Chapter 392: Jinggang
Paul followed the crowd away from the necromantic knights. For these deceased, the hearts of the people are full of fear. It is precisely this kind of fear that ensures order in the neighborhood.
On the beach, a large flag stands alone. The humid sea breeze did not make it flutter, but fell quietly with a heavy feeling after eating the moisture.
Because the flag is down, it is natural that you can't see all the patterns and words on it. But everyone here already knows that the flag bears a terrifying name - Bran the Wizard.
Rachel, who is well-informed, has a strange face when she sees that big flag. As an outsider, he was the first to warn Paul to be careful.
According to Rachel's words, there is nothing new under the sun. He had been in a similar situation while traveling outside, and he should not act rashly until he figured out what the flag meant.
Rachel was right, and the meaning of the flag quickly became clear.
Not far from the flag, a rudimentary wooden board reads - Northland Port. Looking at the empty beach, without even a slightly larger stone, Paul also had to admire the shamelessness of Northland.
Although the fleet was piloted by scholars, the final landing locations were far apart. Just such a broken plank brings the area as far as the eye can see.
Occasionally, a necromantic knight would run across the sea, and I don't know which fleet to trouble again. Unlike the Windhaven Riders, the fleets are extremely cooperative.
Along the way, Rachel and Paul have become friends who talk about everything. As if sensing Paul's thoughts, he asked, "Do you think we're being too cautious?"
"Hmm. ”
Rachel shook her head and smiled, "Along the way, I've noticed that you lack awe. The great wizards here have risen too fast, and there are many things that have not yet taken root in the hearts of the people. If you have the chance, you can go outside and see and you will understand. Their power is everywhere and has penetrated into all corners of the world.
Where power goes, they do what they say. We're used to it all, and we can't afford to resist it.
It's really fun!
You are afraid of us, but you are not very afraid of the mightier wizards. And after we learned the meaning of the Great Wizard, we did not dare to disobey, at least on the surface. ”
Rachel patted Paul on the shoulder and teased, "Courage." ”
Paul laughed, "Ignorant and fearless, I know what you're trying to say." Although I admired him from the bottom of my heart, it was difficult for me to feel afraid.
You know? His initiation teacher is also one of us, even the loser among us - Sean. ”
Seeing Rachel and the other feathered people pricking up their ears in unison, Paul continued: "At that time, the Northlands were still a savage land in our eyes, a perfect place for exile.
As an initiation teacher, he should have been proud to have such students. But guess what he did?"
Rachel poked Paul, "Tell me!"
"He was involved in a plot to kill his own students. ”
Rachel let out a sneer, "Dream! How can a mortal be a god's opponent." ”
"Yes, a dream, but it was also a good dream, and it was shattered by his students. ”
Rachel was a little anxious, "And then, say it!"
"Nothing, then, Grand Wizard Bran didn't take it seriously at all. He only slept in the plot for a few days, and his teacher, Sean, recorded it all in detail.
The night came with his restful sleep, and the sun rose with his awakening. ”
Looking at the distrustful glances of the crowd, Paul affirmed, "Lava City, the capital of the Kingdom of Anya. Tens of thousands of people have gone through it all.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire capital city was plunged into darkness in advance. ”
Rachel was incredulous, "This can't be! Are you a fool who hasn't seen the world?"
Paul exhaled, "Those who have been through all this are still alive, and if you have the chance, you can go and see and inquire." ”
Someone patted Rachel on the shoulder and interjected, "I believe it, and you don't need to deceive us about this kind of thing." By the way, if we want to meet the lord of Northland, do you have any good suggestions?"
"I heard that people from Northland City are rushing here to build a port, and we scholars will definitely be involved in this kind of work. If I can wait a few more days, I'll ask them about it. ”
Along the way, Paul has confirmed that the feather people are there to spread kindness. And listen to them, this kind of exchange will continue for a long time in the future.
This made Paul breathe a sigh of relief, and he no longer worried about being caught in the middle and being difficult to be a human being.
It's a pity that others don't have that kind of good luck.
It's not that they are spineless, but they are helpless. The small family in the windy harbor is actually a hostage, although it is not clear, but everyone knows it very well in their hearts.
As long as they live there, as long as they do not have the strength to negotiate conditions, then they must submit to reality.
A few days ago, the black dragon was furious and slaughtered here. Paul didn't know the details, but he had heard about some things. The outsiders who arrived here first couldn't sit still.
There were too many people here to tempt it, so they looked elsewhere.
It's just that they are staring at the wrong place, and none of the people who went out have come back.
These people died and died, and Paul only snickered. But these people forced the scholar they navigated to lead the way, even if the scholar repeatedly said he was not familiar with the place.
Under the entanglement of countless dead souls, the black dragon roared. Even the powerful feather people around him couldn't help but exclaim.
This was the first time Paul had seen a dragon, a black dragon surrounded by nightmares. Its body looks small against the sky, but when it whistles overhead, it gives the impression of obscuring the sky.
As the black dragon swept overhead, Paul fainted. Before the coma, something seemed to pass through the body......
When she woke up again, Rachel was crouching beside her, looking at him worriedly. This made Paul feel a little warm, and the long sea journey had already condensed a true friendship between the two.
