Chapter 346: Chapter 340, Freeze l
Mullen looked at the rough clay bottle in Fang Hao’s hand, opened his backpack, and took out a glass bottle with an elixir.
“Drink this!” Mullen said.
Fang Hao wasn’t seriously injured, but he had consumed a considerable amount of magical power.
After examining the healing potion in Mullen’s hand, he shook his head and gave a signal to Hoyle.
Hoyle was the leader of this team, and in the future, Mullen would rely more on Hoyle’s protection.
He was not far away, dressing wounds while commanding the soldiers to take action.
The cost of producing the healing potion was pretty high, so it was difficult for ordinary soldiers or leaders to own such a potion.
Mullen immediately understood Fang Hao’s intention, and quietly said, “Thank you, Commander Hoyle, for saving me just now.”
At the same time, he handed over the healing potion he held in his hand.
Hoyle turned around and looked at Mullen somewhat surprised.
He didn’t expect Mullen to express gratitude.
When he saw Fang Hao sitting next to Mullen, it seemed that he understood something.
“Thankyou, young master Mullen.” Hoyle softly expressed his gratitude, received the potion from him, and turned back to continue commanding the clearance of the battlefield.
The injured parties had been bandaged up, but the team still couldn’t stop moving.
They needed to reach the city before dusk.
Otherwise, the heavy night rain would claim the injured’s lives.
The team set off again, helping each other and moving towards the fortress city.
The horses and carts had been damaged in the recent battle, so Mullen could only follow them with his injuries.
Fortunately, after taking the healing potion, his injuries had significantly improved.
“Mr. Fang Hao, I didn’t expect you to be a mage.” Mullen quickened his pace and walked beside Fang Hao.
“Just some basic magic.” Fang Hao replied.
“How did you manage to cast three types of elemental magic?” Mullen seemed to have recovered from the recent danger, and started to make conversation again.
“I didn’t have a formal magic teacher, so I had to learn various basic magic piecemeal. I got to where I am because of this incidental learning.” Fang Hao expressed this in a way that was easy to understand.
He naturally didn’t have a magic teacher. The skills he had learned had all been from the scrolls he randomly got and studied by himself.
He seldom used magic in his daily life, and he didn’t consider himself proficient.
But in Mullen’s eyes, he was close to being a genius.
“Mr. Fang Hao, once I become a qualified city lord, I will find you a formal teacher for magic study.” Mullen said.
“Okay.” Fang Hao did not say much and smiled in agreement.
After the task was done, they would leave this place. They wouldn’t wait for Mullen to become a city lord or for him to find a magic teacher for Fang Hao.
The team continued moving forward.
Mullen went and chatted with Zhang Bin for a while.
He returned to Fang Hao and excitedly said, “Mr. Fang Hao, do you also have a city?”
He must have learned from his conversation with Zhang Bin that Fang Hao also had a territory.
“Yes.” Fang Hao didn’t hide the fact. Although what he had was not a city, but a territory.
It was much larger than his father’s.
After getting confirmation from Fang Hao, Mullen began rummaging through his backpack.
He took out a notebook with a brown leather cover from inside and handed it to Fang Hao, “This is for you. It will be helpful for your future city management.” Fang Hao was surprised and took it instinctively.
(Mullen’s City Lord’s Summary]
[Category: Special Item]
[Effect: City Law and Order Governance +5%, Population Fertility +5%, Food/Industrial Production +5, Military +2%.]
(Description: Learning and reflecting on the ‘previous generation’s’ efforts will bring you closer to your set goals.)
An item?
Fang Hao casually flipped through the notebook. The densely packed words on the pages recorded decisions and feats of successful lords and city lords.
It was filled from cover to cover.
“Did you write all this?” Fang Hao asked in astonishment.
This notebook unexpectedly had many properties. If it were to be rated, it would probably be a purple level treasure.
“I copied it from books. After reading many books, I recorded what I felt was useful.” Mullen replied with an awkward smile.
“So, if you give it to me, what will you do?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“I have memorized it. I’ve gone through it countless times on this journey. I hope it will be of help to you.” Mullen said confidently.
It looks like the preparation that Mullen had mentioned previously referred to this notebook.
Mullen didn’t know Fang Hao’s background, but at least he himself was of noble birth and had the chance to look at those books.
Fang Hao had already shown the talent of a mage, but didn’t even have the opportunity to find a magic teacher.
The city he managed was probably a small peripheral city.
This notebook could possibly make up for the lack of knowledge Fang Hao had.
All these were Mullen’s assumptions, and they seemed quite accurate.
“Okay, thank you. I’ll take it then.” Fang Hao directly accepted the notebook.
This summary of the city lord was a good treasure. Its effect was quite similar to his own White Bone Throne.
It would take effect once placed in the territory, and didn’t need to be an equipped item.
On passing through the dense forest,
They could see the silhouette of a city in the distance.
That was their destination: the Nasborg.
After traveling for ten more minutes, they found a river several meters wide before them.
A stone bridge, four meters in width, connected the banks.
On the other end of the bridge, they could see soldiers waiting in strict formation and roadblocks and checkpoints set up.
