Chapter 532 Super Brave
It is difficult to describe Aldee's character as extrovert or introvert. When she interacts with people she is not interested in, she is mostly introverted, and due to her expressionless face, she will appear very cold and difficult to approach. .
But if you encounter something that interests you, it will be completely opposite.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and those who can be friends with Aldai are probably not serious people...
This can be seen from Ivan's appearance.
Fey creatures are a general term. Most of the creatures in this category come from a plane called the Fey Wilds, which is full of chaotic primitive magic and miracles. For example, what kind of apples can grow legs, and swarms of tumbleweeds can grow on the ground. Migration on the Great Plains, etc., are strange scenes that cannot be seen in the mortal world.
Most of the fey creatures are very beautiful, such as tree elves, water goblins, goblins and fairies, but there are also evil fey creatures. The most typical example is the hag, who looks like she is making soup in front of a big cauldron. Old witch.
And if you marry a fey creature and have children, the child will be born with the spell-casting ability of a fey creature. This kind of person has different names in different places, such as witch, son of disaster, etc. Anyway, they don't sound good.
However, the most recognized and widely used term is to call this type of person a warlock, which is a completely different type of spell caster than a mage.
The mage relies on his liver to cast spells, and knowledge is power.
It is the ancestors who determine the upper limit of a warlock. The more powerful the ancestors are, the stronger the warlock's spellcasting ability will be.
But having said that, it is still very rare for a fey creature like Ivan to have such obvious characteristics on the surface of his body. It usually only appears after a generation of mixed blood.
Seeing Zola and Nemea looking over, Ivan shrugged:
"This is about my dad. He is a man who dares to face the crow hag."
"..."
As I said just now, the appearance of the hag can no longer be described as ugly, it is completely disgusting. The crow hag is a subspecies of the hag. It has the characteristics of a bird and can fly short distances.
It's really brave to dare to face the hag head-on.
"Ivan resisted the call of the hag mother and did not become a hag. She is now a fey warlock, and she is also the most authoritative historical scholar among the people I know."
It sounds very magical. The way hags reproduce is to lure mortals with illusions. If the child is a boy, it will be strangled to death. If it is a girl, it will be raised by the father until the child grows to about ten years old. , you will receive the call from the hag mother, walk into the forest to accept the mother's hug, and eventually turn into a hateful hag.
Only a handful of people can resist this call and completely sever ties with the hag.
"It's annoying, I'm not the most authoritative."
Zola and Nemea were still shocked by the shocking words of someone who dared to go to the hag. Ivan didn't care at all about the amount of information he just said. He turned to Aldai and said:
"The spring seminar has just ended. You came back a little late, but I believe you must have made important new discoveries. It will be easy to hold another seminar in your own name."
"Wrong, I didn't come back this time to release new results."
Ivan was a little confused:
"You haven't solved your trouble yet? How long has it been?"
"It's not that simple..."
Aldai said, turning her eyes towards the mercenaries standing at the entrance of the alley looking into the crowd of scholars.
Ivan understood immediately and couldn't help but raise his forehead and said:
"What trouble did you get into?"
"I can't explain it in a sentence or two. In short, we have to leave the academic city immediately."
Listening to Aldai's tone, Ivan also understood that she was not joking.
"Okay, I will help you think of a solution." As she said that, Ivan pointed to a carriage transporting goods parked on the street. Then she separated from Aldai and looked towards her as if they just had a simple chat. Went in another direction.
Of course Aldai understood what she meant, and gestured to Zola and Neemia, who were still in shock, and the three of them approached the carriage.
The carriage was full of crates, and workers were moving them down to restock the stores on the street.
The act of approaching the carriage also separated the three of them from the crowd of scholars. The mercenaries saw them at a glance and hurried towards them.
Originally, the workers didn't pay much attention when they saw Aldai and the others approaching, thinking they were just passing by. Unexpectedly, Aldai waved her staff at the carriage, and the crates in the carriage immediately floated and fell to the ground one after another.
"Lend us the carriage."
He casually took out a small bag of gold coins and threw them over. Without waiting for the confused worker to reply, the three of them immediately jumped into the car. As Zola raised his whip, the carriage immediately sped out.
The mercenaries who were chasing behind thought to themselves that it was a bit nonsense to chase the carriage on two legs. They quickly sent people to use short-distance communication spells to contact others to pursue and intercept them.
Don't expect the horses to be as fast as war horses. They are usually mules and horses with good endurance. Aldai grabbed the shoulders of Zola who was driving the carriage with one hand and raised her staff to the horse with the other hand.
A whirlwind of cyan light surrounded the horses. They were clearly pulling the cart, but their speed suddenly increased, running at more than twice the speed of normal full speed.
If the horse can't do it, isn't there magic that can speed it up?
Not many people came out to hang out on the streets in the early morning. The magic-blessed horses pulled the cart and ran all the way. However, the truck bed had almost no shock absorption. The ups and downs of the bumps almost caused Nimi, who was sitting at the back of the car to look behind him. Throw it off.
With the carriage in hand and the main road on their way, the speed increased. Within a few minutes, the three of them saw the gate of the academic city.
The huge city gate was flashing with colorful magical auras, and countless translucent things that looked like eyes were hovering over the city gate, monitoring everyone trying to enter the city to see if there was anything wrong with them.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and the mercenaries were chasing after them on horseback.
Although there was magic to speed up the carriage, doubling the speed of the carriage, but after all, the foundation was too poor, and I watched the mercenaries approaching on horseback.
Casting a spell in such a bumpy environment is tantamount to seeking death. It is easy to fail to cast a spell and cause magic backlash. Neemia took out a hand crossbow as a secondary weapon to fight back, but because it was too bumpy, the arrow was shot and flew to who knows where.
Good news, we are not far from the city gate now, and we can rush out in just a few dozen seconds.
The bad news is that the city gates seem to be closing.
The gates of the academic city should be open day and night. In fact, a certain gate is only closed during maintenance to test whether the mechanical structure is operating normally.
I don’t know if it was just an accident, but Aldai and the others just happened to catch up.
Seeing that the city gate was about to close, the soldiers guarding the city gate also noticed the rapidly approaching carriage, and raised their weapons and shouted to stop Aldai and the others from approaching any further.
You definitely can't stop. If you stop and turn around now, you have to make a big circle to get to the next city gate. During this period, you will definitely be overtaken by mercenaries.
But if you forcefully break through, you may be stopped by soldiers. Don't forget, there are too many magics attached to the walls of the academic city, and forcing you to break through is tantamount to courting death.
At this critical moment, Ivan landed from the air behind the soldier and immediately said something to the officer next to him.
The latter was stunned for a moment, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to disperse, and the closing city gate also stopped.
Almost the next moment, Aldai and the others roared past in a carriage. Before leaving, Ivan even gave Aldai an OK gesture.
But the group of mercenaries were not treated so well. As soon as Aldai and the others rushed out of the city gate, the soldiers immediately returned to the place and shouted at the mercenaries to dismount.
No matter how unscrupulous the mercenaries were, they could not fight against the regular army. All of them could only watch as Aldai and the others' carriage ran farther and farther away, and soon disappeared on the field path outside the city...
