Chapter 19: I Will Repay Your Kindness!
"It's been three days, and you haven't found the thief yet?"
When he asked this, the two thick eyebrows on Xia Bolai's forehead were twisted into two barbs, which were obviously extremely serious expressions, but with the two large eyes with soft curves below, they suddenly lost their momentum.
Lilith didn't dare to look at Shabolai's face, for fear of laughing out loud and causing trouble for herself.
To distract herself, she stared down at the pattern of the carpet.
"Sellers is so cunning that he has laid a lot of fog along the way."
"Through the resonance of the feather power, we can only confirm that he is still in the vicinity of Whitehorse, but it is difficult to find a specific location."
The barb on Shabolai's face became even sharper: "What does he want to do after stealing feathers but daring to hang around?" ”
According to common sense, shouldn't you immediately go away and fly high?
Lilith didn't speak, but turned her head to look at Lawson, who was painting.
Shabolai immediately understood.
"Is it because of Lawson? Why? Even if his paintings can be sold for money, they won't cost him his life, right? ”
Lilith spread her hands: "Judging from past information, Sellers is narrow-minded and has an extreme temperament. ”
"What he sees in it, he will do it to the end. Now, he's probably identified with Rosen, so ......"
Xia Bolai laughed angrily: "Ha~~ This thief is a little interesting!" ”
He pondered for a moment and said to Lilith, "You go ahead and look for it." I'm just waiting here! I'd like to see what this thief can do! ”
"Yes, Mr. Shabolai."
Lilith replied respectfully and was about to leave the room.
"Wait, you can find me a strong bow again, and the bow power will be at least 100 kilograms. Or a steel crossbow is also made. ”
Lilith was stunned: "Doesn't Mister Shapole have a strong bow?"
Shapole's eyes widened: "Which eye did you see me with a bow?" Asperhole? ”
Lilith's face turned red and she explained embarrassedly, "I thought you just didn't bring it with you."
Shapole's face softened slightly.
"I used to have a bow. But it cost money to buy arrows, and the bowstring had to be maintained with great care, so it was too troublesome, so I threw it away. ”
Lilith's face suddenly showed embarrassment: "Whether it is a strong bow or a steel crossbow, it is only available in the army...... Perhaps, it would have been more convenient for Monsir de Chapole to ask for a baron. ”
"Looking for a baron? Forget it, for such a trivial matter, I don't bother to owe that hypocrite's favor. ”
"Get out!"
It's just a low-level mage, and even if he absorbs the power of Ash Feather, he has nothing to fear.
Lilith saluted again and exited the room lightly.
After she left, Xia Bolai completely softened his face and asked, "Rosen, you said that Cyrus is your spell master, what did he teach you?" ”
Rosen naturally only chose the one who could see the light and said: "I taught rest meditation and the hand of the mage, and some bits and pieces of common sense of magic. ”
In fact, he has not been idle for the past three days.
I took advantage of the time to secretly visualize, and my mana increased a bit, and I also practiced the new spell 'Flame Barrier'.
"Heh~~ There's a lot of teaching."
Charporai looked sarcastic, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then have you learned the hand of the mage?" ”
"Got it."
"To what extent?"
"I can pick up the teapot on the table now."
In fact, he can already lift more than 40 pounds of heavy objects and maintain them for three minutes.
"Empty or full?"
"Full."
Rosen showed a little bit of ability.
In the past few days, he has seen it clearly.
Although Shabol has quirks and looks stumbling, he has a bright personality and is extremely confident, and the dark-minded Cyrus are completely polar opposites.
Even if he knew that he had an excellent talent for magic, he didn't have to worry about getting into trouble.
Of course, if the other party doesn't ask, he won't take the initiative to say.
Sure enough, Shabolai was shocked by his answer.
"After more than half a month of quiet meditation, you can lift a teapot full of water? You're kind of funny, little one! ”
Although he was not a mage, he was a high-ranking samurai, and he was a well-known figure throughout the North, and he had a wide range of knowledge.
As far as he knew, Rest Meditation was only for beginners, and the effect of increasing mana was not obvious.
Ordinary sorcery practitioners usually have to meditate for 1 month to get started, and 3 months to feel the appearance of clear and discernible mana in their bodies.
And if you want to use the mage's hand to lift this water-filled teapot on the table, you have to concentrate on cultivation for at least half a year.
With just a few words of guidance, Rosen has reached this level in more than half a month, and the speed of progress is really amazing.
Xia Bolai looked at Lawson carefully, and thought to himself: "Could it be that on a trip to Whitehorse Town, I met a magic genius?" ”
But no matter how he looked at Rosen, he felt that this kid had a stupid spirit, and there was no resemblance to the young geniuses he had seen before.
"Didn't this kid tell me the truth?"
Thinking of this, his face sank, and his big eyes glared at Rosen: "Rosen, you tell me the truth, what else have you studied?" ”
Rosen was secretly shocked in his heart: "This guy's eyes are so poisonous...... Wait, no, maybe you're lying to me. ”
The creation singularity meditation naturally can't be said, but general knowledge is fine.
He suddenly showed 'shame' on his face, and said hesitantly: "The master often looks at the magic books in front of me, and I ...... I peeked at some of the content. ”
"You're lying!"
Shabolai smiled, thinking that he had seen through the other party's lies.
"Lilith tell me, you can't read at all, how can you peek?"
Rosen shook his head again and again: "Actually, I am literate, although I don't know all of them, but I can still understand the simple content." ”
"Who taught you?"
"Mentor Cyrus."
"He's that kind?"
"I learned it secretly, when I first came to the Green Warbler Hotel, he read a book of "Oil Painting Techniques" in front of me, and I learned it by comparing the words in the book."
Shabolai was more and more shocked: "Can you learn to read and write after reading a book? Will this work? ”
Rosen looked 'puzzled': "What's wrong?" Is it hard? ”
Chapolai subconsciously raised his hand and pointed at Rosen: "You...... You...... Do you really think it's easy? ”
It took him several years to learn how to read, and even now, he still writes a mess.
"At least it's simpler than an oil painting. I've been painting this thing for more than half a month, and some of the details are still not well grasped. ”
Rosen looked 'chagrined'.
'Poof~~~'
Shabol had an urge to vomit blood, and if he hadn't seen Rosen's ability in oil painting with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there would be such a good brain in the world!
But now he had to believe it.
He looked at Rosen carefully, looking up and down, left and right, eager to see through his body and his soul.
In his heart, he sighed again and again: "The golden god is above, it turns out that the magic genius looks like this!" ”
Immediately after, another burst of fire swelled in his heart.
"Ah, Madame has been worried that she can't find a good spell inheritor. Isn't there a ready-made one right in front of you? ”
Originally, taking Rosen back to Silvermoon Castle to learn spells was just to cope with the errand and exchange for a few beauty paintings, but now, Chapolai is really interested.
When the agitated mind calmed down a little, he hurriedly asked, "Then what did you steal?" ”
"Peeked at the idea of a high-level view of the sun. I meditate every day imagining the sun and feel my mana increase very quickly. ”
"Hmm~ The idea of the sun, although very common, is indeed quite effective in the concept of flames. That is, your mana has a flame polarity? ”
"Well, that's probably what it looks like."
He couldn't tell if it was fire polarity, but he could only say that it was very similar.
This answer disappointed Xia Bolai slightly, because Madame was a large moon magician, majoring in moon arts, and her mana polarity was 'Exorcism Silver Moon'.
The mana of the fire polarity is not suitable for learning the spells of the lady.
But after thinking about it, Rosen had only meditated for more than half a month, his mana was not strong, and his fire polarity was not deeply involved, so he had every chance to practice.
He asked, "Anything else?" ”
Lawson didn't hide it: "I have strengthened the mage's hand, and I can use this spell to throw things, such as throwing stones, which can be used to smash people." ”
"Throwing stones and smashing people, haha, children only play like this."
In this regard, Xia Bolai didn't care, the mage's hand was like that, no matter how strong it was, it wouldn't have much power, and how deep could a beginner be?
It is estimated that if you touch it, you will throw it more than ten meters, and it will hurt a little to hit someone's head.
"Is there anything else?"
"No, that's all."
Xia Bolai estimated that it was about the same, and said with a smile: "In half a month, you can explore to this extent, you are already very good." ”
"When we return to Silvermoon Castle, Madame should appreciate your talent very much, and maybe she will teach you herself."
"Really?" Rosen was a little happy, but not hopeful.
"I can't guarantee it, because I can't guess the Great Moon Sorcerer's mind, I can only say that there is a possibility."
After a pause, he continued: "By the way, from now on, Cyrus is no longer your mentor, but your enemy. ”
"This guy has the feathers of an ash bird, but he can't get around, I'm afraid he's ready to take a risk. If he did, it would be a bit tricky. ”
Lawson's heart was dark, but his face was 'dazed': "I don't understand much." ”
"It's complicated, and you may not understand it even if I explain it...... In this way, I will teach you some common sense of protecting your life, and if you learn it carefully, you may be able to use it soon. ”
"I'll study hard."
Shabolai pondered for a few seconds, and reached out from his pocket to find a thin parchment book, the cover of which read "A Brief Discussion on Combat in Magic".
"This book was given to me by my wife, and although there are not many techniques recorded in it, every bit of it is very practical."
"You take it and look at it, you don't know how to ask me. Pay me back after reading it. Also, don't get paint on the pages. ”
"I remember."
Rosen respectfully took the booklet and carefully opened it.
The first sentence reads: "Samurai and mage have different paths, but their power comes from meditation." The former turns power into combat skills, and the latter into spells. ”
The second sentence reads: "The strength of any strong person has a limit, and once it is exhausted, it will be exhausted, dizzy, and even inferior to ordinary people." ”
The third sentence reads: "Any strong man has a flaw, and when he is not prepared, a small poisonous dagger can put an end to the mighty dragon." ”
After reading only three sentences, Rosen had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and most of the jealousy caused by not understanding before dissipated.
He looked at Shabolai and said sincerely: "Thank you very much, sir, for your generosity, I owe you a great favor. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will do my best to repay your kindness. ”
When Shabolai heard this, he laughed disapprovingly.
"There's no need to repay me, draw me a few more beauties."
