Chapter 29 The Taste of Contempt
When Han Shuo and his party of twelve arrived at the city gate, they were shocked by the majestic gate of Zakius City. The entire city gate is extremely magnificent, and all of them are piled up with the strongest rocks. I don't know if those rocks are stained with too much blood, and the color seems to be sprayed with blood to dark brown.
On the city wall tens of meters high, there are densely packed iron-blooded soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. All kinds of defensive measures can be seen everywhere on the city wall.
Looking at the city gate from a distance, it looks like the bloody mouth of a huge monster with fangs that devours everything. Some sharp barbs, like sharp teeth in the mouth of a monster, are filled in all directions of the city wall. The cold light on the barbs shines brightly under the sunlight, giving people an extremely violent deterrent effect.
The two giant black gates, forged with unknown means, have now been opened. The gates of the city are extremely wide, enough for a dozen or so people to ride side by side on horseback. Now the gate is very crowded, huge and strange magical beasts, filled with various materials and people, slowly pass through the gate and walk out of the city.
This kind of monster is huge in size, bigger than any beast Han Shuo has ever seen. It is five meters high and more than ten meters long. Its skin is dark brown. Its head is somewhat similar to that of an elephant. A curved white tusk, the tusk alone is one meter long.
"This is an earth dragon, a relatively docile monster. The earth dragon is easy to tame. It is slow but can carry heavy loads. It is the main means of transportation in the empire. Merchants use the earth dragon to transport heavy objects and conduct trade in various places. Seeing many students, Fanny looked at Dilong in amazement, and couldn't help explaining with a smile.
"Teacher Fanny, look at them. I'll go to the officer's office to register and borrow a few horses. Otherwise, I'm sure I won't be able to reach Doro Town before dark on foot." Gene looked at Fanny with sparkling eyes. , said with a smile, his eyes fell on Fanny's beautiful face, and he never moved away for a moment.
Jean's feelings for Fanny are well known in the entire Undead Department, and Fanny herself knows it very well, but she has never expressed anything. Gene is not in a hurry, and seems to have the idea of impressing Fanny with sincerity, and often uses some opportunities to express his love. Long-term affectionate gaze is one of his consistent ways.
Han Shuo looked at Gene's undisguised gaze, and couldn't help cursing inwardly. In Han Shuo's heart, Fanny had already become his personal belonging. He was naturally upset that others were peeping at Fanny in front of him. But now he is just a handyman, and his strength is not strong enough to show it, so although he is upset, it is not easy to attack.
"Well, you go, I will take good care of them." Fanny agreed with a light smile, avoiding Jin's fiery gaze, looking away at the magnificent city wall, feeling emotional One sentence: "Although I have seen it many times, every time I come here again, I will be proud of the Zakius City Gate. Come back with success."
Han Shuo was carrying various items on his back, and his body was almost completely submerged by the items. After everyone stopped at this time, Han Shuo didn't stop completely. He stood up straight after bending his legs, his wrists were rising and falling repeatedly, and he kept repeating the boring movements.
"Bryan, what are you doing?" Amy stood next to Han Shuo, saw piles of objects shaking on Han Shuo's body, couldn't help but looked at Han Shuo, and asked in surprise.
When Amy said this, the others also noticed Han Shuo's movements, and they also focused their attention on Han Shuo, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"It's nothing, my body is a little sore, I'll feel better if I move around!" Han Shuo said flatly, with a naive expression on his face, it seemed that he was really a little silly.
"Stupid, be careful, the things you're carrying are all valuables. If you accidentally break them, you won't be able to compensate even if you are sold." Bella frowned,
Said coldly.
"Bella, you are an idiot. Those items are so strong that they are not so easy to break. No one let him carry the really precious and easy-to-break things." Lisa gave Bella a disdainful look and said sarcastically.
"You two don't keep arguing. Every time you go out for a trial, you will encounter some big or small dangers. You should be united, otherwise there will be problems along the way." Fanny saw Lisa and Bella Arguing again, I couldn't help frowning to persuade.
Han Shuo completely ignored Bella's cold words, and continued to do boring and repetitive movements. These movements are not left over from Chu Canglan's magic skills, but the methods of exercising muscles that Han Shuo has seen before. In order to continuously improve himself and surpass the "solid" realm, Han Shuo seized all the time to do it. Exercise yourself.
After a while, Gene returned empty-handed with an ugly face, and when he came to Fanny's side, Gene said angrily: "Damn it, they asked us for money!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Fanny Dai frowned, and said in surprise: "Our Babylon Academy of Magic and Martial Arts is the cradle of knights, warriors and magicians of the Empire. Every year, we have cultivated so many talents for the empire. Even this Zakius Many of the officers and magicians stationed in the city are from our Babylon School of Magic and Martial Arts, the academy has an agreement with Zakius City, how dare they not lend us war horses?"
"It turned out that I said I was from the Babylon School of Magic and Martial Arts. The officer planned to lend us a war horse. After I showed the proof, he saw that we were from the Undead Department, and he made a mockery and began to ask me for fifty gold coins. He said that he would not lend us the war horse if he did not give gold coins, and that our undead department had not sent any talents to the empire, so we should not enjoy free treatment." Gene said angrily.
Hearing what he said, the students were all in the same hatred, shouting angrily, wanting to settle accounts with the officer. It seems that the feeling of being despised by others is indeed very uncomfortable. These students have already felt a little wronged when they entered the declining Undead Department. Now it is difficult to suppress the anger in their hearts when they are so ignored.
"Forget it, take fifty gold coins out of the funds and give it to him. These officers have lived here for a long time, and our Undead Department has indeed declined, and our status in the Babylon School of Magic and Martial Arts is also low. It is inevitable that they will be despised by them. When I return After the academy, I will report this matter to the dean, and it is better not to have disputes with them now." Fanny shook her head, persuaded everyone with a sad face, and then said to Gene.
As soon as Fanny said this, Jean first disagreed, saying that the arrogance of these arrogant soldiers should not be indulged in this way. But after Fanny persuaded him a few words, he shook his head and sighed, took fifty gold coins from Fanny's hand in a dejected manner, and walked towards the corner of the city gate.
Han Shuo observed several people, then looked at Fanny with a sad face, and couldn't help but stare at the officer from a distance, secretly thinking that one day, the undead system will be in his hands, reappearing the glory of the past, making the undead The prestige of the mage once again made people fearful.
"Don't be discouraged. When the undead magic was brilliant, no one dared to underestimate it. It's just that there was a period of time before, when the undead magic was squeezed by all factions. It is said that there was a magic war, which caused heavy casualties for the undead mages. Many powerful spells It was lost, which caused the decline of undead magic.
This time we went to the dark forest to explore, because I heard that a death cemetery was found in it. It is said that the death cemetery used to be the place where a magician who studied the magic of the undead stayed many years ago. If we can find the death Graveyard, get the undead magic books inside, maybe it can change the status quo of our undead system. Seeing that the students were all downcast, Fanny couldn't help comforting her.
Hearing Fanny's words, everyone's expressions were shocked, and each of them had expressions of surprise and surprise on their faces. It seemed that they were planning to face this trial of going out.
Seeing the excitement of these people, Fanny sighed for no reason, secretly thought that although there was news that the cemetery was discovered, the person who found it died not long after walking out of the cemetery.
The Gloomy Forest is vast, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find the graveyard of death in it. Even she herself has no hope. What's more, if such a place is really discovered, there will inevitably be many adventurers rushing to it. At that time, with the strength of twelve of them, it is simply not realistic to get what they need from the death cemetery of.
After saying these words, Fanny is just trying to comfort everyone. The main goal this time is to test the students' undead magic and help them understand magic knowledge in the outside world.
"Hey, isn't this a person from the Undead Department? Are you going to explore too? Hehe, why are you standing here?" Just as the Undead Department members were thinking secretly, a coquettish voice came from a distance.
I saw Irene, the Light Department student I saw last time, several students and teachers from the Light Department, and the knight Claude who pursued her hard, riding a tall war horse, "stepping" from a distance. Come.
"It's up to you, be careful not to fall off the horse." Lisa gave Irene a disdainful look, and cursed coldly.
"Heck, I see, you must have not borrowed war horses. Hey, it's no wonder, your undead department has not made any contribution to the empire at all, and it is of course not appropriate to use the resources of the empire for free. , haha!" Irene giggled coquettishly, her holy face full of ridicule.
Although Lisa and the others were angry, what Lisa said was the truth, she could only grit her teeth and sulk, but couldn't find any rebuttal words to fight back.
"Hello, Teacher Fanny." Biqier, a senior magician who is a teacher of the Department of Light, rode on a horse and gestured towards Fanny with a smile.
"You are like Qier, are you going to explore the dark forest too?" Fanny replied with a smile, and said lightly.
"Yes, we plan to go to the Dark Forest to help the nearby villages hunt and kill those monsters that often make trouble, share some pressure for the empire, and take this opportunity to exercise the students' ability to use magic. Hehe, let's go first, see you when we have a chance !" Biqier said politely, but Han Shuo still sensed a trace of contempt in his eyes, as if he looked down on his group.
After Biqier and other people from the light department roared past on tall horses, then Jin came with six war horses. These war horses are obviously not as good as those used by the students of the light department just now in terms of physique and quantity. It seems that even if they spend an extra fifty gold coins, the undead department still cannot get equal treatment.
However, there are twelve people in the Undead Department, but there are only six war horses, so two people have to sit on one horse together. The students looked at me and I looked at you, each of them quickly found a ride partner, only Han Shuofan, Fanny, Jean and Buck were left, but they couldn't find a ride partner.
"Buck, you and Brian will sit on the same horse, and I will sit on the same horse with Teacher Fanny." Gene rolled his eyes, and immediately beaming with joy, he said to Buck with a smile.
"No, I definitely won't share a war horse with this filthy handyman." Buck yelled out dissatisfied with Han Shuo's enmity.
Everyone knows Jin's intentions, and now is a good opportunity to get close to Fanny. Hearing Buck's call, he was about to speak angrily, when Fanny suddenly smiled and said, "Since Buck doesn't want to, then Brian can share a ride with me."
"Hehe, thank you, Teacher Fanny, I'm here!" Han Shuo was overjoyed, happily passed Jean, and walked quickly towards Fanny.
