Magic Apprentice

It is not a pleasant thing to be cared for by a savage.

Enleco can at least be sure of one thing, it is absolutely impossible for a barbarian to become a qualified nurse.

The food of the savages and the deafening snoring at night are all unforgettable for Enleco.

But what makes Enleco unacceptable the most is that when Malu moved his body, he could do it with one hand.In Enleco's view, that's the way humans grab cats.

Enleco had no choice but to find that Mark Lu's attitude towards him was indeed a bit like treating a pet-a wounded pet.

In order to get rid of all this, Enleco worked hard to recover his body as soon as possible.

It is not difficult to do this.

In fact, he was not injured at all but lost a lot of blood.

And those folk remedies of Mark Lu are quite useful for Enleco's anemia.

But those writhing and curling earthworms and the bone marrow removed from the animal's spine became part of the nightmare that Enleco was afraid of.

After swallowing a lot of extremely disgusting food, Enleco's body gradually recovered.

However, he still couldn't walk on the mountain road for a long time, and the stretcher was still his means of transportation for traveling.

Whenever he saw him weak and weak, Malu always shook his head and sighed.Apparently he was even more disapproving of human fragility.

Although Enleco recovered much more slowly than the barbarians, he was finally able to walk on his own before reaching the next town.

The first thing Enleco did after he recovered was to ask Mark Lu for the astrolabe back.

Although the barbarian Marklu saw Enleco flying with the astrolabe to a mountain far ahead, he reluctantly returned the astrolabe to Enleco.

However, Maclu finally had a little confidence in Enleco's promise to teach him magical magic.

At least among the magicians he had seen, none of them could go from one place to another suddenly like Enleco.

If it wasn't for Marklu's resolute reluctance to be shrouded in the thick smoke, Enleco even planned to take this big guy on a trip together.

Since he couldn't cast magic, Enleco had to walk with Malu.

Only then did he regret why he threw away the stretcher so early.

He just recovered his health and couldn't keep up with Malu's forward speed at all.

Although Malu invited Enleco to sit on his shoulders, Enleco declined the barbarian's kindness.

First, it reminds him of a baby or a pet.

Secondly, the bursts of smell emanating from Malu's body are also the reason why Enleco is unwilling to approach him.

Fortunately, the town was not far from them.

Among the cols, there is indeed a bustling town.

There are more than a dozen imposing buildings concentrated in the center of the town, and there is also a central square there.

Other places are ordinary low-rise buildings with two or three floors.

On the outskirts of the town, the buildings became more and more sparse. Warehouses, stables, blacksmith shops and various workshops were scattered over a large area.

There is a straight avenue in the center of the town.

Both sides of the avenue are the busiest.

The avenue stretches across the central square to far, far away.

Following Malu, Enleco walked down the hill.

When they entered the city, this strange combination immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Marlu, we are staying in the hotel tonight, you also try our life." Enleco said, eating and sleeping in the open for several days made him miss the usual way of life very much.

"I'm not used to living there. Your city doesn't even have a decent tree. There are no animals or birds. You just need to fill me up. I have never objected to your food." Malu replied Said, he took out the bag of sand from his arms and threw it to Enleco.

Marklu's brain is not stupid, of course he knows that if Enleco buys things, the number of items that can be bought is much more than that of him.

In addition, he knows that he is not good at calculating numbers, so it is more appropriate to teach such troublesome things to people with better brains.

Because of being in the mountains, the people in the town are no strangers to savages.

But since they didn't see the whole truckload of valuable goods, the merchants in the town were not interested in warmly welcoming this foreign friend.

What's more, with Enleco by his side, the merchants have already identified Enleco as the agent of these barbarians.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and some savages with better brains do find some trusted human agents.

Doing business with these agents is not as profitable.

Even if those agents can be bought, the money earned must be divided into two, and agents will not work in vain.

In this way, it is not more than fair trade earning.

Therefore, those businessmen who want to make huge profits have little interest in doing business with barbarians who have agents.

Enleco is also extremely unfamiliar with the Kingdom of Ledin.

But when he was in his hometown, Enleco learned more or less about this strange country from those travelers who traveled north and south.

The Kingdom of Lydin is the most mysterious country among all the countries.

She is composed of dozens of completely independent small countries united together.

Every country has its own customs and laws.

The Kingdom of Lydin is famous for its trade and handicrafts. Her prosperity may not be comparable to that of the Kaoqi Kingdom, but the wealth of the Kingdom of Lydin is unmatched by any other country.

Moreover, most parts of this country are rolling mountains, and various strange races live in the mountains.

There are far more barbarians, elves and daemons than anywhere else.

The Ledin people have already learned to live in peace with these alien creatures.

They gave full play to their talents as businessmen and got a lot of benefits from these alien races.

Seeing that the people in the town were pointing at Malu out of curiosity, Enleco finally believed the rumor.

In his own country, the Kingdom of Sophie, if an alien creature appeared in a densely populated place, it would immediately cause severe panic. .

Not only the locals will organize a defense force, even the army will be dispatched because of this.

In the Kingdom of Sophie, alien creatures are not allowed to move around human settlements.

Although the traditional habits of the Kingdom of Ledin and the Kingdom of Sophie are completely different, there is one thing that is exactly the same, that is, the highest-level shops and hotels must be built in the most prosperous areas.

Near the central square, Enleco finally found the place he had been looking for for a long time.

It was a wide five-story building, and the bottom floor was completely opened.

There is a row of windows along one side of the street, and colorful flowers are planted on the window sills.

Although these flowers are not expensive varieties, they can quite bring out a bit of joy and excitement.

The door was open, and the sign at the door read "Golden Crown Inn".

The windows of the rooms above were mostly heavily curtained, and now and then a window or two stood open.

"How is it here?" Enleco asked.

"You can decide, as long as I can fill my stomach." Malu said disapprovingly.

Walking into the restaurant, Enleco and Mark Lu found a relatively spacious seat and sat down.

Mark Lu sat on a sofa that he dragged over by himself. This reckless behavior made other diners in the restaurant look sideways.

But Enleco didn't care about it.

In his view, Mark Lu's behavior is not so unacceptable.

When he was in the Kaoqi Kingdom, he had seen the great wizard Kobe Leo do the same thing, but no one dared to say that Kobe Leo was rude and reckless.

Although Enleco thinks so, most people are not so well-mannered. Those who are eating pretend to be unbearable, and some even call the restaurant host over.

Seeing this posture, Enleco knew that there was trouble.

And when he saw a figure dressed like a restaurant manager walking towards him, Enleco knew that the trouble was for him.

Presumably the manager also didn't want to provoke an extremely strong barbarian.

Anyone in this situation would choose Enleco, who looks weaker, as the object of conversation.

"Sir, you and your companion have affected other people's dining experience. I hope you can choose other restaurants to eat." The manager said, but there was no sense of negotiation in his tone.

Enleco didn't answer the manager's words. He stretched out his index finger and drew a few strokes in the air, and suddenly pointed a few times towards a far corner.

There were a few ornamental plants in that corner, and there were a few sofas and a low coffee table next to it.

All of a sudden, the few plants grew wildly, and the green vines intertwined to form two large nets.

The coffee table in the middle is gently supported by the extended bushes.

After a while, that originally lonely corner turned into a huge flower shed.

"Let's just sit there so as not to disturb other people's meals." Enleco stood up with a smile.

The restaurant manager stood there in a daze, and it took a while to recover from the shock.

He now knew what to do.

Complaints from other customers in the restaurant are no longer important.

After all, compared with a magician, the status of those customers is much lower.

There is absolutely no need to offend magicians for the sake of ordinary people.

As for those customers, seeing this astonishing scene, they also fell silent.

The savage looked less intolerable now, for the fellow had a wizard friend.

Enleco has long been accustomed to all this, and he casually ordered a few dishes that he hadn't tasted before, and of course he ate them himself.As for Maklu, he had the manager prepare a large portion of beef and vegetables for the voracious savage.

"By the way, is there any news recently? As far as I know, there seems to be a battle at the border." Enleco asked casually after finishing ordering.

"Battle? You mean what happened at the border a month ago? I heard that the Kingdom of Kaoqi set up an ambush at the border in order to hunt down Sophie's Forbidden Curse Mage and Marshal's wife. But what they are facing is after all the forbidden Conjurer, those Kaoqi troops are almost wiped out." The restaurant manager replied, such a tragic battle seemed so flat from his mouth who had not experienced it all.The only thing that can arouse his interest may be the scandal between the Forbidden Curse Mage Sophie and the marshal's wife.

But what Enleco really cares about is the time the restaurant manager told him.

Enleco never thought that it would take a whole month from losing consciousness to being picked up by Mark Lu.

During this month, he was not eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, nor starved to death, which is a miracle.

"It hasn't been peaceful recently. Not only has there been a war on the border, but also wild beasts in the mountains have attacked towns everywhere. Several nearby towns have organized defense forces." The restaurant manager said that there was obviously a war with the distant Kaoqi border. In comparison, the attack of wild beasts can be regarded as an important news.

"Beasts? We didn't encounter any beasts along the way." Enleco asked in bewilderment.

"Sir, of course you and your companions are not afraid of these beasts, and the beasts don't dare to provoke you." The restaurant manager replied respectfully: "However, a large group of wild beasts attacked Wenduo Town not far from here two days ago. Most of the residents on the island have disappeared. What is even more strange is that the types of wild animals that attacked Wenduo Town are extremely complex. You know that bears and tigers are animals that live alone in the mountains and forests. They seldom appear in groups, but when they attacked Wenduo Town Many bears and tigers were present among the beasts in Dowtown. Therefore, there are suspicions that the beasts were being manipulated."

While talking, the restaurant manager peeked at Enleco, obviously hoping to get some positive answers from the little magician in front of him.

Enleco didn't speak, but Malu spoke: "It sounds like those goblins are behind the scenes. When they attack our tribe and the elves' territory, they use wild beasts to clear the way for them.".

"The goblin—" the restaurant manager gasped, his face turned pale.

Obviously, people here are full of fear for this mysterious and evil creature.

"Where is the town you mentioned just now? Is it far from here?" Enleco asked, he was very interested in seeing the rumored magical creatures like goblins.

"Going south along the avenue, the next town is Wenduo Town. Because Wenduo Town is quite close to us, we are extremely worried. Everyone is raising money and planning to go to a big city to hire a few magicians to sit in town." While talking, the manager peeked at Enleco, his intentions couldn't be more obvious.

To the disappointment of the restaurant manager, Enleco didn't say anything at all. Instead, the barbarian who came with him asked, "Is there a red leaf tree planted in the town you are talking about?"

"Yes, Wenduo Town was originally called Hongfeng Town, and the maple forest is quite famous." The manager nodded repeatedly.

The barbarian turned his head to Enleco and said, "That town is where I made a deal with my people a few days ago."

"I hope that my ring is not lost." Enleke said to himself with a long sigh.

"Don't worry, who would pay attention to such a small thing." The barbarian said carelessly.

Enleco was far less relaxed than his fellow barbarians, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

……

※※※

When leaving the town, Enleco bought an extremely comfortable traveling carriage with Malu's gold.

When he fled in Kaoqi Kingdom, he was obsessed with this elegant and comfortable means of transportation.

The trailer at the back of the carriage was removed and replaced with a seat, which was Malu's seat. He was too big to accommodate this guy in front of him.

In addition to supplementing food, Enleco also bought a whole set of maps in a bookstore at the intersection.

It contains not only the main traffic map of the Kingdom of Lydin, but also the detailed traffic map of the fifteen counties in the south.

Although the Kingdom of Lydin is full of mountains and mountains, as the most prosperous commercial country in the world, criss-crossing roads are all over the entire territory of the Kingdom of Lydin.

These roads are densely packed like spider webs, and the nodes of the network are thriving cities.

It is completely different from the Kingdom of Sophie and the Kingdom of Kaoqi.

There are not many farmlands near the cities of the Lydin Kingdom.

Unlike other countries, the whole territory is covered with large and small villages.

Driving along the avenue, Enleco didn't see any villages at all along the way.

Apart from the cliffs on both sides of the avenue, there are stretches of coniferous forests.

This kind of tree that is still lush in the severe winter is the symbol of the Kingdom of Leding.

It was once said that the Kingdom of Lydin was a country covered in pine needles.

In Enleco's view, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

Enleco didn't feel the coming of winter because of the mountains blocking it.He could even see the squirrels hopping from branch to branch, and occasionally hopping up the avenue to pick up fallen pine cones.

"Marlu, can you give me the heart of reason? I need to use it to determine the direction." Enleco said as he parked the carriage in front of a fork.

The barbarian reluctantly took out the emerald and handed it to Enleco.

Maklu was very fond of this beautiful stone purchased with his gold.And according to the rules of the tribe, this beautiful stone should belong to him.

"When will you teach me magic?" Maklu murmured.

"Didn't I already teach you? This has to be done slowly. Moreover, I really don't know how to let you understand magic and meditation. You have to give me time to find the correct method." Enleco said with a sigh.

He took over the heart of reason, concentrated his mental power on the thumb-sized emerald, and began to meditate quietly.

After a while, Enleco shook his head helplessly.

Malu grabbed his beloved green stone and stuffed it into his arms.

"What? Haven't found it yet?" asked the savage.

Enleco didn't answer Mark Lu's question. He asked instead: "You should be more aware of those goblins. Do they like to wander around?"

"Don't ask me, I've never seen those goblins. Anyone who has seen goblins has already turned into a mummy. I only know that these guys like to be alone. They have a strong sense of domain. There won't be two goblins. But even one goblin would be a great disaster for our tribe." Maklu said while shaking his head.

"However, my ring must be in this mountain forest, Malu, is there any tribe you know here, maybe they can tell us the whereabouts of the goblin." Enleco said.

"We will never live near the main road." Mark Lu shook his head again and again.

"That ring had better be taken back quickly. You don't know how powerful that ring is. It can easily control all kinds of creatures, and at the same time it can detect what is going on in the minds of other creatures. I hope those The goblin can't manipulate the ring. Otherwise, your tribe may have been turned into ruins." In order to make his fellow barbarians work more actively, Enleco threatened.

"Since it's such a powerful thing, you should make it so that we can understand it at a glance, and I won't sell that thing." Malu complained.

"However, my tribe is in the deep mountains far to the east, where there are a few chains made by my white bearded friend. Before I left the tribe, I had the people of the tribe hide in the valley blocked by the chains. It was originally where we A place to spend the winter. This time we have moved to a large herd of cattle and sheep, and my people don’t need to come out after hiding in the valley. They will be fine.” Mark Lu said here with a rather smug tone.

Enleco shook his head disapprovingly. No one knew better than him that no magic defensive barrier except the heart of reason could expel the power of the soul ring.

Driving forward in the carriage, Enleco planned to reach the next town before dusk. .

Maybe ask the locals for some helpful clues.

The carriage traveled for about an hour, when suddenly the horses pulling the carriage neighed in panic.

The four horses seemed to be in a panic, retreating step by step in chaotic footsteps.

The barbarian Marklu seemed to feel the danger as well, he quickly jumped out of the carriage, holding the thick red pine stick studded with spikes tightly in his hand.

Enleco pressed down the cast iron wrench next to the carriage, and the two huge wheels of the carriage were locked firmly, unable to move at all.

Although he knew that his martial arts skills were not very good, Enleco still pulled out the scimitar at his waist.

Although the martial arts that Xilea taught him in a very short period of time in the Shadow Pirates camp did not make him stronger, the scimitar no longer looks so awkward in his hand now.

Enleco waved his arms twice and regained some feeling.

Losing so much blood and not turning into a corpse is already a very lucky thing, but there is still an unavoidable feeling of exhaustion.

But Enleco didn't complain about the forbidden magic that almost killed him.

Although he didn't intend to try the taste of cutting his wrist with a machete again, he was still extremely excited to learn a new powerful forbidden spell.

Now Enleco really feels that he is a Forbidden Curse Mage, an out-and-out Forbidden Curse Mage.

"Marlu, what did you find?" Enleco asked.

"I'm afraid we have encountered the last thing I want to encounter." Mark Lu said solemnly, and he tightened the nail stick in his hand.

"Is it a goblin?" Enleco asked.

"This feeling is terrible, it should be those nasty goblins." Mark Lu said.

As he spoke, he peeked at the horses, apparently he was thinking of running away.

"Give me the heart of reason, it can protect us from harm." Enleco yelled.

This time without the slightest hesitation, the barbarian stuffed the lovely green stone into Enleco's hands.

With the sound of the long mantra chanting, a faint green light enveloped everything around Enleco.

It was completely different from the time he dealt with Drakes. This time, Enleco was not trying to deceive people, but to dispel the influence of spiritual magic.

As the green light enveloped Maklu and the four horses, no matter whether it was the barbarian or the horse pulling the cart, they no longer panicked.

The horses gradually settled down.

"Okay, that's really good." The barbarian grinned excitedly and swung the thick nail stick twice vigorously, showing a high-spirited look.

"Pross, hurry up and teach me this magic, it works better than those chains." The barbarian shouted happily.

Enleco didn't answer Malu, he let go of the brakes, and drove the settled horses forward cautiously.

Although a rational heart can resist spiritual magic, it cannot cope with other forms of attacks.

Now all he can rely on is this strong and powerful barbarian beside him.

Although Enleco can still cast lightning magic, he never thinks that those lightning can be used to deal with high-level magical creatures like goblins.

During the ancient war between gods and demons, goblins and vampires were also the highest level of magical creatures in the demon camp.

Apart from being uncreative, this race is far superior to humans in every respect.

Unlike Enleko, Mark Lu felt that he could not exert all his strength on the carriage. He carried a nail stick and walked beside Enleco's carriage on foot.

After turning over a hill, the town is at the foot of the hill.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Enleco gasped.

I saw countless ferocious beasts gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The clumsy and powerful black bears gathered together and stood on a high slope.

Tigers with colorful stripes are majestic and majestic on the slopes of the hills.

There are also countless jackals and wild dogs scurrying around in the town.

The ground was covered in blood red, and those little beasts were frantically biting the corpses of the livestock.

Horses, cattle, and sheep became their delicacies.

Those black bears and tigers were obviously the first batch of wild beasts to eat, and they were resting leisurely in their fields, basking in the sun.

The appearance of Enleco and the others immediately aroused the vigilance of the beasts, and they all turned their heads to stare at the lonely carriage.

Macluar yelled at the herd.

The war-like roar made even the fiercest beast tremble.

Those ferocious beasts retreated one after another, but immediately they seemed to be driven by an invisible whip, and after trembling for a while, they surrounded again.

The fur on the beast's back was all standing up, and there was a faint green light in their eyes.

The horses pulling the cart started to stir again, instinctively keeping them out of danger.

It is this instinct that gives this animal the ability to run without color.

Mark Lu whimpered and waved the big stick in his hand, he was already planning to fight hard.

To him, these beasts in front of him were just a little more in number, and they were not actually scary.

He can kill a tiger with one blow of his stick.

But Enleco was not so optimistic. Looking at the corpse in the distance, Enleco suddenly had an idea.

He chanted the spell softly and swung his right hand forward.

Suddenly the carcasses of the dead livestock stood up one after another, some with pieces of flesh still hanging from them.

Under the command of Enleco, these things that had already lost their lives launched a frantic attack on the beasts that had just taken their lives.

Perhaps when these livestock were alive, they would never dare to face the beast.

But after losing their lives, they are no longer afraid.

On the contrary, the hearts of those ferocious beasts were filled with fear.

Chickens, ducks, geese, these poultry have no fighting power even if they turn into skeletons, and the same is true for pigs and horses.

But cattle and sheep with horns on their heads are completely different.

The sharp horns penetrated and tore the flesh of the beasts.

Although this injury cannot kill those ferocious beasts, the livestock that have become undead creatures will not lose their lives again. .

The only way to completely destroy them is to rely on the magic of the magician, or burn these corpses to ashes.

But these beasts are not capable of that.

Although the beasts have torn these corpses to pieces countless times, these corpses can always be put together again.

Only the powerful black bear can break the bones apart, but that can only delay the speed at which the undead creatures can be put back together.

What's more, apart from these undead creatures, there is also a strong opponent in front of them.

In this kind of melee, the nail stick in Malu's hand can exert its power the most.

He rounded the stick and swung it vigorously.

With each blow, several corpses of beasts flew far away.

When they fell to the ground, they had joined the ranks of the undead creatures.

Malu waved the big stick in his hand as much as he wanted, and he didn't need to leave room at all.

He has no allies by his side, and he has no sympathy for those undead creatures who have lost their lives but are still able to move.

The smashing of the carcasses of those animals did not disturb him in the slightest.

Malu was fighting to his heart's content, and the big stick he swung in his hand easily took the lives of many beasts.

Suddenly, Malu's body paused, and his expression became extremely dull.

The savage couldn't even hold the nail stick in his hand.

The heavy nail bar flew a long distance and hit the ground heavily.

Those fierce beasts who had been beaten up, saw the most ferocious opponent showing a flaw, and immediately pounced on it viciously.

Although Enleco flicked his fingers again and again, he used scorching lightning to block the attacks of those beasts.

But apart from the lightning knocking down the few beasts rushing forward, the beasts behind were not harmed at all.

Maklu was like a huge loose rock in the flood, and he was washed to the ground at once.

.
