Master Tongtian

Starting from Baima Town, we went south along the Hanshui River, passing through three villages, passing through the Whistling Valley, and then over Mianlong Mountain before entering the Huangshui Highlands.

Silver Moon Castle is located at the highest point of Huangshui Highlands and is the highest city in the North.

Charbolet and Rosen walked one behind the other on a path paved with red gravel. They each held a roasted, shiny and brown rabbit in their hands and chatted while eating.

‘Gazigazi~gudu~’

Xia Bolay chewed up the rabbit bones and meat in his mouth and swallowed them in one gulp.

"Rosen, I have told you everything about Silver Moon Castle these days. Do you remember it well?"

Rosen also said with a mouth full of oil: "Don't worry, uncle, I have already engraved it in my mind. I can't forget it even if I want to."

Xia Bolai was worried: "I want to test you."

"Just ask."

"Then let me ask you, what is the emblem of Silver Moon Castle?"

"The full moon is guarded by six stars. The full moon represents Silver Moon Castle, and the stars represent the six towns distributed on the Huangshui Highlands."

"Very good. What is the full name of the owner of Silver Moon Castle? And how should he be called?"

"Sophia de Omicia. In formal occasions, she is called Count Omicia, or Lady Omicia, the Great Moon Magician.

"In informal situations, you can call her Ms. Omicia or Mrs. Silver Moon. If it is a private situation and the relationship is close, you can call her by her first name, which is Sophia. If the relationship is not close enough, you can call her Madam."

Xia Bolai nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Let me ask you again, what are the taboos in Silver Moon City?"

"A curfew is imposed on the full moon day of each month. It is strictly forbidden to go out when the sun sets. Even at home, people are not allowed to make loud noises. Violators must pay a high fine of 1 crown and endure a 10-day silence spell."

"Well, you remember it in great detail. Do you know why there's a curfew?"

"Because Silver Moon Castle respects the moon."

"Whether you are a mage or a warrior, meditating on the moon on a full moon day will have the best effect on increasing your strength."

"And the people of Silver Moon Castle also need to perform moon worship rituals to purify their souls, strengthen their bodies, and fight against the evil creatures hidden in the darkness."

By this time, Chabolai had finished eating a whole rabbit. He wiped the grease around his mouth with his sleeve, then took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it to Rosen.

"There are 10 kronor in it. Keep it away and don't let anyone see it."

"Uncle, why do you want to give me money?"

Xia Bolay tightened the package on his back, raised his hand to put a shade curtain on his brow, and looked up into the distance.

"In half a day, we can get to Silver Moon Castle. When we get there, I have to report to my wife. I have a lot of things to do after that, and I don't have time to take care of you. During this period, you have to rely on yourself."

Rosen pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to introduce me to Madam as an apprentice?"

In fact, he had never thought about becoming the apprentice of the Great Moon Magician, and after knowing the basic situation of Silver Moon Castle, he gave up the last trace of fantasy in his heart.

Now it is just used as a bargaining chip.

Chabolai nodded slightly embarrassed.

"Yes, I said that. But Madam is not only a Great Moon Magician, but also the Lord of a city. She has so many things to do, how can she have time to teach you personally?"

"Besides, I can't influence Madam's thoughts. I only promise to introduce you to her. As for how Madam will arrange for you, it depends on your own performance."

After a pause, Xia Bolay seemed to feel that he had broken his promise, so he began to explain again.

"Rosen, you have to understand that Madam has amazing achievements in magic and is one of the few magic masters in the North."

"There are countless people who want to learn magic from her. It is a rare honor to get just one word of advice from Madam."

"And to become her apprentice, even if it is just a registered apprentice, there will be countless people competing for your head, including many rare magic geniuses. Do you understand?"

Rosen nodded to express his understanding: "In other words, madam, there is no shortage of apprentices, and the competition is extremely fierce?"

‘Pah~’

Chabolai snapped his fingers: "Yes, that's it. Then do you know what to do?"

Rosen thought for a moment and said, "Try your best to express yourself and win Madam's approval?"

‘Hmph~’

A slightly nasal laugh burst out of Chabolai's mouth, as if he had heard something funny.

Obviously, Rosen answered wrongly.

He added: "Honestly, accept all arrangements made by Madam, resolutely not cause trouble to Madam, and do my best wherever I can?"

Xia Bolai nodded: "Yes!"

He turned around, tapped Rosen on the shoulder, and looked directly into his eyes.

"Rosen, Madam's time is very precious!"

"Especially during this extraordinary period, every word and every decision she makes will affect the fate of many ordinary people.

"Don't add extra trouble to her, that's the best thing you can do right now."

"Extraordinary times?" Rosen caught a special word.

Xia Bolai grinned: "Every two hundred years, the barbarian races from the land of ice and snow and the volcanic plateau will form a powerful alliance of ice and fire.

"They will hit the Cold Wind Valley like a torrent. If they break through the fortress in the valley, they will wash away the entire Golden Land like a flood. Hey, that would be very... very scary."

As he spoke, Chabolai was smiling, but his smile was cold, and his big eyes revealed a strange light.

Just like a soldier preparing to go to the battlefield, there is excitement and fear.

Rosen was also silent, sighing secretly in his heart.

"It's okay to live in troubled times. In my previous life, I lived in a prosperous age. Although it was peaceful, it lacked passion. Now that I have made up my mind to learn magic in this life, when I finish learning it, I will have fun on the battlefield."

Chapollet was not a sentimental person, and he soon returned to normal and continued to stride forward.

A half-day's journey would kill a person on earth, but in this world it is the norm. Rosen has experienced it, and every muscle in his legs is hard and very strong.

After walking for many days, not only am I not tired, but I am also in high spirits, and I have even grown a little taller.

Half a day later, the outline of a city appeared on the yellow and green highland skyline.

The city was built on a gentle slope, and the buildings in the city were made of stone, wood, and earth. The further you go to the top of the slope, the more magnificent the buildings become. The further you go to the bottom of the slope, the simpler the buildings become. Until you reach the bottom of the slope, it becomes a large area of ​​simple thatched huts scattered among the farmland.

There are two most eye-catching things in the city.

One is a river that passes through the top of the slope. The water is filled with sediment and is yellow. It flows all the way down through the city, like a golden sword, splitting the city in half.

The other one is somewhat familiar, that is, an obelisk that is always illuminated by the sun.

This monument is larger than that of White Stone Castle, and the golden light pillar is thicker than that of White Stone Castle. It is like a holy sword stuck in the ground.

Seeing Rosen looking at the beam of light, Chabolai said something similar to Cyrus: "That is a stone given by God, which represents God's recognition of the authority of the Omicia family."

"Hmm~ There's also one next to Baron Morey's White Stone Castle."

"Yes, the Morey family is also a divinely authorized authority."

Xia Bolay's tone was a little complicated, seeming to be reverent, but also a little emotional.

Rosen asked: "Uncle, what kind of existence is the Golden God?"

But Xia Bolay shook his head: "How can we, mortals, talk about gods?"

"What impression does that make in your eyes?"

"In my eyes?"

Chabolai fell into thought.

After a long time, he spoke: "In my eyes, God is the supreme existence and the guardian of the Golden Land."

"You can't see the true God in the mortal world, but you can see the Son of God. Each Son of God possesses supreme majesty and power. In short, they are existences that cannot be defied."

"Where is the Son of God?"

“There are quite a few in the North, and the most powerful of them is the Guardian of the North, the Master of Winter City, the Duke of Ice, the Silent One, the Just One, the holder of the Divine Sword Winter Sun, Lord Saint Hyperion. "

"What a long title."

Xia Bolay shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This prefix is ​​considered short. His Majesty the God-Emperor's prefix is ​​so long that I can't finish it in three pages."

The two of them talked as they walked, and before they knew it, they had finished the rest of the journey, and the gate of Silver Moon Castle was right in front of them.

Rosen felt that Chabolai became obviously serious and seemed a little nervous.

"Rosen, do you remember what I taught you?"

"Uncle, you have asked me so many times!"

"I'm going to meet my wife later, so be sure not to let your guard down!"

"I got it!"

"Recite the various titles of Madam again."

"Uncle, are you annoyed?!"

"Hoo~~~ho~~~"

Chapollet breathed heavily.

"You kid really doesn't know the heights of the world. You don't know the wisdom and majesty of the Great Moon Magician at all. She can see into your heart at a glance. Do you know?!"

At the gate of the city, Chabolai stopped and began to arrange his clothes carefully, but he was still not satisfied no matter how he arranged them.

Finally, he gave up and took Rosen's hand and walked towards the tailor shop in the city.

"This suit is too dirty. We need to find a tailor to make a new suit."

"By the way, I need to take a good bath, rub all the mud off my body, and put some bath scent on it. Madam is the most clean person, so her eyes must not be dirty."

"." Rosen was speechless.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Madam's time is very precious, everything must be arranged in advance."

"When I get to the hotel later, I have to hand over the greeting card quickly so that I can receive the summons as soon as possible."

"I hope Madam has forgiven me for my mistakes. I hope so."

Along the way, Chabolai chattered endlessly, like a young daughter-in-law who was about to meet her parents-in-law.
