Chapter 20 [Warcraft Incident in Half-Corner City I]

Chapter 20: Warcraft Incident in Half-Corner City I

Solskjaer's laboratory is in the south. Because his own research direction is biased towards fire magic.

In the south, where the climate is hot, it is obvious that the fire element contained in nature is richer. Otherwise, running to the icy north to study fire magic is not impossible, but it will be a bit of a smoke.

Du Wei made a decision and acted quickly.

Solskjaer was immediately released from the dungeon, and his magician's robe, as well as his equipment, bottles of powder, magic crystals, and parchment for magic spells were returned to him.

Of course, the magician's robe is newly made.

For this young young master, who could actually recruit a magician as a subordinate, the old housekeeper of the castle was very surprised at first. However, when he learned that Solskjaer was just a first-class magician, the old butler was relieved... I see.

Du Wei proposed to travel far, such a request, the old housekeeper could not refuse, and he also said in the morning, suggesting that Du Wei can go to some of the family's properties in the territory to take a look, and make a round, it is much more intuitive than staying in the castle to read the boring ledger.

Soon, the carriage, horses, luggage, everything was ready. It is different from the shabby pomp when going south from the imperial capital. This time the old housekeeper arranged much better. After all, if it is within the territory of the Luolin family, the eldest young master of the family is too shabby, but it is a bit humiliating.

He is still Mad as Duwei's accompanying butler, but this time Mader has ten more servants in the castle. Responsible for taking care of the young master all the way.

In the castle guards, two cavalry squads were separated to protect Du Wei. Moreover, the deputy captain of the castle guard, a regular knight with good martial skills, will also accompany him to personally lead the team. This vice-captain named Robert is a regular knight! It is a character certified by the Knights Association with a genuine fourth-level knight badge!

The two cavalry squads accompanying him, one group was Robert's direct subordinate team, and the other team, Du Wei ordered the group of people who had gone all the way to the south from the imperial capital.

This fourth-level knight named Robert looks tall and powerful, with broad shoulders, a majestic body, and a square face, and he looks like a straight guy. For Du Wei, the little master, this knight has considerable respect in attitude and seems to be a simple martial artist. Du Wei had a good impression of him.

In addition to these people, among the accompanying people, there was also a female knight, who was naturally the first direct subordinate under his command recruited by Du Wei, Ruolin.

From the castle all the way south, on the way, Robert very dutifully completed his duties, he carefully arranged the front station, and the guard work when staying. Occasionally, when Du Wei was in a sudden mood, he proposed to camp outside at night, and Robert did not give any opinions, but nodded in agreement without saying a word. After going down, he will also carefully arrange the night vigil and guarding people.

A very typical military man.

This is Du Wei's assessment of Robert. Apparently, this guy must have spent time in the army. As a retainer of the Luolin family, many knights in the family have resumes in the army.

Compared to the old butler who made Du Wei a little annoyed, this loyal and dutiful knight was undoubtedly much more pleasing to the eye.

Seven days.

While walking and watching, it took seven days for Du Wei and his party to reach a town in the southernmost part of the Cott Province. Further south, it is necessary to go out of the confines of the Cott Province, that is, to leave the territory of the Rollin family.

In general, Du Wei was very satisfied with the situation in the territory of the Rollin family. In this geographically advantageous Rollin plain, he saw large farmlands, rich farms, leisurely farmers, and even if he occasionally passed by one or two slightly larger towns, he could see that the people here were living well.

When their convoys walk on the road, they often pass by one or two farms, and there are some farmers standing on the side of the road, and whenever they see these knights with the flag of the Rollin family, the farmers will wave their hats in salute.

It seems that here, the Luolin family is still very popular.

Robert also saw that this little master did not come out to inspect any family property at all. He simply took people out for sightseeing.

It's not surprising, though. Considering the age of this little master, Robert also thinks that a thirteen-year-old boy can really manage any family business? And these are not his concerns, he just needs to fulfill his duties and act as a good protector.

When everyone walked to the town on the southern edge of Luo Lin's family territory on this day, Du Wei suddenly proposed to continue going south. Although Robert felt a little strange about this request, he did not object.

Anyway, it is also a trip, since the little master is interested, then follow him to continue to the south.

Moreover, further south out of the Cotte Province, is the Lille Province of the Empire, and the Lord Governor of the Lille Province is very friendly and respectful to the Rollin family, and the young master of the Rollin family will definitely get some care when he comes to the Lille Province, there is nothing to worry about.

Du Wei soon fell in love with the obedient knight. He also saw that this Robert knight was also very popular among these cavalrymen. Often when camping, some young cavalrymen would ask him for martial arts.

Robert's martial arts skills are quite excellent - in Du Wei's eyes. This knight can wield a huge broadsword with amazing arm strength! When instructing the young soldiers, seven or eight people could not get close to him.

Even that Ruolin's subordinate, that brute warrior, was quite submissive to Robert. Because in a battle, Robert chopped the brute warrior down with only one hand holding a sword.

Fourth-level knight, the force is indeed good.

Under such circumstances, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart, and proposed to ask Robert for some martial arts. Robert was a little surprised by the little master's request. Because, according to the management of the family, if the son of the patriarch of a family like Du Wei wants to learn martial arts, then he must find those knights with the highest martial skills in the family as a teacher, and he can't take his turn as a little cavalry captain.

Robert readily agreed, anyway, he was cultivating the Fighting Qi cultivation method taught in the Emperor ** team. Nor is it a great secret. However, just like the evaluation made by the elder guards beside Count Raymond, after a short teaching, Robert also had to tell Du Wei: he really did not have the talent to cultivate martial arts.

Du Wei's current body has had a lot of body since he was a child, and he has had a serious illness and is born insufficient.

Du Wei was not frustrated, he didn't expect to be a master, but he felt that he needed to exercise a little. Even if you can't become a master, it's good to be able to train your body to be strong and healthy!

In this way, under Robert's teaching, Du Wei began to learn some of the most basic martial arts, mainly some methods of exercising his body. And this situation also caused the group to go south a little slower.

On the ninth day of going south, the group came to a small city in the northeast of Lille Province in the southern part of the empire... Half-Corner City.

It is a strange name because the city sits next to a valley shaped as a semigon.

This small city is located on an important caravan route in the northeast of the department of Lille, so it is quite prosperous. Even in this small town, Du Wei and others actually saw a team of about twenty peopleModel mercenaries! These mercenaries were escorting a caravan north. It happened to be staying in the same hotel as Du Wei and others.

The province of Lille was not a noble domain, but a province directly under the empire. There were no high-ranking officials in such a small town, and Du Wei did not want to deal with those local officials, and he lived more freely in hotels. So the arrival of their group did not alarm the local officials.

At lunchtime, Du Wei and the others were in the lobby of the hotel, and the other caravan was also on the other side of the hall. Suddenly there was a rush of horses' hooves outside the hotel, and after a commotion, the gate was pushed open, and three knights dressed in local garrison armor walked in.

The leader had a knight's medal on his chest, representing that he was also a fourth-class knight, and the suit of armor and military insignia on his body was clearly a high-ranking officer of the local garrison.

The man strode in, surrounded by several subordinates, first came to the side of the caravan, and announced loudly: "Everyone! I am Spanknight, captain of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Half-Corner City Local Garrison! Now, in accordance with the Empire's 'Local Armed Forces Law', I officially requisitioned your escort on behalf of the Half-Horn City Local Garrison!" Because we don't have enough troops at our disposal now, we need your escort to assist us on a mission in the valley half outside the city. According to imperial law, you are not allowed to refuse.

He spoke in a very loud voice and a resolute attitude, and then glanced at the guards of those caravans: "I know that you are all mercenaries, I will now recruit you to join my queue to carry out the mission, and the emperor will pay you afterwards." You now have half an hour to sort out your gear and horses! Half an hour later, I needed everyone to assemble at the door of the hotel.

Although the mercenaries who served as caravan guards were a little reluctant, the laws of

the empire were like mountains, and they could not refuse this kind of thing, and they were paid anyway.

But the caravan, seeing that the guard they had hired with money was requisitioned away, couldn't help but be a little anxious, and immediately a man with a raised eyebrow came over, trying to make this officer accommodating...

"Nope!" The knight refused simply: "I'm sorry your trip will be delayed, but I promise it won't be too long." By this time tomorrow at the latest, your escorts will return. You can choose to stay in the city for an extra day, and the military will cover the cost of your accommodation at this inn for the extra day! Please don't say any more, this is the task of the military, I can't accommodate it, please also take back your gold coins, buying officers is a felony!

After

that, the knight left the caravan leader and walked towards Du Wei's group instead.

He originally announced the words of recruiting Du Wei's entourage, but after walking two steps, he suddenly saw the clothes of several entourage around Du Wei, as well as the dress of Du Wei himself... More importantly, he saw Robert and the others behind Du Wei!

The armor worn by Robert is obviously not imperial ** square style. Rather, it is like the equipment of that kind of aristocratic private army.

Conscripting the private army of other nobles, this kind of power is not something that his small local garrison cavalry captain can have!

Spanknight glanced at Du Wei a few times, he hesitated, but at the moment he really didn't have any manpower in his hands, and that task was really anxious, and he couldn't delay, and finally gritted his teeth and strode towards Du Wei. He first bent down and saluted according to his status as a knight, and then said in a deep voice: "Respected sir, I..."

Speaking of this, Span's voice suddenly choked. Because he didn't pay attention just now, but now he sees it clearly!

A few guards behind Du Wei, pinned to the light armor on their chests, were the badges of the Luolin family!

Originally, he also wanted to use some means to borrow the other party's guards, but the famous people of the imperial martial arts family are not what he said he can borrow!

Damn it! People from the Rollin family? How did the people of the Luolin family come to Half-Corner City? How come there is no news at all...

Spann sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Go on, Mr. Knight." Du Wei smiled and raised his glass and took a sip, this kind of light ale, the feeling in the mouth is still good, a bit like the taste of the rice wine drunk in the previous life.

"This... Dear Sir. With all due respect, are you from the great Rollin family? Span's voice became more respectful, and he even unconsciously owed a little.

"Good. We are from the Rollin Plains. This time it was Robert who spoke, he stepped forward, his majestic body half a head taller than this Spann knight: "This is my master, the eldest son of the Count of Raymond of the Rollin family, Young Master Duwei. Spann

immediately re-saluted, the son of the patriarch of the Rollin family, such an identity, even in the face of the Lord Governor, is equal ah.

"Mr. Knight, are you in any trouble?" Du Wei asked with a smile.

"Yes..." Spann weighed in his heart for a moment, but still said truthfully: "I have just received an urgent mission that requires about a hundred soldiers. But recently, it was the time of the spring exercise, and most of the garrison soldiers in the half-corner city were pulled two hundred miles to the south to conduct the spring exercise. At the moment I have fewer than twenty people left. Therefore, according to the local armed forces decree of the empire, I can only temporarily recruit warriors in the city to temporarily serve the military.

Du Wei nodded: "Oh, then, are you also planning to recruit my guards?"

"No, no, don't dare!" Spann was taken aback. He originally meant this, but after seeing the identity of the other party, where would he dare to do this?

Who is Count Raymond? It's the number two person in the emperor ** side! Enlist his son's guards? In case this little young master suffers any accident due to the lack of protection from guards around him, even if he cuts his head a hundred times, he will not be able to offset this sin.

"So, what's going on?" Du Wei was a little curious: "After all, we are here now, if something happens here, please tell me, let's also prepare." Spanknight

thought about it and said it, his expression was a little helpless and a little distressed: "This matter is also strange to say, the half-corner mountain outside the half-corner city has always been calm, this mountain is not high, the forest is not deep, there were not even larger beasts in the past, even if there is, usually our local garrison goes up the mountain to hunt, and it has been shot up!" But just yesterday, I suddenly ran out of nowhere... Warcraft!

Du Wei's eyes lit up!

Warcraft?

"Yes, although it is not yet certain what kind of monster it is, it is certain that it is a big fellow, because the hunters in the mountains saw the footprints of that monster with their own eyes. That's for sure. It's just puzzling that Warcraft generally don't live close to human-inhabited cities, and even if they do, they should be in the barren forest on the southern border of the empire. Moreover, the entire Lille Province has not heard of any Warcraft infested for decades. I don't know where this thing came from. Spann smiled bitterly: "My men and I were ordered to go to the mountains to hunt this guy, but according to my estimates, such a big fellow, if you want to kill it, I am afraid that there must be at least twenty soldiers." And the half-horned mountain is so big, if you round it up in the mountain, without a hundred people, I am afraid it will not be enough. "

Warcraft... It seems to be interesting.

Du Wei couldn't help but be moved.

In fact, since looking forAfter reaching the glimmer of hope of learning magic, he has recently developed a strong interest in almost everything related to magic!

In the area of the southern hinterland of this empire, a rare monster actually appeared! This kind of thing, how can you not go to the fun?

"Very good! I brought forty guards, each of whom was the elite cavalry of the Rollin family, and this captain of mine was a fourth-level knight. I am willing to let them accompany you to the Half-Corner Mountain on this mission. After all, sitting and watching a monster wreak havoc is not in line with my morality. Du Wei said these two words with great righteousness.

Spann was stunned for a moment: "You mean... You are willing to lend me all your guards..."

"Master, this is not okay." For the first time, Robert objected: "You can't be left unprotected. If I have to go, I'll take twenty people with me.

Robert was willing to help, after all, he was also a regular knight and believed in chivalry.

"No, no, don't worry that there are no guards around me." Du Wei smiled: "Because I will go with you." I think it's safest to stay with you, isn't it?

Now both Robert and Spann were going to object.

Especially Span! He began to regret why he told this young master of the Luolin family about this!

Take him with you? Whether you can catch Warcraft or not is a trifle! But if after going up the mountain, this young master encountered a little accident! Then I am really going to be unlucky!

"You don't have to object." Du Wei made a decision very crisply: "Don't worry about my safety, don't forget, I still have a powerful magician by my side!"

He pushed Solskjaer out.

Solskjaer was a little helpless. However, although he is not a strong man, the identity of the magician is real.

Span's eyes lit up!

Enchanter? If you can have the assistance of a powerful magician, then this mission should be no problem!

It's just that... The safety of this young master...
