Chapter 9: The Whispering Forest
After sleeping for a day and a night, Li Xun was woken up by hunger, although he still wanted to sleep, but his convulsive stomach repeatedly reminded the owner of his existence. Li Xun shook his head, regained his consciousness, pressed his aching stomach, turned over and sat up, his nose smelled very sour. For a while, Li Xun didn't know whether he was going to fill his stomach first or to wash up first.
Li Xun called the waiter and ordered him to hurry up and bring the sumniest meal, and he also needed to take a hot bath. After a short time, the waiter brought a steaming, sumptuous and exquisite food, and when Li Xun ate the sea, the two waiters carried a large round bucket into the bathroom, poured hot water and left. Satisfied with eating, Li Xun held his stomach, stripped off his clothes and plunged into the bathtub, letting the hot water make his skin red, and then began to hum a little song to clean. Although the mage's robe has a constant cleansing technique, it can only remove dust, which can be more relieving and refreshing than a hot bath. After taking a bath, Li Xun, who felt light and fluttering, asked the waiter to clean everything and pay the fee, so he lay on the sofa beautifully, clicked on the personal attribute panel, and inspected everything about himself like a monarch of a country.

Looking at the long list of skills, Li Xun really wanted to sing a song to express the joy that filled his chest. Calm, calm, he is a person who wants to become a big man in the future, and he must not lose his face. repeatedly admonished himself, but seeing that there were 7 more zero-level spells and 6 first-level spells, Li Xun still couldn't help but smile. In addition to these, Li Xun checked the broken first-level mage tower again, and there were indeed 13 more spells in it, if he had a subordinate of the soul connection in the future, wouldn't he be able to learn it directly? The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, Li Xun's consciousness fluctuated too violently, and he actually bounced out of his soul.
From today on, you can take off the hat of a pseudo-mage, and you have become a real double mage!
Li Xun lay on the sofa and flicked his fingers slightly, and a light cluster formed above his body, emitting a soft white light, illuminating the room. Li Xun tapped a little bit at the book spread out on the table, the book closed suddenly, and slowly floated over, falling on Li Xun's chest. "Light Technique" and "Mage's Hand", everything is so natural, just like the 4 spells that I already mastered, instant + silent + free material. It seems that as long as the spells of this world that you have mastered, they will be systematized and standardized.
To tell the truth, although the magic in Hero Invincible is good, it is still far inferior to the spells in the new world in terms of diversity and comprehensiveness, if there is no instantaneous + silent hair + material-free characteristics, it is simply a rag, but in the later high-level spells, "Doomsday Judgment", "Magic Immunity", "Resurrection", "Domination Master", "Summoning Phoenix" In the new world, you can't study it for 180 years at your own half-baked level, and that's when the hero's invincible magic shines.
Li Xun clasped his hands together and thanked God. Li Xun feels that he is about to become a god, and it is necessary to set up a "God Sect", and only believe in God and a god!
Li Xun jumped up from the sofa with a carp, enough, with these, everything is enough, his own cemetery castle is hopeful! Blood axe, you wait for me, I'm coming!
Just go, a life without ties is good.
Li Xun quit the room at the Pearl Tears Hotel and paid the fee, and the 300 gold coins in his hand were only less than 50 gold coins for a while.
Li Xun once again visited Sir Edward in the Council Hall, and revealed his intention to go to Naya City to provide magical support for the extermination of the Blood Axe Thieves. Sir Edward was suspicious and praised Master Li Xun's dedication to the country, until Li Xun revealed that the reason why he was so active was because the Astelli Blood Axe had killed his immediate family members during the local raids, and Sir Edward suddenly realized that he immediately issued a certificate to Master Li Xun, and assigned 10 cavalry to escort Master Li Xun's carriage to Naya City.
Li Xun took the time to go to the library to change a batch of books, and the carriage he rode set off under the escort of 10 cavalrymen. Li Xun doesn't care about everything on the road, just reading books in the car, not to mention, after reading dozens of books, Li Xun is really a little addicted, and he can't help but open the book and look at it twice whenever he has free time, which is really a bit like returning to the old days of being a bookworm.
The 10 escort cavalry were led by the Hank knight, this Hank knight was also a very funny person, and he became familiar with the mage when he camped in the field for the first time, and Li Xun also put aside the book for the time being, and concentrated on asking him about some of the situation in Naya City.
Naya City, the closest city to the Whispering Forest in the northwest of the Duchy of Novis, has a population of less than 150,000, there is no mage guild in the city, the city lord is the Earl of Rheinhawke, with less than 2,000 city guards and 70 knights, the leader of the knights, Dalas, is a high-ranking knight of level 11.
After 11 days of travel, we finally arrived in Naya City.
Li Xun couldn't help but start to worry, the traffic in this era is too backward! The road is rugged and difficult to walk, if he goes out like this every time, all the time can be spent on the road! I have the opportunity to use some brains on the mount!
With the negotiation of Hank Knight, Li Xun and his party easily entered Naya City. Li Xun was not stingy, took out 20 gold coins and invited Knight Hank and his party to go to the bar for a drink, and after washing up in the hotel, he looked at the noon sky, and hurriedly went straight to the conference hall.
Although Li Xun has the status of a mage, it is still difficult for a low-level mage to meet the lord of Naya City, Count Rhinehawk, so Li Xun only plans to meet with the archon of Naya City to communicate and set the tone for future actions.
The consul of Naya City was Sir Mohan, and after reading the certificate, he was also very enthusiastic and explained to the mage the difficulties of Naya City.
Although the Blood Axe Thieves never invaded the suburbs of Naya City, they frequently looted the manor villages and towns near the Whispering Forest, the city lord Earl Rhinehawk had ordered 800 city guards, and gathered the private soldiers of the major lords who had been harassed by the thieves in the local area, and also made up a combined force of 3,000 people, under the command of the Great Lord Sir Hanwick, and began to enter the mountains to exterminate the Blood Axe Thieves, but unfortunately they were ambushed, and the thieves were introduced into a valley, and the team broke up, and finally escaped from the Whispering Forest of less than 1200 people, and since then there is nothing to be done about the thieves, and the lords of all sizes have to hide in their castles to defend it, allowing bandits to wreak havoc in the local area.
The saddest thing is that Sir Hanwick, who has just been angrily reprimanded by the Earl of Rheinhawk for his defeat, and in the blink of an eye, even his most beloved youngest son has been taken captive by the Bloodaxe Thieves.
After negotiating with the thieves to redeem them, Sir Hanwick is now in Naya City, visiting the authorities every day, agitating for another army to be organized to exterminate the Bloodaxe Thieves, much to the headache of the consul Sir Mohan. The last dispatch of 800 city guards only brought back 300 people, which has already made the defense of Naya City insufficient, and a large amount of money has been spent on personnel pensions, and it is impossible to mobilize troops in the short term.
Li Xun listened to Sir Mohan's complaint of his suffering, and immediately understood that he was afraid that the mage would also join the ranks of agitating troops, so he put all the difficulties out in advance to gag his mouth.
Li Xun smiled and told Sir Mohan that he absolutely understood the current difficulties of Naya City, and he would enter the Whispering Forest in advance, observe the dynamics of the Blood Axe Thieves Group, and then ask Naya City to send troops if there was a suitable opportunity. Sir Mohan was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, and took out 200 gold coins as the mage's employment fee.
Li Xun did not shirk, inquired about Sir Hanwick's address, and went directly to the hotel to visit Sir Hanwick after leaving the council room.
Sir Hanwick, who was at a loss in the hotel, received the mage strangely, and when he heard that the mage was also going to seek revenge on the blood axe thieves, his heart that had just been silent became active again, and he hurriedly asked the mage to rescue his youngest son, and directly took out 1000 gold coins as a thank you gift, saying that no matter what the result is, as long as the mage is willing to try. If you are really lucky, you are willing to give another 1,000 gold coins afterwards. Li Xun took the gold coin and told him not to do useless work in Naya City, return to his territory, contact the lords, gather soldiers, and wait for news from the mage. The mage will find a way to infiltrate the lair of the Bloodaxe Thieves and scout for information in an attempt to rescue the Jazz Boy.
After the two sides met, they began to act. Li Xun had an extra 1,200 gold coins in his arms, and he was confident enough to buy a lot in Naya City. You are about to enter the forest to fight in the field, and the necessary equipment needs to be prepared. Under the guidance of the butler recommended by Sir Hanwick, Li Xun procured a small tent, a small dagger, a rain cloak, deerskin boots, sturdy linen clothes, mosquito-repellent herbs, a small arm-armed crossbow that could be folded, a small barrel of wine, various spices and food, and finally stuffed the dimensional bag to the brim.
Li Xun joined Sir Hanwick, first went to his domain, rested in the manor for the night, and then accompanied by the butler to the village of Big Rock, the closest village to the Whispering Forest, where the butler would stay and wait for news from the mage.
At dawn, Li Xun entered the Whispering Forest alone.
