Chapter 43: The Night Watch

By the time Cannian had quietly grabbed Triste and told her about the Book of Sybil, most of the adventurers had fallen asleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info several sentinels stood in several corners, vigilantly watching the surroundings. I also keep in touch with each other from time to time.

The people present were all battle-hardened veterans, and there was no one who couldn't sleep because of the excitement of the day's battle. The toil of the day's fighting and looting made them snore. And the captives who were rescued were also well settled. It's just that in sleep, some people frown from time to time, talking in their dreams, and the black robe Bull hurt them too deeply. For this reason, they have been given nervous tranquilizers during the day, otherwise, I am afraid that someone will have terrible nightmares and scream to wake everyone up.

Martin spun a pencil in his hand in a bored manner, and glanced around alertly. Despite the fact that he is a human with poor night vision. But as a Starch Spencer druid, he had some way. The Starch Spencer Druids learned a lot from nocturnal predators.

Martin didn't like the errand of standing guard. The long-term stressful life made him most afraid of this kind of boring thing. He'd rather fight monsters with a knife than do such a boring job. But the team has taken good care of him. Because of his status as a spellcaster, he stood in the first post.

It's the same night sguard, and the taste is completely different. In general, the best ones are the first and last shifts of the station. If you stand on these two shifts, it is nothing more than a late sleep meeting or an early start. And the few shifts in the middle of the station, but they are about to split their sleep, and the taste is not good. The second shift and the penultimate shift are especially uncomfortable, one is just asleep for a while will be called, the other is after standing on the post, not long after sleeping will be called up again, wash and eat and start work. Considering the problem of the caster restoring spell slots. All casters are assigned to the first and last shifts.

"Why didn't you stay in the same class as Liucrexia...... In that case, at least we can talk to her......" Martin thought as he continued to turn his pen. Liukriza was placed on the last shift, and the time difference between her and his shift was a full 8 hours.

"I don't know how those night watchmen on the Great Wall pass the time. Martin thought to himself. After conquering half of the island nation in the west, the Norma Empire stopped expanding, and in order to defend against the barbarians, the black-haired and black-eyed Norma built a huge fortification, the Great Wall Line. The Great Wall stretches in the northern part of the island with a total length of 120 kilometers and a height of about 4.5 meters. Due to the conquest of the Kant and Tuman peoples, the night watchmen of the Kante tribe dressed in black still stand guard on the Great Wall, always guarding against the enemy's sneak attack.

As if some god had heard Martin's complaint about boredom, the earbuds rang noisily and then Barronde's powerful voice rang, "Boy, do you want to talk?"

If given a choice, Martin would certainly choose to talk to Lyukrisia rather than the bearded dwarf. But for now, to pass the boring time, I can only chat with Barend. The other people standing guard, Martin was even more unfamiliar.

"Okay......

After a few words of chatting, Martin felt a little speechless with Barende. His mind moved, and he remembered that Lyukrisia and Barend had studied together at the Arcane Academy, so he shifted the conversation to Lyukrixia.

"Well, I wonder, did Lyukrisia take Canion's last name, and what was her last name?"

It's not surprising that Martin and Liucrexia have been in contact for so many days, but they don't know Liucrexia's last name. On this multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic continent, the question of names is a mess. Surnames in some ethnic groups become common names in others. Some ethnic surnames come first, while others do the opposite. There are all kinds of strange customs and so on, and in the end, when foreigners call each other, they are all called casually. A name is a salutation, not the person's own name. For example, the sophisticated wanderer "Shark", his name is definitely not that, except that everyone calls him that. So, it's no surprise that Martin still doesn't know Lyukrixia's last name.

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the ......, apparently Barronde pondering whether to tell Martin about it. Eventually, however, he told Martin, "Since Norma's glory has waned, so have the great families." Even the Normaesque name became confusing. But there are still people who have kept the traditions of the past. Canian is nothing more than what he calls us among us. I don't know his correct name, but I can tell you for sure that his clan name is Julius. ”

"Julius!" Martin exclaimed. Originally, he just wanted to ask for the correct name of Liukrisya, but he couldn't imagine asking such an amazing clan name.

No matter how little Martin knew about the Norma names. But at least he knew what the clan name meant.

This clan name can be traced back to a long, long time ago. The people who bear this clan name proudly consider themselves to be descendants of the gods.

If the gods are not amazing enough. Then there are other things that could have surprised Martin so much. One of the ancestors of those who bear this clan name is Aeneas, the hero of Ilion who carried Excalibur to fight his way out of the siege and establish a new nation.

Not only did their glorious ancestors do this, but also the wise commander who created a new military system to make Norma the strongest nation and defeated the great invasion of the Tuman nation, and he was also a member of this family.

Not only that, but it was the person who had this clan name who ended the Norma Republic in one fell swoop and ushered in a new era, the era of the Empire. Although he wisely did not claim the title of emperor, in fact, everyone knows that the title of "Sa" is equivalent to the "king of kings" in the East, and it is equivalent to the "emperor" of the Far East.

In short, Martin never expected Canian to have such a glorious background. Thinking of his serf background, Martin couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

But after this shocking news, the rest of the chat was much more flat. It's nothing more than Martin asking Barend about Lyukrixia's interests. When he realized that Barende didn't know either, the conversation shifted to life at the Arcane Academy. Martin himself had never gone to school, and there was absolutely no possibility of going to school when he was a serf. Later, in the Starch Spencer Druid, he mainly studied one-on-one with his master, so he was quite interested in the life of the Arcane Academy. It's just a pity that what Barende tells is not entirely rosy. For example, the hard work of taking credits in the Arcane Academy, passing the fourth level or something. And the terrible food in the cafeteria. However, there is a lot of education in the Arcane Academy, which does make these academic spellcasters from academic classes more powerful than those wild ones. For example, they have a special course that teaches the characteristics of various monsters, as well as the tactics that should be used. In addition, the mages of the academy were often able to learn the classic spells, and the warlocks were able to choose the most useful magic. Aoshui Academy used to have a "Class 78", from which many world-famous wizards came out.

In particular, in addition to the teaching on the arcane. The teaching in other aspects of the Arcane Academy is not bad either. The Arcane Academy has a dedicated physical education class, although there have been tragedies of students dying in long-distance running. But the physical education class does greatly improve the physical fitness of those spellcasters, which is extremely useful for actual combat. For example, academic mages can often run far and then cast spells with precision. And some of the apprentices who come out of the mage tower are often out of breath in the same situation, unable to cast spells at all. For example, the academy also offers a fighting class for mages who are interested in the dangerous profession of adventure. The trained mages can't beat ogres or anything, but they don't have a problem killing a goblin with a staff or dagger. Even if you are close to an enemy warrior, you may be able to dodge the opponent's blade.

In addition to compulsory courses such as physical education, students are trained in skills such as jumping, balancing, and swimming. There are also countless electives that train students in a variety of skills, and there is even an elective that teaches students how to bargain, intimidate, and observe. It is said to be very popular with girls. Naturally, all kinds of language classes are also essential, from dragon to goblin languages, they are taught. There are even art and music classes for mages and warlocks to improve their artistic accomplishments.

Therefore, the quality of the students who come out of the Arcane Academy is well-rounded. Promoting the all-round development of students and cultivating qualified builders and reliable successors to the arcane cause is one of the purposes of the Arcane Academy.

However, such a good school naturally charges a lot of money. So the students not only come from all over the world, but also come in different ages. In fact, there are many middle-aged uncles in the school who have saved enough tuition fees through many adventures to go to the Arcane Academy for further study.

These things made Martin listen to them with relish, the only pity was that Barend didn't have much contact with Liucrexia at school (because one was a mage and the other was a warlock, and the curriculum was quite different), and Martin didn't hear anything about Liucrexia in school.

While talking, Martin and Barende did not forget their duties, and they were also closely monitoring the situation around them, fortunately, there was nothing suspicious.

Soon after, when it was time for the shift change, the sleeping players were aroused, yawning and stretching, and then they all got up to do their duty.

When returning to his sleeping bag, Martin peeked at Liukrisa's cute sleeping position, and really felt the urge to kiss secretly, but after all, he suppressed this irrational thought, and then got into the sleeping bag wearing a coat like all the team members.

Lying in his sleeping bag, Martin suddenly remembered an interesting incident when he was searching for the black-robed Bull during the day. At that time, he and Liukrisia walked into a room. Just as Martin was attracted by a stone statue and wanted to get closer to see it, Liukrisia opened her mouth to dissuade, "Be careful, it's a gargoyle!"

"How come, I'm also a tried and tested adventurer, and I can't tell the difference between a stone statue and a gargoyle?" Martin would never compromise in the face of the truth, even if it was Lyukrixia, even if she was kind enough to remind her out of concern. The two of them had a slight argument over this issue, but fortunately the experienced old paladin stopped them. After careful observation, Canian concluded, "I think it's a gargoyle who has been hit by a sixth-level arcane petrification."

...... Faced with this fact, both Martin and Liukriza were speechless.

But the old paladin may be right, the black-robed Bull is a pervert who likes to turn creatures into stone statues. They used the scroll to free the female captive who had been turned into a stone statue. Considering the high price of the scroll, they didn't try the gargoyle's statue as well. However, when Martin approached, and even knocked twice on the stone statue, the stone statue really did not move, and attacked Martin.

Though there was a lot of thought for a while, at last the drowsiness overwhelmed everything, and Martin fell asleep groggily and wished he didn't snoreβ€”he feared that it would make a bad impression on Liucretia, who stood last shift in the morning.

Because of the troubles of certain things. The word count of this update is relatively small, sorry.

Obviously, I saw more than one person mentioning my novel at the Longkong temporary station, and I was greatly encouraged...... Well, the number of collections has also increased a lot......

Considering that more than one person is urging me to update Mask of the Wicked. I'm reading Nietzsche's book and hoping to find something out of it that will inspire me......
