The world of sword and magic

The World of Sword and Sorcery - Starting from Chapter 28

The next day, after Dicker sent away the Knife Maniac and his party, he went to the magic teleportation station and paid for the magician inside to teleport him to the capital Candil.

The magic teleportation station is very convenient for people in a hurry. Although it is expensive and you can't carry too much carry-on luggage, so it is not often used by passengers, it is still a very useful method of teleportation, especially when you have to rush to When meeting people in person from afar.

Dicker was still wearing a long-sleeved shirt, but dressed a little more formally, and walked directly to the palace like this.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped by the guard at the door, "Who are you? This is not a place where ordinary people can approach casually." The person in front of him doesn't look like a nobleman or an official. What do you do in the court if you have nothing to do?

"I have an urgent matter to meet His Majesty the King. Please take a look at this." Dicker said, and handed out a plaque, which was a small gold medal, engraved with the name of Farsen Kingdom (the name of the human country) The pattern of the national emblem, iris and shield.

The guards were taken aback when they saw the gold medal. Isn't this a special pass issued by the king?Even the first prince, the prince who is most likely to inherit the throne in the future, does not have a special pass!With this pass, it can be said that it is almost unimpeded in the Kingdom of Franconia, and as long as you show this certificate when you pass the border, you don't need to check the identity of the other party. It is completely authenticated and does not recognize the person. What is the origin of this person?

"You can pass!" The guard changed his previous attitude, let Dikel pass quickly, and reported the message to the past.

The king received Dicker in the side hall, because that would save a lot of troublesome etiquette.

"It's been a long time, Your Majesty Leonard. It's a great honor to see that your body is in good condition." Dicker spit out fluent social expressions from his mouth. There was no disrespect, and he was just a village chief according to etiquette, kneeling very far away from the throne.

But this obviously made the king dissatisfied.

"This is the side hall, why don't you speak in that tone?" And it's still so far away.

"Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be revoked." Dicker replied calmly, "I'm here to give you an answer today."

"Let's talk." Leonard said, he was already prepared to be rejected. At that time, he was too angry to do those excessive behaviors. It would be good if Dicker didn't hate him to death. How could he agree to him? confession.

"I will stay in Condil," Dicker said. "The condition is that I hope you can restore the village to its former state as much as possible. Those villagers are innocent. You don't have to think that I was coerced by you to make this decision." , I rejected you at the beginning just because my father was old, now that my father has passed away, I don’t have anything to worry about.” Leonard’s eyes are wide open, are his ears broken?

"However, I will not enter the National Academy of Sciences. It is not suitable for me. Compared with scholars, I am actually more suitable to be a civil servant. I actually passed the examination for a grassroots administrative officer a long time ago. It was only because of my father, so I did not Stay in Condile. As for the answer you want to hear," Dicker paused, "You have liked me for almost 20 years, and I just found out about it, so I can't tell you for a while, my What is your intention? At least I don’t hate you.” Because those blacksmiths were not treated badly, they were just moved by their families to other towns with mineral veins. “So, you can let me stay with you as a low-level administrative officer by your side?"

"That's wronged you, Dick." This was much better than Leonard's original expectation, and he also knew that Dicker's talent was definitely not limited to being a grassroots political officer.

"I will use my own strength to climb up." Dicker replied with firm eyes, only in this way can he be recognized by other officials, "Your Majesty, you have been staying in the palace all the time, so you don't know much about the changes outside. ?Even if you are smart alone, if the people around you refuse to tell you anything, then this country will only go to ruin. Do you know that you have always been considered a fool?"

The bold direct advice awakened Leonard, "Dickel, I know you won't lie to me, tell me what happened."

So Dicker focused on the riots on the border, the organization of the rebel army, the dissent of the prime minister, etc., as well as the news that the people's hearts in the border area have been seriously fluctuating, which made Leonard both shocked and angry, "...I don't I know. Prime Minister Carlo didn’t tell me anything, I want to replace him!”

"Your Majesty, you can't do this. If you do this, you will only scare the snake. You are too impulsive, like a sword without a scabbard. It is sharp but it is easy to cut the user. Reform must be done slowly, and I will become Your scabbard, when necessary, will become your mirror, or your shield."

"For the country?" This guy has always been a guy with strong patriotism, Leonard thought so, it should be very good to have such a courtier by his side, right?Although he prefers the other party to be his lover.

"Yes. It's for you too. This country needs you, and I..." Dickel paused, "Although I can't answer you yet, I don't want to watch you die." Said that he was not moved by Leonard at all. It's a lie, but he is still not sure of his own mind, he doesn't want to make a decision just because of a momentary emotion.

Later, the Kingdom of Farsen slowly stepped onto the road of prosperity and strength under the joint efforts of Leonard and Dikel to carry out reforms, and Dikel became famous all over the world under the name of "the scabbard of the emperor". , used the identity of the prime minister to assist Leonard, and has always been by Leonard's side. Leonard later became a famous monarch in history and was called "Sharp Sword", but that was another story a long time later. , so I skip it here.

Let's say that after Schiller and his party left Kanter Village and continued their journey, they were getting closer and closer to the border between humans and dragons. There were no longer villages on the road, and they slowly entered the densely forested jungle.

"The road here is really difficult," Schiller murmured, even as a half-elf he felt a little hard, "Captain, are you all right?" He pays attention to the condition of the road and the speed of travel. Getting lost in a place like this is no fun.

The mage robe that Haifeng was wearing greatly hindered his forward speed at this time, "Damn, I'm so troublesome, I really want to set a fire here." Of course he won't really do that, but this kind of Dangerous speeches still make everyone cast worried eyes on him, "What are you looking at? I won't really do that, that's asking for trouble." But you seem like someone who would do that, everyone I couldn't help but think this way, but even the most offline Navitt didn't dare to say this remark. Everyone felt that they missed Xue Linglan very much.

If they had to choose between the ticking time bomb and the ghost from the other side, they would rather choose the latter, at least the "safety" is much higher, and it feels "cool" even in summer.

Navitt's situation was not much better. He was wearing a full set of armor, and his bulky equipment was really not suitable for traveling through the jungle. Although he was not so embarrassed compared to the wind that was always caught by his robe, he was still sweating profusely.

Only Dao Kuang was in a better condition. Dao Kuang was dressed very lightly and was a quick-moving killer. Traveling through the dense forest did not bring him too much trouble, and his forward speed was only slower than Schiller.

When the schedule was severely hindered, everyone decided to stop and rest temporarily, and by the way, they could take this opportunity to change into more mobile clothes.

Since they were about to enter the dense forest, they abandoned the carriage and took their own luggage with them. Navet and Gale temporarily left to change their clothes, leaving Dao Kuang and Schiller to wait in place.

"Captain, how long do you think it will be before we get out of the jungle?" Schiller asked.

"At the current speed, it may take three weeks, right? Don't worry about food and water," Dao Kuang said. "We have enough dry food and drinking water, and at this time, we don't have to worry about drinking water and food here. Source. Oh, the two of them are back."

It's nothing surprising that Navet changed into light civilian clothes, but Haifeng's attire was a bit surprising. Yes, he was dressed like Schiller, a standard archer's attire, "What are you looking at? No Have you ever seen a half-demon archer?"

"Are you a magician?" This question was said by Navitt.

"Hmph, did I mention that I'm a pure mage? Even if Xue is me, I don't need it, right? But it shouldn't be considered an archer. Although the number of magic archers is much smaller than that of magic swordsmen, you don't have to show that face?" Haifeng said unhappily.

"I'm sorry, I'm ignorant." Naveit said, he has gradually learned how to get along with Haifeng. Sure enough, Haifeng's face calmed down when he heard Navitt's words, and he didn't continue to get angry. Schiller endured the knife He couldn't help secretly showing "well done" to Navitt, while thinking in his heart, he deserves to be a grandparent.

After Navet and Haifeng both changed their costumes, the speed of the group increased a lot. On the contrary, the human sword maniac was a bit behind, but they have always paid attention to the speed so that the sword maniac was not left behind.

A group of people shuttled quickly through the forest, what would be the fate waiting in front of them?
