The dense forest is overgrown with trees, and the canopy branches and leaves at the top of the tree are luxuriantly tangled, intertwined layer after layer, and the sunlight cannot penetrate it, and it is obviously noon, but the forest is like night, only sporadic beams of light are difficult to shoot down from the gaps, providing a glimmer of light to this dim space.

The soil on the ground was moist, and the rotting leaves were stacked, and a black insect with tentacles crawled on it. Suddenly, the insect sped up and crawled to the side.

At the moment when the insect crawled away, one foot fell heavily, trampling the soft rotten leaf deep.

Looking up, you can see that the owner of this foot is a female human, her clothes are simple and messy, with many torn places, and her long hair is also scattered on her head, so she can't see her appearance clearly.

"Whew, Whew......"

The woman's breathing was heavy and rapid, and she sprang forward in great strides, looking back from time to time, her eyes full of fear, as if she was being chased by some monster. But looking behind her, there was nothing but thick trees.

Running in the woods is dangerous, because the rotting leaves in the forest are so thick that you don't know what's buried underneath, let alone if it's solid ground underneath. But the woman obviously didn't have any experience in this area and didn't know any of this, so she just ran as hard as she could.

But she soon gained this new experience.

"Ahh

The woman suddenly screamed, and the whole person quickly fell down in a strange posture to the left front.

Before the aftermath of her shout fell, the whole person had already smashed to the ground with a muffled sound, and her head unfortunately touched a small stone, and there was a sharp pain.

The woman has a strong will to survive, and after falling, she immediately supported the ground with her hands, trying to stand up and continue to escape, but she only held up her upper body, and her head became strongly dizzy, and she suddenly felt that the sky was dark.

Tell me about it

A small whisper sounded, the movement was getting closer and closer, and the speed of the approach was extremely fast, and it was almost catching up with the speed of the wind, and soon came to the woman's side.

Through the dim light of the forest, it can be seen that these are three male humans, normal in shape, not very tall, with strange patterns painted on their exposed skin, and weapons in their hands.

"A human?"

One of the three men said, in a semi-questioning tone, as if wondering why there were humans here.

Then the man asked the two men beside him, "Have any of you seen her?"

The other two stared at the woman for a moment, and both shook their heads.

The woman's mind was dizzy, and her eyes began to be in a trance, but she could barely see that the three people in front of her were human, which made the fear and vigilance in her eyes finally disappear, and her expression was relieved.

"Save me, save me......"

The woman's right hand stretched out to the three of them, and after two weak calls for help from her mouth, the dizziness of her mind reached the extreme, and her eyes went dark, and the whole person fell down again, and then she didn't know what to do.

......

There is a faint smell of medicine in the air, but after smelling it, people will not feel sour and unpleasant, but will involuntarily calm down a little.

Lisa slowly woke up from such a smell.

Of course, this kind of involuntarily relaxing smell will only make people take a pleasant nap, and will not wake people from sleep, what really wakes up Lisa is the surrounding sounds.

"Don't bother anymore, the notice from the Potions Institute is very clear, you have now reached the bottleneck of mad cow potions, and it is useless to drink any more, it will only waste the potions in vain. In addition, I would like to remind you that there are still three days left before the drug resistance inspection period, and I advise you to report to the Potions Institute as soon as possible, otherwise it will be found out that you have already shown drug resistance but have not reported it for a long time...... You know the methods of those people. ”

It was a man's voice, and it sounded like something in his twenties, a little rough.

The answer to this man was the same man's voice, but it was much more detailed, and his tone was still very irritable: "Of course I know the methods of those people, Tutu was exiled for a whole month because of this, if it weren't for his own methods, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to come back......"

The rough voice sounded again, and he sighed before he said, "Since you know, do you still have to insist? You are not Tutu, I know all your methods, if you are exiled for a month, there is not much chance of coming back alive." ”

The voice paused, and then the conversation changed, "If you want me to say, you are still like me, specializing in spells, and become a mage with peace of mind, this is much safer than taking risks like you are now." ”

The irritated shrill voice immediately said, "I don't want to make bread every day like you!"

The gruff voice retorted, "What's wrong with making bread? Making bread is also work, if we don't make bread every day, can you eat without farming?" And this is only temporary, as long as my magic goes up, and I learn two more spells, I can be promoted to a second-level mage, and then I don't need to make bread." ”

The shrill voice sarcastically said, "Yes, then you will go and build a house." ”

"You!"

The rough voice froze for a while, but immediately softened again, sighed, and said helplessly: "Just like the old fairy said, it's all about serving the people...... After all, your ideological consciousness is still not enough, and I really don't know when you will be able to enter the army if you continue like this. ”

This seemed to speak to the sore spot of that sharp voice, and he finally did not retort like a hedgehog, but fell silent.

The room was silent, but Lisa woke up, but her eyes hadn't opened yet, her eyelashes fluttered unconsciously, and her heart fluctuated and she was in doubt.

What did she just hear?!

Regardless of the content of their conversation, the language in which they spoke was shocking enough. Because Lisa found that although the two of them mainly spoke the lingua franca, in the course of their conversation, they would often mix in ancient language—— Lisa was a three-star black-robed mage, and she believed that she would not hear it wrong.

Being able to use ancient languages so naturally and habitually in daily conversations, Lisa knew that she couldn't do it, and Lisa couldn't understand some of the ancient languages involved in their conversations, which showed that the ancient language attainments of these two people were above herself.

Lisa is not an arrogant person, she knows how many pounds and taels she has, so she doesn't think that no one can be higher than her - in fact, there are people who are higher than her, and it is not surprising to meet one or two, but it is a little strange to put it here.

Lisa could hear the conversation clearly, and it was clear that one of the two was indeed a mage—although he called it a strange term "second-class mage"—but the other was not.

A person who is not a mage, and the ancient language attainments are even higher than her three-star black-robed mage?!

That's where Lisa really got her head struck.

So where is this? What are these two people? What is "drug resistance" or something, and why can't they understand a lot of what they say?......

Lisa had too many doubts in her heart at the moment, and under the effect of defensive psychology, although she woke up, she never opened her eyes.

She thought about something before she opened her eyes, but the abilities of the two people around him were obviously more powerful than she had imagined.

"Now that you're awake, let's get up and talk. ”

A shrill voice suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

This made Lisa listen to it, and her heart was shocked, I don't know how the other party knew that she had woken up. But since they were all discovered, it didn't make sense to pretend any longer, so Lisa finally slowly opened her eyes.

The light in front of her was not dazzling, and Lisa blinked her eyes a few times to get used to it, and then saw the situation she was in now.

It was a boxy room with stone walls on one side and wooden walls on the other three, with a doorway opening in one of the wooden walls.

The floor in the room was not dirt, but a hard and flat stone surface, which made Lisa's heart move, and she had some guesses about the identities of the two people around her: it was not something ordinary people could afford to make the place where she lived such a hard and flat stone surface, and the person's self-proclaimed mage identity should be confirmed. Only a mage can have such a family background to make a family like this.

The room wasn't too big, but there were a lot of things, tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., and Lisa slept on a simple bunk - it was actually a makeshift bed made of soft straw on the floor. The other two were sitting in chairs next to them, so Lisa had to look up when she looked at them.

It was two male humans, the one on the left was dressed in a robe with a round badge pinned to the chest, and the other in a neat two-part garment, exposing his wrists and ankles, and the exposed part was covered in tattoos.

The tattoos awakened Lisa's memories and reminded her of the scene before she fell unconscious: weren't the three people she saw the same in the last moments before she fell into a coma in the woods, all covered in tattoos?

Seeing Lisa sit up, the man in the robe looked over with concern and asked, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?"

As soon as he spoke, Lisa could tell that he was the rough voice from before, that is, the "mage". As for the other one, it was naturally the man with a sharp voice.

Lisa is also a nobleman, and in the face of the other party's friendly inquiry, she politely replied: "Thank you." He didn't say if he wanted to eat or not, but immediately asked what he wanted to know most urgently: "Where is this? Who are you? Did you save me?"

The robed man's voice was rough, but his tone was gentle, and he was very friendly, and replied, "It was the people of the army who saved you, and this is the Sea of Stars." ”

The man in the robe said the word "sea of stars" in an ancient language, but he immediately realized that the other party might not understand, so he changed the phrase to a lingua franca: "This is the sea of stars, and as for us, we are all residents here." ”

"The Sea of Stars ......"

Lisa muttered the word, but couldn't remember a place on the continent with this name, but instead had a doubt: "This is the sea?"

The robed man shook his head with a smile and said, "No, this place is still on land, and it belongs to the Valley of Thorns, just like the place where you fainted, but this place is just called the Sea of Stars." ”

Lisa nodded, sort of understood.

At this time, the tattooed man who had been sitting silently on the side spoke: "Since she has woken up, then I will take her to the statistics department to report." ”

As soon as she heard that the other party was going to take her away, Lisa subconsciously became alert, and the man in the robe immediately spoke: "Don't worry, she has slept all day, she must be hungry, let her eat first before going." ”

The man in the robe said as he walked to the side of the cabinet and brought something to Lisa.

It was a plate of bread, full of a whole plate, enough to feed the pigs.

"Eat. ”

As soon as she saw the bread, Lisa's stomach finally reacted and grunted, which made the eldest lady with a high aristocratic education a little embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned red. However, after this period of experience, this eldest lady is more open than in the past, without much hesitation, after thanking again, she took the plate and picked up a piece of bread to eat.

Although she was hungry, she still didn't gobble up, which also shows how deeply her education affected her. However, after taking the first bite, Lisa's movements suddenly stopped.

It's magic bread!

Although it is the same bread, it can also play a filling role, but there is a difference between magic bread and bread made from grain, and the biggest difference is in the taste.

Lisa had also learned the spell of magic bread when she was studying magic, and she had also cast it herself, made magic bread, and eaten a lot of it herself, so she only needed one bite to tell the peculiarity of this bread.

"I don't want to make bread like you do every day!"

The words that the sharp voice had said before rushed to Lisa's head at this moment, and she finally understood the meaning of the words at this moment.

This magic bread should be made by the mage in front of her, and judging from what she heard before, the main thing this mage does every day seems to be casting spells to make magic bread......

Could it be that the daily food of these people is magic bread?

Noble, elegant, the highest-ranking mage class on the continent, is only equivalent to a baker here?

When did magic, such a powerful and formidable power, become such a lowly thing?

Wouldn't this mage want to resist this insult to the identity of the mage?

What kind of person can make these mages willing to do such degrading things every day?

What exactly is this place?

......
