Chapter 115: The City of Wisdom
It is no longer clear how the City of Wisdom first emerged and how it was established. This group of neutrals watched everything from the sidelines. The only thing that can arouse their interest is the various waves. A night owl flew here from afar like a fairy under the moonlight. First a black dot, then gradually taking over the entire field of vision, completely blocking the moon behind it, and finally turning into a huge shadow and passing by.
After a few months, Bran's name reappeared in the city. The name first appeared here a few years ago. Sean, a scholar who had been silent in the Northland, suddenly moved. The forgotten man, reporting Bran's name, found someone who could inherit the mantle. About a year ago, Sean reported in a tone of uncertainty that Bran had discovered the secret of wizarding evolution. It wasn't until a few months ago that scholars from the Northland sent back news that goblins had appeared. The legendary creatures of the Northland actually exist.
It is no accident that scholars are everywhere, and they have their own organizational system. They use their knowledge to serve the localities, and at the same time, they continue to absorb new knowledge and talents from various localities.
When this situation arrived in the Northland, it began to become awkward. Generations of scholars entered there, and then began to fall silent. They had never really come into contact with the secrets of the Northlands, they could not even raise their own heirs from the Northlands, and how many years had passed, and the City of Wisdom had filled the Northlands like this.
But no one loses patience, and they don't get because they don't give enough. It's just that some of the circumstances are starting to change. The first group of young and excellent scholars entered the Northland with confidence, but fate made them grow old silently. When death came, a new replacement came over and took their place. Gradually, this place was regarded as an ominous place, and although the people who came were even better, their identity changed somewhat. Most of them were people who had committed some wrongs, and it became a place of exile, a place of atonement.
There are so many secrets in the Northlands, how did a seemingly barbaric race master the best smelting techniques?what is the source of their power?blah, blah, blah, there are so many things here that scholars are looking at.
From the very beginning of the Battle of the Perpetual River, before the Northlands first revealed their people, scholars noticed the strangeness of this race and sensed that there was something they were interested in. Knowledge is tempting, and the methods of acquiring it do need to be learned and documented. But what happens when you want to acquire knowledge that the other person refuses to pass on?
Perhaps from the black robes on the scholars, it can probably be guessed that this is not a group that considers itself noble. They are also predators, predators of knowledge.
Years of hard work are beginning to pay off, and years of not-so-noble behavior are finally rewarding. There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? Now the secrets of the northern land have opened a corner to them. The appearance of the goblins has made scholars begin to re-examine and collect the legends of the Northlands. Perhaps from these legends, they were able to discover more hidden truths and knowledge.
The Night Stalker brings the latest news from Lava City, from where a large delegation sets out to target the Northlands and Bran in the Northlands.
The most comprehensive and reliable information that scholars have. As Sean said, he was documenting everything he could. He took the trouble to keep track of everything in the castle, including Bran. This old scholar has recorded day after day, never neglected any person, any detail, and now this perseverance and hard work reflect the value. Bran's life from birth to beyond is fully presented in front of the eyes of scholars. Bran is the one who really mastered wizard evolution, and it's no secret to scholars.
They decided to keep Bran. If they could, the scholars would prefer Bran to be one of them. A team of twenty people set off from the City of Wisdom, a special group of scholars. Beneath the black robe are delicate chain mail and short swords, and long knives and shields are fastened to the sides of the saddle.
How can it be a group of defenseless people who can stand tall on this land, who can protect and seize knowledge from all sides in a neutral manner? How can a tall and intelligent city lack a foundation of flesh and blood? Now is the time for fresh flesh and blood to consolidate this great city.
......
Bran didn't have the mood or energy to care about the changes outside, so he was trapped in the Northlands, sitting under a tree. Now there is another annoying Zoya by his side, which is speeding up the consumption of his already small patience.
Now it's not the mountain villa it used to be, and he can do nothing. As his power grew, and as he continued to learn about magic, Bran developed more confusion and doubts. He needs to think with all his heart, to verify, he needs time. He should hide in the villa and continue to accumulate his strength. But in order to get rid of the shackles and truly enjoy freedom, these are the prices he has to pay. It's just that after paying the price, Bran finds himself even less free.
The construction of the city did not go very well, and it was only after the spread of the stalls that Bran realized that something was wrong. The stall was too large and there was a serious shortage of manpower, so he had to readjust. Northland is now in disarray, and it will continue to be that way for a long time. Several shelved construction sites, like giant scars, mock his incompetence.
In Zoya's eyes, Bran was still the little Northland who liked to hear her tell her heart. The only difference was that I sat in a rocking chair and now I sat under a tree. She couldn't understand Bran's troubles, and Bran wouldn't confide in a child.
After a few days of talking, Zoya finally began to care about Bran's affairs. I heard, "You've killed a lot of people this time?"
"Who did you say? What do you mean by 'killing a lot of people again?'" Bran was a little dissatisfied.
"Everybody is talking. ”
"Don't listen to their nonsense! Last time, I didn't kill people. This time, the Anya were killed by dragoons and the royal family. I didn't kill anyone. ”
Bran didn't want to talk to the little girl about these bloody things, not to deceive, but to think it was inappropriate to talk to the child. Although in this world, blood and violence have long been integrated into daily life. Children have been accustomed to it since childhood, but at the moment he is reluctant to talk about it with a child, especially a little girl.
"I know what you've been doing with the white wolves these days. ”
Bran was stunned, "Who told you that?"
"More than one of my knights and servants saw it. I heard them talking in private. ”
"Oh, don't you feel scared or sick?"
"No! we're going to put criminals to death. But I've never seen a wolf eat a man, so take me with you next time. Zoya seemed eager to take the plunge.
Bran let out a long sigh, "Okay. ”
Amid Zoya's cheers, Bran fell silent. He needed to adjust his mentality now, and the little girl cheered for the coming, flesh-and-blood picture, which was a little too beautiful......
Zoya didn't let him go, and continued, "Teach me to kill, okay?"
Bran pouted his teeth, looked up and down carefully, and then reached out and touched her head: "As long as you want to learn." ”
You don't need Bran to kill people, the little girl already has good skills, and those are used to save her life and kill people. Maybe it was just an act of the little girl to show her closeness, maybe it was the little girl's curiosity about the feeling of the sword and her body, and Bran couldn't see any bloodthirsty or vicious in the girl's bright eyes.
......
This is what Il hears and sees when he comes in. Her mentality adjusted quickly, and now she was no longer afraid. Through her observations, she found that the people of the Northland were very easy to get along with, and they were never harsh on the people around them. As long as you don't become their enemy, just work for them seriously.
In just a few days, the residents of Northland City got rid of their initial fears, and began to have idlers come over to watch the excitement, and even made an appointment to go to see wolves and people together next time. The initial fear was gradually replaced by another emotion - the host, and while the onlookers watched, the applause gradually rang out.
If you think about it, life here hasn't changed much. Except for the city that has become a little messy, it's not much different from before. And it is believed that this mess will soon disappear as the city progresses, provided that there are enough people.
Yes, Il! Il is there to report the manpower problem to Bran. There are a few guys with good skills and big courage, who went into the mountains without permission and caught a few mountain people back. Bran started and now someone is starting to follow suit.
Bran, who feels powerless, thinks that this is good, so let's continue......
