Chapter 31: The Years in the Valley

In the year 408 of the royal calendar, spring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After living in the Frost Valley for nearly half a year, Sido officially changed from primary magic to second-order magic practice, because second-order magic practice is far more complicated than first-order magic, and the consumption of magic power is extremely large, and it takes a lot of time to meditate to recover magic and improve mental power, Sido began to put down his swordsmanship. With Amon's permission, in addition to the necessary 2,000 swings of the sword every day, the morning jog was used to rest in order to recover from yesterday's mana consumption, and the evening practice time was spent reading a lot of magic books, magic circles, and the composition of spells.

In this way, Sido began a three-year magic practice, taught by the fifth-order magician Xia Na himself, even after many years, Sido still remembers the difficult days of the past few years, every day to practice until there is no magic left in the body, and he has to drink bitter and sour magic potions, which is simply a double torture of body and spirit.

At first, it was okay, but later because of Xana's physical reasons, she couldn't go out when it was too hot in summer, and she could only surround the fire when it was too cold in winter, so that after a year, Sido stayed in the house and was taught longer than outside, and although her swordsmanship did not lag behind, it also stayed at the level of a middle-level swordsman and could not be improved.

A year later, after the medicine carefully prepared by the old dwarf Ignaz, the cold in Xia Na's body was finally dispelled by most of it, because she practiced frost magic, and when she released the magic, she would accumulate some cold in her body, so throughout the year, Ignaz had been telling Xia Na not to release frost magic, and from time to time she sent flame grass, which was stuffed in her clothes and could provide a steady stream of heat to her body.

Amon has nothing to do every day, often basking in the sun with Kulo, walking in circles, chopping wood when he is busy, going to the frozen tundra to hunt monsters for the next week, and the furs and cores obtained from the hunt are used to exchange daily necessities with the dwarves, and oh, and most importantly, to prepare three meals a day for everyone, for which his cooking skills are greatly improved.

In the second year, the magic practice was still stuck in the second order, because of Sido's super talent for fire magic, he had begun to comprehend the third order of fire magic, and after learning about the power of the fourth order of fire magic in the magic books, one evening, Sido decided to practice the fourth order of magic, and as a result, the magic power in his body was consumed, and he lay in bed for three whole days. Even worse was Ignaz, because he was walking on his lawn when a meteorite suddenly destroyed most of the house, and the old dwarf had not yet come to his senses, and when he saw that it was his house, he sat on the threshold all night.

It is said that on the second day, Ignaz went to the mountains to worship the gods and told the gods about his sins of hundreds of years for a whole day.

After this magic incident, Sido once again put on the shackles of magic and locked the magic power firmly in the second order, and the subsequent cultivation was even more difficult, so that in the autumn of the third year, Sido was barely able to learn the third-order magic, according to Xana, he did have the appearance of a third-order magician, but he would never pass the third-order magician assessment.

In this year, Sido was sixteen years old.

The autumn atmosphere is just like the time scene, the green trees are still growing in the valley, occasionally there will be a cold wind blowing, large snowflakes fall from the frost valley, only to turn into a puddle of snow water as soon as it lands, the temperature in the valley is about ten degrees, but in the frost tundra, the climate has dropped to below zero.

September 20th.

A lot of things happened on this day, Xia Na received an invitation letter from the Red Lotus Mercenary Group, and the deputy head invited Xia Na to return to the Dick Kingdom and go to the southern valley in winter, the mercenary group received a new A-level mission, because most of the cadres of the mercenary group were not in the headquarters, after a series of reviews and transfers, the deputy head found that the S-class mercenary Xia Na had been living outside for three years, as the next head candidate in the group, it seems that everyone will be criticized for not doing something. Therefore, a letter from Hart, the deputy head of the Red Lotus Mercenary Regiment, arrived in Xia Na's hands three days later.

The latter impatiently opened it and threw it into the fire.

The second thing is about Xana's condition, Ignaz personally visited that day, after magic treatment and several years of recuperation, the cold in Xana's body was completely controlled, and the broken magic 'source' was also repaired, and the old dwarf Ignaz solemnly announced that from today onwards, there is no need to continue to take medicine, just pay attention to it often.

It was something to be happy about, but because of this, Xana had no reason to stay in Frost Valley.

The last thing about Sido, according to the Dick Kingdom, sixteen years old is already an adult, because of the relationship between practicing magic and swordsmanship, these three years have passed a little quickly, and before you know it, it will be autumn, and after this winter, Sido is already seventeen years old, and seventeen-year-old men in the empire can already join the army or participate in the engagement ceremony, and many young people from the Earl and Marquis' family have been engaged and are ready to get married on an auspicious day next year. And Xana's only apprentice, Sido, is still as immature as a big boy, and his perennial dealings with dwarves have made him more simple and honest, and if you ask him when he will get married, he will probably be blushing and speechless.

Afternoon.

The crisp autumn breeze was blowing in the valley, the melting snow was still moistening the Frosty Valley, on the roof, Kuro and Amon were still basking in the sun, and by the brook behind the house, Xana and Sido were also lying peacefully, the sun shining through the clouds on their faces, warm and warm to make people fall asleep.

The grasshopper jumped on Sido's face, and the boy opened his eyes and blew on the grasshopper on the tip of his nose, and the little grasshopper quickly jumped away again.

"Sister Xana, can I ask you a question?"

Xia Na was only a foot away from him, and she could reach it with her hand, she lay lazily on the grass, and said slowly, "What's the problem?"

Sido said, "Is there any magic in the world that interrupts time?"

Xia Na smiled: "Tearing through space and carrying out ultra-long-distance displacement, I've heard that the magic of blocking time seems to be something that no human can do, not even a god......"

"That means we'll never go back to the past, will we?"

"Hmph, what do you want to do with these things at a young age, you have to be a little more energetic at a young age, think more about how to work in the future to make money, how to marry a wife and have children, and we can't stay in the Frost Valley for a lifetime, we will have to leave here sooner or later. Shana glanced sideways at him, the boy who was not as good as her chest at first sight was now as tall as Amon, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, from a child to an adult, when Margmatt was still a cute little guy." ”

Sido also sighed: "Sister Xana is also old!"

Syllable!

There was a heavy blow on the head.

Xana glared at him: "Sister will always be eighteen years old!"

"Yes, yes, my lovely master will always be eighteen years old, you are the most beautiful and beautiful woman in the world, look, at this age, you still have such smooth skin, such a lovely face, no wrinkles at all, how do you look like a person who is almost forty, right?"

"I'm not yet thirty!"

"That's twenty-nine years old, after thirty, you have to run for four, no one wants it when you're old, even if Sister Xia Na is not in a hurry, I am also anxious for Sister Xia Na! If such a beauty is lonely and old, or marries a rich merchant marquis to be the second room, what a pity!" Sido smiled and said: "Sister Xia Na, why don't I introduce you to an excellent man, handsome and handsome, he can also cook good dishes, he is thrifty and honest in his house, and he is strong in martial arts and obedient to you, do you have any heart?"

Xana: "......"

Sido: "Even if you're not satisfied, I'll make a statement." ”

Xia Na glanced at him and said, "What do you know at a young age, when Master returns to the imperial capital, there are still a lot of people chasing him." ”

"I can't say that, there is a way that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the buildings near the water get the moon first, although I don't have money now, but when I find a part-time job as a magician, and then go to open a weapon shop, I have recently learned a lot of methods for casting weapons with Ignaz, as well as the refining method of holy gold, and I will definitely make a lot of money in the future!"

Shana pouted, "Hey, what's so good about that wood." ”

"Don't look at his usual woodwork, in fact, he always talks to me about you behind his back, saying that you are good or that, and you are a strange woman who cultivates both magic and martial arts, think about the food he cooks on weekdays, which one is not your favorite food? You once said that you don't like spinach, and since then he hasn't made spinach once, and do you remember that you especially like to eat grass carp for a while? Amon made fish dishes for a week, and I almost vomited......

"Hmph, you think I haven't eaten enough, you don't say, of course he doesn't know. ”

"Sister Xana, you've eaten enough!...... I have to talk to him about this matter," Sido turned over, put his chin on his hand, and said, "Sister Xana, if it is the reason for the gold coins, we can discuss it again, I can earn 10,000 gold coins and 20,000 gold coins, and I can't delay the major events in my life, Sister Xana...... Don't want a baby?"

Syllable!

Her forehead was flicked hard, and Xia Na said with a smile: "I know nonsense all day long, you are about to be taught badly by Ignaz!" The voice changed, and he said: "Tell you something, Master, I plan to go back to the imperial capital, do you want to go to the Red Lotus Mercenary Group with me, with my identity, I can recommend you to become a member of the Red Lotus Mercenary Group, do you know how many people want to join the Red Lotus Mercenary Group every year? Choose one hundred out of 100,000 people, the chance of one in a thousand...... Master is taking special care of you!"

Sido's face was overjoyed: "Really? I discussed ...... with Amun."

"No need to negotiate, we're not going. Amon's voice came from behind him.

Then, shadows obscured half of Xana's face, and Amon's skin seemed darker, and her dazzling blonde hair glistened in the sun. He lowered his head slightly, looked at Xia Na for a moment, and immediately moved to the creek, and said lightly: "Someone wrote to you in the morning, are you going back to the imperial capital?"

Shana frowned: "You're blocking me from basking in the sun." ”

Amon took a step back and said, "I won't agree to what you just said, no matter what, Sido can't go to the imperial capital. ”

Xia Na was a little displeased and said: "Can you not be so arbitrary, Sido is already an adult, why can't you give the child a chance to wander and live in the Frost Valley all day long, just like this for the rest of his life?"

"Only this matter is non-negotiable, and Cido and I will soon be leaving the Frost Valley. ”

"Leaving the Frost Valley?" Xia Na smiled angrily, "I see, you can go anywhere, but you don't want your child to be with me, right?"

"I didn't mean that...... Amon paused and said, "Ignaz said that your 'source' has not fully recovered, don't be quick to get angry. ”

"Why do you care about me!"

Amon was silent for a moment: "Okay, I don't care." ”

Xia Na's face turned red with anger, and she looked directly at the man: "You, come here!"

Amon glanced at her for some unknown reason before lowering his body...... His smooth hand grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to the ground, while the woman's arm locked his neck firmly.

Xia Na's voice came from his ears: "Listen to me?"

It was so close that she could barely hear the woman's breathing, and Amon was firmly trapped on the ground by her, his face against the lawn, looking very embarrassed.

"You...... Can...... Loosen...... A little ......"

"Humph!"

Instead, it tightened, and Xana snorted angrily at half of his face and blew into his ear.

Itchy and unable to scratch it, Amon gritted his teeth and held back, he couldn't last more than three seconds, and his face was covered with some warmth...... It seems to be Xana's cheeks.

"Listen to me?"

"Listen. ”

After some psychological struggle, the revolution was finally defeated by the beauty, and Amon disarmed and surrendered.
