Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Xia En smelled a smell, a smell of ashes, not a stench, but he felt death from that smell.

And the big cat, which many people thought was powerless to resist, suddenly kicked its hind legs, and the huge stone giant was kicked away by it!

"Ah——!!!" But the flying direction was a bit bad, because it was facing Blackstone Fort.

A group of people dodged quickly on the city wall. Fortunately, because of a huge crack in that place, most of the left behind retreated to the two sides. It is not difficult to dodge at this time.The stone giant "lived up to expectations" collapsed a large section of the city wall, and then it never stood up again.Stone powder began to float out from the edge of its body, and more and more, the weathering that originally took thousands of years seemed to be compressed into just a few minutes——he just turned into ashes, never to be the same again The power to shake the earth.

At this time, the battlefield was eerily quiet, and everyone was stunned.

"Roar——!!!!!!" Until a roar woke people up again.

"Attack...Attack! Attack!" The commander held his heart, all the ups and downs were too sudden, which made his self-confident heart a little bit unbearable.

"Your Excellency, none of our mounts can run away." The poor mounts of those cavalry regiments almost faced the stone giants, and even heard those roars at close range. It was enough for the animals not to be scared to death. Be strong.

"Then walk! Take off your heavy armor! Charge!" The commander slapped the table and roared, their men would be worse off without their mounts, "By the way, let the magician provide cover." Finally, the commander There is still some sanity left.

Zhou Lingke, who was originally sluggish, suddenly cheered up at this moment. He smacked his mouth twice, because he always felt like drinking some kind of cold fruit juice in his mouth. It should be some kind of fruit juice made by a plant. It's all natural, because it still has an earthy smell.

Earthy smell... Zhou Lingke looked at the city wall that the stone giant smashed outside. Many people ignored the plants that were stubbornly clinging to the stone giant, right?They are also blowing away with the wind.There is also water, the water octopus has turned into a large irregular blister, and it is still falling apart, and every piece that falls is wrapped in bones.

Zhou Lingke couldn't help touching his lips, the feeling in his mouth couldn't be what he imagined?That big cat rushed into the coalition army, didn't he want bloody mouth?Zhou Lingke had frightened himself so much that his back was stiff, but he still stood there stiffly, and did not call back the big cat. The reckless frontline soldiers had been ordered to press down on a large area, just because the big cat was fighting, so Now they can only wipe out the remnants of the enemy on the periphery.The more Big Cat kills, the safer Mang Tan's own soldiers (Xia En) will be!

The taste of cold juice gradually faded away, but what was replaced by it was not the smell of blood.Although Zhou Lingke knew that the big cat was killing even if it was tasteless, it was better than cannibalism after all.But soon he realized that he was too naive. It's not that he didn't taste it. It's just that the taste was too bland at first, and gradually it became a... strange aroma, not any kind of flowers and plants, nor food. , but the warm and fragrant smell makes people feel comfortable as if every pore is stretched and sighed.

But Zhou Lingke rushed to the corner of the command post and started to vomit. No one blamed him, and no one expressed disgust. Instead, people showed strong concern and worry—the battle was a war beast, but everyone knew, He is the biggest contributor.The commander shouted for the doctor to come, but the staff officer stopped the orderly and ran out by himself.Zhou Lingke just vomited, almost vomiting out all his bile.

It can be said that Zhou Lingke vomited the last summoning time. When he panted and tilted his head, he suddenly saw a small hair ball not far from his feet.

"Mi?" The big cat seemed to have grown up a bit. It tilted its head and looked at Zhou Lingke worriedly.

Zhou Lingke couldn't help taking a step back, he was frightened.

"Mi..." The big cat still kept its previous movements unchanged, but its big golden eyes dimmed, like a wronged child, cats are always sensitive.

Someone handed Zhou Lingke a hot towel, and Zhou Lingke thanked him in a hurry. He wiped his mouth carelessly, then took another step forward, knelt down in front of the big cat, and stretched out his hand to it: "Sorry." Big cat It didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, it is still working hard to help its master. No matter what it has, what it does, the fault is never on it. Zhou Lingke is ashamed of his performance just now.

The big cat looked at Zhou Lingke, first stretched out a small paw and touched Zhou Lingke's palm tentatively, then guessed and leaned over, rubbing its chin on Zhou Lingke's wrist.

In the confrontation with the coalition forces, Mang Tan won, not an easy victory at all.

The city wall along the north gate of Blackstone Fortress was almost completely destroyed, and reconstruction would be inevitable.The magicians were all exhausted, and more importantly, they really offended Chika this time.However, how could he not be guilty.Is it possible to let Mang Tan destroy the country?The next thing is not the soldier to worry about.Although the commander has been talking about it, now is the best time to break out of Black Rock Fort and return to the mainstream of the mainland!But no, he is just a fortress commander and has no right to attack or occupy other countries' territories.

The commander of Blackstone Castle sometimes hates his cautiousness. If he was a more aggressive commander, he would probably have led people across the border by now, but no, although the exploits of expanding the territory are deeply tempting. He, but there is also something that deeply suppresses him, which is why he has been the fortress commander in Blackstone Fortress for decades.He sighed and began to arrange various matters after the war.Wounded soldiers, prisoners, damaged city walls, military exploit statistics, reports, and many other things are waiting for him.

In the fortress after the war, the generals will not be idle, such as the commander, he is already busy like a spinning top.The soldiers are not idle either, some of them are still chasing, and some have already begun to clean the battlefield.Handymen and logistics are more involved. Soldiers only need to be responsible for the living or dead when cleaning the battlefield, but they have to deal with everything, such as the large section of the damaged city wall. Of course, it cannot be repaired now, but it can already be started. cleaned up.The fortress was busy, but the tension of the war was gone, only excitement and joy.The most leisurely ones are the mages, and most of them have begun to sleep soundly.

Zhou Lingke should also be one of the sleepy ones, but of course he couldn't sleep. Instead, he was a big cat, sleeping very soundly, with slits in his eyes that looked like a smile, a small mouth that was slightly pursed, and snoring. Seeing this small appearance, no one could connect it with the ferocious war beast more than ten minutes ago.Zhou Lingke put it on the bed at first, on the soft pillow, but just as his hand left a little, the big cat's little paw hooked on Zhou Lingke's sleeve, Zhou Lingke gently pulled it, and it purred. It stopped, although he hadn't woken up yet, but Xiang Tian's face was already wrinkled, so Zhou Lingke had no choice but to hold him in his arms again.

"It's not about letting you go..." He said helplessly to the little thing that was almost stuck to him, or more to himself, "It's just that I want to find something to do." Quiet is not What he needs now, but running out rashly is to cause trouble for others, especially looking for Xia En. Zhou Lingke needs to find something that can be done in the magician's house, so as not to let some bad imagination fill his mind. brain.

"Mi!" The big cat was actually pretending to be asleep. It stood up suddenly, and before Zhou Lingke could react, it ran along his arm, up to his shoulder, huddled into a ball, and clung to Zhou Lingke's shoulder. The cat's tail Wrapped around his neck, the sound of "meow~~" is still soft and soft like a milk cat, but it will finally meow, and it sounds in a good mood?

Touching the hot hair ball on his shoulder, Zhou Lingke raised his eyebrows helplessly: "You won't fall, right?"

"Meow meow~"

"Okay, then let's go. Speaking of which, I haven't looked at this place carefully yet." Zhou Lingke started his belated exploration of his residence, and finally he found the kitchen.He just found out that in order to take care of the magician, their kitchen was independent.He decided to do something, and when he made such a suggestion, the unexpected chefs were all very nice to talk to—thanks to other magicians with similar hobbies, and the order to "meet all the needs of magicians".

When he was ordered to retreat and returned to Blackstone Fort, Xia En realized that he was injured after being reminded by his companions. There should be a cut on his left shoulder. Only after he took off his armor did he realize that the wound was not serious. As unimportant as he thought.It was about a finger long, its flesh turned out, and its blood had already soaked his entire shoulder and most of his chest.

"Take him to the doctor quickly!" Sai Lun greeted, and the others hurriedly dragged Xia En towards the tent of the medical center.

"I thought it was sweat..." The adrenaline and extreme excitement made him less sensitive to pain, the smell of blood... not only himself but everyone around him smelled that way, wet Feelings made him think it was sweat, and occasional dizziness was mistaken for possible excessive exercise.Sitting in the medical tent with his wound bandaged, Xia En felt a wave of fear. If it was a little later, he might die of excessive blood loss without his own realizing it.

On the battlefield, while sending others to die, you are also brushing past death.

And now that he has been bandaged, he has to go back to his team, and then start to listen to orders again-people with intact hands and feet, even wounded people can enjoy vacation, everyone is busy, except magic teachers.

That night, when they were finally able to rest, the orderly brought a heavy basket to Xia En, and when he opened the package, a strong aroma came out, it was beef pie.But not the Western style pie, but the Chinese style.But in this world, there are only two people who can cook Chinese food...

One day later, when everyone was still busy with various affairs after the war, an order was conveyed to the commander of the Blackstone Fortress, but it was not a reward, let alone a punishment, but a transfer order, about Zhou Lingke's transfer order.But this is not surprising, after all, the rewards and punishments of the army are generally unified as a whole, and magicians, especially outstanding magicians, will always be interviewed individually.After thinking about it, the commander decided to give Zhou Lingke a gift as his personal thanks for taking advantage of his position.

He joined a small team in the guard team.But what he didn't know was how complicated Zhou Lingke's mood was when he found out that Xia En was among the soldiers guarding him.Because as a time traveler, he didn't know how to behave properly so as not to hurt Xia En and himself.Personally speaking, it was his partner, and they had just been through a life-and-death battle, and he really, really, really wanted to be able to hug him, kiss him, and even... even do something deeper.

But now, Xia En is one of his guards, surrounded by Xia En's comrades-in-arms, and if he calls him over like this, it will definitely make others think of bad things, and may even do some intimate actions. Make people want to be crooked?But if you don't do anything, that Sai Lun, their small captain is also here.Will it also be misunderstood by others, or it will go in another direction.

Everyone is ready, the car is equipped with two of the last remaining beasts, and it is time to leave.But Zhou Lingke stood there frowning in a daze. All the soldiers present were focused on fighting and accustomed to obeying orders, and no one even went up to ask.It was Xia En's constant "eye contact" that reminded Zhou Lingke, he took a deep look at Xia En, and got into the car obediently.

"Your little mage is very interesting," Sairon whispered as they set off behind the car.

Shane shrugged, deciding to take this as a compliment.

What is it like to be able to see but not to eat?What is it like to be full of worries, and someone who can talk is close at hand, but dare not say a word?

Zhou Lingke felt that it was not enough for him to be driven crazy, but his neurasthenia was indeed approaching.

They passed the first post station on the road, and after supplementing the beast riders, their speed immediately accelerated a lot.Zhou Lingke simply discussed with the officer leading the team, and traveled twenty hours a day?Anyway, he spent most of his time sitting in the car. Although the bumps were a bit uncomfortable, it was more than looking at Xia En eagerly after stopping.He was already jealous of the big cat, because the furball was able to walk up to Shane, meow at him twice, and paw him.

Before Zhou Lingke could not bear to "murder" the big cat and eat its favorite fish in front of its face, they finally reached their destination—so Mangtan is indeed a small country. From the northernmost border to the capital, it takes less than fourteen days by carriage.Moreover, this capital has a very ridiculous name, Alcindra, which translates to narrow paths.What country would give its capital such a... barren name?It is more reasonable to say that this is the name of a small village.
