Chapter 30: The Root Spirit
In the northeast corner of the makeshift camp, Yare met Master Urban again, and the two had met so much that he didn't even notice each other's appearances.
Faced with the magister he had encountered for the first time in his life, the Black Knight secretly looked up and down with curiosity, and now he was far from the scholar mage he had ever seen.
Master Urban's complexion was dark, short and beardless, his facial features looked very ordinary, but he exuded an indescribable fierceness, and his reddish-brown military uniform was neat and simple, except for holding a purple-core wood staff, he looked like a professional soldier at all.
It must have been a mark on his face from his long career, the Black Knight thought.
Perhaps sensing that someone was looking at him, the magister shook the hem of his clothes in the cold wind, followed his perception and cast his gaze, and after seeing Yalei's clothes and equipment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
"Oh, the berserkers of the assault camp......?
The two were still quite far apart, Master Urban's voice was not loud, and the camp under construction was even more chaotic and noisy, but it was really listened to by the highly focused black knight.
Can't a muscular barbarian have a special hobby!?
"The person in front of you is Master Urban, and you seem to know him, but I still have to advise you to be careful when you speak and do things in the hands of that Excellency. β
Halfway through the speaker's words, Cheng DΓΉ, who suddenly lowered his voice to the point of being invisible, whispered in Yalei's ear:
"There are two people in our Holy Knights who can't be provoked, and we must not slack off, and one of them is the cautious Captain Aurelia. The other is Master Urban. He has a nickname. Call the Urban cannon, if the temper comes up, the regiment commander will have to smile with a face. β
A person's name may be wrong, but his nickname will not be called wrong, since he is called a cannon, not a braggart king, it must be a violent temper.
"Thank you!" Yalei looked tense at the moment and thanked him solemnly.
"Nothing. Let's go over. The lookout nodded in satisfaction, and then quickened his pace, approaching Master Urban, who had already looked elsewhere.
There were already hundreds of people gathered around the Magister, all of whom were in various positions, and even a few mages, among them, the Black Knight saw a familiar figure.
Luya!?
Aree froze and looked at the other again, just as Lua stopped talking to her companion. Half of his face turned sideways, and he glanced this way lightly. It's kind of a hello.
This attitude of ignoring love is really her!
"Do you see an acquaintance? Just right, I'll send you here. The lookout stopped and waved at the Black Knight, indicating that he was leaving.
"Thank you. β
Yalei watched the other party turn and leave, walked quickly to a platoon of overseers, found the captain of the gendarme, and handed over the stamped approval.
"Let's go over. β
The other party glanced at the approval slip, then turned his body sideways and made way for a passage.
There were a lot of materials piled up near the crowd, including wooden boxes piled up on a hill, layers of tarpaulin, and a large number of pockets printed with flower fertilizer patterns.
"Hey, I didn't expect to meet here. Aree walked straight up to Lua, patted her on the right shoulder, and grinned.
"I'm not very surprised to meet you here" The female knight's bright pupils were tranquil, and her expression was still indifferent, but she didn't reject the strangeness of thousands of miles away.
"That...... Your head ......"
"Head?"
There was a warm smile in Luya's red eyes, and she quietly supported her waist with both hands, and made a chic flick movement, showing her red show that just covered her earlobes:
"Isn't it pretty?"
"Beautiful...... Of course, it looks good, but I always feel that a double ponytail is more suitable for you. The black knight looked at the neat and refreshing short hair, and said regretfully.
"So you don't have common sense, how can you allow the army to stay long. The female knight gave him a blank look, the expression on her face gradually thawed, the corners of her lips turned up slightly, and she said with a sense of relief:
"Besides, the double ponytail is also difficult to take care of, and if it weren't for Jetton's constant stalking, I would have changed to this one a long time ago. β
"That's right. β
......
"Quiet. β
A small voice came from the front, and the sound of talking in twos and threes suddenly stopped, and Arei and Lua also stopped talking at the same time, waiting for the next step of the Magister.
"Time is of the essence, so let's start now. β
Master Urban's jaw was slightly at the adjutant beside him, and the other party immediately brought a wooden box to the ground and placed it directly in front of the boss's toes.
"As you can see. β
The Magister raised the staff in his hand and swung it down violently, dragging out an afterimage, with a sharp sound of breaking wind, directly shattering the shell of the wooden box.
A palm-sized, vaguely humanoid silhouette with knotted roots exposed to everyone.
"This is the root spirit, a plant that dreams of becoming a human. Master Urban moved the staff above the wooden box, slowly picked it up, held it high in the air, raised his voice and continued:
"It's also our most important source of cannon fodder...... None of you have seen it, and this is not surprising, because this is a new breed that has just been hatched, and it has a cross-generational significance. β
After a few seconds, the Magister placed the root spirit in his palm, his eyes focused on it, and said loudly:
"See my movements clearly. β
After speaking, he exhaled a breath of hot air and blew it on the plant in his palm, and then, with his left hand, he took the white powder handed by the adjutant and sprinkled it all on the root spirit.
"Squeakββ!
The moment the white powder touched his body, Gen Ling felt as if he had been burned by a soldering iron, and his body instantly curled up into a ball, letting out a childish piercing scream, and his whole body twitched and struggled.
"The previous root spirit was in a deep sleep, and this white powder only woke it up, and this plant itself has no combat power, so there is no need to worry. β
Master Urban's explanation continued, and after ten consecutive sessions, the root spirit stretched out its branches again and stood up nimbly.
"From now on, the awakened Root Spirit will imitate the one who awakens it, and this is the first task you will complete. β
As he spoke, he slowly bent down, placed the root spirit in his hand on the ground, took two random steps back, and suddenly raised the staff in his hand.
"Chirp!"
The palm-sized root spirit looked at each other, let out an excited cry, and the roots wriggled, and the shape gradually changed violently, getting closer and closer to the human form...... Five seconds later, a miniature little magister, who resembled Master Urban, appeared in front of everyone, and his expression and movements were exactly the same as those of the object of imitation.
