Chapter 4 on the road

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was just dawning, and many people had already gathered outside Nanyun City. Today, the two selected reserve magicians, as well as the young master of the Mengqi family, will follow the convoy to the imperial capital Burning Sun City.

The team escorting the three children to the imperial capital was not simple, it turned out to be an army of knights composed of more than twenty people. You must know that in the Mandala Empire, any true knight has the right to talk to the nobles on an equal footing.

The kamikaze has settled the relationship in advance, and the captain of the escort team, Takizawa, is now also a knight of the Lionheart Knights. He had always admired the former paladin Monchi-D-Kamikaze, so he also agreed to take Ace to the imperial capital.

"After going to the Imperial Capital, you go to find a dwarf named Ari Stark, he is a superb forger, he is very famous in the Imperial Capital, it is not difficult to find him." Kamikaze said as he helped Ace get dressed.

When Kamikaze was farewell, he also began to be a little reluctant, for fear that his son, who had been weak since childhood, would be bullied all the time in the imperial capital.

The knight of Takizawa on the side gave an extremely standard imperial military salute to the kamikaze, and said, "Dear kamikaze commander, please rest assured, I will definitely deliver him safely to the imperial capital." If your son is bullied in Sun City, I will definitely help. ”

Kamikaze nodded gratefully.

Ace was also full of reluctance at this time, after all, he went to the imperial capital this time, and he didn't know when he would come back next time. The road is really long, if you don't be able to mix in the imperial capital, you won't have the face to come back to see your father.

In the midst of a farewell sound, Nanyun City sent away the escort army sent by the imperial capital.

Seeing that the team was getting farther and farther away, Kamikaze withdrew his gaze, turned to Butler Roque beside him and said, "Let's go, go back and write a few letters to a few old friends who haven't seen you for many years." ”

Luo Ke said with a smile: "It seems that the head of the regiment is still not worried about the young master." ”

Kamikaze scolded with a smile: "You know my mind best." Also, the title of your regimental commander needs to be changed, after all, this is no longer a knighthood, and it will still be called a knighthood in the future. ”

Roque touched his bald head and said, "There's no way, I'm used to shouting in the Knights, I really can't change it." Besides, this Nanyun City is not the imperial capital with many rules, and no one will take care of these outdated etiquette. ”

The two teased as they returned to Nanyun City.

Ace, who was sitting in the carriage in the distance, looked at the scene around him that was gradually beginning to become barren, and felt a trace of desolation in his heart.

Hasa, who was sitting opposite, was looking at him coldly at this time, and said with a slight sneer: "What, scared?" I'm afraid that I won't protect you when I go to the emperor and be bullied by me? ”

Ace didn't respond to his senseless taunts, still staring blankly at the scenery on both sides of the road.

Hazah said coldly: "It's too late to regret now, I advise you to jump out of the car and run back to your cozy nest." Don't regret it when you arrive in the imperial capital, it's too late! ”

Takizawa, who was escorting the convoy on the side, said sharply: "You give me some points!" If you dare to cause trouble along the way, then I don't mind throwing you in the middle of the road! ”

Seeing Takizawa's serious strong killing aura, Hasa knew that he wasn't joking, so he immediately closed his mouth and didn't dare to say another word.

You know, a few kilometers further on, it is really a barren mountain, where there are many hills and mountains, and many wild beasts live in them. After all, he was not a true magician yet, and it was impossible for him to fight the beasts.

Ace subconsciously touched his chest and found that the mysterious book he accidentally discovered yesterday was still there. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this was a relic left by his mother, and it was extremely important to him. Ace was afraid that his father would see things and think about people, so he didn't take out this book.

And such a mutilated book doesn't matter when you think about it. It's just that why the mother hid it, it's not known.

Of course, he also carried a few books on casting techniques with him, which he prepared to pass the free time during the long journey.

The other apprentice magician in the car was a little boy who didn't like to talk much. During the last magic measurement, he had an induction with the fire magic stone, and he was expected to become a fire magician.

At this time, he was intently looking at the book in his hand, which seemed to be a classic book about various medicinal materials.

The boy didn't seem to care at all about the two peers next to him who didn't look at each other.

Ace was a little curious about this curly-haired black-haired boy, because he had lived in Nanyun City for more than ten years and never seemed to have seen him. It wasn't until three days ago that Ace saw him for the first time while testing the magic in the square.

Seeing that the road was long and boring, Ace asked the black-haired boy, "What is your name?" ”

The boy did not look up, but just lowered his head and continued to read: "Arak Lovesky." ”

"How come I've never seen you?" Ace was curious about this.

The boy paused, as if thinking of something, and then closed the book: "I have always lived alone in the slums of Nanyun City, how could you, as the young master of the Monchi family, go to such a dirty place. ”

It can be heard from the tone that this guy doesn't seem to be very interested in all the nobles.

"The Loveskis? I used to follow my father to sort out the household registration of Nanyun City, but I have never heard of the Lovesky family. Ace still didn't give up on this.

The young man, who called himself Arak, said: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and when I was a child, I relied on the neighbors around me for help. I've been living on my own since I was eight years old. ”

Ace hadn't spoken yet, and Hasa on the side said in a weird way: "It's really good at bragging!" Supporting yourself at the age of eight? Who do you think you are? ”

Although he didn't say anything, Ace did not believe it in his heart. You know, what skills can an eight-year-old child rely on to earn money to support himself?

Arak said in a cold tone: "Since I was eight years old, I would go to the barren mountains outside the city to look for herbs and fruits, and then sell them to the merchants in the city. ”

"It's really outrageous the more you talk about it! Can you distinguish various herbs at the age of eight? Do you think you're a genius like me? When Hasa said this, he glanced at Ace, who was sitting opposite, and suddenly showed a provocative look on his face.

Arak did not rush to defend himself, but picked a flower that resembled a sunflower from the side of the road, handed it to Hazah and asked, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Hasa looked disdainful: "Isn't it just a sunflower, even a five-year-old child knows that you have something to show off." ”

Arak shook his head and said, "This is called the Golden Carat Flower, also known as the nemesis of plants, poisonous!" ”

As soon as he heard that the flower was poisonous, Hazah's face immediately changed in fright, and he hurriedly threw the flower out of his hand.

Hasa glared at Arak viciously, "Bastard, are you trying to kill me?" When I become a magician, I must teach you a good lesson! ”

Takizawa sneered: "You haven't really started learning magic yet, and you're already so arrogant?" ”

Hasa was very afraid of this majestic knight, and when he heard this, he did not dare to refute it.

Takizawa glanced at Arak with appreciation, and it was obvious that as a knight who was about to go to battle, he naturally knew something about all kinds of plants in the wild. The kind of flower just now is indeed a golden carat flower that is often used in the army.

Although this kind of word is poisonous, after being refined and detoxified by alchemists, it can be made into a hemostatic medicine, which is very effective in stopping bleeding.

Unexpectedly, at a young age, Arak already knew how to distinguish medicinal herbs.
