Chapter 275 Not only did he not stay, he also took people away
"It's just that, no matter what, it's not my character to sit in charge."
Even though he knew almost nothing about the enemy, Abes was determined not to stay in Fort Carter.
After saying that he was leaving, Alvin indeed expressed his incomprehension.
The general meaning is, he has sincerely sworn to give everything, so why do you still want to leave?
In this regard, Abes also gave his own explanation.
"The revenge of the witches usually doesn't come so quickly, and the Shirai Tea House is located on a highway. Even if they really want revenge, they won't necessarily set their sights on you, Carterburg."
"Besides, just a ghost woman who seemed to have a conflict with our gathering has already caused us such a disaster. Do you dare to continue to wait for disaster to come like this?"
The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. If I continue to sit there, I might want to stand up and find that a dragnet has been set and a knife is on my neck.
“So, in this case, I need to take the initiative.”
"The only difference is that when I dealt with Aunt Wanna, I knew where she was with the information you provided, so I could go straight to Huang Long."
"And now, I want to fight against an entire gathering of hags. I don't know where they are. I'm afraid it will take some time to find them."
"The current idea is to move closer to places with magic and spirituality."
Of course, this is the apparent statement.
In fact, Abes will take the opportunity to move deeper into the western area of the small kingdom of Wommza.
See if there is a marquisate with fully formed ruling power.
And if the time is right, he might be able to cooperate with his lizardman warriors who are ready to move north from the south, and jointly take down the large and small forces in the west.
To completely pacify the entire small kingdom.
It’s just that, thinking about it in your heart is one thing, but you can’t show it out loud.
Therefore, Alvin remained silent when he heard these words.
In the eyes of this veteran, such an order was even more frightening than the impromptu response issued by his superiors.
Isn't this just groping in the dark?
"No, there are still some traces to follow. I am not completely without clues. At least we can start with where Aunt Vanna came from."
Abes stretched out a finger and pointed at Bai Renchou who was standing silently at the side.
And at this point, everyone finally realized that Aunt Vanna's beginnings did not begin in the Shirai Tea House.
This white-haired, wolf-eyed "knight" wielding two swords was the work of Aunt Wanna from earlier times.
"We need to go back to the village that you first remembered."
"But before that, there is another more obvious point. Don't ignore it."
As he spoke, Abes pulled a simple map of the surrounding area from in front of Ivan.
"I remember where you heard about the female sage in the Baijing Tea House? Do you remember what exactly you heard at that time?"
Through this wave of on-demand streaming from Abes.
Bai Renchou also repeated the words he had just mentioned.
"I was in a nearby town, and heard that a female sage helped solve the [Brulan family's] troubles... Huh?"
Abes's iron gauntlet slammed on the table, making some noise.
"Yes, that's it. Our first target can be the Breland family."
"We need to find out exactly how a ghost woman helped a poor noble family. What kind of help did she do?"
----------
The Breland family, the main family was originally located in the Mud City.
Ten years ago, General Paddy, who was promoted from the border army, used him as a stepping stone to enter the political circle because he had made a big fuss about standing on the side of the eldest prince.
The people of the Breland family were killed silently overnight.
It was for this reason that Bad Genia, who was just an ordinary noble at the time, wanted to surrender when he heard about General Paddy.
Fortunately, General Paddy, who looked down on the Dead Sea, did not agree to the surrender of Bad, who had already climbed to the position of lord of Mud City.
This forced the Slime City to cooperate with Abes, which had already taken over the royal capital.
It was this wrong move, coupled with the fact that General Paddy was controlled by the Supreme Being, that allowed Abes, who was penniless and even had a "playing game" mentality, to take over the most important capital area and the most important northeast corner of the small kingdom of Wommza.
Let’s get back to the story of the House of Breland. It now has only one branch located in the northwest, which survived because of the “kindness” of King Robert the Younger when he ascended the throne.
Originally, it should have been a family that had no intersection with Abes.
His size meant that he was unlikely to influence the outcome of the war in the small kingdom of Wommza.
In other words, he was not qualified to be a chess player on par with Abes, who had already integrated the northeastern region of the small kingdom.
But just when Abes went to the Mud City in person to get the rare medicinal materials needed for the griffin's operation, a group of extraordinary wanderers belonging to the Breland family appeared there.
And they attacked Abes and his men who had "intruded".
As a result, there are also differences among extraordinary people.
They encountered Abes and Hyonagi, the two strongest fighters at that time. These stupid thieves entered the prison of the royal capital with one dead and five captured.
After that, although he was released by the Supreme Being to interfere with the unification of the capital, he was ultimately unable to cause any waves.
There are many doubts throughout the process.
First of all, why would the branch family send people to this obviously deserted main house?
Abes searched around the place for a long time and determined that this should be a medical room of the Breland family in the past. He then transferred all the usable medicines, herbs and medical tools to Matthew.
But other than that, nothing else was discovered.
Secondly, according to the relevant information available in the royal capital, how could the Breland family, with a small population, a small territory, and an extremely ordinary and sluggish business, afford to support six extraordinary people? The team that Abes currently has in the royal capital only has this number.
The reason why it is called support rather than temporary employment.
This was because they had equipped these men with weapons bearing the Breland family crest, in accordance with the custom of the nobility.
Moreover, these people obviously know how to advance and retreat. You can tell at a glance that they have been trained together, and they are not a temporary team of adventurers formed temporarily to make money and take on commissions.
With these doubts in mind, Abes had already decided that one of the destinations he must pass by after entering the western region of the small kingdom of Wommza would be the Breland family.
Later, when he heard the information about the witch in Bai Renchou's memory and the mention of the Breland family, Abes was even more secretly happy.
Because in this way, I might be able to solve these troubles in one go without having to hide and make excuses for my actions.
"That's right, that's where we're going."
----------
"So, knowing that there was danger all around, you didn't want to leave a few behind, but you took two with you?"
Ivan said pitifully, but unfortunately, this begging expression on his rough and beast-like face only made people feel scary.
What Abes wanted to take away were naturally Sauron and Bai Renchou.
When searching for Bai Renchou's memory, he would naturally have to be taken with him.
As for Sauron, since he holds the Heart Stone, it is also for safety reasons to take it along.
Although Soran said that he could directly give the black jade, which was the heart stone that the Night Witch needed, to Qian Zhongzhan and the others to carry.
But Abes refused.
"Magical things are not something you can easily escape from like this."
"Since Aunt Vanna has stipulated that it will only count if you return it voluntarily and proactively, then handing it over to me like this may not save you from the risk of being targeted."
As for the other reason, Abes did not mention it.
This hunter, nicknamed Little Phoenix, has a natural control over time.
In this world, anecdotes and peculiar behaviors often represent a hint of talent.
As luck would have it, there is a rare branch in the wizard's path, which is entangled with the power of time.
That's time magic.
The Follow of Time has focused the mages of the lineage on manipulating time, and they have learned how to rewrite the flow of reality to suit their own whims.
Harnessing the predictable energies of the Arcana, these wizards can warp the flow of time like a skilled musician playing an instrument, granting themselves and their allies unexpected and perhaps unnoticeable combat advantages in the blink of an eye.
Soran has been able to do this since his first appearance. Through precise time calculation, he guided the ogre team to encounter Qian Zhongshan's team, in order to test whether they have the power to solve the problem.
Although the association is a bit far-fetched, in this world, we always have to hold out hope that such things will happen by coincidence.
The only problem is that a time magic wizard is still a wizard after all.
But becoming a mage is not that easy.
Mages, known as arcane scholars, are given titles such as scholars, wise men, and sages because people who want to master the mysteries of magic need to continue researching and exploring.
On the surface, spellcasting is as simple as reciting some strange words, sometimes making gestures or requiring some special materials, but behind this appearance lies professional knowledge that can only be acquired through years of apprenticeship and countless hours of research.
They gain experience and learn new spells through experimentation, sometimes learning from other wizards, or studying from ancient tomes and inscriptions, or even seeking advice from some ancient creatures who are proficient in magic.
The keyword for a mage has never been repeated abuse or free play like that of a warlock, but learning.
And learning takes time.
Logically speaking, even if Soran was very talented, and even if Abes took Soran with him now and kept in touch with Bingnai along the way to teach him, it would not be possible to train a wizard in just a few days.
Therefore, there should be no need to bring Sauron along in such a forceful way.
However, some technical breakthroughs made Abes finally choose to keep this "little phoenix" by his side.
----------
The technological breakthrough came from the royal capital.
As early as when they first met, Hyo Nagi said that Kronos possessed excellent talents.
With some guidance, perhaps the other party will be able to embark on the path of a wizard and enter the extraordinary stage.
However, because Kronos is more talented in rune group, and in a short period of time, the magic industry system centered around the rune group has indeed produced amazing achievements that cannot be matched by becoming a wizard.
Magic grenade, magic shell, magic blast furnace;
Magic arm armor, magic bomb, magic radio...
The birth of each achievement makes Bingnag, the veteran wizard, feel a sense of jealousy and envy.
Later, after becoming familiar with Kronos and Abes, Hyogi realized.
The daughter of the Mels family, her talent is not in being a wizard, her talent is clearly in being a priest - it's just that her god is not hanging high in the sky, but walking among the people.
She is a fanatical believer of Abes.
And willing to make the most practical choice for Abes Grande.
Therefore, after she learned about her talent from me, she did not start learning immediately, but stopped after learning enough to use and activate the rune set to a slight degree.
Only now, with Lord Abes personally away on the expedition, Kronos's work was gradually coming to an end.
It was at this time that Kronos began to consider Hyoanagi's proposal.
The proposal to learn how to become a mage and step into the realm of transcendence.
It was at this time that the girl from the Mels family gave Bing Nagi another surprise.
----------
As a student of arcane magic, a wizard usually has his own spellbook.
It can reflect the results of your arcane research and also represent your new breakthrough in understanding the nature of the multiverse.
Mages can prepare and use a certain number of spells from their spellbooks.
Every time a new spell is learned, mages can copy it into their spellbooks.
When transcribing a spell, wizards must first reconstruct the basic formula of the spell and then decipher the unique symbology used by the wizard who transcribed the spell.
In other words, the process actually requires wizards to practice the spell repeatedly until they fully understand the required incantations and gestures, and finally copy them into the spellbook using your own symbol system.
Surprisingly, once a spell book is lost, you can only copy the spells you have prepared into a new spell book.
To fill the rest of the spellbook you will need to find new spells yourself.
Therefore, many mages like to keep backup spellbooks in a safe place.
Therefore, many mages often make a joke that you are not a mage, your spell book is.
And Kronos seemed to believe this joke.
She said, "Sister Hiinagi, please let me use the rune set to copy your spellbook. This may help me become a mage quickly."
