Chapter 90: Ann and Grace
In this way, Duanmu Huai entered the Manalia School of Magic as a student and began to study magic.
Of course, while he was studying, Lorena and Ogis were not idle, and they traveled around Manalia to investigate the situation in the country.
Duanmu Huai found that most of the countries of this era were basically equivalent to a large city-state, whether it was the Holy City or Manalia. In the case of the Holy City, the holy city of Toddheim is the political center of the country, and the largest number of people live in the large walled cities. Then, with the Holy City as the center, the road spreads out in all directions like a spider's web. It is then divided into agricultural areas where crops are grown, mining areas where minerals are mined, and so on, and the gathering places for people in these areas are small towns.
To put it simply, this era was basically a large city plus several towns to form a city-state.
The same is true of Manalia, except that it is a dual coreβββ Manalia Academy of Magic and the Royal City of Manalia are divided into two different separate cities, watching over each other. The small towns and districts between the two cities add up to the land area of Manalia.
Compared to the Holy City, Manalia has a larger land area, but it is limited.
What Ogis and Lorena need to investigate is the situation in Manalia, such as whether the society is stable, what stage of development it is, and what it needs if they want to trade with the Holy City......... Lorena was a missionary priest of the church, and she must have done it.
And Duanmu Huai has been studying magic in the Academy of Magic.
Manalia's knowledge of magic is still very rich, and their magic does have unique features, such as a technique called "Mana Amplification", which is very interesting. This technique can reduce the cost of late mana by using magic continuously.
The effect of translating into cards is that if a large magic spell needs to consume 100 psionic energy, then if the user uses the normal fast attack magic several times in a row, then the consumption of that large magic can be reduced through the "mana amplification" technique, or even to zero in one go.
To put it bluntly, it is to use small magic to attack quickly in the early stage, use the "magic amplification" to reduce the magic consumption in the later stage, and then instantly send several large magic with a consumption of 0 in one breath, and directly beat the other party without even knowing his own mother.
In addition, there is another type of magic called "Earth Secret Technique", which has the advantage of being steady, refining "Earth Fragments" through "Earth Secret Technique", and then increasing attack and defense capabilities all the time to ensure that you don't drop during the battle.
Of course, both of these techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the magic power released in the early stage of "Mana Amplification" is insufficient, and it is easy to be blown up in the later stage. But if you can save up to the late stage, then a wave of magic will blast over and you can only cry your father and call your mother.
On the other hand, the "Earth Secret Technique" is relatively stable, and although it does not have a large late-stage outbreak of "Mana Amplification", it can ensure that it has been in a strong position during the battle.
Duanmu Huai was also quite hesitant at first, but in the end he decided to learn "Magic Amplification", after all, for Duanmu Huai, he was not worried about the lack of defense and attack power in the early stage of "Magic Amplification". Maybe the thin mages in this academy need to worry about this, but for Duanmu Huai......... He did not need to worry about defense and insufficient firepower at all.
And here, Duanmu Huai relived the long-lost campus life.
That's right, the same campus life as before.
In the beginning, Duanmu Huai would cause a commotion wherever he went, and there were even cases where he went to the library to borrow books, but was used as a rampaging magic puppet by the students. Later, after everyone knew that he was a messenger from the Holy City, they didn't make any more jokes, but no one dared to come and talk to him.
After all, Duanmu Huai's height is there, and ordinary people don't look at it in front of him at all, plus the armor itself is scary enough, and taking off the helmet is even more scary, so everyone is respectful of Duanmu Huai.
But now Duanmu Huai has long passed the age of adolescent sentimentality, and he doesn't care.
Moreover, he is not without friends.
"Ah, I found you, Mr. Knight!"
Duanmu Huai, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, raised his head and looked ahead, only to see a brown-haired girl in a college uniform running over happily with her companions.
"You're here, I'll guess."
"After all, I'm too lazy to move places."
Looking at the brown-haired girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai also smiled and replied. The brown-haired girl in front of her was none other than βββ An, the princess of Manalia that Duanmu Huai and they had just met when they came here.
I don't know if it's because I'm a princess, Ann also takes care of Duanmu Huai, a guest who comes from afar, and the two sides get acquainted with each other. In Duanmuhuai's opinion, Ann is a lively and cheerful, and a little reckless girl. She is also very kind to people on weekdays.,The brain is also very smart.,I heard that her magic is also the first in Manalia...... This is not surprising.
And behind An was a pretty girl with short crimson hair. But the first thing anyone who sees her is the long tail and the bright red wings that emerge from under her skirt are almost as thick as her legs.
She's Ann's best friend, Gruya.
According to Ann, Grea came to Manalia to study in Manalia from another country on the continent of Manalia, the land of dragons. She is a hybrid of dragons and humans, and her father is the king of Ragnes, and because of her love for humans, she gave birth to Gurea and sent her to Manalia to study.
Compared to the cheerful and somewhat reckless Ann, Gourlea is a bit introverted and not very good at talking. So a lot of the time, it's Ann who speaks, and Gurella is mainly responsible for listening.
But Duanmu Huai has seen her.
That's ......... When it comes to resonating with the soul, what he sees is the battle between humans and dragons. At that time, it was Gure who fell from the sky. It's just that the ancient people at that time were a little more mature than they look now, and other than that, there hasn't been much change.
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
So, the princess who led the human race to fight and destroy the dragons is Ann?
Looking at An, who was chatting happily, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly, to be honest, just looking at the good scene of the two people in front of him, ordinary people probably couldn't imagine that the two sides would fight each other in the end.
Not only that, Duanmu Huai also perceived some contradictions from it.
According to Ann, although the relationship between humans and dragons is not particularly harmonious, it has not fallen to the point of hostility to each other. Judging from what he had seen before, it seemed that Grea was only slightly older than she was now, which meant that the battle should have taken place in the near future.
But why did it happen?
What went wrong that led to the start of war between humans and dragons?
"Mr. Knight? Mr. Knight!
β
Duanmu Huai was thinking, completely unaware that An was talking to himself, seeing that Duanmu Huai ignored him, An also stretched out his hand and tried to shake in front of him. However, the height gap between Duanmu Huai and An is too big, even if An jumps around desperately and waves his hand hard, he can't reach Duanmu Huai's chin. So angry An raised his finger and suddenly sent out a flash of light in front of Duanmu Huai.
"Hey!"
The flash flew by, startling Duanmu Huai, and then he came back to his senses and looked at An Zheng with bulging cheeks and looking at himself.
"Whew, what are you thinking? How do you get distracted? β
"Sorry, I'm thinking about something else......... Excuse me. β
"That's right, we two beautiful girls are here to chat with you, it would be rude if you were distracted."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, An nodded proudly.
"So......... Where's that? β
"Even before, I still want to hear your story, Mr. Knight."
"My story..............."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai smiled. He's here, and naturally it's not for nothing. At the beginning, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Ann asked Duanmu Huai to talk about his adventures, after all, both she and Gu Leiya are princesses, although it is not said that the door is not out of the door, but it is definitely not related to the adventurous life. Therefore, they also yearn for an adventurous life.
Of course, Duanmu Huai didn't mind this, you must know that he has experienced a lot of adventures in the game, and many of the tasks are very emotional, and they are also taken out to share with the two. Of course, Duanmu Huai didn't forget to explain to them about the Chaos Evil God, after all, the two of them were going to fight against the Evil God side by side with him in the future, and it wouldn't hurt to know more about them.
And for the story of Duanmu Huai, the two are also quite enthusiastic, and now during the daily break, the three of them get together to listen to the story of Duanmu Huaishui, which has almost become their daily routine.
"So, where did you come from yesterday?"
"The Smurfs can't go home, so they build a second empire!"
"There's a Second Reich out there."
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, you can't just say this, the loyal Smurfs don't have secrets, okay!
"Okay, so let's move on........."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai glanced at the wall next to him, and a humanoid thermal image came into view. Well......... It was none other than the one who had fought with Duanmu Huai before, Ann's guard, Owen.
Merely......... By the way, Your Highness the Princess, why do your guards look like stalkers?
