Lord Helanza

"Hi, sorry to disturb you again!"

Surdak stared nervously at the portrait of the girl on the magic notebook and asked.

This parchment is a bit dim and yellow, and the portrait of the young girl has no response. She put her hands on her chest in prayer, her eyes pious.

"What is your name?"

Seeing that the girl did not respond, Surdak tentatively asked in a low voice.

The portrait of the girl was still printed quietly on the parchment, and there was still no response.

Surdak felt that he may have just had a hallucination, or it may be caused by being too nervous. He took out another portrait he found from the thief, and put the two portraits together to distinguish them carefully.

Cyrus. There are indeed some differences between the portrait of the girl in Hickok’s magic notebook and the portrait obtained from the robber. The portrait on the magic notebook is more vivid. If you look at it with your eyes for a while, you will find that the portrait of the girl seems to be alive. In the trance, I might even think that the portrait of the young girl would smile, and even blink, and the endless darkness hidden in the eyes of the young girl's portrait disappeared.

As for the portrait in the hands of the thief, it was obviously rubbed with ink. Although it looked like Selena at first glance, Surdak felt that it was due to his own subjective consciousness. Only some similarities between the face and eyebrows can be seen in this portrait, which is far less vivid than the last page of the magic notebook.

Surdak put the two portraits together again, but did not see that the moment he closed the magic notebook, the portrait of the girl on the page quietly made a grimace...

Yes Unknowingly, Surdak unwrapped the hemostatic bandage on his leg, and the buffing effect of "Blessed Body" failed. The blood hole in the calf began to ache, and the flesh and blood in the hole wriggled continuously, as if there was an invisible force. I was tearing the wound forcefully, and the wound that was already close to healing became bloody again. Although there was a faint Holy Light Power around the wound, it could not prevent the injury from getting worse.

Surdak frowned, Holy Light Power is not without a little effect on the curse of black magic, but with little effect.

Only the last two sand wolf heads are left in the magic waist bag. If you want to continue to get the buff effect of the body of the gods, you must continuously sacrifice these low-level sacrifices, leaving these two sands The wolf head can last up to 4 more days, but recently the nodes in the body have been lit a lot. In just a few days, almost a hundred nodes on the chest were lit up and emitted.

Every time in a dream, these lighted nodes are together with Surdak Sea of ​​Consciousness fuse. Those lighted nodes form a three-dimensional star map in the sky formed by the spiritual world, Surdak’s Divine Consciousness floats in the sky, these nodes emit a faint light, continuously nourishing Surdak's Divine Consciousness, but it makes Surdak Divine Consciousness a lot stronger.

What makes Surdak feel a little helpless is that although the Holy Light Power in the body has increased, there is still no way to suppress the breath of the black curse.

Maybe some of the lowest-level offerings can be bought in magic shops, Surdak thought.

The light in the bedroom next door still hasn’t turned on. The two little girls, Linna and Nedra, probably haven’t returned to the Knight Academy yet. I hope this snow will not have any experience for them. Too much influence.

After a simple sacrifice ceremony, the blood hole on the leg slowly shrank again...

Snowy night, the night lights of Helanza city were dim.

The howling of wild beast came from the dark pine forest outside the city.

A team of armored guards stepped on the thick snow and passed between the wall stacks. This is the winter night in Helanza City.

……

In the sword hall of Knight Academy, Surdak now spares some time every week to practice swords here.

At the moment, he is holding a wooden sword similar to a Western rapier. This wooden sword is light in texture and thinner. As long as you apply a little force, the wooden sword will break.

The reason why Surdak chose such a wooden sword is to let him give up his strength in terms of strength, so that in the battle, he will be improved in sword technique skills. Surdak wears a set of soft leather Light armor, wearing a protective mask on his head, holding his breath, staring attentively at the thin sword in the hands of the female Swordsman, I saw that the sword suddenly disappeared from the female Swordsman's hands, and suddenly appeared in the lower left corner in the next second. Coming out, it was like a black spot in Surdak, piercing his abdomen.

Only a Western rapier can perform a'stab' from such a weird angle. Some you can't guard against it, he is busy handing out the wooden sword in his hand, trying to pick up the pierced one. The sword, but when the sword in his hand was swung out, the stabbing cold glow instantly exploded in Surdak's eyes, just like dozens of arrows shot at Surdak at the same time, forming a rain waterfall in his eyes.

Surdak squatted almost reflexively, put on a defensive posture, swung his right arm out to block the sword in front of him, retracted the wooden sword in his hand, and pointed directly at the female Swordsman's heart.

The rapier in the hands of the female Swordsman on the opposite side instantly clicked on Surdak’s right arm, her light body vacated and, avoiding a sword stabbed by Surdak, the rapier was drawn in front of Surdak’s chest. The white unrolled bolt of white silk forced Surdak back half a step. The dense sword force stabs Surdak continuously. The rapier in Surdak’s hand is forced to defend each time. Without the shield in the right hand, he can only use his hands. The wooden sword in the parry against the opponent's wooden sword, there was no effective offensive for a while, and it was forced to defend from beginning to end.

The movements of the two people in the practice room are a bit dazzling. The female Swordsman has already secreted a layer of sweat on her forehead. Her light body flashed and moved, and the sweat swayed fell on the oak floor. Her face was flushed a bit, and it took a lot of physical energy to maintain this continuous fast break, and she gradually couldn't bear it.

However, although Surdak on the opposite side has been forced to defend, his body is like a black reef in a stormy sea. No matter how violent and rapid the attack is, there is no way to break Surdak's defense. The female Swordsman faintly appeared behind her body. A Swordsman wearing silver armor came out. Then her speed increased a lot, and her body's balance ability was also significantly improved. The moment she jumped high, her body twisted into an incredible angle in midair. The wooden sword in his hand quickly pierced out, Surdak was caught off guard, and the wooden sword in his hand was kicked away by the opposite female Swordsman...

...

Daxi Christie barely He pressed the wooden sword against Surdak's chest, a proud smile filled the corners of his mouth.

This time, Darcy Christie won the match again. Her breathing seemed a bit rapid, and the light leather armor on her body was almost soaked in sweat. She dropped the wooden sword in her hand and sat paralyzed. On a bench by the wall of the practice room, every time she competes with Surdak with a sword, she will exhaust her last bit of physical strength, and after every sword with a sword, the next time she wants to win, she will have to exert more physical strength than the previous one. .

She has become an arrow at the end of its flight, and she doesn't even want to move a finger.

The maid waiting at the side hurriedly handed over a bottle of light purple vitality potion. Darcy Christie took it in her hand, pulled out the cork of the bottle, and poured the vitality potion down. This is a quick way A magic potion that restores physical strength, relieves physical fatigue, and stimulates body functions to quickly return to a normal state. This kind of potion also has a hidden effect, that is, if you drink it when your physical strength is exhausted, it will make the user improve some physique.

This kind of'vital potion' is not only expensive, but it is also difficult to buy in the magic market of Helanza nowadays. All the supply is in the hands of the nobles.

As the leading Christie family in Helanza City, of course they can get a share of the vitality potion, but the younger generation of the Christie family is not the only one with Darcy Christie, so she can share the vitality in her hands. There are only two bottles of medicine per month.

Surdak knows how expensive this thing is, and the effect of the vitality potion looks like a simplified version of the "Blessed Body".

The maid took a dry towel and wiped the sweat from her face and neck for Darcy Christie, and covered her face with a warm towel. On the back of the chair, stretch your body as much as possible, so that the medicinal power of the vitality potion can be quickly transmitted to the limbs, so that you can fully use the medicinal power to improve yourself.

"Surdak, do you want to join our winter hunt?" Darcy Christie covered her face with a warm towel, but it didn't affect her chat.

Moreover, this kind of hard-to-win taste can make her feel a great satisfaction.

Surdak closed his eyes and sat on the floor of the practice room with his knees bent. How can I resist the sword that I just stabbed.

Hearing Daxi’s invitation, he asked curiously: "Where are you going? If it's just hunting wild boars and gray wolves in the forest, I'm not interested."

In the past, Surdak would categorically refuse, but now for him, hunting outside the city is also one of the ways to obtain the sacrifices needed for the sacrifice ceremony. Those low-level demonic beast heads are currently what he needs most urgently.

Daxi Christie said: "Go to the snowy ridge in the Paglos Mountains, where there are often sand wolves. If you are good luck, you may be able to catch snow monsters or mountain lions..."

Surdak opened his eyes, turned his head and looked towards Dassy Christie and asked: "When are you going to go?"

Dassy Christie is still lying on the bench, letting it go The maid slackens the muscles that are almost twisted together on her body, humming and saying, "If it gets colder, the snow will have to fall a little bit more. When the demonic beast can't find food, she will run from the mountain. Come out, Bird has a manor over there, we can all borrow there, it’s a vacation..."

"Okay, when the time comes, count me, I really want to Hunt some sand wolves." Surdak touched his magic pocket, there are still two sand wolf heads left in it, but it is clear that Darcy Christie can't keep up with this hunting activity.

Surdak got up from the ground, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, and said hello to Darcy Christie: "I have something to do, let’s go one step ahead..."

Before Akane Christie had time to ask Surdak where she was going to go, Surdak had already walked out of the practice room, only a'bang' door closed.

……

Surdak is going to return to Wall Village overnight this weekend. Before that, he needs to go around in the magic grocery store to see if he can buy something like sand wolf head. Low-level sacrificial offerings, otherwise once the buffing effect of the'Blessed Body' disappears and the leg injury recurs halfway, it will be really troublesome.

Moreover, he has to take the opportunity to buy a batch of gifts to take back, so he has to rush to take a stroll before the market is over.

Surdak changed his clothes and left the sword hall, then went to the stables to pull out the Gubolai horse, and rode to the leather shop of the Aibe Leatherworking Master to complete the last process. Take out the base material of the magic pattern structure. These three sets of magic pattern construction substrates look very different from the high level salamander leather armor obtained by Surdak before. The seams of the three sets of magic pattern construction substrates leather armor are almost invisible. And there is a large area of ​​white space on the leather armor, probably because the Inscription Master seals the magic pattern array at these positions.

There are three Inscription Masters in Helanza, but if you want to ask them to make magic patterns for themselves, it is basically impossible at the moment. It is said that the order received by the three inscription Masters, the least one is also It’s coming next fall. The way to make magic patterns is to make an appointment with the Devil Crystal Stone and then make an appointment with an Inscription Master.

But now, it seems that in a short period of time, it is impossible to have any Inscription Master who can make magic patterns for Surdak.

Apart from this, the high production cost of the magic pattern construction is enough to make Surdak speechless. All the assets of Surdak now add up, only enough to buy a set of magic pattern construction, next spring Wall The village will continue to build reservoirs, and Surdak also wants to clean up the tidal flats on the lower reaches of the village. These things will cost a lot of money. This is not the time to consider making magic patterns.

A variety of frozen meats appear the most in the winter market. Relatively speaking, vegetables and fruits have become very few, and basically only those that can be hoarded.

In this season, some frozen marine fish will be transported from the coastal city of Grimm Empire, piles of frozen deep-frozen fish are piled in the market, and the price of an arm-sized sea bream Around the four Silver Coins, Surdak could imagine that many villagers in Wall Village hadn't eaten sea fish for about half their lives, so they bought some.

A Knight who bought a large amount of ingredients came to the market. Of course, this scene could not escape the eyes of other businesses.

So when Surdak led the horse through the market, many shops would yell hard, trying to attract Surdak’s attention. Surdak picked some frozen pork legs and wheat flour to buy it. In the end, he bought some ham from the southern provinces, cheese from Durva province, etc. It was not until his magic waist was packed full of ingredients that the purchase was ended.

Leaving the market full of goods, Surdak visited several magic grocery stores, and finally saw a row of magic antelope heads hanging on the shelves in a magic grocery store...
