Chapter 3 Departure
The teacher's excited Cassius pushed the door open, and there weren't many things in the world that could make him give up the food he was about to get
Oh, the teacher in Cassius's room hadn't taken off his dusty outfit yet, and he turned around to see a smile on his student's slightly tired face
Ten years had made the man look even more vicissitudes, and he reached out to his students: it seems that we have not seen each other for a long time
The last time the teacher came back was two years ago
Yes, now that I think about it, when I left that day, it was like what had just happened yesterday, and Reguno said with emotion
At this time, Cassius took out a parchment scroll from his coat pocket: "Teacher, look at me, I have obtained the qualification of the five-ring mage
Yes, I'm younger than the teacher and your sister Elena
After receiving the praise, Cassius grinned, just like the kid he had been ten years ago
Okay, let's have a good chat now, Reguno shouted outside the door, Colin will prepare the meal immediately
At the dinner table, the two masters and apprentices talked for a long time, and in the past two years, Reguno had seen and experienced outside, and Cassius had listened very attentively
So the teacher still didn't find Owen this time, Cassius said disappointedly
It's true that I went out this time and went home empty-handed, like the previous two times, and Regunor felt a little helpless, but he still tried to comfort Cassius, but I was sure that Owen was still alive in this world
Yes, I also think so, this kid's vitality is more tenacious than a cockroach, he will never die so easily, Cassius heard the teacher's words and said with certainty
In fact, there is another very important thing when I come back this time, and Regunor's expression becomes solemn
Hearing the teacher say this, Cassius's heart chuckled, and he didn't ask the teacher what was important, because he knew that the teacher would definitely finish the following words
However, Regunor did not directly explain the important matter, he went around in circles: Cassius, in fact, have you ever complained about me, although I am nominally your teacher, but in fact I have not taught you how to teach your magic, and most of your current achievements are realized by yourself, which I am very incompetent for the title of 'teacher'
How could it be, the teacher Cassius immediately stood up and said to Regunor seriously, you have a lot of things to do, you are very busy, it is normal to not take care of me, how can I complain about the teacher, besides, teacher, you told me that the proverb of the real country is called, 'It is better to teach others how to fish than to give fish to others', and the teacher has taught me how to comprehend magic myself, which is much more profound than the direct teaching in the classroom
Reguno smiled and nodded, and after a while he said, "I'm coming back now to tell you that you're leaving tomorrow."
Departure, Cassius was a little confused, where I was going
Go and grind
The training is good, this time the teacher wants me to go to which ice field to hone, it turned out to be just a grind, Cassius thought that the teacher was talking about something particularly important, the grind he said was actually the wilderness survival exercise, in the past few years, he came to the ice field alone to hone many times, at the beginning, the shortage of food and the ferocity of the wild monster really made this unborn child suffer, the harsh living environment in the far north wilderness made this helpless little boy howl and cry, but after going through the difficult stage of everything, Cassius slowly realized that it was actually a very interesting thing to go to the wilderness to grind, not only because of the actual battle with the wild monstersGreatly improving his level of magic - which he could not learn in the academy, more importantly, he could get as much food as he wanted by hunting, which was much more interesting than the suffocation of having to implement rationing and limited supply in the city, and then Cassius had fallen in love with going out into the wild for survival training, thinking about those foods, the meat of the human-faced snow ape was the most unpalatable, like chewing wax, and the best thing to eat was the venison, but the place where the deer lived was closest to the seat of the Silver Mountain had to go to the silverwind taiga at the junction with the Celestian Plains, and that forest was Cassius's favorite place to go in recent years, because of the deerHowever, the number of deer there was still too small, and considering the herd of deer in the mountains of the Slavian plain to the east of the forest, Cassius swallowed greedily...... No, Cassius never ran there, not because he didn't have the strength, but because it was the territory of the barbarians, and the deer running around there were not just to hunt, because you don't know which deer was the private property of the barbarians, although Cassius could hardly resist the temptation of food, but in the face of an international conflict between the Snowy Federation and the barbarians, he could still resist this temptation
No, not to any of the ice fields in the Snowy Federation, Regunor's words pulled Cassius's mind back from the deer herd of the Slavian Plains, Cassius is going to leave the Far North and go south
What does the teacher mean......
It is to ask you to leave the Snowy Federation and travel among the southern countries to start the real tempering of your life, and Reguno deliberately accentuated the tone of the real two words
Cassius's face sank: compared to the monsters in the wilderness, the hearts of the people in the south were too terrible, and he remembered the tragedy of eleven years ago when his village was destroyed and his parents were killed in one night
That's what it really means for you to participate in the practice, not to mention the fact that Reguno paused and said, Didn't you have a ten-year covenant with your partners?
yes, I almost forgot about it, and Cassius suddenly realized
So it's time to go back to your hometown, the village of Serre in the Kingdom of Pole, and if Owen hadn't died, he would have returned to that village on the appointed day, well, and so would your brother
Really, Ray also goes to Cassius, excitedly shouting about this brother, he hasn't seen him for ten years, and every time he asks Regunor about his brother, his teacher always laughs and tells him that Ray learns from a very good teacher
One more thing, you have to be careful, Regunor said this with a very serious expression, and in recent months, there have been necromancer attacks all over the Brilliant Continent
Necromancer Cassius was shocked in his heart, I remember that the history books said that after the end of the Demon War, in view of the contribution of the Undead Legion in the war, the leaders of the various races reached an agreement with the Lich King Kanovan that the clans would no longer encircle and suppress the necromancers, but only limited the activities of the necromancers on the Isle of Death, and they were not allowed to set foot on the three continents of Olopa for half a step
This is exactly what I am struggling with, Reguno said, I heard the news, the Central Church has sent people to the Isle of Death to negotiate with the Lich King Canovin, but the Lich King said that these necromancers who have come to the mainland to make waves are all rebellious parties who have rebelled against him on the Isle of Death not long ago, and he has no effect on the behavior of the necromancers who have fled to the mainland
What rebellion has happened on the island of death
The intelligence says so, but no one has seen it, and it cannot be ruled out that it was a lie made up by the Lich King himself to shirk his responsibility, and this is exactly what I want you to investigate
Necromancer, that's no problem, Cassius showed an eager expression
You have to keep in mind that your opponent may not only be the necromancer, Regunor reminded his students, the Templars are also investigating this matter, your activities may overlap with the Templars, or you may meet two paladins in the village of Serre back then, although ten years have changed a person's appearance a lot, but it is not excluded that you will be recognized quickly, don't forget that Owen met one of those two paladins in the first place
I knew that my teacher, Cassius, sincerely accepted the teachings of my teacher, and then he thought about it and asked, "Then teacher, don't you go south with me?"
Breguno waved his hand, I will stay in the Snowy Federation for a long time when I come back this time, because there is a very important matter for me to do
Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door and a commotion outside the door
What's going on outside Colin Regunor shouts out to his goblin slave
Colin walked in and said to Reguno: "Report to my master, Baron Samorim has come, and say that you must see your master."
Oh my God, Reguno was shocked, Colin and Cassius, you guys stop me first...... Or maybe I'm not there
After saying that, Reguno hurriedly cast a spatial teleportation magic and slipped away from Cassius and Colin
What the hell is this Baron Samorim who could make the dignified First Ring Mage so afraid?
It turned out that when Regunor forged a false aristocratic household registration for Owen, he could be used to achieve this Baron Samorim, although he was a nobleman at that time, Baron Samorim was poor, and when Regunor suddenly appeared in front of him with a large amount of money, he solved his family's financial difficulties and allowed him to live a luxurious life for more than two years, and what he wanted to do was just fictionalize the fact that Owen was his youngest child, but after Owen's accident, the Templar Order and the Kingdom of Cilot, where the city-state of Kashdova was located, launched a review of him, and Baron Samorim was frightened to the point that he was scattered, and then Reguno's appearance rescued him and his family, and placed him in the Snowy Federation, although RegunorThe treasure given to him was enough to buy his small city-state and dilapidated castle more than ten times, but Baron Samorim still thought that it was Regunor who had caused him nothing, so he came to Regunor every now and then to make trouble, which was nothing more than extorting money, Rao Reguno's family was rich, and he couldn't stand this kind of scoundrel-style endless blackmail, so that later Regunor left the Snowy Federation and traveled for a long time, half of the reason was to find Owen, and the other half was to avoid this annoying Baron Samorim
Because Regunor was going to travel for a long time, he couldn't take care of the trivial matters in the core of power, so he simply resigned from the post of head of the research department, but he was not irresponsibly throwing things away, he and Akseelina jointly recommended an outstanding cadre of the research department to serve as the new head of the research department, this new minister is named Savikoev, he is a diamond alchemist, and is also the grandfather of the red-haired young man Lyle, this Savikoev is the first person to put forward the theory of combining the enormity and intelligence of magic dolls, and the real yàn is carried out in concrete operation
In the past ten years, there have been three major personnel changes in the power core of the Snowy Federation, in addition to the above one, the other two things are: the former vice president, who is also the oldest in the original power core, Mokogani, announced his retirement, and he was replaced by the former Minister of War Wako Danli, who made outstanding contributions in the war with the Crusaders;
Early the next morning, Cassius packed his bags and went out to prepare for his departure, and when he came to the gate to see him off, only Alena and Colin Reguno did not show up because they were trying to hide from the rogue baron
Cassius: This is Teacher Regunor handed over the purple spar pendant to Cassius, Teacher Regunor said that Owen also has the same thing on him, and if it resonates, it means that Owen is nearby
Thank you, Elena sister Cassius took the purple spar pendant and hung it around her neck
It doesn't matter, you have to take care of yourself, Elena showed a sweet smile, although ten years have passed, but Elena does not seem to have aged because of this, she is still so young and beautiful, I sent it here, there are a lot of things waiting for me to do in the research department, Elena is now a cadre in the research department, and now Elena has obtained the qualification of the three-ring mage, and meets the minimum requirements for entering the subordinate departments of the power core to serve as a cadre, in fact, this is also a deliberate arrangement by Regunor, he needs someone to monitor the old fox for him when he leaves, the headmaster Kasenlov's every move
Master Cassius, your carriage and coiled Colin handed over to Cassius with a bulging cloth bag, and the money and treasures in the bag were enough for him to buy a small prince, and behind Colin was what he called the carriage - strictly speaking, it was not a carriage at all, because it was not the horses that were responsible for the traction, but two magic dolls, which should be called puppet carts, but after passing through the Valley of Sin, they had to change into horses adapted to the warm climate of the south
Goodbye, Cassius sat in the carriage (puppet cart), turned around and waved goodbye to Elena and Colin
Cassius drove the carriage (doll cart) for half an hour, and it should have been two kilometers away from the Silver Mountain Seat
Suddenly, Cassius felt an unusual fluctuation in the magical elements around him, he smelled a dangerous breath, time did not allow him to chant the incantation, opened the ice shield, Cassius grabbed the cloth bag full of coils, jumped out of the carriage (doll cart), and rolled on the spot
rumble
Just as Cassius left the carriage (puppet cart), a huge fireball smashed into the carriage (puppet cart), burning the magic puppet and the wooden body into a fire
Who Cassius asked loudly
There was a three-ring mage present just now, we can't do it, see who can save you now, the fat man at this time, five figures came out from the front, and the person who walked in the middle said viciously
Lyle, why are you doing this, Cassius looked at the person in front of him in a little surprise, yes, he was the grandson of the new head of the research department, Savikoev, the red-haired young man, Lyle, and yesterday Cassius rescued him from the giant fist of the giant puppet
Lyle showed a hideous sneer, and the four young men beside him also stared at Cassius arrogantly, at this time, Cassius noticed that Lyle was holding a magic wand with a special style, which was not made of the usual oak wood, but made of extremely fire-resistant Aquarius trees, with a red crystal ball at the top, and the fire element constantly surrounded the crystal ball
The Vulcan Staff Cassius recognized at a glance as a magic wand, which could greatly enhance the fire magic cast by the user, and the fireball that a seven-ring mage like Lyle had just cast was at least as powerful as a four-ring mage.
