Chapter 5 The First Journey into the Mortal World
The most comfortable thing in a winter morning is that you can lie down in the bed and sleep lazily, if it is the kind of sleep after waking up, that feeling can still be multiplied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info especially in the case of being very tired the day before, when I woke up naturally in the early morning, the sun outside the window sprinkled on the quilt, warm, very smelly.
Although I was a little frightened the day before and was devoured by magic again, but fortunately, the amount of magic reserves in my intermediate magician's body is also quite large. Some talented mid-level mages can even use two or three high-level magic spirits in their bodies, and Erin is the best among them. In fact, Eileen fainted at that time mainly because it was the first time she encountered a high-level creature like a velociraptor and it was the first time she fought in actual combat. After being too nervous, I suddenly relaxed and fainted.
Erin looked around, it was her room. Bert carried her back to the village and went to the village chief's house and explained the reason to her father. The village chief is also a very sensible person, and after settling Erin, he invited Bert to have a meal at home. Originally, he wanted to stay with Bert for the night, but Bert was afraid that his father would worry, so he rushed home overnight. Thinking of Bert's stupid look when he saw her, Erin felt a little warm in her heart for some reason. When Erin wakes up, she finds a ghost orchid stuck in a vase on the table in her room.
At this time, in another village, a sloppy knight was whining at a teenager. "You said that you ran out all day, worked for someone for free for a day, and almost lost your life. Why didn't I even see the copper? Also, tell me about you stupid boy, who killed a velociraptor and didn't bring me the corpse. Do you know how much a dragon scale armor is worth? Do you know how many bottles of wine a kilogram of velociraptor meat can be exchanged for? If it weren't for Uncle Wang at the entrance of the village to help you bring back the goods you brought to sell, do you know how much money we would have to lose?" Bert looked helpless, since he came home last night, Celtic has not stopped nagging. In fact, Bert knew that he was distressed about the body of the velociraptor that the velociraptor was full of treasures, and the dragon tendons on its back were very tough, and it could be sold for several gold coins. As for the price of the whole dragon scale, it is a treasure that many blacksmiths dream of, it is simply priceless, after all, there are very few people who can kill a velociraptor dragon.
"Dad, you said that the carcass of a velociraptor can cover our expenses for a year, so why don't I draw you a map and pick it up." You also know that my martial arts are taught by you, I can kill a dragon, and as soon as you get out of the horse, don't you take their nests to them?" Bert, who listened to Celtic's nagging every day, had learned to start to treat others the way he did.
"You kid, dare to hurt me! Not to mention that I don't have a mount now, even if I have a mount in the forest, I can't charge. Besides, you still had an intermediate magician with you, what is a magician!That's a local tyrant!" Just kidding, even in the plains, ordinary knights can't beat velociraptors, unless it's a heavily armored knight in full steel armor. But in the case of Celtic, it is unlikely that they will have the money to buy steel armor.
In order to prevent his father from becoming angry, Bert hurriedly ran out of the house. I don't know what happened to Eileen, although the priest said that Erin was fine, but at that time she vomited a mouthful of blood. Bert was still very worried, thinking about whether to go to Staufen Village to see Eileen, but he was afraid that his status was too low to get close to Eileen. Although the village chief is still quite polite to himself, Bert, who was born poor, still has a deep sense of inferiority.
A few days passed like this, as if nothing had happened, and Bert went to the market every day, but he would stop slightly when he passed by the village chief's house. Celtic also drank every day and continued to teach Bert fighting skills.
It was another morning, and Bert, who had risen early, was preparing to leave for the village of Staufen. As soon as I walked to the entrance of the village, a familiar figure stood there, with light blue magic robes, jet-black hair, and charming facial features.
Although he hadn't seen him for a few days, it seemed like years had passed for Bert. Originally, Bert was ready to pretend to be a line when he met by chance, but when the girl stood in front of him, he still forgot what to say.
Looking at the dumbfounded boy in front of her, Erin smiled slightly. "Thank you for taking me home last time. ”
"Well, it's nothing, that's what I should have done, not to mention that I would have been eaten by a velociraptor without you. "I'm still a little embarrassed to face the girl Bert.
"I've been researching ghost orchids for the past few days, and I forgot to come to see you, thank you for helping me pick those flowers, which helped me a lot. Erin was also a little embarrassed, I don't know why every time I saw Bert, she always blushed and always wanted to escape, but when she didn't see him, her mind was full of him, and even the magic she had been obsessed with before couldn't arouse interest. Actually, Irene's not studying magic these days, but she doesn't know how to deal with Bert. Several times Eileen saw Bert standing on the corner through the window, and tried to call him, but she didn't dare.
The two looked at each other and were silent for a while, "That ......" In order to break this embarrassing scene, Bert, as a boy, still plucked up the courage to speak, "Then is there anything important that you came to Minoan so early today?"
"Well, one is to give you the reward I promised you last time, and the other is to invite you to escort me to the Capital Academy of Magic. Erin held out her hand and handed Bert a gold coin. "This time the road is quite far, but we take the official road, there should be no danger, so this time the commission is ten gold coins. In fact, the village chief had prepared dozens of people to escort Erin, but Ailin refused. The reason is that these dozens of people can defeat a velociraptor and so Eileen came to Bert alone, of course, for her own reasons.
"Ah, I didn't need that last time, it's just friends helping each other. Apparently Bert had left his father's nagging behind. "How can that be, you almost died for me, you deserve it. Take it!" said Eileen, grabbing Bert's hand and shoving the gold coin into his hand.
Bert wanted to refuse, but when Erin's hand grabbed him, he suddenly didn't want to pull it out, it turned out that the girl's hand was so soft, and Bert, who shook the girl's hand for the first time, turned red directly.
How could the clever and clever Erin not notice this embarrassing scene, and immediately withdrew her hand. "That'...... Are you willing to send me to the Academy of Magic?" It is not far from Minnow to the capital of Osland, and it only takes half a month to go back and forth, in fact, it is only a commission of five gold coins to hire ordinary mercenaries, and Eileen's ten gold coins are considered a lot of money.
"Then I'll go and discuss it with my father, after all, it's my first time going out and I need his permission. "Well, let's go, then. In which direction is your house?" "That...... Why don't you wait for me here, my father probably hasn't gotten up yet, and the house is quite chaotic. You're waiting for me here!" Bert flew home at a speed comparable to that of a velociraptor charge.
Celt was suddenly woken up by someone in a sweet dream, and a nameless anger came up, and when he opened his eyes and saw that it was Bert, he was just about to scold, and suddenly saw Bert holding a gold coin dangling in front of his eyes. "Where did this come from!wow!gold coins!, I haven't seen them in years!" Celtic grunted and sat up from the bed. "Boy, you're not going to steal people's money, are you! I tell you, we're noble knights!
Bert, who was accustomed to his father's nonsense, didn't pay attention to it, "It was given by the girl who hired me to pick ghost orchids before, saying that it was the commission last time." "Hey, there are such stupid people in this world who will send you money. If I had been, I would have run away. Bert threw a roll of the eye to his father. "And she hired me to escort her to the capital of Osland. In fact, Bert has no bottom, although his father is greedy for money, but after all, it is the first time he has gone far away, and he is going to a metropolis that he has never been to, and he is still quite worried that his father will not agree.
"This time the commission is ten gold coins. Afraid that his father would not agree, Bert hurriedly threw out a great temptation. However, what Bert didn't expect was that his father was not particularly excited when he heard the ten gold coins, which frightened Bert into thinking that his father was going to disagree.
Celtic got up and stood up, changing his usual appearance of being a child, and said nothing. Bert's heart hung in his throat, whether it was because he was going to the big city or because he wanted to be with Eileen, Bert really wanted to go with Eileen.
But Celt didn't say anything, and took out a wooden box from under the bed. There is also a flower engraved on this wooden box, and in Bert's impression he is not the kind of knight who likes flowers, and Bert has never seen this box before, judging from the dust on the box, it should not have been used for many years. So there's only one answer, and it's something his mother left behind.
"Child, you've grown up. It's time to go out for a walk, too. Celtic blew a breath, and the dust on the wooden box instantly filled the room. Bert listened to his father's tone, and felt as if his father, who had always been very young, had aged dozens of years in an instant. "This is what your mother left you, saying that when you have a career in the future, you have a girl you like, let me hand it over to you. ”
This...... This twist seems a bit quick......
"No, it's not like that! we're just ordinary friends......" Bert hastened to explain, and he was terrified that when his father opened the wooden box, it was full of things for girls.
Celt turned around and hammered, "What are you thinking? This is a letter from your mother! And an amulet made by your mother." ”
The wooden box was opened, containing several yellowed sheets of paper and a black stone encased. If Bert is not mistaken, this is probably a very rare obsidian.
