Chapter 7: Inexplicable Hostility

"If only the general just had to charge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" is the voice of a middle-aged man, and the meaning of the sentence is derived from a famous proverb by Todel: "When a general draws his sword and kills the enemy in battle, the soldier has long since died." To the effect that a real general will charge into battle on his own only when there are no soldiers under him. This concept is especially recognized by the Victor Combat and Command Academy. Of course, at any time, there are generals who are known for their personal bravery, and in extreme situations where there is a huge disparity in strength, they can also lead their troops to miraculously win more with less in frontal battles, which is not contradictory, but it is not advocated by the mainstream.

Hearing this voice, Mo Lin and Barron put away the smile on their faces, and quickly turned to the direction of the sound, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a loose light yellow robe and holding a gray cane, looking at them kindly.

"Teacher Lawson!" Merlin called out respectfully with Barron, bowing earnestly.

Although Lawson was only a fourth-order priest, a junior advanced order priest to be exact, he was very knowledgeable and often lectured to students in the Juvenile Academy, so he could indeed be called a teacher by the two juveniles.

After the ninth level of learning is in the main position, the strength is divided according to the ranks, and at the same time, every three levels are given a large title, and the primary, intermediate, and advanced levels are used before the title to distinguish the three levels in a large title. For example, after a ninth-level apprentice becomes a first-order mage, he is called a junior full-time mage, while a high-level full-time mage, that is, a third-order mage, is called a junior advanced mage after entering a fourth-order mage.

In terms of Luo Sen's age of more than forty years alone, the fourth-order legal position is indeed not ideal, but he is an order priest, belonging to the Temple of Order, and dedicates his energy to the mission of inheriting knowledge, so he delays the training of magic power, but it is particularly admirable.

"How's the preparation going, these days?" asked Lawson.

"It's all ready!" replied Morin and Barron aloud.

Looking at these two energetic teenagers, Lawson sighed softly in his heart, they are both embryos with excellent potential, but they all have serious flaws: Barron doesn't want to talk about it, if he wants to be a general, he doesn't know how much fruitless work he has to spend on the art of commanding. And Morin, energetic, knowledgeable, optimistic and confident, has not undergone any training, he is close to the mental state of a fifth-level law apprentice, and he is the best qualified in the direction of mage that Lawson has ever seen, but he is inexplicably unable to use magic cards.

"The world is really getting more and more chaotic. Thinking of some rumors about the situation on the mainland, Lawson couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, he did not let the two teenagers see his thoughts, and glanced at the Baron's Mansion with a complicated expression, and Lawson waved his hand and signaled: "Let's go, go to the docks, the ship that will learn to take charge of the pick-up will arrive soon." ”

Just as the three of them were about to leave, the door of the baron's mansion creaked open.

"Daddy?" Morin exclaimed, "I was told to take the test!"

Thinking that the baron wanted to repent, Morin hurriedly shouted about the previous incident, and then remembered that Mr. Lylai Rosson was still on the side, and it was really rude for him to shout like this. He blamed himself in his heart, and his blue eyes looked at Lawson worriedly, but he was startled if he didn't want to.

Lawson did not notice Maureen's faux pas at all, he was now agitated, and looked at Baron Pike on the steps with admiration, only to see him hand the gray staff in his left hand, puff up his chest, and raise his right hand straight to his chest, with his five fingers and palms facing outward, this position froze for a moment, and then his right arm was bent back, and his right hand was placed on his left shoulder, and he bowed vigorously.

The Kadir boy Barron was confused, and stabbed Morin with his hand behind him, motioning for him to explain to himself, and seeing that Morin ignored him, he stabbed again, who wanted to have a pain in his finger, but he stabbed on the iron shield in Morin's package.

Morin didn't bother to pay attention to him at this time, Barron didn't know the meaning of Teacher Lawson's actions, but he knew it very well. That was the military salute of the Duchy of Lothar, could it be that Papa Pike was once the superior of Mr. Lawson. Morin's curious gaze kept searching between them, trying to find more clues, who wanted to hear more unbelievable information.

I only heard Lawson say excitedly: "Lawson Woodman, deputy of the third detachment of the Fourth Brigade", his originally calm voice became turbulent with excitement, "I have seen the Legion Commander." ”

Like a thunderclap, Morin was dumbfounded.

He looked at Daddy Pike on the steps in a daze: that fat, round-faced, round-chinned, dark blue eyes always can't hide that trace of cunning, amiable and even a little obscene, he used to be the captain of the legion?!

Growing up, perhaps because his grandfather's majesty was too heavy, even when he was kicked by his father, Morin never had a sense of awe for his father. But now, a hint of awe and more adoration arise. That's the Legionnaire, the Legionnaire!

Almost the supreme commander of a war!

Think about the eight hundred and forty-nine years from the beginning of the Fourth Age to the present, how can there be a war in which the number of people on one side has exceeded one legion? Morin quickly recalled the books he had read, and thought for sure, not a single one! Legion, that is the army establishment of a powerful country like the Gesok Empire, etc., Merlin suddenly realized that the Duchy of Lothar did not have a legion.

And where is Papa Pike's legion leader?

For a moment, the thoughts that crossed Merlin's mind were not even clear to him, and he only felt that the figure of Daddy Pike had suddenly become much taller and more mysterious. He has too many questions that he wants to shout out, but this is obviously not a good time, so he can only hold it in his stomach.

Hearing the word "Legion Commander", Barron finally understood, a trace of respect flashed in his eyes, he stepped forward, took the stone flat hammer from his back with his right hand and put it on his chest, leaned forward slightly, held it for a moment, and put the stone hammer back on his back, but he was practicing the etiquette of the Kadir people. The Kadir are natural warriors, and although they love to fight, they have a great respect for the strong. In his opinion, since he can become a general like the commander of the corps, it must be extremely strong.

The corners of Baron Pike's mouth twitched slightly, obviously not expecting Barron, a stunned young man, to follow like this. After thinking about it, he still decided to use an indifferent expression.

The baron didn't pay attention to Lawson or Barron, and didn't even look at it for a moment, he looked at Merlin with a straight face, and with a flick of his right hand, a silver object drew a strange arc, which landed on Morin's right middle finger, and was a simple silver ring.

"What is the use of such a good memory if you can forget such an important thing, and you will be punished when you come back!" said the baron, in a fierce voice.

"Yes. Maureen looked at the ring on his hand, realized his mistake, and replied obediently.

The ring is used to cover the ink-colored ring marks on Morin's middle finger, and his grandfather and father have told him many times to bring the ring to cover up the traces when he goes out, but he forgot because he was too excited, and he really deserved to be punished, and it is estimated that he will not be able to eat meat for a long time.

Seeing Morin's attitude, Baron Pike's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, after all, a teenager who was only twelve years old was understandably more forgetful occasionally. As for the inky traces, the letter did not mention them, except that the black breath might leave traces and cause some other effects, and the baron still remembered the ominous smell of the black scent, and agreed with Merlin's grandfather that the traces should be concealed.

"The test at Victor Academy involves a fight, be careful not to get hurt," Pike said to Morin again, "If you are beaten to the point where you can't get up, don't report the name of the Callander family, shame." ”

Then the baron's indifferent gaze swept over Lawson, as if he were looking at a stranger, shook his head, and turned into the house, slamming it shut.

There was no more sound in the mansion.

A hint of shame flashed across Lawson Woodman's face, and he felt a little sad in his heart, he didn't know the cause of the incident in the first place, but he knew that he had made a choice with a clear conscience, and like many others, he was ashamed of the Legion Commander and the Commander-in-Chief. Later, leaving the army and entering the Temple of Order was not an escape.

He glanced at Morin and found that the young man was staring at him curiously, his blue eyes were full of questions, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to block the conversation: "I don't know anything, if you have any questions, you can ask the baron yourself." At this point, he stopped calling Pike the Legion Commander and continued, "Okay, hurry up, it's time for the ship to arrive." ”

After saying that, Lawson turned around and walked towards the docks, and Morin hurriedly followed.

Only Barron, who was relatively slow to respond to these things, still said to himself: "In the future, I will also be a legion commander...... Not...... Legionnaire Commander ......"

Harry's docks are not large and the water is not deep, so it can only accommodate medium-sized vessels at best.

Originally, at this time, because the ships that went to sea had not yet returned, the dock area was generally relatively quiet and there were no people.

But today it was very different, and many people, including Uncle Will, who was familiar to Morin, gathered on the docks.

They were looking at the ship, a very large ship.

Even if it is moored hundreds of meters away, the huge hull of the ship makes people feel a sense of oppression.

The ship's building was small, but there were more than a dozen masts of various sizes erected on the deck, like trees.

Even Morin, who had been on the seashore since he was a child, had to admit that this was the largest ship he had ever seen, much larger than the big ships he had seen before.

Barron looked around and asked suspiciously, "How are you going to get up?" The big ship didn't lower the small boat to pick them up, and the docks in Harry Harbor didn't have any ships that could send them there.

"Stupid, of course by magic. Morin replied, looking at Mr. Lawson expectantly.

Barron said angrily, "What a great book you've read, let's have a fight!" (Let me beat you up!)"

Of course, Morin would not do this kind of self-deprecating and boring thing, he turned his head to look at Barron, his blue eyes stared at the Kadir boy for a while, and said seriously: "You know that I have no power to fight back, and you still want to fight with me, this is not the behavior of a warrior. ”

It was impossible for Barron to admit that he was not a warrior, and even though he was only in his early twelve, the sense of honor of the Kadir was already seared into his bones. So Barron was defeated, and kept his mouth shut silently, lest he accidentally say anything that would be detrimental to his honor.

While the two teenagers were gagging, Lawson had already pulled out a white magic card. Merlin looked hard and saw the pattern of the spell model on the front of the card: a few pure white feathers around a black cube floating in the air - a magic light feather spell that made objects almost float.

Compared to ancient spellcasting, using magic cards has unbeatable advantages: less magic and spiritual requirements, no chanting or silent incantations, no gestures, no casting materials. All the steps of the ancient spell casting were replaced by a small magic card. So for thousands of years, no mage likes ancient spells, which is why it is difficult to be admitted to the magic academy now if you can't use magic cards.

The card floated a foot on Lawson's chest, releasing a faint white glow, and Lawson hung his staff on his back, grabbing the shoulders of the two teenagers with his left and right hands.

At this moment, Barron seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "What I said is that we are here to fight, and I am not asked to beat you, so naturally I will have reservations, this is for your progress, how can it be said that it is not the behavior of a warrior?"

Listening to Barron's words, Morin smiled slightly, but did not answer. Because immediately after, Lawson stepped on both feet, and the three of them flew into the sky together.

Don't look at Luo Sen as just a junior advanced legal position, but under the subtle influence of magic power, his physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, which is why every bit of strength progress before cultivating magic power is quite valuable.

The people around who were looking at the big ship couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the three of them suddenly leap into the air, and some of them also recognized Morin, as well as Barron, who knew that they were going to take the test, and shouted to cheer for them.

The three of them rose more than ten meters every time, and then slowly fell like feathers, and at the same time advanced dozens of meters, and when they were about to fall into the sea, Lawson stepped lightly on his toes, and then a one-meter-long and wide pale yellow square pattern would appear at his feet, condensed into a pedal, and then dissipated, and Lawson also took advantage of his strength to float back into the air with the two teenagers. This kind of pattern is called dazzle, and it is a transient plane formed by the element's control by mental power and borrowing the magic of the body, and it is mostly used to borrow power, especially by those who lack the ability to fly.

The three of them rose and fell, slowly drifting towards the big boat hundreds of meters away. Both teenagers were screaming, but Merlin laughed excitedly and Barron howled nervously.

"Aha, Barron, you're afraid of heights!" only to hear the laughter of Morin in the distance.

"Ahhh......hhh Can you not be afraid of nothing under your feet...... If a barbarian can't step on the earth, what's the difference between him and a goblin?!" Barron's voice became a little sharper, and he didn't forget to find a proverb to excuse himself.

"Barron," it was Lawson's voice, "you're grabbing me too hard, relax, I won't let you fall into the sea......"

Because the speed of the fall is very slow, the speed of progress is not fast, hundreds of meters away, and the three of them floated for a while before reaching the vicinity.

From here, the huge ship deck looks like a square, with many low pergolas and various glowing tables and chairs. There were already many people on the deck, most of them teenagers, a few were teachers of the Juvenile Society or examiners of the academy, and of course some noble teenagers with their servants. They were distributed in groups of three or five, mostly chatting or gathering together to play some games, some were testing their strength, but there were quite a large number of them, noble young men dressed in beautiful costumes and accompanied by their retinue, and they were watching the three people who were slowly descending with good intentions.

Coincidentally, Lawson and the two teenagers fell to the side of the group.

Before his toes touched the ground, Morin heard a burst of laughter.

Then there was a childish and sharp mocking voice: "It turns out that you have been waiting for a long time to wait for these two country boys?"
