Arcane Universe

Feng Chou and Simon stayed in the underground world for nearly half a year. Not to mention their hair and beard, even their face was not washed. Although Feng Chou can’t see himself, Simon looks like It’s really better than a savage. The disgusting hard hair and beard cover most of the face, and the uncovered face is covered with dirt, black and black, and the leather armor on his body looks decent, but The exposed hands were black like chicken claws.

Feng Chou squatted down and looked at his reflection in the water. It seemed to be a bit stronger than Simon, because he didn’t have a beard, and his body was only seventeen years old, not the age of a beard, but The difference is not much, because his hair is also knotted together in disgust, and he can hardly see the original beautiful golden red, his face is also black and black, and his hands are like chicken claws.

The two squatted by the river to clean up seriously.

It took them a long time to finally make themselves look like normal people.

After cleaning themselves, the two of them passed a stone bridge and a piece of farmland to the north gate of Foggsack Town, but Simon didn’t plan to enter the city. He took Feng Chou detoured from the north of the town along the field road outside the city wall to the south, and came to the pier outside the south gate of the town.

There is a hotel on the road from the pier to the south gate of the town.

In front of the hotel is a yard enclosed by wooden fences. In the yard there are several carriages for cargo.

The main building of the hotel is a small three-story building with a courtyard behind and a row of warehouses behind the courtyard.

Simon walked into the hotel with Feng Chou. The first floor of the Hall Master building was a large pub with many guests.

Most of the guests here are wearing various armors and armed with various weapons, but these people are not necessarily mercenaries, some of them are merchants, some are caravan guys, this World is like this Even if the serfs went out to work, they would carry axes and guns.

In this world, those who dare to cross the wilderness to do business are not weak. There are some wilderness intelligent races who like to ambush on both sides of the road and attack past caravans, such as jackals.

Many caravan members are retired mercenaries and diverted themselves. Many mercenaries will also do small business part-time. For example, when they receive a mission to remote territories, they will escort a car of merchandise. .

Walking into the tavern, Simon knocked on the bar, “Hey, I need a room.”

The shopkeeper in the bar stared at the two for a while, and asked Simon to pay the room deposit first.

Although the two had washed by the river, their images still looked very suspicious.

Seeing Simon’s embarrassed expression, the tavern shopkeeper immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Simon can only take off the scimitar from his waist and hand it to the shopkeeper as a collateral. Only then did Simon get the key to a guest room on the second floor.

Entering the guest room, he handed him a weapon package to Feng Chou, asking him to wait for him here.

After Simon left, Feng Chou asked for another room on the third floor of the hotel.

This small hotel building is the tallest building near the pier. Standing in front of the windows on the third floor, the view is very wide.

Feng Chou watched Simon walk into the south gate of the town.

He looked at the small town not far away, and couldn’t help but fall into the memory.

This small town is not big or small. It is surrounded by a square city wall less than two kilometers in length. The height of the city wall is more than six meters, and the city wall is separated by 40 meters. , It highlights a semi-circular defensive tower, and there are four large defensive towers at the four corners of the city wall.

If you look across the city wall, you can’t see the ordinary buildings in the town, but you can see a few particularly tall buildings.

Of course, the most conspicuous one is the castle in the middle of the town.

It is different from the castle that Feng Chou saw along the way, which only considers the defensive effect. This is a castle more in line with Feng Chou’s imagination of the castle. The castle is roughly divided into upper and lower layers, and the lower layer is for defense. This layer is similar to an ordinary castle, strong, thick, and narrow windows.

But in the upper part of the castle, it is completely different.

Above the military defense layer of this castle, two more Gothic buildings stand out. On these two floors, there are white walls with many wide and bright windows. Inlaid with beautiful and expensive alchemical glass, it changes the darkness of ordinary castles.

The two floors of the building are smaller than the military floor below. The extra military floor roof on the periphery is built into a circle of garden-like balconies, planted with some flowers and plants like Mountain Tiger. , Stained the whole building with a piece of green. Leo used to go to that balcony where he could have a bird’s eye view of the entire town and even several nearby manors. The view was extremely open, which made people relaxed and joyful.

The top floor of the Gothic building is a beautiful round arched spire. Above the spire is a statue of a prancing horse and Yang sword. It is a statue of the nobleman and the god of Knight. It clearly expresses this The devout beliefs of the people of Castle Lord.

Leo’s father is a vassal of Viscount Fergesack. When he was eleven, he went to the castle as the heir of the vassal and swore allegiance to the heir of the viscount. When he first set foot there He swears to himself when he overlooked the entire plain from the balcony, that one day, he must own such a castle!

After that, Leo received Knight training at the Knight School in this small town until he was checked out of the wizard innate talent at the age of fourteen.

It can be said that Leo is more familiar with this town than his father’s pioneering Knight collar.

The second tallest building in the town is a majestic temple, which is the temple of the nobles and the Divine Sea of ​​Knight.

Owendale is a Magic Empire. The big cities of this country are often the domain of Bokabu, the god of Arcane, or Sos, the god of knowledge and alchemy, but the brilliance of Arcane cannot illuminate every part of the empire. An inch of land often lacks the power of magic in some remote areas. At this time, the nobles need the power of Knight to protect their territories. Therefore, in these areas, it is the realm of the nobles and the god of Knight.

Leo’s father is a believer of this noble man. When he was a child, Leo often went to the temple of this god to pray, but after he entered the Academy of the Master, he changed his beliefs and became a believer of Bokabu.

There is a Knight school on the side of the temple of the nobles and the god of Knight, which accepts all the nobles, gentlemen, and children of the commoner Knight family for Knight training. The tuition is quite expensive, but compared to the mages school, It’s more close to the people.

The annual cost of Knight School is generally only about five hundred crowns.

In addition to basic martial skill training, Knight training also includes riding training, tactical training, and etiquette training.

Riding training includes ordinary riding training, lance fighting training, riding shooting training, and tactical training including battlefield command of troops below platoon, training of soldiers, logistics organization, etc., generally speaking, Knight Knight who graduated from school is a qualified middle and low-level military officer, and his etiquette training is some simple heraldry and aristocratic social etiquette.
