Chapter 1: The End of Winter
Carlos was satisfied with inspecting his squad of apprentice knights.
No matter what their strength is, at least these people are very spiritual.
Completely different from the night watchman or the night watchman, these people have been trained by knights and cultivated by knights, which makes them have an awe-inspiring temperament in them.
Carlos was a little curious about this change in temperament, so in addition to learning knowledge, alchemy and puppet training every day, he found time to accompany his team of apprentice knights in the back mountain, and received Maclean's teaching together to complete simple knightly training.
Life is very fulfilling.
In these days, time passed, Carlos's alchemical progress was obvious, and his body was stronger than before, no longer as thin as a girl before.
In the course of these painstaking effortsβ
For the first time, I was truly aware of the laws of space that I had perceived, which was the reward of exploring alchemy day and night;
There is also the experience of completely refining a mid-level alchemy through the alchemy circle for the first time, and the alchemy truth of the equivalent exchange with space has been personally verified with reasonable alchemy.
There was also the excitement of releasing the spatial teleportation technique for the first time with the power of the law, even if this first teleportation technique only made him move a distance of one or two meters to the front.
However, what made Carlos even happier was that the efficiency of the transformation of the dark qi in his body had become faster with the comprehension of the laws of space, and he believed that in half a year at most, he could completely use the dark qi for his own use, and at the same time he could get rid of the damn unequal contract signed with the witch.
Carlos's efforts, as a teacher, Du Buyi completely saw it.
The speed of progress in this student's alchemy also made the old man admire in his heart.
Because of the continuous knight training every day, Carlos's body is getting stronger and stronger, and the absorption of dark qi and the comprehension of the laws of space make Carlos's whole person quietly undergo some kind of change, which is different from ordinary people, it is the charm change that is shown when the power contained in the body is emanated from the inside out.
These changes surprised everyone including the dwarf Maclean, the old groom, and Grant.
They call it the ability temperament.
Time flies, at the end of the year 203 of the Imperial Light Calendar, the Black Iron Dwarven tribe did not blindly attack the administrative region of Eastern Cyprus after the annexation of Western Cyprus, and the Loya Avenue on the east-west border was firmly controlled by the rebuilt Black Stone Fortress.
This news finally made the residents of the East Cyprus Administrative Region feel a little warm in the cold winter.
The snow is still heavy this year in the Northwest, and most of the residents in the town of Yanjing are bounty hunters who have been withdrawn from the Droni Mountains.
Because the heavy snow has blocked the exit of the mountain range, those who do not come out of the mountain range will be trapped in the deep mountains, and they will die without life.
In the backyard of the Stevenson House.
Carlos, who had been back in the Stevenson family mansion for half a month, quietly watched the snowflakes floating outside, from goose feathers to small snowflakes, and the melting of ice and snow was close at hand.
Grant was kicked out of the shed by his horse, presumably because he hated the old man sleeping on a haystack and preventing the horses from eating.
Carlos smiled and beckoned Uncle Grant, who was wallowing in the snow, to sit down on his broken chaise longue, covered with thick and soft wolf fur.
Grant cracked his mouth and showed his yellow teeth, did not overstep, patted his ass and went to the mansion to greet the servants left behind, and prepared a warm winter soup for the little young master to ward off the cold.
Sitting under the leeward porch, Carlos took a sip of the fresh soup with thin egg drops on it, which was very fragrant and heartwarming, and then took another sip, there was no food in his stomach, and after drinking a whole bowl, his stomach clanged as soon as he moved, like a big animal that had just drunk water, wiped his mouth contentedly, put down the bowl Carlos continued to look up at the sky, it seemed that the snowflakes were smaller again.
Grant knew that the young master was waiting for the snow to stop.
Damn the snowflakes, it has been raining for a full winter, and it hasn't stopped much, and God also has a time to breathe, but in the bitter cold land in the northwest of the Yuguang Empire, this is a very common thing.
Carlos looked at the hazy sky, the snow fluttering, and suddenly asked, "Uncle, after the Rodney Mountains were closed in winter, have you ever seen anyone come out of the mountains alive?"
Grant's face was expressionless, "Little young master, unless you are a strong person above the rank of general, you can bury yourself in the thick snow layer and maintain your body temperature, and no one else can survive this cold day alive in the Rodney Mountains." β
"What about the monsters and aliens in the mountains? β
Grant hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because they don't believe in the god of light or God, their true god will bless them in that dense forest, and they can survive even in winter." β
Carlos was dumbfounded, this was nonsense, but from the old horseman's words, he did feel what it was like to be trapped in the Deloni Mountains in winter.
Carlos remembers a book called "The Quest for Ice and Snow Creatures" about how those creatures survived the cold.
Wild beasts will hibernate or migrate before winter, and Warcraft will store food and stay warm in groups, while hunters who are lost in the mountains before the winter closure will either starve to death because they can't find food, or the food they want to hunt is much stronger than themselves, so they will either starve to death, or finally the hunters will become a sweet hibernation snack for Warcraft.
The three brothers, Anderson and the Hunter, would probably have died like this, or had been dead for a long time.
Carlos looked at the snow outside, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
The trainee knight squad was taken out for training by the dwarf McLean instructor, and even on a snowy day, the team of fifty people could not escape Maclean's torture.
The hard training every day, rain or shine, has brought earth-shaking changes to this group of people in the past five months.
For the dwarf McLean, Carlos had privately expressed his gratitude, but the foreign Knight of Light politely refused, saying that he had taken what he deserved, and that he had received enough money, so he was just doing what he had to do.
McLean's performance gave Carlos a new appreciation for the dedication and honesty of the dwarves.
Carlos looked at the Ice and Snow Wanderer, and a servant ran into the backyard and said: "The Night Watchman caught a few people coming out of the Rodney Mountains outside the town, some people suspect that this is the appearance of the awakened monster disguised as a human, and the Night Watchman is going to hang them on the gallows or burn them to death with fire, so they sent someone to ask the young master about his choice." β
Carlos plucked out his ears and asked in an almost incredulous tone, "How many people were arrested and what do they look like?"
The servant was startled by Carlos's eyes, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what it looks like, but I heard that it looks like three or four people." β
Hearing this, Grant put down the forage that was being fed into the horse's mouth, and exclaimed in surprise: "How can a five-star swordsman with three guys who are not even bounty hunters get out of the snow-covered Droni Mountains alive, this is simply impossible." β
