Vol 3 Chapter 1: The first "station" (on)

Along the Jewel River, which almost traversed half of the empire from Ebden, and then through the royal territory, you can reach the first stop of their trip-
Prince of Sacran
The name of this land was actually called at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, and has always been used as a seal of the crown prince and an important source of soldiers of the Imperial Legion. Many people still call it "Old Sacran" or "Ancient Sacran" to remind their descendants or themselves, don't forget that this is the birthplace of the Sakran.
It is divided into two by the Gem River, and the royal territory that is located in the imperial capital of Golovin is often referred to as the "West Sacran" or "New Sacran" to distinguish it from the princely kingdom. Come.
After 13 full generations, the two pieces of land also named "Sacran" have indeed become completely different, but they cannot be separated.
If the imperial capital of Golovin, the prince ’s collar is its wall and barrier;
If you compare Golovin to a queen who looks down on the world, the prince's collar is her knight.
This pure and simple land has nurtured generations of legionnaires from farms, forts, and towns. They threw down and tools in the workshop, put on the heaviest soldier armor of the whole empire, and put on shields. The Epee and the Sacran halberd form an unshakable Phalanx legion, which becomes a moving "wall" to confront the empire's enemies.
Lothal's Falcon shooter, Byrne's heavy knight, the Eastern Centaur ... and even hundreds of years ago, the evil gods and their army of monsters who stepped on this land were once the enemies of these "moving city walls" .
Sackland is not a barren land, but it is also not rich, there are no tough mountain people and elite knights fighting for her-only farmers, working hard in the fields, desperately on the battlefield, both hands and feet It is the farmers of sludge and blood who are defending this land.
Then use their muddy feet to conquer what they conquered, and put the iron crown banner raised by their dirty hands on the ground they could see.
Even after the belief in the Holy Cross, the people in this land have not changed their style; even the wizard college established here has also maintained the rustic "style" of the country.
After a long day of trekking, the northbound convoy finally arrived at their station at dawn, a well-known wizard school in Prince Sakland, and the nine-man star wizard tower was also registered, and the surrounding academy. The born town-the furnace town.
According to rumors, the alchemy here is very developed, and even called the first class of the empire, and from the dean to every tutor of every college without exception, all are the most standard alchemists.
It sounds strange, but in fact this is the "universal phenomenon" of the entire Imperial Wizard College-not every area has the ability to fund and establish a wizard college with all disciplines, neither impossible nor necessary, absolutely Most of them specialize in a certain subject, and there are two or three disciplines that are well-known.
On the contrary, it is the Wimpar College that is the real "wonderful" and alternative. This kind of college that is weak but actually has a complete school is absolutely unheard of elsewhere, and it can only be because of Dalton and Peter. A bit of a reason.
But when the black-haired wizard actually saw the "Alchemist Academy" with his own eyes, the whole person was stunned.
"On behalf of all the tutors and apprentices of the Furnace Academy, as well as the loyal people of the local empire, it is indeed an honor to welcome His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion to our furnace town!"
The speaker was a dean of the Furnace Academy who was wearing a robe and looked more like a blacksmith than a wizard. Even if he wore a larger robe, the dark-haired wizard could see the tight tendon under the sleeve Muscle, under the inch of the head is a very determined face, the sound is clanging, the loud voice like Hong Zhong even the last row of the team can be heard clearly.
"The people of the melting pot town and the apprentices of the college are very much looking forward to welcoming the members of the De Salyon family! We are all the purest Sacrans, but in the past few generations, we have really visited the royal family There are so few members, so that the poor furnace town people cherish this opportunity more! "
"That's really ... so sorry."
In the face of such an enthusiastic Dean and his expression of surprise and complaint, Brandon could only smile with embarrassment:
"Please rest assured that the people in the furnace town will surely tell the father and emperor that this will definitely change."
Even if he did n’t see Brandon ’s face in the back, the dark-haired wizard could hear that His Royal Highness was just perfunctory—but in the next second, the dean revealed almost undisguisedly Surprised smile, "Bang!" Hammered the chest:
"Thank you so much, Your Highness Brandon de Salion! The imperial people of the entire melting pot town will pray for you piously, and everything will come to you!"
"We also prepared a grand welcome ceremony and a dust-washing feast for you, please be sure to enjoy the light!"
After that, the "President" turned happily and walked toward the gate of the town. After confirming that he did not look back, Brandon withdrew his stiff smile and looked to Loren behind him with a very tired expression:
"Now do you know what kind of guys in the Sacran folks of ... are you?"
"Impressive." Loren tilted his lips in a playful manner, joking with a somewhat ironic tone: "It's a country of heaven, a true empire's people, but I understand somehow why the doctrine of the Holy Cross It was first born on this land. "
"Yes, who made us Sacran so simple and honest, it's so good to deceive, not as smart and cunning as the wizards of Ebden and Lotel?"
Immediately, His Royal Highness, the "spirit comprehension", couldn't help but show a playful smile: "But now you are ruled by this group of honest people, it is you group of wise people!"
This is undeniable. Loren shrugged his shoulders: "Probably the so-called ... honest people are not easy to bully?"
While answering with a chuckle, the dark-haired wizard's gaze has moved back to the furnace town in front of him.
He and Brandon chose to take a break here for a special reason.
Furnace Town and Furnace Academy is one of the important towns of the Prince of Sacran. It has a certain significance that the capital of the Prince cannot be replaced-because the workshops and craftsmen gathered here, and even all alchemists and The entire academy is dedicated to the logistics of manufacturing weapons for the Imperial Legion!
According to the current situation of the Empire's "four seas in peace", the only thing that would require a large amount of weapons, materials, ordnance, and various repair tools and carrying equipment is the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain.
To put it another way-only the Boundary Mountain Fortress that is about to invade will need a constant stream of swords, heavy crossbows, crossbows, armor, trebuchets, igniters, ammunition, arrows and everything that can destroy the enemy "Good stuff" turned into corpses!
But what if the furnace town doesn't get supplies from the Boundary Hill, and the supply is as high as the hill?
If the melting pot college and the entire town ~ EbookFREE.me ~ did not rush to work day after day to provide military supplies for the Jiejie Mountain; or were they just pretending to look like?
Even if you really work hard, if those weapons and equipment were not sent to the Boundary Mountain at all, but were "accidentally thrown away" as soon as you changed hands, and flowed into Ebden or a black market somewhere ...
So have the rumors about the "invasion" and the appeal for help from His Royal Highness Crown Prince Connolder become suspicious?
This is one of the real "goals" planned by Loren Turin and Brandon, and a large circle in the entire Prince Saklan collar, investigating the current armament situation of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, and judging this. Is it a "false" request for help or a "true" trap!
The reason to stay in each town once is to numb those who are still monitoring them and relax their vigilant tricks.
"So, my wizard advisor, His Excellency Loren Turin." Brandon smiled and looked at the dark-haired wizard beside him, not forgetting to nod slightly:
"Are you ready to enter the city with me?"
