Roy returned to the small building and walked along the stairs to the corner between the second and third floors when he saw a slim figure sitting quietly on the stairs with his chin in hand under the dim light. (《》)
"Carol?" Roy stood up, a little surprised.
Carol is Sally's daughter. Because Sally and Hans had been married not long ago in a small church not far from the manor, Carol officially became Hans' stepdaughter.
In the entire manor, Carol is perhaps the person with the least sense of existence.
Her mother Sally is gentle, kind, diligent and capable. She manages all the maids in the manor and is responsible for taking care of the small white building where the owner lives and the annex building next to it where the maids and servants live, as well as all the affairs of the kitchen and garden.
Carole's stepfather Hans is now also a respected police captain. He works in the city during the day. After get off work in the evening, he returns to the manor, puts on a pair of shabby work clothes, trains and feeds the horses, and repairs the stables. and racecourse railings.
Because Hans was humble to others and had a high prestige among the Borabel people, everyone in the manor liked him very much.
Especially the children of some farmers and servants, as soon as they saw him riding on the road down the mountain, they cheered and went to the gate of the manor to greet him. And every time, Hans's pocket that could turn out candy did not disappoint them.
Pass.
Everyone is sincerely happy for Hans and Sally to meet and fall in love in such troubled times. However, just like many seemingly happy families, this newly formed family also has a small problem.
Small problem.
That's Sally's daughter Carol.
Carol is one year younger than Roy, and has a delicate and beautiful appearance. She has inherited all the advantages of her mother, Sally, and is more attractive than Sally, who was famous for her beauty in her hometown when she was young.
Ever since she moved into the manor, Carol's daily job has been to take care of the few horses in the manor.
There are a total of twelve horses in the manor. Hans has a yellow six-year-old Friedersberg horse, which he bought for five gold coins. Although it is not a famous horse, it has a docile and obedient personality.
It is light on its feet and is a very good riding horse.
The horses of several Red Leaf Knights are also fed here. They are four tall and powerful black Chateau horses. The most dishonest people in the stable are these energetic guys. Only their owners can make them be more honest.
Among the remaining seven horses, two Andalusian horses are used by Roy and Malt to ride when they go out every day. There are also two Tregna horses used to pull the carriage and three plow horses.
The land and the carts and horses were just bought back.
In the manor, Carol is like an invisible person. She spends much more time with horses every day than with people.
Whether it is working time or dining time, people rarely see Carol. This charming girl always stays out of people's sight, either in her attic room looking out the window in a daze, or in the stable
Talk to the horse.
She almost never appears in the living room or the hillside in the backyard where everyone likes to enjoy the shade. Occasionally, people can see her lonely figure in the quiet woods or orchards of the manor when the sunset has completely sunk into the horizon.
She lived so quietly. In the words of a nun who was once frightened half to death by her walking out of the woods at night, she looked like a ghost.
And as everyone lived together longer and longer, people in the manor got to know Carol better and better. Everyone knew that this girl was far from as calm as she seemed on the surface.
Her character is very similar to her father who committed suicide because he lost his fortune in gambling. On the surface, he is gentle and quiet, but in fact he is extreme and rebellious. She likes to pursue excitement and regards secular morality as nothing. Like a fire, there is danger in her bones.
Moreover, the environment in which she lived since childhood gave her a severe sense of insecurity.
As she grew older and became more beautiful than her mother, she began to arm and protect herself in various ways.
She had been a thief and a liar. When she was fifteen years old, she would lift up her skirt in the slums to reveal a pair of slender breasts, seducing some passing travelers and luring them into remote alleys to be robbed by her accomplices.
.Temple
This violent and rebellious character makes her seem out of place in this manor. She is as restless as fire and as cold as ice.
No matter who she is facing, her beautiful green eyes always flash with a vigilant and cold light, just like a little wild cat, she will arch her back when faced with anyone who approaches, whether with good intentions or for other purposes.
, the hair is standing on end, and the swords are at war.
Even before she came to the manor, Carol was famous for being fierce in the slums. No one could think of provoking this quiet-looking girl. Even the fierce sisters like Xiaolan had to admit that Carol
I am far more dangerous than them.
When he first arrived in Munich, Carol once kicked a gangster who tried to molest him until he almost lost his fertility. At that time, if Hans, who was a police officer, had not helped, he had spent a lot of money.
I'm afraid things won't calm down yet.
Roy and Carol have not known each other for a long time and have not spent much time together.
Maybe it's because Roy once saved his mother Sally, and Carol is not indifferent to him. But out of ten sentences, she can only answer one or two sentences at most. And they are all in the category of "um" and "um".
When Roy came back today, he didn't see Carol again. Even when everyone in the manor came out to see the newly bought slave, she was nowhere to be seen. Unexpectedly, she was sitting here, obviously waiting for him
.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Carol's slightly pale face in the dim light, Roy sat down next to her and asked.
Carol hugged her knees and looked at Roy with a pair of green eyes like a cat. Her eyes were complicated, as if she was struggling with something in her heart.
Roy waited quietly.
After a long time, Carol finally asked: "Master Roy, did you cure that knight?"
Roy had a headache: "Carol, don't call me Master."
The title of young master was initiated by several Red Leaf Knights. Ever since they found out that even the Red Leaf Knights respectfully called Roy Young Master, everyone seemed to feel that it was a bit inappropriate for them to regard Roy as the little handyman he used to be.
Not quite appropriate.
Especially after Roy bought the manor and became the owner of the manor, it goes without saying that Grandet and a group of slaves and servants called the young master smoothly. Even Aunt Sally and Uncle Poshkin and other former Bolabel's
The residents naturally changed their minds.
The only thing that makes Roy thankful is that at least Daddy Ken and Hans are still the same as before. Of course, apart from them, Malia is not called Master. When she is unhappy, she is called "Big Head", and when she is happy, she is called "Master".
She called "Master" with charming eyes.
She is the one who can't stand it the most!
"Really? Master." Carol seemed nervous about this question. She completely ignored Roy's words and asked, her eyes shining brightly in the dim corridor.
"Yeah. Yes." Roy nodded helplessly and straightened his legs.
Hearing Roy's answer, Carol's hands silently clenched the corners of her skirt, and her eyes struggled more and more. She seemed to be expecting something, but also seemed to be afraid and hesitant.
"Master, you can cure knights..." Carol bit her lip and said nervously: "Then can you cure magicians?"
"Magician?" Roy was stunned and looked at Carol with some confusion.
Carol didn't speak, but slowly stretched out her hand.
As a wave of magic appeared on the tips of her delicate white fingers, a spark bloomed silently.
"Magic awakens!" Roy's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
Having known Carol for so long, he had never known that Carol was also a magic awakener.
There are too few people with magical talents in this world. Because of their scarcity, not only magicians are regarded as treasures, but also those magicians who cannot break through the magic barrier and change professions can also obtain wealth and power unimaginable by ordinary people.
status!
For a girl who lives a poor and homeless life and is extremely insecure, there is no luckier gift than the gift of magic. ("")
With such a talent, Carol can definitely apply for the training camp. The training camp does not limit the application time for precious magic students. Even if the entrance day has passed, she can still take the assessment.
As long as she becomes a magic student, she doesn't have to be a liar or thief or lift up her skirt to lure prey. She can get everything she wants - whether it's protecting herself or letting her mother, Sally, live a good life.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier..." Roy suddenly stood up, but soon he realized the problem. He looked at Carol, who was silent and pale, with some confusion.
Asked: "You just asked me if I could heal the magician, you..."
"I only know this." Carol looked at Roy, her charming green eyes full of grievance and pain: "Master, can you help me."
This may be the first time that Carol has shown anything other than indifference in her eyes in front of others, and it is also the first time that the stubborn woman has taken the initiative to say something in the hope of getting help. At this moment, she is like a woman who has removed all the spikes from her body.
As weak and helpless as a little hedgehog.
"You only know this?" Looking at the girl's helpless eyes, Roy felt a little distressed, "What's going on?"
"My perception is very poor," Carol lowered her head and said, "Because I can't sense the elements, I can't arrange the elemental array. In addition to the most basic seven-element array, as long as the elemental array is slightly more complicated, I can
It won’t work.”
Roy looked at Carol blankly, speechless for a moment.
The perception of elements is like human eyes to any magician.
Without eyes, people would not be able to see the environment clearly, and would be in great trouble whether walking or doing things. The same goes for magicians. Without perception, they cannot perceive elements, and naturally they cannot arrange elemental arrays to release magic.
But after all, blind people still have ears, noses, hands and feet. They can also rely on hearing, smell and touch to perceive everything around them. If a magician has no perception, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence for the path of magic!
Roy had heard of countless awakened people staying in place forever because they could not break through the demonic barrier, but he had never heard of Carol's situation.
Looking at the lonely expression on Carol's beautiful face, Roy asked: "Carol...when did you find out about your awakening?"
"Eight years old." Carol said softly, with a trace of tears in her eyes.
Roy felt a little sad and sat down next to Carol.
Having a magical talent is a huge turning point in life for both Carol and her family. However, the timing of this appearance is extremely cruel for Carol.
When Carol was seven years old, her father committed suicide because he lost all his family property. If her magic talent could be awakened earlier, or her father could have been in trouble later, Carol's life might have been different.
.
In addition, the defect in perception is too cruel to this girl.
If you can't sense the elements, you can't cast magic. The precious magical talent can't bring any benefits to her and her mother. They still live in the slums, still wear shabby clothes, and eat unpalatable rye.
Bread and even candles should be used sparingly.
My mother was still harassed and frightened by different people. She was still looked down upon and ridiculed by her peers, and she still had to hang out with liars and thieves.
It's like God gave a poor man a cornucopia of treasure, but didn't let him get any wealth from it. This kind of pain is even more maddening than having nothing.
Now, Roy has completely understood the reason why Carol always stayed away from the crowd like a ghost, often staying alone in the attic, stables or in the woods without communicating with anyone. Because ordinary people simply can't.
Understand the pain she endured.
At the same time, he could fully imagine how Carol hoped to get his help after hearing that he had cured Kalenich's fighting spirit.
Roy was silent, a little sad.
He couldn't heal Carol. Perception was the use of mental power, which was completely different from the knight's fighting spirit. That was a problem that he was completely incapable of solving. But he knew that if such words were spoken, the blow to Carol would be fatal.
.
The two sat quietly on the stairs.
As time passed by, the light of hope in Carol's eyes gradually dimmed along with Roy's silent face, turning into ashes.
The girl stood up slowly and walked downstairs step by step.
"Wait a minute." Roy suddenly shouted.
Although he could not fundamentally solve Carol's perception problem, he came up with an idea to let Carol release magic as well.
Unlike Carol, who has extremely poor perception, Roy is completely at the other extreme in terms of elemental perception.
Although ordinary second-level Langxing mages have enough magic power, their perception is not enough to support them in completing the elemental array of seventh-level magic. Roy can see elements with his eyes alone.
This is why he is completely unrestricted by his perception and can release seventh-level magic. It is also this reason that makes him the only person in the world who can help Carol.
You must know that when a magician releases magic, the elements controlled by the magic are exclusive. No magician can perceive or control another magician's elemental array.
This feature prevents magicians from interfering with the opponent's elemental arrangement during close combat, and also prevents them from providing help to another magician's elemental array arrangement training.
But Roy is different.
Although he can't interfere with the opponent, his eyes can allow him to see the magic element array that the opponent is about to release. This means that he can accurately know where Carol is arranging the element array.
mistake and help her correct it.
And Carol's current situation is not completely without sentience.
It can be seen from her ability to release the seven-element basic magic circle that her problem is that her perception is weak and she cannot release more advanced magic. But all magic is arranged by seven-element basic magic circle. As small as
Fireballs are as big as forbidden spells. The only difference is the number and method of combining the seven elemental arrays.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
Just like many blind people can move around freely in a familiar room and accurately find things in the room, as long as Carol can skillfully master the fixed arrangement of the elemental array, she can also release magic.
Although this method is a bit clumsy, it is currently the only way to solve Carol's problem.
Moreover, every magician knows that when a magic element array is practiced repeatedly, it will form an instinct. They practice various auxiliary spells and gestures every day because only subconscious arrangement can make it faster.
Unleash the magic.
In the world of magic, this is called the consciousness array, commonly known as blind typing!
Hearing Roy's voice, Carol stopped and slowly turned around. There was still no sparkle in her green eyes.
Roy stood up and said to her: "Come to the laboratory with me."
After reaching the third floor, Roy backed away from the laboratory door, turned aside to let Carol in, and closed the door.
Because I usually meditate here, I am afraid of being disturbed, and there is a certain degree of danger when doing magic experiments. Therefore, the laboratory has been specially reinforced. Even the door is half a foot thick and extremely heavy. Once it is closed, the whole world appears.
They all seemed to be isolated.
Perhaps it was due to the isolation of space, and they could hear each other's breathing, and they were both at the age when Zhimu Shaoai was starting to fall in love, so the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little abnormal.
Carole wore a white dress and stood quietly in the center of the room looking at Roy. There was a hint of panic on her face, and a faint pink color that was imperceptible appeared on her face. Roy closed the door and turned around to meet Roy.
The girl's eyes were also a little unnatural.
"Ahem," Roy coughed and said hesitantly, "Carol, I need to check your magic power."
"Oh." Carol nodded.
The two people looked at each other, big eyes staring at small eyes. For a long time, Roy reluctantly stretched out his hand and said with some embarrassment: "Give me your hand."
Carol bit her lip, stretched out her delicate white hand, placed it in Roy's palm, and looked at him unblinkingly with a pair of green eyes.
When the two people's hands touched, Roy felt the girl's gentle and soft hands, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and his face felt feverish. On the contrary, Carol looked better, her hands only shook slightly, and she lay quietly on Roy's back.
Yi Zhang's heart stopped moving.
"Well..." Roy said, "I will use my magic power and perception to detect your magic power... uh... let's get started."
The corner of Carol's mouth unconsciously evoked a long-lost smile. Roy's clumsiness and ridiculousness made her feel kind and at ease for some reason.
She had done seductive things and knew how those people behaved in front of her. But Roy was different from everyone else. His face was actually redder than hers!
Carol looked at Roy intently, and her eyes were gradually attracted by the serious and focused Roy. Looking at that face, although not handsome, but far more masculine than his peers, she suddenly became inexplicably flustered, and her heart
Jumped suddenly.
At this time, Roy's perception also entered Carol's body along with a trace of magic power, all the way down the body.
Carol bit her lip tightly.
At this moment, Roy was completely immersed in the exploration of Carol's magic power. In his concept, Carol's body was like a magic pattern scroll, and all his energy was focused on detecting the magic pattern.
The magic power in it keeps extending forward.
But this little bastard never expected that Carol was not a magic scroll, but a lively girl.
For Carol, this was life-threatening.
The feeling of a girl's body being invaded by a man's perception is simply more embarrassing than being naked in front of Roy. After all, the naked body only exposes the appearance, but Roy's exploration goes deep into her.
The most secret place in the body.
Moreover, when Roy's magic power and perception traveled along her body, it brought an indescribable feeling. It was like a tiny, tiny ant crawling inside her body, itching, why?
I couldn't even scratch it, and my whole body was numb.
This kind of sexual taste that she had never experienced before suddenly made Carol's whole body feel weak and her cheeks turned red. If she hadn't bit her lips tightly, the soul-stirring moan in her throat would have blurted out.
But Roy knew nothing about all this.
"The magic pattern of life is very complete..." This stupid bastard murmured to himself as he searched with his head sullenly: "The energy line is perfect, the magic power source is sufficient, and the magic power can be replenished very quickly...
...Eh..."
"You have accumulated more than five thousand magic codes! It has reached the level of a wizard!" Roy raised his head in surprise.
At this time, Carol had turned into a puddle of soft water, closed her eyes, and fell softly into his arms with a red face.
"Carol..." Roy was startled, subconsciously supported Carol, put a hand on her forehead, and said urgently: "What's wrong? You feel so hot. You're sick."
?”
As Roy's perception and magic power exited the body, the numbness in Carol's body disappeared. As soon as her body returned to normal, she immediately realized that she had fallen into Roy's arms, her body and his thin but containing endless potential.
The powerful bodies stick together tightly.
The touch from her well-developed chest and lower abdomen made her jump up like an electric shock and quickly left Roy's arms.
Looking at the red-faced Carol, Roy also realized something. His heart palpitated, and then he coughed a few times and said, "Are you okay?"
As he spoke, he touched his nose with his hand to hide his embarrassment.
