What are you talking about? The cave where your mother keeps books has been occupied by a few black bears and turned into a bear den. Who would hide books in a cave? Claude really can't figure out what the girl mage's mother is thinking, and she actually puts the books Hidden in a stone cave, and then she never returned. After being officially promoted to a first-level natural mage, poor Sheila did not have a magic book and could not choose a basic spell engraving. She wanted to go to the stone cave where her mother kept books, but found that the stone cave It was occupied by a few black bears and turned into a bear den. She couldn't defeat those black bears.
Others said they were cheating on their father, but they were cheating on their daughter. No wonder Claude always felt something was wrong when he first saw the dilapidated shack where the young mage lived. After returning, he realized that it was because he didn't see anything that looked like a book. As a mage, it is simply unimaginable without books. After all, books are the carrier of knowledge, and mages are knowledge and explorers. They will record any insights and discoveries they make on the road to exploring the mysteries of magic, and any books they think should be worthwhile.
"My mother set up a magic talisman array in the cave to use the dryness and coolness of the cave to protect those precious classics. We originally lived outside the cave, but it was far away from the water source and life was inconvenient. Considering that it was dangerous for me to play there when I was a child, my mother took me to the Witch Wood to build that wooden house," the young mage explained.
Big sister, yours is not a wooden house, it is just a shabby shack. I am completely impressed by your mother's aesthetic sense in architecture. If your shabby shack is a wooden house, then is the double-story wooden building you live in now the palace mansion your mother calls it? But your mother is a bit like a mother, and she can consider where you are playing when you are young. It's a bit dangerous, it's really not easy
Claude complained in his mind while pretending to listen carefully.
"After my mother left, I was very happy at first. No one forced me to practice meditation, read and write. I took Hei Feng everywhere with me every day. Hei Feng had just grown up at that time." The young mage continued: "After that It took more than a month for me to feel lonely, and I really wanted my mother to come back. Then I practiced meditation desperately, and half a year later I was officially promoted to a first-level natural mage. It was only then that I realized that I had no basic spells to imprint, so I prepared Go look for it in the cave where the books are stored. I remember my mother stored several magic scrolls there."
You herded the sheep as soon as your mother left, and you had a great time. Claude continued to complain.
"Unexpectedly, I haven't been there for half a year, and two big black bears came to the cave at some point. They regarded the cave as their own den. I couldn't get in at all, and one big black bear chased me for a long time. I managed to escape with great difficulty." The young mage's eyes were red as she said this, looking very aggrieved. A bad guest came to her home, and she turned against the guest. As a result, she, the master, could not return.
"So I went back to the Witch Woods, imprinted the Beast Mimicry Technique, put on the old bear skin and prepared to fight the two big black bears. But when we faced each other, I discovered that the old bear skin had been worn for too long and had changed. After becoming a black bear, I couldn't defeat those two bears at all. If Black Wind hadn't been there to help them help me, I would have almost been torn apart by those two black bears."
The young mage looked frightened. It seemed that the encounter left a deep impression on her and she felt unbearable to look back. Thinking about it, she was not even fifteen years old at that time, so it was considered very courageous to put on an old bear skin and fight two ferocious black bears in hand-to-hand combat.
Claude was considerate and naturally held the young mage who was immersed in memories in his arms, patted her back and comforted her: "It's okay, don't be sad, I will help you find the cave." Grab it back. Even without this new bear skin, I can still kill those black bears occupying the cave. I will go with you when the rain subsides, and I will do what I say."
The young mage didn't realize that she was being taken advantage of by Claude. This time she snuggled into Claude's arms and felt so warm, with a special sense of dependence and security. This was something her mother had never felt in the more than four years since her mother left. Tears filled her eyes and she wanted to cry. She had lived alone with the big black wolf in the mountains and forests for four years. She had suffered so many grievances. You must know that she She is not yet nineteen years old, she is just a very simple girl
But just when Claude's hand changed from patting to caressing on the back and gradually moved down and finally stopped at the round buttocks, the young mage finally came to her senses. She blushed and pushed on Claude's buttocks. Virtue, said angrily: "You, you rogue"
"Sorry, it's my fault, Sheila. It's mainly because you are so beautiful. I couldn't help myself and couldn't control my hands." Claude quickly apologized sincerely.
The young mage stopped moving. Claude felt happy and was about to take another step forward. Unexpectedly, the collar on his back was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand and he was lifted into the air.
"Uh, Sheila, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, please put me down, okay?" Only then did Claude realize that it was not a good idea to teach the young mage the magic hand, and now he was easily controlled by her. .
The young mage ignored Claude's pleas and carried him to the door. The other magic hand opened the door, and then Claude was thrown to the corridor in front of the door.
Claude patted his butt and climbed up. Unexpectedly, he turned around and saw Michael standing at the door of the guest room at the other end of the corridor, staring at him in shock.
"Are you okay, sir?" Mike asked with concern.
"It's okay, go about your business, leave me alone, being kicked out is no big deal." Claude could only pretend that nothing happened, turned around and entered his room next door.
At the end of March, the continuous heavy rain finally turned into a light drizzle, which meant that the rainy season was about to pass and sunny days would soon arrive.
The young mage who had been staying in her room could no longer bear her temper and insisted on going to the field to test the dozen or so magical talisman structures that she suspected of being fireballs. Claude had no choice but to obey her wishes, bring a pack horse, put the new bear skin with the magic runes drawn on it in a bag and put it on the horse's back, then put on his backpack, Bring the oil-soaked match rope and musket, and accompany the young mage and the big black wolf to the uphill path behind Squirrel Village.
Although it was drizzling and stopped now and then, it was still not very convenient for pedestrians wearing ponchos walking on the mountain roads. The young mage is now wearing the military uniform of the Overas Kingdom, but without a military cap, and her long hair is casually tied into a ponytail hanging behind her back. She threw the hood of her poncho behind her and put on a rain-proof hat. She jumped up and down on the mountain road, her ponytail swaying behind her. It could be seen that she was in a good mood.
The big black wolf was also having fun in the mountains. It was very depressed after being kept in the room for more than two weeks without coming out. Although he eats well and sleeps soundly, the young mage always uses it as a test subject after learning the magic hand and precise control. She often catches it and swings it in the air, and does not allow it to howl. And I gave it four baths in just ten days, which made the big black wolf die of pain. Now he can have fun in the mountains, and he feels as free as a dream.
After struggling on the mountain road for nearly three hours, the two of them and the wolf finally arrived at the Witch Wood. Although the rain has subsided and is no longer an obstacle to the journey, the mud and puddles on the mountain trails still exist. Especially for the young mage, staying in the room for nearly twenty days was like taking a break. Even an ordinary wild flower in the mountains could arouse her great interest, so that her time was delayed a lot. She had already picked a bunch of wild flowers in her hands, and her clothes, pants and boots were stained with mud and water.
The dilapidated shack is still there, but as Claude expected, it has become a paradise for insects and ants. The dirty blood that the killed black bear shed and seeped into the ground attracted many big-headed mountain ants and octopus bugs, and occasionally a few scorpions, centipedes and the like quickly crawled by. In addition, the smell of blood may have attracted other carnivores. The inside of the shack was turned into a mess, leaving many messy paw prints on the ground and wooden walls.
Seeing that the big eyes of the young mage were filled with water and about to flow out, Claude walked over and gently held her shoulders and comforted her: "It's okay, I will help you stay here after the weather clears." Build a beautiful log cabin. If the old one is gone, the new one will not come in. I promise to help you build it beautifully so that you will be satisfied with it at first sight.”
Well, with Claude's constant efforts and testing, the young mage has become somewhat accustomed to his behavior of touching the body. Of course, Claude is still not allowed to touch several restricted areas of the body. Even if he uses carelessness as an excuse, Claude will still be severely punished by the young mage.
The young mage rested her head on Claude's shoulder, her voice choked with sobs: "This is the home my mother built with her own hands."
Although it was a bit sad, the emotion went away quickly. After a while, the young mage pulled Claude to try out the fireball technique. Claude could only persuade her to stop him, saying that he wanted to go to the cave where your mother kept the books first, maybe There is a scroll of fireball hidden inside. If the magic array structure of the fireball technique is tested now, if the spell backfires and injures oneself, then the date of recovering the cave will be postponed to an unknown date.
Finally, the young mage still had some sense. Claude, who thought about it carefully, was right. She originally wanted to try the fireball technique first and then drive away the few black bears that occupied the cave. After all, putting on a bear skin and using the beast mimicry technique to transform into a big black bear and fight hand-to-hand was a bit embarrassing for a delicate and beautiful girl like her. , using the fireball technique to blast away those black bears would be easier, and it would also release the bad breath in her heart. It's just that she didn't consider the problem that spell backlash and the wrong magic array structure would explode in her hands and injure herself.
"It's okay, I have a musket in hand, a few black bears are no big deal." Claude patted the musket behind his back and said confidently. Even if he didn't have a musket, he didn't have to worry about a few black bears. He brought the musket mainly to demonstrate the power of the musket to the young mage, lest she think she had mastered a few magics and show off in front of the musket.
The young mage looked at the gloomy and drizzly sky with wide eyes, and then looked at the musket behind Claude.
Claude understood what she meant, took the musket from behind and laughed: "It's okay, as long as it's not raining or heavy rain, the musket can be used normally in this weather. First, the match rope has been soaked in kerosene and can be ignited when wet. It will not go out. The other is that there is a plate cover on the medicine box, which can block the leakage of rainwater. When we pull the trigger, the match rope clamping handle will send the burning match rope into the medicine box, and then the plate cover will open automatically. , the match rope ignites the primer inside, and the musket can fire the projectiles. The only thing you need to pay attention to is not to let rainwater enter the medicine box when charging. "
In fact, the process of recovering the cave was lackluster, except for climbing the mountain road for more than an hour. The cave the young mage was talking about is halfway up the mountain behind the witch forest. Along the steep mountain road is a large hillside. At the bottom of the hillside is a large pine forest. After passing the pine forest, you can see the stone wall. There is a cave entrance, and there is a big black bear lying outside the cave entrance.
The big black wolf's roar made the big black bear notice the arrival of two people, a wolf and a pack horse from a distance. In order to prevent the delicious food delivered to the door from slipping away, the big black bear roared ferociously and rushed over, and then two more big black bears emerged from the cave. Claude found it strange that, according to common sense, the mother bear should raise the cubs of black bears, and when the cubs grow up, they will be driven away by the mother bear. And here, somehow, these three bears continue to live together.
But now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. Claude perfectly demonstrated the power of the musket in front of the young mage. He fired easily and hit the head of the charging black bear, killing him with one shot. As for the two black bears that went crazy afterwards, Claude only used his magic hand and precise control to transform the invisible magic hand into two sharp spears, and pierced the hearts of the two black bears.
The young mage next to her hurriedly put the black bear skin on her body, turning herself into a real big black bear. It was only when she was about to have a physical fight with the black bear that she realized that she had no opponent. Claude proudly stood on the dead black bear with a musket on his back, assuming a victor's posture. It was a pity that cameras were not invented in this era.
The cave that has become a bear cave has a fishy smell. This should have a lot to do with the black bears' lack of hygiene. The young mage cast a bead of light, then used her magic hand to grab some branches and clean the cave. The black bear excrement and moldy animal bones were removed, which finally made people feel better.
"There are no books here." Claude was disappointed. He thought that the books stored here by Sheila's mother had been destroyed by the black bear.
"It's not here, it's outside the cave." The young mage walked to the flat stone wall in the innermost part of the cave, bent down and searched on the ground for a while, and then input her magic power.
Claude discovered that a six-pointed star pattern flashing with blue light appeared on the flat stone wall.
The young mage breathed a sigh of relief: "I have been worried that this magic talisman array will be damaged by the black bear, and I will have to dig in. Fortunately, it has only been four years, and this magic talisman array is not broken, and can still be used by inputting magic power."
Pushing the six-pointed star pattern, the stone wall shrank into the side rock wall. What appeared in front of Claude was a room that looked like a reading room. Against the walls on both sides are a row of huge black bookcases. There are many large animal skin books on the bookcases.
