Looking at the bright silver moon in the sky, Claude sighed deeply.
He has been thinking about it over and over these past few days, but he still can't make up his mind about what magic path he will choose in the future.
The battle mage is very good, but he has no place to learn those battle spells.
Becoming a rune mage who specializes in alchemy and magic talismans, although his combat effectiveness is poor, it is also difficult to raise alchemy experiment materials and magic materials. However, with Master Landers's diary in hand, Claude can follow the instructions above.
Successfully promoted to a fourth-level rune mage.
In fact, becoming a rune mage is not as bad as Claude imagined. At least the materials for several elementary alchemy experiments recorded in the diary and the magic notebook can be bought as long as you have money. For example, a few low-level magics
Potion formulas, as well as the refining of gun barrels and the construction of accessories in the alchemical magic talisman, etc. The materials required for these alchemical experiments can easily be purchased in apothecaries and blacksmith shops, which are nothing more than some herbs and metal ores.
.
With Claude's current wealth, it is not a problem to buy these experimental materials. The only difficulty is that it takes a lot of trouble and a lot of money to buy the magic materials to set up the alchemy magic array. For example, fire crystal, which is composed of
One of the basic materials of the alchemy magic talisman is now regarded as a precious raw material for jewelry. It is rare and difficult to buy on the market...
Claude once thought that if there was an alchemical magic array, then he might be able to do some alchemical experiments to see if he could make a flintlock gun, and maybe a revolver. This
He knew the structure of the two guns very well. Theoretically speaking, there was no problem in making them by hand. All that was needed was an alchemical magic talisman array and a secret place to set up the alchemical magic talisman array.
It's a pity that Claude can't do anything now. He can't buy the magic materials to set up the alchemy magic array, and there's no place to hide. He can only think about it in his heart. After all, he is only a country boy who is nearly seventeen years old.
Middle school students.
No matter what choice Claude makes for his future magic path, now he can only continue to practice the hexagram meditation technique, attracting and converting the fire element photons into his own magic power bit by bit. He is one step away from becoming a magician.
It will take a few more months to reach the level of Rune Mage...
As the days pass, the weather begins to get colder. Now Claude needs to wear a sweater knitted by his mother when he goes out in the morning. The sprain in his left foot has already healed, and Claude can jump around again, but this time the sprain
Jean-Claude realized that his body still needed exercise, so he got up early every morning and ran around the two southeastern districts of the town, which totaled a distance of nearly five or six kilometers...
When November comes, the students are a little restless. First, the annual vacation is coming, which is more than two and a half months of vacation. The students who have been in school for nearly ten months are eagerly looking forward to the vacation.
is coming. The second grade exam is about to begin. This is the most important exam to test the students' overall performance in this semester. It doesn't matter to those top students in the grade, but it is a torment for the rest of the students.
.
The teachers at the school also indulged the restlessness of the students and no longer required strict compliance with school disciplines. For these teachers, every time the holiday approaches, it means that the graduation of the third-year students is coming soon, and they still have a lot of
You have to be busy with other things, such as organizing graduation ceremonies, recommending outstanding graduates to seek public employment, etc...
Now that teachers have loosened their control over students, second-year classmates led by Bockal and Erikson often take advantage of the 20-minute break from get out of class to visit female classmates in the opposite girls' class, looking for opportunities to interact with them. Talking, joking, etc. There are often students who are distracted during the rest of the class because they struck up a conversation with the girl they like, with a silly smile on their face, and they don’t know where their minds are flying...
"These two fools are hopeless..." Seeing the idiotic expressions on Bockar's and Erikson's faces and their silly smiles, Claude could only shake his head. Wasn't it just during the recess?
Did these two go to the girls' class and have a few words with the big-eyed bespectacled girl Betty and the naturally charming Bilia? Then they came back like this. Looking at them, they should have imagined that they were with that girl.
The two women got married and had a lot of children...
"Sorry, Claude." Verricro said a little embarrassedly from the side.
Claude was confused: "What's wrong with you? Why did you apologize to me?"
"Well, well, last night, I told my father that I wanted to invite you to go hunting with us in Bailuzhou after the holidays. But my father rejected my proposal. He said that the winter in Bailuzhou is more dangerous than the normal season.
Because the hungry mountain leopard will attack any prey that enters its territory at this time, he cannot definitely guarantee the safety of his followers..."
Viricero lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My father also said that he believed that you have the courage to face these dangers. The giant python and Niros crocodile have proven that you are qualified. But because of your father
It's Mr. Morsang, so he can't risk offending the executive by inviting you to go hunting with us at Bailuzhou..."
Claude nodded to express his understanding: "It's okay, Vero, I understand your father's concerns. Even if my father agrees that I go hunting with you and my son in Bailuzhou, your father still has to worry about whether I will encounter any danger.
Something unexpected might happen, which would delay your hunting plan. So taking me with you is not worth the loss. He just made the wisest choice. There is nothing surprising about this. You don’t need to apologize."
Looking at Vericro who lowered his head and said nothing, Claude smiled: "Why don't you take a nap now to recuperate your energy? This afternoon is the final assessment of the physical education department. I am already preparing to compete with you for this physical education department.
First place.”
Claude was in the spotlight this time in the final assessment, and he rose to seventeenth place in liberal arts. Thanks to him, relying on small means such as plagiarism and sneak peeks to pass on answers, Boker, Erikson and Viriklo
Their liberal arts scores have also improved significantly, and among the sixty-three classmates in the class, they have also risen to the rank of around thirty or forty. Although most of the classmates know what is going on, it is because they have been a group of four for a long time.
The prestige in the class is not publicized...
Claude ranked first in the comprehensive score of physical education. He beat Viricault by an extremely slim margin. If it hadn't been for the fencing competition this time, Claude won the two-handed sword and rapier events.
The championship, and the fifth place in the dagger competition, and thus became the first place in the swordsmanship class, the honor of the first place in the physical class will still be taken away by Viricero. He is tall, strong and powerful.
The infinite Viriclo was born with an absolute advantage in physical sports such as wrestling and boxing, and Claude was helpless about this.
As soon as the school officially puts on annual vacation, Claude and his three friends will be separated. Ericson will board a ship and go to sea to follow his father, Captain Otruny, to hunt whales in stormy waters. This is Ericson's first time.
The ocean-going fishing boat called the Red Sea Shark that he boarded for the first time headed for dangerous stormy seas in winter, and he could not wait to set sail.
Virikro will also follow his father to Bailuzhou to hunt and collect herbs, which will take about seven or eight days. However, the father and son may need to go twice during this annual vacation, because his father promised to give his daughter, Virikro
Luo's sister got a stone fox fur. Bailu Island is very big, and the father and son would probably not be able to search for the stone fox's nest in seven or eight days.
Bockal also left White Deer Town. He was going to follow his father to inspect the various branches of their business in the three southwest counties, check this year's accounts, and issue dividends and year-end bonuses to the supervisors and clerks of each branch. He left
In a hurry, on the afternoon of the holiday, he got on his father's carriage and set off without even having time to say hello.
For Claude, he had nothing to do during the school's annual vacation. All his friends had left Bailu Town. Even if he wanted to go out to play, he had no friends to find, so he could only stay at home to accompany his younger brothers and sisters.
Doudou, the little snow dog who has grown up a lot, then stayed in his small attic to practice the hexagram meditation technique.
Taking advantage of the time now, Claude spent three days browsing all the bookstores and grocery stores in Bailu Town, even the grocery stalls in the open-air market. But he never found any magic items.
, he couldn't even find a book about the Dark Calendar, which filled him with disappointment.
On the other hand, his sister Angelina and brother Blovik were very happy to go shopping with Claude, because every time they went out, Claude would buy them clothes, toys and delicious snacks. In the end, it was Morsan who
The husband thought that Claude spent money too quickly. Even if he got a gold crown from the sale of the Niros crocodile, he would soon run out of money to buy things for his brother and sister, so he forbade Anna and Little Booker to follow them.
Claude went shopping.
More than a week later, Viriculuo came to visit. He brought Claude a hind leg of a mountain muntjac as a gift. He hunted it the night before when he returned from Bailuzhou, so he brought it to Claude.
Claude gives it a try.
The mountain muntjak was originally a very common wild herbivore in the three counties of southwest China. It is about the same size as an antelope, but it has no horns and the ability of an antelope to climb mountain walls. In addition, the meat is delicious, so it has become a favorite animal for hunters. Over the years
There are very few traces of mountain muntjacs in the three southwest counties. Only in the depths of the mountains and in rarely visited places like Bailuzhou can we find the traces of muntjac activities.
Verricro said that he followed his father to Bailuzhou this time mainly to collect medicinal herbs and hunt stone foxes. He collected a lot of medicinal herbs, which was enough to complete the pharmacy's commission, but no trace of the stone fox was found. So his father decided to go on the twelfth lunar month.
I will go to Bailuzhou again in March, and I may stay longer this time until I come back before the New Year.
Viriclo has always felt that it was a pity that Claude could not follow their father and son to hunt in Bailuzhou. He believed that Claude was the most talented hunter among the people he had ever seen, and with a little training, he would definitely be a great hunter in the southwest.
The most outstanding hunter in the three counties. However, Claude's father, Mr. Morsan, would definitely not let his second son become a hunter, although in Verrico's mind, hunting is the best profession.
Bockard sent a letter two days ago, and Claude took it out to show to Vericro. Bockard said that he would not return to White Deer Town to celebrate the New Year this New Year. His father meant to take the whole family with him.
He went to his aunt's house in Similok County to celebrate the New Year. He expected to return to White Deer Town in late January, and then he would be able to reunite with his friends.
Then the two of them talked about Erikson again. Viricero thought that his return should be before the New Year. Going to sea meant no news. You couldn't send letters on the sea. All they could do was wish Erikson the best.
He and his father were able to return home safely.
Regarding Claude's idleness during this period, Verricro suggested that he might as well take a matchlock gun and go for a walk in the forest area on the southern outskirts of the town. Although a few months ago they set up a series of traps there to capture a lot of pheasants and hares,
But he should have recovered after such a long time. Viriklo thought that Claude should not set any more traps in the past, but should practice shooting to avoid being sloppy.
Claude happily accepted Verricro's proposal. As long as the weather was good and it didn't snow, he would carry a matchlock gun and go to the mounds and forest areas in the southern suburbs of the town to hunt hares and pheasants. If he was lucky, he would sometimes bring home the first prey.
, but more often than not he returns empty-handed.
As the days passed, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the entire land was covered with thick silver. A thick layer of ice began to form on the shores of Lake Beringa, and gradually spread toward the lake.
.At this time, Ericson came back. Their family's ocean-going fishing boat, the Red Sea Shark, towed two very large whales back to Bailu Town.
