When Jude opened his eyes again, it was early the next morning.

Sitting up, the boy found himself sleeping all night under a tree, and looked around, not far away, Linda was standing with her back to her.

Last night they had decided to take a detour to the east to reach the Tara Meadows, but they had not gone far in the woods before they stopped to rest because they were too tired. The boy originally just wanted to sit under the tree for a while to regain his strength, but unexpectedly fell asleep.

Before that, he had proposed to go back to the town to pack his belongings and say goodbye to the people, but was rejected by the girl on the grounds that "there may be occultists in the town", so he had no choice but to rush on the journey. At the moment, he had neither a change of clothes, nor dry food, not even a backpack, all his luggage was the money bag in his fanny pack, his pocket watch, and Master Stanxiu's spell notes.

Visionary people often have all kinds of troubles, and Jude is not hungry at this time, but he can already foresee what will happen next. Hopefully there's a town ahead...... If he couldn't do it, he went hunting, so thought, and the boy hastened to check the reserves of the long sword at his waist, the short bow behind him, and the quiver. Making a fire can be solved by casting spells, the biggest problem is that there are no spices, but you may be able to try to get some rock salt.

After thinking about this, Jude became optimistic and let everything take its course, as Mr. Stanford said: "Don't be sad about the established facts, and don't worry about distant things." ”

"I accidentally fell asleep last night and didn't say hello, sorry. The boy approached behind Linda, "Shall we continue on our way?"

-

It was nearly noon when Jude and Linda finally walked out of the mountains and into the plain wilderness.

As far as the eye can see, the golden wheat fields can be seen faintly in the distance.

Wheat field usually means town, and the teenager is already hungry, with sore legs and dirty clothes, and is in urgent need of a town to rest and replenish.

However, when she looked at the girl beside her, she did not seem to be hungry at all, and her clothes were still as new and clean as when they first met.

Jude recalls that the cleansing technique mentioned by his teacher when he introduced the Convenience of Life Spell, which seemed to be a spell that would keep clothes fresh and tidy, but the boy had not studied it carefully, but had a general impression.

Linda's costume was probably enchanted to fix the cleansing technique, and the boy secretly sighed that he only realized the value of magic when he walked out of the house.

However, it was not too late, and thinking that he had Stansho's magic notes on him, Jude decided to learn more about spells on his own when he had free time in the future.

"There's probably a town up ahead," suggested the boy, "shall we go over and take a look?"

"Hmm...... Good. For some reason, the girl's voice sounded a little weak.

-

At the end of the wheat field, there is a small town that the locals call Raivis.

As the two of them walked down the street, Jude noticed that there were many obvious outsiders here, and wondered why there were so many travelers in this remote town.

The puzzled young man called out to the passers-by: "Hello, excuse me, may I ask what kind of place is this, there are so many travelers?"

It was a man in a brown trench coat, with black hair similar to that of a teenager, but half a head taller than him, with a calm and friendly smile on his face: "Hello. Levis is known to be one of the most popular stops on the way to Clare, where most travelers are heading to Tara Meadows. Why did you two come here?"

It seemed that there was no mistake, and the boy was just about to say that they were about to go to the Tara Meadow, but the girl next to him fell straight down without warning.

"Linda?" Jude hurriedly held the girl up, only to find that she was unconscious.

-

At noon, by the window in the hall of the tavern.

"It turns out that eating can replenish energy. After lunch, Linda nodded knowingly.

Looking at the girl in front of her, who had just fainted from hunger, Jude couldn't help but laugh, but fortunately he and the passerby brought her to the tavern in time. The teenager couldn't believe it: "Uh, Linda, you don't know, do you want to eat on time......"

"Well, there used to be a ...... that could restore energy Divine magic, meals are usually for ceremonial purposes. The girl's expression was a little awkward, as if she had come into contact with a completely new world, "Also, I realized today that walking is such a tiring thing." ”

"There used to be a magic ...... that could be used to travel?" the boy asked tentatively.

"Hmm...... That's it," Linda didn't deny, "it's easy to move with the help of divine magic, and you can even float instead of walking. ”

Jude was amazed at how powerful the Aeolus Cult could be, and there was no arcane in his knowledge that could replace eating or walking for a long time. Could it be that magic is more powerful than arcane magic, or is it the only Aeolus sect that has such power?

But he was more concerned about: "What about now?"

After a moment of silence, the girl said with some hesitation: "After last night's incident, I ...... Suddenly, the voice of God could no longer be heard. ”

As she spoke, Linda once again showed that hesitant and sad look.

As it turned out, Jude realized that he had thought it wrong and was about to say something.

"What happened last night?" said the man who had helped bring the maiden at the table, and at last he could not help but interject, "I said, boy, what have you done to this maiden? ”

"Wait, it's not what you think......" Jude hurriedly explained, "My name is Jude, and this is Linda, and we only met yesterday." Narrowly escaped last night, and now plans to head to Nanfeng Village in the Tara Meadows, which is Linda's hometown. ”

"I see, it seems that I misunderstood. The man laughed, "It just so happens that I'm going to the Tara Meadows too, so why don't we have a companion?" ”

-

Jude, who was worried about the difficulty of the journey, naturally would not refuse Nosa's invitation, and Linda agreed, so the three agreed to travel together. Seeing that both of them were looking tired, Nosa proposed to rest for a day in the local area and wait until dawn the next day before continuing on the road.

Perhaps because she had already experienced the hardships of life, Linda accepted this advice. Jude was quite helpless about this, and if the girl had been willing to listen to his proposal the day before, he would not have left without saying goodbye, which would have worried the townspeople. But now the young man has calmed down, Linda not only looks like a fairy, but also admittedly lacks some common sense in the world.

Then the two of them checked in at the tavern where Nossa was staying, and as Jude had expected, the girl really didn't know what money was, and the boy had no choice but to help her pay for it.

After everything was settled, the boy sat in the guest room, and finally enjoyed a moment of peace that he had not seen for a long time.

He was overwhelmed by the many encounters in the previous day, and it was only then that Jude truly came to his senses.

The people of the town may have started to worry because they didn't know where they were going. Although Lamberting is on the other side of the mountain, it will take a day to go back and forth, and it is not realistic to go back tomorrow morning, and the young man is physically and mentally exhausted and needs to rest.

After he accompanied Linda to Nanfeng Village, he returned to Lambertine, and Jude planned to visit Nanfeng Village again in the future. But this journey is not only long and dangerous, is it really okay to travel alone? The boy has no answer in his heart, and now he can only go with the flow and make the next step when he arrives at Nanfeng Village.

-

Speaking of which, what was the matter with the pocket watch that Mr. Stanxiu had given him? Jude remembered and quickly took it out of his pocket. Flipping open the case, the dial shows the time at 1:14 p.m.

Pressing the metal button at the top seemed to pause time, and he wanted to press the button, but this time nothing changed, and the hands continued to rotate calmly as usual.

Combined with his own experiments in the woods the night before, it may take to press twice to activate the effect, Jude pressed the button again, and nothing happened.

The boy scratched his head, unable to figure out how to use the time-standing function.

Or maybe it wasn't ready to be used again, Jude had heard that some magic items needed time to recharge, such as this silver pocket watch.

It turned out that those magical items were so powerful, and Jude was shocked when he recalled the incredible static time and space, and the gift that Teacher Stanxiu gave him was really incalculable.

From now on, no matter what happens, this pocket watch must be stored close to its own body and must never be lost. With that in mind, the boy closed his pocket watch and put it back in his pocket.

-

Jude always told him to study magic diligently, and only when he was away from home could he understand his good intentions, Jude recalled the bits and pieces of the past, whether it was travel or self-defense, the value of magic could not be ignored, if he had listened to him......

It's not too late to make amends, so I want the boy to take out the magic notes left by the teacher from his waist bag. He was no stranger to this little book, it was small but very thick, and when he opened his notes, every page was full of various spells and other fields of knowledge summarized by Teacher Stanxiu.

Impressed by Linda's clean and fresh clothes, the boy immediately began to look through his notes, eventually finding the spell in the Conversion section.

It turned out that Cleanse was a relatively basic daily spell with low difficulty and consumption, but the teacher left a note on the side: "A dignified mage should be diligent in his hands or good at using people, but he should not rely on this spell to avoid the burden of laundry." ”

No wonder Mr. Stan Xiu was reluctant to go into detail about this spell at first, Jude pondered, but why shouldn't a dignified mage rely on cleansing?

Soon Jude had mastered the spell, and he tried to concentrate, and after successfully sensing the magic, he began to chant the incantation: "Icnivos_sencirea." ”

The moment the spell was cast, the boy seemed to see a transparent phantom light appear for a short time, and then all the dirt on his coat disappeared, and even the worn parts were repaired, and the whole garment was completely restored to a new state. Upon closer inspection, Jude noticed that not only his coat, but also his shirt, trousers, and shoes had disappeared.

What a miraculous spell it was, and the boy could not help but marvel at it, and henceforth he would not have to wash his clothes or make his hands suffer from the cold. It was a practical spell for the benefit of all, and the arcane magic was indeed very magical, and Jude praised the cleansing technique, completely ignoring the comments of Mr. Stansho.

The delighted and excited teenager then performed a cleaning operation on all the tables, chairs, bed sheets, quilts and pillowcases in the room, and Jude was in a good mood when he looked at the new and clean guest room.

Just as he pondered whether to go to Linda's guest room next door to clean it as well, the boy suddenly remembered something important.

It was "that voice" that reminded him of using his pocket watch and taking Linda out of the ruins at the critical moment yesterday, and the strange premonition and intense discomfort that prevented him from confessing its existence to others was probably caused by "that voice".

Whose voice was that, and why did it exist in his head? Jude was so troubled that he decided to talk to it.

"Ahem, hello, can you hear me?" the boy asked tentatively, "what shall I call you?"
