Chapter 436: First Arrival in Wennai
A few days later, Dupont's student and assistant arrived at the Alpine Fort.
They were all mature mages in their prime, and they were able to do their work at a rapid pace. Descending to the bottom of the stairwell with Dupont, it didn't take long for him to declare his success.
Richard witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, and watched the red-hot magma surging up the stairwell with a wave of heat, and it was really inevitable that he would have the illusion of going straight to the abyss.
Since the successful channeling of the lava, the people who originally lived in the castle have moved to a clean house in a matter of days. Because it was a summer day right now, and the castle was like a stove, and the inside was like a steamer and hotter than the outside.
Master Dupon also cautioned that it was best to find a way to suppress the magma as soon as possible.
Because according to the most cutting-edge magical theories at present, the seemingly solid and unshakable ground under your feet is actually in motion all the time. Over time, the magma, which is still stable for now, may produce new changes.
Naturally, the lord agreed. When the time comes, he will place goblin steam balls in ladder wells to obtain an endless supply of energy.
"That's right, Richard. Dupon seemed a little hesitant, but finally made up his mind and said, "Sinclair told me that she wants to learn the way of the ancestral spirits of the orcs, what do you think?" ”
"The Way of the Ancestral Spirit?" Richard raised an eyebrow, "I don't know much about orcs, can you tell me more about it?"
"The orcs have a primitive religion of worshipping ancestral spirits, and the way of ancestral spirits is to gradually obtain the power of ancestral spirits step by step by constantly strengthening their belief in ancestral spirits. ”
In the end, Du Peng still couldn't resist the occupational disease, and added his own understanding: "But in my opinion, there is no ancestral spirit at all, it is just to train yourself with the purest spiritual strength." ”
"Sounds like Holy Light Magic. ”
"You're a bold boy. Du Pon laughed and scolded. When Richard said this, he clearly meant that the Holy Light God also did not exist.
However, he looked left and right to see that there was no one, and nodded imperceptibly.
Magicians are atheists, let alone those who can be promoted to the highest ranks.
"I have a bit of research on the way of the ancestral spirits, and it is not a problem to teach Sinclair to get started. "But this road requires extraordinary perseverance and patience with unimaginable pain." Even in the Orc Kingdom, generally only men cultivate, and I'm a little worried that kid won't be able to stand it. ”
"Let it be. "The lord has been a little depressed since he coaxed Anne, which is a rare smile," In terms of perseverance, Sinclair is definitely the best among his peers, no worse than men. ”
"Okay. ”
............
It's his own business, and it's time for Richard to get ready to leave.
On this trip to defeat the forest elves, he only brought a core team. Including Gunther, Hurt, Carlos, and a twelve-member Wyvern team led by Higuain, it can be said to be extremely streamlined.
Because the Alpine Fort is located in the northeasternmost corner of the entire Pompeii Kingdom, and the Hengduan Forest is located in the far southwest, there is a long distance that cannot be accommodated by a map, let alone mountains and rivers.
If you travel a long distance with a large army, it hurts to just eat, drink, and think about Lazar along the way.
Moreover, the world is not peaceful now, and Gaoshan Fort needs enough people left behind to ensure its own safety.
Anne also insisted on going along, but Richard flatly refused on the grounds that she was too weak. So the half-elf compromised slightly, but stuffed in an Elizabeth as a concession condition, and the lord had to accept it.
"Why am I going, I'm weak now. Yeyu sat on the dragon's back and chattered and complained, the cold air currents from flying high in the air were uncomfortable for her.
"Because you are the chief magic advisor of Alpine Castle, since you get a salary, you have to do personnel, otherwise why should you use gold coins to make a bed. Richard said without looking up at the map.
According to the plan, they were to fly to the royal capital of San Jose, Vinnay, and then transfer to the border city of Søren. Merge your army there, ready to strike a thunderous blow at the Elven Kingdom.
Actually, it was possible to fly straight to Søren, but the lord received a communication magic stone from the San Jose court, saying that His Majesty Neo wanted to meet him.
Richard didn't know why, but he happened to be curious about Neo, so he readily agreed.
Long-haul flights can be torture, both for beasts and passengers. After a full six days of travel, they finally saw Wennay emerge from the horizon, a silhouette that was at least half the size of Furiz!
"The most prosperous San Jose. ”
More than a dozen flying beasts, guided by a griffin knight, landed on a wide, flat turf in the city.
"You actually set up a field in the city for flying mounts to land?" Richard couldn't understand the horizontal and vertical white lines on the field, but he felt that it should be a landmark to guide the landing.
He tasted the product and thought that this small detail was a bit interesting - it at least showed that the flying mounts in Wennai City landed quite frequently, otherwise they would not have made a landing field.
"Yes, my lord," said the griffin knight, who was generally polite, but could not help but sneak a glance at Elizabeth, and thought he was very hidden.
Richard had already found out, but he felt that it would be too difficult for such a young man to resist Elizabeth's beauty.
"Oh my god, this city is so big!" Gunther grinned with shock, sending a reserved and smug smile to the griffon knight's face.
But the smile quickly disappeared, because the next sentence was: "If you can bring your brothers in and grab a ticket... Hmm..."
Hurt silently covered Gunther's mouth.
"I really wanted to come and grab a ticket back then, but unfortunately the city defense was really sharp and didn't succeed. Yeyu descended the rope ladder from the dragon's back.
The griffin knight was so angry that he wanted to say a few sarcastic words, until he saw the pair of delicate dragon horns on Yeyu's forehead, and suddenly his throat tightened and he couldn't say half a word.
This is...... The legendary primeval dragon?
Looking at the halo on the back of the visitor's head, I originally thought it was just decoration, but now it seems that it is not like that at all.
"Shut up, didn't Lao Tzu tell you to pay attention to etiquette when you go out?" Richard didn't think much about it, and raised his hand to give Yeyu three violent tremors, knocking her tears almost falling on the spot.
Clenched his small fists and looked at the lord of Alpine Fort hatefully, his white teeth were gritted and gurgling, but he was completely helpless, and he had a very humiliated expression on his face.
"Please show us the way. The corners of Richard's mouth curled slightly, revealing what he thought was the most approachable smile.
"Uh...... Good ......" the griffin knight turned stiffly and slowly, his legs trembling.
