Knight with Wand

Chapter 144 The Miracle of Aphrodite

After the war, Longka was still building fortifications.

Having temporarily escaped the crisis, with plenty of time and support from the Thorn Flower Family, Old Brian was busy reinforcing the simple wooden camp.

Soldiers and craftsmen built a second layer of wall outside the single-layer wooden wall surrounding the village, and filled the space between the inside and the outside with rammed earth.

Once completed in the future, this place will truly become a fortress that can be defended, no longer afraid of fire.

If there is wealth in the future, the wooden wall can be completely replaced with a stone wall to become a real castle.

At that time, when the enemy attacks again, the soldiers will not have to take huge risks and casualties to line up outside to fight the enemy, but only need to defend the Longka wall and wait for reinforcements.

Of course, that is still a relatively distant future. Longka is just about to transform from a small village into a civil fortress.

After a brief meeting, Leon ended the detailed discussion with Baron Elliver and sent the feudal lord out of Longka without stopping.

After all, this place is still under construction, the facilities are incomplete, and the food and grass reserves are far from enough to supply the garrison of Elifer's accompanying troops. The amount of food and grass consumed by those war horses every day is an astonishing amount.

Standing outside the gate of the drawbridge, watching a large number of cavalry troops leave and rush to Sir Marcello's Wachter Castle.

The cavalry of the Farolis family is eager to get on the road, and the iron hooves of hundreds of war horses rumble on the field, which is very shocking.

It is very shocking.

Even if it is only "only" two hundred light and heavy cavalry and their spare pack horses.

In the war entertainment works that I have seen in my previous life, where "tens of thousands" of cavalry fought, this is not worth mentioning at all.

It seems to sound as "ridiculous" as a fight in the village.

But in fact, standing on the scene and seeing the scene of the armored cavalry galloping on horses, Leon had already swallowed that idea back into his stomach.

Now that he has led the army for some time, he can estimate the size of the soldiers. But if there was such a cavalry unit passing by in front of him when he just crossed over, even if someone told him that there were thousands of cavalry in front of him, he would not be able to tell the truth without flying into the sky.

The scene witnessed with his own eyes is very different from the scene that he had only imagined on paper in the past.

".It's really troublesome for me to perform such a scene in front of Elifer. Remember to keep your word and give me more time to come out for fresh air." Canis, who was standing by, complained to Leon with his elbows.

"The premise is that I don't get into trouble and my magic power is enough at ordinary times." Leon glanced at the young master of the Wolf family who had become one of his "Heroic Spirit Cards".

This sounded like raising a dog and taking a walk at a fixed time.

Leon shook his head and felt that Canis should really learn from the ancestor of the Thorn Flower family. Garron slept in the card every day, and he had no objection at all.

Hmm? Well, it seems that even if Garron has objections, he does not have enough magic power to summon the ancient guard every day.

The battle of Longka really drained Corvis's magic power. After half a month, his little wizard has not recovered yet, and he cannot consume it again in a short time.

Turning around and taking Canis back to Longka Castle, Leon found a secluded room and stopped supplying magic power and deactivated the Neti card.

The burly young master of the Wolf family immediately turned into light particles and condensed into a card again.

For Canis's current state, he certainly couldn't tell Elifer the truth, so he temporarily used the excuse that he saved Canis's life, who was almost stabbed to death, and was grateful to the other party to explain Canis's cooperation at the moment.

Although Baron Elifer was surprised that he could persuade the eldest son of his mortal enemy to help the Thorn Flower Family clarify the dispute, he couldn't guess the truth.

After all, the Neti card, which can make the dead so vivid and complete, keep consciousness and reason, and be reborn as if they have gained a second life, is beyond the cognition of ordinary people.

Speaking of resurrection, the terrible state of the undead that blasphemes the soul and is half dead is the spell in the general cognition, and the real resurrection is purely a myth.

That is to say, Leon and Miss Lola, who have been in contact with the soul for a long time, have enough immunity to such things, otherwise he can't be so calm.

Moreover, this magic that is like a miracle does not require the person who casts the spell to pay any price except the magic power to maintain the spirit.

I really don't know why the Dead Sea Dragon, who is like the god of the underworld, allows this great magic that breaks the taboo of life and death to be born.

When Leon first met the Neti card, he only thought it was a special undead summoning spell, but now that he has really started to learn magic knowledge for a while, he thinks about it carefully. The spell created by Ms. Aphrodite is really too extraordinary.

Leon caught the floating card and looked at the card "standing picture" of the young master of the Wolf family.

On the screen, Canis roared and swung his sword horizontally, splitting the enemy flag bearer in half with his flag. The background was a bloody battlefield. I don't know where it is, but it shouldn't be Longka, because the enemies fighting around Canis are all well-armored Kantadar knights.

As for the back of this card, it is not the running wolf emblem that Leon expected when he first turned it over, but the black dragon emblem that symbolizes the Kingdom of Orland.

Just like the back of the card of the Sun Guard Garon, it is not the thorn flower emblem of the Faroris family, but the white flame sun wheel.

Leon is not surprised by the emblems on the "face" and "back" of this crystal card. It turns out to be like this. Of course, it is not because Ms. Afros has any strange sense of ritual.

According to Miss Laura, whether this kind of creation wants to summon and accommodate souls or magic, it is necessary to locate traces of its existence in the world, so there is a picture of the "accommodating object" leaving a strong memory in the world.

The pattern on the back is magically the source and symbol of the various connections between the container and the world when it is locked by the Neti card.

Thinking about it this way, the scene on Canis's card is probably one of the most glorious moments in his short life.

After putting away the magic cards, Leon left the house and walked along the village road, planning to go to Olivia to practice sword practice and stretch his body.

Of course, it is sword training in the true sense.

After greeting the patrolling soldiers and passing by the west gate of Lonka, Leon saw the boy Lohak discussing something with Old Brian on the arrow tower, pointing at the Lonka city defense under construction below.

"Uncle Brian, look at these places, what if four bed crossbows are arranged crosswise? Why is it inappropriate? I think that's how the top of Rolanal City is arranged?"

You can hear the excitement in that loud voice from a distance, and Leon understands the other party's eager mood very well.

Longka is the fiefdom of Lohark, and this originally small village is about to be upgraded into the prototype of a castle. As a military householder, how could Lohark not be excited.

That kid may not necessarily care about the value of the territory change. He probably just thinks that having a fortress is particularly majestic.

Well, Leon also feels the same way. As a human being in his previous life, he felt uncomfortable even after buying a medium-sized water-resistant mud box. Perhaps it was due to the territorial awareness buried deep in the male heart.

He just doesn’t know when he will be able to build a fortress in Selva. Anyway, when there is no actual demand like Longka, he really is not willing to spend money to mess around. In the plan, when Longka is done, he will go to Selva. It is a rare and luxurious idea to build a big house in Silva to accommodate everyone around you.

Back in the big house, Olivia was nowhere to be seen, only Azarian holding the paperwork was about to go out, and Leon said hello to his companions.

Azerien responded, but after thinking about it, he suddenly stopped at the door where he planned to check the warehouse.

"Leon, are you okay? Do you have time to chat?"

Upon hearing this, Leon nodded, pulled out his chair and sat down: "Okay? What's the matter?"

Azarian looked at the guards outside the door and ordered them to guard the courtyard door. Then the noble son closed the door of the house tightly and ran to close every window in the hall.

"What's wrong? So mysterious?" Leon asked him.

After sealing the hall, Azarian pulled up a chair with a serious face and sat down in front of Leon.

"Did Katniss really get assassinated that night?" The noble son endured uncontrollable excitement and asked as calmly as possible.

Within Lonka, the only people who know about the assassination of Katniss are currently except for the six guards including Leon, Olivia, and Zabroun, and the three guards in Lonka who now eat and live with the guards. Apart from the soldiers, there was Azerion in front of him, and even Rohark didn't know about it yet.

And almost the moment his partner spoke.

Leon then understood the true meaning of the other party's question.

Because a few days ago, after successfully summoning Canis, a relatively ordinary mortal, he had thought about this problem.

Because of this, Leon now describes Ms. Avroth's magic as a "miracle" in his heart.

Nodding slightly, Leon admitted the other party's guess: "I know what you want to say, that's it, I resurrected Canis in another form, so don't worry, I will try my best to help you. And Luo The same goes for Huck’s family, but don’t tell him yet. I’m afraid I’ll give him too many hopes and illusions. If he fails in the future, the blow will be even more unbearable.”

Listening to Leon's promise, Azarian's lips trembled slightly, and his handsome eyebrows turned red.

The aristocratic young man reached out and grabbed his partner's arms, and opened his mouth. He was excited but didn't know what words of gratitude to say.

At this moment, everything seems so pale.

Leon saw that his good brother's demeanor was no longer as gentle as usual, and then he remembered that the always calm son of a nobleman in front of him was slightly younger than his own body, and would not reach the threshold of seventeen years old until the second half of the year. Right now Still a sixteen-year-old boy.

"Oh, I didn't mention it to you because I was afraid that you would place too much hope in this power. If you want to use this magic to bring back the dead, it's not that simple."

Leon explained: "First of all, it would be best to find the remains of your relatives, but after such a long time, the hope is very slim. If the remains cannot be found, we can only use the relics that best represent the traces of their existence. Tried it.”

Azarian took a deep breath, remembered his partner's words in his heart, and nodded vigorously.

"Secondly, to cast that kind of magic, you need to use a lot of special materials. I have a list. Let's go back and study where we can collect and buy those things."

After saying that, Leon sighed, and finally gave the other party another vaccination.

"Also, whether you understand it or not, I want to make it clear to you in advance that this magic is far from omnipotent. It was originally used to summon a great magician who was famous in history."

Leon did not explain in detail. He only briefly introduced the details of Aphrodite's attempt to resurrect Laura and continued:

"Whether the magic can succeed may have a lot to do with the identity of the target in his lifetime and the obsession of the dead soul.

Therefore, even for a powerful knight like Cannis who has a certain reputation and died with hatred, the possibility of failure of this spell is still very high. I was able to succeed this time, which may be just pure luck.

As a noble of the Holy Land City, your father should have a certain chance if he has enough reputation. If he died bravely and left enough reputation in other people's mouths, the chance would be even greater.

But your other relatives, as well as ordinary people like "me" and Lohak's parents. Even if the preparations for casting the spell are sufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. It is difficult to find their souls in the "Dead Sea", that is, the underworld. "

Azerien listened silently, looked at his partner with burning eyes and said: "Leon, whether it can be done or not, I will not blame you at all. You are willing to use this miraculous power to help me and give me a one-tenth chance to save my family. I have no way to repay you. "

"We have stumbled to this day by helping each other. If we still thank each other now, it will make me too sad. "Leon, in turn, reached out and patted his brother's shoulder: "Let's solve the dispute with the Gunnar family first, and then, we will find a way to go back to Rolandar. "

"Yes." Azerien slowly calmed down: "Go back to Rolandar!"

After leaving the big house, Leon walked around Longka and learned where the girl went from the patrolling soldiers.

He left the wall along the west gate and walked to the river bank on the north side of the Longka West Slope Arrow Tower, and finally saw Olivia, and Corvis was there too.

The blond boy sat with his legs hugged under the shade of the tree to rest. The little griffin stumbled and frolicked around his feet, flapping its fluffy wings and crawling around the boy's boots. The vast world outside, which was far beyond the bedroom space, not only did not scare the griffin cub, but made the little guy particularly excited.

Not far in front of Corvis's vision, Olivia, wearing a corset, galloped on her horse, holding a long-bladed lance that looked like a horse lance, running around two rows of upright wooden stakes, training her "immature" horseback martial arts.

Of course, this definition of immaturity was Olivia's own evaluation of herself.

According to the girl, she had just gotten used to wielding weapons on horseback, and had not yet fully learned to use the warhorse to help her fight together.

Leon probably understood what his lover wanted to say, but unfortunately, he was just learning from the girl, and now he had barely mastered some "skills", far from the realm of "Tao" that the other party was trying to explore now.

Walking under the tree, he quietly sat down beside Corvis, hugged his knees, and admired the heroic figure of the Golden Lion Knight with the boy.

As he watched, his heart was filled with happiness and pride.

Look, are you envious? My wife.

But as he watched, perhaps because of the conversation with Azerien, he couldn't help but think of Olivia's biological parents.

The father of his lover, the previous King of Orland, he certainly couldn't get the body and relics at the moment.

But if I remember correctly, Uncle Brian said that the body of Olivia's mother seemed to be buried in a secluded cemetery in Selva.

Olivia.

Would she want to resurrect her mother and see her again?
