Chapter 539: The Returning Students
Jon swore that he would never ride the Tooth Cart again, and that he would be riding for three whole days.
Although I used to have a feeling of envy when I saw those rich people riding in the car, once I came to sit by myself, I found that there was no comfort as I imagined. And the city is okay, as soon as you get out of the city, the uneven road makes the toothed beast car jolt, and its magnitude is already about the same as a magnitude five or six earthquake......
"I feel like my bones are falling apart." He grumbled with a blank face.
"Even that little lady didn't complain, little brother, are you complaining there?" The coachman smiled, he was a very talkative middle-aged man, and he had a certain understanding of the customs along the way. Daisy knew a lot of interesting things, and relieved some of the fatigue and boredom of the journey.
Three days ago, after Sivi decided to hold the Great Magic Festival, he sent a recall notice to all of Edric's students, telling them to rush back to Edric's Third School District, which is Morag, as soon as possible.
And Alyssa, Alyssa, and Tiou received an urgent notice.
Alyssa, who didn't know what was going on in the road, planned to use the Returning Crystal to return directly to the academy.
But then the question arises - what should Jon do?
As the owner of the Soul Apparatus, Jon's name is still on the wanted list, if it weren't for the fact that he was just a lowly slave and no one bothered to remember what he looked like, and if the slave owner had been killed by him, his wanted notice would have been plastered all over the streets.
However, after some time of the limelight, Jon's appearance has also fallen into the eyes of those who have a heart. What's more, the Pope of the Evil Church of Necessity has already come to confirm his identity in person, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the wanted warrant will be issued......
Leaving him alone in Brunei City is tantamount to exposing him to the powerful eyes of those who covet soul equipment.
So after some discussion, Alyssa decided to let Juno, who had only received the usual recall information, be recalled. Daisy takes Jon to Morrag, and when they receive an urgent message, they go straight back with the Homecoming Crystal.
"Of course Daisy won't complain......," said Jon, slumping limply on the carriage, listlessly, "because she's fainted." ”
“……”
That's right, unlike the iron nerves that Elisa and her party have been tempered by Sivi through various hardships, Juno. Daisy was still an ordinary little girl at heart, and even Jon, who was a slave, became like that. Not to mention Juno. Daisy is such a delicate little girl. This long journey was naturally nothing short of torture for her.
As a last resort, the driver could only stop and take a short rest.
"Ah...... Mother of Heaven, are you calling me...... Warm and comfortable, free of pain and the world of tooth carts...... It's amazing......"
The girl with a stone on her pillow stared blankly at the sky. Muttering.
"Nope. Don't go to that suspicious place! Jon spat loudly. Apply a wet towel to the girl's forehead.
There was a creek nearby, and the water of the early spring still carried the biting chill of the melting snow at the end of winter. Daisy shuddered. My head is much clearer.
"Uncle...... How far is it from Morag......" she asked feebly.
"It's probably going to take another day." The coachman looked around, ascertained where they were, and said with some uncertainty.
"One Day ......"
Juno. Daisy and Jon's faces turned paler all of a sudden.
Will this hellish day ever go by...... It's too tragic, isn't it?
Juno. Daisy's face was full of sadness.
If it was really bumpy for another day, it was estimated that the girl would be able to vomit out her liver.
The coachman turned his head and saw the painful expressions on the faces of the two little ones, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly explained: "But the bump will soon be over, and in front of it is the world realm ruled by Edric's group of magicians. As soon as you get there, the condition on the ground will be better.
"Is Morag a bustling city?" Jon couldn't help but feel a faint sense of curiosity about the city he hadn't met yet, and after the coachman nodded, he asked, "Is it a traditional commercial city like Shobek City to the south?" ”
"No, actually, a year ago, that city was known as the City of Plagues, and no one dared to do business there except for a few merchants who were not afraid of death. Even I had to turn around and go back just to the front station. After all, no matter how much money you give, it's not as important as your own life. It's just that later the legendary great magician Sivi. Master Edric suddenly descended from the sky and defeated the demons lurking underground, helping Morag's people lift a curse that had lasted for decades. Later, the lord moved the magic academy he founded to Morag, and with all kinds of extraordinary means, he managed to run that small city into what it is now. ”
The coachman relished this kind of observation, and he took a puff of dry cigarette, smashed his mouth, and continued: "Now that Morag is the economic center of the nearby region, in order to make his feet hurt...... Oh, it's traffic, you see my brain, I just can't remember this kind of crepe vocabulary...... In order to make it easier to get around, the main roads around Morag have been re-poured and smoothed so that even hardwood-wheeled cars can walk on them without feeling the slightest bump! ”
"That Sivi. Is Lord Edric really that remarkable......" Jon couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I'd heard Alice mention their teacher named Edric in a few words before, and from the tone of voice, there was no doubt that they were full of 120,000 respect, and now even an ordinary coachman had an indefinite sense of awe for that person.
"It's not that I lied to you, little brother, I also once hid in the crowd and secretly glanced at him when that adult was traveling, that kind of feeling and that kind of temperament, tsk, it's really not comparable to us ordinary people."
The coachman spat and said with a smug face.
"Isn't that amazing......" Jon still didn't believe it. Muttered softly.
"It's not that magical, but most of it is right."
Juno. Daisy removed the wet towel from her forehead, sat up from the floor, and spoke to the boy.
Jon, who didn't expect to whisper to himself, was listened to by the girl, scratching his head a little embarrassed.
"The Dean has always been a mysterious person, not much even our students of Edric. Normally, he seems to be a very kind uncle (Sivi sneezed as far away as Edric's Academy), but his rumors have spread unimaginably in the wizarding world of the Eastern Plains, and have become a legend of the New Age of Magic. ”
Juno put the wet towel back into the bucket next to him, stood up and patted the dust on his robe: "And many of the legends about him are not exaggerated...... Stopped the advance of the Abyssal Demon Army. Foiled the vampire's plot. Defeated the invading orcs, defeated the demon king incarnate from the abyss, and rescued the forest elves for thousands of miles...... Almost every major event can create a hero. ”
Jon grew his mouth in surprise, "No, is there really such a powerful person in the world?" ”
"Throughout the Eastern Plains of humanity. The strength of the dean-sama can be ranked in the top three! The girl held out three fingers. Shook in front of Jon's eyes. Said proudly.
"I didn't expect the little lady to know so much, brother, I really danced the war dance in the Temple of the God of War (the meaning of the class door gets the axe), and I am ugly."
The coachman knocked his cigarette gun on the rocky mountain. Some shook their heads in amazement.
"My forte is to gather all kinds of intelligence, and it's normal to know this."
After straightening her braids, she got back into the car: "Since it's coming soon, let's not waste time." ”
At this moment, a tall horse-like feathered camel beast with a bright feather scurried by, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust, which frightened the two hogdonts enough.
But it wasn't long before the feathered camel came running back.
At this time, the coachman also reacted, the feathered camel beast is a monster of level 9 to slay it! For an ordinary person like him, if he encounters a crusade level that is not above level 5, there is still hope of escaping, and once he exceeds level 5, he is already very likely to lose his own life.
Jon subconsciously grasped the soul machete behind his back, intending to strike as soon as something was wrong. Although his knowledge was a little shallow because he had spent the first half of his life in a slave camp, he felt that the monster in front of him was not his opponent based on his instinct and the combat instincts he had cultivated during this time.
In fact, in terms of combat power alone, the single-digit crusade against monsters is really not a threat to Jon, who has two soul devices (three of them, but one of them is useless).
"Juno, did you also rush back after receiving the recall message?" A crisp female voice came from behind the feathered camel.
It was only then that they discovered that there were actually two people riding on the feathered camel beast.
"Sister Xierwen!" Juno. Daisy was pleasantly surprised to find that the girl sitting in front of her was also a student of Edric, and she was also an acquaintance of herself: "This feathered camel beast is so beautiful, did you take it in?" ”
The Feathered Camel Beast had something like a horse's chew tied to its mouth, and the students who had paid attention to the Strange Objects section of the Academy Store would know that this thing was called the Reins, and as long as the monster was subdued, putting it on would allow it to understand its instructions to a certain extent, eliminating the tedious need for training.
Of course, in addition to the high price of this thing, it also has a lot of requirements for the level limit of monsters.
"Ah, this ......" Hilwen shook the reins in her hand and said with some embarrassment, "This is Donald's bad taste, saying that knights have their own mounts or something." ”
Speaking of which, Sylvin realized that the knight sitting behind her seemed to be extraordinarily honest today.
She turned her head slightly to find Donald staring at Juno. Jon beside Daisy.
"That man, it's dangerous." Noticing that his partner had noticed his gaze, Donald whispered in Sylwin's ear.
It's just that this kind of intimate action made a pretty red glow fly on Xierwen's face.
"Sister Sirwin is still so good with Mr. Donald...... He was the first magician to find his own knight. "Probably because I saw the relationship of acquaintances, Juno. Daisy is obviously in a very good mood, without the somewhat timid look she used to have.
Speaking of which. Juno, won't you tell us about the little gentleman next to you? Although her face was still flushed, Sylven still straightened her face and asked seriously, "Or is he a knight you recognize?" ”
"Of course not."
Juno replied without hesitation, and then introduced him to Silwin, "His name is Jon, and he is my friend, and Sister Alyssa knows him. ”
Then she introduced Jon, who was still on his guard, "Jon, this is my classmate Sylvian, a very good magician, and behind her is her servant knight, Mr. Donald. ”
Hilwen nodded to Jon. And Donald was silent for a moment. He also rolled over and dismounted, and extended a friendly hand to Jon.
Jon wouldn't deliberately make enemies everywhere, not to mention that the other party was also a friend of his friend, so after hesitating for a while. He also let go of the hilt. He shook Donald's hand......
Because both groups of people are planning to go back to Edric. So after that, they simply left together.
On the way, they talked about why Xiwei would suddenly issue a recall order.
"The Great Magic Festival?" Juno. Daisy looked at Hilwen curiously.
"Yes, don't you know the truth?" Silwen asked in surprise, "It has spread in many places, as long as there is a magic academy nearby." You can always hear a little wind. ”
"We were in Brunei City."
Juno showed a sudden look: "Brunei is now occupied by the Church of Necessary Evil, and the surrounding church is more prevalent than the Academy of Magic. In addition, we have been desperately rushing for the past few days, so we have not heard rumors. ”
"O church...... I'm not used to dealing with organizations that don't have any magic at all. ”
Silwen sighed as well.
"Then again, I had to take Jon to the academy so I had to ride the Tooth Buggy. Sister Xierwen, you should have a group return crystal, right? Why do you want to ride the feathered camel beast back? ”
Juno. Daisy sighed and asked with a rather pleasant (ba) curiosity.
"Because the crystals are very expensive on the way back to the group." Sylven smiled wryly: "At the beginning, after we finished the task, we did use the group teleportation crystal to return to Edric, but the group return crystal is more expensive than the ordinary return crystal, and the credits earned by the simple task are not much spent, and the success rate of the difficult task is low, so it is not cost-effective at all." And if I still put all my credits into the reward points, my evaluation in the second half of the year will be dangerous...... So now you can save it, it's not an emergency recall anyway, it doesn't matter if you ride a feathered camel beast slowly, you can still enjoy the scenery along the way......"
"That being said, but doesn't it hurt to ride that ass all the time?"
"Of course it hurts...... I envy you too, you can take the car. ”
"I have my own troubles here."
The two girls looked at each other without saying a word, only a thousand tears......
Compared to the vibrant girl group, the youth group is much more lifeless.
Donald: "Are you a magic swordsman?" ”
Jon: "No. ”
Then there was an eerie silence.
Donald: "Do you prefer sweet tofu brains or salty tofu brains?" ”
Jon: "Salted tofu brains." ”
Then there was a deathly silence.
Even the driver who was driving the car felt like he was stinging in his back because of this atmosphere......
The rebuilt road was indeed much easier to walk than the mountain path, and after more than half an hour of steady progress, Morag's peculiar city walls and the only Edric Academy in the city that was higher than the ground level were finally revealed to everyone.
Because the suppression of the third school district seals the source of the plague, the academy has more of a crazy and flamboyant feeling than ordinary buildings. Also due to the source of the plague, Morag's sky was overcast most of the time, except for the clouds over Edric's Third School District, which slowly swirled and swirled into a whirlpool. Thick green arcs of electricity flashed from time to time, and when they had accumulated to a certain extent, the lightning would break through the dark clouds and swoop down on the roof that sealed the source of the plague.
And that huge amount of electricity will be directly transmitted into the magic energy conversion furnace buried deep under the academy in an instant, and it will be converted into the magic power that supplies the academy to operate......
But anyway, judging from the appearance alone, the third school district is more like the villain boss's lair than the college.
Fortunately, people like Juno and Hilwen are used to seeing it, but Jon, who has no knowledge and has seen the most bunker in his life, is only the necessary evil church stronghold in Brunei, and he directly fell into a state of shock and couldn't recover for a long time......
If he had previously been interested in the founder of this academy, Sivi. If there was any doubt about Edric's exaggerated exploits, that suspicion had disappeared after seeing this academy that was completely beyond the level that ordinary humans could build.
And when he got closer, he was even more surprised to see the amazing fallen city of Morag - he didn't expect that there was such a magical place in the world!
"Sylvian, Daisy, are you back too?" A figure fell from the sky, and after startling everyone, Juno. Daisy and Sylvain immediately recognized the person with a magic broomstick.
"Squad Leader Taylor." Juno, who is relatively unfamiliar with Dorothy. Daisy respectfully made a mage salute.
"You don't have to be so outside~" Dorothy herself is more easy-going...... It's a pity that the impression and murderous reputation of beating Kamiyu more than ten meters with one punch when he was a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission were too strong, so Juno was still afraid.
"Dorothy, are you planning to go out?" Hilwen asked curiously.
Obviously, I just received a recall order, why would I go out at such a time?
"It's a preparation for the Great Magic Festival." Dorothy put her finger to her lips: "Keep it a secret for now, and soon you will find out." ”
With that, she said goodbye to the group, sat back on the magic broomstick, and soared into the sky, gradually disappearing from their field of vision.
"Anyway, let's go back to the academy first." Silwin's proposal was unanimously agreed: "As for Jon, can you sit outside in the tavern for a while?" Outsiders need to have a permit to enter Edric, and it will take a little time to get it for you. ”
"In that case, Senior Sister Alyssa should have already done it for him." Juno interjected.
"Oh, that's easy to do." Hilwen smiled with a smile that made Donald taste: "Let's let you have a good look at the most magical magic academy in the Eastern Plains." (To be continued......)
