Chapter 73 Can it be eaten?
As soon as he saw her look, Raven couldn't help but laugh.
Lux wore a light yellow woolen winter coat, which was extremely thick. The cuffs and neckline were decorated with cotton, and she also wore a cotton ear cap on her head.
Especially because she was also carrying a slightly bloated leather shoulder bag. The strap of the bag stretched diagonally from her right shoulder to her left waist. It looked like a simple human-shaped gift box.
Lux took off her earmuffs and her eyes fell on the desk: "Why are you eating dinner now?"
"I've been busy for a while today and forgot about time." Raven stood up with a smile and looked behind Lux: "Petty, pack up."
"No, we are going to Bloody Highlands soon, don't eat well No." Lux said seriously.
As she said that, she sat on the chair, lowered her head, placed her hands neatly on her knees, but her legs were swaying, not knowing what she was thinking.
Raven's attention was immediately drawn, staring at the cute pair of round-toed shoes.
Feeling Raven's gaze, Lux raised her head and shrank her feet: "You are so weird. Why are you always staring at other people's feet? Can it be eaten?"
< br>
"You can't say for sure. How would you know if you don't try it?" Raven responded subconsciously.
Lacus's face suddenly turned red and she said angrily: "Raven!"
"Just a joke." Raven smiled, coughed and said, "You seem to have something. What's on your mind?"
"No!" Lux turned away and looked at Raven's bookcase.
“Really not?”
Lux didn't speak.
“Really not??”
Raven’s voice got closer and closer.
Lux still said nothing.
“Really, no???”
As these words came out, Raven's face appeared in front of Lux, so close that even his eyelashes could be seen clearly.
“Yeah!” Lux was startled and quickly shrank back. She immediately lost her balance in the chair and was about to fall to the ground.
At this moment, with a snap, Raven's hand held the back of the chair and fixed the chair.
Looking at Raven's face, which was so close, Lux felt her cheeks heat up, and her aqua eyes widened, like a frightened deer.
“Are you going to say it now?” A rare relaxed smile appeared on Raven’s face, and he winked: “If you don’t say it, I will let go?”
"You... put the chair down first." Lux twitched the tip of her red nose and murmured.
With a thud, the chair lay flat on the ground, and Lux immediately jumped down from it, as if she was afraid that Raven would lift it up again.
She patted her chest and said: "Before coming, I prayed to the Lord of Light, wanting to have a glimpse of your future destiny..."
Lei Wen heard this in his heart A move.
There is no god of destiny on the continent of Middles, but the priests of each church claim that their main god can see the flow of the river of destiny, and the Holy See of Light is no exception.
For this reason, the Holy See has a ritual dedicated to praying to the Lord of Light for guidance. This process is also called supplication.
The more popular name is divination.
Although he did not believe that the so-called gods were so powerful, Raven was still a little curious: "What was the result?"
"...I can't say." Lux shook her head. , raised her head again and said seriously: "I just hope that you will be more cautious this time."
She emphasized the word "cautious", and was afraid that she could not speak clearly, so she added: "The most Let’s think about it from the beginning, whether it is ‘necessary’ to attack the Bloody Highlands.”
Hearing this, Raven knew that she must not have gotten any good results from this divination, but Raven had never believed in the so-called fate.
It all depends on people.
He said with a smile: "Well, I know, I will be very careful this time when attacking the Bloody Highlands."
Seeing that Raven had no intention of giving up, Lux had something in her eyes. Disappointed, but not very surprised.
She tilted her head and took off the shoulder bag from her waist, and handed it to Raven: "No, here you go."
"Is this...?" Raven took the bag and opened it. He was stunned for a moment, and then a warm feeling came to his heart.
There were eight primary healing potions inside.
Unlike the "red pills" found in ordinary online games, any adventurer has a lot of them in his pocket and can drink them like sugar water.
The unit price of primary treatment potion is as high as five gold coins.
And because the shelf life is quite limited, from production to consumption, the medicinal effect can only be preserved for up to half a year, so the supply has never been large, and there are not many merchants with the ability to produce and resell it. Only in Meng'en City It can only be sold in such a big place, but you can't find it in Goldshire. Therefore, although its price is usually stable, it will rise sharply when there is a war. When Raven was about to buy it a month ago, its price had already soared to 11.2 gold coins per bottle, and it only accepted reservations. There was no stock at all, so Raven had to give up ordering.
There is no doubt about the role of primary treatment medicine. As long as it is not a fatal injury, it can turn serious injuries into minor injuries, and minor injuries into no injuries.
Eight primary healing potions mean eight chances to escape death.
Thinking of this, Raven suddenly felt that his originally light backpack became heavy: "These potions are difficult to buy, how many gold coins did they cost in total?"
"You don't have to worry about it. "Since Raven did not follow his own advice, Lux's words were obviously a little emotional: "I am a priest anyway, so it is always easier to get healing potions."
Raven scratched his nose, and the warmth in his heart became stronger, accompanied by a feeling of guilt.
During this period of time, I was busy preparing for the war and rarely visited Lux. Because I didn’t want to worry her, I never revealed my plan to her.
But Lux always paid attention to herself.
These healing potions were not prepared just today. Maybe she had already had a premonition that she would make a big move, and had long been aware of her abnormality.
"Thank you." Raven looked into Lux's eyes, his voice was soft and sincere.
"Is there anything I can thank you for..." Lacus twirled her fingers around her golden hair, her face turned slightly red, and she glanced to the side: "You don't want to listen to me. It's already pretty good if you don't make me angry."< br>
Leaven rubbed his nose slightly embarrassed.
Lacus also knew that Raven had his own judgment, so she sighed and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, just finish your food quickly."
With that said Put on your ear cap and walk out the door.
"I'll see you off." Raven grabbed his coat and escorted Lux to the gate of Eagle Castle.
Back in the study, Raven sat in front of the table, staring blankly at the leather bag left by Lux. He grabbed it and sniffed it, and a faint scent of jasmine penetrated his nostrils.
Lux is indeed a very special girl.
Unlike Denise, although this aunt is also very helpful to her career, it is more like a business cooperation.
Unlike Nancy, that unruly young lady gave herself a lot of money and second-level magic, but in the final analysis it was still for herself.
Not even Petty. Although this maid is flattering to her, it is still because of the gap in status between the two. As the saying goes, "the concubine who loves me is afraid of me."
Only Lacus helped her without asking for anything in return, without any entanglement of interests.
If it weren’t for her, Angel Tears wouldn’t have been able to gain fame in such a short time.
Being able to become a mage is inseparable from her help and advice, not to mention her initiative to teach him Elvish.
Perhaps the reason why she proposed that bet at that time was to make her journey as a mage smoother.
In addition to today, these eight bottles of healing potions can be called life-saving medicine.
If only she were my wife.
"What a pity, what a pity..." Raven shook his head and sighed, dismissing this thought from his mind.
If Raven still had some unreasonable thoughts about Lux when they first came into contact, then after a long period of getting along, he really only regarded Lux as his sister, or rather He can only regard her as his sister.
There are three reasons.
First of all, Lux is a serious priest. If he really tries to take advantage of the Lord of Light, Raven will definitely be burned at the stake.
Second, her master, Crouch, is a seventh-level great magician! If he had seduced the apprentice of this strong man, the ending of the burning rack might be a bit more "happy", at least he would die happily.
Thirdly, it is because Lux is too simple and kind. Raven really does not want to tarnish this pure flower, but wants to protect her and watch her bloom gracefully.
"I can't give you happiness, but at least I have to keep you safe." Raven whispered, holding the bag tightly.
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water, not to mention the kindness of Lacus.
But the premise is that he can return safely from the bloody highlands.
His eyes became clear, Raven put the leather bag into the space belt, and hurriedly finished the somewhat cold dinner.
Like every day before, he read for a while and then started meditating again.
One meditation is not enough to make Raven's strength leap forward, but the more important events he faces, the more he must maintain his own pace.
Those who can keep their own rhythm can go further in life.
The next day, the sky was overcast and the north wind was howling.
