Chapter 199: The Ranger
"Can my injuries really be healed?" Nicholas asked Witt.
Eric and the others followed the merchants on the road, and at this time they could see the gates of the Gray and White City.
Nicholas was in a much more cheerful mood since he knew that his strength could be restored, and he immediately told his grandfather about the incident with an "albatross".
The Empire of the Wind and the Empire of Dawn were two empires with very different customs, and Eric did not find any similarities between the two empires.
Due to its geographical location, the Windswept Empire is covered in snow all year round.
The Viku people who live here are naturally powerful warriors, and the harsh living environment has created a terrifying Viku people.
Eric didn't understand what a good ice resistance talent meant, but after seeing that these tall Viku people were all wearing single clothes, he understood.
Eric is a little better, after entering the Storm Empire, he added a cloak to his body, this cloak was sent by Minks, and it is said to be the standard cloak of the Storm Cloak Resistance.
There is a huge tornado pattern behind the cloak, fortunately in the Stormy Empire, if Eric appeared in the Dawn Empire wearing this cloak, he would definitely be sent to the gallows by the Imperial army.
"I can't tell that this cloak is quite warm, Minks is a good kid, I know I'm not very afraid of the cold, one cloak is enough to keep out the cold!" said Eric, touching the thick cloak on his body.
"Hacher!" Jack sneezed, then shuddered and tightened his bearskin coat.
Like Jack, Nicholas and Witt looked frozen and curled up in a corner of the carriage in their thick fur coats.
"I said Eric, can you give me that cloak, you see I'm frozen like this!" Jack was envious of Eric's cloak.
For some unknown reason, Minks gave Jack a bearskin coat instead of a cape.
"Damn the Storm Empire, no wonder Haydn laughed at us for not having winter clothes. Is this still the month of the furnace (i.e., September)? Isn't this the day when you should drink cold ale shirtless?"
Eric didn't expect Jack's fat body to be so afraid of cold, and after crossing the Hyfinga Mountains and entering the realm of the Wind Empire, Jack fell ill.
"You're a shame on the other fat people in this world, you're so afraid of the cold!" said Eric, laughing at Jack.
"You can't blame me, I've never experienced such cold weather in my life, I really envy those Viku people, you see, I'm wearing a leather armor, and I don't take the cold in my eyes at all!"
Look at the Viku people on the road outside wearing only a piece of leather armor. Jack's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
"Legend has it that the ancestors of the Viku people originally lived in the Far North, not in the Far North of the continent of Azuril.
Don't look at the fact that the Wind Empire is in the extreme north of the Azuriel continent, but before the Sea of the Undead appeared, the Atmura continent had not been separated from the Azuril continent, and the extreme north was the real cold.
At that time, adventurers who set foot in the Far North could easily freeze to death in the wild if they were not fully prepared.
Before they had even experienced the cold snap at night, their lungs had been frozen by the cold air!"
Werther, curled up in the corner of the carriage, slowly told everyone about these things.
"No, just breathing air can freeze your lungs. What a terrible place it is!"
Not only Jack shouted, but even Nicholas on the side looked at Witt with wide eyes.
Nicholas is much more honest now, and he doesn't know that his "dark pocket" is in Jack's hands, in Jack's words. It's that everyone has been looted.
Werther just shrugged his shoulders at Jack's shouting, and then said, "Actually, the coldest place in the Azurel continent is not in the Wind Empire!"
"Where is that?" asked Jack, curious.
"It's in the Winter's Castle, the northernmost point of the continent of Azuriel, where the snow doesn't melt all year round. The cold ground is harder than granite. Vitha let out a sigh of relief.
Jack and Nicholas's faces turned pale after hearing this, listening to Werther's meaning, the Winter Castle is even colder than the Wind Empire, but they can't even stand the climate of the Wind Empire.
"Damn. If my wizard strength is restored, I will be able to 'endure the circumstances'!" said Nicholas, thumping the wall of the carriage with his hand.
Eric on the side snickered, as soon as he entered the Rinfeng Empire, he began to learn to "endure the environment", and at his learning speed, he would be able to master this magic completely in a few days.
Eric looked at Werther with interest, and he found that Werther was a man of great knowledge, even more so than Haydn.
After all, Haydn was only running between the two empires, while Witt was running across the continent.
"Werther, how did you end up in that place in Beiya?" Eric had been tempted to ask.
Witt laughed at Eric's question, and then said, "I thought you wouldn't ask this question, alas, curiosity kills the cat!"
It was only after I stumbled upon the copy of "The Witches of Glen Morrie" that I became curious about the village of Beiya, so I tried my best to go there.
Who knows if people want me as a wizard to go there. ”
When Nicholas heard Witt say the word Glen Morrie Witch, his already trembling body trembled even more.
"I knew that I would have spent more energy on knight training, and wizards who have not learned to 'endure the environment' are really powerless in the face of the cold!" Jack sneezed again.
"Hahaha, don't worry, the teachers of Winter's Castle will grant you this wish.
A strong body is also very important for wizards, and you can't spend the whole day learning magic, so the teachers in Winter's Castle will arrange it for you!" Witt said with a few laughs.
Werther's words made Eric feel a little funny: "Oh, do wizards need to strengthen their physical fitness too?"
"Of course, the more powerful the magic, the higher the physical requirements, and magic is not something that can be unleashed without scruples with mental power alone.
Although shamans also exercise their bodies while meditating, this exercise is not enough for those who seek to be powerful.
When you arrive at Winter's Castle, you'll know that there are many wizards who have a higher knight rank than their own. ”
Werther's words completely overturned Eric's previous perception of wizards.
But Jack looks. Not surprised by what Werther said.
Seeing this, Eric couldn't help but ask Jack, "Did you already know about this situation?"
"Hmm!" Jack nodded.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Eric continued to ask Jack.
"Ahem... Cough... I didn't know you were a wizard, but when I found out you were a wizard, how would I know what to say to you if you didn't ask me questions about wizarding!" Jack replied.
"By the way, Eric, I think your physical fitness is very good, do you have the strength of a knight?" Witt didn't know that Eric had the strength of a knight, so he asked Eric.
Eric, who felt that there was nothing to hide now, immediately nodded: "That's right, I have the strength of a third-order knight!"
Eric's words made Werther's eyes widen: "No. You're already a knight, I don't think you're very old! It's not easy for you to have such a good knight talent and still make up your mind to learn magic!"
"I thought you'd pity that I didn't stick to the knightly path!" said Eric with a smile.
"That's a fool's idea, unless your wizarding talent is really bad or none, then a wizard is the best way out.
When you get to the high-level wizards, you will know that we can do the same things that knights can do, and we can still do what knights can't.
But when you can't go down the wizard road, you can still achieve something on the knight road, what an enviable qualification!" Witt said with an envious expression.
Just as Eric and the others were talking, there was a sudden vibration in the carriage. Then I heard the merchant shouting, "It's not good, it's a 'ranger', everyone get aside." ”
As soon as the merchant finished speaking, Eric and the others heard countless strange screams outside the carriage. And the howl of wolves.
Hearing these voices, Werther's face also changed: "Everyone wait and be careful!"
As soon as the carriage came to a stop on the side of the road, Eric saw a shirtless man wearing only a studded leather armor skirt sticking his head into the carriage.
Eric was the first to tell from his physical features that the man was a Veku, and the Veku's gaze rolled around the carriage. Then he reached for Eric's cloak.
"What do you want to do?" said Eric, holding the other's wrist.
Surprised by Eric's strength, the Viku man's expression froze, but then he shouted loudly and drew the hatchet at his waist. Slashed at Eric.
"I'll push you in the lungs, what kind of rhythm is this?
Eventually, Eric flew out of the carriage with the Viku man.
Just as Jack was about to go out, Werther grabbed Jack and said, "Don't go out, we won't go out, it's useless to go out with our strength, Eric is a knight chief, he can handle it!"
"Who the hell are these, and the Windswept Empire just lets them rob?" Jack asked Werther.
"These are also Veku, but they don't belong to the mainstream group, and as you know, the Viku people originally existed in the form of a tribe, and they have always been submissive to anyone.
The Storm Empire was built up after Joseph Gordon unified all the Viku tribes.
Despite Joseph Gao's prowess, there are still some Viku who prefer to live in the wild and do not like to communicate with outsiders, and these Viku are called 'Rangers'.
Even Joseph Gordon can't do anything about the 'Rangers', he can't do anything to his own people, so it's up to outsiders to conquer the 'Rangers' on their own!" Witt explained to Jack.
(Sorry, I'm a little busy at the end of the year, so the update is a little late!) (To be continued......)
