The peaceful journey that lasted for several days surprised some people. I had been mentally prepared that I would inevitably have to deal with pursuers along the way. But except for one encounter on the day of the night run, there was no follow-up. Lin
I had an intuition that something had changed. It was Kaya, a careful girl, who deduced the general idea from the clues on the forum.
On the day he left, Shurion was blown up. He was directly killed by a long-range sniper from the Tower of the Great Sage using unreasonable means.
The only academy that I cared about didn't end well. Juan Javier left and broke into the walls of the academy, which caused a chain reaction. The faculty of the academy fell apart, and in the end even the apprentices could no longer stay.
The most tragic thing here is the magician who took over the position of chief purser──Novak.
In the conflict with the great magician Juan, his limbs were cut off. Before he could find the priest and heal his injuries, the academy collapsed, and there was no need for him to go back.
But the matter did not end there. When was the point when the college was essentially disbanded? It was during the semester. That is to say, many people paid tuition, but did not get the full amount they were entitled to as stated in the enrollment contract.
Educational rights.
These people may be willing to admit compensation and bear the losses. How is that possible! What’s more, if you leave school early, after deducting necessary fees, the remaining fees will be refunded in proportion to your time. This is a clause clearly stated in the enrollment contract.
So who will be responsible for this? Let’s not mention that the former purser was purged and left the college. During his time in the college, the funds and accounts belonging to the college were clear. This is not only the faculty within the college
Understand that even if parents who send their children want to know, Lin will disclose it conditionally.
Since the college's funds are no longer in the control of the former chief of affairs, it is normal to find the current one, so these people found the disabled magician Novak...
If it were the old system, what happened to the apprentices, and how many people in the family behind it would dare to trouble the magician. But how many paid apprentices are there in Chengguo Eton College? There are many people from the royal family, some big nobles, some
Other magicians entrusted enlightenment magic. With such a person taking the lead, the largest number of merchant families became involved and became a force that no one could ignore.
Novak, who couldn't run away, wanted to yell that he didn't keep the money for himself. But when he heard that among the people who were sharing the stolen goods, there were people with censor status, all the creditors automatically ignored those who regarded the college funds as
Those who divided the private property only identified Novak to collect debts.
Shurion, whom he regarded as his supporter, died. Due to external pressure, he cut himself off from the family and declared that they had no relationship with him anymore. Even the priest who originally made an appointment to heal the limbs has used various reasons to postpone it and refuses to perform the surgery.
.When Novak realized his current helpless situation, he regretted following the son of a nobleman with great ambition and talent.
It’s not that no one is planning to find trouble with the former purser, hoping that he will come forward to compensate for the money. But the arcane eye of the Tower of the Great Sage is open...
Most people were still half-convinced about Fenitikal's identity as the former Demon King. After all, that person had no actual achievements other than frequently attending aristocratic gatherings in the Five United Cities. So when they heard that she followed that man and left, many people had different opinions.
People with such thoughts want to chase that woman back. But the arcane eye of the Tower of the Great Sage is open...
A magic tower single-handedly prevented the invasion of the abyss, and also defeated a demon king. No matter whether they witnessed it with their own eyes or not, no one could ignore the threat of this tower. Because too many people saw it, there was a possibility of fabrication or rumors. There was almost no sex. It was later confirmed more than once that the tower would actively eliminate threats to the former tower owner.
So when the Arcane Eyes are opened in the Tower of the Great Sage, what is needed is not courage, but an IQ of a stupid level. This kind of person may become a magician, or dare to trouble the former tower owner. It's to take charge of a family. Of course it's impossible. So someone who chooses to leave voluntarily will unexpectedly usher in a wave of peace.
After watching the drama for several days in a row, to be honest, Lin was surprised at how quickly the situation in Wulian City changed. Especially the death of the nobleman who was looking for trouble for him, Shurion, made someone feel infinite. emotion.
Watching someone let out a long sigh, Fen asked: "How? Do you want to go back and get everything that belongs to you?"
"No, there's no point in going back to that place where everything is restricted. Unless they let me go back to the Tower of the Great Sage, but I think that's even more impossible."
Fen shrugged noncommittally and curled his lips. Fen didn't care about where he was going. In front of him was the new pass, which was a checkpoint built by the dwarves in the mountains. It also functioned as a gathering place for the dwarves.
The three roads across the Doomsday Mountains are not only roads, but there is also a natural checkpoint in the mountains that is located at a strategic location and formed by a gathering place of dwarves. In addition to being used as a resting place for travelers, it also serves to protect channels, trade with foreigners, and harvest. Functions such as taxes.
Since it is the main passage connecting the two regions, it is of course impossible for the dwarves to just collect tolls. Countries on both sides of the mountain range have also built checkpoints at the entrance of the passage to collect tolls and taxes from caravans and travelers.
The checkpoints established by the human side are not at the same level as those established by the dwarves in the mountains. Apart from being used as tax customs and as natural gathering places to provide rest for traveling caravans, the human side has not established any A war-grade fortress.
There are historical and practical factors to consider. The Great Migration more than two hundred years ago was only possible because the dwarves opened three mountain roads. Therefore, the countries on both sides of the mountains do not regard the dwarf clans in the mountains as enemies. And if everything is safe, there is certainly no need to build a war-level fortress to defend against the other party.
The dwarves also maintain a minimum level of communication with countries outside the mountains, but do not extend their influence beyond the mountains.
The group of people did not encounter any trouble when passing through the human customs. The soldiers guarding the customs were not at all as arrogant and domineering as they imagined. Everyone went smoothly and obeyed the rules. The money you get will not be less, but you don’t dare to ask for more.
In fact, this kind of customs and customs ecology is a common phenomenon in lost land. There is no reason. In a world that advocates the power of individuals, they think that they can do whatever they want by guarding the city gate. Whenever the iron plate is kicked, their lives will be directly ended.
Those who have the ability not to walk in will not be beaten; those who are willing to walk in and pay taxes according to the rules will sometimes encounter people they cannot afford to offend. I think that I have developed a sharp eye and can easily judge who cannot be offended and who is waiting to be slaughtered. Lamb. If you make a mistake once, your life will be in danger.
Because Midi loves people who uphold justice and is very familiar with the various routines of open and secret investigations. And these people will never give people an open and fair trial. When the road is unfair, drawing swords to kill people is the main theme of Midi.
.So the level of integrity and discipline of the soldiers guarding the customs in various parts of the world is almost equivalent to that of advanced rule-of-law countries on Earth.
Therefore, Lin and his party of four people, one cart, five horses and a mule passed the human side checkpoint smoothly. The truck carrying all the belongings was now pulled by two horses. Except for Halumi,
In the driving position, everyone else was riding a horse and followed slowly behind. Although the mule was not held by a rein, Fen ordered it to follow and did not dare not to follow.
It's just that the mountain roads in the Lost Lands are not as good as those on Earth, and those roads are designed for vehicle traffic. Although the roads in most places have been widened by the dwarves, it is more than enough for a two-person carriage to walk. But there are still many places where even people can climb up
It’s also very difficult, not to mention that trucks have to pass through.
But this was a small difficulty, and it was rare for a group of people to have two magicians in charge. In some relatively simple places, the two apprentices just pulled and pushed, and they went up. On some rugged terrain, Lin used the light object technique with his hands.
With just one push and the levitation technique, I passed without any risk.
So when the heavily armed dwarves guarding the door saw two horses pulling a cart and were about to enter the fortress, the dwarf warriors cheered up and welcomed the group of people.
Generally, when a caravan crosses a mountain range, horses carry the goods, and after reaching the human customs, they switch to vehicles for transport. Even if there are magicians or magic apprentices among the caravan guards, most of them will not assist in transporting the vehicles through those places.
Difficulties on the mountain road. Therefore, being able to pull the cart into the New Pass Fortress shows that there is at least one official magician in this group of people, and they are not just ordinary guards.
Such people can't afford to offend the most, so although the dwarves were on guard, they didn't have much trouble. Lin and others also entered it smoothly.
The scene inside the dwarf fortress is completely different from what Lin imagined. Not all buildings are built to fit the stature of dwarves and are one size smaller. There are still some buildings that are built according to the height of ordinary humans, and of course the objects they serve are not the same.
Same.
Although this place is said to be a war fortress, it has quite complete commercial functions as a transportation hub. People like Lin and others can easily find a small yard with a warehouse for accommodation. Although it is only for large-scale enterprises
It was used by the caravan, but a few people who were not short of money still rented it. The main reason was that they didn’t want to move the things on and off the car, so they could just park it in the warehouse.
The horses and mules have stables where they can rest and eat, and are taken care of by specialized people. The people in charge are not dwarves, but a group of humans hired to work here. In fact, there are also a large number of humans living in this fortress.
, are not all dwarves. Some of them own their own property, and some are employed by others. They may be humans or dwarves. But there is no slave.
Dwarves and elves got rid of slavery quite a long time ago. This included not servitude to other species of Homo sapiens.
Although it was still early, they could not reach the human gathering place on the other side of the mountains before dark, so Lin and others decided to stay here for one night. The beds in the accommodation and the facilities for bathing were not available for a long time.
