Evetrona's old stories

"How do you fish?" Eve's question returned to the original topic.

"The ice must be broken through first." Marco said, "It's winter now, how thick do you think the ice will be in two months? I think it must be at least one meter thick here."

"So what do we do?" Eve asked.

"You can't chisel it, you can only use magic. Can you Yuguang?"

"Yu Guang Lei Ting?"

"Yes." Marco was very happy, he took out a silver coin from his pocket, and said, "You come to activate the magic, and I will pay you, one silver coin each time."

Eve froze for a moment, then politely refused: "I'm not in shape today, you should come by yourself."

She felt that this person seemed to have some brain problems, and it would be better to stay away for a while.

"You mean—you pay me to do it?" Marco asked in his broken Kriging.

"What does this have to do with me? I don't need to dig a hole to fish." Eve felt that this person's speech seemed illogical, and wondered if it was because of poor language expression.

"You're also curious, aren't you?" Marco's words were right, "Just hire someone to watch the fun, how about it?"

Eve hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and took out a silver coin from her pocket.If it's just to watch the fun, she really has nothing to lose.

"No, no." Marco waved his hand and said, "Yu Guang won't be able to burn through the ice layer once, just a few more times."

"Then how much do you want?"

"A small shellfish, more refunds, less compensation."

A small shellfish is 20 silver coins.

Eve sighed, not wanting to argue with him.She pulled out a small oval gold coin from her cuff, put it in the opponent's hand, and warned him: "20 times at most, even if you don't succeed, I won't pay again."

"No problem, boss."

Marco put the money into his pocket, but still stood there motionless.

"How long do you want to brew?" Eve waited for a while, seeing that he hadn't responded, finally couldn't help asking.

"I thought about it, and I still think you should come, little white rabbit." Marco said, "I'm not very proficient in using this kind of magic, so I'm afraid I'll accidentally hurt the two of us."

Eve frowned and looked at him without saying a word.

"Well, you help me open a hole, and I'll pay you a small shell, and you can buy it with a hammer. What do you think?" Marco took out the small shell that he got from Eve.

Eve glared at him, turned around and stepped on the horse in the stirrups.

"Crazy." She also cursed.

[89] Winter Wind (Part [-])

Marco rushed to Eve almost instantly, startling both her and Guennai.She didn't expect this man to run so fast.

Gua Ennai was already standing unsteadily on the ice, so frightened by him, he moved his hooves uneasily.Eve was afraid that it would run away in shock, so she patted its neck to comfort it.

"What exactly do you want?" Eve asked him coldly.This man is simply a rogue.

"Sorry, I just want to ask you for a favor." Marco begged.

"I warn you, I am a knight, and I will not be polite if I do this again."

"I know, Knight of Shengfeng Mountain." Marco pointed to the badge on her chest, "Aren't you the most willing to help others? If you don't help me today, I will starve to death here."

"You have nothing to eat?" Eve looked this man up and down, "Then why not follow me to Schulenburg?"

"I'm allergic to crowded places," Marco said.

"What's the reason?" Eve sighed, turned over and got off the horse, "Don't bother me again, just this once."

"If you could hurry up, we would have finished it long ago." Seeing that she was willing to help, Ma was very happy.

Eve put one hand on the spell-casting book, and raised the other hand forward, palm facing outward.

"Go further to the left." Marco commanded.

"Is that so?" Eve resisted and didn't have an attack.

"That's it, barely."

Eve focused and began to whisper the spell.Yu Guang's incantation was originally a bit long, but through this spellcasting book to cast spells indirectly, the recitation time can be shortened by about one-third.

Yuguang Thunderbolt is a traditional magic of Yujiao, which is used by many people nowadays, but due to the different understanding of this magic, the final casting effect will be very different.There are many factors that affect the final effect, such as the movement of the hand, the rearrangement and inversion of mantra phrases, repetitions and chanting cycles.Misreading or correcting and rereading some spells is likely to cause unknown consequences, and some more cautious magicians usually give up singing when encountering such situations.

In the process of casting spells, ordinary people can feel some omens before the magic is launched as the chanting progresses, so as to judge whether to continue or stop casting spells. This feeling depends entirely on personal experience.According to Maoqi, the magic sensory organ of human beings is located in the front and upper part of the left and right temples. It is in the shape of an inverted water drop the size of a fingernail and is protected by the skull. It is generally called the shock nucleus.If these two organs are damaged, people's ability to perceive magic will be greatly reduced, which is very fatal to the chanting of complex magic, because large sections of magic are always read incorrectly and missed, sometimes even the caster himself cannot detect .

In Eve's case, she is completely incapable of perceiving magic.If one does not feel pain when being burned, there is a lack of reverence for fire - and so does magical perception, and if one loses the ability to sense magic, there is a lack of vigilance associated with it.

Several groups of dark clouds appeared out of nowhere in the clear sky. As the dark clouds gathered, purple lightning flashed everywhere, and the most densely covered part of the dark clouds gradually condensed into a group of golden light.

Looking at the dark cloud, Marco was secretly startled.He took a step to the side, observing the young girl beside her who was concentrating on singing, his eyes moved from her face to the spellcasting book on her waist, with a thoughtful expression.

A beam of dazzling golden light descended from a high altitude, the ground trembled, and there were crackling sounds around it.A large cloud of white mist rose from the ice surface not far away, and the golden light and dark clouds all disappeared at this moment.

The white mist dissipated, and the two stepped forward to check the situation.

A large oval pit appeared on the ice, about four meters wide at its widest point.

Marco went to the edge of the cave first, looked down with his probe, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Great, I saw water!"

He took out a small box of cans from his pocket, pried it open, and scattered the contents into the lake below the ice.

"That's corn kernels?" Eve said, "Don't you have something to eat?"

"That's what the fish eat, not me," said Marco, tying bait to the hook.

Eve originally wanted to leave immediately after casting the spell, but seeing that the other party seemed to really want to fish, she became interested in watching the fun again.

"What kind of fish are there?" she asked.

"There must be salmon. Shh, don't talk." Marco sat on the bench and threw the hook into the hole.

After a while, something under the water was hooked, but Marco couldn't pull it up after pulling for a long time, so he put his hands on the fishing line and muttered words.

Eve saw that there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his hand, so she took a step back.

After a while, the underwater creatures finally stopped struggling, and Marco pulled up the fishing line easily.

"It really is." Marco held a mottled trout in his hand, a cubit and a half long, fat-looking, with a mouth full of fangs.The fish had just experienced an electric shock and was still in a semi-stunned state.

Marco grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, wiped two handfuls on the fish, and threw it into the empty bucket beside him.He shook the ice on the fishing line, and threw the baited hook back into the water.

"What kind of fishing line is this? Why is it still conductive?" Eve asked him.

"This is removed from the magic guide wire, of course it can conduct electricity." Marco said.

"Magic guide rope? Isn't this thing very expensive, where did you get it?" Eve asked.

"Of course it is..." Marco was just about to answer, but from the corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of a fast-moving figure in the distance, so he began to pack his things calmly. He wrapped the fishing line and put the stool on the wooden table. on the barrel.

"Don't go fishing now?" Eve watched him pack his things, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. She helped him make such a big hole, and he wanted to leave after only catching one fish?

At this time, Eve also saw a figure riding a horse in the distance.The man was wearing a white knight attire, and it was obvious that he was coming in the direction of Eve and Marco.

Eve turned her head, but saw that Marco had disappeared—he had already run away with the barrel and fishing rod at such a fast speed.Eve's heart tightened, and she felt that she had caused trouble, and the identity of this person might not be simple.Thinking about it this way, this person is indeed suspicious everywhere, why didn't I find out just now?

Guaennai couldn't run on the ice like the knight's horse in the distance, so Eve had to chase after him.

"Hey, little white rabbit, let's run in different directions!" Ma Ke saw that she was chasing him, turning his head while running and said, "It's better to catch one than we both get caught."

Eve's eyes widened in disbelief, because Marco's foreign accent was gone.

"Stop!" Because of being deceived by this person many times, Eve is also a little angry now.Due to her short legs, she saw the distance between the two getting wider and wider. While running, she took off the hand crossbow at her waist, pulled the string, and loaded the arrow. The movements were very skillful.

"Hey, don't mess around!" Seeing the hand crossbow raised by the girl behind him, Marco also felt a chill down his spine, and the speed under his feet accelerated a little.

"Stop, or I'm going to attack!" Eve warned him.

Ma Ke didn't respond to her, but ran faster and faster.Eve looked back at the knight who was chasing after him, gritted her teeth, and pulled the trigger in the direction of Marco.

Marco has been paying attention to the movement behind him. He heard the sound of the bow and crossbow mechanism being activated, and he didn't look back. He just hid aside. He was betting that the girl's arrow skills were good and she wouldn't shoot crookedly.

The arrow brushed Marco's left buttock and flew forward, shocking him into a cold sweat.Marco turned his head, and within a short while, the girl in the white rabbit hat behind her had loaded the second arrow and was running to aim at him.Marco was really panicked at this moment, he wanted to avoid the second arrow that was about to be fired, but because of slippery feet, he fell directly on the ice, and even the fish in the barrel rolled out.

Seeing that the people in front had stopped, Eve put away her hand crossbow and ran over at a faster speed.Marco just got up from the ice, and before he had time to pick up the barrel, he saw a fist hitting him. He reached out to block it, but got another kick on his foot, and fell sideways on the ground.

Marco was in pain all over, and lay on the ice with his head up.In one go, Eve stepped over his body and grabbed his collar.Before Marco could utter a word to beg for mercy, he was punched on the left cheek.He didn't feel any pain, but his vision became dark and he passed out.

Eve's heart was pounding violently.On the one hand, it is due to excessive exercise, and on the other hand, it is due to tension.She tied Marco's hands together indiscriminately with a fishing line, waiting for the knight on horseback to come.

Marco woke up after a few seconds of fainting. He only felt that his left cheek was burning hot now. He wanted to reach out to check the injury, but found that both hands were tied up.

"You are too ruthless." Marco wanted to get up from the ice, but was kicked on the shoulder by the other party, and lay down again.

"Don't talk yet." Eve glared at him.

"Ah, I see, you may have misunderstood, I actually..."

"To shut up."

Before them the knight in the white cloak reined in his horse, a man in his late fifties named Laningoff, a tall, stocky man with a bushy black beard under his nose.Laningov's face was not very good. He got off the horse and went straight to Marco, kicked his waist and hips with his shoes, causing him to sit up straight away in pain.

"Didn't I say that the use of magic is forbidden, and you still make such a big commotion here." Laningov kicked him again, "So many big figures can't restrain you? You will really add to the chaos, shame on you Now."

"I'm wronged, I didn't do it, it was the... little white rabbit over there!" Marco screamed, while pushing the responsibility on Eve.

"She did it? Why don't you say I did it? Can you believe this lie?" Laningov kicked him again.

Seeing this man punching and kicking constantly, Eve was also a little scared, but she still said boldly: "Just now I persuaded him not to use magic, but he didn't listen at all. So that's the idea."

"Did you hear that?" Laningoff patted the back of Marco's head with his bear's paw.

"Then I did it." Seeing this situation, Marco readily admitted, "Okay, I did it, quickly untie the rope on my hand."

"It's okay to loosen the ties, the team's punishment regulations——"

"Yes, please drink, Xiaoyi. You will let me go soon." Marco straightened his arms impatiently.

Laningov looked at the messy threads in his hands, fell silent for a moment, then turned to Eve and said, "Miss White Rabbit? Come and help him with it."

Eve sighed, stepped forward, untied him, and said to Laningov, "'Little White Rabbit' is not my name, my name is Eve."

"Oh, that's right." Laningov smiled awkwardly.

Marco was freed.He touched his cheeks, and looked at Eve with an unfriendly expression.

"Are you also a member of the Knights?" Eve asked him.

"What do you think?"

"Why did you lie to me just now?"

"What do you think?" Marco snorted, "You don't need to confirm with me, it's what you think."

Eve glanced at the fishing gear scattered on the side, nodded, and said, "You even cheated me of a golden shell."

"Cheat a little girl's money? Are you any good?" Laningov growled.

"Little girl? She knocked me out with one punch just now, didn't you see?" Marco asked Laningov loudly.

"That's right, he is agile and good at archery, much better than you," Laningov said.

Marco sighed, then shook out a small gold coin from his sleeve listlessly, and handed it to Eve.

Eve didn't accept the small shellfish, but pointed to the frozen trout, and said, "I don't want the money anymore. Give me that fish, and I'll count it as the one I bought."

"That won't work..."

"Okay." Laningov's voice overshadowed Marco's, "What qualifications do you have to bargain? She made the hole..."

"I made the hole." Marco corrected.

"Yes, you made the hole," Laningov's voice overwhelmed his voice again, "but you lied to her, so you should give her the money and the fish!"

"You...you are really unreasonable." Marco smiled reluctantly, put the gold coin back into his sleeve, and said to Eve, "Take the fish, this price is really cheap for you."

"Thank you." Eve happily thanked Laningov, and turned to get the fish.The fish was frozen on the ice, and she kicked the fish, sending it flying.The fish weighed about eight or nine kilograms, and it was the first time Eve had seen such a large trout.Just now, Marco was able to run faster than her while holding the fish, which is really a bit of skill.

Eve pulled out a whistle from her collar, and blew twice, one long and one short, and Guennai, who was in the distance, trotted over upon hearing the sound.She packed the frozen fish into a girdle on the horse's back, and tied it to the saddle with a rope to secure it.

Laningov saw that she had packed up, so he got on his horse and prepared to return.

The two rode side by side on the ice road, not fast.

"You just left? Leave him alone?" Eve asked.

"He's very smart." Laningov said, "The ice hole will open as soon as it opens, let him catch a few more fish and go back."
