Chapter 4: To the Imperial Capital

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was just dawning, and many people had already gathered outside the North Wind City. Today, the two selected reserve magicians, as well as the young master of the Green family, were going to follow the convoy to the Imperial Capital Holy Light City.

The team escorting the three children to the imperial capital was by no means simple, it turned out to be an army of knights composed of more than twenty people. You must know that in the Garneman Empire, any true knight has the right to talk to the nobles on an equal footing.

Ao Feng settled the relationship in advance, and the captain of the escort team, Ren, is now also a knight of the Lion Knights. He has always admired the former Holy Knight Aofeng Green, so he also agreed to take Dylan to the imperial capital.

"Once you're in the Imperial Capital, you're going to find a dwarf named Rick Spirit, who is an expert forger and has a great reputation in the Imperial Capital, so it's not difficult to find him. Ao Feng said as he helped Dylan get dressed.

When Ao Feng said goodbye, he also began to be a little reluctant, for fear that his son, who had been weak since he was a child, would be bullied all the time in the imperial capital.

The Knight of Wren on the side gave an extremely standard imperial military salute to Ao Feng and said, "Dear Commander Ao Feng, please rest assured, I will definitely deliver him safely to the imperial capital." If your son is bullied in the City of Light, I will help. ”

Ao Feng nodded gratefully.

Dylan was also full of reluctance at this time, after all, he went to the imperial capital this time, and he didn't know when he would come back next time. The road is really long, if you don't be able to mix in the imperial capital, you won't have the face to come back to see your father.

In the midst of a farewell sound, the City of the North Wind sent off the escort army sent by the imperial capital.

Seeing the team getting farther and farther, Ao Feng retracted his gaze, turned to the butler next to him, and said, "Let's go, go back and write a few letters to a few old friends who haven't seen you for many years." ”

Max said with a smile: "It seems that the head of the regiment is still not worried about the young master." ”

Ao Feng scolded with a smile: "You know my mind best." Also, the title of your regimental commander needs to be changed, after all, this is no longer a knighthood, and it will still be called a knighthood in the future. ”

Max touched his bald head and said, "There's no way, I'm used to shouting in the Knights, I really can't change it." Besides, this North Wind City is not the imperial capital with many rules, and no one will take care of these outdated etiquette. ”

A master and a servant laughed and returned to the City of the North Wind.

Dylan, who was sitting in the carriage in the distance, looked at the scene around him that was gradually beginning to become barren, and felt a trace of inexplicable desolation in his heart.

Rosen, who was sitting opposite, was looking at him coldly at this time, and said with a slight sneer: "What, are you afraid? I'm afraid that I won't protect you when I go to the emperor, and I will be bullied?"

Dylan didn't respond to his senseless taunt, still staring blankly at the scenery on both sides of the road.

Lawson said coldly: "It's too late to regret it now, I advise you to jump out of the car and run back to your comfortable nest." Don't regret it when you arrive in the imperial capital, it's too late!"

Wren, who was escorting the convoy on the side, said sharply: "You give me some peace! If you dare to cause trouble along the way, then I don't mind throwing you on the road!"

Rosen saw Wren's strong killing aura and knew that he wasn't joking, so he immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to say another word.

You know, a few kilometers further on, it is really a barren mountain, where there are many hills and mountains, and many wild beasts live in them. After all, he was not a true magician yet, and it was impossible for him to fight the beasts.

Dylan subconsciously touched his chest and found that the mysterious book he accidentally discovered yesterday was still there. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this was a relic left by his mother, and it was extremely important to him. Dylan was afraid that his father would see things and think about people, so he didn't take out this book.

And such a mutilated book doesn't matter when you think about it. It's just that why the mother hid it, it's not known.

Of course, he also carried a few books on casting techniques with him, which he prepared to pass the free time during the long journey.

The other apprentice magician in the car was a little boy who didn't like to talk much. During the last magic measurement, he had an induction with the Earth Magic Stone, and was expected to become an Earth Magician.

At this time, he was intently looking at the book in his hand, which seemed to be a classic book about various medicinal materials.

The boy didn't seem to care at all about the two peers next to him who didn't look at each other.

Dylan was a little curious about the curly-haired brown-haired boy, as he had lived in the City of the North Wind for more than ten years and never seemed to have seen him. It wasn't until three days ago that Dylan saw him for the first time while testing his magic in the square.

Seeing that the road was long and boring, Dylan asked the brown-haired boy, "What is your name?" ”

The boy didn't look up, just lowered his head and continued to read: "Stephen Winchester." ”

"How come I've never seen you?" Dylan was curious.

The boy paused, as if thinking of something, and then closed the book: "I have always lived alone in the slums of North Wind City, how could you, as the young master of the Green family, go to such a dirty place. ”

It can be heard from the tone that this guy doesn't seem to be very interested in all the nobles.

"The Winchester family, I used to follow my father to sort out the household registration of the North Wind City, but I have never heard of any Winchester family. Dylan is still unrelenting.

The teenager, who called himself Stephen, said: "I was an orphan since I was a child, and when I was a child, I relied on the neighbors around me for help. I've been living on my own since I was eight years old. ”

Before Dylan could speak, Rosen on the side said in a weird manner: "What a bragging! Eight-year-old to support yourself? Who do you think you are?"

Although he didn't say anything, Dylan did not believe it in his heart. You know, what skills can an eight-year-old child rely on to earn money to support himself?

Stephen's tone was cold: "Since I was eight years old, I would go to the barren mountains outside the city to find herbs and fruits, and then sell them to the merchants in the city. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it gets! Can you distinguish all kinds of herbs at the age of eight? Do you think you're a genius like me?" Rosen said, glancing at Dylan, who was sitting across from him, with a defiant look on his face.

Stephen didn't rush to defend himself, but picked a flower similar to a sunflower from the side of the road, handed it to Rosen and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Rosen looked disdainful: "Isn't it the sunflower, even a five-year-old child knows that you have something to show off." ”

Stephen shook his head and said, "This is called the Snake Flower, also known as the Devil's Gift, poisonous!"

As soon as he heard that this flower was poisonous, Lawson was immediately frightened and his face changed, and he hurriedly threw the flower in his hand.

Rosen glared at Stephen viciously: "Bastard, are you trying to kill me?

Wren sneered: "You haven't really started learning magic yet, and you're already so arrogant?"

Rosen was very afraid of this majestic knight, and when he heard this, he did not dare to refute it at all.

Wren glanced at Stephen with appreciation, and it was clear that as a knight who was going to battle, he naturally knew something about all kinds of plants in the wild. The kind of flower just now is indeed a snake flower that is often used in the army.

Although this kind of word is poisonous, after being refined and detoxified by alchemists, it can be made into a paralyzing medicine, which is very effective in relieving pain.

Unexpectedly, at a young age, Stephen already knew how to distinguish medicinal herbs.
