"I am your little apple, you can never love me too much..."
The undulating mountains in the vast sea of green mountains and forests are like a broad green carpet. On the khaki dirt road surrounded by forests, a song sung by a clear child's voice continues to echo in the air, occasionally mixed with the sound of a horse's neighing.
, as if to accompany it.
"Little Apple, can you change the song?" Geer was lying on the straw pile behind the carriage, looking helplessly at the little guy jumping happily beside him. This little guy never stopped after leaving the town.
He has been tormenting him with these repeated lyrics for almost half a day.
"Grandpa wrote this for me, and I know this song well." Little Apple blinked her eyes, which were particularly big compared to her figure, showing an innocent expression.
Seeing the uncontrollable curl of the little guy's mouth under his innocent expression, Geer shook his head and said nothing more.
After a while, the song performed with a child's voice began to echo again.
Geer turned his head and looked to his left. Carmelita, who was also sitting on the straw pile, looked a little dull, and her expression was not a little changed. Although she was not the kind with very high emotional fluctuations, for the goddess who had always been as calm as water,
Officially, this is unusual.
Geer knew very well that this was actually the sequelae of the immortality ritual brought to Carmelita. Because Geer had crystallized his soul, he could create a soul barrier to block the influence of Imolais' memory on him, making him
At best, it's like watching a very real movie, but it actually doesn't have much impact on you.
But Carmelita is different. She doesn't have the ability of Ger. It's like her and Hilgis' souls are completely integrated together, and they reexperience everything in Hilgis's memory. Although she finally used the godhead
The soul beacon made from the fragments redirected her soul, but everything sent out in the immortality ceremony has become a part of her memory. From time to time, conflicts with her own memory and cognition will break out. At this time, Carmelita
It will look like this.
These days, she would sometimes look at Geer as tenderly as water, and talk to Geer as if she were a lover. Then she would regain her clarity after a while, and deal with things as usual, as if two personalities were alternating.
Appear.
But fortunately, the frequency and number of occurrences of this situation have been significantly reduced compared to when she first left the Gumul Altar. After all, it was just a memory of Hilgis. Just like a rootless duckweed, at most
Carmelita had some impact, particularly
Carmelita has also absorbed the fragments of the godhead. Although Ger can't see which aspect of her evolution, the fragments of the godhead have the same effect on the body's spiritual bonus and strengthening the strength of the soul, so she becomes
Another Khiljis is impossible.
As long as some time passes, and Carmelita is completely used to the two memories and has sorted them out, she will be fine.
Geer couldn't help her in this regard. After seeing that there was nothing else going on with her, Geer turned his attention to the surrounding woods and the road ahead.
It was already the second day after they left Diafi Town. After the three of them rested in this peaceful town for two days, under the guidance of the hotel owner Gabri, they followed the only road connecting the town to the outside world.
The dirt road started.
The means of transportation they have is the old carriage they are riding in now. There is no way, as a remote town in the forest, there is no carriage that specifically serves passengers. Even the horses are very few.
, and those with strong physiques are concentrated in the baron's castle that rules this town. Obviously, it is not something that the three of Geer can get.
In this case, the three of them had no choice but to buy this carriage, which was originally used to pull fodder, from a farmer as a means of transportation.
The situation is pretty good. Although the old horse pulling the carriage is thin, it is quite strong and has a steady pace. Moreover, the carriage that looks very old appears to be very strong and runs well during the two days that Geer rode on it. Generally speaking, it can be said that
It's worth the money.
During the two days he stayed in Defias Town, Gale gained a preliminary understanding of the world through conversations with the hotel owner and contact with a few tourists.
The town they are currently in belongs to a country called Kabor, which is considered a medium-sized country in the region. Several surrounding countries are similar to Kabor, and their relations are good, so this country is relatively stable.
From the descriptions of these people, Geer judged that the development progress of this country was decades behind Konatas. The steam and industrial revolution had not yet begun, the bourgeoisie had not yet risen, and it was still in the era when knights and nobles occupied the ruling class.
.
However, these people have only been to a few cities in Kabor at most, and do not know much about the world outside the Kingdom of Kabor. They heard that there is a wider land and country there, but they do not know the specific situation.
.
As for language, Geer found that the Kabor language they used was roughly similar to the language family that Geer and the others used that originated from Briggs, but there were some differences in some details, so it was difficult for Geer to communicate with them.
There is no problem. In their ears, Rigel's language is more like a local language variety, which is not an uncommon thing in the Kingdom of Cabor.
Geer also tentatively asked for information about Talansky Academy and Donkhor Castle.
The result is one happy and one sad.
Talansky College has a very famous name in the Kingdom of Kabor. It is the most famous college in the Kingdom of Kabor. With the purpose of cultivating high-level talents in the country, it recruits students from outside the academy every year. Those who can graduate from it will usually be employed by the government.
I found a very good position here. The better news is that Talansky Academy is different from other knight academies and aristocratic academies.
Students do not pay attention to where they were born, and they are even open to foreign students. It can be said that it is the only college in Kabol that accepts students regardless of their birthplace. Of course, Talansky College also has particularly high requirements for the quality of students. The students who are eliminated every year
There are not a few, but the number of people who go to study at Talansky Academy every year has always remained high, and civilians regard it as a ladder to change their destiny.
But when it came to the news about Dunkhall Castle, everyone was shaking their heads, saying they had never heard of this place.
However, at least they had a very clear goal first. After spending money to buy a simple map, the three of them set off on the road to Eminas, the capital of Kabol, where Talansky Academy is located.
journey.
"Little Apple, what's going on with that gold mine that never shows up?" After listening to several cycles of Little Apple's solo concerts, Geer felt a tight and uncomfortable feeling in his chest even with his will and body.
After thinking about it, I decided to find a topic to divert Little Apple's attention, so as not to continue being poisoned by its singing.
Sure enough, after Geer asked the little apple, it immediately stopped singing and blinked at Geer a few times: "I'm not sure about that, but grandpa always likes to find people who are lost in the forest.
People, use that disgusting yellow stone in exchange for their knowledge and then send them out of the forest. I don’t know the rest."
It seems that the so-called gold mine that never appears is a rumor made up by those who obtained the gold ore from the Grand Duke in order to keep this secret.
Geer continued to ask Little Apple a few questions. It was obvious that this little guy was particularly interested in being a role model. As soon as he saw someone asking him, he forgot to sing, and ran to Geer and started to chirp to "answer his doubts."
Already.
In this way, time passed quickly during the conversation between the two. More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Carmelita also recovered and joined the chat.
Probably due to the personal teachings of the Grand Duke, Little Apple has a very wide range of knowledge. He has a certain understanding of both basic knowledge and mysticism, and he also knows a lot of anecdotes. This made the chat very lively and rarely stopped.
Geer also started his old business - recording information about plants and insects around him. From time to time, he asked Bellif, a part-time coachman, to stop the carriage and go to the nearby woodland to collect some samples, and then discuss with Little Apple to determine their nature.
The characteristic is that with stops and starts like this, the journey is not very difficult.
Geer felt good about this kind of journey. He could learn a lot of knowledge through the knowledgeable Little Apple, which was a good thing for him. After all, it is said that Taransky Academy has high admission requirements and special assessments.
.The more knowledge you learn now, the easier it will be to cope with the entrance examination.
The Taransky Academy recommended by the Grand Duke must have something special about it, so Geer also had some expectations about entering Taransky Academy in the future.
For Geer, who has already separated himself from ordinary people in terms of spiritual values, any learning is not difficult. The memory, computing energy and thinking ability that come with it have reached a terrifying state. He can definitely be regarded as having a photographic memory. In addition,
With the help of several modules, whether it is storing information or model analysis, it can be extremely accurate. Generally
Human learning and research require constant memory review, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes and mistakes. You may go down the wrong path and then have to go back and find another path. But Geer is different. He can rely on it from the beginning.
Find the most suitable, concise and effective path based on your own superior conditions. There will be no errors, no need to memorize, and no detours.
"According to the current conditions, there are far more great knights in this world than Kunak before. Although it may not be popular, it can be related to it from the academy of a medium kingdom, and from the words of those travelers,
I mentioned that there are several famous high knights serving in the palace. I guess the high knight rank is not a very secret thing for people in this world." Thinking of this, Geer's heart also became a little hot.
"Master!"
Bellif's voice coming from the front of the carriage attracted Geer's attention. (To be continued...)
