In the Cannes Mountains, a few frightened geese flew out of the woods, bringing up pieces of unsuspecting birds, which followed them, and the sky was suddenly covered with darkness.
The Cannes Mountains, famous for their strange rocks and cypresses, welcomed a stranger today.
Several hundred meters deep below a mountain stream, on a goat path, there was a knight in heavy armor dragging a fanged rigid mane covered in blood.
"Finally this thing is done!" Locke held his waist and gasped, behind him, tugging was a red-skinned boar close to three meters in size, on both sides of the boar's jaws, there were half-meter-long azure tusks, glowing with cold light.
The boot stomped on the fanged bristle's nose so hard it was almost off, and the fanged bristle still didn't move before Locke was sure he was dead.
Drawing his short dagger from his boot, Locke prepared to cut off the green fangs that signaled his completion of the mission and bring them back with him.
In the northwestern corner of the wizard world, in the central position of the three western islands known as Misia, Dexa, and Ingrid, in the center of the three islands that ordinary people recognized as continents, and that spellcasters and powerful knights regarded as islands, a snow-white, kilometer-high tower stood on the sea level.The white holy tower plunged into the sky, and below the holy tower was a giant forest similar to an ecological garden, which was inhabited by quite a number of terrifying beings with strengths of rank magical beasts and even super rank magical beasts.And these magical beasts that had already reached level one or even level two were just watchdogs for the magicians in the Holy Tower, or just used as experimental materials for them to herd.The bottom of the holy tower itself is a disk-type building, in which there are many magicians coming in and out, the strength is almost all in the high-level apprentices, which is also mixed wi
The middle-aged magician first froze, then revealed an amused expression, took a look at the black raven, and with a lift of his sleeve, a dark yellow crystal appeared.Tossed it to the black raven as he eyed it.Only a black shadow was seen crossing over, and the yellow crystals had already fallen into the crow's belly.Burping, the black raven got a bargain and didn't forget to comment, "The taste of earth system crystals is just astringent, not as tasty as water system ones."The middle-aged wizard ignored it as he waited for the raven to tell him the news.If the message wasn't worth a single High Crystal, he might have an extra pen made of crow's hair on his desktop.The black raven obviously knew the rules and didn't keep the middle-aged magician waiting for long before revealing the information he had inquired about."Lord Odyssey is already gathering men." Raven said mysteriously, looking down."Why? Doesn't Lord Odyssey need t
Walking out into the noisy lobby of the mission, Locke walked straight to a front desk off to the side.Most of the knights here were still checking the list of quests, and those who turned in quests like Locke were few and far between.The academy's quests were not set in stone and simple, behind almost every quest, there were dangers that could occur in one way or another, such as the fanged bristling mane that Locke had slaughtered a few months ago, which would have been difficult to deal with by a mid-ranked squire, if not for the fact that he was equipped with a sturdy and heavy armor and a sharp longsword.The receptionist who received Locke was considered Locke's 'acquaintance', and Locke's mission processing and completion rewards in recent months were all handled by this person.Giving Locke a smile, and without much greeting, the staff member took one of the packages Locke handed him and began to inspect it.Inside the package were three starg
A month later, a horse-drawn wagon was traveling on the John Thurston trail."This isn't the mission you were talking about in the first place!" Locke looked helplessly at Irene, who was sitting across from him."Please please please!" The woman, Irene, surprised Locke by being cute, "I had no choice but to look for you."Locke rolled his eyes.It turns out that there wasn't any Phyllis Collar Mining Cave Survey quest, or there was, but that doesn't matter now.Because the two are now on one mission, and that is to help Aileen avoid this blind date.Not bad, just a blind date.Irene came from John Thurston, a small southeastern province of the O'Moore Empire, where the family's grandfather was said to have been a local viscount of real power, but hadn't fallen off over the years.By her father's generation, he had only received a baronial title, and his territory was even more limited to a few small towns and a town that was barely con
A group of people came and went in great numbers.Aside from Irene's parents and uncle's family, the remaining people were almost all distant relatives who lived dependent on both of their families, whether in the Kingdom of Faustian or in the O'Moore Empire, defecting to noble relatives to make a living was a very common thing.Several servants took over the luggage in Locke's hands, which, inside the luggage, in addition to Aileen and his personal belongings, there are two people 'joint venture' to buy gifts for loved ones, Locke, after all, is the first time to meet the 'female parent', not to bring something is not appropriate.Irene's parents acted pleased with Locke's purchase of the gift, and nowadays there aren't many people like him, who know how to talk politely and with class.Rock how to understand what temperament ah, this is he and Angelina and Grace and other people day after day under the influence of subtle, not to mention, at least after arr
Viscount Simak was not like Baron Bissell and the others, who had never seen much of the world; these countryside nobles might not care about noble etiquette, but it was not the same if they came from a big place.Every word, every act, even every expression is strictly planned.From the time Locke stood up, to striding over, to extending his right hand, Viscount Simak did not see that Locke bore the slightest trace of nobility.Also up to the time when Locke extended his hand, Viscount Simak suddenly asked such a very rude question.Viscount Simak's words chilled the scene.Locke's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the unimpressive Viscount Simak in front of him."Why, don't you want to check?" Locke suddenly laughed."I was just expressing my suspicions." Viscount Simak said calmly without a hint of aggressiveness, but this calmness caused the surrounding nobles to feel a chill."This is my academy badge." A ring-shaped medallio
The next day, refusing the offer of Irene's parents to send them a militia, the two rode to the neighboring territory of Felice.That Viscount Simak and his son, whom Locke hadn't seen since the banquet ended last night, were supposed to have left, and Irene's request for his help in blocking the gun this time was sort of resolved, and now they were going to go and complete the Academy's trial mission.Unlike the long white dress attire from yesterday's banquet, today Irene was the same as Locke, with the same half-body armor on the outside, a longsword hanging from her waist, and stepping on iron boots.The physical strength of a knight squire was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, don't look at Irene as a woman, now that she was wearing at least twenty pounds of half-locked armor, she was equally unbelievably relaxed, this was a sudden change in style compared to yesterday's appearance of a delicate beauty.Locke had also seen Rafi often swap be
The fight at the waterhole was continuing, and half an hourglass of time had passed.Behind the boulder, Locke's eyes were fixed on the fight not far away, only to see that the humanoid creature's body was now covered in scratches, and green blood oozed out of his ragged clothes.Although it was not caught by the giant crocodile, but it is inevitable in the dodge with the giant crocodile scales and armor and water pool side of the sharp stones collision, but this is compared to the giant crocodile caught has been the best ending, if the giant crocodile caught believe that its small body will be instantly torn apart and swallowed.However, the giant crocodile seemed to have had enough of this humanoid creature provoking it, only to see it landing on the ground with one paw, the giant kiss close to two-thirds of its body length opened, a light blue gas converged in its mouth, and the surrounding temperature dropped a little, and finally the light blue gas condensed i
Princeton was big, and exactly how big it was was evident by the fact that it housed nearly four million inhabitants in a single city, equal to the total population of two Faustian kingdoms.So the incident of the convergence of high-ranking knights that happened in the northeast city had little or no effect on the people of the entire imperial capital.The Royal Academy's campus was relatively cold today, one was that the vacation hadn't ended yet and the students were still busy with their trial quests, and the other was that call-up order issued by the Knight's Hall.The Imperial Royal Academy had a total of six branches, and the Knight branch accounted for four of them, and the Magician branch only had two, so in the school, most of them were still knights in the majority.If one were to ask what place in Princeton had the most high-ranking squires, it would probably have to be the Imperial Royal Academy, in addition to the branch of the Knight's Hall.
Sifi was a first class knight of the Sia family, the Sia family and the royal family were all together, so it made sense to stay, and as for why Marquis Sandru chose to stay as well, it was mostly because he was old and didn't want to get involved in the Otherworldly War.You know, even with the care of the second level Earth Knight Roma Knight, the Otherworldly War is still very treacherous, and every Knight who goes out to battle will sign a will to the Knight's Hall as a custodian before he leaves his home position.The conversation between King Faustian and the Knight of Roma lasted until late at night.The Rom Knights, with their great strength and bodies, were fine with just not eating or drinking for a month, but King Faustian couldn't even afford the lack of sleep.At Princess Kent's urging, King Faustian moved to his bedroom to rest.This woman who was beautiful enough to be the late King of Faustian, ever since she married into Faustian, she d
The meeting on the 436th floor of the Holy Tower had already ended, and after the ten or so third level Grand Magicians exchanged and communicated their thoughts, the black-robed elder announced that the meeting was adjourned.The chirping raven from the last meeting did not show up this time, and its owner, the faceless wizard named Joss, did not show up this time either."When another few decades pass, old friends will come back again ah!" A Third Grade Grand Magician sighed as he walked out."Yeah, and several more third level magicians were sent a year ago, even that guy from Undisguised Mask went there!" A magician who went with him interjected."I think it's to save Michelle, who I'm told seems to have been struck by a centaur royalty.""With that guy around, Michelle's safe return isn't a problem!"These two magicians' words were mostly words of care for Michelle, and it seemed that this magician was well-liked in the Holy Tower.As f
Unconsciously, it was already the fourth year that Locke came to the O'Moore Empire, on the day of the New Year, the house was very lively, not only did a large number of classmates and friends from the academy come, but there were also a number of Faustian nobles who came to the door to visit.After all this time, everyone knows the fact that Angelina is Princess Faustian.The others were fine, Chris and Bob, the two knights who had been on many missions with them, spoke to Locke with envy and jealousy.To most people, a princess of a small country was not much worse than the daughter of a count's family in the Empire.In addition to the door-to-door congratulations, Locke and the boys themselves have made this New Year, quite a red-hot one.For Locke, the arrival of the New Year simply means that he has grown another year, 24 years old Locke is already old enough. 20 years old Angelina has also reached the age when she should be talking about marriage
The matter of Angelina's promotion was completed in the magician branch of the Royal Academy of Princeton, and all Locke knew was just a date, and the specifics were all handled by that master teacher.The favorable inventory of a full-fledged magician was not something that Locke, who had just been promoted to a high-ranked squire, could imagine.In short, without a hint of danger or any accidents, when Angelina reappeared in front of Locke, she was already a middle-ranked magic apprentice holding a white magic staff.In addition to the white magic staff, there is also a golden magician robe, these are all gifted to Angelina by that master ancestor, not to mention other things, just the head of the magic staff, that is the size of a fist of magic crystals, so that Locke was amazed to the point of no return."Would it be too flashy for you to use a crystal core of this level right now?" Locke pulled Angelina's sleeve and asked quietly, now on the campus of Pr
The Knights Templar's branch temple in Princeton is located on Constantine Avenue in the northeast quadrant of town.It's a place Rock rarely ventures into, so it's no wonder he didn't even notice the Knight's Templar sign before.He was here today to report for duty and, incidentally, to collect his benefits for the month.The Knight's Templar was really a big family, and Rock hadn't even done anything yet to receive a free copy of the monthly routine that was worth a lot of money, and it was evident why those knights broke their heads to enter the Knight's Templar as well.Entertaining Locke, who was his only acquaintance Sith, "Come here." The Sith led Locke, in this great hall, left and right.This sub-temple, a stronghold of the Knight Templar specifically set up in Princeton, with Princeton as the center point, radiating in all directions, in addition to the knights of the imperial capital, the members of the Knight Templar of the surrounding seve
Princeton Royal Academy's mission hall, Locke, who had been recuperating for half a month long, once again appeared here.He's here today to turn in his assignment."Knight Locke, please follow me!" The staff member in charge of entertaining Locke brought Locke to a certain room on the second floor of the quest hall.Locke had only come up to the second floor of the quest hall once, and that was back when he had dipped into Joaquin's light and came here to pick the trial quest to destroy the ghosts.Nowadays, Locke was already a high-ranking attendant, his own strength and the treatment he should be subjected to were greatly enhanced, and this kind of second-floor private room with unique privileges could only be enjoyed by a high-ranking attendant like him.In the quest hall, although there were a lot of knights who came in and out to receive quests and pay for completions, there were only a handful of people who had reached the same level as Locke, a
A week had passed since Locke had been promoted to become a high-ranking squire.The damage to the organism caused by the breakthrough had mostly healed over the course of the week.Not one to be idle, Locke intended to get out of bed and walk the day after he sobered up, but was held down by Angelina and the others, who wouldn't let him move.Rock, who will be turning 24 soon in the New Year, surprisingly enjoyed a rare moment of snuggling in his mother's arms as a child.Angelina, Grace, Shashi, Leah took turns, there is no time when Locke stayed alone, even Christine, the little girl, also forked over in front of Locke's bed, urging him to drink the medicine, it really makes Locke laugh and cry.The news of Locke's breakthrough to high ranked squire, spread quickly in his circle of friends, Joaquin and Billie and other women have come to visit him these days, as well as Henry, Raphael and others, high ranked squire Locke, among them all, when it is a
Locke inside the cultivation room was covered in white gas, the Eagle Fighting Qi had been running wildly over and over again, but there was still no sound of a breakthrough coming from the cocoon.On the table in front of him, the things that were originally set out were gone, and there were a few wooden boxes and test tubes scattered randomly on the floor, vaguely visible as boxes containing items such as Blood Essence and Crimson Potion.At this moment, three hours had passed since Locke entered the cultivation room.An invisible shackle imprisoned Locke's entire body, no matter how fierce the Eagle Fighting Qi in his body was, it just couldn't rush through, just like a moat.Blood marks had slowly appeared around his body, and his veins bulged, which was caused by the pressure in his blood being too great to withstand the wild and chaotic Eagle Fighting Qi.It's also possible that the side effects of the langoliers were responsible for the fact that
