Chapter 113 Times have changed
"Lord Lucian, if we go further we will reach the Principality of Black Marsh." Gagarin said loudly in front of the carriage.
"Okay, I understand." Lucian opened his eyes, and then looked at Carly, who seemed to be a little shy of the countryside. "Carly, your hometown is in the Principality of Black Marsh..."
"Black Rock Ridge in the Principality of Black Marsh, which is the territory of Earl Black Rock." Carly whispered, but at this time she had calmed down, and the expectation in her eyes was much less.
"You're not looking forward to returning to your hometown, aren't you?" Lucian looked at Carly, feeling a little strange.
"No... mainly because I came here, but I don't know who I want to see. After all, my parents passed away a long time ago..."
Carly whispered, and at the same time, she performed a witchcraft. Under the influence of witchcraft, her body began to transform from a fairy body to a human body. Soon, a few freckles appeared on Carly's face, but It turned into the original human appearance again.
Lucian looked at Carly, who was slightly depressed at this time, and he gently patted Carly on the shoulder. "We're here now, let's just say goodbye to the past."
"Yeah." Carly nodded heavily.
"Gagarin, let's take a detour to Blackstone Ridge." Lucian ordered.
"Yes, Lord Lucian." Gagarin raised his riding crop, but in his heart he was somewhat envious of the harmonious teacher-student relationship between Carly and Lucian.
If it were any other tutor, it would have been very tolerant to allow the student to return to his hometown on his own, but now Lucian is actually willing to take a detour just for Carly to see his hometown?
Carly looked out the window silently, but her feet moved slightly unconsciously.
"Stop shaking, have you finished the homework I assigned you?" Lucian was also a little dazed by Carly's swaying feet. He glanced at Carly, who seemed to be inexplicably excited at this time. , it feels like it’s time to pour cold water on something familiar again.
"It's still a little bit short, but I have a clue now." However, to Lucian's surprise, Carly's answer was full of confidence, and she seemed to have a solid grasp of the improved potion formula.
"Then I'll wait and see." Lucian nodded lightly. He originally thought of teaching the formula of [Strength Potion Large] directly to Carly, but now if Carly has an idea, it wouldn't be right to let her figure it out on her own. A bad thing.
"Teacher Lucian, just keep an eye on it." Carly raised her little head, her eyes full of confidence.
Previously, she tried to prepare the medicine through fermented blood energy fruit. Although the characteristics of the fermented blood energy fruit seemed to have undergone some changes, which led to some slight flaws in the original preparation method, the effect of the medicine prepared in this way was compared to The original version has also been slightly improved.
Carly believed that as long as she could improve the preparation process for the fermented blood energy fruit, the final potion would be more effective than the original physical potion.
"Okay, if you really do it, I have a reward here." Lucian encouraged with a smile.
Carly's eyes grew brighter.
…
Blackstone Ridge is located in the southeast of the Black Marsh Principality and is a relatively barren earl territory.
This place is famous for the production of a kind of stone called "black stone". Because of the mining of black stone, the vegetation on some of the hills here has been cleared and turned into dark open-pit mines.
The land is barren and it is located on the border of the Black Marsh Principality, so Black Rock Ridge rarely sees travelers from outside the territory. But today, two exceptionally gorgeous carriages drove into Black Rock City, which immediately attracted the attention of many residents.
"It's such a big carriage. It feels bigger than the count's carriage..."
"What's that carriage? Look at the two horses responsible for pulling the carriage. Have you seen the little bulge on the top of the horse's head? These are wildebeests. They were researched by the great wizard and have the blood of the legendary Warcraft. A top-notch horse, a wildebeest alone is worth at least three thousand gold crowns..."
Gagarin, who was in charge of driving the bus, listened to the discussion of these ignorant people with an indifferent expression, but he was a little amused in his heart.
Gold crown?
It is just currency used by mortals. You must know that when Lucian purchased these two carriages, he paid for magic stones, which cannot be measured by currency used by mortals.
"You just crushed one of our chickens to death, call your master out, I want him to compensate!" Just as Gagarin closed his eyes and thought about a witchcraft model in his mind, a sharp voice came out When he heard the sound, he couldn't help but open his eyes, only to see a somewhat shrewish-looking woman holding the waist and stopping the carriage, with greed in her eyes.
Gagarin narrowed his eyes, but when he looked at Lucian behind him who was meditating with his eyes closed, he did not take action directly, but gave a cold drink. "Go away."
But this woman lay down directly on the ground and kept rolling, "I bumped into someone! I bumped into someone!"
Hula la...
As she shouted, two teams of patrolling security teams quickly ran out from the alleys on both sides and surrounded the two carriages. The leader's eyes showed some greed that could not be concealed.
"You are obstructing public order, I will arrest you all first, and you will be detained until..."
"What's going on?" Lucian felt the noise outside, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Lord Lucian..." Gagarin explained in a low voice.
"Let's deal with it." Lu Xian sighed, understanding that the two carriages and horses he purchased had caused trouble. "Yes, Lord Lucian." Gagarin narrowed his eyes and looked at the captain who was holding a ceremonial sword and had already come to the carriage to look at the "trophy". He directly stretched out his Left hand.
call--
A small flame appeared, and then it landed on the roe-headed and rat-eyed team leader, immediately setting him on fire.
"Ah ah ah..." The team leader wailed loudly. Under Gagarin's intentional control, the power of the flames was not particularly violent, but "slowly roasted", which made the captain feel extremely painful, but it was difficult to die for a while.
"Wizard! He is a great wizard!" The other patrol members and residents looked at Gagarin with awe. They even took the initiative to distance themselves from the team leader, fearing that he would be harmed if he got too close. This attracted the wizard's wrath.
"Wayne, and you, Kelexi, kill them quickly, otherwise my brother-in-law..." At this time, the team leader kept rolling on the ground, but the flames could not be extinguished.
"Sir, have mercy! My lord, have mercy!" The woman who had stopped the carriage before looked at the miserable scene of the team leader, her legs were trembling a little, and she knelt down directly, but there were already water stains on her clothes.
Gagarin glanced at the woman, but directly threw a witchcraft.
Suddenly, dense feathers sprouted from the woman's body, and her body began to shrink. In the end, she turned into a hen with frightened eyes.
"Whoa, whoa, whoosh..." The hen flapped its wings and fled, but a fresh egg was left in its place.
When the other residents and members of the patrol team saw this scene, they couldn't help but panic in their hearts and hurriedly fled, fearing that they would suffer disaster.
Lucian walked out of the carriage at this time, looked at the squad leader who was still wailing and rolling on the ground, and gently stretched out his hand.
Wow - the squad leader's left hand was bent unnaturally, but as his left hand bent, the flames on his body dissipated.
"Ah...ah!" He was still in a daze after having just experienced the torture of fire, and he couldn't help shouting.
"Sir, you are kind." Gagarin bowed his head and praised.
"Mercy?" Lucian looked at the dazed squad leader not far away, and then at Gagarin who bowed his head humbly.
"So...is this already kindness?" Lu Xian sighed, but no longer thought about it, but looked at Gagarin, "There is too much movement here, I guess there will be a city later. The manager came over on his own initiative... Gagarin will take care of it later, Carly and I have some things to do."
"Yes, sir." Gagarin looked at the team leader who was holding his left hand and running away like a pee. He thought for a while, but silently changed the witchcraft just now, so that the one he used to transform into a hen A woman can return to her human form after three hours.
…
At this time, Lucian and Carly were walking on the streets of Black Rock City together. Although both of them wore hoods that concealed their faces, because they had restrained their auras, they were not as excited as when they had just taken the carriage. draw other attention.
As Carly, who grew up in Black Rock City, she naturally became Lucian's guide at this time.
"This is the street where I lived when I was a child..." Whenever Carly walked to a familiar place, she would tell Lucian some of her stories here.
"Grandpa Simon!" Suddenly, Carly looked at a grocery store on the street and an old man who was dozing in front of the grocery store. She couldn't help but cheered, and then ran over.
"Is it...Carly?" The old man seemed a little confused at first, but when he saw the person clearly, there was a smile in his eyes, and then he gently pulled off a small piece of preserved fruit from the counter. , handed it to Carly.
"I heard that you seemed...where did you go to study?" Simon looked at Carly and seemed to remember that Carly had left Blackstone Ridge for quite some time.
"Well, I went to Ashbone Academy, and this is my mentor Lucian..." Carly seemed very excited at this time. She was eating preserved fruit and chatting with the old man for a long time before she was satisfied.
"Grandpa Simon is a very nice person, but...sigh." After they separated from Simon, Carly said with some sigh.
Lucian stuffed the preserved fruit in his hand into his mouth, "If you are willing, you can help him."
"Help? But this matter at least requires..." Carly was stunned.
"You are now a third-level wizard apprentice, and you can even become an official wizard in the foreseeable future." Lucian looked at Carly, "You want to help an ordinary person now, let alone solve the little problems in his son. It's a crime. Even if you want their family to become a noble and own a territory, it's just a matter of one sentence. "
"Is it just a sentence?" Carly was a little confused, as if she hadn't fully recovered from the change in her identity.
"This is the change brought about by strength." Lucian patted Carly's shoulder gently.
