Chapter 202 Thunder Slash

The elven word "Canwa" has the meaning of "command" and "coercion", and it is the activation spell of the 1st-level paladin magic "forced duel".

When the digger heard Major Vasa's roar, his mind was firmly controlled immediately, he had no choice but to accept his challenge, and angrily rushed towards the fully armed paladin opposite him.

Major Vasa dodged to avoid the reckless pounce of the digger, and swung forward vigorously with the shield in his left hand.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the thick shield made of fine steel hit the worm's face firmly, causing the worm to throw its head back, a large area of ​​its face collapsed, and the shattered exoskeleton leaked green mucus like pus and blood. .

Major Vasa raised his long sword high, a surge of holy energy was injected into the weapon, and the blade trembled violently, making a palpitating buzzing sound.

The magic-infused sword tore through the air, like a bolt of red lightning slamming on the head of the digger, cutting off half of the giant worm's jaws, and at the same time, thunder broke out that shook the garden.

The 1st ring paladin magic "Thunder Slash" triggered a strong shock wave, which exploded violently from the worm as the origin, knocking the giant worm backwards.

The upper body of the digger was lying on its back on the grass, and the lower body was still hidden deep in the cave. The whole body was abruptly folded backwards into a U-shape, and the back covered with a hard carapace was broken off at the middle.

Standing thirty feet away from the burrow, Qiao An could clearly feel a strong shock wave sweeping against the ground, and was so shaken that he almost fell down.

The roar echoed in the ears, and the eardrums buzzed. Qiao An was stunned for two seconds before recovering, grabbed a bottle of insecticide, and threw it at the digger.

puff!

The glass bottle hit the worm's head and shattered, and the splashed potion made the crippled giant worm curl up in pain, and it seemed that it was about to die.

Fearing that it was pretending to be dead, Major Vasa pointed his sword forward with both hands, and chanted a spell in a deep voice. The edge of the sword suddenly glowed, sparking a fiery red beam, burning the head of the digger through a bowl-sized bowl. The hole completely stopped struggling.

Joan's eyes widened in surprise.

After careful identification, he saw that the sword in Major Vasa's hand was enchanted with the 2-ring arcane "Scorching Ray", no wonder it was named "Flame Tongue Sword".

Major Vasa stood guard at the entrance of the cave with his sword in hand, watching the surrounding movement vigilantly.

It wasn't until the smoked mosquito grass and cockscomb stones were burned out, and thick smoke billowed from all the caves, that it was confirmed that there were no living diggers in the caves, so they put away their weapons and armor and returned to Joan.

Not long after, Philip Downs, the butler of the Custis family, hurried into the garden, expressed deep apologies to Joan and Vasa on behalf of the hostess, and invited the two distinguished guests back to the second floor for dinner.

Joan followed Major Vassar back to the restaurant, where Miss Martha was waiting for them.

Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and there were tears on her face, but fortunately, her mood had stabilized.

The sumptuous dishes were delivered to the table one after another, but the three of the host and guest had no appetite.

The topic at the dinner table deliberately avoided the sacrifice of Captain Daniel, but the shadow of Daniel's death still hung over the restaurant, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

As the hostess, Miss Martha felt that she was obliged to liven up the atmosphere, so she found a lighter topic to chat with Joan, and asked him about the friends she had made at Leiden College.

Joann's only friend at school was probably Thomas Chapp.

Of course, Miss Martha knew about the Chap family who were also owners of the large estate in Leyton City. First, she told him some interesting stories about the Chap family, and then asked Joan if she recognized her sister Rebecca.

"Martha's sister is the same age as you, named Rebecca Custis, Joan, you should have heard of this name."

Major Vassar also joined in the conversation.

"Rebecca has shown amazing perceptual talents since she was a child. She became the official priest of Goddess Timothy at the age of eleven, and was promoted to a level 5 priest in just two years. She was accepted by Ms. Clare, the Dean of the Theology Branch of Leiden College, as soon as she entered school this year. Accepted as a disciple, I have never seen such an outstanding divine arts genius like her."

"Compared to Rebecca, I'm like a dull scarecrow." Martha laughed at herself, "With such a genius sister, you can imagine the pressure on me."

"Miss Rebecca...does she have weird silver hair?"

In Joan's mind, a pretty and dangerous face appeared.

Martha and Vasa looked at each other without saying a word, and the look in Joan's eyes became very strange.

It took a long time before Miss Martha broke the silence, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Rebecca's hair turns silvery white only when she's frightened or very agitated... Has she been bullied at school?"

"This...I'm very sorry, the person who bullied Miss Rebecca...maybe...probably...maybe me." Joan was full of guilt.

"What are you talking about? It can't be such a coincidence!"

Miss Martha's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"Joan, I never believe you are a bad boy! Tell me, what's going on?"

Joan couldn't refuse Miss Martha's questioning, so she could only bite the bullet and tell the ins and outs.

Although he deliberately avoided talking about Thomas' responsibility during the narration, Miss Martha still realized that the young master of the Chap family was the culprit, and angrily cursed Thomas as a "stinky and shameless little rascal"!

"Miss Martha, Thomas has already paid the price for his offense, and we have also apologized to Miss Rebecca, and she forgave us very tolerantly." Joan said embarrassingly.

"It's not a big deal for children to fight and fight. I don't think Martha will blame you for it." Major Vassar spoke for Joan.

"Of course I won't be so narrow-minded, but having said that, Joan, my sister is such a beautiful and lovely little girl, why did you treat her so cruelly? You even had the heart to smash her head with a stone ?”

"Oh, you are so cruel at such a young age. When you grow up, you must be a hard-hearted man! If any girl falls in love with you unfortunately, she is doomed to shed all tears!"

Faced with Miss Martha's accusation, Joan was ashamed.

What else could he have said other than "I'm sorry"?

This small episode dispelled the gloomy atmosphere in the restaurant.

Joann sacrifices her image to bring Miss Martha back to life. Fortunately, Miss Martha was not really angry with him, she smiled again after complaining a few words, and softly advised him to eat more roast beef.

"This is Rebecca's favorite dish, try it, you will like it too."

A piece of tender and juicy roast beef tenderloin was placed on the silver dinner plate, but the method was different from the roast meat Joan had eaten before.

First fry the beef in butter until half-cooked, season with salt and pepper during the frying process, then spread a layer of mushroom sauce, then wrap a layer of puff pastry, bake in the oven like toast until crisp The skin is baked golden and crispy.

When this dish was put on the table, Joan, a poor country boy who had never seen the world, thought it was a big bread or a baked pie.

It wasn't until Miss Martha cut it open with a table knife, and the beef juice hidden under the puff pastry overflowed with a mouth-watering aroma, that Joan realized that it was barbecue.

Miss Martha gave Joan the biggest and most tender piece of barbecue.

After thanking Joan, he cut off a small piece with a knife and fork, and sent it to his mouth to chew along with the puff pastry.

Properly roasted, soft and juicy calf tenderloin, sweet and crispy skin, served with a rich and delicious mushroom sauce, the delicious taste is combined with rich texture.

Joan can only describe this wonderful taste as "happiness".
