403. Decisions
Natasha followed the girls next door, Lena and Nedra to the college's public bath, while he stayed in the dormitory room, placing the torch with the bronze handle on the table, and finding a clean rag to carefully clean the dust and stains from the torch.
It wasn't until the pattern on the torch clearly emerged that Surdak found that the surface of the torch bought in the lamp magic shop was actually engraved with intricate magic patterns, and there was no gemstone base like the shining saber, and when he put his hand on the handle of the torch, the heavy torch came with a metallic cold texture, and the moire notches on it made the torch not so slippery to hold.
Surdak carefully injected the divine aura in his body into the torch, and the torch itself had a faint suction, and it actually took the initiative to guide the divine aura to flow slowly on the torch along the specific magic patterns, and where the divine aura flowed, the dark lines hidden on the torch would emit holy light, just like the sunlight broke through the dark clouds in the sky, forming pillars of light on the earth.
The top of the torch is designed like a female wall on the top of the Arrow Tower, and when the light is fully lit, the light on the four walls of the torch gradually disappears, and is replaced by a sacred flame at the top of the torch.
The magic note continued to transmit signals to him in Surdak's magic belt bag, and Surdak took the magic note out of the magic belt bag, put it on the table, and turned to the last page. Magician Cooper grasped the railing with both hands, looked at the torch in Surdak's hand with curiosity, her eyes gradually brightened, and pointed to the torch in Surdak's hand and said, "Where did you buy the torch of holy light?" It is said that this thing is a weapon blessed by Lady Liberty, and only the weapons used by the battle priests in the temple are no different from the others who pick up this torch and mortal iron! ”
"Wait...... I seem to have guessed that maybe I can light the Sacred Torch with the power of the Light! "Celia. Cooper said excitedly.
"This torch is called the Sacred Torch?" Surdak asked, confused.
Celia. Cooper stared at the torch, the expression on his face was a little gritted teeth, and some schadenfreude, and said to Surdak: "That's right, when the battle priests in the temple were armed with sacred torches and flails to capture dark magicians all over the world, I really remember this kind of weapon!" ”
Surdak casually danced around the room twice, except for a slightly heavier touch, the sacred flame at the top of the torch danced with the torch, and he didn't feel any power.
"The holy light on this torch restrains all undead creatures!" Celia. Cooper said, staring at the torch of light.
"I see!" Surdak said as he stopped releasing the divine aura, and the torch in his hand slowly extinguished, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "If you had this weapon when you participated in the winter hunt, maybe Llewellyn wouldn't have died!" ”
"Maybe the one who dies will be you!" Celia. Cooper said unceremoniously to Surdak.
Surdak understands Celia. Cooper meant that in such a battle, he might be easily targeted by a necromancer, and if it wasn't for a sneak attack, he really wouldn't have much confidence in defeating the necromancer who commanded a large number of undead.
Seeing the light on the torch in Surdak's hand slowly extinguished, Celia. Cooper breathed a sigh of relief.
……
The moonlight outside the window left a dim light lattice on the floor, and Beatrice and Hathaway sat opposite each other on the windowsill, both dressed in snow-white nightdresses. Legs overlapped with each other, each holding a glass of golden cider in their hands, Beatrice with her long hair scattered, had just taken a shower, and the flush on her face had not faded. Go, she looked up at the bright moonlight in the night sky, and her eyes looked a little misty.
The lights in Bednar are extinguished, leaving only the criss-crossing streetlights that outline the city.
"What do you think of Cole. Is what Norton said true? Beatrice took a sip of golden cider and whispered to Hathaway.
Hathaway lowered her head and groaned for a moment before saying, "He has no reason to lie about this, it doesn't do him any good, he can't be so boring." ”
"Then are you going to the city of Highlandza?" Beatrice's eyes sparkled as she stared at Hathaway and asked.
Hathaway's heart moved slightly, but she asked stiffly: "What are you doing?" ”
Beatrice replied as a matter of course, "To him, of course." ”
She suddenly stood up from the windowsill and said excitedly to Hathaway, "Speaking of which, what I saw that day should be right, I always thought it was my hallucination, but I can now be sure that what I saw that day must be him." ”
"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?" Hathaway was confused by her best friend's words, and her pale green eyes stared at Beatrice's fair face.
Beatrice seemed to be caught in a memory, stood in the moonlight like water, and said: "I mean in the summer, we were still in the Swordsman Academy and preparing for the graduation ceremony, I seemed to see Knight Surdak standing outside the Academy, he saw me at the time, and of course you, but I don't know why he left without meeting us, I saw his back when he turned around, I couldn't fully confirm that it was him, and now that I think about it, he must have come to the Swordsman Academy to visit us." ”
Hathaway raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, looked at her best friend and asked, "Why have you never mentioned this to me?" ”
Beatrice reached into her long fluffy hair and scratched her head, smirked and said, "I thought it was a hallucination?" ”
After saying that, she lifted her nightdress, walked to the bed, dragged out the suitcase under the bed, and said while opening the suitcase: "I have to prepare, let me think about what I need to bring for the trip!" ”
"Are you really going to look for him in the city of Hylanza?" Hathaway's eyes widened, and she felt her heart beat hard.
Beatrice winked at her best friend and said, "Of course, it's not just me, it's us...... If you don't go, don't regret it in the future! ”
……
Surdak gently moved away from the large . legs and arms, quietly got up and walked to the terrace.
Breathing in the fresh morning air, Surdak began to swing the craftsman's sword in his hand, silently recording the numbers in his heart, and then swinging his shield to do five thousand block movements, these are all exercises that must be done every day, thanks to this snow, so that he and Natasha finally have a little personal space.
Every morning he still has to take cultural classes in the academy, and in the afternoon, he is more free, not every afternoon, after Assistant Teacher Paplo helped him adjust the class schedule, life in the Knight Academy became very easy, and occasionally he could go to the Sword Pavilion and Darcy. Christie competes in swordsmanship.
Surdak pushed open the door of the sword hall, and Miss Jean at the front desk glanced up at Surdak, pointed to the practice room in the middle of the room, and motioned to Darcy. Christie was also there, and Surdak picked out a slightly heavier wooden sword on the weapon rack in the hall of the Sword Pavilion according to the weight of the weapon, and walked into Darcy with the wooden sword. The practice room where Christie is.
Darcy. Christie is a swordsmanship instructor in the sword hall, although the swordsmanship course of the knight academy is not included in the main subjects, but there are still many trainee knights who are willing to take the time to improve their swordsmanship level, there are three swordsmanship instructors in the sword hall, and the daily schedule is not very tight, and most of the time will be very leisurely.
Surdak walked into the practice room with a wooden sword, and Darcy. Christie was slashing with all her might at the practice woodman, and the wooden sword slashed at the practice woodman with a crackling sound like a popping bean, and saw Surdak walk in, Darcy. Christie stopped, and the two barely communicated and started fighting.
Darcy. Christie knew that Surdak usually did not use all his strength, and the sword style became faster and stranger, forcing Surdak to danger in the practice room, but Surdak's physical strength was abundant, and he could deal with it calmly no matter how big the crisis was, Miss Darcy finally barely broke through Surdak's defense with a sword, and the wooden sword was against Surdak's shoulder, and this round of sword competition was over.
Miss Darcy was almost soaked with sweat in her linen shirt in her tight leather armor, and she sat down looking at the wall of the practice room with some physical exhaustion, and at this time Surdak would carefully recall the process of the competition just now, and learn from the experience of the battle, at this time Miss Jean at the front desk would bring two cups of hot tea at the right time, and sometimes two delicate biscuits.
Darcy. Christie wiped the sweat from her face with a towel and asked Surdak, "I haven't congratulated you on getting the knighthood in advance, have you registered with the Knights?" ”
"Hmm!" Surdak took a sip of hot tea.
Miss Darcy had a slightly raised arc on the corner of her mouth, and asked, "Have you thought about where you want to lead the knight?" ”
Surdak said truthfully: "I am going to lead the knights near the village of Wall!" ”
In fact, he has been hesitating between Pupu Mountain and Vol Village in his heart for the choice of knight leader recently, but recently he has sold the car sulfur mine in a row, which has made Surdak feel very deeply, and it is obviously easier to accumulate wealth by having a mine at home than opening a farm.
"Aren't you going to share a piece of Baron Grenfell's red pine forest?" Miss Darcy asked.
Carl has always been very enthusiastic about the red pine forest, but unfortunately the Casment family is not very high in the city of Highland, and they have not been able to get a share of the red pine forest.
"No, I don't want to open a lumberyard!" Surdak very dryly refused.
"There is also a large area of land near Hoyle Manor, which is very suitable for setting up a farm!" Miss Darcy was not surprised, and then recommended another piece of rich land.
Of course, these recommended by Miss Darcy are under the control of the Christie family, and after Miss Hoyle inherited the title, due to no meritorious service, the title of the third earl of the Hoyle family was reduced to a first-class viscount, so the land near the Hoyle Manor may also have to be ceded out, so Miss Hoyle has the right of first refusal to transfer the land.
Seeing that Surdak was unmoved, Miss Darcy also wanted to recommend the land near Fornak Manor, but seeing that Surdak was not eager, she immediately thought of a little, so she asked in surprise: "...... You've already decided? ”
"I grew up over there in Wall, so I'm more comfortable with the environment." Surdak said.
Miss Darcy was speechless about Surdak's stubbornness for a while, and there was silence in the practice room.
In fact, in the same way, Carl also persuaded Surdak, but Carl did not have such good land resources, and only suggested that he choose an oak forest, at least in the autumn to sell a batch of acorns, but Surdak decisively refused.
