Chapter 42: Rex's Past (Part I)
[A chapter is over, the chaos of the kingdoms is about to begin, and the peaceful life and the protagonist will never have a chance! Vote, let our protagonist re-enter the battle]
After an afternoon of work, Saleen didn't show too much strength, and Nania was already greatly impressed. She knew that when she was in the second stage, it would be difficult for her to perfectly control the first level of magic like Salin.
This is a solid foundation, no matter how high your level is, it can't be used to make comparisons.
The Kadric man was cheerful and enthusiastic, not at all like a calm mage. During the break, he had a good chat with Salin, who knew more from his mouth.
There are many mountains around Kushui County, but more than 20 miles east of the city, there is a basin suitable for planting. The grain in the county is produced there, and there is no need to buy it from outside. The swordsman battalion was stationed in that basin, and there were more than 30 castles and castles around the basin, the smallest castle could only accommodate less than 200 people, and the largest could accommodate more than 3,000 people.
Because Kushui County does not produce war horses, the number of cavalry in the swordsman battalion is only one-tenth, so the requirements for equipment are higher. The warrior even blessed every pair of boots with magic. Such a level of equipment can be reached by no more than ten corps on the entire continent.
Salin finally had a vague idea of the strategic location of Kushui County, if it weren't for the winding mountain secret road, Kushui County was not a strategic place at all. That road is impassable for the army, and if a small group of troops wants to pass, they must first deal with the demonic beasts in the mountains.
As long as Kushui County sends hundreds of elite soldiers to defend that road, it will basically not directly face danger. But why does Lord Rex seem to have the same uneasy mood as himself?
The 10,000-strong swordsman battalion has all been summoned, who is the Lord of Rex guarding against?
"Saleen, Saleen?"
"Huh?"
"May County is going back to Holy Rock City, are you going with you?" asked Nania.
"Back to Yanjing?what?"
"When the county lord becomes an adult, of course, it is a formal grant of power, and the county lord can also be canonized as a nobleman in the future. ”
"I don't have time, and I can't help if I go. Salin said casually.
"I didn't want to go, but Mr. Ferron wants to go, and it will be half a year to go, and I am reluctant. Nania said helplessly. Although the magician still imparts knowledge once a week, for the people around Faeron, they can learn more in this courtyard every day.
With the necklace of the goddess Myrs, Saleen could teach himself a lot, and after listening to Nania's words, he was not moved. Half a year is just enough time for me to fully master the Figaro magic formula. But when Lord Rex went to Yanjing, why did he take Fei Lun with him?
Twice when Saleen entered Lord Rex's room, he sensed the hidden power. With those people here, there will be no problem with the safety of the county lord. What's more, the Lord of Rex is a fifth-level mage himself, and he is not short of the protection of a Feren.
Working until the evening, the water of repair was finally enough to use, and Salin and Nania were sent out of the alchemy factory. The sunset is as bright as gold, giving the weather a touch of warmth in the depths of winter. The two of them walked through the garden, and Nania didn't know why Saleen suddenly fell silent, and said softly, "Saleen, thank you." ”
"Huh? You're so polite. By the way, if I want to go out of the house, there is no problem, right?" Salin remembered that Sika was uncomfortable in the house, and suddenly wanted to take her out for a walk.
Nania smiled, looked at Salin curiously, and said, "I thought you knew the rules, but the county lord didn't tell you?"
"I didn't ask. ”
"If you don't come back in the evening, you have to say it in advance. It's best to prepare a day in advance, and a lot of the food prepared for us in the kitchen will take a whole day, if you don't come back suddenly, people will do it in vain. Badges should be worn when entering and exiting, and occasionally the gatekeeper will change them to avoid trouble. If you leave for more than a month, you have to say hello to the county lord, and the magic core supplied during this time will be gone. Nania patiently explained, and the two of them walked through the garden, with some dirt under their feet, leaving a trail of footprints.
Behind Feron's courtyard, the space warps folded, shielding everything out. It was an empty land with a tall magic tower standing in the middle. The eight-story tower is all made of steel and rock, and the ground around the magic tower is also made of steel and rock, carved with magic symbols.
There are also clear lines on the steel rock, poured with red gem powder, and connected into a huge magic array.
The sky here is gray, snow can't drift in, and although it is small, it has a desolate and empty feeling. The towering magic tower is surrounded by no buildings or plants, and thanks to the huge magic array, this magic tower is shielded so that no one can peep into it.
However, looking out from the top of the magic tower, the entire county lord's mansion was in full view.
In the space of the seventh layer, there is the Lord Rex, the winter hunt is not over yet, she has already returned early.
The space of the magic tower was much larger than it seemed from the outside, and Rexshire sat on the ground, opposite her, the eighth-level magician and Faeron. Lord Rex looked respectfully at the teacher in her gray magic robe.
The sorcerer slowly spoke: "Those glories will eventually perish. Those histories are nothing but legends. Lace, why don't you give up your wealth? For you, life will be very long, and worldly rights are an obstacle to your progress. ”
The magician called the nickname of the Lord of Cress, his eyes showed love, this was his best student, if he practiced wholeheartedly, it was only a matter of time before he became a ninth-level magician. And the achievements of his own life are nothing more than that.
"Teacher, when I was seven years old, I left Yanjing. At the time, I didn't understand why my father did this. If not, why would you let you be my teacher? When I came to Kushui County, I understood that there is still such a place in the world, and it is so difficult for a person to even live. I have heard that 30,000 years ago, humanity was the master of all planes, and now it is heart-wrenching to fall so far. ”
The magician sighed softly, this student is too talented, too smart and precocious. At the age of seven, think about eternity.
"Then I got this ruin, and I got a fortune that no one else could have in their lifetime. It was fate that allowed me to find my way. ”
"You alone can't change the world. The sorcerer persuaded Lord Rex.
"Teacher, look. Lord Rex pointed out the window and said, "There are more than 300 mages and nearly 1,000 apprentices in this mansion. If it weren't for my efforts, all but the lucky one would have been mediocre for the rest of their lives. I may not be able to change a world, but I can change a city. ”
"But, Lace, the goddess has fallen. ”
Lord Rex smiled and said, "Teacher, you told me that the world of magic is endless. Even so, as a magician, you have to fight until the day of death. What I'm doing isn't meaningless, is it?"
"The prince will be very upset. ”
"When I was seven years old, he was already unhappy once, and one more time was nothing. In front of the teacher, Lord Rex finally showed his edge, not as cautious as he did in the face of Byrne. In this magic tower, all words are a secret between her and her teacher.
"In that case, I won't advise you anymore. Lace, this was given to me by your father back then, and I can give it to you now. The sorcerer said, taking out a ring, holding it in the breeze, and sending it to Lord Rex.
The ring is yellow gold, but dull. It is inlaid with a gemstone, a small gemstone cut into twenty-four hedra, incomparably perfect, without any blemishes.
Lord Rex took the ring in his hand, a little surprised. The ring is made of pure rhenium gold, and the natural magic pattern on it can only be detected with mental power. On the inside of the ring, a circle of Qin Yinwen is engraved. She doesn't have to look at it, she knows what is written.
"Your Majesty said to me back then, you choose your own route, I didn't expect that Your Majesty would win, you really chose this path. The sorcerer said regretfully, "Yes, this is the Ring of the Divine Ara, and with it, you have power." If the prince thwarts your plans, you can use this ring to establish a county and do what you like from now on. ”
Father!
Lord Rex clenched the Ring of the Shinra, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. I've been trying to understand, but after so many years, I rarely miss it.
"Lace, don't be upset. What people want to get, they have to pay the same price. ”
"Teacher, I understand, but I really want to go back to Holy Rock City and see him quickly. ”
"Then go ahead, Faren will accompany you. Remember my words and don't clash with the Prince. The sorcerer reminded Lord Rex, "As you know, he's now a Golden Swordmaster. ”
The word Golden Juggernaut weighed heavily on the heart of Lord Rex. Of course, it was impossible for the uncle to really kill himself, after all, there were still three ninth-level magicians in the palace, controlling the entire Holy Rock City. But it's okay to lose face. Originally, the House of Commons was controlled by his uncle, and if the people in the House of Lords did not support him, would he really rely on the Ring of the HRE to establish a country?
Father always has his difficulties, and this matter is really difficult to deal with.
"Lace, the Salin you recruited into the mansion last time was very good. The sorcerer suddenly mentioned Salin, and the Lord of Rex nodded and said, "Very good, I have already asked Faren to guide him." ”
"Go back to Holy Rock City this time, take him with you, let Master Roy take a look, and say that I recommended it. ”
"This ...... It's too early, isn't it?" Although Lord Rex also admired Salin, Salin was only a second-level magician in her eyes. If he forcibly increases his strength, it will ruin the teenager.
"There are some hidden dangers in him, so it's better to deal with them as soon as possible. ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry, Salin's teacher, it should be from Alchemy City, harmless to the Empire. ”
Lord Rex nodded, Alchemy City is also one of the pillars of the empire, if Salin's teacher is from there, he really has nothing to worry about. It's just that she doesn't understand why the teacher is so optimistic about Salin and recommends him to Master Roy.
