87. Accidents
The hunting procession poured like a torrent from the manor along the mountain road to the jungle on the northern slope of Mount Majaro, and then entered the forest full of huge firs and red pines from the main road.
Many aristocratic ladies who could ride horses were also in the procession, and Ying Li and I had no familiar companions, so we could only walk along the forest road.
From a distance, I saw Diego riding a horse in the middle of a group of nobles, this group of nobles seemed to have a lot of female dependents, several young nobles and celebrities rode horses around Diego, constantly looking for topics, but Diego looked very cold, their team of people and horses in front of the leader, led to a fork in the hillside, the hunting team turned a tall fir, and disappeared from our field of vision.
From time to time, roe deer appeared in the forest, and they hid behind the trees and looked at our team curiously, and there were always some nobles who chased them out and disappeared into this mountain woodland.
We rode the argali, up the hillside, and walked a long way along the main road, only to find that there were no other hunters behind us, and then we began to search for prey in the woodland.
Little Ella ran with Becky in front, she rushed directly into a bush with a bow and arrow, causing a nest of pheasants to flutter out of the grass, Ella rode on the back of the argali, and without waiting for the argali, she took out the alloy bow from behind her, and drew a feather arrow and shot it at the golden pheasant flying in mid-air, and the feather arrow flew out with a 'whoosh', grazing the tail feathers of the golden pheasant and flying over, scraping off a few colored feathers.
The feathered arrow was nailed to a stout fir tree, and its tail feathers were still trembling, but it didn't hit the golden pheasant.
Little Ella's face fell, and she grabbed her hair in frustration and shrugged her shoulders at Becky's beside her.
Becky rode the argali, rushed out from Little Ella, pulled out the ironwood bow behind him, and shot an arrow at the golden pheasant that seemed to be a little exhausted a hundred meters away, the golden rooster fell rapidly at the last moment, as if it actively hit Becky's arrow, the steel cluster arrow shot directly through the golden chicken, the golden chicken fell into the woodland, constantly flapping its wings and could no longer fly, with a feather arrow inserted in its body, there was no way to get into the depths of the bushes, and it could only struggle in place.
Little Ella excitedly ran over to pick up the struggling pheasant, pulled out the feather arrow, and quickly tied the chicken feet with rope and hung them upside down on the hook of the saddle.
Seeing little Ella riding an argali, I followed them with Ying Li, this woodland is very large, and soon there is no sign of other teams around us, Ying Li rode on the back of the argali, holding the reins in one hand, quietly following me, she raised her hand and scratched it twice unnaturally.
"Ying Li, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?" I asked with a strange look on my face.
Ying Li turned his head and smiled, and said to me, "I can feel those powers......"
I asked, confused, "What power?"
Ying Li's gaze turned to Helena and Becky, and said to me, "The magic pattern you drew for Helena and Becky has increased their strength, agility, and physique, and I can feel these magical effects as well. ”
“...... Is it the power of the soul link magic contract?" I asked her.
Ying Li nodded and said, "Well, I originally thought that I would have to wait for the two of them to be promoted to second-turn warriors in the future before they could share the magic effect of the magic pattern structure on their bodies, but I didn't expect that they would be able to have their own magic pattern construction before they completed their first transfer, and I was a little uncomfortable with this feeling." ”
According to the introduction of some magic materials, the 'soul contract' can allow the leader to obtain the power of the subordinates, and I didn't feel anything about it after reading this explanation before, but now I know that this kind of legendary contract scroll left over from the war of the gods period is really powerful.
Ying Li asked me, "Ji Jia, didn't you say that a warrior can only draw a magic pattern after the second turn?"
Ying Li and I walked through the woodland and slowly explained to her this companion magic pattern called the 'Gathering Magic Ring', I said: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying this, mainly because I and the Yerkes scholars have discovered a very special kind of magic rune, this kind of magic pattern is called the companion magic pattern, they cannot appear on the magic scroll independently, they can only be attached to a complete magic pattern circle, this kind of accompanying magic pattern has a complex structure, and the attributes are also very special......"
Ying Li listened very carefully and said to me: "I heard that I and the Yerkis scholar planned to design an energy-saving magic lamp, and I thought it was difficult to achieve this, but I didn't expect that the Yerkis scholar was not without a purpose, he published an article in the magic journal said that in the future, there will be a magic pattern structure that does not consume magic crystals in the inscription world of the Green Empire, I thought he was just talking casually, but I didn't expect this thing to be true." ”
I said to Ying Li: "Of course it's true, do you remember the Winter Demon Pattern Decoration Exhibition held by the Imperial Capital Inscription Guild last winter? The twenty-two magic lamps displayed by the Yerkes scholars are magic lamps that can be lit without drawing mana from the magic crystals......
In this way, Ying Li and I walked all the way and chatted all the way.
And little Ella rode argali's joy in this forest, she chased a large injured elk, this elk had more than a dozen feathered arrows stuck in the back of the elk, but these arrow wounds were not fatal, and they didn't even affect the elk's running, seeing the elk quickly climb a huge rock, little Ella rode the argali, desperately chased after it.
Chasing all the way, the elk inexplicably ran to the top of a lonely cliff, Becky chased behind and finally seized the opportunity to shoot an arrow through the elk's skull, the tip of the arrow pierced the back of the elk's head from the elk's neck, it let out a series of screams, and walked forward a few steps before falling down, our group surrounded it, and found that the dead elk weighed hundreds of pounds, such a heavy prey even if it had a magic waist bag, it was somewhat inconvenient to carry, so I directly opened the portal, called out a few orc warriors from Xinliu Valley, and carried the big elk into Xinliu Valley, and the orc warriors cut off the antlers and handed them to Little Ella as a trophy, this elk was given to the orc warriors in Xinliu Valley for lunch.
When we came out of the secluded cliff again, we saw Caterina crouching behind the rocks like a leopard female, watching the woods on the other side of the cliff......
