Chapter 33: Breaking the Ice

Chapter 33: The First Day of Together: Breaking the Ice

After calming down for a moment, Carl returned to the bedroom, by which time Miku had already put on her pajamas and sat on the bed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"You go to sleep, leave me alone. ”

Karl said a word to her, and then sat down in his chair, his right hand in a fist with his face, and his left hand tapping slowly on the tabletop, and after a while the tapping stopped, as if he were asleep.

Miku carefully got into the quilt, looking at Carl's motionless back, a trace of confusion crossed her eyes, and after a long while, he still didn't move, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and the strong feeling of fatigue and the soft and warm quilt quickly put her to sleep.

Carl entered the Void Shard shortly after sitting on the chair, as long as she was "nearby" Miku, she would definitely not rush to find death, so Carl boldly chose to break away from consciousness.

Or an empty platform.

"Why didn't you stare outside and run in. Patchouli asked, tilting her head.

"I have my own business. Karl spread his hands, "I feel like I'm going to have a big breakthrough right away." ”

"Oh?" said Patchouli's mouth with a slight arc.

"Fireballs, wind bombs, candlelight, dimness, relief. Karl said slowly, forcefully.

Red balls of flame, transparent air, bright white balls of light, twisted bands of black smoke, and blue clouds of mist rose one by one around Carl.

Carl took a deep breath and said, "The six elements, now only the earth magic I haven't mastered, if I learn them all, maybe I can comprehend more." ”

After listening quietly, Patchouli shook her head: "It's a good idea, but it still needs chance." ”

With a flick of his finger, a dark green prismatic crystal appeared in front of his fingertips, and Carl could feel that this crystal contained a very strange power, but he couldn't understand it completely.

"This is the Philosopher's Stone Wood. Pache withdrew her finger, and the prismatic crystal disappeared directly, "The Philosopher's Stone is a true miracle produced by combining it with alchemy after mastering the top-level attribute magic. The more you know, the more real it will be. ”

"The road is to be taken step by step. Karl smiled.

"Here, you want it. Patchouli tossed the two books she had at hand to Carl.

Standard spell book earth wall.

Pache Elli's research notes on the earthen wall technique.

"You already knew I was going to choose this spell?" Karl asked, surprised.

I received my research notes in the ring, and I wouldn't have looked at it until I had learned the art of earth walls.

Patchouli gave him a meaningful look, "You and I are actually very similar. ”

Like?

Carl muttered, "I'm not a dead house. ”

A red crossroads burst out of Patchouli's head: "Get out!"

Carl hid in the corner and meditated on the earth wall technique, this spell is to create a soil wall with a maximum of two meters, three meters wide, and half a meter thick, which has a fairly good blocking effect for common crossbows, but the delay time between the completion of the spell release and the effective effect is several seconds, which is very inconvenient, and the warrior can choose to turn over and bypass the earth wall in the face of the earthen wall, and it is okay to push down directly if the power is large, so this skill is actually quite chicken.

After all, it's just a ring of magic.

Karl's current panel-

Name: Carl

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Mana: 111/111 (90+21)

Power point: 4871

The speed at which a mage can master a spell is not static, and the more you master, the faster you will learn.

In just a few hours, Karl was able to channel the earth elemental to form a very fragile earth wall, and although it had no effect, the spell manifestation meant that it was not far from completion.

Learning spells is a tedious but rewarding thing, and watching the elements of Discord combine into orderly magic in their own adjustments, sometimes Carl really admires the creators of these spells, which is something that no one else can do.

"Wake up. As Carl was immersed in the study of spells, Patchouli's voice woke him up.

"I've got all the feelings. Karl opened his eyes and complained.

In fact, it's still a lot short of mastering spells, but it's human nature to push pots.

Pache smashed a tome into Carl's head.

"I was wrong. Carl apologized sincerely.

"She's awake, it's time for you to get out. ”

Patchouli had an extra blue-purple dress in her hand, a white scarf tied into a simple knot on her chest, and the style of the dress was exactly the same as the clothes that Miku had worn before.

"Take it. ”

"Did you make this out of matter?"

"What do you say?" Patchouli glanced at him.

"Oh. Karl looked up at the lightless void, "Leave!"

The sky had turned white, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtain on the girl's face.

"Hmm......" Mijiu let out a soft ** sound.

The warm and comfortable bed made her reluctant to leave, but soon Miku Yoyo remembered her current situation.

With one hand to prop up his body, the other hand rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and the not-so-tall back in front of the desk did not move a little like a stone statue.

[This person is so strange.] ]

Miku grabbed the pajamas on her chest.

[What does he want to do?]

Miku lifted the quilt and got out of bed, the soft carpet stimulated the girl's feet, the heating made the room not look cold, the girl cautiously walked up to Carl and looked at him secretly from the side.

"Good morning. Karl, who was like a statue, suddenly opened his eyes.

"......" Miku took a step backwards and slammed into the floor lamp in the corner, letting out a painful snort.

"You seem to be a little scared of me?" Karl glanced sideways at her, "Last night's incident was just an accident, so please don't worry about it." ”

The girl nodded her head lightly with tears in her eyes.

"Relief. Karl raised his hand, and a cloud of blue mist descended from Mikuku's head, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Mijiu tugged at the hem of her clothes with both hands, looking a little overwhelmed.

Karl stood up, walked past the girl, and forcefully pulled open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, and the bright sunlight and cold air poured into the room.

I stretched my body for a while, and I felt that all my limbs and bones had awakened, and it was another energetic day.

When the cold wind blew on the girl, it made her shiver slightly.

"I'm sorry. Carl realized that he seemed to get carried away and closed the floor-to-ceiling windows again.

Taking out the clothes made by Pache from the ring and placing them on the back of the chair, Carl walked out of the bedroom: "Change your clothes quickly, I'll wait for you." ”

Mijiu reached out to pick up the familiar but unfamiliar clothes, with a complicated look in her eyes, and finally changed her clothes, and could only take one step at a time.

The girl walked out of the bedroom, and Karl looked up at her, gave her a thumbs up, opened the door, and reached out to make a gesture of please.

Carl and Miku walked side by side on the spiral staircase up and down the stairs of the hotel, and Yarman was on standby within 100 meters of Carl, but he didn't show up in front of anyone.

Carl only issued him a mission to protect Miku.

Because Carl has a characteristic, when he does something, he will become more and more focused, and later on, he will not even pay attention to the situation around him.

After going down to the first floor.

"Where's the restaurant?" Carl casually called out to a passing waiter.

"Please go this way. The waiter led two people to a dining area on the first floor.

Breakfast was a buffet of choice, Carl took a little and sat down, although Carl had never been to such a high-class place, but to be honest, these free ones were no better than the breakfast that Miss Mary of Felton City prepared every day for a few mages who would not take care of themselves.

Miku looked a little reserved, and sat down across from Carl after taking something about the same.

Karl performed a simple ritual before picking up his food and starting to eat.

Miku wrote a few words in the small notebook and pushed it in front of Carl.

Are you religious?

"Nope. Karl swallowed a loaf of bread with milk, "Just thanking the cook and God for the food, I often don't do anything ritualistic unless it's easy." ”

Mijiu smiled faintly and performed the same etiquette as Carl before she began to eat slowly.

"Well, the first thing I do today is to go to the trade association. ”

Carl casually pulled out a map from the door of the hotel and took it in his hand.

He was going to go over to see if Chebman's caravan was there, and if so, he was going to go over and get his luggage back, and the rest didn't matter, mainly the flute and basic textbooks that Carol had given him.

It was a gift from his friend.

"How's this way going?"

Carl looked at a few landmarks he could see, memorized them, closed his eyes and began to build a virtual model, and only after a while did he start searching for the map.

Southwest.

I'll go to Miku and hand a torn piece of paper to Carl.

"That's great. Karl touched the girl's head.

Led by Mijiu, Carl soon arrives at the Guild's residence in CΓ‘rdenas, which is larger and more populated than the Guild in Lobito.

Karl took Miku's shoulders and squeezed through the crowd to a window that said "Caravan Registry."

"Is there any news of the Chebman caravan?" Karl asked.

When the counter lady saw the robe on Carl's body, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied with a "wait a minute" and began to quickly flip through it.

"It's been a week since we arrived. "The counterlady rummaged for a few minutes and finally found the name of the 'Chebman Caravan'.

"Where to find him. Karl popped into the window for a silver coin.

After receiving the tip, the other party's attitude was obviously much more enthusiastic: "You should stay at the Merchant's Home Hotel, his goods are mainly for the event organizers, and generally speaking, he will not run around." ”

"Merchant House Inn. Carl read the name.

Rustling, Miku tears off a piece of paper from her notebook and hands it to Carl.

I know where

"Then it's up to you. Karl said.

Miku nodded.

The Merchant's House Inn, not far from the Trade Association, was a temporary residence for merchants, and now that the celebration is approaching, it is also full.

Fortunately, this time it went well, and Karl saw at a glance the fat man Chebman who was talking to another thin merchant at the door.

Karl stepped forward and patted the fat man: "Long time no see." ”

Chebman turned his head to see Carl and was startled: "Ah, you, you're not ......"

"I don't have anything else to do, I'm just asking if my luggage is still there?"

Carl rubbed a small flame in his hand.

"Ah, yes, I'll keep it right, you wait for me. The fat man hurriedly ran into the hotel. That's fast, it's fast.

A small burden was handed to Carl, who opened it slightly and looked at it, nodding in satisfaction.

"Thank you. Karl took the burden into the ring, and gave the fat man four gold coins.

"This ......"

"That's what I'm supposed to pay. Karl interrupted him and dragged Miku away.

After Carl left, the fat man sighed: "Alas, it really happened." ”

The thin merchant next to him asked curiously, "Do you know that little brother just now?" ”

"Yes, alas, don't mention the past. ”

It didn't take much effort for Carl to get what he wanted to recycle, and he was in a good mood.

As she walked along the road by the Yorum River, Miku Riyoyo followed Karl and touched him gently.

"Huh?" Karl glanced back at him.

I'm useful, silent handwriting asking strange questions.

"Don't be so melancholy. Carl patted Miku's back, "I'm sure you're not a person who exudes negative energy all day. ”

Miku's expression became strange for a moment, and then she turned her head slightly.

Carl suddenly grabbed Miku's hand: "There seems to be some activity ahead, let's go and see together." ”

Mijiu tried a little hard, but she couldn't break free, so she could only let Carl drag her to the front.

A bunch of people were watching and cheering, and a few men, women and children sat on a small stool by the river to fish, and just a young girl fell into a crucian carp with more than 30 kilograms, which was the largest one caught since the beginning of the event.

"Do you want to try it? Karl was a little tempted.

Miku shook her head with some resistance.

"Oh!"

The crowd cheered again, and Karl looked intently as a stout mercenary man pulled out of the river a huge, seemingly nearly 100-kilogram fish, with a rod in both hands.

"Antoine has caught a 102-kilogram black salmon!" a man who looked like a surveyor announced loudly as he placed the fish on a mechanical platform.

"Come on, Aubrey, don't be crushed!"

"A hundred kilograms of big fish, this time Antoine has won!"

"I believe in Connie more!"

The crowd was noisy, as if there was some kind of game going on here, and gradually Carl was also infected with excitement and followed behind.

Although Carl is usually a calm mage, he is only a fifteen-year-old or sixteen-year-old boy after all, and he is easily infected by the atmosphere of the crowd.

Miku was left aside, a little helpless and standing in place.

"Come on, let's see the fun. Carl glanced back and saw that Miku was still standing, so he pulled her.

"Oh, Julie is beautiful, 113 kilograms!" The silver-haired girl looked at the screams of the teenager next to her, showing a look of helplessness and embarrassment.

When Carl saw this, he lit a fireball and threw it into the air to explode.

The audience instantly cooled down and then became more lively.

"Behold, here is a little mage. ”

"One more, one more!

Carl was now very excited: "Okay! If anyone can catch a bigger fish, I'll fry one!"

Someone also noticed Miku.

"This little mage's girlfriend is so beautiful!"

"That's a blessing for people, it just looks a little familiar. ”

Miku buried her head in Carl's arms in some fear.

Karl gently stroked the girl's long silky hair and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

Miku's body stiffened, and then she hammered Carl a few times.

However, Carl only felt that it was a very comfortable massage.

A low-key old man suddenly burst out laughing at this time: "Hahaha, I have obtained the magic weapon of victory, and I have the chance to win!

"Oh oh is that?!"

"The legendary king of fish of the Yorum River. ”

"A giant fish that no one has caught in more than 20 years!"

A large number of undulations and bubbles began to appear on the surface of the river.

The old man stood up and pulled the rod up hard, and the sturdy rod was pulled into a dangerous arc.

Old man Diem's face turned red and shouted, "Come and help!"

"Hurry up!" The other contestants also gave up their fishing rods and went together to help the old man fight against the huge pull from the river.

A huge fish head has been pulled out of the water, and the crowd has successfully pulled the king fish up.

"Oh no, the rod is breaking!" shouted a young male player.

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, there was a trace of undetectable cracks on the fishing rod. This is a precursor to a broken fishing rod!

"Wind, water!" Carl immediately began simple elemental control, pushing the king fish out of the water and using the wind elemental to hold it up.

The huge weight frantically consumed Carl's mana, but after adding an extra layer of buffer, everyone finally secured the safety of the fishing rod and worked together to drag the king of fish out of the deep water.

The mercenary man jumped into the water with a huge five-meter fishing net, and dragged the king of fish to the shore.

Capture complete.

Carl gasped heavily, tired like a bellows, and felt a little headache from excessive mental power consumption, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

"The winner is, Old Deem!" a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man announced loudly, "He will receive 20 gold coins and a ticket to the first-class audience of the Youth Tournament! Antoine will receive the best assist award, 10 gold coins and a ticket to the first-class audience of the world's No. 1 Martial Arts Association!"

Then the middle-aged man walked up to Carl and held up one of his hands: "Best Audience Award-"

Karl gasped as he said, "Carl." ”

"Best Audience Award, Carl, a fish! ”

"Hey, I want that. Karl pointed to a small fish that was only two fingers long, and this little fish with red and gold veins was very beautiful.

"The best audience chose the little red golden carp caught by Soya, and Soya won a lucky prize, rewarding 10 gold coins and a ticket to a food competition!"

"Oooh!" cheered the audience.

Miku took a handkerchief and gently wiped the cold sweat on Carl's head, she couldn't understand the mysterious teenager in front of her, he could be as calm as a piece of ice, and as enthusiastic as fire and as uninhibited as the wind.

The red gold carp was packed in a small fish tank and handed to Carl, who handed it to Miku, "I'll give it to you." ”

Miku's face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

After the King of Fish Competition, there are thousands of kilograms of fish meat that can be eaten, including the King of Fish, and more than a dozen chefs, including most of the contestants, have rich experience in handling fish, and they have processed these fish of various sizes in just over an hour.

In a clearing by the river, a campfire was erected, and Karl took two grilled fish from a shelf and returned to the corner, where Miku sat with a small fish tank next to it.

"Would you like something to eat?" Karl handed her a grilled fish.

Miku raised her hand and pushed away the grilled fish and shook her head.

"Don't you like it?"

Rustle.

Can't eat

Can't eat it?Karl took a grilled fish rack back and hit a bowl of fish soup.

This time, Miku didn't refuse, took it and tasted it, and drank the fish soup.

"Actually, I feel that the fish soup is a bit light. Karl said casually.

It just so happened that Miku wrote two words in the notebook.

"Okay, well, I remember this saltiness. Karl shrugged.

After a day of activities today, I still feel a little tired, Carl put the carp tank on the desk and touched Mijiu's head: "You take a shower first, I'll wash it later." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the bedroom.

Carl took out the flute and the basic textbook, and showed a hint of interest in his eyes, maybe he should master a musical instrument.

[The more you know, the more real what you can see. 】

This "more" is not just "useful knowledge", at least Carl knows, Patchouli reads any book, and has a wide range of knowledge.

How does this work?

Open the textbook......

After a while, a shrill high voice erupted, echoing throughout the room.

"I ......"

Carl looked at the flute in his hand speechlessly, the sound was almost explosive!

I think I can. Carl silently cheered himself up.

"Z-" It didn't take long for another super hard to hear and a shrill high note.

At this time, Miku Yoyo walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing that she was wet and only wrapped in a bath towel, she seemed to be in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Carl handed her the notebook and pen.

Rustle.

Ugly!!!

The first time I saw the punctuation marks of the lure Meijiu, it was a series of exclamation points.

Karl coughed lightly and hid the flute.

The girl held out her hand to Carl and stared at him silently.

"You haven't changed your clothes yet. Karl said as he covered his eyes with his hands.

It's just that the finger seams are a little wide.

Miku, who turned red, turned around and walked back to the bedroom.

Kalmer counted 200 seconds before walking in.

Miku had already changed into her pajamas and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at him.

"Yes, yes, yes. Carl pulled the flute out of his sleeve and handed it to Miku, "I'm going to take a shower, can you go out." ”

Miku opened her mouth with the flute, as if she didn't expect Karl to do this.

Karl burrowed into the bathroom, took off a mage robe, and removed a badge from it. Carl took it in his hand and looked at it, and then again, it was time for him to take this badge to upgrade.

Carl soaked himself in the bathtub and let out a pleasant hum, accompanied by the rhythm of the melodious music, and the tiredness of the day seemed to be dissipated by the wind.

Carl came out of the bathroom, changed into his pajamas, yawned, and sure enough, he was still a little tired.

But the music is really good, soothing, short, low, high. Carl couldn't help but listen.

Carl was stunned, wiped his head with a towel, and walked to the reception room.

Under the crystal lamp, the girl's silky long hair exudes a violet luster, setting off her beauty and posture like the person in the painting, her eyes are slightly closed, her long eyelashes tremble slightly, and a pair of plain white jade hands are raised and gently press the flute, lowering her head and playing quietly.

"It's ...... Good. Karl swallowed and turned his head with difficulty.

Miku opened her eyes when she heard the voice, looked at the flute in her hand in a daze, and after a while, shook her head with a lonely expression, returned the flute to Carl, rushed directly into the bedroom, and threw herself on the bed.

Tears soaked the soft quilt, but not a single cry could be heard.

[Why praise me.] ]

[I'm just a good-for-nothing girl except for singing.] ]

[I've ...... Lost voice. ]
