February of the year 730 of the Aramaic calendar, the week of melting snow and new shoots.
The great astrologer Spiller from Wulian City in the Sijia District of the Southwest Peninsula has completed the first issue of the perpetual calendar, which is actually the weekly climate forecast for the years 729 to 739 of the Arian calendar. This is not surprising in the forum. It caused quite a stir.
Compared with the old method, it can only predict changes in the next week or two weeks. This time not only did it predict the ten-year period at once, but it also abandoned the original symbolic recording method and switched to numbers used in mathematics.
In this regard, the loudest protestors are of course those old-school astrologers who are unwilling to learn and absorb new things. But the host of the Perpetual Calendar is the most respected among the astrologers in the Southwest Peninsula. Most of the astrologers in the southwest peninsula can be regarded as his disciples and grandsons through relatives. Therefore, the opposition did not make any big waves.
After the first issue of the Perpetual Calendar was posted on the forum, Lin, who was still in Wulian City at the time, bought a set. That was at the end of 1972-8.
The name of the climate week, "Snowmelt and New Buds," is also the day that announces the official arrival of spring every year.
He drove up the carriage, carrying more things than when he came up, and the four strong horses pulled up the carriage, still relaxed and comfortable. A spare horse and the mule followed behind the car, which was not much different from the formation when they came.
Over the past year or so, the ones that have changed the most are probably these beasts. Staying within the scope of the World Tree, any weed has energy and nutrients that are unmatched by the outside world, which makes them fat and strong.
On the way out, there were some sections where the trees grew close together, making it difficult for large vehicles to pass. When they came, they relied on Kalama Harang's ability to control plants, and when they left, they relied on Halumi, a new member of the Turtle Dove Alliance, to cooperate with the World Tree Turtle Dove Qin to clear the way.
The ability of the piano to control plants was the result of Fen Mo's modification. Except for Lin, a traveler who likes to make magic props that can be directly attacked, such as magic guns and wands with fireballs attached; the mainstream method of enchantment is to add some auxiliary magic, or some items that will be very useful in certain situations. Magic that is practical, but not worth expending your precious power to use or remember.
For most magicians, controlling plants is a magic that is only used on special occasions. However, considering the original patterns on the body of the world tree turtle dove piano in hand, adding a magic to control plants is the most reasonable design without causing extensive damage. Another enchantment is energy shield.
Of these two magics, the former is a naturally formed pattern of the World Tree, which means it has a rudimentary ability; it only needs to be slightly changed in the direction of the magic pattern and guided, and it can be used quickly. Compared with druid control of plants, the convenience is not far behind. The latter is the main function of the natural magic patterns on the World Tree.
If you think about it seriously, this situation is quite normal. The World Tree spans multiple dimensions. In order to deal with the energy impact between different dimensions, its own protection must be quite thorough. It can be said that 99% of the magic patterns on the body exist for this purpose.
The error that was missed in the previous promotion of Waldwo was due to the neglect of the energy required for the World Tree to 'evolve' the magic patterns on its own body, which resulted in the almost collapse. Fortunately, the ending was peaceful. If those wood elves had not been sacrificed, it would have been a complete success.
In other words, this Turtle Dove has been modified by Fen. In addition to being used as a warhammer to hit people, it can also be used to control plant magic and be used as a shield to defend against energy attacks. Its hardness allows it to be used as a defense against attacks from general weapons. shield. Of course, it can also be played as an instrument.
Halumi couldn't put it down for such an offensive and defensive weapon...well, a musical instrument.
Compared to the crooked blonde girl, her companions are much more normal. Within this year, Kaya has become proficient in using three-ring apprentice-level magic. And with the convenience of being within the coverage of the World Tree, enough power has been accumulated. As long as you find a branch headquarters of the Magicians Association to conduct the assessment, it is no longer a big problem to obtain the qualifications of an official magician.
But neither Lin nor the girl herself was so anxious about Kaya's promotion. Because the dark-haired and brown-skinned girl hopes to participate in the official magician promotion assessment with her companions.
On the other hand, the personal information in Midi is not as convenient as the informatization of government agencies on Earth. No matter where people go, personal information can be retrieved. The promotion records of master and apprentice Lin are all included in the paper directory of magicians and magic apprentices of Xijia District Branch. When you reach a new partition, you have to log in again and re-authenticate.
Of course, the re-certification here will be more relaxed for those who already have magician qualifications. But the title of 'Great Magician' will be awarded very cautiously.
For the certification of magic apprentices, there are different standards depending on the region. Some of the more stringent ones will require you to retake the test no matter how many times you have passed it before. The reason is also very simple. If you can pass it once, you can pass it the second or third time. The apprenticeship examination is really not difficult for a formal magician.
In some areas, the apprentices are free to make their own decisions. As much as they say, the new branch will register.
It’s not that there have never been apprentices who lied about their qualifications as magicians. In fact, there are many liars who use this trick. However, it does not mean that the apprentice's combat effectiveness will definitely be inferior to that of a formal magician. At the moment of life and death, the coffin will only contain the dead person, not necessarily the apprentice. After all, the masters judge heroes based on their actual success or failure in combat.
But in general, it is still difficult for magic apprentices to obtain formal magician qualifications from other branches. It may depend on luck, you may be challenged, but it's not that easy. So the two girls were not anxious at all.
Teachers in the past would struggle with what level of assessment the two apprentices had to pass by a certain deadline in order to get the little subsidy from the Magicians Association.
Teachers no longer look down upon that little money, so there is no need to force the two apprentices to develop. What's more, as they get older, they are no longer children who need someone to supervise them from behind; if they don't have self-awareness, their achievements in this life will stop here. So someone just let the cows graze.
Returning to her wandering journey, the crazy girl with blond hair is still the same as in the past year, running around all over the mountains and plains, as if she has endless energy. The task of driving was taken over by Kaya.
The former Demon King still looked like a golden skeleton. He stayed beside the coffin all day long, as if he was analyzing something. But she didn't ask for help, and no one would approach her. Mainly because I got in on it myself and most of the time I couldn't understand what she was doing.
Kaya, who likes to do things quietly, had already sorted out the messy world map of the Lost Continent, using her free time in the previous year. Even so, there are still more blank parts of the map than known parts. The vast expanses of unexplored wilderness illustrate that the world still contains untold dangers.
However, walking on the main road outside the Basque Country, you can see caravans coming and going from time to time, and mercenaries serving as escorts. No intelligent monster would take this path. If there were just a few scattered beasts, they wouldn't be enough for these blood-licking mercenaries to sacrifice.
The caravan's guards mainly guard against people who often come and go. The more common ones are orcs or gnoll gangs, and centaur horse thieves. On the contrary, goblins from the Tumor of the Earth rarely appear. This is because those green-skinned dwarfs only bully rural villagers, and they are in trouble when they encounter fully armed soldiers.
Centaurs and gnolls can be said to be the most keen on robbing among the orcs. The former is the advantage of mobility, which allows them to choose the most relaxed lifestyle; the latter can be said to be a matter of nature.
So when Halumi ran back and said there was a fight ahead, Lin's first thought was robbery.
In line with the principle of drawing out a sword to help when the road is rough, Lin asked Kaya to drive towards the location indicated by Halumi to see if there was anyone he could help with.
It was a bandit gang composed mainly of orcs, mixed with humans and jackals, and they were besieging the human caravan. The two parties fought fiercely, and it seemed that some people fell to the ground, not knowing whether to live or die. The beast of burden pulling the cart was either dead or ran away. There were several overturned cars, and the goods were scattered all over the place.
However, looking at the situation, the gang of robbers still had the upper hand. There were not many human guards left to fight, and the Chamber of Commerce members who were not wearing armor were mostly killed or wounded. It can be said that if the bandits exert a little more force, they will be able to wipe out the remaining resistance of the caravan.
However, these orcs and half-orcs are much more sensitive to danger than ordinary humans. Fen may not have publicized her existence, but in the senses of certain races, her mere appearance set off some kind of inexplicable warning signal. The half-orc who seemed to be the leader among the bandits quickly discovered the appearance of Lin and his party. Of course, the four carriages were too conspicuous, and it was impossible to ignore them.
Lin originally wanted to help the caravan and attack the bandits from behind. But the carriage carrying goods was not used to rush into the battle, and Lin didn't think that untying these horses and letting the magicians play cavalry roles would bring much combat effectiveness. So they got out of the car and quickly made preparations, watching eagerly.
It's a pity that when someone just showed up, the robbers made a sudden decision and ran away without even bothering to clean up the body of their companion.
Of course, Lin wouldn't think that his aura was too strong, forcing the bandits to escape. The golden skeleton next to him was the key. Regardless of whether the group of bandits mistook themselves for a necromancer with a golden skeleton warrior, or realized that the golden skeleton was the greatest threat, they chose to retreat immediately.
Moreover, there has been an indescribable weird atmosphere around the former Demon King recently, which makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes, not to mention these very sensitive thieves.
Being able to resolve the matter without fighting can be said to be the best ending. Lin also took a breath. Although I hope that I will no longer be afraid of things, I am not so stubborn that I will take the initiative to touch everything with my head. That is called stupidity, not bravery.
"Ah! They ran away, chase them quickly!"
ah! There is a hard-headed fool here. That crazy girl Halumi chased after the bandits in the direction of retreat.
