Chapter 62
Two days later, as before, Locke collected fruit and slaughtered the flood salt crab as their food. Now the urgent thing at noon is to restore strength and repair the injury.
Most of Locke's injuries are skin injuries. It looks scary. Under the influence of fighting spirit, most of them have been slowly repaired. Only two broken ribs in front of his chest are more serious. Fortunately, Locke hasn't seen any injuries in the war for so many years. He can connect his broken ribs with his hands, but it takes a long time for the bones to recover. Angelina can also walk freely. Unlike Locke, she can recover her body as long as she eats and runs. Angelina is the recovery of mental power. Without medicine, she can only meditate slowly. Angelina began meditating the day before yesterday, but now she has little effect.
"It's a pity that the dark blue potion I brought was left in the carriage, otherwise it must recover quickly." Angelina always complains after practice. "Or blue water is also good. Ah, just ask your tutor for a few bottles before you go."
Locke was surprised to hear that. He still couldn't compare. He didn't even know what the medicine looked like. Angelina drank it as water.
"What medicine am I suitable for?" Locke asked Angelina.
Angelina looked at Locke and thought for a while, "Knight ~, I don't recommend disposable physical medicine and anger medicine. For those with sequelae, Johnson medicine is good, and will refining medicine is also good. It's more suitable for you who have just started." Angelina said several drug names that Locke had never heard of.
"What about the red sand potion?" This is one of the potions that uncle yoshak once told him that the military headquarters of the eagle Legion can exchange military skills. It is also a popular potion, which is suitable for middle and lower NCOs with few military skills.
"Red sand medicine? I haven't heard of it. What's it for?" Angelina wondered how there could be a potion he hadn't heard of.
"It is said that after use, it can enhance strength and resistance for a while." Locke honestly replied that strength and resistance are the most important means on the battlefield. If you can enhance one point, it means more hope for survival. No wonder the bottom NCOs choose this medicine.
"Why do I sound like Johnson's Potion?" Angelina said, "but Johnson potion permanently increases some strength and tenacity."
Like this kind of medicine that can permanently increase its attributes by moving his mouth, Locke doesn't need to think about it. He also knows its treasures, which he can't expect.
"When we get back alive, I'll ask my brother to give you a lot of medicine, enough to pile you up to the middle-level attendants." Angelina said playfully. The middle-level attendant is two levels away from Locke. Besides, he has just reached the entry-level attendant. Not long ago, it is too far away for Locke to imagine.
Since they know that there may be an evolved demonized creature of flood salt crab around them, it is inevitable to leave. Locke slaughtered so many people of the crab. The crab hasn't come out to find Locke. It's probably what Angelina said. It's hibernating. But they decided to leave here as soon as the injury and strength recovered. Who knows if the crab will suddenly wake up from hibernation and trouble them. Always under the hidden danger, they can't sleep well.
When it comes to sleep, it's interesting that Locke hasn't continued to weave since he finished weaving the turf. They still sleep close to each other every night. Of course, Locke doesn't dare to stretch out the salty pig's hand. After all, Angelina was still in a coma before. Now people are awake. Locke never forgets that she is a princess. Of course, Locke doesn't care what happens after falling asleep. Several times Locke wakes up in the middle of the night and finds that either her hand is around Angelina's waist or Angelina is holding Locke's arm.
Angelina once blushed and asked shyly, "why don't you knit a quilt?"
"There's no time to find food and recover from the injury." Locke's innocent answer.
Angelina gritted her teeth and stared at Locke, but she could only accept it.
These days, Locke has made several more kettles. Although there is no water shortage in the forest, Locke is ready to bring enough fresh water just in case. As for food, Locke has caught all the flood salt crabs on the sandy beach around the salt lake, and has harvested a full eight. Locke peeled and cramped them, poured a layer of salt lake water, and threw stones to dry at the peak of the sun every noon. He planned to make them all into bacon. It's easy to preserve and won't rot easily. Locke said to Angelina that Angelina, who was well dressed and well fed since childhood, had never heard of any bacon, let alone eaten it. She was curious and interesting about this strange practice.
Locke noticed when he was pickling bacon that most of what they ate these days were flood salt crabs. The crab meat of this kind of crabs had a strong salt flavor, which added to their salt. If they went out later, where would they eat salt when the crab meat was finished? No salt meant they had no strength. Locke finally decided to fill a kettle of salt water.
There is also the fruit, the white fruit that looks like grapes. Because it contains too much water, it is inconvenient to carry. Locke dried them. After the plump pulp evaporates the water, there is a thin layer left. Maybe the original taste of the fruit is very weak. This kind of dry fruit tastes flat after drying, but it is easy to carry Locke chose to recite a little because of the large number of features.
Locke's ragged coat had been torn off by him and made into a simple backpack containing their food and water. This backpack may be their hope to get out of the Bering mountains alive. Taking off his coat and only a vest and blouse on his upper body, Locke has the illusion of being frozen to death every morning. Fortunately, Angelina is a warm hand treasure.
Angelina's clothes are worn, but at least she can keep out the cold. Locke's physique is much better than Angelina. He feels cold. Even if Angelina is wearing clothes, she often wakes up at night.
No way, according to the time, it will be winter in half a month. The temperature difference between day and night is great at this time. Locke's bonfire will go out at midnight. Under the cold temperature, Locke can't light the bonfire again. In the past, the camp would wrap a layer of linen around the torch and pour oil on it. Where does Locke get grease now? Cloth is easy to say. He can't tear a trouser leg. Grease. In addition to the salt crab and the wolf, Locke has seen only birds flying in the sky.
A few days of life, Angelina learned a lot from Locke. At least she can sew her own broken clothes now. Angelina, as a princess, went to learn sewing skills. It seems that Angelina has grown a lot.
That evening, Locke came back from the forest. The white fruit in his arms was his harvest today. Angelina stepped forward to meet Locke. To tell the truth, every time Locke left, Angelina was always worried about what would happen to Locke. Waiting alone in the cave by the lake was the only thing Angelina could do. Fortunately, she could pass the time through meditation, otherwise she thought she would go crazy.
Angelina's happiest time these days is when Locke comes back. Finally, someone can talk with her. Although practicing magic is lonely, practicing magic is not autistic. Magicians are also people and need normal communication.
Today, Locke brought back a kind of red thumb sized fruit.
"After looking for so long, I found a new variety nearby. Can you see if it can be eaten?" Locke said to Angelina. Now the relationship between them is not between civilians and princesses, nor between superiors and subordinates. They are just two unlucky people who are linked by fate and live in the forest. They don't talk so scrupulously at the beginning, and sometimes make a joke.
Angelina held the hair on her ears and temples, took the fruit from Locke and observed it. Locke found many fruits these days, but without exception, they can't be eaten, or they will have side effects. Only Locke first found the kind of white fruit to eat.
Angelina frowned and observed for a long time before she said uncertainly, "it seems to be a spell casting material."
"Casting material?" Locke is very interested in this new term.
"Well, magicians sometimes need some materials to cast spells quickly. These materials are spell casting materials." Angelina introduced.
"Can this help you cast spells?" Locke looked at Angelina excitedly. He also knew the three magic of Angelina these two days and enjoyed a cleansing. The magic was really magical. Locke thought at that time.
"This is a fire cloud fruit with a slight fire element, which can help cast fire magic." Angelina said after recalling for a while. "My words, not yet." Angelina blushed. She's just an entry-level apprentice. She can do three magic tricks very well. Although lighting also has some fire magic, she can't use this kind of casting material at all.
"That should be very precious." Locke asked as soon as he changed his words. Now he is interested in goods and money to enhance his strength.
"Yes." Angelina nodded. There was nothing cheap about the magician's casting materials.
"Yes, yes..." Locke said, what he met today is a small forest with this kind of fruit. If you pick it back......
"Magical creatures usually inhabit around this magical plant. Don't you see it?" Angelina asked suspiciously. Although huoyunguo is not high-grade, it is at least a magical plant. Many magical creatures of fire and earth systems like to eat it.
"Well, No." Locke is dumb. "Won't it be hibernation again?" Locke guessed.
"It's possible that fire and earth Warcraft don't like winter. They usually hibernate." Angelina said. "It's close to the Murphy forest. It has strong magic. It can grow huoyunguo in winter. It usually matures in summer."
"It seems that we are lucky. The two demonized creatures we may meet have hibernated." Locke scratched his head.
"Yes." Angelina smiled.
"Can you eat this?" Locke stares at the collected huoyunguo and suddenly asks.
"Eat?" Angelina was stunned and replied uncertainly, "it should be OK."
