Chapter 66: Icewind Dale
Leaving the small lake, Lin Yang and Fanny found a nearby city to settle in.
This time, after killing nine unscrupulous players, Lin Lin gained a lot of weapons, equipment, props and other materials, and sold these materials into gold coins as soon as possible, and the two found a magic guild, used a teleportation device, and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers directly to the northern tip of the Faren Continent.
At the end of heaven and earth, the vast snowy mountains, above the halfway up the mountain, are full of snow that does not melt all year round, like a snow dragon, crawling on the earth.
The two of them walked forward.
"Lin Yang, you said that you had stayed in the Faeron plane before, so do you know what happened to this Jackdaw Castle Mage Academy?" Fanny asked abruptly.
"Superb." Lin Yang gave a thumbs up: "There is a proverb in the market, mage mage, jackdaw first; Warrior warrior, Candle Castle invincible. ”
"Well, this first sentence is the first in the world to advertise the mage of Jackdaw Castle, and the second sentence ......"
Lin Yang said: "The second sentence is to say that the only one that can compare with Jackdaw Fort is the Candle Fort Warrior Academy in the south of the continent. However, mages and warriors have different professions and are not comparable, so this proverb is also nonsense. ”
Fanny sneered and asked, "What about you?" Weren't you a thief? Do you also want to learn a mage double cultivation? ”
"Strictly speaking, I've done three ...... now. No, plus Transfiguration, I've now learned four professions. Lin Yang smiled and said, "So magician is my fifth profession." ”
"......" Fanny opened her mouth, surprised and didn't know what to say, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, if you want to become a jackdaw mage, the requirements should be very high, right?" What do I need to prepare? Money? Talent? Or ......"
"There is a hard requirement, they only admit children under the age of 15, as for the other conditions, I can't say."
"This is easy to do, do you think I look like a fifteen-year-old girl now?" Fanny giggled, tuckled her long hair, and looked harmless to humans and animals, and suddenly looked like a yellow-haired girl.
"I'm not going to have to worry about it." Lin Yang spread his hands, the bones around his body crackled, his height decreased slightly, and his whole face gradually changed, and in a moment, he had become a fourteen or fifteen-year-old immature boy, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was heroic.
……
The snowy mountain ranges, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, separate the frozen wasteland at the far north from the fertile part of the mainland, like a moat.
In the middle of the mountain range, there is an obvious large canyon, with a depth of thousands of meters, the inside of the canyon is flat, the buildings are numerous, the houses are scattered, the permanent population is tens of thousands, and the streets are full of magicians wearing various magic robes. Due to the cold climate in the north, the cold winds blowing from the tundra wasteland often roar over the valley, and this canyon is also affectionately known as the "Icewind Valley".
The Jackdaw Fort Mage Academy, located in the depths of Icewind Dale, this huge castle like a fortress is no longer an academy in the popular sense, while cultivating mages, it is also silently responsible for blocking the polar snowmen, long-haired savages, ice dwarves and other barbarian tribes in the tundra wasteland.
As soon as they entered Icewind Valley, the cold wind mixed with ice and snow raged, the surrounding houses were covered with a thick layer of snow, and the soil on the ground was also frozen hard, and the two of them shivered.
Then, Fanny raised her head and looked at the end of the valley, a mountain-like black and mysterious castle, thousands of meters high, like an ancient beast, although the distance was very far away, but she could still see clearly, and she was completely shocked.
"This is the Jackdaw Castle Mage Academy......" Fanny said foolishly.
"Well, don't worry about this for now, I want to see if there is a chance in the future, I'm about to freeze to death, find a bar to drink some spirits to warm up!" Lin Yang couldn't help but curse a few words about the weather, and hurriedly took out a few clothes to put on himself, still shivering with cold.
Fanny also took out a trench coat and put it on, stretched out her hand and pointed forward, and said, "There's a bar over there, it looks good, go in and have a look." ”
……
Inside the fireplace on the wall, the flames burned.
At this moment, the tavern was noisy and almost full, Lin Yang and Fanny walked in, barely attracting anyone's attention, and the diners were still drinking and eating meat while chatting heartily.
The two of them found a table in the corner and sat down, ordered two jugs of spirits and a few side dishes, and began to work.
On a table not far away, several big men with their backs were talking loudly, and their voices were quite rough, and almost everyone could hear them.
"Guys, have you heard? Recently, the enrollment of the new class of magicians in Jackdaw Castle is about to open, which has attracted the attention of the whole continent, and the rich children of various wealthy nobles have almost gathered here in the past two days! ”
"Who hasn't heard of such a big thing? It is said that among the sixteen wealthy families alone, there are young children of three families here, and even the royal family of the Holy Federation has princes and princesses present! ”
"Your news seems a bit unreliable, how did I hear that the younger generations of the four families of the Sixteen Wealthy Families are here?"
"Some wealthy kids, they should be in their early twenties, right? It is said that Jackdaw Castle only accepts children under the age of fifteen, and if the age exceeds the upper limit, will it be accepted? ”
"Tsk, you've lived for decades, why are you still so unenlightened, of course you can't be a little kid with an ordinary identity, if the background and origin are too big, Jackdaw Castle won't easily refuse, sixteen wealthy families, all of them are emperor-like existences, who dares to offend easily?"
"Hey, fuck it, don't talk about it! We should drink wine, drink meat, eat meat, we are all middle-aged, do we still expect to become magicians? ”
After hearing these words, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that we came at the right time this time." ”
Fanny was a little worried, "With so many competitors, it seems that our chances of being accepted have decreased a little bit." ”
"It's okay, even if the formal consideration is not passed, as long as you have enough money, you can still open the back door, otherwise how do you think those rich children got in?" Lin Yang smiled evilly.
"At least a lot of money, right? Where do we get all this money now? ”
"Have you forgotten that my basic class is a thief?" Lin Yang smiled evilly: "Picking locks and pickpocketing are my forte." ”
……
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dull sound of footsteps rang out from outside the bar door, far and near.
Everyone in the hall looked sideways, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange, what kind of person was it, walking as if the ground was shaking?
A few seconds later, a petite figure, covered in a thick snow-white fleece coat, about the height of an adult's shoulders, a delicate and small face, flaxen-colored hair tied into two small whips on the back of the head, the upper lip slightly upturned, looking playful and cute, estimated to be only twelve or thirteen years old, along the steps outside the bar door, up the stairs, as long as the pedestrians on the street turned their heads to watch, all the color.
On the wooden steps, there is a row of footprints that have collapsed an inch, while the rest of the place is intact.
The little girl stood outside the threshold, raised her right foot, and was about to walk in.
Everyone sweated in their hearts, it was unimaginable that such a lovely little girl walked with such heavy steps, and a row of footprints on the steps was the best proof of this, no one would doubt that there would be a big hole in the floor when she stepped down.
However, a miracle happened, and the little girl stepped lightly on the floor, walking on thin ice, and the floor was intact.
Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, many people continued to eat and drink, and many people were secretly observing this little girl, although they did not see the entourage, everyone was still secretly guessing that this person must be the rich son of a wealthy family, and it was not clear that he was the object of secret cultivation by one of the sixteen wealthy families.
The owner of the bar personally nodded and walked over, this shop has been open for so many years, he has naturally cultivated a pair of fiery eyes, and he can see at a glance which people are detached and cannot be offended, and which people are just bluffing, with a radius of eight taels.
Coming to the little girl, the boss confirmed his thoughts even more, the fluffy coat on the other party's body is made of high-quality snow-capped mink, not to mention tens of thousands of gold coins, which can almost take down his entire storefront, so the boss almost hunched his waist and said with a smile: "Little girl, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Beef, half-cooked." After saying something casually, the little girl looked around, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The boss immediately saw the embarrassment at the moment, the hall was completely full, and he shouted: "Someone!" Move a table! ”
"No need." With that, the little girl walked straight in a certain direction.
That was the table where Lin Yang was.
……
If there is anyone who is the most awkward person in my heart at this moment, it is none other than Lin Yang and Fanny.
The two of them were almost stunned, looking at the other side of the table, the half-cooked beef had been served, the little girl picked up the knife and fork and began to enjoy it, there were many people around who were looking this way, and the little girl seemed to be calm and comfortable, as if there was no one around, the knife and fork in her hand were cutting the beef at once, each knife was so precise, each one was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. In her gestures, the confidence she exuded, as well as the etiquette when eating, were even more aristocratic than nobles.
Forking up a piece of beef, the little girl opened her cherry mouth slightly, put the beef in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and savored it.
Such a calm and atmospheric style is completely disproportionate to her age.
"You're also going to the Jackdaw Castle Mage Academy to sign up?" Halfway through eating, the little girl suddenly raised her head, glanced at the two of them, and asked.
"We?" Pointing to his nose, Lin Yang said, "How do you know the Dao?" ”
"Because she's a magician, I feel magic fluctuations from her." The little girl looked at Fanny and immediately said, "In addition, you are both about fifteen years old, and appearing here at this time can already explain a lot. ”
"Uh......" Lin Yang said again, if the other party's attitude when eating can be pretended, what came out of her mouth at this moment, Lin Yang had no doubt that this girl had the wisdom and sophistication comparable to that of an adult.
"I also have to sign up for Jackdaw Castle, so let's go together." The little girl said as she ate, almost in an affirmative tone, "My name is Alice." ”
Alice...... Nice name. Fanny nodded, at this moment the little girl had completely aroused her interest, and couldn't help laughing: "My name is Fanny, and the guy next to me is called Lin Yang, since you said so, why is my sister embarrassed to refuse your proposal?" ”
Lin Yang was stunned and looked at Fanny, Fanny gave him a vague look, and could only shake his head and reluctantly agree.
……
Full of wine and food, the three of them walked along the long street and slowly entered the depths of Icewind Valley, Lin Yang and Fanny walked in front, and Alice followed behind.
"Hey! I haven't even agreed, how did you promise her to come with us? Lin Yang lowered his voice and whispered.
"Fool, don't you see it yet?" Fanny covered her mouth and smiled: "The background behind this girl must be very big, maybe it's a person from the sixteenth wealthy family, and having a good relationship with her will be very beneficial to our future, don't you want to take refuge in a big trend?" ”
"Yarn!" Lin Yang said a little angrily: "Then what if her background is which extremely vicious force?" When the time comes, if something happens, we will also be implicated and unlucky? ”
In the previous two planes, Lin Yang was fed up with the life of being hunted down and killed, and now once he dies in the game, it will be completely over, so he doesn't want to be involved in anything unknown for the time being, especially the kind of power comparable to the sixteen giants, once there is an accident, it is to set up a large group of enemies.
"Okay, then you can treat her as air from now on!" Fanny said angrily, "I'm going to make friends with her!" ”
