Chapter 81: Running away
As Edward observed, Elsa stood up and began to remove her clothes from her clothes after looking around, revealing her bloody skin.
The Calamity Slime was just a drop of liquid that had melted into the blood on the ground, the same color as the blood that had flowed from the boss's wife, and it was right in front of Elsa.
Elsa's senses, no matter how sensitive, are unable to perceive gazes from outside of this timeline.
The negative is a strange being that can wander through the long river of time, it can communicate with Edward without barriers, and it can also see and feel everything that happens in the normal timeline clearly and instantly. What Elsa notices is the negative in the normal timeline, and the negative has a way to be silent, but it's not necessary.
Edward's target was Elsa, but because of the lack of sound, Edward only saw a very vague image, and what he saw in the Calamity Slime's body was the same red blueprint as before.
There wasn't much to see, and Edward just remembered the other person's movements to tell that Elsa was undressing, and then tilted his head and made a motion.
Edward couldn't tell if this action was eating or something else, and after a few minutes, the temperature on the other party's body began to change slightly, and then he bent down, probably to take the clothes, but it could also be searching for the things on the female boss.
The vision was too blurry, and when Elsa left, Edward still didn't get any valuable information.
The Calamity Slime couldn't leave for long, and Edward, after feeling that there was nothing to do, asked the Calamity Slime to blow up the clone.
Calamity Slime's body is very special, each piece is a core, and it can grow into a whole existence, but it can only control one piece at the same time, or a whole.
It would be very inconvenient to control that part if it was left here, so Edward let the blood drop blow up after feeling that Elsa should be gone.
It was just a small drop of blood, and the power of the explosion was very small, just a small wave in the pool of blood.
"There is that demonic creature among the dead people in the cloth shop, and the temple on the third floor, the soldiers here can't think that this is a general fight after discovering this, and the best way to calm things down is to calm things down. The king here must know about some mages, and even there are official first-level mages in this place, and they must know about the things in the temple, and my danger should not be great. ”
Edward went to a medium-sized tavern, asked for a room, went into the room to rest, and refused the maid's offer of service, this place is indeed a legal place.
The original clothes were wrapped in cloth and held in Edward's hands, but now Edward is like an adventurer with baggage, and on the way upstairs, he also encounters several malicious glances, which makes Edward feel that he should buy a weapon.
The delay on his body made Edward just do his own thing, so in the eyes of the maid, Edward was a very cold person, and after entering the house, he closed the door directly and almost touched her.
After Edward calmed down, he began to meditate.
Meditation can be divided into many categories, and it can be divided into two types in terms of how it works, one is the cycle of magic that strengthens the whole body over and over again with magic power.
The circulation of mana is to make the body more in line with the operating conditions of mana, so that the human body has higher mana storage conditions, and also let the human body move further from flesh and blood creatures to energy creatures.
This method is decent, there is no danger, but the talent is very important, and the effect is slow, because many mages will use foreign objects or directly abandon their physical bodies, so there are not many mages who take this path, but there are many priests, and the kind of violent priest who can beat a strong man to death with a fist is a normal priest.
The other is to constantly absorb and release the corresponding magical elements to strengthen one's core, so that it has a stronger capacity and affinity for the magic breath, which is generally said to be the kind of meditation.
Of course, the latter also depends on talent, and as a mage, you can't do it without talent.
Meditation and magic cycles are both into a state of mind, the former because of the relationship between releasing and absorbing magical elements, the movement is not small, while the latter is only in the body to complete the cycle, very hidden.
Edward summoned the Lightning Goblins, which are also a creature in this area, a creature that can be used to rob and trade.
This is especially true for the Lightning Goblin, whose ordinary people only have the same combat power as ordinary humans, and it is able to fight a full-fledged mage for a while.
The Lightning Goblin stood guard in front of the door after it appeared, and the Lightning Goblin who had been trained by Edward knew very well what he should do when there were no enemies.
After summoning the Lightning Goblin, Edward summoned the Calamity Slime, causing the slime to turn into blood and swell, directly dyeing the floor of the house red.
After doing this, Edward began to perform a mana cycle, converging the mana in the five cores at a slow speed in his chest, and then began to flow along the mana circuit.
While Edward was practicing, a group of young men also took advantage of the darkness to enter a mansion, and when they got out of the carriage, they carried down two long wooden boxes.
The group quickly closed the door and gathered in a room.
"The guards don't have anything out of the ordinary, so they don't seem to have told the soldiers about us. The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face as he thought about what was next.
The people around were also relieved, and then a young woman was not happy, "Bette, it's all your fault, that person saw my face, if he recognized me, it would be troublesome!"
"What is this! When the time comes, we will testify to you that it was the adventurer who molested you, and then we called you to be reprimanded, because of malice. Besides, we are all nobles, and we have pure noble blood flowing in our veins! how could the king trust that outsider?"
Everyone around them laughed, this was their territory.
"All right, it doesn't matter if the king believes us or not, the most important thing now is to wait for Matthews to come, as long as Matthews can become a mage, we will all have fun!" a teenager quieted everyone and said words of encouragement.
Everyone was obviously very concerned about that Matthews, and after hearing it, they began to wait patiently, and the contents of the two boxes surrounded by everyone were the things used by Matthews.
While everyone was waiting for Matthews, a young man named Matthews was entering the Earl's Court with a middle-aged man.
The Earl, an old man with gray hair, was talking to Matthews at this time.
"Matthews, you've been getting too close to Bate's guys lately. The Earl gave Matthews a proper reminder.
Matthews was a teenager, a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was very restrained in front of the earl, but the expression on his face was a little disapproving, "Lord Earl, Bate, they are just getting me used to the life of a mage, and when I come into contact with those mages in the future, it is very necessary to have a good manners." ”
The Earl is not a person who has never seen the world, and at this time, he has lost the expectation of Matthews in an instant.
"You're right, I was negligent in this regard. The Count stopped saying anything about the nobles, and moved on to something other important, "How are you learning the magic words?"
As a kingdom under the Silver City, the Fruda Kingdom is not as ignorant of mages as the surrounding countries, and some of the great nobles of the kingdom are also extremely eager for those mages who have great power, and it is not normal not to understand.
Each country will provide a large number of fresh blood to the floating islands above after a certain period of time, and these fresh blood are those teenagers and girls with mage qualifications, so everyone also has some basic information in hand.
Normally, one out of every ten people has a mage's qualification, but the true percentage is much less than that.
In a kingdom of tens of millions, it is not difficult to select a few hundred people from the working-age population each year.
The population of the Fluda Kingdom is mostly in the nearby noble territories, and among all the nobles, the largest territory is the area under the direct jurisdiction of the king, and this imperial capital is the most populous territory, and it is also the place with the highest gold content in the Fluda Kingdom.
The king didn't dare to play with fire, and he didn't have the strength and capital to cultivate mages, plus there were already mages in the palace, so he didn't pay attention to some things, didn't oppose them, didn't support them.
Mages are not that easy to cultivate, and Matthews was just lucky enough to get a magic item, a worn-out magic item that only those with mage qualifications can use.
Then Matthews went from being a shepherd in the barony to becoming an emerging darling now active in the imperial capital.
Matthews' study materials were not provided by the Earl, and if he wanted the old man to place a bet, Matthews' current performance was not enough.
"Not yet, but I think I'll get it done soon! It's just a few words!" Matthews couldn't say that his head hurt when he looked at the words, but Matthews believed that he was a genius, as is the case in knight novels, and Matthews thought he was a natural mage.
The Earl has already determined the value of Matthews, and it is still okay to use it to keep some bloodline, but as for the value of cultivation, there is none.
As a nobleman, the Count had more than thirty adult children, and the Count didn't mind adding a little more possibility of a mage to his descendants.
"You haven't met Catherine yet, have you? Now Catherine should be back, you can get to know each other. "Of the Earl's current children, there is no marriage, and only Catherine is of the right age and other aspects.
"I'm sorry, it's too late today, I still have some things to take care of. Matthews refused the earl, and he made an appointment with Bate and the others to meet at Bate's house today, Bate was a good man, and it was Bate who let Matthews know what aristocratic life was, and also gave Matthews a taste of the wonderful taste of a noble woman.
......
"The wind is blowing......"
Sensing the raging wind outside, Edward retreated from his meditative state, looking through the glass window at the crowd below who had become chaotic due to the wind.
The wind felt bad to Edward, because it came too suddenly and violently.
It was a naturally occurring wind, and Edward didn't feel the magic or anything like that.
"Let's go clubbing tomorrow, I feel like things are going to be in trouble. ”
Because he decided to hurry up tomorrow, Edward did not continue to meditate, and meditation was not a substitute for rest.
