On the east coast, there are hundreds of countries.

Among these hundreds of countries, although the Kingdom of the Black Sacred Mountain is not the largest, it also belongs to the level that "cannot be ignored".

Unlike the Blue Lion Kingdom, a miniature country with only a few hundred thousand people, and unlike the medium-sized country of the Emerald Kingdom, where Prince Gro is located, which has more than three million people, the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom can be regarded as a big country in the current world.

It occupies a tenth of the entire East Coast, with a population of nearly 10 million and a regular army of nearly 100,000. Although the quality of the army is somewhat disappointing, this number is still not to be underestimated.

After all, in the current world, it is very expensive to feed the army, so there are many small nobles who have no soldiers available, and rely on mercenaries to save the emergency at critical moments. The number of troops, in a sense, represents the overall strength of a country.

The Black Saint Mountain Kingdom is obviously extremely confident in this regard, benefiting from the legacy left by the once destroyed Black Spirit Empire, and it is not decently rich.

Therefore, excluding the factor of wizards, some things in the Black Sacred Mountain will greatly affect the surrounding area - such as the current war between the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom and the Rob Kingdom, more than a dozen small countries are waiting to see how the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom will respond. After all, the performance of the Black Saint Mountain Kingdom on the front line is really bad now, and the army has retreated hundreds of miles into the territory under the attack, which makes people worry about it.

But—

In the southern border barracks of the Black Spirit Empire, far from the front line, no one showed any signs of worrying - there was almost no atmosphere of war here, as if the war in the north had nothing to do with the thousands of soldiers in the barracks.

Numerous military tents were set up on the high ground, and from time to time there were sounds of laughter, drunken drunkenness, and the voices of officers coming forward to teach people a serious lesson in military discipline -- they dared to hide the wine privately, and dared to drink it themselves without offering it first and letting the officers taste it.

The location of the center of the barracks, the situation is better, the people of the Guards Cavalry are a lot more disciplined, and the rest of the soldiers know that the respected princess palace is nearby, and they don't dare to make too many mistakes, it is rare to be quiet.

In the quiet, inside the huge military tent in the center.

Numerous candles were lit and illuminated, and a square table was seated at opposite ends of which Richard and Princess Ruth were seated, and the table was filled with food: roasted pheasant, roasted hare, roasted leg of lamb, roasted quail, bread, eel soup, boiled lettuce in salted water, boiled peas in salted water, cabbage boiled in salted water, boiled turnips in salted water......

It may not taste great, but it can be called a good dinner.

"How?" said Princess Ruth, pointing to the food on the table, to Richard, "is it to your taste?

"It's not that I'm not satisfied. Richard shook his head, "I'm just a little confused, and I think that according to reason, you shouldn't have been so hospitable to me." A sumptuous dinner like this is not very easy to make in this barracks. ”

"What does it matter?" said Princess Ruth, with a nonchalant expression, "I have money." ”

Richard: "......" I have to say, that's a really good reason.

"All right!" cried Princess Ruth, and with her knife she cut a fluffy piece of bread that looked black into slices, and brought it to Richard's plate, "taste it, and eat some of this bread first." Let me tell you first, this is not black bread, but brown sugar ginger bread, which is very delicious, and you can't eat it in ordinary places. ”

"Uh......" Richard replied, glancing at the bread, but did not move.

"What, I'm afraid I'll poison you?" Princess Ruth urged, in order to prove her "innocence", she cut a piece of bread and ate it, looked at Richard and said, "I have eaten it all, you can always eat it, right?"

"Okay. Richard said, took a bite of the bread, swallowed it, and found that it tasted good. looked up at Princess Ruth and said, "Actually, I don't think you will be poisoned, but I just think that your performance is really a little weird, as if there are some ulterior motives." ”

"Don't be foolish, I don't have it. "Princess Ruth said in a serious way.

"It's better not to. Richard said, eating, put down the dishes and looked at Princess Ruth, "If you may, I hope you can answer my question now, I would like to find out something about White Rock City." ”

"Just ask, and I'll tell you. Princess Ruth sat down in her seat and said, scooping a spoonful of fish soup with a silver spoon into her mouth, her feet were dishonestly cocked, and she suddenly remembered some of the past, and said angrily, "Actually, you are not a request, but an order......, right? You have that shameless method, and I don't want to tell you about it. ”

Richard didn't seem to hear the second half of Princess Ruth's mocking words, and said expressionlessly: "The first question I want to ask is, how did you survive? I saw White Rock City hit by a meteorite falling from the sky, and the center of the impact was the center of White Rock City, the White Stone Tower Complex.

The White Rock Tower Academy is located in it, and there is no chance of being spared. How could you be alive and back in your country? Did you feel in danger and left early? Or some other reason?"

"That's it. Princess Ruth shook her legs, "It's a long story. ”

"However, the reason is not as amazing as you think. Princess Ruth said, "Did you know that a few days before the meteorite fell, the White Rock Tower Academy was closed? It is said that the number of wizards in the White Stone Tower is limited, and it needs to be supplemented by teachers who teach in the academy. And told us that it was dangerous in the academy, and then we moved to the new premises of the academy. ”

"By the way, do you know the new location of the White Rock Tower Academy?" Princess Ruth asked Richard, "after all, many teachers must have mentioned it. ”

Richard listened and shook his head very calmly: "I really haven't heard of this yet, because I basically haven't taken classes." ”

"Uh, okay. "I'll just explain briefly: the academy has always wanted to expand its student enrollment, but in the center of White Rock City, it can't find more places, so a new academy has been established near the edge of White Rock City, and the academy is ready to be divided into two parts at that time." The new site is dedicated to new students, while the old site is dedicated to training experienced students who remain.

Before the meteorite fell, most of the students of the academy were sent to the new unfinished site, so when the meteorite fell, I and the rest of the students had time to flee for our lives and survived. Except, of course, for some unlucky people who were really unlucky, who were directly hit by the fragments of the meteorite and couldn't be saved. ”
