The flying speed granted by Chengxing is not very fast. Compared to Shyvana's flying speed when she flaps her wings, it is as slow as a turtle crawling.
But it performs very well in short-distance movement and is very flexible.
What is precious is that this ability to stay in the air greatly enriches Chai Anping's room for movement.
At noon the next day, Gerald arrived as expected. Chai Anping tested his magical ability and judgment. It was unrealistic to directly use him to hold important positions in Demacia's mage army.
This young man is full of courage and courage, but he also has a lot to learn. At the very least, he has to integrate himself into the Demacian community.
Chai Anping borrowed Rodney from Tiana and gave Gerald to him to polish.
Of course, this is because Rodney himself was assigned to help with this recruitment drive.
This is the real test that Gerrard will face. After the conscription is over, Rodney will be able to give an accurate score on his abilities.
Chai Anping will not be stingy in any position he can take on.
In addition to Gerald, he also set his sights on several potential talents in the capital. These were the lists that Lux quietly handed him with the convenience of the registration office.
All mages get better and better as they get older, and their abilities become stronger with time, but a new army cannot let these old fools lead to a wrong trend.
The first thing that must be emphasized is that most of the soldiers must be young people, otherwise Chai Anping will not know who he is spending resources on training his subordinates.
But the management doesn't need to worry so much. Chai Anping covets those magicians who are smooth and sophisticated.
Some of them were even hidden in the capital without being discovered until the ban on magic was abolished!
Starting today, this time the nationwide recruitment screening has officially begun. With Tiana’s help in all aspects, the local registration efficiency is not much lower than that in the capital. I even heard that there is a local registration office due to crowding.
As a result, the entire platform collapsed.
Because only one hundred and fifty people are recruited, the recruitment requirements this time are unprecedentedly strict, and all abilities are selected to the best of the best.
Demacia's decades of heritage are there. This recruitment ceremony is like a volcano suddenly detonating. Those unwilling young people flock in. Every day, some people try to block outside Chai Anping Manor, hoping to be received.
.
The noise made Chai Anping extremely annoyed.
In addition to recruiting personnel, Chai Anping also failed to prepare supplies. With the help of Sir William, he established an alchemy workshop, which not only produced medicines himself, but also issued orders to the outside world.
Under the money offensive, many poor alchemists have come to invest. As long as the energy source continues to provide them with alchemy materials to increase their proficiency, it is not a problem for them to call them daddy.
Seeing that the two important preparations for forming an army were on the right track, Chai Anping didn't want to be troubled by these mundane affairs anymore, and directly left all these tasks to Rodney. If Lux hadn't stopped him, maybe
This self-employed bodyguard of the Marshal's Mansion had to fight him in a duel.
After putting down his burden, Chai Anping began to plan the northward journey he had promised to Lux.
Due to the busy schedule these days, this plan has been postponed for several days. Although Lux was considerate and never mentioned it at all, Chai Anping was very excited.
——The north is mountainous and has many famous hot springs!
I understand everything!
Speaking of which? Chai Anping always felt as if he had overlooked something...
"correct!"
He slapped his forehead and finally remembered what he had missed.
——Yuna and Ike!
After arriving in Demacia, did these two guests from afar stay at his manor? But because they needed to learn Demacia's technology and teach the craftsmen how to use and repair mechas, so
The two often slept directly in the workshop area and were very dedicated.
For a while now, people were coming to the manor to block the door every day, and even Lux didn't come very often? Let alone the two of them.
"Working so strenuously every day... Do you want to give them both a holiday?"
He rubbed his chin and muttered to himself: "If they are willing, the journey north can take them to enjoy the snowy scenery of Demacia? There is no winter in Piltover."
After all? He is not a devil capitalist.
…
Demacia is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and most of its territory is plain. To the west, there is also hot and humid air sent from the ocean from time to time, so it is very suitable for growing crops.
There are many hills and mountains to the south of the Owendale Mountains in the north? For example, Mithril City is a mountain city located in the north.
Chai Anping carefully planned the route on the map? The first thing to avoid was Mithril City... He didn't want a pleasant trip to turn into a suicidal charge straight into the enemy camp.
But Mithril City is indeed a beautiful mountain city. He has seen it in the official background? He has also seen related art albums after coming here.
It was a city built on a giant white rock, with an equally pure white palace built on top of the rock? That belonged to the Crownguard family.
Relying on the veins of the giant rocks, paths connect the houses built on the mountain.
On the back of the giant rock, the sculptors spent decades carving a magnificent statue hundreds of feet high. It was a warrior wearing armor!
It symbolizes the ancestors of the Crown Guard family who protect the royal family!
From Lux's mouth, he could often hear descriptions of Mithril City. For example, under the white rocks is a vast, clear lake, where the rivers flowing from the Owendale Mountains gather. Every morning,
Under the sunshine, the lake is covered with golden orange.
The gushing river water will eventually overflow the river embankment, and then slope down from the pure white bridge hole, forming a spectacular and magnificent waterfall.
When Lux was a child, she loved to take a boat ride in the lake, and Galen would sit on the stern of the boat and help her row the boat.
This place belongs to the city that Chai Anping decided to visit again with Lux in the future.
But not this time!
He silently looked away from the name "Mithril City" on the map.
There is another place in the north that he is familiar with, which is "Forsbarrow", where nightmare infestations have occurred in the past.
"Forsbarrow and Mithril City are actually quite close..."
"When I think about it, the name of this place comes from 'Forsbyro Crownguard'. Members of the Crownguard family once sheltered this place."
Compared to Mithril City, Forsbarrow is just a small town. It attracts attention because of the nightmares that haunt it.
Both places were in the northwest of Xiongdu, so Chai Anping planned the travel route directly to the east. As long as there were suitable hot springs that couples could bathe in together... He actually didn't care about the scenery of the journey.
