Chapter fifty-four silver sinking wood
When the female mage fell asleep, Shaoke leaned slightly to make himself feel more comfortable. After carefully looking at the sleeping female mage, he calmed down and sank into the meditation space.
It was dawn, and the female mage was fine. She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes in the quilt, tidied up her messy hair before she could formally start. Shaoke was awakened by the other party's actions and slowly withdrew from the meditation, "How is it? Do you feel better?"
The female mage looked at Shaoke who was still in his position last night, and a faint blush appeared on her face and said, "Well! It's much better. Thank you, Master Xueye, I'll prepare breakfast for you."
Shaoke rubbed his numb legs, "Don't go first, you can wash it first, otherwise you will affect the image of the mage."
"Who can see if I cover my cloak?" As he said that, the female mage clenched her hands and pounded Shaoke's leg, but she still took out her washing utensils and dressed up in the car.
After the female mage finished washing, Shaoke felt that his legs were not so numb. He also tidied up a little, lifted the curtains to allow air in the carriage, and then went down with the female mage to walk around his small camp for a while, and moved his somewhat stiff body.
The businessmen's camp beside him was already lively, and waves of food scent came from there. The coachmen quickly prepared food under the stimulation of each other. Unfortunately, they could only cook some oatmeal for breakfast, which was not rich, but the mages were already used to it, so they would not complain.
After having breakfast outside the car, the mages' convoy followed the caravan next to the side and headed towards the imperial capital. The female mage began to recite and remember the spells that had just been copied so that they could be familiar with them as soon as possible. After Shaoke checked the semi-finished ‘spell book’ soaked in the magic liquid, he began to prepare the required additional materials.
The female mage looked at Shaoke busy and hesitated for a moment, "Master Xueye, your production method is too cumbersome, and the 'spell book' you made will not only consume more materials when you undergo that special tempering in the future, but the final effect will not be so good. Otherwise, you can get a new production method in the imperial capital to make it." After saying that, the female mage looked at the other party nervously, perhaps because she was afraid of causing Shaoke's emotions.
Shaoke stopped what was in his hand and looked at the female mage and said seriously: "Francis, I must make this 'spell book' before arriving at the imperial capital. It is of great use to me. I don't think I can delay it for too long." After that, he lowered his head and started to work hard.
The female mage pouted and turned her body to leave more space for the other party.
Shaoke carefully laid the silver sinking wood boards taken out of another carriage in the morning with gem powder. Although the carriage was bumpy, it was not enough to let the gem powder leave where they should be. This silver sinking wood was purchased by him for two general gold coins. This wood is a commonly used carrier for ordinary mages to make "spell books". The fusion array carved with this wooden board can maximize the limitations of paper in containing mental power and magic.
Ke took out another pack of snow stone powder and slowly dispersed it. After changing dozens of magic powders, Shaoke often let out a sigh. At this time, the various powders scattered on the silver sinking wooden board had been laid a thick layer. At this time, the powders were firmly stuck to the wooden board, and no matter how they turned, they would not fall on it, even a piece of it would fall on it.
After stuffing the wooden board into a small grid on the roof, Shaoke rubbed his slightly sore hands, looked at the female mage who was concentrating on learning spells, opened his mouth, and finally started preparing his materials again. When he became busy again, the female mage who remembered the spell knowledge raised his head and glanced at him, and smiled.
Shaoke carefully thought about the materials he prepared and found that except for carving magic circles on the wooden board and placing ointments to activate magic circles, the rest were ready; although he wanted to carve magic circles on the wooden board now, the magic powder was not completely integrated into the wooden board, and he could not tolerate any fluctuations during carving, so he decided to carve them until the evening. What he needs to do now is to remember the magic knowledge again.
During the lunch break, the mages in the car were busy with their own affairs. At this time, a team of cavalry caught up on the road behind. A coachman behind quickly ran to the mages' carriage and said, "Master...Master, no, the robbers chased after him."
Shaoke quickly picked up the staff beside him and stood in the position of the coachman to look back. The female mage also stood side by side with him. Shaoke signaled the female mage to return to the car, but the female mage pretended not to see it, quickly chanted a spell, blessed Shaoke with a spell "protective arrow" spell, and then added one to herself. When she wanted to bless other spells, the cavalry running towards them had already arrived next to their carriage.
The driver squatted in the driving position, holding the reins nervously, ready to drive and escape at any time. Shaoke recognized the cavalry at a glance. As the driver behind said, these cavalry were still dressed as robbers he encountered a few days ago, but some cavalry looked a little embarrassed, with some white cloth wrapped around them, and seemed to be injured.
When the cavalry team passed by Shaoko and their convoy, Shaoko suddenly felt dozens of people staring at them tightly, but he couldn't find the other party's position. The blood on the female mage's face suddenly faded and turned white. Shaoko stood there calmly, watching the cavalry go away quickly next to them. The rest of the caravans on the road were carefully stopped in place to avoid the rumored cavalry team taking them off.
After seeing the group of cavalry passing by, the female mage let out a long sigh and said, "I just felt that many people in that team were staring at me, but I didn't know that they were looking at me there, and this feeling just disappeared... no, it's coming again."
Before the female mage finished speaking, Shaoke saw the passing cavalry team draw an arc and returned again. After dozens of breaths, the cavalry team stopped in front of Shaoke and the others.
The female mage grabbed Shaoke's arm nervously. Although she was wearing thick clothes, Shaoke still felt the flesh on her arm being so painful. Shaoke kept polite: "You are a mage! Don't forget, you are a noble and powerful mage, how can you be timid here? I haven't seen any big scenes before? I was not so nervous when I stood in a building with thousands of people watching in my previous life! I looked up at them."
Shaoke endured the inexplicable pressure brought by the cavalry who stopped in front of them, 'Is this the legendary murderous aura?' This idea only slipped in his mind for a moment, and was quickly left behind by him, "What's wrong with you? We are the wizards of the Emperor** division, and we are going to report back to the military division now."
A cavalry suddenly came out of the team. The cavalry was a middle-aged Chinese character. He did not wear a helmet on his bare head, a leather half-body armor, and a big knife in his hand. He carefully looked at the two mages and said, "Two mages, we already know that you are mages of the military headquarters. Don't worry, we have no malice. We just hope to know the name of the female mage in front of us. I wonder if the two mages will meet our request." The middle-aged bald man said as he turned his gaze to the female mage beside him, waiting for the female mage's decision with a calm expression on his face.
The female mage turned her head and looked at Shaoke who was frowning and thinking, and sighed softly. She didn't know what to do now. Seeing that the two mages were hesitant, the middle-aged bald man waved his hand and asked the cavalry to retreat. The group of cavalry were neatly steering their horses back ten steps back before stopping.
The big man whispered, "This female mage, if you guessed correctly, I believe you have a mother working in the mage trade union in the imperial capital. What do you think? I know your mother, and she learned about you from the military headquarters, so this time she entrusted me to find you on the road and take you back." The middle-aged big man paused for a moment and continued, "If you don't believe it, I have your mother's letter here, I hope you can check the authenticity."
The female mage looked at the male mage beside her, shook her head and said, "No, even if you have any tokens, I will not go back with you. I can reach the imperial capital by myself."
The middle-aged man gently took out a black package from the leather bag on the horse's back and threw it over: "Female mage, this is what your mother entrusts me to send, and it is her letter inside. The respected mage did not ask you to follow us back. She just wanted to know whether you are safe." After that, he led the remaining cavalry to run towards the imperial capital quickly.
The female mage reached out to take the black package thrown by the other party, turned her head and looked at Shaoke and said, "Master Xueye, I...I want to calm myself first."
Shaoke nodded tactfully, "Francis, your mother really works in the wizard union of the imperial capital? They won't be lying to you, right!"
The female mage shook her head and said, "No, these soldiers did not lie to me. In the past, my mother often sent the soldiers to the border to deliver some things, so I believe him, let alone I can feel my mother's mark on this package." As she said that, she stroked the package, and it seemed that she was a little anxious to watch the things inside.
Shaoko turned his head and said to the driver who was hiding under the driving position: "Stand up and relax. The cavalry have left. Follow the caravan in front and don't fall down." After that, he sat next to the driver, put his cloak together and quietly waited for the driver to start again.
The female mage looked at the thin back sitting in the driving position, opened her mouth, and finally entered the car and looked at the package given to him by the big man.
――――――― Please collect it. If you feel it is OK, please collect it! Thank you Xiaoqi!
