Evetrona's old stories

"Do you think it's interesting to pretend to be disabled while nothing is wrong?" Tandorf asked him back.

"But I still don't think...it doesn't look like it." Marco shook his head, "With your skills, can you hurt yourself by catching a wolf?"

"Then come and smell it to see if this hand is drugged."

"Even if you take medicine, you can't—"

"Smell and see." Tandorf stretched out his hand.

Marco put his nose up and smelled it, but he didn't smell anything. "No?" Marco said.

"Sniff carefully."

Marco sniffed it carefully again. At this moment, Tandorf opened his palm, and a pinch of white pepper powder was inhaled by Marco into his nose.

Eve was on the way back when she suddenly heard a burst of loud laughter from a distance.She sighed, feeling a little uncomfortable—she thought it was because of her presence that they didn't have as much fun tonight.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here to look for you." Avanna couldn't help saying when she heard Eve's sigh.Since she followed Eve, she even changed her address to Eve to "You".

"There is nothing wrong with you, and you don't owe me anything." Eve said, "There are no nobles and slaves here, so you and I are ordinary civilians. I am willing to help you and your brother, not to get something from you." What."

"But I really don't know how to thank you," Avanna said.

Eve's small effort is extremely important to her.

"If you can live a good life, then you are grateful." Eve walked side by side with her, and held her hand.Eve has been playing the piano tonight, and her fingers are swollen and hot, in stark contrast to the girl's cold hands.Avanna's hands did not look like girls' hands at all, they were covered with chilblains and calluses.

"Are you good with the slingshot?" Eve asked her.

"Of course, I'm pretty accurate. Do you want to see it?" Avanna said, and took out a slingshot from under her skirt.The slingshot she uses is a local hunting implement that looks a bit like a sling.The old clothes that Awanna was wearing at this time were given to her by Lu Meixi, and they were also dressed as maids with aprons.

Eve really didn't bother to guess where she hid this thing.

"It's too late today, why don't we try again tomorrow?" Eve discussed with her.

"Yeah." Avanna nodded emphatically.

Eve has a preliminary plan for Awanna's future whereabouts - she plans to send her to Baililin and ask her to help resettle her.The Rose Revenge would probably be willing to take her in.But before that, this matter should be discussed with Awanna herself, and her opinion should be sought, lest she mistakenly think that she was resold.

As the scheduled date of action drew nearer, the knights restrained their sloppiness and polished their swords and guns.

[92] Winter Wind (Part [-])

When she was in the Boundless Mountains, Eve experienced teleportation magic once.At that time, she didn't understand anything, and she didn't even understand how far she was sent when she walked into the teleportation circle.

When the sun just rose, the teleportation array was opened on the icy lake in the north, and all the combatants lined up here one by one and passed one after another.

"Follow up! Hurry up! Don't dawdle!" Laningov, the captain of the second combat team, was extremely irritable at this time. When each team member passed through the formation, he wanted to kick each other to ease Anxiety in my heart.The maintenance of the teleportation magic circle depends on Fengluwei, and each ounce of Fengluwei can only last for less than half a minute-this consumption is related to the distance of transmission.At a certain period in the history of Yudi, the energy consumption of teleportation magic was also an important reference for the gold delivery point. In the old society where transportation was not convenient, the cost of using the teleportation array to transport gold was much lower than other methods—— The cost of the teleportation array is mainly reflected in: the consumption of Fengluwei to maintain the magic circle, the precious ether crystals used as the storage medium of gold or Fengluwei, as well as the cost of building the magic circle itself and the tariffs paid according to law—until the big canals and railways This situation has only been partially broken through large-scale construction.

In fact, the right to use the teleportation array is usually monopolized by the state and supervised by the World Alchemy Association.On the one hand, the reason is to consider the possible social impact caused by the abuse of teleportation magic; on the other hand, it is also due to environmental factors—large-scale magic energy transfer will lead to the enrichment of free elements—may lead to the occurrence of a phenomenon similar to the one in the marching channel. Clouds that cannot be dispelled.

It is said that if someone activates teleportation magic without reporting, the time and space guards from the Alchemy Association will be summoned and arrested on the spot.

A total of more than 40 students from the training center participated in the operation, and Eve was also included in it.They were divided into three teams, waiting to be dispatched by the supervising team.

Most people will experience mild or severe symptoms of nausea and dizziness when they pass through the teleportation eyes. This is due to the cognitive confusion caused by the resonance of the magic energy field on the magic sense organs.It is also because of Eve's slow perception of magic energy that she hardly feels any discomfort when passing through the formation.

The other end of the teleportation array was the snow-capped mountains, and more than 300 people just appeared in this snow-covered valley out of thin air.An open space was quickly cleared around, and the teleportation beacon used for positioning was also dug out of the snow by the alchemists of the Alchemy Association for recycling.The knights lifted a large tarp from the snow, revealing supplies that had been buried for months.In less than half an hour, a temporary camp was erected inside the white mountain range, and Hollyn and his subordinates also walked into the white command room tent.

It is about 140 kilometers away from Schulenburg. It is located in the middle of the Mien Mountains. The altitude is slightly higher, and the temperature is nearly minus [-] degrees Celsius, which is very cold.The quartermaster redistributed warm clothes and snow cloaks to everyone, as well as snow gloves, snowboards and alpine poles for snow wading.

Just putting on this equipment, Eve was sweating all over.The equipment of the Knights is also one of the best in Kriging. This whole set of snow suits is light and warm, and the white hooded cloak protects against wind and snow.

Due to physical reasons, the old general Hutton stayed in Schulenburg, with Ross accompanying him.

Eve followed the supervising team, and Olukin became her temporary boss.

The team only stayed in the valley for less than half an hour before setting off.Including these students who were performing the task for the first time, there were more than 200 people in the team, lined up in a long line, and circled along the foot of the mountain.

No one in the team spoke, and the guns, swords, and shields were all hidden under the cloak without making a sound.Eve knew that this place was still far away from the target location, but affected by the current atmosphere, she always felt a little flustered and irritable.

They walked down a leeward slope, and they were in a huge gray-blue shadow. The wind was much weaker, and the buzzing in their ears stopped.Eve wore gray snow goggles, buried her face in the collar of her cloak, hid behind a tall student, and walked with the team.The classmate in front of her is also very interesting. Whenever a gust of wind hits, he will look back, as if to see if the girl behind her has been blown away by the wind.

Women's lung capacity is no better than men's, and marching on such a icy and snowy mountain road is a test of a person's cardiopulmonary function.Even though Eve used the cloak to cover her face, she was still no match for the harsh climate. She only felt that her nasal cavity, trachea, and lungs were so cold that they were so dry that they seemed to be sticking together.

At about [-]:[-] p.m., the team arrived at a new camp.This camp was laid by the advance troops who arrived earlier. When the Knights arrived here, there was still a group of local armed civilians stationed inside.This group of civilians are all tall and strong Modesas, with thick hair and beards, completely covering their appearance.

There are more than 30 stocky plateau horses in the camp, all of which are the private property of the local people, and are now concentrated here to cooperate with the knights for combat use.Eve was assigned a horse in a daze.

In addition, Eve saw the three-meter-tall strong man, who was riding on a giant beast. The combined height of the man and the beast was more than five meters.The giant beast under him was covered in thick armor, and only a pair of pale golden round eyes were exposed on the head. Due to the strong light from the snow-capped mountains, the pupils had shrunk into two capital "I".

Eve saw Marco, Tandorf and other knights sitting on the ground leaning on the body of the giant beast, so she also walked over to join in the fun.

"Come, come and sit." Marco smiled when he saw her, and leaned closer to Tandorf, leaving a place for Eve.

"Why are you sitting here, wouldn't it be good to go to the tent to rest?" Eve asked him.

"You will understand when you sit down." Marco patted the seat beside him.

Since there were a lot of people sitting here, Marco didn't have a lot of space for her, and Eve squeezed into the empty seat, her body on the left was still touching the armored hind legs of the giant beast.

As soon as she sat down, Eve felt the warmth coming from behind her.She took off her gloves and touched the leg armor of the giant beast beside her, it was indeed hot.

"Do you understand now?" Marco said with a smile, "Sitting in a tent is not as comfortable as sitting here."

"What kind of animal is this?" Eve asked, "This big guy's body has always been so warm?"

"It's not that it's warm, it's that it needs warmth." Marco replied, "This is a southern monitor lizard, and it needs the heat of this armor to move normally. If you take off its coat, it will fall asleep immediately."

"Is it so amazing?"

"Isn't it? Things that burn money are amazing."

Even bathed in the residual heat of the armor, it still makes people feel warm.Eve leaned against the leg of the giant beast, feeling a little intoxicated. Following the whispers of the surrounding knights and the slight ups and downs of the lizard's body when it breathed, she fell into a light sleep.

After dark, the purple moon hangs in the clear night sky, reflecting the snow field in white.After resting, eating and rectifying, everyone set off at this moment.From this point until the end of the battle, the knights will no longer have a break.

Riding a plateau horse is very bumpy, but it is still much better than walking.Just as Eve thought, she was assigned the task of "intercepting the fleeing enemy in the area". From the combat map, the defensive area she and the other two students were allocated was far away from the combat area. The scene of the battle cannot be seen.

When the big lizard was on its way, its body twisted and turned, and its tail swept and rustled on the snow, with a wide range of movements.Eve rode a horse and followed the lizard-riding giant all the way. Although she satisfied her curiosity, she also ate a lot of snow.

On a high cliff lies the skeleton of a castle.Eve looked up at the black shadow with teeth and claws in the moonlight, feeling a little more in awe of the old civilization in her heart.

"Sillinsburg." Behind them, two knights chatted softly: "It can be regarded as a relic. I really didn't expect this group of bandits to be able to stand in such a place. If this place is attacked head-on, a An army of thousands of people may not be able to defeat it."

"Supply is a big problem. If you can't get it within three days, it will be difficult."

"That's why the Logos Academy must be out of luck this time, so they asked the Knights for help."

As they got closer to the cliff, the team dispersed according to the battle plan.Eve followed the horse team around the outermost part of the combat range along the mountain road, and was led by an experienced knight. Whenever they reached a predetermined location, a three-member team would be left behind in the horse team, stationed in a nearby hidden place. Keep.

Eve and the other two were arranged to defend behind a stone wall, from which they could see the side of the bandits' den.

Before assigning the task, Rulukin warned them that staying away from the front line does not mean absolute safety. Although the advance team has conducted a large-scale investigation, there may still be unresolved traps buried in the periphery, or scouts and scouts who slipped through the net. assassin.Because of this, all the students, including Eve, were very nervous, even more serious than the members of the Knights who were defending in the inner circle.

Shared with Eve were two male students, one named Hugh Weed, a dark-skinned young man who was holding up a pair of binoculars to observe the wreckage of Fort Sylins in the distance; the other named Kang Why, this is the man who walked in front of her during the march in the morning. He was leaning against the stone wall at this time, holding an arc-shooting rifle in his hand, looking a little anxious.

"Eve, why don't you take a rest first." Kang Shi said, "The action will be after dawn. We are guarding here, so you don't have to worry too much."

"You don't have to take care of me too much." Eve glanced at her watch, it was just past midnight, and the sunrise time was about nine o'clock, so she said: "We take turns to rest, I will rest for three hours first, and then you .”

But even if she was resting, she couldn't really relax and sleep. Eve wore a two-layered hat and rested her head against the stone wall.The all-pervasive wind passed through her back, making a whining sound.Three plateau horses stood behind them, close together motionless, as if in a light sleep.

As time went on, the moon had crossed the center of the sky and began to slide westward.Eve was a little restless, she couldn't even close her eyes to rest now.After sitting for more than two hours, she stood up and drank some water, then walked to the other two to prepare for the changing of the guard.

Huvid gave the binoculars to Eve, and went to rest in the back.Eve sat where Huvid was sitting just now, staring in the direction of the dilapidated castle.

"Kangshi?" After sitting for a while, Eve whispered behind her, and the two were sitting back to back.When Kang Shi and Huweed were sitting together just now, they were still talking in a low voice, but now they have been silent.

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Kang Shi replied.

"Suppose there were bandits fleeing here, would you shoot them if necessary?" Eve asked him.This question has been lingering in her mind since she was assigned the task. It seems that every step of the operation and every new place she goes to, this possible scenario makes her more worried.

"Probably." Kang Shi hesitated for a while before answering, "It would be best if they could be caught, or only one leg broken. But if it is really necessary, they must follow the order, and they cannot be let go. After he finished speaking, he comforted Eve: "Relax, don't think about it. In fact, everyone is the same, and I am also a little nervous. After all, people always like to think about the bad."

"Well, I hope there are no bandits running this way. If there are, then you'd better be more obedient." Eve said.

"Actually, I think it would be better if they could die on the spot."

"So what?" Eve turned her head and asked Kang Shi.

"Now there is no death penalty or firing squad in China, but there is lifelong exile and hard labor. If this group of people were caught, they would be sent to the west coast to build a hidden dam. Think about it, we suffer from the cold here, and it's a bit unbearable in just one day, but over there, those people have to jump into the sea to work in winter. They have been working for decades. Anyway, I can't stand it, so it's better to have a good time on the spot."

"That's really... pretty miserable."

"I feel that abolition of the death penalty has nothing to do with benevolence, let alone humanitarianism. It's more like a business."

I don't know if it's because of the education preferences of the Knight Academy, but Eve always feels that the students in the academy seem to have more or less complaints about the country's system, but on the other hand, these students happen to be Klickin's future Executor.Maybe one day they will actually be able to change what they see as injustices and systemic problems—if they don't change their minds.

The two talked for a while, and the tension in Eve's heart eased a lot.Huvid fell asleep in the back.Neither Eve nor Kang Shi was sleepy, so they sat like this until dawn, without asking him to get up to change the guard.

The moon sank below the horizon, leaving only a pale yellow star in the deep blue sky, the east was fading, and the wind howled in the valley.Unknowingly, a large swirl of dark clouds gathered above the castle, and the rumbling thunder sounded like ten thousand tons of boulders rubbing against the ground.The trees and the snowflakes on the ground trembled, rolling down the slope little by little, leaving long and thin traces.Everyone cheered up, looking at the castle in the distance, the battle was about to start.

[93] Winter Wind (Part [-])

Golden lightning appeared densely over the castle, covering the entire cliff.The castle's defensive barrier blocked the first wave of attacks, and the lightning that canceled out the invisible barrier outlined an inverted crescent moon.

Magic Wars got off to a bad start.Since then, even for bandit suppression operations like this, it is also impossible to accurately estimate the true scale of the battle.The magic and alchemy formulas invented for the purpose of destruction and attack have simple rules and lack of supervision, so it is difficult for the state or official organization to form an effective monopoly form.

The three of Eve pulled the frightened horses away from the stone wall.Under the continuous attack, the ground trembled slightly, and the small avalanche at the top of the mountain in the distance raised misty snow and dust.

The black vortex formed by the dark clouds grew bigger and bigger, covering almost the entire combat area.The golden lightning was like a waterfall falling from the sky, and countless electric lights gathered into a majestic beam, like the punishment of heaven when the doomsday came, firmly pressing the ruins of Xilinsburg under the sharp claws.

The violent and continuous bombardment finally disintegrated the cliff, and as the rock mass outside the mountain crashed down, the defensive barrier finally lost its effectiveness, exposing the evil nest under its wings to people.

The dark clouds are dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there are still sporadic lightning falling on the surface, splitting trees and rocks from time to time, leaving burning marks on the pale ground like a group of snakes passing through.

Blood-red magic fireworks bloomed in the sky, and low-pitched horns blew over the castle.

Observing from Eve's position, the members of the Knights are attacking the bandit's den—but that's all. Even if he stretched his neck to wait and see, he couldn't see what was going on on the cliff.

There is no doubt that the Shengfeng Mountain Knights will win, the question is how much they will lose.

There was a long and sharp whistle in the distance, followed by a second whistle nearer.Eve also took out the whistle from her collar, and when the nearby team members blew the whistle for the third time, she pressed the whistle to her lips, counted silently for three seconds, and then blew it vigorously.The peripheral team is delivering a message-the escapee has been found.

Eve raised the binoculars and observed the towers of Xilinsburg.At this time, several people were jumping down the cliff with hang glider on their backs.Lightning and flames from arc guns formed behind them, hitting all three of them instantly.The charred corpse dragged its broken wings and spun straight down, crashing into the cliff, like smashed garbage, scattered everywhere.

As the knights continued to advance, the flames of war gradually shifted from the interior of the castle to the cliffs in the outer ring.The situation on the bandit side is very grim. Facing the excellent equipment of the Knights, they scrambled to escape to the point of no return—someone jumped from the top of the cliff and hit the protruding rock below. Someone is stepping on the ledge of the cliff side, hiding against the cliff, silently praying that he will not be found, but never thinking about how to climb back to the cliff if no one finds out. Top; some people wanted to fight desperately, but when they really faced the knight's shield and long sword, they lost their courage in an instant, and finally their legs gave up and they fell to the ground and shouted for mercy.

"Someone is coming this way." Eve pointed to a black spot in the sky and said to the two partners.

Consh and Huweed nodded, each mounted their horses, stared at where the black dot might land, and opened the trigger safety of their arc rifles.

A moment later, when the two were chasing towards the target, Eve found a second target.She put away the binoculars and saw that her companions had not returned, so she also rode on the horse, preparing to deal with this person alone.

This person glides very fast, and it only takes a moment to fly near Eve.The range of the outer defensive circle is relatively conservative. If the wind direction is considered, the farthest you can glide from the top of the Xilinsburg ruins is no more than that.Eve rode his horse and chased after the target, and the man obviously noticed Eve. He changed direction twice, trying to buy himself more time to escape, but in the end he failed .

When it was still a few meters above the ground, the fugitive jumped off the hang glider.He rolled twice on the ground, quickly got up and ran down the mountain.His idea is very clear - take the road that is difficult for horses, and leave the difficulties to others.

An arrow grazed past his feet and shot into the snow ahead.Seeing this, the fugitive immediately turned around and went around the rock wall on the other side of the mountain to avoid the flying arrows coming from behind.

Eve didn't hesitate too much, she jumped off the horse, and ran in the snow step by step, chasing after the fugitive.

The target is a thin man, about 30 to [-] years old.After seeing the appearance of the pursuer behind him, this person changed his strategy and ran towards the snow-deep position in the ravine.Eve was anxious, and the two arrows she shot missed the target. When she shot again, the target had already run out of range.She was a little short and couldn't pass through the snow-covered gullies as quickly as the man in front, but she didn't give up because of this. She sent the help signal flares high into the sky while walking through the waist-deep snow gullies.

After Kang Shi brought down another fugitive, he rushed towards the direction where the flare was launched, while Huweed stayed behind to guard the prisoners.

At this time, the fleeing bandits were a little exhausted and began to choose a good way to go.Among the rolling white mountains, it is not easy to find a place to hide.While running in the valley, the man looked around, but accidentally stepped on a rolling stone and fell to the ground.He took advantage of the trend and rolled forward twice in the snow, then got up immediately and continued to run.

Eve threw the crossbow and long sword on the chase, followed by the sword and cloak.As the weight on her body lightened, she also increased her speed a little, gradually getting closer to the opponent.

A head protruded from the side ridge.Kang Shi squatted there holding up his rifle, and had locked onto the fugitive in front of Eve.

Consh aimed at the side chest, which is the largest area, easy to hit, and can exert the greatest stopping effect.

The fugitive was very vigilant, and he quickly spotted the snipers on the mountain, so he started running in irregular zigzag lines, trying to reduce the chance of being shot.After Eve noticed his abnormal behavior, she saw the figure on the opposite hill who was aiming.

Eve gritted her teeth and ran a little faster, almost falling down a few times.She took off her gloves and undid the buttons on the sleeves, revealing a small instrument fastened to the outside of her shirt.She was getting closer and closer to the goal, and her footsteps began to become a little erratic, her physical strength could no longer support such strenuous exercise.

Kang Shi held his breath and tried to keep his movements as steady as possible.The target's arms are constantly swinging and running erratically, and Kangshi needs to find an opportunity—when his eyes confirm it, when his brain tells him "ready", he will pull the trigger to complete the hunt.

There is only one chance. The electrofluid rifle has high accuracy and a long range, but it takes a long time to prepare and cannot shoot continuously.Taking the distance between each step of the target's right leg as the standard, Kang Shi silently counted seven times in his heart, and then pulled the trigger.

The target fell forward, but not before he could pull the trigger.Kang Shi stood up suspiciously, frowned and took off his hat.He clearly missed the target—the plasma exploded in the snow around the fugitive, still steaming.

The fugitive's right foot seemed to be entangled by something, and a silver rope hung around his ankle, and the owner of the rope was the unknown female apprentice knight.

The sound of the winch turning echoed in the valley, and the fugitive wailed while being dragged along the snow by her.

Kang Shi picked up his rifle and rushed after him.

Eve sat on the snow, gasping for breath, not looking at the situation of the fugitives around her.Now she only feels a severe chest pain and dizziness, which may be a symptom of hypoxia.

Kang Shi first walked up to the fugitive and tied his hands behind his back with a pair of shackles.
