Broad World

As an ordinary person who lacks talent, Skodi does not have a clear concept of supernatural power. However, this did not prevent her from seeing some clues from the attitudes of the people around her, especially the priests of the temples. Recently, they not only sent a lot of gifts, but also tried every means to win her to attend some important ceremonies in the temple.

Now even a fool can see that all the temples on the island are actively fighting for the faith of her lord wife. The most outrageous of these was the church of the Goddess of Trade and Wealth. They even sent a gold sculpture weighing 500 kilograms, which was said to be an order personally issued by the Bishop of the Holy Coin and the spokesperson of the Goddess, Saranda Orim.

As if overnight, all the temples received orders from the gods, and they all showed 1000% enthusiasm. Even the solemn and staid Heim Temple sent a pair of female armor blessed with divine magic as a gift. Gifts, other temples can be imagined.

Of course, this armor has basically no effect on Skodi. She had done a series of tests a long time ago, and the results showed that whether it is physical fitness, intelligence level, ancestry, comprehension ability, etc., they are basically maintained at an above-average level, which is far from enough to become a professional, unless Being able to let go of everything and concentrate on some martial arts training, maybe after a few years, you can barely become a fighter or a thief.

Obviously, this is really difficult for a pampered woman who has never really suffered. What's more, she has to manage a lot of business and accounts, how can she let it go, so as she grows older, the desire for adventure in her youth gradually becomes cold, and it will disappear after the birth of her two children This thought.

However, the recent abnormal behavior of the temple made Shi Kodi feel that her husband must have done something earth-shattering recently. Although the son has been tight-lipped, but as a mother can tell at a glance.

Looking at Tyrantir's kind face, she asked tentatively: "Master, what do you think Henry is going to do with this large-scale mobilization of the army and the power of the mage tower?"

The old mage smiled and replied: "This is obvious. War, only a real large-scale war, he needs so many people. But don't worry, I believe that since he can get Ai from the hands of the dark elves Lun will come out, and that will definitely win the final victory."

"My God! Another war! Including the one with the sahuagin not long ago, there have been at least four wars this year. Although we have never raised any taxes, the residents on the island have begun to show In addition to war weariness, coupled with a lot of expenses, it is a headache to think about it." Shi Kodi started the complaint mode while talking.

You must know that war is about money. Armor, weapons, food, military pay, pensions, etc., almost nothing is free of money, not to mention the scrolls, storage staffs, and magic equipment used by mages are astronomical. If it weren't for the huge profits from the salt and spice trade, I am afraid that the finances would have been in debt for a long time.

As the hostess, every time she sees the financial statements sent by officials, she will tremble with fear, for fear that there will be astronomical expenditures again. But as the saying goes. The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. Following Henry's order, more than a thousand barbarian warriors in full armor are about to embark on the journey. In addition, the young mage group is about to set off, and they are about to rush to the unknown battlefield with war supplies worth millions of gold coins.

Seeing the pained expression on Shikodi's face, Tyrantier couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "You only saw a lot of money and supplies consumed by the war, but you didn't see the benefits brought by the war Leaving aside how much your rule has expanded, the benefits brought by fame alone are incalculable. Now the entire West Coast residents know that the Angomei family has extremely strong strength, businessmen are willing to come here to do business, and scholars like it Come here to teach, poor people want to find a stable job here, they bring more wealth than you give.”

"Okay. Maybe what you said makes sense, but every time I think of the war, I can't help but feel chills all over my body, as if I have been poured by cold water. Henry will not have any accidents this time? He is the first time from the island It really makes people feel a little worried to transfer so many mages." Shi Kodi frowned slightly while speaking.

She will never forget the great battle that was strewn with corpses not long ago. The blood stained the entire dock area and the warehouse area red. Even after such a long time, the fishermen were unwilling to go fishing. Because they can often see all kinds of bloody floating objects on the sea, not only looks very disgusting. And it stinks.

Just when Tyrantier was about to say a few words of comfort, there was a sudden buzzing sound outside, followed by three giant airships passing slowly over the Lord's Mansion, instantly attracting everyone's attention. In particular, the magic lights hanging on both sides to prevent mid-air collisions are constantly flickering, making the airbags look extraordinarily terrifying. Just like the legendary sea monster whale, hundreds of pterosaurs stood on the side platform to escort. It is densely packed and looks spectacular.

All of a sudden, the officials, nobles, businessmen, and church representatives who came to the banquet began to discuss in low voices, speculating about the reasons why these huge aircraft left the island.

"Are you finally going to do it...Father..." Allen murmured to himself as he watched the large aircraft that was fading away.

From the bottom of his heart, the boy envied those young mages who could participate in this war. If his mother didn't watch too closely, he even wanted to sneak in to see how the mage group works and see the legendary mages. The battle between them will broaden your horizons.

But it's a pity that Shi Kodi, who has always been cautious, could let his son who was just kidnapped out of his sight, so Allen's plan could only be aborted in the end, and he stayed at home honestly. Unless he dares to use some illusions to deceive his mother, but the result of doing so is likely to be grounded for a long time, and the travel plan that has been finalized will be 100% ruined.

"Hey! My dear brother, what are you mumbling about here?" Liv, the younger sister of the twins, suddenly jumped out from a corner and greeted. She was wearing a gorgeous tutu at the moment, with long silver hair hanging around her waist. She looked cute and beautiful, like a princess who came out of a fairy tale, but the sly look in her eyes revealed her mischievous character.

Allen turned his head and smiled at his sister: "It's nothing. I'm thinking about what my father is doing at the moment. What about you, why don't you run over there with your aunt?"

After going through the underground trip, his mind has matured a lot, far surpassing his compatriot sister, so he took the initiative with a single sentence.

Liv tugged at the corners of her skirt in boredom and complained: "I'm so bored, those stupid idiots have been running around my aunt since the beginning. If I wasn't afraid of being reprimanded by my mother, I would have used magic to scare them all away." gone."

"There is no other way. My aunt has reached the age of marriage, and she is beautiful and outstanding enough. It will definitely attract many suitors. But I think these people are wasting their efforts. Didn't you see the corner of my aunt's mouth?" Are you disdainful?" After speaking, Alan lifted up the juice in the glass and took a sip.

Now all the surrounding countries have learned that Henry has a younger sister who can be married to, so many nobles have sent young male heirs to wait in the city of Bluewind, preparing to win the heart of this beautiful lady. Of course, there are also ordinary people and speculators who want to reach the sky in one step.

However, because some time ago, Henry secretly sent his younger sister and two children to High fort to learn magic, so most of them were in vain. Fortunately, Shikodi held this banquet today, otherwise these guys would definitely come in high spirits and return disappointed.

"Maybe, I don't want my aunt to marry too early, otherwise no one will play with us. That's right. My dear brother, can you lend me which book you have hanging around your waist for a few days?" Liv stared at the "Book of Unlimited Spells" that her brother was about to bring without blinking. She was keenly aware of the powerful magic attached to it, and she wanted to get it in her hands more than once to study it.

obviously. Although this powerful magic item can be used by everyone, it is too powerful for an apprentice mage, and he will hurt himself if he is not careful.

It is impossible for Allen to give such a dangerous thing to his sister, so he shook his head without hesitation: "No! I don't want to see you use the magic above to blow yourself up. This is not an ordinary magic item. It even records some seventh-level magic on it, which can cause huge damage if you are not careful."

"You're really stingy! Can you lend me your spell book to look at the head office?" Seeing that the request was fruitless, Liv immediately changed her target.

"This one is fine, but I can only lend it to you for one night. Get it back before noon tomorrow." After speaking, Allen took off one of the belts on his waist and handed it over. "Remember, the opened spell is abban. Don't read it wrong, otherwise the words on it will be out of order, and no one will be able to understand it."

Liv took the belt and frowned and asked, "abban? What do you mean, I really don't think I've heard the word before."

"This is the language of the dark elves. Abban is equivalent to an ally or not an enemy for the time being. In short, it is one of the words they hate to use the most. When I was underground, I met a kind dark elf named Solaufen. He It helped me a lot, so I thought of this word at the first time when I was making it." Allen explained with a look of nostalgia.

The trip underground was a transformation for him, growing from an ignorant boy to a real spellcaster, yearning for power, knowledge, and everything that can make him strong. It was Solaufen who extended a helping hand in time that prevented him from becoming completely cruel and cunning. Ultimately reduced to a puppet of darkness and power.

It was also for this reason that Henry was not stingy at all when rewarding. Because he knows best what this little help means to a person in desperate situation. That is equivalent to the fire of hope, the light that illuminates the deepest part of the soul.

"Then what happened to the dark elf named Solaufen? Is he dead?" Liv couldn't help showing curiosity.

Allen smiled and shook his head: "No, he left the ground alive and was made a baron by his father. I believe you will be able to see him soon."

"Hey, it sounds very interesting. I'm going to see what spells are recorded on it now. Goodbye, my dear brother." After speaking, Liv waved her hand and disappeared at the end of the hall bouncing around.

The banquet in the living room continued until late at night, and gradually dispersed after all the guests had enjoyed themselves. After the last guest left, Allen couldn't wait to rush into Henry's study room, find the book he was studying, and start frantically absorbing the knowledge recorded on it again...
