Sitting in a luxuriously decorated but uncomfortable carriage, when the sun had completely set, Mo Yan, who had been busy all day, returned to the Thornland Mansion.

It's just that now his two legs, like bent into a U-shaped compass, can only move off the carriage with strange steps, without the usual relaxed and freehand appearance, and from behind he looks like a duck.

It's been a week since I signed up for equestrian training at the academy.

Every morning, Mo Yan would report to the academy on time, and then spend a whole day on horseback, changing horses and not changing people in circles in the racecourse.

And even when he was on horseback, Mo Yan's ears and brain would not be idle at all, and the middle-aged knight who rode with Mo Yan kept telling everything about the horse.

From how to determine the age of a horse by looking at the teeth in the mouth, what kind of forage to feed when it is, how to take care of the horse when it is pregnant, to what kind of disease the horse has to show and so on, it is completely an encyclopedia of horse breeding.

Mo Yan once asked this equestrian instructor what is the relationship between learning riding and understanding these, and generally speaking, isn't this something that only servants who take care of horses need to understand?

And the result is that he was sprayed in the face by the middle-aged knight, and it is obvious that in the opinion of this middle-aged knight, if you want to really learn equestrian skills, understanding the needs of horses is the most basic requirement. If you don't take care of your own mounts and leave everything to others, you can't really connect with the horse.

In this way, Mo Yan sat on horseback for a week, and suffered for a week. On the first day, with the help of the knights, he dismounted from his horse. Whoever has never ridden a horse for a day will not feel good on his thighs.

In the days that followed, although the abrasions on the inner thighs had long since recovered, the hallucinations left by the long-term pain were still clearly imprinted in his mind, making Mo Yan always feel that something was torn on the inner thighs, and his walking steps were deformed.

However, the price is worth it, after a week of continuous learning, Mo Yan has now ridden decently. Instead of not being able to grasp the direction of the horse as at the beginning, you can only let the horse choose to go and stop by itself.

Fortunately, the horses in the academy horse farm are all trained mares, otherwise Mo Yan might really have to taste the pain of being constantly pulled off his back by the fierce horses.

And every evening after learning to ride, Mo Yan would go to the Mage Association. Find Angel for a magic book, and by the way, see if the old mage has returned. But the old mage seemed to be missing, and the room was always unoccupied.

And when I asked Angel if she had any news about the old mage, she found that she didn't know more than herself.

From Angel's words, it seems that the old mage has always been like this, and occasionally disappears like this for a long time.

Proficient in elemental powers, he also has a deep understanding of space. Using the teleportation array of the Mage Guild, he was able to send himself to a distant destination, but because there was no high-level magic circle in the local area, he could only walk back slowly in a carriage.

If you want to find him, you can only wait slowly in the Mage Association, and there is no other way.

Knowing that the old mage was in such a situation, Mo Yan mourned for his apprentice for three minutes, how could a mentor who loves to run around have the opportunity to learn.

Because on the way from Kari to Giza, Mo Yan had basically learned the mainland language, and there were almost no obstacles in reading. Mo Yan's reading speed is very fast, basically half a night is a book, in this place full of hand-copied books, Mo Yan thinks that opening a printing shop may be very profitable.

When reading a book, you occasionally encounter some magic-specific terms, which can also be written down at once. When I asked Angel when I was changing books, after knowing the specific meaning of the words, the words in my mind were coherent.

Through these basic magic books, Mo Yan already has some understanding of the so-called magic power.

It may seem backward, but there are actually many things that surpass scientific research. It's just that these are two different worlds after all, and there are some non-scientific things, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

From the first time I met the old master, he mentioned the so-called six powers. Although this abbreviation is very similar to the cliché name of selling strong pills on the street in Mo Yan's opinion, it is actually very apt.

Water, fire, thunder, earth, light, and darkness, these six powers are the most powerful of elemental magic, and they are also the basic power of other magic, so they are generally the main direction of regular mages.

The entrance assessment of the Mage Association also tests the mastery of these six powers. If you're just an apprentice who understands the power of basic magic, and only fiddles with something similar to a trick, you obviously can't really be called a mage.

And the so-called magic elves are like the relationship between flame and oxygen, and if the flame wants to burn violently, it cannot be separated from the combustion of oxygen. Magical spirits, which are almost ubiquitous, are the basis for the use of magical power and one of the materials for releasing magic.

The mage establishes communication with the magic elves through chanting, and then uses some special methods to transform them into magical power and release them.

"It's a pity I don't have talent. The more he learned about the magic of magic, the more eager Mo Yan became to master the use of this power. can really rub out a fireball like in the game, and no normal earthling can resist such a temptation.

However, just as all talents will not be monopolized by one person, after coming here to be inexplicably strengthened and obtained a magical self-healing ability, Mo Yan was unsurprisingly ignored by the magic elves.

He couldn't feel the magic elves floating in position, and he didn't react to chanting from the books.

So after reading so many books, Mo Yan felt that it was time for him to stop.

Since you can't become a mage, then don't let yourself see those magical powers, otherwise jealousy and resentment will breed in your heart, and eventually force yourself into a monster.

As a condition for watching these magic books, Mo Yan is also telling Angel about some knowledge of the earth, but there is never a specific system. I always think of it, and when it comes to that, today it may be some physical principles, tomorrow it will be some simple and easy-to-understand chemistry, and occasionally some small experiments will be done.

And through mutual learning during this time, Mo Yan learned that Angel, this girl who doesn't seem to be big, is actually an archmage with the same status as Gula, and what she studies is time.

So some of the theories of time that Mo Yan said became what Angel was most interested in. The grandfather paradox, which is most famous on Earth, and the parallel world theory, seemed novel to her, and she had thought about it before.

She let Mo Yan look at the hourglass in her room, which was a strange appliance that Mo Yan noticed the first time he came. And until today I know that it is the most precious thing in this room, a tool that proves that time can be mastered.

"My research is dangerous. Angel always said, "If it is proved that time can be controlled by mages, then any empire will see mages who wield this power as a threat." This will involve the survival of their empire, and even if history is changed even a little, the future will be very different. ”

"If you kill the original emperor who founded the empire, then the entire empire will cease to exist. "Mo Yan, who has read a lot of books and books that travel through time, understands the danger of this power very well.

However, even such a dangerous force would not stop others from exploring, although he did not see it with his own eyes, Mo Yan knew that Angel would not stop Gabe. As mentioned in the Basic History of Magic, many learned archmages have ended up on the path of wanted in pursuit of knowledge, just because they can't stop themselves.

Mo Yan, whose world view has been refreshed, no longer dares to underestimate this seemingly backward world, and the power controlled by many people here is not something he can understand at all.

And when returning to the mansion from the Mage Guild, Mo Yan would occasionally take a detour to Iron and Fire to see the progress of his weapon.

Kru steel is a very difficult metal to melt, not only because of the need for temperature, but also because of some material issues. The old dwarf wanted to make a few pieces of Kru steel into such a delicate long knife, which required great arm strength and patience, and this kind of thing could not be rushed.

And the result of often running to the blacksmith shop is that Mo Yan is familiar with the girl who watches the shop, and occasionally brings her some small gifts, so that she can help herself urge Lao Olli and speed up the production progress of the long knife.

The old dwarf who is not stupid, not long after Mo Yan left that day, he knew that he had fallen into the radical method, and he originally planned to drag it down all the time. It was the girl who helped to maneuver in it, which made the old dwarf reluctantly continue to build, and it would take a day or two to get the long knife.

After Mo Yan, who got off the carriage, entered the mansion and saw Camos waiting at the door. Before Mo Yan could say hello, he directly pulled out Mo Yan, who had just come back, and directly got into the carriage and took Mo Yan to a nearby tavern.

As a tavern in the upper town, the situation here is not chaotic, the interior is quite elegant, and there is even a special band for the entertainment of the guests who come to drink here.

The elite of the empire stayed here drinking and whispering something to each other, and some women in special occupations were noble as noble ladies, shuttling from seat to seat and talking to guests. Although the end result is the same, the process is much more elegant.

A tavern with all sorts of people, both of which are great places to gather information, but apparently Camos doesn't mean that.

"Today Barcelona found me and he mentioned the identity of the girl. Camos, who had not said a word all the way, finally spoke after ordering a glass of mead, "When she first came, I remember you reminded me that she was the silver dragon in Kari City. ”

A complex environment is a good cover, the music and the sound of conversation in the tavern, no matter how good your hearing is, as long as you don't get close enough, no one can hear what the two are talking about.

He should have suspected that kind of food. Mo Yan was not surprised that Camos, he could accurately guess what he meant, the two already had a tacit understanding when they were on the road, and when he mentioned that Klugang made such an expression again, it was enough to explain everything.

"Yes, I really don't know what she thinks, how can she really keep it a secret if she doesn't hide her inhuman appetite. Camos said with some concern: "In the afternoon, Barsaro found the priest and did a lot of things in your room with the silver dragon. Although he suspected that he was going in the wrong direction, it was not a way to go on like this. ”

"Are you afraid of angering that silver dragon?" Mo Yan asked.

Camos nodded, this was what he was most worried about, he needed to find a chance to dispel Barcelo's suspicions, otherwise if he did something to displease the silver dragon, then maybe everything would be in trouble.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Mo Yan said indifferently: "If it was her own leakage and her identity was exposed, then I wouldn't be to blame." Besides, the silver dragon is not an evil dragon, at least they will still have some principles, maybe after her identity is revealed, she will take the initiative to leave?"
