
Surdak, who was unaware of this, untied the hemostatic bandage on his leg. The buffing effect of the 'Blessed Body' was invalidated. The blood hole in his calf began to hurt, and the flesh and blood at the hole continued to squirm, as if
There was an invisible force tearing at the wound, and the wound that was close to healing once again became bloody and bloody. Although there was a faint power of holy light around the wound, it could not prevent the injury from worsening.
Surdak frowned. The power of holy light had no effect on the black magic curse, but it had little effect.
There are only the last two sand wolf heads left in the magic waist bag. If you want to continue to obtain the 'Divine Blessed Body' buff, you must continue to sacrifice these low-level sacrifices. The remaining two sand wolf heads can last longer at most.
4 days, but recently many nodes in the body have been lit up one after another. In just a few days, almost a hundred nodes in the chest have been lit up and radiated.
Every time he sleeps, these lit nodes are integrated with Surdak's sea of consciousness. Those lit nodes form a three-dimensional star map in the void composed of the spiritual world. Surdak's spiritual consciousness
Floating in the void, these nodes emit faint light, constantly nourishing Surdak's spiritual consciousness, and in fact making Surdak's spiritual consciousness stronger.
What made Surdak feel a little helpless was that although the power of holy light in his body had increased, he still could not suppress the trace of the black curse.
Perhaps some of the lowest-level sacrifices can be bought in the magic shop, Surdak thought to himself.
The lights in the bedroom next door are still not on. The two little girls, Lina and Nedra, probably haven't returned to the Knight Academy yet. I hope the snow will not have a big impact on their training journey.
After a simple sacrificial ceremony, the blood hole in the leg slowly shrank again...
On a snowy night, the lights of Helensa City dimmed at night.
The howls of wild beasts came from the dark pine forest outside the city.
A group of armored guards on the top of the city walked through the thick snow and passed between the wall stacks. This was a winter night in the city of Hilanza.
…
In the sword hall of the Knight Academy, Surdak can now spare some time to practice sword practice here every week.
What he was holding at the moment was a wooden sword similar to a Western rapier. This kind of wooden sword was light in texture and the blade was relatively thin. The wooden sword would break with just a little force.
The reason why Surdak chose such a wooden sword was to allow himself to give up his advantage in strength so that he could improve his swordsmanship skills during battle. Surdak wore a set of soft leather light armor.
Wearing a protective mask on his head, he was holding his breath and staring at the rapier in the hand of the female swordsman in front of him. The sword suddenly disappeared from the female swordsman's hand, and suddenly appeared in the lower left corner the next second.
, in Suldak it was like a black spot piercing his lower abdomen.
Only a Western thin sword can perform the 'thrust' from such a weird angle. He was a little overwhelmed and hurriedly handed out the wooden sword in his hand, trying to deflect the stabbing sword, but when the sword in his hand was swung out, that
A bit of cold light suddenly exploded in Surdak's eyes, like dozens of arrows shooting at Surdak at the same time, forming a waterfall of rain in his eyes.
Surdak half-crouched almost as a reflex, assumed a defensive posture, and swung his right arm out to block the sword in front of him. He retracted the wooden sword in his hand and pointed it directly at the female swordsman's heart.
The rapier in the hand of the female swordswoman opposite hit Suldak's right arm in an instant. Her light body flew into the air and avoided Surdak's stabbing sword. The rapier was stuck in front of Surdak's chest.
A white line was drawn, forcing Surdak to take half a step back. The intensive sword strikes stabbed at Surdak one after another. The thin sword in Surdak's hand was forced to defend every time, and his right hand
Without the shield, he could only use the wooden sword in his hand to parry the opponent's wooden sword. There was no effective offensive for a while, and he was forced to defend from beginning to end.
The movements of the two people in the practice room were a bit dazzling. A layer of sweat was already secreted on the female swordsman's forehead. Her nimble body was moving around, and the sweat fell on the oak floor. Her face was a little flushed.
Maintaining this continuous fast attack required a lot of physical strength, and she gradually became overwhelmed.
However, although Surdak on the opposite side has been forced to defend, his body is like a black reef in the storm sea. No matter how violent and rapid the attack is, there is no way to break through Surdak's defense. The female swordsman looms behind the body.
A swordsman wearing silver armor appeared, and then her speed suddenly increased a lot, and her body's balance ability was also significantly improved. The moment she jumped high, her body twisted at an incredible angle in mid-air.
, the wooden sword in his hand stabbed out quickly. Surdak was caught off guard, and the wooden sword in his hand was pushed away by the female swordsman opposite...
…
Darcy Christie reluctantly pressed the wooden sword against Suldak's chest, with a proud smile on her lips.
This time it was Darcy Christie who won the sword competition again. Her breathing seemed a little short, and the light leather armor on her body was almost soaked with sweat. She threw away the wooden sword in her hand and slumped down on a strip beside the wall of the practice room.
On the bench, every sword duel with Surdak would exhaust her last bit of energy, and after each sword duel, the next time she wanted to win, she would have to put in more energy than the previous one.
She was so weak that she didn't even want to move a finger.
The maid waiting aside quickly handed over a bottle of lavender vitality potion. Darcy Christie took it in her hand, pulled out the cork from the bottle and drank the vitality potion in one gulp. This is a way to quickly restore physical strength and relieve physical fatigue.
A magic potion that stimulates the body's functions to quickly return to normal. This potion also has a hidden effect, that is, drinking it when the body's physical strength is exhausted will improve the user's physical fitness.
This kind of 'vital potion' is not only expensive, but also difficult to buy in the magic market of Helensa City. All sources are in the hands of nobles.
As the leading Christie family in Helensa City, of course they can get some allocation of vitality potions. However, Darcy Christie is not the only member of the younger generation of the Christie family, so the vitality potions that can be allocated to her every month.
There are only two bottles.
Surdak knew how expensive this thing was, and the effect of the vitality potion seemed to be a simplified version of the 'Blessed Body'.
The maid took a dry towel to wipe the sweat from Darcy Christie's face and neck, and covered Darcy's face with a warm towel. She stretched out her hands and placed them on the back of the bench, trying her best to
Stretch your body and let the power of the vitality potion be quickly transferred to your limbs, so that you can fully utilize the power of the potion to improve yourself.
"Suldak, do you want to join our winter hunting?" Darcy Christie had a warm towel covering her face, but it did not affect her chat.
And this feeling of winning with difficulty can make her feel a great sense of satisfaction.
Surdak closed his eyes and sat on the floor of the practice room with his knees bent, one leg stretched out, and his back against the wall of the practice room. He was thinking about the sword move Darcy just used and how he could resist it.
The sword that struck just now.
Hearing Darcy's invitation, she asked curiously: "Where are you going? If it's just hunting wild boars and gray wolves in the forest, I'm not interested."
If it were in the past, Surdak would have flatly refused, but now, for him, hunting outside the city is also one of the ways to obtain the sacrifices needed for the sacrificial ceremony. The heads of low-level monsters are what he needs most urgently at the moment.
Darcy Christie said: "Go to the snowy ridge in the Paglos Mountains. There are often groups of sand wolves there. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch a snow monster or a mountain lion..."
Suldak opened his eyes, turned to look at Darcy Christie and asked, "When are you going to go?"
Darcy Christie was still lying on the bench, letting the maid relax the muscles on her body that were almost twisted together, and said hummingly: "The colder it is, the snow will fall harder. When those monsters
If he can't find anything to eat, he will run out of the mountains. Bird has a manor over there, and we can all stay there and treat it like a vacation..."
"Okay, count me in when the time comes. I really want to hunt some sand wolves." Suldak touched the magic belt bag on his body. There were still two sand wolf heads left in it, but obviously Darcy Christie was hunting this time.
I can't wait for the event.
Suldak got up from the ground, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, and said hello to Darcy Christie: "I still have something to do, so I need to take a step first..."
Before Darcy Christie had time to ask Suldak where he planned to go later, Suldak had already walked out of the practice room, and there was only the sound of the door slamming.
…
Surdak is planning to return to Wall Village overnight this weekend. Before that, he needs to wander around the magic grocery store to see if he can buy low-level sacrifices like sand wolf heads, otherwise once the 'Blessed Body' gains
When the effect disappears and the leg injury recurs halfway, that's the real trouble.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to buy a batch of gifts to take back, so he wanted to rush over to the market before it ended.
Surdak changed his clothes and left the sword hall, and then went to the stable to take out the Gubo horse. He rode it to master Abe's leather shop and constructed the magic pattern that had completed the last step.
Take out the base materials. The base materials of these three sets of magic pattern structures look very different from the set of advanced salamander leather armor that Surdak got before. The base materials of these three sets of magic pattern structure leather armors are connected to each other.
The seams are almost invisible, and there are large areas of blank space on the leather armor, probably for the inscription master to carve the magic pattern array at these locations.
There are three inscription masters in the city of Halanza, but it is basically impossible to ask them to make magic patterns for themselves at the moment. It is said that the orders received by the three inscription masters have been scheduled for next autumn.
Go, the way to make a magic pattern structure is to collect enough magic crystals and then make an appointment with an inscription master.
But now it seems that it is impossible for any inscription master to be able to make a magic pattern structure for Surdak in a short period of time.
In addition, the high production cost of the magic pattern structure is enough to stun Surdak. All of Surdak's current property combined is only enough to buy a set of magic pattern structure. Vol.
There is still a reservoir to be built in the village, and Surdak also wants to tidy up the tidal flats at the river bend downstream of the village. These things will cost a lot of money, and now is not the time to consider making a magic pattern structure.
What appears most in winter markets are all kinds of frozen meats. Relatively speaking, there are very few vegetables and fruits, basically only those that can be stored in cellars.
In this season, some frozen sea fish will be transported from the coastal cities of the Green Empire. Piles of frozen fish that are hard to freeze are piled in the market. The price of an arm-sized snapper is about four silver coins, Sur.
Duck could imagine that there must be many villagers in Wall Village who had never eaten sea fish in half their lives, so he bought some.
A knight came to the market to buy a large amount of ingredients. Of course, this scene could not escape the eyes of other merchants.
So when Suldak was walking through the market with his horse, many shops would shout loudly in an attempt to attract Suldak's attention. Suldak picked out some frozen pork legs and wheat flour to buy.
After coming down, he finally bought some ham from the southern provinces, cheese from the Durva province, etc. The purchase was not completed until his magic belt was filled with ingredients.
After leaving the market with a full load of goods, Surdak visited a few more magic grocery stores, and finally saw a row of devil antelope heads hanging on the shelves in a magic grocery store...
