Chapter 292: Early Spring, Departure

February of the year 730 in the Aramaic calendar, the week of snowmelt and new shoots.

Grand Astrologer Spiller from Wulian City, Sijia District, Southwest Peninsula, completed the first phase of the perpetual calendar, which is actually the prediction of each climate week from 729 to 739 in the Aramaic calendar, which caused quite a stir at the forum.

At most, you can make a prediction about what will happen in the next week or two compared to the old method. This time, not only did we predict the ten-year period at once, but we also abandoned the original way of notation and used numbers in mathematics instead.

In this regard, the loudest protesters are, of course, those astrologers who are old and unwilling to learn and absorb new things. But the host of the perpetual calendar compilation is the most respected one of the astrologers in the Southwest Peninsula. Most of the astrologers of the Southwest Peninsula can be regarded as his disciples and grandchildren. Therefore, the opposition did not make any big waves.

In the first issue of the perpetual calendar, Lin bought a set when he was still in Wulian City. That was at the end of 728.

And the name of the climate week of 'Snowmelt Sprouts' is also the day when spring officially arrives every year.

The carriage was driven when it came, carrying more things than when it came, and the four horses pulled the carriage with ease. A spare horse, and the mule, followed the cart, not much different from the battle when it came.

In the past year or so, the biggest change should be these animals. Staying within the scope of the World Tree, any weed has energy and nutrients that cannot be matched by the outside world, which raises them to be fat and strong.

On the way out, there were some sections of the road where the trees grew densely and it was difficult for large vehicles to pass. When he came, he relied on Kalama Harang's ability to control plants, and when he left, he relied on Halumi, a member of the new family of turtledoves to open the way, with the world tree turtledove.

The harp's ability to control plants was the result of Finmo's modifications. In addition to Lin, who is a traverser, he likes to make magic props into weapons that can be attacked directly, such as magic guns, and wands with fireball magic; The main practice of enchanting a lost land is to attach some secondary magic, or some magic that would be useful in certain situations, but not worth the cost of using or remembering your precious powers.

Controlling plants is a kind of magic that most magicians only use on specific occasions. However, considering the original lines on the body of the World Tree Turtledove in his hand, it is most reasonable to add a magic to control plants on the premise of not destroying it on a large scale. There is also an enchantment that is the Energy Shield.

Of these two spells, the former is the natural pattern of the World Tree, that is, it has the ability to take shape; You only need to change the direction of the magic pattern slightly, guide it, and you can use it quickly. Compared to druids controlling plants, it is not much more convenient. And the latter is the main function of the natural magic pattern on the World Tree.

If you think about it seriously, this situation is quite normal, the World Tree has to span multiple dimensions, and in order to deal with the energy impact between different dimensions, its own protection must be quite thorough. It can be said that the magic patterns on the body are nine out of ten for this role.

The error that Waldwo missed in his previous promotion was also the result of ignoring the energy required for the World Tree to 'evolve' the magic pattern on its own body, which caused it to almost collapse. Fortunately, the ending was safe, and if the wood elves hadn't been sacrificed, it would have been a success.

In other words, this turtledove has been transformed by Fen's magic, in addition to being used as a war hammer to smash people, it can also cast magic to control plants, and as a shield to defend against energy-type attacks, and its own hardness makes it a shield to defend against attacks with general types of weapons. Of course, it can also be played as a musical instrument.

For such an offensive and defensive weapon...... Well, musical instruments, Halumi is in love with them.

Compared to the crooked blonde girl, her companion was much more normal. Within this year, Kaya was already proficient in using the apprentice-level magic of the Three Rings. And by virtue of the convenience of being in the scope of the World Tree, he has also accumulated enough power. As long as you find a branch headquarters of the Wizards' Association for assessment, it is not a big problem to obtain the qualifications of a full-fledged magician.

But for Kaya's promotion, neither Lin nor the girl herself was in such a hurry. Because the black-haired and brown-skinned girl wants to participate in the promotion assessment of the official magician with her companions.

On the other hand, the personal information of the Lost Land is not as convenient as the informatization of the government agencies on the earth, and the personal information can be retrieved no matter where people go. The promotion records of Master Lin and his apprentices are all included in the paper directory of magicians and magic apprentices of the Xijia branch council. When you get to a new partition, you have to log in and re-authenticate.

Of course, the recertification here will be a little more lenient for those who already have the qualification of a magician. However, the title of 'Great Magician' will be given very carefully.

The certification of magical apprenticeships varies by region. Some of the more stringent ones will require them to re-test no matter how many rings they have passed. The reason is also very simple, if you can pass once, you can pass the second and third times. The apprenticeship assessment is really not difficult for a formal magician.

In some areas, the apprentices are free to testify that as much as they say, the new district will register as much as they want.

It's not that there are no apprentices who have lied about their qualifications as magicians, in fact, there are quite a few such tricks. However, it is not the combat power of the apprentice that will necessarily lose to the official magician. At the moment of life and death, the coffin will only hold the dead, not necessarily the apprentice. After all, the masters judge heroes by the success or failure of actual combat.

But in general, it is still difficult for magic apprentices to obtain official magician qualifications from other districts. It may depend on luck, it may be difficult, but in short, it is not so easy. So the two girls were not in a hurry at all.

In the past, as a teacher, I would be entangled in what level of assessment the two apprentices had to pass before a certain time, in order to get the little subsidy given by the Magicians Association.

Now that little money, teachers are no longer eye-catching, so there is no need to force the two apprentices how to develop. What's more, as they get older, they are no longer children who need to be supervised behind their backs; If there is no Realization, this is the end of the achievements in this life. So somebody can just graze the cows.

Returning to the wandering journey, the blonde crazy girl is still running around the mountains and fields as in the past year, as if she has endless energy. The task of driving was taken over by Kaya.

The former Demon King still looked like a golden skeleton, and he stayed next to the first coffin all day long, as if he was analyzing something. But she didn't ask for help, and no one approached. It's mainly that I got up on it, and most of the time I can't understand what she's doing.

Kaya, who likes to do things quietly, has already sorted out the messy world map of the Lost Land Continent, and used the free time of the previous year. Even so, there are still more blank parts of the map than there are known parts. The vast expanse of unexplored wilderness illustrates the dangers of the world.

However, walking on the main road outside the Basque Country, you can see caravans coming and going from time to time, and mercenaries serving as escorts. A little intelligent monster would not make up for such a path, if it was just a sporadic beast, it would not be enough for these mercenaries who licked blood with their knives to sacrifice their teeth.

The caravan guards were mainly on guard against people who often haunted the road. The more common ones are orcs or gnolls, centaur and horse thieves, but goblins that are lost in the ground rarely appear. This is because the green-skinned dwarves are just bullying the villagers, and they will get cold when they meet heavily armed warriors.

Centaurs and gnolls are arguably the most enthusiastic about robbery among orcs. The former is the advantage of mobility, which allows them to choose the most relaxed lifestyle; The latter is a matter of nature.

So when Halumi ran back and said that there was someone fighting ahead, Lin's first thought was robbery.

In line with the principle of helping each other when the road is uneven, Lin asked Kaya to drive towards the spot indicated by Halumi to see if there was anything that could help.

It was a bandit gang composed mainly of orcs, mixed humans and gnolls, besieging a caravan of humans. The fight between the two sides was quite fierce, and it seemed that people had fallen to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. The pack beast that pulled the cart was either dead or had run away. There were also a few overturned cars, and the goods were scattered all over the place.

However, depending on the situation, the gang of robbers still has the upper hand. There weren't many human guards left to fight, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce who didn't wear armor were almost dead or wounded. It can be said that with a little more effort, the robbers will be able to slaughter the caravan's remaining resistance.

However, these orcs and orcs have a much better sensitivity to danger than ordinary humans. Fen may not have publicized her existence, but in the senses of some races, her mere presence triggered some kind of inexplicable warning sign. The half-orcs who seemed to be the commanders among the robbers quickly discovered the appearance of Lin and his party. Of course, the troika is too conspicuous to be ignored.

Lin originally wanted to help the caravan side and attack the bandits from behind. But the carriage carrying the goods is not used for charging into battle, and Lin doesn't think that unlocking these horses and letting the magician make a cameo appearance in the cavalry can exert much combat power. So they got out of the car and quickly got ready, eyeing the tiger.

It's a pity that someone just showed up, and the robbers made a decision on the spot, and they didn't even bother to clean up the corpses of their companions, so they turned around and ran.

Of course, Lin Ke wouldn't think that his aura was too strong, forcing the robbers to escape, and the golden skeleton beside him was the key. Regardless of the group of robbers who mistook themselves for necromancers, with a golden skeletal warrior; Still sensing that this golden skeleton was the most threatening existence, in short, they chose to retreat as soon as possible.

Moreover, there has been an indescribable strange atmosphere around this former demon king recently, and he sometimes feels uncomfortable, not to mention these very sensitive thieves.

Being able to solve things without fighting can be said to be the best ending, and Lin also took a breath a little. Although I hope that I will no longer be afraid of things, I am not so hard that I take the initiative to touch my head with my head, which is called stupidity, not bravery.

"Ahh They ran, chase it! ”

Yes! There's a fool with an iron head here. Harumi's mad girl chased in the direction of the robbers' retreat.
