Addicted to learning and unable to extricate himself, this is the most suitable sentence to describe the current state of Gaudus.

This wasn't because Gaudus really loved learning, but because the original owner of the body was an avid lover of magic.

In the old necromancer's laboratory, he rarely had access to any graphic materials, and when the old fellow really decided to teach him about the [undead] ability, he tried his best to learn, breaking and chewing every letter of every sentence.

Later, when he learned [Skeleton Expulsion], he was even more blue, and improved on the original basis, that is, [Domination Skeleton].

It can be said that the original Gao Duos was a guy with strong concentration and enthusiasm for learning, and he also had extremely high talents, and this also affected the current Gao Duos.

As the pages of the book passed, time flew by, the early morning sun shone through the window, the room became bright, and Alice opened her eyes.

This night, she slept soundly.

She turned her head and looked at Gadoth, who was obsessed with learning, and wanted to say hello, but finally held back. She quickly dressed, fetched a basin of water in the large tank in the courtyard of the hotel, and returned to her room.

It was only after he had finished reading the first chapter that he closed the book. In the game, the ability learning book is just a consumable, just click to use and then hang up, you can learn the ability after 8-24 hours. In this world, if you want to gain ability, you must either study carefully or sincerely ask for advice and study, and there will never be a one-click package meeting.

And just now, he saw a message swipe in front of his eyes:

[The book you are reading: "Earth Elemental Foundations". 】

[Reading Progress: 7 %.] 】

"Do you need to wash your face?" Alice asked, seeing Gaurdos close the page.

Gao Duos shook his head and said, "No, you can wash it." ”

As a half-dead, there's another benefit... A lot less metabolism. No matter how tired he is, he doesn't sweat.

Alice washed her face, washed away the sweat stains on her face, revealing her supple skin that was white and red. After washing with clean water, her complexion is much better now.

"When are we leaving?" Alice asked.

"When you're well, we'll be able to go." Gaudus replied.

Alice shook her head and said, "I'm fine." ”

"You're just recovering from a serious illness, and you're not clean yet."

Alice was a little unhappy, jumped on the spot several times, like a female man, and said stubbornly: "Look, I can run and jump, it's really fine." ”

Gao Duos smiled, walked up to her, touched her forehead, and said, "Look, it's still a little hot." ”

Alice was about to say something, but Gados gently pressed her shoulder, pressed her back into her seat, and said gently, "I understand, you just don't want to delay my trip, do you?" Actually, it doesn't matter, even if it's a few days late, it's okay, your thorough recovery is the most important thing. ”

Alice, who was told to break her heart, was stunned at first, and the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she couldn't help but smile, but immediately turned her head away, and didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of Gao Duos. She seemed to be hiding her careful thoughts, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "Where is it for you?" I'm really just sick and don't want to be bored in this little room. ”

Is that really the case? Although Alice said this, the corners of her mouth curved slightly seemed to betray her true heart, and she looked angry, but she seemed to be very happy.

What's wrong with her?

Women are really complex creatures, Gaudos thought to himself.

In this way, at the insistence of Gaudos, the two stayed in Sindh for another two days, and Alice consolidated the treatment and was completely cured.

I have to say that a healthy body and a good mood are the source of a woman's beauty, and Gao Duosi obviously feels that Alice's beauty is increasing day by day, not only because he has been chatting with her for the past two days, and she often has a moving smile on her face, but also because the root of the disease has been cured, her complexion has improved a lot, and the whole person has become warm and sunny, and her every move is elegant and natural, which is fascinating.

This was both a good thing and a bad thing, and Gaudus had to buy her an old hooded coat. In the game, the appearance of the character and the simulation fine-tuning according to the player's appearance often occur when NPCs harass female players, and this can also be copied to this world.

In the next month to two years, the entire continent of Acacia will be plunged into chaos, various kingdoms, principalities and kingdoms will be conquered against each other, and everyone will tear off the veil of civilization, and beauty, something that everyone desires and possesses, will become the original sin of women.

Now that Alice is cured, it's time to go.

As he was packing, he saw Alice sitting on a stool, holding a sketchpad in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, drawing something. Perhaps because Alice was bored during the two days she was recuperating, she asked Gaudus to buy her a pair of painting tools, and then she used her free time to paint something.

"Draw what?"

Gados walked up to Alice and looked curiously at the sketchpad in her hand, but Alice immediately buried the sketchpad in her chest, she held it with one hand, pushed Gadoth away with the other, and said, "Don't look at it, it's nothing to see." ”

"It's time to go."

Alice glanced at the drawing on the board, then took Gaudos's hand and begged, "Give me a minute, okay?" ”

Gaudos nodded, and walked away. In fact, even if Alice doesn't say it, he knows that the painting is nothing more than her family, friends, or Joan of Arc who impresses people with her invincible attitude, and in the end, there is a very small probability that it is herself.

Alice added a few crucial strokes to her painting, closed the board, and followed Gados out of the hotel.

Gadorus put a hood on Alice, tucked her hair into the hat one by one, pulled the brim down, and admonished, "Remember, don't let anyone see you." ”

Alice nodded, clutching her sketchpad and following closely behind Gadoth.

Passing by the stables, Gaudus bought an old Savoy bantam for two gold coins, which was not too expensive, since the country of Savoy did not even have a decent horse ranch. The conscientious horse dealer was also equipped with a full set of horse equipment, including a saddle, bridle, whip, and horseshoe, albeit old.

At this time, a group of heavily armed soldiers, led by a knight, passed through the street, and Gauldos pulled the reins to get out of the way.

Looking at the flag in the hands of the leading soldiers, Gaudus was a little surprised... The pattern of this flag seemed familiar to him......

The pure black background, the dark gold eagle flying high, this pattern... It should be the banner of Count Titus's family: the Golden Eagle Banner.

That's right, the appearance of the Golden Eagle Banner means that a member of the Titus family is mixed in with this group of soldiers, but... How could a member of the noble Titus family end up in such a remote place as Sindh?

Wait a minute...

The year is the year 1232 of the sacred calendar.

In 1232...

In 1232...

This year happens to be the year of the beginning of chaos!

Yes, following the [Shadow of Death] set off by the legendary necromancer Sandru, in this year, the largest melee on the continent of Acacia kicked off, and the symbol was the [Savoy Rebellion].

Savoy is the country where Gaurdos is currently located, and Count Titus is the supreme ruler of the country of Savoy. In the same year, Count Titus died of illness, and then his three most talented sons died inexplicably, and the other two sons fought against each other for the title.

This group of professional soldiers holding the Golden Eagle banner appeared here, is it... Was it the chips that some ambitious little Titus added for himself in order to compete for the position of earl?

Gaudus smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Alice watched the group of soldiers disappear at the end of the street and suddenly asked, "Is there going to be a war?" ”

Gao Duos was a little surprised, turned his head, and looked at Alice with a nervous face: "Why do you ask that?" ”

Alice shook her head and said, "It could be... Gut feeling? I always felt that such a soldier should not have appeared in such a remote place. ”

Gaudos nodded, thinking that the girl's instincts were unusually accurate.

"A lot of people will die in a war, right?"

"Of course."

Alice bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and then asked:

"That's... Are we going to die? ”

Gaudus was stunned for a moment and replied, "No." ”

Although Gauldos spoke lightly, Alice was still nervous, and she added: "When I was in the village a few days ago, I saw a pair of armor and a great sword in the coffin of Sister Joan of Arc, and I thought that she must have been a great swordsman in her lifetime. ”

"Well, yes."

"Even a great swordsman like Sister Joan of Arc will die protecting the village, and when there is a war in the future, I may die, and someone may die because of me."

"If you think too much, neither you nor I will die, because I will protect you."

Alice shook her head resolutely and said, "I want to be like Sister Joan of Arc." ”

"What did you say?"

Looking at Gao Duos's surprised expression, Alice's eyes became firm, and she replied word by word:

"I said, I want to be like Joan of Arc."

"Why?" Gaudus couldn't help but ask.

Alice thought for a moment and replied softly, "I don't want to be like yesterday, like a burden, I can only stand behind you, but I can't do anything." ”

"I hope that in the future, it's not just you who protect me, but... I can help you. ”
