"Sad?" Turis sent a flask to Alain, who was something every soldier would do, and the tacit understanding honed over the years made Turis know that what Alain needed now was a little anesthesia with alcohol. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Definitely. Shireen doesn't think of me as a father now, even if she says so now. But she only treated me like a warm-hearted stranger to rely on. Alain, who took the flask, mournfully spoke the words that had been held back in his heart, shaking his hand and returning the flask to Turis after a short struggle: "Drinking has made me lose a wife, and I will not lose another daughter." ”

Turis, who took back the flask, felt inexplicable, but after taking a small sip, he still mocked: "Three minutes of heat." Trust me, don't trust your willpower. ”

The sky was darkened after the sun disappeared, and without the moon and starlight, the night sky was terrifyingly quiet. Soon after, flakes of snow fell to the ground, and at the same time fell into Alain's hands.

The snowflakes slowly melted in his hands, and Alain could only command the faithful sentinels, "All of them move closer to the cave." ”

"Are all the people above having brain cramps?" The white-robed people who had retreated returned to their original hiding positions, angrily watching some of the dark sentinels in their sight retreat back to the vicinity of the cave, but the object of anger was not the soldiers in their eyes.

"Even if it's not a brain cramp, it's a pain reliever. This time, the low, hoarse voice also had a hint of anger, and he quickly reluctantly ordered his men to "come and make a plan for tonight's raid." ”

"Are these all Lady Alicia's magical research notes?" Several mages in the group were led by Dalefield to flip through some of the books that Shilinya had brought out, and the research notes of these expert mages were incomparably alluring to them, although this expert's main focus was on recovery spells and alchemy, which was far from their main direction.

"Yes. However, it is all about alchemy, and I am afraid that it will not be of much use to you who specialize in the destruction system. Shilinya reluctantly explained this to them. Originally, she was just sorting out these books and planning to review her homework, but she didn't expect to arouse the interest of some battle mages.

"No, Miss. Kane, the leader of the mages dressed in heavy plate armor, carefully flipped through the notes and corrected his misunderstandings to Shirinya, "We need to make all kinds of healing potions or poisons in our normal free time to meet the consumption of the army. So these alchemical books are quite useful for us. ”

"Is that so?" After coming to this small team, some of Shilinya's cognitions were gradually broken, the most obvious is that these mages are basically wearing heavy armor, and a few people with insufficient physical strength, such as Shilinya and Dalefield, are wearing lighter chain mail. In addition, each mage is equipped with a variety of weapons and participates in hand-to-hand combat when necessary.

"Miss. Dalefield pulled out a rather shabby, bulky and large-bound book, "What is this book about?" ”

"Well......" Shilinya felt quite embarrassed, not knowing how to answer such a question, but after a little consideration, she still felt that it was not a big deal, "This is my mother's research on the culture and relics near Luou Town. Because about ten years ago, the miners of the town's iron ore mine accidentally dug up an underground tomb, causing the undead creatures guarding it to attack the mine. Later, after pacifying the undead, the mayor commissioned his mother to conduct an investigation so that the miners could avoid some of the underground tombs. ”

"Wow!" the news unexpectedly elicited exclamations from the soldiers present, for ordinary soldiers, it represented the wealth left behind by the ancients, and for the mages, it probably held ancient magical knowledge that had long been lost.

"What are you shouting about here?" Alain, who had just returned from outside, was attracted by the exclamations here, "I also want to know what is so exciting here." ”

"Lord Duke, here is a copy of the Lady's Notes on the Ancient Ruins in the vicinity. Seeing that the person who came was his own duke, Delphi took the initiative to hand the notebook to Alain. Everyone who was present put away their original playful attitude and became serious.

"Yes, that's good. Now there is an urgent mission, and we will come here to explore the treasures in the future. Alain, who heard the cause of the incident, also knew what the people here were shouting, as the commander of the first army, Alain had also led his men to loot these large underground tombs. These acts are a rather excessive desecration for those of the tomb owners, but they bring great benefits each time.

"I have something I want to talk to Shireen about. You go to the side and have some fun first. To everyone's surprise, Alain did not look through the notebook after taking it, but put it aside without interest. In this way, the soldiers undoubtedly felt a little disappointed, after all, they were likely to lose a spare time.

"Father, is there something going on?" Shilinya wondered if Alain would suddenly find her.

"Shireen, has Ellie taught you some combat techniques before?" Alain sat across from Shilinya, staring at Shilinya's eyes that gleamed in the firelight. As a father of a warrior, how much he hopes that his children can inherit his career, and now is the time to understand his daughter's ambitions and strengths.

Alain's question made Shilinya feel that this was Alain's test for herself, if there was no accident, she would become the Duke of Anjitan in the future, but before that, Alain might want to know more about herself: "My mother mainly taught me alchemy, restoration, illusion, and destruction magic. But in my free time, I will find Uncle Dalton, the captain of the town's Self-Defense Forces, to learn swordsmanship. ”

"Oh?" Alan felt quite surprised by Shilinya's answer, practicing the four kinds of magic and having more intention to learn swordsmanship, which is not difficult to reflect Shilinya's strong desire for knowledge and ...... Ambition?

"So, what level of swordsmanship can you reach?" Alain, who is quite familiar with his wife's demanding and perfect character, does not ask about Shilinya's magic level, but wants to know her swordsmanship level. Although he has his own interest in being a warrior, he trusts his wife's education more often.

"In terms of swordsmanship, now I can single-handedly pick up two soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces......" Shirinya was quite weak about this question, after all, this is not her best aspect, on the contrary, this is her least outstanding one, and her intermediate magician level is even more remarkable in comparison.

"Come on, let's practice against each other. Without saying a word, Alain picked up Shilinya's sword and placed it in Shilinya's hand, while he drew the sword from his waist and walked towards the wide center of the cave.

"Wait!Father, this is a real sword!" Seeing the long sword that Alan put in his hand and the long sword he himself drawn, Shilinya was really a little panicked at the moment. In the past, she used a wooden sword in her practice with Denton, but today she used a long sword, and Shireen was not mentally prepared at the moment.

"It doesn't matter. Alain was quite relaxed about Shilinya's concerns, and his experienced self was just a small game for an after-dinner event. But if it's just a simple abuse of vegetables, it's quite boring, "You can use your magic skillfully." Remember, the enemy doesn't want to fight you with a fake sword, and the enemy doesn't agree with you not to use magic. ”

The Assassins were diligently discussing the attack, but the natural limitations of the terrain prevented them from carrying out any of their plans.

"Usually you talk the most. Tell me what we're going to do now!" The low and hoarse voice reluctantly asked the white-robed man who had spoken back to him not long ago by name, and now the heavy snow of the Goose Feather Gang had fallen on their white robes, and it had formed a lot of burden. But the pressure from above is heavier than the snow on your body.

"There are so many plans that I've long since said it. The white-robed man was also at a loss for this plan, and he could only complain helplessly about the current situation, "Did you hit your head today!"

"It's not up there. It's the employer who puts a lot of pressure on you to die by 12 o'clock today. The low and hoarse voice was also full of complaints, after all, this was a very ordinary task, and suddenly it became such an egg pain, "If there is no way, then everyone will go to the side and rest for a while and attack head-on!"

"Your Excellency. Where there is movement. Another white-robed man suddenly appeared in front of everyone who had been determined to die.

In the cave, the enthusiasm of the members of the pro-guard team now became even more enthusiastic as the flames continued to flip and burn.

"The standing posture is pretty standard. Alain, who was holding a long sword, stood casually opposite Shilinya, looked at Shilinya, who was in a fairly standard fencing stance at the moment, with a smile on his face, and said, "Attack me, don't be careful of me." If you're wounded, I trust your restorative spell skills. ”

Shilinya concentrated her attention on Alan in front of her, and Alan was standing quite casually at the moment, which was full of flaws compared to the sparring in the Self-Defense Forces that she usually watched, but she never thought that this was Alain's strength. Once she had chosen her target, Shilinya sprang forward without warning, her pace steady in her rapid movements, so as not to stray too quickly or trip over herself.

"Good!" Amid everyone's exclamations, Shilinya's long sword was less than a meter away from Alain's chest. But between the lightning and thunder, Alan still stood still, but the long sword in his hand made a sharp sound of breaking the air, and it slapped the fast stabbing sword away from its original track. At the same time, Alain stepped forward, withstanding Shilinya's rapid attack, easily disrupting Shilinya's steady pace.

In the face of such a change, Shilinya, who didn't have time to react, crashed into Alan's hard knight's plate armor under the effect of inertia.

The cold plate armor made Shilinya feel her face stinging and stinging at this moment, but fortunately, Alan supported the fallen one in time, so that Shilinya would not be too embarrassed.

"Your eyes are too focused, and you betray your direction and your goals. Alain picked up his daughter who fell in his arms and said, "There is still a lack of strength, this should be done often in the future, so as not to be slapped away so easily by me in the future." Other than that, it's all good, but it's too templated and not flexible enough. ”

"Yes. After regaining her position, Shirinya picked up the sword in her hand again, "Go ahead." ”
