the last magic noble

Chapter 25 A desolate magician who joins forces?

Laura and I were flocked all the way to the deliberation tent in the center of the village.The villagers enthusiastically brought out gifts to entertain us, and some poor old and weak women and children took out the only cheese and dried meat.

I have been busy politely refusing. Laura has seen big scenes before. She walked to the middle of the tent and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. I have a few words to say." The villagers in the tent were enthusiastic. The sound of discussion drowned Laura's words in the sea of ​​people.

"Quiet! Let's listen to this heroic lady knight!" A young man roared loudly, and the tent fell silent instantly.

"Thank you." Laura nodded to the young man and then turned to everyone: "Everyone, I want to tell everyone that as a knight, I maintain chivalry, rescue the weak, and uphold justice is my duty, so you don't need to thank me. Everyone's praise is my reward, so please take back all the thank you gifts, you need it more than me."

The young man who spoke just now suddenly raised his hand: "Your Excellency the Knight, uh, Miss, Miss Knight." The young man struggled to address Laura with noble words, but he kept showing timidity.

Seeing this, Laura smiled and said, "Everyone, my name is Laura Hurley, the eldest daughter of the Hurley family. You can just teach me Laura."

The young man rubbed his head foolishly, and smiled shyly: "I'm sorry, Miss Laura, I am the leader of this settlement, and my name is Sival Ambrose. On behalf of all the villagers, I invite you and this clever The brave Mister Sorcerer accepts our wishes. Although it is not much, it is our most precious gift."

Laura shook her head and said to the villagers: "Eldo villagers, I hope you understand that you need it more than me, and we are just passing by. After resting, we will continue on our way tomorrow, so all the villagers , as long as you can arrange a place for us to rest for one night." After finishing speaking, Laura asked the young man to arrange a place to live.

The young man led the villagers from door to door looking for bedding and vacant rooms. Laura and I took this rare opportunity to walk around the village.The village is not big. It can be seen that the life of the villagers must be relatively difficult. Most villagers live in tents made of wood and linen, and only a few families live in wooden houses.Some wooden houses in other places only have a frame.

We walked to a meadow and sat on the ground. Laura patted me on the shoulder and praised me: "Not bad, Hummer, haven't you lost your ability to control the elements? Why are you more proficient in using magic than before? gone?"

I giggled, and then suddenly realized: Yes, the dagger is already out of hand, how can I send out so many water stings?Could it be that I have been able to control the elemental power in the artifact from a distance?

"What are you thinking, boy, if it weren't for me, your head would have been taken back as a wine glass." Gaines sighed helplessly in my mind.

"Hummer, Hummer, I'm talking to you." Laura shook me when she saw that I was distracted.

I shrugged and said, "It wasn't me, it was Gaines who saved me just now. I knew I wasn't that capable." Laura burst out laughing when she heard this, and then she put her face close to my chest and shouted, "Thank you You, Mr. Gaines!"

This move was very ambiguous, and my face was instantly red and hot like a boiled shrimp.

After staying like this for a while, Sival ran over and said: "Miss Knight, Mister Magician, dinner is ready, and everyone is waiting in the tent for discussion. The accommodation is also ready, please rest after dinner .”

Speaking of food, my stomach growled.Maybe Sival heard it too, so he hurriedly led us into the tent.The wind lanterns have been lit in the tent, the roasted smoked chicken and hare on the table are burnt yellow oil, the salad mixed with vegetables and berries is shiny, and the most important thing is that there is even gin.

Laura and I were clustered around the middle of the long table.The young man took the lead in raising his wine glass: "On behalf of the villagers of Eldo Village, I would like to thank you two for your heroic deeds and saved the village." After speaking, he took the lead and knocked on the wine table with the wine glass, and the other villagers He also knocked, and let out a low growl of "Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho...".

Laura was startled by this action, she leaned into my ear and asked me, I lowered my head and said, "This is a custom for common people to celebrate, you just drink it."

I have lived in Inverness since I was a child, and I know the customs of many places from the guests from south to north. Commoners and nobles not only drink different wines, but also celebrate in different ways. The nobles usually hold banquets, mostly wine and mead. Commoners, on the other hand, mostly drink gin and rough brewed beer, and their celebration methods are more bold and unrestrained than that of nobles.

I took the glass with Laura and took the lead in drinking it. This was one of the few times I drank. The gin had a strong aftertaste and was much stronger than beer and cider.Laura coughed and choked after she finished her glass, but we swallowed anyway.

After toasting, everyone began to feast on the plates in front of them.I also unceremoniously gnawed on the hare. Among the many animals, I like to eat the hare the most. The meat is chewy, delicious, fat but not greasy, and it will be fragrant when roasted without seasoning.

After everyone ate like this for a while, the young man walked up to us and asked, "You two, I heard today that you two are leaving tomorrow?"

I was eating a hare, and I didn't have any extra mouth to speak. Laura had been eating very elegantly, so she nodded: "Yes, we have to hurry because we are going to Olvia Mountain."

The young man hesitated to speak, but I saw the clue, and said, "Sival, are you worried about Daesh's comeback?" Laura said, "No way, Daesh!" Yisi and his gang suffered heavy casualties today, and he himself was seriously injured, I think they will not attack again in a short time, and you can take advantage of this time to seek help from the lord."

Hearing this method, the young man drank a glass of wine and said: "You two, our Eldor village is the fiefdom of the Archmage Sauk of the Oxili Kingdom. We wanted to go to the Archmage Sauk several times to ask for help, but I couldn’t even see him. Moreover, one or two times, the hunters in the village who went hunting came back and said that they saw a barren magician going to a village with Daes and the others.”

"Desolation Magician? Who are these people?" I asked curiously.

The young man shook his head: "I don't know who they are, but according to what the previous village leader told me, the barren magician is a magician organization cultivated by Archmage Sauk, and they are in the Orvius you are looking for." On Ashan. They hang out with the bandit Daes, so it’s useless for us to find him. So we don’t know what to do. Next time, we’re afraid that the barren magician will really come to trouble us. Hey.”

With that said, the young man returned to his seat, drinking mulled wine.

I understand what the youth mean, he wants us to stay and protect them.But we do have our own mission.However, if it is really related to Sok Olvia, then we can mediate in the middle. Moreover, magicians have always been a noble profession like knights, so they should not be in the same boat as thieves. After all, they are not evil mages. A scum of a magician.

After I told Laura my idea, Laura nodded and agreed with me. After I told the young man, the young man thought about it and could only agree.

After the banquet was over, Laura and I went back to the residence to rest. The villagers cleaned up the biggest one of the few wooden houses for us, and brought a lot of quilts with coarse cloth and straw stuffed inside.Laura sniffed it, frowned and said, "It smells so bad... how can I sleep..."

I lay on the quilt, turned my back to Laura and said: "This is the life of common people like us. The eldest lady has never seen it since she was a child, but now she has seen it. These may be all their warm quilts, and they have no gold, silver and jade objects." , silk and satin, I think it is the best reward they can think of to give us these. Don't pick and choose."

After being reprimanded by me, Laura was a little angry: "I'm not picky, but I didn't expect them to live so hard. I think we should help them. Tomorrow we will go to Olvia Mountain and find Sauk Olvia made it clear that if the barren magicians are not involved in this matter, let them fulfill their responsibility to protect their fiefdom. If they are really involved, then..."

I didn't hear clearly after that, because of the exhaustion of the journey and the feeling of drunkenness, I had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The next day I was woken up by Laura, and when I got up in a daze, there was already a large piece of cheese, bread, and a few slices of bacon on the table in the room.

"Hurry up and eat, we're going to leave after eating." I ate my breakfast in big gulps, and when I looked up, I found Laura sighing. Seeing how delicious my food was, she cast a disdainful look at me.

I knew what Laura was thinking, but I already had a solution in my mind, so I swallowed the bread in my mouth and said, "Laura, don't worry, I have a solution, you can eat it quickly."

When Laura heard what I said, she was elated and jumped up and shouted, "Really? You really have a way?"

I pointed to the breakfast, and Laura ate breakfast happily, then pulled me and asked, "Tell me, what can you do?"

I was chanting the ancient magic mantra "Turn wind into form, life into guidance, with your power, call my true name."

As the spell ended, Gaines appeared in front of us angrily, and I pointed at Gaines and snickered at Laura, "Well, here's how we do it."

But Gaines was furious: "Humer, you unfilial descendant, disturbing your ancestors' rest early in the morning, I really regret teaching you this spell!"
