Celestial Mage

Chapter 284

To the north of the highland is the Snowfall Mountains stretching thousands of Lami.

To the east of the highland is a series of extremely remote mountain villages.

Because it is so remote, it is almost forgotten by the world, and the only one with a bit of fame is Baima Town.

To the south of the highland is one of the two great rivers in the Golden Land, the Coldwater River.

The north bank is the northern border, and the south bank is the eastern border. Not far to the south, there is a city called Suiye City, which is also the city that Rosen must pass through for trade in the eastern border.

To the west of the highlands, there is a marquis called Nuanfeng Basin. The lord is the Marquis of Glodel, and there are sixteen baronies under the territory.

And during this time, a dream-sounding news was spreading in various towns and villages around the highlands.

"Crescent Town in the north of the highlands recruits free citizens, and when they go there, they will be given housing, land, jobs, and 5 crowns for settlement."

No one knows whether the news is true or not, but it is spread in the streets and alleys.

The hearts of the lower-level citizens in various territories were so excited that they were as excited as a cat in spring.

The news naturally spread to Baima Town.

In the north of Baima Town, at the rebuilt owl guard post, Anglo, a high-ranking warrior, also heard the news.

He sat on the top of the mill in the middle of the owl sentry, chewing a piece of reed boredly in his mouth, looking at the farmland in the distance with a pair of brown and black eyes, full of melancholy.

"This ghostly life is really not for human beings!"

He has now been promoted to a high-ranking soldier, but just because he is a southerner, and because he has corrected Baron Morey's crimes before, he has been ostracized in various ways.

A high-ranking samurai just nests in this stupid sentry every day to show the mill to others.

Really suffocating!

Seeing that the sun had already set on the horizon and the sky was getting dark, the voice of the deputy captain came from the mill.

"I said Anglo, dinner is ready, come down and eat quickly, don't be like a young master, asking people to shout every day!"

The voice was very rude. Although he was the vice-captain, he had little respect for himself as the captain, just because he was a native of Baima Town.

If it was before, Anglo, who had nowhere to go, would have tolerated it, but now, he doesn't intend to waste his life in this crappy place.

With a little effort, I jumped off the top of the mill that was more than ten meters high, turned around and walked into my room, packed up a few times casually, took a few luggage and an ordinary iron sword, turned around and went out the door.

The deputy captain stared: "It's getting dark, you still have to go out?"

Angore stepped forward and slapped the vice-captain's face with a crisp 'snap'.

The vice-captain covered his face and looked at Anglo in horror, and roared loudly, "How dare you hit me, you traitor?"

Angore raised his hand and slapped him again, and there was another crisp sound.

The deputy captain immediately screamed.

"The traitor is beating someone~ The traitor from the south is beating someone~ Come help me~"

Anglo took a deep breath, suppressed the thought of smashing the guy's mouth with a sword, rushed out of the owl sentry post, and then ran wildly, all the way to the west.

Rosen Philander, a young divine grace mage, once destroyed the necromancer army of the evil mage Damsis with his own power, easily captured Canleto, and successfully tried the evil baron.

Now, that young man has been canonized as the Baron of Crescent Town, and he has recruited leaders all over the world.

Anglo was not surprised by this news, but full of emotion.

"People are really different."

He was born in a merchant's family in Baisha City in the east, and his family was fairly wealthy. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and originally thought that he would stay in Baisha City for the rest of his life.

But the world is unpredictable, when I was young, relying on my own ability, I beat up a rascal who bullied a young girl on the side of the road, but I didn't expect that the rascal was a nobleman.

The noble scoundrel was unwilling to be beaten, so he found someone to retaliate against him, and even burned his father's shop to ashes, and even his parents were burned to death in the fire.

He killed the nobleman to avenge his blood, but he couldn't stay in his hometown, so he had to flee to the north, only to meet another devil baron.

While running wildly in the wild, Anglo thought of the young mage again.

"I heard that he was also born as a commoner, even from Baima Town, but he became a lord in a short period of time. His deeds are being praised everywhere."

"Perhaps, he is the illegitimate child left by God at the bottom, and now he has broken free from the mud and returned to the sky."

"I don't know if I go to him, will he take me in?"

As I ran, I became hungry, and I couldn't help but regret it.

"I was too impulsive just now, I should fill my stomach before running away."

But since he has already run out, there is naturally no reason to go back.

Randomly caught a few small animals in the field, peeled off the skin, removed the offal, and chewed them vigorously in his mouth.

He was no stranger to this kind of life. When he fled Baisha City, he ate raw meat for half a month in order to avoid pursuing soldiers.

In the days that followed, Anglo rushed all the way to the highland Crescent Town at full speed.

He is a high-level warrior, his feet are several times faster than ordinary people, even faster than horses.

Four days later at night, he stood on a cliff and saw Xinyue Town from a distance.

The town is brightly lit, and in the fields outside the town, there are farmers' stone huts scattered in the east and west, all of which are also lit. Looking from a distance, it looks like a sky full of stars surrounding the moon.

Anglo felt a sense of warmth returning from the wilderness to the civilized world, and his tense mind suddenly relaxed a lot, and most of the fatigue from the long-day journey dissipated.

Coming down from the cliff, he continued to run forward.

After running for a while, he suddenly found a group of black shadows rushing towards Xinyue Town.

He was no stranger to this kind of situation, because he often encountered this kind of situation these days, and they were all freedmen who came to Crescent Town from other places.

It was night now, and with the idea of ​​being a companion, he chased after him to say hello.

"Hey guys, are you going to Crescent Town too?"

There were about five or six people in that group of people. They all stopped when they heard the voice, and turned to look at Anglo.

Through the moonlight, Angelo discovered that the other party was a family, a middle-aged couple with four children, big and small.

Their clothes were more decent than those of ordinary farmers, but they were dusty and tired, and they had obviously traveled for many days like Anglo.

When the man saw Anglo, he was a little wary: "Dude, are you also defecting to the Crescent Lord?"

Anglo nodded: "Otherwise?"

There is still about five or six miles away from Xinyue Town. When we arrived at the land, it was probably already nine o'clock at night, so he suggested: "Why don't you find a place to rest? We'll go on our way tomorrow?"

The family shook their heads: "If you want to rest, you have to rest at the bottom of the city wall. This wilderness is too dangerous."

Anglo thought it was right: "Then let's go together?"

"it is good."

So the two groups went hand in hand.

Unexpectedly, after running for a mile, they ran into another couple, so they continued to stay together.

When they finally got to the bottom of the city wall, the team had grown to 30 to [-] people. Near the city gate, they found a long and large house built near the city gate, with the words rest hotel written on the door of the house.

There is also a strange little house at the entrance of the hotel. The house is brightly lit and emits the aroma of food. There is a small window on the front of the house, and behind the window there is a queue that is neither long nor short.

Anglo was already hungry, so he subconsciously moved to the back of the line.

He asked the people in front of him: "Hey man, what's going on here?"

The man in front came earlier and knew something about it.

"It's a temporary relief station provided by the baron. Five salted potatoes, a piece of meat and a bowl of water are given free of charge. After eating, go to the longhouse at the back. There is a floor bed inside for sleeping."

Anglo was very happy: "Oh~ the baron is so kind~"

A warm meal with meat in the cold night of late autumn really warms the heart.

And when he said this, many others followed suit: "Praise God~ Praise the lord~"

Soon it was Anglo's turn.

The food distribution person behind the small window was a stout middle-aged aunt. Seeing that Anglo was tall and strong, with an iron sword pinned to his waist, she asked, "Are you a warrior?"

"Correct."

"Then are you going to be recruited to join the lord's army?"

Angore thought for a while, except for his martial arts skills, he didn't have any other skills, and probably he could only go to the army to make a living, so he nodded.

"Yes."

The aunt behind the window gave him a large piece of fat bacon and 10 salted potatoes.

"The lord has an order. The warriors who come to recruit will be given double food. This is all yours."

"Oh, thank you Lord."

To be honest, five potatoes are really not enough for him to eat, two servings are just right.

Anglo took the bacon, took a bite, and a strong smell of meat exploded in his mouth. Then he took a bite of the salted potato, and took a sip of water. A sense of happiness suddenly appeared in his heart. .

"The meat is so delicious~~"

The fat aunt urged: "Okay, don't block the people behind, go eat in the house. After eating, throw the wooden bowl into the sink by the door."

Angore immediately turned around and went to the longhouse beside him.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt a sense of warmth, which dispelled the chill of the late autumn night.

The house was really long, more than 50 meters long and more than ten meters wide. Several dim windproof oil lamps were hung on the roof, and a fire pit was dug in the center of the house, with a lot of charcoal fire inside.

It can also be seen that there are many neatly cut dry hay mats on the ground. The mats are very thick. People have already sat on many of the mats, but there are still many vacant ones.

Anglo found an empty cushion and sat down, eating food with relish.

Warm food into the stomach, the mind suddenly enriched a lot, could not help flashing a thought.

"As expected of a mage lord blessed by God~~"

"Kindness, generosity, wisdom~~"

"If you can accept my allegiance, I will definitely use my life to protect Crescent Town!"

He ran away from his hometown at the age of 20, wandering for ten years and seeing the hardships and dangers of the world, he truly understands the rarity of a good lord.

He was gobbling and eating, when suddenly the voices of other defectors came from the side.

"There is indeed a good lord in New Moon Town, and New Moon Town is indeed a good place, but I'm worried that the good times won't last long."

"Why?" asked someone next to him.

Anglo also pricked up his ears to listen.

The man spoke his mind in a worried voice.

"The lord is a mage, but the lord's wife is a female mage. Female mages can't have children."

"There are no children here. When the lord is old, who will the title pass to?"

Someone said: "I said, you are just worrying about it. The lord can still find a lover to have children. If you find seventeen or eight, you can always give birth. What are you afraid of?"

"That's an illegitimate child. The lord is happy. Can the lord's wife be willing?"

A third person joined the conversation.

"If you ask me, the heir is not a big problem. What is really scary is the Snowfall Mountains in the north."

Having said that, everyone looked at him, and Anglo was also surprised.

Indeed, to the north is the Luoxue Mountains. I heard that two years ago there was an invasion of ice dwarves, and there was a tragedy of destroying the town.

But after being shocked, he wasn't afraid, instead he was a little fiery.

He is a high-ranking warrior, others are afraid of fighting, but he is not afraid!
He also wanted to make a name for himself on the battlefield.

There was another disdainful voice in my ear.

"The words of you people are ridiculous to me."

"You guys know about this, wouldn't the Master Liushu of the famous mainland know?!"

"Look at this tall and strong city wall, can the ice dwarves break through it?!"

This is indeed true.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and someone came out to smooth things over: "Hey~ everyone is just chatting nonsense, why do you take it seriously?"

At this time, Anglo finished his bacon and potatoes and drank all the water.

As the fat aunt reminded him, he put the water bowl into the sink outside the house, and then he lay back on the thick hay mat, stretching his limbs lazily, and the fatigue of many days rushed up.

Before falling asleep, the peaceful face of the young mage appeared in his mind again.

"I don't know if he still remembers me."

"I probably don't remember. The lord is so busy, how can he remember a small person in a remote mountain village?"
