Destiny Thief

Chapter 7 The Umpton Mine II
After sitting upright and listening to the routine and unnutritive reports of the sheriff and the material officer, the atmosphere in the conference room returned to silence.This silent atmosphere is like a powder keg that is gradually heating up. While feeling the rising blood pressure, Lord Nogo Adam Aronius' eyes become more serious.

The nobles present seemed to have sensed the change in the lord's mood, and buried their heads lower one by one.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Adam Aronius, who already understood the virtues of the nobles in these places, couldn't help sighing. Many of the nobles present are his juniors, and he grew up watching them. From a child to a teenager, from a teenager to a coming-of-age ceremony, and then to inheriting the title, he became a true Elante nobleman.

In the days leading up to the Sixth Eta War, Karthus and even the nobles of Nogo were never like this.Strong-willed and passionate, even in the face of difficulties, he will not indulge in sickness, depravity, and self-pity.They are full of masculinity - but now, those beautiful adjectives have nothing to do with the pile of lifeless statues in the conference room
Nobles of Nogo, what happened?
Could it be that those high-spirited aristocratic youths, those outstanding talents, experienced the blood and fire of the Sixth Eta War, and their backs and spirits were completely broken by the blades of the Tarcias?
Adam closed his eyes in pain.

This is the second meeting of nobles in Karthus City at the end of August in 553, the continental calendar. The atmosphere of the meeting this time is the same as before, but this time he did not roar at the long table of the meeting as usual, nor did he scold his subordinates for their incompetence. and inaction.

He finally felt a little tired.

The meeting came to an end quickly in the collective silence. The hourglass in the meeting room showed that half an hour had passed, but Adam felt that there was no need to continue the meeting. He wore a velvet cloak and walked out of the conference room without looking back, without even looking at the nobles.

Leaving with Adam Aronius was his staff member, a civilian youth who was born in the military. While closing the door of the conference room gently, this young man glanced at the nobles present with a meaningful look in his eyes , seems to contain multiple emotions.

But the nobles only saw something called pity in this gaze - it was the gaze of an old dog crawling on the ground and only begging for food in the dark corner of the street.

"Bastard—that bastard Lecter, I want to fight him!"

When the footsteps of the lord Adam Aronius's departure gradually became faint and almost inaudible, the peaceful conference room seemed to be thrown into a lake of stones, which instantly stirred up waves.

A young nobleman with a slender figure and a handsome face finally couldn't help but burst out after a long period of emotional suppression, pulled out his sword and shouted through the door, gnashing his teeth.

However, apart from the chirping of a few sparrows in the lord's mansion, he did not receive any response.

Most of the other nobles present at the meeting remained calm, but they were no longer in the silent state of walking corpses before, and they all bowed their heads and whispered.

"Old Bill's brothel has some good new ones, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Would it be better than my little beauty called Nightingale?"

Conversations like this began to pervade the conference room, and the nobles seemed to feel that the heavy heart just now became joyful again.

……

Miss Radia Klein is also in a very happy mood.

A full moon hung high in the dark blue night sky.

Miss Radiya, who had been staying in her own small room, lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep, finally took off her disguise at this moment. She tiptoed to the door and listened to the movement for a while, confirming that everyone in the Hampton Mine had fallen asleep. Finally, the young lady hummed a minstrel in her nostrils, and quickly drew the curtains on the window.

Repeatedly checked the airtightness of the doors and windows, as if still uneasy, the lady took out a bundle of paper strips soaked in water, and tried to stuff them into the gaps in the doors and windows until the whole work was over. The young lady sat down at a small wooden table with peace of mind, and smilingly took out a piece of parchment with a drawing on it, as well as a few red gemstones that shone strangely.

"ya—ka—su—tami—"

After arranging the red gemstones one by one according to the pattern on the parchment, Miss Radia carefully pressed her hands on the parchment, a long series of slow syllables full of strange rhythms dragging a long tail from here The young lady spit it out clearly from her lips.

From the top of the parchment, there seemed to be a monster's mouth that could spit out smoke rings, circle after circle of light red mist continuously rose with a balanced frequency, but these mist circles did not spread, as if in the air There is a vortex of air flow, which firmly forms a ball of these red mist and controls the top of the table.

Miss Radiya's expression was rare and solemn, and the aria-style casting spell made her breathing quickly become short of breath, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead—the red mist in the air seemed to be given life, as if Like a whale sucking water, it rushed to her nostrils with the breath wave after wave.

After more than half an hour passed, the red mist disappeared completely. Miss Radiya stretched her waist, wiped off the sweat from her forehead with her hand, showed a smug smile, and then patted her flat chest lightly. , put away the parchment on the table and the gems that had lost their red brilliance and turned transparent.

"fe-bo!"

After completing all this, Miss Radia did not fall asleep peacefully. As if to confirm a certain doubt in her heart, Miss Radiya got up and left the small wooden table, walked to the open space in the room, and made a simple gesture of casting a spell.

From the fingertips of his right hand, a fist-sized orange fireball suddenly rose...

……

The night passed quickly.

The warm sunlight at the end of midsummer in the Northland projected into the room through the gaps in the curtains. A carp jumped up from the bed, and when he looked back and saw the eye-catching word "Tai" on the bed sheet, the corners of Glo's mouth twitched a little. Down, hastily smoothed the sheets.

It's nice to be young!

After doing some washing, Glo walked to the window and opened the curtains, and then stretched out his hand to open the window.

The fresh air poured into the room with the cool morning breeze, as if all the turbidity had been swept away. Feeling the vitality of the young body, Glo picked up the rapier by the bed, opened the door and walked outside.

The south side of the Umpton Mine is the mountain road when I came back, and the other three sides are lush and green hills.Glo's footsteps were brisk, and he hurried along a rough path.

The trail leads to the top of the mountain, and the wind gradually gets stronger, blowing Glo's hair a little scattered, but Glo doesn't pay much attention.Arriving at the top of the mountain in one breath, Glo's forehead was already sweating slightly, but his breathing was still even. Compared with when he first came to take this world, his body's physical strength had strengthened much.

"Character panel!"

On the top of the mountain is a flat land with an area of ​​about [-] square meters. While standing quietly and feeling the cool breeze, Glo turned on the system with a soft cry, and a bright green subtitle box with a unique view suddenly appeared in front of him:

After entering a new level, "strength", "agility", "physical fitness" ", "Spirit", and "Will" five basic attributes have a higher potential upper limit, and when they are reflected in specific characters, the improvement of these attributes must go through certain exercises.
