Chapter 687: Mahan's Observations
Archmage Gandhi had consulted a number of texts on the county of Van Shee and had gained some knowledge of the changes there in a dozen correspondence – and had even obtained a few images and pictures through the channels of spells.
But this is still far from the real understanding, for him, the so-called "seeing is believing" refers to coming to a certain place in person, and then observing with the naked eye, using magic to detect, using mental power to perceive, and even disguised as a civilian or animal to explore there, in order to reach a tangible conclusion.
Of course, his physical condition is in such a mess at the moment, and some things can't be done so carefully, but he has to go to Van Shee County "in person" to make a conclusion.
Mahan, the second disciple of the Grand Master, set foot on the land of Van Shee County in this context.
It is said that the county of Vansey was ravaged by war for a month, during which the Berans were killed and pillaged, and the nobles of Vansey also rebelled.
In Mahan's imagination, he should have seen the corpses on the side of the road, the mass graves, the ruined walls, the charred houses......
But along the way, he didn't see a few such scenes.
On his way down the river from Brandon, he met many paddle boats coming and going, and on several occasions he met merchants and sailors from Vansheshire and even Schönbrunn, and found them all smiling.
When it comes to Lomin, most people are either excited or proud.
It is no wonder, after all, that merchants always seize the opportunity to make war profits.
Since their interests have not been damaged much, it is not surprising that they are proud of Luo Ming, no matter what, he is a strong man who has repelled nearly 10,000 Belan troops.
That's what Mahan thought at first.
When he arrived in Van Shei, he did not continue to take the passenger boat along the newly dug canal all the way to the depths of Schönbrunn territory, but disembarked early and walked the last leg of the road with his feet to see it all with his own eyes.
He didn't see much of the scars of the war...... In its place, there is a scene of labor in full swing.
Some are ploughing or sowing seeds in the fields, some are cutting wood, some are building brick walls, and some are forging a new road.
Many officials were on the move, calling or overseeing, imposing rewards and punishments, and reading orders.
After some observation, Mahan could confirm that although they were not the most conscientious and capable, among all the officials he had met, they were on average middle and upper-class, and some could even be said to be excellent.
Even the most vulgar petty official in his eyes has a conversation close to that of a decent person, and a very good insight for ordinary people - he is literate, knows how to count, and can count!
When Mahan finally came to the territory of Schönbrunn Territory, he happened to sense a wave of spell fluctuations blowing through his body.
Of course, this trip is more secretive, and he has props on his body that can deal with ordinary spell detection, and this level of scanning has not been able to make him exposed.
But he still subconsciously reached for his waist, almost pulling out his weapon, and looked left and right a few times, for fear that the enemy would suddenly appear.
It wasn't until he remembered what Luo Ming had said before, "I found a core magic weapon, and installing it on the Demon Suppression Tower can expand the scanning area" that he was relieved.
But it's still a bit surprising to be so far away.
"Shhh...... Scanning from such a distance?" Mahan looked in the direction of Mount Carlo, and after estimating the distance, he couldn't help but be amazed.
