When Roy's figure appeared at the door of the small courtyard, Ivan and others who had been waiting all day and night couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
They had been waiting in the small courtyard since Roy left. They originally thought he would be back soon, but unexpectedly there was no news until the whole city was under martial law.
In the evening, Fei Lie's army came to the city. The sound of fierce fighting could be heard in the distance. All kinds of news were flying in the streets. There was no good news, but there was a lot of bad news. For a time, everyone was anxious.
Now that the army is in a panic, not to mention Roy's shortcomings, they who are responsible for protecting Roy can't explain it to Phillip. They can't face the worried eyes of Maliya, who has been holding Oliver up all night.
.
During this period, Ivan used his identity as Red Leaf Knight to search for Roy in the city several times, but failed to find Roy. Just when he was about to go out to search again, Roy, who had been missing for a day and night, unexpectedly came back on his own.
Seeing Roy's thin but familiar figure appearing on the path by the lake, Ivan strode out of the courtyard and let out a long breath from a distance: "Why are you back just now? What happened?
"
Before he finished speaking, Malt and Oliver had already passed by him quickly and rushed to Roy, one pulling his ears and the other biting his trouser legs.
"Okay," Mai Ya'er twisted Roy's ears like a little woman waiting for her husband who stayed away all night. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked up and down at his new clothes, full of suspicion and anger, "Say, run away.
Where did it go?"
"Woo!" Oliver, who was on the same ground as Mal Ya'er, bit Roy's trouser leg, shook his head vigorously, and barked vaguely in his mouth to show his respect for Mal Ya'er, who was responsible for feeding the dog every day.
The support of the eldest lady.
Under the teasing gazes of several red-leaf knights, Roy could only tell the story of joining the ragtag army, fighting out of the city, and just waking up from the baron's castle after being injured while concealing the attack on the Holy See convoy.
"You just left like that?" When everyone had dinner and sat in the small courtyard enjoying the afterglow of the setting sun. Ivan sat under the eaves and stretched out his long legs, looking at Roy with a confused look in his eyes.
A hint of disbelief.
They had already heard about the victory in Meiding City, and they were still speculating on how the Lulian Army won. However, they did not expect that the biggest contributor to this battle turned out to be Roy.
This military merit is no less than when Philip killed Prince Philip. If Roy had not left, he would have been able to obtain a cavalry flag or an infantry column leader. Even if he was a centurion in the ragtag army, he would still be able to obtain it.
No one dared to say anything.
But Roy casually threw away this huge achievement. This made several Red Leaf Knights feel regretful.
"Of course I'm leaving!" Mal Ya'er quickly took over the conversation.
A woman's natural vigilance made her regard Sophia as her enemy as soon as she heard Roy's story. While she was busy clearing the dining table, she said angrily: "If you don't leave, are you still waiting to work for those guys?
"
The four Red Leaf Knights were silent, and when Maliyar angrily put away the dishes and walked into the kitchen, they exchanged glances with each other and laughed softly.
Roy didn't come back all day and night, and Mal'er didn't even sleep. His little face was pale and he looked anxious. Whenever there was any movement around him, he would raise his beautiful slightly pointed ears and listen carefully. With that look, even the knights he had just met
They all looked distressed.
"What a pity," Ivan watched Mal Ya'er leave, then turned back to the topic and said to Roy regretfully, "According to military regulations, if you leave like this, your previous military merit will be halved. If you wait until later to join the army, the highest military rank will be achieved.
He can only be a first-level leopard warrior."
"What does that have to do with it? It's not easy to earn military honors during the war?" Jesse smiled, turned to Roy and said: "According to me, it's better to join our Red Leaf Knights in the future. With your ability, you will be a lord in two years.
!”
"That's true." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Roy is only eighteen years old this year, but he already possesses the strength of a magician. Judging from the preciousness of magicians in this world and his extraordinary talent, even if he does not earn military merits with swords and guns, glory and wealth will only be a matter of time.
Roy smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, what appeared in his mind was not the Bavarian Knights or the Red Leaf Knights, but the familiar yet unfamiliar name Farrington. It seemed that there was a connection from blood that was affecting him.
.
"How should we arrange it? Stay here, or leave for Munich City?" The discussion of the knights came to my ears.
Roy leaned his head on the back of the chair and looked at the fiery red clouds on the horizon.
In just half a month after leaving the desperate situation, he has completely integrated into this raging war era.
Whether he is the "lone wolf" of the magic pattern master, the secret cultivator, or the "vengeful demon", he gradually gets closer to the world that ordinary people cannot touch.
And at the same time, he also knew that with the battle in Meiding City and joining the first training camp soon, he would eventually come into the sight of the enemies, both overt and covert. Various severe challenges would follow one after another.
Come.
However, he had no choice but to go all the way!
In silence, Roy felt the spiritual energy in his body that had not yet had time to digest, and smiled slightly: "In three days, we will go to Munni City."
The four knights looked at each other and nodded.
Now that the crisis in Meiding City has been resolved, it doesn't matter when they leave. However, they are still a little strange, what does Roy want to do if he stays here?
Time flies, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the war was still raging, and people were also marching on their own life tracks, heading towards an unknown future.
The news of Lulian's great victory has spread to all directions along with the messenger's horse and the flight of the cloud-piercing swallow.
For the Philip Empire, this was an unacceptable defeat. Emperor Peter was so angry that he issued seventeen edicts in one night, removing several derelict generals in the southwest theater from their posts, locking them up, and escorting them back to the country. He also quickly mobilized troops
,Reinforce Lulian.
Contrary to the Fei Lie Empire, the same news was tantamount to a shot in the arm for the Saint Solan Empire, which was retreating steadily. People rushed to tell each other and high-fived each other, and many cities spontaneously organized parades to celebrate.
celebrate.
The significance of this victory is really great.
In terms of military value, after this battle, the situation in the southern coastal theater stabilized, and the empire had more time to make arrangements calmly.
From a political perspective, this battle not only broke the myth that Fei Lie's army was unstoppable since the beginning of the war, and calmed the panic of the empire. It also strengthened the authority and cohesion of the royal family at the most critical moment.
As the candidates for the commanders of the three newly formed legions have been finalized, the imperial nobles have invisibly formed a situation where Edward I is the leader. No matter what the future holds, at least in this war, everyone has temporarily formed a unity.
Also during this period, news of the attack on the Holy See's convoy in Meiding City had spread among the Saint Solan Holy See and the aristocratic circles.
While people were shocked, they also watched the waves caused by the stone spread rapidly.
As soon as he received the news, Pope Solan sent a special envoy to lead a brigade of Holy See knights south to Lulian.
Archbishop Lullian even held an emergency meeting overnight, ordering the bishop of Lullian West District to investigate the truth and arrest the murderer before the papal envoy arrived.
For a moment, all I could see were the men in black from the Inquisition gathered in Meding City, as if a storm was about to come.
Ordinary people can only stay away from these things except for secretly talking about them after dinner.
For this reason, the Ling family, who had originally planned to move to Munni City in a week, specially advanced their schedule.
Speaking of which, Ling Shuang Lingxue has something to do with this matter. Joining the first training camp as early as possible and moving your family away from Meiding City is the best way to avoid the Inquisition and avoid being randomly troubled by those men in black.
Good idea.
However, Ling Shuang and Ling Xue didn't know that their temporarily changed departure time was on the same day as Roy's confirmed time.
For three days, Roy practiced as usual by the lakeside in the morning, and then went to the mission hall to draw magic patterns. His life was calm and regular.
People didn't connect this kid with his hood over his head, mingling among the crowd, with anything they were talking about.
Whether it was the lone wolf of the magic pattern master; the vengeful demon who attacked the Vatican's convoy; or the young man who led thousands of ragtag soldiers to victory in the Battle of Meiding, but ended up lying on a stretcher, covered in blood and unable to see his face.
Magicians are just legends spread among people.
Out of their sight, Roy was like a silent ghost, quietly moving towards his goal.
"Wow!"
The cool and calm lake water was broken by a black head emerging from the bottom of the water.
Amidst the water splashing all over the sky, Roy's thin figure soared into the sky, turned around in mid-air, and shot toward the shore like a cloud-piercing swallow that activated its wind jet skill!
"Boom!" Roy rolled over and landed firmly. Under his feet, a faint halo of light flashed in the flying dust!
"Okay!" came the praise of the dwarf ax spirit: "Roy, you have absorbed all the spiritual energy, and the fighting spirit has been condensed to the extreme at the ninth level. As long as you work harder, you can truly condense the battle ring.
!Don’t relax!”
"I understand!" Roy nodded. Magic power surged in his body, and the water stains on his clothes instantly turned into water elements and dissipated.
"Not bad, not bad!" The dwarf ax spirit seemed a little excited and muttered, "I didn't expect that a fifth-level spiritual energy pill would be absorbed by you for 90%. If some spiritual energy hadn't been dissipated before, you could have absorbed 100% of it.
!This is so important.”
"How do you compare with who else?" Roy shook his head, thinking of Augustus, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "With the wealth and heritage of a super family like Golden Dragon, I'm afraid the fifth and sixth level spiritual energy pills will be used
Can you put it in a box?"
"You can't settle the account like that." The dwarf Ax Spirit chuckled and said, "You have to understand that although elixirs are very helpful to practice, they also have serious side effects. There are certain things to pay attention to when taking elixirs. The more you take, the faster you practice.
The sooner.”
"Oh?" Roy asked curiously: "Why?"
"Our fighting spirit comes from the source power, and the strength of the source power does not only depend on the quantity, but also on the quality!" The dwarf said: "The source power obtained by transforming the energy of the world through practice is the purest. And the elixir is the purest.
Although the medicine itself contains a lot of energy, no matter how powerful the pharmacist is, it is impossible to completely refine the harmful impurities in the medicine."
"There is an old saying that is called 'medicine is three parts poison'." At this point, the dwarf's tone became serious, with some warning: "So, after taking the elixir, it will take a long time to digest and absorb it."
, through practice, the toxins in the source power can be forced out of the body."
"If someone wants to forcefully practice by taking a lot of drugs, then even if his source power can be improved quickly, it is still a rootless thing. He cannot keep up with the practice, and the quality is not as good as other people of the same level.
When drug toxins accumulate over time, they will create hidden dangers."
Roy nodded thoughtfully. He sat down under a big tree and asked, "Does this have anything to do with my ability to store spiritual energy?"
"Of course!" the dwarf said: "When the pharmacist makes medicine, he will try his best to remove the harmful parts from the materials. But there will always be some remaining in the medicine. The harmful parts of every medicine are the same. These things are not
It will spread out automatically like spiritual energy. In other words."
"I receive one dose of poison, but I can get three times the spiritual energy. To get three times the spiritual energy, other people have to accept three times the toxins. Even if these toxins are removed from the source of power through practice, it will take three times.
Time!" Roy responded quickly.
"Yes!" the dwarf said with a smile: "So, don't underestimate your ability. Besides, the higher the level of cultivation, the higher the level requirements for pills. When you reach Sophia's level, a five-star spiritual energy pill
The spiritual energy provided may not be as much as the energy of heaven and earth you absorb during a day of practice."
"What about the seven-star, eight-star, or nine-star and ten-star spiritual energy pills?" Roy asked.
"This is another benefit of your ability." The dwarf said: "The more precious the elixir is, the more precious your ability is."
"For example, a ten-star god-given spiritual energy pill requires a beast king-level magic core. Other precious materials are equally rare. No matter how powerful the family is, it is impossible to obtain it at will. Therefore, at the same huge cost,
If you only get a high-level elixir at the price, your ability can guarantee that you will get three times more benefits than others!"
"So that's it." Roy suddenly realized, hehehehe.
From this point of view, compared with Augustus, he finally has a slight advantage. If they both get a precious elixir, Augustus will only have the effect of taking one, while he will take one.
But three of them are worth him.
Pills above level 10 cannot be found casually!
"Okay, you've rested enough, get up and practice." The dwarf said, "The sword spirit is still waiting for you to wake up."
Roy jumped up, quickly passed through a bush, ran deep into the jungle, and stood in a circled open space.
"Start!" said the dwarf.
Roy waved his hand, and a small cyan wind blade shot out into the air, cutting a rope on a big tree.
Once the rope was broken, the entire jungle seemed to have been triggered by a series of traps. The surrounding trees were seen shaking violently, and sharpened wooden spears were shot towards Roy like lightning.
Breathable.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Amidst the dense sound of breaking through the air, Roy's figure was wandering. The judgment in his hand had turned into a sword, constantly stabbing at the imaginary enemy in the void.
Poof. A wooden spear flew towards me.
The wooden spear originally landed on Roy's left chest, but at the critical moment, Roy's body twisted strangely and pierced his arm.
Even though he was wearing second-level armor, the sharp spear point still hurt Roy's arm.
However, he had no time to cry out in pain. At this moment, he had focused all his attention on the point where the spear tip touched his body. His muscles twisted and changed in an instant, trying to release as much force as possible with this subtle change.
, reduce the damage.
"Four points!" The voice of the dwarf ax spirit came in my mind, "Your muscles have changed slowly. If it were the enemy's sword, your hand would have opened a big bloody hole."
Roy did not answer. He took several wrong steps in succession to avoid several wooden spears flying at the same time. At the same time, his body muscles twisted violently as a wooden spear pierced his left leg.
When the wooden spear that was supposed to pierce the lower abdomen ended up only grazing the outer skin of the thigh, the dwarf's voice sounded: "Nine points! A small cut. The fatal injury turned into a skin wound. Well done."
Roy was happy, and then he was shot twice in succession. He was in a hurry and could only hear the angry voice of the dwarf.
"Six points! You can't dodge such a simple thing. The sword spirit will kill you when it wakes up!"
"Three points! Idiot! Focus!"
Roy gathered his mind and concentrated on identifying the flying path of every wooden spear around him, dodging quickly.
As he concentrated his energy, the score in the dwarf's mouth also gradually increased.
After a while, all the pre-designed wooden spears in this forest were used up, and Roy quickly ran to the next forest where he was also prepared.
In the early morning sunshine, the figure of the black-haired boy ran along the lake. Wherever he passed, the trees swayed, making a roaring sound like a heavy rain. Wooden spears shot out with lightning, and the sound of whizzing through the air was continuous.
Continuously.
After a full hour of training, Roy's body was already covered with bruises. Some of the exposed skin was even stained with blood.
"Good job." The dwarf said: "Today's total score is 20% higher than the previous two days. It's considered an introduction."
getting Started?
Roy collapsed on the grass, panting and sweating. There was only one question in his mind - ax spirit, sword spirit, staff spirit. What kind of monsters are these guys!
Don't try to figure out the answer for now. But one thing Roy understands very well is that if he learns the skills of these guys, and has the same magic core as Warcraft in his body, I am afraid that he will be the biggest in the world.
monster!
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, with a rustling sound, Maler, Ivan and others appeared in front of him on horseback.
"They are coming." said the dwarf ax spirit, "it's time to set off!"
"Munni City," Roy climbed up and murmured: "What do you think they will do if they know I entered the training camp?"
"No matter what they do," the dwarf ax spirit said calmly, "hack him to death!"
"I think so too!" Roy chuckled, walked to the smiling Mal'er and Ivan, got on his horse, and turned to look at the location of the church.
The saddle presented to Archbishop Lullian had been prepared two days ago.
If the estimate is correct, Joseph should be standing in front of the archbishop with it at this time, waiting for his fate to be pronounced.
And he will also go to Munni City and truly embark on the road to that high world.
That’s the journey!
"Ha!" Roy turned the horse's head, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and said in a loud voice: "Let's go!"
Amidst the shouts, everyone followed suit.
Only the sound of rapid hoofbeats was heard, and a moment later, six horses followed Oliver, who flew out like an arrow.
In the quiet forest beside the lake in Meiding City, only the dappled sunlight and wooden spears stuck in the ground are left.
Amidst the sound of roaring forest waves, the sky is filled with wind and clouds!
