wandering fairy

Bovodi let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Who said I was relaxed, the promotion just now consumed a lot of my energy. Maybe I will have to eat an extra roast duck to make up for it after I go back. The money You must accompany me."

The Duke of Sauers had already walked in, and he said happily in his heart: "I will give the money to you, Teacher Powardi." Then they introduced each other: "Reverend Holder was at home yesterday, so there are some things that are not right. It’s easy to say. I’m going to invite the two of you to come here today to discuss this important matter! Pastor Speth is here this time not only on behalf of the Goddess of Luck Church, but also on behalf of the local God of War Church.”

But Povoldy interrupted: "Wait, why does the Church of the God of War oppose Giffen City? As far as I know, Giffen City has trained a large number of Austrian soldiers, which is exactly what the God of War Arik likes. "

Speth nodded and said: "Cruth has indeed built a training camp for arcane soldiers and cultivated a large number of talents. But these people have been indoctrinated by him with the idea of ​​the supremacy of mages. So that after they came out, not only could they not integrate into the Church of God of War, Instead, it helped the mage of Giffen City to speak and expand its influence. The high-level church has long been dissatisfied with this, but it is inconvenient to take the initiative to intervene, and Giffen City has a huge local influence, so it is not easy to object. This time, taking advantage of this Opportunities let our Lady Luck Church come here instead of them. And let us secretly bring some of the best siege magic tools! Just in case!"

The Duke of Sauers introduced: "Mr. Bovodi came this time, one is to represent the steel heart flow, and the other is to come to handle this matter under the carte blanche of the Austrian Law Federation. Therefore, all important matters are handled by Bowardi. Mrs. Woody made up his mind immediately."

Speth smiled at Powardi and said, "You're not bad at all. You actually became the plenipotentiary representative of the Arcane Union? Tell me! Did you also secretly learn arcane arts? Could it be that you also became an arcane soldier? ? Or an arcane assassin?"

Bovodi waved his hand and said: "I have practiced the martial arts of steel heart flow all my life, and I didn't come into contact with the Austrian Law Federation until I was in my 40s. I am already old, how can I still learn it? It's just that my current wife is A specially appointed mage of the Arcane Federation. And it is not good for the Arcane Federation to take the initiative to take the initiative. I am afraid that the people of Giffen City will be alerted, so I was specially invited to be the plenipotentiary representative of this operation."

Speth sneered twice and said: "Cruth thinks he is a genius, but in fact he is just a stubborn dog who got lucky! More than 90 years ago, he rode the sub-giants to wreak havoc on the Western Continent. The withered land took the opportunity to build Giffen City. He has been dreaming of his spring and autumn dreams for so many years! Hehe, but he didn’t know that he had offended everyone. This time we all act together, he will still be able to survive , that devil can turn into an angel. He openly humiliated our Goddess of Luck Church in the Principality of Hereford a few years ago, causing my teacher to return to the Kingdom of God early. This time I really want to see how miserable his death is! "

Powardi took out a letter and said: "If Giffen City is resolved this time, dozens of surrounding countries will undergo major changes! The relevant interests of our participants in this area must be clearly divided before that. This is We have preliminary opinions on Steel Heart Flow and the Arcane Union. I believe that you also brought the opinions on the division of interests from the Church of the God of War Arik."

Speth took out two thick letters and said with a laugh, "It's not just the Church of God of War? There's also the Principality of Hereford!"

Povoditch said: "Even the Principality of Hereford is participating? Aren't they being taken care of by Giffen City?"

Speth sneered and said, "Take care? Huh! He is helping the principality in name, but actually he has placed his direct line of mages in important positions. Now the mages in the entire principality are more powerful than ever. He defends them in everything. The interests of the partners are even more hateful than robbers! They don’t even pay attention to the god of war, Arik, which has caused dissatisfaction among countless noble believers. Now the confrontation between the two sides is like a pair of grasshoppers in a bottle. It is about to explode. It was the secret obstruction of these Giffen City mages that allowed those unruly nobles to go out independently and form their own country. For this matter, generations of kings can only be resentful, and of course they will not give up this time Great opportunity for revenge."

Bovody nodded with a smile, but he knew in his heart that the king's thoughts were probably not only on revenge, nor on regaining territory and power.Maybe he has already set his sights on the seven or eight rich small kingdoms around him!As long as the backstage of these small kingdoms - Giffen City collapses, then these countries can be taken down in one fell swoop with the help of the Arik Church of God of War, the Austrian Law Federation, and even Steel Heart Flow!And Arik Church probably has other plans!I heard that the Arik Church in the Northeast Sea has already started some actions, and some people have even joined forces with the Austrian Federation.Hmph, the richest east and the most remote and poorest lizard west moved together. It seems that they also want to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Hum, what a game of chess.

turn out to be.Everyone in the world has a big game of chess!

The strong sunlight in the afternoon shone on the bag of gold coins in Grimm's hand, emitting a dazzling golden light, which immediately made him extremely happy.After hastily put away the hundred gold coins, he took out an emblem and handed it to Dongzi, and said, "With this emblem on your body, you can freely enter and leave Giffen City during the day. But be careful, at night, you will be able to enter and exit Giffen City freely." I don’t care about the emblem. So you have to go out of the city before the sun sets, otherwise you have to stay in the city for one night. The cost there is very high. Let’s go. Let’s go to the mage tower of Archmage Bain Harley now. But I I also want to explain that you must not bring high-level magic equipment in! Because there are prophecy magic equipment installed at the gate of the city. Some can see through all magic disguises and true seeing, and some can detect magic aura. Detectors can determine the spells hidden in magic wands and staffs. Anyway, except for potions, everything can be detected clearly."

Dongzi nodded. Although he knew that the price to get this emblem must be less than 100 gold coins, he didn't want to waste time with Grimm for such a trivial matter.So after accepting the gold coins, he put the water mist scepter, magic dispersing token and wind controlling token in the gift box.He also arranged for Budbe and Lelin to watch in the mansion, and followed Grimm to Giffen City not far away.

After passing through the lively market, we arrived at the gate of Giffen City.Giffen City has several gates.But all are square like the one in front of you!It looks very awkward.

I saw a few arcane pioneers and a few middle-level mages check the emblems at the gate of the three-person height and let them in.Dongzi was surprised by his carelessness. After entering the city, seeing that there were not many passers-by around, he asked in a low voice, "Why are they so lax? They let us in without even looking at them. It's better than Harmonwell. The guards at the gates of the town are inferior! If there are enemies attacking the city, will these middle-level mages be able to stop them??"

Grimm laughed and said, "There are various spells on that city gate to resist foreign enemies. It's hard for them to relax!"

Dongzi immediately asked, "What kind of spells are there?"

Grimm pointed to the square gate and said, "Look at that gate, why is it square? Because when it releases the rainbow light wall, it can block the entire city gate. And the inner and outer sides of the city gate Each has a magic rune, you can see that it is the green one. It can release the space lock, so that people who force their way in can no longer use spells to teleport themselves out. In addition, the other spells on the gate can protect people who pass through the gate. Release waves of fatigue and exhaustion to ensure that you will have no strength to fight after rushing in. What's more, you can release powerful range-extending spider skills on the ground. Even a team of cavalry can't jump over! If necessary, two people in the aisle of the city gate The side spell can also release acid mist, cloud of death and cloud burning, which will definitely let you go in and die."

Excitedly, he pointed to the sky and said, "So if we want to enter the city, we can only attack from the sky. But there are ballistas with magical effects everywhere on the city wall, and it is guaranteed that one will die if one goes up."

Dongzi secretly sighed, it turned out that it was tight inside and loose outside.With the protection of these spells, it would be foolish to attack the city directly.However, such precious utensils can only be installed in this city of mages.It is impossible for other kingdoms, except for the metropolises, to have such good protection measures.

Entering the wide and straight streets in Giffen City, you will find its magnificence and splendor!

On both sides of the broad street are seven or eight-story high-rise buildings, and they have various shapes. Some are like square boxes, but the walls are decorated with colorful geometric patterns, which have a special abstract atmosphere; Up to ten stories high.The doors and windows above are composed of beautiful shell-shaped arcs, showing an exotic atmosphere; there is also a castle-like building composed of several huge building blocks, which is both mighty and lovely.

In the distance, several mage towers that look like skyscrapers stand tall and tall.Or monstrous and graceful, like a bud on a thick branch, or cast like a silver ball on the top of a tower.The colors are also colorful, like giant exotic plants rising from the ground and blooming in the sun.

But what makes Dongzi feel the most obvious is the powerful spell fluctuation here!And what is certain is that there are quite a few detection spells running, keeping an eye on the entire area!These forces sweep back and forth.It's like the wind blowing back and forth, hot and cold, dry and humid.It makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Then they came to the clichéd place - the core of Giffen City, the Arcane Academy.

After entering the interior.Finally, some green vegetation can be seen, but the shape of the building becomes monotonous, and there are blue-gray buildings neatly arranged, which really looks like a teaching building.Only the occasional tall towers and sharp tops can make people understand that this is the Academy of Arcane Studies, not the school of Earth.

Then came to an open green field, and there are several fresh small lakes dotted in it, which is quite a pleasant scenery.And several giant mage towers like tall buildings stand in this area.Dongzi thought to himself: Building these mage towers into such a beautiful place, it has a bit of a villa flavor.It seems that these high-level mages are not the nerds who only know how to study in the legend, they really have a bit of interest in life.

Then, when they knocked on the door of the mage tower of mage Bain Harley, Dongzi discovered that mages really have a lot of fun in life.

A female mage wearing a light mage robe opened the door. She was less than [-] years old, and her big eyes were particularly bright and watery, matching her gorgeous rose-like face.It really fascinated countless boys.The pink mage robe on her body was so thin that it was almost translucent, and the enchanting and charming willow body could be vaguely seen inside.It's like a burst of powder mist covering the delicate body, which makes people's hearts restless.I want to reach in and stroke it gently.And the look in her eyes is a little spring after the rain, it should be because she just had a good time with Ren Yan.It's just that its color is not correct, as if it has never been satisfied.

In a lazy and moving tone, she asked the two to follow her upstairs.When walking up the circle of rocky stairs, Dongzi only felt that all kinds of spell fluctuations were dispersed in this tall mage tower, and even the walls were filled with some powerful spells!Some fluctuations are quite ferocious, obviously some powerful killing spells.It seems that if you want to rush in and kill the mage with a strong attack, you have to pile up the corpses.

Go to one of the floors.The female mage slowly opened the oak arch.A white-haired old man was sitting in a luxurious room waiting for them with a bit of exhaustion—he was the archmage Bain Harley who had mastered an eighth-level arcane technique.

"You want to understand the process of controlling elements?" The white-haired and white-bearded old man suddenly smiled, as if he saw his prey: "Since you are a priest of the gods, then just use the abilities bestowed on you by the gods. Why? Do you want to study it?"

Dongzi said indifferently: "The great god Akuodi guides us to discover our own hobbies and potentials, and I am very interested in supernormal things, and I want to know how the transformation process is going on. At the same time, I would like to understand this The potential function of this ability is deeply excavated, and it can be used more to serve the cause of God and Earth. I once prayed to the great Akudi about this matter. He did not object." Then he suddenly showed a different smile: "Aren't there many mages who believe in gods who are also studying the similarities and differences between arcane magic and divine magic?"

Bain Harley laughed and said: "I'm just asking casually, please don't take it to heart. It's just that you said that your ability is a supernatural power bestowed by God, but my ability to control elements is like magic. There is a difference between the two. It's very different, and I don't know if it can help you. Maybe you and I have been busy for a long time but have nothing in the end."

Dongzi smiled and said: "Supernatural power and magic-like ability are different, but the essence is to shape various energies in the universe into specific forms to produce specific effects. The fundamental core is the same, only However, the way of borrowing the power of the universe is different. However, there are some similarities in the differences. Although it cannot be grafted directly, it can be used as a reference material for research, which may inspire me."

Bain Harley's old face suddenly became serious again, and he pondered: "I haven't seen such a rational priest like you for a long time. How could God Akudi choose someone like you to be a priest? I think you are like Drew from the Eastern Continent Where is Yi?"

Dongzi's heart shuddered, it was a druid from the Eastern Continent again!But why are there few introductions in the books I read before?In a sudden turn of his mind, he had already opened his mouth to cover up: "Have you never heard of a saying--it is better to teach by example! What the great God Akudi is pleased with is to let believers find their own interests and goals, and earnestly Cultivate and develop it. Let dreams and hobbies become a living life. Restricting one's interests and imprisoning one's dreams are strongly opposed by God Akuodi! And I will take the responsibility of my own, and use my special interests and hobbies Show it to everyone and let them know that under the blessing of God Akudi, all dreams can have a chance to be realized!"

Seeing his "righteous and strict" appearance, Bernhard could only nod his head a few times with "um, um".Although he doesn't have much research on the teachings of the God of Air, it sounds like it's true—I heard that some paranoid priests of the God of Air are often obsessed with various practicalities or secrets. Sexual biological experiments.For example, trying to breed faster and smoother hounds or racing dogs, studying how long orcs are strong enough to survive a violent storm, or investing a lot of effort in researching artificial flying wings for cats.

Perhaps this is their peculiar tradition.Whatever he does.The most important thing to oneself is another thing.

So the old man went straight to the point: "But I paid a very high price to obtain this ability. So you can't learn it if you want to. You know, tuition is very necessary."

Dongzi asked lightly: "If you want to learn thoroughly, how much money do you need?"

Bernhard responded with a special smile: "Twenty thousand gold coins."

Even though Dongzi was prepared, he was still taken aback: "It costs [-] gold coins to learn this kind of ability? It's too expensive!"

Bainharley said without changing his smile: "Expensive? This is already quite cheap! This pastor, do you know what conditions are required to control the elements?" Seeing Dongzi shaking his head, he said solemnly and proudly: " You need to occupy an eighth-level spell slot! That is to say, you need to master an eighth-level arcane spell first, and then give it up before you can get this ability! I only mastered an eighth-level arcane spell, the polar ice ray, two years ago. But in order to study the ability to control the elements, I had to reluctantly give it up, and used my only eighth-level spell slot to study the spells controlled by the elements. I paid a very high price, and the price cannot be lowered .”

Dongzi kept his face calm, and after a little thought, he said, "This amount of money is really too much. Even the kings of some small countries may not be able to pay it at once. Let alone a priest like me? Please allow me to think about it for a few days." "Bainharley continued to smile proudly: "Of course, I am in this mage tower every day, and you can come to me at any time. In fact, I also hope to communicate with an outstanding magician. "

After coming down from the thick mage tower, Dongzi didn't say a word, which made Grimm think he was sulking.It wasn't until he left the gate of the academy that Dongzi suddenly said, "Grimm, I understand you now."

Grimm was puzzled: "Understand? Understand what?"

Dongzi seemed to sigh: "I understand why you are desperate for money. It is impossible to complete such an expensive study fee without huge wealth! I see that many poor students can only get together their tuition fees by going to robbers." Just said Seeing that Grimm looked a little embarrassed, he asked, "What? Is there really someone going to rob?"

Grimm motioned him to keep his voice down: "You just need to know about this kind of thing, don't talk about it everywhere! There are detection spells everywhere here, it's not good to be overheard."

Dongzi looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see any obvious magic detection equipment. Instead, he saw many students wearing mage robes coming in and out in twos and threes.It's just that most of the expressions are serious, and the eyes are half gorgeous longing, half helpless confusion.

Dongzi looked up at the clear sky in bewilderment: What is the future of me and this door?When will it be as transparent as the sky?
