[This volume is about to unfold. The various countries are in chaos. Well, it is definitely not a peaceful day. wWW,QuanBen-XiaoShuo,comThe comment area cannot reply one by one. I would like to say here that the pace of this book is gradually accelerating. The chaos in the mainland has emerged, so there is no need to worry about the dull story behind it. My updates will gradually speed up, and I will definitely finish the book, so feel free to collect and recommend it to give me more motivation]
Salin couldn't sleep, so he took out his family's coat of arms and rubbed it in his hands. It has been almost a year since I left Ceylon. So many things have happened, each one of them thrilling.
I can't go back home, and living here with Princess Rex is not a long-term solution. I want to find a teacher, but I don’t have the ability yet. The teacher directly offended the nobles and magicians of Scotia, and he will definitely return to the Qinyin Empire. The empire is so big, where can he find it
I originally thought that by becoming a magician, I would have everything. Now that I see so many magicians around the princess, my original thoughts were so ridiculous. If I didn't leave the city of Ceylon, I would never understand this truth.
The moonlight shines in from the window, and it looks very much like my own ancestral house, which also has stone walls, but with Nailis beside me, it is not so lonely and cold.
Shika also had to hurry up and take care of her affairs. She followed him initially just to make some money and feed the young and old in the village. Now that she has made money, she has made her afraid to go back and take a look. If there was no Holy See, I wouldn't be in such embarrassment. Damn the Holy See.
The more he thought about the past, the more Salin couldn't sleep. He simply sat up and started practicing magic.
Since meeting the Sorcerer, Saleen has learned techniques to dissipate magic. That is, after a magic is completed and released, it is controlled to dispel the magic. This has no practical significance, but can only improve the accuracy of magic control.
Salin's practice has always been about pursuing perfection. Once he masters this skill, he must review it every time he practices. He started practicing magic at level 0 and used it in every way, carefully controlling the speed of release and then dispelling it.
He has mastered less than 10 level 0 magics, in order - Reading, Poison Detection, Magic Alarm, Underwater Breathing, Fluorescence, Confusion Mist, Acid Splash, and Cleansing. Burning spells like fire and wind-based invisible shields can no longer be used. His magic string does not support magic other than water.
Saleen mastered the first-level magic very solidly, including - Ice Cone, Frost Array, Repairing Water, Ice Bullet, Ice Ring, and Water Pattern Shield.
After that, Saleen learned the second-level magic and the third-level magic at the same time. Among the second-level magic, only the ice arrow technique was fully mastered, followed by the control type of water entanglement and the continuous damage type of poisonous mist. There were not many other water magics to learn, so Saleen spent most of his energy on three third-level magics.
Ice blade, illusory swamp, acid rain.
These three magics reflect the resilience, changeability, and sustainability of water magic. Needless to say, the ice blade, in the hands of a magician, a pure level 3 magic can disperse a level 6 fireball. The duration of the illusory swamp is more than half an hour. Although the range is still small, the control power exceeds that of some advanced magic. Saleen can make this control magic that is similar to a single attack last for more than an hour.
Acid rain causes large-scale damage and is relatively rare among third-level magic. Generally, this phenomenon occurs only in fourth-level magic. Saleen originally learned this magic because there were not many magic options to choose from. Later, he understood the importance of cooperating with warriors and became more serious about learning this magic.
White magic light kept flashing in Salin's hands, illuminating the dark room. Salin knew that he was not a genius. Only by working harder could he defeat time and become a magician. When the magic string was about to expire, Salin let his spiritual power enter the necklace and began to learn Figaro's magic formula. When his mental power was almost exhausted, he would use the family crest to drain all the energy from his body.
The negative state lasted for half an hour and disappeared. Salin held the third-level magic core and began to meditate.
Over and over again, a night passed. When Salin opened his eyes, someone had already brought water for washing his face to the door. Nailis was guarding the door, not letting anyone in.
"Master, they have already started eating." Nailis licked her lips, feeling a little hungry again.
Salin slapped his forehead. He only focused on studying, which was a bit rude. Fortunately, he already knew yesterday that he was entering the city in the afternoon, so Salin didn't use magic. He washed his face in a hurry, dried his hands, and let the soldiers lead the way to the restaurant.
This restaurant is not small, and it is usually a place where officers eat. Princess Rex brought a hundred battle mages and filled the restaurant. The mages had finished their meal, and Scott was talking to Princess Rex. Seeing Salin walking in, Princess Rex waved.
Salin smiled and walked over calmly.
"Sit down." Princess Rex pointed to her side, and someone immediately moved two chairs.
"Where's Sikka?" Salin and Nailis sat down. Ever since Nailis asked the Silver Sword Master's confession, everyone no longer treats her as a maid. Salin found no trace of Sika and couldn't help but ask.
Princess Rex laughed, which made Scott feel shaken and had to lower his head.
"She was so bored that she went to exchange martial arts skills with the soldiers."
Salin frowned, and then thought that nothing would happen. He could see that Scott was trying to please Princess Rex, but he just didn't show any trace. Although there are many powerful people in the imperial capital, it is also the place where the laws of the empire are strictly enforced. I am a little too nervous.
"Master Mage, what do you want to eat?" Scott asked kindly. He saw Salin sitting carelessly next to the princess, and thought he might as well make some friends.
"There are rules in the military camp, so let's get some snacks." Salin pointed at the plate of the mage opposite. He doesn't want any special treatment. Mage is respected not because of arrogance, but because you have power and knowledge. Everyone has finished eating. After the meal, you can have snacks and tea, and you can eat whatever you want.
"Scott, let's talk about the Giant Lizard Trading Company. What happened next?" Princess Rex interrupted Scott's greetings and asked.
Scott coughed awkwardly and said: "The giant lizard trading company has developed in the imperial capital. Of course the four big families cannot accommodate them. You also know that in the imperial capital, force cannot solve the problem. It is rare for the four major families to unite to solve the problem. We held the largest auction in history, and forced the Lizard Trading Company’s auction to completely fail, with no one going at all.”
Salin's ears perked up. The four major families? Aini's Clyde family is one of them. Can a family with a business background also have power in Holy Rock City
"Those who have received benefits from the Lizard Trading Company are allowed to do whatever they want?" Princess Rex asked.
"Of course I refused. Later, the matter came to His Majesty's side."
"What did father say?"
"Your Majesty said, this is not Scotia, so you should stop caring about the business of the business. Those people can only leave the imperial capital in disgrace and lose all their money."
"Lost all your money? I can't see it. The Lizard Trading Company has finally taken the line of the House of Commons. In less than five years, there will be nobles in the family behind the business. There is a benefit for the people in the House of Commons. After receiving the money, they will On the surface, my father supports the four major families, but he is also dissatisfied in his heart. They have made too much money from purchasing weapons in recent years, and they have forgotten who is supporting them." Princess Rex said disapprovingly.
"Actually, weapons are nothing. Over the years, the four major families have trained many magicians."
"There is nothing we can do about it. The empire is not allowed to maintain private soldiers. Their caravans travel all over the continent and want to compete with the Scotia people. They can't do it without force protection. After this incident, are there any changes in the personnel of the House of Commons? "
"The old Duke of Bergen has passed away. There is an extra vacancy in the House of Commons, but there has been no nomination. It is said that His Majesty is not satisfied with several candidates."
"My father will not interfere in the affairs of the House of Commons. It was my uncle's intention to use this vacancy to attract undecided people. Scott, if you want to stay in the imperial capital, you can't just take it at face value."
Scott smiled and did not answer. Princess Rex could say this, but he could not. It is very taboo for soldiers to discuss politics. Even if he inherited his father's title, he would not be considered a figure in the imperial capital.
Salin was confused and could only have a vague idea that not everyone could stay in this imperial capital.
As he was talking, there was a noise outside. Scott called out for a soldier. A soldier walked in. Scott asked, "What's going on outside?"
"The princess's female warrior is competing with the violent bear."
"Nonsense!" Scott was a little annoyed. He had met Sikka yesterday and had a good impression. She was a cute female warrior who probably warmed the mage's bed. Comparing strength with a violent bear? If he got hurt, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the princess.
"It's okay, Salin, if you finish eating, you can take a look." Princess Rex did not let Scott continue to reprimand the soldiers. She knew that Sika was very strong, and the violent bear the soldier was talking about was probably a soldier. of Hercules. It is rare to see a competition between a weak-looking beauty and a strong man, but this time I came here to win over a group of people in the army. It would be a good idea to use this matter to get acquainted with the people in the imperial garrison.
The place for the competition was the square where soldiers usually practiced. By this time, thousands of people had gathered around. As soon as Princess Rex arrived, the soldiers hurriedly got out of the way. Inside, Sikka was competing with a warrior who was more than two heads taller than her.
Sika's height is already considered very tall among women. Salin has grown a lot now and is still about the same height as Sika. This burly warrior was bare-chested and had his bare hands on Sikka's arms. The two were purely comparing their strength. The muscles on his body were bulging, and the leather shorts on his lower body were shiny. His feet were bare, and he looked like a cook.
The soldiers were originally clamoring to cheer for both sides, but as soon as Princess Rex arrived, the scene immediately became quiet. The soldier was suddenly distracted and glanced outside the field. Sika didn't care why he was using his hands hard. The soldier's feet were unstable and he lost his center of gravity. Sika took a step forward and raised the soldier's arm to reach him. With just one punch under his armpit, the burly warrior flew out.
She failed to land a fatal blow with this punch. The soldier landed, beat the ground hard, and said angrily: "This time it doesn't count!"
Sika raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why doesn't it count?"
"I...I can't possibly lose to you!" This burly soldier obviously had no eloquence, but the surrounding soldiers laughed. Princess Rex also smiled. Sika's actions were quite measured, not bad. She didn't know yet that if Salin hadn't reminded him, Sika's punch would have at least made the violent bear vomit blood.
"That violent bear, come here." Princess Rex pointed to the warrior still lying on the ground and said softly.
