Glory Mage

A small town on the border of the Glory Empire is still at peace.Under the setting sun, the pale yellow light casts the whole town in a faint yellow halo.Far away, a few private houses emitted curling smoke rising into the air.

The town of Grant here was a fief acquired by an official knight named Carl 100 years ago.In the blink of an eye, there have been two lords here.

The territory on the left is a large piece of dark green grass, and several windmills are slowly rotating in front of a farmhouse.There are several factory buildings and wooden houses behind.Inside sat an old man holding tea and lying in the setting sun.Words such as dying, dying, and about to die are very suitable for him.He lived over 130 and was the founder of the town, Carl.

Sipping a sip of tea, Carl's cloudy eyes showed a bit of memory.He remembered that a long time ago, when he was a child, he lived in a territory called Wanghuo City. The lord was a baron named Albert, and a white-robed mage scavenger.In a peaceful life, he did not expect that his parents were slaughtered by the invading orcs and war elves. Fortunately, the mage named Grant rescued him and let him slowly crawl out of the dark deep ravine. Now he has everything .At that time, we broke up when we reached the steel barrier.

Because he remembered his kindness and wanted to avenge the war elves, he practiced hard every day, and his swordsmanship level improved by leaps and bounds. With his not-so-great aptitude, he was abruptly promoted to the peak of the official knight, which was somewhat stronger than the original baron.And the attack method of swordsmanship can be said to be life-threatening.At that time, I was so coquettish that I killed many orcs and war elves.Obtain the territory called Black Rock City. [

In the end, he didn't expect the kingdom to merge into the Glory Empire, and his territory only had a small town of Grant.But before.The province gave this territory to a guy with a little background in the background.Karl didn't have too much resentment about this, anyway, he lived a long enough life without too many regrets.No!If there is one regret, it is not being able to see Grant again.Every time I think of this, I feel a little regret.

Carl thought that maybe the current Grant was gray-haired and looked like an old man.After all, more than 100 years have passed, and I have relied on the strong vitality of a formal knight to survive until now. The other party is a mage who lives a few more years, at most like an old man.

As he thought about it, his eyelids suddenly became a little heavy.Suddenly, his chest stirred and he spit out a mouthful of blood.Karl widened his eyes and wanted to breathe loudly, but something seemed to be stuck in his lungs and he couldn't breathe.

boom!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a young man who looked similar to the young Karl walked in.He grabbed Carl by the shoulders and pressed hard on his chest.I'm afraid Karl won't catch his breath.

After a few minutes, Karl felt that the breathing in his lungs became smooth again, but his eyes and eyes were a little heavy and drooping.That is the luster that only the eyes of the dead can have, cloudy and divine.

"Grandpa, are you okay now?" The young man nervously grabbed Carl's withered palm and asked eagerly.He is Carlos, Carl's grandson.An expert who has reached the ordinary knight level.

"Well, I'm fine. But I'm going to tell you something today, so listen slowly." Carl smiled, but it was forced and hurtful.

"Actually, I used to have a benefactor named Grant, who was the lord of Glory City. Of course, it was decades ago. He is a very great mage, so he is probably still alive. I hope you go there to find his trace. This It is my wish. Maybe I have no way to see it in my life, only you can execute this wish instead of my will."

"Grandpa, you'll be fine. You're a great official peak knight. No one dared to disobey your will." Carlos cried to Carl with extreme reluctance. .He didn't expect that his grandfather, who had been with him all this time, would leave his world soon.Every time I think of this, tears flow down my cheeks, and my heart throbs with pain.

"There's no need to talk about these things anymore. Everyone may die or leave. The difference is only sooner or later. Anyway, what I said will only be carried out after my death. You don't need to worry that much, understand? Hehe , you silly child..." Carl squeezed out a smile, and reached out tremblingly to caress Carlos' head.Suddenly, there was a tremor in the hand, and it fell down with a sound.

He never dreamed that his heart would shatter instantly like an exploding balloon.Fortunately, before he died, he had already confessed what he needed to say without reservation, otherwise it would be really depressing.

The expression on Carlos' face froze, and his eyes gradually showed some disbelief. He shook his head and murmured: "Impossible, impossible, impossible... Grandpa will not die. I Grandpa is a great knight, his life force is unbelievably long, how could he die."

As he spoke, his face was covered with a mixture of tears and snot.The violently shaking body fell beside Karl, and he couldn't get any extra strength to stand up.

He sobbed and choked, venting his dissatisfaction in his body.Who would have thought that when he returned home normally, he would see his grandfather lying in front of him, and he would have no way to stand up again.This kind of pain is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more painful than digging a heart with a knife.

After crying for hours, Carlos gradually stopped crying, hugging Carl's body and trying to bury it in the grass in front of where his grandfather used to play with him.

…………

Half a month later, at the exit of Gebante Town, beside a water bridge, there are lush dark green grasslands on both sides.Below is a clear river running from north to south.The sound of rushing water echoed around, but at this moment, the sound of a few horseshoes disturbed the beautiful scenery under these natural scenery.

Carlos was wearing a silver light armor with a long sword on his back, and the long hair on his forehead had already been neatly cut.At this moment, he galloped across the stone bridge with high spirits, and two horses followed closely behind him, and they left the small town of Grant together.For them, having found it, the goal now is to find Grant. [

"Thank you both for coming with me, this time. Let us shine in our future dreams." Carlos held the reins tightly with both hands, and looked at the two companions who were with him behind him with emotion on his face. .half a month ago.After I buried my grandfather in the cemetery in front of my home, I bought all the property in the seller.I didn't expect that two companions who had been playing games since they were young, would follow closely without any hesitation after hearing such a legendary thing.

"This is a very powerful thing. It's almost moldy to be in the small town all the time. There's nothing interesting about it yet."

"Besides, your level is not even your opponent in the small town. We are not in too much danger outside. And our own level is also quite good, all of which have reached the level of quasi-knights."

"Well, let's go to the woods ahead to explore together. But everyone must be careful." Carlos was very touched that the two companions could follow him together.But being careful is the safest way.If the companion dies, I believe that he will be sorry for the rest of his life.

"Let's go." An obviously lively companion laughed and galloped his horse. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared into Carlos' eyes in a puff of dust.

…………

In a blink of an eye, they moved forward for more than ten days, passing through two small towns along the way.After the initial discomfort.Everyone gradually accepted this kind of life in the wild.

They didn't have any disappointment or sentimentality. Instead, they thought that the days of constantly walking around the world and broadening their horizons were very meaningful.The biggest difference between people and movements is that they are not satisfied with the status quo around them, want to be stronger, go to more places, and understand more deeply.These are the instincts of human survival.

Annis Forest.This is an off-the-beaten-path path leading to the city of Sicily, and it is very close to the city from here.But there is also a bad side, that is, a group of robbers live in the forest.When they saw that the caravan passing by was weak, they would not hesitate to attack and engulf them and take away all the money.No one will be spared.

woo~~~

In front of the lush dark green woods, the three of them stopped in front of the woods.Seeing the deep environment, a black shadow flashed from time to time, or a terrifying scream.

Carlos, the leader, saw the movement in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly, showing some impatience and nervousness.He knew that ahead was where rumors of thieves lay.To be honest, I haven't seen the thieves before, and I don't even know if I can beat the opponent right now.

However, Grandpa said that ordinary thieves are nothing special, they are all ordinary adults, at most there are some quasi-knight combinations.Only the thieves at the border have ordinary knights. As for the official knights, they can get titles and live in a large number of territories when they go to the empire to serve. How could they go to such a place to become thieves?

Therefore, Carlos still felt a bit of conviction in his nervous heart.He has a kind of blind admiration and self-confidence to his grandfather Karl.

"Okay, everyone has reached the border of Anlis Forest. I think everyone already knows what the front means. This time, remember to go to the front and be careful. Otherwise, serious injuries may be caused."

"Don't worry, it's the first time I've dealt with thieves, I'm so excited. I will definitely show them my grandpa's true skills. Hey, Carlos, who will we kill more thieves later? How? Like?" A companion named Okalid beside him said with a smile and bright eyes.He doesn't like those thieves very much. He has the level of a quasi-knight. He is a very strong master in Grant's town. Can't he deal with those guys?Okalid still didn't believe it.

"Okay, then let's all attack each other with all our strength." Carlos saw the message on his companion's face, and his nervousness was relieved to a certain extent.Since the two companions are not afraid, and I am stronger than them, what kind of bird should I be afraid of.

Raising his hand, he swept the horse's back, and the horse turned into a puff of smoke and rushed into the woods.As soon as he entered the woods, the bright environment around him suddenly became dark, and soon black shadows flashed across the woods.

Far away on the other side of the forest, there is a tall tree with many woods. These twists and turns form small wooden houses, where thieves who make people change their faces live.They have lived in Anlis Forest and haven't encountered a decent threat for a long time. Basically, the harvest of each shot is very satisfactory.This time, in a room with a white tent in the middle, a burly, nearly two-meter-old man with a bare chest was drinking a glass of wine, and beside him was a beautiful woman with a hot and delicate body lying in her arms , making a whimpering sound incessantly.

Hearing this, the big man turned crimson all over, and his eyes burst into desire.He didn't expect that the woman he snatched and trained for half a year would be so obedient.Even the temptation to make a show was much higher than I expected, so I immediately raised my gun.There is a feeling of wanting to barrel something.

"No, you little rascal, if I don't do you today. My second child really can't stand it. I can satisfy you with whatever posture you say you like. And I will let you enjoy the way you never Happiness I've never had before. Hehe...I'm really picking up the pose I like, so please give me a mouth first."

The big man smiled obscenely, stretched out one hand to hold the woman's head, and leaned closer to his lower body, a smug smile appeared on his ferocious face.Such a beautiful woman makes this kind of movement under her crotch.But full of a sense of accomplishment. [

"Boss! Boss!" A rush of shouts came from far to near, from small to loud, and suddenly appeared outside the tent.Hearing the voice, the big man showed annoyance on his face, how dare he come to sabotage the stage when he was doing a good job, his heart suddenly burst into anger, and he wanted to find that guy and beat him severely to vent his depression.

However, the big man also knew that he was daring to disturb him while doing business.There must be something important.

He lifted up his pants, kicked the woman's shoulder away and strode out of the meteor tent. He saw a rather wretched, thin and tall thief standing outside.A longbow is carried on the back, and there is a long and narrow knife slightly raised at the left waist.

"Ouza, what do you need to tell me? If you don't have anything to do. Believe it or not, I'll take off your skin and feed it to the monster. Make it clear..." the big man cursed.

Hearing this, Ouza showed an expression of surprise on his face excitedly, and gesticulated happily: "Boss, I just saw three people coming towards me outside. They are all young people, and one of them is a woman. She looks very beautiful. I know that the boss likes to play training recently, so I think the boss must not want to miss such a stunner."

"En. You're right. I'd better go and see what that guy looks like. If that's the case, you'll count as a great achievement this time."

"Thanks."

After the big man heard these words, he quickly sent ten people to follow him to the woods ahead to see what was going on.He has the peak strength of a quasi-knight, and even an ordinary knight can resist more than a dozen times, so he has considerable information about his own strength.

They walked along the rough grass, and soon saw three horses rushing towards them, two men and one woman, and the woman was very sweet.The light golden long hair was tied into two braids and hung quietly on the shoulders. The pair of tall virgin peaks on the chest were wrapped in silver leather armor, revealing a deep moat in front of them, making all the boys secretly swallow their saliva.This little girl really made them unable to hold back.

Carlos saw the ten thieves rushing over, but he didn't know what the other party was planning.First, he stopped, and drew out the narrow and sharp double swords at his waist. Under the sunlight, he could see the faint golden light of the sword blades.His originally smiling face, following the battle, suddenly became dignified like a sharp sword.

Okalid beside him, Alek also raised his sword, ready to fight.

"Haha, do you think you can subdue me with a little trick like yours? You are really stupid, let me ask you to try what is terrible strength. Don't be afraid then." The big man didn't talk peacefully with the other party at all. Or the idea of ​​cheating, what can a few young people in their twenties do?Maybe he just thought the adventurer was handsome, so he came out of the delicate house.

Because of this, after the big man approached the nearest young man with his sword, he swung it down with all his strength, a distorted arc of light flashed in front of him, and the faint sound of the sword could be heard in mid-air.

He knew that with this blow, even a quasi knight would be seriously injured, so he was very confident.He could already guess that the opponent's head was severed by this move of his, and then warm blood gushed out.

Many people behind also guessed this idea and screamed loudly.

"Boss, boss, you will definitely win."

"Looking at the old man using his own means, I believe that guy will break his head later."

"I think so."

Many thieves expressed their thoughts with excitement on their faces.For them, this is just a small incident, and the boss can add another stroke to his glorious history.

Ding!

Suddenly, a burst of golden sparks sputtered out, Carlos drew out his long sword to block, and then moved forward lightly to relieve five points of the pressure of the big man.Immediately afterwards, he quickly stabbed forward with a sword.If there is no way to avoid this sword.Then the entire right shoulder can definitely be completely abolished.

The big man's expression was shocked, and his heart was even more violent, screaming loudly: "How is it possible? How could you have such a strong strength. Damn it, I must have provoked a guy who shouldn't be dealt with."

He knew that the young man in front of him, who looked only 20 years old, had stronger swordsmanship than himself.Just talking about the exquisite sword just now, it is clear that it is at least at the ordinary knight level.Although he could fight against ordinary knights dozens of times, he still died in the end.

The thieves who watched the excitement around them were all petrified, and it was unbelievable to stay there one by one.Their always strong boss unexpectedly ran away immediately after the opponent struck a sword.This level is so powerful that it is terrifying.Suddenly silent and speechless.There are even very few thieves who don't believe in the situation in front of them, rubbing their eyes, silently saying to themselves that these are all fake, that guy is nothing special, and he must have misread it to have such a situation.Otherwise, how could the boss lose to such a guy.

It wasn't until the big man was about ten meters away from them that all the people looked forward in shock, knowing that this matter was correct.My boss can't beat that guy.

"Haha. I'm ready to do it too. Don't let Carlos take all the heads, Alek, do you want to kill them all with me?" Okalid felt a flame burst from the bottom of his heart. , Until here, I don't have any fear in my heart, I just want to kill those guys completely.

Alec shook her head.With a hint of nervousness and stuttering: "No, you guys go kill them. I'll find some weak thieves and kill them. You just deal with the strong ones."

The two looked at each other in dismay, and after deciding on a plan in an instant, they rushed into the thieves' circle and began to slaughter wantonly.Facing Okalid and Alek, who had quasi-knight skills, how could those thieves who were just ordinary people resist.immediately.It's like wolves entering a flock of sheep, there is absolutely no thief who can give them a sense of obstruction for a moment.In particular, Okalid was so killed that he was covered in a layer of blood.With a crazy face, he kept waving the sharp sword in his hand.

On the other side, the big man saw that his subordinates couldn't stop him even for a moment, and knew that he could no longer control those guys.He knew that escape was the most important thing first, and when he turned his head slightly and saw that Carlos, who was getting closer and closer to him, had no intention of giving up at all, he was frightened and ran quickly with his horse.

joke!I am also a quasi knight, so why can I deal with ordinary knights?While there is still a little time now, let's run away quickly.

"Where are you running!" Carlos kept chasing after him. Seeing that the opponent's horse was like a fish in water on the rough road in the forest, he probably thought that one day he would meet someone he couldn't handle, so he specially trained the horse to be like that.

Like ordinary people encountering this kind of situation and their own team is not in trouble, they will definitely not continue to chase.After all, if you can't catch up with the opponent, it will be foolish to chase.But Carlos is different. He is often reminded by Grandpa Karl that he must be careful and observe carefully.Fortunately, I usually feel that I have strong concentration, so I came up with three ways to deal with this situation.

Now he decided to use a method to subdue it. With a swipe, he wiped his palm on his waist, and suddenly a long and narrow sword appeared with a faint cold light.With a shake of his arm, the flowing blade turned into a white streamer and plunged into the horse's leg of the big man in front of him.Losing its right hind leg, the big man's horse only screamed and fell to the ground.

The big man fell forward in an inertia, and his right hand was hit by a giant tree.The giant tree fell to the ground, and the big man's right hand was also broken. If he didn't think of a way, he might be useless.

"Now take it." Carlos drew out his sharp sword, slapped his toes, stepped on the horse's back, and jumped in front of the big man. Raising his hand, he waved the sword light like raindrops and landed in front of him.Immediately, the big man had no ability to resist, and fell to the ground.An abnormal amount of blood flowed out from more than a dozen blood holes on his body...

"Okay, I'll kill you. I didn't expect it to be so easy to kill the thieves for the first time. But fortunately, with my grandfather's abundant technical experience, I can kill the opponent so easily. Now I will go back and join forces with them and keep going forward." Carlos looked When the big man died so badly that he couldn't die anymore, he finally felt a little bit more relaxed.

He knew that the area of ​​Anlis Forest was very large, and he would definitely not be able to finish walking today.Resting at night, the most feared is a sneak attack from the dark.Thinking that he had an enemy lurking in the dark night, who would attack him at any time, Carlos felt a chill all over his body, feeling uncomfortable.

He walked up to the soldiers and found corpses lying on the ground.Okalid stood aside, spitting out.On the other side, Alek's pretty face was pale, and she was also not very good-looking.

Carlos was slightly taken aback when he saw the situation in front of him, apparently not expecting this to happen.Immediately, he was very curious and asked why Okalid vomited there.As a result, Okalid just said that after the killing, he was very uncomfortable with this appearance.In this regard, Carlos can only feel speechless.

They got rid of this team of thieves and continued to move forward, hoping to reach Glory City one day.As early as decades ago, Glory City, the most prosperous city in the Glory Empire, made them very envious.This time, with a mission on his back, he was even more looking forward to it. Thinking of the Master Grant who had a relationship with Grandpa Carl, he felt unbelievable.

A few days later, they left Anlis Forest and went all the way. After going through countless troubles and unimaginable dangers on the way, they finally arrived at the border of Glory City.Even if it is thousands of meters from the border, the surrounding forests have been cut down to make hotels.

Walking to a road, you can see the city wall erected ahead, and the Glory City is full of majestic buildings.In the sky, there is still a huge aerial city suspended, and several strange light beams are suspended, constantly rotating back and forth.

"Carlos, let's go, let's go to Glory City to find Mage Grant."

"That's right, after half a year, I finally came here. This time I finally got here, so I can't waste it."

Okalid, Yali said things with excitement.For them, after working hard for so long, they can finally see the results.

Carlos nodded solemnly, and after seeing the crowds of people living in front of him, he kept crowding inside.Fortunately, he has an ordinary knight-level behind him, allowing him to walk in like a duck to water.Soon, they came under the tall city wall.

Two knights in heavy armor stood on both sides of the city wall, each of which was of the ordinary knight level.In the eastern region, the only ones who let ordinary knights guard the city gates are the Imperial Capital of the Glory Empire and Glory City. After all, this lineup is too luxurious.

Carlos walked to the city gate and said nervously, "Hello, do you know Master Grant? My grandfather and Master Grant are friends, and I want to come to him this time."

"Master Grant? Your grandfather, friend?" The soldier's eyes widened when he heard this sentence, and he repeated.

"Yes." Carlos nodded.

"Haha, you guys dare to say you know Mage Grant. What do you think you are? How can you know the legendary mage in Glory City? There are too many people who see you say that every day, so get out of here." Soldier He curled his lips in disdain. In his opinion, even the emperor is incapable of seeing Master Grant. This guy is dressed so simply that it is clear that he is not rich. How could he possibly know Master Grant? (to be continued...)
