Before ascending to God, be a good lord

"Totapala and her followers came to see me from the Frostwolf Forest, and they don't know much about our situation here, so there are these misunderstandings." Panita glanced at Rand at the side, and continued, "Speaking of this , My student’s name is Waldi, a priest of Totapala’s tribe, I’ve always wanted to learn how to grow magic plants, this time I’m honored to meet you, and I would like to ask for your advice.”

At this time, all the eyes of the audience were on Rand, and he naturally followed Panita's train of thought and said: "I have heard that you are the master of the magic plant, and I would like to ask you for more guidance. "

"Well, I happen to be free tomorrow, so you can come to Xingtian City with me." The old mage said with a smile, "I have been cultivating the magic planting fields there for a hundred years."

The road in Hindukel Basin is not easy to walk, but the magister's carriage is very fast. Rand noticed that the quality of this carriage with the galloping horse logo is not inferior to that of Rand's, and even the runes on the bearings It is more complicated than what is on the market.

Along the way from Tikal to Xingtian City, there were several smaller cities to be seen. Rand was very interested in these small cities in the carriage, and kept looking out the window.

"That small city is similar to Tikal. It is also a neutral city-state named Meiyan. The main temple there is dedicated to the river god of the Benma River." The old mage looked at Rand and said with a smile, "In the entire basin, there are There are 9 neutral city-states. In addition to the three big cities of Tikal, Abedi and Siam, there are also six small cities like Maeyan.

Small cities have many characteristic small shrines, which enshrine local gods, while the three big cities mainly worship the three gods of business, life and fertility.I remember you came from the east of the Galloping Horse Plain, can you tell me about the current situation in the Galloping Horse Plain? "

"Yes, Master Rousseff, I followed Lord Totapala from White Wolf City east of the plain, where a new temple of life has been built. Lord Panita also cultivated some life in White Wolf City. Priest." Long before coming, Rand and Totapala prepared a whole set of rhetoric, including their identities, how to get from east to west, each city and the border situation, all prepared.

With full preparation, it is natural to be able to talk with the magister. As a descendant of the Galloping family, Rousseff is very curious about the situation on the plain, and will ask a few specific questions from time to time.

When the carriage entered Xingtian City, Rand even felt that the Benma family was more respected here, and the actions of the human race on the road were not subject to any restrictions, and the buildings in the city were more and more similar to the architectural style of the human race.

"This was a mine 200 years ago, but it fell into decline. The tribe that ruled the plain at that time sent me here. It took me 50 years to transform this place into the largest city of the cat clan," the old mage looked at the tall buildings outside the city, He smiled and said, "As a result, 15 years ago, the Linmao Tribe and the Black Tiger Tribe fought in a mess. They won power but messed up the city. They simply moved the main tribe to me."

"No wonder, Teacher Rousseff, your city is so beautifully built." Rant looked at the mentor tower in the distance, silently calculating the size of the magic furnace in the local mine.

Rousseff took Rand to visit Mozhitian first, then the ruins of the mine, and finally took him to his mentor tower.

For Rand, Rousseff's magic field can only be regarded as unique, which is much worse than his honeycomb field and magic tree healing garden. The only thing that can be seen is that there is a fertility circle under the soil. The eggshells of monsters were collected as containers for raising seedlings of magic plants.

As early as the first time he saw Rand, Rousseff could be sure that the person in front of him had reached a high level, and with the introduction of the wolf priest Panita, he had already guessed Rand's identity, but he didn't know. Just be sure.

When visiting Mozhitian, Lant's eyes were very tricky, and Rousseff could guess that the young man in front of him was not only Lant Benma himself, but also the most important person around him.

In the study room of the Magic Tower, Rousseff stood back and talked with Rand alone: ​​"Young man, which one do you think is better between my Mozhitian and the hexagonal Mozhitian in Yeqi City?"

"Teacher, here in Yeqi City, I asked me to bring you something." Lante knew that it was difficult to hide his identity, and he would meet Rousseff for a while, so he specially prepared it in advance. Gift.

"This is a set of accessories specially made for life mages." A small magic pattern box was opened, and there were 2 rings, a pendant and 2 bracelets. "The ring itself has the effect of improving concentration. The above There is a life magic pattern, and another space gem can be inlaid, and the core is this pendant, which can release two kinds of 2th-level magic: fertile land and group healing."

The magister picked up the small and exquisite pendant, and was a little surprised by the skill of the maker: "Who made this pendant?"

"Lant Benma himself, this pendant is specially made for you, it represents Ye Qicheng's respect for the descendants of Vishideno Benma." After speaking, Lante took out a second magic sealing box , "There are 2 magic pattern breeding tanks that can provide a complete growth environment for magic plants of the size of wild ginseng, purple eggplant, and mandrake. Finally, Ye Qicheng asked me to bring you some Ben Ma Jia Niang, all the latest flavors, which were not in the previous set."

Looking at the gift in front of him, Rousseff was a little at a loss. He didn't understand the intention of Rante Galloping Horse. Rousseff and the local Hinduker horse members were both native Hindukel natives. , although it is a bit ironic, but in Xingtian City, they are the masters here.

As a local human race, Rousseff's attitude towards the human race and the orcs is very entangled. He hates the orcs who treat the human race as vassals and slaves, but he doesn't think that he should return to the Benma Plain, or that the humans on the Benma Plain can occupy Hinduke. In Er Basin, he felt that orcs, humans, and dwarves were all native ethnic groups here, and everyone could have coexisted peacefully, as long as they divided labor and cooperated with each other.

"Yeqicheng believes that the entire Benma Plain is a territory with barbarians as the main population and human Yeqicheng as the capital. The main task of the entire territory in the future is to maintain internal development and stability. If Hindukel The orcs don't want to invade, and Yeqi City is willing to maintain peace." Lante stated his purpose clearly, he wanted to talk to the orcs through Rousseff.

"The hatred between the Benma family and the orcs has lasted for thousands of years, can Lante Benma let go?" The magister's eyes were burning. In his opinion, even if Lante could let go, the rolling princes of the imperial capital might not be able to let go.

"Rand Benma is a more realistic lord. He has no ambitions for any land west of the Iowa Pass, but he can't give up any land east of the pass." Facing Rousseff, Rand replied With a firm look.

The two galloping horses looked at each other in silence, one of them represented the orcs and the other represented the barbarians. In the huge galloping horse family, neither of them could be considered a big family, but now they seem to be deciding the outcome of the war between the entire human race and the orcs. Peace.
