Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Wizarding World
Through the questioning of the village chief, everyone learned that this is a continent called St. Valen, a land that is said to be given to humans by the gods, and is a real magical world.
In the ancient First Age, there were many races such as elves, dwarves, and dragons on this continent, but after tens of thousands of years, these races gradually disappeared from human sight, and few rumors of them have been heard, but it is said that on the edge of the human world, there are still some settlements of non-human species in those jungles and small islands overseas, but most of them are rumors from the wind and shadows brought by explorers.
The current rulers of this continent are humans, who have multiplied on the continent of St. Valen, occupying almost every corner and establishing many kingdoms.
The Kingdom of Norsval is one of the most powerful of them, rising thousands of years ago and annexing most of the small states on the continent, and today it is the most powerful force across the continent.
The reason why the villagers are afraid of the "mage master" is that the magician, who is above the ordinary people, is a natural nobleman, and in this world, the nobility is a class that does not allow the offense of the commoners, and some lords do not break the law even if they kill their own people at will, let alone the mysterious magician in the legend.
From the frightened eyes of the villagers when they looked at her, Mu Lan could know the transcendent status of magicians in this world, but she was not a magician, and she didn't know if there was a warlock profession in this world.
"You ask them for specific information about the Norswar Kingdom and the Zoretan Barbarians." Mu Lan said to Shi Zhengyang in the spiritual link.
Shi Zhengyang immediately asked the village chief, but the village chief's expression was very dazed, he said that he was just a farmer who didn't know anything, where did he know about the things of the lords above, but he knew some of the barbarians in the north, it is said that each of those barbarians is two meters tall, and the blue-faced fangs are very terrifying, they eat when they see people, and from time to time they will attack human territory and kill people everywhere and set fire......
The village chief's description of the Zhuo Ruitan barbarian Mu Lan was skeptical, and the village chief's words couldn't be stopped, the more outrageous he became, what kind of fire-breathing monsters, evil ghosts who made a contract with the evil gods, as long as they looked at it, they would be captured and their souls would be taken away, etc., no matter how you think about it, it looks like a mythical story that can stop children crying at night.
And the reason why the village chief doesn't know much about his own country Mu Lan can also know half a point, the village chief with a wrinkled smile on his face is actually less than twenty-five years old, but the long-term hard work makes him look older, he was elected as the new village chief because of the accidental death of the village chief's father, this Norswar Kingdom should be similar to the feudal state of the Middle Ages in Western Europe, the king's power is limited, and all places are actually governed by noble lords, and the people only need to pay taxes and grain to the lords, and it is normal to be busy in the farmland all day long and not know who the king is.
"Looks like we're going to have to go to the big cities to get to know the world." Mu Lan thought about it.
Lin Yiyi frowned, put down the oak wine glass that had been drained many times of ale, burped and said, "These farmers don't know anything, and they can't read big words...... We don't know anything! ”
Mu Lan looked at Lin Yiyi's round face with a flush, and said with a forehead: "Can you drink less, you won't even be able to hold the bow steadily for a while." ”
Lin Yiyi said nonchalantly: "What is this...... I didn't even have the degree of beer, which is far worse than Lan Lan's beer...... This thing smells good...... I can drink a bucket! ”
Saying that, Lin Yiyi raised a glass with a few children and exchanged lamps, bragging nonsense about how powerful her archery skills were, and mingling with these children in a moment, I really didn't expect this self-cooked girl to be able to eat in another world.
Ignoring Lin Yiyi, Mu Lan continued: "From the village chief's description, Wheat Field Village should be located in the north-central part of the Norswar Kingdom, and further north in this direction is Oak Town, the nearest big city in this area, we should go to Oak Town as soon as possible to inquire about the news. ”
Zhao Ziyu glanced at Lin Yiyi with disdain, and then said to Mu Lan: "This time it is a team competition copy, there must be a team that has chosen the barbarian camp, this village is too remote, we can't inquire about the barbarian at all, we should really leave as soon as possible." ”
As the captain, Shi Zhengyang also agreed to go to Oak Town, and the three newcomers naturally couldn't refuse, the veteran Shen Wei was particularly interested in Shi Zhengyang's internal strength, he used to be a hot-blooded young man who loved martial arts novels, and those knights with high martial arts were what he longed for the most.
Putting aside Shi Zhengyang's strength, he is actually a good man in the traditional sense, and his attitude towards newcomers is much better than that of other captains of the reincarnation team, not to mention that he also has the mentality of inspecting his future teammates, and he is not tired of answering Shen Wei's questions one by one.
Xu Lei saw Shen Wei "climbing" the captain's thigh, and immediately became a little sour, and after pulling up the wavy curly hair, she threw a flattering look at Shi Zhengyang, and said with a charming expression that she thought was a very slashing man: "Thank you Brother Shi this time, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how many times we would have died, and we would have to trouble you to take care of it more in the future." As she spoke, she raised her oak glass and made a toast gesture.
Shi Zhengyang laughed dryly and said: "You don't need to thank me, Mu Lan and Yiyi have also made a great contribution, and besides, we are teammates now, so naturally we will not ignore you." ”
Under Xu Lei's flirtatious eyes, Shi Zhengyang took a sip of ale wine in embarrassment, and a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Ziyu's mouth on the side, Mu Lan also raised her eyebrows, but did not say anything.
Nothing happened this night, the seven members of the team spent their first night in this world in Maitian Village, Lin Yiyi drank a lot of wine, slept next to Mu Lan and said in her dreams over and over again, and snored from time to time, so noisy that Mu Lan put on earplugs.
Mu Lan found that she had insomnia, so she took out her mobile phone and flipped through it casually, of course there is no signal in this place, and the applications on the mobile phone that do not need to be connected to the Internet can still be entered, and took out the compass, and found that it can also be used, and the copy should only restrict the scientific and technological weapons that cannot take effect on the creatures in this reincarnation world, it does make sense to think about it this way, otherwise they can easily solve it when they take out machine guns and artillery when facing barbarians in a backward ancient society.
slept until dawn, Mu Lan had two dark circles under her eyes, and woke up Lin Yiyi, who was sleeping sweetly by grabbing her calves, this girl wiped her eyes sleepily, and exclaimed as soon as she saw Mu Lan's face.
"Why are the dark circles so heavy! Didn't you sleep well! ”
