Many of the items in this magical grocery store are household decorations. The owner of the store is an old man over fifty years old. He is sitting behind the counter at the entrance of the store, holding a parchment book in his hand.
Wearing a pair of reading glasses and looking at the patterns on the pages, he kept rubbing his hands on the pages, with a nostalgic look on his face, which made people know at a glance that he was a man with stories.
Surdak stood in front of the devil antelope heads and looked at them for a long time. After some processing, these devil antelope heads looked lifelike, and the horns on each devil antelope head were also well preserved. These devil antelope heads were made
They are specimens and can usually be used to decorate the walls of the living room. There are also some magic wall lamps in the grocery store, as well as some magic carpets that can be hung on the wall and release a warm atmosphere.
Another row of shelves was filled with various magic scrolls, but the shelves that originally stored magic herbs were empty. There were also nameplates of various magic herbs on the shelves, not even a hemostatic grass. Surdak withdrew his gaze.
, once again set his sights on the heads of these magic antelopes.
"Have you taken a fancy to these devil antelope heads?" The shop owner was already standing next to Suldak, looking at the devil antelope heads on the wall with him, and then said: "The magic core in the skull of these devil antelopes is
No one took it out, but the horns of the devil antelope are still well preserved, and the entire head of the devil antelope has been embalmed. If you buy it back and hang it on the wall, it will definitely be a very good decoration."
Surdak was thinking in his mind how many magic antelope heads he should buy, and then he heard the shop owner continue to introduce: "Of course, in terms of practicality, they are far inferior to these magic wall lamps, although the magic wall lamps are slightly more expensive.
There are some, but they are all made of magic metal and are definitely worth the money."
Suldak looked at these magic wall lamps, thinking that if he bought one for Old Sheila, she would be reluctant to use it. You must know that before this, the villagers in Wall Village were reluctant to use oil lamps even at night.
"You can also take a look at these magic carpets. These magic carpets rely on the magic lines in the decoration to emit weak heat. This effect can probably last throughout the winter. After you buy it, you can hang it opposite the fireplace.
On top of the cold wall, even if the fire in the fireplace goes out, the room will not become too cold." The owner thought that in such a cold winter, maybe Suldak would use this.
Suldak pointed to the devil antelope heads on the wall and asked the shop owner: "How much do these devil antelope heads cost?"
“Seventy silver coins... Well, the two horns on the head of this magic antelope are worth some money.” The shop owner immediately told the price.
Suldak did not comment, then looked past the magic wall lamps and asked: "Where are those magic carpets?"
The shop owner's eyes lit up and he felt that he might have met a big business owner. He said with a smile on his face: "Forty-five silver coins, if you want to continue using it next winter, you can bring this magic carpet to me before autumn."
, I will be responsible for finding the magic tailor to re-embroider the magic carpet. You only need to pay half of the cost, and you can continue to keep this magic carpet warm all winter long."
Suldak thought that maybe old Sheila needed a blanket like this. In the coldest winter, she could sit by the stove and put a blanket like this on her legs. Even if she didn't cover herself, she could hang it on the wall.
Beat some of the cold.
Suldak asked the shop owner again: "Do you have any magic scroll that can keep people awake?"
"Of course, I have a 'mental concentration' magic scroll here. As long as you cast this scroll, you can learn with twice the result with half the effort. I would like to ask you, are you a magician?" The shop owner said to Suldak with a smile.
, then he seemed to have thought of something and asked the next sentence.
“No, I am a knight.” Surdak replied.
“After purchasing this kind of ‘mental concentration’ magic scroll, are you going to use it yourself?” The shop owner frowned and asked.
“That’s right.” Surdak nodded and admitted.
At this time, the shop owner looked embarrassed and said to Suldak: "This is probably not enough. This kind of magic scroll requires a magician to guide it with a spell. If you are not a magician, you cannot activate this kind of magic scroll."
"Okay, forget it." Surdak didn't expect such a thing to happen. He didn't have much contact with advanced magic scrolls before, and he still had more than a dozen in his magic pocket. He just didn't know about those scrolls.
Names and uses, it seems that most of those scrolls themselves cannot be used now.
Seeing that Surdak gave up without hesitation, the shop owner thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to buy a magic item that can keep you awake at all times during battle or work?"
Suldak nodded and replied: "Well, more or less."
When the owner of the store heard what Suldak said, he walked slowly to the front of the counter and dug out a small wooden box from a wooden box that looked like it was covered with magic patterns. He reached out and took the wooden box out.
The box was pushed in front of Surdak, and the lid of the box was opened. There was a necklace lying inside. This was a necklace made of gold. At first glance, it seemed to be worth a lot. The necklace also had a necklace.
Gold pendant, the style of the pendant is a snow mountain.
Suldak held the necklace in his hand, feeling heavy in it. A cool breath came from the necklace, which really cheered him up.
The shop owner said to Surdak: "This magic necklace is called the Lucidity Pendant. Although it is a bit expensive, it is a magic item. Its function is to keep the wearer awake at all times. Many magic apprentices will buy it for themselves.
The previous article, this thing can help them stay awake when doing experiments all night long, and it has certain resistance to some hypnosis and illusion. Because it can keep you awake at all times, when you are ready to fall asleep
, be sure to remember to put the necklace in the jewelry box, otherwise it may be difficult for you to fall asleep. In addition, it can keep you awake at all times, but it does not mean that you can never rest after you own it. You still need to maintain adequate sleep.
Yes, the consequence of excessive use of sobriety pendants is that it is easy to become insane."
“How much does this necklace cost?” Surdak pondered for a moment, then asked.
“Ten magic crystals.”.
Although he knew that this magic necklace must be worth a lot of money, when the shop owner quoted the price, Suldak still took a deep breath. It was not ordinary expensive.
His first reaction was that the necklace was too expensive and he should not buy it, but then he thought of how he was hypnotized by the black magician from the Black Magic Monastery using the 'Sleeping Cloud'. He hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth.
He said to the shop owner: "Five magic antelope heads, two magic carpets, and a sobriety pendant, a total of ten magic crystals..."
The owner of the grocery store was a little embarrassed. He thought about it for a long time, and finally said like cutting meat: "You buy a sobriety pendant, and I will give you a magic antelope head, a magic wall lamp and a magic carpet. After all, magic
There is no need to hang too many decorations like antelope heads at home..."
A quarter of an hour later, Surdak walked out of the magic grocery store with a smile on his face. In his magic waist bag, there was a jewelry box with a sober pendant and two magic carpets. Because he bought too many gifts in the market, the magic waist bag no longer had any.
There is enough space, so the five magic antelope heads can only be put into the bag and hung on the hook next to the saddle.
Suldak rode back to the Knight Academy.
…
On the morning of the weekend, Suldak and Assistant Teacher Pablo took leave, left the Knight Academy early on horseback, and left the city of Helensa with the first group of teams leaving the city.
He was wearing a salamander leather armor, and in order to avoid attracting attention, he also put on a gray hooded cloak to wrap himself up tightly. No one had cleared the snow on the road outside the city, and there was only some clutter on the road.
The footprints and ruts extend all the way into the mountains, but the further away from the city of Helensa, the footprints and ruts become increasingly rare.
The snow in the city of Helensa is not heavy, but there are many places in the mountains where the snow is waist deep. Many of the mountain roads leading to Wall Village are ancient mountain roads, and these ancient roads are in the lowest-lying areas.
, some snow hills are even as high as one person, and the entire mountain road has been blocked by heavy snow, making it difficult to walk even on horseback.
Suldak regretted a little. He didn't listen to Karl's advice before leaving. Karl asked him to wait a few more days before returning to Wall Village. He felt that if he rode a horse, no matter how difficult the mountain road was, it shouldn't be able to stop him, but walking into
In the mountains, I realized that I had been too optimistic about the mountain road conditions. After walking into the mountains for just half a day, the mountain roads were completely covered with snow.
Suldak hesitated to retrace his steps and wait a week to set off, as Karl suggested.
But then I thought about it, since I have already walked so far, even if it is difficult to walk, it is only a day's journey on horseback, how far can it go...
This is what he thinks and does.
Plunging into the snow-capped mountains and forests, Surdak almost always led the horse along the way.
The cold north wind rolled up the snow in the mountains and forests, like blowing bursts of blue smoke. The four legs of the ancient Bolai horse waded through the snow, and soon the horse's legs were covered with a layer of frost. Surdak was worried
The horse's legs were frostbitten, so he took out a blanket from the magic waist bag, cut it into four pieces with a dagger, wrapped them around the four horse legs respectively, and covered the ancient Bolai horse's back with a quilt.
The entire mountain forest is completely white, and many low bushes are buried in the snow.
After Suldak walked for half a day, when he climbed over the second mountain ridge, he had a strong feeling in his heart, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. But every time he turned around and looked back, the mountain road behind him
It was deserted, and I didn't find anyone following me several times.
Subsequently, at a fork in the mountain road, Suldak did not choose the mountain road, but led the horse directly into an oak forest.
The low trees in the forest are buried under the snow. Many small animals that come out to find food leave many scattered footprints in the forest. Surdak also uses these small and subtle footprints to navigate in the oak forest.
Walk all the way up the mountain.
…
The assassin who was following Surdak saw Surdak leading the horse into the oak forest, and he almost cursed that such heavy snow was actually going into the mountains.
Drilling into the oak forest, the assassin somewhat regretted agreeing to this tracking mission.
The assassin habitually hid behind a tree, hiding his body as much as possible, and carefully searched for the footprints of Surdak and the horse in the snow.
When he walked into an oak forest, he found that the field of vision was full of strong oak trees. If he wanted to continue tracking Suldak, he could only rely on the clear string of footprints in the snow. He thought to himself: "Samoa
That woman is indeed not very reliable, she actually issued such a task..."
Just when he was complaining about Samoa, the only footprints left in the snow were the hoofprints of Gubolai's horses. When Surdak's footprints disappeared inexplicably, the assassin hesitated for a moment, and his heart suddenly became cold.
Halfway through, before he could think clearly, his body rushed forward.
Suldak, as if the god descended from the earth, jumped down from the oak branch above his head, and cut the air with the craftsman's sword in his hand.
The assassin then hid behind an oak tree and had no intention of confronting Surdak. When he saw Surdak rushing towards him with the Craftsman's Sword, he quickly escaped into the shadows.
, but unfortunately, the oak forest is completely white, and there is no shadow that can be used.
Surdak struck with his sword, and the assassin took out his dagger and responded hastily, but was struck by Surdak's sword. The handle of the dagger in the assassin's hand hit his chest. The assassin only felt that he had been struck by a sword.
A heavy iron rod hit his chest, and he took several steps back. His back suddenly hit the trunk of a tree. The thick oak branches were shaken by the shock, and countless pieces of snow hanging on the trees fell down.
The assassin sprang out of the falling snow like an agile rabbit.
Samoa had warned him before that he must not confront Surdak head-on. Surdak was not affected by the 'Shadow Binding', which almost reduced the assassin's assassination methods by half.
He was very confident in his speed, but he didn't expect that the assassin only felt the shadow in front of him flicker, and a silver shield magnified infinitely in front of his eyes. His body had no time to make changes...
Surdak threw out the dwarf chain shield in his hand, and the shield flew out with a whoosh. Unexpectedly, the assassin in front of him was so stupid that he didn't know how to dodge, and the dwarf chain shield directly hit him.
The face of an assassin.
With a 'bang' sound, the assassin was hit by the thick dwarf chain shield so hard that stars appeared in his eyes. He tried to escape, but was knocked back with a sword by Surdak who caught up later.
The Craftsman's Sword in Surdak's hand was like a thick iron rod, forcing the assassin back a few steps, and the assassin was about to cough up blood.
While the assassin was not paying attention, Surdak threw out the dwarf chain shield and chain to wrap the assassin's legs...
A scream came from the oak forest.
After a while, Suldak led the horse out of the oak forest.
