Chapter 2 The Anchored Dagger
The room was dark, and Leo took off his traveling cloak and lay on the bed in his apprentice's robes, a little tired, but not sleepy.
Ever since he had acquired the Red Dragon Bloodline, he had become less and less in need of sleep to regain his physical strength. As long as you eat and drink enough, it won't take long for your body to naturally return to its best state.
Bloodline Awakening has brought many benefits, and they are all tangible benefits, but Leo has plans to study further, and he decides to follow his teacher's words and devote himself to learning magic first.
I silently estimated the time, and now it is only about nineteen o'clock in the evening at most. Leo's first thought was to continue reading his teacher's magic notes, which contained a level 1 protective magic that he really wanted to learn, the primary energy shield.
With the "Flame Nova", which consumes a lot of mental power, but does not have zĂ i spells that are cold, does not need to recite spells, and is very powerful, and has a tremor electric shock that has been solidified and has a short cast time, Leo thinks that his attack power is already very good, and what he lacks at present is defense.
And the primary energy shield will fill this gap in a large way.
Crusterma, which is applied to the skin, has a defensive effect, but the body is still damaged. The Primary Energy Shield is different, this magic creates an energy field that envelops the body and can withstand damage and can be maintained for the rest of the year. As long as the mental power is not exhausted, the energy field will not disappear and the body will not be harmed. Arguably, this is one of the most used and favorite defensive spells for junior mages.
However, level 1 magic is much more difficult than level 0 magic, and it is impossible to cast it successfully without fully understanding the nature of mastering magic. Now without the guidance of his teacher, Leo can only discredit the research by himself, and the slow progress can be imagined. According to his own estimates, it will take at least half a month before it is possible to learn the primary energy shield.
"Alas, no wonder Montoya dreamed of going to the Academy of Magic. It's simply too inefficient to tinker with it yourself. "Leo is a little helpless, the Cheno's family is poor and white, and they must not be able to afford to use oil lamps, and if he uses the bright flame technique to illuminate, he may reveal the identity of the mage.
For some reason, all the books he had read could be stored by the professor, but the teacher's magic notes couldn't be tried.
Feeling the stiff bed board and having nothing else to do, Leo had to solidify the Byron Shrinking Technique. It was the whimsical use of this magic before. In the end, he succeeded in killing the Shadow Dwarf Piercing, and this was the teacher's own magic, and he felt that he should finish curing as much as possible.
Unconsciously, time passed slowly, and Leo was completely immersed in solidification magic, which could also improve his mental power, but the effect was much worse than meditation. In this regard, he has no choice but to look forward to entering the magic academy as much as possible. Learn the higher levels of soul plane meditation.
At this moment, a slight "creak" suddenly came, and the door was pushed open.
Solidification magic, while also entering the soul plane, does not require the full attention of meditation. So Leo immediately became aware of it and broke away from the soul plane.
Through the dim moonlight, he quickly saw that it was Cherno who had entered.
"Huh. Are you really going to do it?" Leo kept lying on his back, looking at the other party motionlessly, he was very curious. What the hell did Cherno want to do?
From the young man's previous series of abnormal behaviors, Leo already had some guesses about this, who would invite someone he didn't know to his house to spend the night without asking anything, and obviously eager to let the family sleep?
A few seconds later, Cheno's approach to the bed was unmoving.
Leo knew that he was making sure he was asleep, so he deliberately rolled over and kept his eyes in the shadow of the moonlight.
This kind of action suddenly startled Cheno, so he didn't exclaim in surprise, and when he was sure that Leo didn't wake up, he stroked his chest and let out a long breath.
After waiting for a while, Chenno finally couldn't hold it back, and with the lightest movement, picked up the travel cloak that Leo hung beside the bed, and checked it.
"It's ...... Looking for something of value?" Leo guessed in his mind.
Cheno's next move quickly confirmed his thoughts, because all of Leo's belongings were stored in the space ring, and the pocket of the travel cloak was naturally empty.
Finding nothing, Cheno's cloak hung back on the side of the bed and reached for Dragon's Fury.
"Well, don't be scared...... Leo muttered silently.
The next moment, Cheno's hand was on the hilt of the dragon's wrath.
A majestic roar exploded in his mind, and the young man shuddered, unable to control his body and fell to the ground.
The muffled sound of his butt colliding with the ground came, and Leo couldn't continue to pretend to be asleep, so he sat up and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I ......" Cheno's face turned pale and he hesitated, "I want to see how you are sleeping...... I didn't walk steadily, I tripped ......"
"This nonsense is made up, and the reaction is quite fast. Leo laughed to himself and said, "Oh, thank you, I slept well." â
"That's good, that's good. Cherno hurriedly got up and walked out of the house, pondering how strange the sword was, and waiting for an opportunity in the middle of the night.
But before he took two steps, the young man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because he had already remembered that Leo, who had just spoken to him, looked like he had just woken up!
"He's already aware of it, what does he want to do?" Cheno's heart pounded, and his hand unconsciously touched the dagger pinned to his waist, "No, he must have noticed it......! Fight!"
Huo Ran turned around, and Chenno pulled out his dagger and pounced back.
To his surprise, the young man in front of him did not show any panic, but whispered something.
However, Cheno's body was very good because of his perennial farm work, his movements were quick and sharp, and in the blink of an eye, he put the dagger against Leo's neck, just for fear of accidentally injuring the other party, he pointed the blade outward.
Leo swept the dagger with his afterglow and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I ......" was too nervous, but Cheno's ignored that Leo shouldn't be so calm. He gritted his teeth fiercely and put on a vicious expression: "Of course it's a robbery! Don't move, don't scream, I won't hurt you!"
As he spoke, he looked around looking for a rope to tie Leo up, only to find that there was no one in the house.
It's rare to encounter an interesting thing, Leo is not in a hurry to solve it, guesses the other party's diagram, and then says, "Why don't you use a trouser belt?"
"Yes, yes!" Cherno nodded, holding the dagger in one hand and unstrapping his trousers with the other. But his hands were trembling all the time, and he didn't untie it for a long time, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Later, Chenor remembered that he had a dagger, and it would be better to cut it directly, even if he had to get the dagger back from Leo's neck.
However, this pull brought up a new problem, and the dagger seemed to be fixed in place, and no matter how hard his arm worked, it didn't move a bit. (To be continued......)
