Chapter 129: Knowing the Other
A small snake-like centipede wrapped around the rough trunk of the tree, and the two red tentacles representing the poison kept shaking, and then the pale yellow countless thin feet began to swing, and the dark green body also snaked in one direction.
However, before it could climb to where it wanted to go, a short iron arrow struck it in the head, nailing it to the trunk of the tree, and no matter how frantically it writhed its body, it was to no avail, and finally died of convulsions.
"Boss, I'll be able to leave the jungle soon!" The magic swordsman, armed with a bow and crossbow, emerged from the bushes, disregarded the dew and dew, recognized his surroundings, and shouted behind him.
Then he walked over to the centipede, and after confirming that it was dead, he pulled out the short arrow that was deep in the trunk, wiped the centipede's bodily fluids from the arrow with a look of disgust, and then put it back into the quiver.
Even if it is a mercenary organization that is already famous, there will still be various shortages of funds in many cases, so it is better not to waste arrows or other arrows that can still be recycled.
Behind the crossbow demon swordsman, the originally dense bushes were immediately forced out of the path by the heavy sword, and for these branches and vines, even if the blade was not sharp, the weight of the heavy sword itself and the force of the swing could sweep them all aside.
After Hogg, the wagons of the caravan and the villagers carrying the packages on their backs rushed out, trampling the plants that were already dying under the wilt of the greatsword into jungle fertilizer, while the rest of the magic swordsmen walked on both sides of the long line as escorts, and the last was the queen of the palace, the few of them and the boy who still had no expression on his face.
Although the demon swordsmen were still a little suspicious of containing the boy who almost caused a disaster. But since Xiweidu had already said that, he didn't dare to say anything more. And although they didn't know about the existence of the Dao Demon Equipment, they could also feel that the boy had changed from the previous state of terrifying coercion back to an ordinary person who could be subdued in an instant except for his eyes, which were still a little hairy, so there was no big problem except to prevent him from escaping - in fact, even if he escaped, such a young child would have almost no second possibility in the jungle without any supplies other than becoming a monster's meal.
Just after arriving in Yonia County. Sivi would go to the Mage's Tower and ask to contact Lady Sharon and ask her to help inform the eldest princess and stuff the boy named Veron into the border guard. As for whether to start as a coolie or as a soldier, that's not something for Sivi to worry about.
As for whether or not to let the boy enter his future academy...... Happy playing! The answer, of course, is no.
Sivi is not the type who will calmly hand over his left cheek when he is hit on the right cheek, and the main reason why he does not punish the boy is that he does not punish him. In addition to taking care of the kind Alice's mood, he also wants to bury the other party in the border guard, using it as a lookout station to observe the gnolls and even the orcs, anyway, without magic equipment, this boy who is extremely talented in all aspects will not be able to do much.
Xiwei's requirements for his students are not to be particularly talented or anything, as can be seen from the descriptions of the various buildings of the academy, as long as he can really build the academy in reality, even the average talent of the student will not progress much slower than the top students of other colleges. For him, the character of the students is more important than the talent.
Even if the talent is amazing, but a dissatisfied student will defect from the academy, and even turn back to bite the academy, there is no value in cultivating at all.
For example, Orochimaru in Naruto. Voldemort from Harry Potter. No one can say that those two are not gifted or have low IQs, but they are definitely not qualified students - the former nearly destroyed the village that raised them, and the latter threatened the entire world.
…,
Veron is the same, angry because of his willfulness and doing some messy things. As a result, they went on a rampage and destroyed the village. And he doesn't have the outstanding talent of those two, but he just doesn't know everyone.
Joining the army is to give him a chance, and at the same time to give him a punishment.
The border guards are different from the general army, they are stricter and more demanding, and even children do not receive special preferential treatment. In addition, he marched through the back door, and at the beginning of the period, I am afraid that there will be soldiers who are dissatisfied with this to give him small shoes to wear.
If he can endure it, everything will be fine, but if he can't endure it, it proves that he is not even qualified to work hard, he is a mediocre talent in the true sense, and Xiwei does not have to waste more energy for him.
It is also worth mentioning that although Sivi told him that he did not know the reason why the other party instructed the giant wolf to attack the village, it was all a lie. The other party's purpose is to seize the magic equipment, and in addition, they have hooked up with some vampires, and judging from what happened in Horadur, I am afraid that the vampires who hooked up with the jackals are still the ghosts of the night nobles.
Since Biketown, Sivi has been constantly attacked by vampires from the Night Noble faction, and if you connect all these events: there are some low-level vampires who hunt humans in small villages and towns to provide energy for the slightly stronger vampires, such as the mayor of Biketown; Slightly stronger vampires will summon ancient demons with large numbers of living people as sacrifices, and Wickren of Horadure wanted to summon the Abyssal Serpent, but this plan was crushed by Sivi after the most difficult plan. In addition, the slightly stronger vampires seem to have a connection with the gnolls, otherwise it would not have been possible for the gnolls at that time to suddenly start a war before the spring harvest, which Wakelen also admits. Not only that, but the newspaper published by the Seven Yao Mage Tower also mentioned that there were many cities where people disappeared in large numbers, and it is believed that what happened to Horadur was not just accidental; The more powerful vampires seem to be looking for something, such as the treasures of the Lylian Academy, and the magic equipment that is said to have sealed the Demon King.
To sum it up, it is to summon ancient demons and look for magic tools or things that have been passed down from ancient times.
Then, the purpose is obvious - they want to awaken the legendary demon king who almost overturned the entire world.
Only by using this as a condition for making a contract will those ancient demons obey the vampires to a certain extent.
In that case, the Seven Magic Implements are one of the things they aspire to obtain.
The person looking for the magic equipment this time may also be a very powerful vampire, and those gnolls and giant wolves are just the advance team he sent......
"......" seems to have become a very troublesome situation if you are not careful.
Sivi rubbed his forehead with some distress.
"Teacher, are you tired?" Seeing that Sivi's expression was a little uncomfortable, Alyssa immediately asked, "Do you want to take a break?" ”
"No need." Sivi reluctantly smiled at the girl, "I'm fine." ”
Despite what he said, Alyssa looked at him with some concern.
Sylvie was once again immersed in his own thoughts: Anyway, this incident is too big for a small beginner magician to bear, and when he arrives in Yonia, he must also talk to the other party about this matter when he contacts Lady Sharon. The future of all mankind is left to those great mages to think about, and they only need to think about how to survive the sniping of the Night Nobles.
Wait, survive?
Sivi's eyes lit up, and a bold idea came to her heart.
At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, because of the drag of the villagers' marching speed, the jungle that had been hovering in front of them for two days finally came to an end, and the front presented a quiet and peaceful farm scenery.
…,
"Yo he!" Nino, the head of the plane, was the first to shout with joy: "Finally I don't have to go in that goddamn place, my clothes are about to be hung into rags by those goddamn branches!" ”
Except for some villagers who prefer the jungle, the expressions of the others are similar, although there is still a little freshness when entering the jungle at the beginning, but if you stay for a long time, you will feel very troublesome, whether it is the biological terrain or the special climate will not give people a friendly feeling. This feeling is even more pronounced when the whole village is relocated, even with the help of animal paths, but the road is still difficult and bumpy, even the villagers of Niradi Village, who were born and raised in the jungle, although they will not suffer from natural traps such as tree roots and pits, will not be happy in this long trek.
"In this case, the village chief, you should first negotiate with the village chiefs of those villages to see if they can take you in, if it really doesn't work, it's not impossible to open a forest and build a village in the vicinity." Xiwei said to the old village chief: "Remember to go and explain the situation to the nearby security officer, the spring harvest has just passed, and I believe that the nearby lords will not turn away so many of your laborers when there is abundant food." ”
Subsequently, the traveling merchants of the caravan and Shasang Sang and the magic swordsmen also came to bid farewell to Xiwei, after all, the Chamber of Commerce of the traveling merchants and the branch of the Qiyao Mage Tower that Xiwei was going to were not in the same city, and it was not efficient to go together.
And after so many days of delay, they have to give an explanation to the buyers.
Xiwei didn't keep it, but thanked the few magic swordsmen who helped a lot on the way, apologized to the traveling merchants, and after selling them a favor, he took his students and the boy with him, and walked towards the Qiyao Mage Tower according to the map provided by the traveling merchants.
