Towards the end of winter, the weather is cold. The small half-pot of fried melon seeds was spread out on the screen in front of the kitchen door, and Luna came over early with a bench, staring and waiting.

As Qin Song, who won the championship in the dormitory melon seed competition, he was also a little impatient.

It's not a filling, but it's a great way to pass the time.

While waiting, Qin Song simply mentioned poor Alan, Luna, a kind girl, who was indignant and deeply sympathetic when she heard that those hateful guys treated a child so cruelly.

"The injured leg is completely fixed, and it's really a troublesome thing. Luna held her cheek in one hand and blew on the melon seeds, "But I don't think it's completely impossible." ”

"Tell me about it. Qin Song twisted a slightly warm melon seed, peeled off the crisp shell, and put the kernel in the palm of his hand to keep.

"Qin, do you remember your right-hand man, what is his name Hala or something? His legs were smashed to pieces by the orc centurion with a hammer, and it took me a whole afternoon of hard work to make him barely recover, but he also rested for several days before he could walk on the ground. ”

"Harald, yes. His legs are recovering well. Qin Song nodded: "Go on." ”

"Can we repeat the process?"

"Repeat?"

"That's right!" Luna blinked her eyes, and began to peel melon seeds in her hand, following Qin Song's example: "After many verifications, the role of the Fengmao elf on old injuries is limited. But what if it's a new injury? I mean, he can't use both legs anyway. Why don't we just beat it up, or cut it off, and then use the rich elves, will we give birth to new legs?"

"There are ideas. ”

It's a fact that Allen's legs are scrapped, and dragging them down is not an option. Luna's proposal is bold and sounds manipulative.

"But I haven't tried. Luna's patience was not very good, she only peeled three or four grains and couldn't wait to put them in her mouth, the peculiar crispy texture, the salty flavor brought by her mouth, made her expression stretch: "It's really delicious, it feels very special." ”

The melon seeds boiled with salt and spices are flavorful, and the sand is evenly fried, and the water is evaporated, both in taste and taste, which are very close to the melon seeds in the previous life.

"Try it if you haven't tried it, it's called not breaking and not standing. ”

"If you don't break it, you can't stand it?"

"Since it's in ruins, let's smash it completely, and maybe build a new house. Well, that's probably what it means. Qin Song explained with a smile that he used the lingua franca of the world, which probably means that there is no establishment without destruction, but there is no conciseness of 'no destruction and no standing' in Chinese.

"Not now, though. That kid is too weak and needs to recuperate for a while. Otherwise, if we go down with a few knives, it is estimated that the Fengmao goblin will not be able to hold on before it takes effect. ”

"I'm not guaranteed success. ”

Eating melon seeds is addictive, and when Luna tastes a different kind of delicious taste on her lips and teeth, she begins to lose control of it, completely forgetting the way to eat it, peeling one off and throwing one into her mouth, so that the wonderful texture and taste continue to exist in her mouth.

"The worst-case scenario is to grow legs like the one you used to have. Qin Song patiently accumulated twenty or thirty melon seeds and stretched them out in front of Luna: "Come, stretch out your hand." ”

"Hey, thanks. Luna was not polite, she took it with a sweet smile, took a deep breath, and took a breath full of ritual.

Rattle, rattle, salty and fragrant.

It's like the feeling just now is instantly magnified dozens of times, and the pleasure of accumulating taste buds is detonated at one time, bringing an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"Is it delicious?" Qin Song picked up the melon seeds and put them directly in his mouth, while biting the shell, the salty flavor on the skin of the melon seeds was not wasted.

That's right, that's the classic way to eat.

Feeling the texture and taste that he had not seen for a long time, Qin Song suddenly felt a little satisfied.

All along, he has faced too many unknowns, too many powerful existences, and rarely calms down to feel the beauty of life.

A few simple melon seeds made him feel the relief he had not seen for a long time.

"I'm going to give Tim a little as a reward for his work today. ”

When the seeds were dry, Luna stood up and grabbed two large handfuls and stuffed them into her pocket, and filled them with a small cloth bag. Usually Luna always likes to bully Tim, but it's just a unique expression of brother and sister affection, and when she has good things, she thinks of sharing them as soon as she wants.

"Take the rest with you. Alice, they're going to love it, too. Luna tilted her head, a smile on her face, "I've learned it all." By the way, about that poor child, I'll take the time to check it out. There's still an experiment left to be done today. ”

"Hmm. "One-eighteen

Qin Song nodded, watched Luna leave happily, and then packed the remaining melon seeds into a bag and left the test field with a smile.

From the moment Luna realized the method of hybrid crops, he was completely relieved, and any ideas for crops in the future could be given to Luna.

......

"Kobraunko, is that the Blackstone Collar's defense?"

In front of the valley pass adjacent to Cesar, a group of knights stopped at the horse. The female knight at the head was handsome, with flowing blond hair, golden eyes that shone like the sun and a smile as sharp as a blade.

She wore a golden crown on her head, light armor of pale gold, high boots in pitch black, and a long cape of white satin. On the chest of the tunic is embroidered with gold thread a roaring golden lion, the symbol of the royal family of the Kingdom of Tia. He wore a wide-brimmed gold belt and diamond-encrusted clasp around his waist, and a heavy gold cross around his neck.

Koblanko, who was wearing a golden mask, was a big step behind, but he couldn't take his eyes off her. That kind of natural kingly demeanor is by no means something that can be formed overnight.

"Yes, Your Highness. Those strange fortresses are the lines of defense that Blackstone Collar has built. Kobraunko replied respectfully, whether it was his bloodline or his position in the church, the princess in front of him was the presence he looked up to, even though he was also worshiped and respected as an inquisitor.

"What are they defending?"

"It's supposed to be an orc. Our troops withdrew, and the clogged valley was cleared by a barely passable mountain road. Their only enemies, I suppose, are orcs. ”

The eldest princess of the kingdom of Tia, the Templar of the church, and the beloved disciple of the Messenger of Mercy, Vanessa Reinhardt, the Holy Spirit not only gave her great power, but also gave her a transcendent temperament, and the golden pupils in her eyes were like the scorching sun, radiant and radiant, and her vision easily crossed the wilderness and captured many details of the defensive line.

The strange fortress made of red stone, the soldiers with long black iron rods on their backs, and the strange contraptions made of steel on the tall gray fortress.

All of this made her feel strange.

Nothing like it ever appeared in the three holy texts of the church, the canon, the holy scriptures, and the Book of Genesis, and all she saw was a distorted, weird, disgusting vision of hell.

She had also seen countless pagans and their evil gods perform bloody rituals.

However, there are only weirdness here.

There are also fluttering flags—flags made of eyeballs and tentacles, fluttering above the gray fortress, braving the cold wind and making the sound of hunting.

"That's all?" The tone did not have the slightest contempt, on the contrary, her brow furrowed rarely, war does not lie, defeat does not lie, the mysterious nightmare god, she did not dare to despise it in the slightest.

"It's not what we saw when we beat us, it should have been built up recently. These heretics, apparently, thought they had captured the town of Daotan. ”

"Isn't it?" Vanessa smiled at herself, the Holy Spirit Knight and the Templar failed one after another, and she had no choice but to quit Daotantown, which was a fact.

Kobranko didn't speak, but his eyes under the mask showed a bit of shame.

"If you are too cautious, you will not pay enough attention to the timing, and you will miss the opportunity. But if you underestimate it too much, you will not pay enough attention to strength and will be caught off guard. The Holy Spirit gives us not only strength, honor, and will, but also wisdom. Where poverty, mercy, and happiness are least valued, evil will always prevail. ”

"The southern frontier is only superficially prosperous under the administration of the Duke of Ceylon. Waterdeep sings and dances, but in this land, the mercy of the Holy Spirit has been abandoned by him, how can he curb the breeding of evil. ”

"The struggle for power, the hypocritical mercy. Vanessa's tone was flat, but with an indescribable sarcasm: "Let evil gain a foothold in the Blackstone Collar and spread to Daotan Town." ”

"Your Highness, this year's orc offensive is fierce, and many territories are short of food. I've heard that Blackstone is still forced to pay taxes, and that the waste consul of Daotan, Poldut, is a descendant of the Duke of Ceylon, and he has made the entire Daotan Town a miasma, so that evil can take advantage of it. ”

"It doesn't matter anymore. Vanessa shook her head: "Only true mercy can remove evil and wash away shame." Koblanco. ”

"In. ”

Vanessa held a golden-wound whip in her hand: "Send an emissary to the Blackstone Collar and tell her that I want to see her." ”

"This ......" Kobraunko hesitated, "for what reason?"

"Didn't they ask for a ransom?" Vanessa smiled at the corner of her mouth, and her pure white cloak waved in the wind, "The merciful Holy Spirit will not reject a lost child." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange. ”

"How's the orc going?" Vanessa's gaze moved away from the line of defense, landing on the edge of the boundless forest in the distance.

"They are more powerful and more active at the edge of the forest. If my guess is correct, they will attack in the next few days. ”

"So there's a good show coming up?"
