Section 26 The Temple of the Eagle of the West Wind

Xiuma's face was painful, her mouth was open and she kept sticking out her tongue, and when she saw the cup of sunset juice, she quickly copied it into her hand and poured it into her mouth.

'What the hell? Xu Yun had doubts in his heart, scooped up a spoonful of thick soup and put it into his mouth.

When the tip of his tongue touched the soup, a familiar taste instantly awakened his silent food memory, and the pores of his whole body opened up with excitement.

"Delicious! The salty and sweet are just right, hot and spicy, and the soup is thick and fragrant, and the taste of the meat has been completely mixed with the soup, so you should eat this spicy food in winter to ward off the cold. Xu Yun closed his eyes and carefully savored the taste of the soup from the tip of his tongue.

Opening his eyes, Xu Yun waved his fork and spoon again and again, and sent the pieces of meat, potatoes and other ingredients in the bowl into his mouth one by one, and there was no time to speak.

Shuma was stunned on the other side, obviously the taste in her mouth made her feel like it was burning her tongue, but Timmy couldn't stop eating, it was incomprehensible.

Sasria curled the corners of her mouth playfully with a surprise look in her amber eyes, and she gave Clark a color, then turned and walked out of the dining room.

Clark let go of his arms, pulled a chair and sat down at the dining table, watching Xu Yun eat with relish, the expression on his face was first a brief surprise, and then joy rose in his eyes.

"Do you really think it's delicious?" He asked.

Xu Yun couldn't keep his mouth open, only nodded again and again. I finally swallowed the food in my mouth, exhaled the hot air, took a sip of sunset juice, and then said, "I added Jueyun pepper here, this spicy taste is really great." ”

"Well, he is worthy of being a child of a noble family, and he also knows Jueyun Jiaojiao. Although the people of Mondstadt love to drink, few of them can eat spicy food, and the fire water of the Solstice Winter, and the Jueyun pepper from Liyue are not selling well here. While the people of Mondstadt can tolerate pepper and spices, few can't tolerate the Pepper Pepper. Clark said, "But there are no Jueyun peppers added to it, and the spicy taste you eat is the taste of the ingredients themselves." ”

"The price of pepper and spices transported from Sumeru to Mondstadt is no longer acceptable to ordinary people, and even if the family has some spare money, most of the people of Mondstadt use it to buy wine and drink, so how can they invest more in food." Xu Yun replied avoiding the aristocracy.

As far back as he can remember, there are not many dishes in Mondstadt that can be called exquisite. The only dish that can be purple-quality is a moon pie, and the few dishes that are often used are the blue quality stacked high, cold meat platter, and carrot fried meat with honey sauce.

Compared to Liyue, the land of food, it is not half a bit.

"But you said that the spicy taste is the taste of the ingredients themselves, what ingredients are spicy in this?" Xu Yun used a fork and spoon to flick the large bowl that had been reduced, potatoes, pea grains, Mufeng mushrooms, small lamp grass, animal meat, no matter how you think about these things, they have nothing to do with spiciness.

"Meat." The corners of Clark's mouth went up, "This is the meat of the beast hound." ”

"The meat of the beast realm hound, no wonder it is dog meat." Xu Yun stared at the meat in the bowl, his eyes were already straight. In my mind, I recalled the image of myself fighting with the bloody dog before, the burning salivation, the purple blood.

"The flesh of the beast."

"Yes, the meat of the Warcraft, because the meat of the Warcraft contains dark power, so the taste is extremely poor, but it is undeniable that the meat of the Warcraft contains a lot of energy, which has a good tonic effect on strengthening the body of the warriors, in order to make effective use of these trophies, I tried to neutralize it with small lamp grass and Mufeng mushrooms, and now I can barely eat it."

Xu Yun swallowed his saliva, scooped up a spoonful of animal meat and sent it to his mouth to chew, the beast meat was stewed soft, and it quickly shattered into slender shredded meat under the pressure of his teeth, and the familiar spicy taste was also squeezed out of the cracks in the shredded meat, which was indeed stronger than the soup.

But this level of spiciness, for Xu Yun, is barely enough to be heavy and spicy.

He picked up the bowl and swallowed the last bit of stew at the bottom of the bowl, feeling completely full because of the hot and appetizing taste.

"One more bowl." He handed the bowl to Clark, not politely at all.

"Okay, I'll fill in as much as you can eat, and that's enough." Clark smiled and took the wooden bowl, and said as his chest muscles trembled.

Xu Yun exhaled with satisfaction, grabbed the sunset juice and took a sip, the sweet juice was fresh and refreshing, slightly neutralizing the pungency remaining on his tongue.

"Timmy, is this really delicious?" Xiuma poked the ingredients in his bowl with difficulty with a fork and spoon, and only after Xu Yun finished the whole bowl of stewed dog meat did he eat a few bites of potatoes himself.

Xu Yun wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and laughed happily: "Absolutely good, didn't you listen to Uncle Clark?" This is Warcraft meat, which has a good effect on the strong body of the warrior. You can't buy this thing outside, and you're still hesitating to eat it here? How can you not endure the little pain of wanting to be a knight? ”

"Besides, isn't it a little spicy, and when you get used to it, every meal will be inseparable from it. Trust me Xiuma, we are good brothers who share weal and woe, and I won't lie to you. Xu Yun assured.

"Really? Well, in order to become a knight, I'm going to fight it once today. Xiuma looked at Xu Yun's comfortable face, although he still had doubts in his heart, he also secretly made up his mind.

The reason why the number of strong people among the nobles far exceeds that of the commoners, in addition to the natural bloodline advantage, there is also a comprehensive transcendence of various daily uses, which is naturally indispensable, the commoners can only eat ordinary rations, and the nobles eat all kinds of tonic products every day, how can the body not have more advantages than the commoners.

It is also an indisputable fact that the combat power of the noble knight is to be stronger.

Shuma closed his eyes and put a mouthful of beast meat directly into his mouth, he instantly felt as if he had thrown a piece of coals on his tongue, enduring this pain, Shuma chewed the bloody dog meat with a hideous face, and swallowed it with difficulty, from his throat to the stomach pouch, as if a fire was burning.

"This is where to go, the fire and water of the Solstice Country are much stronger than this dog meat. But that's not something our age can drink. Haven't you seen how strong the Fatui of the Winter Kingdom are? ”

"Come on, Shuma, you can do it." Xu Yun cheered Xiuma on, and at the same time picked up his fork and spoon again, Clark had already sent a bowl of freshly prepared stew.

"Look, I've eaten the second bowl."

Strange to say, the amount of food that the wooden bowl provided by Clark can hold far exceeds the capacity of a child's stomach, and Xu Yun eats a bowl but doesn't feel it at all.

It's not that the spicy taste opens up the appetite and causes gluttony, but it really doesn't feel like what you eat takes up space.

In this way, when Xiu Ma finally solved his bowl of dog meat stew, Xu Yun had already killed three bowls here, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

After eating this extra meal, Clark sent the two boys away, and Sasria had already set the task before the meal, and she could not sleep without completing all the tasks of adding water to the stables today.

With the blessing of dog meat stew, the two teenagers didn't feel cold when they walked out of the canteen and restaurant to re-accept the baptism of cold wind and low temperature.

"It's amazing, I'm not cold at all." Shuma said, wiping the sweat from the pores of her forehead.

"You'd better say a few words now, and get to work." Xu Yun held back a smile and walked easily.

It may be the first time to eat this kind of spicy food, it is indeed a bit reluctant for Shuma, his upper and lower lips have been spicy and swollen into two small sausages at this time, and the pale smiling face that was about to freeze to death is now red like an apple.

Every time I saw his pair of lips, Xu Yun couldn't help but want to laugh, but it was not good to hit this little friend, so I had to hold back the laughter in my stomach, and I almost held back the internal injuries.

The two of them returned to the task of adding water to the stables, this time it was like a fire burning in their bodies, no longer affected by the cold, although they were still very tired, but they could always squeeze a little strength before they ran out.

The two of them were busy until the sun went down, and they miraculously filled all the sixteen water tanks of the other two stables with water. Seeing that the water tank was filled all the time, the sense of accomplishment and joy from the heart made Xiuma can't help but hug Xu Yun and cheer.

"It's done! We're done. And it's faster than in the morning, this is the magical effect of Warcraft meat, right? Timmy, you really didn't lie to me. If there is such an effect, I am willing to let me eat Warcraft meat every day. ”

'There was no cheating, and we did. ’

The joy in Xu Yun's heart even exceeded the bright smile of the same cultivator as he showed at this moment.

This is the first time I have gone beyond my own limits to do something, and I have done it seriously (although it was forced). Compared to this, the joy of staying up late to complete overtime tasks in the present world is not worth mentioning at all.

After all, it hurt to type code at that time, but he didn't appreciate what his final product was like, it was more just to complete the task assigned by the department head. Although the female supervisor always said that the results of everyone's sincere cooperation were abundant, she did not have any sense of substantive participation.

But in front of me, it was such a simple thing to fill the water tank with water, but I really gained a sense of accomplishment. This was the result of his cooperation with Shuma, and looking at the water in the tank, he began to be a little reluctant to give the horses in the stable to drink the water.

"Done? Not bad. Even if today's mission is completed, rest well at night, and tomorrow there will be a new mission for you. Like a ghost, Sasria silently appeared at the open gate of the stables.

The startled two hurriedly straightened up.

"Yes! Instructor. Xu Yun and Xiu Ma Lizheng replied.

Sasria nodded, and turned away with no expression on her face.

Oh yes~

Shuma cheered, cheering happily as she rushed out of the gate, and the fatigue of her whole body seemed to be swept away in an instant. Xu Yun couldn't care about the reserve of any adults, so he chased after him recklessly.

At this moment, he just wants to completely release himself, and he just wants to enjoy this happiness with his new good friends.

"Put the tools back in their place!" Before the two of them could rush out of the stable, Sasria reappeared as if by magic. "This is the first and last time, and if I find out that I don't pack up my tools after work, I'm going to give you a little punishment to strengthen your memory." She said in a cold and threatening voice.

The two people who were blocked at the gate were rejoicing, and their movements were frozen instantly, so they had to come back dejectedly and obediently to complete the finishing work.

After a long night's sleep, the two of them were caught out of the warm bed by Sasria and assigned a new mission before dawn.

This time, there was one more person to work, and it was their neighbor, Kerry, who lived in room three of the women's dormitory. The content of the task is also very simple, split.

Chopping wood under Clark's direction, the tool used was a tomahawk weighing more than thirty pounds. The chopping action must be completed in the prescribed posture, and if the posture is slightly wrong, you will be beaten.

Shuma got her wish today and ate the monster meat again, and then turned into a pair of sausage mouths with Kerry.

On the third day, the Winter Snow Festival has passed, and the training course has officially begun. Under the leadership of Hiro, all the new apprentices got up early at half past five to run and exercise, and after running until the whole body was sweating, it was changed to morning training, and the morning training lasted until seven o'clock.

The two-hour cultural class starts at 8 a.m., and many children are simply illiterate before entering the training class, so the cultural class is essential.

Strength training began at 10 o'clock, and on the first day of registration, the new apprentices stood on the edge and used equipment to exercise their strength, while the old apprentices of the previous class occupied the center of the training ground, wielding heavy swords and practicing basic swordsmanship. In the afternoon, the new apprentices will teach basic sword postures, while the old apprentices will train and practice combat with their own specialized weapons.

But these have nothing to do with Xu Yun and the others.

Cultural lessons Shuma and Kerry can be found here.

Xu Yun himself could read the divine script, and Sasria didn't think it was necessary to let him attend the culture class, because the foundation of Mondstadt taught in the culture class was just a waste of time for him. So for the two hours of cultural class, Sasria assigned homework to Xu Yun alone.

It is worth mentioning that although Xu Yun can understand the divine script, he can't write it at all, of course, he only knows Chinese characters and English, and then the code, and after he wrote the Chinese characters in front of Saslia, he was tacitly thought that it was a kind of divine script, although she had never seen these symbols and words, but she could understand them.

Well, the system gods can do anything.

But Xu Yun felt that he was being cheated by the system. The price of not having to take a culture class was that he was captured by Sasria and worked for an extra two hours. The good news is that Shuma and Kerry will come to accompany them after their cultural classes.

Fetch water, chop firewood, carry ingredients, clean stables and canteens, pull carts, cut vegetables, decompose animal meat, and maintain weapons and equipment.

Sasria and Clark always find new jobs for the three boys, every day is not the same, but every day is so tired that they sleep like dead people at night.

Time passes in a hurry in toil, winter goes to spring, spring ends with the summer solstice. Eight months passed in a trance.

"Cheer up, boys, today's harvest will be used to forge your first sword, and if the receipt is insufficient, the first weapon you can have may be just a small dagger." Wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, Clark sat on a two-wheeled truck, tapping the body with a branch in his hand.

The sun is scorching, and the heat is like baking on a fire.

Xu Yun, Xiuma, and Kerry wore short clothes and pulled the cart in front.

Xiuma and Kerry grabbed a front plug and separated the two sides, while Xu Yun was tied to a rope like a pack horse and sat at the front to act as the main force pulling the cart.

After eating the meat of the Warcraft for eight months, the strength of the three guys has increased considerably, and the already strong Xiuma and Kerry have jumped up by half a head in height, and their muscles have swelled like dough fermentation, and their bodies are as strong as a calf.

But when it comes to change, Xu Yun is the biggest. His small body, which had been as thin as dry wood, was now well-proportioned and strong, and the muscles were not very bulging, but they were as angular as tempered steel, and his height had not changed much, after all, he was recognized as the youngest of the new batch of apprentices.

In fact, Xu Yun didn't know how old Timmy was, and he didn't inherit any memories when he crossed over. It's just that on the day he reported to the training class, he was the shortest and thinnest of all the apprentices, so it was natural that everyone defaulted to being a younger brother.

As for the strength of this younger brother, only Sasria, Clarke, and Shuma and Kerry, who were captured with him to work, knew what kind of strength he was.

"Superman Boss, we don't even know basic swordsmanship, even if we have a sword, we can't use it." Xu Yun shouted without complaints.

Superman Boss is the nickname he got to know Clark after he got acquainted, and although Clark didn't admit it, he didn't explicitly object to it, so he kept calling it down.

"Yes, Sasria thinks it's almost time for you to start training in basic swordsmanship, so I'll start teaching you when I get back this time."

Oh yes~

The three teenagers cheered excitedly, and Shuma and Kerry glanced at each other, both seeing the excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.

At first, Kerry complained that he was unlucky, and because he seemed close to Timmy, he was caught by the chief instructor and worked with Timmy and Shuma every day.

During the cultural class, Shuma and Kerry had one of the few exchanges with their fellow apprentices, listening to others talk about what they taught yesterday and what they taught yesterday, and they asked, 'What did you learn?' ’

'Oh, I'm back to work.' ’

It is impossible not to envy or resent in your heart.

But the majesty of the chief instructor could not resist, and the two could only bear it silently.

After a long time, they suffered together, suffered together, suffered together, and suffered white eyes and ridicule, and the friendship between the two became stronger and stronger, and Timmy, who was recognized as an unlucky egg, gradually changed from resentment towards Timmy at the beginning to sympathy, and from sympathy to a more determined friendship.

After all, among the three of them, no matter how you look at it, Timmy is the worst, so we can still take two hours of cultural class, but Timmy is too miserable, getting up early in the morning to work until dark.

The three of them automatically ignored the fact that they ate Warcraft meat every day.

If they knew that only the top three apprentices in the weekly assessment were eligible to eat a meal of Warcraft meat, they would definitely not have so much mental activity.

"No wonder I went with the big army this time, instead of pulling out to work alone." Xu Yun looked at the classmates sitting in the balloon truck in front of him, and was envious.

Several female apprentices sitting on the last balloon car were reflexively pointing at Xu Yun who had fallen at the back of the team, and whispered and laughed in each other's ears.

Why can they ride in a balloon wagon, and I have to be a pack cart here? Lao Tzu has a plug-in, and Lao Tzu has never said it. Depressed. ’

"Where are we going to mine this time? God asks mysteriously, you always don't say, it's been out of the city for most of the day, it's hard to run back, Superman, you'll give you a bottom? Xu Yun said

Clark glanced at Sasria and Hiro, who were riding on horseback and following the side of the group, and was silent for a moment, then slapped Xu Yun's ass with the branch in his hand.

Syllable~

The movement was loud, but it didn't hurt much, and most of the sound was the sound of a few leaves on a branch.

"I'll tell you now, I'm almost there anyway. Today's destination is the ruins of the Eagle Temple of the West Wind, as for mining, of course, we have to dig deep into the ruins, and the quality of those open-pit iron mines on the periphery is too poor, and we can't train a few pieces of good iron when we go back with a cart of ore. ”

"Wow, I'm going to the ruins!" Shuma's mouth opened wide, and there was an uncontrollable eagerness in her eyes.

"But I've heard that the depths of the ruins are dangerous." Kerry's father was Tima, so he knew better.

"The Temple of the Favonius Eagle is one of the few ruins in the hands of the Knights, and the monsters in the ruins have been combed and are set aside for you little devils to use for training. The Temple of the Eagle of the West Wind is the least difficult of the several ruins. So you don't need to be too afraid, don't scare yourself into a soft-footed shrimp before you encounter a monster. ”

"How come, and our task is only mining, and it is the second-year apprentice of the previous class who will come today, right?" Xu Yun pouted, the Temple of the Eagle of the West Wind is the first relic copy that the player has experienced, the difficulty, the single-digit trumpet can be passed casually, what is the difficulty.

If it is difficult, they have not yet learned to use the Wind Wings, according to Xu Yun's memory, that small copy must use the Wind Wings to fly over a cliff in order to clear the customs in the end.

After all, that's the way to play in the game, and he has lived in this Teyvat for more than eight months, and he hasn't seen a few people use Wind Wings.

The only time I saw someone flying overhead with Wind Wings was three months ago.

"Your kid's instincts are as sharp as ever, and today I'm going to show the second graders blood.

Usually take out to hunt wild beasts or something, and it's just a joke. Just go to Qingquan Town and find a hunter, you can do it.

We are a knight training class, how can we only fight with wild beasts? You still have to fight with monsters with real knives and guns, so as to sharpen your skills that really come in handy. ”

"Aren't there monsters in the wild? Wouldn't it be better to practice with monsters in the wild first? "Xu Yun

······ silent

"The scattered monsters in the wild are indeed suitable for practice, but since last year's Winter Snow Festival, the monsters in the wild have become more and more dangerous and irritable. They are no longer scattered, but have gathered into small groups that are quite tricky for you little ones, and if you are not careful, you will die, are you sure that you young chickens can carry this hurdle? ”

"So let's practice with these domestic monsters first." Clark's voice was a little perfunctory.

Xu Yun knew that the previous third-grade apprentice had died in the assessment of the previous third-grade apprentice who went out to clean up and practice last month.

One man and one woman.

He lived in the women's dormitory, and at night he heard a female apprentice secretly crying, and one of the people who wanted to die was her friend.

It seems that there are several injured, but the nuns of the Aeolus Church have quite powerful healing spells, as long as they are not dead or disabled at the time, they can continue to be alive and kicking when they turn around.

"Can a domestic monster still be a monster? It's about the same as the lord in the pigsty. Xu Yun kicked away a small rock in the way.

"I don't need you to cut down monsters, what are you complaining about, obediently mine for Lao Tzu, and dig more white iron ore. I don't know if the crystal mine found last year has been formed, and it should be ripe when the time is calculated. Clark glared and smoked Xu Yun again. This time the sound was not loud, but it hurt so much that Xu Yun screamed~.

Shuma and Kerry laughed heartlessly.

There was a lot of idle talk along the way, and just after noon, the team finally arrived in front of the Temple of the Eagle of the West Wind.

Strictly speaking, the Eagle of Zephyr is a demon god, a wild god who is not recognized by the Temple of the Gods of Sky Island, and it is a temple that was subordinated to the great Lord Anemo and obtained the permission of the Wind God to share the faith before establishing this temple.

But time is always the sharpest blade, and the mighty Favoan of Zephyr fell into the distant past, and the temple was abandoned, gradually deserted and abandoned as no one came to worship again. Countless years later, it became the remains of today.

The ruins must have been built on the leyline nodes, and this temple is no different. Although the temple is abandoned, the overflowing leyline power will nourish a large number of rare materials, and there will be a fixed output every year, of course, the knights will not turn a blind eye, and the monsters attracted by the leylines can also be used as materials for newcomers to practice, and there is no need to spend more manpower and financial resources to maintain, so why not hold the ownership of the ruins firmly in your hands.

Under the supervision of four instructors, the team rested outside the temple for half an hour to make up for a late lunch, and after the break, the second-year apprentices were divided into six teams to enter the ruins for training.

The new class of knight apprentices followed Sasria and Hiro into the ruins half an hour after they entered.

Instead of taking the new batch of apprentices straight into the depths of the ruins, Sasria followed behind the second-year apprentices and let the new apprentices witness their experience. As for mining, it is actually just a benefit attached to this operation, and the main purpose is to train the apprentices' mental will and make them accustomed to blood.

But this time, Xu Yun, Xiuma and Kerry were still arranged outside, and under the leadership of Clark, they went straight to the depths of the ruins.

Their main task is mining.

The overall area of the ruins of the Favonius Eagle Temple is actually not large, but because of the disrepair, there are monsters entrenched, and the collapsed ruins block the original passage or open up a new road, creating a labyrinth that is not big or small, and those who enter for the first time will definitely get lost here.

Clark had apparently been here many times, and he had led the three boys into the depths of the ruins, and he hadn't encountered a single monster on the way. At the end of the ruins is a mountain cliff, the leyline seal is at the bottom of the cliff, follow Clark, and you will reach the bottom of the cliff with seven turns, the elemental circle that stabilizes the leylines is working normally, and the overflowing leyline power has created clusters of bare ore around the surface, black iron ore and white iron ore are mixed together to form large chunks of hard rock, which must be chiseled down with a hoe in small pieces. It's very different from the game's one-piece distribution model.

After Clark arranged for the three of them to start work, he lowered his head and walked around the leylines twice, and then shouted:

"Timmy, come dig here, dig down there, watch out for the power backlash."

Xu Yun ran over with a sharp-beaked hoe, and saw Clark rubbing a small layer of floating soil on the ground with his foot, and a familiar blue-green crystal peeked out a little corner from under the soil.

"Crystal Mine!"

"Well, it's a crystal mine, which can also be called a geogen concentrate, which is the product of the fusion of a large number of gathered leyline forces with the metal minerals originally here. A necessary item for forging high-level equipment, the elemental energy conduction effect is equivalent to that of Magic Crystal Ore. Clark nodded, signaling that Xu Yun could excavate.

"What's the difference between a magic crystal mine and a crystal mine?"

"The Magic Crystal Mine, of course, is the crystal mine that appeared around the polluted leyline, and because it was contaminated with the magic of the abyss, it was renamed the Magic Crystal Mine. Although the magic crystal ore is almost the same mineral as the crystal ore, it is more difficult to mine, and the weapons created have certain magical energy attributes, and the lethality will be higher than that of the weapons forged by the crystal ore. However, the drawback is also obvious, a weapon forged from the magic crystal ore is said to produce demonic properties after absorbing a large amount of blood and evil energy, killing too many lives, and will lure the user to fall. ”

"It will corrupt the user..." Xu Yun instantly thought of the one-handed sword in the Yueka weapon, the black sword. Vampire special effects, weapon passive skills that increase attack damage, as a trumpet wasteland, is undoubtedly an artifact.

The introduction to this sword has been shown to be degraded by the user.

But it's impossible to fall as a player, so how could Teyvat Bulldozer kill all the monsters in the map because of a single sword? What a joke, it's all for Mora!

Moreover, in the middle and late stages, there are so many five-star artifacts in the card pool, and the black sword will gradually be eliminated into the warehouse and eaten ashes.

Xu Yun recalls his recollections, his hands are not ambiguous, and he starts work with a sharp hoe.
