Chapter Ninety-Four: Cooperation with Sophia
This extraordinary fish-man wizard raised the coral staff in his hand and muttered something to himself. A short time later, a wave of energy came from the Coral Staff. This brewing force brought a strong sense of crisis to Eric.
This time, the feeling was even stronger than when he was attacked by the "Dawn Sacred Sword".
"I knew it wasn't going to be easy!" said Eric felt like something was missing in the process of stealing the fish-man's eggs, even though the process was dangerous.
When he met the fish-man wizard, Eric knew something was missing: he hadn't met the powerful presence of the fish-men.
There was more than one of these fish-man wizards, and I don't know what these fish-man wizards were doing before, but now they are emerging from the surrounding sea one after another.
Erik, who knew that he couldn't delay, raised his right hand before the fish-man wizard successfully released the magic, and preemptively released the "soul moth" to the fish-man wizard and activated the "Ring of the Dead", Eric, who felt a little dizzy in his brain.
Because Eric had already used a lot of one-ring magic before, and the release of the "Soul Moth" was a cross-level spell, Eric's spiritual power quickly dried up.
The fish-man wizard who was attacked by the "soul moth" let out a terrible scream, and then blue blood flowed from his eye sockets, and he fell silently and sank back into the sea.
Eric, who passed by the fish-man wizard, copied the coral staff that the other party had dropped, and sped away towards the shore.
Just now, Eric deliberately took advantage of the fish-man wizard's spell to activate the "Ring of the Dead". In this way, not only will the "Soul Moth" hurt the Fishman Wizard, but the Counterattack that is forcibly interrupted will hurt the Fishman Wizard even more.
If it weren't for the conditions, Eric would have gouged out the fish-man wizard's eyeballs, which are very precious alchemy materials, and the "underwater breathing potion" made from this material not only comes with "diving goggles", but also has a longer duration of action.
The closer to the shore, the fewer the number of fish-men, and Eric, who was a little drowsy, ran away in one go, and on the way he didn't know how many fish-man warriors died under his sword.
Finally, after leaving the Fishmen's territory, the Fishmen gave up the pursuit. Eric, however, did not stop until he ran back to the hut agreed upon by Crawford, where he lay limp on the ground and began to gasp for air.
At this time, there were still two or three hours before dawn, and Crawford came out of the cabin, looked at Eric on the ground, and said, "It's a lot sooner than I expected, and I thought you would have to come back at least as soon as dawn." ”
"Your information is a bit inaccurate, and you didn't tell me that there are high-level fish-man wizards in the Golden Creek Manor. Eric gasped.
Crawford approached Eric, picked up his backpack and said, "We can't be blamed for this, there were three people who found the way, but only one came back, and he died soon after. ”
After lying on the ground for a while, Eric stood up and said to Crawford, "What else is there to do?
"I'll go look for you, you go back first. Seriously, even if you don't complete the mission this time, as long as you come back alive, you will be counted as having completed the mission. I didn't expect you to do it, how did you avoid those fishmen?" asked Crawford.
Eric shook his head, didn't answer the question, and turned away.
Crawford glanced at the Coral Staff that Eric was holding in his hand and said to himself, "That guy will definitely die of hunger when he finds out." ”
Returning home, Eric fell asleep, and Eric had a dream in which the fishmen and even the giant fish-man wizard appeared, and it set off a huge wave that trapped him in a water ball.
Eric, who felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, suddenly opened his eyes, only to find Emily pinching his nose with her hand.
"Shet, I was really tired yesterday, and my body didn't even have the slightest alertness, but fortunately it's Emily, if I don't have good intentions, I'm not in danger!" Eric thought when he woke up.
In fact, his worries were unnecessary, Emily did not approach him with any malice, otherwise, he who has been practicing martial arts and magic all year round, his body will naturally give birth to inductions.
After getting up, Eric found that it was not only Emily who came to his house alone, but also Sophia, the old butler Tulle, and Al, as well as a few girls that Eric didn't know. These girls are not very old, and they are all dressed in strong clothes.
The men were pointing at the ironwood in the backyard.
"These pieces of iron and wood are broken by human kicking. Tulle, the butler, after carefully examining the ironwood in the courtyard, spoke to Sophia.
Sophia nodded, shocked to hear it. The butler Tulle continued: "I said that this kid has an unusual background, and he even has a knight's heritage, I think you can ask him for help. ”
Shaking her head, Sophia said softly: "Let's see the situation! I don't know if he got up, we came in without the master's consent, I don't know if he will blame us!"
"I'm too late to be happy when the 'tulips' from Laika City come to my house, how can I not be happy! These people are...," Eric asked, looking at the half-grown girls in their suits.
"These are my future members of the Order, and I intend to re-establish the Order, and this time I will have my own estate, and my father's things will be my father's after all. How's that? they're all qualified!" Sophia's expression seemed much more cheerful than it had been some time ago.
"I, hehe, I don't look at people's talents, but I think they were personally selected by you, and they are not bad in talent, by the way, why did you come here with Emily?" Eric didn't believe that Sophia, a cold-looking woman, would come to the home of the gossip hero at this time.
"We want a health potion!" Answering Eric's question was the butler Thule.
Hearing this, Eric stared at Sophia and Tulle for a long time before he spoke, "How do you know?"
"I'm sorry, Eric, I told Sophia, I was secretly using it, but Sophia found out, and I didn't want to lie to her, so... So.... Emily said as she stood beside Eric and sobbed softly.
"So you betrayed me, didn't you?" said Eric, grimacing, and took Emily's hand away from her eyes.
Sure enough, Emily's crying was just a pretense, but when she saw Eric's straight face, her face became flustered.
Seeing this, Eric hurriedly spoke: "Okay, okay, blame me for not telling you not to tell others." Next time, remember, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, someone will sneak you away and make you move large and heavy ores. ”
"Giggles... You're talking about Harold the robber!" Sophia chuckled a few times after hearing Eric scare Emily.
The chuckling Sophia is like a blooming lily, beautiful, elegant, and deeply enchanting.
Sophia, who noticed Eric staring at her, gave Eric a blank look, then turned her head and walked towards the apprentice knights. Butler Tulle looked at Eric meaningfully and laughed twice.
Eric, who was a little embarrassed by Thule, covered up his embarrassment with a few coughs: "Ahem, cough... Grandpa Thule, since you already know that I can make health potions, I won't say anything hypocritical, how are you going to buy my health potions?"
Thule pondered for a while before he spoke: "We want to buy the formula of the strengthening potion, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to our offer first." Sophia doesn't have a lot of wealth, so she can't spare money to buy health potions, but she's willing to make you half the owner of the manor!"
"What do you mean?" asked Eric with a frown.
"It's the manor established by Sophia herself, and you are half the owner, but the claim of this matter to the outside world says that you are half an investor in Sophia's manor. Thule explained.
Eric thought for a moment and asked Thule, "But I can't think of any good for me, what's the use of being a plain half of the manor?"
"Hehe, you suddenly participated in the Imperial Knight Examination, you must not be working for the Empire to join the army, right? Your idea should be to build a manor and form a knight order, and then think that it will be much easier to do anything, right?" said Tulle with a look of pearl in his hand.
After looking at Eric's reaction and seeing that Eric did not deny this statement, Thule continued: "Building a manor is not a simple matter, and even if Sophia's conditions are countless times better than yours, it will take a lot of energy and financial resources. While buying an already built estate outright can save you a lot of money, is that what you want?
Sophia just wants to do something, I don't think there will be any conflict between you, not to mention that Sophia's energy is basically focused on training the Knights. ”
Eventually, Eric agreed to Tulle's terms, and his main purpose in building the manor was to make life more comfortable for Caroline's family, regardless of himself.
When Tulle told Sophia about Eric's agreement, Sophia's face flushed for no apparent reason.
"What did this old man say to Sawyer?" Eric was a little surprised by Sophia's reaction.
"Oops!"
Eric looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a girl who was older than Emily, knocked to the ground by Emily.
"Emily, you're so good, what's the trick just now?" asked the girl who had been knocked to the ground quickly stood up and looked at Emily with admiration on her face.
Emily cocked her head and said, "This is what I stole from Eric!"
As she spoke, Emily made a few more moves, making people look very imposing.
Eric sweated in his heart, wondering when Emily had stolen his Panrangu Muay Thai, but the posture was really accurate, could this be a talent excellence?
After the move, Emily secretly glanced at Eric a few times, and found that Eric didn't blame her, so she went even more crazy to perform the tricks she had stolen.
"Is this your skill?" Sophia didn't know when she came to Eric's side.
