Lord of Hyranza

There are three inscription masters in the city of Hailansa, but it is basically impossible to ask them to make magic pattern structures for themselves. It is said that the orders received by the three inscription masters, the least one will be scheduled until next autumn Go, the way to make the magic pattern structure is to make an appointment with an inscriber after gathering enough magic spar.

But now it seems that it is impossible for any inscriber to make a magic pattern structure for Suldak in a short period of time.

In addition, the high production cost of the magic pattern structure is enough to make Suldak speechless. The sum of all the property on Suldak's body now is only enough to buy a set of magic pattern structure. The village still needs to continue to build a reservoir, and Suldak also wants to tidy up the tidal land on the river bend downstream of the village. These things will cost a lot of money, and now is not the time to consider making magic pattern structures.

All kinds of frozen meat appear most in the winter market. Relatively speaking, there are very few vegetables and fruits, basically only those that can be stored in the cellar.

In this season, some frozen sea fish will be transported from the coastal cities of the Green Empire, piles of frozen fish are piled up in the market, and the price of a sea bream the size of an arm is around four silver coins. Sur Dak could imagine that there must be many villagers in Wall Village who had probably never eaten sea fish in half their lives, so he bought some.

A knight who bought a large amount of ingredients came to the market. Of course, this scene cannot escape the eyes of other merchants.

So when Suldak walked through the market with his horse, many shops would yell hard, trying to attract Suldak's attention, and Suldak picked some frozen pork legs and wheat flour to buy. After coming down, he finally bought some ham from the southern provinces, cheese from Durva province, etc., and did not end the purchase until his magic pocket was full of ingredients.

Leaving the market with a full load of goods, Suldak went to several magic grocery stores, and finally saw a row of magic antelope heads hanging on the shelves in a magic grocery store...

Chapter 372 Sober Pendant

In this magical grocery store, many of the items are home decorations. The owner of the store is an old man over fifty years old. He is sitting behind the counter at the entrance of the store, holding a parchment book in his hand, and is carrying Looking at the decorations on the pages with a pair of reading glasses, he kept rubbing his hands on the pages, with a nostalgic look on his face, which made people know that he was a person with a story.

Suldak stood in front of the magic antelope heads and looked at them for a long time. After some processing, these magic antelope heads looked lifelike, and the horns on each magic antelope head were also well preserved. These magic antelope heads were made They are usually used to decorate the walls of the living room. There are also some magic wall lamps in the grocery store, and some magic carpets that can be hung on the wall and release a warm atmosphere.

The other row of shelves is full of various magic scrolls, but the shelf that originally stored the magic herbs is empty, and there are nameplates of various magic herbs on the shelf, not even a hemostatic grass, Suldak looked away , and set his sights on the heads of these magic antelopes again.

"Have you taken a fancy to these magic antelope heads?" The shop owner was already standing beside Suldak, looking at the magic antelope heads on the wall with him, and then said: "The magic cores in the skulls of these magic antelopes were People took it out, but the horns of the magic antelope are still in good condition, and the whole head of the magic antelope has been treated with embalming, so buying it back and hanging it on the wall is definitely a very good decoration.”

Suldak was thinking in his mind how many magic antelope heads would be enough, and then the shop owner continued to introduce: "Of course, in terms of practicality, they are far inferior to these magic wall lamps. Although the magic wall lamps are slightly expensive It’s a bit expensive, but they’re all made of magic metal and definitely worth the money.”

Suldak looked at these magic wall lamps, thinking that if she bought one and gave it to old Sheila, she would definitely not be willing to use it. You must know that before that, the villagers in Wall Village were even reluctant to use oil lamps at night.

"You can also take a look at these magic carpets. This kind of magic carpet can emit weak heat outwards by relying on the magic lines in the decoration. This effect can last for the whole winter. After you buy it, you can hang it on the opposite side of the fireplace Even if the fire in the fireplace is extinguished, the room will not become too cold." The owner of the store thought that in such a cold winter, maybe Suldak would need this.

Pointing to the magic antelope heads on the wall, Suldak asked the owner, "How much are these magic antelope heads?"

"Seventy silver coins... Well, the two horns on the head of this magic antelope are still worth a little money." The owner of the shop immediately announced the price.

Suldak was noncommittal, passed those magic wall lamps, and asked, "Where are those magic carpets?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he felt that he might have met a big family, and said with a smile on his face: "45 silver coins, if you want to continue to use it next winter, you can bring this magic carpet to me before autumn. Come and find a magic tailor to re-embroider on the magic carpet, you only need to pay half of the fee, and you can continue to have this magic carpet to keep you warm throughout the winter."

Suldak thought that perhaps old Sheila needed a blanket like this. In the coldest winter, he could sit by the fire and put a blanket over his legs. Even if he didn't cover his body, he could hang it on the wall Fend off some cold.

Suldak asked the shopkeeper again: "Do you have a magic scroll that can keep people awake?"

"Of course, I have the 'spiritual focus' magic scroll. As long as I use this scroll, people can learn more with less effort. I would like to ask you, are you a magician?" The shop owner said to Suldak with a smile , Then he seemed to think of something, and asked the next sentence.

"No, I am a knight." Suldak replied.

"Are you planning to use this 'Mental Concentration' magic scroll yourself?" the owner frowned and asked.

"That's right." Suldak acknowledged with a nod.

At this time, the owner of the store showed a troubled face, and said to Suldak: "This is probably not enough. This kind of magic scroll needs to be guided by a magician with a spell. If you are not a magician, you can't activate this magic scroll at all."

"Okay, forget it." Suldak didn't expect such a thing to happen. He didn't have much contact with advanced magic scrolls before, and he still had a dozen of them in his magic pocket, but he didn't know about those scrolls. Name and purpose, now it seems that most of those scrolls cannot be used by themselves.

Seeing that Suldak gave up without hesitation, the owner of the store thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to buy a magic item that can keep you awake all the time in battle or work?"

Suldak nodded and replied, "Well, almost."

Hearing what Suldak said, the owner of the store walked slowly to the front of the counter, found a small wooden box from a wooden box that seemed to be covered with magical patterns behind the counter, and stretched out his hand to take the wooden box. The box was pushed in front of Suldak, and the lid was opened. Inside lay a string of necklaces. This necklace was made of gold one day. At first glance, it seemed to be very valuable. There was also a necklace Gold pendant, the style of the pendant is a snow mountain.

Suldak held the necklace in his hand, and it was heavy. A cool breath came out from the necklace, which really lifted his spirits.

The owner of the store said to Suldak: "This magic necklace is called a sobriety pendant. Although its price is a bit more expensive, it is a magic item. Its function is to keep the wearer awake all the time. Many magic apprentices will buy it for themselves. Last one, this thing can help them stay awake when doing experiments all night, and it has a certain resistance to some hypnotism and illusion. Because it can keep you awake all the time, when you are about to fall asleep , you must remember to put the necklace in the jewelry box, otherwise it may be difficult for you to fall asleep. In addition, it can keep you awake all the time, but it does not mean that you can not rest after you have it, you still need to maintain adequate sleep Yes, the consequence of excessive use of lucid pendants is easy insanity."

"How much is this necklace?" Suldak asked after pondering for a while.

"Ten magic spar."

Although he knew that this magic necklace must be worth a lot, but when the owner quoted the price, Suldak took a deep breath, it was not ordinary expensive.

His first reaction was that the necklace was too expensive, so he didn't want to buy it, but then he thought of how he would look after being hypnotized by the black magician of the Black Magic Priory with the 'cloud of sleep', hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth, Said to the shopkeeper: "Five magic antelope heads, two magic carpets, and a sober pendant, a total of ten magic crystals..."

The owner of the grocery store was a little embarrassed, he thought for a long time, and finally said like cutting flesh: "You buy a sober pendant, and I will give you a magic antelope head, a magic wall lamp and a magic carpet. After all, magic There is no need to hang too many decorations like antelope heads at home..."

A quarter of an hour later, Suldak walked out of the magic general store with a smile on his face. In the magic pocket was a jewelry box with a sober pendant and two magic carpets. Because he bought too many gifts in the market, the magic pocket was gone. With enough space, the five oryx heads could only fit into the bag and hang on the hook next to the saddle.

Surdak rode back to the Knight Academy.

……

On the morning of the weekend, Suldak and Pablo's assistant teacher asked for leave, and left the Knight Academy early on horseback, and left the city of Hailansa with the first batch of teams leaving the city.

He was wearing a salamander leather armor, and in order to avoid attracting attention, he wore a gray cloak with a hood to wrap himself tightly. The snow on the road outside the city has not been cleared, and there are only some clutter on the road The footprints and ruts stretched all the way into the mountain, but the farther they were from Hailansa City, the fewer and fewer these footprints and ruts became.

The snow in the city of Hailansa is not too heavy, but the snow in many places in the mountains is waist-deep. Many of the mountain roads leading to Wall Village are ancient mountain roads, and these ancient roads are in the lowest-lying places. , some snow hills are even as high as a person, and the entire mountain road has been blocked by heavy snow, and it is not easy to walk even on horseback.

Suldak regretted that he didn't listen to Karl's advice before leaving. Karl asked him to wait a few more days before returning to Wall Village. In the mountains, I realized that I had estimated the situation of the mountain road too optimistically. After walking into the mountain for half a day, the mountain road was completely covered by snow.

Suldak hesitated, wanting to go back the same way, just like Karl suggested, wait a week before leaving.

But then I thought, since I have already walked so far, even if it is difficult to walk, after all, it is a day's journey on horseback, how far can I go...

He thought so and did so.

Plunging into the snow-capped mountains and forests, Suldak almost always led the horse along the way.

The cold north wind rolled up the snow in the mountains and forests, like puffs of green smoke. The four legs of Gu Bolai's horse walked in the snow, and soon the horse's legs were covered with a layer of frost. Suldak was worried. The horse's legs were frostbitten, so he took out a blanket from the magic pouch, cut it into four pieces with a dagger, wrapped them on the four horse's legs respectively, and put a quilt on the back of Gu Bolai's horse.

The entire mountain forest is a vast expanse of whiteness, and many low bushes are buried in the snow.

After walking for half a day, when Suldak turned over the second mountain, he felt a very strong feeling in his heart, as if there were two eyes staring at him behind him, but every time he turned his head and looked back, the mountain road behind It was empty, and I didn't find anyone following me several times.

Later, at a fork in a mountain road, Suldak didn't choose the mountain road, but led the horse directly into an oak forest.

The low trees in the forest were all buried under the snow, and many small animals that came out to look for food left many motley footprints in the forest. Suldak also used these small and small footprints to walk in the oak forest. Go all the way to the mountains.

……

The assassin who was following Suerdak saw that Suerdak led his horse into the oak forest, and almost cursed, how could such heavy snow go further into the mountains? Drilling in the oak forest, the assassin regretted agreeing to this tracking task.

The assassin habitually hid behind the tree, trying to hide his body as much as possible, carefully looking for the footprints of Suldak and the horse in the snow.

When he walked into an oak forest, he found that his field of vision was full of thick oak trees. If he wanted to continue tracking Suldak, he could only rely on the clear footprints in the snow. He thought to himself: "Samya That woman is really unreliable, to issue such a task..."

When he was complaining about Samya, the footprints in the snow were only the hoofprints of Gu Bolai's horse. When Suldak's footprints disappeared inexplicably, the assassin hesitated for a moment, and his heart suddenly became cold Halfway through, before he could think clearly, his body swooped forward.

Suldak jumped down from the branch of the oak tree above his head as if he was a god, and the craftsman's sword in his hand cut through the air.

The assassin then hid behind an oak tree, and had no intention of confronting Suldak head-on. Seeing Suldak rushing towards him with the craftsman's sword, he was about to escape into the shadows , It's a pity that the oak forest is a vast expanse of whiteness, and there is no shadow that can be used at all.

Suldak slashed at him with a sword, and the assassin took out his dagger to respond hastily, but the handle of the dagger in the assassin's hand hit his chest when Suldak slashed with his sword, and the assassin only felt that he was being attacked by a A heavy iron rod hit his chest, his body backed up a few steps, and his back hit the tree trunk all of a sudden, the thick oak tree branches were shaken, and countless snow hanging on the tree fell down one after another.

The assassin jumped out of the falling snow like a nimble rabbit.

Samya had told him before that he must not confront Suldak head-on.Suldak was not affected by the 'Shadow Bound', which almost halved the assassin's assassination methods. The assassin was very confident in his speed, but he didn't expect that the assassin only felt a shadow flickering in front of him, and a silver shield fell on him. The infinity in front of the eyes is magnified, and it is too late for the body to make changes...

Suldak threw out the dwarven chain shield in his hand, and the shield flew out with a 'swish' sound. Who would have thought that... the assassin in front of him made the fool not know how to dodge, and the dwarf chain shield directly hit there. the face of an assassin.

With a 'bang' sound, the assassin was struck by the thick dwarf chain shield, and wanted to flee, but was cut back by Suldak, who came up later.

The craftsman's sword in Suldak's hand was like a thick iron rod, forcing the assassin back a few steps, the assassin was about to cough up blood.

While the assassin wasn't paying attention, Suldak threw out a dwarf chain shield chain to wrap the assassin's legs...

A scream came from the oak forest.

After a while, Suldak led the horse out of the oak forest.

Chapter 373

There was a northerly wind and snow blowing in the oak forest, and the body of the assassin will rot together with the fallen leaves in the forest after the ice and snow melt next spring, and turn into a handful of fertile soil, maybe he will be starved before then. The little beasts in the forest ate everything, and even brought their bones back to their dens.

Suldak rode for a long time in the mountains until he confirmed that there was no follower behind him, then he found the mountain road leading to the outside of the mountain pass and walked forward through the heavy snow.

The distance that could have been covered in one day did not go until late at night before Surdak crossed the mountain pass.

Under the moon, the mountains and fields are all white. Standing at the mountain pass, Suldak can clearly see the forest of crosses on the top of the mountain. The bones of the robbers and the torn clothes are swaying in the north wind. .

Until the village of Woer hidden in the ravine appeared in Suldak's sight, a warm current flowed through his body suddenly in his heart.

Under the snowy night, Woer Village seemed very quiet. The dead tree at the entrance of the village was whimpered by the wind. A long snow wall, a castle, and a snow slide piled up in the open space next to it. Such a large project must have been done by the children of the village.Many houses were pitch-black, and people in the village were used to going to bed early in winter.

The local dogs in the village noticed the outsider and let out a series of barks, but when they rushed out of the village in groups and saw the familiar figure in the snow, they lowered their heads and shook their heads in a flattering manner. Tail, stepping closer, whimpering softly, the ham, frozen fish, and frozen meat brought back by Suerdak would not be thrown to them casually.

He was welcomed into the village by a group of dogs from the village. The ravine was covered with a thick layer of snow. Surdak looked up and saw a semicircular embankment at the uppermost reaches of the ravine. It was completed before winter, and Suerdak led the horse along the road in the village. When he passed the central square of the village, twenty horse-drawn carriages stopped neatly beside the wood workshop. The snow at the door of the wood workshop was covered It was cleaned cleanly, and it seemed that the workshop hadn't stopped in winter, and the unfinished waterwheel inside the workshop could be seen through the wooden fence.

The house where Selena lived was also pitch black. There were three snowmen piled up at the door, and the tallest snowman was surrounded by a shield made of snow and a long sword cut from branches. Surdak paused for a while. , and continued to walk up to the front of his own yard. Through the yard wall, Suldak saw the newly built red thatch cowshed. The cow was chewing quietly in the cowshed, probably because he felt the wall. The movement outside made a low voice.

The courtyard door was locked from the inside, and Suldak easily pried open the courtyard door, led the horse in, and brought the snow-covered Gubolai horse into the cowshed. The master let out a 'moo', expressing his dissatisfaction to Suldak, but Suldak ignored it at all, and just silently took off the saddle from Gu Bolai's horse, and then put the cotton cloth on the horse's back. The quilt and the blanket wrapped around the horse's legs were untied one by one, and a bucket of water was taken from the kitchen tank to drink the horse, and a large load of hay was taken from the stone trough beside it, which should be prepared by Rita for tomorrow morning. The cow next to him made another dissatisfied protest.

Suldak heard the sound of the door of the main house being pushed open, and when he turned his head, he saw Rita standing in the yard dumbfounded holding a wooden stick, followed by Natasha in a single dress.

"Dak, why did you come back from Hailansa City with such heavy snow?"

Rita didn't think much about it at all, she just threw away the stick in her hand, and regardless of the temperature at night was so low that water could drip into ice, she ran to Suldak in her single clothes and gave him a big hug. It's all snow, the whole person is like a snow beast on the snowy mountain, the whole body is white, and I don't know how Rita recognized her at a glance.

Feeling a cloud of hot breath rushing towards him, Suldak caught it quickly, and then met Natasha's gentle gaze standing behind.

"It's too cold outside, let's go inside and talk about it." Suldak held Rita's tight and soft shoulders with both hands, removed her from his arms, and said to the two women in single clothes standing in the snow .

Only now did Rita feel the cold, and she folded her hands on her chest, covering the clear outline exposed under the linen shirt, her pretty face flushed a little.

However, a pair of big blue eyes still asked with great concern: "What happened? How do you walk the mountain road in this weather?"

The expression on her face was very similar to that of his brother, and Surdak couldn't help touching the top of her head.

Suldak stretched out his other hand to embrace Natasha, and said as he walked into the house: "Nothing happened, everything is fine, a master magician in the city needs to buy some sulfur mines, this time I I came back on a special trip to fetch sulfur ore.”

Walking into the house, Suldak finally felt a tinge of warmth. Rita lit a candle in the narrow living room. When I got down to catch my breath, I saw the door of old Sheila's room opened, and old Sheila staggered out of the house.

Suldak walked over and hugged the old Sheila. The old Sheila was a little inflexible in her legs and feet, so she pulled Suldak to sit down on the chair by the fireplace, and said, "Rita, go and boil some hot water. Take a warm bath to drive away the cold."

Then he said to Natasha who was standing behind: "Natasha, you re-ignite the fireplace and hang up a piece of scones. There is still some chestnut rice porridge left from last night. Duck needs some hot food."

The ashes in the fireplace were still warm. Natasha took some straw from the outside and ignited several pine cones in the stove. The cooking pot was hung on the fire, and the chestnut rice porridge inside was steaming very quickly.

Suldak rubbed his hands, and said to the tired old Sheila, "Go and rest, I'll go to sleep after I eat something."

"When I'm old, I don't sleep that much. Sit down and tell me about the city..." Old Sheila smiled faintly at Suldak, and said slowly.

Natasha took out a blanket for old Sheila and covered her lap, and old Sheila casually asked Suldak about life in Hailansa.

"Where I live... I'm currently living in the student dormitory of the Knight Academy. The conditions there are very good. I have a single room and a balcony..." Suldak said honestly, but obviously old Sheila didn't understand the dormitory. What is the building, and can't imagine what the terrace looks like, but listening to Suldak's vivid description of the college, there is a faint smile in the old Sheila's eyes.

She seemed to think that after a few years, little Peter would probably also be able to study in the Knight Academy and live in a spacious and warm dormitory. This was probably the biggest wish of old Sheila.

"The cafeteria in the college provides three meals a day, with white bread and broth every day..." Suldak continued.

Few people in Wall Village can eat white bread. The refined wheat flour used to make white bread is very different from whole wheat flour. It needs to be dehusked and ground to remove the wheat bran and germ on the surface of the wheat grains, and the remaining wheat grains are carefully selected. After selection, you can grind it again to get refined wheat flour. Grinding this kind of wheat flour is simply a waste of food. No one in Wall Village would do this, but it doesn’t mean they don’t know white bread. Hearing Suldak talk about the academy Broth is served in the canteen every day, and Rita next to her can't help but swallow her saliva.

Suldak told old Sheila about joining the guard camp of Hailansa City. This was an honor that Wall Village had never had before. The spirit of the earth was gradually relieved, and she couldn't help feeling a little drowsy. She lifted the blanket and stood up slowly. She didn't want anything to happen to her body, at least not before Little Peter entered the Knight Academy.

Before going to sleep, old Sheila said to Suldak: "Your house has never been lit, and it is as cold as an ice cellar. You can take a hot bath and get tired. Sleep here tonight!"

"Okay." Suldak was holding a small cooking pot, eating hot chestnut rice porridge.

Rita also brought over a plate of thinly sliced ​​raw ham, and Suldak tore off a scone that was burnt and crispy, thinking that it would be really good to eat with it.

After finishing all this work, Rita yawned and went into the room to go to sleep. She knew she had to give Natasha and Suldak some time.

Suldak was devouring the scones. Under the candlelight, Natasha's eyes were extremely focused. She was sitting on a small stool beside her, with her elbows on her knees and her chin on one hand, quietly watching Suldak. , since the man in front of her appeared in her life, her life is constantly changing, the cold north wind no longer pours into the room along the gaps in the roof, and there is no need to save a small amount of food every day throughout the winter If I go to sleep hungry, I probably don’t have to go to the tidal flats to dig grass roots tomorrow. My current life should be gifted by the goddess!What's not to like?

After eating enough, Suldak got into the warm wooden barrel, and the chill in his body was completely expelled. Natasha walked in with a clean and loose linen pajamas. Suldak looked up and wanted to go to Lana. Tasha's hand, but she ran away like a deer.

After taking a hot bath, Suldak returned to the living room while wiping his wet hair in thin pajamas.

Natasha poured out all the water in the barrel, otherwise, when the water in the barrel freezes tomorrow morning, the barrel will be burst by the ice.

In the living room, there was only a piece of red charcoal left in the fireplace, and the most comfortable recliner next to it was covered with a thick quilt. Suldak lay down on the recliner while roasting the warm fire, and Natasha was busy. After finishing all this, he blew out the residual candle in the living room, and was about to go back to the room lightly.

"Or... talk to me for a while."

In the dim living room, Suldak whispered.

Natasha stopped, her gentle face flushed slightly, but she still walked slowly to the side of Suldak, and sat down on another chair by the fireplace, the red fire reflected her beautiful face. The blue eyes on her face became a little deep, and Suldak leaned over, reached out and rubbed her curly blond hair, and wrapped her in the quilt.

"It's so cold to sit like this! Would you like to lie down with me for a while..."

Natasha didn't know how she and Suldak squeezed together on the narrow recliner, as if under a spell, her mind was empty, with only a pair of firm eyes and some prickly stubble in front of her, Nata Sha leaned out as much as possible, so as not to take up too much space and make Suldak lie uncomfortable, but then a pair of big hands hugged her tightly.

Before Natasha could struggle, Suldak said in a low voice, "Don't move around, just hug for a while..."
