"Cow! What a fucking cow!"

Xia rubbed her hands together with a fascinated look on her face: "As you say, what Merlin does is really a sign of Lao Tzu's appetite. She should be the number one powerhouse in Landis, right? The leader of Landis' magic union. Is it her?"

Duoduo smiled: "Master, you should really learn common sense."

Looking at Xia Ya's expression, Dodo did not dare to anger the uncle, and quickly said: "Lantis does not have a magic union." He smiled bitterly: "The three major powers, the Odins believe in their Odins. Theogony, with the main god Odin plus a group of other gods. But these are regarded as heretical by us. When it comes to religion, strictly speaking, we Byzantium and Landis are the same clan, and we believe in the only true god of human beings in this world. Only However, because of the difference in teachings, the Lantis people believe in the Western sect, while we in Byzantium belong to the Eastern sect. Originally, they all descended from the same line, but the two sects had differences in their teachings. Later, they became like fire and water, claiming to be Orthodox, see each other as evil heretics. This difference in the same sect is more and more unpleasant to see each other, even more than hating the heretics of Odin."

Xiaya pouted: "What's so strange about this."

Tu Turtle looked at the sky and said with a sneer: "It's like a family, two brothers have a lot of trouble separating the family, and they have to take the big bucks. No matter how much the neighbors hate it, if the door is closed, it's an outsider after all, and it won't endanger the family anyway. However, if you don’t get the upper hand when you divide your family’s property, it will be in your own interests.”

"So!" Dodoro smiled bitterly: "In the past when the two countries were at their worst, even our Byzantine church said that even if we would not hesitate to unite with Odin, we would also destroy Landis' heresies. Once There have been times in history when the imperial power was weak, the power of the church became bigger, it affected the political situation of the empire, and even started a holy war, which triggered several national wars between us and Landis."

"Don't talk about that." Char shook his head: "I just ask Merlin, what is the origin of this witch in Landis? Is it the leader of the Landis Church?"

"That's not it." Dodoro laughed: "The church structure in Landis is very similar to our Byzantine church. Our church leads the magic union, and they are similar. But the difference is that we are called magicians here. There is also a magic guild. But it is not called a magician in Lantis, but a 'wizard'."

Looking at Xia Ya's puzzled eyes, Dodoro continued: "Actually, our magician, the priest of Odin, and the wizard of Lantis, there is not much difference in essence. Because the religions are different. , the title is different. Although Landis does not have a magic guild, there is a 'wizard's guild', which is also under the leadership of their church. The president of the wizard's guild is equivalent to the chairman of the magic guild in our case. already."

"Then this Merlin must be the president of Lantis' wizarding guild?" Xia still had the idea of a idiot, believing that the most powerful person must be the greatest official.

"That... it's not." Dodoro smiled bitterly: "Merlin, a strong man, is eccentric by nature and doesn't like to be restrained, and his relationship with the Landis royal family is not so friendly. She is an official one in Landis. The title is 'Queen of Witchcraft'. Although she is not the president of the Wizarding Guild, she is currently the president of the Lantis Wizarding Guild, but she is her apprentice. Moreover, she is recognized as the number one person in the Lantis wizarding world. No matter what she said, the wizards of Landis did not dare to object. It can be said that it is not the guild leader, but it is better than the guild leader."

Xia Ya nodded: "Such a character is indeed unusual. Sigh... I have never met such a strong man. We Byzantium, don't we have a strong strong man like Merlin? The one you said The story, Merlin went to the magic union alone, and the three Byzantine mages lost all three competitions, doesn't it seem that the Byzantine mages are too wasteful?"

Duoduo's face changed, and then he whispered: "Master Xia, you can talk about this here, you can't talk nonsense outside. Otherwise, some powerful magician may be angered, and they may find it. You are in trouble. To say that Merlin's strength is naturally extremely powerful. But that competition is about the understanding and cultivation of the magic realm, but it is not necessarily the strength of the battle."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He sat on the ground and picked up a branch and gestured a few times on the ground: "According to the level of division, magicians are from level 1 to level 9, so it goes without saying. At level 9 and above, it is Magister. To obtain the qualification of a magister, it is not something that can be assessed by the magic union... Generally speaking, a magister is considered to be equivalent to a saint-level powerhouse... This statement is generally correct. However, there are a difference."

"What's the difference?"

"Simply put, a saint-level magician must be a magician. However, a magician may not necessarily be a saint-level magician." Duodoro said that he was very excited when he talked about his own line of work, and shook his head: "Magister, it is recognized that The standard is: to have extraordinary cultivation in a certain magic field. But you think, the magic world is infinite and has many fields, such as magic pharmacy, which is considered to be the most basic subject that all magicians must learn , but magic pharmacy is also a kind of magic field. If there is a magician, whose attainments in magic pharmacy have reached the pinnacle, he can also be considered as a magician... But no matter how proficient magic pharmacy is, it is nothing more than Dealing with raw materials of medicine all day long, if it is a competition of fighting strength, it may not even be as good as a high-level magician. In addition, in terms of the attainment of magic spells, Majik is a special language for magicians. Naturally, many magicians have spent their whole lives. Some magicians spend most of their energy on researching Majik, especially for improving and supplementing some ancient magic spells, and even often a spell can shorten one or two notes, or Changing the pronunciation is a great innovation and breakthrough. There is a magician in history who modified many spells, shortened the time for chanting the spells and modified the pronunciation without reducing the magic effect. , making the spells more fluent and easy to recite, such an achievement is also considered to be a magus in the field of magic spells... But when it comes to combat power, hehe..."

The last sentence "Haha" laughed dryly. Xia Ya naturally understood the implication. He nodded: "So, it seems that this magician may not be a saint."

"Holy level is specially used to measure combat strength. Generally speaking, a holy level magician generally has two conditions: first, a magister in a certain field, and secondly... must master At least one forbidden spell!"

Knowing that Xia Ya's common sense is lacking, he didn't even wait for Xia Ya to ask questions, Dotolo continued: "The so-called 'forbidden spells' are magic spells that are restricted from being used. Cause a huge disaster! Once the Forbidden Magic is used, it is so powerful that it can even destroy a heroic city with one person! One person can block an army! In the past, Merlin was at sea, and one person destroyed a Byzantine naval fleet. , the tsunami caused by it is a forbidden spell! Once she uses such a powerful magic and let the world know, then everyone will be sure that Merlin's magic strength has reached the level of the holy level."

"Then, does Byzantium have a magician who can ban spells?" Xia Ya was interested.

"Yes... that must be there." Dodo Luo's expression was a bit complicated: "We in Byzantium are very large, and the prosperity of the magical civilization is the first of the Three Kingdoms. There must be magicians who have mastered the forbidden spell. And throughout history, we Byzantine. The number of Forbidden Magicians emerging in the Empire is also the largest. Nowadays, there are only two Forbidden Magicians in Byzantium that are known, but those two powerful ones are not controlled by the Magic Union, and even... Yes The magic union is quite disrespectful. Moreover, it seems that for hundreds of years, our Byzantine Empire, whether it is a warrior or a magician, those who are powerful and stand at the top of the holy-level powerhouse, seem to be unwilling to serve the empire. Effectiveness, unlike Landis, although a strong man like Merlin is also arrogant by nature, he is still willing to help Landis when he is in trouble. Are we Byzantine... hehe... "

Xia nodded, and suddenly remembered something. In the ancient house of the Osgilia family, the story that Cavie Hill told... In the past, the last of the Tulip family, Archduke Luke, was killed by the royal family in the palace. There were Byzantine saint-level powerhouses who were willing to serve the royal family, but after Duke Luke was killed, the royal family went backwards, which aroused the disgust of the powerhouses on the mainland. Later, few powerhouses were willing to serve the Byzantine royal family.

Xia stopped talking, but Dotolo was still excited, and said some interesting legends about Merlin, his expression was full of admiration, and finally he sighed: "In this life, if you can become a powerful magician like Mr. Merlin. Master, even if I die in a while, it's worth it. Even if I can't... If I can get the favor of Lord Merlin and have her accept me as a disciple, then... "

"Ha!" Xia smiled, looked at Dodo Luo, and mocked: "You can go to apprenticeship, take a boat across the sea to Landis, find Merlin, kneel down and beg her to accept you."

Dodo Luo's face was a little weird: "This... Do you think I haven't thought about it? In today's world, the living magic powerhouse, Merlin-sama is the number one idol in my heart! I thought about it in my early years, no matter how difficult it is. Go to the door to worship a teacher."

Xia Ya nodded. Although Dodolo is usually timid and cowardly, he has never lacked courage on the road of magicians. He dared to go to the chaotic territory alone, and wanted to take a boat and cross the sea to find Merlin. It really can't be done.

"Why don't you go there?"

"Mr. Merlin has also accepted apprentices, but her old man has a strange request for apprentices: no matter how talented she is in magic, her old man only accepts female apprentices, and... not ordinary ones, they must be beautiful and moving. , the top-notch beauty of the city can be favored by her old man."

Only accept beautiful women

So... that stubborn big sister, she was really pretty when she was young

The four of them rested for a while, and ate some food indiscriminately, and then continued on their horses and drove all night.

When he was ready to go on the road, suddenly Philip whispered: "Lord Xia Ya, behind!"

Xia Ya was stunned for a moment. Seeing Philip's strange expression, as if he wanted to stop talking, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Looking back, sure enough!

Behind the road, there is a faint figure.

A horse came slowly from behind, followed by a few unmanned horses. There was a person sitting on the front of the horse. From a distance, it was the macho big sister!

When Xia Ya looked at it, her head suddenly felt big. Why didn't this guy give up, and he followed from a distance

When the stubborn big sister chased after him, Xia Ya sat on the horse, a little impatient, and said angrily: "Hey! Are you finished! Why are you chasing us like this!"

The macho elder sister sat on the horse and smiled: "Lord Xia Ya, this road is not your family's, you can walk, but I can't?"

"..." Xia was at a loss for words, but after all, he had nothing to refute, so he could only stare at her, and said in a muffled voice, "Get on the horse, we'll be on our way!"

With this departure, Xia Ya simply galloped with all his strength and did not care about the horsepower. He galloped all the way with all his strength, and was determined to get rid of the guy behind.

But after running for a full night, when it was dawn, I was so tired that I was so tired that I stopped, but I saw that on the road behind me, the big big sister was still biting tightly behind her! This macho big sister is obviously fully prepared, riding alone and bringing four spare horses! Although the horses are not as good as Xia Ya's horses, but fortunately, there are many horses, and a few horses are replaced by horses, and the horsepower is abundant. Although Xia Ya and others' horses are all first-class, they have been driving for several days in a row. No support, but finally can't get rid of the tail behind.

Turtles are helpless.

All men have this kind of mentality: No matter how disgusted, impatient, and reluctant they are in a woman who is crying and wanting to marry her, but even if she speaks coldly, you can't beat and kick the other party after all - that's too much Not a man anymore.

So, since you can't use force... Then Xiaya has no choice.

He could only hurry on the road, running wildly all the way. Several times he refused to stop and rest when he should rest. As a result, after running for several days, the tail behind him was not thrown off, and his horse was exhausted first.

Dotolo's horse was the first to fall down. He was the worst riding and would not save horsepower. His mounts and horses were exhausted one after another. Xi Ya gave one of his horses to Dodo, but As a result, after a day of running, his own high-class warhorse also foamed at the mouth, and forcibly stopped to rest for a while, but it didn't seem to be getting better.

Xia Ya was very distressed, especially Sharba was a little helpless, and persuaded: "You can't run anymore! Xia Ya, this horse of yours is rare, and we were born in cavalry. When cavalrymen don't know how to love horses, it is Don't do it! Your horse is so tired this way, you have a big weight, and you carry heavy weapons, and you gave the horse to Dotara... He can't rest all the way, and if he runs on, he will be really tired. dead."

"Unfortunately." Xia Ya was helpless.

At this moment, the journey is not far from Moore County. After two more days of running, you can enter the area of More County. As long as you reach the site of More County, Xiaya can station troops wherever she wants, reveal her identity, and use As the military commander of More County, he is in charge of the military affairs of the entire More County, and he can call horses on the spot. The stubborn big sister in the back is nothing more than bringing a lot of horses. At that time, she will get seven or eight horses to transfer each person, and she is afraid that she will not be able to get her tail off? !

Glancing at the back helplessly, the macho elder sister was sitting on the horse, holding the reins in one hand and dry food in the other, eating slowly.

"Damn, where is this bitch going with us!" Xia was furious.

"Of course I went to More County." Sharba held back a smile: "Xia Ya, didn't you report to your home and say that you are an officer of More County? Even if you get rid of it here, don't people know the way? , won't you find it yourself?"

Xia Ya was so angry that he slapped himself and cursed, "I'm so talkative!"

His eyes widened, his expression changed, and he finally slapped his thigh: "Damn, don't run! I'm exhausted with her! If she wants to follow, just follow! We should walk, we should rest!"

Hearing this, Dotolo cheered. He was the worst at it. He rode on horses for a long time, and a blister had already formed on the inner side of his thighs. Letting go, Dodoro finally shouted a few times: "Master is wise!"

He stopped and rested for a full night. In the night, Xiaya was full of anger, and he didn't sleep well, but all night, he heard Dotolo's pained cries when he picked up blisters.

After returning to the road the next day, Xiaya stopped running blindly and became more restrained. But after all, there was this sturdy big sister chasing behind, but it made everyone's rush time much earlier, and actually arrived in More County one day earlier than expected.

As an important grain-producing area in the northern part of the empire, the terrain of More County is dominated by flat plains. Every year, the cold climate from the north to the south and the warm climate from the south to the north are intertwined here, forming sufficient precipitation, the climate is warm and humid, and moist The land in this area is fertile.

Crossing a river, even if you have entered the territory of More County, Xiaya once passed the river with Fatty Ruhl when he went south. When he went south, he was still in white. Now he comes back here and sees the surrounding area. The large tracts of farmland are gathered in early spring again. Many farmers are busy in the farmland. The green wheat seedlings that have just been planted are as beautiful as blue waves after the wind blows.

Xia Ya couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart: Damn, this will be Lao Tzu's territory from now on!
