Chapter 108 On the Southbound Road
These thousand-horse cavalry teams, everyone rode majestic horses produced in the north of the mainland, and looking at the armor system on these cavalrymen, it was clearly different from the ordinary garrison army in the locality. More sophisticated equipment, long sabers, short bows hanging from horses, bright armor, lined leather robes, and a snow-white feather inserted into the helmet. Behind each cavalryman wore a gray cloak.
After all, Du Wei was born into the Imperial Wuxun family, and it was obvious at a glance that this cavalry was an elite cavalry brigade in the Storm Legion guarding the north of the empire.
Their equipment was several times better than the patrolling defenders of the Storm Legion that Du Wei had seen, and they were obviously the elite of the elite, and the cavalry on the horse were all tall, with the look of northern men, and many of them were foreigners.
These pursuing cavalry came a chorus of shouts.
"In front is Young Master Du Wei of the Luolin family!"
Du Wei's heart jumped, he thought for a while, and did not answer immediately. And the cavalry of this brigade was already in front of it in a moment. Obviously, these cavalry are well-trained, a thousand horsemen and horses stop on the road, the queue is neat, no one is making a random noise, and the horses under them are also extremely skillful, except for the occasional sound of horses sneezing, there is actually no one in the team of thousands of people who makes a sound, just the sound of neat armor.
"Which one is Young Master Du Wei?"
With this question, the leader of the thousand-horse team, a knight dressed in the service of an imperial military attaché, rode forward a few steps, this man had a bearded face, his armor was pure silver, and the cloak behind him was different from the gray of other cavalrymen, but a bright red cloak, dancing in the cold wind. It looks particularly majestic. On his chest armor hung a shining knight's medal, but he was a full-fledged sixth-level knight of the empire. Such a level, in the emperor ** is definitely a high-ranking officer, this person immediately hung a long sword, the horse walked to Du Wei, although sitting on the horse, but slightly owed, the tone was softer: "Excuse me." Which one is Young Master Du Wei?
Du Wei didn't know whether the cavalry chasing was good intentions or evil, and when he hesitated to answer, a horse ran out of the cavalry queue again, but the person on the horse was not wearing armor, a gray magician robe, a pointed hat, gray hair, and a pair of gray eyes. The mage badge on his chest is a level six magician.
This man walked out, but Du Wei recognized it. Sure enough, this person's gaze swept on Du Wei and the others, and finally fell on Du Wei's body. A smile appeared on his indifferent face, and then he jumped off his horse and smiled: "Ah, Du Wei." Long time no see. The last time I saw you, you were only a little tall!
Du Wei was slightly startled and immediately recognized the magician.
This guy is no one else, it is the famous magician Clark of the imperial capital who was invited by his father, Count Raymond, when Du Wei was young.
It was this Clark mage, after testing Du Wei, who determined that although Du Wei had outstanding magical talent, his sensing power was extremely bad. The conclusion that he could not become a magician was made.
Of course, Du Wei will not forget this strange-looking fellow, but after recognizing him at a glance, he was a little surprised: "You are a Clark mage, right?" I recognize you, it's just..."
"It's good to find you." Clark smiled with satisfaction: "Do you know that since you left home this time, now the entire Continental Magic Union and the Imperial Party are cooperating to find you!"
It turned out to be because of Gandorf's pass to enter the frozen forest. The holder of that pass valid for one hundred years is unknown to others, but according to the information transmitted by the defenders of the checkpoint. After the news was transmitted back to the imperial capital. The Magic Guild knows, the pass-holders. Of course, it was Gandorf himself.
It's just that Gandorf has a transcendent status in the wizarding world, and he took Du Wei, whether it is the Rollin family, the military, or even the magic union, they dare not say anything. However, when the news spread back, everyone at least knew that Gandorf had taken Du Wei into the frozen forest.
Later, on the eve of the Empire's National Day, an ominous broom star appeared in the sky, and the original stone that Gandorf had left in the magic union shattered, and the magic union shook, and sent people everywhere to find the only Du Wei who was with Gandorf. In this way, the news of the last time Gandorf took Du Cheng to enter the frozen forest came with a pass.
Since Gandorf is dead, then Du Wei, as the only person who may be around Gandorf before he died, the magic union is anxious to know the cause of Gandorf's death as a legendary mage, and finding Du Wei has become an important task. And Clark was the only magician in the Magicians' Union who had seen Du Wei himself, and his level was not low, and he was immediately sent to the Northern Frozen Forest.
And the Rollin family has a lot of power in the military, and this time the magic union actually helped find Du Wei, and the Rollin family also asked the Stormwind Legion in the north to help find it through its own influence.
So, as soon as Clark arrived in the north, he immediately contacted the Storm Legion. According to the information provided by the defenders of the Frozen Forest exit checkpoint, it was learned that Du Wei had left the forest all the way south, and the commander of the Storm Legion specially sent his own Guards cavalry team to help catch up in order to sell the ground of the Rollin family.
In this way, he really caught up with Du Wei. Clark was secretly happy in his heart, this time he came with him, there were a total of three level six magicians, and two level four magicians, but among these five, Clark was the leader, because Clark was the only one who had seen Du Wei. And the president of the magic union also said that this matter is very important, and if you can find Du Wei to complete the task, there will be a major reward after returning, and you can even increase your position in the magic union by two levels.
Seeing Du Wei in front of him, how was Clark not happy?
Du Wei saw that the other party was not malicious, and he was not a person in the temple, and it seemed that he had indeed come to find himself. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and Hussein behind him also put down the hand that was secretly pressed on the handle of the knife, and turned slightly sideways.
He was the strength of the paladin, secretly converged his breath, and immediately hid the sharp qi of his body cleanly, without revealing the slightest. Unless it is a strong person whose level is close to him, it is absolutely difficult to see his strength.
Du Wei smiled slightly: "It turned out to be Master Clark, but I didn't expect that the matter of my departure from home actually alarmed the magic union and the imperial party."
Clark was in a good mood at the moment, and his gray eyes seemed to shine a lot, pointing to the senior officer in the red cloak beside him, and said with a smile: "This is General Andrei of the Guards Cavalry Battalion next to General Rostock, the commander of the Storm Legion." Known as the first warrior of the northern country, without his help this time, I am afraid that I will not find you so easily.
Andre,
who had a beard and an extremely powerful appearance, smiled, nodded as he sat on his horse, and said loudly: "Mage Clark is polite!" General Raymond and our legion elders are old friends, and in order to find Young Master Du Wei, the Storm Legion is naturally obliged. Young Master Du Wei. During our march, we are not allowed to dismount without camping, this is the rule of our camp, so please forgive me for not dismounting!
Du Wei smiled and said a few polite words. Then Andre said loudly: "I can find Young Master Du Wei, and I have completed the matter that the legion elder has explained." Your Excellency Master Clark, I will escort you with my men all the way to the city of Kolo, a hundred miles to the south, and then there. Ask the local garrison to send someone to protect you all the way south. Our Storm Legion is ordered to garrison the northern country, and we must not be ordered by the imperial command, and we are not allowed to go south! Therefore, I can only escort you a hundred miles to the south.
Although
before Clark came, the chairman gave him a lot of questions to ask Du Wei, but after all, this is not the occasion to speak, and nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, General Andrei ordered people to give up several good war horses to Du Wei and others. Then a group of cavalry protected Du Wei and the others in the middle, and several magicians brought by Clark went south along the road together.
The Storm Legion Goblin Guards were really fast, and the city of Kolo, a hundred miles away, would soon arrive. General Andrei brought the stormThe commander of the legion led everyone to the local garrison barracks outside Kolo City, and after handing Du Wei and the others over to the local garrison, he said goodbye to everyone and took his men and horses all the way north.
Du Wei is the eldest son of Lord Raymond, the second number one in the Imperial High Command. The local garrison barracks naturally received a high standard of reception. And Clark and the others are also special envoys sent by the Sorcerers' Union. Distinguished status. The local garrison immediately divided three hundred cavalry to protect the people and entered the city of Kolo, at Du Weidi's request. Instead of entering the castle lord's mansion, he chose a good inn and stayed in. It's just that the local garrison ordered to guard the hotel, and no one else was allowed to enter and harass Du Wei and other distinguished guests, which made the owner of the inn smile bitterly in secret.
Clark secretly looked at Du Wei and his group along the way, Du Wei seemed to be much older than in previous years, although he was not yet fourteen years old, but his face was childish, and coupled with many dangers in the frozen forest, and most of the people around him were the top powerhouses in the mainland, such an experience made Du Wei naturally have a calm breath, and in his words and behavior, there was a little more breath that people could not see.
Although he obviously knew the name of this young master's idiot in the imperial capital, Clark was a person who almost became Du Wei's teacher after all, naturally knowing that Du Wei was definitely not an idiot, and after a few years of separation, he felt more and more that this young man was extraordinary.
And the people around Du Wei, Hussein was dressed as an alien warrior, and the level revealed was only the strength of a third- or fourth-level warrior. Silent, but a defiant temperament cannot be hidden. And Medusa's stunning color also surprised Clark. Such a man and a woman followed Du Wei, but it seemed to faintly use Du Wei as the backbone of the team's landlord, which made Clark even more surprised.
And along the way, he casually asked about the origin of Hussein and Medusa, and Du Wei only casually said that he was a strong mercenary friend in the frozen forest. That Hussein is just that, there are many large and small mercenary groups in the north, and Du Wei's words are not surprising. It's Medusa, who has been closing her eyes, her appearance is too beautiful to be amazing, and she seems to be delicate and does not talk much, but she doesn't look like the mercenary who sleeps rough. How could such a delicate beauty enter and exit the dangerous frozen forest if she didn't have the skills?
Clark pressed his stomach of questions, and only after checking into the hotel at night did he restrain his mind, and then prepared to find an opportunity to ask Du Wei properly, especially entrusted by the Chairman, the cause of Mentor Gandorf's death must be understood.
Just as everyone was about to eat dinner after resting, there was a noise outside the hotel.
The inn was already surrounded by the local garrison, and three hundred soldiers were guarding outside, and the castle guard had ordered to let people in and disturb the rest of the distinguished guests. But outside, it was as if someone was trying to break in.
Then I heard a voice shouting with anger: "What a big bold! Even the knights of the temple dared to stop it! There is such a good inn in this small town, do you dare to let the messenger of the temple live outside the deserted night! Even if Lord Castle Shou is here, he doesn't dare! Get out of the way! We have important tasks for the temple! After eating here tonight, you have to travel overnight!
Du Wei couldn't help but be interested when he heard this, and immediately looked out, but saw a bang, a garrison soldier guarding the door was knocked away, and then heard the footsteps trampled by riding boots, several holy knights strode out of the hall of the hotel, the first one looked at the environment here, frowned: "This is the best hotel in the city?" It seems that it is just that, if it is just you and me and others, we have already dedicated ourselves to the gods, even if we sleep rough. It's just that the elders and lords have a noble status, how can they live in such a place.
Another knight said in a low voice: "Well, look at the appearance of the garrison in these places outside, there are probably some important people living here." You and I are both believers in God, do not come nonsense, when will your irascible nature be changed! The elders and adults are all profound divine envoys, how can they care about such a trivial matter, you quickly take someone to clean up a few rooms and come out, and you will live here tonight.
Du Wei and Clark sat here, accompanied by a leading officer of the local garrison. This officer is just a third-class knight, in such a small place, to receive the distinguished guests of the Rollin family, the eldest son of the second leader of the imperial command, and several magicians, what an honor, he was careful to accompany, while already ordered his subordinates to guard outside, at this moment, seeing someone break in, immediately felt that he had lost face greatly, suddenly furious, slapped the table hard, stood up, and shouted: "Who dares to break in!" This place has been requisitioned by the garrison! You dare to ignore the imperial decrees! Trespassing into a military restricted area!
Du Wei had long recognized these holy knights as the group of people he had met on the road. And Du Wei did not have the slightest good impression of the temple, because of Hussein's relationship, but he felt more ill, seeing that there was going to be a conflict, instead of speaking, he had a bit of the idea of gloating, and glanced at the Clark mage beside him, but found that Clark also sneered.
Well?
Du Wei's heart moved, as if the mages of these magic unions did not have a good relationship with the temple...
