Chapter Twenty-Four: The Great Moon Sorcerer's Silver Moon Castle
Starting from Baima Town, go south along the banks of the Hanshui River, pass through 3 villages, cross the Wuthering Valley, and then cross the Mianlong Mountain, and then enter the Huangshui Highlands.
Silver Moon Fort, located at the highest point of the Yellow Water Highlands, is the highest city in the north.
Shabol took Rosen and walked one after the other on a path paved with red gravel, each holding a roasted bright and burnt rabbit in their hands, eating and chatting.
'Quack Quack ~ Goo Du ~ '
Shabol chewed the rabbit bone and rabbit meat in his mouth and swallowed it in one bite.
"Rosen, I've told you all about Silvermoon Castle these days. Do you remember it? ”
Rosen also ate a mouthful full of oil: "Don't worry, uncle, I've already engraved it in my mind, and I can't forget it if I want to." ”
Xia Bolai was not at ease: "I want to test you." ”
"You ask."
"Then let me ask you, what is the emblem of Silvermoon Castle?"
"A full moon guarded by six stars. The full moon represents the Silver Moon Fort, and the stars represent the six towns scattered on the Yellow Water Plateau. ”
"Good. What is the full name of the owner of Silvermoon Castle? And what should I call it? ”
"Sophia. Morality. Omisia. Officially, it is called Count Omixia, or Lady Omixia, the Great Moon Sorcerer.
"Officially, you can call it Lady Omihia or Lady Silvermoon. If it is a private occasion and the relationship is intimate, you can call her by her first name, that is, Sophia. If the relationship is not close enough, the honorific title is Madame. ”
Shabol nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." Let me ask you again, what are the taboos in Silvermoon City? ”
"There is a curfew on the full moon day of each month, and it is forbidden to go out until the sun sets, even at home, and no loud noises are allowed, and violators are subject to a hefty fine of 1 kroner and 10 days of silence."
"Well, you remember in great detail. Any idea why there is a curfew? ”
"Because Silvermoon Fort honors the moon."
"Whether you are a mage or a samurai, meditating on the full moon day is the most effective way to increase your strength."
"And the people of Silvermoon Castle also need to perform moon worship to purify their hearts, strengthen their bodies, and fight against the evil creatures hidden in the darkness."
By this time, Shabolai had eaten a whole rabbit, wiped the oil stains from his mouth with his sleeve, and took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it to Rosen.
"There's 10 crowns in it, so don't drop it and don't be seen."
"Uncle, why do you want to give me money?"
Shabolai tightened the wrap on his back, raised his hand to put a shade curtain on his brow, and looked into the distance.
"In half a day, we'll be at Silvermoon Castle. When I get to the ground, I will report to my wife, and I will have a lot of work to do after that, and I will not have time to take care of you. During this time, you have to rely on yourself. ”
Rosen pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle, didn't you say that you wanted to introduce me to Mrs. as an apprentice?" ”
In fact, he hadn't thought about becoming the apprentice of the Great Moon Sorcerer for a long time, and after knowing the basic situation of Silvermoon Castle, he dispelled the last trace of illusion in his heart.
Now it's just a bargaining chip.
Shabolelo nodded a little awkwardly.
"yes, that's what I said. But Madame is not only a great moon magician, but also the lord of a city, and there are many affairs, how can I have time to teach you personally? ”
"Moreover, I cannot influence Madame's thoughts, I only promise to introduce you to her. As for what Madame will arrange for you, it depends on your own performance. ”
After a pause, Shabolai seemed to feel that he had broken his promise, and began to explain again.
"Rosen, you must understand that Madame has amazing achievements in magic, and is one of the few spell masters in the North."
"There are so many people who want to learn spells from her. It is a rare honor to be able to get a word of guidance from Mrs. ”
And to become her apprentice, even if it is only a registered apprentice, there are countless people who have broken their heads, and there are many rare magic geniuses. Got it? ”
Rosen nodded in understanding: "In other words, Madame has no shortage of apprentices, and the competition is extremely fierce?" ”
'Bang Da~'
Shabol snapped his fingers: "Yes, that's it. Do you know what to do? ”
Rosen thought for a moment and said, "Do your best to show yourself and win the approval of your wife?" ”
'Hum ~'
A slightly nasal laugh erupted from Shabolai's mouth, as if he had heard something funny.
Obviously, Rosen got it wrong.
He added: "Be honest, accept all the arrangements of Madame, resolutely do not cause trouble to Madame, and do the best I can where I can?"
Xia Bolai nodded: "That's right! ”
He turned around, tapped Rosen on the shoulder, and looked him in the eye.
"Rosen, Madame's time is precious!"
Especially in this extraordinary period, every word and decision she makes will affect the fate of many ordinary people.
"Don't add extra trouble to her, it's the best thing you can do right now."
"Extraordinary times?" Rosen grabbed a special word.
Xia Bolai grinned, "Every two hundred years, the barbarian races from the land of ice and snow and the volcanic plateau form a powerful alliance of ice and fire.
"They will hit the Valley of the Winds like a torrent. If they break through the fortress in the valley, it will wash away the entire golden land like a flood. Hehe, that's pretty ...... It's terrible. ”
As he spoke, Shapole had a smile on his face, but the smile was cold, and in his big eyes, there was a strange light.
Just like a soldier preparing to go to battle, there is excitement and fear.
Rosen was also silent, and secretly sighed in his heart.
"It's okay in troubled times. In the previous life, it was considered to be living in a prosperous era, although it was peaceful, but there was less passion. Since I have made up my mind to learn spells in this life, when I have learned it, I will be able to play it on the battlefield. ”
Shabolai was not a sentimental person and soon returned to normalcy and continued to make great strides.
Half a day's foot, placed on the earth can walk the dead, but in this world is the norm, Lawson is also experienced, every muscle in his legs is hard, especially strong.
After walking for many days, not only was he not tired, but he was also full of energy, and he even jumped up a little.
Half a day later, the outline of a city appeared on the yellow and green highland skyline.
The city was built on a gentle slope, and the buildings in the city were made of stone, wood, and earth. The more you go to the top of the slope, the more magnificent the building becomes, and the more you go to the bottom of the slope, the more simple the building becomes, until you reach the bottom of the slope, and it becomes a large area of simple straw huts scattered among the farmland.
And there are two things that stand out most about the city.
One is a river that passes through the top of the slope, the water is wrapped in mud and sand, yellow and clear, and it goes all the way down through the city, like a golden sword, splitting the city in half.
The other, however, is familiar, an obelisk that is eternally illuminated by the sun.
This stele is larger than the White Stone Castle, and the golden pillar of light is also thicker than the White Stone Castle, like a holy sword stuck in the ground.
Seeing Rosen's gaze at the pillar of light, Shabolai said something similar to Cyrus: "It is a God-given stone, which represents God's recognition of the authority of the House of Omixia." ”
"Hmm~ Baron Morey's White Rock Fort is also there."
"Yes, the Morey family is also a divine authority."
There was some complexity in Shabolai's tone, as if he was reverent, and he seemed to be a little emotional.
Rosen asked, "Uncle, what kind of existence is the Golden God?" ”
Xia Bolai shook his head: "How can mortals like us talk about the gods in vain? ”
"What does that impression look like to you?"
"In my eyes?"
Shabolai fell into thought.
After a long time, he spoke: "In my eyes, God is the supreme being, the guardian of the golden land. ”
"You can't see the true God in the mortal world, but you can see the Son of God. Each Son of God possesses supreme majesty, supreme power. In short, it is an irresistible existence. ”
"Where is the Son of God?"
"There are quite a few in the North, and the strongest of them is the Guardian of the North, the Master of Winterfell, the Duke of Ice, the Silent One, the Justice One, the Holder of the Excalibur Winter Sun, and Lord Saint Hyperion."
"That's a long name."
Xia Bolai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This prefix is short." His Majesty the Divine Emperor's prefix is called too much, and I can't finish it in three pages. ”
The two of them talked as they walked, and before they knew it, they had finished the rest of the journey, and the gate of Silvermoon Castle was close at hand.
Rosen sensed that Shabolai had become noticeably more serious, and seemed to be a little nervous.
"Rosen, do you remember what I taught you?"
"Uncle, you've asked so many times!"
"I'll see Madame later, and you must not drop the chain!"
"I know!"
"You repeat the names of Madame again."
"Uncle, are you annoyed?!"
"Huh~~~Huh~~~"
Chapole breathed heavily.
"You kid really don't know the sky, you don't know the wisdom and majesty of the Great Moon Sorcerer, she can see your heart at a glance, you know?!"
At the gate of the city, Shabolai stopped and began to arrange his clothes carefully, but he was not satisfied with any tidying up.
In the end, he simply stopped and took Rosen's hand and walked towards the tailor shop in the city.
"It's so dirty, we'll have to find a tailor to make a new outfit."
"By the way, you have to take a good bath, rub all the old mud on your body, and put on bath essence. Madame is the one who loves cleanliness the most, and must not get her eyes dirty. ”
"......" Lawson was speechless.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Madame's time is very valuable, and everything should be planned in advance. ”
"When I get to the hotel later, I'll have to hurry up and hand over the prayer note so that I can receive the summons sooner."
"I hope Madame has forgiven me for my mistakes...... I hope so. ”
Along the way, Shabolai chattered endlessly, like a little daughter-in-law who was about to meet her in-laws.
