Chapter Twenty-Three: On the Road
"Miranda, don't do these rough jobs in the future!"
When Phil and Miranda return to the caravan, Miranda is scolded by a white-haired old woman. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Phil bent down and saluted the other party, took the fragrant fox that Miranda was carrying, and walked to the side, as if he didn't hear the other party.
"It's not rough work, it's a knight's daily training." Miranda, however, had no scruples.
The white-haired old woman was of short stature, sitting in a tall carriage and carrying a large cane that was almost higher than her. Hearing Miranda's words, the old woman sneered: "Knight? I have a hundred knights under my hands, but it's just my experimental junk. ”
"Can those knights still be called knights, Master?" Miranda said unceremoniously, "I've been training as a knight since I was a child, and your shoddy 'knights' can be compared?" ”
"Shut up!" The old woman angrily slammed her crutches hard, and the big cane struck the carriage so hard that it was like a mountain falling.
Phil was the closest person to the white-haired old woman except Miranda, and this feeling was even more profound, and a wave of air blew and spread, and a strong wind blew in his face, and the horse pulling the cart startled "Herod" to raise his front hooves.
Phil could barely open his eyes, and the cross sword slammed into the ground, and Phil held the handle of the sword so that it was not blown down by the strong wind.
Phil is like this as a knight, not to mention that many of the people in the back are ordinary human bodies, falling to the ground one by one, and scattering everything on the ground.
And in the entire dense forest, a circle of air waves spread rapidly, like a layer of ripples, with the white-haired old woman as the center, and the beasts, birds, and reptiles within hundreds of meters did not dare to make a sound. Except for the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, the surrounding dense forest was silent.
With a casual blow, it is so powerful.
The white-haired old woman is an official wizard, the guardian wizard of Phil's gang.
Miranda was at the forefront, bearing the wrath of a full-fledged wizard, but not flinching or retreating.
"I'm not your student, Master Elaine, and my way of practicing has to be taught by my teacher himself." Miranda added an accent to the word "teacher".
When Wizard Elaine heard Miranda's words, his expression changed for a while, and finally he squinted at Miranda: "Okay, I don't care, I don't care about anything." With that, he turned and walked into the carriage, which was still safe and sound after being struck by her.
Miranda glanced at the back of Wizard Elaine leaving, and without saying a word, walked silently to the small lake next to the camp.
Phil turned around and handed the two fragrant foxes that had fallen to the ground to an escort knight who had just gotten up, and the other party took them respectfully, and hurriedly ran away to help Phil dispose of the corpse of the fragrant fox.
This escort knight is exactly what Miranda said about the "shoddy" knight, and the whole team is guarded by such knights, and they also heard the conversation between Miranda and Elaine Wizard, but now they are slowly busy as if they didn't hear it.
Phil walked to the lake next to the camp, in a corner away from the crowd.
"Here we go." Miranda glanced at him, smiling, and it seemed that her mood was not affected in the slightest.
"It's better to go out less in the future, and you will be scolded again." Phil said.
"You don't have to worry about this," Miranda walked up to Phil, "she can't control me yet, she's so afraid of my teacher, if I have three longs and two shorts, she should be worried!" ”
"You don't need to worry, we people are miserable." Phil said. Miranda's teacher is said to be a senior wizard in the academy, and ordinary wizards have to salute when they see it, and I don't know why Miranda is so lucky, but he was accepted as a student after seeing him.
"So you have to work hard!" Miranda drew her broadsword, "Train well, sooner or later, you'll be able to subdue that old witch!" ”
"Although it is impossible to beat Elaine Wizard with knight training, it is still necessary to work hard!" Phil also drew his cross sword, "So, here I go!" ”
Calming his breath a little, Phil began to train as a knight.
During this time, Miranda's voice kept ringing -
"Wrong, this sword is a little down!"
"It's still wrong, what are you doing with so much stab!"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! The angle is wrong! ”
"Stupid, is this how the sword comes out here?"
……
Since going to the academy with the same team as Miranda, Phil's intimacy with her has been increasing day by day, but the next day, after an official competition with Phil, Miranda is in charge of Phil's knight training, correcting Phil's movements every day.
After the knight Miranda demonstrated an accurate knight training to Phil, after the analysis and recording of the cactus chip, Phil was basically able to master it himself.
However, when Miranda wanted to continue to help him with his knight training, for some reason, Phil did not refuse, but made a little mistake from time to time in training.
It took a while for the knight training to end with Miranda's "You stupid brain, continue tomorrow" epilogue.
Miranda finds a place to train on her own, while Phil stays where she is.
Gathering his mind, Phil cultivated the unfamiliar Wind Breaking Step again, and this time it was not so "easy".
Now Phil's wind-breaking steps will always make mistakes, and a few times out of ten casts are successful, if you either pinch the blood or mess up the pace, even if you succeed once in a while, it will not eliminate the wind, and the interference is great
。 Therefore, when hunting Xianghu before, it was mostly due to luck to be able to perform a complete wind-breaking step.
But no, it's not no, just continue to cultivate, although it looks very clumsy, but Phil can see his progress, and he won't give up his efforts.
Practicing the wind-breaking step, and familiarizing myself with the three stages of Aalto's stabs, occasionally the two come together, and soon the night is late.
Phil walked back to the camp, and the escort knight who had previously taken the corpse of Xianghu immediately sent a copy of Xianghu's barbecue, Elaine Wizard and Miranda's share had already been delivered, and the rest was Phil's.
As for the fur of the fragrant fox is still being processed, after asking Miranda, she decided to make two fragrant fox coats, which must be designed and made by a master dresser, and the work of these escort knights is only to be well preserved.
What Phil didn't know was that after he left, a figure walked out of a bush not far from the cultivation ground.
It was Thomas, who followed Miranda to choose the Black Sotalla Academy.
"Damn, the two of them are getting stronger......"
Thomas chose the Black Cell Tower Academy, and naturally he was also in the team, and he watched Phil and Miranda chatting and hunting for the past few days, and kept thinking about the scene when he was beaten to the ground by Miranda.
If you want to catch up with them, do you also have to have the strength of a formal knight?
Thomas pondered, stood up after a long time, and walked back into the shadows.
At midnight, Phil sat in his private tent, lit the Illumination, and then pored over Dante's wizarding notes.
Some of the horsemen outside slept in tents, some in wagons, and a few kept vigil around campfires in the distance.
Such a convoy does not have to worry about robbers in the dense forest, they are only responsible for preventing the beasts of the night from entering the convoy and disturbing the noble lords.
It's a very easy task, as the rubbish left over from Wizard Elaine's experiments is scattered around the camp, and the terrifying aura is enough to keep most of the nocturnal beasts and birds away.
So this kind of work is also boring, the body of the rough knight can't withstand the exhaustion, and despite the strong spirit, he gradually closes his eyes for some reason, and falls asleep on the ground one by one.
Phil didn't know what was going on outside, and since deciding not to use the mystical meditation method given by Wizard Dante, Phil had more time to study the things written in the wizard's notes at night, mainly learning Byronic language and tricks, and now he has slowly made a lot of progress.
"Click......"
In the quiet of the night, there was a faint sound, like the sound of some hard object breaking and rubbing.
"Click, click......"
The sound grew louder and louder, and it grew louder.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was a terrible scream, followed by the sound of the various escort knights getting up and moving, and the screams of shouting and screaming increased.
If it was just an ordinary beast invasion, the knights would only solve it quietly, and would never dare to disturb it more, but now that the camp is suddenly noisy, it should be a situation that cannot be dealt with.
Phil got up, put away his notes, and quickly put on his leather armor and brought his sword and bow and arrows.
When I lifted the curtain of the tent, there was already a mess outside.
Dark figures leaped out of the darkness of the jungle and pounced on the unsuspecting Escort Knights, their speed swift and stealthy as they caught people off guard.
The Guardian Knight was able to defend effectively at first, but as the Black Shadow accelerated its attack, it didn't take long for it to break through countless openings.
Dozens of preparatory wizard apprentices of the Black Wizard Tower Academy also came out, and most of them who dared to choose the Dark Wizard Academy had a little ability, and no one escaped, rushing out one by one with their own weapons to help the escort knights guard the camp.
Phil immediately saw Miranda's fiery figure in the forefront, a big sword waving to repel one black shadow after another, which was very eye-catching.
Phil also saw a guy in purple and gold armor, it was Thomas, who was eavesdropping on the other party's speech on the ship, but Thomas was holding a knight's spear in his hand, the spear danced vigorously, and he was not weak, not much better than those crude knights.
Although the rest of the preparatory students are not too impressive, their strength is really good and can help a lot.
The rest of the Guardian Knights are the main force, but they are only knights who have been forced by the wizard to induce the seeds of life, and their physical fitness is far inferior to that of the regular knights, but they all rush to the front and bear the strongest firepower.
Phil flipped into the nearest carriage, reached out and grabbed it, and reached the top of the carriage.
Unleashed his bow and arrows, took his bow, took aim, and a dark shadow about to knock down a knight was pinned to a large tree.
Phil had seen what those dark shadows were.
The wolf, a rare carnivore in the dense forest, hunts in a group, runs extremely fast, can borrow the power of darkness to hide itself in the dark night, and its favorite food is the fragrant fox, and has the ability to find the dark fragrance left by the fragrant fox.
Phil stood in the carriage, supporting the crowd from a distance, but his shoulder wound was not healed, and his bow and arrows were limited, and he was quickly depleted.
But those wolves still came like a tide, and they didn't stop, as if they didn't want to die.
As a last resort, Phil jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward for melee combat, and at the last moment, he glanced at the center of the camp.
It was Elaine's tent, and for now, only there was silence.
