78. It's annoying to confess
Sean walked back to the campfire.
At present, there is only a slave catching team of Sean and others in the lookout area, although the place occupied is not large, but there are more than a dozen bonfires, and more than a hundred people sit around these bonfires, which can basically be clearly divided into three small groups, and the smallest number is naturally the twenty or so experienced slave catchers. However, both the bear people and the Northland barbarians know that Shaun values these people, so naturally they will not trouble these slave hunters, no matter how much the bear people hate slave hunters, but after they have a good nature, they have acquiesced in their companionship after experiencing a battle together.
AndrΓ© was lucky enough to sit by the same campfire as Cecilia and Tiny.
It's the center of the team, it's the safest place, and of course it's a symbol of power.
But Andre is also clear about why he is able to sit here. He is no longer at the age of being stunned, so what should be done and must be done, and what cannot be touched, although being appreciated by a lord can indeed give him a considerable part of the privilege, but with this privilege is also a danger, because it is their job to capture slaves, and the danger of the wild land is the highest in the whole world.
Just like the leader of the slave catcher team he met before, he didn't know when he died.
The sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox, Andre still can't forget it.
Perhaps, I am really old. - Andrei smiled bitterly and sighed, and raised his head to take a long sip of wine.
Andrei gently shook this small tin flask, which was depicted with some strange patterns, which looked very exquisite, of course, it was naturally inferior in terms of practicality, and the most about 500 ml was a flask like this. According to the normal cup volume in this world, it is not enough for an ale glass. This time, Sean followed Andre's suggestion and prepared a large water bag for everyone, but it was filled with spirits of relatively high purity, not ordinary ale, rye wine and the like, as long as a small sip was enough.
But Andre still brought the flask with him, and Sean guessed that the flask might have some history.
Of course, he won't ask this kind of question, who doesn't have some secrets or memories on them?
Sean sat next to Andre. He asked, "Is it okay to drink so much wine?" β
"Don't worry, my lord, I won't delay my business." Andre smiled, "Drink some wine to warm up, although this place is no longer in the knife wind zone." However, because the temperature starts to drop after fogging, it will probably be cold in the second half of the night. So it's better to take precautions first. β¦β¦ And the fog will not disperse so quickly. It usually doesn't start to dissipate until late in the afternoon, when we can continue on the road, so we can get a little more sleep. β
The fog would not dissipate until late afternoon, and Sean was not surprised, because the evil thoughts here were so strong, and it was far more terrifying than ordinary dead air.
Previously in the game. Sean's understanding of things like evil thoughts and death is limited to weakening the player's combat ability, which is equivalent to a skill similar to aura, but the player can't master it. But after coming to this worldly realm. After reading the books before and some exchanges with Andrew later, Sean realized that in today's real world, things like evil thoughts and dead air already have a considerable degree of concept and judgment criteria, and not just a weakened aura like in the game.
"It's fine." Sean waved his hand indifferently, "It's not a big deal to leave here later, but let's be careful tonight." β
"It's good." Andre nodded, but he didn't think too much about it, although he hadn't left the Savage Land for many years, he hadn't heard of any accidents here in the Gorge Rift in recent years, and it was relatively calm overall, so he wasn't too worried.
After nightfall, the temperature did start to drop more drastically, as Andre said, and everything seemed even colder.
However, Sean knows very well that this coldness is actually purely because of the evil thoughts and dead qi in the fog, although these evil breaths cannot penetrate because of the effect of the enchantment of expelling evil, but the coldness is unavoidable. Sean guessed that there must be something in this enchantment that was similar to defending against the undead, otherwise it would be impossible for those ghouls and ghost fires to not appear, you must know that the way to drive out evil is just to make those evil creatures not like here, if they find that there are other creatures here, no matter how much they don't like it, they can't stop them.
"Drink some wine and warm up." Sean handed Cecilia a hydration bag, but instead of water, it contained spirits.
"I'm a magician." Cecilia looked at the water bag and looked at Sean with some pity, her watery eyes blinking, looking very embarrassed.
One of the rules of a magician is that he never drinks.
Because the spiritual power of a magician is very pure, it is very addictive if you drink alcohol, and if you drink alcohol for a long time, you will be corroded by alcohol and affect your magic and mental power, which will damage the strength of the magician. And this damage is still permanent, even if you quit alcohol, but if your mental ability cannot be restored, then it is equivalent to completely losing the ability to be a magician.
Therefore, whether it is an academic magician or a inheritance school magician of the Mage Tower, there will be strict restrictions.
Cecilia rejects alcohol, and that's why.
It's just that Sean knows very well that alcohol also had an effect on the player's magician in the game, but if it is only done occasionally, it will naturally not cause any effect, and even some liquids with alcohol can also improve the magic and mental power of magicians, such as Andrew's concocted blade. Of course, in this world, there is not only a sharp blade that can improve the spiritual ability of a magician, but the rest of the things are quite difficult to get their hands on, and they can't be obtained at Sean's current level for the time being.
"Drink a little once in a while, it's fine." Sean said with a smile, obviously very resistant to Cecilia's cute appearance, "It's too cold here." I don't want you to get cold because of this. β¦β¦ Besides, even if you lose your magic, will I still dislike you? Cecilia of my family is not only talented as a magician, but you are also very good at internal affairs and military affairs. β
"But along the way, I've already drunk a lot of ......" Cecilia pursed her mouth, a little aggrieved, "I already feel that my spiritual power is a little weak, and it will take a lot of time to purify and restore pure magic and spiritual power." β
"Compared to your cold. I'd rather you're just mentally impaired. Sean pinched Cecilia's face, "I'm going to be very upset if you get sick here." Besides, it's not like I can't afford to support you, no matter what kind of person Cecilia becomes in the future. I will support you. β
Under Sean's combination of soft and hard, Cecilia finally took a sip of the liquor with some helplessness. Immediately choked and coughed.
Sean smiled and patted Cecilia on the back. Calm her down, look at her red face and smile: "Do you feel a little warmer now?" β
Cecilia nodded slightly, but as if she was fleeing, she handed the water bag full of spirits back to Sean, refusing to touch it again, which made Andre and Tini and the others laugh knowingly, which made little Cecilia even more embarrassed.
Maybe it's because of the magician. Not long after Cecilia finished drinking, her eyelids were fighting, and then she slowly collapsed and fell asleep.
Sean took off his cloak and folded it into a soft pillow. Gently place it on the floor so that Cecilia can sleep on it a little more comfortably. And when they saw Sean's move, Tini and Andre looked at Sean with some confusion, in such a damn climate, even bear people almost need to rely on drinking to warm their bodies, and taking off this cloak is not a wise choice for humans.
"Your Excellency?" Andrei said, "We don't have extra cloaks......
"No, I don't." Sean shook his head, then stood up, "You guys protect Cecilia, if anything happens...... Andrey: Will you command? β
"Commanded several battles before." Andrei nodded.
As the leader of a slave catcher, how can he not command the battle? It's just that Sean, as his own lord, of course can't speak so bluntly, so he explained very politely.
"That's good, let's arrange for someone to keep vigil, and if there is any problem, immediately retreat to the watchtower." Sean thought about it, but he was still a little uneasy, "That tower is forty meters high, although it doesn't look big, but it should be no problem to accommodate a hundred people." β
Andre and Tini looked at each other, and finally Andre asked, "Then ...... lord?"
"I'm going to go outside." Sean grinned.
Hearing Sean's words, Andre's face changed suddenly: "Lord Lord, this can't be, the ancient ruins area is too dangerous here, and because of the dense fog, the visibility is too low, and many people can't find their way back after going out......"
"It's okay, I'll leave a mark." Sean began, "And I've always felt that I could find something interesting in this foggy area. β
"I'll go with you." Tini stood up and said with a serious face.
Sean refused without thinking about it: "No need." β
"For what?" Tini was stunned for a moment, "Although the Church of Ice and Winter is not a church that specializes in fighting the undead, some basic magic techniques are still very deterrent to the undead, and I am still a priest with a knife, and combat is my strength, so I can definitely assist you better if I am here." β
"I don't need assistance." Sean said calmly, "It's more convenient and advantageous for me to act alone, and it will only be a burden for me to bring you." β¦β¦ Or do you think you're stronger than me? β
was asked by Sean like this, Tini was immediately speechless, she couldn't help but remember that when she almost stepped into the golden realm, the three of them joined forces and were not easily defeated by Sean, and even she couldn't escape death. But even though Sean was telling the truth at the moment, Tini still felt a little angry.
It's annoying to confess! (To be continued.) )
PS: I was sick the day before yesterday, because of acute gastroenteritis caused by irregular diet and staying up late, and I went to the hospital as a result. Let someone help leave a message in the book review area to ask for leave, I believe everyone should also see it. β¦β¦ Well, the body has finally recovered today, but the thinking is relatively unclear, and the speed of the code word will be slightly slower for the time being, please forgive me, I will adjust the state, and thank you for your concern. β¦β¦ At the end of the day, I must emphasize that the guy who said that I went into the operating table to perform surgery was a scumbag!
