Gordon asked, "Chuck, do you know where in High Rock there is a place to sell spell materials?" ”

"Of course, Your Excellency Baron Freeman." Chuck pointed to the road to the left after entering the city, "Go here, and you will be in the business district in less than ten minutes." Although High Rock City is a fortress city, and the commerce is not as good as that of Blue Water City, from here, it is not far to the northwest is the Orlandos Snow Mountain, and the southwest can quickly reach the Great Wilderness. Both of these are well-known adventure areas, and many adventurers and mercenaries will restock in High Rock, so you may not be able to buy spices and blankets from the desert empire across the sea, but you can buy many precious magic items. ”

"It's for the best." Gordon nodded.

"If you don't mind, maybe I can introduce you to some shops with reasonable prices."

"Won't you be reunited with your family?" Gordon asked. You know, the Dragon God's Blessing Day just passed yesterday, and the soldiers of the Sevato Fortress have just experienced a big battle and escaped death, so they should miss their families very much now. Even Gordon himself is always thinking about his sister Xie Ona during his travels.

"It's okay, I'm already back in High Rock City anyway, so I'm not in a hurry to rush this time."

Along the way, Chuck followed Gordon's side, and his attitude can almost be described as "courteous". Gordon could actually vaguely guess the other party's thoughts.

After yesterday's battle, the defenders of the entire Sevato Fortress can be said to have suffered extremely heavy losses. It is probably impossible to replenish the manpower for reconstruction in a short time - the big war is imminent, and no one has the spare time to pay attention to a small border guard. So Chuck and his remaining subordinates are likely to be directly integrated into the other troops.

The soldiers under him are fine. Anyway, they are all bitter and ha, and they are the same in any unit. But a mid-level officer like Chuck is in trouble.

The army is also a carrot and a pit, and it is impossible for other troops to hand over five hundred soldiers to him for command, so Chuck is afraid that he will face the dilemma of becoming a bare-bones commander. As for his future in the Ferreton army after this war, I am afraid it is even more difficult to predict.

He was an officer of civilian origin. There are no connections. After yesterday's battle, he was almost humiliated by the flag commander of the Wintertalon Legion's cavalry, which made Chuck understand that if he couldn't find a backer, he would not only achieve greater achievements in the future, but he might even get into trouble and even cause trouble to his family.

Anxious. Chuck, who was a bit sick and rushed to the doctor, targeted Gordon.

A strong, promising, and robbe. Isn't it the best choice for a young aristocratic mage with whom Grand Duke Antelo has deep connections?

What's more, the two also have a friendship that fights side by side, and in the conflict with Derlington, Chuck is also on Gordon's side. All these factors add up. Let the platinum centurion decide to get as close as possible to Gordon in order to find a way out for the future.

What Chuck thought in his heart, Gordon didn't care. All he needed now was a guide who was familiar with High Rock. If Chuck wants him to help him get a good position in the army, I'm afraid he will be disappointed. But if Chuck's ambitions aren't in the military, Gordon might be able to help.

By the time they have acquired their fiefdoms, the Freeman family will be in a state of ruin. Gordon needed a lot of people—people who were really scarce. Or just a subordinate who can only serve tea and pour water. Chuck has a lot of military experience, and he may not be an invincible general, but he can definitely do a good job as the captain of the garrison of a barony, responsible for the daily security and driving out bandits.

Everything needs to be prepared for a rainy day. Although he has not yet obtained a fief, Gordon feels that if he has the opportunity, he should be ready to form his own team.

Since Chuck is eager to lead the way for Gordon. The latter is also not easy to shirk. The two men walked slowly along the city wall and on the heavily rammed dirt road.

From time to time, Gordon looked left and right, observing the scenery on both sides of the street. Unlike the buildings of Clear Water City, which have different shapes and styles, the houses in High Rock Castle are almost all square houses made of strip-shaped long stones. Except for the difference in size and height, every house is almost the same.

And Ferreton South. In particular, the coastal style of architecture with large floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights to let in the sunshine is not seen here. In addition to the most basic daylighting function, all the houses in High Rock Castle have made the doors and windows as small as possible. In addition, he often saw square holes in the walls of buildings that were large enough for a pair of eyes to peek out - if a soldier with a crossbow was hiding in a building. It's easy to shoot out of this hole.

These buildings were built to the standards of small fortresses.

Even if an enemy breaches Goyan Castle, I am afraid that it will be in the middle of a brutal and bloody barricade battle. Every step taken to conquer the city comes at a terrible cost.

"What an amazing city!" Gordon exclaimed.

"Amazing? For you outsiders, perhaps. Chuck smiled wryly, "But for the residents of this city, living in such a house that is not comfortable in the cold in winter and hot in summer can only be regarded as a chronic torture." If it were possible, I would rather move home to the warmer south. Boys may be able to grow stronger in the wind and frost of the Northland, but the three little girls in my family are still more suitable for the lush south. ”

"You're a good father."

Chuck shook his head, "A good father in words." In practice, there is very little I can give to my family. ”

The two of them chatted for a while, and finally came to the street in the commercial area that specializes in selling magical items. Chuck didn't lead Gordon into the big shops with ornate fronts, but to a small and inconspicuous shop at the end of the street with a somewhat shabby sign.

"In the past, the battlefield mages in the fortress came here to purchase, the price of goods is fair, and there are no fakes." Chuck explained.

"Alright, let's take a look here."

Gordon was the first to push the door open and walked in.

This shop, called "Gems of the Wilds", is the most typical of small self-run magic shops, just like the "Ogre Scalp" in Douro before.

The store is small and can only accommodate up to five people. On the yellowed wooden shelves with insect eyes, all kinds of knick-knacks are messy. Perhaps no one but the owner can figure out exactly which type of product is placed where.

The only person in the store was sitting behind the counter, writing and drawing, and the words in his mouth: "No, it doesn't seem right here." I can feel that if I do, this magic scroll will fail to draw again...... What to do? Am I really not gifted to become a full-fledged mage? ”

The young man in the apprentice's robe was so focused on the drawing work at hand that no Gordon nor Chuck walked in.

The centurion was about to call him, but was stopped by Gordon with a wave of his hand.

Gordon walked over to the counter, where there was a piece of parchment on the table, and the young man was using magic ink to draw runic patterns and words on the parchment. Gordon glanced at it slightly, and he could see that the other party was drawing a magic missile scroll.

The promotion criteria proposed by the Mage Guild stipulate that in order to be promoted to a Ring Mage, a Mage Apprentice needs to master at least two One Ring spells and be able to use them proficiently. The criterion for proficiency is the ability to copy magic scrolls or enchant items.

Looking at the patterns on the parchment, a familiar feeling welled up in Gordon's heart, as if he had just returned to the time when he had just come to this world and was a little one-ring mage.

"You can replace the rune 'aoI' with 'nue', and then replace the five stars in the middle of the three runes with an inscribed equilateral triangle......"

The mage apprentice pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up with a sudden realization and laughed, "Haha, that's right, that's right. You're so right! ”

After expressing the excitement in his heart, he looked at Gordon embarrassedly: "Down there is Durina, respected Mr. Mage, thank you for your generous guidance." ”

This young man named Dalina was very ...... Characteristic, thin eyes seem to stop peeking around all the time, and a face is pointed and long, like a mouse. Although he is very young, he has deep wrinkles when he moves his facial muscles and changes his expression......

Lewdness - this is the only word that can most accurately summarize the appearance and temperament of this young man.

If someone who doesn't know what is going on walks into this store and sees Dulina's appearance, I'm afraid that he will immediately think that he has entered a black shop owned by a profiteer.

It's a miracle that Dulina has been able to keep this "gem of the wilderness" in business to this day.

"Darina, this is Gordon. Baron Freeman, a five-ring mage. He wants to come to you and buy something. Chuck said.

"It turned out to be Centurion Chuck, welcome, do you also want to purchase spell-casting materials for your subordinate war mages?" Dullina took out two chairs and beckoned to the two of Gordon, "And Venerable Master Gordon, please be seated." ”

Gordon grinned, barely laughing. It was the first time he had been dubbed "The Master".

However, in the eyes of the magic apprentice Durina, a five-ring mage can indeed be regarded as a master.

"Don't mention it, those guys are already buried in the rubble of the Sevato Fortress." Chuck waved his hand.

"I heard the news of the orc invasion early in the morning, and I didn't expect the fortress of Sevato to fall so quickly......" Dullina sighed.

The loss of the Great Wall meant that High Rock would face the orc armies. This is by no means good news for the city's residents. In fact, from the moment he entered the city, Gordon saw a faint sadness and uneasiness between the eyebrows of the pedestrians on the street.
