Chapter 29: Departure
While everyone was talking to each other, a panting man ran in from outside the door, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm late." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the person who ran in gasped for breath.
Seeing this, Kenan cast a reply technique, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
As soon as Kenan's words fell, an emerald green point of light enveloped the man who ran in, and the man only felt that his strength had recovered a lot, and his originally rapid breathing was much more stable. The man steadied his breath and gave Kenan a wizarding salute, "Thank you, my name is Campbell, a second-level wizard apprentice, majoring in potions, and this time I am on a mission to Cullum on the Southern Peninsula. Are you going with you?"
"Well, we're going to Skystar City, and those companions of yours didn't wait until you were gone, if you hurry up, you might be able to catch up with them. Liana replied preemptively.
"Hey, are you already gone, thank you, I'm going to chase them. Campbell bowed when he heard this, turned around, and was about to run out the door.
"Hahaha," the room burst into laughter at Campbell's reaction.
"You, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with me?" Campbell looked back in confusion, scratching his messy hair, a little overwhelmed by the crowd.
Martin clutched his stomach and said, "Haha, I'm sorry, we were just kidding, I didn't expect you to be really fooled, haha." ”
Kenan couldn't help laughing, "I stretched out my hand, my name is Kenan, the big guy is Martin, the one in the corner is called Goldcoin, the one with the red cloak is called Liana, and the little one is called Annie." You're welcome to join us, Campbell. ”
"You're the little one, your whole family is the little one. Anne was angry and wanted to find Kenan's theory, but Liana was held in her arms and couldn't move.
Campbell shook Kennan's hand blankly, and only replied at the end, "Are you really my teammates?
"Well, it's a fake. ”
Campbell "......"
Eventually, Kenan and the other six apprentices ended their frolicking, got to know each other, and then took the mission together and set out on the road to Coolum.
Of course, since it is a mandatory exercise task of the academy, it is natural that there is no academy airship to sit on, otherwise the academy will exercise something. Therefore there were two paths before them, one was to ride a horse or a carriage, and the other was to walk on the legs. Kenan and the others discussed it, and finally decided to ride to Kurum. After all, if you really want to walk to Coolum by legs, it is impossible to go to Kulum for a year and a half, and if something happens, when you arrive, maybe the mission deadline has passed. Horse-drawn carriages can be tricky to pass through certain sections, as not all roads are in good condition. At this time, there were also stone or gravel roads near the city, most of which were dirt roads, or just hard ground for pedestrian caravans. And riding a horse is much more flexible, at least the requirements for road conditions are much lower, of course, this is also the relationship between Kenan and them as an apprentice, and when they reach the official wizarding stage, the flying device they buy casually can pass unhindered no matter what road conditions.
After discussing the way to travel, Kenan and the others first exchanged some gold and silver coins in the academy, after all, gold and silver coins are still used as general equivalents on the mainland, and magic stones are only circulated among wizards or relatively large forces.
After the exchange, Kenan and the others landed in a small airship to the valley city below the academy. I bought a few red-blooded horses with good stamina at the horse market in the city, and bought a lot of fodder from the horse dealer before setting off for Kurum.
After exiting the south gate of Valley City, there are verdant wheat fields on both sides of the road, and from time to time you can see several wizard apprentices majoring in botany performing witchcraft on the wheat fields to promote the growth of wheat fields. Looking at the endless wilderness, feeling the bright sunshine, and bathing in the warm morning breeze, Kennan was like a bird out of a cage, releasing the depression he had accumulated in his heart for two years. Although Kenan has lived a good life in the past two years, he has met a good mentor, made some friends, learned witchcraft, and entered the fate shop that communicates all worlds. But after all, Kenan has always been trapped in Lilith's hut, never leaving the gate of the castle, although he usually can't see anything, but there is always a kind of depression piled up in his heart, if nothing is okay, if he advances to a wizard with this mentality, there may be some hidden dangers. And this time leaving the academy Kennan can be regarded as a spring breeze and a horseshoe disease, and the dragon returns to the sea tiger into the mountains and forests. Kennan lightly knocked the stirrup and galloped away, and Martin and the others were also infected by the surrounding scenery, and after Kennan took the lead, they all followed after the stirrup. Fortunately, the physical fitness and coordination of several people are many times stronger than ordinary people, otherwise it may not be easy to stabilize their bodies with the skills of these people riding horses for the first time.
After running for more than ten miles, Kennan's mood was much more relaxed, and he slowly slowed down. Martin and the others quickly caught up. Among the six apprentices, Campbell, Annie, and Kennan were also out of the city for the first time after entering the school, so they were naturally excited, while the three battle wizard apprentices, Martin, Gold, and Liana, although they had also performed several missions, were all near Valley City, and they were led by senior apprentices. And this assignment is also the first time for them to walk such a long distance, and they are naturally a little excited in their hearts. I was infected by Kennan's emotions just now, so I naturally ran crazy for a while, and when my mood calmed down, I naturally took out the qualities that a battle wizard should have.
Martin urged his mount to take a few steps to Kenan's side, took out a map, looked at it, and said, " About a hundred miles away from Valley City is the Sick Wood Plain, there are many small kobold camps and goblin tribes on the plain, and occasionally there are wandering gnolls and robbers, although they do not dare to attack the more powerful convoys, but for lone passers-by will still do it, the size of our team is not very large, with the intelligence of those stupid creatures it is difficult to distinguish the difference between a lone pedestrian and a wizard apprentice, so when you get there, you have to be careful, everyone pay more attention and be prepared for battle. ”
Kenan knew that what the other party said made sense, so he nodded, "Senior Martin, you are the most experienced here, and we will all listen to you." ”
Martin looked at the people behind him, and everyone said they had no opinion. Seeing this situation, Martin did not shirk, "Well, since everyone trusts me so much, I will temporarily assign tasks, and if you have any opinions, you can put them forward and discuss them together." Martin paused and continued, "I suggest that the gold coin open the way in front, he is mainly engaged in reconnaissance, he is very good at this aspect, I am always ready to support the gold coin, we are more familiar with each other, and it is more convenient to cooperate." Kenan, Campbell and Anne are slightly weaker in combat and stay in the middle of the team to pay attention to the situation on both sides of the team, Liana is stronger as the queen of the palace. How?"
After discussing it, everyone also felt that this distribution was more reasonable, so they continued to move forward according to the agreed formation.
