Chapter 167: To live is to practice
While Jarrow was away, someone visited the dormitory compound.
The other party was a middle-aged knight, and when he arrived on a white horse, both men and horses were too tired: "May I ask if Lord Jia Luo lives here?" ”
It was Xiu who came out to greet him: "Uncle, Jia Luo does live here, but... He went out, and was afraid he wouldn't be back until after dark. Don't talk about this, uncle will come first to drink saliva! ”
After some understanding, Xiu knew the other party's intention. The middle-aged knight is from Hogburg and has been ordered by the lord of the castle to come and find Jarrow.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about Hogburg first, this castle is very close to the Gran Forest, if it weren't for the natural barrier of the Jedi "Misty Swamp", it would have been targeted by monsters long ago, after all, Sonic (the Horde) is on the edge of the forest.
Affected by the Misty Swamp, Hogburg has been shrouded in fog for many years, which has seriously affected people's daily lives.
I came to ask Jarrow for help, not to deal with any monster, but to ask him to improve the environment.
During the Battle of the Fortress Defense, Jarrow shined and successfully dragged the supreme commander of the Goblin Army to death, in the eyes of most people, eighty percent was because he was a black magic envoy, after all, the disparity in strength was too great.
Afterwards, he was awarded the title of royal knight, and no one dared to beat him (among the adventurers), at most he was disgusted and excluded.
The young castle lord is young and promising, he doesn't care about Jarrow's rumors, the reason why he can take a fancy to Jarrow... There's only one, and that's Jarrow's [Mist Technique] is very interesting.
It stands to reason that the dispelling of the fog should be done by the priest and the charmer, but the fog is too weird, even if it is successfully purified, it only takes a short time for a new fog to be generated!
Would you like to ask the High Priest for help? Please, but unfortunately it doesn't work!
Why don't you just move the people in the castle en masse? I tried, but due to the fog, ordinary people couldn't get out of the castle!
In a word.. No matter what it is, we must clear the fog that gets in the way, and even if we can't clear it, we must let the people live a normal life!
Ordinary means: It didn't work, so the young castle lord had the mentality of trying. Please come to Jarrow!
The area around Hogburg is too harsh, basically isolated from the outside world, the magic train can't arrive, and no caravan dares to come!
If you take a long detour to Kao City, it will take at least a month, and the journey will be dangerous. The other route is much safer, passing through two dangerous mountains to reach the city of Táchira...
After five days and five nights, the middle-aged knight was already exhausted, so he had to rush back to recover his life, handed over the letter to Xiu, fed the horse with forage, and left in a hurry.
Xiu didn't open the letter, and the knight had just left, and he stayed in the room: Hogburg? Let Jarrow go alone?
With Jarrow's temperament, for the sake of money, he should take this job. Just listened to the knight's story, how could Xiu let him go alone!
Xiu was bored in the room, not looking up Hogburg materials, let alone studying anything, just writing a diary.
That's right, he's keeping a diary. If he had written it himself, he would not have had to take so much time: "Killer bee, yesterday... You've got the pen in your hands, today... You have to write! ”
In order not to disappoint Xiu, Killer Bee worked hard and did not complete the task until it was dark.
After putting the tired killer bee into the box, Xiu sat in a daze. It wasn't until Jarrow came back that he came to his senses...
Charles was already asleep, looking at the night outside the window, Xiu was in a trance: "I ran all the way to get 32 silver?" Not enough, just this little money.. How to spend enough! ”
"Fortunately, the equipment has been repaired, as long as the matter of the little wolf is solved, I believe... I almost forgot, and fireworks! ”
The team is getting bigger and bigger, and as the captain, Xiu is very worried, and he doesn't know where to go in the future: it is said that... All the dark magic envoys are very vicious, but the Jarrow I know... Not that kind of person!
There must be some misunderstanding in this!
Black magic? I'm sorry, I don't see anything special about black magic, if I have to say it, it's just a little scary, but as long as I watch it for a long time, it's actually nothing, I really don't understand why people say that like that!
Speaking of.. Now that he's a royal knight, he's going to leave the squad sooner or later, and when the time comes... What am I going to do? Let him go? Or let him stay?
When he first learned that Jarrow had become a royal knight, Xiu had a special understanding: Alas, we are all newcomers, why can't we always keep up with him?
Whenever he thinks of the scene of his first meeting with Jarrow, Xiu has a lot of questions: he is very different from everyone else! The man who came out of the tower.. Which one is not confused?
Only him, only his eyes without a trace of uneasiness! Jarrow, who the hell are you?
After two months of getting along for a short time, Xiu understands very well that Jia Luo is by no means an idle person: no, if I don't work harder, I'm afraid I really can't keep you, I have to... It's just, alas, after all this time, why haven't the hands and feet been good?
Charles and Alice have devoted themselves to cultivation, and as long as Red Lotus settles down the fireworks, she will inevitably resume her cultivation, but he... No way!
In addition to reading books and training killer bees, what can be done. I can only chat and dance with Granny Jane: this feeling is very bad, it seems that I have to go to the tutor!
That letter. What should I do? Do you want to give it to Jarrow? No, there's no rush on this matter, I'll talk about it in the first half of a month...
After another night of meditation with Blue, Jarrow could clearly feel the increase in his magic: yes, this is the feeling!
Although it can't be compared with Abby and Buck, the gap is gradually narrowing, if this momentum continues, within half a month, Jarrow will have the confidence to fight with Buck!
In the duel outside the city that day, Jarrow felt that something was wrong afterwards: although that guy was not a D-class, he was at least the best among the trainees! This kind of person: Why do you keep staring at me? Just because... Did I embarrass him once? No, twice, right?
With the living treasure of Blue, how dare Jarrow say goodbye, after calming down, he is thinking about the future: one day in a year, the little wolf should die, and I must stop this from happening!
If possible, I'd love to confine him to the city! By the way, using the status of a royal knight, this should not be difficult to do, but you still have to think again!
There is no urgency in this matter, in Jarrow's opinion, there is one thing that must be prepared quickly: I am promoted to D-class, and that guy (Buck) should know about it soon, what should I do?
It stands to reason that with Gollum in hand, Dover is a powerful killer feature, and there is a mysterious "baby", Jarrow shouldn't have been so unconfident, but... Whenever he remembered the powerful killing moves that Buck didn't perform, he grimaced.
To this day, he knows very well how strong Buck is: it must be at least Tier 1 magic, maybe Tier 2, and now I... I can't confront him head-on, what if he does? Avoiding war?
No, I've just been promoted to D-rank, and if I retreat, I'll be ridiculed... Don't mention it for the time being, I'm afraid it will be used by many people to make a fuss afterwards!
How to say.. I'm the face of the squad, and I can't bring unnecessary trouble to the squad, so that's it. Make an appointment with him? Practicing hard before the appointed time comes?
No, no, the gap between me and him.. It's not just the difference in magic power, it's also about combat experience!
After yesterday's written test, Jarrow has indeed gained a lot of knowledge, but after all, it is only theoretically feasible, and can only be used as a reference.
In addition to the ability to escape, Jarrow's physical reaction is very average, if he faces Buck like this, he will definitely lose badly!
After thinking about it, he came up with a solution: special training, I need special training! Not to mention practicing the reaction to be as good as the red lotus, at least you have to get by!
Of course, meditation can't be left behind, it's just... Who to turn to? Red Lotus?
After looking at the girls' dormitory and confirming that Honglian's room was still dark, Jia Luo wanted to get up and stretched his arms: "Blue, you are like this.. Is it cultivation? Well? Why did my mother-in-law wake up so early? Oh, so I went to get breakfast! ”
Ah Xiang was sent very early today, and seeing that she was tired every time, Jia Luo didn't go downstairs to say hello.
Watching her leave from afar, Jarrow fell into deep thought: just the little work of the guild is not enough, you have to think of a way to make money as soon as possible!
Let me think, what are my strengths? By the way, I'm a black magic envoy, so use black magic to make money! Engraved runes?
No, theoretically.. I know more than 20 kinds of procedures, but I still do... I've only practiced six and I'm not proficient yet, this shouldn't work, or else.. Can you open a shop to make magic items?
But how do you make it? materials for those things.. It's going to cost a lot of money, where am I going.. Oh, by the way, now that I've been promoted to D-class, it's time to contact Misha!
Closing the door, and as soon as he took out the card hidden under the bed, Jarrow heard Misha's message: "Congratulations! Being able to be promoted to D rank in such a short period of time, you really didn't disappoint me! I'm relieved to leave that to you! ”
"Something concrete. Meet and talk, if you have time, you might as well come to the newspaper point in the southern district to find me! ”
Oh? It's only been a day, and she knows? Looks like she's in a bit more anxious than I thought, so I can't let her down!
A newspaper spot in the Southern District? Where does she work?
Well.. It just so happens that I'm going to buy Magic Weekly the day after tomorrow, so I'll go back the day after tomorrow!
Wait, she took a fancy to my ability to do black magic, but I haven't learned the magic foundation yet, so let's make up for it today!
"Yo, good morning! Jarrow, last night.. What did you do? Look at you like this, should it be again. Hiding somewhere, cultivating secretly, right? ”
Charles, who had just finished washing up early, was about to go out for a run: "Well, I spent the night on the rooftop!" Charles, you're almost in good health, but you can't figure yourself out too much."
"I understand, then I'll come when I go, I'll see you later!"
Some people say that life in another world can be wonderful every day, but in fact, no matter where you are, life is like that. When you open your eyes, you still have to do what you have to do.
Most adventurers are either picking up jobs or preparing for them, and such a boring thing is not what Jarrow yearns for!
In this regard, he doesn't ask for anything, he just hopes that he can be lazy before doing things.
"Mother-in-law, good morning! Hey? You do morning exercises, why do you still hold a fan? ”
