Chapter 30 Report I
The cancellation of paid leave is a difficult thing for anyone to accept, but Monia did not let it happen - as one of the witnesses of the invasion incident, she knows very well that the current Elven Forest seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent, and if it is not handled carefully, I am afraid that the elves who have just hoped for revival will suffer another heavy blow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After all, they are two archmage-level powerhouses, even in the late Chaos Era, such combat power is not trivial.
Monia loves the Elven Forest and its people, so she's willing to do everything in her power to maintain the quiet and peaceful atmosphere here—it doesn't make entirely sense to transfer her and Esvetta to the Eucasil Guard, but at this delicate time, it can't help but make her think too much—and it's likely that the Elven Archmage did it premeditated.
But going deeper, she couldn't say anything clearly, after all, that's all she could get into, and she didn't know much about the character of the elven archmage, and it was her limit to be able to faintly detect something wrong.
However, even she can detect the layout that is wrong, will the cunning intruder still take the bait? She was deeply skeptical, but not because of this to question the elven archmage who sat in the mage tower - maybe the other party was not a person who was good at strategic layout, but her life experience was definitely much richer than hers, and the decisions she made were more practical than the conclusions she had obtained by relying on fantasy and brain supplementation.
After sorting out the thoughts in her head, Monia didn't continue to think about it - she was originally a simple person, otherwise she would not have been able to use the simple and rough style of the Holy Sorcerer to the extreme in her previous life - anyway, it was something that she would have to face sooner or later, and she would talk about it when she reported for duty, and now she was entangled in these meaningless and just gratuitous thoughts.
Shaking her head, she put these troubles aside for the time being, dragged her tired body for a good bath, and then lazily lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning, and Fana and Lil were pressed against her one by one, still asleep.
Looking at their quiet sleeping faces, she couldn't bear to disturb them - as a person who had come over, she knew very well the hardships that mage apprentices had to endure - in fact, in any profession, apprentices were always the hardest stage - they not only had to lay a solid foundation every day, but also had to learn a lot of new knowledge and theories, and occasionally had to help the instructor deal with some miscellaneous things, and the day was full, and even when they met the stricter instructors, even the most basic sleep time could not be guaranteed.
He got up very carefully, freshened up, and compared the time of the sundial, he woke them up when it was almost time, and led them in the direction of the Mage Association. This did not prevent her from reporting to the Eucasil Guard, according to the information indicated in yesterday's letter, the address of the report was not in the Elven Forest, or even in the realm of the continent of Aarons, but in a half-plane that had been carved out.
There is a special passage to the half-plane, and even if the archmage who has stepped into the legendary realm, it is not easy to use space-based spells in the half-plane where the spatial rules are subtly different from the Aarensian world - in other words, if the seeds of the World Tree are planted in the half-plane, it can not only accelerate the expansion of the half-plane, obtain a lot of data on space observations, but also act as the first barrier to protect the World Tree, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Although the letter did not specify the location of the passage, it was not difficult to guess - since it was required to meet in front of the Mage Guild before the Nine Dawn Day, it must be one of the few places in the Guild that were heavily guarded - and it was even possible that it was inside the Mage Tower, after all, from a security point of view, it was undoubtedly the most foolproof for the archmage to be in charge.
"Don't worry too much about the so-called progress, the most important thing is to have a solid foundation...... Well, goodbye. ”
After saying goodbye to the elven twins, Monia went to the halls of the Mage Guild, and after showing her mage badge as a symbol of her identity, she was led by a red-robed mage to a room isolated by several barriers—she wasn't the first to arrive, in fact, there were already three elves gathered at this moment, discussing something.
She did not join in their discussions, on the one hand, and on the other hand, she really did not have a good opinion on their subject - they were all followers of Yggdrasil, and they were very strong in their faith in God the Father, and the topics they discussed were nothing more than the divine greatness of Yggdrasil. Sometimes, however, the opposite is not so easily accepted - in the eyes of her parents, this one does not seem so great, and his image should be closer to that of a frustrated and melancholy young man? Maybe also love art.
Denying the image of the gods in front of the believers is undoubtedly the worst thing, Monia is not a war madman, and she does not get any sense of accomplishment or satisfaction from the verbal war. So she stayed away from the talking circles of these elves, who might become colleagues in the future, and sat quietly on the side, waiting for Esvetta's arrival and the opening of the door to the half-plane.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the hourglass in the room was almost at the bottom, she hadn't seen Esvetta's figure - even if she didn't think that the elven girl had the courage to skip the report of the Yuktrasil guards directly, but with the girl's natural personality, she couldn't understand the specific time.
It's Esveta, after all.
Just as she was hesitating to negotiate with the steward here whether to let her leave for a while and inform her friends, the elf girl stepped on the tail of the hourglass and panted open the door, and only walked a few steps, exhausted her strength, unable to grasp the balance of her body, and fell to the ground.
Well, another flat fall.
Monia held her forehead, then got up a little helplessly, walked up to her with an expression I didn't know her, and helped her up.
"Hmm...... Monia ...... ...... pain" Esvetta rubbed her forehead, then looked up, her eyes rubbing with tears - she fell so fast as she had come in that she didn't get up, but it was sure to hurt for a while. However, the mage was not going to comfort her, she was not a child who needed to be comforted, and today's incident should be a lesson to remind her to pay more attention when walking in the future.
"Don't make a fuss." Ignoring the elven girl's almost instinctive cuteness, Monia's eyes focused on the female elf who came in after her—a fairly mature elf, dressed in smart inlaid leather armor, her long golden hair tied into a single ponytail that dragged between her thighs, and a few subtle scars on her beautiful face not only did not damage her beauty, but added a wild charm to her. She walked smoothly and gracefully, obviously without making any announcements, but as soon as she walked into this room, she naturally became the center of everyone's attention.
"Really...... Not to be underestimated. ”
Monia sighed, she is not very clear about the world of the warriors, but looking at the terrifying aura of the other party, it is only possible to have it after being polished by wind and frost, how to say that the upper fighters are indispensable, and it is even very likely that she is also a first-class person among the upper professionals.
"I'm Nya, the captain of the Eugtrasil Guard," she said, though it was just a very ordinary word, but it was unconsciously convincing through her mouth, "and you will be your commander for a long time to come, and the reason why I am here today is actually just to find out what the quality of your deployment is and to educate you about the responsibilities and obligations of the Utdrasil Guard." ”
"First of all, please introduce yourselves in turn." She didn't give the others the slightest room to interject, and specified the order, "Let's start with you, don't look around, it's you, stand up." ”
"Me?" Under the envious gaze of several others, Esvetta was unfortunate enough to be the first to introduce herself, but she was completely stunned by this sudden questioning without any preparation, and she did not say a coherent sentence for a long time.
"This is the person recommended by the Mage Guild? It's disappointing. Nia said, however, Monia didn't feel much disappointment in her voice, as if she was completely trying to make things difficult for Esvetta for the Mage Guild, "Little girl, you still need to exercise well, at least get rid of your stage fright first, otherwise you will not be able to maintain even the most basic spell casting when you go to war and the warrior who protects you dies in front of you." ”
Although I don't like her cynicism very much, the mage has to admit that she does get to the point - Esvetta is indeed the most typical mage of the school, and it doesn't matter if she is allowed to be an academic, but it is difficult to say whether she can play a role on the battlefield, and it may even have a role that does not play a role but drags others down. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's an era of peace, but even if you don't need a foresight of rebirth, the foresight of this era smells a strong smell of gunpowder.
War is almost inevitable, that's their consensus. However, even the most pessimistic could not have foreseen what kind of magnificent era awaited them—the first truly mortal age since the creation of the world—the high gods were in full swing in the unknown void, and they were powerless to care for their earthly kingdoms—without the intervention of the Supreme One, the conflicts and contradictions that had accumulated for thousands of years erupted in just a few hundred years, and the flames of war burned in every corner of the continent, and no one could stay away.
It seems that I will have to talk to Esvetta in the future.
Monia thought—she didn't want to see her friend go astray—and while the School Mage might not be misguided, it was a sad thing to be in such an age without self-preservation.
"Next," Niya said, her eyes drifting to the mage who was thinking about how to persuade the elven girl, "a child?" What the hell is the Mage Guild going on, we're not a nursery here. ”
Seems to be at odds with the Mage Guild?
"I'm Monia," although the first sense of the female elf is good, under the influence of her inherent prejudices, there is not much goodwill left, and it is more limited to the antagonism of identity positions, "is a mage. ”
After a slight pause, she concluded, "Above, and all." ”
