Chapter 138 Field Practice
More than half a month passed, and the temperature gradually began to drop.
The entire Twin Moon City seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, lifeless, and I don't know if it was because of so many troubles that had happened recently. In addition, the old king was infected with a serious disease, and his illness recurred, so in the past few days, Rand often went to the palace to accompany him, and the whole person has worked a lot.
Before dawn that morning, Xiao Mi, the maid of the house, went to Roland's room and called him up.
Roland rubbed his eyes, then asked, "What's wrong?"
"Have you forgotten that today you are going to the outer forest for an internship? I will gather at the academy at six o'clock, and if I don't get up, I will be late!" Xiao Mi paused, and then said, "Your Highness has already gotten up and waited for you......"
Roland was slightly stunned: "Why didn't you call me earlier......?" Isn't he going to the palace today?"
Xiao Mi shook her head: "I heard His Royal Highness say that the king asked him not to enter the palace for the time being." It seems that because the eldest prince and the third prince quarreled so much, the king felt exhausted and didn't want to see anyone!"
So Roland got up and got ready to wash. Xiao Mi began to pack a lot of things, clothes, and snacks...... There were even several sets of tea sets.
Roland was a little helpless: "What are you doing with these useless things? We are going to field exercises, not outings......"
"You and Your Highness didn't go to Wailin for two or three days this time, but for a week, a whole week! How unsafe it is outside! The lecturer of the academy is really not allowed to bring servants, what should we do if our Highness is tired?" Just stay in the academy and listen to the lectures, why don't you need to be like this!"
Roland didn't defend anything, so he had to smile bitterly.
I don't know what's going on lately, Roland always feels that the atmosphere when he stays in Double Moon City is particularly depressing, making him feel tightness in his chest and dizziness, and a little unpleasant. After a long time, Roland wanted to go for a walk in the wilderness and breathe fresh air, which is why he chose this course at that time.
And it's very rare that this class, Gray's guy didn't choose with them, so Roland also has a rare opportunity to finally get rid of Gray's noisy guy and enjoy some rare peaceful time for the time being.
According to the old rules, the students who participated in this course had to meet at the gate of the War College before leaving.
And Xiu waited at the gate of the academy early in the morning with a reluctant face.
Ever since the last "Summoning Studies" course happened to summon a demon as a thrilling thing, Shu has been very resistant to this kind of course with uncertainty. He also always tries to avoid participating.
But helplessly, Wu Yao vowed that Xiu must participate in this course, saying that he might find clues to his murderer.
So although Xiu was reluctant, he still came to participate in the entanglement under the temptation of the "murderer".
Xiu aimlessly looked at the students who signed up for this course, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: What did Wu Yao mean by what he said before? Could it be that the murderer of himself was among the students who participated in this course?
Thinking of this, Xiu's eyes couldn't help but widen, for fear of letting a student go. As a result, Xiu looked at it, and found that there were really a few familiar figures in front of him: Roland, Rand, Guanglu, and Roy from the civilian group!
You know, Rand and Roy are just that, Roland and Guanglu are two of Xiu's first five suspicions! After Wu Yao said such ambiguous words to him, Xiu certainly has reason to suspect that it is no coincidence that Roland and Guanglu appear here. Could it be that Wu Yao is implying that one of the two of them actually killed him?
Xiu suddenly felt that the whole person was not good.
He cowered and hid in the corner, not talking to anyone else. It was Guanglu who saw Xiu and took the initiative to pull him into the crowd and chatted.
As a result, before Guanglu and Xiu could say a few words, the crowd suddenly fell silent. Xiu was a little confused, so he quickly looked up. As a result, he found out that in addition to a few of them, there was another person from the War College who also participated in this field internship, that is, Ellis, who is known as the "Goddess of War"!
And the appearance of Ellis made the atmosphere of the scene slightly more subtle.
Then Xiu soon discovered that the subtle source of this subtlety was in Roland's body.
You must know that although the last team competition was won by the Silver Moon class, the competition between Ellis and Roland in the preliminaries has still not yet been decided.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ellis seems to be targeting Roland in the preliminaries, so some good people began to speculate about which of them was stronger or weaker, and whether there had been any holidays.
Roland himself, as if he hadn't seen Ellis at all, was still on Roland's side very indifferently as usual. It's just that, under Roland's calm performance, he also seems to have sensed a trace of bad premonition. Roland could even feel his own heartbeat.
This does not bode well!
And Roland's intuition has always been terrifying.
Thinking of this, Roland's mood couldn't help but start to darken.
He couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to find that although it was still dawn, the sky had begun to darken, and dark clouds swirled in the sky, followed by a roaring thunder.
It's going to change.
The group walked for about three or four hours under the guidance of the lecturer, and finally reached the depths of the outer forest.
This outer forest, which is actually the land that evolved from the human reclamation of the Merlin Forest, is supposed to be a special area between the human territory and the territory of the elves.
Over the past few decades, under the leadership of the king, the country of the moon has fought everywhere, expanded its territory, and has become the largest principality of mankind. The king became complacent, no longer satisfied with roaming only on human territory, and even began to covet the neighbors of other races.
Fortunately, in recent years, the king has become tired and old, and he has begun to become unable to cope with many things. Coupled with the fact that humans really don't know anything about other races except for the elves of the Merlin Forest, the Moon Country has stopped its conquest for a while.
However, the military training and research of human beings against other races has never stopped. And the only thing that mankind knows about the Forest of Merlin has been ruined by this.
Because most of the magical creatures in the Forest of Merlin are docile and weak, since more than ten years ago, the king has ordered the army to recover the border between the Forest of Merlin and the Terran settlement, and began to collect the woodland there little by little for their own use, and this is how this outer forest came about.
And the students' practical training this time, to put it bluntly, is to go to the border of the outer forest, and work with the border guards who are already working there to mine enclosures and encircle magical creatures.
When the students arrived at the military station, the lecturer who led the team communicated with the general of the station for a while, and then took them to the place where they worked and developed.
In fact, the scene on this land is not as beautiful as imagined.
Towering trees have been cut down to the ground, shimmering streams have been clogged up and turned into flat land, empty horses and other large magical creatures have been scarred in filthy fences, and petite elves have been locked in cramped cages, struggling. Perhaps it won't be long before they will be dressed up clean and beautiful, and transported to bustling cities for people to buy and sell for fun.
Some of the girls couldn't stand the scene in front of them. This was nothing like what they saw when they went to the Forest of Merlin during the Summoning Studies course. And Rand, the soft-hearted prince, also seemed to feel a little uncomfortable when facing the scene in front of him, and his expression became a little unnatural.
Xiu glanced at Ellis and found that she was now looking at the scene in front of her with a blank face, obviously used to such things. Perhaps she was also ordered to lead the army to "expand the territory" like this.
And the other students present seemed to take this for granted. Although they were a little surprised at the first sight, they immediately became eager to try it.
The students were divided into groups to prepare according to the teacher's arrangement, and they planned to go with the soldiers to a high slope in the outer forest to catch a giant beast that had been disrupting the progress of the project for a long time.
And the temperature in the highlands plummets, and the environment is unknown and full of uncertainty.
