Chapter 8: Reading and Practicing Martial Arts (Part I)
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sky was crisp.
In the end, Evan didn't get his wish, and in a daze, he heard someone chirping, noisy like a flock of birds.
When I opened my eyes, there was no one in the tent, which was strange. At this time, the voice came from the front, crisp and cheerful, "Sister Fiona, you are so powerful, just teach me." ”
"I really can't help you, okay, we'll practice again when we have time in the afternoon, and we'll have to patrol the camp later." "The sound is cold and magnetic, only our new general, Fiona, but it sounds a little helpless. Ai Wen knows Koloai, and it's not easy to be entangled by her, it seems that Koloai has once again used her natural powers, and everyone loves her, Fiona, a woman who has never been so kind to me.
"Thank you, sister. "People have beautiful mouths and sweet coloai.
At this time, a slightly unfamiliar female voice came in, with a heavy tone, it was the tall Zhuoer from yesterday, and Mourning Night was obviously quite interested, "I'll come too, together." ”
Ai Wen listened to the intermittent chatter of the three of them, and was a little puzzled, the three of them shouldn't have known each other before, right, and they became so familiar in less than half a day?
"Oh, no, I'm still wearing my skirt and armor, and I have to go back to Stone Castle. "It's Koloai's voice, I guess I didn't bring a martial arts uniform, but I don't have to run back to it, why is it so hypocritical.
"No, I have it here. "Fiona is still reliable.
"I want it too. "Mourning is cheeky.
"Wait a minute, I can't see if that's enough. After saying that, there was a turning sound, which seemed to be deeper, and after tossing for a while, I heard Fiona's voice again, "Fortunately, there are three more." ”
"I want that white one. ”
"Black. ”
"Then I'm red. ”
Does Fiona usually have so many training uniforms? and colors? I said it too quickly to hear clearly. Forget it, let's go out, it doesn't feel good to eavesdrop.
"By the way, where is Ai Wen? haven't you woken up yet?" Hearing this, Ai Wen silently withdrew his right foot, this girl is not called a young master now, I didn't find that she still likes white, and she usually wears a green dress. What? eavesdropping is not a gentleman? what is a gentleman? can you eat it? if you can, put more chili peppers.
"Ah, that kid, he's still in the back of the sub-tent, and he tossed and turned for half a night in the first half of the night. Fiona's voice became a little lazy, and she was woken up early in the morning by the father and daughter of Koloai and Herman, plus one Drow, and now she was sleepy.
"Hey, no, it's... You guys... Toss, half a night?" Koloai's voice suddenly shrivelled, a little incredulous.
Ai Wen pulled his mouth, even if it was true, what did you do with such a big reaction, it made me feel a little weak.
Fiona was puzzled at first, but then reacted, crying and laughing, what is this girl's little head thinking?" Look at you nervous, my sister doesn't like scoundrels, it's just that he was sick last night and was busy for half the night. ”
"What's the matter, sister, don't talk nonsense, I'm just worried that my sister will be deceived and suffer a loss, and he will deceive people. Koloai waved her hands and said quickly.
Evan gritted his teeth, hehe, in terms of deception, that's your opponent.
Fiona smiled silently and ate melons quietly at night.
"I went to see him, so that I would not be scolded by my father. "Koloai clearly wanted to escape.
Evan hurried back to the couch and turned his face inside to pretend to sleep, if he let them know that he was eavesdropping, the ghost knew what would happen.
Fiona obviously didn't stop it, as soon as Ai Wen lay down, the three of them lifted the curtain and walked in, and the east, west, north and south were placed on the top of the couch as a whole, and Ai Wen was wrapped in a blanket and fell asleep, with a steady breath.
Koloai muttered, "It's really uneasy, I'm still sick when I go out." He stepped forward, bent down, stretched out his arm, and touched Aiwen's forehead, his hair hung down, sparing Aiwen's neck, but his cheeks felt a little soft.
"It's a little burning. Koloai was a little worried, why hadn't she retreated yet.
Fiona was also a little strange, obviously she was already alive in front of her, why did she have a fever again? ”
Hearing this, Koloai didn't bother with it, and agreed: "Hmm." "I'm just going to come back and have a look later, and in case it's not all right, I'm going to call my father over.
Seeing the two of them like this, Mourning Miye glanced at it curiously, turned his back, didn't see it, and was a little bored, "Okay, okay, they are all martial arts, how big can it be, look at the trouble between you two, let's continue to try on clothes, I don't feel a little small." ”
Mourning is nearly two meters tall, and it is indeed a lot taller than Fiona, but the training clothes are relatively wide, and the bundle is loose, do you want to give it a try?
Fiona quickly coughed and interrupted the mourning night, "Let's go, go out and talk about it, don't wake him up." ”
Koloai and Ai Mi Ye looked at Fiona, Coloe thought about whether to remind Fiona to pay attention to it, why did she keep coughing, but Ai Mi Ye was thoughtful, and glanced at the couch, but she couldn't understand it.
Seeing this, Fiona hurriedly took the lead and walked out, and Koloai and Mourn Ye glanced at each other and followed.
Evan felt that they were all out, so he turned over and sat up, exhaled, okay, okay, one step faster. Then I saw that the curtain was lifted again, and then the voice came, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and take off the cloak, and come out at once." "It's Fiona. Evan hurriedly prepared to lie down, but as soon as he lifted the blanket, he bumped into Fiona's black and white eyes, and the two of them stared at each other.
There was a sound of urging behind him, Fiona turned her head and agreed, and glanced at Ai Wen when she came in, I already knew that your kid was awake, Shi Shiran walked to the hanger and took off the standard cloak, looked at the door curtain, and said in a low voice: "Your little lover can't help but have short legs, and his chest is also very soft." ”
Ai Wen looked embarrassed, "What are you talking nonsense, don't let her hear it, otherwise I won't have a good life." ”
Fiona raised her good-looking eyebrows and let out a meaningful sigh. Ai Wen couldn't stand this woman who was almost thirty, pointed outside, and motioned for her to hurry out, and don't recruit the other two later.
Fiona snorted, put on her cloak, and turned to leave, but pointed to a box in the corner and said, "You can go to the box and look for books to read, don't wander around, you know?"
Ai Wen responded: "Don't worry, I'm still a little sleepy and don't have the heart to wander around." ”
Fiona yawned, took a slouched gesture, nodded, and lifted the curtain and left.
Evan walked on the couch for a while this time, and waited until there was another intermittent conversation in front of him before he sat up, and he didn't have the heart to listen to them, so he walked to the corner, opened the box, and saw what books there were. I've been a little busy these two days, and I haven't read much well, so I shouldn't be.
The items in the box are neatly placed, on the left side are a few stacks of books, look at the top of the books, most of them are military laws and military strategies and the like, and there are fleet formations, large ship maintenance, and navigation chronicles when you flip down, and you are really a naval general. Suddenly, Ai Wen saw a particularly thick book underneath, and after thinking about it, Ai Wen first took out several sets of standard armor and uniforms on the right side of the box, and then slowly put the book on the top to the right, until he saw the thick book, the cover was slightly old, and the words General History of the Mainland were written. Ai Wen was quite surprised, it has been more than 10,000 years since the Atrium Continent had giant records of words, who dares to say that he can write this book, could it be that liar who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky is making it up.
Ai Wen tried to take it out, not to mention, it was still a little heavy, really thick, about the thickness of the hilt of the sword in the north and south. Ai Wen put the book on several cases, and turned the title page of the letter suspiciously, which can be praised for his dedication if it was made up by a liar. Before he could look at it, Ai Wen suddenly remembered that the box was still open, so he got up again to pack the box, re-stacked the armor and uniform, and returned the object to its place, and then returned to the case with satisfaction.
It turned out to be an elven language, with a crooked line written on it, this is the book of the great scholar Clever and lovely Yama Yufeng, you can't read it, including mom and dad, except for my brother.
The style of language, the standard elf surname, but how is this sentence so similar to the piece of paper that Ai Wen pasted in front of the door when he was a child, outsiders can't enter, otherwise they will bear the consequences, and my sister doesn't count. And Aven's handwriting is a little prettier.
If it weren't for the smooth writing of the following lines and the full power of the pen, Ai Wenzhen would have thrown the book back.
Humanity laughs at us in the shadows, just as we once mocked giants, arrogance and endless wars are about to destroy the elves, and we are still addicted to it, the abyss, one step away.
Ai Wen frowned, the High Elf language he learned from his master when he was a child was almost forgotten, and it was a little difficult to read, so this is a book written by elves? Elven Civil War, in the Middle Ages, is it the same person?
There is a line of small words below, but it is the lingua franca of mankind, and the people of today are like yesterday.
The biggest lesson that history has taught those who come after it is that no one has ever learned a lesson, history is constantly repeating, elves are like this, and humans are like this. Ai Wen was inexplicably a little helpless, and the reader also felt helpless when he read the helplessness written by the writer.
After calming down, Ai Wen turned the title page, no longer as casual as before, sat upright, and solemnly said.
It's still elven, as expected.
The giants say that it is Ymir the Father who created everything and created the Atrium world, and they are the direct descendants of the Father, the rightful successor, the Father God Son, and the theocracy.
So these big men of the sunset mountains spend their days wishing to restore the glory of their ancestors and belittle us, but it is possible for the father Ymir to create everything, please forgive me for my disrespectful words, but the giants consider themselves superior to the elves, quite rude and unfounded. We were also born of the Father's flesh and blood, born of magic and handsome, like me. Obviously, the elves are superior to the giants who only know brute strength, and it is only by letting the giants take the lead that they are forced to lie dormant in the last era.
Now that magic is prevalent and the continent is prosperous, time has proved that the elves are the beloved sons of the Father and God, and we are the true heirs.
Then there is a large narrative, mostly creation legends, in which there is a huge demon wolf Griffin, a great snake that sets off a monstrous wave as soon as it moves, and many gods, they rule the entire Atrium Continent, and the gods are as powerful as a prison, enveloping the world. Then, one day, the gods suddenly disappeared, and the behemoths that once ran rampant also ceased to appear, inexplicably without a trace, leaving only the myth passed down by word of mouth, which continues to this day.
Seeing this, Ai Wen also remembered that now, for the gods, human beings still uphold the etiquette, but there is not much awe, time is silent, washing is silent. What I usually hear the most is that the gods kill each other for the sake of divine power, and the atrium continent is shattered, and the gods themselves are destroyed.
Today's Sea of Storms is said to be the battlefield of the Great Demon Kraken and the gods, and the originally connected continents were interrupted, the ground was sunken, and the sea water poured back, forming the largest inland sea in the Atrium Continent. The reason why the Sea of Storms is raging in the storm and the spatial disorder is that the elemental riot caused by the Great War back then is difficult to quell.
Whether the gods disappeared suddenly, or the jade was burned in the war of the gods, since the ancient giants spread across the continent, the gods rarely appeared, and in the Middle Ages, they completely stopped responding to believers, which is also an important reason for the sharp decline of religious power and the gradual rise of the aristocracy.
There is also a small note next to it, using the lingua franca of mankind, the disappearance of the gods is not a bad thing for us, if the gods still exist, then what reason do the giants, elves, dwarves, and humans stand on the earth?
Ai Wen felt a little extreme, but also a little hesitant, when you are so weak that you can only look up to the strong and thirst for mercy, it is tantamount to a human sword, and I am a fish. The gods are high, whether they are like humans looking down on ants, life and death are a thought, it all depends on mood.
Inexplicably, I was a little glad.
Turning backwards, it is mostly a record of mythological stories and legends of giants, which is fair, not as derogatory as the beginning of the giants, and of course not much praise.
Turning a few pages, a black and white illustration appeared, the painting style is somewhat dark and unique to the Middle Ages, two flames rotate in a reverse and two rings, divided into four places by the middle doji, the doji is long up and down and short left and right, and the black dots around it fall into the stars, black and white, and two words are written below, the sun.
The Giants worship the sun, mostly totems, this is an obvious totem of the Giant Tribe, why is it painted here? The feet are compatible with water and fire, the clothes are simple, the chest is open, and the face without facial features is behind a huge halo, the halo is double circle, the opposite is the sun totem in front, this is the leader of the giants? Or a certain god, the supreme god of the legendary giant clan, the sun god? No, the father god Yumir was mentioned earlier, by the way, now in the legend, the giant family worships the sun god, and Yumir is the first giant in the rumor, which fits this image, Yumir is the sun god.
Shaking his head, can't he explain it below? The writer is so lazy.
Turning again, it is another painting, the same black picture scroll, the whole page is a circle, a little strange, although the mouth is not solid, but it gives people the feeling of a round moon, the two sides continue to outline black lines to fill the shadows, the end of the arc-shaped line is slightly warped, like a branch, derived from the edge of the moon inward, half light and half dark. The same two words below, moon.
That's right, the elves worship the moon, which is completely different from the giants, but the elven moon god should be a female figure, why is it also called Yumir the Father? Sure enough, when you continue to turn the page, the next page is a female elf, surrounded by wind, rain, thunder and lightning, sitting on the full moon with the upper mouth half-open, one foot raised, the same bent on the moon, and the other foot suspended above the earth.
What's even more strange is that one hand is on his cheek, the other hand is casually on his upturned leg, holding a round of sun, which is the double-ringed doji sun, looking forward, as if looking at people outside the book. Different from the picture of the sun god, there are three words written under this picture of the goddess, Ymir.
Ewen was silent, the current High Elves obviously believe in the moon goddess Elune, what's the matter, this is obviously a portrait of the elven goddess, why is it written about Ymir? Isn't Ymir the first giant? Also, such a casual, even a little frivolous, is it really a god that cannot be looked at? Aven suspected that this was made up.
I flipped through the back, hoping that there would be an explanation later, but I didn't find it, and I was quite annoyed for a while, how to write a book without a head. Evan flipped back to see if there was anything missing, but he still couldn't find a description of the three gods Ymir, the sun, and the moon, and he was a little disappointed, and he planned to continue reading, so he was going to listen to the story to relieve his boredom, or a medieval female elf telling a story, why is it a woman? Aiwen's hand paused, and the handwriting looked at the four paintings and the previous narrative repeatedly, an elf girl with poor pen skills, can she draw so vividly?
Aven gave up his research, intending to continue reading it and explore it again when he had the opportunity to do so later. Look at an elf girl Wenqing who is unfamiliar with writing, trying to write a magnificent masterpiece, but it is mostly a sense of diary, not majestic enough, but interesting.
However, Ai Wen didn't be able to see much, not because he couldn't stand it, but when Koloe came in, Ai Wen's eyes couldn't be taken off.
A plain white long skirt, full of carved patterns, fine and neat, from the close-fitting shoulder straps to the strong texture of the skirt, the waist is slightly tucked, and the lower skirt hangs straight down. It is not as gorgeous as the wardrobe of the ladies, not as noble as the court, but it is extremely noble, elegant and pure, like a legacy in the world.
In particular, Koloai did not wear her long pale blonde hair as usual, but carefully coiled her hair in a bun on it, and a strand of hair slipped out quietly, slid down against her small crystal earlobes, and slid down to her chin, fluttering.
Koloai didn't expect that Ai Wen had woken up, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly took a step back, and when she was about to retreat, Ai Wen hurriedly shouted: "You are here." "I don't know.
Koloe blinked, walked back slowly, wearing a long-sleeved hollow glove hand, covering the neckline, Ai Wen really wanted to say, you don't need to cover it, it is a shoulder-length half-sleeved long skirt, plus it's not that big, I can't see it, but in order to live to eat today's lunch, I didn't dare to say it.
Koloai looked at Aiwen's face, it was quite normal, white and red, still the same little white face, still the same squint, it seemed to be fine, put his mind at ease, raised his eyebrows, "Why are you here, you didn't go home last night, did you practice swords in the afternoon? I don't care about you, but if something happens to you, it will cause me and my father to suffer. ”
If Ai Wen didn't know that this little girl had come early, he would have been really weak-hearted, and said along with her words: "Well, I was cold from the rain yesterday, and I didn't have the strength to go back, so I rested here for the night, and I won't be next time." ”
Koloai was noncommittal, and snorted, "It doesn't matter to you, love is not returned, just don't die." ”
Ai Wen held his chest in his hands, made a heartbroken expression, and suppressed his voice, "You are so ruthless. ”
Koloai felt a chill, felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up, picked up a glove in her hand and smashed it, fluttering, and was caught by Aven reaching out, wanting to smell it, but didn't dare.
Koloai stretched her face, didn't speak, walked over and stretched out her hand to pull it back, Ai Wen wanted to hide, but looking at this girl, she relented for no reason and let go.
Koloe rolled her eyes, turned around and walked out quickly, too lazy to talk nonsense, and then Evan noticed that this girl was also wearing a pair of high heels, no wonder she felt a lot taller just now, and thought it was because she was sitting.
Ai Wen watched Koloe walk out, sat in a daze, and suddenly felt excited, they said earlier, isn't the white and red martial arts uniforms? Ai Wen thought that Fiona and Wai Mi Ye were wearing the same long dress, one red and one black, plus Koloai, this is going to kill someone, touch his nose, calm and calm, color is empty, empty is color. Ai Wen took a few cases, and he couldn't read the book anymore, so it was better to go out for a walk and relax.
Saying go, I was excited, I heard the laughter from the tent in front of me, my steps were lighter, and at ten o'clock, the sun was just right.
Ai Wen walked in with great interest, and deliberately brushed his hair and clothes, and the three people in the main account stopped talking when they saw someone coming in, and they all looked over, Qiu Ju Chunhua, each with its own merits.
Evan was disappointed, not only did Fiona and Mourn not wear it, but even Chloe changed back into that cyan dress. However, in the eyes of the three of them, who were curious, questioning, or disdainful, Ai Wen's face did not change, he shook his hand, and said lightly: "It's all here, so early." ”
Mourning wanted to say hello, but her hands were half raised, but seeing that Fiona and Koloai did not move, they quietly folded back, and the atmosphere was embarrassing for a while.
Just when Ai Wen was standing at the door, neither walking nor entering, the kind voice of the old man of the housekeeper sounded behind him, "Everyone is here, why is the young master standing at the door." ”
Evan exhaled, turned around and patted the old man butler, yes, not bad, loyal and reliable Herman, "Old man, I haven't seen you for a day, I miss it very much." ”
The old man of the housekeeper had long been accustomed to the young master's usual unobtrusive appearance, and nodded calmly, but what Ke Luoai saw was itchy teeth and smooth tone.
Ai Wen wanted to continue to tease, but when he saw the old man's face suddenly change, staring at him, frowning, Ai Wen retracted his arm and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, it's just careless." ”
The old man was unusually stern, and his tone was aggravated, "Young master." ”
Ai Wen hurriedly winked at Koloai and motioned for help, although Koloai was happy to make a fool of Ai Wen, but since this guy asked for help, he reluctantly helped him, "Father, Ai Wen was just sick yesterday and didn't do anything." "As soon as Evan heard it, he knew that he was going to suffer, is this girl so tacit?
The old man didn't say anything, he held down Ai Wen, and before Ai Wen escaped, he knocked him unconscious. Koloai hurriedly came up to support Ai Wen, her face puzzled, "Father, what are you doing?"
The old man shook his head and sighed, "He is mentally unstable and his body is not strong. ”
"Ah, how could it be? He's so resistant, ah no, I mean, so rough and thick-skinned. Koloe stuck out her tongue.
"Compared to the soul. ”
"I don't understand. "Koloai has always had a smooth ride, and there are no hurdles at all.
At this time, Fiona also walked up, a little worried for a while, let your kid open the sky with a sword, this is a problem. "What then?"
The old man of the housekeeper smiled kindly, "What can I do, fight." ”
"Huh?" said Koloe Ammon.
The old man of the housekeeper rubbed his daughter's head, and he would put his hair in a bun, "It's the same as striking iron, and it's made into steel, there's no other way." ”
As he spoke, he bowed half-bow to Fiona, "And thank you for being knocked unconscious once." "After the swordsman breaks the demon, the sword qi will be different, and in the eyes of the old man in the housekeeper, it is very conspicuous.
Fiona was a little flattered, and hurriedly returned the salute, and was a little embarrassed, "You are very polite, easy to do, hehe." ”
The old man in charge nodded, "I'll take the young master back first, the young master needs to take care of it for a while, there will be a lot of trouble for the general here, if there is anything you need to help, just let Caiying send a message to the stone castle, and I won't bother for the time being." ”
Fiona nodded yes, "Okay, don't worry. ”
The old man of the housekeeper immediately signaled that Mourning Miye would also go together, and it would be a good craftsman to strike iron.
Mourning was confused, what was going on, how could I not understand, but it seems that this little young master does not seem to be in good health, and finally there is a stupid lord with many money, but don't be out of luck, get up and hurry up.
Fiona sent several people out of the camp to avoid trouble on the way. Together, Koloai and Mourn helped Aven to the carriage, which Fiona had asked him to find. The old man of the housekeeper saluted Fiona again, said goodbye, and left, thinking that this girl was really good, and if the young master married in the future, it would be a blessing.
Fiona saw that the group was gone, and turned back, there was still a lot of work to be done, and with Mr. Herman here, the boy had nothing to worry about.
