Chapter Forty-Eight: Return to the Snow
Black Wasteland, Homecoming. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was just a gloomy weather, but at noon the wind blew violently, and the temperature plummeted, and even in the carriage it was a little cold.
The wind swept the sand and stones all over the sky, and the carriage was extremely difficult, but fortunately, the horse pulling the carriage was not an ordinary horse, it was a good breed that had been transformed by wizards, and it was able to barely move forward.
But Thomas decided to take a break. If this continues, not only people will be hurt, but so will horses.
The two wagons soon reached a hollow where they could take a little shelter from the wind and sand.
When Phil woke up, he saw Thomas crouching in the shelter between the two carriages, cooking.
"What a coincidence, as soon as it was cooked, you woke up. Thomas brought a bowl to Phil.
Phil looked at the bowl of thick green hot soup, like the poison made by a witch in the novel, but after taking a sip, he found that the hot soup was very sweet, nourishing the lungs and throat, and the whole person was much more relaxed, and even the headache was reduced a little.
In a few moments, Phil drank the entire bowl.
Thomas served Phil another bowl, and he drank it elegantly himself: "This is made of sand hol, I have only read about it in books, and I did not expect to meet it in this black wasteland." ”
He had a satisfied smile on his face, completely different from what he had been before.
"The tea you brew is not as good as this. Phil said, his voice a little hoarse, but he was in good spirits.
"Of course. Thomas smiled at him, and Phil was overjoyed to see him.
Phil was not in good spirits, drank the hot soup, sat down for a while, and then lay down and continued to rest.
In the afternoon the wind had subsided, and the group continued on their way, and in the evening they were camped at the foot of a low hill.
When Phil wakes up, the sun is setting for the last of its rays.
Outside the carriage was only Margaret and Edward, and Thomas was nowhere to be seen.
Margaret was asked, and Thomas went hunting.
Phil was still a little strange, their knights were not short of food, they all had reserves in the carriage, and besides, the meat of the Bone Bird was also edible.
Phil was fully able to move at this point, and although he still had some headaches, he was completely out of the way. Helping to gather firewood, after a while, Thomas returned with a large bag in tow.
Phil asked him why he had to take such a risk to go out hunting, and the carriage had food in it.
Thomas asked him, "Are the things in the carriage eaten by people?" and I won't put up with those things anymore!", and he threw the grain in the carriage out of the way.
The Bone Bird......
"Bone Bird?" Thomas almost shouted, "Don't give any more opinions, Phil, you're so badly wounded that you have to eat something that people eat." ”
Thomas then opened what he had hunted—not only beasts, but all kinds of grass—and then he was alone around the campfire, and ordered no one to help.
An hour later, a table appeared in the middle of the camp, which Thomas had cut directly to the side, and it was full of hot food, cooked and roasted, and three kinds of hot soup, and Thomas even went too far to ask Margaret and Edward to help make some ice cream desserts.
"You're welcome. "These are the results of my travels as a young man." ”
Margaret let out a loud cry first, and unladylike took a piece of meat into her mouth, followed by Edward. Phil had no expression on his face, but he was a little faster.
"Hey, that, are you having dinner?" Adolf woke up at some point, leaned out, and said with a pale face, "Can you add me a share?"
After dinner, late at night, Phil and Thomas kept vigil.
The two sat around the campfire, the light of the fire flickering.
On a night like this, his thoughts are easy to fly, and Phil thinks a lot, about the Great Fireball Technique, Dante's notes, as well as the gains of this mission, and the gains and losses of several battles...... Phil always cherished his time to study, and even if he was injured, he didn't want to stop moving forward, and now he was slowly getting stronger, but compared to his efforts, none of this was surprising.
"Phil, have you seen Miranda lately?"
Phil looked up and saw Thomas asking him with a serious face.
Phil shook his head.
Thomas was silent for a while, and then asked, "I know that Miranda's teacher is the wizard of Moses, and you also learned the fireball technique from him, is the wizard of Moses very powerful?"
Apparently Thomas had been paying attention to the whole process when Phil unleashed his witchcraft last night.
"Even Wizard Elaine is very respectful to him, don't you think?" said Phil, "I saw him alone when I went to buy the Fireball Spell, and the mere hint of his breath accidentally gave me hallucinations. ”
To this day, Phil is also able to determine why he saw the sea of fire behind the wizard Moses at that time.
"If I didn't have a teacher, would I never have been able to surpass Miranda?" Thomas asked Phil as if to say to himself.
Phil looked at him, he wasn't in the right place tonight.
Thomas didn't wait for Phil's answer.
"Phil, I remember the first time I saw you, you were a waiter. Thomas waited for a moment and said, "I didn't expect you to be like this." ”
Following his words, Phil also began to recall that at the beginning, in just a few months, his vision and strength were completely different. I still remember that I realized that I was very likely to return to the ordinary world, and I was planning to find the path of wizards on my own, but now I feel very naïve when I think about it.
"How did you and Miranda meet?" asked Thomas, "and your relationship was so good soon after you got off the ship." ”
"I don't know. ”
"I'll catch up with you soon, no matter how good you are. I will be able to catch up with you, too. ”
In the firelight, Thomas's expression was dim.
There was a hint of movement in the tent next to it, and after a while, Edward and Margaret came out for vigil, replacing Phil and Thomas.
The next day, the wind was still strong, but in order to get back to the academy as soon as possible, they decided to move on.
Thomas reverted to his noble son, and did not help everyone with breakfast, but they saw that the food that had been thrown out was back in the carriage.
Adolf sat in front of the carriage with a pale face, he liked to see the black moor sand and stones flying in the sky under the strong wind, but Edward got back into the carriage, he was actually a little afraid of the cold. Thomas and Margaret took possession of a carriage and kissed me and me unscrupulously, all as usual.
Phil sat in front of the carriage and drove, watching the long journey home in front of him, without saying a word.
Sail in the wind until the evening when the sun sets.
Suddenly there was silence between heaven and earth, there was no wind, no sound, only the sound of the wheels turning.
Finally back.
Looking up, I saw the outline of the castle and the dim lights of the time, and heard the voices of people in my ears.
"Miranda, are you there?"
A familiar voice came from the carriage.
Miranda leaned on the carriage, a slender leg dangling outside the car: "Ah, it's here." ”
There was a sparse sound in the carriage, and a head wrapped in a blanket poked out of the curtain, and the owner of the head looked at the castle a few hundred meters away, and immediately retracted his head again.
"Miranda, it's so far away!"
"What's such a distance!" Miranda knocked impatiently on the carriage behind her, "You guy, is it necessary to be so afraid of the cold?"
"Hmph, it's Lord Ben's delicate body that is not disturbed by the cold wind, you stupid and rough don't know what it means to be graceful and pitiful!"
"What do you mean!" Miranda was almost on the verge of going berserk.
"That means there's no way a boy like you would be interested!" the people in the carriage laughed a few times, as if deliberately trying to make Miranda angry.
"Bastard, you little girl just can't clean up!" Miranda instructed the carriage to follow the group in front of her, and reflexively slipped into the carriage.
After a while, all kinds of strange noises were immediately heard from the carriage.
……
While the two were fighting, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the castle.
"Miranda, Tia, here we are. A man walked down from the carriage in front of him, and he had to come over and knock on the carriage when he saw the movement behind him.
After a while, Miranda and Tia stepped out of the carriage.
Miranda was fine, Tia was wrapped in a blanket, her face was flushed, and her beautiful face looked at her with pity.
But Tia's next words undermined such pity.
"Hurry, hurry, let's go in, I'm cold. She jumped slightly, her boots on the horse's back, and turned to fly, her black hair slipping from the blanket, but her posture was extremely beautiful, like a butterfly fluttering on the head of a flower.
Miranda helplessly watched her quickly walk into the castle, shaking her head and not caring about her, Miranda didn't want to enter the castle so quickly, in fact, she preferred the colder weather.
"I'm finally back, thank you this time, Senior Moke. Miranda said to the boy in front of her.
"It's nothing, after all, it was requested by Master Moses himself, and I don't dare to have any accidents. Moke said modestly.
"Actually, I want to ask, is this the case with every mission?" Miranda sat down, "It took almost a month to go around and around, starting with catching the Scythe Ghost, tracking it down to the wasteland, and then from the wasteland to the Endless Forest. ”
"Basically, if it's not for those novices, we will choose a relatively long mission, and if we earn enough magic stones for a mission, then we can stay in the academy for a long time to study. "Master Moses said that you have just recovered from your injuries, and you can fully regain your strength by doing such a task." ”
After a few more words, Moko turned around and went back to the castle, he was the captain of this mission, and there was a lot to deal with.
Miranda didn't want to go back so quickly, so she rolled over and sat on the top of the carriage, watching the cold night.
As midnight approached, and it was getting colder outside the silent castle, Miranda sat motionless on it, like a sculpture.
"Miranda, come in and let's go take a shower together!" Tia shouted as she came out at the door.
Miranda waved her hand, not wanting to leave her alone. At this moment, the sound of a carriage moving was suddenly heard in the distance.
Who will come back at such a late hour?
Two carriages gradually appeared in Miranda's eyes.
The driver in the first carriage suddenly looked up at Miranda on the top of the carriage.
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
Miranda suddenly felt a chill on her cheeks and looked up.
It turned out to be snowing.
