Chapter 91 An and Gu Leiya
In this way, Duanmuhuai entered the Manalia Magic Academy as a student and began to study magic.
Of course, while he was studying, Lorena and Ogis were not idle either. They traveled around Manalia investigating the situation in this country.
Duanmuhuai discovered that most countries in this era were basically a large city-state, and this seemed to be the case for both the Holy City and Manalia. Take the Holy City as an example. The Holy City of Todheim is the political center of this country. The largest number of people live in the large city surrounded by city walls. Then, with the Holy City as the center, the roads spread out in all directions like a spider web. It is then divided into agricultural areas for growing crops, mining areas for mining minerals, etc., and the gathering places for people in these areas are based on small towns.
To put it simply, in this era, a large city plus several towns formed a city-state.
The same is true for Manalia, except that it has dual cores - Manalia Magic Academy and Manalia Royal City are divided into two different independent cities, guarding each other. The sum of the towns and areas located between the two cities is the size of Manalia.
Compared with the Holy City, Manalia's land area is larger, but it is limited.
What Ogis and Lorena need to investigate is the situation in Manalia, such as whether the society is stable, what stage of development it is at, what is needed to conduct business and trade with the Holy City... Luolei Na is the missionary priest of the church, so she must have done this.
Duanmu Huai has been studying magic in the magic academy.
Manalia's magic knowledge is still very rich, and their magic is indeed unique. For example, a technique called "Magic Amplification" is very interesting. This technique can reduce the consumption of magic in the later stage by using magic continuously.
The effect of converting it into a card is that if a large magic requires 100 spiritual energy, then when the user uses ordinary fast attack magic several times in a row, the cost of that large magic can be reduced through the "magic amplification" technique. It can even drop to zero in one go.
To put it bluntly, it is to use small magic to attack quickly in the early stage, use "magic amplification" to reduce the magic power consumption in the later stage, and then instantly cast several large magic spells with 0 consumption in one go, beating the opponent so hard that even his own mother will not recognize him.
In addition, there is another magic spell called "Secret Technique of Earth". The advantage of this magic is that it can be played steadily. Through the "Secret Technique of Earth", "the fragments of the earth" are refined, and then the attack and Defense capabilities to ensure that you will not be disconnected during the battle.
Of course, both techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. The magic released by "Magic Amplification" in the early stage is not powerful enough, and it is easy to be exploded in the later stage if it is not saved. But if you can save until the late stage, then a wave of magic blasts over and the opponent can only cry for father and mother.
On the other hand, the "Secret Technique of Earth" is relatively stable. Although there is no big late-stage explosion of "magic increase", it can ensure that it is always in a strong position during the battle.
Duanmu Huai was quite hesitant at first, but in the end he decided to learn "Magic Amplification". After all, for Duanmu Huai, he was not worried about the lack of defense and insufficient attack power in the early stage of "Magic Amplification". Maybe the thin mages in this academy need to worry about this, but for Duanmu Huai... he doesn't need to worry about insufficient defense and firepower at all.
And here, Duanmuhuai relived the long-lost campus life.
That's right, campus life is the same as before.
In the beginning, Duanmu Huai would cause commotion wherever he went. There were even cases where he went to the library to borrow books and was treated as a rampaging magic doll by the students. Later, after everyone found out that he was an envoy from the Holy City, they didn't make any more jokes, but no one dared to come and chat with him.
After all, Duanmu Huai's height is so high that most people can't see him in front of him. In addition, the armor itself is scary enough, and it is even more scary when he takes off the helmet, so everyone keeps a respectful distance from Duanmu Huai.
However, now that Duanmuhuai has long passed the sentimental age of adolescence, he doesn't take it seriously.
Moreover, he is not without friends.
"Ah, I found you, Mr. Knight!"
Duanmu Huai, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, raised his head and looked forward, only to see a brown-haired girl wearing a college uniform running over happily with her companions.
"You are indeed here, I guessed it."
"After all, I'm too lazy to move."
Looking at the brown-haired girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai also laughed and answered. The brown-haired girl in front of them is none other than the princess of Manalia who Duanmuhuai and the others met when they first came here - An.
I don't know if it's because of her status as a princess, but An Ye takes good care of guests like Duanmu Huai who come from afar. As time goes by, they become familiar with each other. In Duanmuhuai's opinion, An is a lively, cheerful, and a little reckless girl. She is usually very kind to people and very smart. I heard that her magic power is also the best in Manalia... This is not surprising.
Following An was a pretty girl with short dark red hair. But compared to her appearance, when anyone sees her for the first time, the first thing they pay attention to is the long tail that emerges from under her skirt, which is almost as thick as her legs, and the bright red wings behind her.
She is Ann's good friend, Gulea.
Ting An introduced that Gu Leiya came to Manalia to study from Regnis, the kingdom of dragons, another country on the Manalia continent. She is a hybrid of dragons and humans, and her father is the King of Regnis. Because she fell in love with a human, she gave birth to Gulea and sent her to Manalia to study. Compared with Ann, who is lively, cheerful and a bit reckless, Gu Leiya seems a bit introverted and not very good at talking. So most of the time, An was talking, and Gu Leiya was mainly responsible for listening.
But Duanmu Huai has seen her before.
That's... what he saw when he stimulated the resonance of his soul, the battle between humans and dragons. The one who fell from the sky at that time was Gu Leiya. It's just that Gulea looked more mature at that time than she does now, but other than that, there hasn't been much change.
So, the princess who led the humans to fight against and destroy the dragons was An?
Looking at An who was chatting happily and endlessly, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly. To be honest, just looking at the scene of such a good relationship between the two people in front of them, most people would never expect that the two sides would fight each other in the end.
Not only that, Duanmuhuai also noticed some contradictions.
According to An, although the current relationship between humans and dragons is not particularly harmonious, it has not reached the point of mutual hostility. Judging from the scene he saw before, Gulea seemed to be only slightly older than she is now, which means that the battle should take place in the near future.
But why does it happen?
What went wrong that started a war between humans and dragons?
"Mr. Knight? Mister Knight!!"
Duanmuhuai was thinking and didn't realize that An was talking to him. Seeing that Duanmuhuai ignored him, An also stretched out his hand and tried to shake it in front of him. However, the height difference between Duanmuhuai and An was too big. Even if An jumped around desperately and waved his hands vigorously, he could not reach Duanmuhuai's chin. So an angry An raised his finger and suddenly flashed a flash of light in front of Duanmu Huai.
"Hey!"
The flash of light flew by, startling Duanmu Huai, and then he came back to his senses and saw An Zheng puffing up his cheeks and looking at him.
"Ugh, what are you thinking about? Why are you always distracted?"
"Sorry, I was thinking about something else... Sorry."
"That's right, we two beautiful girls are chatting with you here. It would be rude if you were distracted."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, An nodded proudly.
"So... where did you say that?"
"Just before, I still want to hear your story, Mr. Knight."
"My story..."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai chuckled. Naturally, he is not here for nothing. At first, in order to liven up the atmosphere, An asked Duanmu Huai to talk about his adventures. After all, both she and Gu Leiya were princesses. Although it does not mean that they never leave the house without leaving the door, they definitely have something to do with the adventurous life. It's unfavorable. Therefore, they also yearn for a life of adventure.
Of course Duanmu Huai didn't mind this. You should know that he has experienced many adventures in the game, and many of the tasks are very worthy of emotion. He also shared them with the two of them. Of course, Duanmu Huai did not forget to explain to them about the Chaos Evil God. After all, the two of them would fight side by side with him in the future, so there was nothing wrong with knowing more about them.
The two of them are also quite enthusiastic about the story of Duanmu Huaihuai. Now, it has almost become their daily routine for the three of them to gather together and listen to the story about Duanmu Huaihuai during their daily break time.
"So, where did you talk about yesterday?"
"Because the Smurfs couldn't go home, they built a second empire!"
"Where is the Second Reich?"
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, you can't say this casually, the loyal Smurf has no secrets, right?
"Okay, let's continue..."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai glanced behind the wall next to him, and a humanoid thermal image was clearly visible. Well...that was none other than An's bodyguard, Owen, who had met Duanmu Huai before.
It's just that... Your Highness, why does your guard act like a stalker?
