Chapter 8

"The first thing everyone needs to learn when practicing magic is to awaken all the seven attributes in their body, and this requires the cultivation of the seven most basic magic books. Of course, His Highness doesn't need this step anymore. All you need to do now is increase your own mana, and every time your mana goes up by a single height, I'll give you a light magic book to learn from. What is the highest level? He pointed to the sun in the sky, "The light you emit is comparable to the effect of the sun." ”

Shen Xinghe said that he understood, but it seemed very far away to really reach that level.

"As for the increase of mana, every time you walk the mana from the center of the brain to the whole body, you can increase the mana, and naturally the initial process of practicing magic can be very difficult, and it is often exhausting after a lap, because it is a very energy-consuming process. So for a period of time, His Highness only needs to do this every day. ”

Shen Xinghe thought, it seems that the morning of this period of time is two hours of Zama and two hours of magic cultivation, which are very basic and very important processes.

"By the way," Shen Xinghe looked at the man, "You should have learned a lot of water magic, can you let me see it?" ”

The man scratched his face, showing a bit of embarrassment, "If I really used all my strength, I could almost summon a river." Well, I'm just going to use the magic of Isse to demonstrate. ”

"Okay."

The man turned around, stretched out his right hand to make a holding gesture, and silently chanted a spell in his mouth, and after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly flashed, and his right hand flipped open and pushed into the air, and a water dragon rushed out of his palm!

The dragon was like the one described in the book, with fangs and claws, writhing and whistling, but it was hazy, as if it was made of water vapor, and it soon vanished.

Paulrot turned to Shen Xinghe, "Because it's only one percent magic power, it's not very clear, if it's ten percent magic power, that dragon's mouth will spew water, enough to flood a town." ”

"It's amazing......" Shen Xinghe couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the appearance of the person who cast magic just now was very powerful, which made people imagine his majestic appearance before thousands of troops.

"Your Highness has won the prize." The man smiled, "Now that I've said that's all I have to say, I'll take Your Majesty to see the Air Force, and then you can go back to lunch." ”

"Good!" Shen Xinghe's eyes bent into crescent moons.

The two got on their horses, and Shen Xinghe followed the man, this time in a different direction from the orc army, but the distance seemed to be not much different, and soon they arrived at another large camp.

This time, the guards were two humans in white uniforms, and they also greeted Paulrot like the previous guards of the orc army, who also introduced Shen Xinghe to them.

The two walked into the camp, this camp was not very lively like the orc army, it should be that everyone was resting in their respective tents before the training time, and only the soldiers patrolling the camp were seen.

"Because my army is training in the afternoon like Heningzhou, I can't see anything right now, and Xi Hean's army should be training. We would do flight drills almost every day, and there would be more than a dozen Condor and Magpie taking off at the same time, constantly flying in the air, and the scene was also very spectacular. Paulrot said.

"I want to see it." On the one hand, Shen Xinghe was itchy and unbearable, and on the other hand, he was extremely sorry.

"Well, I'll talk to the guards, take out a Condor, and I'll take you to feel it, because it's rest time, and all the planes are housed in a tent."

"Okay." Shen Xinghe smiled again.

The two walked for a while, and then came to a large tent near the edge of the rear of the camp, and Shen Xinghe noticed that this camp tent was much larger than the ordinary military tent. Paulrot led the way to the door and asked the guards to take out a Condor.

The soldier was ordered to enter the tent and soon carried something out, and when its full appearance appeared in front of Shen Xinghe's eyes, the latter's heart immediately swelled with a wave of amazement.

This is a very large kite, about two meters high, two and a half meters long on each wing, the shape of an eagle's wings, which is supposed to be the origin of its name; The material of the wings should look like canvas, suitable for blowing wind in the air and maintaining balance; Its skeleton is made of bamboo, which is both light and tough, and will not be an obstacle to flight. There are also two seats in front of this kite, people can sit on them, the two seats are set side by side, and the one on the left side has a wooden stick similar to a remote control device in front, which should be used to control the direction, quite like the steering wheel in a car.

"Come, Your Highness," Paul Roth beckoned Shen Xinghe to the side of the Condor machine, and stretched out his hand to point to the pilot and co-pilot's seats, "There can be two people sitting on it." This," he pointed to the stick, "this is the controller, and the person sitting in this position is responsible for controlling the flight of the entire aircraft. Okay, let's go to the usual practice grounds. ”

After speaking, he found two soldiers who were idle to carry the Condor machine behind, and he led Shen Xinghe to the venue he said.

On the way, Shen Xinghe asked curiously, "What do the Divine Eagle Machines and the Divine Magpie Machines rely on to fly?" It won't just be the wind. ”

Paulrot looked at him with a smile, "In addition to the wind, the most important thing should be the direction of the wind, if I want to go to the south and the wind is blowing to the north, wouldn't it be more and more helpful." When it comes to the power of flight, the Shenque machine sometimes does fly by wind power, but the Condor plane has always relied on magic to fly. ”

"Magic?" Shen Xinghe thought for a moment, "Is it to input magic power into the interior of the flying machine?" "It's a good idea, and the magic is generated by one's own practice, and it is easier to transmit and generate than electricity, and it is not easily exhausted.

"That's right. The Condor is piloted by a nobleman, and the magic power is transmitted to it while holding the controller in his hand, and the entire flight process must be maintained in this way, and the flight time depends on the mana value of the nobleman. As for the Divine Magpie Machine, it can be piloted by civilians, but it has to be powered by a large amount of mana input from the nobles before. During the war, the usual tasks of the air force are reconnaissance and surprise attacks, reconnaissance is the Condor is in charge, a nobleman to pilot, and the other scout can be either a nobleman or a commoner. As for the surprise attack, if the nobles on the Condor plane will launch magic to attack, and the civilians will drop bombs below, and the Divine Magpie Machine is only responsible for dropping bombs. Do you understand what I said, Your Highness? ”

"Got it." Shen Xinghe nodded. It seems that gunpowder is already available on this continent, but it has not yet been made into machine guns, but only used as artillery shells.

Well, although he doesn't support the war, Shen Xinghe still wants to see what the flying planes look like when they are really engaged in the war, their maneuverability should be good, but if people are in direct contact with the air when driving, the speed will definitely not be very fast. In addition, there should be no telescopes in this country, and if you want to detect, you have to rely on the naked eye, so you will have to fly lower, but isn't this easy to be discovered by the enemy? …… Shen Xinghe thought about this question carefully, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration - don't forget, the nobles of this country are magical, and having magic in their bodies should also improve their eyesight.

He asked Paulrot this question, and the man's answer was: "That's right, concentrating the magic power in the body to the eyes can improve your vision several times, and you can see objects on the ground clearly at an altitude of hundreds or even thousands of meters." ”

"Huh," Shen Xinghe thought of another question, "Can magic be used to protect the body?" If you use a mana protector while flying, you can increase your speed. This is what Shen Xinghe suddenly thought.

"Well," the man agreed, "The speed of the Condor Machine depends on the magic power of the two nobles on it, but the speed of the Condor Machine is not very high, and the impact force generated at the junction of air and air is also very large, which will definitely cause damage to people's bodies, but the people on the Condor Machine are ordinary people who can't do magic." ”

"I see." Shen Xinghe found that he had learned a lot.

Soon, several people came to the very empty field behind the camp, and there were almost no obstacles to see on all sides, although the Condor plane must not need to glide on the ground for a distance to help fly, but it is always better to have a wider field of vision.

Shen Xinghe raised his head and looked at the sky, today's weather is very good, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is not very strong, and there is only a little breeze in the air, although it is not helpful for flying, but it makes people feel very comfortable.

The two soldiers put the Condor on the ground and took a few steps back, and Paulrot said to Shen Xinghe: "Your Highness, let's go up." ”

Shen Xinghe walked to the co-pilot's position and sat down, the lower end of this seat was directly on the ground, and a piece of the front was stretched out of the foot. There are armrests on the seats, and the front end of the armrests is a movable wooden plank, and Paulrot helped Shen Xinghe put down the plank just in front of him, acting as a seat belt. Shen Xinghe stretched out his hand to hold the baffle in front of him.

"Are you ready?" Paulrot's hand held the controller and asked Shen Xinghedao.

"Hmm." Shen Xinghe nodded. I was looking forward to it.

"Okay, take off!" As he spoke, the man pushed the controller diagonally upwards, and the Condor flew immediately!

"Wow......" The feeling of the body slowly rising into the air is very magical, as if it was slowly dragged up by the air, Shen Xinghe leaned out and looked down, the scenery was gradually shrinking, and when he raised his head, the sky in the distance seemed to be close in front of him.

At this time, the wind was obviously much stronger than before, and the feeling of blowing on the face was very cool, and a few strands of Shen Xinghe's red hair flew in the air, and under the light of the sun, it looked crystal clear, like silk woven by blood.

"How's it going, is it fun?" Paulrot asked, not looking at him.

"It's fun!" Shen Xinghe turned his head happily, but at the same time he was a little embarrassed, "However, this should be military equipment, isn't it not good to be used by us like this." ”

Paulrot glanced at him and was surprised that he would have such an "enlightenment": "It's really not good, as a commander, doing this is a great damage to the military prestige, but it doesn't matter if it's just this once, I'm very willing to let His Highness feel it." ”

Shen Xinghe smiled, moved his gaze to the front again, and sighed faintly: "You say, if I pass the adult assessment in the future, can I join the army?" ”

He always felt that he was not qualified enough now, because the military should be a very sacred profession.

Paulrot didn't expect his layer, but he also sighed: "With all due respect, because Your Highness is O, you will never enter the army in your life." ”

"Yes." Shen Xinghe's voice lowered, and the fun and enthusiasm of flying seemed to be swept away at this time, and he almost forgot about his identity. I still remember when I heard Ann say that O who passed the adult assessment didn't have to stay in the fiefdom for the rest of his life, but the O of this country couldn't join politics and the army, and because he was a nobleman, he couldn't do what ordinary people did, so what should he do?

"You say," Shen Xinghe unconsciously said the words in his heart, "What's the use of me even if I pass the adult assessment?" Traveling around the world? Or do you simply stay in the fiefdom and start a family with A? ”

"......" Paulrot blinked, as if he couldn't understand the thoughts of the people around him with his heart, and suddenly thought that he had never considered such a question, theoretically speaking, O's day was like what he said, why would it be a little unbearable for this person to say it in such a tone?

"Sometimes, in fact, there is nothing wrong with this," Paulrot said with rare emotion: "As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, ordinary people will envy the high officials of the aristocracy, but they don't know that sometimes the nobles will also envy their freedom, and not everyone in this world can get what they want." If you can't change your background, try to adapt yourself and like who you are. I'm thinking that if Your Highness really gets married in the future, you will definitely be a virtuous helper. ”

He said so much, which made Shen Xinghe feel very warm in his heart. Although he doesn't like this kind of lifestyle that is too fateful, and he doesn't think that he will really be bound by certain rules.

And all of this can only be seen until you pass the adult assessment.

Shen Xinghe smiled, the previous frustration was swept away, and he teased Paulrot with interest: "Oh? I'm a good helper, so do you think you'll be a good husband? After speaking, he couldn't help but cover his lips and smile.

Paulrot didn't quite understand why this person changed so quickly, and he was still a little embarrassed when he heard his words, and stretched out his other hand to scratch his head: "I'll try." ”

Shen Xinghe smiled.

The two of them flew in the air for twenty minutes before returning to the ground, and Paulrot asked the two soldiers to take the Condor back to the barracks first, and then looked up at the sky, then walked in the direction of the back camp with Shen Xinghe, and said with a smile: "We can go back to lunch now, Your Highness is also hungry." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said it, Shen Xinghe relaxed his spirit, but what he felt was not hunger, but exhaustion that permeated his whole body. This can't be blamed on him, Zama was already very hard before, not to mention that riding a horse and flying with a flying plane are physically exhausting, he said to Paulrot with a bitter face: "I don't want to eat lunch now, can I go back to sleep first?" ”

Paulrot lowered his head and looked at him playfully: "Are you tired just like this morning?" Not to mention martial arts, my magic doesn't let you practice magic. But from tomorrow onwards, you will have to practice the magic power of force one after another, what will you do then? ”

Shen Xinghe couldn't help but sigh, in fact, this was also a problem he was worried about, the physique of this body was not bad, but unfortunately the foundation was not enough, and it was bound to consume a lot of physical strength in the initial stage of learning, which may also affect his daily arrangements.

After thinking about it, Shen Xinghe said: "I will get used to it as soon as possible, it shouldn't take long." ”

"That's good." Paulrot smiled and nodded.

The two walked out of the camp and came to their horses, and Shen Xinghe was about to ride his horse, but Paul Roth pulled him to his horse and asked him to sit on it first.

"I'm afraid that if you can't help but doze off while riding your own horse, you'll fall down." Paulrot explained, getting on his horse and sitting behind him, urging his mount forward, with Shen Xinghe's horse following behind

The two returned to the palace, Shen Xinghe went back to his room, and Paulrot went to the dining room alone, and the other three were already waiting there.

"Why are you alone, Your Highness?" Seeing that there was no other person beside him, Anles asked.

"He said he was tired, so he went back to bed first, and let someone bring him lunch later." Paulrot said as he sat down in his place.

"Are you so tired that you can't eat lunch? How to pass the adult assessment if you continue like this? He Ningzhou said dissatisfied, but he couldn't help but think of that person who was sweating when he was zama, and his body shook from side to side as if he was about to fall to the ground at any time and gritted his teeth and endured, this was the first time he had seen such an expression appear on that person's face for many years.

Paul Roth smiled: "I'm sure he won't let us down." ”

He Ningzhou lifted the bed tent, sat down on the edge of the bed, and quietly watched the person sleeping on the bed.

The long red hair fell out, almost all over the pillow, and there were a few strands lying on his face, and it seemed to be habitual to bury his face in the quilt while sleeping, and this man showed only a small half of his face, and his dream should be very beautiful, and his eyes were slightly curved like a sweet smile.

I don't know how long it took, He Ningzhou reached out and brushed the hair from the man's face, revealing half of his face.

A very good-looking face, since he was a child, but unfortunately he didn't pay too much attention to him at that time. Even when he was assigned by his father as his martial arts teacher, he was reluctant in his heart.

But now, the face of the person in front of him is the same, but he is already a completely different person.

"You know what? In fact, I am also looking forward to your future performance, and I also want to prove that you really will not let us down. ”

The voice was soft, like a sigh, but it made the eyelids of the person on the bed tremble.

……

There were two very soft knocks on the door, and then the door was pushed open, He Ningzhou didn't stand up, just turned his head to the door, only to see that it was An Les who pushed the door in.

He walked to He Ningzhou's side with a smile and whispered, "Hasn't Your Highness woken up yet?" ”

He Ningzhou shook his head, stood up and looked at the person who was still sleeping soundly on the bed with him: "No, is he going to sleep until dinner and then get up?" ”

Anlais turned his head to look at him: "I don't think so, maybe he will sleep for a while and wake up hungry." He sighed lightly, "You should also go to the army, I'll just watch him here." ”

"Okay." He Ningzhou glanced at the person on the bed again, waved at Alex, and walked out.

Anlais watched him go out, then sat down in his previous position, and also stared at the person on the bed, thinking about what Lulith had said before, and the performance of He Ningzhou and Bao today, the curiosity and expectation of the person in front of him rose to a height that had never been seen before. The only pity is that it's still too early and I don't know when I'll be able to see his amazing side.

When Shen Xinghe woke up, he felt that he had a rare good night's sleep.

He stretched out his arms, sat up energetically, lifted the tent, and saw a man sitting quietly reading a book by the bed.

"......" Shen Xinghe blinked.

The long silver-white hair of the person in front of him poured down softly, inadvertently adding a bit of elegance, because of the slight hanging eyes, the eyelashes were even longer, and the corners of his lips formed a soft arc, and the image of the whole person was so gentle and elegant.

“…… Quiet? Shen Xinghe subconsciously pronounced out the person's name, "Why are you here?" ”

When Anles heard his voice, he put down the book, looked up at him, and smiled slightly: "Your Highness is awake?" Did you sleep well? ”

Shen Xinghe touched his head a little embarrassedly: "Very good." ”

It's embarrassing, is this the reason this person is here to ask him this question?

"By the way," he asked the man in front of him, "have you been sitting on the edge of my bed?" I mean, from the time I slept? ”

Shen Xinghe always felt that when he was asleep, there was a person by his side who had been with him, and he said something, but he didn't pull the bed tent, and he couldn't be sure when he appeared and who he was.

"I didn't sit on the edge of your bed all the time, He Ningzhou came to sit for a while after lunch, and then I came over." Anles replied.

"Heningzhou?" Shen Xinghe read the name softly.

Before he could think for long, An Lais's laughing voice came: "Is Your Highness hungry now?" ”

"Uh......" Shen Xinghe reflexively wanted to answer, but unexpectedly, his abdomen sounded a few times as if he was deliberately answering his question.

What a shame! Whether it was because he was so tired from the morning class that he came to bed without lunch, or now he found that he was hungry for a long time, it made Shen Xinghe feel very ashamed.

Anlais stood up: "Then I'll go and get someone to bring my lunch." With that, he left the room.

"......" Shen Xinghe burst into tears behind him.

After Shen Xinghe had finished his lunch in his room, he felt alive again, and stood up and walked on the ground to help digest food.
