Chapter 14: The Road
In the early morning, before dawn, after bidding farewell to old Tom, Ivan picked up a black suitcase in his left hand and a silver book in his right hand, and walked in the direction of the city.
"My master, since you taught old Tom that physical technique, why don't you remind old Tom and let him move out of Lenta City in time. The old ghost's voice reached Ivan's ears, and no one noticed.
"No, I don't. ”
Ivan knew that in three years, Lenta City would become a city of death, and the sooner he left, the better, otherwise after the incident, Old Tom, as the only person alive in Lenta City, would definitely cause a lot of trouble to the upper echelons of the empire.
But Ivan also knew that Old Tom would never listen to him, Old Tom was an old stubborn who missed the old very much, and after Lenta City became a garbage city, Old Tom obviously had the financial strength to move away, but he remembered that his own family had lived in Lenta City for generations, and insisted on staying in Renta City.
Now let him persuade Old Tom to leave Lenta City, not to mention whether Old Tom will listen to him with his stubbornness, and besides, he does not have any evidence to prove that there is a source of pollution in the garbage area of Lenta City, which is endangering the bodies of hundreds of thousands of Lenta City residents all the time.
Anyway, there are still three years before the death in Lenta City breaks out, and there is still time, there is always a perfect solution.
At the gate of the city, there were few people, and even the soldiers defending the city were lazy, defenseless, and bored and napping.
That's right, since the city of Renta, the city of garbage, became notorious to the empire, the nobles and commoners moved away one after another, not wanting to get close, and the caravans that promoted the economy never came to the door, resulting in a lack of materials in Renta City, greed and backwardness.
And the robbers and outcasts, the famous scourge of the empire, simply ignore the city of Renta, and completely treat the city of Renta as air, which also makes the garrison army of Lenta City, good steel rusty, sharp knives without edges, I don't know how many good men who are willing to throw their heads for the empire and spill their blood, even a robber has nowhere to cut, and the blood of youth has nowhere to be swayed, becoming a group of rice worms who have nothing to do and only know how to have fun.
The morning sun shone on the road, and under the respectful respect of the city lord Abu Tabubi, Arobis set off towards the imperial capital with eight students of the future Supreme Academy of Magic, including Hans and Ivan.
Aloobis squinted at the Lenta soldiers scattered at the city gate, and secretly shook his head, a group of rice worms eating rice, if they go to the battlefield, they are sending heads to the enemy, I really don't know how those bigwigs in the military department are embarrassed to ask the empire for so many gold coins every year.
After a day's journey, Ivan learned that the journey they had traveled was to reach the important city of Sorosolotan in the northwest after three months of walking lightly, and then activate the large magic teleportation array to reach the imperial capital directly.
"I don't want any accidents in the team before I reach the imperial capital, understand?" said Aloobis viciously to Ivan and the others.
"No problem, dear Mr. Aloobis. "The fastest and loudest answer was Johnny, the concubine of the commander of the garrison of Lenta City, who was originally in the Commander's Mansion, was bullied, endured white eyes, curry favor everywhere, and flattered carefully to survive.
Who knew that in this crystal ball test, the eldest son of the commander unfortunately failed, but Johnny, the concubine, had a unique mage talent, and since then the salted fish has turned over and raised his eyebrows.
Ivan understands Johnny's mentality, because of his poor background, he was bullied, and he was small at the bottom, and suddenly a big pie fell from the sky and hit him.
will make his psychology huge and inflated, thinking that he is the darling of God, and the previous hardships were all tribulations, and now he has finally risen. In addition to a kind of psychological expansion, there is also a fear of inferiority, afraid that all this is a dream, it is all an illusion, but at the same time, he will also strive to maintain this dream.
As a result, Johnny becomes a nasty person who looks high and low.
During the day's journey, Brother John became a servant of Aloobis, and he was so busy that he was obedient and comfortable, and he was praised several times by Aloobis and his pleasant face.
However, Johnny, who looked like a servant in front of Aloobis, put on a young master's stand in front of Ivan and the other seven, his face was full of the arrogance of a villain, and he looked at Ivan Seven with disdain, as if he was one level higher than Ivan Seven.
Among the eight students in the same group, Johnny was the least popular, and the most popular were the sisters Hans and Verina, and as for Ivan, he had just been completely ignored by a few people except Hans.
Ivan was riding on his horse, admiring the beautiful scenery on the road, when a timid voice suddenly sounded from beside him:
"Hello, my name is George Bayi, can I make friends with you?"
Ivan turned his head and saw that it was him, the little fat man with only five mental power, didn't think about anything, and stretched out his hand to him in a friendly manner, "Of course you can, you can call me Ivan."
I don't know if it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, the little fat man George was a little flustered, his fat fleshy hands were nervous, he held Ivan's hand tightly, and kept muttering in his mouth:
"Thank you, thank you Ivan, no one has ever wanted to be my friend, they all call me a fool. ”
Seeing that the little fat man's eyes were rosy and he was about to cry, Ivan was amused, and he patted the little fat man's shoulder with his hand.
At this moment, a sharp and mean woman's voice came from behind the little fat man: "A fool is a fool, and he doesn't even have the self-confidence of being a nobleman, and he will actually mix with such an inferior pariah." ”
Ivan didn't even look back, he knew who would say this, and he knew that after she finished speaking, another voice would definitely come out.
"Nasha, don't do this, it's rude. ”
Verina tugged at Nasha's sleeve and shook her head apologetically at the students around her.
That's right, the two people that Hanst Quan can bring are the Vilena sisters, Ivan wanted to smoke Hans more than once, and asked him if his head was in the water, who to choose, but to choose these two troubles, said that the vigilance was good, whether it was eaten by dogs.
George wanted to fight back, but he didn't know what to say, but Ivan said coldly: "Now everyone is a student of the Supreme Academy of Magic, if some people want to be superior, then we have to ask everyone here if they agree." ”
The voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by the surroundings, first Johnny, who was standing on the ground, and screamed: "Superior, Miss Nasha, you make me embarrassed by this." ”
Among the eight students, the other is a brother and sister, the two brothers and sisters are usually silent, even if they hear Ivan's words at this time, they don't have too fierce expressions, but after quickly raising their heads and glancing at Nasha, they lower their heads again.
"Alright. Finally, with a low cry from Aloobis, silence returned.
