After much thought, Heath finally made the choice to postpone returning to the academy and instead accepted the olive branch offered by Campbell to join his team and join the war!
This is what Shuhaizhihui has never said clearly, and what he most expects him to do!
Yes, the Glory of the Sea of Trees has refused him to go back and trapped him in this war-torn place. The fundamental purpose is to hope that he can be involved in this war. The reason for this is also very simple. It is nothing more than hoping that he will use magic.
Using it in war to let these ignorant people know the power of magic is the same as curing the plague. To put it bluntly, it is to promote faith.
If you want him to join the war but refuse to say so, what's the point?
This is quite complicated to explain. To put it simply, the Wizarding Alliance has a set of conventions, which clearly stipulate that no wizarding organization shall intervene in the war between humans without the authorization of the alliance, let alone use magic to participate in the war.
This is the core, the fundamental treaty of the order established by wizards!
The Glory of the Sea of Trees is not the kind of small wizarding organization that can play around with things. As the apparent leader of the Southern Alliance, it aspires to be the maintainer of order in Sky World and its northern neighbors. Of course, it cannot be talked about casually.
So even if it wants to use magic to conquer these barbarians, it must follow the rules and find a way from the rules, so there is a matter of not letting Hiss and the others go back——
The Wizarding Convention has a "Wizard Emergency Evacuation Act", which means that when a wizard is alone outside and is in danger, he can use all means at his disposal to ensure his own safety, including murder, arson, rape, robbery...
Anything is possible, including participating in the war, of course.
Hiss's current situation fully complies with the requirements of the Emergency Evacuation Act. He was involved in a war and used magic to protect himself. He used magic without any scruples. This not only avoided the wizarding convention, but also demonstrated his belief in the powerful output of magic.
Because of this, the Glory of the Sea of Trees repeatedly refused his request to leave the Gray Woodland. The purpose was to push him into a desperate situation, so that he would eventually have to pick up magic to defend himself and invest it.
Go to war.
"I want to be a bitch after setting up a memorial arch. No matter which plane I change, the brain circuits of these superiors are so amazingly similar..."
Having said that, rushing to the battlefield cannot be entirely due to the pressure given by the Glory of the Sea of Trees. It mainly depends on the choices Heath makes himself. Otherwise, he could continue to pretend to be deaf and mute and no one can drag him into the water. From the Glory of the Sea of Trees,
It can be seen from the fact that he has no choice but to take him back...
As for why Heath, who had always been shy, got involved again at this critical moment... He couldn't tell clearly. Maybe it was because he didn't want to go back so early, or maybe it was because of recent events that had changed his mentality.
Don’t you hate the war here? Then go and end it!
Complaining about injustice is the behavior of a coward. Running away is just another cowardly choice. If you don't like it, then try to make it what you like. Anyway...
You have to do something in life,
This life worthwhile!
...
A few days later, the Baihe River Valley went west to the newly built Baihe Fortress.
By the moat.
"Crash!" The crisp sound of running water sounded.
Heath squatted by the river and washed his face with a handful of clear river water. The tiredness on his face could be clearly seen through the reflection in the water.
When marching and fighting, all the time cannot be controlled by oneself. In order to maintain a quantitative practice, Heath can only adjust the rhythm of practice and take out a limited time to make up for it. As time goes by, the body will inevitably become a little tired.
The effort was worth it. He had been ready to go for a long time. With the efforts of the past few days, he finally got the final kick, successfully condensed the seventh character, and officially advanced——
Advanced Apprentice!
Counting the time, it is only a year and seven or eight months since he embarked on the path of wizarding, less than two years. Such a terrifying speed, it is really not too much to call him a genius!
“I wonder what exaggerated expressions Kyle’s guys will have when they know the news?”
Being promoted to an advanced apprentice in less than two years is already worthy of the academy to take credit for his achievements, and at the same time, he sets an example for the apprentices and uses positive publicity. Even if Heath is not currently in the apprentice tower, the academy will definitely not miss the process that it should take.
"How many more little fans will there be? It's a pity that they can't let them see my current heroic appearance and handsomeness... How about I use a photo crystal to record a video next time and send it back... I am both a top student and a school idol.
, Haha, so cool!”
Heath secretly started to moan in his head.
"Master Wizard!" At this moment, a shout rang out. Heath turned his head and saw a knight walking behind him. It was one of Campbell's subordinates, the Knight Soth.
Coming closer, Knight Soth saluted and said, "My lord, Baron, please come over."
There are many barons in the team, but there is only one baron without a subject.
Follow Soth back to the fortress.
There used to be no fortress in the White River Valley, it was just a simple river valley. Until the civil strife in Gray Woodland, this place suddenly became a strategic location, because it is the only way to Gray Castle.
Louis did not set up defenses here before, which led to Isaac burning the war directly under Castle Gray and hanging his head on the city wall. Later, Isaac also had his head hung on the city wall because of the defeat in the White River Valley.
With these two lessons learned, Campbell immediately ordered the reinforcement of the White River Valley's defenses after taking Gray Castle, diverted the river, built city walls, and built a fortress embedded in the mountain wall directly at the mouth of the valley.
A large number of military facilities were built and a comprehensive military defense fortress was built.
At this moment, in the military conference room in the main building of the fortress, Campbell was discussing something with a group of generals. The quarrels and discussions could be clearly heard in the corridor.
"Trap! This must be a trap!"
"Bamke's words are not worthy of belief at all. He is just a villain who doesn't keep his word!"
"But if we can get his army, it will be much easier for us..."
"The wizard is here!"
At this moment, Heath walked into the conference room, and the nobles immediately stopped arguing.
Heath's eyes fell on Campbell inside: "Baron."
Campbell stepped forward, nodded briefly in salute, put his hands behind his back, and asked in a majestic tone: "We have run into a little trouble, Mr. Wizard, can your magic help us?"
Heath asked: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it first."
At Campbell's signal, a general introduced the situation: "Master Wizard, Baron Bamke of Gaopingdi recently sent us a letter expressing his willingness to surrender, but he asked the baron to go to Dusk Crow Ridge for details.
talk..."
From the knight's mouth, Heath learned the whole story.
The main military force currently opposing Campbell is the Baron of High Flats, the same Hyena Baron who followed Isa and had a conflict with Hiss.
After Duke Isaac's defeat last time, he escaped and quickly returned to Gaoping to form a group of troops to block the White River Valley. The confrontation between the two sides basically started before the plague, if it hadn't happened suddenly.
I'm afraid the plague has already started.
The plague delayed for several months, causing Campbell to build a walled fortress on the White River Valley. According to the current scale of defense, it has become very difficult to forcefully break in.
Probably seeing this, Baron Hyena, who took advantage of the situation, recently sent a letter to Campbell expressing his willingness to surrender.
This was a good thing, but Bamke asked Campbell to go to Dusk Crow Ridge for detailed negotiations. It was a mountain ridge not far from here. The terrain was complicated and it was easy to set up an ambush. Once a firefight occurred there, the situation would be extremely disadvantageous.
Coupled with Bamke's consistent character, Campbell and the others were not sure whether they should attend the banquet.
"...The forest there is too dense, and the scouts we sent in didn't find anything inside. That's it, sir." The knight ended his story.
Campbell asked: "Heath, is there any magic that can help us detect whether Dusk Crow Ridge is safe or not, let us know whether Bamke's attitude is sincere, and whether Dusk Crow Ridge prepares for me wine or swords?"
?”
All the generals looked over one after another.
"Well..." Facing everyone's gaze, Heath pondered for a while.
It's really a coincidence. If it had been a few days ago, Heath might not have had any good ideas. After all, the only detection skill he had mastered before was [Walking in the Dust], but that spell's exploration range
It's limited and can't go that far.
However, it is different after being promoted to a senior apprentice. The new runes must have new abilities after being condensed, and now this spell derived from the new rune abilities can solve the current trouble.
Moreover, this is a spell that is famous in the wizarding world...
