Chapter 30 Wheat City (seeking follow-up reading)
"Ural will be our guide on this trip. He organized a team to go to Yoel City a few days ago, but almost the entire army was wiped out on the way. In the end, he was the only one who escaped by chance." Ural heard
. Yan nodded and said with lingering fear:
"Now for some reason, ferocious beasts are rioting in Fangorn Forest, and weird things happen frequently. We solved several crises last time, and finally ended up in Fangorn Forest."
After establishing the route for this trip , Finally, Yihua and his party decided to leave the academy.
First go to a nearby city to buy the supplies you need on the way.
Reg led five tall horses in the corner that were completely black and had fangs and scales.
Seeing Yi Hua's curious eyes, Anna patiently explained to Yi Hua:
"This is a first-class high-energy biological magic mane horse. It is said to have the blood of nightmares. Because of its relatively docile personality, it is an exclusive mount for the academy wizards."
Reg, a strong man in gray robe, nodded when he heard this, perhaps intending to win over Yihua, and added:
"The magic mane horse has a strong physique, so there is no need to transfer additional horses. If everything goes well, this trip to Youle City will It only takes a week to go back and forth."
The magic mane horse is two meters tall, and ordinary people cannot even get on the horse without using a horse stool.
Yi Hua naturally had no experience in riding horses, but that did not prevent the original owner, who was born into a noble family, from owning it.
With the help of a strong physique at the level of a great knight, Yihua jumped up on the spot and climbed onto the horse's back, which was more than two meters high.
Neigh~
The magic-maned horse neighed in displeasure, and suddenly raised its front hooves, erupting with a powerful force close to the level of a knight, trying to throw Yihua off the horse.
However, how could the knight-level power be able to do anything to the great knight-level Yi Hua? His legs were like brown sugar, clamping the horse's back with all his strength.
After the magic mane horse tried to get rid of Yihua several times to no avail, it felt that Yihua was not easy to mess with and had no choice but to lower its proud head.
The area of the college is not large, similar to that of a small town in the previous life.
Several people rode magic mane horses, and within a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the boundary of the academy.
Although it is a border, what comes into view is not a city wall or a fence, but a huge stone monument.
The stone tablet is ten meters high. It is engraved with complex witchcraft runes and exudes a faint blue light.
"We've arrived at the boundary monument, everyone, please slow down."
Seeing the huge stone monument in front of him, Reg had a cautious look in his eyes and raised his hand to signal everyone to slow down.
The entire Nine Rings White Tower Wizard Academy is shrouded in a huge defensive formation.
The boundary monument is the node of this formation. It is said that there are 107 formation nodes similar to this boundary monument.
The badges on the apprentices are the passport to this giant witchcraft formation. Each badge is bound to the identity of the apprentice and is recorded in the core of the formation.
The core of the formation is the college tower located in the center of the college.
The array will not only identify the authenticity of the badge, but also compare the badge binding information with the wearer.
It is said that once there is a mismatch in information, the witch formation will rain down terrifying thunder.
The information of apprentices who leave the academy or die will be cleared from the core of the formation, and the corresponding badges will also become invalid.
A group of people rode horses and lined up one by one.
The person walking at the front was Reg. Just as he crossed the boundary marker, a faint blue light swept over him without any abnormalities.
When it was Yihua's turn to pass through, the moment the blue light swept across, Yihua's hair stood on end, and there was a faint feeling of danger.
Fortunately, perhaps due to the fusion of the souls of Yihua and the original owner, or for other reasons, the formation seemed unable to recognize the difference in the souls of Yihua and the original owner.
After the group of people passed safely, Yihua followed the fluctuations of blue light and faintly saw the translucent dome extending to the sky.
This is the first time Yihua has left the academy since time travel.
The original owner rarely left the academy in his memory. He mostly worked part-time in the academy or performed tasks assigned by his instructor.
Looking at the wildly growing primitive jungle along the way, Yihua, who had lived in a steel jungle for nearly thirty years in his previous life, felt a sense of freshness in his eyes.
Following the guidance of the road signs, the group walked along the main road towards the nearest Maisui City.
Relying on the powerful physique of the magic mane horse, the primitive jungle along the way passed by in a flash and soon turned into an endless plain.
On both sides of the road are stretches of green wheat fields, as well as huts standing in the wheat fields. This is cultivated land outside the city.
Summer has just arrived, and the wheat will not turn golden until autumn.
Arriving here means that we are not far from the nearest Maisui City.
As time passed, carriages and pedestrians began to appear sparsely on the road.
After seeing the wizard badges on everyone's bodies, without exception, they all stopped, lowered their heads, and stood on the roadside with an awe-inspiring look.
The majesty of wizards, especially near this wizard academy that has stood for hundreds of years, has long been deeply rooted in the bones of mortals and has become an instinct.
After a while, a city gate with the word "Wheat" engraved in the mortal script of the Star Tree Islands appeared in front of them.
There are no tall walls or well-ordered cities as imagined.
What comes into view is a low khaki-colored city wall that is about five or six meters in height and less than two stories high.
Looking from a distance, the city is a dirty and smelly street with feces dumped along the street.
At the gate of the city, there were a few idle guards yawning.
Although it looks unremarkable, according to the fluctuations of life energy that Yi Hua can faintly feel.
Several guards have at least the physical fitness of a trainee knight, and can easily knock down three or five strong and mature men with their bare hands.
At the city gate, the group was not inspected.
Under the diligent leadership of the guards guarding the city, several people rode horses past the queue waiting for inspection in front of the city gate and entered the city directly.
After entering the city, the leader, Reg, casually said to the people behind him:
"Let's go to the trading house in the city to exchange some gold coins."
Along the way, there were few other wizard apprentices.
Although this city is relatively close to the college, its resources are scarce.
Only occasionally wizards pass by here, and few wizards stay here for a long time.
Most of the non-academic wild wizards on the island are those who have escaped from the academy, and they will not run to the nearest gathering place of mortals from the academy without opening their eyes.
Yi Hua casually looked at the civilians in the city who looked at the group of people in awe and hurriedly avoided them.
I saw that most of the civilians in the city were sallow and thin. Although their clothes were not full of dirt, they still showed signs of being mended and starched many times and turned white.
The pupils of different colors hide the confusion of not seeing hope for the future, and the worry of running for life.
Seeing the difficult life of mortals, an inexplicable color flashed in Yihua's amber eyes.
After a while, a three-story stone lobby appeared in front of everyone, with the words "Maisui Trading Company" engraved on the roof.
The group of people stayed where they were, while Reg walked into the trading house after tying up his horses.
The neat appearance of the people coming in and out of the business was in sharp contrast to the civilians in the city.
One witch crystal can be exchanged for one hundred crystal coins, and one crystal coin can be exchanged for one hundred gold coins.
The items purchased by the few people were not too expensive to be exchanged for witch crystals, so Reg only exchanged a few crystal coins for hundreds of heavy gold coins.
Leger walked out and distributed the gold coins in his hands to several apprentices, and Yihua also received a heavy bag of gold coins.
