Miss Witch, please respect yourself

Chapter 122 "Eat"

The soft bright light passed through Shanika's loose hair, making it look mottled.

Roy was lying on the flower bed, looking at Shanika who was only less than [-] centimeters away in front of him, and looking at her soft eyes that were almost dripping water, his eyes were in a trance for a moment.

I still remember that when we first met, the girl sat quietly at the desk, holding a book in one hand and drinking tea in the other, giving people the feeling of an intellectual and elegant big sister.

After getting along with each other later, Roy had a deeper understanding of the girl.

In addition to being intellectual, elegant and gentle, Shanika's expression of emotion is not like a shy girl, she is frank, direct and generous.

As a human being in two lives, Roy is not an emotional novice, not to mention Shanika's strong and fiery emotional expression, as long as he is not an idiot, he can feel it.

But the previous Roy was facing an imminent life-and-death crisis, and he didn't have any extra thoughts to think about the love between his children.

Every bit of his time must be spent on improving his strength and power!

but now.

With the end of the Xinghu incident and the balance exchange incident, Blackstone Collar entered a relatively smooth development period, and Roy was finally able to take a breather.

The relaxation of his heartstrings gave him extra thoughts to face Shanika.

When he helped Shanika completely remove the pollution in the past, Roy knew that Shanika's original sin characteristics were 60% lust and 40% gluttony. After the Xinghu incident, he got the "basic meditation method" passed down to the Witch Society from Cecil After reading the manual, Roy understood that if the witch's strength is to be improved, it is necessary to match the original sin characteristics of her own soul.

Of course, these are not the point, the point is...

Facing a beautiful lady with a hot and strong affection for you, how many people can bear it?

Roy felt that he couldn't bear it.

and so……

Roy stretched out his hands, and under Shanika's slightly widening eyes, he hugged her waist. With a movement of his body, Roy easily reversed the positions of the two sides with a physique comparable to that of the Golden Knight.

Roy looked down at Shanika from a high position, staring at the pupils in her eyes that were once again completely occupied by You Zi, exhaling a scorching breath from his mouth and nose.

Roy caressed the girl's side face with his right hand, and moved it down little by little. During this process, he was always paying attention to the girl's expression. As long as the girl showed any reluctance, he would stop his movements.

But obviously, Roy's idea is completely redundant.

Until his hand stopped, Shanika just looked at him stupidly during the whole process.

"Shanika..."

The scorching breath flowed out of his mouth, making the girl's snow-white skin blush like a rose.

"You just said that you want to eat me?"

"but……"

"Who eats who, maybe?"

Shanika raised her white hands and wrapped them around Roy's neck.

"Really~."

The sound fell, and the candle on the desk not far away suddenly dimmed.

Just like spring.

(slightly)

……

The moon is as cool as water.

After the Fengyang Festival, the crimson moon hanging high in the sky lost its roundness and began to shrink a little bit, and it will not return to fullness until the 15th of the next month.

And the stars in the sky gradually revealed their own starlight as the moonlight dimmed.

Roy sat cross-legged in the courtyard alone.

As for Shanika, she has fallen asleep in her room at this moment.

She is so tired and needs a good rest.

Roy raised his head and looked up at the night sky. At this moment, he felt more peaceful than ever.

Only then did he have a real sense of the world.

Because he has his first real "relative" in this world who can no longer part with him.

On the undulating heart lake, the ripples disappeared little by little, until finally, it became as smooth as a mirror.

Subconsciously, Roy activated the "breathing method of flame".

Seen from the outside world, at this moment, there are tiny red light clusters gathered around his body one after another. As time goes by, the light clusters become more and more bright, and finally turn his body into a whole body. A small sun.

The changes don't stop there.

The red flame burned like a torch overflowing, dispelling the darkness of the night.In the raging flames, a faint, almost negligible pale golden light quietly appeared.

The moment the pale golden light appeared, the expanded torch began to shrink, and finally fit Roy's body surface.

I do not know how long it has been.

Roy slowly opened his eyes, and two red-golden flames flashed in his pupils.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands with a surprised and puzzled expression.

He could feel that with the change of his state of mind, there was a strange and subtle change in his flaming breathing method, but he didn't know what the specific change was for a while.

"Wow..."

A cluster of flames ignited from Roy's palm.

The periphery of the flames is the crimson color of ordinary flames, and because of the addition of battle energy, the color is a little darker than ordinary flames.

The biggest difference between it and ordinary flames and even battle qi flames lies in the color of its center point.

It was a light golden light that was more prominent than morning glow and dusk, and the whole cluster of flames became completely different because of the appearance of this light golden light!
Raising his other hand and lightly touching the flames, Roy felt that apart from the fierceness and bursting of the flames, there were other different properties in this cluster of flames.

How to describe it?
Bright and eye-catching?
No, a more accurate overview should be—brightness.

This is? !
Roy opened his eyes wide in astonishment. He quickly took out the manual that recorded the "Breathing of Flame" from the space ring, and opened it to the beginning of the [Extreme Blossom] section after [Explosive Flame].

"Flame, which brings heat, also brings light."

"Light is the second characteristic of the flame, and it is also called——[Extreme Blossom]."

"call……"

Roy took a deep breath, and there was an expression of surprise or astonishment in his eyes.

Normally, practitioners of the "Flame Breathing Method" must practice the first part of the [Explosive Flame] trait to at least the peak of gold, so that there is a slight possibility of cultivating [Extreme Blossom].

As a matter of fact, among all the current practitioners of the breathing method of flame, even after hundreds of years, only Fuma Soros can achieve a little [Extreme Blossom] at the peak of gold.

Even the number one legend in the empire, the current highest achiever of Breath of Fire, the Duke of the Frontier, Breton Soros, only completed [Extreme Blossom] after stepping into the realm of legend.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to comprehend and cultivate [Extreme Blossom].

You must know that knights who only cultivate the trait of [Explosive Flame] are not weak among the knights who also practice super breathing. Once they cultivate the second trait [Extreme Blossom], their combat power will be greatly increased. It is difficult to find an opponent in the same rank, even if it is a small stage in the legendary rank, there is a possibility of victory.

If not, could the Duke of the Frontier be honored as "The First Legendary Knight of the Empire"?
If you have cultivated the third characteristic [Natural Birth], it will be terrible. The combat power of the same level is close to that of the Great Witch, and there is even the possibility of defeating the Great Witch alone.

Of course, so far, no one has cultivated the third characteristic of the breathing method of flame [primary birth]. Even the creator of the breathing method of flame only proposed this theoretically possible realm, and he himself has not practiced it. Succeeded.

Let's not talk about these for now.

In the courtyard, Roy held his right hand to extinguish the red gold flame in his palm.

With the additional fighting spirit of [Extreme Blossom], there has been a huge change, so that Roy can't wait to find an opponent to test it on the spot.

But it was getting late at this moment, and there was no rush to try it out.

Roy closed his eyes and continued to practice the "Flame Breathing Method". He was going to experience it himself first, whether the addition of the fighting energy with the characteristic of [Extreme Blossom] has changed the effect of tempering the body.

……

"Sorry..."

When dawn just broke, at the gate of the lord's mansion, Red, who was fully prepared, led a full [-] formal knights on the road to Chiling to buy food.

In addition to the official knights, there are also forty apprentice knights who will be in charge of driving the cart.

Roy stood at the gate, seeing off the food purchasing team.

This time, Heishi collar plans to buy a large amount of grain from Chiling. If possible, he will also buy some food other than staple food, such as dried fruit and meat.

Roy took out [-]% of the wealth accumulated in Lord Denham's small treasury and the treasure room of the Blackstone collar to buy food.

Don't look at [-]% as a small amount, but this wealth has been accumulated by Lord Denham and the old Lord Blackstone for more than ten years!Thirty percent is already a very huge number!
If it were an ordinary lord, they might feel distressed about the money and would not be willing to take it out. For them, the lives of the mere lords are not as important as their wealth.

But Roy is very clear that this year is the first year of the merger of the two territories, and the number of people who were frozen to death must be reduced as much as possible, and it is best to achieve zero deaths. Only in this way will the people of Iron Mountain Territory truly recognize him This lord will truly be under the control of the Tulumbel family.

Only with a large enough population can more knights be born, and only then can the number of knights under his command increase.

Roy has a plan.

He is going to build an elite knight order composed of extraordinary knights.

With his help, the difficulty for an official knight to break through the Bronze Knight will be greatly reduced. Breaking through is not a difficult problem, what is difficult is the support afterwards.

Without enough citizens, it is impossible to support such an extraordinary knight order!

For ordinary lords and even higher-level nobles, they will control the outflow of advanced breathing techniques in their hands and strictly control the number of bronze knights.

Of course, there are reasons why formal knights are unlikely to break through to the bronze rank even if they have advanced breathing techniques, but more importantly, it is for safety.

A viscount with three-star bronze strength, and one or two knights with one-star bronze under his command, he can still hold the scene, but what if there are ten or twenty?
Whoever it is, I'm afraid they will have trouble sleeping and eating.

But Roy is different.

He believed that his strength would be far ahead of the knights under him from the beginning to the end, so he didn't have the slightest worries in this regard.

The only problem before him was how to increase the population of the territory.

In this regard, there are two general directions - open source and throttling.

Leaving aside the open source, winter is approaching, how to reduce expenditure, that is, to preserve the existing population as much as possible, is the most important thing.

"Bon Voyage."

Watching the grain purchase team go away, Roy turned around and returned to the mansion.

Holding a bowl of cooked porridge, Roy headed towards Shanika's room.

According to Shanika's daily habits, it's almost time for her to wake up.

……

"Gollum..."

The wooden wheels moved forward on the uneven road.

Red rode a tall war horse and walked at the forefront of the team.

At this moment, the grain purchasing team has not yet escorted the grain and has no burden, so the forward speed is very fast. In half a day, they walked out of the Heishi collar and crossed the green collar in the north. It is estimated that they can reach Chiling before dark. Town entrance.

When Red shouted, "Everyone, hurry up, we will reach Red Ridge in two hours", the chivalry spirit of the entire team visibly lifted up.

The exhaustion of boats and cars always makes people tired, and in the hotels in the town, there is warm bath water and hot food. Thinking of this, everyone's footsteps are a little lighter.

The team marched all the way, but when they were about five kilometers away from Chiling Town, they had to stop.

Because in the middle of the official road, there is a dug channel, as well as broken stones, broken wood and other obstacles.

Red narrowed his eyes.

He raised his eyes and looked around. In the secluded mountain forest, occasionally birds flew up, and the silence was unusual, and there was no sign of anyone's existence at all.

But Red knew very well that somewhere in the forest at this moment, there must be bandit eyes watching the grain purchase team.

Perhaps it was because of the strength of the food purchasing team, until the knights cleared the roadblocks and filled the canals, not a single bandit appeared in the forest.

Red snorted coldly, scanned the surrounding mountains and forests with his cold eyes, and then directed the grain purchase team to move forward.

But within a few hundred meters, Reid at the front of the team seemed to have noticed something, his face changed slightly, and he raised his hand to signal the team to stop.

He looked at the forest on the left side of the official road, the large shadow covered by the dense canopy.

"rustle……"

The breeze blew, bringing the sound of swaying branches and leaves, and a huge creature slowly walked out of the shadow under the tree.

It was a giant bear that was much larger than normal black bears, with a shoulder height of almost 1.5 meters. If a person stood up, it would be at least four meters tall!
Its eyes were red, and foul-smelling saliva flowed from between its teeth and dripped to the ground.

Red's eyes hardened.

"At this point in time, how could there be ferocious animals?!"

It is naturally impossible for the giant black bear to answer Red's doubts.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the giant black bear rushed towards the grain purchase team. Its terrifying weight made the gravel on the ground tremble uncontrollably.

That brutal and ferocious aura made the pupils of the formal knights of the food purchase team dilate gradually when facing this scene, not to mention the apprentice knights, whose hands holding weapons were slightly moving.

Imagine what it would be like to have a terrifying giant bear that stood upright at least four meters running towards you?
Even ordinary black bears are several times stronger than normal people, let alone such a giant black bear whose size is far larger than ordinary black bears.

Apprentice knights are almost no different from ordinary people in front of such monsters. Even if they are wearing armor, they will be dented even if they are hit by a monster. What's more, most of the apprentice knights do not have the funds to purchase metal armor for themselves. They are all wearing ordinary leather armor, which can be said to be injured when rubbed and killed when touched.

Although official knights are much better than apprentice knights, their physique is at most twice the limit of ordinary people. With such physical fitness, there is not much difference between them and apprentice knights in front of the black giant. The biggest difference is that official knights are the most They all have a set of chain armor, and if they get hit by an attack, as long as it is not a vital part, there is a high probability that they will not die.

Among the people present, there was only one person who showed a little calmness in facing the charge of the giant black bear - that was Red with the strength of Bronze Three Stars!
After the knight reached the bronze rank, he cultivated his fighting spirit and officially opened the gap with ordinary people.

Facing ferocious animals like the black giant bear, only knights who have formally embarked on the path of the extraordinary are qualified to crusade.

"call……"

Red let out a deep breath, with a slightly scorching breath, forming a white mist visible to the naked eye in front of him.

Pale white light of dou qi emerged from his body surface, and spread all the way to the knight sword in his hand, and even the war horse under his crotch, the light of dou qi appeared on the surface.

"hiss……"

The reins were pulled, and the horse neighed. At this moment, Reid and his war horse turned into a black shooting star, and rammed head-on towards the galloping black giant bear.

"boom--!"

With a bang, Reid, who was riding the horse, was forced to stop. In front of him, the giant black bear was in a much worse condition. Not only was it forced to stop charging, but it also fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Sorry..."

The horse roared, and Reid steered the horse and began to move quickly. Taking advantage of the moment when the giant black bear fell to the ground and was unable to get up, the knight sword attached to the grudge left deep wounds on the giant black bear one after another, and the bright red blood All over the place.

Red, who was riding the horse, was extremely maneuverable, and although the giant black bear whose charge had been stopped was much stronger than Red in terms of physique, it was too clumsy, and Red easily dodged several attacks.

The pain stimulated the black giant bear to become more and more crazy. If it were a normal creature, it would have retreated a long time ago, but the black giant bear is different. Its eyes are getting redder, and it has obviously lost its mind. It brings pain to the little one.

It's a pity that no matter how the giant black bear struggles, facing the skilled and highly mobile Red, the final result can only be a disastrous defeat.

It lost a lot of blood and fell to the ground weakly.

"Thorn-"

The knight sword in Reid's hand pierced through the black giant bear's eye socket, pierced through the black giant bear's brain, and ended its life.

Looking at the corpse of the black giant bear that was barely put down by the merger of the two carts, Reid's eyes were full of thought.

Violent animals, as the name suggests, are animals that have lost their minds and become ferocious and brutal. Their size is generally much larger than that of the same kind. Non-extraordinary knights often need the cooperation of a team of more than ten people to face vicious animals and pay a heavy price. There is a possibility of crusade.

Generally speaking, ferocious animals will come and go in the cold winter, attacking the citizens of the major territories.

There are still about ten days before the onset of winter. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any ferocious animals.

Moreover, this giant black bear just happened to appear near Chiling. Could it be that the bandits have mastered the method of luring or even driving ferocious animals?
As for controlling ferocious animals?Reid directly ruled out this possibility.

Mere bandits, even if their predecessors were knights led by white oaks, they would never be able to control ferocious animals, not to mention them, in the entire empire for so many years, they have never heard of anyone who can control ferocious animals.These monsters are violent and bloodthirsty, as long as they appear within sight, they will not let any creature go.

"call……"

Letting out a breath, suppressing the doubts in his heart, Reid directed the grain purchase team to move on.

The original plan was to enter Chiling town just before dark, but now it was delayed by the black giant bear, and it was estimated that it would be dark.

Fortunately, the worst strength of the entire team is also the apprentice knight, so it doesn't matter too much.

Although ferocious animals are bloodthirsty and cruel, they are full of treasures. Not only can their specialized attack organs be used to make equipment, but their flesh and blood are also precious special food. Fei, this time I went to Chiling, with the giant black bear, I was able to get much more food than planned.

A few hundred meters above the sky, several seemingly ordinary birds are flying quietly. If someone can observe closely, they will find that there is an unusual little red glow in the center of the two small eyes of these birds, mechanically and mechanically. Indifferent, they followed the grain purchase team all the way, and followed them into the town of Chiling, like cold watchers.
