After leaving the boundary monument, the group said goodbye to the carriage that transported them. Before leaving, the wooden villain - Lin Peng's temporary name for him, meaning that the wooden villain will be his partner in the future, jumped on the head of the horse responsible for transporting them, and seemed to be very reluctant to touch it, and the pony also responded meekly, which may be the last thing that the halberd can touch for a long time in the future.

But disappointingly, the journey that was supposed to be thrilling was very boring but safe under the leadership of the mysterious insect master.

The group first walked to another town outside the school, which is the center of the nearby villages and towns, and is responsible for the transfer of goods and the flow of people. Li first beat away a few hooligans who looked ill-intentioned at the entrance of the village, even though they might just stand at the entrance of the village in a daze, accidentally glanced at them; then in the center of the town at the spaceship transfer place ran away two groups of people who wanted to sell the map of Zhongzhou and special products, one of them looked forty or fifty years old, a mouthful of yellow teeth, the top of the head was shiny, but there was the ability to talk about black into white, but unfortunately met the old colleague Xiao Million, a map from one hundred and five fast to five yuan, and was thrown out by Li who bought a ticket when the deal was made; the other group is a pair of childish twin sisters, wearing the flower cloth clothes of a local rural girl, clean and slightly shabby, with a delicate face and sincere eyes, said that his family was in trouble, first there was a fire, and then he met a robber, and he had to come out to make a living, Xiao Million listened very seriously, and directly took out the last five yuan and handed it over, saying that this was all his belongings, hoping to help them get through the sadness.

This time, Li didn't intervene, the two girls looked at the five yuan and were stunned for a while, snorted coldly, and left without looking back.

From that day on, Xiao Million officially got the nickname of Xiao Wuyuan.

The School of War is located in the southern part of the entire continent, from which there is a vast ocean further south, and it is also one of the important ports on the southern coastline of the entire continent. And their trip is to go north, to the central region of the entire continent - Zhongzhou. The continent is vast, and it can be seen that this trip is far away, so everyone takes a common air vehicle: airships.

The shape of the airship is very simple, that is, a huge inflatable balloon on the top, and a cabin that can accommodate about 100 people below. It is said that a continent with such advanced magic should have more advanced means of transportation, but for some reason, the altitude of long-distance flights, the magic elements in the air are very thin, so only some simple and efficient physical methods can be chosen to achieve the purpose of transportation.

Due to the delay of several people for some time and missed the outlet to Zhongzhou, there were not many passengers at this time, and the huge cabin was divided into cockpit, restaurant and cabin. The entire cabin was about half full, and judging from the way they dressed, there were not many magicians, more of them were passing business travelers and ordinary passengers.

Generally speaking, magicians are very rich, whether it is magic props, magic books, resources needed for cultivation, and even tuition fees are a lot of money, according to Lin Peng, the admission fee of the School of War Law is already sky-high, but Luna is crossed, Xiao Million was appointed by the church, and Lu Ming was kidnapped over, so the three of them have no concept of money, so that on the first day of school, Lu Ming received a large amount of transfer, and thought it was a scholarship with excellent grades.

So there is the following wonderful dialogue:

"Why do we go to Zhongzhou, why do we take such a dilapidated airship, isn't there a special direct charter service?"

"It's safe, it's a big space, it's easy to see and move around. ”

"Isn't that because you're poor? Didn't you say that your employer paid you a high price?"

"Yes, but he hasn't given me a penny until now, and the more money I spend now, the less money I make in the end. ”

"So what's the way you can make a lot of money fast?"

"Yes, tell your identity, and then open a mission to assassinate you yourself, so that many people will take this mission, and I will kill them again, raise your value, and arouse the interest of more people. Then remove my mission, choose the boss with the highest bid, and complete the mission he entrusted to assassinate you, and you can make a fortune. ”

"But...... If that's the case, do you have to kill us?"

"Not necessarily, you can also try to escape, if you succeed, you may be worth more, and someone will even hire you to deal with other assassins, so that you make money, and then you can hire me to protect you, and I can go to deal with the targets you want to kill, and then we will pay fifty-five cents, so that you don't have to lose anything, and I make money. ”

“......”

This classic dialogue between Lu Ming and Li was written into the biographical novel "A Blockbuster" by the famous legendary archmage Lu Ming in later generations, and was printed on the title page, which was widely circulated. It is worth mentioning that with the publication of this book, mages, insect masters, and mercenaries are all extremely popular professions.

Lunch and dinner were settled on the airship, and although the ship called "Ouranos" looked dilapidated and cheap, the overall facilities were basically perfect, lunch was chicken rice, and dinner was fish noodles. Lu Ming glanced at the ticket price in his hand, and basically didn't have any hope for this meal, but when he saw Xiao Million gobbling it up, after all, he was a poor man with only five yuan left, and a glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart. The result really did not disappoint him, although it was not unpalatable, but it was indeed very cheap, the taste was weak and there was a strange taste, far inferior to the exquisite package of the Academy of War Arts, only half of it was eaten and put it back silently, Lin Peng just glanced at the packaging box and put it back, just drank two sips of water, and even poured a little water on the wooden villain who was dancing, I don't know if it was the illusion of thin air in the sky, it seemed that the wooden villain seemed to have grown up a little.

What surprised him even more was Luna, who was expressionless and eating seriously, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her. Since coming out of the principal's office, Luna has been obviously silent, while Xiao Million has been a little more cheerful, Lu Ming has been secretly suspecting in his heart that these two people may have something to hide from everyone. That feeling doesn't seem like the first time I met in the forest, but an old friend who has been familiar for a long time, and I met again for a while, and the years are gone, and there are only countless emotions left.

Time flies very fast, the speed of the airship is actually very fast, from noon to evening, at dusk they have already vaguely seen the prosperity of Zhongzhou from the surrounding cities and villages.

"Time on long-distance transportation is wonderful, when you feel that a long time has passed, time actually passes very slowly, but when you feel that there is still enough time, it is already close to the point, the journey, like life. There was silence along the way, and the insect master who had not entered the water and rice suddenly came out with such an incomprehensible sentence, which caused everyone to turn around.

In the cabin under the sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the entire seat, the orange-red halo put a layer of vague filters on people, and the cool wind blew in, blowing a little bit of the insect master's robe, coupled with his profound words, it gave people the meaning that this person was a master and life mentor.

If it weren't for Luna, who was sitting directly across from him, sneezing hard, the atmosphere would have been better.

At dusk, the group of twists and turns finally set foot on the boundary of Zhongzhou. The airship began to lower in altitude, looking at the chessboard-like city and ant-like pedestrians in the sky, and now began to magnify in the eyes of everyone, passing through the clouds of the setting sun, slowly unveiling their mystery.

"Zhongzhou is not the name of a city, but a collective name for a region. Due to its geographical location, it has been a thriving place since ancient times, starting with several cities competing with each other for chassis and resources, and then gradually developing into and radiating to the surrounding areas, forming countless small-scale villages and settlements. After entering the era of the Tower of Babel, various cities gradually merged to form the middle state of Koma Road. The top mages gathered a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and gathered all kinds of magic materials to build the famous god building - the Tower of Babel, with the intention of reaching the heavens, comprehending the ultimate magic, and finding the root of magic and the answer to the origin and end of the universe. ”

Insect Master, or someone who is more like Teacher Li, pointed to the huge urban agglomeration in the distance and a circular area at the very edge of the horizon, and lightly explained the origin of this area, so skillfully that Lu Ming wondered if he was doing this full-time.

"But the tyrannical and uncontrolled abuse of magic experiments, finally destroyed the entire magical environment and survival and development, and finally on a dark rainy night, after the all-night carnival, when the Tower of Babel carried out the so-called god ceremony, the entire tower had a huge explosion, two-thirds of the tower disappeared directly, and the rest of the tower collapsed, leaving only the huge black base, which was automatically sealed after the explosion, and many magicians tried their best to enter, but so far no one has set foot on it. ”

It was getting dark, and the whole city seemed to be waking up. Due to the huge size of the airship, the speed of landing is very slow, Lu Ming just watched the whole city light up little by little, looking at the busy people whistling through the air and the endless flow of people on the ground, suddenly began to get excited, when you witness a great and prosperous city, you can't be indifferent, it seems that this is the starting point of all problems, if the principal didn't lie to him, here is the answer to all questions.

When young people think they are close to the truth and have the ability to solve problems, in fact, they are the most dangerous time, they often do not have the ability to achieve the state they want to achieve, and often fall into the trap of others because of the momentary self-confidence and revenge, and after paying a heavy price, they grow up.

Compared with the Law of War Academy, Zhongzhou is still in the north after all, and the air at night makes people feel a hint of chill. Luna silently took the hood of the robe, shrunk into the hat as much as possible, and quietly walked away from the window, looking at the curious Lu Ming next to her, the silent Li, and Xiao Million, who was bowing her head and communicating with Lin Peng, as the only girl in the team, didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Ming turned his head and saw Luna with his neck shrunk, and immediately understood something, hurriedly closed the windows on both sides of the seat, and accidentally touched a young man who was also wearing a robe and a hood in the seat next to him, hurriedly said sorry, and returned to his seat.

The boy who was hit lowered his head and did not speak, a long blue soft hair was revealed under the hood, he raised his head slightly, looked at the young man sitting down and the girl with the hood, and his lips hooked into a smile.

Welcome home.
