142 A companion is like a tiger

On a summer afternoon, the torrential rain poured, and the water level in the Broken Jade River continued to rise, gradually flooding the grassy slopes.

Allegri sat by the window, casually recording something, and the raindrops hit the baffle and the ground in front of the window with a crisp sound.

Not far away, the four-story magic tower that had been built gradually revealed its true color as the rain washed away. Most of the work has been carried out, but the most tedious part is still to come, and Allegri does not dare to ignore it.

"What are you doing?" a voice came in as he spoke. Allegri turned her head to see that Cyrel had put her rainproof cloak aside and wiped the rain from her face.

"Why are you back?" Allegri poured her a cup of hot water and brought it over. The "Sad Mercenary Regiment" has set up an office in the Green River Valley, and the three deputy heads have stayed there to recruit, and I don't know why Cyyl came back first.

"Don't mention it," Cyryl snorted, "After so many days of recruitment, Dios and Illo have gained a lot, and I have dozens of people here, and many of them are good-looking disciples. ”

"Ha Luha, this shows that you are very attractive," Allegri laughed, "It's no wonder, I don't think there are many people who are willing to be scouts and intelligence officers, right?"

"Okay, you know this, and you still fool me into being the deputy head of the regiment?" Cyruel snorted, picking up a towel and wiping her slightly soaked hair, "Feelings are a thankless job." ”

"But it's also very important," Allegri patted her on the shoulder with a solemn face, "or I wouldn't have been able to leave this important task to you." ”

Cyrell lay down in her chair and said, "It's okay for the scout to say that intelligence officers really need to be loyal and capable, and they can't be cultivated in a day or two. ”

"Aunt Cyrell, are you here?" Afra trotted in. Brooke couldn't catch up with his umbrella.

"What an aunt, call sister. Cyrell said with a dark face.

Afra stuck out her tongue, walked up to Allegri, and looked on tiptoe, "Teacher, what are we going to study today?"

"Brooke. Sit," Allegri beckoned, pulling out a white slate from under the table, "Review yesterday's content first, you two draw the magic circuit structure of the 'time bomb', remember, don't infuse it with magic." ”

"Yes, don't be like your teacher," Cyrell burst out laughing. "Afra remember, what he did to blow up your house? ”

"Concentrate on drawing," Allegri glared at Celyl and diverted from the conversation, "Afra, has your father written to you lately?"

"Teacher, didn't you tell me to concentrate on drawing?" said Afra, frowning, "but he doesn't take the desert trade route anymore. Two days ago, I wrote to see if I could take the opportunity to come to Anlan's side. ”

"Looks like he's missing you, but I'm also thinking a little bit about Uncle Mendel. Allegri laughed, "If only he could settle here if he wanted to." ”

"Yes, this valley is beautiful," said Syreil, stretching comfortably, and lay down on Allegri's bed. "I used to be in the desert, and my lifelong dream was to live in an oasis, and now it's finally come true. ”

Allegri smiled and didn't speak, he turned his eyes to the two students' homework. Pointing out,

"Brooke, there are basically no mistakes in your drawing, but there are too many cumbersome strokes, and the sketching in some places is obviously due to habit, and there are some places that seem to be a little shaky. For example...... Here......"

"Yes, teacher," Brooke whispered like a schoolboy with his gray hair down, "I'm getting older, and sometimes I'm a little dazzled. ”

Allegri was slightly stunned, and instructed, "Brooke, in the future, I will try to hand over the work of the magic tower to me, you see that this place is so beautiful, you can take care of your old age." ”

Afra also smiled, "That's it, just let me do the work." ”

"You?" Allegri glanced at her, looked at the magic circle in her hand, and said with a dark face, "You take a closer look at the magic circle you draw, take a good look, here-" He pointed to a straight drawing on the magic circle.

"Ha ......" Brooke smiled as he glanced at it, and Afra thought for a moment and lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Cyrell looked around, but didn't see anything.

"This straight drawing connects two magic arrays that should be separated, and if you inject magic power, it will explode in an instant, you say, Afra, does the teacher dare you to help draw the magic tower?"

"If there is really a teacher, there must be a disciple. Cyrell laughed.

As a result, the faces of the two magicians, one large and one small, darkened.

After the rain, the sky is clear, the air is fresh, and the breath is full of moist earthy smell.

Allegri moved his body and took a few breaths before he heard the clatter of horses' hooves.

No, it's the sound of sheep's hooves.

"Teacher, teacher," cried the dwarf, "the city is being built outside the valley, and the post road is being laid. ”

"Yes," Allegri thought for a moment, then commanded, "go, take me there." ”

The dwarf patted the black goat on the head and asked, "Teacher, Babi is very fast, you can't catch up with him." ”

"Let's go, go over there, I'll look for a horse. Allegri gestured into the distance, just in time to see Brooke there.

The two men mounted their mounts and set off for the rest of the valley.

The sound of horses' hooves and the clattering of sheep's hooves.

The valley is flanked by green hills, and about a dozen kilometers from the Magic Tower, there is a narrower valley mouth, and after the valley, there is a larger valley, which extends to Onisha's Green River Valley.

At the junction of the Broken Jade River and the Green River, there is an endless stream of garrisons and people, and the town has begun planning and construction.

The wide post road has been rapidly extending from the Green River Valley to the town, and the construction of the town will be accompanied by the construction of the post road from the town to the "Path of the Light".

Two post roads, stretching along the banks of the Green River and the Broken Jade River, allow land and river transportation to be carried out at the same time. It is conceivable that after the opening of trade routes in the future, the water and land will be a scene of busy traffic and boats.

Along the way, Allegri also felt a little happy in his heart, no matter what time it was, the construction and the new life were encouraging. Moreover, it will bring him a lot of income.

By noon, the two men walking along the river had arrived at the junction of the two rivers.

For the construction of the town, Onesha even brought in the army as coolies, and stone and timber were being brought in in a steady stream.

"Who?" said a young officer, who rushed over and looked at the strange two men in amazement.

A dwarven knight riding a black goat, and a magician who looked young, and seemed to have come from the valley over there.

"I'm Allegri. Allegri said lightly.

"Oh," the officer swept Allegri's violet eyes, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and gave a knightly salute, "It turned out to be His Excellency the Count Violet, the squadron leader of the second squadron of the second battalion of the Anlan Guard, Nicholas. ”

"Squadron Leader Nicholas, when is the construction of the town expected to be completed?" Allegri asked, dismounting.

Nicholas was in his thirties, his appearance was simple, and he peeked at the Earl beside him with some curiosity, "The Grand Duke's order is that before your magic tower is built, the post road and the town must be completed. ”

"That should be in a hurry, right?"

"No, the main construction pressure is on the post road," Nicholas said, "and the walls of the town could be delayed, mainly for functional buildings and stacks for merchants to rest......

Allegri nodded, observing something casually, when suddenly he heard a commotion ahead, and the cheers of the soldiers could be faintly heard.

"What's wrong with these guys?" Nicholas frowned, confessed to Allegri, and walked briskly forward.

Allegri nodded, and walked towards the soldiers who had gathered around.

Archduchess Onesa, dressed in splendid clothes, visited the place in person, and the soldiers around her watched her with eager eyes, and cheered like a mountain roaring like a tsunami. After a lot of hard work to rebuild the "Flame Demon Knight", lead the army to recover the lost territory, and rebuild the Anlan Principality, Onesha's status and prestige in the hearts of the Anlan army and people are comparable to that of the founding Grand Duke. In addition, she is beautiful, amiable, and has an outstanding temperament, and she is a goddess-like existence in the hearts of soldiers.

Onisha kept a friendly smile on her face and accosted the nearby soldiers one by one, tirelessly. Suddenly, at a glance out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly showed a hint of joy from the bottom of her heart, and she looked glorious.

With a few whispers, she stepped up, and Allegri hesitated, she had already walked in front of her.

"Your Excellency Duke Violet, it's been a long time. Onisha laughed, and the officers began to lead the soldiers away, still looking curiously at the two talking.

"Didn't you see each other at the knighthood ceremony two days ago......" Allegri whispered, clasping his chest and saluting, "Your Highness." ”

"yes, I'm so busy, it feels like the last time we met was a long time ago," Onisha said with a smile as she waved her squire away, "Let's go over there, I don't have a chance to come out." ”

The two of them strolled along the Broken Jade River, and the attendants followed from a distance, the shallow grass was velvety, and the water splashed like pearls.

"I'm at your door, won't you invite me in for a seat?" Onisha teased.

"Well, if you are not too simple, I cordially invite the Grand Duke to my supper. Allegri said helplessly.

"You're so reluctant?" Onissa feigned anger.

"No way," Allegri shook his head, "a companion is like a tiger......"

"A companion is like a companion?" Onisha frowned and said, "Okay, you are sure that I must rely on you, don't you dare to do anything about you?"

"Look," Allegri pointed, "look at you now, you're just a tiger!" (to be continued......)
