Chapter 231: To Each His Heart (Part II)

The long night passed. The rain subsided. The little duke Bivanno sent someone to invite everyone to breakfast, but Salin casually refused. He is now accustomed to eating the food he brings with him, and he usually goes out and never touches other people's things.

There are too many magic potions that can kill people invisibly, and detecting magic is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Rex also has the Ring of the HRE, which can prevent danger, and Salen himself is not such a good artifact.

Salin didn't go, and Sika naturally didn't go, and the two of them got their own food in the room, but Neris and Rex went to see Bivano.

Like the castle, the dining room is simple, large and has narrow windows. There are only six light sources in the crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling, which makes the restaurant a little dark.

"Blue Fox, I've seen His Highness Rex. Bivanno said to a swordsman behind him.

The swordsman, dressed in soft armor and carrying a long sword at his waist, landed on one knee and saluted Rex.

"This is Blue Fox, the captain of my own soldiers. This time I went south, and my team was commanded by him. ”

Rex nodded, this blue fox was in his thirties. The breath is calm, and every move is like a mountain. Rex felt all too familiar with this, Black Iron Juggernaut.

Rex is not surprised, although the Sword Master is difficult to cultivate, there are always more than the Magus. The population of the Titan Principality is nearly 10 million, which is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the Yunliu Empire, and it is normal for the Duke to have a few Sword Saints under him.

The Titan North advocates frugality, which is very different from Yunliu, and this breakfast is nothing more than corn porridge and white bread. The meat consisted of two slices of bacon and what appeared to be less than 20 grams of cheese. Fortunately, the greens were fresh, and with a little mushroom and sauce, plus a small bowl of soup, it was all for breakfast.

Narnia habitually prepared tea for Rex, and Bivanno couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes. Nania is now a fourth-level magician, a great magician, and it is a little difficult for him to accept using magic to make tea.

The other sorceress, however, replaced Rex with a set of silver cutlery, and checked every food with a detection spell before handing it over to Rex.

These things are all things they are used to, so although some mages around Rex lack experience, they have a strong sense of security, and it is very difficult to assassinate them.

Bivanor felt embarrassed, but he couldn't scold a mage, who was not yet his subordinate.

"Don't mind, Bivano, they're used to it. Rex smiled and comforted Biffano. She didn't mean to, just a lot of habits, and she didn't want the people around her to change. It's okay to be by your side, if these life mages don't develop similar habits, they may lose their lives because of some trivial things in the future.

Bivano was speechless, but fortunately it was only breakfast, and there were no multiple dishes coming up in turn, and the detection magic was no longer used after a wave. Questioning the safety of food in front of him, it is normal for Bivanno to be depressed.

Neris ate and drank nonchalantly, she was not interested in this bit of food, and what she liked to do now was to learn human etiquette as much as possible. As for the toxin, as long as it doesn't go directly into her heart, it can basically be ignored. Nothing in the Demon Plane is non-toxic, and for Nellis, the Myers Continent is a little too pure.

The swordsmen led by Rex were arranged in a small dining room, and the big magicians still did not leave their magic chariots, and breakfast simply passed.

Beginning with tea, Bivanno and Rex talked about going south.

"Rex, along the way, the Red Fen Legion will definitely have an attack, and your swordsman will let the Blue Fox dispatch it for the time being. This is good for the battle. ”

Rex smiled and said, "No, these dozen people are from Holy Rock City, they only speak Qin Yin, if they act with your people, it will cause you trouble." I asked them to protect my carriage. ”

Bivano couldn't refute Rex's words, but he didn't plan to do anything to Rex and the others right now, so he laughed it off and didn't continue to make demands.

"Of my five hundred soldiers, two hundred are cavalry, one hundred shield infantry, one hundred heavy swordsmen, and one hundred archers. The cavalry had three horses, and the rest had only two horses. It's not too slow. You've seen the map, the road is in good condition, and we can advance at least two hundred miles a day. At the end of the month, you will be able to go to Fire Dance City. ”

"It's already good. How's the preparation going over there in Fire Dance City?"

"Except for a few magicians, nothing else. Rex, what is the origin of Salin?" Bivano saw that although Saleen ostensibly belonged to the Bitter Water County, he was actually very independent and almost not under Rex's orders. He had never investigated this person, and it was too late to investigate, so it was better to ask Rex directly.

"Master Sarin, what a great man. What do you want to know?" asked Rex with a smile. She wouldn't tell Bivanno anything about the secret between Saleen and her, she wouldn't tell anyone.

"I've heard that magicians have a lineage, the lineage of Master Sarin. You know what?"

"His teacher is from Alchemy City. Rex replied vaguely, there are more than 10,000 mages in Alchemy City, and there are hundreds of great mages, so saying this is still equivalent to not telling Bivano anything.

Sure enough, it came out of Alchemy City, and Bivano became vigilant in his heart.

"It's really remarkable, Master Salin is probably the youngest fifth-level mage. "Biffano didn't know anything about magic, as he said, in fact he never stopped learning it. It's just that all he learns is theoretical knowledge, and at the moment he can only be regarded as a high-level magic apprentice.

"No, when I became a fifth-level mage, I was younger than him. Rex blocked Bivano's temptation again. But Bivanno didn't notice it, he thought Rex was just a little proud. Because she has the capital of pride.

"You're a recognized genius of magic, Rex, how can he compare to you. Bivano said, analyzing in his heart at the same time. I heard that Rex has been to Alchemy City for a while, and now he is expanding his territory in the north, which should be supported by Alchemy City. Then this Salin is indeed not easy to touch.

The teacher is right, he still sent someone to Alchemy City to investigate, if Salin is an unimportant person, it will be easy to do. If Salin is the key to the cooperation between Alchemy City and Rex, then he can only find another way.

Hypocrisy!

Nellis lowered her eyelids and sipping her tea. Such people. Why should the host worry.

Rex still had an aristocratic smile, noncommittal to Bivano's praise. Bivanor was a little disappointed, and Rex seemed to have changed his attitude towards himself after coming to the princess's castle.

"Rex, I'll send fifty shield infantry to protect your vehicle. Seeing that Saleen had no useful information, Biffano pulled the topic back again.

"Well, you'd better let them protect the archers. I have two Black Iron Juggernauts here, and it's hard to get close to my carriage. ”

Bivano felt cramps again, and those two people turned out to be Black Iron Sword Saints, and they never left the carriage. Protecting the magicians who remained in the carriage. Although the area of Kushui County is dozens of times smaller than that of Titan, its troops are not much weaker. Originally, I thought they were relying on the number of magicians, but now it seems that the army is also very strong.

How nice it would be if this army was his own, damn Yunliu, who has been limiting the military strength of the Titans, and what he can mobilize privately, except for his own soldiers, he can't even get together a battalion, and he barely managed to make up five flag regiments, a total of five thousand people. All in Fire Dance City, ready to deal with the Red Fen Legion. Even if this plan is successfully completed, I am afraid that there will be no more than half of these 5,000 people left.

Bivano cursed in his heart, his face still smiling aristocraticly.

"Rex, your horses are gone, before you go, I'll change two war horses for each of you. ”

"And the horses that pull the carts, all of which are bothering you. "Rex didn't be polite to Bivano, she was in a hurry, all the horses were injured, and she didn't want to use the skeleton war horse yet.

Because there are no necromancers in the team, these skeleton horses can only be stored in the green ghost of Saleen, and once killed by the enemy, they can no longer be summoned.

"Of course, but the horse that Master Salin wants......"

"You can send someone to Kushui County. Rex was even more unambiguous about this, and Salen asked for five hundred horses that could be bred, and she would be able to get a share of these horses in the end. Qin Yin's number of war horses has always been insufficient, and the good war horses have been controlled by Holy Rock City, even if it is Rex's swordsman battalion, the cavalry troops have been worried about the affairs of war horses.

These war horses have been improved in Kushui County, and with the help of magicians, at most three or five years, they can breed war horses suitable for the north. The skeleton war horse itself is also flawed, and for the priests of the Holy See, they will be subject to the restriction of the magic of light. Moreover, it is impossible for the three kings to follow the army to fight. The number of necromancers in his own bitter water army is too small, and none of them are great magicians. If you want to rely on skeleton horses to supplement the lack of cavalry, you can't do it at all.

As for the wolf cavalry, the number is too small, and she doesn't want to accept Xika's favor.

"Don't worry, when we arrive in Fire Dance City, the war horse will be sent to Kushui County. Bivanno readily agreed, but his heart was reluctant. Five hundred war horses are worth enough to build a huge capital warship.

Everything was well discussed, except that the matter of the war horse was put forward temporarily, and Bivano had already prepared everything. At noon, 500 soldiers set off to protect the new convoy.

In the new convoy, the two carriages brought by Rex were left behind, and the goods on these two carts were disposed of by Bivano, and the purchase of the winemaker could only be done by the people of the princess's castle.

In addition to the two magic chariots, there were ten more carts in the convoy, but they carried military equipment such as weapons and tents. As the party departed, Biffano saw Rex and Salin in a carriage, and his face could no longer be suspended. He suppressed the resentment in his heart, urged his horse, and came to the front of the team. His own soldiers immediately followed left and right, not knowing why the little duke was angry.

The worse the mood, the worse things became, and less than a hundred miles away from the princess's castle, suddenly it rained again. There were still more than 100 miles to go to the next town, and Bivano had no choice but to order his soldiers to choose a piece of high ground without standing water to camp.
