Chapter 2 Ma Tong
γγγγγγγγ
Sacred Grove Empire, Greene Province, Yorkshire, Sakura Hill Town, Anxi Town.
There is a low mountain with cherry blossoms blooming on the mountain, and every spring, it becomes a sea of flowers, attracting many nobles and commoners to watch.
At the foot of this cherry blossom mountain, there is a huge castle, this castle belongs to the cherry blossom mountain family, and every season, the owner of the cherry blossom mountain castle will open the city gate to welcome the people who come to visit.
In the dark night, in the backyard of the Sakura Mountain family, in the dormitory of the horse boy next to the stable, a small figure was lying on the bed, sweating profusely, and the next moment, he woke up instantly and sat upright on the bed, he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and his heart was terrified. He looked around, it was still the familiar place, and let out a long breath, this dream was so real, it was really terrifying.
Especially the pain under the big grinding plate, even through the void and reality to the present, even if it is a dream, it has caused him great mental pressure.
Especially this dream, I've been doing it lately, as soon as I close my eyes, the big grinding wheel of heaven and earth will appear in front of me, extremely real, the power of that majestic shore is simply suffocating, even more terrifying than the housekeeper.
Looking at the extremely dark house, wiping the sweat on his head, Rowan looked shocked, and at this moment, the peripheral vision of his eyes seemed to see something approaching him in the dark, and he was startled.
The dark shadow looked at him in the darkness, and a deep voice rang out, "Rowan, are you having nightmares again?"
The sweat on Luo Wen's forehead was a little more than just now, and he was trembling a little, and in the darkness, he seemed to have encountered something terrible.
He nodded like a chick pecking rice, and explained tremblingly, "Yes... Yes, Lord Butler. β
The black shadow looked at him, didn't seem to care, he didn't speak, just looked at Rowan coldly, in the dark, the atmosphere seemed a little weird, after a while, the black shadow said, "There is a precedent for your situation, usually inexplicably dreaming for dozens of days in a row, but it is a nightmare situation, most of them are signs of potential awakening, if you are free tomorrow, you can go to the magic institute to identify the qualifications, if it is successful, I can also produce a magician in Anxi Town." β
Luo Wen nodded in a panic, as for whether it was a magician or not, he only knew that if he was interrogated by the housekeeper, he would really collapse, this housekeeper was really ruthless, killing people without blinking, and half of the personnel losses in the backyard a year were all due to this housekeeper, but they civilians had no ability to resist at all, after all, they still had to rely on others to eat, and they didn't dare to offend at all.
"Rest well. The shadow crept away from the darkness.
I don't know how long it has been, I can no longer feel the existence of the black shadow from my perception, Rowan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat from his head, picked up the kettle from the head of the bed, poured it violently, and lay down in shock.
This is a dream, but it is so incomparably real, he sometimes wonders if it is a dream, at this time, there is a sharp pain in his brain, and Rowan faints directly.
Early the next morning, the extremely punctual biological clock woke up Luo Wen, but at this time, Luo Wen's eyes no longer had the usual ignorance, but became a little calm.
"It turned out that it was all true, and I really crossed over. "Luo Wen, on May 1, thirteen years after this world, he finally awakened the memory of his previous life, and the memories of the two lives were mixed together, and Luo Chunqiu digested it, although these thirteen years were muddy, but it did not prevent the current Luo Chunqiu from judging his own situation, as a modern person, he easily formulated a life policy and strategy.
"Forget it, cross over, cross over, people always have to live first, although in this world, I am just an ordinary civilian, but it is better than being a slave. This life is called Luo Wen, and the last life is called Luo Chunqiu, forget it, what do you care about so much, they are all people of two lives, why can't you see through these. Rowan quickly resumed his role, with a blank expression on his face, and began to wash his face with water and resume his role.
But he spent the morning thinking about his previous life, the kind of grief and anger in the dream, the pain, seemed to run through all the memories, and at noon, his head was still a little painful, and his thoughts stayed at the moment before death, and there were six reincarnation grinding discs.
"Damn, this turned out to be true, this turned out to be true... β
Although Luo Wen's expression was blank, he set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
The six realms of reincarnation are just legends in folk tales, what kind of hungry ghost road, human road and the like, there are many sayings about reincarnation, but Rowan didn't expect that those versions are basically incorrect, only this six realms of reincarnation disk really exists, and it is so majestic that it can't be looked at directly and irresistible. He didn't know if there were three thousand worlds in this world, but he knew that there were indeed multiple worlds, and those strange souls, this world was the proof.
All of a sudden, Rowan was full of interest in this world.
Rowan is just a thirteen-year-old kid now, he can't resist anything, in order to get this job, he has paid a lot before, but after awakening the memories of his previous life, he doesn't attach so much importance to this job now, with those memories of his previous life, he can do anything faster than this.
The essence of this world, but it was beyond his expectations, this is a world of swords and magic, it is a very high-energy world, I didn't feel strange as a native before, after awakening the memory of my previous life, he suddenly found that there are too many things in this world that are different from my previous life, such as a backward social system, this is still a world where slavery is prevalent, and the hierarchy is strict, and for example, backward technology, compared with the previous life, this is simply a primitive society, nothing, even the fire is through flintγ
The essence of the high-energy world is that the energy level is high, this kind of world can produce all kinds of strange things, such as samurai, such as magic, or other weird professions, although Rowan is not a professional god stick, or a professional world researcher, but with his strong reading ability and various books that are not rejected by those who come, he has been quite immune to this kind of thing, and now that he really came to such a world, his mind suddenly became lively.
However, he is still just a small horse boy, and although the butler asks him to try it at the magic office, he may not really become a magician, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Rowan now works as a horse boy in the Viscount's Mansion in Anxi Town, ten miles outside Sakura City, working twelve hours a day, feeding the horses, washing the horses, and sometimes occasionally leading the horses out to slip around, and after the addiction of horseback riding, there are four or five other people working with him, a supervisor, three middle-aged people, of course, a lot of work is done by him, just like now, he has gotten up, the three lazy people are still lying on the bed, a lot of work is done by him, he didn't dare to resist before, but now...
Speaking of which, this Viscount's Mansion is also a strange existence, according to the rules of this world, nobles, that is, the high-level identity recognized by the empire, there is generally only one viscount in a city, and the number of barons is not much, but this Sakura City not only has two viscounts, but the difference in strength is not small, so, the place where he works now is quite good according to the people of this world, Viscount, this is already equivalent to the identity of the county magistrate in the previous life, working in the viscount's house, at least eating and drinking without worry.
Samurai can be seen everywhere in the Viscount's Mansion, almost everyone in this world seems to practice martial arts, there are many strength levels between samurai and samurai, and often the difference in strength between a level is huge, but in this world, magicians are a little rare, according to the experience of the previous ten years, a year, a city may only produce about two, so there are magicians, but they are not so easy to meet. Occasionally, a magic apprentice or two would pass by in the town, leaving behind a legend of the place.
Luo Wen also knew that this nobleman, the viscount was also a high-level swordsman, a third-level master of fighting spirit, and in this viscount's mansion, there were also a large number of viscounts' personal guards, basically not boxers, swordsmen, knights, all kinds of them, but there was no magician.
This makes Rowan more strange, logically speaking, a noble viscount will not be able to afford a magician, but he has lived a muddy thirteen years, and even has a little grasp of words, and his lack of knowledge is pitiful, and it is reasonable not to know the mystery.
After thinking about it for a long time and sorting out his thoughts, Rowan shook his head, washed up, and after packing up his things, he didn't go to the stables as usual, but went directly to the gate and asked for the porter.
The porter is a sixty-year-old uncle, named Robert, who is a little harsh, but what the housekeeper ordered, the old man Robert did not dare to be delicious, and after taking the road, Rowan walked out of the Viscount's Mansion and walked towards Sakura City.
The town of Anzai is not far from Sakura City, only about ten miles away.
Not far away, Rowan looked back and saw the so-called Cherry Blossom Mountain.
The Holy Forest Empire is a plain country, most of the places are plains, rich in all kinds of food, it is a very typical agricultural empire, the mountains here also belong to that kind of plain mountains, like a dirt bag, the reason why Sakura Mountain is famous is because there are many cherry blossoms on the mountain, every spring, it will attract a large number of nobles to come to watch, sometimes, there are many princes and nobles, therefore, the relationship network of the viscount is not small, but at this time it is already summer, and the cherry blossoms are naturally not. The Plains Empire also has the benefits of the Plains Empire, that is, most of the warriors here are knights, or heavily armed knights, and they are almost invincible on the plains, but because it is a plain area, it is rich in food, so the Holy Forest Empire is often at war with neighboring countries, and the loss of heavy knights is quite amazing.
However, such wars occur relatively rarely, except in the case of famine in neighbouring countries. Moreover, there are many races in this country that are enemies of the human race, and they cannot afford internal friction.
After seeing Sakura Mountain, Rowan continued to walk towards Sakura Mountain.
As he walked, he thought about the information of this world, and soon, he came to Sakura Mountain Castle, and he simply didn't want to.
In the first ten years, there was very little information about Sakura Mountain Castle, and he only came a few times in his memory, and he couldn't remember it clearly.
Sakura Mountain Castle is not large, and it is surrounded by very high and thick walls, and because of the lack of stones, the walls are basically mixed with earth and stones, and the heavy riders even fall down as soon as they rush. The city wall is about five meters high, and the thickness is also five meters, and the middle is the gate, which is not high, but it is very wide, and it is enough to walk side by side through three or two carriages, and there are several rows of guards standing at the door.
Generally speaking, to enter the city, you have to go through the security check and pay a copper coin fee, which is the rule.
Queuing up to the door, Rowan was ready to meet the security check as usual, and at this time, a voice came from behind.
"The Viscount's Mansion won't take any money, let it go quickly, little one, you can go in quickly," said a man who looked like a team leader.
The soldier who was blocking the way in front stepped out of the way, laughing at the same time, "Lord Viscount is said to be about to be promoted to war division, what a envy!"
"Envy fart, people have that qualification, do you have it?"
The man's face turned embarrassed and he said, "You seem to have the same." β
γγγγ
Rowan turned around, saw the person who spoke, nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." β
The team leader was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and said, "A servant is also so polite, the Viscount's Mansion is the Viscount's Mansion, little guy, go in, remember to come out early and close at eight o'clock in the evening." β
Rowan nodded and said, "I remember." With that, he turned around and walked into the city, looking at the city of this new world as he went.
The streets in the city are very wide, at least in Rowan's opinion, there are all kinds of wooden high-rise buildings on both sides, the highest has five or six floors, the lowest has two floors, close to the city gate, basically there are shops and inns, this time is extremely hot. He walked in slowly, and found that on both sides of the city gate was a small military camp, with many war horses tied to the door, wearing heavy armor, and large swords hanging on the horses, which looked majestic.
However, as far as Rowan knows, it is very safe here all year round, and it can train soldiers to this extent, which shows how unsafe this world is.
As you walk, enjoy the view of the city. The scenery of the exotic world is naturally incomparable with the previous life, how does the reinforced concrete look, and it does not look like this pure wooden structure, and the area here also has characteristics, and Luo Wen looks at it with relish.
Soon arrived near the City Lord's Mansion, Rowan didn't know where the magic office was, so he asked someone casually, and after thanking him, he walked straight to the City Lord's Mansion, the magic office was not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and it was easy to recognize.
The magic house is a pentagonal tower-type structure, with about seven floors, from the bottom to the top, gradually getting smaller, each corner of each layer is hung with several strange lights, even if it is noon, it also emits a soft light, enveloping the entire magic tower in it, and at the same time exuding a force, making people feel a heavy pressure, shrouded in the heart, the entire magic tower looks sacrosanct.
Rowan touched his chin, according to the memories of the two lives, he should have speculated that these things were for defense, or simply for good looks, but no matter why, the entire Cherry Blossom City was probably the only place in the city that had the ability to make such things.
In the middle of the door stood a bored middle-aged man, looking at the rising sun in the distance, he was wearing a wide strange costume, which seemed to have a strange power, which made people unbearable to look at, Rowan speculated that this was a magic robe. He had a book in his hand, but he didn't, he just held it in his hand.
Rowan looked left and right, and felt that there was no problem, so he walked to the door, saw the middle-aged man, and said with a salute: "Respected Magician, I am Luo Wen, a servant of Viscount Daley's Mansion, this is a recommendation from Lord Viscount, and I hereby come to test my qualifications." Rowan immediately bent down and handed over the Viscount's letter of recommendation.
The middle-aged man had already seen Luo Wen, as a senior magician, he could naturally feel that Luo Wen's spiritual power was stronger than that of ordinary people, his brows were stretched, and his psychology was slightly comforted, "Finally, a seedling has come, I don't know which lucky one it is." After taking the recommendation book, he didn't open it, it meant nothing to him, he looked at Rowan carefully, waved his hand generously, and said, "Come in, little guy." β
The middle-aged man turned around, put the recommendation book on the table by the door, greeted Rowan, and walked inside.
Seeing this, Rowan hurriedly followed, although he didn't understand why this magician didn't read the recommendation letter, he had already made some inferences in his mind.
Stepping into the door, he saw the structure in the magic tower, which looked far wider than the outside, the first floor was the hall, and on the left was a place similar to an office window, in which sat a young man who was still bored, on the right was a row of seats, and directly opposite was a small door, and the middle-aged man kept walking towards the small door.
Rowan followed through the doorway.
Behind the door was the staircase, and the middle-aged man turned around and walked towards the stairs, and Rowan could only quickly follow.
Came to the second floor, and when he arrived at the staircase, the middle-aged man turned around and walked towards the corridor on the second floor, Rowan looked here, and found that there were many rooms on the second floor, and the middle-aged man walked a few steps at random, pushed open the door of a room, and stepped in.
Rowan followed.
The room was empty, there was nothing around, only a wooden chair in the middle, and the middle-aged man waved his hand and motioned for Rowan to sit down.
Rowan was a little stunned, what did this mean, but he didn't say it, he sat down according to his words, but he was a little nervous, would the magicians here do some strange things, such as γγγγγ
The middle-aged man looked at Luo Wen, who was a little nervous, and said with a faint smile, "Don't be nervous, just do a test, nothing will happen, something wonderful will happen later, you just hold on and don't fall unconscious." β
Rowan nodded subconsciously, and then thought of a lot, but if he didn't think badly, it should be a test of mental power, magic magic, that is, spiritual consciousness manipulation of magic elements. For a magician, spiritual power is a very delicate thing, generally speaking, spiritual power can also be said to be one's own memory, it can also be said to be the brain cells that carry knowledge, it can also be said to be brain waves, etc., in short, even in the previous life, I am afraid that I have not studied what spiritual power is.
After settling down, he signaled to the middle-aged man to be ready.
The middle-aged man nodded, then folded his hands, the ten fingers separated, and the light touch, stirring up a faint light, which did not dissipate, but floated in mid-air, and then rushed to all parts of the room.
A faint glow began to emanate from the floor of the room, forming a wonderful pattern as these patterns lit up, and the world around them underwent certain wonderful changes.
Rowan was a little stunned to see the middle-aged man's movements, looking at some dreamlike scenes around him, and suddenly he was a little dazed, it was really magic!
At the same time, a huge pressure acted on Rowan's spiritual power.
If Rowan's spirit is a bubble, then the bubble is in the air for a moment just now, and he will not feel any pressure, then at this moment, the bubble seems to be placed in the water, and it bears the pressure of the water everywhere around, which is very uncomfortable, and as time goes by, the bubble seems to be sinking slowly, and the water pressure is getting bigger and bigger.
There is no time in the spiritual world, even after experiencing the edification of death, Rowan still feels the spiritual torture of this dark world, in the darkness, there is no up and down, no left and right, only pitch black, in addition to the accompanying pressure, he doesn't know how long it has passed, and he doesn't know how long this situation will be supported, if it weren't for his previous experience, he might have had a nervous breakdown.
As the pressure mounted, his spirit grew heavier and more uncomfortable, and soon reached the point where he could no longer bear it.
In the dream house, sweat gradually oozed from the forehead of Rowan's body, and as the light around him became more and more abundant, the sweat on Rowan's forehead became more and more, and soon the sweat became back, his face slowly turned pale, and the whole person began to slowly tremble.
