Magic Industrial Age

The team prepared by Duke Avra was, first and foremost, a thirteen-man knight order.

Though the number didn't seem like much, they were definitely true fully armored knights, with complete sets of pitch-black armor covering their warhorses as well.

Standing there, one could only see their massive noses exhaling two streams of white air, their majesty and killing intent washing over like a tide, sending chills down one's spine.

Luo Yi stood beside them, carefully discerning that the three leading them were at least Third-Order Transcendent Knights.

Their aura was thick and overbearing, possessing the might to crush everything beneath their iron hooves.

Besides them, there were two others who were clearly trackers.

One was male and the other female, both with slender figures and strong, powerful thighs. They wore dark leather armor, with hand crossbows and curved short swords at their waists.

Even as they stood there, they unconsciously surveyed their surroundings, their eyes darting about as if trying to imprint the entire environment into their minds.

The one who spoke to Luo Yi was a black-robed mage.

He was handsome and of considerable age, though his eyes had a somewhat sinister look. However, he was quite gentle in his attitude towards Luo Yi.

He even inquired about Luo Yi's strength, asking if he could keep up with the team's speed and whether he needed any special arrangements.

This was also the only one whose name Luo Yi knew. The pretty girl introduced him as Pal Paul, a court mage of the Norman Duchy, with a noble status and extraordinary strength.

Behind him followed two others, both dressed as mages.

One of them was unique, being blind, with scars covering both eyes, rendering him unable to see.

However, he seemed to have special methods, which didn't hinder his observation of his surroundings. He was unaffected whether walking, sitting, or lying down.

The other was also unique, looking like a human, but with emerald green skin and hair like branches, and patterns on his skin that were either painted on or natural.

At first glance, he even resembled the texture of trees.

Luo Yi didn't know where Duke Avra had found so many strange-looking people, but after they truly set off, he understood that tracking the specific location depended on these oddballs.

Luo Yi was with Pal Paul, and they rode warhorses, setting off with the thirteen knights.

The two trackers had vanished from sight as soon as they left the manor.

The last two mages each took out a magic carpet, lay prone on it, and maximized the carpet's speed to keep up with the galloping horses.

In this era where transportation was not widespread, the best way to quickly traverse distances was by riding a horse.

Luo Yi also knew this and had consciously trained his horsemanship, so he didn't reveal any weakness at this moment.

However, even though the stability of the magic warhorses was excellent, over time, he performed even worse than the mage Pal Paul beside him.

Even though he was being jostled uncomfortably, Luo Yi still clearly saw the methods this group used to track.

First, the thirteen knights were just guards. The direction they advanced was entirely guided by the two trackers.

Even if the direction was the same, many places were impassable. Therefore, the two trackers would mark out the roads that could be traveled, allowing the knights to pass.

Second, the one who truly played a tracking role was the blind mage.

This one was indeed blind, but this blindness was his own choice because he used some kind of classical alchemy to create a full nine magic eyes, and then fixed his vision upon himself.

Luo Yi had once taken out two snake eyes from a basilisk, which Madam Linda had someone refine into a kind of pupil technique for long-distance enemy detection.

That was a kind of magic eye!

And this person had a full nine magic eyes hanging on his body, each with its own characteristics. They hovered in the sky, monitoring the surroundings at all times with himself as the center.

Depending on the amount of magic power provided and the type of magic eye, his vision could be exaggerated to tens or hundreds of kilometers, and also have various special effects depending on the magic eye.

For example, infrared effects, specializing in finding heat sources.

For example, life force fields, specializing in finding living beings with strong auras.

They could also be considered to have taken on a rare profession called: Magic Eye Mage.

Having just heard this from Pal Paul, Luo Yi was stunned and looked at the blind mage as if he were a celestial being.

This was literally cultivating himself into a human-shaped radar?!

Of course, there was no free lunch in this world. This blind mage was really just a radar. His entire body's magic power was occupied by the magic eyes, leaving him with no other abilities.

In other words, this was something that only great nobles or royalty would specially support. Ordinary mages would never take this path.

And that mage who looked like a tree person was also an anomaly among mages, called a Forest Walker. It was said that their lineage originated from the druid profession of another race.

They had the ability to communicate with vegetation. Although there was no language, they could use telepathy and affinity with plants to get these flowers and plants to do some simple things for them.

For example, tracking and determining the location of the enemy.

People leave traces, let alone two powerful individuals fighting. Wherever they passed through vegetation, they would leave traces.

And this person could determine the approximate location, and even the route they took, by communicating with the vegetation.

The reason Duke Avra was able to determine that Oliveira was being hunted was because this person had heard it from the vegetation.

This person was somewhat stronger than the Magic Eye Mage. Although they didn't have the druid's transformation ability, they could cultivate some powerful magic plants and also had a certain amount of combat power.

However, there were also many 'precepts' they needed to abide by.

For example, they couldn't wear shoes and had to walk barefoot. For example, they couldn't make fires in the forest, etc.

As for the last court mage, Pal Paul, he was the core of this team, wearing at least five dimensional bags all over his body.

The thing he took out the most was actually short-range transmission scrolls. Every time he contacted someone, he would tear one up, issue orders, or communicate.

From what Luo Yi saw, he had already used seven or eight scrolls in a short period of time, which was simply inhumanly extravagant.

It was not hard to imagine how many gold Tinders this search and rescue would cost.

However, Luo Yi also had to admit that this trip had opened his eyes. Old nobles indeed had remarkable foundations and methods.

Magic-powered machinery might be the trend of this era, but classical magic still had its own glory.

This journey of riding at full speed lasted for two full hours, and the sky had completely darkened. The magic warhorses showed their extraordinary qualities.

Each of them had glowing eyes, like lights in the night, able to clearly see the road, and they ran without the slightest pause.

At this time, they were already in the wilderness, and all directions looked pitch black.

If Luo Yi were alone, he would probably have lost his way long ago.

When they arrived here, Pal Paul gave an order, and everyone began to stop, rest, feed and water the horses, and take out dry food to casually fill their stomachs.

Of course, the most important thing was to move their stiff muscles and maintain their combat power.

They rested for only ten minutes, and then everyone continued to mount their horses and gallop into the night.

After repeating this several times, Luo Yi only knew that they had rested a total of four times. When he looked up again, the sky was already showing a fish-belly white.

The sky had already dawned. After galloping all night, Luo Yi didn't know how far he had traveled from Oakland City, but even roughly calculated, it should be hundreds of miles away.

He just didn't know how long this search would take.

But at this moment, the forest mage seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly stood up, listened intently for a moment, and then jumped off the magic carpet.

Barefoot on the ground, a green halo spread outward. Wherever it passed, the vegetation swayed, responding as if it were alive.

"Here! Here! It's here!"

This was the voice of the forest mage, hoarse like the friction between branches.

Immediately afterward, the blind mage also made a move. Above his head, nine huge eyeballs actually appeared.

They seemed to be squeezed out of the void, shooting out rays of light as solid as substance, locking onto the front and constantly approaching.

At this moment, before Luo Yi could even react, Pal Paul made a series of continuous movements.

First, he raised a hand and pointed to the sky. The gemstone ring on his finger shone brightly, forming a ball of flame that shot straight into the sky. After exploding, it turned into a dazzling light, bright but not extinguished, hanging there.

At the same time,

Not far away, in the sky, a person with azure battle aura blooming, transformed into a fierce beast form, seemed to have sensed something. With a thought, he flapped his wings and flew, turning into a gust of wind, stirring up a sky full of waves.

In another place, a man with a height of three meters, a burly and strong physique, and an ugly face, also seemed to have sensed something.

He began to run wildly, his big feet stomping on the ground, so that the earth trembled with a rumbling sound.

Wherever he passed, there was no concept of avoidance. Trees and rocks were directly smashed, rampaging like a bulldozer.

Here,

Pal Paul took out another gemstone, infused it with magic power, and threw it directly at his feet.

So, rippling circles spread outward, enveloping and marking everyone.

Finally, he took out scrolls one after another, tearing and using them in various ways. Layers of magic began to be applied to everyone.

The Magic Eye Mage and the Forest Walker directly drove the magic carpet and began to retreat to the rear.

They were not combat personnel, so naturally they didn't need to get in the way here.

And the two trackers had not appeared from beginning to end.

At this time, the thirteen knights had already assembled in front, forming a standard charge formation, with swords drawn and breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

It was also at this time that Pal Paul had time to turn his head, look at Luo Yi, and say: "Young master, be careful of your own safety for a while, don't get too close."

"Or, run as far as you can!"

Before Luo Yi could reply, he felt a vibration coming, the earth seemed to be rippling, and the rumbling sound was endless.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes turned into eagle eyes, and locked onto the front.

He saw that a battle aura slash seemed to sweep across the sky and the earth, and the ochre-yellow light filled his vision.

And a man, surrounded by battle aura, was like a candle in the wind. Although he resisted desperately, he was cut and flew out, like a kite with a broken string.

That person was Oliveira!

Luo Yi almost instinctively prepared to rush up, but faster than him were the thirteen powerful knights, who had already launched a charge in a roar.

The second update will be a little late!
