Chapter 101: Border

"It's useless again, this sun god doesn't feel right, it's a bit different from the sun god in the church. ”

Kaichi flipped through the birch bark book in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

With the analysis and digestion of the Evil Eye's spiritual power, he can now be regarded as basically understanding the Yaandli script, but after looking through the books that were moved out of the basement, he did not find anything worthy of his attention.

Although he only watched a small part, it was enough to make people just get frustrated.

Although he is considered to be rough in Yaandli's writing, but he is not proficient, just like a person holding a Chinese-English dictionary and reading English articles, some places are still unclear, a little confused, his so-called reading is only half reading and half guessing level.

This is because his analysis of the spiritual power of the evil eye is not over yet, and he is sorting out the spiritual power of the evil eye, and he does not talk about the absorption of these mixed spiritual powers, so he can only be regarded as self-learning on the video, of course, the speed of self-learning has been greatly accelerated, and it is directly imprinted in his brain.

Jiayi rode an ox, went out from Akureyri, went all the way to the northeast, and came to Sakhalin Fort, which is a fortress in front of the small Sakhalin Ridge, and is the first line of defense on the border of the Silver Sword Empire.

Behind Sakhalin Fort is a mountain trail, the spacing is not wide, although Sakhalin Fort is not big, but it is enough to guard this path, there are not too many people here at ordinary times, only occasionally some small chambers of commerce will walk from here, take a shortcut.

Jia Yi came to the outside of the fort and was about to enter, but was stopped by the guard outside the city gate: "This mage, may I ask what you are doing here? The mage stationed here is Master Stone, let us inform you." ”

Jia Yi stopped Xiaoqing, it was the first time he entered the city and was stopped, he didn't expect this small border castle to be so heavily guarded, most of the time, the mage entered the town unimpeded, and the border city was really different.

Even such a small border town that is not considered a strategic location.

Jia Yi didn't get down on the back of the cow, he saw that someone was already leaving quickly, probably to report.

"I'm a mage who graduated from Longgen Academy, and I'm traveling through here and preparing to enter Karta from here, do you have any opinions?"

The guard who stopped Jiayi hurriedly saluted, but did not let Jiayi in directly, but said: "Don't dare, Master Master is in a hurry, we will introduce the mages stationed in the city for your lordship, Master Stone welcomes the visit of all mages." ”

The other party's armor is already a little old, and it doesn't look particularly bright, but it has a fierce and majestic momentum, and it looks like a team of soldiers.

Jia Yi didn't have to embarrass the other party, and waited on the back of the ox for a while, and saw a man in a robe from the castle riding a horse.

After the other party arrived, he stopped at the horse, and after seeing the mage badge on Jia's body, he immediately turned over in surprise and saluted Jia.

"Master Mage, why did you come to our little place?"

The person who came didn't look very old, and he looked about the same as Jiayi, but his strength was very average, just a mage apprentice.

Jia patted Xiaoqing's back, returned a half-salute to the other party, and said, "I am a mage from the academy who traveled and passed by here. ”

The other party was also surprised, Jia Yi introduced himself like this, that is, he had just graduated not long ago, at most a year or two, but looking at the mage badge on his chest, he was already a white-robed mage, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it, and there was some envy.

He hurriedly invited Jiayi to enter the city, and tried his best to invite Jiayi to the general's mansion in the fort, but Jiayi didn't like this kind of place, so he politely refused the other party and insisted on staying in the only hotel in the fort.

It is not a transportation area, and it belongs to the border, and there are not many people coming and going, and this small hotel is often not satisfied.

The other party arranged for Jia Yi to stay, and Jia Yi wanted to know some of the situation here, so he invited the other party to find a place to sit down, and the other party was also suspicious of a white-robed mage who suddenly came to the castle, and just probed Jia Yi's bottom.

After sitting down, the other party first introduced himself: "My name is Stone, I am the mage stationed here, how can you walk here, although there are often mages passing through the border, but most of them are walking in the big cities above, and the roads there are also better." ”

Only then did Jia Yi know that the person in front of him turned out to be the mage stationed in the city, but he didn't expect that the so-called mage stationed in the city was just a mage apprentice.

Perhaps Jiayi's expression was too obvious, and the other party explained: "This is just a small city, just to garrison a mountain path, and it is impossible to let a large army come here, so there are not many guards." I'm here, more just to operate the communication circle in the city, and if there is an enemy attacking, I will notify the nearby garrison through the circle.

"The terrain in the north is relatively flat, there are three big cities over there, there are more than forty small castles outside the city, there are more than 100,000 border garrisons, and the mages stationed in the cities there are the real mages, I am here, it is completely drawn by lot, I have to be stationed for three years, this year is the second year, and I can go back next year. ”

Jia nodded, he usually worked in the academy for too long, and his vision became a little high, in his opinion, the apprentice is not a mage, the knight is outside, and the technology is just a mage apprentice is also out of reach for many people, and the mage is already a rare commodity, not to mention the white-robed mage.

According to Stone, there are more than 100,000 legions stationed in the three northern cities, and there are only two white-robed mages accompanying the army, and most of the time there is actually only one permanent station. Most mages who want to cross the border do so from the Three Cities of the North.

"I've heard that there's a ruin in Akureyri," said Kaichi, "so I'll stop by and take a look, it's closer, so I'll pass by here." I like to go to less populated places, and of course, I want to see more scenery that I have never seen. ”

There is no hiding from the relics of Jiayi, anyway, it is empty now, and with Jiayi's current strength, he is not afraid of other people's coveting.

Stone smiled shyly when he heard this, and said, "I've also heard of this ruin, and I've looked for it, but I haven't found where the ruins are, but the animals in there are indeed quite abnormal and aggressive." ”

It's not far from Akureyri, and Stone couldn't help but look for it after hearing the rumors of the ruins, but unfortunately not only did he not find the ruins, but he almost suffered a big loss.

The mage apprentice does not have many means, there are few offensive spells, and the power is average, if you encounter a fierce beast that is not afraid of death, such as a wild boar or tiger, there is really no way to deal with it for a while.

When Jia Yi heard the other party say that he drew lots, he couldn't help but be curious: "Why do you still draw lots?"

"We are all apprentices of the Royal Academy, and the Royal Academy trains us, but when it comes to the apprenticeship of senior mages, we must also be assigned to various places to assist in things through lottery, which is also our obligation, so I was unlucky and was assigned here. ”

He is the only mage apprentice here, and although you have no one to take care of Qingjing, there is no one to ask for advice if you have any questions, and this is not a good place for Stone.
