The past two days have not been very good. I may change it, and my phone will also change it...
In fact, although they are the so-called mentor and apprentice in name, the relationship between myself and this Asari mage is not actually that deep, right? It's just that the latter appreciates me a little.
He was just given a chance. As for those he received later in the academy, including the appreciation from Archmage Albert, they should actually have relied on his own abilities.
So, is it worth thinking so much about her, planning so much, maybe even... paying so much?
It should be worth it.
Since that guy will become an obstacle to me no matter what, it is natural to pull it out perfectly. And being able to get the help of a genuine high-level mage is of course a pleasant thing for me.
necessary means
Edward shook his head.
Or, those are just excuses.
In fact, just before the hourglass mark, when facing those two terrifying monsters, I didn't seem to think about giving or receiving at all... I just simply, instinctively, didn't want to let myself know
A person, and a girl at that, just stayed in that dangerous environment.
This sounds like a blind choice without any foresight. An impulsive result?
It's not very similar...
Forget it... Now that the results have been produced, is there no point in discussing these?
He shook his head again and threw that unreliable thought out of his mind... This time, what happened was originally a hasty choice, so no matter what the result was, it was not very surprising.
Or the rumor that the twin goddesses of destiny are always fighting each other is true, so after the biggest bad luck dissipates, luck will continue for a while... The trip afterwards went smoothly. At least, the magician did not seem to try to send someone treacherously.
A bunch of monsters, or you can chase these two fish that slipped through the net yourself.
The crown prince intends to rebel and usurp the throne. This kind of thing is enough to mess up the protection of the entire palace. With Asali's identity, she can already come and go in the palace freely, especially at this moment, Prince Bert, who is the mastermind, has restrained himself.
His Majesty the King's palace involves a lot of security forces, so the two or three kittens who were staying in the place where the courtiers originally stayed naturally have no intention of causing trouble and asking about the whereabouts of a high-level mage.
This luck lasted until I met the two ladies.
I think everyone has not forgotten what some people have done before. So...well, what was originally a simple question is a little more troublesome - the staff lady who doesn't know why is busy in the room with two hourglass scales,
I just slept with a sore waist and knees
The half-elf with dazed eyes came out, but accordingly, her pretty face was already flushed, almost dripping with blood. When she walked out of the door, she gave someone a big white eye, and then turned her face away with such force that she almost
That slender and beautiful neck was broken.
As for the half-elf lady...
"I'm going to kill you Edward, we just slept together, where did you deceive another woman? And it's another one like this...**! Damn it, could it be that you..." Looking at Edward, the female mage
The outline of the mountain covered by the robe but still vaguely visible turned around, and Miss Lisa immediately let out a scream with gnashing teeth. If the staff lady hadn't grabbed her waist, she might have rushed up and bit her.
.
Although he had known this result for a long time, Edward couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"Don't mess around, this is mine..."
"I know, are you planning to turn all the women around you into your women? So, this woman is also yours, right? Bastard, bad guy, rotten egg..." The little girl's eyes suddenly turned red.
Lin stood up, his voice also filled with tears: "I don't want you."
"Please be quiet."
Facing the little girl with arrogant teeth and claws, the female mage's exquisite and beautiful face still showed no emotion. She just raised her gaze calmly, and as soon as her eyes touched her, the girl's scream suddenly became mute, and the vicious summary of the name was followed.
, and I can’t say anything about it.
"This is your friend? He's a very interesting little guy. It's just a pity that I'm just his mentor." She said, turning her eyes to Edward. There was a bit of teasing in it, so the psychic could only nod his head.
As for the half-elf lady, I don't know what she suffered from being mute... so she was extremely cautious and could only stare at the plump curves that the female mage's black robe could not completely cover for a few times, but in the end she did not speak anymore.
No matter how uncomfortable the words were, just when he rubbed shoulders with Edward, the soft flesh on someone's waist was severely eaten by several dragon grippers.
…
When the surrounding scene finally changed to Edward's mage tower, a line of fish-belly white color had already illuminated the plains of Burgundy in the distance.
The ups and downs of the night finally came to an end, but there were still some aftermaths, and it was still going on - the fatigue in his heart made the psychic sink his body into the thick fur of the stone chair, but his spirit seemed to
But he was extremely active, so with a low sigh, he lowered his eyes and started a new round of thinking.
The most important question is, what is that guy named Thomas pursuing?
Among evil guys, there are many who take pleasure in brutal killing and creating disasters, but they are not all evil, not even the mainstream... The truly efficient evil ones pursue power and efficiency, and "evil" is just a means.
It is definitely not the purpose, and evil is not simply doing evil things. If those guys who enjoy doing evil things are investigated at their root, most of them are just murderous lunatics or third-rate hooligans.
In fact, egoists who pursue power and use everything to serve themselves are often the most solid force for evil. Even if some of them have not done any bad things - it is obvious and can be proven
And those who were actually involved.
This Master Thomas should definitely be the latter.
It's just that the throne of Tuminis is not an attractive thing.
First of all, this is a standard feudal country. The power of the entire kingdom is not concentrated in the hands of the king. To a certain extent, His Majesty the King is just a duke who can call on all the dukes. The rights he controls, such as
Talking about taxation, recruiting soldiers, leading nobles, etc. are just decorations in front of a mage.
Therefore, even if that guy can really control the king, he is still far away from controlling the country.
What's more, the power of the nobles is not enough to control the country.
The existence of the Mage College has greatly reduced the functions of various regions in the country... Even though the mages do not have the power to enforce administrative laws, their power allows their opinions to be easily adopted, thereby influencing the political situation. - The mages
The power simply exceeds that of the army, and the law
The amount of gold used for experiments alone in the master tower exceeds the national treasury inventory. Every powerful title, whether it is a duke or a baron, has at least one or two spellcasters around it. In this way, it can be said that the entire kingdom has control over it.
In the hands of a mage, it is not an exaggeration.
Therefore, Edward is not worried that that guy will really do something big... unless he holds the position of dean of the entire college in his hands.
The six great mages of the academy, and their respective hundreds of apprentices, amount to more than a thousand to nearly two thousand mages, accounting for almost one-third of the number of official mages on the mainland. And this does not include those scattered in Tumi.
The armies of the Kingdom of Nice, the government and the nobles, and the mages from the academy. If these spellcasters were gathered together, how powerful would they be?
No one knows.
In other words, if the spellcasters are serious, it will not be difficult to conquer the entire continent within thirty years...
But, is that possible?
…
Edward went through complicated calculations about this matter in his mind, but in the end he found that what he knew was still not enough to clear away the layer of fog covering these matters, so he sighed and simply pushed it to the back of his mind.
Finally, he reached out and took off a space bag from his belt.
This is the collection of the Archmage. There are not many things in the scroll box, but the quality is indeed very good. Edward found two marked with immunity to energy damage, as well as a spell reversal... and a rainbow light spell.
wall.
Edward brushed his fingertips over the soft leather. The subtle marks and the wonderful magical sensation made his fingers tremble.
Three seven-ring scrolls and one eight-ring scroll, these are all treasures.
A high-level magic scroll, regardless of the type of magic, is still priceless, because transcribing the scroll is like alchemy and requires the use of the most precious metals in the world, as well as gems-gold, fluorite, and azurite.
Not to mention things like agate, just copying a spell consumes a lot, not to mention the most necessary specialized materials for casting spells.
In addition, arcane magic of seven levels and above is a considerable amount of wealth.
Once the spells are upgraded to this level, they are no longer common knowledge to the public. Although Tuminis is nicknamed the Shadow of the Magic Kingdom, there are still many spells among those seven-ring spells that are widely used in Tuminis and even the entire world.
They are all unique to some famous mages and form their own sect. The great mages have their own
Jane rarely makes her unique spells public to the public. Except for a few large organizations like the Magic Academy that can organize internal communications, most spells only have a name and a brief introduction in the files. Some of them only have a name and a brief introduction.
Spells even appeared only a few times in history and then disappeared.
In addition, there are three five-ring spells in this scroll box, which are relatively practical magics. If these scrolls are taken to the academy, there should be a lot of mages willing to exchange them for some rare treasures.
So the problem is that for a while, Edward didn't know how to choose between saving his life and wealth.
What a sweet torture.
Fortunately, the soft footsteps in the tower freed him from the torture, and two people, one tall and one short, were already standing at the door.
"Your Excellency Lord... It's great that you are back. We have found some troublesome situations. We want to report to you."
The psychic warlock raised his brows and noticed that not only the half-elf Meliane, but also Baroque Yeyu beside him had a rare serious expression.
"We discovered Blackhawk's changes, Lord." Meliane nodded lightly: "They have made a large movement of troops. According to the guy covered in bark, the Eagle family is gradually
An army was mobilized, the number is unknown, but the number of elite knights and heavy infantry in the middle is about two thousand, and judging from the mobilization, the target is probably only us."
"Two thousand people are about the same as our guards. This Duke is really courageous..." Edward smiled. It seemed that some spies in the Louvre were more efficient than he thought.
"But Edward, I have to remind you that you don't have many fully armed warriors now." The dwarf casually took a bite of the duck leg in his mouth and sucked off all the remnants, and then said, "The blacksmiths here are too much.
I am so clumsy that I have to work hard for a long time to make some iron chains for chain mail, so I am afraid that the first batch of chain mail shirts will not be completed until the end of the month."
Edward's brows tightened a little.
"It's a pity that this place is too far away from our hometown. Otherwise, I could just call some guys from Copper Hall or Furnace Castle. I guess this small amount of work wouldn't be a big deal," the dwarf thought for a moment and sighed.
——His ethnic group is famous in blacksmithing. Naturally, everyone knows it.
But Edward just lowered his eyes and turned a blind eye to this suggestion.
In fact, with his current ability, it is not difficult to recruit a group of dwarves to this city. Less than a thousand miles northwest from Burgundy, he has entered the area of the branches of the Central Mountains. Some wild dwarf tribes are
Settling underground or nearby there, as long as the half-elf priest memorizes a few teleportation spells and brings Baroque Yeyu as a guide, it will not be difficult to find them.
But the question is, is it necessary... The number of soldiers he can recruit is actually only about two hundred, and the number of soldiers will not exceed a thousand. There is no need to prepare more than this number of armors and weapons. For this little thing
It takes a lot of effort, but the gain outweighs the gain.
Besides, dwarves are not without their shortcomings, and there are quite a lot of them.
Legend has it that these guys are stubborn and self-centered, and it is easy to cause friction with others. Just look at Baroque Ye Yu. He will eat three chickens for breakfast, a large bowl of oatmeal and a barrel of wine for lunch.
Not to mention dinner, and drinking it all day
There must be at least several gallons of wine dropped... To put it simply, that barrel-like body is indeed a veritable rice barrel and wine barrel! If there were fifty or sixty of these guys, even eating would be enough to give Edward a headache.
I don’t have the money to buy it, but I don’t have the energy to transport it.
And at this stage, what troubles the young lord even more is that such a loser is not just Baroque Yeyu.
Each of the eight giants has an appetite that is fifty or sixty times greater than that of an ordinary person. In addition, there are more than twenty minotaurs that Edward brought up from underground. Although they are not as strong as the giants, they are not as strong as the giants.
But when it comes to their diet... don't think that if you have a cow's head, you can really eat it with oats and bean cakes. But every meal requires two or three pounds of meat!
Of course, even Blackhawk's attack may not necessarily bring catastrophe to Burgundy. As long as Edward's group of elites are still there, with thousands of people, they want to capture Roman It's still not easy in Ticheng. At worst, Edward can choose to carry out a series of assassinations before the opponent arrives, directly paralyzing the team's grassroots command ability. Of course, he can also stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
The psychic reached out his hand and tapped gently on the stone table in front of him.
In this world, the winner on the battlefield is not the sword at the waist of the general, but the sharp weapon in the hands of thousands of soldiers. This is a well-known fact, but few people know that mass-produced weapons and hard-tempered swords are different. .But even cheap forged weapons must take into account both strength and toughness, and it is difficult to balance the two.
For a modern person, blacksmithing is a profession that does not attract much attention, because for ordinary people of that era, they are already a relic of a long time ago, although they can see those from some video records. Covered in dust, but illuminated by the firelight, it turned into a dark red figure. You could even see the flickering sweat on the muscles that expanded and contracted with the beating movements, but after all, it was blurry, freehand, and not Really... they can hear the tinkling rhythm of hammering, but they can't feel the tearing pain in their bodies when they exert their strength. They can see those blurry lights and shadows, but they can't feel the pain. The acrid smoke, as well as the exhaustion of the heat and labor slowly squeezing out every drop of moisture in the body.
The thickness of the long sword, the heat, when to quench it, the angle of beating... As long as the shape of the sword is slightly changed, almost all the problems have to be recalculated. A broad sword for men and an ankh rapier for women. They are slightly similar. In addition, if you want to be a qualified blacksmith, you have to memorize as many things as a mountain, including horseshoes, saddle stirrups, and even the length of iron nails as small as individual nails. Not to mention the thousands of armor pieces that are different but must be gathered together to form a suitable whole.
The blacksmith apprentices here, no matter how skilled they are, are nothing more than rural blacksmiths, and some even lack experience in forging weapons. Casting armor is more complicated than weapons, and it requires not only the experience of a blacksmith, but also the experience of a blacksmith. The craftsmanship of tailors and tanners is outstanding. Moreover, the whole process is very slow and often takes several hours or even a whole day to complete.
Of course, there is still a solution to this problem——
