Chapter 10: The Mage's Tower (I)
Pretending to order food at the tavern counter, Faich's eyes were not far from the wandering mage, and he found that his prank-like trick had not succeeded, and his partner Moder showed an embarrassed look, a softness that was "subdued" by the other party, and she felt the sour frustration for the first time, and immediately returned to her place, huffing into her seat, and deliberately making a boring noise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lu Bin's attention shifted from Moder to Fei Xi, and then with the gentle eyes of the adults she hated for naughty children, she succeeded in causing the proud mage apprentice to retaliate with a hint of annoyance.
Fei Xi smashed a white eye, who knew that His Excellency the "Wandering Mage" smiled lightly, the more calm the other party was, the more angry she became, and she felt that she was a joke.
Fortunately, when the volcano was about to erupt, Moder intervened in time to hold down Fisch, who was trying to get up, and for this he had to consume the amber ring on the tail finger of his right hand, secretly releasing a calm light.
Lu Bin was aware of this, but he didn't expect his "countermeasures" to be so effective, and he gossiped to himself.
"Anyone will learn how to relieve stress at some point in their lives. Being able to control your emotions without being affected by them is what it means to be a real adult. ”
"The same is true for the mage who walks in the hall of mysteries! Be the master of emotions, not be swayed by them, and always keep a calm and prudent mind, in order to take a solid step on the road to the legendary spellcaster. ”
Moder noticed that what "Lord Rez" had just said was not insightful, and while thinking about chewing, he did not forget to reach out again to suppress Feshi, who was about to go berserk, this partner who was like his sister.
Faich's body trembled slightly from emotion, it was not the depression before leaving the anger, but the love of opening a window to discover new scenery, after all, she was an apprentice taught by Master Mountbatten himself, and it was not so easy to be provoked by words and lose control.
Fifty kilometers away, the alchemist at Eton Manor, with the help of the surveillance eye attached to the protective ring, saw his two apprentices "falling" in different ways, and secretly raised his opinion of the wandering mage Mr. Rez.
With respect and reverence for the knowledge of the occult, a strong control of his emotions, and the ability to instruct his apprentice, he may really have to call this strange spellcaster Your Excellency.
Although Master Mountbatten put the other party on an equal footing with himself, the prejudice of the academic mage against the "wild mage" will not be eliminated, and his ideas and thoughts are deeper and farther than everyone else.
Before the harpist leader was recruited, the wandering mage Lord Reze was introduced to the "Arcane Pearl", and from the information gathered so far, they have been in contact for a long time, and perhaps there is a little friendship in it.
The Master's position in the Baron Freuyd's family is unassailable, and it is believed that no one, no spellcaster, can challenge his position, so in order to repay the Baron's friendship, but also to enhance the magical power of the realm, a formal invitation is indispensable.
With 200% strength in his own territory, Mountbatten, who has entered the master level in the alchemy system, will not be afraid of anyone's challenge, and he also believes that he can suppress the wild mages who live in the wilderness.
The master's pet, who is also the messenger eagle who delivers news and letters, flapped his wings and flew in the direction of the town of resting with his iron talons tied to a letter box the size of a little finger.
In the tavern, the three people who got acquainted with each other and talked happily continued to stir up topics and chat after lunch.
Lu Bin was a very good listener in this regard, and only in a few words did he pass through his adventures, and turned around to ask about the apprenticeships of Fisch and Moder.
To his surprise, Fishy, who originally thought he was a "big mouth", was a common daily news with similar content, but Moder, who was reticent at the beginning, seemed to have changed as if he had changed his academic opinions, and stuffed his academic opinions into the ears of "Lord Rez".
“...... Strong acid traps, most common in tombs with heavy traps. I once saw a group of hapless tomb robbers, the moment they pried open the coffin with a crowbar, the powerful pressure was released, and in an instant their facial features dissolved into a blur of flesh and blood, and they could only spend the rest of their lives alone in the dark. This spell is very insidious, but at the same time very useful and versatile in terms of protection. ”
Speaking of trap spells, Moder, who had followed the alchemist master to learn, seemed to scratch his itch, and immediately talked about the previous designs, gushing about how the terrain, weather, environment and other factors could be effectively integrated into the installation of spell traps.
Fei Xi looked at his partner and his brother in disbelief, as if he knew him for the first time, and his heart was inexplicably a little sour, their conversation, every word was understood, but when they were connected, he couldn't get in.
A sense of alienation that is not qualified to participate and is implicitly excluded makes the proud female apprentice restrain her ostentatious peacock feathers, so as not to reveal an embarrassing scene.
Fortunately, the rescuer who rescued her from her bitter academic discussion came, and Master Mountbatten's pet, folded its wings through the skylight of the tavern, and quietly landed on the beams of the antechamber, without stirring up much dust.
The majestic eagle looked around, found two acquaintances with familiar faces, immediately bent his neck, pecked at the letter tube with an iron hook-like beak, and then raised his head, flapped his wings and flew away from the skylight.
"Teacher's urgent letter!"
Fei Xi was the first to grab it, spread out the paper roll inside, and suddenly, the shrinking technique was automatically lifted, revealing a formal letter sealed with fire paint and branded with the traces of the seal.
Considering the face of His Excellency Wandering Mage Rez, Fei Xi did not dare to open the letter privately on the spot, and held it in front of Lu Bin in person with both hands.
Moder smiled approvingly, feeling like his own sister, Fisch, who had grown a little more than yesterday, perhaps because of what Lord Reze had just said.
After Lu Bin spread out the letter, he found that it was full of alphabetic characters that he didn't know, but the effectiveness of knowing the language was still there, and he could easily read the content on it.
Properly following the fold marks and restoring the letter to its original state, Lu Bin pressed the letter with both hands and explained it to the two mage apprentices who wanted to know the content.
"Your Excellency Mountbatten, the teacher of the two of you, has specially invited me to his mage tower for a formal meeting. As for my difficulties, he has already made arrangements. Thanks to Master Barton's favor, I'm afraid I'm going to be in Baron Freud's domain for a while. ”
Faich's face was wonderful, and the first thing that came to mind was why the teacher had changed his mind, and then he doubted whether his actions and that of Moder were being watched by the teacher at all times.
First of all, she thought that before leaving, the protective ring given by the teacher basically did not come in handy. Through friendly exchanges between the two sides, it turned out that the wandering mage was not a reckless and rude mercenary-like figure, but rather an unorthodox academic mage who was cautious and valued actual combat more than research.
After a few rounds of fighting, Fei Xi has changed from calling the other party "wild mage" contemptuously to an unorthodox academic mage, which can be regarded as a good start.
As for Modell, he did not think about it superfluously, but thought that Master Mountbatten had dealt with it very well, even if he was responsible for charging into battle, according to the tradition of mages, it was an honor to be able to solve problems for the teacher.
In this way, Lu Bin, who had gone through a series of exchanges in the tavern, managed to attract the attention of the local lord's mage advisor, and it didn't take long for the three of them to step on the four-wheeled carriage to Eton Manor, which was a little hard for him to believe.
The wheels of the iron rollers sparkled along, and the idyllic scenery along the way made Lu Bin a little dizzying, a large area of "abandoned" land overgrown with weeds, interspersed with pieces of cut oily green wheat fields, the breeze by the river blew, rippling with layers of blue waves, ripple-like spread, and then rolled upside down.
Through the thin screen window, the autumn wind blowing into the carriage was not as cold and clear as expected, mixed with the fishy smell of the earth, the fragrance of the grass and trees, and the smell of the field made people feel comfortable and peaceful.
"Farmland with rotational ploughing and fallow does not have the disadvantage of overdrawing and depleting soil fertility, and can continue to produce bumper crops for many years. ”
