Chapter 373 372. Sober pendant
In this magical grocery store, many of the items are home decorations. The owner of the store is an old man over fifty years old. He is sitting behind the counter at the entrance of the store, holding a parchment book in his hand, and is carrying Looking at the decorations on the pages with a pair of reading glasses, he kept rubbing his hands on the pages, with a nostalgic look on his face, which made people know that he was a person with a story.
Suldak stood in front of the magic antelope heads and looked at them for a long time. After some processing, these magic antelope heads looked lifelike, and the horns on each magic antelope head were also well preserved. These magic antelope heads were made They are usually used to decorate the walls of the living room. There are also some magic wall lamps in the grocery store, and some magic carpets that can be hung on the wall and release a warm atmosphere.
The other row of shelves is full of various magic scrolls, but the shelf that originally stored the magic herbs is empty, and there are nameplates of various magic herbs on the shelf, not even a hemostatic grass, Suldak looked away , and set his sights on the heads of these magic antelopes again.
"Have you taken a fancy to these magic antelope heads?" The shop owner was already standing beside Suldak, looking at the magic antelope heads on the wall with him, and then said: "The magic cores in the skulls of these magic antelopes were People took it out, but the horns of the magic antelope are still in good condition, and the whole head of the magic antelope has been treated with embalming, so buying it back and hanging it on the wall is definitely a very good decoration.”
Suldak was thinking in his mind how many magic antelope heads would be enough, and then the shop owner continued to introduce: "Of course, in terms of practicality, they are far inferior to these magic wall lamps. Although the magic wall lamps are slightly expensive It’s a bit expensive, but they’re all made of magic metal and definitely worth the money.”
Suldak looked at these magic wall lamps, thinking that if she bought one and gave it to old Sheila, she would definitely not be willing to use it. You must know that before that, the villagers in Wall Village were even reluctant to use oil lamps at night.
"You can also take a look at these magic carpets. This kind of magic carpet can emit weak heat outwards by relying on the magic lines in the decoration. This effect can last for the whole winter. After you buy it, you can hang it on the opposite side of the fireplace Even if the fire in the fireplace is extinguished, the room will not become too cold." The owner of the store thought that in such a cold winter, maybe Suldak would need this.
Suldak pointed to the magic antelope heads on the wall, and asked the owner, "How much are these magic antelope heads?"
"Seventy silver coins... Well, the two horns on the head of this magic antelope are still worth a little money." The owner of the shop immediately announced the price.
Suldak was noncommittal, passed those magic wall lamps, and asked, "Where are those magic carpets?"
The shop owner's eyes lit up, and he felt that he might have met a big family, and said with a happy face: "Forty-five silver coins, if you want to continue to use it next winter, you can bring this magic carpet to me before autumn." , I will be in charge of finding a magic tailor to embroider on the magic carpet again, you only need to pay half of the fee, and you can continue to have this magic carpet to keep you warm throughout the winter."
Suldak thought that perhaps old Sheila needed a blanket like this. In the coldest winter, he could sit by the fire and put a blanket over his legs. Even if he didn't cover his body, he could hang it on the wall Fend off some cold.
Suldak asked the shopkeeper again: "Do you have a magic scroll that can keep people awake?"
"Of course, I have the 'spiritual focus' magic scroll. As long as I use this scroll, people can learn more with less effort. I would like to ask you, are you a magician?" The shop owner said to Suldak with a smile , Then he seemed to think of something, and asked the next sentence.
"No, I am a knight." Surdak replied.
"Are you planning to use this 'spiritual focus' magic scroll yourself?" The shop owner frowned and asked.
"That's right." Suldak nodded and admitted.
At this time, the owner of the store showed a puzzled face, and said to Suldak: "This is probably not enough. This kind of magic scroll needs to be guided by a magician with a spell. If you are not a magician, you can't activate this magic scroll at all."
"Okay, forget it." Suldak didn't expect such a thing to happen. He didn't have much contact with advanced magic scrolls before, and he still had a dozen of them in his magic pocket, but he didn't know about those scrolls. Name and purpose, now it seems that most of those scrolls cannot be used by themselves.
Seeing that Suldak gave up without hesitation, the shop owner thought about it and asked, "Do you want to buy a magic item that can keep you awake all the time in battle or work?"
Suldak nodded and replied, "Well, almost."
Hearing what Suldak said, the owner of the store walked slowly to the front of the counter, found a small wooden box from a wooden box that seemed to be covered with magical patterns behind the counter, and stretched out his hand to take the wooden box. The box was pushed in front of Suldak, and the lid was opened. Inside lay a string of necklaces. This necklace was made of gold one day. At first glance, it seemed to be very valuable. There was also a necklace Gold pendant, the style of the pendant is a snow mountain.
Suldak held the necklace in his hand, and it was heavy. A cool breath came from the necklace, which really lifted his spirits.
The owner of the store said to Suldak: "This magic necklace is called a sobriety pendant. Although its price is a bit more expensive, it is a magic item. Its function is to keep the wearer awake all the time. Many magic apprentices will buy it for themselves. Last one, this thing can help them stay awake when doing experiments all night, and it has a certain resistance to some hypnotism and illusion. Because it can keep you awake all the time, when you are about to fall asleep , you must remember to put the necklace in the jewelry box, otherwise it may be difficult for you to fall asleep. In addition, it can keep you awake all the time, but it does not mean that you can not rest after you have it, you still need to maintain adequate sleep Yes, the consequence of excessive use of lucid pendants is easy insanity."
"How much is this necklace?" Suldak asked after pondering for a moment.
"Ten magic crystals.".
Although he knew that this magic necklace must be worth a lot, Suldak still took a deep breath when the shop owner quoted the price. It was not ordinary expensive.
His first reaction was that the necklace was too expensive, so he didn't want to buy it, but then he thought of how he would look after being hypnotized by the black magician of the Black Magic Priory with the 'cloud of sleep', hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth, Said to the shop owner: "Five magic antelope heads, two magic carpets, and a sober pendant, a total of ten magic crystals..."
The owner of the grocery store was a little embarrassed, he thought for a long time, and finally said like cutting flesh: "You buy a sober pendant, and I will give you a magic antelope head, a magic wall lamp and a magic carpet. After all, magic There is no need to hang too many decorations like antelope heads at home..."
A quarter of an hour later, Suldak walked out of the magic general store with a smile on his face. In the magic pocket was a jewelry box with a sober pendant and two magic carpets. Because he bought too many gifts in the market, the magic pocket was gone. With enough space, the five oryx heads could only fit into the bag and hang on the hook next to the saddle.
…
On the morning of the weekend, Suldak and Pablo's assistant teacher asked for leave, and left the Knight Academy early on horseback, and left the city of Hailansa with the first batch of teams out of the city.
He was wearing a salamander leather armor, and in order to avoid attracting attention, he put on a gray cloak with a hood to wrap himself tightly. The snow on the road outside the city has not been cleared, and there are only some clutter on the road The footprints and ruts stretched all the way into the mountain, but the farther they were from Hailansa City, the fewer and fewer these footprints and ruts became.
The snow in the city of Hailansa is not too heavy, but the snow in many places in the mountains is waist-deep. Many of the mountain roads leading to Wall Village are ancient mountain roads, and these ancient roads are in the lowest-lying places. , some snow hills are even as high as a person, and the entire mountain road has been blocked by heavy snow, and it is not easy to walk even on horseback.
Suldak regretted that he didn't listen to Karl's advice before leaving. Karl asked him to wait a few more days before returning to Wall Village. In the mountains, I realized that I had estimated the situation of the mountain road too optimistically. After walking into the mountain for half a day, the mountain road was completely covered by snow.
Suldak hesitated, wanting to return the same way, just like Karl suggested, wait a week to leave.
But I thought about it again, since I have already walked so far, even if it is difficult to walk, after all, it is a day's journey on horseback, how far can I go...
He thought so, and he did so.
Headlong into the snow-capped mountains and forests, Suldak almost always led the horse along the way.
The cold north wind rolled up the snow in the mountains and forests, like puffs of green smoke. The four legs of Gu Bolai's horse walked in the snow, and soon the horse's legs were covered with a layer of frost. Suldak was worried. The horse's legs were frostbitten, so he took out a blanket from the magic pouch, cut it into four pieces with a dagger, wrapped them on the four horse's legs respectively, and put a quilt on the back of Gu Bolai's horse.
The entire mountain forest is a vast expanse of whiteness, and many low bushes are buried in the snow.
After walking for half a day, when Suldak turned over the second mountain, he felt a very strong feeling in his heart, as if there were two eyes staring at him behind him, but every time he turned his head and looked back, the mountain road behind It was empty, and I didn't find anyone following me several times.
Then at the fork of a mountain road, Suldak didn't choose the mountain road, but led the horse directly into an oak forest.
The low trees in the forest were all buried under the snow, and many small animals that came out to look for food left many motley footprints in the forest. Suldak also used these small and small footprints to walk in the oak forest. Go all the way to the mountains.
…
The assassin who was following Suerdak saw that Suerdak led his horse into the oak forest, and almost cursed, how could such heavy snow go further into the mountains? Drilling in the oak forest, the assassin regretted agreeing to this tracking task.
The assassin habitually hid behind a tree, tried to hide his body as much as possible, and carefully looked for the footprints of Suldak and the horse in the snow.
When he walked into an oak forest, he found that his field of vision was full of thick oak trees. If he wanted to continue tracking Suldak, he could only rely on the clear footprints in the snow. He thought to himself: "Samya That woman is really unreliable, to issue such a task..."
When he was complaining about Samya, the footprints in the snow were only the hoofprints of Gu Bolai's horse. When Suldak's footprints disappeared inexplicably, the assassin hesitated for a moment, and his heart suddenly became cold Halfway through, before he could think clearly, his body swooped forward.
Suldak, like a **** descending from the earth, jumped down from the branch of the oak tree above his head, and the craftsman's sword in his hand cut through the air.
The assassin then hid behind an oak tree, and had no intention of confronting Suldak head-on. Seeing Suldak rushing towards him with the craftsman's sword, he was about to escape into the shadows , It's a pity that the oak forest is a vast expanse of whiteness, and there is no shadow that can be used at all.
Suldak slashed at him with a sword, and the assassin took out his dagger to respond hastily, but the handle of the dagger in the assassin's hand hit his chest when Suldak slashed with his sword, and the assassin only felt that he was being attacked by a A heavy iron rod hit his chest, his body backed up a few steps, and his back hit the tree trunk all of a sudden, the thick oak tree branches were shaken, and countless snow hanging on the tree fell down one after another.
The assassin jumped out of the falling snow like a nimble rabbit.
Samoya had told him before that he must not fight Suldak head-on. Suldak was not affected by the 'Shadow Bound', which almost halved the assassin's assassination methods. The assassin was very confident in his speed, but he didn't expect that the assassin only felt a shadow flickering in front of him, and a silver shield fell on him. The infinity in front of my eyes is magnified, and my body has no time to make changes...
Suldak threw out the dwarven chain shield in his hand, and the shield flew out with a 'swish' sound. Who would have thought that... the assassin in front of him made the fool not know how to dodge, and the dwarf chain shield directly hit the assassin. Assassin's face.
With a 'bang' sound, the assassin was struck by the thick dwarf chain shield, and he wanted to flee, but he was struck back by Suldak, who was catching up later.
The craftsman's sword in Suldak's hand was like a thick iron rod, forcing the assassin back a few steps, the assassin was about to cough up blood.
While the assassin wasn't paying attention, Suldak threw out a dwarf chain shield chain to wrap the assassin's legs...
A scream came from the oak forest.
Not long after, Suldak led the horse out of the oak forest.
