Chapter 258 258. Trophies, Key to the Floating Island
The post-war processing work went very quickly.
With the assistance of two high-status moles, the Duke's legion barely made any waves and was completely suppressed by the team of knights and mages led by Rob.
Those who were lucky enough to survive were captured, while the souls of those who died were dispersed and buried on the spot. In just half a day, the military camp was completely buried under the thick soil.
As if nothing happened, green grass and shrubs will cover this place.
The mages were all entangled by a wriggling purple-red vine, and the thorns penetrated deeply into their flesh and blood, preventing the circulation of magic power.
The knight warriors and the Nar monsters were all put into special cages, and were personally supervised by the knight bamboos to ensure that they would not have the chance to resist or escape.
These usually aloof knights, mage warriors, at this moment fully experienced the feeling of being prisoners, and they did not even dare to ask Croya to give the nobles the comfortable treatment they deserve.
Because they have seen that another group of knight mages who had been flirting with Ian and Yasos for a long time escaped without any obstruction.
“They did it on purpose! Hanjiao Island and the Duke’s son cooperated!”
Saw this scene.
They knew that even if they barely survived, it would be impossible for them to receive any rescue from Olivier and the Nar family, or... it would be better not to live at all.
Involved in the struggle of nobles for power, those nobles don't care so much.
They were dragged to Hanjiao Island.
Soon, the specific list of people was handed over to Croya -
"Seventy battle mages, fifty Nar monsters, thirty second-level knights , thirty second-level warriors."
After looking at the list carefully, Croya told Talling, who had returned, "Detain them separately on Kufa Island and Zhuli Island.
Ask them to tell as much as possible about the knowledge and martial arts they have learned. Whoever speaks more will get better treatment. "
These are the people brought by the Duke. Everyone should have some knowledge more or less. Even the most scattered knowledge inheritance can become a classic as long as it can be integrated and compiled.
“Okay.”
Ta Ling, who had been playing outside for a while, could be said to be full of motivation and immediately arranged these trivial matters.
After the arrangement, it said: "Rob wants to step down as housekeeper, and his family will be back soon.
He wants to make up for the regrets of this period and take his family to enjoy it. "
Croya was slightly startled: "That's it, that's good."
The mage put down the things in his hands temporarily, thought seriously for a while, and reached out to the crystal in front of him. Write and draw on the board.
Then he said to Taling: "According to the arrangements above, Rob has helped me so much, he should enjoy a leisurely life for the rest of his life."
Taling looked at it curiously I glanced at the crystal plate and saw a series of unimaginable exaggerated arrangements and privileges such as "Sun Magic Circle Treatment", "Mermaid Song Adjustment", "Island Construction and Decoration", "Customized Whole Body Magic Weapon"... and so on. treatment.
This was tailor-made for Rob by Croya based on his current abilities. Even the king cannot enjoy it.
"You are so kind to him."
It sighed and immediately made arrangements, and then transported some sundries through the Mu Yaoqu Vine King.
It was a small mountain of wands, books, and various small magic tools and amulets.
The aura of magic flickers on it, even if it is piled up casually like a pile of garbage, people can't take their eyes away.
Cloya glanced at the tower spirit suspiciously.
“What are you doing for me?”
Taling immediately said: “These were found from those prisoners.”
“I was screened and sent to Everyone in front of you has some magic power. Master, don’t you want to experience the fun of counting the trophies?”
There was an obvious hint of encouragement in its voice, and it seemed that it wanted Croya very much. I can dig through this pile of loot.
After hearing what it said, Croya looked at the huge "garbage pile" in front of him and suddenly felt that it became very pleasing to the eye.
"Then let me take a look."
Kloya simply reached out and started to flip through it. First, he took out a bunch of magic books recorded by mages, which were all filled with these battle mages. Experience in casting spells yourself.
For example, for simple magic like fireball, each book has a different understanding of it, and there are even ways to cast war array spells.
"A complete array of battle mages." Croya's eyes lit up. He did not expect that this kind of thing could be completely recorded in writing.
You must know that even the Mage Association never keeps records in writing or on paper. They are all kept in the mind of the president. If anyone needs to instill canned knowledge.
"Maybe they never thought they would be captured." Talling said: "After all, they are the Duke's men. In the Kingdom of Norland, even the king cannot enter the Duke's territory at will. "
"It's also possible." Croya nodded, threw away the book he was reading, and ordered unceremoniously: "Help me organize all the magic in these magic books."< br>
"You must pay special attention to the battle mage array inside. After you sort it out, hand it over to the apprentices in Golden Apple Paradise as soon as possible and let them try it."
"..."< br>
“You are really getting lazy.”
Taling complained, and conscientiously began to sort out the magic in the magic book that Croya threw - it will contain every page of the magic book. The text and images are all scanned, and then sorted and repaired through its own attached smart array.
Its main task is to adaptively screen and modify those magics that are obviously subjective, at least to modify the requirements such as magic power and mental power to the extent that most people can use it.
While it was being sorted out, Croya was not idle either. He first looked through the magic book in general, and then circled the parts that interested him.
Time passes slowly.
One after another, Croya flipped through the magic books and threw them to the tower spirit. They divided the work and worked together, and quickly read most of them.
Don’t mention it, Croya really found some interesting magic in it.
For example, there was a battle mage who could not learn the flying technique no matter what, but actually found a new way to add the basic spell of Mage Hand to the flying carpet technique.
It is equivalent to using the hands of a mage to support yourself in flying. Although it is far less free than flying, the magic power and mental power consumed are greatly reduced, and the difficulty of learning is not high.
There is also a battle mage who is extremely confident in his ice shield skill. He maintains the ice shield skill even when sleeping. However, he unexpectedly discovered that the ice shield skill was actually integrated with his mental power, bringing with it a touch of The deep cold that belongs to the magic power of ice.
It is simply incredible to go from a spell that can resist some physical attacks to a spell that can resist mental attacks.
In addition, there is a female battle mage who used Hydration, a magic that can maintain the magic power of the magic circle from leaking, on her body. As a result, her appearance and skin were maintained after the magic was cast. form at that time.
I even found a copy of "The Mystery of Death: A Beginner's Guide to Necromantic Magic".
In short, Croya was amazed by these magics.
Alternative flying skills, mental protection magic, facial beauty...
He suddenly realized that although he had provided the apprentices with resources that even the Mage Association could not provide, he had neglected more Diverse education.
If the apprentices are allowed to play freely in different environments, they may bring more surprises to them.
So, after he finished flipping through the magic book, he thought briefly for a while and said to the tower spirit: "Let the apprentices choose whether to go out to the north for a trial."
" When going out, everyone must bring a bottle made of sun crystal and the neural mycelium produced by the myconid. Even if they die unfortunately, they can still enter the Hall of Heroes."
"You must bring enough supplies."
He explained a bit verbosely.
“Yes.”
Ta Ling immediately went to make arrangements.
Croya continued to search for useful things in the treasure, carefully studied the magic tools, and wrote and drew from time to time, trying to make some more useful magic tools.
He was just obsessed with studying magic and seemed to have forgotten something, but he just squinted his eyes and thought about it and didn't care.
……
The other side.
Estner and the representative of the royal family, Mibeka, have entered the Northern Territory. After they entered the Northern Territory, they were closely escorted and guarded by the apprentices.
The apprentices did not hide it at all and directly surrounded the car they were riding in, and even applied for sky fire support.
If there is anything unusual, it is probably the fire falling from the sky.
Of course, this is aimed at Mibeka, not Estner - most of the current apprentices are former serfs and civilians, and they really don't have a good impression of the royal family.
Especially after being invaded by the two dukes, they are now extremely distrustful of outsiders.
Mibeka was sitting in the comfortable open-top Golem car, facing the somewhat bleak autumn wind in the north, with a curious expression on her face.
She looked left and right, her eyes resting on the straight road below the car for a long time, until her eyes became a little blurred before she looked away.
The white road is like a road to worship the gods.
"Master Estner, here..." The princess considered the words: "Did the great mage create it alone?"
You must know that such roads are not common even in the royal capital, let alone in the fringe areas far away from the royal capital.
The Northern Territory is of course famous among the royal family. The royal family has also sent some people to explore the reality of the Northern Territory.
However, after many attempts, they all failed. Even the elite spies and mages in the royal capital were unable to extend their tentacles into the North. This place is like a magic barrier. As long as someone comes in, It will be discovered.
So this was the first time she saw the changes in the North.
Absolutely shocked.
Estner glanced at the princess and smiled: "Of course, my friend Cloya created this place herself."
"Please fasten your seat belt, because with you here, we have to change a route into the depths of the north to reach Hanjiao Island."
"Huh?" Mibeka was slightly startled.
Then she suddenly felt that the car under her body seemed to "jump up and then drive smoothly towards the sky. Under the car, the originally white road seemed to become a little darker.
Looking carefully, this seems to be a road made of pure white clouds - the surrounding scenery has changed, and the exquisitely built houses and street lights along the way have completely disappeared, replaced by thick clouds
The clouds were erratic with the flow of the wind, but they always blocked their sight, unable to see through the scenery beyond the clouds.
"..."
No matter how stupid Mibeka was, she would not realize it. She can no longer see the specific situation in the north. In her mental perception, there are powerful magic circles around this road.
It is estimated that even a sixth-level magician cannot forcefully pass through it. Toru, naturally couldn't see what was beyond the clouds.
She smiled bitterly: "I came with the goodwill of the royal family! ”
There is not much anger in these words, that is, helplessness.
After all, the other grand dukes basically have the same attitude towards the royal family. The saying that the wind can bring in the rain and the king can't is not just talk.
“It’s nice to see here.” This was the first time Estner saw this cloud road, which was built specifically for outsiders to visit.
He lay directly on the soft seat, his eyes lingering in the bright clouds and mist illuminated by the sun around him, watching the clouds roll and relax, enjoying the cool wind.
Should I say it, this experience seems to be even better than down there.
Mibeka had no choice but to enjoy the rare experience of moving forward on this flawless road of white clouds.
As a "dedicated road for welcoming guests", there is actually not only the same clouds and mist here, but also some exquisite buildings in the looming clouds and mist.
It was an architectural form that Mibeka had never seen before. The pavilions made of white jade were full of simplicity and natural harmony, as if they should exist among these clouds and mist.
“It’s so beautiful.”
“This is what the Kingdom of God is like.”
She couldn’t help but sigh, and when she continued to look carefully, she saw the people living in the Inside those buildings were actually strange snakes with wings.
They shuttled tirelessly among the clouds, seeming to be busy with something. When they got tired, they would go into those quaint buildings to rest.
“What are they doing?”
Mibeca’s curiosity was immediately aroused.
But unfortunately, no one answered her doubts. The car quickly passed through the road created by the Phantom Cloud Snake and arrived at the destination at an extremely fast speed.
That is, the welcoming hall on the seaside.
Miffin stood at the door, looking at the sky.
Beside him stood the apprentice Samuel, who was preparing to greet the guests. The mayor of Hanjiao Town asked curiously: "Mr. Miffin, why did you have to let them go up there?
In fact, if you ask, they can use the road below to get here."
Hearing this, Mifein smiled: "This is not possible, she is a member of the royal family, even if it is me. My sister can’t just peek into the north.”
“The development here is really good. If the royal family knew about it, they would definitely do something stupid.”
"I used to be a member of the royal family, so I know them very well."
Samir: "..."
Isn't this the same thing as telling yourself that you are not a good person?
He didn’t ask any more questions, but Miffyin looked at the young and somewhat exaggerated mayor and continued: "Mr. Rob has already told me that he plans to retire.
You will probably take over the future. You will stay with me during this period, and I will tell you everything I know.”
“Ah? You want to teach me personally?” Samir blinked and asked in surprise: "Rob is retiring?"
His heart was pounding suddenly - when Rob retires, does he want him to take over the job of the castle's housekeeper?
"Yes." Mifein nodded: "His son and wife will be back soon. He plans to step down as housekeeper and enjoy life with his family."
"Clo Ya personally planned his life plan after retirement."
A look of envy appeared on the young bishop's face: "If I can have such a fertile land to rest well after countless years of hard work. That’s good.”
He was really jealous.
You must know that even in the Church of the Mother Earth, it is basically impossible to truly rest. You must devote yourself to God until the end of your life.
Samir scratched his hair: "Isn't this very simple? Just tell Lord Croya when you want to rest.
Will Sir still reject you? "Request?"
"..." Mifein blinked and suddenly felt that he might have really thought too much.
Yes, will Croya refuse his request?
When he thought that he could happily enjoy his retirement life, he could not suppress the smile on his face. Mibeka, who came by car, looked puzzled.
This, isn't this her brother?
She has never seen Miffy smile like this.
Mibeka called out with some hesitation: "Brother?"
"Yes." Mifein's expression changed quickly after seeing her, and returned to that kind of warm but somewhat distant smile.
"Don't call me brother, dear Mibeka."
"..."
Seeing this, Mibeka was sure that this was his brother. , no change.
......
After receiving Mibeka and Estner, Miphiin personally took them across the sea-crossing bridge and arrived at Hanjiao Island.
Then I saw Croya coming over.
After all, it was a matter of giving him a token of the duke, which was somewhat important, so Croya took the time to rush over.
"Master Croya."
Mibeka did not delay and took out the things he brought from the royal family - a scepter engraved with a map of the North and a small White gold compass.
"This is your scepter. You will be the Duke of Hanjiao from now on. The other one is the key to the floating island promised to you by the royal family."
Cloya took the two things casually and glanced at this The princess of the royal family smiled and said: "You are also a guest. Let Mifein take you around and bring some gifts back."
"I will solve the mermaid clan's affairs."
"Estner, please come with me."
After saying that, he disappeared directly with Estner. There are only weak to almost imperceptible spatial fluctuations in the air.
Mibeka was dumbfounded.
She has never seen such a casual person.
Mifein patted her face: "Let's go, what are you thinking about? Is the Duke of a kingdom very precious?"
"If it weren't for the floating The key to the island, he didn’t even have time to see you.”
“…”
The princess once again clearly recognized Croya's attitude, sighed deeply, and did not feel offended by the royal family's status.
After all, strength is everything.
Thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes~I am very grateful.
