"These fools are so hateful! I finally understand why you human spellcasters are so scarce..." Jesse Ava looked at Lance with contempt.
Lance touched his nose and felt very embarrassed. It was true that ignorant people would always regard naturally awakened spellcasters as demons, because they could not control their awakened magic power and often caused the situation to get out of control. For example, fire spellcasters would inadvertently release their magic power to ignite surrounding objects, and the place where water spellcasters were would become dark and damp. The ignorant people would be afraid of these unknown forces, so they would often privately lynch these newly awakened spellcasters.
"There's no way. Ordinary people can't access these things. It's not surprising that this situation occurs in a village without noble leadership. The saddest thing is that most villages don't have nobles to lead them." Lance sighed. The Middle-earth now is not the Middle-earth in the game. The lord of each village is at least a lord. How can the ignorant villagers understand the details of the professionals?
"It's really speechless. By the way, what are you going to do with this girl?" Jessie Ava shrugged helplessly. Indeed, the lack of education made ordinary people dull. They would only resist these uncontrollable natural awakeners based on the fear deep in their hearts.
"Take her with us. When we get to Rohan, we'll test her talent and then decide what career she should choose." Lance shook his head. As for leaving this girl here... why save her?
…
"Hmm..." The girl lying on the hay mat opened her eyes and murmured.
"Hey? You're awake." Jesse Ava, who was sitting next to him, gave a smile that he thought was very friendly.
"Ah~!" The shrill scream hit everyone's eardrums.
Lance lifted the door curtain and rushed in: "What's going on?"
Then he saw the girl who was huddled in the corner with her blanket rolled up and shivering, and Jesse Ava who looked confused.
"Monster... There is a monster?" The girl spoke quickly when she saw that the person coming was a human she was familiar with, hoping that Lance could drive it away.
"Uh, girl, you misunderstood. He is my friend. Don't worry, he won't hurt you!" Lance said affirmatively while encouraging the girl with his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a goblin king. I won't eat children!" Seeing the girl's suspicious look, Jesse Ava felt deeply hurt! This damned bard had made up the goblins into man-eating monsters. Although people in the city knew it was nonsense, it still had a lot of appeal to the country folk!
"Hello, Mr. Goblin..." the girl said timidly.
"Hello, lucky girl!" Jessie Ava said kindly. This girl was indeed very lucky. First, she had successfully crossed the chasm between ordinary people and professionals. Second, she happened to meet Lance and his group just when she was about to be killed. She was really lucky!
"Girl, can you tell me your name?" Lance asked in a low voice.
"My Lord Knight, my name is Nina Bonn, you can call me Nina..." Nina said timidly.
"Okay Nina, but I'm not a knight, I'm a warrior, you can call me Lance." Lance was amused by Nina's cautiousness.
"You probably can't stay here anymore. Come with us from now on. We will provide you with the most suitable career plan..." Lance rubbed her head, feeling happy in his heart. After all, anyone would be happy to pick up a spellcaster for free.
"Have a good rest, we will leave here tomorrow!" Lance waved at him and took Jessie Ava out of her tent.
"Okay, my lord, what are your plans for tomorrow?" After entering Lance's tent, Jesse Ava immediately started to tease him in a sarcastic tone.
"Okay, let's go back and take a boat south to Argonas, then go by land around the Lagasse Falls and see if we can find a boat down the river." Lance spread out the blurry map and said lightly.
"Aren't you leaving Rohan?" asked Jesse Ava.
"I calculated that with the supplies we successfully obtained this time and the food we already had, we can march for nearly ten days! In these ten days, we should be able to find a Rohan village along the river. That way, we won't have to travel by land, which is too slow!" Lance rubbed his brow. Who knows what will happen to the heavy cavalry under high-intensity marching? After all, these iron cans don't have the benefits of riding two or three horses. Of course, Roland can't afford it. Whether in wartime or peacetime, the price of war horses is always desperate. Even if Roland can get some for free from the system all day, it won't help. After all, the gap in war horses is too big!
"That's a good idea. Good night, I'm going to rest!" Jesse Ava took off his hat and bowed slightly. After saluting Lance, he slowly walked back to his tent.
The night in early spring was very deep. Apart from a few hidden Lordaeron rangers, there were only some heavy cavalrymen on patrol and guard. Even when resting in the village, Lance still arranged the night defense according to the lowest intensity of war.
…
"So, Your Highness, you don't plan to say anything?" Yun Feng leaned forward with his hands on the table, staring at Roland with a bad look.
"Ahem, I saw that the magic items in stock were running low, so I went to your place to get some..." Roland lied with his eyes open.
"A little? Billions of points! Not only did you empty my potion reserves, and took away the best weapons, but you took away all the spellcaster training resources. That's too much!" Yun Feng said viciously. After he came out of the alchemy experiment, he found that not only his "high ground" was lost, but even his "crystal" was stolen!
"Your Highness, I'm not saying anything bad about you. It's your business if you like Grand Duke Nyx, but it's too much for you to use my things to please her!" Yun Feng was so upset that he wanted to cry but had no tears left. Roland had taken away all those precious cultivation potions, magic potions that helped with meditation, and strange items.
"Hehe, you are already a sixth-level wise man and have already stood at the top of the profession. Why are you competing with that little girl for resources?" Roland said with pretended contempt.
"Don't I need to maintain my own state? Do you need a girl of your dreams with talent and potential, or a sixth-level sage who can cast forbidden spells at any time with the help of magical artifacts?" Yun Feng's expression was unkind. Although he wasn't a spellcaster known for his combat prowess, he could still use his profound understanding of elemental power to unleash a complete forbidden spell with the help of external objects! (Alchemist: My lack of combat prowess is only relative. If you piss me off, the ultimate sage can still cast a forbidden spell on you!)
"Huh?" Roland's eyes widened. He had never imagined that the Sage, a black hole of magic, could use external objects to cast forbidden spells. Are forbidden spells so worthless now? Roland couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed with the strict conditions for casting forbidden spells.
