824. Nika 1

Surdak stepped out of the Void Gate and returned to the study in the small building of the barracks.

There was still the sound of horses' hooves on the cavalry training ground in the camp, and the cavalry who remained in the barracks spent most of their time on the training ground every day.

Putting on heavy armor and carrying heavy knightly spears in one arm, they charged non-stop at the wooden men at one end of the training ground.

The entire runway of the cavalry training ground has been trampled by war horses.

In the morning, when only a few wounded horses were left in the stables, the aboriginal herders would drive the other Gubolai horses to the meadows outside the town.

It wasn't until the afternoon when the sun didn't shine into the Dodan Gorge that the indigenous herders rushed back from outside the town.

Immediately, the rumbling of horses' hooves could be heard outside, and a fat, sturdy maroon-headed horse was the first to rush in from outside the camp gate, running at the front of the herd, and a herd of horses galloping behind it, without even needing a few herdsmen to whip it after him.

At this time, the herdsmen in front of the stables only need to open the fence in front of the stables in time, and they can rush into the stables in one breath, causing a dusty place in the barracks.

The herdsmen followed from behind on several healthy horses, and the horses under them were not saddled, and they grasped the reins of the horses in one hand and the long white poles in the other, and kept shouting and entering the cavalry camp.

More than 200 war horses entered the stable, which immediately gave the barracks station a little more life.

The elite cavalry and the best war horses have gone to the hills and heights to hunt the ghost-patterned red ants, and the remaining horses are all picked by the cavalry.

Surdak prepares to go to the stables and continue to transform these horses with the life pattern.

If he could, he would prefer to be able to buy back a batch of blue-scaled horses, only blue-scaled horses are suitable for equipping heavy cavalry, but unfortunately this kind of war horse is difficult to buy in Bena Province, even high-quality Gubolai horses are only bought after coming to the Bailin plane.

Surdak walked along the gravel path in the barracks, and the cavalry passing by him stopped to salute.

When I passed by the door of the wounded soldier's dormitory, I happened to see Nika leading a group of maids inside to change the dressing of the wounded cavalry.

Originally, there were some wails of wounded soldiers in this dormitory for wounded soldiers, but since these maids came to the barracks, it has become quiet, and the occasional cry of pain will immediately stop.

In addition to the fact that the wounded soldiers were reluctant to show themselves in front of the maids, the maids were much more gentle in bandaging their wounds than their cavalry companions.

As Surdak's assistant, Nika has been involved in the treatment of wounded soldiers recently, and is very familiar with this group of wounded cavalry, and she leads the maids to change the dressing of the wounded soldiers in the dormitory, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

The maids that Malacombe gave to Surdak were all from the southern region of the White Forest Plane, and aside from their knowledge of plants, all of them were young and beautiful, and the aborigines of the southern part of the White Forest had pale skin, and it was difficult to tell where they came from if it weren't for their pupils, hair color, and subtle tattoos on their bodies.

When Surdak saw Nika coming out of the dormitory with a basin of blood, he told her that she would go to the small building to find him when she was done.

Nika has adapted to this hectic life of going back and forth between the town and the barracks.

However, Surdak still remembers that when he first found Nika, he found that her body seemed to contain extremely pure light elements, and he thought that she was likely to awaken the magic pool, and if she was in Kiran Town, it was very likely that she would miss the magic awakening ceremony, so he would bring her to Dodan Town.

Previously Surdak also let Celia. Cooper imparts some magical knowledge to Signa and Nick, but apparently Celia . Cooper prefers Signa and doesn't pay much attention to Nika.

So Surdak had just had some time today, and decided to take the time to teach Nika to sense the light in his body.

Although this kind of thing will not be successful overnight, learning to perceive is at least the first step on this path.

Surdak then went to the stable, selected a few lightly injured Guborian horses, and implanted a giant soldier ant's power-type life pattern on their front legs.

I was busy until dinner.

……

Surdak returned to the building, where Signa was sitting on the oak steps of the building, holding a magic notebook, looking like she was talking to herself.

She was petite, sitting on the edge of the railing of the steps looked very inconspicuous, it was difficult to detect her existence without getting close to the small building, she spoke softly, and like a timid rabbit, as soon as she felt someone approaching, she immediately closed her mouth.

Surdak walked up to Signa and saw Celia in the magic notes. Cooper was standing behind a test bench with some magic gems. Cooper draws lines on the magical parchment to connect the magic gems together, and is discussing with Signa the composition of the yellow spinel with a faint element......

If it weren't for seeing them discussing in person, Surdak couldn't believe it. Cooper would discuss these areas of magic with a girl who was less than six years old.

It's just that in front of Signa, Surdak can't deny this matter in a too heavy tone.

So he could only scratch his scalp, sit on the wooden steps beside Xigna, and say euphemistically to the unsmiling old woman in the magic notebook:

"Celia. Ms. Cooper...... I did ask you before...... Look for an opportunity to teach Signa and Nika some introductory things about magic, but you think you're talking to a six-year-old about the academic aspects of magic...... Is this appropriate? ”

Celia. Cooper rolled his eyes in his heart, but he had to say on the surface:

"Ahem, Signa is different from other little girls, she ......"

Celia. Cooper only said one word, and Signa smiled sweetly at her.

Celia. Cooper immediately shut up and paused before saying:

"Signa's physique is very special...... She has a very pure elemental physique, and she will definitely become a very good magician in the future, and her unique insights into certain fields of magic, and the entry point is also very unique, and I usually don't think about problems from this perspective anyway. ”

Then he said very implicitly: "...... So she inspired me a lot on some issues. ”

Surdak has been learning the language of runes based on the dragon language recently, and when he saw a magic pattern circle drawn on the desktop in the magic notes, he could naturally understand the most basic things. Cooper asked, "Is this a summoning circle?" ”

"The magic circle of the Dark Summoning Ritual is only a half-finished product at the moment." Celia. Cooper was a little impressed with Surdak.

When I first met him, he was only a reserve knight.

But in less than two years, he not only became a baron nobleman, but he could also understand the magic pattern array.

Celia. Cooper could tell from the subtle change in his gaze that he should have understood.

She hesitated slightly, but decided not to tell the truth, if she wanted to say it, it would be Signa who would tell it.

She wants to get out of the magic notebook, and now it seems that she must use the power of Xigna to sign a magic contract with her to become a magic attendant, so that she can occasionally get out of this magic notebook like a magic prison.

Celia. Cooper thought that it might be possible to negotiate some more lenient terms of the contract by communicating with Signa alone.

Surdak didn't continue to look at the messy patchwork magic pattern circle on his notebook, but talked to Celia. Cooper talked about the introduction to magic for Signa and Nika, and Surdak still attached great importance to the two children's learning in magic.

Signa did quite well, and Celia. Cooper even said that Signa didn't have to wait until she was twelve to participate in the magic awakening ceremony, and with her current understanding of magic, she could completely open up a magic pool.

For Nika, Celia. Cooper could only complain, and she said to Surdak:

"Do you also see that Nika has the constitution of light, and there is a trace of the purest light in her body, how dare I get too close to her, if I am not careful, she may be purified into a wisp of black smoke...... If it's more serious, the entire notebook of the dark arts could be ignited......"

Listen to Celia. Cooper said this, and Surdak had no choice but to give up on Celia. Cooper's magical enlightenment is thinking about how to guide Nika in her own way, so that she can sense the light element in her body.

……

After Nika finished changing the medicine for the wounded soldier, she ran to the small building to find Surdak.

Surdak was still implanting the Guborai Horse with a life pattern at the stable, and Nika was not in a hurry to find Surdak there, but prepared dinner in the kitchen of the small building.

The wooden table in the kitchen is often used by Surdak for peeling and dissecting tables, and the whole kitchen is filled with the faint sour smell of ghostly red ants, and the blood of red ants has even been deeply immersed in the wooden texture of the table.

Nika scrubbed the kitchen with a pig hair brush and cooked a simple dinner using the most traditional cooking methods of the local Aborigines.

Only then did Surdak push open the door of the small building and enter the living room along the corridor.

"Over there...... Busy so soon? Surdak asked, sitting at the dining table, looking at Nika, who was busy in the kitchen.

Nika quickly turned around, saluted Surdak, and whispered:

"Well, the cavalrymen recovered very quickly, and many minor injuries have completely healed, and it is the cavalry that amputated their limbs...... I'm afraid that life will become very difficult in the future. ”

Worry was written in her eyes.

Surdak lowered his head, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, and said casually: "Don't worry about this, I have already asked someone to go to the Orianna Magic Puppet Shop, ready to buy that most basic prosthetic, which will not have much impact on my future life." ”

"By the way, Nika, and Celia recently. What did Cooper Wizard learn? Surdak asked, holding the glass of water, to Nika.

Nika put down what she was doing, stood beside Surdak, and said quietly:

"Meditation, Celia taught me to meditate, but I'm a bit stupid, and I didn't understand what Celia said."

Surdak stretched out his arm, his palm was spread upwards on the table, and a ball of holy light slowly lit up from his palm, and Surdak said to Nika:

"Nika, close your eyes and feel it...... Can you feel the light? ”

"I can!"

Nika closed her eyes and replied in the affirmative.
