Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

Chapter 31 The Night Raid on Drock

The kale leaf has a texture similar to mint. As soon as it enters your mouth, a refreshing and invigorating aroma rushes to your mind, instantly energizing Roy.

He stared intently at the reflection on the metal sheet. After a moment, the value representing mental strength finally changed:

1.2→ 1.3.

Once the sweetness of the twelve cabbage leaves in his mouth had completely dissipated, Roy spat them out and replaced them with new leaves.

1.3→ 1.4.

Thus, the upper limit of cabbage leaves has been reached. All that remains is to eat blue bamboo shoots for nine days to maximize all the physical attributes.

Then, Roy took out the wooden sword he had seized from Brenda from his bag and carefully compared its weight with the iron sword he had forged himself.

To be fair, the wooden swords of the top ten masters were all of superior quality. The density of Dragon Roar wood is slightly lower than that of iron, but the thickness of the blades of the wooden swords made up for this shortcoming, so that the weight of the two was almost the same.

This means that once any of the top ten masters becomes a knight's squire and switches to using an iron sword, they can quickly get the hang of it.

Roy had previously used a wooden stick, but fortunately, he hadn't reached the level of muscle proficiency. Now, switching to a wooden sword, combined with the precise guidance of the Eye of True Sight, made his efforts twice as effective.

On that very day, his experience points in basic swordsmanship increased by leaps and bounds.

That night, he went to bed early, only to be woken up once again by his homemade "alarm clock".

Stepping onto the main road, with the stars twinkling in the sky, Roy was surprised to find that he didn't seem to need to turn on a lamp anymore.

With the ability to sense heat, he can see living things hidden in the dark.

From the field mice running between the ridges, whose body temperature was noticeably different from that of the outside world, to the flies and bedbugs hovering above the stinking ditches, there were also faint signals coming through.

Moreover, when your heel accidentally hits a protruding pebble and you are about to trip, an alarm will suddenly rise in your mind, and your toes will instinctively twist to avoid the danger.

This seems to be a benefit brought about by the improvement of mental attributes.

With this boost, he doesn't even need a light when walking at night; apart from being slightly slower in reaction time, there are no downsides.

"The animal oil lamp is still too smoky, and I know the way to the church by heart. I was a little afraid of encountering something in the dark before, but now..."

Roy simply abandoned the oil lamp and, like a night walker, blended into the darkness, heading towards the church.

The stone path echoed with the sound of stones colliding under his footsteps.

Taking a leisurely stroll on a quiet, cool autumn night should be a very pleasant experience.

until……

"What's going on?"

A wave of scorching heat suddenly washed over his skin; thanks to his thermal sensing ability, he was extremely sensitive to temperature.

"It's about three o'clock, about thirty meters away." Roy quickly determined the location, then found a clump of grass by the roadside and hid inside.

He discovered that the heat was still surging towards him, and as it approached, another, slightly weaker heat source appeared behind him.

Roy conducted tests and found that the thermal sensor could detect a human body up to forty meters away, while it could only detect insects like mosquitoes up to a few meters away.

In other words, these two creatures are very close to you.

"The shapes of these two heat sources are clearly humanoid, and they are moving very fast. The key is..."

He could hear the heavy footsteps of the two men, but his vision remained dim. The two men did not carry any lanterns and relied solely on their eyes and senses to easily evade the dangers on the stone path.

This ability is clearly true night vision, far superior to Roy's thermal imaging.

"The person in front has an abnormally strong thermal reaction, while the one behind is no different from a normal person..." Roy quickly matched the two figures with the two people in his memory.

"It really is you, Lucaón and Delock."

Lucaon, the name of the one with the bloodline of the Dragonfire Lizard, ranked third among the top ten masters. In terms of physique and strength, he was only slightly inferior to Delock.

Only someone with the bloodline of the Dragonfire Lizard could have a body temperature higher than that of an ordinary person. He might have just used the Spark, and the heat source reaction was extremely noticeable in Roy's vision.

At this moment, Lucaón was in a terrible state. By the faint light of the moon, Roy could clearly see the drops of blood dripping rapidly from his body.

Upon closer inspection, it was as if that once smooth and even face had been cleaved by a sharp sword, with most of the chin cut off!

Even his tongue was reduced to a small piece, which filled Lucaón with righteous indignation, but he could only let out a roar mixed with anger.

"If it's a Dragonfire Lizard, the Spark ability should be emitted from its mouth, right?" Roy wondered to himself. "With its jaw chopped off, can it still unleash Spark?"

Judging from Lucaón's open mouth and roaring, and his swaying body, he probably can't unleash his power.

Perhaps Delock knew this characteristic of Lucaon's skill, which is why he cut off his chin and tongue at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Only with the support of his bloodline did Lucaon manage to hold on this long. Now, leaning on his wooden sword, he was on the verge of death, like an old man in his twilight years.

He was going to die, from blood loss, at the hands of the man he trusted most.

"Waaah..." The mouth that could have instinctively spewed sparks could now only utter unwilling sobs. The sound was so soft that even Roy, more than twenty meters away, could not hear it, let alone alarm the town.

"What are you talking about, Lucaón?" Delock strolled over to Lucaón, who was half-paralyzed on the ground, and spoke calmly.

By the light of the moon, one could clearly see that the face was divided into two parts, one of light and one of shadow. The shadow concealed madness, while the light revealed a saintly purity.

"Don't worry, I'll live on for your sake. After all, I'm the one chosen by the wizard."

Delock said nothing more. He raised his iron sword high, its blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight. Delock, calmly wielding his sword, was a seasoned executioner with years of experience on the execution ground, showing no mercy to human life.

At this moment, Roy rushes out to draw Drock's attention, then kills Drock within seconds and takes Lucaon for emergency treatment. There might be a one percent chance of successfully saving the boy.

but……

Roy chuckled self-deprecatingly and dismissed the idea.

His chances of winning against Delock now are extremely slim.

Who would have thought that after only discovering the truth about Drogon's founding of "Kingdom Sword", he would start killing people so quickly?

That makes sense, the time for conscription isn't far off.

What Roy regrets now is not Lucaón's death, but the fact that he didn't get to see Lucaón fight Delock before he died.

"What exactly is the Lion's Roar?" Focusing his gaze on the executioner, data appeared. Using his 1.4 mental observation ability to analyze the "Lion's Roar," he clearly sensed that the barrier was as thin as a cicada's wing, but he was unable to break through it and ultimately could only fail.

"I was just a hair's breadth away from knowing the specifics of the Lion's Roar. But, to boost my spirit, I finally found a cabbage leaf..."

Even as the iron sword in Delock's hand fell, Roy's eyes remained calm and unperturbed.
