Knight with Wand

Time passed quickly, the sun was setting, and the sky was dark.

The clanging sound of iron hammering lasted almost the whole day, but the frightening movement gradually became sparse in the yard.

The heavy feeling of wearing armor became more and more clear again.

The increasingly slow and dull sword was deflected, and Leon took Olivia's swift stabs from the front countless times.

—— Bang! !

The blunt head knocked him off balance, and Leon fell to the ground with a bang, exhausted and facing up. He couldn't even lift the blunt sword in his hand again.

With stars in his eyes, he looked through the narrow gap of the visor and looked at the burning red clouds in the sky. Leon heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and he didn't even have the strength to lift the visor.

Under the helmet, the beads of sweat on his face were as exaggerated as if he had just come out of a steamer. He exhaled and inhaled "steam" in big mouthfuls, and exhaled the excess heat in his body through the gap of the visor.

Repeatedly draining the magic essence, exhausting and recovering, exhausting and recovering, exhausting and recovering.

Except for a short break at noon, he went all out without reservation from morning to night. After squeezing out his potential like this, every joint in Leon's body was groaning in pain.

If we have to compare the pain at this moment, it's like compressing the high-intensity training that should have taken several months into less than ten hours.

Miss Lola's quick method modified by the Boiling Heart is not training at all, it's simply torture.

He personally experienced that this so-called way of training magic essence perception is different from the essence of normal exercise and martial arts.

It seems that the Boiling Heart burns not only people's physical strength and energy. Under the extraordinary continuous overdraft cycle, after each cycle ends, he will be surrounded by waves of dizziness. Leon feels as weak as if even his soul has been drained.

The body and mind are suffering from double pain.

It was barely bearable in the first cycle.

Even with the blessing of the Boiling Heart, there is a kind of pain and happiness of feeling the breakthrough of his own potential.

But the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after the short-term endurance overdraft completely dissipated after the second cycle of Corvis's replenishment of magic.

Physical strength switched back and forth between weakness and abundance, but the burden and pressure on the soul continued to multiply.

Now that the third cycle has ended

Leon's drowsy brain even began to doubt whether he was on the verge of sudden death.

Not to mention feeling the so-called magic in his body, he was about to lose his consciousness in addition to the pain after the overload of his whole body.

The brain seemed to be about to stop thinking.

Suddenly, in the blurred and narrow vision of the visor, the dusk sky was replaced by the panicked faces of Olivia and Corvis.

The girl threw down the blunt sword, hurriedly dismantled Leon's helmet with her hands and feet, and called Lina loudly to get a towel.

The young servant quickly took off the master's hand armor and hurriedly transferred the little magic power in his body.

Feeling the force flowing through the veins under his body, Leon frowned at the gradually recovering sensation.

Apart from the strain and bruises caused by excessive exercise, there were no serious injuries on his body, and these wear and tear on his body were slowly recovering under the careful healing of Corvis.

The pain still exists

It hurts so much.

It's hard to tell where it hurts.

Leon only felt as if there were imaginary strings in his head, being pulled and twitched fiercely, and every twitch caused severe pain all over his body.

The sweat on his face was carefully wiped by Olivia. Leon raised his eyes and looked at the girl's lips that were opening and closing. When his hearing slowly recovered, he realized that the girl was calling his name.

"Leon. How do you feel? Are you hurt?" Olivia called worriedly.

Leon opened his mouth and clenched his teeth: ".hiss."

After a while, he smiled with a hoarse voice: ".It's okay, just a little tired and a little painful."

As he said that, looking at the blonde girl in front of him with sweat and blush on her face, and her expression showing fatigue, Leon smiled bitterly.

After using the Boiling Heart three times, he was almost exhausted by this set of magic cycle. After a whole day of fierce fighting, he only dragged Olivia to a tired face.

With the blessing of the Boiling Heart, he still had no victory against the girl

Facts have proved that the idea of ​​worrying about accidentally hurting the girl before the fight was really over-concerned.

Even if his strength is greatly different after the cheat, he still cannot reach the level of Olivia's strength.

This is also natural. After all, Baron Dosen, who is highly skilled in martial arts, can only reach the level of competing with Olivia with this advanced military magic equipment from the Atias Empire.

My foundation is at best the martial arts of an ordinary combat attendant.

Even if I am strengthened by the effect of the boiling heart stimulating magic, I am afraid that I can only temporarily reach the level of the knights of military honors I have seen so far.

And a knight of this level of martial arts is currently imprisoned in the village cellar prison, waiting for ransom.

I heard that the knight Cantadar named Mamuel could not survive ten moves in the hands of the murderous Olivia.

It seems that unless I bring multiple knights or a large number of armored soldiers to surround and compress the girl's movement space, the gap in strength is too big for me alone. Even if I fight to the end of time, I can't defeat this little lion.

The girl saw that her friend was still as conscious as before, so she let go of her hanging heart.

But when I saw his expression twitching with pain, I still frowned and complained, with a hint of sullen tone in my tone: ".Martial arts training is not something that happens overnight. You are too reluctant to resist without saying a word. ! Didn’t you say that Corvis wouldn’t be hurt?”

Olivia felt a little regretful in her heart. At this time, she felt deeply that the training method given to Leon by the mage lady was too dangerous.

In the afternoon, she already felt that something was wrong with Leon, but she couldn't resist the other party's persistence, and the other party kept wearing his mask and remained silent. She thought that the mysterious card magic could ensure that her friend was safe and sound.

Now it seems that Leon is so crazy that his body is constantly exhausted. Without Corvis's healing, a few lives of another person would have been lost.

"Isn't this the first time? I want to see the limit of what I can bear."

Leon spoke intermittently, as if it took a lot of effort to say these few words.

"Okay, okay, don't talk and have a good rest. You're so tired. I think you won't be able to get out of bed in the past two days." Olivia said helplessly.

Leon had no choice but to shut his mouth obediently.

"Also, you can't practice to this level in the future. If you do this again next time, I won't come to help you." The girl reminded her uneasily.

Faced with his partner's concern, Leon felt a strong warmth in his heart and nodded obediently.

If he makes this girl angry, where can he find such a caring sword master to feed him tricks every day?

Although after activating the Boiling Heart, he can also consume his energy through muscle exercises such as running and lifting weights.

But ordinary people generally do not have the opportunity to experience this kind of martial arts experience that is several times higher than their original level. This abundant extra strength and agility are not used to comprehensively improve combat and martial arts skills, and to strengthen their personal understanding and understanding of martial arts. Cognition is such a waste.

Turning his head, he looked at Corvis who was carefully removing his armor with Lina.

Although the blond boy did not directly participate in this sparring, the three consecutive magic cycles really made Corvis look dim, and he was obviously very tired.

Seeing Leon's apologetic eyes, Corvis smiled bitterly at his master and said: "Miss Olivia is right, my master, with such a life-exhausting training method, I recommend that you do one or two cycles at a time. , act within your ability.

Besides, it’s not just about your physical endurance, it will also take me a few days to recover after my magic power is exhausted, and I have to leave some room to save the griffon egg.”

Leon nodded again. He was still hurting physically and mentally and could not speak. He would definitely not dare to do that next time.

Lying on the ground and letting his two partners help him take off layers of armor as extra weight, Leon felt a little lighter physically and mentally.

Seeing that Corvis and Olivia wanted to carry him back to the room to rest, Leon reluctantly raised his hand and waved: "It's okay. It's not that I can't move. Just help me up."

He knew that his body was fine. He had Corvis's healing spells, and the minor ailments he had been practicing had long since recovered. The current weakness was affecting him more on a conscious level.

With the help of the two men, Leon stood up and endured the phantom pain in his mind before being brought back to the room.

As a result, not long after he rested, he felt unbearable hunger in his belly again.

Fortunately, it was just in time for dinner, and Aunt Miliya and Ms. Elena in the kitchen prepared dinner for everyone.

That night, Leon found that a glutton seemed to live in his stomach.

As he ate, he couldn't stop eating.

The portion that is usually enough to fill up the stomach is simply not enough to fill the stomach.

The two cooks in the back kitchen had to get busy and quickly provide the lord with extra meals.

So under the astonished gaze of everyone at home, Leon ate more than ten times more food than usual before he put down the cleanly chewed lamb bones angrily and looked down at his flat belly.

He feels like he can still eat.

But I don’t know where all the food I swallowed went.

Asked Corvis, the young man with a lot of knowledge didn't understand what the impact was.

Fortunately, being able to eat and sleep was not a problem. Leon thought it was a side effect of the magic perception training during the day.

Early the next morning.

Leon, who had recovered from his difficulties in the first special training yesterday, opened his eyes due to the knock on the door outside the bedroom.

This was the time he asked Lina and the others to wake him up on time every day.

Sitting up and yawning, he unexpectedly found that he could no longer feel the pain and fatigue in his body.

The injuries to his body did not seem to be as serious as Olivia had feared.

Turning over and getting out of bed, he scratched his head instinctively. He felt something was wrong with his body.

"Brother Leon~ The hot water is ready, can you come in?" Little Lina asked outside.

"Oh, come in, I'm getting up." Leon turned around and responded.

The little maid immediately opened the door and entered.

Before she could put down the wooden basin she was carrying, she caught sight of Leon in his pajamas, but was so frightened that he almost let go and spilled the hot water.

"Ah——!!!" Lina stared at the people in the room in shock and shouted: "You, you, you!. Who are you!?"

Leon looked at his little maid inexplicably: "What's wrong? Who am I?"

Hearing the still familiar voice, Lina slowly stopped being frightened.

Blinking her eyes, the girl tilted her head left and right to look at the familiar yet unfamiliar owner in front of her, and asked, "Are you brother Le Leon?"

"?"

Leon was puzzled by her attitude, wondering if the little guy hadn't woken up yet, or if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Brother Leon, what's wrong with you?" Lina saw the other's eyebrows and facial features clearly, and could still see that he was obviously familiar. Then she swallowed and continued to ask: "Your hair! What's wrong with your eyes?"

Hair? Eyes?

Leon touched his head and understood why he felt something was wrong.

He twisted up a strand of his hair and saw that it was much longer than yesterday.

What's more exaggerated is that except for the original brown at the end, the rest of it was actually deep black.

"Lina! Bring the mirror over."

"Yes!" The little maid ran out of the drawer and handed it over.

Leon picked it up and took a look, and immediately understood why Lina was scared by him just now.

The appearance was still the same.

But in the polished mirror, he could see that not only a new black hair had grown on his head, but also the color of his eyes had changed to the black pupils of his previous life.

"Is it really possible to change back?!" Leon touched his head in surprise and joy.

After all, he was more used to the black hair and black eyes that he had used for more than 20 years.

Could it be the influence of magic perception training?

He did remember that Laura said a while ago that magic would affect the caster's hair color and eye color characteristics.

However, he had not yet mastered how to manipulate magic, and there had been such an exaggerated change?

Leon fiddled with the black hair on his head, turned around and comforted the doubtful Lina, and then continued to get up and wash.

Suddenly, he was looking forward to what expressions Corvis and Olivia, as well as the two partners who were far away in Longka, would see when they came back and saw him.

He found the blond boy who was cleaning the plate armor in the backyard warehouse.

Leon put his hair on his shoulders, walked lightly and quietly approached him from behind, pinching his throat and asking in a false voice: "Ahem~ Lord Corvis~ Excuse me, is Lord Leon at home now?"

"?"

Hearing the fake voice behind him, the boy turned around and looked at Leon.

But he only hesitated for a moment before recognizing his master: "Haha, stop joking, my lord, but you have changed a lot tonight."

"Alas, your reaction is boring~"

The identity was exposed in less than half a second. The boy's cleverness made Leon a little regretful. He wanted to play a prank.

After the conversation.

The blond boy also agreed with Leon's guess.

This sudden change in appearance is likely related to the manifestation of personal magic power, but the sudden change is so huge that it is still beyond Corvis's understanding.

According to Corvis himself, although he used to have blond hair, he did not have golden eyes. It was later under the influence of magic that his eye color became like gold as it is now. It was a very long process.

After hearing this, Leon temporarily put aside his doubts. Since it was basically normal, there was no need to worry. He had also seen Miss Lola's beautiful silver hair and golden eyes, and Ms. Aphrodite's peculiar pink hair and star pupils.

I still remember seeing a lady wizard with long black hair and black eyes carved on the exquisite sculpture that Laura played with.

In this way, my current black hair and black eyes are normal compared to the unique appearance of Laura and Aphrodite.

"Corvis, can you cut hair?" Leon suddenly asked.

I originally wanted to wait until I went to Farolis City to find a barber, but now my hair is so long, there is no time to delay.

"I remember that Ms. Elena learned how to take care of the hair of nobles. You can ask her to cut it for you." Corvis thought about it and recommended.

The boy did not elaborate on where Ms. Elena learned the etiquette and maid skills. Obviously, the experience in the Falcon Territory was not a memory suitable to be mentioned again.

Leon said goodbye to the boy after hearing this, and went back to the big house to find Elena, who had just got up and went downstairs and was free.

His appearance with black hair and black eyes naturally scared the friend's sister again.

After a brief explanation, the kind lady readily agreed to Leon's request.

After returning to the room to get the scissors and comb, Ms. Elena spent nearly half an hour to help Leon trim his hair into a neat short length that just reached the ears.

Leon looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

I don't know if it's an illusion

Although it still looks like the original owner.

But why does it feel a little more handsome than before?

Raising his head a little narcissistically, Leon decided to find Olivia.

Of course, he didn't go to her to show off his new hairstyle and eye color.

Since there was no pain all over his body today, there was no need to stop the daily sword practice.

The road to martial arts requires daily accumulation. If you don't make progress, you will regress. There is no room for laziness.

Even if Corvis needs to recover his magic power and rest for a few days, he can't help himself do the dangerous special training like yesterday.

Taking advantage of the current leisure time, at least he can communicate with the girl about sword skills normally.

After Azerien and Lohak return from Longka with troops, Selva will be busy.
