Magic Apprentice

When Enleco visited Trode, most people were surprised. For several days, Enleco has been depressed and listless all day long. Why is he so energetic now?Moreover, the imperial envoy actually asked to pay a visit to the evil mage Trod. You must know that there are not many people in the entire Kaoqi Kingdom who are willing to get along with this evil mage. That ugly face is extremely terrifying.

And why this imperial envoy was interested in visiting that evil mage, everyone was baffled.

Trod has a habit similar to that of Enleco, that is, he spends most of his time on magic research. He rarely leaves the laboratory, and most of his meals and receptions are in his own laboratory, so Enleco If you want to visit Trod, you can only go to his laboratory, and Trod will never come out.

Entering the laboratory, Enleco only had a feeling of eerieness. Although this was not the first time he had entered the laboratory, Enleco still felt extremely uncomfortable.

On the walls around the laboratory, there are skulls hanging everywhere, and on the low tables on both sides are dozens of large and small earthen pots and pots, which are soaked in a special thick liquid. There is a row of iron cages erected against the corner of the wall, and some strange and terrifying creatures are kept in the cages.

There is a long table in the middle of the room. Apart from some thick magic books, there are dozens of medicine bottles on the table. Enleco doesn't know what kind of medicine is in it, but it is certain that most of them are It is highly toxic.A magic circle made of fine white bones was placed on a corner of the table.

Apart from that, the only other decoration in the whole house was the dissecting table against the wall, but when there was no body for Trod to dissect, it became Trod's bed.In fact, Enleko also lay on this bed. Trod performed the operation on Enleko on this dissection table. In the two days after the operation, Enleko lay on it to recuperate.Therefore, Enleco is more or less accustomed to the living habits of this necromancer who deals with necromancers all day long.

When Trod saw Enleco walk in, he put down the work he was doing and asked, "Why are you interested in coming to me today?"

Enleco took it for granted to be polite, such as thanking Mr. Trod for his life-saving grace, and coming to visit the old man.

And Trod obviously didn't take Enleco's nonsense nonsense to heart.

Enleco saw that Trod had no reaction, so he had to get back to business. Of course, he didn't tell Trod the real intention of coming. He claimed that he was very interested in all kinds of magic, and he had always been eager to see the mysterious magic. The true meaning of necromancy, so I came here to ask this master of necromancy humbly.

Enleco's remarks were not just nonsense, he was indeed quite curious about necromancer magic.

But Trod obviously didn't take Enleco's words seriously. He thought to himself, if he wanted to understand necromancer magic, he should have brought it up when he healed the kid himself two days ago. It is necessary to wait until now.

However, although Trodd didn't think so in his heart, he still had to make sense of his face, so first of all he said a few words of humility, saying that he was weak and unable to teach Enleco such a powerful curse magician. When insisting, on the one hand, Trod was extremely curious about Enleco's purpose, and on the other hand, he really wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Enleco's gourd.

Therefore, Trod briefly explained to Enleco the principle of necromantic magic and some general methods of application. Of course, he also taught Enleco two simple necromantic magic. Of course, these are all necromantic magic The most useless things in the game, such as summoning skeletons or something, Trod didn't want to add a powerful opponent to himself for no reason.

Enleco listened for a long time, but still didn't get what he wanted to know from Trod, so Enleco had to tell the evil mage Trod his real intention.

Trod was a pretty good listener, he was patient and never interrupted others, until Enleco finished everything, Trod twisted his extremely ugly face, and moved up and down with a pair of small dim eyes I looked at Enleco, and said: "If you came to me for this, then you may be disappointed. Communication with the realm of death is definitely not within the scope of magic I have mastered. What I care about is staying As for the dead things in this world, if your friend was wronged with hatred, resentment, and died with resentment, he may not be able to exalt because of too much resentment, so he stays in this world and cannot Entering or unwilling to enter the realm of death governed by the god of the underworld, but I heard you mention your friend's usual character and his appearance when he was dying. Your friend should have already recuperated in the realm of death Well, I can't do anything about the souls there."

At this point, Trod stopped and thought for a while and said, "You should ask Mados of your mission about this question. He is a descendant of the god of the underworld, and he can communicate directly with the realm of death. But Even so, you must be quite disappointed. You may not know much about the human soul. In fact, the pure soul is just a carrier of life imprints. What it has is at most some memories. The soul itself cannot think , The so-called communication is just that you can obtain the information you need from the souls you contact, I think this is definitely not the form of communication you want."

"The memory of the soul? Isn't it mentioned in many legends that you can talk freely with the dead? How can there be only memory?" Enleco asked puzzledly. He had heard a lot about such legends.

"Legend? How different is the difference between the legend and the truth, don't you know? Many legends are untrue." Trod said.

Enleko thought about what he said, and compared the contrast between the heroic image of the old wolf in the legend and his true colors, he could understand these words completely.But understanding management understands that Enleco has not completely given up, and he plans to think of other ways.

Trod obviously saw Enleco's thoughts, his dim eyes flashed a strange light, and he only heard him say: "I have a book here, which records the principles of necromancy and the application of necromancy. , and some simple Necromancer magic, there is a detailed description of the soul, you can use it to study it yourself, and see if you can find a way to communicate with the soul." .

Hearing what Trod said, Enleco was completely stunned. He didn't understand how Trod could treat himself so kindly. Isn't he a close-knit magician of Haigeello?How could he say such things to himself? It was simply teaching him necromantic magic indirectly. Why did Trod, who is known as the evil mage, do this?Enleco immediately thought of countless possibilities, but these possibilities were immediately overturned by him one by one. You know, if Trodd planned to harm him, there was no need to save him at the beginning, and Trodd killed him during treatment If he died, no one would think that Trod did it on purpose. After all, evil mages who mainly practice necromancy are not originally a profession of saving lives.If it was said that Trod was planning to control himself through some crooked ways, he could have done it when he was unconscious, so why wait until now?

Trod saw the anxiety in Enleco's heart, he pondered for a while and said: "The reason why I help you is not because of you, I owe another person, let alone what you want to communicate That soul is still someone I know, and doing you this little favor can be regarded as an confession to a friend."

Enleco was even more inexplicable when he heard this. How could Trod know Papa Dakto?Although the old man often came and went to the duke's mansion, at most he would meet with the noble ladies, and Trod would never appear in front of these noble ladies, which would frighten them.

But Trod obviously didn't want to explain anything. He took out a thin book that was brownish yellow and covered with mildew spots from the depths of the drawer. Trod threw the book in front of Enleco, and then buried his head and continued. Conducted his magic experiments.

※※※

Although Enleco still has a lot of things to understand, he knows that it is time to leave now, and Trod will definitely not answer any questions for him.So Enleko took his leave and left.

After Enleco closed the door, Trod gently put down the ongoing magic research in his hands, and in his eyes that did not belong to humans, there was a trace of extremely rare human emotion.

"I finally don't owe Meron anything anymore. I have finally paid off the debt I owed for decades. Hey, Dakto is also dead. I am the only old friend around Sally, poor Darko, he didn't know Sally recognized him already. Hey"

But Enleco didn't hear all this, and his mind had already been put on the booklet.

That booklet should be an introductory book for practicing necromancy. The magic recorded on it is quite simple, but the principle is explained very clearly. However, as Trodd said, necromancy does not help Enleco at all. For the explanation of the soul, it is more specific and clear in the notebook.However, the content is similar to what Trod said. It seems that it is impossible to communicate with a pure soul. If you want to communicate, the soul must have a carrier that can think. The skeleton soldiers summoned by necromantic magic are also Those without intelligence must be controlled by the caster. The stronger the caster is, the more skeletons they can control at the same time. This is the case in most necromancer magic. The so-called advanced necromancers are just It's just those casters who can control more undead creatures and more powerful undead creatures. This kind of magic is quite suitable for a special physique like Enleko, because necromantic magic only emphasizes control. The requirements for the concentration of mental power are not high.

Therefore, necromantic magic is a magic that everyone can master, but Enleco has no interest in those methods of practicing necromantic magic. Dealing with corpses and skeletons all day is not something ordinary people are willing to do.From that booklet, Enleco only memorized two extremely simple and common magics, one is the most fundamental skeleton summoning for necromancers, which is not what Enleco wants to remember, The magic was so simple that Enleco completely remembered it after just one glance, and he would never forget it.The other magic is to create a smoky undead creature. Enleco is interested in this magic because that kind of undead creature looks very similar to a dark spiritual body like Most.So after watching it twice, I remembered it.

But seeing this kind of magic reminded Enleco of Most, would Most know how to deal with the world of death?That guy seems to know a lot, and might have an answer.

Thinking of this, Enleco summoned Most from the depths of his soul.

Moster came out, but he felt quite uncomfortable. He always felt that Enleco summoned him when he had something to do. When he was free, he didn't even understand the proper manners. He didn't look like a soul at all. The way the contractor treats his master is more like treating himself as an encyclopedia that can be flipped through at any time.Most was very dissatisfied with this.

However, he still needs Enleco's help to retrieve his lost power. It has been 30,000 years, and he finally met this contractor, so he can only make do with it. If you don't respect it, record it item by item and case by case, and wait for the opportunity to settle it at one time in the future.

Most's answer to Enleco's question was roughly the same as what Trod said.However, it does provide a way to read the memory of the dead. Of course, the so-called memory of the dead is definitely not the memory of the soul that has returned to the world of death. It is the sphere of influence of the god of the underworld. Protoss, monsters like Moster are incapable of going there.However, Most told Enleco that the hair and skin of the human body, any piece of tissue, and even the accessories worn all the year round will record the important memories of that person, and that can be done with a little magic.

The kind of magic that Most is talking about is exactly its own specialty—spiritual magic. To be honest, who knows more about soul magic than him (God of Soul)?

While teaching Enleco the spiritual magic, Moster taught Enleco the simple spiritual magic that Enleco could remember and use immediately.

And after such a long time, Enleco, who has become more and more familiar with magic, no longer insists on the orthodoxy of magic as he did at the beginning. Now he does not reject necromancer magic, let alone spiritual magic? .

For Enleco to gradually become enlightened, Moster is of course extremely happy. It started to point out Enleco's maze by the way, and has been staying in the depths of Enleco's soul. Of course Moster understands the recent Enleco was worried about something for a while, so everything it said said that Enleco was most concerned about, and he couldn't find the point of the solution. Based on the accumulated experience of Moster more than 10,000 years, with As an ancient monster, Most is as intelligent as the God of Wisdom.What else could Enleco say about the series of solutions it proposed, and he naturally had to obey.

To be honest, Enleco now regards Most as a good teacher and friend. After all, compared with his other two teachers, Victor and Chris, Most treats himself much better.Think about how Mostert helped me a lot more than once, and let me get rid of countless difficulties, and up to now, Mostert seems to have never really harmed me once, not to mention that from Mostert, I have a great understanding of magic. Great understanding.

Therefore, Enleco became more and more obedient to what Most said.

Just such a person and a mysterious monster talked about the night. When the lights first came on, this long conversation came to an end, because Enleco estimated that by this time, Bertina should have been freed from her busy work Come out and go back to her room. Bertina has been working hard recently, and she went to bed as soon as she returned to the hotel for dinner, after a quick wash, so if it is later, Bertina is likely to Already asleep.

Enleco pushed open the door, and the lights were on in Bertina's room opposite, and she should have returned.

Enleco knocked on the door, and after a long time, Bertina opened the door with a tired face.

She glanced at Enleco who knocked on the door and said, "Do you have anything urgent? I'm really tired all day today. If possible, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

After saying this, Bertina planned to close the door.

"Do you want to meet Dad again?" Enleco asked.

Hearing this sentence, Bertina shook her body, she opened her eyes wide and looked at her companion, her tired face had already disappeared: "Is it the magic of the god of the underworld?"

When Bertina was in the mission, she had always been very close to the old magician Mados, so it is natural to know that the spirit of the underworld can communicate with the world of death, but the spirit of the gods is not good enough for her. For the little magician, it was too far away, so Bertina didn't ask about the specific situation.She also never thought that she had the ability to reach the strength of the Mados magician.

But for Enleco, she doesn't think so. Enleco's true strength is a mystery to her and everyone. Bertina really doesn't know how powerful her companion who has been getting along day and night has. Strength.

Since the beginning of the magic trial, I, Kate, Jerry, and Enleco in front of me have never been separated. For everyone, Enleco has no secrets that are known to everyone, but Enleco's strength But it is always a mystery. I remember that at the beginning of the trial and assessment, Enleko was just an ordinary person who knew no magic at all. At that time, absolutely no one could imagine that he would become the strongest among them.

※※※

Bertina is not surprised at all that Enleco will do unexpected things, so the young female magic apprentice is full of confidence in Enleco's proposal, not to mention Bertina is indeed Wanting to meet her father again, she has a lot to tell him.

Enleco walked to the door of the next room. He knew that since the death of his father, Katz had been in poor spirits, and he would definitely not be able to hear the knock on the door, so Enleco opened the door and walked in.Behind him is Bertina.

The room was drowsy and the lights were not turned on, only the moonlight came in from the window. Katz was lying on his bed with his back facing the sky, lying there in a daze. It turned out that the quilt on the bed where his father slept was neatly folded Qi, there is Dad's luggage on the head of the bed.

Without Enleco's greeting, Bertina went straight to light the lamp, while Enleco walked up to Katz, and he asked softly: "Are you okay? We want to talk to Dad's soul, I need you help."

Hearing what Enleco said, Katz jumped up from the bed: "Really? Can I really see Dad again?" Katz asked excitedly.

"Sir, tell me, how can I help?" Katz added.

Enleco thought for a while and asked, "Did Dad leave any relics? The kind he always carries with him."

"Yes, yes," Enleco responded repeatedly: "My father has a finger protector. My father said that it is the most precious possession in his life. That finger protector is always carried by my father and never leaves him. After my father passed away, the finger guard stayed with me."

Speaking of which, Katz took out a finger guard made of ordinary brass from his arms, which was exactly the same as the finger guards used by all tailors, and there was nothing special about it.

Enleco took the finger guard carefully, and he chanted the spell softly. With the soft and slow singing, a dim light appeared on the finger guard, and this light swirled in circles , the radiance gathered more and more, and the vortexes became denser and denser. Finally, these vortexes merged together one after another, forming a disc shining with silvery white light. The whole disc was clean and bright. , revealing a little bit of blurred scenes, most of which are not clearly visible, but some can still be distinguished.

As the silver light flowed, the scene became clearer and clearer. Katz first recognized the place as a hard labor camp in Kasna County. He once sent a guest to that place. It was a terrible place. Throughout his life, Enleco knew better, but Bertina and Katz had never heard of it, so they didn't know that Dad used to be a hard labor prisoner.

Enleco didn't want to give the two people the impression of destroying Dad's image. He gave a general introduction to how Dad was locked up in a hard labor camp, but it was clear that Enleco was worrying in vain. Dad is very respectful, how can you think that Dad is a bad person?What's more, Katz is a native of Kaoqi, and Bertina has also seen a lot of indignant Kaoqi society during the inspection. The dark side, of course the two of them can understand, how can a person like Dad He will be sent to a labor camp. .

Listening to Enleco telling about Dad's extremely rough past, and looking at the images created by magic, Bertina and Katz finally understood the other side of Dad's unknown, but seeing Dad with their own eyes Bertina and Katz, who are hidden deep in their hearts, are not too sad. This is mainly because the father's memory shown in the scene only has those happy things, those sad, helpless, and painful memories , without leaving a trace.

Just looking at this memory, everyone will think that Dad will always be happy and happy in this life, and he has never encountered any sad or painful things, and these happy days are in a paradise where the sun is shining and flowers are blooming spent, not in a dreadful labor camp.

Of course, Enleco is quite aware of Dad's life, although among all the people, Dad and Enleco are not the closest. When it comes to being close, Dad and the coachman Kaz are more closely related, and they think the same , Bertina and Dad have a common language, and even Xiaoyun spends more time with Dad than Enleke, but if you really understand Dad's inner thoughts, Enleko is the only one , because in the eyes of others, Dad is a perfect person who has never been troubled. He can always inspire and motivate other people around him and solve their problems. This is what Bertina and Kaz see now, As imagined, in their eyes, in their hearts, Dad is happy and happy...

That finger guard has been with Dad for most of his life, and it condenses the beautiful memories of Dad's life. Now without Enleco's explanation, both Bertina and Kaz already know who the kind and innocent Miss Saili is. Fortunately, Katz said that he had never met the Duke of Haigello, so he just thought that this "Saint" lady finally became a noble lady and had a happy life. This is a pretty perfect princess. ending.But Bertina knew the powerful old lady quite well. Although Enleco was beaten to death and refused to say, his life experience in the mansion of Duke Haigello, but those few were sent to serve His maids are not obliged to keep Enleco secret. Although they will not talk nonsense to people who don't know about it, there is no secret for those who know Enleco's other identity.

In fact, regarding this experience, the princess and His Royal Highness are equally fond of talking about it. They always ask about the situation at that time under the pretext of knowing the inside story of the hard-line leader of the Kaoqi Kingdom, and let the maids explain everything they know in detail. Come out, and the lady-in-waiting officer is even more embellished, vividly portraying Enleco's embarrassment, and at the same time describing Hegeello's obsession, and the hopes of other people in the Duke's Mansion, all clearly described.Of course, at the same time, it also revealed what a powerful, shrewd and capable character the old lady was.

The maid officer's description was so successful that it gave people an immersive feeling. Therefore, in Bertina's impression, the mother of the Duke of Haigello was definitely a resourceful and difficult character. The image of the "Saint" has nothing to do with it.What's more, Haigeello, as the leader of the hardliners in the Kaoqi Kingdom, blamed him for the persecution of those goddess believers, which is not too much at all.Doesn't his mother care at all about the Goddess of Life Cult she created?

Bertina's heart is full of doubts.But the only thing she didn't doubt was that her father's feelings for the "Saint" in his mind, in his memory, all had traces of this "Saint", as if this "Saint" It is synonymous with happiness in Dad's mind.This kind of happy memory accompanied the old man through his whole life.

With the flow of memory, the time gradually advances to the encounter with Enleco and the others, and travels around Kaoqi. During the initial journey, Katz has not met, and Katz became one of them. Seeing all this, Katz burst into tears, and Enleco never thought that this boring journey would be such a happy memory in the eyes of the old man.

And the subsequent memories are more clear and close. It can be said that every day is a happy memory worth cherishing for Dad.Until that terrible incident, when Pop went to the Reclamation Team, the memory was still full of feelings of great happiness.Seeing this, Enleco planned to stop, he was afraid that Bertina and Kaz would be unbearable to see the scene afterwards.But Bertina and Katz firmly opposed it. They must see what wishes their father had left when he was dying.

Enleco had no choice but to obey the wishes of the two of them, but unexpectedly, there was no trace of fear, pain, or regret in the memory of his father before he died.When the magic scene dissipated, there was only a faint feeling of happiness rippling throughout the room.

※※※

Bertina and Katz were clearly intoxicated by this sense of happiness. Although their eyes were full of tears, they all had bright smiles on their faces. Katz's depressed look was swept away, and Bertina It is no longer the original haggard expression, and she has regained her youthful vitality.

"Papa wouldn't like to see us mourning his death too much, would he?" Bertina said.

"Yeah, Dad is happy in this life, he got everything he was looking for, he is so tired, now he can finally rest well, we should be happy for him... woo woo woo" Kaz said at the end Already sobbing and speechless.

But from his tone, Enleco could hear that Katz's mental state was much better than before.

"Actually, I already knew that Dad... woo... Dad has realized that he will die during this journey. He once entrusted me with some important things for safekeeping... and told me that after When will that thing be handed over to whom, he told me this...I think, Dad has already thought of...this situation today." Katz continued.

"What is it that allows me... can we take a look?" Enleco asked.

"It's a very...very peculiar thing. I simply don't know how that thing can help. However, my father has taken care of it. It must be effective under certain circumstances. If it is too early to let people If you know it, it will cause unimaginable consequences, my father took care of it like this, so... I..." Kazinono said. .

Seeing Katz's embarrassed face, Enleco couldn't hold on any longer, but now he is relieved of Bertina and Katz. These two people should have come out of extreme sadness. Thinking of this, Enleco Lecco bid farewell to his companions and returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, Enleco no longer felt lonely and hesitant. Although his father had passed away, his memory, the memory of him being with him, still remained deep in his heart.Enleco said softly to the empty space, "Good night, Dad." After that, the young magic apprentice fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, the noisy sound woke up Enleco. Since the construction of the hospital, Enleco has not been woken up for a long time.Enleco felt quite strange, what happened?

Since the assassination, it was the first time that Enleco got up from the bed so early. After a brief grooming, Enleco walked down the stairs, where Bertina and Katz were already waiting there, Enleco Ke glanced at them, and it seemed that the two of them had fully recovered. Although they looked a little tired on the surface, they were in a good state of mind.

In front of Bertina and Katz, there were a lot of barriers, and there were knights covered in blood lying on them. Bertina was concentrating on treating them. Except for Bertina, the other goddesses Among the believers, the senior elders of Degao also gathered there, and everyone was busy helping their own patients.

"The search team that went out to patrol was attacked by bandits. The hospital is full. These seriously injured people have to stay in the hotel. It's quieter here, and it's convenient for Miss Bertina to treat them." Katz the driver explained.

"Attacked? So many people? Is the bandit group so rampant?" Enleco asked.

Several of the wounded knights had been treated, but were still lying on the fence due to excessive blood loss.

Hearing what Enleco said, they told Enleco how they were attacked.

It turned out that the county guard was quite concerned about the assassination of the imperial envoy, so they sent a search team the next day. In the first two days, they did receive some results. Several teams of thieves who were alone were wiped out by them in one fell swoop, but Unexpectedly, suddenly, the strength of the thieves group increased greatly. The original thieves squad in twos and threes suddenly formed a thieves group headed by the blood fox thieves group. nightmare.

Inhabiting the vast desert, among all the thieves, the Blood Fox thieves are one of the most aggressive thieves, what is even more troublesome is that it is also one of the three desert thieves, the other two thieves One is the Tyrannosaurus Thief Group that was wiped out by Kobe Leo and Enleco in the Qisla Valley, and the other is the Shadow Thief Group whose traces are not limited to the desert, but roaming around Kaoqi.

The Blood Fox Thieves Group and the Tyrannosaurus Thieves Group have always had disagreements. The Tyrannosaurus Thieves Group believes that there is no need to turn against the Kaoqi Kingdom, so they have always had close ties with the various towns of the Kaoqi Kingdom and often use each other.The Blood Fox Thieves Group believes that the desert is their natural protection, and there is no need to be afraid of the powerful military power of the Kaoqi Kingdom, so they have always insisted on plundering the cities on the border of the Kaoqi Kingdom.

Among these border cities, Chengdaville bears the brunt. Due to the influence of the southeast monsoon that brings abundant water vapor from the southeast coast, the climate here is humid and warm, suitable for plant growth. Although the food production is not rich, the underground mineral deposits have created It has won the reputation of the richest county in the southeast.There are many fat and oily rich men and businessmen here.The nobles here are also much richer than elsewhere.Therefore, it has always been a piece of fat in the eyes of the Blood Fox Thieves, but before that, the actions of the Blood Fox Thieves have been obstructed by the Tyrannosaurus Thieves.

It just so happened that the Tyrannosaurus Thieves were wiped out this time because they ambushed the Sophie Envoy. The Blood Fox Thieves had no opponents to restrain them, so they had been planning this plunder for a long time. They had prepared for several months and fought everywhere at the same time. , annexed more than a dozen thieves groups, large and small, and the original thieves group more than 3000 people more than doubled in size, and those small-scale thieves groups who were squeezed to the point of no living space had to take the risk of invading Stryer County, hoping to gain It’s cheaper, and then go far away, anyway, all countries are recruiting soldiers and horses to prepare for war, and you can find a place to settle down wherever you go.

It was one of these thieves who attacked Dad, and the Blood Fox Thieves stood by, observing the fighting form of the local knights in Stryr County, and collecting various information. When the opportunity is ripe, they Just then the attack was launched, and the search team happened to meet the blood fox bandits who were looting two manors in the southeast of Strayer County. Although the search team did not suffer in terms of numbers, there were 3000 people, but they had nothing to do with the enemy in front of them. I know, but the Bandit Group has already carefully studied their tactics and is fully prepared.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, it was a one-sided situation. After only two shocks, the search team was defeated, and all the knights went their separate ways, fleeing for their lives.And those thieves were chasing after them, the search team suffered heavy casualties, and less than a hundred people were able to come back alive.

When Enleco saw the miserable appearance of the knights, he could also guess what kind of Shura slaughterhouse these people experienced. Enleco also faced such a scene during his escape in the desert. Enleco also had a profound experience of helplessness and despair.

"Cultivate with peace of mind, I'm fine now." Enlai scientifically comforted everyone, which is not what he is good at.

But the knights were all willing to believe what he said, and of course the Forbidden Magician said they were safe, so who could object to that?Although the Blood Fox Bandit Group is cruel and tough, the Tyrannosaurus Bandit Bandit, which is comparable in strength, was wiped out at the hands of the Imperial Envoy before him?Thinking of this, the knights were extremely pleased.

Seeing the extremely trusting eyes of those injured knights, Enleco couldn't stay in the hall any longer, and he left the hotel alone.

It is completely different from usual. The busy scene in the past is no longer on the street. There are people busy packing up their things everywhere. Many stores have been closed, and signs such as "suspended" and "closed business" are hung high on the door of the store.The only bustling places are those foundries, iron shops, and carts and horses. .

※※※

Enleco wandered around the street. The shops that were still open sold all kinds of weapons. There were always long queues in front of these shops, and people frantically bought all kinds of weapons Weapons, this can somewhat enhance their sense of security.Most of the people walking on the street had long swords, machetes and other weapons pinned to their waists, and some people held long guns in their hands.

It seems that the news that the search team was wiped out by the entire army has spread.Everyone is living in a state of panic, whether men or women, commoners or nobles, everyone is terrified of the coming gang of thieves.If anyone else is the same as usual, it is only the children who are playing marbles on the side of the road and playing happily. Only they can still be carefree. Enleco is so envious of them. Because they don't need to worry about tomorrow.

Enleco walked and looked all the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the gate of the city, surrounded by a circle of people.

Enleco squeezed up hard, and there were five or six carriages parked at the gate of the city. The carriages were full of corpses, bloody corpses. These corpses could not tell their original identities at all. Everyone was stripped. You have to be naked and throw it on the roof of the car.Clothes, luggage, and even the metal crossbars and carved window partitions on the carriage were removed.

Seeing this scene, Enleco can roughly guess what happened. It should be that the fleeing Kaoqi businessman unfortunately encountered a bandit group.

Seeing this scene, Enleco no longer had the patience to wander around, and he walked towards the hotel depressed.

When Enleco returned to the hotel, many people were already waiting there, Bertina, Katz, Xiaoyun, and the three battle priests.

"You're finally back," one of the three battle priests yelled impatiently.

At this time, a knight in a straight military uniform walked up to Enleco and said respectfully: "Mr. Sheriff please attend the emergency meeting."

After the officer finished speaking, he beckoned, and five carriages came one after another. This time, the three combat priests didn't care whether the horses were the faithful friends of man, and they got into the carriage first, impatiently.

Following them, Bertina also got into the carriage. To Enleco's surprise, it was obvious that Xiaoyun and Katz were also invited.They also boarded the carriages in the back. Of course, the most luxurious carriage in the front must be prepared for Enleco.

After Enleko got into the carriage, the carriage moved slowly, and arrived at the Governor's Mansion in a short while.

This time, the guard at the door did not stop him, and the carriage drove directly to the hall.

When Enleco got off the carriage, the guards had already stepped forward to greet him attentively, and Enleco and his party were taken to the central hall, which was the place where the coming-of-age ceremony was held.It's just that today's venue is filled with a deep and dignified atmosphere.

The entire hall was covered with a scarlet carpet, and a long conference table was placed in the center of the hall. At one end of the conference table was the sheriff of Stryer County, and at the other end was the VIP seat on the left. Miss Milinda with a eccentric personality, sitting on her left is the evil mage Trod, perhaps because of Trod, everyone else stayed away from this terrifying evil mage as much as possible.

Enleco sat on the VIP seat prepared for him on the right side knowingly, and Bertina, Xiaoyun, and Katz sat on Enleco's right side in turn.The few of them were obviously also afraid of Trod's terrifying face, so their expressions were somewhat unnatural.

"Two respected imperial envoys, as you have seen, this county has encountered the greatest crisis in history. The desert bandits attacked this county by surprise, resulting in the assassination of Lord Enleco. The First Cavalry Regiment of Stryer County, Two thousand 150 seven brave knights lost their precious lives. What is even more distressing is the murder of the respected old Mr. Ducktor." Speaking of this, the sheriff paused, and it was obvious that the old man He also felt extremely sorry for his father's death.

"Moreover, as you can see, the blood fox bandits are fierce and tough. Relying on their familiarity with the surrounding terrain, they ambushed our search team everywhere, causing us heavy losses. It also caused great damage to the people living in Stryer County. There is great anxiety, many people plan to leave Chengdaville City and take refuge in other cities, and those who are eager to flee are intercepted and brutally killed by the Blood Fox Thieves without exception."

"In order to ensure the stability of Strayer County, I ask for your assistance." The Sheriff finally mentioned the topic of this meeting.

Then the county guard reported his strategic concept in detail. Enleco couldn't understand many things. The strategy the sheriff said would not work at all.

Enleco felt that the strategy mentioned by the county guard was more like attacking the main army of a country. The county guard's strategy was to concentrate the troops in his hands as much as possible and send out scouts everywhere. Attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop.Enleco didn't know anything about military affairs. He had never received formal military education, but he knew at least one thing, that is, the horses of the Knights of Stryl County could never outrun the war horses of those bandits.

Enleco helped his father manage the store since he was a child, and Enleco took care of the carriages and horses of the travelers who traveled far and wide.Therefore, he learned to drive a carriage and ride a horse at an early age.And among those wandering travelers, there are many people who are familiar with horses. They often point out how Enleco should take care of their horses. Therefore, Enleco has become an expert in the selection, identification and breeding of horses at a young age. up.Therefore, he has long seen that the war horses of the Knights of Strell County are selected and trained according to the standards of heavy armored cavalry. The horses have thick and powerful legs, and their hooves are wide and easy to distribute weight. This kind of war horses can maintain a certain impact on short distances. It is strong and resistant to heavy loads, so it is very suitable for heavy armored cavalry.However, this kind of war horse is not suitable for long-distance running. They lack enough stamina and get tired easily.Therefore, Enleco felt that he was not at all sure whether the sheriff's strategy was feasible. .

With the same opinion as Enleco, there is only one other imperial envoy, Miss Milinda.Because she was quite familiar with the strategy proposed by the sheriff. Wasn't that the strategy used by Haigeello when he pacified the Kingdom of Fertilan?Back then, Haigeello successfully used scouts and light armored cavalry to quickly raid, always firmly grasping the initiative of the war in his own hands, and finally relied on the heavy armored cavalry to completely defeat more than [-] Fertilan Knights , marking a terminator for the Battle of Fertilan.

It seems that this county guard has nothing in his stomach at all, he only knows how to fight according to his previous experience, and he doesn't even look at it. The enemy this time is completely different from the regular army of the Kingdom of Fertilan.Besides, seven years have passed since the Battle of Fertilan. Many people have already analyzed the gains and losses of that battle very thoroughly. That battle has already become a classic battle and has been recorded in the history of war.

As long as someone in the Blood Fox Thieves has studied the Battle of Fertilan, he will definitely find a lot of opportunities for him to take advantage of. Since the Blood Fox Thieves have the word "fox" in their name, they should have their reasons of.

Thinking of this, Milinda was even more disapproving of the sheriff's deployment, but she didn't say anything, because she knew that no matter how accurate she said, the sheriff would not listen to her. , although women have a fairly high status, but this is only applicable in the family and social circles, no one would be willing to listen to a woman's opinion in politics, let alone the military.Everyone has the same understanding of this aspect, such as his brother, Hai Geluo, and even the emperor who has been pursuing him.

Melinda was looking forward to seeing the show, and she wasn't worried about being in danger anyway.With an evil mage like Trod by his side, no one can get close to within a hundred meters. Besides, the knights under him, although they are all jerks and lazy, everyone has two brushes and their abilities are absolutely outstanding, let alone Milin Da is extremely confident in his own skills.In fact, apart from his brother, His Majesty the Emperor, and Haigeello, no one else knew that the "Paladin of Shadows" of the Kaoqi Kingdom, who was once short-lived in the pan, was the one of her delicate appearance. generation.

If it weren't for women not being able to join the army and politics, the coach who led the army to quell the rebellion in the kingdom of Fertilan wouldn't have been able to turn Hegeello.

Milinda had other thoughts in her heart, and Enleco really couldn't make any sense. Anyway, he didn't know anything about military affairs, so Enleco could only stay aside and listen obediently.But he finally understood why the sheriff called so many people, even Xiaoyun and Katz were invited to the meeting.

It turned out that he asked Xiaoyun and the others for this encirclement and suppression of the bandit group, which required a large amount of military supplies. Originally, it would take at least a month to raise these items. Tianzhong quickly prepared these urgently needed supplies. At this time, the county guard felt that this club was quite useful.

The goddess believers in Bertina's hands are definitely the best way to reduce casualties on her own side. As for Katz, after the death of her father, Katz became the only person to contact all aspects. The popularity is not very good, and it is far easier to do business with this imperial envoy than with the honest Katz. It is up to Katz to get support from all walks of life and to ask those businessmen for money and goods.
