Erica started preparing everything early.
During these days, she has been learning about the northern frontier of the empire.
There are two relatively powerful forces in the northern border of the empire. One is the Delin family, a knight family that guards the northern border of the empire.
The other is a powerful group composed of mages and magicians, called the 'Pale Magicians'.
The Magisterium is located further north than the Delin family.
It already belongs to the Arctic Icefield, an extremely cold place.
That land is covered with heavy snow all year round, and there is even a group of barbarian humans living in the depths who are not afraid of the severe cold.
Those barbarians whose physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people are called "evil beasts".
'Evil beasts' often invade the territory of the empire, burning, killing, and looting villages and towns on the edges, doing all kinds of evil.
Therefore, the empire's defense policy in the northern frontier is aimed at those barbarians.
And what Erica is going to is the Mage Alliance in the far north, near the snowfields of the Far North.
She will train there for two months.
"Are you ready, Erica?"
Her father's voice sounded outside the door, and Erica hurriedly replied.
"Yes, Father."
Erica is ready for everything.
In the last fantasy, she challenged Victor.
Victor's devastatingly powerful magic power did not make Erica fall into long-term depression and despair. Instead, it made her more competitive and yearning.
She longs even more to become a powerful mage like Professor Victor.
"I'm ready to go."
…
Erica was wearing a cloak, riding on a horse, carrying a heavy bag, and followed the team of magicians.
The orderly army of magicians on horseback surrounded Erica in a circle and marched slowly towards the north.
Dozens of magicians have considerable strength. Erica only needs to follow those experienced magicians to reach the Pale Magic Order.
Even if the team takes a shortcut, they still have to travel nearly a thousand kilometers.
So they have to hurry up.
The harsh terrain of the shortcut made it impossible for Erica to sit safely in the carriage and be a young lady.
So Erica learned to ride a horse.
It's actually very simple, for a genius like her.
Duke Levi did not come to see Erica off. This departure was also a challenge for Erica on the road.
Although there is no chance of anything happening to Erica under the protection of the Mage Legion, Erica needs to figure out how to deal with the harsh environment on her own.
The team slowly left the royal capital. When they walked a hundred meters, Erica stopped walking. The team just glanced at Erica and continued to move forward.
If this eldest lady regrets this, they will not indulge her.
Erica was riding on horseback, looking at the familiar royal capital with reluctance, a trace of perseverance and determination flowing through her eyes.
'I will definitely become stronger. '
She turned around, put on her hood, and rejoined the group.
Ta, tap, tap....
The chaotic sound of horse hooves got farther and farther, became lighter and lighter, until it completely disappeared into the distant dense forest and could no longer be heard.
Duke Levi looked at the hillside in the distance, with a group of personal guards standing behind him.
He watched Erica leave with no regrets in his eyes.
"My baby, she's grown up."
He always knew what his children needed.
With this extraordinary talent, what she wanted has always been more recognition.
Therefore, she always tries to do things that cannot be successful at this stage.
She wants everyone's approval.
But this is not too ambitious.
"You will get your own opportunities and that great power."
"For you, my child. I shouldn't continue to keep a low profile."
Duke Levi stretched out a hand, and a blue magic power twisted and spun between his wrists.
A stream of air gradually appeared in his palm, and the cloak behind him whistled under the breeze.
The fourth-level magic formation was formed in an instant, and the subordinate mages present could see it at a glance.
Duke Levi at this time.
He also gradually revealed his former edge.
.......
Victor had already made preparations to head north, but this plan had to be put on hold for the time being.
Because Gwen didn't want to go back.
Although she didn’t know why, Liya couldn’t give a reason why Gwen didn’t want to go home.
Victor knew that if Gwen didn't go back, then there would be no point in going to the Delin family himself.
"What do you mean, you're not going?"
Vega raised her head and looked at Victor.
"No. Still going."
Victor said expressionlessly.
Vega was very puzzled, because according to what Victor said, it was entirely because of Gwen that he would agree to the invitation of the Delin family.
But now it seems that Victor has other ideas?
This is natural, Victor explained calmly:
"The far north is the territory of the barbarians."
"But if you go deep into the far north and reach the northernmost border, there is the place I told you about."
Vega suddenly reacted.
Heritage Temple.
"Hey, that's interesting."
"Where are you going?"
Victor said nothing, but his attitude said everything.
Vega pecked the feathers and came up with an idea.
"Then just build a huge teleportation circle like before and just go there directly?"
"Anyway, you know everything. If you go there and come back directly, oh, it's just a quick trip."
Victor shook his head.
"It can't be done."
"The Heritage Temple is a place protected by gods. Those who are not qualified cannot face the temple directly."
"Teleportation magic can't reach there."
Vega narrowed her eyes.
"Then how do you know if you'll qualify?"
"It doesn't matter."
Victor said calmly, as if his eyes had penetrated the space and saw the hidden inheritance temple.
"If I'm not qualified, then force it to think that I am qualified."
"I like what you said."
Vega chuckled and continued:
"But I hope it's not because you were confessed to by a little girl for the first time and didn't know how to react and finally chose to run away."
Victor closed his eyes.
"Vega."
"what?"
"If you still want to cherish your feathers, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."
"cut."
…
Three days later, early in the morning, Victor walked out of the mansion.
Liya followed him and asked worriedly:
"You're just leaving? Don't you need to take anything else with you?"
Victor looked at Liya and asked back.
"What? Are you concerned about me?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm afraid that my mage master will die outside, and it will be troublesome to collect the body."
Liya curled her lips, turned her head and said.
Victor nodded and smiled softly.
"I'll be back after this trip in about half a month."
"I'll let Heni and Kokot take care of the mansion here in the royal capital, so you don't have to worry too much."
Liya waved her hand and hurriedly interrupted Victor.
"I know it without you having to tell me. Okay, okay, let's go quickly."
"I just have to go back to the territory these days, so I don't have much time."
Victor nodded.
"If anything happens, then."
He reached out a hand and tapped Leah's glove.
The gem in the mage's hand shone slightly, and the stored magic power seemed to be stronger.
It was updated and replaced by Victor with a more powerful third-level magic.
"Remember to use it."
"Then I'll be back."
Liya withdrew her hand and looked at the gems on the gloves that seemed to become brighter.
"..."
Her nose felt slightly sore. She shouldn't feel this way.
Obviously Victor was only gone for a few days.
So, she stubbornly turned her head away and stopped looking at Victor.
"It'll be okay."
"Do not worry."
But there was no longer any voice from Victor to respond to her.
When she turned back, she looked forward and where Victor was standing just now.
He has disappeared and left, and there still seems to be a faint magic left in the air.
Liya stood there for a long time.
It was as if he realized that Victor had left.
Turn around and walk towards the house again.
…
Victor waited quietly in front of the crowded magic train platform.
It's very crowded here. I don't know whether it's because the platform is too narrow or because there are too many people.
Magic trains, huge vehicles driven by magic as a source of power, are used to travel to other regional cities in the empire, and even leave the empire.
This behemoth is a magic prop made by Endymion's group of mages far above the sky.
That was an idea put forward by a dwarf councilor. When the idea became feasible and implemented, it took decades to pave the way around the world.
It has finally become the most convenient means of transportation between empires.
But after all, there are only a few people who can afford to ride on this kind of thing. Except for long distances, most people still choose horse-drawn carriages as transportation.
Of course, in the game, the Magic Train is a station for players to travel to other cities.
This is a more reasonable setting in the game. Otherwise, the continent is so big, it would be too reluctant for players to just use the teleportation circle to go where they want to go.
Magic Train is a good choice.
Soon, a train slowly slowing down towards the platform appeared in the distance.
The magic power of the burning magic stone was used as power, and a trembling sound came from the track.
call--!
The train emitted a thick plume of white smoke overhead and slowly stopped in front of Victor.
The train was completely dark, with countless iron wheels hidden under the huge carriages. A huge chimney stood at the front of the train, and the red doors divided the train into sections.
People who see this giant beast for the first time will inevitably think that it is a giant python that can swallow the world.
The ticket Victor booked was for the first-class carriage of this express train.
He was just about to get into the car when a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Hey, Victor!"
Looking back, it was a familiar purple-haired woman.
The other party is Gwen’s eldest sister, Kefla.
Of course Victor remembered her.
Victor stood there and watched Kefla greeting him, trotting over and saying with a smile:
"Are you going to my house?"
"It just so happens that I have to go back, and this is the same train."
She shook the ticket in her hand, and it read -
'Express train, first class'
It was a ticket for the same carriage as Victor.
"Looks like we have to go back together."
