Chapter VI Kormit Forest
Thousands of years ago, four dragon heroes led the four human legions to fight against the demons, when the heroes died one after another, the dragon turned into the current mountain range, the descendants of the hero Theo became the king of the empire, the four legion commanders were given the title of imperial dukes to guard the four passes, and the regions of their feuds were named after their surnames, and the four deputy legions were divided into the relatively safe four regions of the southeast, northwest, and north. At that time, the commander of the Fire Dragon Legion, Girond Drakles, was divided into the Northwest Region, and the Derrickly Region was derived from this.
The Derrickly Region is located in the northwest region of the Xio Empire, covering an area of 600,000 square kilometers, close to the Hephaestus Mountains and the Minta Mountains, mainly responsible for the defense of the northwest, and is also the most heavily defended region. For some reason, every year the demonic invasion takes the Northwest Pass, Ziwei Pass, as the main direction of attack, resulting in the loss of about 100,000 people in the Derrickly Region every year. Such a huge manpower gap caused the population center of the empire to continue to move northward, and the Derrickly region naturally became a population region.
The Lutheran province in the Derrykli region is located in the northern part of the Delbykli region, adjacent to the Hephaestus Mountains, and has a relatively developed industry and agriculture, but what really makes Lutheran province comparable to the province of Gelonde, where the regional capital Dobon is located, is its endless stream of excellent magicians, more precisely, a series of excellent magicians trained by the Lutheran School of Magic.
The Luther family is an ancient family familiar to the entire wizard world of the Empire, and its ancestor Tangrek Luther was once an important advisor and combat force of the Fire Dragon Legion, and is said to be a top sixth-order magician. After the establishment of the Empire, he was made an earl by the Legion Commander Girond, and was divided into what is now the province of Luther.
Tangreck Luther was obsessed with magic all his life, and did not hesitate to teach the essence of magic to some young people with excellent qualifications, before his death, he used half of his family property to establish the Luther School of Magic, and those young people who had received his selfless guidance gladly entered it as teachers, and passed on his magic theory to future generations, such as a hundred years later, the Luther School of Magic has become one of the top ten magic schools in the empire, and about two hundred people graduate from the Luther School of Magic every year, And magicians above the fourth order account for more than 80% of all graduates, making an important contribution to the empire.
Relying on the prestige of the Lutheran School of Magic, tens of thousands of children go to Lutheran every year to participate in the selection during its spring admissions, and such a huge flow of people naturally drives the development of Lutheran Province, making it prosperous enough to compete with Gironde Province.
The destination of Kenneth and Mick's trip is the Lutheran School of Magic in Luther City.
——————————
On the endless plains, as the sun gradually set in the west, a caravan of eight wagons marched unhurriedly along the mud road to the southwest, each with two warrior-like men on either side of the carriage, plus two riders in front and behind, to escort the caravan. Most of these people are adventurers who have accepted the escort commission from the Adventurers' Guild, and their professions are also diverse, including assassins, archers, warriors, and even more rarely, there is a magician, although he is only of the second order, but he still enjoys different treatment from other adventurers, and sits in the luxurious carriage at the front with the big mine owner Old John, who issued this commission.
"Ah~~Why hasn't it arrived yet~" In the carriage of the last carriage, Kenneth, who was sitting in it, raised his head, looked at the roof of the car with blank eyes, and let out the twenty-eighth complaint of the day.
Today was the third day of their departure, and the novelty of leaving home at the beginning was slowly fading, and they spent most of the time in the carriage along the way, which naturally made Kenneth feel bored.
"Kenny, be quiet." Mick, who was sitting opposite Kenneth, was holding a thick book in his hand at this time and reading it carefully, Kenneth's complaint obviously disturbed his thinking, so he raised his head, stared at Kenneth with a pair of blue eyes, and said helplessly, "If you feel too idle, I have a lot of books to lend you here." ”
“…… No, it's all books about magic, I can't read it. Kenneth shifted his gaze to the book that Mick was placing on his lap, pointed and asked, "Mick, what are you looking at right now?" ”
Mick held up the book in his hand, and on the cover was written four large words - "Introduction to Magic".
Kenneth choked and asked puzzledly, "Do you want to watch this now?" ”
Mick clipped a red ribbon from the spine of the book to the page he had seen, then closed the book and said to Kenneth seriously, "Kenny, magic is not so simple, the closer we get to the nature and principles of magic, the more we need to memorize, analyze, question, and explore. Even if I was already a second-order magician, it only meant that I had learned to cast a second-order magic, and I still only knew a little about the nature of magic. ”
Even what the predecessors said only represents his point of view. For example, the mainstream view is that the chief magician Mr. Omi Statham believes that there are only four elements, that is, the four elements of fire, water, wind and earth, while the mixed elemental faction, led by the chief magician Mr. Tangore, believes that there is an element called 'chaos' above the four elements, and in their view, when the mixing of the four elements reaches a certain proportion, the four elements will cancel each other out to form the chaos element, which is both four elements and not four elements......"
"Stop, stop!" Kenneth saw that Mick was getting more and more excited, and his head was getting more and more painful when he heard it, so he quickly stopped and begged for mercy, "Mick, I know!" I was wrong! I won't bother you, you should continue to read! ”
Mick was talking about his excitement when he was very upset that Kenneth was planning to do this, and said angrily, "Kenny, you just don't read too much, and you will be affected by entering the academy when the time comes!" ”
Kenneth put his hands behind his head, looked at Mick and frowned, "Mick, why are you studying magic so hard?" ”
Mick was stunned for a moment, and then he touched his head and smiled: "Am I not afraid that I will not be able to keep up with your footsteps?" ”
You must know that Kenneth has the "protection of the fire dragon" on his body, which is equivalent to cultivating all the time, even the sleeping fire element is constantly and slowly transforming his body, so that every muscle and every nerve is strengthened, although there is no hierarchy as a warrior, but the current Kenneth as a warrior is indeed on par with a first-class warrior.
Kenneth had a puzzled expression on his face, looked at Mick and muttered, "Although what you said is true, I always think you are weird......
Mick sighed: Kenny looks reckless and rough on the surface, but he has a strong intuition, well, just like the animals in the mountains behind Tushan Town.
Mick didn't show a penny on his face, waved his hand and said, "It must be Kenny that you're thinking too much." After speaking, he opened the book again and read it carefully, frowning slightly.
Kenneth looked at Mick reading a book, patted his head and said, "By the way, this is it, Mick used to smile when you used to read books, but now you always frown!" ”
Mick was worried that he couldn't read the chapter "The Fundamentals of Alchemy" in the book, when he suddenly heard Kenneth scream, and was so angry that he directly lifted the book and pounded Kenneth on the head: "Kenny, you're so annoying!! ”
The two were making a fuss, when the carriage, which was originally moving smoothly, suddenly stopped, and a shirtless bearded man with a big sword on his back rode to the carriage where the two were located, and said in a loud voice: "Little ghosts, we are going to camp in the Kormit Forest tonight, and the boss specially asked me to remind you, and take good care of you by the way!" Kenneth, how about Uncle teach you again tonight? I'll be 'gentle' this time, haha! ”
Kenneth's body trembled when he heard this, but he knew the bearded man in front of him, and knew that his name was Monan Wood. Monan is not an adventurer, but John Sr.'s personal bodyguard, and his strength is outstanding. Kenneth had a similar temper with him, and became close to him a lot, and out of curiosity, he also consulted with him for advice on punches and feet, and he was mercilessly thrown to pieces, although he was not injured by the protection of the fire dragon, but his heart was greatly traumatized, so that Kenneth wanted to turn around and run away as soon as he saw Monan.
Although Mick didn't know Monan, he also knew his name from Kenneth's complaint, and when he heard what he said, he was stunned and puzzled: "Uncle Monan, didn't you say that there are many magical beasts in this Kormit Forest and they are very dangerous?" Why do we still have to camp in the forest and not outside the forest? ”
Monan glanced at Mick, touched the cheeks under his chin and said, "Hehe, you little ghost is Mick, right?" Sure enough, it was as smart as Kenneth said. ”
Mo Nan glanced at the caravan that stopped the convoy to check the supplies and solve the physiological problems, and said to the two: "Actually, the boss's youngest son wants to see the night view of the Kormit Forest, saying that he wants to feel the nature closely, anyway, it is like this." The boss is a reasonable person, of course he knows the danger in the forest at night, but he can't resist the crying of the little son or agree, really, the little kid is annoying. ”
"So are we in danger?" Mick asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, there is an uncle, I will protect you two little ghosts!" Mo Nan laughed and said, "Actually, the demonic beasts in this Kormit Forest are only around the second order, which is naturally very dangerous for ordinary people, but it is really not dangerous for us people. ”
The demonic beast in Mo Nan's mouth refers to a beast with a certain IQ and can cast magic, and a two-order demonic beast naturally refers to a beast that can use two-order magic.
The existence of Warcraft has always been a debated issue in the wizarding world. Because Warcraft relies on the magic array when it uses the magic array, and the source of its magic array has always been incomprehensible to humans. The explanation of this problem is also divided into several schools, such as the inheritance school, the taming school, the coincidence school, the creation school, and so on. But in any case, Warcraft does exist and poses a certain threat to the survival of humans.
"Keep going!" In the distance, Old John's shout was heard again, and after saying hello to the two men, Monan rode to the front of the caravan, and the convoy set off again, slowly entering the Kormit Forest.
Mick sat in the car and said to Kenneth, "Kenny, I have a bad feeling. ”
But Kenneth leaned back to himself and said indifferently: "With me, who can hurt you?" ”
Mick looked at Kenneth's casual appearance, and his uneasy mood inexplicably settled.
