Chapter 653 642. Iman Owen
The surface of Crescent Lake is covered with a thick layer of ice. After being covered with snow, it becomes a flat land.
The Great Knight Grover sat on a rock and demonstrated the use of the Holy Seal for Suldak. Of course, the Holy Seal of the Great Knight Grover fell on his body, and Suldak could clearly feel the power that was so powerful that it was shocking. Suffocating power.
"The holy seal is a short-term power increase?"
Seeing the great knight Grover split a rock in half, Suldak couldn't help but said.
Grand Knight Grover nodded, and explained: "Simply put, the qi that the warrior will feel will become battle qi, and the qi that the knight will feel will form the holy seal."
He seemed to have forgotten something, and then suddenly remembered, patted his forehead vigorously and said: "Oh! By the way, magicians like to call the qi in our body a non-attribute magic element. The qi activates the magic circle, forming a short-term ability increase is the seal. There are many known seals, such as the blood seal, the justice seal, the wisdom seal, the command seal, etc. We don't need all knights Learned everything about…”
He paused for a moment before saying, "A knight can't be as proficient in magic as a magician, just like this..."
"The first thing you need to do is to understand the existence of qi, and then guide them to exist in your body, flowing continuously in your body, just like the blood in your body. However, your condition is probably not as good as that of ordinary knights. The difference is that you can perceive the magical elements of the sacred attribute. Compared with a knight, you are more like a battle priest in a temple. You may have to look for an opportunity to break through the second turn at the magic level, just like magicians. It's not an easy job."
The morning sun rises from the mountains, there is a light frost mist floating on the ice lake, and the forests on both sides of the ice lake are covered with white rime.
Facing the rising sun, Suldak narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked Grand Knight Grover, "Magic level?"
The great knight Grover nodded and said: "The magic level is probably the degree of your control over the power of the holy light. Magicians call it elemental affinity. I think there may be some records in the library of the magic union. Magic is not understood, and there is no way to help you understand it.”
Suldak listened very carefully. He felt that the seal spoken by the great knight Grover was no different from the rune language he had learned. Both of them could enhance a certain ability of the body in a short period of time, but it seemed that the rune language had some effect. weak…
‘El’
Suldak recited a word of runes casually, only to feel a halo appear between his hands, and then gradually merged into his body. The blurry other side of the lake became clear at this moment, and it actually only strengthened his vision a little.
And this magic power can only last for a short while, Suldak asked: "Grand Knight Glover, is this a holy seal?"
Seeing that Suldak uttered a jerky curse skillfully, a force enveloped his body, the great knight Grover was also slightly startled, and said: "You actually comprehended the holy seal, but the effect seems to be weak. Got some..."
"Speaking of which, you have already stepped into the world of the second-rank powerhouse with half a foot. As long as you make a breakthrough in the magic level, you may become the first great knight in Bena province to master the power of the holy light." Groo The Great Knight of Buddha patted Suldak on the shoulder and said excitedly.
The two stood side by side on the shore of the lake. The gate of Constantinople in the distance opened, and groups of cavalry came out of the city.
The Constructed Knights of Glover Grand Knight will return to Constantinople, and Suldak will also return to the city with the Constructed Knights.
Except for a part of the northwestern part of the city wall that was bombed by fire phosphorus bombs, Constantinople was not damaged at all, and the robbers had no plans to attack the city. Almost all the citizens in the city did not sleep well last night, and the city was still in chaos during the day. of.
Some citizens gathered in the square, inquiring about what happened last night. They saw a pair of cavalry regiments leaving the city one after another, knowing that something big was about to happen, they wanted to know the inside information even more.
When Suldak returned to the hotel, Aphrodite had just woken up.
She ordered a breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, sat elegantly by the window, ate apple pie and drank milk tea, and looked at the bustling street, as if she was not at all worried that her identity as a succubus would be discovered by others. see through.
Suldak sat down on the seat opposite her, waved to the waiter, and ordered a wheat cake and broth. Although his face was tired, he still smiled and asked Aphrodite: "You are not afraid Have you been spotted by those demon hunters?"
Aphrodite's smile is very charming, her dark purple eyes have a kind of charm, although she is wearing a loose long skirt, people can not see her figure, but her lazy posture , even sitting in the corner of the restaurant on the first floor, there are still frequent people looking towards the corner.
Aphrodite wrinkled her nose, and said a little waywardly: "The demon hunters are busy going to the jungle to catch those who are trying to escape from the city of Constantine. No one will notice me now, and I am not hiding it, you see A succubus with no horns on its head, wings and tail behind it?"
If everything goes well, Suldak plans to leave Constantinople after breakfast, so he doesn't care too much. He just smiled at the succubus and said, "Of course, isn't this beautiful lady in front of you...?"
Aphrodite lowered her head and ate the last piece of apple pie, wiped her fingers, and asked, "Last night went well?"
Suldak sighed, and said: "Being recognized by someone, I have been working behind the scenes for a whole night of treatment. Now I just want to lie on the bed and have a good sleep."
At this time, the waiter brought up Suldak's scones and broth, and Suldak stuffed the food into his empty stomach. A group of knights hurriedly pushed away, several seriously wounded were lying on stretchers, and they were carried to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel by these knights, and some people kept looking towards the dining room, but those knights didn't have the nerve to rush immediately Come in.
Aphrodite smiled, covered her lips with her hand and said, "It seems that you can't sleep anymore, so I won't bother you with your work!"
Suldak touched his heavy forehead. At this moment, he even had the urge to lie down on the chair in the dining room and sleep.
The group of knights was at least superficially polite. They didn't rush into the dining room, but waited anxiously in the hotel lobby, looking expectantly.
Knowing that this matter could not be avoided, Suldak had no choice but to call the waiter at the side and ask him to inform the manager of the hotel lobby to arrange rooms for these wounded. , who dares to come to stay!
The lobby manager of the hotel seemed to be aware of this problem, and after being reminded by Suldak, he immediately arranged the wounded in the rooms on the first floor.
At this time, Suldak also hurriedly finished his breakfast, and Aphrodite went upstairs to continue to sleep in the cage without looking back, but Suldak still had to bear the strong sleepiness to give care to those injured in the battle last night. person treatment.
At this time, Suldak also knew the person who came to greet Suldak.
It was Mrs. Annabelle's son, Baron Iman Owen, who helped Suldak get the purchase order for the firearms workshop. He also looked haggard, with some blood stains on his leather armor. Seeing Suldak Ke came out of the restaurant and hurried over to meet him.
"Long time no see, Iman!" Suldak greeted him.
The two hugged.
Iman Owen did not make the request immediately, but greeted him: "Long time no see, Suldak, I didn't expect you to be in Constantinople at this time. Are you here to discuss the sulfur mine business?"
Suldak smiled and said: "Actually, I purchased some standard full-coverage armor in the firm in Constantinople, and I am preparing to gradually join the cavalry battalion recently."
Iman Owen didn't expect Suldak to purchase armor, and said in surprise: "Our business just happens to have this business."
Suldak saw several knights carrying stretchers from the hall into the hotel room, and asked him, "You mean those wounded?"
Iman Owen nodded in embarrassment. As a nobleman of the Owen family, he didn't seem to ask for much, and he seemed a little embarrassed in front of Suldak at this time.
Suldak hardly stopped, walked directly to a stretcher, checked the wounded lying on the stretcher, and said while watching:
"Let me check first. Every seriously wounded person needs a first-level monster head, and the lightly wounded can be treated directly!"
He followed the stretcher and saw that these wounded looked like they had some bruises on their bodies.
Iman Owen followed behind Suldak with a grateful face, and said, "I've prepared the head of the monster!"
Suldak nodded to Iman Owen and said, "Then deal with it, I can only do my best..."
Those who are eligible to lie on a stretcher and be carried directly to the hotel are indeed seriously injured. This time, Iman Owen was very well prepared and directly carried two large magic sealing boxes into the room Inside, after opening the box, it was filled with heads of monsters.
Suldak resolutely gave himself the blessing of the "Eye of Reality" of the "Divine Blessed Body" first, and then cheered up and started to continue the treatment work. Every time a wounded person came, Suldak would come to the door Take a break and chat with Iman Owen outside the door.
During the chat, I realized that these wounded are all master craftsmen in the firearms workshop, and they are all senior craftsmen who have mastered the formula of the fire scale bomb production process. During the treatment process, two seriously wounded died directly. On the stretcher, Surdak covered their heads with linen.
Busy until noon, Suerdak sat in the rest area of the hotel lobby almost collapsed, and finally completed all the treatment.
Iman Owen placed a bottle of light blue potion on the square table in front of Suldak.
Suldak asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Spiritual potion, it is said that it can restore mental strength very quickly and relieve excessive fatigue!" Iman Owen explained, his eyes were full of gratitude.
Suldak didn't hesitate, just unscrewed the cap and poured it into his stomach.
He drank this thing on the Maca plane, which can enhance his spiritual power. Now his spiritual power is on the verge of exhaustion. After drinking a bottle of spiritual power potion, he draws the rune language 'Ace' in front of him. This rune can Improve mental recovery for a short time.
Seeing the holy seal lit up on Suldak's body, the admiration in Iman Owen's eyes became even more obvious.
"Even if you don't come, I still want to visit Mrs. Annabella." Suldak said, "Hathaway wrote a letter to Mrs. Annabella and asked me to hand it to Mrs. Annabella."
Iman Owen looked at Suldak in a daze, and asked in surprise, "Do you know Hathaway?"
Suldak sat up straight and said to Iman Owen: "Three weeks ago, Hathaway accepted my marriage proposal!"
Iman Owen was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time. He stared at Suldak for a long time, and then said: "...God, I didn't hear any news about all this, so we are actually relatives .”
But he didn't get entangled in this matter, he just waved to the waiter in the hotel and asked them to bring two drinks.
Iman Owen was not in a hurry to leave. The two of them were holding golden cider and chatted about what happened in the city of Benar, including the details of Suldak's proposal to Hathaway at the ball, and the creation of a cavalry battalion by Suldak things.
Iman Owen said with some regret: "You should see your mother or me first, maybe you don't have to pay so much gold coins to buy those full-coverage armors, although the money cannot be completely free, after all, it involves everyone in the Owen family benefits, but a discount is still possible, you probably need some other supplies, right?"
"Almost everything has been purchased!" Suldak said.
Iman Owen said enthusiastically: "It doesn't matter, I am very familiar with the person in charge of the business. After you rest, I will go to the business with you to ask him for a discount, and then return the extra magic crystals." !"
Suldak waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's not necessary at all. I still want to continue to cooperate with the firm. If I keep taking advantage of the Owen family, how can the future transactions continue... By the way, the one who attacked Constantinople Where did the group of robbers come from, is there any news?"
"It wasn't that group of damned Tabei bumpkins. Lord MacDonnell finally couldn't bear it anymore. He even exposed the fox's tail and started brazenly plundering the resources of the surrounding cities. This time when he came to Constantinople, he hit the iron wall. It's on the board." Iman Owen said with a cold smile.
"you know?"
Suldak did not expect the Owen family to find out the mastermind behind it so quickly, and the name of Lord MacDonnell sounded familiar to him, as if the mastermind who sent hidden hunters to kidnap Mrs. Dorothy in Bena City was this one. lord.
Iman Owen nodded, took a sip of the golden cider, and said to Suldak in a low voice: "Of course, there is no bandit group in the territory of Bena Province that can make such a big move. We have already caught Some robbers have been caught, and the guard battalion has opened their mouths, and they are all from the north of the tower."
After finishing speaking, he introduced the situation in Bena Province to Suldak:
"Everyone knows that Marquis McDonnell is the great lord of the northern region of Tarapagan. This time Duke Newman went to the Warsaw plane. He is a staunch supporter. However, when he sent troops into the Warsaw plane, the Bena Legion did not An army in the north of Tata, when a small-scale counter-insurgency was going on in the Gambo plane, and now the main army of Duke Newman is stranded in the Warsaw plane, the Lord MacDonnell applied to the province of Bena for Tarapa dare Regional autonomy, but this proposal was rejected by the House of Representatives."
"Over the past year, the Tabei region has not made any contribution to the plane war, and they occupy the portal of the Ganbu plane. In the early stage, they just used gold coins to buy various resources in the province. The city bared its fangs and robbed it like robbers, if our Construct Knights hadn’t rushed back at this time, they might have succeeded in robbing the firearms workshop last night.”
Unexpectedly, the lords in the province of Bena were also full of conflicts. Without the Duke of Newman sitting in the city of Bena, these lords obviously couldn't suppress it.
Suldak thought of the Chamber of Deputies of Bena Province, and asked Iman: "What countermeasures does the House of Representatives of Bena Province have?"
Iman shook his head and said: "It's impossible to be so fast. What happened here has been reported. It will take at least a few days for the resolution of Bena City to be communicated. Of course, we people in Constantinople must retaliate with an eye for an eye. .Twenty cavalry regiments have already left the city to encircle those robbers, and there is also a small group of magicians. If they are wiped out in the mountains, we can only blame these 'robbers' for being unlucky and offending people they shouldn't."
Suldak couldn't help but asked again: "Um, isn't Marquis Owen afraid that the conflict will continue to intensify?"
Iman also said very stubbornly: "What's the matter... What should be intensified has already been intensified. We are just a group of innocent people who are persecuted. I hope that Duke Newman will return from the Warsaw plane as soon as possible. Today's Bena Province is already rotten. gone."
It seems that chasing these 'robbers' was the unanimous decision of the high-ranking nobles of Constantinople.
However, this is enough to show that the Owen family's control over Constantinople is at least much higher than that of the Christie family in Hailansa City.
Note: (Ms. Annabella, the sister of the Marquis Luther, married the Marquis Owen of Constantinople. Iman Owen is the son of Mrs. Annabella and the Marquis Owen)
