Chapter 200: The Silvermoon Immigrants in a Trance
Compared to the children who first experienced the novelty of magic and flying, Herbert felt terrible as if he were crammed into a can of sardines.
This small wrecked ship can no longer be described as simply overloaded, even the deck is full of people
If it weren't for the two magicians above their heads still floating above their heads, I'm afraid there would have been a dispute a long time ago.
For example, if you step on someone else's foot due to a bump in the voyage, this is not bad.
Herbert saw with his own eyes that a lady could not hold back her retching, and the filth was poured directly on the head of some hapless child.
The child was stunned for a moment, but when he touched his head, it was a mixture of undigested rat, fish, and mushrooms, and his lips deflated, and then he cried out.
The child's cry naturally attracted the attention of the mother, and the instinct of protecting the calf caused anger to turn on the mother's face.
But she was about to speak, as if a breeze was blowing, and all the filth on the child's body and even on the boat floated into the river, and was happily devoured by the excited fish.
And the voice of Master Levi was also heard in the sky: "The conditions are a little difficult, please refrain from being patient, we are about to land." ”
Naturally, they didn't dare not listen to the magician's words, not to mention, to some extent, this one should be their city lord in the future.
The fate and future of all of them will be in each other's hands.
They have been at the bottom of the society for a long time, and they deeply understand a truth.
That is, never take the initiative to offend a superior person, even if it is just to cause the other person to displease.
It is very likely that when you are about to face a life-changing threshold and opportunity in the future, others will be able to brush you back into the quagmire of bullshit life and continue to roll around with just one disgusting perception.
Not to mention being a magician.
Herbert once heard his comrades-in-arms sigh: "Maybe a person with a good memory may not necessarily become a magician, but a magician, he must have a good memory of a thief, don't ask me how I know"
It must have been a sad and embarrassing story. Herbert thought.
Herbert took a deep breath of the air that had just become much fresher because of it, and just like that, he put his hands on his wife and the child who was looking at the dragon in the sky with envy.
Fortunately, the children in the family are still mature and sensible, although they yearn for it, but at least they are not stupid.
As soon as he got on board, he heard a child crying out to his parents:
"I'm going to be taken by the dragon too, if only I were an orphan"
As soon as the words fell, his parents came to a mixed doubles.
Even the two magicians in the head were attracted by this childlike speech, but in the end they did not intervene to stop it.
"Yes!"
Herbert smashed his mouth and thought to himself that if his own Anthony dared to say such a stupid thing, he would have to break the little rabbit's leg and have a new one with his wife
Xu is Anthony felt the coldness from the back of his neck, shivered, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his father's deep gaze, and suddenly his buttocks tightened, and he quickly diverted Herbert's attention and asked:
"Father, do you think I will have the opportunity to learn magic from those two Excellencies in the future?"
Herbert immediately hit the trick and said with a smile: "These big people have so many important matters to deal with every day, how can they have the opportunity to teach you this stinky boy." ”
Anthony asked the same question, but when he really heard his father answer, he was inevitably a little disappointed:
"But why did the Lord gather those orphans alone and conjure them up in a mansion to carry them? ”
"The mind of the superior is not something we can speculate. ”
Herbert also realized his gaffe, but he had no intention of correcting and making amends, in this cruel world, maybe let the children recognize the truth earlier, and they could be less tortured by society in the future.
After thinking about it, he still smiled and touched little Anthony's head, and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, your father and I still know some martial arts skills, and now your foundation has almost been boiled over the years, I will teach you them all when I go back, you study hard, go back and build a new city, I think of some ways to stuff some benefits, mix with a guard or do it, it should be quite comfortable." ”
This is the best way out in the eyes of Herbert and the vast majority of ordinary parents.
Because it is often a road that they have struggled out of all their lives, and they have not known how many original roads they have found out without many bumps in the road.
It is also one of the few life experiences they have.
If a child chooses a path that is completely unfamiliar to them, they will not be able to help much.
When little Anthony heard this, he also glanced at his burly body that had become burly since he was a child because he had helped with farm work, and sighed.
I thought that with my own body, I didn't look like a magician.
I don't know how long later, Herbert, who was in a trance with his wife and children around his hands in this crowded and noisy environment, suddenly heard the voice of Lord Levi in the sky:
"Mind you, the ship is about to drop anchor, you are all on your feet, and our new territory is about to arrive. ”
Hearing this, Herbert's spirit was shocked: 'Is it finally coming?'
He instinctively looked towards the distant riverbank, but the crowd in front of him was crowded, and he couldn't see it at all.
With the fall of the anchor jingle bell and a dull clang, the ship finally came to earth.
But just then, Herbert suddenly heard the incomprehensible whispers of the crowd in front of him, such as:
"What the hell is going on, there's nothing here, and besides, there's ice everywhere. ”
"Maybe it's not built here yet, isn't that city close to the mountains on the schematic map we saw?"
"But there's nothing on the other side of the mountains. ”
"We've been deceived, not to mention the town, there's not even a port, how can we go ashore?"
When Herbert heard this, his heart sank incessantly, and when he squeezed through the dense crowd to the side of the ship, he was stupid.
As far as the eye can see, it turns out that it is not someone else's exaggeration, but really nothing!
It's a wasteland, no! something isn't quite right here.
The surrounding area is a crystal clear ice and snow, and even Silvermoon City, which is further north, has not yet snowed.
And the place where their ship docked at the moment was an impact zone formed by a huge crater, as if it had been smashed by a meteorite falling from the sky.
But I didn't know that it was the strange scene that was blasted out by the ancient silver dragon silver wings that were mistaken for cultists when he first came to the Northland.
It happened to be used by Levi as a future port of deep water bay.
Herbert was a little difficult to accept this fact for a while, and wondered if his family should have really been deceived.
At this moment, the silver dragon in the sky also flapped its wings, set off a strong wind and slowly descended, carefully placing the mansion full of children on the ground, and then couldn't wait to fly towards the east.
Before leaving, he seemed to glance at Lord Levi, who was waving at him.
Seeing this scene, Herbert suddenly reassured, "Yes, since the children were escorted by the guardian dragon, then at least it proves that Lord Levi is not a traitor." ’
This is important, as long as the Lord is really going to build a city in this place, then it is nothing.
When he once went to the northern farms to open up the wasteland, didn't he have nothing?
But not everyone can have his kind of open-mindedness.
Many of them had previously run their own small farms in the Northlands.
And this kind of disparity that once had nothing and then had hope and then failed expectations is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable.
Although the vast majority of people dared not speak out, after all, there were people who lost their minds and confronted the Excellency:
"Lord Levi's! You can't do this! Didn't you say that the city is being built? But what is this now, you have failed our expectations, you have deceived us!"
Levi replied indifferently and calmly: "The first phase of the city has indeed begun at the foot of the Griffon Mountains, if you think I have deceived you, then you can leave, Calvin will send you back the way you came." ”
He didn't even say something as childish as 'you go and don't come back.'"
The words of mediocrity, why should you be angry, it is inevitably too narrow-minded.
The man was still unwilling to ask, "Can you provide us with free food and lodging while we are refugees?"
Levi showed a faint smile, glanced at him, and then looked around at everyone:
"This reminds me that what I want to tell you here is that in Zeelandia, everything has a price, and there is a payout.
"Before sunset today, you must set up your tents, and the territory will provide you with 'free' food, but only if you work and contribute to the construction of the city. ”
The man forced his frustration and said, "Then please send us back to Silvermoon City, at least in Silvermoon City, there are already tents that can protect from the cold, if the first snow falls, the Supreme Mage leads the Silvermoon Knights to sweep away the orcs, maybe we can go back to our farms!"
His words immediately resonated with many people.
yes, maybe I'll be able to go back.
But Levi poured a basin of cold water: "Don't blame me for not warning you, Silvermoon City has little chance of the Northern Expedition this year, even if you recapture the Northland Farm, do you still expect the orcs to have mercy on you and leave you something?"
This was the conclusion that Levi had come to after meeting with Erastro and the Silvermoon Dragon Mother.
They are more than successful, but they are not enterprising enough, otherwise they would not have been so long, and they would not have even taken down the endless wilderness.
This may be the common problem of most immortal species.
They have a lot of time to steady.
But Levi had a human soul.
In the case of moderate risk.
He's seizing the day!
Hearing this, many people who were thinking about it lowered their heads again.
Indeed, with the predatory habits of the orcs, if time permits, even a chicken will not be spared!
What will be left behind will only be a piece of devastation.
Eventually, a fifth of them began their journey back with the ship
Levi knew that with their departure, messages about his 'Elven profiteer Levi' and the desolation of the new city were bound to spread throughout the Northlands.
At that time, there will be an endless stream of businessmen who come to him to redeem the intention money.
Isn't that what Levi wants?
The redemption payment is considered a renunciation of ownership of the property.
According to the complicated but full of text traps, the business contract is comparable to the devil's contract, although it is promised that as long as the buyer has the intention to refund, the seller needs to refund unconditionally.
The problem is that the collected funds have already been invested in the construction of the city.
If you want to return the money, you can return one person a day, and everyone will line up
You don't see the blue star's little yellow car deposit refund has been queued for more than three years?
Hehe, but when the new city of Minas Tirith is built, there will be times when they cry.
The Herbert family watched the ship gradually sail against the current into the distance, and for a moment they did not know whether the choice they had made was right or wrong.
And the children who had just been excited to emerge from the magic mansion looked at the barren and desolate land, and they were also in a trance and at a loss.
"Dirt ~ Dirt Dirt Dirt Dirt Dirt ~"
At this moment, there was a sudden whistle behind him.
People instinctively turned their heads to look, and they saw four long steel beasts coming in quick succession.
"Oh my God, dear, is that a car? But why are there no horses?" asked Herbert's wife, sighing.
Herbert also saw such a strange thing for the first time, and then smiled bitterly: "Marcola can't move such a steel beast, I think it may have something to do with magic." ”
He suddenly felt that maybe this time his choice was the same as the last time.
And he didn't guess wrong, the steam locomotive was galloping very fast, and the heavy dead weight and the modified wheels directly broke through the ice and stopped in front of the surprised crowd.
Especially when they suddenly found that the brow of the locomotive parked in front of the children had been temporarily added to the nameplate
I don't know what it means exactly.
It was only after the group of children got into the car that they noticed that there were many blue slimes on the car.
They took out a lot of pamphlets from the cockpit and let them be distributed to each of the novelty children one by one.
Kevin opened the blank booklet on the cover, and on the title page was written "Letter of Intent to Choose Foster Families" in large letters.
And the pamphlet seems to have been enchanted as well
"Do you really need to be adopted?" Kevin muttered, "What does it mean to just choose intentions?"
And this thought became clear as he turned it back.
It turned out that on each page was the details of a family that had moved to the new city and was willing to adopt them.
It includes the name, age, and occupation of the head of the household
'Wait!
'Why are there two professions?'
Occupation: Hoag Mining Didi Miner Level 8 Bard
"Are you still an adventurer?" Kevin was surprised.
And as he flipped it was even more astonishing.
And it's not an isolated case!
There is no ordinary person in this!
He even saw a minotaur mixed in, what the hell was it?
Name: Wren Bloodhoof
Age: Thirty-eight
Class: Hogg Mining Security Guard Level 16 Shield Warrior
Choice intention: Gymnastics physique is good, can afford to endure hardships and toss
Level 16 !!
He had heard from his father that Jero, the deputy head of the Silver Moon Knights who was familiar with him, was also a level 15 warrior!
Just when Kevin felt a little ruined.
Behind him came the exclamation of the big Ralph, "Oh my God, is this true, and is there any magician willing to adopt us?"
"What?" Kevin jerked back.
"Really brother, you turn back, there are really magicians, and there are more than forty of them. The younger sister Anna on the side also looked incredulous.
Kevin looked directly at the book in his sister's hand, and was shocked to see the large, eye-catching bald head on it.
Name: Fischer Taylor
Age: thirty-five
Class: Leader of the Zeellandia War Wizards, a level 13 red-robed mage and a level 6 arcanist
Note: Majored in plastic energy spells
Choice intention: smart children who are not afraid of baldness, girls are preferred.
Kevin turned back unconvinced, and then saw the next mage:
Name: Iggy Joseph
Age: Forty-one
Occupation: Director of the Arcane Institute of Zeellandia, a level 11 mage, and a level 4 Nether arcanist
Intention to choose: More than 98 samples of intelligence assessment and pass the perseverance test, need to pass the second round of interview
At the end of the flip, he even saw an orc!
Name: DeRoru Lanteriso Frostwolf
Age: forty-eight
Class: Hoag Mining Didi Miner Level 12 Swordsman
I am not evil, welcome to this family, choose our family, you will have countless brothers and sisters!
Kevin was in a trance for a moment, only to feel as if his past fantasies were shining into reality.
But he was still quite sober, and there was a clear hint in large letters on the last page:
Please choose your second, third, and fourth choices carefully, not everyone has the qualifications to become a mage.
Volunteer intentions will be gradually matched according to the two-way selection, and the unsuccessful candidates will be regarded as obeying the adjustment.
Kevin stood up and looked around at the friends who seemed to be glowing in their eyes, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling.
Maybe in the near future, there will be a real magician among them
And even if they don't become magicians, there are too many paths for them to choose from.
Originally, he was just a title in the magical mansion that held their vision: Yun Wei might one day really live up to that title and not be reduced to a joke.
In the past, their son inherited his father's business was already a relatively smooth choice.
And now, so many options are in front of them all at once.
Instead, they were a little confused.
"It's not what I thought it would be," Kevin muttered.
"yes, it's like a dream. Anna chimed in.
Just as the children in the carriage were excitedly making their choices.
The mages who were still meeting in the Hogg Mining Building in the Dark Realms and the first people to be screened out.
They also had a dozen pieces of information about the children in their hands.
There is a lot of fighting over the two-way choice of adoption
