The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

Chapter 13: Charles' day

Before the sun rose, Charles got up.

Last night, the two returned to Sumi City in the light of fireflies on the grassland. Originally, Charles wanted to go back to the hotel, but the front desk said that the caravan did not prepare a room for him.

He didn't wake Hongye, who was pretending to be sleeping. After he dressed himself, he went downstairs with a backpack.

Aunt Coriander had already woken up and finished her daily divination every morning. When Charles put on a mask and pushed the door open, Aunt Coriander was writing the daily weather in the northern grasslands on the blackboard beside the door.

Aunt Coriander didn't say anything to Charles, but just put a bag with the scent of croissants into his hand, and told him to come home early next year.

Charles left Lavender Street under the watch of coriander and the red leaves behind the second-floor window.

The road on the grassland is smooth and straight. The draught horses, who had been fed and recharged for several days, pulled the wagon forward at a speed of about ten kilometers per hour.

This speed is the result of comprehensive consideration of road conditions, horsepower and distance, so that running down will not cause damage to the horse, but also guarantee the time to reach the next stop.

If it was faster, Aubrey, who was careful about the cost of using horses, would not agree, nor would Charles, who was running behind the team.

From the day she left Corn City, Elizabeth, who was busy with the caravan, began to educate Charles.

No matter what career Charles pursues in the future, a strong physique is a must.

Not to mention the warrior, even if it is a magician, if he is exhausted and breathless after walking in the wild for a long time, all that awaits him is the fate of being abandoned.

The most important thing is that your body is not strong enough. When escaping, take a step slowly, then take the lunch directly. There is no resurrection magic in this world. If you die, you will really die.

Therefore, every morning now, Charles has to run behind the team for half an hour to exercise.

When Elizabeth, who was following behind, felt that Charles's movement was enough, she immediately raised his belt and lifted him onto the horse's back before catching up with the team.

After the exercise, Charles' morning course was to learn Elvish language, because all Elizabeth had mastered was the knowledge of the Elvish family. If she did not know Elvish language, it would be extremely difficult to learn.

However, this teaching task was contracted by Halcala.

The two of them had already reached an agreement on the distribution of the two magic crystals that they "purchased" that day. Both of them were cut in half, and then everyone had half fire and half water magic crystals.

After Charles initially mastered the Elvish language, Elizabeth will help Hal Kara to inscribe a high-level magic circle on her magic crystal.

Charles had to sigh with emotion that those guys with gold fingers were really rich, and he could take out two magic crystals worth thousands of gold coins by biting his teeth, but he only picked up one magic core worth one or two gold coins.

After hearing that the guy had all his property confiscated, the manager of Sumi City almost dislocated his jaw with laughter.

Then Charles thought of his own enemy again. This product was more generous, and the storage ring could be given away. Before killing him, he couldn't think of a way to kill him a little more.

Fortunately, there is a mask to block it, otherwise Halcala will definitely lose his head if he finds that Charles is distracted.

Haalkala, who is usually a little confused, is still quite strict when she gets serious.

Now Charles is learning the number words in Elvish. Although the traversers brought Arabic numerals, in official documents and bills, numeral words play a role similar to the "capital amount" in the previous life.

Luckily, the numbers in Elvish are similar to English rather than French, and Charles thinks he'll be able to master them in two days.

In the afternoon, Charles began to learn to ride a horse.

When Elizabeth was in Corn City, she bought him a young mare that was just ready to ride, and fitted it with harnesses.

After the noon break every day, Charles rode on the pony he named Twilight.

While on the road, Elizabeth will test the content of his morning lectures in Halcala.

"1096"

"894"

"7355608"

"9876547210.33"

Every time Elizabeth gave a number, Charles would immediately say the number in Elvish.

When there is still more than an hour before sunset, the convoy will leave the road and set up camp on the grassland.

The coachman surrounded the twenty carriages in a circle, and then gathered all the draw horses in the center of the formation, and the guard's horses were tied to the outside of the draw horses. If necessary, the **** will take the initiative to launch a counter-charge.

Unless it was some kind of powerful beast that came, ordinary wolves on the grasslands would not last longer than slimes in front of the cavalry led by elves.

If there are no streams or rivers nearby, the guards will find a place with lush weeds outside the car array and blow up a well. Then they would blow up two more pits farther downwind from the convoy, and then put up curtains to use as toilets.

The water element is a magical element that exhibits the properties of water, not a water molecule. It can be used as boiling water in the short term, such as putting out a fire, brushing a pot, and drowning an animal, but it cannot be used for drinking.

The water element generally coexists with water—whether it is liquid water or water vapor—so the mage rubs water simply by gathering the water element to gather the water vapor in the air. They do not produce water, they are just water porters.

When the team was settled, Charles began to help Tony prepare the daily food.

The coachmen would take turns helping Tonio to prepare dinner every day.

"A day's worth of oats, a day's worth of bacon, a day's worth of salt." Charles shouted the ingredients for tonight's dinner while recording on the parchment.

In order to facilitate the calculation, all kinds of ingredients will be packaged according to the amount of one day when loading.

Using his father's wisdom, Charles made a table with the type of ingredients in the horizontal row and the date in the column. The number of servings consumed every day is recorded.

When he took this form to ask Aubrey for instructions, Aubrey said that I don't care how you write it down, as long as the total is correct at the end of the month.

Charles gave Aubrey a compliment in his heart, and he did the same thing in his previous life when he was a project manager. Then in the first month, a leading relative who was in charge of material procurement with chaotic finances and accounting was successfully kicked out of the project department.

Just when everyone was about to move the ingredients to the pot, a female elf in the **** came over with two corbels.

There are four elves in the escort, Horatio, George, Galatia and Penelope. Horatio and George are cousins, and Galatia and Penelope are twin sisters. All four of them came to help Elizabeth.

It was Penelope who came with the corbel. She said to Antonio, "I'll share all the snacks I got today. Just give me more meat later."

If the **** can catch prey when patrolling around, it means that everyone can eat dinner at night. Apparently Penelope killed a bison today, because it was inconvenient to carry, and could use other parts of the bison.

Although the prey caught by the guards belonged to them, they could eat it by themselves, and if they couldn't finish it, they could throw it away, but everyone kept a little of the prey and divided them up.

Tonyo looked at the two beef shanks, and said, "No problem. You can still drink beef bone soup tomorrow morning. It's better to find some wild vegetables when you patrol tomorrow."

The main food for dinner in the caravan is brown bread or oatmeal, or corn porridge, depending on what is on the truck.

When eating black bread, a large pot of soup is boiled. The soup is mainly a variety of seasonal wild vegetables or wild fruits. Vegetables are difficult to preserve for a long time, so caravans basically eat them on the same day they are picked in the wild. Generally, soups are made when there are enough wild vegetables.

In porridge and soup, bacon pieces are usually put. Tonio cuts a fixed amount of bacon into uniform pieces every day, and he also has a unique skill of scooping the same number of pieces into everyone's bowl. That's what Aubrey wanted him to be in charge of the diet, which would minimize the conflict caused by diet on the team.

The coachmen on duty to help have built two stoves and are now pouring water into the pot.

A stove is for cooking, and the other is for boiling water.

It is the basic common sense to live in the wild that it is forbidden to drink raw water and eat raw meat in the wild. Everyone in the caravan has one or several kettles in the car, and every night is filled with fresh, cold boiled water. UU reading www. uukanshu. In the entire caravan, only those horses drink raw water.

The pot for cooking and boiling water was not as big as the pot that made the potion that day, and Charles would have to curl up if he wanted to go in.

These pots are usually placed in Aubrey's storage ring, and they are taken out when needed.

In this world, magic is easy to learn but difficult to master. Basically, an adult can throw one or two small fireballs, water balls, or create a gust of wind.

Some coachmen threw fireballs on the wood to start the fire, while others threw fireballs into the pot to make the water heat up faster.

After the water has boiled for a few minutes, someone will throw a puck in it to cool it down. After everyone outside filled a kettle, they burned another pot.

The two kitchen knives in Tonio's hands flew up and down over there, and he quickly cut the meat on the bacon strips and the beef shank into evenly small pieces.

By the time the others had set up their tents the sun had gone down and the scent of oatmeal wafted over the convoy camp.

The fragrance drifted into the distance with the wind on the grassland. After a while, several wolf howls came from afar.

Galatia, who was sitting across from Charles, put down the bowl in her hand with a blank expression, and then picked up the longbow beside her.

She looked up at the direction and speed of the smoke rising from the stove where the water was boiling, and then shot several arrows towards the sky one after another.

For a moment, the wolf howling in the distance stopped abruptly.

Charles looked at Galatia with gleaming eyes, and the sound of his voice and his sight were so handsome.

Noticing Charles' gaze, Galatia asked him, "Want to learn?"

Charles immediately said, "I want to!"

So Galatia said, "Then you have to learn mathematics, physics and wind magic first."
