Chapter XXXIII Investment
The light dimmed, as if someone had accidentally knocked over the ink bottle, and the canopy was stained black.
Looking up at the deteriorating weather, Scott Knight cursed fiercely, but in the face of nature's climate change, he had no ability to change.
"Rest, all camped. ”
With the knight's master's order, this small team of more than fifty people immediately stopped.
More than thirty servants hurriedly unloaded the loads of their horses and mules, and quickly set up a few tents on the plain, which were not luxurious.
Scottra led Sean into the largest tent, and Ed and the other guards were not treated so well. They usually have a tent of six to ten people, and the interior space of the tent is much smaller, except for sleeping together, only a small table can be placed.
Today was the third day of their departure from the Serge and Black Manor, and for the first two days they had been closed in their regular camping places, but today they had to walk on the steppe for five days in a row, during which they would not encounter any inns.
And God's sudden change of face caught them off guard, and they had to stay on the spot for a while, seeing that a rainstorm was coming.
Scott Knight smiled and asked, "How did you feel when you traveled for the first time?"
Sean thought for a moment and said honestly, "I'm tired." ”
Indeed, traveling is not a very fun thing to do in this day and age. There are no planes, no trains, no cars, no flat highways, and walking on the potholed grass can be a stumbling foot at any time.
For Sean, who has become accustomed to sitting in a comfortable chair and letting the transport transport take him to his destination, the long journey was a little attractive in the first two days, but then it was purely a matter of finding guilt.
There are three mule carts in the team, one of which has been designated by Scott Knight as Sean's exclusive ride.
Even if the knight himself did not enjoy this treatment, none of the more than fifty people complained.
The only reason is because Sean's current identity is a mage who knows magic.
Although this mage has only been able to cast a crappy spell so far, it is enough for him to enjoy the privileges of this world.
Scottmo rubbed the thick beard on his chin and said, "Take your time, you'll get used to it." ”
Sean nodded slightly and asked, "Why don't you take off the heavy armor on your body?"
"Oh, I'll have to go on patrol later, and I'm used to it in the wild. Scott shook his body slightly, and suddenly there was a series of iron armor crashes.
This set of iron armor is a complete piece of equipment for a knight to show off. In the entire manor, he is the only one who is a real iron guy.
During the past few days of walking, he had been carrying this heavy fellow on his back, and he seemed to be at ease, not at all dragging down. Such strength and attitude have also won Sean's respect.
"Mr. Knight, don't you think this armor is too heavy?" Sean asked casually, with a second glance.
"No, I'm used to it. Scott said lightly, and then said, "You have a good rest, I'm going to make a round." He walked to the door of the tent, hesitated, and said, "Due to the weather, we may have to delay for two more days, I hope you can have a good dream." ”
"Wait a minute, please. Sean hurriedly stood up, took out the short sword from his body, handed it over, and said, "Lord Knight, our family has been under your care and protection over the years, and you personally sent me to the capital of the principality. As a token of my appreciation, please accept it. ”
"That's not going to work. Scott looked at the short sword in Sean's hand, although there was obvious reluctance in his eyes, he still flatly refused: "According to the laws of the principality, it is my responsibility and obligation to escort you to Louis, so I must not accept such a precious magic weapon, please take it back." ”
Sean wasn't really a ten-year-old, so he could clearly see Scott Knight's desire, and of course he could feel his determination.
After these few days of getting along, Sean learned a lot about this world from the knight's mouth.
Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for these things to have anything to do with a farmer, so even in a knight's manor, most people only know a rough idea.
But under the introduction of the knight, he finally had a clear understanding.
In this world, the power of magic is supreme, especially on the battlefield, the damage caused by the magician is absolutely super powerful, as long as the magic is successfully cast, then a magician can definitely easily destroy a thousand-person brigade without a magician.
And with the increase of the level of magicians, the important surnames in battles have become more and more prominent, so for any country, magicians are the most precious and cherished resources.
Unfortunately, there are so few people who can become magicians, and only one out of a thousand people has the talent to practice magic. But among these people, the vast majority of them have spent their lives working hard, and they are only a magic apprentice, and only a tenth of them can actually advance to become magicians.
With a population of three million, the Principality has only one five-star Grand Mage and five ordinary Mages. Of course, apprentice-level magicians are not counted.
It is precisely because of the rarity and strength of mages that any country will pay a huge price to build magic towers for mages who are willing to serve the country.
The reason why Scott Knight looks the other way on him is precisely because Sean is completely self-taught and has been able to unleash a spell.
If Shaun can become the official magician of the Duchy, it will be a lucrative investment for Scott.
Even if Sean's talent is not good, he can only be a magic apprentice, he will not suffer. Because a magic apprentice who can craft magic weapons is enough to make anyone pay a huge price for it.
