Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 241 Visit
Stannis felt that this dire wolf was a whole size bigger than last time. It repeatedly rubbed its sharp teeth against the living people, trying to fill its hunger with their flesh and blood.

"Why is it so much bigger than the first time we met..."

Batesmore showed a bleak smile. At this moment, the undead who lived for hundreds of years looked so weak, "Because my heart is about to fall into darkness, the beasts that feed on it are getting stronger and stronger. But don't worry , before that day comes, I will complete my revenge, and then find a quiet place to kill myself."

The fear embodied in this guy's heart is a wolf, so what is his own?He closed his eyes and then opened them, only to find that it was his junior high school head teacher standing in front of him impressively.

"..."

Stannis immediately kicked the homeroom teacher out of his mind, thinking he should at least get something serious.

He opened his eyes again, this time there was a faceless fruit girl standing in front of him, this one was very good, not only the body was hot but also the itching was relieved.

"Then let's say what you don't have any suggestions." Stannis continued to ask.

Batesmore shook his head and said that there was no more. He didn't plan to camp, but stared at the ripples on the lake, and fell into deep thought again.

Stannis had no choice but to walk back alone. Beside the long-extinguished bonfire, Bachelor Romond was snoring regularly.

……

As a trainee mage, Midian is very dissatisfied with the position his mentor has arranged for him. For example, he is guarding the gate now...

Although every mage has to be sent to the Academy City for a three-month knowledge expansion before passing the trial of the Magic Tower, and then choose whether to stay and become a bachelor, but in fact it is just a formality, after all, most mages I don't want to be a 'librarian' all my life, but I want to build an immortal legend like countless famous archmages in history, rather than spending my life as a bachelor by the side of some stupid lord.

Therefore, the school city that originally only accepted mages was forced to accept ordinary humans to study under the circumstance that mages were willing to become bachelors, and those small and medium landlords or middle-class citizens were still happy to send their children here to train them as bachelors. , if you can serve as a bachelor of a great noble, it can really be said that the whole family will ascend to the sky in one step.

This is also what makes Midian very upset. As a mage, he was selected by the Templars and sent to the Tower of Magic because of the magic power he possessed since he was a child. Dedicated to the cause of magic without distraction.So he looked down on the men and women who entered the academy city with impure purposes, and felt that they had defiled the thousand-year-old white steps in front of the big library.

Although he doesn't look down on mortals without natural magic like his friend Balmonton the Mole, calling them Muggles-I don't know where the word comes from, but as the wind of magic, he still Born with a sense of superiority, he felt that it was unbearable to stand with those stupid mortals. Perhaps it was for this reason that his teacher sent him to guard the gate.

But when he thought that he would be able to participate in the magic trial of the Magic Tower next month, and then become a real mage, taking off the unpleasant title of trainee, Midian felt that no amount of pain could be endured.He can't wait to become an elementalist, follow in the footsteps of that genius mage 40 years ago, and write his own great legend.

While he was still thinking about it, he didn't realize that there were three people riding horses approaching him at the far end. He didn't return from the fugue until he heard the commotion of the horses.

This group of dusty travelers smelled like horses, and the mage who loved cleanliness couldn't help frowning. What was even more unbearable was that two of them were still wearing primitive weapons like swords. People laugh out loud.

But as a gracious mage, Midian just kept his ridicule on the surface, which made the young man among the three people look very unhappy.

He was just about to ask these three guys what they were doing in the academy city, when a gray-haired old man came out with a smile on his face. From his black robe with iron chains hanging on his face, he was a bachelor, probably another The second son of that ordinary family was sent to the academy city for a few years and then served as a bachelor for the rest of his life to an unknown little lord. He spent his life without any achievements, and he absolutely couldn't waste his time like him.

Midian fell into deep thought again, and the old man asked him, "Excuse me, is the big library open today?"

The young mage nodded, although theoretically he should respect the 'senior', but Midian obviously didn't learn the etiquette lesson well.

The old man thanked him, then joined the two swordsmen behind him and continued walking towards the city.

When he passed by, Midian clearly saw a crutch sticking out of the old man's saddle. He saw a picture of this shape in the collection of illustrations in the book "One Hundred Most Powerful Staffs", and The owner of this staff is...

"That guy's eyes were too presumptuous just now!" Stannis had been trying not to get angry just now. This was the only request that Maester Romond made of him before he came, but the young and vigorous lord obviously couldn't bear this kind of contempt. a feeling of.

"The young people nowadays have not suffered much, and the internship time in the Academy City has been shortened from six months to three months. Please don't be as knowledgeable as them." Bachelor Romon shook his head. Now they are walking in the most lively area of ​​the Academy City. On the main road, there are rows of shops lined up on both sides, and the products placed inside are basically the same...

book.

Stannis had never seen so many books, and among them students in their white and gray apprentice robes selected thick volumes that would serve as shields.

"It's so nostalgic." Bachelor Romon sighed with a smile on his face. The six months he spent here were one of the best moments in his life.

The crowd on both sides of the road stopped in amazement and looked at the three visitors, because generally people wearing swords are very painful to come here. There is no wine and women, and the city with only books is undoubtedly a perfect hell specially created for soldiers. .

Among them, the mages even gave pointers to Bachelor Romon. "One Hundred Most Powerful Staffs" as the best-selling book on the list of "My Favorite Mage Books" is so influential that most The mage is familiar with the staffs recorded in it.

Stannis, who was looking around, found that this place was indeed a concentration camp for bachelors. The ratio of male to female was almost 100:1, so there were a large number of girls behind them, no matter how tall they couldn't pick out the advantages.

The three of them walked straight forward, guided by Bachelor Romon, who was well-versed in their plans, and it seemed that they didn't need to ask other people for directions.

"Old man, why did you ask if the Great Library is open? Shouldn't we go directly to your granddaughter Dana?" Stannis couldn't help asking.

Before coming, Bachelor Romon roughly explained to him the plan of the trip, which was to find his granddaughter and ask her to lead them to the great library to find news about the seal of God.
