Chapter 82: The War Resumes
Lear, who walked into the magic guild for the third time, suddenly had a strange feeling, and when his palm gently brushed the magic title pages made of four rare minerals and then made by secret methods, he actually had the feeling of stroking gold coins.
Sure enough, there is still a big difference between other people's money and their own.
Sosa and Aedrid were released by Lear as soon as they received the ransom, and for this reason he rejected Adra's suggestion to hand them over to the Forest Council for another profit, thinking that it would not be difficult to tie them up again, and insisted on establishing a good reputation among the Elasia nobles for the cause of kidnapping, but Adela believed that kindness to the enemy was cruelty to himself, and it was obvious that the female mage was much darker than Lear in this regard.
Eventually, though, Adela relented, after Lear told her not to offend an enemy too much if she didn't have the ability to kill them completely.
Adela stayed on the first floor as usual, while Lear walked up the stairs after a long day's wandering.
The first and second floors had no spells worth noting to him, his destination was the third floor, and then Lear smiled with satisfaction as he stood in front of the title shelf on the third floor of the magic tower and watched the magical light flickering on it.
Five days later, Lear finished his meditation in the magic tower, feeling that his mental energy had been well replenished after days of excessive consumption of study and memory, and he walked down the thick wooden ladder.
The druids who had entered the Magic Guild with him looked at him strangely, wondering why such a precious opportunity to enter the Magic Guild to learn was so precious, but Lear wandered around like a tourist for a few days and ended hastily, but if they knew that the latter had mastered all the spells in the magic tower, they would have been shocked by the big teeth.
Talent is a good thing, especially when it's in your own hands and throws everyone away from eighteen streets, and that feeling of being alone is the truest portrayal of the smile on Lear's face at this time.
He paused a little when he passed by Adela's side, the female mage was standing in front of the last of the four spell books on the second layer, and she didn't know how she comprehended, but if she could master the two third-level magics above, it would be at least two months later.
Without disturbing the other party, Lear quietly left the Magic Guild.
After that, Lear almost locked himself in his room and didn't go out, occasionally going to see the orcs training, and the good news was that through the continuous fighting, Guina and Mrak were finally going to be promoted to third-level swordsmen, but when he asked about Hag and Ivo's situation, the two said that there was no such thing as a rank in their tribe, and whoever had the big fist had to fight.
It's frustrating.
Another place to go is the Unicorn Forest in the depths of Lucky City, where the Treant Guards greet Lear after Erisha greets him, and he finally finds a quiet place to feel the fusion and fission of elemental particles and experiment with his newfound magic.
A month passed silently.
One day in the second month, Lear was meditating in his room to regain his depleted mana, when suddenly a violent vibration from under him pulled him back from deep meditation to the real world, and not long after, Haag's voice was heard outside the door.
"Chief, the Erathians are calling again. β
Lear walked out the door, only to be shocked to find everyone gathered at his door, including Valenque and CuarΓ³n.
"What are you doing?"
He asked helplessly.
"No, sir, aren't we going to fight?"
Haag's eyes lit with excitement, war was indeed an unparalleled attraction for barbarians.
"What's the fight? Lucky City is your home? Give me the honesty to go back and stay, Ivo and Mrak will come with me to see. β
After saying this, Lear took the lead and walked outside the guest house, where they lived was still a long way from the city wall, the shaking just now should be the attack of the Erathian catapult unintentionally smashed into the city, he needed to see the extent of the Erathian's attack this time, so as to judge what to do next.
Hag carefully shrunk his body behind Ivo and tailed, but the oppression of his huge body Lear could feel it even with his eyes closed, and the young mage glanced helplessly at his feet, as if he didn't see anything.
Bands of centaur warriors and dwarves weaved along the way, carrying huge logs and rolling stones to the city, where they were carried by the deadwood guards (drywoods) to the walls, and groups of elves dressed in shining armor carrying longbows towards the walls, unhindered by the fact that many people knew Lear.
"What a battle!"
Haag finally couldn't restrain his restless emotions at the back of the line, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but was fiercely whitened by Lear, who was walking in front, and quickly shrank back.
While under the walls, Lear was stopped by two sharp spears.
"Stop coming!"
The tall centaur captain makes a warning sound.
"Hello, I'm Lear, a wandering mage from Sarabuto, who is in charge of the city wall now, if you can, please inform me that I want to go up the city wall to see, if not, then we will leave now. β
"Please wait. β
After saying this, the centaur captain turned around and jumped onto the city climbing road next to him, the nearly forty-five degree angle was like walking on the ground under his feet, Lear quietly watched the other party's figure disappear into the city wall, so it seems that this first-level creature does not look as weak as he imagined, at least the swift speed and extremely strong muscle explosiveness can make them a nightmare for all ranged shooters and fragile mages.
Soon, the Centaur Captain, who had gone to report on his way, returned with the news that the druid had invited Lear to go up.
"Your Excellency Elago, please go up. β
He then stepped aside and continued to keep an eye on his watchful duties.
On this section of the city wall near the west side, Elago is closely watching the movements of the Erathians under the city, this time the enemy's actions are very strange, hundreds of catapults lined up under the city as if they are going to carry out a large-scale siege, but after the first round of test firing, there is no movement, although dozens of boulders have left many large and small pits on the walls of Lucky City, but for the strong wall built by the hands of the dwarves, this scar does not even need to be repaired.
In this way, the Erathians looked more like they had come to demonstrate, but years of experience in the war had taught Elago that things would never be so simple, and at this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar voice came from behind him.
"Thank you, Lord Elago, for allowing me to come up and watch the battle, what is the situation like now?"
Lear saw the big bald head from a distance and took the initiative to say hello.
"See for yourself. β
Elago stretched out his hand and pointed to the flat plateau outside the city, and said with a solemn face.
Looking in the direction of Elago's finger, Lear found that a large Herathian army was densely packed outside the city, and according to the division of the color of the banner, it could be seen that this time the enemy was almost pouring out, the infantry legion, the archery legion, the griffon legion, the crusader legion, and the Glory Knights (armored heavy cavalry), except for the shadows of the monks and angels, and the hundreds of catapults lined up behind the army did look a little infiltrating.
But the strange thing is that except for the sound of the flag being blown by the wind and tearing the paper like a hula, Erathia's military formation turned out to be as quiet as death at the moment, and even the horses of the Knights were cautious when they snorted.
What do they want to do?
"What do the Erathians seem to be waiting for?"
Lear offered his opinion.
"As you can see, I have the same thoughts, but if they are waiting for the monks and angels to arrive on the battlefield, I don't think it makes any real sense, because in the unicorn forest behind, Lord Kakarot and his people, as well as the Pegasus Knights, are ready for war. β
Is it really just to show off military might?
Lear fell into deep thought.
