The two masters and servants, Xiaya and Dodoro, one was in the valley and the other was outside the valley. They both fell asleep for a long time. It was not until the next morning when the sky was bright, that Xiaya in the valley suddenly shuddered and opened his eyes.
He was injured, hurt and exhausted. He actually fell asleep in front of the old drunkard's grave all night. When he woke up, he only felt that his whole body was paralyzed. Some.
In fact, although Xia Ya's body no longer has the effect of strengthening the dragon's blood, he gradually discovered a strange thing - his body, in terms of physical and vigor recovery, has been greatly improved than before, even after receiving Some minor wounds healed almost twice as fast as before.
Such a change can be regarded as a small consolation.
Getting up from the tombstone, Xia Ya sighed: "I didn't expect to sleep here all night." Looking at the old guy's tombstone, he smiled faintly: "Hey, old guy, I've been with you for another night. Alas, this will be the case in the future. I'm afraid there aren't many opportunities. I'll see you again when I have a chance."
After finishing speaking, Xia Ya packed up his clothes, turned and walked out of the valley.
She slept all night, although she was sleeping in the wild, but Xiaya's spirit was much stronger, her injuries were slightly improved, and although she still had some pain when walking, it was much easier than yesterday.
He walked out of the valley and looked around: "Damn, that coward of Dodo Luo is probably running away. It's strange to see Lao Tzu not whip him when he returns."
He was looking around when he suddenly heard the sound of snoring coming from the bushes on the left. Xiaya moved in his heart, followed the sound and walked over, and saw Duoduo lying on his back under the bushes, his body just forming a "big" He was sleeping with his mouth wide open, snoring loudly, and a snot bubble popped out of his nose.
How sweet and sweet this fellow sleeps!
Xia Ya couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart. She stepped forward and gently kicked Dodo Luo's leg, but this guy just mumbled a few words, then turned over and continued to fall asleep.
Dodoro had already slept in the dark, and only felt that he had had countless strange dreams.
The self in the door seemed to be standing in the clouds, and in the surrounding air, countless bright golden handwritings shone around him, but they were all written in the magician's special "Magik" language. !
Most of these questions are about the profound meaning of magic, some are some insights into magic comprehension, some are some narrations about magic research, and what makes Dodoro more excited is that there are many magic spells in it!
A magic spell! Magic spells are treasures in the bottom of the box for any magician, and they will not be taught to anyone easily!
Just because every magician needs a lifetime to study magic spells, the magic spells mastered by every magician are slightly different, even if it is a difference of one note and one byte, it will cost a lot of money. Countless energy to study!
Every magic spell is a secret for magicians! It is also the greatest wealth of the magician!
As a low-level magician who graduated from the magic academy, poor Dodo Luo only mastered two or three of the lowest-level spells taught in the magic academy, but no one taught him the slightly more advanced spells. They will teach these things, and it is impossible for any magician to be willing to share the magic spells he has researched with others easily.
Although he had followed Merlin for a while, Merlin also saw that his talent was low, and he really had no interest in teaching him any spells. He just used him as a little servant doing errands.
But in this weird dream, many of the high-level magic spells around made Dotara cry with joy! Years of dream of the desire to appear in front of their own!
What intermediate-level spells, high-level spells, and even one or two seemingly unfathomable-is it the legendary forbidden spell? !
Wow wow wow wow... What a beautiful dream!
Although it is a dream, I hope this dream will never wake up! ! !
…
It's a pity, just when Dodoro was crying in his dream, there was a clatter...
He only felt a sudden coldness on his face, and his whole body shivered suddenly. The golden handwriting around him suddenly disappeared, and Duoduo shouted loudly, and finally woke up from the dream.
"Wow!!!!"
Dotolo actually sat up as soon as he stood up, his eyes widened, and he panted and looked in front of him.
Xiaya was standing in front of him, holding a leather bag in his hand, and was sprinkling water on Dodoro's face.
Duoduo was immersed in the sea of magic, and was suddenly awakened, and endless anger suddenly surged in his heart, but when he looked up and saw Xia's half-smile, the anger dissipated immediately.
The magician immediately changed into a look of weeping and weeping. With a loud "wow", he rushed over, hugged Xia Ya's thighs with both hands, and shouted loudly with a mourning voice: "I Lord! Lord!! You are not dead!! I am waiting outside this valley, and I am not worried about your safety for a moment! Praise the gods, praise the great gods, bless you for your safe return! My lord, you are blessed Great noble, blessed by the gods, every misfortune turns into auspiciousness;
"What a mess." Xia shook his leg and kicked away the guy who was crying while hugging his thigh: "Get up, are you really worried about me? I think you slept sweetly."
"Who said it! Who said it!!" Dotolo immediately made a look of being greatly wronged and insulted: "Who am I Dodo! Loyalty is my motto! Courage is my epitaph! My honorable master is fighting against a strong enemy in the valley, how can I fall asleep as the incarnation of loyalty! I am obviously here to close my eyes and meditate and pray, praying that the gods will bless my master you... "
"Hehe... Is it meditation and prayer?" Xiaya couldn't help but sighed because of this guy's thick skin.
Dotolo smiled embarrassingly, but fortunately, Xia Ya won't really bother with him about this issue. Anyway, Xia Ya has long been clear about the virtues of his "loyal and brave" servant.
Duoduo has quickly wiped away a handful of tears, and made a look of joy: "Respected master, this time you have won the victory and defeated the wicked and murderous God Emperor Odin. We can just win and return..."
"Frustrating him..." Xiaya rolled his eyelids directly, really wanting to kick the thing in front of him to death. Even a cheeky person like Tu Turtle couldn't help but get hot on his face. Thinking of how he was beaten and vomited blood by Hannigan, and finally raised as a piggy by others, I couldn't help but feel short of breath. But this kind of shameful thing, Xi Ya naturally won't mention it to Dotolo.
On the other hand, Todoro, remembering the way God Emperor Odin walked out yesterday and left unrestrainedly, it really doesn't look like he was defeated by Xia Ya. Seeing his old man, his clothes are tattered and there are bloodstains on the corners of his mouth, it is clear that he was beaten. very miserable. But what about this, the smart and wise Lord Todoro will naturally not mention it in front of Xia Ya, so as not to find it unpleasant.
"Then, go home!" Xiaya waved.
Dodoro immediately took out the flying carpet from his sleeve and used magic to release the flying carpet summon.
But at this time, something strange happened!
After Dotolo finished reciting a spell, he felt that his whole body was suddenly full of magic power, and his whole body was shivering as if an electric current had passed through it. I heard a "hula", a magic light flashed in front of my eyes, and I saw the flying carpet being summoned to open.
But both of them were stunned!
Originally, this flying carpet was only about two meters in length. Given the physiques of Xia Ya and Dodoro, it was just right for the two of them to sit on it. But now Dotolo had just finished reciting the summoning spell when he saw this flying carpet that appeared after the magic light in front of him...
Heck! Is this still a flying "blanket"? !
The flying carpet floating above the two of them is seven or eight meters wide and more than ten meters long! A dazzling magic light shines all over the body!
Duoduo Luo was also stunned. He opened his mouth and murmured: "This, this... Hell, can this flying carpet still evolve automatically?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xiaya tentatively said, "This, is this what you did?"
Duoduo was confused and shook his head subconsciously: "But... this is clearly our flying carpet! Ah, look at the top, and when I went out last time, I sat on it and ate chicken legs accidentally contaminated with oil... "
Xia blinked his eyelids a few times: "This thing has become so big... Can it still fly?"
Dodoro swallowed, and cautiously began to chant the spell.
After a series of "Supreme, Great Merlin" spells, something even more magical happened!
I saw that the light of the flying carpet suddenly doubled directly, and then before the two could react, they heard the whistling wind passing by, and the flying carpet had suddenly agitated itself and flew out! Disappeared at the end of the sky in an instant...
Two people: "… "
After a while, Xia Ya first came back to his senses.
"I... Damn! You should wait for us to sit up and recite the curse!" Tu Turtle cursed angrily.
Duoduo closed his mouth, his eyes were surprised at first, then panic, and finally suddenly burst out with abnormal light!
Duoduo looked up at the sky, and the flying carpet didn't know where it flew, where is there a shadow
"Uh..." The magician swallowed, "My dear sir, I think something may have happened."
"Nonsense! Of course there is something! You lost Merlin's flying carpet, and she will definitely turn you into a frog when you go back." Xia sighed.
The amazing thing is that even when he heard that he was turned into a frog, the magician's face didn't show the same fearful expression as before, but his expression was a little dull, looking at Xiaya: "No... Sir, I mean, yes Something happened, maybe... maybe it has something to do with it."
"Um?"
The expression on Dodoro's face didn't know whether he was crying or laughing: "It's like this, last night..."
…
After a while, Dodoro stammered and recounted what happened last night when he encountered God Emperor Odin who walked out of the valley.
Of course, Dodoro naturally wouldn't say that he was afraid and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Standing up, he scolded the other party with righteous and awe-inspiring words, and with a sound of righteousness, made the strong enemy feel guilty and retreat.
"When I yelled at him and killed one of my Dodo Luos, there are thousands of Dodo Luos in this world who will rise up one after another to resist your brutality! Even if you can cut off my head, you can't cut off my Hao Ran. Righteousness!" Duo Duo Luo said, spit flying, and then deliberately sighed, making a conceited look: "Then God Emperor Odin was frightened by my words, and he was shocked and said: I didn't expect that there is such a lord in the world. My hero, I knew that there was you in the world, why should I set foot on the mountain. After saying this, he hugged his head ashamed and left, and before he left, he gave me something. Of course, what a noble character I am, Lord Dodolo. , how could he accept the gift of such a cruel person, but when he saw that I would not accept it, he refused to accept it, and begged me to accept it, and said that this thing was really a pearl in his hands, and only handed it over Only by giving me such a hero in the world can I get what I want, but in the end I couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so I had to accept it..."
When Xia Ya heard this, the muscles in the corners of her eyes twitched, she endured and endured, she couldn't bear it anymore, and finally kicked Dodo Luo with a heartfelt foot, kicking the brazen guy directly, and then scolded: "Direct Seriously! What did he give you?"
"That's it." Dodoro took out the magic badge and smiled triumphantly: "This is a magic badge belonging to the Great Magister!"
Having said that, I briefly introduced the beauty of this mithril badge.
After listening to Xia Ya, looking at Dodo Luo, he was a little bit incredulous: "You mean... This badge may store the memory of the magic knowledge of a powerful magician? There is even a lot of magic power?"
Dodoro nodded: "Having this badge is a symbol of identity! Dear master, from today onwards, please call me 'Great Magister Dodoro'!!"
Xiaya took a deep breath, kicked up again, and kicked the "Great Magister Todoro" into the grass again.
"Let's go back and talk about this matter. It seems that the only way to find out what's weird is to find Merlin." Xia sighed: "Now that the flying carpet is gone, we have to think of another way to get back to Denzel City."
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart.
This Todoro is really lucky. If the magic in this badge is true... Then this guy was really hit by a pie from the sky!
Damn, the gods are really blind!
No, it should be said that my cheap old man is blind...
However, Dotolo got up again from the grass - anyway, he stayed by Char's side all the time, and he was used to being beaten by the turtles, and it was just commonplace to get kicked a few times. Anyway, Xia Ya's shot was very measured, and he just taught this too shameless guy a lesson, and naturally he wouldn't really kick and hurt him.
"Then, sir, this badge..." When Dodoro said this, his eyes rolled around, and his tone was a little uneasy.
"Hmph, are you still afraid that I will rob you of your good things? How could I, Xia Ya, do such a thing and rob my servant's things?!" Xia Ya glared at Dodolo.
"Of course, sir, you have a noble character, and you definitely won't do such a lowly thing!" Duoduo replied immediately and decisively, but he thought to himself: I don't know who even stole Lao Tzu's clothes...
Of course, this kind of slander can only stay in my heart, our brave "Great Magister Todoro-sama" is categorically afraid to say it.
※※※
The master and servant left the mountain and came out all the way to Wildfire Town. They first went to the one-eyed tavern to have a look, but found that Aunt Sofia's family had long since disappeared, and the tavern was closed.
Xia had no choice but to buy two horses with Dodo at the market and rode to Denzel City.
Along the way, Dodoro seemed to be excited like a child. His whole body was full of magic power, and his mind was much more innocent. He didn't know how many magic spells, and he was squandering like a nouveau riche.
Sitting on the back of a horse, he kept reciting various incantations, and he saw Todoro riding all the way, and all kinds of colorful magical rays of light were constantly shining on his body, and there were many changes around him. A gust of wind shot out a bunch of fireballs for a while, burning the big trees on the roadside into black coal, and then a petrification technique was created, which instantly turned a hare running by the roadside into a stone sculpture.
The magician was having a lot of fun, and finally, after accidentally throwing a "maddening technique", the warhorse under the crotch that was hit by the maddening technique suddenly went mad. The magician threw it directly from the horse's back, smashed to the ground, and fell half dead, which finally extinguished the magician's excitement a little.
"Damn, when this magus is fully developed, he will surrender a dragon to be a mount!" The poor magician stood on the ground and rubbed his sore buttocks, swearing and swearing fiercely.
Xia Ya couldn't bear it anymore, he kicked the guy directly, then took out the rope to tie it up, blocked his mouth, and threw it on the horse behind him and moved on.
So, the world finally quieted down.
※※※
When the two returned to the Denzel City Defense Mansion, Adeline and Merlin, who stayed at home, were relieved when they saw Xi Ya coming back. On the contrary, Aslan looked at Xia Ya's bruised nose and swollen face, and seemed to gloat over misfortune, but Xia Ya naturally wouldn't pay attention to the old bastard.
He found the badge directly from Dodoro and handed it to Merlin. He told Dodoro's experience again, and gave the "Great Magister" bundled like a mummy to Merlin. .
"Oh? The magic power of the magician? Is this shameless boy possessed?" Merlin's eyes lit up immediately: "Normally, a magician's badge must have left his unique magic mark, and only the person can use it. However, this badge fell into Hannigan's hands. With Hannigan's strength, he must have forcibly erased the magic seal on it, and as a result, Dodora took advantage of it. However, this is a wonderful Question! If you directly pour magic power into a waste, can you become a magic master early? It is worth a try!"
Merlin seemed to have found an interesting toy as well, and with Dodoro in one hand, he quickly ran into his yard. As for whether she caught Dodo Luo, whether she only steamed or fried it, or used many strange magic experiments to add to the poor "Great Magister", it has nothing to do with our Uncle Char.
However, before Merlin entered the yard, he confessed: "Since you have met Adeline's father, then your wedding can be held on another day. It is not a problem to delay it day by day. The dwarves have also stayed here for too many days. They are here to watch the ceremony. You get married early, and send all these guests back as soon as possible. And those elves come to me every day to ask for magic, where do I have so many Time to point out the trash!"
Calling the elves who were born with strong magical talents as "trash", I am afraid that only this woman can say it.
Xia Ya smiled, hugged Adeline in her arms, and waved her hand: "Marriage! Marriage!! Order, choose a day for the wedding! I want to get married!!!"
Saying that, the turtle, who had been burning with fire in the early days, was about to burrow into his yard with the poor worm, but the poor worm struggled hard to get out of Xia Ya's arms, a beautiful little face flushed red, and said anxiously: " You...you...you can't touch me since you're getting married, and according to tradition, we can't meet again one month before the wedding...otherwise, it will bring bad luck."
Xia Ya listened and said nonchalantly, "I've already had countless troubles, and it doesn't matter if there is more or less bad luck. My darling is pitiful, and let my brother take care of you... "
Adeline's face flushed red, but she shrank to avoid the claws of the turtle, and pleaded: "Xia Ya... I will be your wife after all, you, you just follow me this time? I want to be fine. I want to be with you and be fine forever... I don't want any bad luck, please, okay?"
No matter how shameless Xia Ya is, she still can't do such incompetent things as being hard on her female overlord. Besides, he loved the poor worm so much in his heart that he could only nod helplessly when he saw the poor worm blushing and pleading with him.
Therefore, our great native turtle, before getting married, will continue to endure a bachelor's career for a while.
※※※
The wedding of General Xia Yaleiming immediately became the top priority of the newly established "Northern Garrison Area"!
The news of the wedding spread out, and everyone began to prepare nervously.
In Xiaya's mind, it's just a wedding, find a group of people to eat, drink and have a good time, and then hold a ceremony and it's over, but I didn't expect that a group of people are firmly opposed to it!
How could the wedding of the dignified upstart in the empire, the powerful Northern garrison general, the duke of the empire, and Lord Xia Lei Ming be so hasty
This matter is not only a wedding, but also has important political significance!
It has to be done in a big way!
Up and down were busy quickly.
Green rushed back to Denzel City from the new city, and the rest of the generals, who could be rushed back, rushed to Denzel City after getting the news. The army left it to the generals and returned with more than ten carts of gifts.
The wedding was soon set on a day chosen by thousands of people a month later, and the news of Xi Ya's wedding was quickly spread through various channels.
Even the governor's wife of the Besta Military Region got the news and sent a mission to Denzel City with a generous gift.
Xia Ya, the groom's official, suddenly became more relaxed.
Naturally, a bunch of subordinates were busy with the wedding preparations, and Cato, the logistics chief of the garrison, was elected as the chairman of the wedding preparation committee by everyone.
What even surprised Xia was that a few days after the news of the wedding spread, there was actually a team of Odinian reindeer cavalry, thirty cavalry reindeer cavalrymen, carrying a white flag and a large cart of gifts, from Noz. From the county, to Denzel City.
On the way, he was intercepted by the cavalry scout team under Xia Ya's command.
This bizarre move made Xiaya's group very puzzled.
Hastings is General Odin, and he has just destroyed a regiment of Odin. It stands to reason that everyone is an enemy rather than a friend. Although Hastings occupied Nods County, it has been entrenched there and has no intention of expanding. Everyone has been at peace with each other, but the relationship is not good enough to come to send a congratulatory gift to Xiaya, right
Moreover, the general of the enemy country came to send congratulatory gifts. If the news spread to the imperial capital and let the emperor know, I am afraid that it will cause suspicion of Xia Ya again.
Green immediately ordered the cavalry along the way to strictly protect the "mission", and no one was allowed to approach along the way. They were "escorted" to the military camp outside Denzel City, and they were not allowed to enter the city for anyone to see.
The team of Odin reindeer cavalry sent by Hastings is his own personal guard in his Black Flag Army. The leader is actually Hasting's personal guard captain, an Odin man who looks sturdy and burly .
The mission was escorted to the barracks outside Denzel City. At night, the captain of Hastings' personal guard entered the city under the strict protection of a group of guards from the garrison and came to the garrison to meet Char. And sent a letter written by Hastings himself.
The letter is simple and clear.
The letter was sealed with lacquer, and apparently no one had opened it along the way. And with Hasting's prestige among these Odin soldiers, no one dared to disobey his orders. The letter was delivered to Xia Ya's hands intact.
There is only one sentence in the letter.
"My intention is to stay in peace with the East. I will temporarily borrow the territory and return it in March."
Xia Ya looked at the secret letter and pondered for a long time before sighing.
Turtle was moved.
After all, they are brothers and sisters from the same school, and they really help at critical moments!
Hastings occupied Nods County, just to the east of Char's sphere of influence. Hasting's letter was very clear: he did not intend to attack Char in the west, but was planning to expand to the east. . And obviously, Hastings also learned that Char has been awarded the title of "Duke of Notts County", and the Notts County he occupied has become Char's noble fief. Hastings also readily stated that even if he borrowed it temporarily, Knowles County would be able to return it in three months.
However, there is a deep meaning hidden in this letter, and after Xia Ya thought for a moment and suddenly understood, he couldn't help but take a deep breath! !
He immediately opened a map of the Byzantine Empire to check it out.
East of Knotts? What does Hasting's eastward expansion mean
The map shows that to the east of Noz County is the vast territory of the eastern Byzantine Empire, most of which have been occupied by the warlords of the Tema Military Region.
But Xia Ya's eyes were fixed on a location on the map!
The eastern land of the Byzantine Empire, about a few hundred miles away from Noz County, is a big river in the eastern part of the empire! Govar River!
This is a long river that runs through the north and south of the Byzantine Empire. It has always been the main artery of the empire running through the north and south, and it is an important channel for the north-south transfer of materials in the Byzantine Empire!
And if Hasting goes east and hits the North-South Grand Canal, if his Black Flag Army snatch the river pier, collect warships, and then go down south...
Xia's fingers moved all the way to the south of the river on the map!
At the southern end of this Grand Canal is an inland river dock city called "Terry", owned by a small warlord in a small military district.
The problem is, the location of this place!
The center of the empire, Osgilia, is less than three hundred miles away! !
If Hasting's army descended downstream, landed here, occupied the dock and was renovated, and with the marching speed of the Black Flag Army, it would be able to appear under the city of Osgilia in a few days at most! ! !
This Hastings! His goal is not to go east!
Rather... Osgilia! ! !
At this moment, Xiaya suddenly remembered what Hastings once said!
"I am a countryless person."
Xia Ya still clearly remembers that when Hasting said this sentence, his expression was desolate, and the resentment implicit in his tone could not be extinguished even by pouring water!
"Downstream... Rush to Osgilia! This crazy guy!! Crazy!!"
Xia Ya muttered to herself.
But he had to admit that this plan was very likely to succeed!
Although going south along the Grand Canal, along the way are the sites of various military regions, but... those military region warlords are all in the mind of self-preservation, who would dare to intercept Hastings along the way? Intercept the dignified "Odin Valkyrie" Hastings and his "Black Flag Army" across the world? !
Thinking back to when thousands of cavalrymen of mine went south to King Qin, the warlords along the way were all behind closed doors and refused to fight with him at all, allowing him to cross the border!
Then change to Hastings... I'm afraid those guys are even more afraid to stop! Who would go to hell with Hastings? !
I'm afraid Hasting's Black Flag Army will be unimpeded all the way south along the Grand Canal!
Even... Maybe those warlords will donate food and supplies along the way, and send this killing god to the border!
This is a strategically stupid move!
Because for Hasting, even if he succeeded in attacking Osgilia, he went deep into the Byzantine Empire with his alone army, and there was no room for development at all!
But Xiaya knew better that Hastings didn't care at all!
He doesn't care about the overall situation or strategy at all!
He is going to attack Osgilia!
His goal is to kill the Byzantine royal family, the Kerenma family! !
