Chapter 143: Grace
In a small village, a family, they are a couple of farmers, and their children dream of one day being able to go to the far ends of the world to adventure.
But things are not as simple as imagined, the world is full of unpredictable, people simply cannot predict all kinds of risks, unless some people can find the right time to do the right thing.
This is a little girl named Grace, and her story will be wonderful, but before that, dear friend, I tell you, please get ready to listen to me.
Early that morning, she got up and got dressed and ran to open the door. The knock was heavy and lasted for more than a minute, and she hurried to open the door, the sound began to become heavy and staccato, and the dull sound seemed to be like a broken gong calling for a long time.
The little girl's parents went out early in the morning to do farm work, and this is the autumn, the harvest season, which also means more busy.
It wasn't the first day that the little girl Grace was home alone, she didn't get up as early as her parents, and she was usually woken up when her parents got up, but when her parents had packed up and left the house for breakfast, she would fall back into a deep sleep and come to sleep sweetly.
After the annoying knock woke Grace up, Grace had to get up and get dressed to open the door. It could be that the parents forgot something, or it could be that Uncle Tom came back to get it.
On the other side, the distance of running around the Ice Peak Fortress on the city wall is about five hundred meters. During this time, you will have to cross several towers, go up and down some steps and slopes, jump over two broken gaps, and walk over a narrow bridge made of wooden planks.
Gravel left only a plank on this narrow bridge, so care had to be taken when passing through it.
Gravel runs 30 laps a day. Seven days a week, with more to come from the second week.
He calculated that it would take about 1,100 leg steps to run a lap, and that 2,000 steps were possible in the case of particularly tired bodies. He had never been so active in his two lives, and now he was completely addicted. Especially when the sensations of burning in his lungs, lead in his legs, unable to straighten his waist, and unable to open his eyes occurred together, he felt that his body was no longer his own.
But if you think about it, this body is indeed not his own.
"Run, Gravel!
When Thomas was running, his childhood sweetheart was shouting cheers, and Gravel was only beside Gravel with a longbow. This was a fierce and vicious man, and whenever he saw Gravell slow down, he shot an arrow.
Fortunately, there were no arrows attached to the arrows, and in order to prevent fatal injuries, they were wrapped in a cloth bag filled with cotton. But even so, it hurts to shoot an arrow on the body.
Gravel hit every shot, fully revealing his good archery skills, but this was a blow to Gravel's heart. He began to take an S-shaped route, plus make some abrupt changes of direction, trying to dodge long-range strikes. But in this way, the amount of exercise is increased, and it is not considered lazy, and naturally Gravel does not need to shoot. After tossing back and forth a few times, Gravell knew that the best thing to do was to grit his teeth and stick to it.
"Come on Gravel, one more lap is ready to rest!"
There is only one instructor in the Ice Peak Fortress, and when he puts all his energy on tossing one person, the others can be relatively relaxed. Dorado and Brackdon practiced with blunt swords, and they were very measured in their attacks, so they would not have a blue nose and swollen face.
Dorak had finished his basic training four months earlier, and had even completed a demon hunting mission on his own, so Gravel usually left him alone. Because of this, Dorak could lean against the wall, hold a water bladder, and cheer for Gravel loudly.
"Come and drink water, this is a palliative potion for you. ”
Gravel is steaming all over his body, and in early autumn it is a spectacle that can only be seen in winter. The old man forced him to drink up a water bladder immediately after every five laps.
The potion had magical ingredients, so it was hot and painful when it flowed through Gravel's throat. Fortunately, the palliative agent only acts on the body, not the soul, otherwise everyone would have been able to watch the scene of the "exorcism" live.
"Drink more, don't choke, this medicine can eliminate physical fatigue, avoid fatigue from exhaustion, and even lead to organ failure. After you finish drinking, you will stretch, and the potion will also help you relax your body, and you can continue running after a while. "Not only does Dorak have a water bladder, but he also carries a large towel that allows Gravel to wipe his sweat. "Keep it up, and it will definitely get results!"
The results are on the towel. Gravel is a medicine jar, and he has accumulated an unknown number of alchemical toxins in his body for a long time. Through running, and then with the replacement of soothing potions, the sweat he sheds is "rich in alchemy", sticky and slippery like oil. After a few days, although the physical fitness did not increase by leaps and bounds, the withdrawal reaction was significantly weaker.
The advantages of divine magic in terms of healing are very obvious, and alchemical potions cannot have such an effect, at least the formula that Gravel knows cannot eliminate the symptoms of addiction. As long as there is a tangible effect, a sore throat when drinking is not a problem. He just had to be careful not to make strange expressions, everything had to be done according to the man, not the devil.
"Gravel, come here. Gravel, I'll get here today, I'm looking for him. ”
Thompda poked his head out of the window of the room facing the courtyard and explained. Somewhat unhappy, Gravel turned his back to the tower, muttered in a low voice, and walked towards the teenagers who were connected with the swordsmanship. Brakden and Dorado shrank their shoulders, and their hands quickly increased, and they immediately started to fight.
"Go quickly, don't let Lord White Soul wait, and don't forget to return the water bladder to him. Dorak lowered his voice and said, "There's something good tonight: stewed rabbit, don't miss the meal!"
Having lived here for several days, Gravel had never seen any animals in the Icepeak Fortress, so he asked, "Hare?"
"Yes, Dorado's trap caught three rabbits, two squirrels and a chicken. Dorak smiled: "Anyway, it's all together, it's absolutely no problem to call it a rabbit stew." ”
There is no chef at Icepeak Fortress, and everyone will have a dish called "survival in the wild", which is stewed everything together and then added with garlic.
