Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

The two men made way to give Efit enough space, and then let Efit try.

Efit lay prone on the ground with his hips raised, carefully observing the heating rune drawn by Alisa, and then carefully reproducing it on the ground next to him.

Since it was a reproduction, Efit drew very slowly and took much longer than Elisa, but in the end, an almost identical rune appeared under Efit's pen.

After the rune was drawn, Lind immediately reached out and touched it impatiently.

"Ah!" Then he screamed because of the burn.

Chapter 84: You are breaking the law, do you know that?

As Linde cried out in pain, Alyssa felt like she was going crazy.

She pushed Lind away, looked at the rune in front of her with an incredible expression, and touched it carefully with her hand.

It is hot indeed.

This rune succeeded.

"How is it? Was it successful?" Efit looked at Elisa in front of him with a smile.

"It actually worked..." Alyssa's face was filled with disbelief. This rune really works.

Unwilling to give up, Alisa injected magic power into it, and the temperature of the ground near the rune rose noticeably.

Although it was unbelievable, Alyssa could only admit that this rune was really successful.

A magic rune drawn by a commoner who is not a magician can actually be used! ?

Wait a moment……

"Are you a hidden magician? Are you deliberately trapping me here?" Elisa thought of a possibility and grabbed Efit's shoulders tightly.

"No, no, no, I'm not a magician, and I don't know anything about magic. It's not taught in church schools." Efit denied it flatly. "If you don't believe it, you can find a way to check it out."

Alisa, who felt her worldview was challenged, immediately ran to the table, tore a page from Lind's notebook, picked up a pen and started writing.

"Master, are you okay?" After Elisa left, Efit also stood up and asked with concern about Lind's condition.

"It's okay, it's just a burn." Lind waved his burned index finger and said, "Just rinse it with cold water."

Burns should first be cooled down quickly with cold water, and then further treatment should be taken depending on the situation. For such minor burns, just be careful to avoid infection.

He looked around for clean water, and then Lind felt his index finger being wrapped by a gentle feeling.

Under Lind's dull gaze, Efit held Lind's index finger in his mouth.

"The elders said that saliva can disinfect." After holding it in his mouth for a while, Efit gently spit out Lind's finger. "There is no cold water here, so I can only use this instead."

After saying that, Efit looked at Lind with a smile.

In an instant, Linde felt like his heart was hit by something.

"Alright, alright!" Just when the atmosphere was a little weird and ambiguous, Alyssa finished writing her work and ran back. "You...what happened just now?"

"Nothing." Linde put his hands behind his back feeling guilty.

Looking at the two of them with some suspicion, Alyssa instinctively felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, especially the look in Efit's eyes, as if she had won.

What did you win?

"You, take this." Alisa handed the paper with the runes drawn on it to Efit. "Take it. If you have magic power in your body, no matter how weak it is, it will react."

"The earth sags, the fire cracks, the wind tears, the water wets, you try it."

As she spoke with a strong sense of déjà vu, Elisa handed the paper on her finger to Efit. There was a rune drawn on it. Lind remembered this rune. It was the magic aptitude test rune he used on his sixth birthday.

"What if it was other attributes?" Lind suddenly thought of Zexi. That guy was a shadow-attribute magician, and magic didn't just have the four attributes of earth, fire, wind and water.

"If that happens, there will be all kinds of strange changes." Alisa thought about it. "I don't know exactly what it will be, but when I was in school, there was a classmate whose attribute was lightning, just like the one in the sky, it was scary, and her reaction was to release lightning."

While talking, Efit took the paper handed over by Alisa, and then...

It got a little damper.

"Water attribute?" Alyssa frowned. "The magic power is very weak, so weak that it can be almost ignored."

"Well, can a magician hide his magic power?" Lind asked curiously.

"It's possible, but it's impossible to hide it to this extent." Elisa took the paper back. In her hand, the paper drooped, cracked, torn, and became wet, and finally broke and fell to the ground.

"The rune is fine..." Seeing the changes on the paper, Alisa looked at Efit in disbelief. "It's unbelievable that he actually drew a magic rune..."

"Try this!" Elisa, who didn't believe it, immediately drew a new rune and asked Efit to verify it.

Soon, Alisa drew another rune on the ground, this time it was the wind-type point-level rune Breath. Soon, the new rune was drawn, and at the moment of success, a gust of wind blew away from the rune.

This rune is also convenient for verification. Once successful, it can be determined immediately. Unlike the fire heating just now, the temperature will drop after a while.

After the rune was drawn, Alyssa immediately couldn't wait to have Efit reappear, and then ten minutes later, a breeze blew from under Efit's hands.

"It's really unbelievable!" After being confronted with such ironclad reality twice in a row, Alyssa sat down on the ground with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Haven't you ever tried to let non-magicians copy runes before?" Lind asked.

"No." Alyssa shook her head blankly. "At least I have never heard of asking non-magicians or even civilians to draw magic runes."

"There is a rule that prohibits anyone from teaching anyone magic-related knowledge without permission." Then, Elisa added, "There is such a rule in the laws of the Holy Empire."

In the Holy Empire, there are strict regulations for the learning and teaching of magic. It can be either an official magic school, or an internal inheritance within each family, or an independent wizard taking in apprentices. No matter which one, it must be registered with the official.

In addition, all magic learning activities are illegal. Once discovered, both students and teachers will be escorted to the Golden Throne and sacrificed to the God-Emperor.

The official reason for such strict laws is to prevent uncontrolled magical research from attracting the attention of evil gods and leading to disasters.

In addition, the officials of the Holy Empire will regularly conduct magical aptitude tests on all non-noble minors in the territory. Once anyone is found to have magical aptitude, they will all be admitted to the Imperial Magic School on a mandatory basis.

Outside the tent, it was getting dark. Ilfa stood outside the tent, listening to the conversation between three minors, including his daughter.

The former Saint of the God of Magic had a complicated expression at this moment. According to the laws of the empire, both her daughter and the serf who brewed bootleg liquor would end up dead. The Holy Empire had always had zero tolerance for unapproved magic education.

but……

After hesitating for a long time, Ilufa did not immediately go in to stop his daughter's illegal behavior.

Chapter 85 Food Crisis

In the sixth dream of a future tavern, three boys and girls were discussing something about magic enthusiastically.

Among these three people, only one is a triangle-level magic apprentice, and the other two are a knight's squire and a civilian who has received some basic education in a church school. There is a huge difference in their professional expertise, but the discussion among the three is still heated.

At first, as the only magic apprentice among the three, Elisa thought this was a one-man show, but it soon turned into a performance by three people.

Lind raised questions that Elisa had never thought about before, and after discovering that he could reproduce it, Efit became interested and no longer served as a mere background board.

Civilians who are not magicians can really reproduce usable magic runes.

"Haven't you ever thought about this question before?" Looking at the shocked Elisa, Lind asked curiously.

"No..." Alyssa shook her head honestly. Alyssa was very surprised that Efit could reproduce two magic runes in a row, even if they were the lowest level point runes. "The teachers at school never talked about this problem."

"The question is whether the runes drawn by civilians can be used."

The runes that other magicians drew successfully can be used directly, but no one thought of letting civilians without magic power try it? Linde felt a little puzzled. Such a simple question, with so many people and so many magicians in the Holy Empire, didn't anyone think of it?

Then, Lind thought of the law of the Holy Empire, which prohibited anyone from teaching anyone magic-related knowledge without approval.

As a country with a civilization level equivalent to that of the late Middle Ages, the laws that could be effectively enforced by all lords in the empire were very limited. Each lord governed independently and enjoyed a very high degree of autonomy, and even the right to mint coins was not unified. Such a divided country, however, reached a high degree of unity on this law of magic and enforced it thoroughly.

The official explanation is that this is to avoid attracting the attention of the evil god, but...

Lind thought of another possibility.

According to the laws of the empire, at this moment, everyone in this tent would be dragged to the Golden Throne and sacrificed to the God-Emperor. Linde didn't know how the sacrifice would be done.

But looking at Elisa's excitement, this little girl probably didn't realize that she had broken the law, right?

Outside the tent, Elisa's mother, Ilufa, eavesdropped on the heated discussion in the tent with a complicated expression. As the former saint of the God of Magic, Ilufa knew very well how serious her daughter's behavior was. As a mother and a noble of the empire, Ilufa should have gone in immediately to stop their behavior, but...

"Anyway, this is not the empire..." Ilfa looked up at the sky and said to himself.

After confirming that people who didn't know magic could also draw usable magic seals, Lind asked some more questions, such as the criteria for judging different levels of magic, the material requirements for drawing magic runes, etc., and he asked questions until late at night.

The three of them were in high spirits and chatted so much that they forgot the time. Finally, Ilufa outside the tent couldn't stand it anymore, so she pretended to be a mother looking for her daughter and scolded Alisa back.

After saying goodbye to Efit, Lind also returned to his tent. Walking on the road, Lind was thinking about how to maximize the effect of magic. If he took the normal technology tree time, it would take too long, and he would definitely not see the black silk until he died, but with magic, the situation seemed to have turned around.

Without talking about other things for now, just based on the four point-level runes that Alisa demonstrated today, weight increase, heating, breath blowing, and humidity, Lind has already thought of some possible scenarios.

Many magicians pursue complex runes with powerful powers. In fact, the complexity of magic runes is proportional to the strength of magic. But in Lind's opinion, these simple runes that high-level magicians look down upon can also exert powerful power.

Especially since they are simple enough for the average person to draw.

Back in the tent, the three new beastmen were awake, waiting for Lind to come back. When they saw Lind coming back, little Schnee immediately jumped up and hugged him tightly.

After a few simple words, everyone prepared to go to bed. Before going to bed, Linde reviewed today's gains in his mind again, and then closed his eyes.

Then as expected, I had another dream.

This time, the dream was a deep blue, like a dazzling galaxy, and I was in the center of the galaxy. Every star in the galaxy around me was constantly changing, and a sound that was changing every moment was echoing in the galaxy.

"I have the knowledge you desire, if you will only..."

"Oh, yes, yes," Lind said casually, then ignored the voice and continued to sleep.

These gods are like the sticky tape on your fingers. You can’t get rid of them. It’s so annoying.

There was no conversation that night. As usual, Lind woke up from chest tightness again. No facial cleanser today because Katie was holding her.

Although she has never been pregnant, Kitama needs to be milked every three days. This unique physiology is only possessed by the beastmen among the minotaurs who have the characteristics of cows. Therefore, although Katie is as broad-minded as her sister, she has no milk.

I guess just like humans, Katie will only have milk after giving birth.

And is there reproductive isolation between humans and new beastmen?

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered for the time being. I once asked Thrall indirectly, but Thrall looked at Lind kindly and made Lind retreat with his eyes.

This issue is very important to Linde and is directly related to whether Linde should find a way to produce rubber or similar things first.

Pulling it out of Katie's body, he tiptoed away. Little Schnee had disappeared, and had gone hunting again. Logically, since the Chaos Beastmen were coming here in waves, hunting should be stopped for a while, but the problem was that the food problem of the entire camp was very serious, and hunting was necessary to maintain it.

When I walked out of the tent, I saw that there were already people moving around in the camp. Although there were not many people, it already felt like a village, and they were even planning to build a wooden house for the lord's mansion.

There was a shortage of everything in the camp now, except for wood, which was plentiful.

"Sir." Just then, a militiaman holding a spear ran over. "New beastmen are coming."

"Oh?" Linde was stunned. "What are you doing here?"

"Delivering food."

Linde was overjoyed when he heard this, because the most lacking thing in the camp now was food.

Following the militia to the camp entrance, Lind saw several new beastmen transporting goods...

There was also a group of ragged refugees.

"May the Mother Earth Goddess bless you." The new beastman who was leading the group stepped forward and saluted Linde. "Shaman Luge ordered us to bring you some food."

"And this group of refugees, we found on the road."

Chapter 86 Why not ask your mother?

Looking at the group of ragged, skinny refugees in front of him, Lind stared with dead eyes and an expressionless face.

Having population is of course a good thing, as strength lies in numbers. Right now the entire camp is extremely short of population, but the problem is that the population is coming at a time when food is scarce.

But there is also good news. Lu Ge sent someone to deliver another batch of food, which can at least alleviate the urgent need.

Since it had been delivered, Linde had no choice but to send someone to inform Ilufa, and a short while later, Ilufa came over, still yawning.

"You don't have to wake me up. You can handle it yourself." Walking to Linde, Ilufa said to Linde with a tired look on his face.

"That won't do. Approving refugees to enter the territory is a power only the lord has," Linde said seriously.

Although everything started over again after the capture of Dundalk City and the camp was built from scratch, in order to maintain order and make the people in the camp act according to orders, some previous rules had to be retained, such as a ruler.

At this moment, Ilufa is not only the Countess, but also the one who fought with the people until the last moment before the fall of Dundalk. In terms of both emotion and reason, she is the most suitable candidate.

He looked at Linde with admiration. The more they spent time together, the more Illufa liked this twelve-year-old boy. At the same time, the more he wanted to adopt him as his adopted son. Then, he would get engaged to Elisa, all in one go.

Calculating the time, Lind is twelve years old this year. According to the customs of the Holy Empire and even the entire human society, the earliest marriage age for men is sixteen, and for women is fourteen. Of course, there are many special cases in actual operation, such as a man having an illegitimate child with his maid at the age of fourteen...
