Chapter 45: Warm Fragrance in Hands
Roy returned to the small building, and just walked down the stairs to the corner between the second and third floors, he saw a slender figure sitting quietly on the stairs with his chin in his hands in the dim light. ļ¼ļ¼
"Carol?" Roy stood still, a little surprised.
Kyrol is Sally's daughter. Because Sally and Hans had recently married in a chapel not far from the manor, Cerrol officially became Hans's stepdaughter.
In the entire estate, Carol is perhaps the least of the people in the estate.
Her mother, Sally, was gentle, kind, and industrious, and was in charge of all the maids in the manor, taking care of the little white building where the master lived and the annex where the maids and servants lived next to it, as well as all the affairs of the kitchen and garden.
And Kell's stepfather, Hans, is now also a respected sergeant captain and spends his days in the city. After work in the evening, he returned to the manor, changed into shabby overalls, trained the horses, fed the horses, and repaired the stables and horse farm railings.
Because of Hans's humility and high prestige among the Bollabels, everyone in the manor liked him very much.
In particular, the children of some peasant families and servants cheered to meet him at the gate of the manor as soon as they saw him on horseback on the road down the hill. And every time, Hans's candy pocket never disappointed them.
For Hans and Sally to meet and fall in love in such troubled times, everyone is sincerely happy for the two of them. However, as with many families who look happy on the outside, there is a small problem with this newly formed family.
That's Sally's daughter, Kylor.
Carol is a year younger than Roy and has a beautiful appearance. She inherited all the virtues of her mother Sally, and was more attractive than Sally, who was famous for her beauty in her hometown when she was young.
Since moving into the manor, Cairol's daily job is to take care of the few horses on the manor.
There are a total of twelve horses in the estate. Hans had a yellow six-year-old Feltsburg horse, which he had bought for five gold langs. Although he is not a famous horse, he is docile and obedient, and his steps are light, making him a very good horse to ride.
The horses of several Momiji knights are also fed here. It was four tall, majestic black Chartay horses. The most dishonest people in the stables are these energetic guys. Only their owners can make them honest.
Of the remaining seven horses, two Andalusian horses were used by Roy and Malt on their daily outings. There were also two Tregna horses for pulling carriages and three ploughing and pulling wagon heavy horses, which had just been bought.
On the manor, Carol is like an invisible man. She spends much more time with the horses than with people every day.
Whether it's during working hours or meal time, people rarely see Cairol. This charming maiden is always out of sight, either looking out the window in her attic room or talking to the horses in the stables.
She was almost never seen in the living room or on the hillside of the backyard where everyone loved to chill out, and occasionally one could see her lonely figure in the quiet grove or orchard of the manor when the sun had completely sunk into the horizon.
She lived so quietly. In the words of a grandmother who had been scared half dead by coming out of the woods at night, she was like a ghost.
And as everyone lived together longer, the people in the manor got to know Kyrol better. Everyone knows that this girl is far from being as calm as she seems.
Her personality resembles that of her father, who committed suicide because he lost his belongings in a gamble. On the surface, he is quiet, but in fact he is extreme and rebellious, likes to pursue excitement and treats worldly morality as nothing, like a fire, with danger in his bones. ...,
Moreover, the environment in which she lived since she was a child gave her a strict sense of insecurity.
As she grew older, she became more beautiful than her mother, and began to arm and protect herself in various ways.
She had been a thief and a swindler, and at the age of fifteen she would lift up her skirt in the slums to reveal a pair of slender pairs, seducing some passing travelers and luring them into remote alleys for her accomplices to rob.
This independent and rebellious personality makes her seem out of place in this manor. She was restless as fire, cold as ice.
No matter who she faced, her beautiful green eyes always flashed with a vigilant and cold light, like a little wild cat, arching her back, her hair standing on end, and her saber rattling in the face of anyone's approach, whether good or otherwise.
Long before coming to the estate, Carol was notoriously fierce in the slums. No one should think of provoking this quiet-looking girl, even the sisters who are as spicy as Sister Xiaolan have to admit that Carol is far more dangerous than them.
When he first arrived in Muni City, Carol once kicked a thug who tried to tease him to the point of almost losing his fertility. At that time, if it weren't for the help of Hans, who was a sergeant, and spent a lot of money, I am afraid that the matter would not have been settled.
Roy and Carol haven't known each other for long and haven't spent much time together.
Perhaps because Roy had saved his mother Sally, Kyrol was not indifferent to him. But out of ten sentences, she will only answer one or two sentences at most. And it's all "um" and "um" and so on.
When he came back today, Roy didn't see Carol again. Even when everyone on the estate poured out to see the freshly bought slaves, she was nowhere to be seen. Unexpectedly, she was sitting here, and she was obviously waiting for herself.
"What's wrong?" asked as Roy sat down beside her as she looked slightly pale in the dim light.
Carol hugged her knees, and looked at Roy with a pair of dark green eyes like a cat, her eyes were complicated, as if she was struggling with something.
Roy waited quietly.
After a long time, Cairol asked, "Young Master Roy, did you cure that knight?"
Roy had a headache: "Kyrol, don't call me young master." ā
The title of the young master was led by several red leaf knights. Since discovering that even several Red Leaf Knight Lords respectfully called Roy a young master, everyone seemed to feel that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to treat Roy as a former handyman.
Especially after Roy bought the manor and became the owner of the manor, it goes without saying that Grandet and a group of slave servants shouted the young master easily, and even the former residents of Polabel such as Aunt Sally and Uncle Bohikin naturally changed their tunes.
The only thing that makes Roy thankful is that at least Daddy Ken and Hans are still the same as before. Of course, apart from them, Mai'er is not called a young master. When she is unhappy, she is called "dead head", and when she is happy, she is called "master" with silky eyes.
The one who can't stand it the most is her!
"Really, young master. "Carol seems nervous about the issue. She ignored Roy's words and asked, her eyes sparkling in the dimly lit hallway.
"Hmm. Yes. Roy nodded helplessly and straightened his legs.
Hearing Roy's answer, Carol's hand silently clenched the corner of her skirt, and her eyes struggled even more. It seems to be expecting something, but it seems to be scared and hesitating.
"Young Master, can you heal knights" Kairol bit her lip and said nervously, "Then can you heal a magician?"
"Magician?" Roy was stunned, looking at Carol in confusion.
Carol didn't speak, just slowly stretched out her hand. ...,
With a fluctuation of magic on the tips of her delicate, white fingers. A spark bloomed silently.
"Magic awakens!" Roy's eyes widened, and he said in surprise.
Having known Carol for so long, he never knew that Carol was also a magic awakener.
There are so few people in this world who have the gift of magic. Because of its rarity, not only magicians are regarded as treasures, but even those magicians who can't break through the magic barrier and change careers can also get unimaginable wealth and status for ordinary people!
For a girl living in poverty and living in extreme insecurity, there is nothing more fortunate than a gift of magic.
With such talent, Cairol can apply for training camp. The training camp has no time limit for precious magic students, and she can still take the exam even after the admission day has passed.
As long as she becomes a student of magic, she doesn't have to be a cheater thief, she doesn't have to open her skirt to lure her prey, she can get what she wants - whether it's to protect herself or to give her mother Sally a good life.
"Why didn't you say it earlier," Roy Huoran stood up, but soon, he realized the problem. He looked at the silent, pale Carol with some confusion and asked, "You just asked me if I could heal the magician, you"
"That's all I'm going to do. Cairol looked at Roy, a pair of charming green eyes, full of grievances and pain: "Young master, can you help me." ā
This may be the first time that Kyrol has shown a look other than indifference in front of others, and it is also the first time that she has taken the initiative to say that she wants to be helped. At this moment, she was as weak and helpless as a little hedgehog with spikes off her body.
"Only this?" Roy looked at the girl's helpless eyes, and Roy was a little distressed, "What's going on?"
"My perception is very poor," Cairol said with her head down, "because I can't sense the elements, I can't arrange the elemental array." Except for the most basic Seven Elemental Array, as long as the Elemental Array is a little more complicated, I can't do it. ā
Roy looked at Carol in a daze, speechless for a moment.
The perception of the elements is like a human eye to any magician.
If you don't have eyes, you can't see the environment clearly, and you will be in great trouble whether you are walking or doing things. The same goes for magicians. Without perception, you can't perceive the elements, and naturally you can't arrange an elemental array to release magic.
But the blind man still has ears, noses, hands and feet. It also relies on the senses of hearing, smell and touch to perceive the surroundings. And if a magician doesn't have sentience, it's almost equivalent to a death sentence for the magic path!
Roy had heard of countless Awakened people staying in place forever because they couldn't break through the barrier, but he had never heard of this happening to Carol.
Looking at the lonely expression on Carol's beautiful face, Roy asked, "When did Carol find out about awakening?"
"Eight years old. Carol said softly, a twinkle of tears in her eyes.
Roy was a little sad and sat down next to Carol.
Having a gift for magic was a huge turning point in her life, both for Carol and for her family. However, the timing of this appearance was extremely cruel for Carol.
When Carol was seven years old, her father committed suicide because he lost all his family fortune, and if her magical talent had awakened sooner, or if her father had had an accident later, Carol's life might have been different.
In addition to this, the deficit in perception is too cruel for this girl.
If you can't perceive the elements, you can't cast magic. The precious magical talent would not bring her and her mother any benefit. They still live in the slums, still wearing shabby clothes, eating hard-to-swallow rye bread and saving even candles. ...,
My mother was still harassed and frightened by different people. And she still suffers from the eyes and ridicule of her peers, and she can only hang out with crooks and thieves, breaking jars and breaking pots.
It's like Heaven giving a cornucopia to a poor man who is destitute, but not allowing him to get any wealth from it. This kind of pain is even more maddening than having nothing.
By now, Roy fully understood why Carol was always like a ghost away from the crowd, often staying alone in the attic, in the stables, or in the woods, and not communicating with anyone. Because, ordinary people, simply can't understand the pain she endured.
At the same time, he could fully imagine how much Carol wanted his help when he heard that he had cured Karenic's vindictiveness.
Roy was silent, a little sad.
He was unable to treat Carol. Perception is the use of mental power, which is completely different from the fighting spirit of a knight. That's a problem he is completely incapable of solving. But he knew that as soon as such words were spoken, the blow to Carol would be fatal.
The two sat quietly on the stairs.
As the minutes passed, the hope in Carol's eyes gradually dimmed with Roy's silent face, turning into dead ashes.
The girl slowly stood up and walked downstairs step by step.
"Wait. Roy suddenly exclaimed.
Although he couldn't solve the problem of Kairol's perception at the root, he came up with an idea to let Kyrol release his magic as well.
Unlike Carol, who has extremely poor perception, Roy is completely at the other extreme when it comes to elemental perception.
Ordinary second-order Langxing mages, although their magic power is sufficient, their perception is not enough to support them to complete the elemental array of seventh-order magic. And Roy could see the elements with his eyes alone.
That's why he's completely unrestricted by his perception and can unleash seventh-level magic. It is also for this reason that makes him the only person in this world who can help Carol.
You must know that when a magician releases magic, the elements that are controlled by magic are exclusive. No one magician can perceive or control another magician's elemental array.
This feature avoids the possibility of mages interfering with the opponent's elemental alignment during close combat, and also prevents them from helping another mage's elemental array alignment training.
But Roy is different.
Although he couldn't interfere with the other party, his eyes could allow him to see the situation of the magic elemental array that the other party was about to release. This meant that he could know exactly what Kyrol had gone wrong when arranging the elemental array, and he could help her correct it.
And Carol's current situation is not completely devoid of perception.
It can be seen from the fact that she can release the Seven Elements Basic Circle, her problem is that her perception is weak and she is unable to release more advanced magic. But all the magic is arranged by the Seven Elements Basic Circle. From fireballs to forbidden spells. The difference is only the number and method of combining the Seven Elements Circle.
Practice makes perfect.
Just as many blind people are able to move freely around their familiar rooms and find exactly what is in the room, as long as Kyrol is adept at the fixed arrangement of the elemental arrays, she will be able to unleash her magic.
This method, although a bit stupid, is currently the only way to solve the Carol problem.
Moreover, every magician knows that when the elemental array of a magic is practiced repeatedly, an instinct will be formed. They practice all kinds of auxiliary spells and gestures diligently every day, because only subconscious alignment can they release magic faster.
In the world of magic, this is called the Consciousness Array, commonly known as blind typing..., hearing Roy's voice, Cairol paused and slowly turned his head. There was still no sparkle in the green eyes.
Roy stood up and said to her, "Come with me to the real room." ā
Going up to the third floor, Roy retreated from the door of the real yĆ n room, turned sideways to let Kyrol in, and closed the door.
Because I usually meditate here, I am afraid of being disturbed, and there is a certain danger when doing magic, so the room has been specially reinforced. Even the door was half a foot thick, and it was extremely heavy. As soon as you close it, the whole world seems to be cut off.
Maybe it's the isolation of space, the breath between each other can be heard, and they are all at the age when the love of young Ai is gradually opening, and the atmosphere suddenly seems a little abnormal.
Dressed in a white dress, Carol stood quietly in the center of the room looking at Roy, her face somewhat flustered, silently flushed with an imperceptible faint pink. And Roy, who closed the door and turned back, met the girl's gaze, which was also a little unnatural.
"Ahem," Roy coughed, hesitating, "Kyrol, I need to check your magic." ā
"Oh. Carol nodded.
The two of them looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, and for a long time, Roy helplessly stretched out his hand and said with some embarrassment: "Give me your hand." ā
Cairol bit her lip and stretched out her delicate, white hand and placed it in Roy's palm, looking at him with a pair of dark green eyes without blinking.
When the hands of the two touched, Roy felt the girl's gentle and delicate hands, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and his face was feverish. On the contrary, Cerrol looked a little better, and with only a slight tremor of her hand, she lay quietly in Roy's palm and did not move.
"That," Roy said, "I'll use my magic and perception to probe your magic, uh, get started." ā
The corners of Carol's mouth, unconsciously, evoked a long-lost smile. Roy's clumsiness is ridiculous, and for some reason, makes her feel relatable and reassured.
She had done seductive things, and she knew what kind of faces those people were in front of her. But Roy is different from everyone else. His face is redder than his own!
Cerrol looked at Roy intently, her eyes gradually drawn to the serious and focused Roy. Looking at the face that was not handsome, but far more manly than his peers, he suddenly panicked inexplicably, and his heart jumped suddenly.
And at this time, Roy's perception, with a trace of magic, also entered Carol's body, and went all the way down the body.
Carol bit her lip hard.
At this moment, Roy was completely immersed in the exploration of Carol's magic. In his concept, Carol's body is like a magic scroll, and all his spirit is focused on probing the magic power in the magic pattern, and he can't help but stretch forward.
But this little bastard didn't expect that Kairol was not a magic pattern scroll, but a lively girl.
For Carol, it was a death break.
A girl's body, invaded by a man's perception, was even more embarrassing to her than being naked* exposed to Roy. After all, naked* only reveals appearance, and Roy's probing penetrates deep into the most secret places in her body.
And Roy's magic and perception brought an indescribable feeling when they traveled along her body. It's like a very small and tiny little ant, crawling in the body, itchy, no matter how you scratch it, the whole body is numb.
This taste, which had never been experienced before, suddenly made Carol soften and her cheeks crimson. If it weren't for biting his lip, the heart-wrenching moan in his throat would have to be blurted out.
And this qiÄ, Roy knows nothing.
"The life pattern is very complete" The wood-brained bastard muttered to himself while burrowing his head to probe: "The energy line is perfect, the mana source is sufficient, and the mana is replenished quickly."
"You've accumulated more than five thousand magic codes!At the level of a mage!" Roy looked up in surprise.
By this time, Carol had turned into a pool of soft water, her eyes closed, and her face flushed and fell into his arms.
"Carol" Roy was startled, subconsciously supported Carol, put one hand on her forehead, and said hurriedly: "What's wrong, your body is so hot, sick?"
As Roy's perception and magic withdrew from his body, the tingling in Carol's body disappeared. As soon as her body returned to normal, she immediately realized that she had collapsed into Roy's arms, her body clinging to his thin but powerful body.
The touch from her well-developed breasts and lower abdomen made her bounce like an electric shock and quickly leave Roy's embrace.
Looking at the red-faced Carol, Roy also realized something, his heart fluttered, and then he coughed dryly and said, "Are you okay?"
He said as he disguised his embarrassment and touched his nose with his hand.
Hands have a warm fragrance......
