166. Knights of El City
Standing on a raised rock halfway up the Antian Mountains, we could see the outline of the city of El, which was not a majestic city, but for hundreds of years, it had withstood the countless invasions of the northern barbarians, and it still stood by the mountains after several storms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt was already evening, the clouds in the sky were accumulated, and those white clouds were covered with a layer of golden glow, just at this time, the clouds on the top of the foothill where the magic academy was located dispersed, and a touch of golden light shone down like a pillar of light, we could clearly see the council hall in the center of the city, which represented the highest power center in the city of El, and the magic academy hidden in the dense woods, those magnificent buildings show the heritage of the city.
The huge complex not far away is the location of the temple, no one thought that a secret base full of evil and hell darkness was built on the side of the temple, if any priest can walk in the black pine forest, I am afraid that they can also find the traces left by the hellhound in the forest, until the trace of the hellhound appeared in the city of El, the panicked people were not discovered, it turns out that the root of the bane has been hidden under the halo of the temple, what a great irony.
Looking at the black pine forest like the sea at your feet, the sound of crows chirping came from under your feet, the wind blew, and the rustling of leaves in the forest was like the tide of the sea. Cindy's face flushed as she looked at the scenery in front of her, probably thinking of her home in the small town of Maas. Anne picked Sue up from her back and made her lie comfortably on my back, then looked at me seriously and said to me, "Take her home, I know I really underestimated you before, as a magic apprentice, you are very good, I know you have the ability to protect Sue!"
"Sister!" Su wrote her worry on her face, facing Anne's white face, but she didn't say more, since she knew that she couldn't change Anne's decision, then saying it would only make her feel a heavier burden in her heart, in that case, it would be better not to say it.
"You've decided to go?" I carried Sue on my back, her newly developed breasts were pressed against my back, her heart was beating like a drum, only I knew how nervous Sue was right now, Sue put her pointed chin on my shoulders, a pair of slender little hands around my neck, pitifully watched Anne jump off the rock.
"Sister, be careful!" said Sue in a whisper as Anne left, so small that I heard it a little indistinct as I carried her on my back.
Anne wore the salamander leather armor and ran through the woods like a beating flame.
Smoke rose from the side of the villa, and the mountain road leading to the manor was full of cavalry of the guard regiment, and along the intermittent mountain road between the forests, his eyes continued forward, only to find that a large amount of gravel was piled up in a pass, probably because of those gravel blocking the road, so that the old cavalry of these guard battalions were congested on the mountain road, and the horses in bright armor snorted irritably on the mountain road, and the small beasts in the forest beside the road began to migrate with their families, and those boring knight lords began to poke the knight's spear, and the shield stood aside, and they gathered together in twos and threes to chat and fart。
The knights who had stopped at the front had abandoned their spears and heavy shields, and had only lined up with swords over the jumbled rocks.
I carried Su down the mountain rock cautiously, I think I should be closer to the knights on the mountain road, that is the safest place in Antia Mountain at the moment, put on the gray magic apprentice robes on my body, wear the magic badge issued by the magic academy, slowly tidy up my messy hair, try to make my appearance look clean, only in this way can those knights see my identity clearly, my magician apprenticeship may not be anything in the eyes of others, but as long as I don't leave the circle of the upper class of the city of El, some people always want to give me some face, maybe not because of me, but they will see the people standing behind me, such as Teacher Heidi, the Jerkies Scholars, and the nobles who can be called celebrities in the city of El Fry.
I took Cindy's white little hand with one hand and asked her to be as well-behaved as possible, maybe this would automatically remind people of a certain noble son's personal maid, or a certain noble lady's maid, I held Su's half of her thigh with my hand, and walked down the gentle slope of the mountain, Su's lips were close to my ear, and whispered to me: "Jia, I don't really want to go back to the city, I want to stay and wait for my sister, even if I go back, I can't feel at ease." ”
I said, "Okay!"
Our three twelve or thirteen-year-old children walked in the mountains and forests, it seemed a little strange, at this time, Antian Mountain, has been blocked by a large number of guards battalion knights, as long as the slightest wind and grass is blowing, it will provoke the eyes of patrols, in the deeper part of the mountains and forests, some witchers have withdrawn from here in advance, it seems that the entire high-level of El City and those big nobles who are hidden behind it are very concerned about this operation.
As for why they are working so hard, I think it's probably because those hellhounds have already made the entire El City panic, and those nobles and lords of El City will make such a big move in order to stabilize the situation.
From afar, he saw little Evan standing next to his Gubolai horse, scraping the horse's sweat with a scraper, and he took the trouble to take off the heavy set of hanging armor on the Gubolai horse during such a short break, so that his beloved mount could rest for a while, he secretly took out a handful of black beans from his arms, and quickly wiped them into the horse's mouth, the Gubolai horse was also very clever, eating a mouthful of beans and chewing slowly, as long as someone swept his eyes over, he immediately stopped his mouth, and shook his big head as if nothing happened, until those eyes wandered away, he would continue to chew as if nothing happened。
I walked out of the forest with Cindy, and the first one to approach was little Evan, and I slowly crawled out of the barren meadow with Sue on my back, and before the idle and bored knights had time to call out to the three of us, I took the lead in shouting sweetly to little Evan: "Little Evan!"
This shout made the knights, who were a little bored, sigh and return to their own circle, no longer having any interest in the three of us.
When the companions who were familiar with little Evan saw me coming, they approached little Evan and asked him with a smile, "Oh, Evan, do you know that student from the Academy of Magic?"
"It's my neighbor, his name is Jijia, a magic apprentice at the Academy of Magic, and his father Ryan is a swordsmanship instructor at Stans Academy, and I heard that he also has a very good Western sword skills, but in comparison, magic is more suitable for him!" Little Evan introduced me like a treasure, I never thought that this young boy, who usually doesn't talk much, would have such a delicate mind and know a lot about me.
"Are you chasing other people's sisters again, why are you so familiar with their family?" The companions on the side asked with a smile, but there is no doubt that Little Evan's words completely dispelled the last doubts of these knights, to a magic apprentice like me, there are only thirty or so in the entire El City, no one would think that a new magic apprentice will have anything to do with that manor, and the magic apprentice naturally needs to hide under the powerful wings of those magic teachers in the magic academy, and no one dares to provoke the magic apprentices rashly, and those magic teachers with strange personalities are simply unreasonable.
Little Evan scratched his head and said, "At that time, I really wanted to learn Western rappier!
"Our Evan is a top student in the swordsman class of the War College, I didn't expect to be so humble when I was a child!" a young man next to him put his arm around Evan's shoulder and said, little Evan blushed, he was not as cheeky as his companions, and broke free of his arm,
Little Evan is an honest child, he has a good temper and is very polite to people, he saw me carrying Sue on his back, and hurriedly ran over to hold my hand, and asked me with concern: "Jijia, why did you come here with Sue?"
Obviously, the news of Sue becoming a priest's apprentice has not yet officially spread in the streets, and few people know about Su's going to the temple to become a priest's apprentice.
In this way, it made little Evan think that I was reckless and ran out with Sue to play, I smiled and said to little Evan: "It's Sue who is curious here, and wants to come here to have a look, but I didn't expect to get lost in the woods, fortunately I met Brother Evan!
"It's not very safe, don't run away, I have a mission now and can't leave, send you back to the city, you follow me first, stay aside and don't make trouble, don't run blind, I'll send you two little ones home when the mission is over!" Little Evan said to me with a smile as he pressed my hair.
What Sue and I were waiting for was Xiao Er saying this, so that we could stay justifiably, and Su and I looked at each other, with pride and joy in our eyes.
"The relationship between the two of you is still so good!" little Evan walked as the scales of his armor rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound, like the sound of grinding teeth.
We followed little Evan back to where he was, he laid a blanket on the side of the road, sat Su and I sat on it, and brought out milk tea to entertain us. The cavalry has milk tea as a portable drink in the standard configuration, which is probably made by mixing milk powder and ground tea leaves, but the only trouble is that you need to pick up some branches and boil a pot of boiling water, milk tea has many benefits, it can be more helpful to digest meat food, quench thirst, and can also satisfy hunger when necessary, and easy to carry.
Naturally, I won't let little Evan entertain me in vain, and I still have a few Gathering Fire scrolls in my magic fanny pack, which are quick and easy to open when the horse team stops for a short break, and then set up a simple shelf to boil a pot of boiling water and make a bowl of fragrant milk tea. My skillful movements almost made little Evan look stupid, he never thought that anyone could have the luxury of using a magic scroll as a firewood to boil water.
"This ...... This is...... Magic scrolls?" he asked me.
I replied, "Hah! This is the most basic scroll!"
"You usually bring things to boil water?" Evan was a little envious of me, it seemed that the life of a magic apprentice was not bad.
I pressed the corners of the scroll with pebbles to prevent the scroll from rolling up on its own, and watched the red flames burn, and the magic pattern circle on the parchment flowed freely, and I said to him, "It's not worth a few bucks, these little scrolls are made of some magic parchment scraps, and the ink is the cheapest magic ink, well, and most importantly - I! can draw!"
I pulled out the rest of the scrolls and stuffed them into little Evan.
The upright little Evan was naturally a little stunned, he seemed to have received a gift-style bribe for the first time in his life, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but his companion on the side helped him put away the bundle of scrolls very skillfully and quietly, and took out a scroll from it and stuffed it into his arms, and came to my side very diligently, and said to me: "I don't know how to use this thing, how can I use this?"
I looked up at him, he was very burly, with an angular face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose, and when he smiled, his eyes were squinted together, and there were a lot of crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He couldn't squat down in a steel armor, so he could only lean down and look at the pot curiously, the milk tea in it had already risen a thick layer of white foam at this time, and the strong fragrance had floated out, I pointed to the kettle on his waist, he smiled and handed it to me, I poured him a cup of milk tea in the pot......
This Evangel's companion untied his milk tea bag very interestingly, poured a bag of milk tea into the pot, and poured some water again. Let the pot continue to boil the milk tea.
I took the scroll in his hand and unfolded it in the wind, and a strong flame burst out, startling him. I quickly rolled the scroll up again, and the flames disappeared all at once, and then I looked at him and asked, "How's it going, isn't it easy?"
"It's really simple, the life of a magician is really wonderful, with this thing, the march in the wilderness doesn't seem so terrifying!" said Evango's companion as he opened and closed the scroll in his hand a dozen times, exclaiming. "Why didn't you know that there was such a good thing in the magic shop before, how much does this thing cost?"
"Twenty silver, maybe it will be cheaper in the future!" I said with a smile.
Evan on the side looked at the bundle of magic scrolls in his hand and said in surprise: "It's so expensive!"
Brother Evan's companion didn't care about Evan's reaction, and just muttered to us: "This guy is the head of elm! If there is anything that can be helped, just say, we can't do it, I'd rather show this old face and beg our captain, and help you do it, of course I know you won't make too difficult of our request!"
"Of course, I just hope that when you big brother encircles the manor for a while, you can see that my sister can take care of her in private, and you don't need to release her, as long as she is not injured, I will ask the teachers in the academy to solve the rest of the matter, as long as people are not injured and are not wronged!" I poured out some milk tea and handed it to Sue who was sitting on the blanket, and then squinted at Brother Evan's companion.
"Your sister?" asked Evan's companion, a little puzzled.
"Well, she and her classmates went to the manor to watch the excitement and leave us here, but I think they may suffer, since they meet acquaintances in the guard barracks, it may have an unexpected effect!" I said to him.
A few of us got together to chat, and then the knights around smelled the fragrance of milk tea, in fact, I just added a little salt and a little honey to it, but I didn't expect the fragrance to spread directly, so that the knights who stopped on this road smelled a faint fragrance, and then these knights who were a little bored after a long wait gathered along the fragrance......
Then some people began to praise me for making milk tea, and Su and I quickly integrated into the Knights, at least they knew that there were two interesting children who made milk tea very sweet, and spoke very nicely, and were very polite, and the poor girl with the broken leg was still waiting for her sister, who would have ventured into the manor to fight for her life if it wasn't forced by life! It is said that there are herds of Cerberus locked up there......
After another period of time, my pot once again burst into white foam, but unfortunately, at the same moment, the horn sounded, and those knights immediately picked up the teacups, even if they didn't finish the milk tea, they had to pour it into their mouths and forcibly drink it, and then get ready to go, as for the milk tea, it was still a little too hot, and those who couldn't drink it would decisively pour the milk tea, it seems that the military discipline of the knights is not as bad as imagined!
I was thinking to myself. (To be continued.) )
