Chapter 18: The Exodus
After confirming that Knight Egger was out of danger, the crowd gradually dispersed, and it was a night that was destined to cause many people to lose sleep.
Carouston Border.
"Gentleman's Steel" Hillen sat beside the campfire in a deep voice, the fire was no longer open flame, and there was only a red-hot pile of charcoal, and the night was very deep, and there was a snoring sound one after another all around.
The huge pillar of prayer light in the east at night, which he was familiar with, was a high-level water magic "prayer".
There was a sound of footsteps, and a scout cavalry came over, squatted down, and whispered to Helen: "Egger is not dead, a high-level water magician named Li Xuan, used four magics, healing, prayer, luck and rejoicing, after waking up Egger, he pulled out the arrow and cast six healing spells, and finally Egger survived, do our people need to do it?"
Hiren looked at the fire that was about to be extinguished, picked up a large handful of thin branches from his hand, threw them on, and the heat quickly ignited the fine wood, and a string of flames rose into the sky.
Hillen looked at the bonfire that was burning again in front of him and said to the scout cavalry, "You see, the bonfire that has not been extinguished, thrown into the new wood, is soon burning again. ”
"Is there a pause?" asked the scout.
Hillen nodded, picked up the water bladder and took a big sip, didn't swallow it all, left a mouthful, spit it on the ground, and complained: "It's so sad to have a life without ale." ”
In a basement in the inner city of Carroston, three gray-robed men sat around, the small round table was badly damaged, but it was fairly flat, and the only source of light in the basement was an oil lamp with a very short wick, and the light was so dim that it could not cast a clear figure.
"The light is above!"
"The light is above!"
"The light is above!"
"It is Jun'en Steel who ambushed Egger, and it has not yet been found out who revealed Egger's whereabouts. ”
"How's Egger doing?"
"After confirming it twice, the wounds on his body have been stitched up, the injuries of the five steel shuttle arrows are Norkendine thinner, and the wounds of the other six steel shuttle arrows are supposed to be healing magic. ”
"What about the light?"
"Prayer technique, fourth-level water magic, the caster has not yet been clarified, but it is certain that it is a high-level water magician. ”
"Go find out. ”
"Okay. ”
"You go out first. ”
"The light is above!"
"The light is above!"
"The light is above!"
A gray-robed man got up and left the basement.
"What do you think?"
"Orin should have stopped when he woke up, I still think that when things are clear, the eagle will never fly into the bushes to catch mice. ”
"Maybe you're right, suspend all action first. ”
"The light is above!"
"The light is above!"
On the way back from the temple, Orin had been thinking about what Master Giroud and the others had just said, and he still felt a little incredible.
In order to save herself, her daughter ran to an elemental city-state that had been abandoned for hundreds of years, and invited back a powerful high-level mage, a high-level water magician who could cast spells and "pray"!
The road from the temple to Stanlini Castle was not far, the carriage could reach it in half an hour, and for the first time Orin felt that the road was so short, and in a blink of an eye the carriage stopped.
The family got out of the carriage, a little tired, Orin glanced at Vivien, who was about to fall asleep, and decided to think about it and talk to Vivian tomorrow, there were too many things going on today.
The old butler Kaide carried a bright pot lamp to illuminate everyone, and everyone's faces looked good, and after confirming that Knight Egger's injuries were no longer serious, everyone was in a good mood.
"Everybody went back to rest. After Orin finished speaking, he walked in by himself, looking in the direction of the guest room where Li Xuan lived, but he didn't see the candlelight he was looking forward to, a little disappointed, and a little uneasy.
Mrs. Mandy looked at her husband's back, and there was also some uneasiness in her heart, except for Vivian, everyone had made a wrong judgment about Master Li Xuan, whether it was the dinner party or those two boxes of gold coins, it was completely enough for an ordinary magician, but for a high-level magician, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an insult at worst.
Mandy's mind still flashes back to time when the light fell, and everyone fell to their knees, and the soft and pure light was so divine.
When he returned to the Magic Guild, Giroud still couldn't calm down, after entering the bedroom, he lit two candlesticks, sat down at his desk, took out a thick parchment book, opened it, turned to the latest blank page, took a vulture-tail pen, brewed for a while, and slowly wrote down the content of his day today, which is a habit that many spellcasters have, which is helpful for future memories and self-reflection.
After writing for a while, Giroud got up and changed a candle, he was not satisfied with the lack of high-quality candles made of beeswax in Carouston City, and he particularly disliked the black smoke from the burning candles sold in the Carouston market. Maybe add a few boxes of high-quality candles to the purchase list of the imperial capital next month, if the purchase amount is still enough.
Giroud frowned as a dull knock sounded at the door, few people would bother him at this time.
"Come in," Giroud said, closing the book.
The wooden door creaked open, and three mages walked in.
"Master Giroud. The three of them greeted Giroud in unison, who nodded and motioned for the three to take their seats.
"Master Xide, are you here for Master Li Xuan's business?" Giroud asked.
Sid nodded.
"Master Li Xuan was not sent by the guild, he is the mage who was invited by Vivien, the beloved daughter of Viscount Orin, to treat Viscount Orin from Findrun. Viscount Orin said that he had taken Miss Vivien as an apprentice, and that he would most likely live in Carouston City for some time. Giroud slowly told a few people what he knew.
The three of Sid glanced at each other and said, "Master Giroud, you know that the three of us are all guild mages without inheritance, and we have all known about what you said, and the three of us have an idea, but I don't know if it will go against the will of the guild by doing so. ”
"What do you want to do?" Giroud said, frowning.
"You know, none of the three of us have a heritage, we don't have outstanding magical talents, and we have always been the most marginal mages in the Magic Guild, and we want to leave the Magic Guild and become freelance mages. Sid said at the end, and there was a tremor in his voice.
"Because of Master Li Xuan?" Giroud asked.
Sid did not speak, but looked at Diribair.
"Master Giroud, you know that I am very close to Noah, the eldest son of Stanlini, and I heard from Noah that Master Li Xuan is a very good magician, and Noah mentioned one thing, Master Li Xuan gave Viscount Orin a list of materials. The list consists of building a meditation house and materials for the Awakening Liquid. Diribair said that the whole person was excited.
"Awakening Liquid! this can't be!" Giroud said.
All three of them did not say a word, and all looked at Giroud in silence. Realizing that he had lost his temper, Giroud quickly put away his surprised expression, but he was still a little incredulous, and opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't speak.
"Master Giroud, we want to leave the Magic Guild. It was the mage Bing who had been silent all along.
"If the three of you have made up your mind, according to the contract rules of the Magic Guild, you need to compensate for the cultivation of the Magic Guild, and the amount of compensation will be compensated according to the contribution value you still need to make in the Magic Guild, and each of the three of you still has more than 30 contribution points to complete, and according to the rule of 100 gold coins per contribution, each of you must compensate more than 3,000 gold coins. In addition to this, a declaration will need to be signed by the three of you. After Master Giroud finished speaking, he looked at the three of them, and there were many emotions in his eyes, including envy, reluctance, sadness, and vague jealousy.
