After the priest left, the town of Dart was a rare calm for a few days, and although the Moses in the city were dissatisfied with the rule of the Imperial army, there was no more bloodshed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he has nothing to do, Zhang Feng will find Marven and pester him to teach him magic, although Marven himself has achieved a little success, but Zhang Feng can be said to have no foundation, and Marven has to patiently start teaching from the most basic fireball technique.

"Whew~" In the trial ground of Dart Town, Marven looked at a fireball in mid-air that was almost the size of an egg, and shook his head again and again, but Zhang Feng gritted his teeth, sweating profusely, and struggled to control the crumbling fireball.

The pocket-level fireball flew out less than ten meters away, and it was extinguished in mid-air with a "bang" again, causing Hammond and the others to laugh.

"Little one, you're a fireball or a candle, it's too small...... isn't it?" said Hammond chuckled.

Zhang Feng snorted coldly, picked up a magic wand given to him by Marven, and condensed the magic element again. But before the spell was finished, I only felt a dizziness in my brain, and I almost fainted to the ground.

"That's enough for today, Zhang Feng. Marven quickly dispelled his magic, held his shoulder, and said with concern: "Your mental power has been consumed to the limit, and it will not have any effect if you continue to practice, so get a good night's sleep tonight, and then talk about it." ”

Zhang Feng's face was as pale as paper at the moment, so he had to nod reluctantly.

"Alas~" Marven sighed lightly, this Zhang Feng's persistence and diligence are just like himself a few years ago, but unfortunately learning magic requires great talent, and Zhang Feng's ability to sense the magic element is even inferior to his own, and it is obviously extremely difficult to become a magician with such qualifications.

In fact, even Marven himself, if it weren't for the teaching of the Magister Hypatia, he would probably not have achieved as much as he has today.

"Brother Marven, I don't have no hope of becoming a magician~" Seeing Marven's solemn face, Zhang Feng hurriedly grabbed his shirt and asked timidly.

Marven smiled slightly and comforted: "No, Ah Feng, although your qualifications are a little worse, you have to believe that diligence can make up for your shortcomings, as long as you keep working hard in one direction, you will definitely be able to achieve something!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Feng nodded heavily, his face full of determination, "I must also be like you, to become a powerful magician!"

"Hey, you little one!" Hammond leaped lightly into the proving ground with a sharp force on his legs. His skillful posture attracted Zhang Feng's constant amazement.

"How's that, awesome?" Hammond smirked, "Little one, would you be interested in learning martial arts from me?"

"No!" Zhang Feng shook his head resolutely, "I want to learn magic, magic is even more powerful!"

was rejected so simply, Hammond's face stiffened, and then said with a straight face: "Let me tell you, little guy, in fact, the martial arts have been cultivated to the extreme, and they are not inferior to any magic, the average heavy knight can directly restrain the beginner magician, the paladin who can exert his fighting spirit can compete with the high-level magician, and the best among the paladins------ the phantom beast knight is so powerful that it is difficult to phenomena, even the legendary magistiner, when facing them, they have to retreat three points!"

"Phantom Beast Knight?" Hearing this name for the first time, Zhang Feng asked curiously, "What is that? Is it really that powerful?"

"Of course, you don't even know about Phantom Beast Knights?" Hammond shook his head, "It's no wonder that in a small place like the Principality of Morowing, ordinary paladins are already the top martial artists, and you have naturally never seen that kind of peerless powerhouse with superior strength!"

"Oh, I don't know what is so powerful about this phantom beast knight?" Marven also leaned over and interjected.

Seeing that Marven was interested in this topic, Hammond's eyebrows fluttered, "This Phantom Beast Knight, not only is his martial arts outstanding, but their mount is also extraordinary, it is a Phantom Beast summoned through the enchantment!"

Hammond has traveled to many countries on the mainland, and his experience is extremely rich, and at this moment he opened the conversation box and revealed the situation of the Phantom Beast Knight, "This Phantom Beast Knight's control of the Fighting Qi has also reached the realm of perfection, and he can completely arrange and combine the Fighting Qi at will, so that his sword can achieve an effect that is not inferior to any magic attack......"

"Ordinary human countries, because they don't have enough historical background, and the foundation of national strength is relatively weak, often the whole country can't produce a phantom beast knight, only those big empires that are strong enough to dominate the fate of the continent have the ability to cultivate phantom beast knights. ”

"So, the Holy John Empire should have Phantom Beast Knights, right?" The St. John's Empire, which has strong national strength, abundant resources, and many talents, is obviously one of the countries that is most qualified to cultivate Phantom Beast Knights.

"Of course!" Hammond nodded, and said in awe: "The empire never shows its elite combat power easily, but no one doubts the strength of the imperial warriors, it is said that the imperial marshal Rocherio is a phantom beast knight, and he alone can be enough to destroy an ordinary small country!"

"One person destroys one country?!" Zhang Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and exclaimed: "This is also too outrageously strong!"

"What's going on, little guy!" Hammond leaned down, approached Zhang Feng, and persuaded while the iron was hot: "Now you are interested in learning martial arts, martial arts are not only powerful, but also its threshold is much lower than magic, even beginners can have a certain amount of combat effectiveness!" The leader of the mercenary team looked at the stubborn child in front of him with an expectant face.

"Not interested. To his surprise, Zhang Feng still shook his head and refused without hesitation.

"Why, little one, can you give me a reason?" said Captain Hammond, feeling devastated.

Zhang Feng tilted his little head, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said word by word: "I don't learn magic exactly to fight, I also want to use it to do something meaningful." ”

"Oh, for example?"

"I want to use magic to eliminate the disasters and pains in this world, so that people will no longer have hatred and fighting!" Zhang Feng's big clear eyes showed an extremely determined look.

"Kid, that's so unrealistic, I'm afraid even the gods can't do it. Hammond couldn't help but hear this.

"However, Brother Marven can do it!" Zhang Feng dug his mouth and argued with an unconvinced face: "The army of the Pioneer Battalion has never killed innocents indiscriminately since conquering Dart Town, isn't this what he changed with magic?"

"Huh. Marven chuckled a few times and explained: "Ah Feng, I'm not that powerful, I just used mind control magic to turn Namans into my puppet, but that kind of magic can't change people's minds at all, and it has little effect on people with strong willpower." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "As long as people's minds do not change, then hatred and fighting will continue, and disasters and suffering will continue......"

"That'...... What magic can change people's minds?" Zhang Feng still didn't give up.

Marven played with the coin in his hand and stared into the distance, "I don't know...... But when we get to the Marne Federation, we might be able to find it......"

The quiet lasted for a week, and late one Friday night, the tranquility of Dart Town was finally shattered.

"Your Excellency Pioneer, something is wrong! The armed group of the church led by the priest was attacked by a large group of Moses thugs while cleaning the temple of Moses, and the armed group suffered heavy casualties, and the priest was taken captive!" the herald sent an urgent report with a panicked expression.

"What a complete fool!" Mance scolded unceremoniously as he pressed his temple, "Isn't it his own death to run to destroy the temples of those infidels?"

The herald was stunned for a moment, surprised by his chief's reaction, this is not his usual style, and after a while, he swallowed his saliva and continued: "Sir, the church asks us to send troops to rescue His Excellency the priest immediately. ”

"Let's go?" Mance snorted, "what do the Church's armed regiments eat? Aren't their Templars very powerful, why don't they send someone to rescue them themselves?"

"Sir......" the herald looked embarrassed, "Rescuing the priest is also the intention of the commander. ”

Manston lost his temper, and the herald, as if afraid that he would not believe him, handed over James' orders to him.

"Where has the priest been taken captive?" Mance asked mechanically, with blank eyes.

"Sir, according to the surviving members of the Church Armed Group, the priest is currently in the town of Iru, fifty kilometers to the northeast. ”

Mance nodded, "Okay, I see, you go down." ”

In the command post, Marven, Hammond and Rogge all sat on both sides of Mance without saying a word, and after the herald walked away, Rogge said with a solemn face: "We must rescue the priest as soon as possible, otherwise, the church will inevitably be dissatisfied with this vanguard camp, and it will definitely make things difficult to prevent us from going to the Marne Federation." ”

Several of the other mercenaries looked at Marven, completely oblivious to the presence of Mance, who had become Marven's puppet, which was already an open secret to them.

Marven pressed his temple with his right hand, without saying a word, frowning.

"Marven, maybe we can follow the method you used to save a few of us before, and send another team of elites disguised as Moses to blend in, and then ......" Hammond saw that he was still silent, and hurriedly said his suggestion.

But the Moses weren't stupid, they couldn't have fallen into the same pit twice. Marven shook his head and expressed his concern, "The Moses must have been more vigilant after suffering a big loss last time, besides, I doubt ......"

"It cannot be ruled out that these Moses who attacked the armed regiment of the Church were really strong, and they were very strong in combat, and it was estimated that they had infiltrated from the front, among which the Saracen Imperial army was the most suspicious, and they often did so. Without waiting for Marven to finish, Rogge on the side continued to speak.

"Well, this is also what worries me the most, this group of Moses is not simple, since they have the ability to take out the armed group of the church, it is obviously not something that a small force can deal with, and they have important hostages in their hands, which is very tricky. "As early as when he was in the Duchy of Morowing, Marven had profoundly understood the strength of the Church Armed Regiment, the elite of the Armed Regiment---- the Templars could easily be one to ten even when facing a large number of low-level warriors, and the armed forces that could control almost the entire army of the Church Armed Regiment were obviously not to be underestimated.

"It's not feasible to mix in disguise, because they're already wary of us, and because they definitely have high-end troop loadouts, including mages, and we're easy to see. ”

After hearing this, Hammond spread his hands and said dejectedly: "That hard fight will not work, even if we defeat others at any cost, but once those guys tear up the ticket, it is our ...... who will be unlucky in the end."

Rogge pondered for a long time, suddenly showed a fierce light, and said viciously: "Then we can retaliate by arresting the Moses priest in Dart Town, and then send heavy troops to suppress the border, and use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with those guys!"
