Chapter 5 Boarding the ship
Before he could go down the mountain, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy came over. "Hello friend, may I ask you that you have also chosen the Flame Throne. ”
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello, my name is Vernal, and I am also an apprentice of the Flame Throne. If there is anything we don't understand in the future, we can communicate with each other. ”
"Very honored. ”
"This is my companion, Miss Caroline, the princess of the Skelke Empire. ”
The two nodded, and Caroline smiled and didn't say much. It can be seen that Caroline still maintains the pride of a princess and disdains Daniel, who is too far away in status.
The three of them waited a little longer, and three teenagers came out of the tent of the Flame Throne, and Vernal called them over in the name of communication. In fact, it is just out of fear of unknown places, and in line with the principle that there is strength in numbers, I want to unite together.
Seeing that the time was not early, several people went down the mountain. The next few people who came out were Hamilton, The Simpson, and Mike, all of whom chose the Flame Throne Wizarding Academy.
It can be seen that Vernal is very good at communication. "We are both apprentices from the Oak Islands, and when we go to the academy, we can be considered fellow villagers, and we will help each other in the future. ”
"What does that mean?"
Daniel was keenly aware of the place in his mouth.
Vernal glanced at him and said, "Oh, you know, our continent is actually very small, and it is known to the outside world as the Octodor Islands."
Daniel's mouth opened in surprise, after months of traveling, he was sure that this continent was at least the size of the Eurasian continent in the previous life, and it was only an island. How can it be!
So how big should the real continent be, and in what form?
The Eurasian continent is already a large area, and due to the distance from the ocean, the rain is scarce, forming a large desert.
If it were larger than the Eurasian continent, he couldn't imagine what the environment would be.
Princess Caroline flashed a hint of disdain and muttered, "A bunch of hillbillies." ”
caused several people to look at them angrily, but they still ignored it for Vernal's sake.
"The Oak Islands, there is also a saying in the outside world, the desert islands. ”
Desert? Daniel was a little puzzled, there was a lot of population here, and where was the desert, it seemed to refer to the scarcity of some kind of resource.
"Yes, the Oak Islands were a wizarding mecca 10,000 years ago. Later, for unknown reasons, the resources required by wizards gradually decreased, and even the number of apprentices was greatly reduced, making the land no longer suitable for wizards.
Aside from apprentices who are hopeless for promotion and wizards who have decided to go into seclusion, there are few other wizards to be found on this continent.
I see, Daniel nodded. No wonder he searched the entire study and couldn't find many legends about wizards. It turns out that there are no more wizards.
"On the other side of the sea we're going to is the real continent, and I've heard that there are not only various wizarding academies on it, but also countless hidden relics and laboratories remaining. On that continent, wizards are not legends, and although they are relatively rare, they can still be seen. Only there can we learn to be shamans. ”
"And what's the name of where we're going?" asked Daniel.
"I don't know, in fact, I've heard it from others. The continent was so big that it didn't have a unified name, and we went to the south of the continent, a place full of academies. ”
Talking on the way, they soon came to the town. Vernal led them to a bar, which was called the Flame Throne.
Daniel knew just by looking at the name that it was the place where the apprentices of the Flame Throne Wizard Academy gathered.
A burly boy with curly blond hair and swelling like a lion saw them shouting:
"Vernal, you've introduced me to a newbie again. Everyone, my name is Grover, I am from the Lambasa Empire, since I am here, don't be restrained, the people here are all students who have decided to go to the Flame Throne in the future. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will be happy to answer them. ”
Vernal glared at him fiercely and led a few people to the table next to him. Daniel was a little uncomfortable with starting a gang now, but he also knew that it was normal.
If you go to such a far place, you must be very scared if you are not familiar with the place. Of course, you have to find a few more companions, and if you have something, you can rely on each other.
After chatting with them for a while, agreeing to help each other, Daniel returned to the rented hotel. Originally, he took three knights and a dozen knight squires, in addition to protecting the safety along the way. The main purpose is to take them to the wizarding academy to obey the dispatch.
But today, seeing the army of hundreds of knights in the barracks, Daniel realized how narrow his vision was before.
The soldiers are all composed of knights, which shows the strength of the wizarding academy, and it is useless to take them with this group of knight squires, so it is better to let them go back.
Daniel was still wondering how the academy informed him. When it was time to set off, I heard a thunderous roar in the air.
"All the apprentices who have already chosen the academy, pack up and arrive at the port by 12 noon where there is a boat transfer. ”
A few people made an appointment to go over together, and Caroline said disdainfully, "We went to learn witchcraft this time, how could we take a boat, isn't there a floating boat?"
Vernal explains: "The energy consumption of the float is too high, and we are not important people, so we can only take the boat. ”
Daniel was a little disappointed, he thought that he could see the float ship of the wizarding world, so as to compare it with the flying machines in his previous life, but now it seems that there is no hope.
In the empty harbor at this time, there were four huge ships of different shapes moored.
Although compared to the 10,000-ton giant ships in the previous life, the volume of these ships can only be regarded as medium, not very large. At least in Daniel's eyes, there wasn't much shock.
But the 10,000-ton ships are dead creatures made of steel, and these ships feel like they have a soul of their own, and they are quietly docked between the mountains and rivers, floating on the ocean in their own way.
In the face of the mysterious, primitive, and awe-inspiring feeling of these four ships, the ships moored around are almost completely ignored!
Still, the group didn't like it much. In their minds, wizards are mysterious and powerful, and they should also take a float boat as an apprentice, why should they take a boat.
Cecil, the third-level apprentice Daniel first met, was waiting for them at the bow of the ship, when he saw someone coming and directed them to get on board.
"Alright, my future juniors, do you see the person sitting in the middle? That's the tutor of our Academy, His Excellency Maxwell, a powerful official wizard. I advise you, don't think about bothering him, otherwise something will go wrong, don't blame me for not reminding him. ”
Daniel looked over and saw the mysterious wizard, dressed in white robes, with fiery red hair, and six or seven large gemstone rings on his hands. Talking to two apprentices.
Behind him was a man in a white knight's suit.
Daniel knew both of them, the boy was named Randolph and the girl was named Regana. It is said to have inspired bloodlines, and has an extraordinary affinity for fire, and is able to emit flames without using sorcery. Once you practice fire sorcery, you will progress quickly and will be able to go further.
I didn't expect them to be received by the wizard. As for the back is Maxville's servant Baron, who had been to the town a few days ago, Daniel had seen him from afar. is a powerful legendary knight.
Cecil glanced at them and said, "They are not comparable to you. Apprentices who stimulate the bloodline will be accepted as apprentices by the mentor. ”
In an instant, everyone cast envious eyes, but who let himself not stimulate the bloodline, he could only do envy.
"Don't look at it, let's go find a cabin to live in. The flame painted on the door is already inhabited, remember not to cause trouble for me, or I will show you what it means to live rather than die. ”
Fernal, Caroline, and Daniel walked together, they had already agreed, a group of people lived together, and there was something to take care of.
On the way, he met several crew members, and Daniel greeted them with a smile, and the crew was slightly stunned for a moment, nodded, and showed excitement on their faces.
"It's really worthy of being born with mud legs, and I will greet lowly crew members. Caroline's face was full of disdain.
Daniel looked at her deeply and said, "I don't know how long it will take to get to the South Coast, so I'd advise you to be respectful of them." Here, the status of a princess is of little use. So in the face of knights, and big knights, you still have to be respectful, who knows when we will use them. ”
Vernal couldn't believe it. "They're knights?"
"Yes, I've seen that even the lowliest person on board is a knight, and the one just now is the great knight. ”
Several people instantly felt a chill rush to their minds, and they no longer dared to underestimate the people on the boat. Even the arrogant Caroline was no different.
Even in the Empire, knights are high nobles, and great knights are even more remarkable figures. Who dares to underestimate. If you provoke them, there are ways to kill you.
This is just a ship to take apprentices to the academy, I really don't know how strong the academy is, dare to use knights like this.
