Chapter 63 The Journey II
Faust, yes, the end of Richard's trip is the legendary city of Faust.
Time is magical, and when Richard left the Black Rose Castle five years ago, Faust's entry into Faust was still just a crazy and bold idea of Gordon, and now the Akmund family is officially part of Faust.
The most popular long poems of the Holy League, the bards, are always filled with the exciting history of the arrival of such and such a family in Faust. Many families have to take more than a hundred years to prepare for Faust, and after the preparations, it still takes one or even several real heroes to emerge to lead the family to break through the blockade, through the long road of blood and fire, life and glory, and finally step into Faust, and take a solid foundation in the next few decades. It can be said that every family in the Ukiyo-e is a living epic. [Search for the latest update.]
It's just that here at Gordon, the course of a hundred years has been condensed into three years, and the original magnificent and magnificent huge poems have become high-pitched and impassioned arias that reach the clouds.
Richard was fifteen years old, and at the age of fifteen, he officially became a constructor. Gordon apparently did not ignore him, as he seemed, but had sent Mordred to fetch him to Faust early on, and apparently had some plans for his future. From the time Mordred arrived in Deep Blue, it was clear that Gordon was actually well aware of Richard's progress. And Richard already knows his father from many aspects, and he is no longer half-aware of it before.
Gordon's designated meeting place was Faust, which was not as simple as it seemed.
For the families of the Holy Alliance, entering Faust is just the beginning, stepping into that legendary city is just a ticket to the Game of Thrones, and there is still a long way to go if they want to grasp the right to speak and truly become a member of the top level of the continent.
Any new family that succeeds in entering Faust will have to face many exclusions and intensive attacks for at least a decade or so, both openly and covertly, and although there will be no shortage of such contacts between the old families, at least they are secretive and reputation-conscious. Therefore, the families that have successfully entered Faust in the past have strong enough allies in the City of Legends, so as to ensure that the families that have suffered a lot in the process of entering can survive the next difficult period.
In the last 300 years, more than 53 families have been officially recorded to have crossed the road to Faust, and 21 of them have successfully reached their destination, but the number of families in Faustri has remained at 14.
Richard didn't know how many friends Gordon had, but he knew that he must have many enemies. Akmund, who had just entered Faust, could be said to be embattled, and everyone he saw was an enemy. Now, only two years have passed, and it should have been a difficult time for the Akmund family, but Gordon was able to send his most powerful knights out to meet him, and he also brought two knights in costume as his retinue with extreme luxury, which only shows that Gordon has successfully stabilized the situation in Faust.
For Richard, the news was mixed.
On the first day of leaving Deep Blue, the team set out from the early morning before the sun had set, and did not rest until dusk, and lunch consisted of nibbling a few mouthfuls of dry food on horseback with cold water in a water bag. After more than ten hours of the long journey, Richard was already more than three hundred kilometers away from Deep Blue, and not far ahead was Mordred's intended resting place.
It's a small, nameless town that thrives on its proximity to the Empire's largest highway. There are less than 100 homes in the town, but there are as many as six inns, all of which apparently live on this road.
The long ride was very tiring, so when he rode the horse into the flat and solid road of the town, Richard's face was also a little tired, but his eyes were still shrewd, and the whole person still seemed to be energetic. The ironclad horse, which is known for its explosive power, was not good at long-distance treks, but after a day of running, it still walked steadily and was full of spirit.
Mordred and the two Constructed Knights were no different from when they set out early in the morning, except for a little more dust on their bodies. When needed, they can run at top speed for a day and a night, and the journey is nothing at all. However, the two costumed knights now looked at Richard with more appreciation, and Mordred said approvingly: "Richard, the horse is good, and you are not bad!"
They all knew that Richard was now only an eighth-level magician, and magicians were synonymous with physical weakness. Of course, this is not to say that the magician's body is really poor, but it is just weaker than the combat ranks, and it is still much stronger than ordinary people, and the more advanced the magician, the stronger the body tends to be. However, Richard is still only level eight, and his limited magic power makes it difficult for him to bless himself with state buff magic for a long time, such as the power of the bull, the agility of the wind, etc., so it is difficult to use much magic power during a day-long journey......
After a day's journey, they left the road halfway to save time or for other reasons, opting for a short path with hills and streams, and the bumpy ride was not a problem. Richard, who had not used any buff magic, should have been exhausted, but now he still looked like he had spare energy, and it was obvious that his body was much stronger than that of his fellow magicians.
This time, in addition to exercising Richard's actual combat ability, Mordred is also going to temper his physique and perseverance, but obviously, the originally planned 300-kilometer journey is a bit underestimated by Richard. However, it is not surprising that Richard has been carefully cultivated by a legendary mage for five years, and his body is strong in all aspects, after all, the mages produced by Deep Blue are known for being as strong as a bear, but how can an ironclad horse be so enduring?
Mordred looked at Richard's iron-armored horse again, and suddenly his expression moved, and said, "Richard, did you add a structure to this iron-armored horse?"
"Well, it's a primary-level construct that can reduce the consumption of the body and increase the speed of recovery. ”
"Vitality, I don't think I've heard of this build?" Mordred asked, a little surprised, as a high-level construction knight, even if he didn't know how to make a craft, he knew no less about construction than an ordinary construction engineer.
"It's not a standard build, but I've designed it myself, referring to some principles of magic and magic. As he spoke, Richard rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, and on his upper arm, there was an intricate and graceful pattern. "You see, I've added a vitality to myself, so that I can recover faster. ”
"Why don't you add one that can increase your combat power, such as those that can be equipped with supermagic effects?" Mordred asked with a frown.
"That was for later. Richard said, "Vitality can give me more time and energy to learn and practice magic, and in the long run, it will improve my overall strength even more." When I can carry more construction slots on my body in the future, I will consider building to improve my combat effectiveness. ”
Mordred stroked his beard like a steel needle, laughed a few times, and said, "You don't look like a fifteen-year-old child. ”
