Da Da Da –

Amid a series of hooves, three tall horses galloped along the uneven road, and a full set of fine harnesses made of cooked cowhide and wrought iron were neatly draped, leading the three gray-robed men on them to move forward quickly, leaving only dust and smoke behind them.

It's just that at this time there are only two horses with people riding, and one horse is empty, and on the other hand, there is one horse riding two people.

The two co-riders can be seen being one larger and one smaller, and the smaller one is almost clinging to the other in a half-hung position.

Soon, there was an intersection – or rather the intersection of several roads – where three roads from different directions converged into a wider road.

A half-old wooden sign stood at the junction, with several lines of lingua franca above it, but it had become so faint in the wind and sun that it was vaguely recognizable as a place name.

Herod –

As soon as he pulled the reins, the muse skillfully brought the horse to a halt.

Turning his head and nodding at Luden, he gestured for him to take out the map and compare it with the place name on the wooden sign to confirm the location.

Immediately, the muse reached to his side waist, patted a pair of small hands tightly around his waist, and said, "Little sleeping cat, get up!"

And with the words of the muse, the little cat girl Lu who was clinging to his arms moved for a moment, then shook her head and threw off the hood of the gray robe, revealing a small head, looking at the muse with sleepy eyes.

"You can fall asleep this way......"

"Although I was negligent, I can't ride a horse at all with your size, but ......"

“......”

The muse said as she gently stroked Lu's little head, but Lu apparently didn't care, and continued to half-open her hazy eyes, as if she would fall asleep again the next moment......

"Forget it......"

With a sigh, the muse wiped it on his waist, and then took out a lot of small dried fish and fed Lu to eat them one by one.

While Lu was eating the dried fish in a daze, a dark golden light suddenly flashed in the muse's eyes, and then a faint scanning aura appeared, submerging into Lu's body.

The complex scan results were quickly fed back, and then turned into concise and clear conclusions into the muse's mind.

"The efficiency of the digestive system has been greatly improved......"

"Accelerated ...... hormone secretion"

"Metabolism intensifies ......"

“......”

"Slight weight gain ......"

"Height Acceleration ......"

“......”

With a slight glance, the muse knew what was going on.

"It's growth time?"

"It's also normal......"

The second type of bestiary is the product of forbidden experiments conducted by wizards in the era of the "Wizard's Calamity", and was created as a special servant against the gods.

For this reason, wizards have made specific concoctions to this race, so that they are naturally more powerful, physical, and agile, but at the cost of this are generally not high in mental attributes and not much in intelligence.

Not only that, but in order to make these cultivated minions become usable powers more quickly, the wizards also deliberately shortened the life cycle of the second type of beasts, greatly increasing the rate of their growth and development.

According to some ancient texts, the primordial second type of beast man cultivated by wizards only needs to go through about seven days of juvenile period to grow from a newborn baby to a juvenile period with a certain combat effectiveness, and after another seven days can enter the high-speed growth period, under the condition of ensuring sufficient food, it only takes one month to grow to youth, and then it is an adult period that lasts about ten years!

The principle has also been studied thoroughly, that is, to compress the original 100-year vitality of a life by ten times, and then burst out, bringing about an all-round enhancement of physical fitness, growth rate and reproduction ability!

Although this growth characteristic of the second type of bestioid has been greatly diminished by the dilution of the bloodline over a long period of time, it still persists, although the time range of each period varies from a few years to a dozen years.

Obviously, Lu is now transitioning from adolescence to a high-speed growth period!

"Now it's just a transitional state......"

"It's not a big drain. ”

“......”

"Just speed it up. ”

"Let's get to the Mage Federation as soon as possible......"

Thinking so, Muse looked at Lu, who began to doze off again after eating the dried fish, and silently closed the hood of the gray robe again......

At this time, Luden, who had gone to compare the map, also returned, and reported to the muse: "My lord, it has been confirmed. ”

"We've reached the vicinity of Yorktown. ”

"Not far behind Yorktown, is the gateway to the Northlands. ”

“......”

"According to some information I have previously heard, Yorktown is the fiefdom of Sir Ben Leming......"

"Sir Ben Leming was enshrined in the Golden Lane Empire of Ferreton and was newly promoted by knights......"

“......”

After listening to Luden, the muse nodded that he already knew, and then waved his hand to let Luden get back on the horse, but he tried to think about the general situation of the Northland at this time......

The political maps of the Northland region and the southern region are quite different.

It had been a long time since there had been a strong empire in the southern region, and the system of city-states was more prevalent, but it hung under the name of a kingdom, and there were many smaller principalities.

If the Muse remembers correctly, there were six kingdoms, eighteen principalities, thirty-one city-states, and more than five hundred cities.

In the south, the kingdom's control was limited to its own territories and was also divided among its own subordinates, so power was extremely dispersed.

Nearly half of the cities in the entire southern region were run by nobles, councils, and temples, and they were inextricably linked.

However, the Northland Plateau has always had several powerful empires, under which a strict aristocratic feudal system was practiced.

Every nobleman who is truly canonized will own a fief as his own domain, and the entire territory, except for the self-cultivated land of the freedmen, will belong to the lord himself, even the jungle and creatures in the wild!

At the same time, above the territory, what the lord says is the law!

Needless to say, there are all kinds of systems like these, but they are such systems that firmly support the juxtaposition of several empires in the Northland!

The Ferreton Golden Lane Empire is one of the most powerful of them all!

In the gap between these powerful empires, there are some weaker kingdoms and principalities, which are far less in size than their strong neighbors, simply because the major empires need a buffer zone.

But one of these small kingdoms has no less influence than a powerful empire!

- Mage Federation!
