Chapter Ninety-Eight: Meet All the Way North
After hearing this story, Lance and Ike couldn't help but start looking at the young and handsome bard again.
Brian seemed to be a little thirsty, and picked up his glass, gulping down the little ale that was left in the glass, but still a little unfinished smashing his mouth.
A beautiful waitress brought him another glass of ale with great interest, handed it to Brian with both hands, and "accidentally" touched Brian's slender fingers.
Brian smiled at her, not paying attention to the waitress's small movements.
After taking another big sip, he put down his glass, propped his hand on the table, and looked around at the crowd with puzzled faces, it was clear that they had not heard of Gianna Elegy, the singer of the twilight gods.
He smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.
"You don't know the deeds of Gianna Elegy, it's normal, just like you know the heroic stories of the continent of Kostana, but you don't know who wrote their stories, who sang their praises, and we bards spend our whole lives composing hymns and writing stories for others, but few people know our stories, and I know these things about Gianna Elegy because she is my teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher. ”
At this time, Lance, who was very puzzled, asked: "I don't understand, how can Gianna Elegy, just sing a few hometown tunes, defeat the army that has always been invincible?
Lance's problem also represents someone else's problem.
If a warrior or magician single-handedly struck into the midst of an army and defeated the enemy, they would still believe it.
But the fact that the bards, who had no combat power at all, were able to defeat the brave armies of the Northern Kingdom was somewhat subversive.
"Huh...... We bards, although we can't practice any offensive magic, but our magical hearts give us the ability to influence other people's emotions and fighting spirits, I wonder if when I chant the "Song of Legends", you have a feeling of blood boiling, wanting to shed your blood for the survival of mankind?"
Brian smiled mysteriously, as if he knew very well the effect of his chanting.
"This ......"
“......”
The crowd stared at Brian in amazement, something that was unheard of.
Lance pinched his chin, thoughtful.
If a poet with a magical heart really has such a powerful and special ability.
When you are on an adventure, you may bring some unexpected effects and surprises, and your heroic deeds can be written and sung by Brian......
Thinking of this, Lance entered his own fantasy again.
Seeing Lance like this, Ike shook his head helplessly, he already understood what Lance meant.
"Brian, if you count according to the realm of our strength, which realm should you be in now?"
Ike asked curiously.
Since Lance intends to partner with him, it is very necessary to find out the strength of his companion.
"Brother Ike, our bard division is completely different from the one you are practicing, but if you have to use that concept...... I think my current state should be ...... It should be in the high-level realm!"
Brian pinched his chin and thought for a moment before speaking in an uncertain tone.
"High-level realm?"
Lance and Ike exclaimed at the same time.
This guy in front of him is obviously the same age as Lance, but he has already reached the high-level realm, although he has no combat power at all, but if he can retreat from an army of thousands of people like Gianna Elegy, then his future and strength are simply limitless.
Lance sprang to his feet, looking around Brian's side as if he were looking at a monster.
High-level ...... High-level ......
At such a young age, how talented does this have to be?
However, when Lance saw Brooklyn beside Brian, he suddenly thought of Brian's evaluation of him just now, and he couldn't help but stop his eyes on the young and beautiful Brooklyn.
"Brian, then you just said that she is extremely talented, then...... That...... Is she as gifted as you?"
"Huh...... The most gifted genius I have ever seen in Brooklyn, and though she is not yet a beginner, I can feel her very active magical heart, a feeling that is exactly as described in some of the situations described in the teacher's codex, and I think she may well become a great poet like 'Gianna Elegy.'" ”
Brian said this, and put his arm around Brooklyn's shoulder.
His eyes were full of tenderness and anticipation.
And Brooklyn, who was hugged, was like a bird, snuggling up to him, looking particularly intimate.
This guy said he didn't do anything last night, and the ghost believed him.
"Brian, tell me, how old are you now?"
Lance asked with a sudden serious face.
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"Quick Answer......
"Uh...... Nineteen years old......"
"Oh my God, at the age of nineteen, you will reach the high-level realm...... Ike, looks like we're going to have to work harder!"
Lance looked at Ike with some frustration.
His talent has always been quite high, and his father, Candita, even thought at one point that Lance was very likely to be able to step into the threshold of the high-level realm before the age of twenty-five.
And this young man, who is only eighteen years old now, has now stepped into the upper stage of the Beginner Realm.
With just a little more grinding, maybe even sooner.
But......
Ay...... Without contrast, there is no harm.
"Yes, I have to work harder, and I'll call you to exercise every day from now on. ”
Ike laughed.
The guy finally figured it out, but then he was disappointed again.
Because Ike saw Lance's expression, he knew that Lance didn't want to do boring workouts with him.
"Forget it, as long as the matter here is resolved, I think we should go further north, where there will be more opportunities to exercise our abilities, and we can also add more mercenary tasks, which can not only make money, but also improve our strength and increase our knowledge. ”
"Well, that's an idea, I'm in favor of. ”
Ike replied.
Suddenly, Brian interjected, "Are you going north? Can you take us with you?" I've heard that there are a lot of legends over there. Wow...... Winter is coming, frost and snow cover the earth, legendary heroes, stepping on resolute steps, rising here, countless heroic spirits, through the snow and mist, the will of the warriors, need to be inherited......"
Brian's words were full of yearning.
"Well, yes, are you going to the north too?"
Ike replied.
"I think, I've always thought about it, but it's more dangerous over there, and we bards who have no combat effectiveness need to have strong partners together, otherwise it won't be fun to encounter unreasonable dangers. ”
That's true.
The Southern Kingdom has always been safe, although there have been occasional bandits and infidels incurring.
But they will be quickly suppressed by the kingdom's army.
However, this is not the case in the north.
The people there are fierce, and if they disagree, they will fight.
In the north, fists are the last word, and you can imagine how dangerous a bard with no combat power can be there.
Moreover, in the border area, there are constant military frictions, and from time to time there are Western infidels and demonic beasts in unknown ruins.
But that kind of place is undoubtedly an excellent place to experience spiritual practice.
There's even a mercenary paradise there - the Mercenary Fortress.
"That ......"
Ike looked back at Lance and asked in an inquiring tone.
"Hmm. ”
Lance nodded, then turned to Brian and said, "In two days, we will also attend the city lord's dinner, and in Kohima City, we still have some things to do, if you need to go together, I think you will need to wait a while." ”
"No problem, that's it, I think our journey to the north together will be very exciting, and I will also get a lot of story material from you, which is just perfect. ”
“......”
