Chapter 47: Inside and outside the castle

Li Jia was trotting along the river on a horse. He was wearing a leather riding suit, climbing the reins with both hands, buttocks lifted slightly with the ups and downs of the horse. With the exception of black hair and black eyes, it is no different from the knights of this era.
Along the way, I occasionally encountered a ragged farmer or villager who bowed his head in a humble salute. In the first few days, he dismounted to try to persuade them not to be so respectful and restrained, but he got panic-stricken eyes. Later, he gave up, at most nodded to the other party, no matter whether the lower head could see his compliments.
It is closer to the center of the kingdom, but people are far less prosperous than the town of Floro, not to mention Suero, where merchants gather. Li Jia asked Celinda this question, and Celina was disgusted when she gave the answer: Floro Town is located on the border, the folk customs are tough, and it is difficult to collect taxes. Her lazy father is always in Wangdu and Holiday Estate You haven't collected taxes for many years.
Occasionally, he will remember the situation when she first met Celinda. She is so sunny, cute, lively and confident, like a country beauty in a knight, but how cruel reality is, such characters will only appear in the story, Either it was a boring horsewoman posing.
After seven or eight days, the negotiation progressed slowly, and the count avoided talking about many specific issues, but just entertained him deliciously. Li Jia felt he seemed to be waiting for someone. Li Jia can only spend time on riding and magic every day. In this way, his riding progress is not small, and his magic level is changing with each passing day.
In the Earl ’s little castle, Celinda has her own study room, which contains a lot of magic books. Every night, she will take the time to guide Li Jia to learn spells. Although the magic knight is not a real mage, but as a Li Jia's guide is still enough.
The practice of magic is nothing more than two points: cultivation of spiritual power and learning of magic.
Li Jia is about to reach the bottleneck of condensing the mind and has entered the final stage of conceiving the mind. What he is practicing now is Celinda's mysterious technique "Gale". When practicing this mystery, the magician must stand up against the wind and drive his spiritual power to split the oncoming wind. Li Jia's daily horseback running is just to practice the secret technique. According to Celinda, when riding a horse and walking fast, you can feel the flow of air, then the consciousness should be born.
In the past, even if Li Jia tried harder to control his mental strength, he felt limited progress every day. But today, Li Jia clearly felt some breakthroughs. He found that he could break the breeze in front of him and let them blow to both sides. He was almost done.
He was happy in his heart, and quickly rushed further away.
Li Jia did not know that at this time in front of a window in the castle, Celinda and Count Arias were looking at him from afar.
Seeing him riding away, the count returned his gaze and looked at her daughter's face with a smile: "It seems that you really value him very much. The strong wind method is something your grandfather paid at the boss's expense."
"The mystery technique is dead, and it's valuable to use it on people." Celinda replied coldly. "Do you remember how long it took me to concentrate?"
"Three years?"
"Three years and five months plus four days! Do you know how long it took him to reach the bottleneck of condensing God? One month! Most of that month was still fighting and rushing!"
The count shrugged. "He came from the magician's castle. He must have been trained in concentration before, but it was only a breakthrough."
"No, absolutely not! Do you think I can't even distinguish this? He has no mental power at all, even a magic apprentice! I personally tested him, and I can feel it!"
The count looked serious: "You haven't told me such an important thing."
"When did you care about these things?" Celinda asked with a sarcastic expression. "I have limited talents in magic. Three years proved that I can't go too far on the magic road. But one month! You don't know Understand what this means? In that tower, who has succeeded in concentrating for a month? Master Icasa of the Tower of Spirit Eyes was labeled with unlimited potential after three months. "
"You are so excited, my good daughter, genius is so far away from the real big man, and there is so far from the earth to the moon."
"But he is 100 times more likely to be a moon than others, and 10,000 times yours!"
"If you look at it this way, your dad will be sad." The count held his forehead in grief, and he said with a bitter face: "But since he is a genius, why haven't they been discovered by those magicians? You have Never thought about this problem? "
"There are stupid people who take treasures as stones everywhere! The nobles of the kingdom are particularly good at doing these things." Celinda's expression seemed to be saying that you are also such a person, "but this is not important, the important thing is that he is now There is a magician, a magician who may enter the sanctuary, and he listens to me. It is you, since you are willing to talk to them, why are you still dragging, Li Jia has the authorization of the magicians, he also submitted to the other , But you do n’t know what you are doing. "
auzw.com "You young people are too anxious. Falcons fly too fast and will miss the rabbit. In fact, I am also for you. You see, now you have a lot of time together every day, and The future genius Saint Magician cultivates feelings, isn't this what you want? "The count joked.
"It's really a dog that can't change to eat shit." Celinda's most annoying thing is that every time she talks to the count about the matter, she will be led into an inexplicable direction, which gives her a great sense of weakness and frustration.
"I'm going to practice sword." She no longer looked at him and turned away from the room. When she went out, she saw Pinto walking towards the door and saw her saluting respectfully. And her high head did not pause for him at all, ignoring Pinto directly.
"It seems that the news is almost collected. Let's hear it." When Heping spoke, the count seemed to have changed his personality. Although it was still frivolous on the surface, he could see something else in his expression.
"Yes, sir." Pinto didn't come up with any manuscripts. He said it all based on memory. What he said was naturally all about the school.
While listening, the earl walked to the closet, picked up a glass wine bottle, and poured the shimmering red wine into a stemware. This is a good thing that Suero has appeared in the past two months. Earl, who has always enjoyed the first, naturally has to catch up with this trend.
"They opened a lot of new fields near Montenegro, and for this reason they also sent troops to destroy two goblin tribes. According to their people in charge of agriculture, there will be something called" fertilizer "used in the fields in the future. The magic items configured by the magicians can increase food production. However, no one has seen that thing. "
"They have built several workshops that can produce bricks, iron, and this kind of glass. These workshops are very large, and many people come and go to work every day, but the most critical steps, There are hardly any locals involved, and it ’s difficult for us to find out what it is like. Suero ’s supplies are all from them.

"They have done a great deal of trade, not only because of new products, but also because of the help of two business families, and many goods have been sold to Wangdu and the Empire."
"At least eight of the local villagers in Floro have obeyed the management of the magician. Most of them are farming, hunting, mining, or serving them as soldiers. Their army is very well organized, and the most elite warriors use one A magic weapon called "Five and Six Half" with a long range. "
"'Five and six-and-a-half'? Well, Irus said that. That should be the model of the gun." The earl finally spoke.
"We got this gun from a horse thief under Cadiz, but we haven't found a way to use it. It seems that something is missing. However, Li Jia definitely knows, do you want to try it out? he."
The Earl drank a glass of wine and shook his head: "As long as they continue to use the new weapons, we will always know. I know the virtue of this continent the most. I can't live without fists. But I can't let magic The teachers know that we have nothing to do with Cadiz ’s actions. You have to cut things down in this regard. "
"Except for you and me, everyone who knows these things can only go to the God of Nature."
"May they rest in peace. As for Li Jia," the count said with a smile. "The future Saint Magician will be given to my dear daughter."
"The slaves that were previously robbed by Xiao Chen and Luo Ling are now settled near Montenegro. These people seem to be quite settled, there is no sign of riots. Our people have been inserted, but Now the slaves are kept under strict control and unable to send out the news. From the outside news, the magicians seem to be still discussing how to deal with them. "
"This Xiao Chen, and Luo Ling's strength?"
"Xiao Chen must be a very powerful magician, especially good at spiritual magic. It is said that when he calmed the slave riot, he could deal with hundreds of slaves as soon as he shot it. As for Luo Ling, a magic knight under the Viscount Erus was She knocked down easily, and several slave merchants who negotiated with her said that she secretly used frost magic in a negotiation. But it is difficult to speculate about her strength. "
"I heard that these two men are very young?" The count asked thoughtfully, sitting on the chair and leaning on the back of the chair.
"Yes. Everyone who has seen them feels that they are powerful and have great potential, including Master Icasa."
"It's endless potential again? So much potential came at once?" The count said for a moment, and asked, "Pinto, tell me, from the information, what do you think is the best way to deal with them?"
Pinto looked a little hesitant, "I think"
"Say, it doesn't matter."
"Stop the army and destroy them!"
