Chapter 32 32. It seems that there will be an unexpected trip
Annan, who became a warlock, is like a young man who has just packed his luggage and is ready to go out for adventure. The wonderful and dangerous real world outside the door is waiting for him.
But before traveling far, Annan still had many things to prepare.
For example, meditation combined with magic power enhancement.
Magic is like a gold coin, it doesn't fall into your pocket by itself.
There is no summoning meditation method in Mr. Victor’s underground vault, but Lindy said it can be found at Winchet Manor in Breeze City.
"Is there a magic academy in Breeze City?"
When Annan asked, Victor suddenly said: "You'd better go to Breeze City with Lindy yourself."
"Why?"
"There is a proverb in the mage circle, called 'Legends will not emerge from the mage tower on their own'"
Just a proverb and not a truth. But for Annan, this sentence is the truth - Annan's common sense is appallingly low.
Victor remembered that a few days ago, after Annan read a certain book, when he said goodbye that evening, he put his right hand on his forehead in a hollow hand.
Don’t ask Victor how he knows, but this ancient etiquette was eliminated when there was no Saint Laurent calendar!
Before Annan takes this thing out as a novelty and embarrasses it, Victor must fill his head with knowledge. Even if he is a warlock.
Annan could hear that Mr. Victor was sarcastic about him, but he didn't understand what he had done wrong. It was Lindy who told him: the magic academy is only in the royal capital. In a remote and remote border place like Breeze City, there is not even a second mage tower.
There's nothing we can do about it... Annan, whose knowledge comes entirely from books and stories, is seriously lacking in macro-cognition. If the world is compared to a puzzle, then every book and every story is just an insignificant piece of the puzzle.
Lindy said that the carriage to Breeze City can be prepared and can set off tomorrow morning.
Annan said he would go back and ask, but actually he wanted to ask Fast.
"City Breeze? You should go there. The Wine Lady will be happy to meet you too."
Looking at the boy in front of me who was a waiter not long ago, he suddenly became a warlock. , Fast said with emotion: "You don't have to call me sir anymore."
He joked: "The status of a spell caster is much higher than that of our stinky warriors."
"Okay Fast."
"You guy..."
< br>There was still some time until the pub opened, and Annan ran to the wine cellar to visit Tasia.
"I've finished reading." Tasia returned Annan's own book to him.
"Then let's go to the library early tomorrow. I'm going to Breeze City in the morning."
"Breeze City..." The quiet Tasia showed a hint of curiosity, "What's it like there?"
< br>"I don't know yet. I'll tell you when I come back."
Back above, the bard greeted Annan: "Fast said you are going to Breeze City? I suggest you bring some people with you. ."
"Why?"
"A spellcaster who can't cast spells and has no professional protection..." The bard was more happy than worried, "If the female rat people find out, you will be robbed and become a fertility machine."
Annan I remember the origin of this joke - the bard told a story about a "slum warlock boy who was kidnapped by a female rat man and turned into a breeding machine". At that time, I and my guests, who didn't understand much common language, listened very seriously...
Annan really wants to say, isn’t this better? But the so-called "breeding" may not be what you imagine.
“Didn’t I say that there are no ratmen in Pulang’enci County?”
Prang’enci County is in the north, and the rat people who like warmth and humidity prefer to stay in the south.
"Uh..."
The bard suddenly couldn't answer, and it was Fast who came to his rescue: "Ratmen are a highly adaptable race. They are always improving themselves and splitting into countless ethnic groups... …When I was in the southern swamp, I destroyed a rat lair that was as weak as a kobold, and I also encountered a rat warrior who destroyed a team of elite professionals.”
“That’s right!” The bard picked up the topic, "They are very good at disguising themselves as elves. They have strong and flexible bodies and are good at using bows and rapiers. Breeze City happens to be surrounded by vast remote ridge woodlands." If it weren't for their formidable desire to reproduce and their desire for reproduction, The loyalty of the ethnic group is actually a good substitute for elf subordinates for nobles with special habits...
"I am a gifted warlock, not a blood warlock..."
"If they are picky, they are not rat people. From scholars to warriors to mages, they are all within their target range."
As for the blood warlocks who will continue the power of the blood, they are even more popular targets.
"And it's almost the rainy season." Fast looked at the north from the perspective of a soldier, as if he could see the vast mountains in the background.
As the weather warms and the snow melts, the magic wave from the north may hit the snow mountain fortress at any time.
“Who should I take with me?”
Annan decided to listen to their advice, but could not find a suitable candidate.
Take Martin with you?
"Tasia and I are with you." Soruman Bronzebeard, who was carrying the wine barrel, put down the wine barrel with a bang in Fast's expression of pain, "That Winchet family The little girl will also go, right? "
Tasia is not a professional and has no combat skills, but her tauren blood makes her comparable to ordinary combat professionals. Soruman Bronzebeard himself is also a warrior who is about to advance to the elite level.
"Me too——"
"Go back to work."
"Oh."
Martin continued to wipe the table.
"I can take Martin with me." Annan said hesitantly.
“Good cousin!”
"Go and work."
"Oh."
After Mr. Fast objected, Annan stopped insisting and looked at Soruman Bronzebeard who was hesitant to speak.
“Is there anything you want to tell me?”
“About our identities——”
"We will tell you the answer when you come back." Fast interrupted Soruman Bronzebeard again, and then handed a prepared note to Annan, "If you encounter trouble in Breeze City, Go to this address, and someone will help you.”
Why do you always feel that something will happen during this trip to Breeze City...
Annan can vaguely guess that Soruman Bronzebeard may. Say "that organization."
It just so happens that Youshang is also in Breeze City. He can ask about the publication progress of "The Law Breaks the Sky".
He stopped working tonight and ran to the manor where Lindy stayed temporarily - the mansion of Sir Sean, who he once worked as a groom.
"Please tell Lindy, I will go to Breeze City with her tomorrow morning."
The housekeeper still remembered him, and was surprised because he knew Lindy, and promised to tell Lindy.
Annan returned to Aunt Susan’s house and borrowed a cowhide suitcase with patches everywhere from Uncle Hollin. While putting the clothes in, he said to the worried Aunt Susan: “Don’t worry, Aunt Susan. , I will come back after I get the meditation method.”
After promising to come back soon with Aunt Susan, Annan closed the suitcase.
After a sumptuous dinner and a quiet night, Annan, Tasia, and Soruman Bronzebeard arrived at Ser Sean's mansion early the next morning.
"It feels so quiet. There are no people on the street."
Annan looked at the empty street shrouded in morning fog and got into the carriage.
The carriage carrying various members drove slowly out of Pinglin Town along the bluestone road.
