There is a public bathroom in the dormitory of Knight Academy, but only teachers and students of Knight Academy can enter. Natasha followed the girls next door, Lina and Nedra, to take a bath in the academy's public bathroom, while he stayed in the dormitory room.
, placed the bronze-handled torch on the table, found a clean rag and carefully cleaned the dust and stains on the torch.
Until the pattern on the torch emerged clearly, Surdak discovered that the surface of the torch bought in the lamp magic shop was actually engraved with complex magic patterns. Like the shining saber, it had no gem base. When he put his hand on it
On the handle of the torch, the heavy torch has the cold texture of metal, and the moire marks on it make the torch not so slippery to hold.
Surdak carefully injected the sacred breath from his body into the torch. The torch itself had a faint suction force, and actually actively guided the sacred breath to flow slowly along the specific magic lines on the torch. Wherever the sacred breath flowed,
The dark patterns hidden on the torch will emit streaks of holy light, just like the sun breaks through the dark clouds in the sky and forms pillars of light on the earth.
The top of this copper torch is designed like the parapet on the top of the arrow tower. When the holy light is completely ignited, the light on the four walls of the torch gradually disappears, and instead, a ball of sacred flame ignites at the top of the torch.
The magic notes in Surdak's magic pocket kept sending signals to him again. Only then did Surdak take out the magic notes from the magic pocket, put them on the table and flipped to the last page, Celia.
Magician Cooper held the railing with both hands and looked at the torch in Suldak's hand with curiosity. Her eyes gradually became brighter. She pointed at the torch in Suldak's hand and said, "Where did you buy it?"
The Holy Light Torch? It is said that this thing is a weapon blessed by the Statue of Liberty. It is only a weapon specially used by the fighting priests in the temple. Others pick up this torch and it is no different from ordinary iron!"
"Wait... I seem to have guessed that maybe as long as you have the power of the Holy Light, you can light the Holy Torch!" Celia Cooper said with excitement.
"This torch is called the Sacred Torch?" Surdak asked doubtfully.
Celia Cooper stared at the torch, with an expression on her face that was both gritted and gloating, and she said to Suldak: "Yes, the fighting priests in the temple were holding sacred torches and flails all over the world to capture black people.
Magician, I really have a deep memory of this weapon!"
Surdak casually danced around the room twice. Except that the hand felt slightly heavier, the sacred flame on the top of the torch danced with the torch, and there was no feeling of any power.
"The holy light on this torch restrains all undead creatures!" Celia Cooper said, staring at the holy light torch.
"So that's it!" Surdak said as he stopped releasing the sacred aura, and the torch in his hand slowly extinguished. He said with a somewhat sad expression: "If I had had this weapon when I participated in the winter hunt,
Maybe Llewellyn wouldn't die!"
"Maybe the one who dies will be you!" Celia Cooper said to Suldak unceremoniously.
Suldak understood what Celia Cooper meant. In such a battle, he might be easily targeted by the Necromancer. If it weren't for a sneak attack, he really wouldn't have much confidence in defeating the Necromancer who commanded a large number of undead.
.
Seeing the holy light on the torch in Suldak's hand slowly extinguishing, Celia Cooper breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The moonlight outside the window left a dim pattern on the floor. Beatrice and Hathaway were sitting opposite each other on the floor-to-ceiling windowsill. They were wearing snow-white nightgowns, their legs were folded together, and they were holding each other in their hands.
Holding a glass of golden cider, Beatrice had her long hair loose. She had just taken a shower, and the blush on her face had not faded away. She looked up at the bright moonlight in the night sky, her eyes looking a little blurred.
The lights in Bena City were extinguished one by one, leaving only the crisscrossing streetlights outlining the entire city.
"Do you think what Cole Norton said is true?" Beatrice took a sip of golden cider and asked Hathaway softly.
Hathaway lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "He has no reason to lie about this matter. It will do him no good. He can't be so boring."
"Then are you going to Hellanza City?" Beatrice's eyes became bright and she stared at Hathaway and asked.
Hathaway's heart moved slightly, but she asked stiffly: "What?"
Beatrice replied matter-of-factly: "Of course I'm going to find him."
She suddenly stood up from the window sill and said excitedly to Hathaway: "To put it this way, what I saw that day should be correct. I always thought it was my hallucination, but now I am sure that what I saw that day
It must be him who arrives."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Hathaway was confused by what her best friend said, her light green eyes staring at Beatrice's fair face.
Beatrice seemed to be lost in memories, standing under the watery moonlight, and said: "I mean in the summer, we were still in the Swordsman Academy preparing for the graduation ceremony. I seemed to see Surda at that time
Knight Gram was standing outside the academy. He saw me, and of course you, but he didn’t know why he left without meeting us. I saw his back when he turned around. At that time, I couldn’t completely confirm that it was him. Now
Looking back, he must have come to the Swordsman Academy to visit us."
Hathaway raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, looked at her best friend and asked, "Why have you never mentioned this to me?"
Beatrice stretched her hands into her long fluffy hair and scratched her head, then said with a silly smile: "I thought that was an illusion?"
After saying that, she picked up her nightgown, ran to the bed, pulled out the suitcase under the bed, opened the suitcase, and said, "I have to prepare, let me think about what I need to bring for the trip!"
"Are you really going to Hellanza City to find him?" Hathaway's eyes widened, and she felt her heart beating very fast.
Beatrice winked at her best friend and said, "Of course, and it's not just me, it's us... If you don't go, don't regret it in the future!"
…
Suldak gently moved away his thighs and arms, quietly got up and walked to the terrace.
Breathing the fresh morning air, Surdak began to swing the craftsman's sword in his hand, silently recording the numbers in his heart. Later, he would have to swing his shield and perform five thousand blocking movements. These are all things that must be done every day.
practice, thanks to the snow, he and Natasha finally had some private space.
He still has to attend cultural classes in the academy every morning, but is more free in the afternoons. There are not classes every afternoon. After Assistant Professor Pablo helped him adjust the class schedule, life in the Knight Academy has become very easy, and he can still go there occasionally.
Compete in swordsmanship with Darcy Christie in the sword hall.
Suldak pushed open the door of the sword gym. Miss Jean at the front desk looked up at Suldak and pointed to the practice room in the back, indicating that Darcy Christie was also there. Suldak was in the lobby of the sword hall.
According to the weight of the weapon, a slightly heavier wooden sword was selected from the weapon rack, and he walked into Darcy Christie's practice room with the wooden sword.
Darcy Christie is the swordsmanship instructor in the swordsmanship hall. Although the swordsmanship courses at the Knight Academy are not included in the main subjects, there are still many trainee knights who are willing to take the time to improve their swordsmanship level. There are three swordsmanship instructors in the swordsmanship hall.
The daily class schedule is not very tight, and most of the time will be leisurely.
Suldak walked into the practice room carrying a wooden sword. Darcy Christie was slashing at the training wooden man with all his strength. The wooden sword made a crackling sound like exploding beans when he slashed at the training wooden man. When he saw Suldak walking away
When Darcy Christie came in, she stopped and the two of them started fighting without any communication.
Darcy Christie knew that Surdak usually did not use all his strength, and his sword moves became more swift and weird, forcing Surdak into danger in the practice room. However, Surdak's physical strength was sufficient, no matter how hard he encountered,
Able to deal with big crises calmly, Miss Darcy finally managed to break through Surdak's defense with a sword. The wooden sword was pressed against Surdak's shoulder, and this round of sword competition was over.
Miss Darcy was wearing a linen shirt under her tight leather armor, which was almost soaked with sweat. She was a little exhausted and sat down looking at the wall of the practice room. At this time, Suldak would also carefully recall the process of the competition just now, and draw lessons from it.
At this time, Miss Jean at the front desk will bring two cups of hot tea at the right time, and sometimes two exquisite cookies.
Darcy Christie wiped the sweat on her face with a towel and asked Suldak: "I haven't congratulated you on obtaining the knighthood in advance. Have you registered with the knights?"
"Yeah!" Suldak took a sip of hot tea.
Miss Darcy asked with a slightly upward curve on her lips: "Have you thought about where to choose the knight leader?"
Surdak said truthfully: "I plan to elect the knight leader near Wall Village!"
In fact, he has been hesitating between Pudu Mountain and Wall Village recently regarding the choice of knight's collar. However, he recently sold a car of sulfur mines in succession, which made Surdak deeply touched. It is obviously better to have a mine at home than to develop one.
Farms make it easier to accumulate wealth.
"Aren't you going to take a piece of Lord Grenfell's red pine forest?" Miss Darcy asked.
Carl has always been keen on the red pine forest. Unfortunately, the Casement family's status in Helensa City is not high and they were not able to get a share of the red pine forest. At that time, Carl was quite regretful and did not expect to arrive.
Miss Akane actually asked Suldak if he wanted to share a piece of red pine forest.
"No, I don't want to open a lumber mill!" Suldak simply refused.
"There is also a large area of land near Hoyle Manor, which is very suitable for establishing a farm!" Miss Darcy was not surprised, and then recommended another piece of rich land.
Of course, the things that Miss Darcy recommended are all under the control of the Christie family. After Miss Hoyle inherited the title, because she had no meritorious service, the Hoyle family's third-class earl title was reduced to first-class viscount. Therefore, the Hoyle Manor near the
I'm afraid part of the land will have to be ceded, so Miss Hoyle has the first right to transfer the land.
Seeing that Suldak was unmoved, Miss Darcy also wanted to recommend the land near Fornak Manor. However, seeing that Surdak was not enthusiastic, she immediately thought of something and asked in surprise: "...you
Already decided?"
"I grew up in Wall Village and am more accustomed to the environment there," Suldak said.
Miss Darcy had nothing to say about Suldak's stubbornness, and the practice room fell into silence.
In fact, Karl also persuaded Surdak with the same words, but Karl did not have such good land resources. He just suggested that he choose an oak forest, at least he could sell a batch of acorns in the autumn, but Surdak decisively refused.
