The night was deep and cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are forests everywhere, dozens of miles uninhabited, a hook of waning moon hangs in the sky, and the light sprinkled is faint, like milk diluted by a lot of water.

The faint light reflects the ups and downs of the mountain peaks in the distance, there are many tents set up on the mountainside, piles of bonfires are lit, there are knights standing on the high place on guard, the glowing tents are like quiet stars, it is very lively when you look close, and it is very lonely when you look at it from afar.

"It's a little cold outside, so you can get in the carriage and sit down."

Shiryl came to Anyang with a sword.

An Yang raised his head, his eyes were faintly shining in the fire, and he waved his hand and said, "No need." ”

Shiryl said no more.

An Yang Yuguang occasionally glanced at the people gathered in the distance.

There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between the gifted and the apprentice.

Whether it is from the Capital Academy or directly admitted by the Silent Tower, such a situation has formed.

As a result, the more than 100 people were divided into many large and small groups, but they were not strictly professional, and some were even in several groups at the same time. Anyang thinks that this is probably similar to the QQ group in the real world, some people are in a group with his fellow countrymen, and at the same time they are in a group with his classmates and friends, but these groups can involve vital interests.

This should be what the Tower of Silence would be happy to see.

Regardless of their qualifications, the apprentices have at least access to the knowledge of the Mystic before the gifted ones, and now they have more power than they do.

The purpose of such a small group is that the apprentices provide knowledge and protection to the talents, and the talents serve the trainees, such as doing chores or helping with the relationship with the mercenary group, which can make the trainees' lives better. No matter who is on both sides, the more you give, the more you will undoubtedly receive.

It is equivalent to an equivalent exchange.

An Yang could vaguely guess that the Silent Tower and even the entire Mystic World were such a mode of getting along.

And now it is undoubtedly possible to familiarize everyone with the equivalent exchange of interests in advance, and at the same time, it can also allow the gifted to come into contact with some mystical knowledge through the apprentice in advance, so that they will not be half-understood when entering the Tower of Silence, which can save a lot of time for the knowledge popularization of the Tower of Silence, which is just in line with the form and style of the mystic who values time very much!

As more and more casualties along the way, some gifted people from aristocratic backgrounds also accepted this model, and it was also the last step they took to let go of their arrogance.

During this time, Flynn never appeared in public, as if naturally, this situation was contributed!

He never cared about these things, but his attitude was quite conniving. Like anything else that delayed the trip, he would definitely ask Tris, but if it was a matter between the gifted and the apprentice, he would ignore it, obviously with the intention of letting them grow up along the way.

Of course, there are some people who are not involved in these things, and most of these people are people who have some confidence in their own strength, or who are proud of their character, or who are not good at contacting people.

The most special thing is the four people in Anyang.

They are an impregnable small group in their own right, and they wield great power, and they are all first-class talents, and the rest of them cannot be divided or inserted between them.

Nor do they need to unite with others.

The only exception is Lydia, because Anyang has looked for her several times these days, and has also shown the intimacy between the two, so in the hearts of many people, Lydia has been the fifth person in Anyang's foursome by default, and what is more interesting is that many people are difficult to confront Anyang four, so they began to turn their attention to Lydia.

Is it just Lydia's seriousness......

Another three days passed.

In the past few days, the small group has begun to become more compact and pure, and the way of Teris and the mercenary group has also changed, giving everyone the possibility to fight for themselves.

At the same time, disputes inevitably arise.

For example, food and drink are no longer distributed evenly according to the number of people, but are directly distributed to the leaders of each regiment, and the exact amount of food and drink depends entirely on the open and covert battles of various means, such as accommodation.

Those who are proud or don't like to interact with people have no choice but to find a group to join.

The rest of those who are still alone have some strength.

Or maybe it has a good relationship with the mercenary group......

"Gurgling ......"

The wooden wheels gurgled as they rolled on the ground, the horses snorted from time to time, and the narrower and narrower roads and bumps along the way made the carriage more and more difficult.

"My lord," said Martin, "I heard Triss say that in the back there will be more and more people and the road will be more and more deviant from the main road, and we may have to change to a horse-drawn carriage." ”

"You can deal with this matter."

"Yes, sir."

"Something doesn't seem right with the mercenary group today."

"Yes, this has something to do with Lord Flynn's gathering of all the members of the mercenary group to talk yesterday......" Speaking of this, Martin suddenly lowered his voice, approached the carriage and said, "I heard Lord Triss say that Lord Flynn suddenly lifted some restrictions on the mercenary group!" ”

"Some restrictions lifted?"

An Yang frowned.

Martin nodded and continued: "Yes, Lord Flynn used to stipulate that the knights of the mercenary group should not have more contact with everyone, but the other day he told them that if they befriend someone, when this person becomes a real mystic in the Silent Tower, they can give them the power of the Great Knight, and even recruit them into the Silent Tower and let them be the guardian knights of the Mysteries!" ”

"That's the case, no wonder!"

A trace of doubt flashed in An Yang's eyes.

Does Flynn want to put another line between the mercenary group and the others? Does he want to make the competition more intense to choose the strongest, or is it just a tradition or a casual one?

What a way to hurt eggs!

Flynn's words have caused many mercenaries to come to them today, but Anyang has always maintained a lukewarm attitude, except for Tris, who does not approach anyone.

He didn't need anyone's help.

Tris is also strong enough.

And he also has his pride, even if this world has to play the role of a trainee for the sake of knowledge and unique power, it is indeed a bit of a loss to be in the company of these people.

An afternoon passed......

The mercenary group has a noticeably closer relationship with the people.

After all, this is not a one-way designation, but a two-way choice, and when everyone is initially surprised and excited by the knight's approach to them, they quickly realize that things are not simple.

Neither side is stupid!

The knights need to find someone who is not difficult to approach, who has a certain amount of talent, and who ensures that their role in him is not icing on the cake but a charcoal in the snow, so that they will be remembered and appreciated. And everyone also needs a knight who suits their own appetite and can protect themselves and take care of themselves on the road.

The relationship between the mysterious man and the temporary guardian knight in the future!

This series of changes in group sexual relations, the mutual choice between the knights and the people, and the many dirty deals that broke out, especially since most of the nobles indulged themselves.

And the children of commoners can't stand the temptation!

Anyway, after about three days, it was already difficult to see the lone wanderer when Anyang left the carriage, and generally the apprentices would be hugged from front to back, and most of the talented people would go with the knights.

Of course, there are also talented people who are not chosen by the knights.

Their task is to champion others......

Anyang's small group of four people is still unshakable, and Lydia has not had much contact with other people, but no one dares to treat her unfairly with the strong force of the four people in Anyang.

ConocoPhillips had wanted to rely on him, but it turned out that the path was not going to work, and she had recently gotten closer to the research maniacs of the Capital Academy. The trainee's strength and potential were very good, and he lived in the same building as Anyang at that time. Of course, she wasn't the only one who got close to the research maniac.

Anyang's former neighbors are also living well.

Although Winnie is mentally deficient, she doesn't have many seizures, mainly because many gifted people don't know that Winnie has a second personality that is full of aggression and always wants to destroy the world. In addition to all this, in fact, Winnie's combat effectiveness can also be among the best among the apprentices, so she is supported by many people.

It's just that every time she sets up a tent, she has to stay away from everyone, and no one dares to live with her, so she is quite comfortable alone. But no one knows if she's at ease.

This is still a very kind girl in her bones.

Life in Anyang has not changed from before.

When he was in the carriage, he practiced, meditated, and read books, and he read books on arcane magic and spell systems, and he rarely got out of the carriage except for when he would appear in front of everyone during meals or overnight stays.

Of course, he would occasionally come down for a walk, or to see Lydia.

When the convoy is attacked, it will also come out to see the excitement.

Martin purchased a smaller carriage at the final checkpoint into the province of Achillan, which was discarded.

Sure enough, once you entered the province of Achelan, the road immediately narrowed, and the previous carriage could not go at all. At the same time, the road has become deserted, there are few pedestrians around, and even the thieves who accompanied the road are gone, and it always feels like walking on some undeveloped land.

"It's even more barren than the backwoods of the South!"

An Yang sighed.

Sheryl quickly pursed her lips and continued, "I've often heard of Achelan Province in the past, it's a place full of legends, and it seems that there really are some monsters. ”

Anyang smiled.

In the folklore of this world, the province of Achillan is probably similar to Shennongjia, or the place where vampires originated in European legends, and the demon mountain area in ancient Chinese legends. There are also quite a few knightly novels or rumors in Ain's memory that mention the province of Achelan, but most of them are related to monsters.

Before, Anyang thought it was just a casual rumor......

Martin said from the side of the car: "In fact, we are not aboriginal people in the land of the Federation, everyone has heard of it, right? ”

Shiryl nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

"I also realized that this is actually true, there used to be many other races living here, but after the first lords of the Federation came here with the armies of the nobles, they took advantage of their living space. Now, with the exception of the fierce Ghost Slaves, who retreated to the Weeping Forest to confront the Federation, most of the others are in Achelan, because they have a hatred for people and often sneak up on humans, resulting in this place being almost uninhabited. ”

"But why haven't we heard of it before?"

"I don't know how many years ago, people have long forgotten, and there have always been mysteries in the Silent Tower guarding the Achillan Province, and the Federation doesn't need to care, and it probably doesn't dare to care."

Shiryl scanned the surroundings and asked, "So the Federation just let such a large area of land be occupied by them?" ”

"Nor can it be said that it is not they who occupy this land, but the Tower of Silence. I don't know why the Tower of Silence left them alone, but I only know that they hate mystical ones the most, and Tris says that every year they are attacked by the Gifted and Apprentices who pass by, and there are also Ghost Slaves! ”

"Isn't the ghost slave in the south?!"

"Most of them are in the south, and there are also here, and some people say that the slaves here were specially sent by the mysteries in the south to intercept the new blood of the Silent Tower, I don't know the details."

"I see."

These days, because Martin has been in charge of contacting Tris, he has learned a lot of things, and he is responsible for popularizing a lot of knowledge with the three of them every day that he didn't know before and couldn't see in books.

Everything is not much different from what Martin said.

On the second day of entering the province of Achelan, there was almost no sign of humanity, as if it were nominally part of the Commonwealth, and there was only one broken path.

Forest, endless forest!

Leaf-ridden, overgrown roads lead to unknown places, tall and leafy trees sometimes even shade the sun, and zombie movies can be played in broad daylight!

This also causes trouble for the vigilance of the mercenary group!

An Yang could clearly feel that the vigilance of Tris and all the mercenaries had increased a lot, as if he was worried about a group of enemies suddenly swooping out of the bushes, and this was exactly what happened.

It's only the third day of entering the province of Achelan.

The convoy walked slowly and leisurely along the road, which was unusually narrow, lined with dense woods and bushes, and two sloping slopes.

A group of ghostly minions lurked silently in the dense forest, and they even washed their bodies and masked their bodies with wet dirt until they delivered the deadliest blow to the convoy!

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar! ……”

The roar of the slaves was everywhere.

In the jungle on both sides, the jungle on both sides is constantly rushing out of the ghost slave class that is comparable to the size of a tiger, and the speed is faster than that of a war horse!

They chose a path without cover, the trainee's fragile body was simply vulnerable, and there was no place to hide from the spell. They chose the most exhausting afternoon of the mercenary group, and the first round of attacks was the location of the academic aristocratic talents, which happened to be the most vulnerable!

Immediately hit the mercenary group by surprise!

"Ah, help!"

"Kill all these brutes for me!"

"Monsters, so many monsters!"

"Roar!"

……

Shouts of killing, shouting, and roaring rang out.

The children of the nobles had no power to resist in the face of the fierce slave troops, and soon a large number of people were killed and wounded, and the smell of blood gradually spread, and many people ran helplessly, shouting loudly.

The mercenary group will soon be fighting with the slaves!
