Menethil's Power

Chapter 218 Academy Island

It is not difficult to negotiate with the fishermen. It is impossible and impossible for the lakeside residents to reject these groups composed of noble children, clergymen, and serving military officers. Don't be afraid to use your own status to overwhelm others.

But even if all the ships in the vicinity were recruited, the limit that could be carried was only half of the 1000 or more than [-] students. Obviously, this was deliberately set by someone.

So the remaining more than 600 people can only take self-made vehicles, but even the simplest raft is not so easy to build. First of all, logging is a problem. Good weapons for cutting solid wood, but it is nonsense to expect them to have any experience with such menial work.

And they were obviously not willing to contribute to everyone. Alsace had to sacrifice his identity as a prince to finally let them start working. During the logging period, there were still a few guys who seemed to be completely ignorant of physics and fell down. Trees are crushed.

Alsace couldn't help but rejoice that the fishermen also brought a lot of rope when they accepted the conscript, enough to bind the logs to make a raft. God knows how far the project would be delayed if even the ropes had to be self-made.

Although he said that everyone must be together whether to go to the island or to stay, Alsace also knew that the latter is almost impossible to achieve, and there will inevitably be people who secretly leave alone, no matter based on the current situation or the foreseeable future, He has to take everyone there.

"We will not leave anyone behind." While calming the emotions of the younger students, he went into battle himself.No way, most people doing this kind of rough work of logging are not even as good as him, the prince who has been tortured by Muradin and Isaacs.

The fact that the prince personally participated in the work has greatly boosted morale. Although the work efficiency has not necessarily improved, at least there are fewer people complaining and looking for reasons to shirk.Pieces of trees were cut down and stacked together, and then other students who were not good at manual labor cut off the branches and intercepted the tree trunks, and tried to tie them up with ropes.

To carry 600 people, even if each raft carries 20 people, [-] rafts are needed. This is really a big project, and nearly half of the people who carry out this project are half-old children, and almost all of them have no experience. It seemed to be very slow, but fortunately, many fishermen came to help at the same time as the boats were being recruited, so at least they would not make any jokes.

"Your Highness Alsace, can you give me a weapon?" A childish voice sounded behind Alsace.

The prince turned around and saw a robust boy. The boy looked about eleven or twelve years old. From the clothes, it seemed that he was born as a commoner. His right wrist was slightly bulged under the clothes, which seemed to be wearing a wrist guard.

The boy smiled embarrassedly, "My sword is broken, and the others don't have spare weapons..."

There are indeed many fighters in this group of students, but no one will use a logging ax as a weapon. Long swords are basically standard equipment. Naturally, ordinary families can only buy ordinary quality, so breaking them during the logging process is not a problem. very normal thing.

Even in this group of students, other people of the boy's age are no different from normal children, still in the infancy that can only be protected, but this boy has his own weapon and seems to be happy to contribute.

This reminded Alsace of himself four or five years ago, with the same enthusiasm, the same desire to show himself, and the same dream of being a hero.

There was a look of reminiscence in the prince's eyes. It was only five years ago, but it felt like a lifetime away.

He took out a standard long sword from his space package, which he usually uses for training, but the quality of a prince's training sword is at least excellent, more than enough for chopping trees.

"See you off, boy." Alsace rubbed the little boy's head. This was the first time he did this to other people. In the past, the little prince was always the one whose head was touched.

The little boy thanked him and left. Alsace was just about to ask his name when another girl with dark blond hair came over. "Your Highness, you actually want to do the work yourself?" Bridget Abedis asked in a surprised tone. She was careless and showed no respect other than the honorific "Your Highness".

A standard domineering president would think that a woman is straightforward and unaffected because of her disrespectful attitude towards him, but Alsace is basically this character, and Bridget's attitude of treating him as an ordinary peer made him quite appreciate.

The two beautiful girls, Bridget and Whitemane, were quite eye-catching among this group of students. Most people paid more attention to Whitemane, who was even more amazing in appearance, but Alsace didn't care too much. He likes that kind of beauty that is too cold, but Bridget, who is as healthy and lively as a fawn, is more to his liking.

He doesn't like that kind of arrogant vase, but prefers the kind of sunny girl who is not so delicate and loves outdoor sports, but this type is very few among the people he can get in touch with.

That's why he fell in love with Jaina as soon as he saw her, but since that girl went to Dalaran, there has been no news at all, and Arthas has been missing for a long time because of this.

But now, he once again felt his heart pounding.Bridget stood here pretty and alive, with curious and reverent eyes, she looked up and down the third most noble boy in the kingdom.

"The identity of the royal family not only means privileges, but also represents a huge responsibility. If we have to rely on the service of others to complete our basic daily life and labor, then what qualifications do we have to lead the people?" Al Seth said seriously.

"This is really a great idea." Bridget sighed, with an admiring expression, which greatly satisfied Alsace's vanity.

"Of course it is not ruled out that some scumbags will abuse their privileges to satisfy their own desires. For example, a guy I know is only a few years older than me, but he has already had an unclear relationship with four beautiful women. This is just the face In fact, the number in the dark should be double this." Alsace quietly hacked someone who set up such an embarrassing test, and promoted himself by the way, "But I am different, I think love should always be As one, a husband must be faithful to his beloved wife all his life."

"The Holy Light teaches us to treat everyone around us sincerely, and may it forgive the sins of your friend." Because of her family inheritance, Bridget naturally has a firm belief in the Holy Light, but the girl never thought that she needed the Holy Light. The light-forgiving guy is the founder of the Royal Military Academy she's about to attend.

"Aha, he will be forgiven by the Holy Light, because I seriously suspect that he is the illegitimate child of the Holy Light." Alsace shrugged, while Bridget was a little puzzled.The little prince didn't want to continue this topic anymore. How could faith and the holy light become topics of discussion for boys and girls?He was just about to chat with Bridget about literature when he suddenly saw a tall tree fall down in front of him.

It was the boy just now. The sword Alsace gave him was a training sword, which was not of high quality, but the boy fell down a tree by himself, which proved the boy's astonishing strength.

Alsace began to wonder if he had orc blood, because he thought of his elder brother's slave. Thrall is only under 12 years old now, but his physical strength has reached the elite level of human standards.

"What's your name, boy?" the prince asked aloud.

"Thassarian, Your Highness!" The childish voice of the boy came from afar, and another tree fell down.

……

It wasn't until night fell that the vehicle that could barely carry everyone was ready to be prepared and barely launched into the water, but then the students had a dispute over the allocation of seats. All fools know that although those fishing boats are dirty and smelly, they are at least safe. No worries, but the self-made raft... It's a blessing to be able to support the Academy Island without falling apart.

Alsace took great pains to adjust, and finally made these young people agree that the young and the women should board the boat first, but then because the fat man Rolf Miller wanted to monopolize the boat, some of them became angry again. quite dissatisfied.

Alsace had no choice but to continue to adjust the arrangements, until someone with knowledge revealed that Rolf was the only son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer Cottington, and the disputes were all resolved.

The so-called all students are a whole, at least for now it is just a slogan.

Alsace was really tired, but he managed to get everyone on board the ferry, and the next step was to sail to College Island.The little prince knew that many of these improvised rough rafts might not be able to survive this short voyage, but Lordamere's lake was not deep and there were no dangerous aquatic sacred objects, so he thought it would be worth a try.

Baldridge has been standing there like a javelin, and even after a whole day, he doesn't seem to feel any tiredness. After he told all the students the location of the academy, he didn't speak again, but when he saw Alsace After stepping on his own raft, he suddenly asked, "Are you planning to go to the island now?"

"Yes." Alsace replied casually.

Baldrige nodded. He turned around, facing the direction of Academy Island, and raised his right hand. Just as Alsace felt a little strange, a violet light suddenly shot out from Baldrige's hand, and the light soared into the sky. , exceptionally eye-catching.

This seems to be... a flare?

This kind of movement naturally attracted the attention of all the students, but then they seemed to have witnessed a miracle. Platforms with amethyst staffs at both ends rose one after another, and the crystals began to emit light, and then the blue-purple physical energy came from It extended and formed a magic bridge connecting the academy island and here.

This is simply a dreamlike scene. At this time, the sky is almost completely dark, and under the faint starlight is a translucent blue-purple light bridge. A large number of energy threads flow inside the light bridge, which looks mysterious and powerful.

Most of the colleges, or even everyone, have never seen this kind of scene. In their impression, magic is a high and elusive existence, so they are completely shocked by this mysterious bridge.

Obviously, as the first impression given to these students, this bridge of secret magic weapon is a success, and it allows young people to feel the strength and high-end of the academy immediately.

Compared to the astonishment of others, Alsace cursed inwardly, since there is a bridge, why should we watch our internal disputes happen?Seeing us struggling to find homemade vehicles for ships?And have to make the bridge visible after everything is finished?

This is too much!

Alsace did not question Baldridge, because the little prince knew that all of this was someone's design, and even if he asked the paladin next time, the other party directly retorted "You didn't ask if there is a bridge" to make Alsace Nothing to say.

But in such a remote place, everyone's eyes will inevitably focus on the shore and there are a few small boats. How can anyone ask if there is a bridge?
As a person who spent a lot of time in Blizzard headquarters, Alsace knew very well that this bridge of secret magic is really a cost-effective project. As long as the technology is mastered, only a batch of low- and mid-level crystals is enough to complete it. The strength of the main body of the bridge is far worse than the arcane shield that the company equips the Immortals, and the latter is just a routine technology of Blizzard today.

Of course, Alsace would not say this directly, and of course he would not be so stupid as to demolish himself.

Like a miracle, the Arcane Bridge managed to make everyone else forget about the previous unhappiness.They disembarked from the boat in disbelief, stepped onto the bridge of secret magic, and walked slowly towards the academy island.

This is really a wonderful feeling. Although it seems to be no different from walking on the stone bridge, but through the translucent bridge deck, you can see the flooded lake water, as if floating in the air, so their steps are involuntary. slow.

The bridge of the secret method obviously has the effect of accelerating, but the reason is not very clear, but the students only took ten minutes to complete the whole journey, and at the end of the bridge of the secret method, they saw a figure suspended in mid-air , whose identity is self-evident.

Isaacs looked down at a kind of student, the cloak behind him fluttered like a banner, looking very imposing. Although he himself needs to enter the Seraph state to have the ability to fly, a high-level levitation scroll is just a common consumption type for him thing.

"Welcome to the Royal Military Academy, boys," he began.

"Why did you set up such a boring test, is it very interesting to watch us busy on the other side for a day here?" Alsace couldn't help complaining.

"Why?" Isaacs raised an eyebrow, "Because in order for you to clearly realize how incompetent you are, just a short passage of water will leave you helpless, and you must clearly realize that you are not a chosen one. Talent, but just a bunch of trash, a bunch of trash who can do almost nothing but complain."

There was an uproar, and Isaacs continued coldly: "The reason why you are standing here is only because of luck. The Kingdom needs a group of urgent talents. These talents will receive the best education and have the greatest future. I have no choice but to choose you, but as long as I can find another group of plastic talents, you will be driven back immediately."

These words were really hurtful, so most people were silent in embarrassment, but Whitemane suddenly raised his hand and looked at Isaacs with burning eyes, "If I perform well, can I join you The Heavenly Punishment Legion of the Guards?"

Isaacs looked at this amazingly beautiful girl, and his first reaction was whether she had albinism. After all, white hair and red eyes are really rare.And the request turned out to be to join the Heaven's Punishment Legion, could it be that he had an extra little girl?

The corners of his mouth softened a little, "You have the right to choose your own future, but that is after you have fully proved your ability." He no longer paid attention to Whitemane, and the object of his speech changed to the students as a whole again , "The existence of the Royal Military Academy is to allow you to have the ability to choose such a future. I hope you will cherish this opportunity and work hard to improve yourself, because your family, kingdom, and even the entire human race do not need waste."
