Chapter 348 Conti Returns
The long night, every minute and every second, quietly passed by.
Dawn had dawned outside the window, but Qiao An still couldn't fall asleep, so he had to get up and drink a cup of calming and hypnotic potion.
This drug has strong side effects, and frequent use can cause addiction and even damage the brain.
Every time Joan is forced to take it, he will feel deeply guilty and even self-loathing. However, he has no other way to overcome the stubborn disease of insomnia. If he does not sleep today, he will not be able to use spells tomorrow. too big.
Qiao An returned to the bed after taking the medicine, crossed his hands behind his head, and gradually became drowsy as the medicine took effect.
While half asleep and half awake, he suddenly remembered what Liyanan said not long ago:
"One day you will understand that being able to sleep peacefully is also a rare happiness."
Under the influence of the drug, Qiao An unconsciously fell asleep and didn't wake up until it was bright.
After waking up, he found that he had slept for a full five hours, more than twice the usual amount.
Even after sleeping for so long, his spirit was not as good as usual, and his head felt heavy and uncomfortable.
Joan guessed that this was a side effect of sleeping pills, and secretly warned himself not to take this dangerous drug again in the future.
Although the spirit is not good, fortunately, the spell position has returned to normal.
Joan spent an hour completing the daily routine of spiritual meditation, preparing the spells that might be used today.
As the level of spellcasting increases and the number of spells mastered increases day by day, spell slots become even more insufficient.
When preparing spells every day, you have to rack your brains and screen repeatedly, and have to give up most spells—this is an unavoidable dilemma for all mages.
Joan's situation is much better than other peers.
In addition to the normal spell slots, he also has "Power of Myth", "Tears of God" and the "Sid Mana" he received from Liyanan not long ago.
These resources can replace the role of spell slots, and there is no need to match the corresponding spells in advance, and the way of casting spells is more flexible.
Thanks to these convenient conditions, Joan doesn't need to spend too much time preparing spells, just match them casually. Anyway, he has plenty of backup countermeasures.
When it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, Joan had finished today's spell homework, and cleaned the upstairs and downstairs to prepare the guest room for the upcoming Kandy.
He went downstairs to say hello to Jamie and Gray, and went into the kitchen to prepare a late breakfast.
Both Gray and Jamie eat a lot, and they are 100% carnivores. They are not used to eating human bread, so they go hunting in the back mountain woods by themselves.
In this season at the turn of spring and summer, there are plenty of game in the woods for them to let go of their bellies.
Before going out, Joan specifically told Gray and Jamie not to patronize their own food, remember to bring a few hares or pheasants back to make soup, so that grandpa can nourish his body.
Jamie and Gray, good partners, ran back in a panic just a few steps out of the house.
The half-breed winter wolf roared repeatedly, and the gray marsupial also gestured eagerly at Joan, pointing out the window from time to time, as if to remind him of something.
Seeing the nervousness of the two of them, Joan's heart ached. He thought it was the "shepherd" who came to the door, so he grabbed the dagger and rushed out the door.
There was a hoarse cry in the air, and Joan looked up, and saw a big black bird flying towards this side, spread its wide wings, and reached the top of the roof in a blink of an eye, circling in mid-air.
Joan was ready to cast the spell, secretly wondering where did this giant crow come from?
The "Shepherd" often appears with a giant bee, but it has never been heard that he has the ability to control a giant crow.
At this time, the giant crow in the air retracted its wings and landed slowly.
A little girl in a green hunting suit was carried on the giant crow's back. Before the giant crow stabilized, it jumped down, with a pretty face full of smiles, galloping towards it like a dexterous deer.
"Kanti, it's you."
Qiao An looked at that youthful and beautiful figure, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.
"Joan Joan! Long time no see!"
Perhaps because of the reunion after a long absence, Kandy seemed a little excited, ran straight to Joan, and offered to send him a warm hug.
The girl's delicate body was pressed against her arms, and Joan's heart beat faster, he hesitated for a moment, and finally hugged her backhand.
The two people's eyes met, their cheeks flushed by coincidence, and they quickly let go of each other's arms, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Kandy touched her hot cheeks, pretended to look around, and suddenly raised her eyebrows, and let out a surprised cry.
"Joan Joan! Why did the house get taller? I remember it wasn't like this!"
"The old house was burned down." Joan pointed to the ruins in the distance. "The house you see now was built by the villagers."
Conti was quite nostalgic for the old house he used to live in, and couldn't help asking: "Since you went to Port Leiden to go to school, that house has been vacant. I stayed here for a few days a month ago. How about that?" The time was fine, how could it suddenly catch fire?"
"Conti, the last time you came to visit my grandfather was at the end of June, right?"
"Yes, I came with my parents."
"When did your family leave?"
"About mid-July, I received a letter from you the day before I left, saying that I won the runner-up in the hunting competition."
Joan counted the time silently, and then met Kandy's bright eyes full of confusion.
"If you leave a few days late, I'm afraid you will encounter 'Shepherd' Idar."
"'Shepherd' Idar?" Conti was even more confused, and asked Joan with his braids hanging down his shoulders. "I've never heard of this character. He set fire to your house?"
"This matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. You go into the room. Have you had breakfast? Have something to eat and talk slowly."
"Okay, let me cook for you."
Kandy took Joan's hand naturally, and rushed into the new house, not rushing into the kitchen, and visited every room up and down.
She repeatedly praised the spaciousness and beauty of the new house, and was also very satisfied with the guest room that Joan helped her decorate.
The little girl still had a childlike innocence, and actually took off her boots and coat in front of Joan, leaving only her underwear, panties and a pair of white socks, and jumped on the soft mattress to laugh and roll.
The long white legs of the beautiful girl made Qiao An dizzy, her heart beat faster, and she turned her head away.
Canti jumped out of the bed suddenly, tiptoeing towards his back with a mischievous grin.
Through the eyeball on the back of her neck, Joan had seen her little tricks clearly. She could have avoided it in time, but she was afraid that she would fall off the bed and break her head, so she stood there and let her jump on her. On the back, he hooked the girl's legs with his backhand, his hands were warm and greasy.
Kandy stretched out her bare arms, wrapped them around Joan's neck, became inexplicably docile, lay on his shoulders without saying a word, and gently rubbed her smooth cheek against the side of his neck.
After more than two months, I finally recommended it on the website again
