Chapter 418: The Night of the Festival
Those who dare to steal on the day of Wintering are all highly skilled and pretentious old thieves, otherwise, they would not dare to challenge the security forces of an entire city on this day.
The holiday of the festival and the defense of the Ancient Demon Cult made Baron Sheaton send almost four-fifths of the city guards to take charge of the order of Sheldon City on this day.
Maybe these old thieves are confident that they will not be caught by the city guards, even if they are righteous and brave people like Rosen who have a certain strength, they are not very afraid.
After chasing two streets, Lawson lost track of the gray thief and stood in the crowd and hammered his thigh in discouragement. At first, he felt that he was still biting tightly behind the thief, but after turning two corners, almost instantly, Lawson lost the trace of the thief.
This thief may not be a powerful hidden master, but he is definitely an old thief who is good at taking advantage of the environment.
But just as Lawson was about to walk back, not far ahead, there was a sudden cry of pain. Then there was a heart-rending cry, a sound that was so clear in the bustling streets that it was enough to show the pain of the screamers.
Could it be that the thief was caught?
With this in mind, Rosen rushed over.
Pushing aside the lively crowd, Lawson squeezed into a small circle surrounded by the crowd. In the open space, there was a gray-clothed young man lying there, but the appearance of this gray-clothed young man was really a little miserable.
The young man rolled his eyes, seemingly unconscious, and there were some traces of saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his face was covered with a lot of dust because of the constant rolling on the ground, like a beggar who had not washed his face in months. His hands and feet trembled as if they had been electrocuted.
Next to the young man, Ellie was standing in place, holding a wallet in her hand.
The highly-guarded city guards arrived almost in the next second, quickly figured out the situation, tied up the gray-clothed young man, and took him away.
In fact, as soon as they saw the face of this gray-clothed young man, they recognized this habitual thief in Xuedun City, but they didn't expect that this habitual thief, who gave them a headache, was actually planted in the hands of such a young girl.
The handling of the matter did not take too long, and in less than two minutes, Su Wen rushed over with the owner. The loss of the wallet made the owner almost cry with joy, because during the holiday, his wallet contained the balance of the year, and he was moved, and immediately took out ten silver bills, wanting to thank them.
Of course, this thank you Kim was also dismissed by Ellie.
This episode also added a little wonderful experience to the Winter Glory experience of several people, although they were not witnesses, but Roland and Shirley's feelings were obviously deeper than Ellie and Rosen.
Young people are also the group that is most likely to resonate with heroic behavior.
Square performances, street parades, magic fireworks, snacks and festive merchandise make for a wonderful experience.
It wasn't until midnight that the group returned to the courtyard.
"The music of the parade is typical of the nomadic style of the West! Compared to it, there is a little less part of the farming culture in the south, which is really a bit strange!"
"Yes, because Shelton is a new city in the past 100 years, except for a small number of local residents, most of the rest are migrated from the original nomads, so it is normal to blend the two culturally. ”
Mia's exclamation was echoed by Kelsey, and the two of them discussed related issues along the way, filling in each other's knowledge gaps.
Rosen carried a large bag and a small bag, carrying Kyle, who had already exhausted his energy and slept on his back, and walked at the back. After all, Rosen is still the eldest of the children of Snow Castle, and some things are also needed for him to do.
"Su Wen, I'm sleepy too!" Ellie drooped her eyelids, followed behind Su Wen a little tiredly, and pulled the corner of Su Wen's clothes.
"Do you want me to carry it?"
Roland and Shirley turned their heads and looked at Ellie.
Ellie's old face turned red, and she hid her body behind Su Wen, avoiding their sight, and then whispered behind her: "I don't want you to carry it......!"
As she was talking, Ellie saw Su Wen half-squatting down.
"Come on, it's not like I haven't memorized it. ”
Ellie was stunned for a moment, but after hesitating for two seconds, she overtook Su Wen with some confusion and said, "I'll go ...... by myself."
Probably embarrassed because of the eyes of his peers, right?
Su Wen smiled and stood up.
"Back to back...... Why don't I remember you carrying me......" Ellie muttered quietly.
"When you became a cocoon, you really didn't have any memory. ”
"Ahhh
As soon as they entered the room, everyone collapsed directly on the sofa and began to temporarily regain their strength. And as soon as they lay down, they sat up again, stared at the table with wide eyes.
They remembered that on the dining table, which should have been cleaned up by them and had nothing to do, at this time, there was a pile of gifts wrapped in gift paper!
"What is this!?"
"A gift. Su Wen said with a smile: "The tradition of my hometown is that whenever there is a New Year's holiday, the elders will send red envelopes to the younger generations, and the red envelopes are a kind of blessing, which contains some money...... So, I just want to send you something else. ”
"So these things ......" Su Wen pointed to the gifts of different sizes on the table, and said, "One for each person, choose for yourself." ”
Hearing this, everyone who was still languishing just now jumped up and pounced on them. Pharos is the only one who can remain reserved.
Oh no, and Kelsey who was seated.
"Your share too, oh Pharos. ”
There is nothing wrong with Falos who is indeed Su Wen's junior......
"Kelsey, why don't you pick a gift?"
"Probabilistically, it's the same when it comes to choosing first. “
"No, it's not. Su Wen shook his head: "That's under ideal conditions, you see, the gift over there can roughly know what it is from the appearance and weight." ”
Kelsey's lips moved, and he couldn't speak. But in the end, she gave up and said, "Then when they finish choosing, I'll give me the last one left." ”
Su Wen smiled and was noncommittal.
The gifts for this table were synthesized by Su Wen using the materials specially purchased yesterday, and there were all kinds of things, but they were all first-class good things.
The most rare thing is that these things are all of no grade, but their actual functions can be compared to purple-level or even legendary-level equipment, just like the scimitar made by Su Wen with sheep's horns when he was in the northern snow-capped mountains.
"Then I'll want this sword!"
With his quick eye, Rosen got the most conspicuous long gift. In appearance, it looks like a sword – one of the most recognizable gifts.
Barot followed closely and got a small box, because this box was a gift with the strongest magic response under her induction.
The others who came later, with little choice, took whichever was easy to take. Ellie was the least eager of all for these gifts, and none of them were as good to her body as her own.
So Ellie walked in the penultimate and took a random one from the remaining three boxes.
Pharos, who was walking at the end, picked up the last two gifts, turned around and asked Kelsey, "Which one do you want?"
Kelsey pointed casually, and Pharos tossed the gift to Kelsey, who was sitting on the couch.
And at this time, Rosen was also the first to open the gift he received.
Tearing open the gift package, what is revealed is indeed a sword, the body of this sword is milky white, the texture is delicate, like ceramic, but when you touch it, it is a cold metallic feeling.
Is it a normal sword? Or is it a decorative sword? It should be a decorative sword...... It looks better than the sword hanging in the snow castle......
Thinking so, Lawson waved the sword in his hand.
Who knows, under this wave, the fighting spirit that was originally sleeping in Lawson's body actually became restless, and a breath that surpassed his current strength almost two small stages suddenly leaked out!
"......" Lawson hurriedly stopped swinging his sword, stared blankly at the white long sword in his hand, and then looked at Su Wen with a pleading gaze.
"You know the concept of 'conductors'...... It doesn't matter if you don't know, this sword is an easy conductor of fighting spirit, and the sturdiness is also good, but you don't have a name, you can take one yourself. ”
Of course, Rosen knew that this was a good sword, but he didn't expect it to be, such a powerful sword, he couldn't tell what grade it was!
"That...... Brother Su Wen, this sword ......"
"Do you want to ask about the grade?"
Lawson nodded.
"There's no grade, it's just an ordinary sword. ”
“......”
It's just an ordinary sword......
But judging from this effect, even purple-level equipment does not have such a strong amplification effect! Rosen clearly remembered that even his uncle Justin's purple-level spear, although the increase in fighting spirit was only one of the small functions, the increase was only about eight percent. And Su Wen's sword almost doubled his fighting strength!
"Oh, you're wondering why this sword is so powerful, right?" Su Wen saw Rosen's doubts and explained: "There's nothing strange about it, although you feel that your fighting spirit has increased, but the total amount of your fighting energy is also certain." If the process of releasing Dou Qi is pouring water, the effect of this sword is equivalent to increasing the tilt of the bottle mouth a little. ”
"I see......"
Although Su Wen said it lightly, Rosen knew quite well how terrifying the amplification effect that this sword could bring to the battle.
Ballot opened the box and pulled out a necklace. The pendant of the necklace is a green gemstone the size of a chickpea, and the gemstone has a glowing magic that is visible to the naked eye.
This necklace is something that Su Wen was inspired by those insects in the no-man's land outside the border, and the crystal has the effect of storing magic and isolating the breath, so this necklace also has the same effect. Maybe it's because there are a lot of magic reserves in it, so even the magic that leaks out is the strongest of all the gifts.
"You can use this necklace as a spare pool of mana, and the magic in it is about three of you. ”
Three......?
Barot held the necklace, and the degree of amazement was still in her expectation. After all, she had seen a lot of wonders in Su Wen, and it was not surprising that she took out such a necklace. What's more, she still has a necklace given by Su Wen around her neck now!
The original one, but it is a super powerful item that stores powerful talisman magic!
But...... How do you wear these two necklaces?
Others also opened their gifts, Roland was a pair of boots with acceleration and enhanced bounce ability, Shirley was a small mirror that could open the enchantment to absorb magical attacks, and Mia got a headgear from the same series as Shireen's transformation weapon......
"What the hell. Ellie opened her box and pulled out a piece of soft armor. On the soft armor, there is also a familiar smell - the smell of your own body!
"Soft armor. Su Wen said, paused, and added in a low voice: "I used a little bit of the nail piece you shed......
Ellie picked her head, looked at the soft armor, and said, "It's useless for me to take this thing...... And it feels weird......"
If you knit a scarf or a glove from a human hair, you would feel the same strange thing, but if it were on someone else, it would be even more strange!
Luckily, I got it......
However, since it was a gift from Su Wen, Ellie still kept the software.
"What is this......" Kelsey opened his box, took out a piece of paper wrapped in paper, and sniffed it, there was a sweet aroma in it.
"Oh, strawberry cake, it doesn't have any special effect, it should be delicious, right?"
A special strawberry cake made by Su Wen.
Kelsey sighed, as if he had gotten the worst gift again.
"Do you want to change it?" Ellie smelled the aroma, leaned over at once, handed out the soft armor in her hand, and said seriously.
"Are you serious?" Kelsey asked curiously.
Ellie nodded solemnly.
Then, the exchange is successful.
The last one to open the gift was Pharos. Pharos took out a piece of paper with two symbols written on it that he didn't recognize, and looked at Su Wen.
"Winning the lottery. Su Wen read these two words out in Chinese, and then said to Falos: "I really can't think of any gifts, with this note, you can let me do a favor, you can do anything." Of course, it must also be within a reasonable range. ”
A help from Su Wen?
Everyone gasped, this is equivalent to a chance to make a wish!
"Help?"
"Yes, within reason, as long as I can do it, it's okay, whether it's to help you make a set of equipment, or improve your strength, or something else, it's okay. Su Wen said: "Anyway, I'm fine, haha." ”
Pharos fell silent, as if pondering the meaning of the note.
Looking at the envious eyes of others, Su Wen smiled again and said to Shirley: "I lost so much money to you in the afternoon, and I will give you a chance to help~"
"What!?really!" "Shirley jumped for joy.
But in addition to the surprise, the content of the wish has become a difficult problem for them to think about. Whether it's Pharos or Shirley, it's the same.
Everyone is looking forward to a chance to fulfill their wishes, and this wish has been repeated countless times in their hearts, whether it is wealth, fame, love, or others, it is the most difficult thing they desire to obtain.
But when I really encountered this opportunity, I still hesitated.
"Didn't you think about it? It's okay to use it again in the future?"
Su Wen saw that the two of them were suddenly entangled, so he took the two out of thinking first.
"What's there to worry about, just say that ten more wishes will be granted?" Ellie muttered quietly.
