William was talking to Tom, not to the three crows. William didn't understand animal language, so how could the three crows understand William's words.
The real order is directly instilled into Wind Crow's mind through the power of witchcraft.
"Animal Companion" is the witchcraft used by William.
William obtained a witchcraft from a descendant of the attendant of the god "Pan". Its effect was to communicate with animals, but the spell could only be cast on one target at a time.
William is just right to use it here.
The wind crow that received William's order cooed at William a few times to indicate that he understood what William meant. Then he called his two companions and began to coo.
The other two crows didn't look happy at first, and kept cooing, accompanied by the sound of violent flapping of wings.
But it didn't take long for the three wind crows to reach a consensus, circle around William and Tom, and then fly away into the distance.
"Look where they flew to?" William said a thought to the magic mirror in his arms.
What William wants is not golden apples, he wants golden apple trees.
Because only by finding the golden apple tree could he find the golden horse and the former golden doll.
Only by finding them will William have the chance to obtain the blood essence of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
"Okay, Master!" The voice of the magic mirror then sounded in William's mind.
William nodded secretly, turned around, and said to the dazed Tom, "Your Majesty, don't you treat me to a cup of hot black tea?"
"Ah...oh...of course, this is my honor, Master Zorro!" Tom finally came back to his senses and said.
Back then, the three crows spent more than half a year helping Tom find the "golden apple" as an engagement token, and almost paid the price with their lives.
But now, there is no need.
After all, they had been there once, and the three wind crows still had some impressions in their minds.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Within a week, the magic mirror informed William that three crows disappeared after entering a garden in a certain country.
Not dead, but gone.
In this situation, both William and Magic Mirror know what is going on?
There is something like a barrier hidden in this garden, blocking the detection of the magic mirror.
The three wind crows, the garden, and the hidden barrier, when these three things are combined, the hidden things in this garden become obvious.
Golden apple tree!
"I said it's no wonder that the magic mirror cost me so much magic power. I searched the entire fairy tale continent and couldn't find the golden apple tree! It turned out that there was a barrier hiding it." William's eyes suddenly flashed with understanding when he knew the news.
, heart way.
But this is normal. Golden apples and golden apple trees are things left over from the age of the gods. If the Holy Light Bishop's Court knew about it, it would definitely be uprooted. Maybe the royal family of this country would be buried in it.
.
William can understand this too.
Although the magic mirror can detect the entire continent, if there is something like a barrier blocking it, the magic mirror cannot detect it.
Just as William was thinking about his next plan, the magic mirror brought a picture into William's mind. It was a picture of three scarred wind crows flying out in panic. Under the three wind crows, there were three
There is a young man with a heroic appearance, blond hair and golden eyes, holding a bow and arrow. Three young men are bending their bows and shooting arrows at three wind crows.
Not far behind the young man, stood an old man who was not angry or intimidating. The old man also had blond hair and golden eyes. He looked at this scene coldly, but did not interfere in it.
The three young men had good archery skills. The three wind crows who refused to leave quickly fell into danger and were almost shot several times. If the three wind crows had not mastered the innate ability of some wind energy particles, this would have been impossible.
The three wind crows had already been killed by three men with blond hair and golden eyes.
William's goal is to find the golden apple tree. Since he has found the golden apple tree, there is no need to put the three wind crows in danger.
William took out the Ruyi cloak from the space of the blue plaid apron and put it on him. At this moment, the former "Light of Justice" Zorro disappeared and was replaced by:
Time traveler, plane shifting mage, Lord of Void Hounds, Shapeshifter, third-level wizard who controls the power of blessings and curses of destiny - William Odyssey!
William looked around the room, and the blank parchment and quill in the corner flew in front of him. The quill stained with black ink, no one was holding it, automatically started sketching on the parchment.
Within a few seconds, the pen stopped and the paper fell.
As soon as William turned around, his body disappeared on the spot, and he came to the territory of the Omus Empire.
The Omus Empire is located in the southeastern part of the continent, and part of its borders are bordered by the regional forces controlled by the Church of the "Lord of Fire and Destruction the Redeemer". Because it is located in a land of four wars, the forces within its territory are complex, and there are many domestic warriors who are brave and good at fighting.
Its national strength ranks among the top three on the mainland.
For some reasons, the relationship between the Nicene family, the controllers of the Omus Empire, and the Holy Light's Holy Court is not so "harmonious". In other words, they are not pious enough to the Lord of Holy Light.
The Eastern Expedition Army organized by the Holy Light Bishop's Court would rather take a long route than go through the Osma Empire and enter the area controlled by the Church of the "Lord of the Redeemer of Fire and Destruction".
The above information is all intelligence collected by the magic mirror from the people in the royal city of Saroka after William appeared in Saroka, the capital of the Omus Empire (local language means the city that does not fall), and then reported to William after integration.
of.
And it only took the magic mirror a few seconds.
Of course, with the ability of the magic mirror, the data collected is not just that. It is like a super computer with a trillion calculation capabilities, and is also loaded with an artificial intelligence program. How can its ability be described as "1+1"?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Saroka is not only the political center of the Omus Empire, but also the economic and cultural center. There are many famous historical wonders, and it also attracts many nobles from the mainland to visit. Therefore, Saroka is also a famous tourist destination on the mainland.
resort.
It is located at the eastern end of the Sabaka Peninsula and the west port of the Mansidu Strait, guarding the entrance to the "White Sea" and is a strategically important location.
The palace of the Nicene family, the family that controls the Omus Empire, is built on a hill facing the sea in the royal city of Sarokana. There are cliffs on both sides and a cliff behind. There is only one passable road in front. It is not so much a palace.
Rather, it is a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The construction of this fortress palace began with the seventh king of the Omus Empire and was not completed until the ninth king. It once had another name, but the eleventh king relied on this palace to block the attack of the noble rebels.
, and defended it until the arrival of reinforcements, and successfully captured the rebel army. After that, the eleventh king named it - Iron Castle, and it has been passed down to this day.
The Iron Castle is intended to be an indestructible royal palace castle.
And William is now on the outskirts of the garden area of Iron Castle. In front of him are three young men with blond hair and golden eyes, shooting arrows at three wind crows in the air.
William could see them, but they couldn't see William. A simple witchcraft of "distorted light" made these people ignore William's existence.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The three wind crows were in danger because they refused to leave and wanted to pick the golden apples for William. Otherwise, as soon as they flew away, the three young men with blond hair and golden eyes, no matter how outstanding their archery skills were, would
He also couldn't shoot the three wind crows.
After William came over, he immediately used the ability of "animal companion" to let the wind crow leave and return to his nest, so that he no longer had to help him find golden apples.
Greed for life and fear of death are the instincts of every animal.
The same is true for the wind crows. They no longer want to be in danger. After receiving the order, they no longer lingered, cooed a few times, and flew away towards the location of the Principality of Loria.
The three young men with blond hair and golden eyes were the only ones left there.
The two young men who looked older had expressions of indignation on their faces, while the youngest young man pursed his lips and looked indifferent.
An old man with the same blond hair and eyes, dressed like a gardener, walked up from behind with heavy steps.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"Father, it's a pity that those three nasty crows ran away!"
Three young men immediately walked up to the old man.
Judging from what they said, these three young men are brothers, and this old man is their father.
The old man stretched out his hand, and the three young men immediately fell silent.
The old man said calmly, "Birds have wings, but we don't. It's normal for them to run away. As long as the golden apples that His Highness asked us to guard are not lost, it will be fine. Remember, our responsibility as gardeners
, is to protect the health of the garden.”
"Yes! Father!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Three young men with blond hair and golden eyes responded.
There was a glimmer in the old man's eyes, and he said appreciatively, "Not bad, I have noticed your performance, not bad!"
Hearing the old man's praise, the three brothers all showed joy on their faces.
The young man with the calmest face coughed, and after attracting the attention of others, he said to the old man, "Father, have you noticed that these three crows look familiar?"
Hearing what his eldest son said, the old man frowned and said, "Galba, what did you remember?"
"Father, we once lost a golden apple. At that time, our two brothers were still young, and it was too dark that night, and we could only see a few birds..." The young man whom the old man called Garba
Said in a deep voice.
"Galba, do you think they were the thieves that night?" The old man's brows were already furrowed into a sea of frowns.
"Yes, father, I feel it's them!" Galba said with a very certain tone.
"Whether it is them or not, it doesn't matter! Golden apples only mature once every ten years. This time the ripe period is coming. We can't make the same mistake as last time. We must not let a golden apple be stolen by those thieves.
Oh! Otherwise, I will have no face to see His Highness the Emperor, who has great trust in me." The old man opened his eyes wide and clenched his fists as he said.
"Yes, father!" the three young men said in unison.
"Okay, let's go back." After the old man said that, he turned around and walked forward.
Three young men followed closely behind.
When he walked to a few trees, part of the old man's body suddenly disappeared. As he continued to move forward, another part of his body also disappeared.
The same thing happened to the old man's three sons when they walked to the place where the old man had disappeared.
"Sure enough, it's the traces of witchcraft - the hidden barrier! Hehehehe, these great nobles!" William, who was watching this scene, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, moved lightly, and came to the old man's position just now.
The concealment barrier can only block other people's sight, but it cannot block the entry and exit of objects.
So William entered the barrier easily.
A large tree with lush branches and leaves stood in front of William, covered with golden apples. The whole tree exuded strong vitality, and was surrounded by lively energy particles.
After just taking a few breaths, William felt a little more comfortable physically and mentally, and his mind became more active.
If you can meditate in this place for a long time, the growth rate of your mental power will increase by at least five levels.
This is what William predicted, and it may actually work better.
Although William's real goal was not the golden apple tree, William was still deeply shocked when he saw this golden apple tree. It was a kind of cleansing deep in his soul.
Of course, this is the reason for meeting for the first time. For example, the father and son with blond hair and golden eyes next to them have long been accustomed to the environment here and have no feeling at all.
The old man went to the small room next to him to rest, while the three brothers were left standing in their own place, guarding the golden apple tree.
According to legend, in the Age of Gods, the golden apple tree was guarded by the three daughters of Night God and a hundred-headed dragon. It was a gift from Gaia, the mother of the earth, to her son Zeus and her daughter Hera for their wedding.
Every fruit produced by the golden apple tree is very precious, like the Queen Mother's flat peach in the oriental mythology of William's previous life. Just smelling it can increase your life span by hundreds of years, and eating it can make you immortal.
The effect of golden apples is not that bad, even a god is not willing to waste it.
Once upon a time, a golden apple caused a protracted war in the mortal world, in which countless heroes fought.
The heroes of the Age of Gods are not small characters like "Zorro" played by William. They are powerful beings whose strength far exceeds that of a fourth-level wizard. The most powerful hero can even kill gods!
Of course, the golden apple tree in front of us is not the first generation golden apple tree back then.
A real golden apple tree, such an ordinary garden, cannot support it, even if the Omus Empire now uses the strength of the entire empire to support this golden apple tree in the garden.
Moreover, the effects of real golden apples are not that simple. They only allow people to obtain the qualifications of a wizard with earth affinity, and they have more powerful effects.
