Dawn of the Grey Tower - V4 Chapter 128

Latest website: Snowflakes are falling in the sky again, turning into raindrops before they hit the ground. This shows that there is still room for the temperature to warm up, and perhaps the long deep winter imagined at the beginning will not come.

A group of people rode wildebeest on the grass by the Dragon’s Blood Creek. The road here was once passable, but after the Ratmen and the kingdom were separated, no one had the energy to manage it. better than ever.

Walking in such a landscape, people will inevitably wonder whether there is really a walled city behind them, whether there is really a city in front of them, and whether the wilderness will be endless.

Generally speaking, starting from the fortress at the foot of the mountain, it would take three days to ride a horse and a week to walk to reach Valley City from the fortress at the foot of the mountain. There were no villages that could be called post stations along the way.

The desolation of the Northland can be seen here. Materials are poor, and the population is relatively concentrated. The cold land is not suitable for reclamation. It is not so easy to open up wasteland.

But thanks to this, there are almost no bandits here. Firstly, they cannot wait for passers-by in such cold. Secondly, neither the Frost Guard nor the Ratmen are easy to bully groups.

In today’s Cangshi Kingdom, almost no one other than the Grand Duke of Hammer mentions the name of the Earl of Sarn. People have gradually forgotten this land. Anyway, there is Montenegro between the terrifying rat man and the core area of ​​the kingdom. With the collar as a buffer, they have given up worrying. This once caused a large number of criminals to escape punishment by fleeing here, but their fate was not completely consistent.

Lost in the wilderness, living in secrets, only a handful of people have the courage to go to the city of the Ratmen, and even fewer of them are likely to be accepted. As a result, several people did not see any traces of human activities along the way. The Frost Guards and their towns seemed to be forgotten in the corner of the world, without contact with the outside world. But the reality may not be the case.

The cheese looked around, as if confirming something, and then lightly moved the rein to let the wildebeest turn into the nearby woods. The others had already seen the strangeness, and just followed silently until they reached the side of the three big trees growing in a triangle shape.

There are no runes and magic circles, but this place is indeed a place filled with a mysterious atmosphere, because the three trees belong to different tree species, and it is indeed strange that they grow together at such an angle.

“It seems to work.” Cheese got off his horse and came to the front of the birch tree, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the pale bark, confirming that the spell contained in the old tree still existed and could be activated. Using the spell of tree transfer, goblins are good at it, and elves are also good at it. When cheese and the children of the forest came into contact, the other party also taught the magic of gray robe in order to show their favor.

The reason why he would rather teach magic than help mages build similar teleportation points is because he doesn’t know and doesn’t want to know how the cheese wants to lay the teleportation network, and secondly, he doesn’t want the gray robe to follow the spellcasting habits of the elves to crack them. Hundreds of years of transfer system.

But Cheese actually has no love for this kind of magic, so he only experimentally made two anchor points between the mountain fortress and the valley city.

This kind of teleportation anchor point generally has a limited number of people that can teleport. Cheese let Elsa and Youni teleport there first, and he and Peiwei took the second round. During the entire negotiation process, Elsa was not surprised by the teleportation at all, which made Yoni more convinced that she must also be a spellcaster.

But the fact is that Cheese invited Elsa to try it out after the construction of the anchor point was completed to check the effect of spells on ordinary people. Unlike the kind of magic built by elves that doesn’t need to be activated to take effect, the three-tree anchor built by Cheese needs the corresponding secret language and a little magic power injected by the user, which is to ensure that no one will get into it by mistake.

In the past, when Elsa wanted to use the teleportation magic, he personally activated it to send her away or pick her up. During the gray robe’s journey, no one activated these two anchor points.

Secret words echoed in the forest, and an inexplicable mist enveloped the three big trees. Elsa and Yuni led the wildebeest into the mist, letting the grayish mist surround them. When the fog dissipated, the trees around him were no longer the same, and the smell in the air was also different.

“Let’s go to the front and wait for a while. He said that this spell cannot be used continuously.” The red-haired lady took Youni to the front naturally, where there was a small rest point that she and Cheese had prepared before, and she collected it accurately It is a seat made of a horizontally cut flat log.

Cheese explained to her about Youni’s life experience, including the veterinary disease. The torment suffered by the young apprentice made Elsa deeply sympathetic, and she was glad that Cheese chose this child as his apprentice, although she also realized that where Cheese took Yuni, there were more in the same situation as the apprentice. child.

“Yes, Mrs. Elsa.” Youni said it as a matter of course. In the appellation system of the City of Laws, Mrs. is a more respectful title than Ms., and it’s not only married women who are called Mrs.

Spellcasters, male or female, are rare enough to marry and have children like ordinary people. When a female mage takes the title of wife, it sometimes means that they have dedicated their lives to magic research. However, in the Northland where there is no similar culture, the name of apprentice still made Elsa blush a little.

“I’m not used to this name…how do you call cheese?” Elsa didn’t say she didn’t like it, because it might make Yoni mistaken for dissatisfaction, but she was actually a little happy in her heart.

“Teacher, I call the teacher the teacher.” This is a mouthful, but it is indeed the truth.

“Then you call me…Master…No! You should call me Ma’am. After all, I am a diplomat now.” Elsa tilted her head and decided to let Youni call herself by a more official name.

“Yes, Ms. Elsa.” Of course, Youni didn’t care about these things. He hadn’t reached the age of being sensitive to appellations. Except for particularly outrageous names, the apprentice was still happy to call them what the other party wanted.

Elsa nodded in satisfaction, cleaned up the sediment on the surface of the log, took out the mat from her carry-on bag and laid it out, and called Uni to sit down, “We are very close to the valley city. Where is the city of the Ratman?” , UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is also the place where the Judiciary Tower is located. Have you seen the Ratman before?”

“I saw it once, when I was in Riverrun City.” Youni was talking about Jerry, who followed the demon and left Cangshi to learn how to be an assassin. Cheese had cooperated with the Ratman assassin in Riverrun City.

“That’s it. Are you afraid of mice?” Elsa hasn’t talked about the details with Cheese yet, and she doesn’t know the part about Jerry yet.

“Don’t be afraid, I like animals, all kinds of animals.” Youni answered the question very seriously, but his attitude made the questioner with a relaxed mind feel a little stiff.

“There’s no need to be afraid. I’m not trying to test you. It’s good that you like to touch animals. Most people can’t do it. Not to mention mice, there are still many people who are afraid of horses and wildebeests. Actually, I was Don’t like it either, so I’m worried you’ll be afraid of them.”

Elsa reached out and patted Yuni’s head lightly. Her warm smile made the apprentice even forget to resist, and let out a big breath.

She got up and went to the luggage bag, “Do you want to eat something? Although it is estimated that it is not as good as the pastries in big cities, do you want to try the pastries in the Northland?”
