Kurt sat in the carriage of the caravan, his identity at the moment was the mercenary magician escorting the caravan, behind the two dozen carriages, followed by three or four hundred refugees who had fled, making the whole team look very long and mighty...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:.

Everyone's destination is the core city of Winterwind Ridge - Sayo City.

"Your Excellency Cotte, depending on the situation, you will be able to reach Sayo City this afternoon, this newly built road is fast, even if it has just rained, don't worry!"

Tanzan, the leader of the caravan, was a very kind uncle, and he smiled and accosted Kurt: "Speaking of which, thanks to Your Excellency this time, if you hadn't beaten away that gang of robbers, we would have suffered heavy losses this time." ”

Kurt looked at the smooth pavement on which the carriage was traveling, apparently poured with a mixture of stones and some kind of magic coagulant, and did not expect such a neat pavement to be seen in a small place like Winterwind Ridge. Then he smiled and said to the leader: "Your Excellency Tanzan is a good person, and good people will naturally be rewarded. ”

Tanzan knew what Kot was referring to, he looked at the refugees behind the caravan, sighed and said, "I didn't do anything, if it weren't for the post stations along the way to receive these people and provide them with food and water, and medical treatment, I wouldn't dare to let such a large group of people follow the caravan." ”

Kurt sighed and nodded, what terrible things will hungry refugees do, he has seen a lot of them in the past few years, speaking of which, the person who rules the Winter Wind Ridge is really amazing, making this place a paradise in troubled times, no wonder there will be a steady stream of refugees gathering here.

Tanzan was obviously in the mood for Kot, and he pointed to a mountain not far away, and said, "Look there, it's the Magic Water Tower designed by Lord Moller himself! It was built by his enchanters, and it is said that it used the wind power of the Winter Wind Ridge to extract groundwater at a very low cost. With these magic water towers, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Winter Wind Ridge, and the refugees have land to cultivate here, so they don't have to worry about their livelihood!"

Kurt was very touched in his heart, he had always felt that the best use of magic was to improve people's lives, rather than to enslave ordinary people as inferior people like most magicians he had met before.

"Is that Moller a good man, then?" thought Kurt, and couldn't help clenching his fists—no, maybe this was just a glimpse of what was hidden in the place where the old man had no quarrel with the world had been taken captive!

Kurt used his eagle eye to see the guards patrolling the magic water tower, and thought that the guards were really tight, so he secretly warned himself to be more careful.

Finally arrived at the city of Sayo, the caravan was inspected and only paid a very low entry tax into the city, and the refugees who followed the caravan were guided by special guards to the garrison outside the city. The station is well supplied with medical and daily necessities. These people will go through a series of checks at the station to ensure that they are not carrying the plague and are not wanted fugitives, and after they have been registered, they will be properly accommodated.

After entering the city of Sayo, his gaze continued to stay on the magic tower in the center of the city, which could be seen from anywhere in the city--that was the 9th-order magic tower! That Mole had seriously injured a 9th-order magician by relying on this magic tower, and what this magic tower could release was obviously not an ordinary 9th-order magic, and its power should be quite terrifying!

Kurt became more cautious as a result, not daring to slack off at all because he was a high-level magician.

Three days later, Kurt stood a little speechless in front of the crowded high gate, the corners of his mouth drooping weakly - he had been careful not to reveal his true goal for three days, but he did not expect that the old man was famous in the city of Sayo, and lived in such a lively place, which did not match his imaginary scene of being held in a dark and heavily guarded prison!

The sign of "Qiming Library" hung directly above the courtyard, and Kurt was shocked to see many civilians coming in and out, still holding books made of parchment in his hands—he did not expect that civilians were allowed to study freely here.

When I walked into the library, I found that it was very large, with hundreds of shelves on display in rows, and at least hundreds of thousands of books were collected, and many people lingered during the period, whether they were nobles or commoners, they only needed to pay a few copper coins to borrow a book.

The old man wasn't here, and according to what Kurt had heard, he was at the back of the library, and Kurt walked through the rows of bookshelves with strange woody scents, and saw a small door leading to the back of the library, with a simple sign on the door that read "Magic Apprentice Registration Office".

As a high-grade philosopher's stone, Kurt could see at a glance that a ban had been placed on this low-key small door, and only those with magical powers could push it open. And when he opened the little door, he saw a very large square in front of the door, where groups of children and young people were gathered together, and many of them were trying to perform magic—all basic magic.

"Hello, sir, you are a new face, what is the matter with coming here? I can give you a detailed introduction with just one silver coin! Don't be too expensive, there are many rules here that outsiders don't know, and it will be difficult at first if no one introduces you......

A small boy saw Curt with sharp eyes and immediately leaned over to sell his services, and when Curt heard this, he decisively paid him a silver coin and said, "I'm coming to Mr. Marsh." ”

"It turns out that you also came to sign up as Teacher Marsh's apprentice, then you are here!" The little man accepted the money and showed Kurt the way with a smile: "Teacher Marsh is the best magic tutor here, just two apprentices have become official magicians, and they are ready to recruit two more people! There are only two places, and the competition is fierce, I have □□ news if you want to hear it, just pay another silver coin to increase the chance of being admitted!"

Kurt looked at this kid a little speechlessly, dispelling his idea of continuing to make money: "Lead the way honestly, just introduce this place by the way!"

The little man was a little disappointed, but he still dutifully made a silver coin introduction, he told Sù Kot, this is a place that specializes in cultivating talents with magical talents into formal magicians and magic warriors, providing rich learning resources, and there are many magicians who are good at teaching apprentices here as mentors, since its establishment more than a year ago, it has produced hundreds of official magicians and more than two hundred official magic warriors, which can be said to be remarkable.

The little man led Kurt to a small three-story building, in front of which there was a beautiful courtyard made of green wooden rattans, and in the courtyard stood a dozen teenagers, who surrounded an old man with silver hair, talking about something lively.

"Mr. Marsh!" cried Kurt, and the old man looked doing well, not only with a ruddy complexion, but also with a round of weight.

The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Kurt, and then burst into tears with excitement, and threw himself over with his arms wide open: "Oh, cute little Koko, when did you come back? I thought I would never see you again!"

Hearing this familiar nickname, Kurt was helpless for a while, and Marsh was very enthusiastic to introduce Kurt into the room, and at the same time introduced to the others: "This is what I often mention to you, my best apprentice Kurt, he was already a high-level magician when he left me to go out on a wandering!"

The dozen or so teenagers looked surprised, although Teacher Marsh was very good at teaching apprentices, they had always thought that the apprentice with advanced strength in his mouth was bragging, after all, he himself was only an intermediate strength.

"Today's activity is over, so let's study on your own. Marsh happily dismissed the apprentice, and then asked with a big grin: "What level are you now, and have you broken through?"

Kurt's face darkened: "Of course it's still the 7th order, how can it be so easy to improve the strength of a high-level powerhouse!"

Marsh introduced Kurt into the small building, and said, "Hey, if you came here last year, maybe you can break through! There are a lot of precious magic materials in Sayoucheng, and with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to make a big gain!"

"You're in a good environment!" Kurt looked at Marsh's room, the magic array set up here is not only very safe, but also can regulate the temperature and humidity, and the whole room is very comfortable, which is very suitable for an elderly person like Marsh.

"This is the house that Lord Moeller has given to the mentor of the apprentice, and I usually spend half of my time here. Marsh said, smug again: "But my real residence is a manor outside the city!"

"Manor, which nobleman invited you to be a worship magician?" Kurt asked suspiciously, although Marsh has intermediate strength, he doesn't know how to fight at all, as a life-school magician, his ability to serve plants is also very ordinary, so he has always run his own farm in a small place before, and no nobleman has recruited him.

"That's my own manor!" Marsh said loudly, feeling very proud to announce the news in front of his high-level apprentices: "I taught twelve full-fledged magicians last year, which is the most fruitful of all the mentors, so Lord Moeller personally received me, and rewarded me with a manor, a castle, and a lake, and the environment is very good!"

Kurt was indeed surprised: "I heard that little Hott said that you were captured by the people of Sayo City, and I originally came to rescue you, but I didn't expect you to mix very well...... Now it seems that little Holt deliberately made up the story in order to save me from the slave traders......"

"You mean little Hot, the miller's son?" Marsh couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he mentioned this: "At that time, there was a war, and the army of the Kingdom of Kitu could not resist the attack of the Shuiyang army at all, and I was going to go to the mountains to hide for a while, but the people of Sayoucheng came to recruit me, and a few days later, I heard that it had been looted......"

Kurt didn't want the old man to be affected by these things, so he asked about the situation in Sayoucheng, and Marsh was really interested, and he enthusiastically recommended the warrior training ground outside the city to Kurt.

Kurt said, "I've heard of this, but isn't that a place for advanced and lower manipulators to train?"

Marsh shook his head with an expression of "you are outdated" and said: "That was before, half a year ago, Lord Moeller transformed the warrior training ground, and it can already be used to test high-level powerhouses, I heard that the effect is good!"

Kurt saw that Marsh mentioned that Moeller many times, and he looked very admirable, but thinking about what he had seen in the past few days, what that man had done was also worthy of such admiration.

After a few days of consideration for Marsh, Kurt lived in his manor for a while, spent dozens of gold coins to experience the training effect of the training grounds, and learned about the favorable conditions for recruiting talents in Sayou.

Outside is the chaos of gunpowder and war, but this remote corner of the world is vibrant and thriving, and it is indeed a place that is easy to fall in love with!

This was Moller's third year in Zayo, and the entire Winterwind Ridge had changed dramatically under his stewardship, not only rich, powerful, but also fair and full of opportunities, and people like Marsh and Kurt continued to come here, and since then they have stayed and become the new blood that built the place.

At the same time, Moller did not let politics delay his enchantment research too much, and just as the year was coming to an end, the 9th order magic item he had been trying for a long time was about to succeed.
