Baron Lev, a just knight of the Knights Templar, turned around after hearing the sound and saw Matthew from the Viscount of Wenger smiling at him.
Lev nodded. He looked up at the endless, silent and deep mountains, then led his horse slowly toward the short bridge built with a few felled trees.
This is already the second day that Lev has been wandering around here with several of his men. Ever since the civilian named Roy jumped off the cliff with an elf, he was ordered by Alex to look for Roy here.
Yi's body. Until now.
"If you want to see a person alive, you want to see a corpse if you die!"
These are Alex's exact words and Lev's own opinion.
As one of Alex's most trusted subordinates, Lev also knew very well that finding the body of the boy named Roy or killing the person who found him would be harmful to himself, Alex and even the Templars.
How important it is to everyone.
This commoner boy named Roy should not have agreed to be the princess's future guardian knight regardless of life and death.
Augustus is the eldest grandson of the Golden Dragon family, the godson of the Pope, and a rare genius in a hundred years. Although he has just turned eighteen this year, his previous achievements have already surpassed the most outstanding genius in history, Aka.
Leus, I heard that in the future Augustus will be the one chosen to enter the gate of heaven!
How could such a proud man be shamed by a commoner?!
Lev was a little angry. He didn't understand how stupid that princess was. Not to mention that her fiancé was dead. Even if he was still alive, Lord Augustus fell in love with her. Did she still have the right to refuse?
?!
She is just a princess from a worldly and ruined empire. No matter how beautiful she is, she should be aware of her status.
Now that Lord Augustus has asked for her, she should understand that her identity cannot be interfered with by others, and she should stay in the palace and learn the rules of being the daughter-in-law of the Golden Dragon family. Instead of showing her face outside like this and recruiting others.
Bee Yindie even asked a pariah who didn't even have fighting spirit to be her guardian knight!
After leading the horse across the bridge, Lev got on the horse, looked around, and said to Matthew who was following behind him: "To be honest, this is a really terrible place."
Matthew, who was respectful, also followed Lev and turned to look around, and said with a smile: "Yes, respected Lord Lev, this place belongs to the Warcraft Mountains at the junction of Saint Solan and Fei Lie. Usually not many people dare to come.
!”
Warcraft Mountains. Hearing this name, Lev was surprised and said: "Really?"
As we all know, the Land of Redemption was originally a world dominated by Warcraft, and there were very few people there.
Three hundred years ago, with the influx of defeated humans, they built cities one after another, cleared wasteland, cultivated land, and multiplied. In order to compete for living space, humans also fought a battle with Warcraft known as the War of Warcraft in history.
At that time, the knights who were attacking everywhere killed the monsters on sight. And the monsters also launched several brutal beast tides to massacre the city under the trend of some intelligent high-level monsters.
In the end, humanity won.
The splintered Warcraft retreated into the Warcraft Mountains in the middle of the Redemption Continent. But from time to time, some Warcraft would rush out of the mountains and attack surrounding tribes and small cities.
Lev didn't expect that this was already the southern part of the Redemption Continent and was actually an extension of the Warcraft Mountains.
Hearing Lev's question, Matthew smiled and said: "Isn't it, sir? Although the Warcraft Mountains are almost invisible in the Pulu Empire and Longmen Border City, that is because the terrain on both sides is on a plateau. In fact,
, the mountains extend all the way to the seaside, otherwise, we would not have formed the current border with the Fei Lie Empire."
Lev nodded. Then he vaguely remembered that this seemed to be the case.
It seems that this is the reason why the Saint Solan people did not expect that the Feili people could cross the mountains and attack a small seaside town.
"The border of my territory is also close to here." Matthew smiled and pointed to a group of soldiers and farmers who had just completed the construction of the bridge: "Otherwise, it would not have been possible to mobilize people to help so quickly. I missed Mr. Lev.
It’s something you can’t afford to suffer.”
"Lord Matthew is too polite." Lev smiled.
He had a good impression of this informed and knowledgeable future Viscount. According to Moon and others, Matthew had been very respectful to the Templars from the beginning, and it was even more commendable that he took the initiative to stay and help him hunt down the boy this time.
After all, there are many stupid people and few smart people in this world.
Seeing that everyone else was following, Matthew walked side by side with Lev and continued to introduce: "These are places where the best hunters in the territory usually never dare to go deep. I heard that in the Warcraft Mountain, there are high-altitude monsters everywhere.
A level of magical beast, according to ancient legend, someone once saw the entrance to the desperate situation here."
Lev was suddenly shocked: "The entrance to the desperate situation? There is actually the entrance to the desperate situation here?!"
Desperate Situation is the human name for the gathering place of super-level Warcraft in the Warcraft Mountains. It is said that it is a mysterious space. As long as you pass through the space vortex that appears from time to time and in uncertain places in the Warcraft Mountains, you can enter the Desperate Situation.
Once you go in, you won't be able to come back.
Not to mention the super-level monsters in the desperate situation, even some seventh- and eighth-level monsters in the periphery can kill a high-level knight. Since ancient times, countless adventure heroes and mercenaries have been buried in it.
"That's right!" Matthew said with a smile: "So, when I saw that kid jumping off the cliff, I knew he wouldn't survive. Even if he didn't fall to death and drown, being washed here by the river would be a dead end. But it's just that
, it will be a troublesome thing to find that kid’s body.”
"No matter dead or alive, we must find it." Lev smiled coldly: "If he offends the Knights Templar, he will get into huge trouble! Drink!"
With the sound of horse hooves, the group of people, with their coats fluttering, galloped towards the mountains.
There was silence in the cave. Occasionally, I could hear the chirping of birds coming from the forest outside.
Roy opened the necromancer's notes and found a lot of Austin's insights and diagrams of magic patterns at the end.
It turns out that drawing magic patterns is not a patent for magicians. Some people with high mental power and perception can also draw magic patterns. Even in the history before the final battle, there were many tattoo masters who were not magic awakeners.
Magic pattern drawing is to drive the elemental energy of heaven and earth to change, aggregate, collide, and adjust according to the specific magic pattern trajectory, and finally achieve the effect desired by the magic pattern painter.
Roy nodded. From this point of view, the magic pattern is somewhat similar to the mechanics he learned in the dwarf's machine tower when he was a child.
If the magic pattern is compared to a machine, then the elemental energy of heaven and earth in it is an alternative mechanical part.
When the magic pattern master draws a specific magic pattern, these elemental energies will run and change according to the path of the magic pattern. Some of them are fast, some are slow, some collide, and some merge. In short, they are like machines.
Parts generally move within the magic pattern, allowing the magic pattern to perform its intended function.
For example, this fire defense pattern in the book.
The magic pattern appears as a huge circle, composed of hundreds of lines. There are arcs, straight lines, squares, spirals... it's dazzling.
After the elements pass through the combination of these lines, they will eventually form a flame-shaped defensive shield attached to the magic armor. Once attacked, the defensive shield can offset a considerable degree of attack power.
Roy was a little stunned. This fire defensive magic pattern is only a basic magic pattern. If it were an advanced magic pattern or a master-level magic pattern, it would probably have more than a thousand lines.
Whether judging from the magic book given by Mrs. Allen or Austin's magic notes, except for some one-star low-level magic patterns, most of the magic patterns are extremely complex and consume a lot of mental power and perception of the magic pattern master.
This can also explain why the price of a pair of magic patterns is so high and an excellent magic pattern master is so noble.
Roy flipped through the notes page by page, checking Mrs. Ellen's magic book from time to time.
He discovered that, except for some intermediate and advanced magic patterns that were not found in the magic books, the elementary magic patterns recorded in both books were exactly the same.
Roy has known for a long time that the magic pattern master is a serious and meticulous profession. When he was a child, he had seen that many magic pattern masters followed the rules and had their own rules in everything they did. They would never go beyond the limits.
At this moment, after reading the records about magic patterns in the book, he realized that it turned out that these were all effects of occupation on people's personalities.
A basic magic pattern has hundreds of lines. The thickness, turning, and spacing between each line, and even the depth of perception and penetration, are strictly regulated.
If you make a mistake... even if you complete ninety-nine of a thousand lines, if only the last line is wrong, the entire magic pattern map will be in vain.
Moreover, because the magic pattern must be drawn in one go, no one has the time and time to slowly draw the gourd, so the magic pattern master must memorize a large number of magic pattern diagrams.
This requirement for magic pattern masters is really too high. It’s no wonder that many tattoo masters are unable to hire them no matter how high the price is.
A tragic career!
Roy defined his future and shrugged his shoulders. Anyway, he was already the unluckiest guy in the world, so he was still afraid of a bird.
This kind of profession is only possible by unlucky people. If the magic pattern was so easy to draw, I'm afraid this profession wouldn't be as valuable as it is now.
As he flipped through a set of secondary magic pattern drawings and carefully studied the key points of drawing magic patterns in these pictures, time passed quickly. Suddenly, when Roy's eyes fell on a picture in Austin's notes, he was stunned.
Growing up, he had seen many magic patterns.
The magic pattern in front of him is actually very ordinary. It is just a wind magic pattern. It is usually used on carriages, sails of sea ships, and the [Sky Magic Ship] that he has seen before but has never ridden on. It is a combination of many magic patterns.
A common one.
However, the magic patterns we see in daily life are all embossed or engraved on metal after the magic pattern master has finished painting the devil.
Gold, silver, green, white, various colors are available depending on the materials used in the final molding.
Roy had never seen anything like this, white with red.
In fact, this picture is just a small picture from an unfinished study by Austin. It was drawn casually, and the red used in the middle is the focus of his research outlined with a red pen. It is not surprising.
But at this moment, Roy was staring at this picture, feeling similar.
