wandering fairy

Confused is confused, but Donghezi doesn't care about classification.In the next few days, his research progressed more and more smoothly. Not only could he change berries and nuts, but he could also change some wild melons, wild wheat and other things.So everyone's picnic became more and more abundant.

Finally one day, when Donghezi was distributing sweet and delicious melons and fruits to everyone again.Mackenzie couldn't help but came over and asked: "Priest Alilu, excuse me. Although it's a bit presumptuous, I still want to know what kind of spell you are? There is no such spell among the priest's spells I know ?”

Grimm next to him interrupted immediately: "Why ask so much? The gods are omnipotent! Let's just eat. Of course, after eating, we have to pray to the great God of Air Elements to thank him for his gift. "

McKenzie frowned and continued to ask: "But the god of air element is not good at plant magic, even the four elemental gods are not good at it, only the goddess of the earth, the goddess of sprout or Mahapa Hathor, the benevolent goddess of the Silk Empire, is good at planting magic. Your magic is "

Dong Hezi opened his mouth carelessly and said, "Although the god of air elements is not good at planting, he is closely related to plants! Of course there are some special magical arts in the field of plants."

McKenzie was dumbfounded - how can such foolish words be said so confidently?

Then he said curiously: "Plants are closely related to the earth and spring water, so why are they related to the air element? Is there any reason for it?"

Dong Hezi raised his head unceremoniously and said: "There are three reasons. First, plants can live without the earth, such as water lilies, water plants, etc. It can be seen that plants are only supported by the earth, but they do not belong to the category of the earth; second, Plants need water, but they also need sunlight. It can be seen that the characteristics of plants are between water and fire, which just correspond to the air element; thirdly, plants collect water vapor from the ground and transpirate into the air, which has the function of mediating precipitation, that is, attracting wind and attracting wind. The function of thunder. It can be seen that its characteristics are similar to wind. Wind is connected to air, and plants are connected to wind. Therefore, plants belong to the same element as air. Of course, the god of air elements is good at magic in the field of plants. It's just that everyone doesn't like to show it That's all. Now I see that everyone is physically and mentally exhausted and needs some melons and fruits to adjust, so I used this kind of magic that is rarely revealed. Don't be surprised."

Although these words are spoken casually, they are not nonsense. In the gossip, "wood is sundae, sundae is wind", the ancients have long been aware of the connection between vegetation and atmosphere, so what he said is not wrong.

McKenzie is also a smart person, so it is not easy to ask any more questions, so he nodded in response.I talked and laughed with everyone again, eating and drinking together.At least, that's how it looks on the surface.

In this way, while walking and studying talismans and ecosystems, and endured nearly ten days of kung fu, a kind of human and horse finally passed through the forest where the sun is never seen all day long.Came to an open wooded hilly area.Under the soft sunlight in the morning, the wide grassland and small forests scattered in threes and fives, and some lush shrubs in between, it looks more "normal".

What made everyone even more relieved was that there was a simple small castle in the distance!Although the height is less than six floors, it is still a bluestone structure. The blue-gray fortress is strong and powerful like a burly beast, and the tower painted in milky white is wide and tall, like a standing steel armored guard, giving people a feeling of relaxation and tranquility. feel.It is much more pleasing to the eye than the wood and stone mixed structure "castle" of the old Baron Khalil.The castle is surrounded by a small town, and there are thick stone walls around the town.It is enough for two four-wheeled carriages to run side by side, and it looks quite solid.

Grimm began to worry: "It's the castle of the local lord. It's a pity that everyone doesn't have any money with them, or they can get some drinks from the lord to celebrate."

MacKenzie sighed and said, "Let's wait until the city of Strandhold to celebrate. This is still the sphere of influence of Giffen City. Now that something happened in Giffen City, I don't know where the mages here are. Where? If we fall to the Austrian Law Federation, we will have to go around."

Looking at the tall and thick castle, Grimm thought of those warm fireplaces and quilts, rich breakfast and obedient servants again, so he said with longing eyes, "Why don't you send a few people to the small town below the castle first?" Go to inquire? If you can still pass, then go to the town to buy some supplies, and everyone will take a big bath by the way."

This sentence completely touched everyone, and I haven't washed it properly for several weeks.Even I can't stand the sour smell all over my body!Moreover, equipment such as leather armor, chain armor, and buckler also need to be repaired.Otherwise, there will be troubles on the road in the future.So everyone turned their heads to look at "Pastor Elilu" and listened to his last words.Because these days.He has faintly become the leader of these people.Even MacKenzie is just a second-in-command who handles the daily affairs of the team on his behalf.All important matters must be approved by "Priest Aililu" before they can be carried out, otherwise these arcane fighters who are not convinced by each other will have quarreled long ago.

Dong Hezi thought for a while and said, "Then Mackenzie, you can take someone to have a look. If you find anything wrong, come back immediately."

McKenzie ordered a few clever arcane soldiers, and trotted all the way to the small town around the castle.

And in a large room on the east side of the castle.

With the help of the old maid, Rafina combed her long golden hair while sobbing slightly.The cyan bags under the eyes that emerged had already damaged the neat face, and it was even more haggard after being wiped with wet tears.

The thin old maid behind her has dense wrinkles all over her face, but her skin is much stronger than that of the old people of the same age. After all, she only needs to serve the baron's family, instead of spending all day in the uneven mud like ordinary old peasant women. Doing heavy and hard work under the scorching sun and the cold wind that scrapes the skin.Because of this, her back is also very straight, without a trace of aging and hunchback.Let many peers envy it.At this moment, she was combing Rafina's hair, while sighing, "Is the baron drunk again?"

Rafina gave a "hmm" with a stiff face.She is trying her best to control her grief, unwilling to show the weakness of a mage in front of an ordinary person, and secretly encourages in her heart: "I am calling from the arcane. I am not a poor woman who depends on her husband for a living! Don't be so weak, Raffin Na, the devil is with you no matter what!"

Finally, she felt a little better, but she heard the old maid continue to sigh and say: "Actually, the baron is not a bad person, he just got upset recently. Isn't there something big going on in Giffen City recently? His The distant uncle was called back to Giffen City, and we don't know the result. We heard that many mages participated in the conspiracy of colluding with demons to murder Mage Cruz, and twenty or thirty of them have been executed. What if his uncle also If you are dealt with, your life will be difficult in the future."

Rafenner's resentment towards her man flared up again, and she said angrily, "Isn't he a nobleman? What's the matter with him if something happened to the mage? Even the Austrian Law Federation can't deal with the nobleman casually, otherwise it will be a crime." Taboo."

The old maid continued to sigh and said: "That is to say, but the grandfather of Baron Giselle originally relied on Giffen City to obtain this territory. **** If Giffen City no longer supports him after the big change, That's troublesome. Don't you see that the nobles around have been very rude recently? Those sub-giant tribes came to plunder, and we should all work together to resist, and we often do this before. But this time, no one wants to send troops , not even a little bit of food. Didn’t you mean to see the baron’s jokes?”

Rafina snorted helplessly and said, "A joke? I can't help seeing more than a joke! If those sub-giants really come here, they will raze everything here to the ground!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling sad From it: I was originally a low-level mercenary mage. I just ended my dazed adventure days more than a month ago. I came here to marry him under the introduction of another middle-level mage, that is, the baron uncle.Originally thought that the hard days were over and the idyllic days were about to begin, but they didn't know that within two weeks of getting married, news came that Giffen City had undergone major changes.In panic, the baron's uncle, their only reliance, was immediately recalled to Giffen City.It seems that the gods intend to bring bad luck to them, but at this time, a small group of sub-giant tribes emerged from the direction of the Bendu Empire.Although there are only 80 to 300 people, all of them are barbaric fighters who can stand up to ten.After sweeping through several villages on the outskirts of the territory, it has already been killed like a local.Although two or three hundred people can be armed in the castle at zero time, how to resist the sub-giants who have experienced many battles?These huge guys can easily raid the entire castle in the dark in just one night!

The situation is extremely critical!

In the face of so much pressure, my husband couldn't move to rescue the soldiers.Instead, he was deliberately left out by other nobles in the surrounding area.So when he came back, he poured all the grievances he had suffered on the wine and himself, beating and scolding for several days in a row.Until yesterday, I got a glimmer of hopeful news from a ranger: the nearby dwarf king is stationed in the mountains dozens of miles away, and maybe he can ask for some troops from there.

This morning, he rushed to ask for help with his attendants and a lot of drinks. Of course, he didn't forget to find a fault before leaving, and beat Rafenner violently.

Thinking of this, Rafenner said angrily: "What does he think I am? I am his wife, not a target for his archery! I am still a mage, not a farmer in his territory! Don't just think that he is a nobleman. Do whatever you want! At worst, I will go outside to live an adventurous life, even if I die as a mercenary. I don’t want to endure this kind of life without dignity!”

The old maid hurriedly persuaded: "Don't say that. You are not young anymore, why are you still in a daze like a child? That kind of life is just to deceive those young children who are at a loss for the future. How can you spend your whole life outside? It’s not easy to have such a support. Just bear with it for now. Besides, this kind of thing has nothing to do with high or low, it’s like this in every family. It’s not uncommon for a husband to beat his wife. The old man in my family used to beat me often .” Then he sighed and stopped talking.

Rafenner asked with concern: "What about now? Are you still fighting?"

The old maid smiled helplessly: "I can't fight anymore. I died in a conflict with the hobgoblin four years ago. Maybe I am happy now in the kingdom of the Mother Earth God. I am left here alone to suffer .What a heartless one."

The two fell silent together, what an "ordinary" and boring life.Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?At the beginning, I ran out of the house to make a living.Isn't it just to escape this annoying family life?Why did you turn back at the end?

Destiny, why are you so cruel?

Rafenna's mood became more and more depressed, and the old maid said again: "Which god do you worship? The goddess of magic or the god of mages?"

Rafina hesitated and didn't make a sound.She doesn't know what gods she believes in, maybe she doesn't believe in any gods.Just like men, they are all unreliable!

The old maid felt pity: "He is a confused child again, and he will go astray if he is not careful."So she said softly and simply: "Why don't you join our Mother Earth Church. The Mother God cares about women very much, and you can get her great protection in her church. If the Baron hits you again, you can Go to the pastor of the church to complain, they will come forward to persuade the master. And their reputation is very high. Even ordinary noble masters should give them some points. When I didn’t join the church, I was beaten every few days like you. Later, the pastor of the Mother God Church took the initiative to stop my husband. After joining the church, he didn’t dare to hit me. Sometimes he couldn’t help but tap me a few times. Don’t mention the look of wanting to hit me but not daring to hit me. That's funny." She couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke.

Rafenna continued to remain silent. The Mother Earth Goddess is undoubtedly a loving god, but is she really suitable for me?Join her church and participate in the activities of sowing and caring for seeds every year, and then drive the oxen to plow the fields with the farmers, and carry the manure to fertilize? !

Stop being funny!

And what about Hulsa, the mage god?Hmph, he is a deity respected by the senior members of every Mage Association.However, he only cares about those who are gifted in magic, and those who bring benefits to the mage group, and even give them special care and guidance.And even a mage with mediocre qualifications like himself joined the church.For the rest of his life, he could only hang around at the bottom, and be a "pious" believer prostrate on the ground.

Such gods undoubtedly have great influence among middle and low-level mages.I also once planned to join that church.She even attended a party, but when those lowly mages prostrated themselves on the ground, the scene of surrender completely ruined her vision: these poor people, when you are so prostrate on the ground , How is it any different from farmers who believe in the Mother Earth Goddess?

With this vigilant heart, she gradually saw some dark sides in the Church of the Mage God, and guessed some ulterior secrets.In the end she chose to leave because this was not the life she wanted.

Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly.He took out a thumb-sized silver statue from his bosom - a human body in a wide blue robe, and the head of an ibis.This is the god of erudition and wisdom "Sisuo" of the Mahapasi Empire.

She stared blankly at this exquisite and delicate statue, not even knowing that the old maid had finished dressing.Because this statue seemed to be her last hope.Just before the end of a life of wandering, wandering mercenaries and adventures.She accidentally got this statue from a sea merchant during an activity to buy magic items, and heard about the great god "Si Suo".He is not only a god of arcane arts but also a god of knowledge discovery and exploration, advocating people to explore unknown secrets, and claiming that no matter how small the discovery may become a great force to promote destiny and history.Compared with the god of mages, who focuses on the promotion and stabilization of arcane arts and mage power, the god Sisuo emphasizes comprehensive knowledge and skills. His followers include not only mages but also craftsmen, architects, rangers, travellers, and even A powerful plane explorer for ordinary people!

She sighed slightly, from childhood until girlhood, her dream was to own her own boat.Sail away to feel the bright blue sky and the vast and boundless sea.Explore countless islands and lands, observe all kinds of rare birds and animals, and collect legends and stories from all over the world.Looking back now it was a fairytale dream.Beautiful and charming but so hopeless, as if migrating birds are gradually flying away, getting farther and farther away from themselves.

She smiled wryly and put away the statuette. She would never want to leave this simple and old land in her life. Long voyage?Go dreaming!

After sighing several times in succession, she slowly stood up and looked towards the northwest.Now my baron husband is about to reach the dwarves' territory.I don't know if we can bring in rescue soldiers.If not, maybe I will be forced to live a life of adventure again.

The steep mountain is like countless animal teeth covering the vast land without boundaries. Walking in it is like walking on a thrilling roof!If you are not careful, the stone you are stepping on will slide down a large piece along the slope.The result of carelessness is to roll into the valley to feed the vultures!

Giselle and his [-] or [-] subordinates walked hard together in this goddamn mountainous area with the drinks they paid for the dwarves.I finally understand why the dwarves are so short --- because they are tall, they all rolled into the ravine and became a delicious meal for beasts!

It was not easy to find a slightly flatter place on a mountainside.Everyone who was exhausted hurriedly went to work, regardless of high or low, all sat down to catch their breath, which was more tiring than fucking several women in one night.

Although Giselle is a baron lord, she is only wearing ordinary traveler's clothes, but the hat and emblem are more gorgeous, with a special family emblem painted on it to mark her noble status.Now he sullenly took out some dry food and sliced ​​meat, and slowly chewed on the jug of water.Staring at the steeper mountains and the lingering thick fog among the hills, my heart became heavier.

Finally he spoke to the attendants beside him in a muffled voice: "How much wine have we lost?"

The attendant knew that he was in a bad mood, so he replied cautiously: "Seven barrels were lost, but there are more than 60 barrels left. I think it's enough to make those greedy dwarf nobles happy."

Giselle suddenly became furious: "Do you think? If you think about it, you can make those dwarves obey you honestly? These wines are all I have! After returning, everyone will only drink well water! This is just a gift God knows what else those short bastards will ask us for?! Maybe it’s a lot of food or high-quality cloth, it’s nothing good anyway!” The more he thought about it, the more angry he kept cursing: “There are those few who deserve to die The baron and viscount saw my uncle being recalled to Giffen City, and they beat me to death. Hmph, when uncle was around, they became more intimate with each other. Brothers came and went, calling each other, as if their mouths were full of honey .Fortunately, I often speak good things about them in front of my uncle, but I never thought it was all fucking fake! These big liars! Everyone can be trusted!"

After he gnawed two mouthfuls of meat viciously, he continued to curse: "And that bitch, she is also an unreliable guy! You think you are a formal mage?! Bah! Don't you just know a flying spell and an acceleration spell?" What's the use? Just shoot her to death with a crossbow! Hmph, with a stern face all day long, do you really think you are a noble mage? Pooh! When I saw her for the first time, she was wearing clothes all over her body. Coarse clothes, all the pockets are filled with some inexplicable disgusting things. What kind of lard, bat feces, thankfully she can bear the stench!"
