Regardless of her physical weakness, the young mage knelt on the ground and carefully inspected the newly peeled bear skin. Although it had been washed away by the rain several times, the bear skin was still wet and exuded a faint smell of blood. Ten minutes later, the girl
The mage raised his charming face that was both happy and angry, and stared at Claude with his big eyes: "How did you do that?"
"It's very simple," Claude avoided those big eyes and shrugged: "Spell, if I do it myself, I won't come back until tomorrow at least."
The young mage nodded and did not ask what the spell was. She spread the bear skin on the ground, hoping to dry it with the heat of the fireplace.
Claude bent down and helped her straighten the bear skin: "Do you want me to help you get it and temper it?"
The young mage shook her head: "No, this bear skin cannot be tanned. Once tanned, it will be useless to me. Dry it first, and then I will do it myself when I feel better. This bear skin is a magic weapon for me."
key."
"Dressed up as a black bear?" Claude asked: "The first time I saw you was by the waterfall and the big pool. You were wearing that old bear skin, and you looked like a weird black bear.
At that moment, I was still thinking, why is this black bear walking like this, but I didn’t expect you to be inside..."
Well, it would be better not to mention this. As soon as she mentioned this young mage, her cheeks turned red. She rolled her eyes at Claude in shame and anger. That time she went to take a bath in the big pool, but Claude looked at her.
"I'm using the mimicry technique. Do you think it's enough to wear a bear skin? The old bear skin is too old. It's been twenty years. You can't turn into a real big black bear using the mimicry technique. Wait for me
When you are well, draw this new bear skin on the rune magic circle, and then you can put this bear skin on and turn it into a real big black bear..." The young mage defended herself with a red face.
"Mimicry? Isn't it transfiguration?" Claude asked in his heart. He can turn into a big black bear. Is this a druid? "I used to read those novels, which said that those evil magicians can transform into various forms."
Beast, it seems that this is the same shape-shifting technique as yours..."
"I heard from my mother that in the early days, magicians did not need animal skins to transform into beasts. They only needed some precious magic materials. It is said to be a change, but in fact it should be transformation. In the eyes of others, it is indeed a real beast. With
The beast has the same dexterity and strength, as well as the fighting skills and ferocity. Later, the depletion of magic materials made it impossible to cast such a spell, so we had to further improve it and change the transformation spell to the mimicry spell, which requires the intact fur of the beast. Only in this way can we
Transformed into a real beast in a short period of time..."
The young mage explained, and then remembered what Claude said just now: "Do you think magicians are evil?"
"This is not what I think, but people all over the continent think of magicians this way. It is written in books and everyone says so. Just like you and me, we have not done anything evil, but as long as we are discovered by others,
Our status as magicians means that we are evil in their eyes." Claude replied with a smile: "Actually, I personally think that magic is just a weapon, and it is good in the hands of a good person, because he will not
To harm others. In the hands of bad people, it is a threat, and he will use magic to do evil.
I studied magic and became a magician. Firstly, I was curious, and secondly, I wanted to explore the mysteries of magic. I never thought of using magic to harm others. I will not offend others unless they offend me. With magic, I don’t cause trouble, but I am not afraid of it either. It makes me more
I have gained confidence. My only worry is that my identity will be exposed and my family will be affected. But now that I am in the army, no one will doubt that I am a magician.
You know, when I saw you, I thought of my sister Anna, who is only seventeen years old and is also a magician. When I found out that she had the same magical talent as me, I told her the taboos of magicians
, but she insisted on learning magic. Now I have been away from home for nearly three years, and she has become a first-level rune mage and takes care of my mother and younger brother at home. So I don’t have any ulterior motives in helping you.
Purpose, I just thought of Anna. You are as strong as her, living alone in the mountains and forests with the black wind. I admire you very much..."
The young mage lowered her head in embarrassment: "Sorry, at first I thought you were like those people and wanted to get something from me..."
Claude laughed dumbly: "What can you do for me to covet? You don't have as many spells as I do, and my life is so poor. At least I won't be able to bear the days of hiding in the mountains and eating semolina cakes. The only thing that makes me compare
What I admire is you, the big black wolf, who is very understanding of human nature and very smart."
Hearing Claude mention its name, the big black wolf raised his head and looked at Claude, then rushed to the side of the young mage, pretending to be protective.
"My mother picked it up in a wolf den when it was just born and had not yet opened its eyes, so she brought it to me to raise. Later, after I became a first-level mage, I used the spiritual enlightenment technique to open up its intelligence, so that it could be like me.
The mind is connected, so it is so smart..." The young mage touched the big black wolf's head and hugged it in her arms, making Claude envious.
"By the way, I still don't know your name. I think it's time for you to introduce yourself?" Claude asked.
"I, my name is Xi, Sirilati. Ke Wenbeilen, you, you can call me Xi, Sheila..." The young mage's face turned red and her voice became softer and softer...
"Okay, I'll call you Sheila from now on." Claude asked with satisfaction: "By the way, Sheila, did you learn your magic from your mother? Then where did your mother go? Why did you get one?
People live in mountains and forests?”
Silla's face suddenly changed from red to pale, and her expression became sad.
"Sorry, Sheila, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked such a private question." Claude quickly slapped himself to apologize.
"It's okay..." Sheila shook her head: "One summer, a magician with a hooked nose came. He must be an old acquaintance of my mother. He seemed to persuade my mother to go with him to a man named Nubicia.
They said they had discovered a magical relic and wanted to excavate it. They also organized several people, most of whom were acquaintances with my mother, and said that the trip would only take half a year. It is said that the magical relic has a history of more than a thousand years and is not well preserved.
As you know, there should be great gains.
My mother finally moved and decided to go with him. I was fourteen years old at that time and could take care of myself, and Black Wind had grown up. So my mother asked me to stay here and wait for her to come back, which would not take more than half a year.
But she never came back. Four years have passed and there is still no news. I don’t know where to find her, so I can only wait here..."
Claude let out a long breath and thought for a moment, this was most likely a sad story about an unexpected treasure hunt.
"You don't know Nubisia Continent? It is a wild land larger than our Farea Continent, but now most of it has become a colony of various continental countries. It is said that it takes about 20 days to get there by boat at best. Fortunately,
You didn't go out to look for your mother, otherwise I wouldn't know you here." Claude said.
"I, it's not that I don't want to go out and look for it, it's just that I don't know how to look for it. I've been living here with my mother since I was a child. Except for my mother and Hei Feng, I rarely talk to anyone, and I don't know how.
Talk to people. Mom said that men are all bad guys and liars, and those who are attentive for nothing have no good intentions..."
Claude touched his nose, feeling very embarrassed. What he said was too straightforward.
Footsteps sounded on the stairs, and soon they were outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
"Come in." Claude was so happy that he didn't even know how to talk to Sheila.
Michael opened the door and came in. He was startled by the bear skins on the ground. However, he immediately stood up and asked: "Sir, your fried bear is ready. Do you want to bring it up to eat or come down to eat?"
Claude looked at the young mage: "Sheila, do you want some? This is the bear you killed..."
"Then I'll have some, and give Black Wind some too." Sheila nodded.
"Okay, I'll go down and bring it to you." Claude said.
After leaving the door, Mike asked curiously: "Sir, did she really kill such a big black bear?"
"Of course, otherwise where would I find such a big black bear? With such a heavy rain outside, this black bear must have come out to look for food and arrived where she lived. It destroyed her shack, injured her and was killed by her.
, but she had the big black wolf to help, and the big black wolf was also injured." Claude replied.
After going downstairs, Claude found Markchi, two signal soldiers and the big man Gemie eating fried bear steak. Markchi was still a little drunk and stuck out his thumb to Claude: "Sir, you are so awesome, and you were beaten again."
You tricked a beautiful girl into coming here."
Claude went over angrily and punched him: "What nonsense are you talking about? She is the daughter of a hunter and lives in the mountains. I met her when I went to play in the mountains. This time she was attacked and injured by a black bear. She raised
The wolf dog reported to me to save her, we are just friends..."
"Relationships between men and women begin as friends..." Mark Qi muttered: "Why can't I meet beautiful women and be friends? It's not because you have a pretty face, because women all like pretty faces..."
"Eat your food, then go back to the house." Claude cursed.
The two signal soldiers and the big man Gimi were all chuckling nearby.
Claude got a plate and first got a piece of fried bear steak for the young mage. Then he got a small wooden basin and got three pieces for the big black wolf. Two of the remaining three big pieces were for himself and one for Mai.
Jack.
"By the way, sir, what should I do with these two big bags of bear meat?" McJack asked.
"In the evening, you and Gimi marinated all the bear meat. Marinate it with salt, honey, spices and salty bean paste for two hours, then put it in a hot oil pan and add oil, then put it in the stew pot over high heat.
Boil it for an hour, take it out and dry it. Tomorrow morning you can slice it and put it in brown bread for everyone to taste. It’s not like you haven’t done it before with me, just do it the same way you used to marinate beef, do you understand?”
Claude nodded to the big man Germi: "And you, Germi, eat less. If you're hungry, eat more bread. Don't be like last time when you had thirty kilograms of braised beef. You ate four or five kilograms in one night.
, it’s okay to taste it, don’t treat it as a staple food.”
Carrying the fried bear steak upstairs, Claude waited until the young mage finished eating before asking: "By the way, Sheila, there is also a sack of bear bones here. What are you going to do with it? The smell is too strong in the room..."
"
The young mage thought for a while and said: "I need to get the marrow out of these bear bones. This is the main medicine for trauma medicine. But I don't have the strength now. How about you put this bag in a safe place and wait.
I'll deal with it after I'm well..."
Claude put down the finished plate and said, "How about I help you take out the bone marrow, so that these bear bones won't attract insects and ants."
Just do what he said, Claude spread an oilcloth on the ground, and then found a large jar with a wide mouth. He did not shy away from being in the room. In front of the young mage, he directly used the magic hand and precise control, easily.
He broke the bear bones in half, took out the bear marrow inside and put them into a large bottle. In less than half an hour, he finished processing a large bag of bear bones, which made the young mage jealous beyond measure.
"This spell of yours is really easy to use, it's so convenient." Sheila was almost drooling.
"Spell Hand and Precision Control were originally rune spells. Magicians hundreds of years ago used these two spells to do those alchemical experiments. I use these two spells to help me in my life. Now
You understand why I skinned a bear so quickly. The last time I was entangled by your vine, I used my magic hand to tear it apart. If you are willing, we can exchange spells."
"Are you willing to exchange spells with me?" Sheila's eyes lit up, but then dimmed: "I only know five spells. My mother took her magic book with her when she left. I haven't learned many of the spells in it.
, she also took away a lot of magic items. I am now a second-level mage, but I only have five basic first-level spells, and these five spells are not as useful as your two spells..."
It turns out that your mother didn't go to hunt for treasures, but to deliver them... Claude finally understood a doubt hidden in his heart, which was that it could be seen from the poisonous smoke traps Sheila arranged in the witch forest.
Her magic power is much stronger than that of Claude. This is because she is already a second-level mage and she is only eighteen years old. From this point of view, her magic talent is stronger and more talented than Claude's.
It's a pity that she doesn't have any attack spells. No wonder she had to charge with a spear when she entangled Claude with vines, just like she had to fight the black bear that attacked her shack on a rainy night. There are no spells that can be used in battle, of course.
This can only be blamed on her mother who went on a treasure hunt and took away the magic book and never returned...
"Tell me, what are those five spells of yours? Let me see if I can exchange them with you..." Claude now looked like a strange old man trying to trick a little girl with a lollipop.
