Salted Fish Mage Survival Log [Through the Book]

Ludwig's words pierced Vincent's heart.

To be honest, the reason why Vincent came to this deserted mountain these days after he came out from the capital was actually because he lost his way.

Of course it can't be Vincent's fault!After all, he came to the capital since he was a child and rarely went out, and Vincent didn't really understand the map of this world.

Unlike the map in Vincent's previous life where the contour lines and mountain ridges were marked out and scaled down in equal proportions, the map of this world is very simple.

For example, this place is marked with a forest, and next to the forest is a town, and above the forest is the capital.

But Vincent obviously walked according to the directions of the map, who knew that he walked into the forest without knowing it?

There are lush and tall trees in the front, back, left, and right, and the spreading canopy covers the sky.

Vincent wanted to find his way through the direction of the sun, but he couldn't even go back the same way.

And there are no road signs on the side of the road, it is definitely not Vincent's fault to get lost!

So when he met Ludwig and the others, Vincent had actually been lost in the forest for a day.

Vincent was almost finished eating the food he was carrying.

Although Vincent didn't need to worry about food, the water elemental spirits would lead him the way to the springs and streams in the forest.

And the elemental spirit of the wind will roll up the fish in the river for Vincent and throw them to the shore.

But Vincent couldn't stand eating fish all the time.Although he himself is not very good at cooking, with the help of the elemental elves, he can roast the food and eat it without hurting his body.

He also heard the voice of human beings, so he came here. Who knows, before he asked the way, he was dragged into the water and had a reluctant battle.

The map does not mark the road in the forest.

Even if it is marked, Vincent may not dare to follow the picture.

Now that there is someone ready to take him on the road, Vincent really hesitated.

Although someone took him for a ride, he didn't have to worry about getting lost again, but Vincent still felt a little tricky about Ludwig's status as the prince.

One is because Ludwig is the prince of the empire where Vincent belongs, and the other is because Vincent feels that Ludwig is still a little deep in his mind.

What Ludwig said just now was indeed affectionate and touching, but he forgot, why can't he ask Vincent for help?

If you ask Vincent for help, although Vincent hates trouble, if Ludwig asks him for help, Vincent will definitely protect them.

While not killing them all, Vincent will protect them until they are safe.

Vincent rubbed his hair, thought about it, and finally decided to agree.

Vincent couldn't blame Ludwig for his deep thoughts. As a prince, he was forced to such a situation. I'm afraid the situation would not be too good.

Combined with some rumors that Vincent heard in the capital, I am afraid that this Ludwig is the unfavored eldest son of the current emperor.

The father is not in pain, and he is a thorn in the side of the stepmother. If his thoughts were not deeper, he would probably have died long ago.

It doesn't matter if you travel together, at least as a prince, you should know which places are suitable for setting up Vincent's salted fish nest, ah, no, it's the mage's tower.

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble you." Vincent inserted the staff back into his waist, and took a few steps forward to help Ludwig, who was still kneeling on the ground, up.

Ludwig stood up following Vincent's strength, otherwise Vincent might not be able to pull up this sturdy prince with just a little strength.

Seeing that His Royal Highness whom he was serving made friends with the powerful and mysterious black-haired mage who suddenly appeared, Ludwig's subordinates heaved a sigh of relief, sorted the luggage scattered around, and began to prepare to continue let's go.

Vincent watched with great interest as they took the magic blanket out of the space pouch, and the two priests performed holy spells to heal the injured soldiers and knights.

Vincent discovered that there were no magicians in Ludwig's team, which was probably why he was at a disadvantage in fighting against the knight team of the Kingdom of Knox just now.

The knights fight in the front, the soldiers attack in the middle, the priests in the rear are responsible for applying various blessings and holy spells of healing, and the magicians provide various assistance and occasionally perform surprise attacks. This is a powerful team that Vincent knows must be configured.

But Ludwig's team lacked a magician.Although magicians are not indispensable, but if you want to maximize the strength of a team, magicians are necessary.

However, Vincent saw that Ludwig was a person with his own plans, and there was no need to have a shallow conversation with him.

As a powerful mage who rescued them from fire and water, Vincent did not participate in the team's overall outfit, but was arranged to sit on a magic carpet covered with soft fur cushions of monsters, watching Ludwig's team was busy back and forth like worker ants.

Even Ludwig, who is the prince, is helping to carry things.

Vincent watched for a while, feeling a little restless.

Although it's none of his business, but even people with minor injuries are helping out. Isn't it good that he, a mage with all hands and feet, can't do anything?

Vincent, who was essentially a good person, pursed his lips. The elemental elves sitting on his shoulders, knees, and arms felt that Vincent could just sit like this.

Although the elemental elves can't speak, they can gesture!

And Vincent didn't need to meditate or do homework in the mage academy, and he had enough time to play with them!

They were sticking to Vincent's robe expectantly, and some simply grabbed Vincent's hair hanging down his cheeks and swung the hair like a swing, looking very happy.

Vincent eventually helped.

He softly called the wind elemental elves, and the wind blew through the forest again, precisely rolled up those heavy objects, and put them on the magic carpet floating in the air.

With the help of Vincent's magic, those heavy objects were quickly carried, which greatly accelerated the speed of Ludwig's team.

Ludwig wiped his forehead and cheeks that were dripping with sweat from carrying and tidying up. He smiled gratefully at Vincent and said softly, "Thank you, Your Excellency Vincent."

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of little effort." Vincent was right, it was indeed a matter of little effort for him.

Soon the team was fully equipped and ready to go.

Ludwig sat beside Vincent, and the huge magic blanket took them and the boxes and luggage tied behind them slowly into the air and flew towards the west.

After setting off, Ludwig explained to Vincent: "We are now taking a shortcut to the western border. I wonder what your destination is?"

"Uh..." Vincent scratched his cheek and said shyly, "I have no destination for now. If I really want to say it, I'm looking for a suitable place to build a mage tower."

"Is that so, if it's your Excellency Vincent, there must be no problem." Ludwig said sincerely: "I know a few places that are secluded and have good scenery, or you can consider these places? "

While talking, Ludwig reported several place names, but they were all places that Vincent had never heard of.

Probably a more remote area.

But Vincent didn't want to build his mage tower in a remote and inaccessible place.

Whether it's buying clothes, novels for entertainment, or trying delicious food like this, it's very troublesome.

Vincent quietly listened to the place names given by Ludwig, and did not make a decision right away.

After all, he doesn't necessarily have to build a mage tower. According to Vincent's strength, he can do whatever he wants.

Vincent thought for a while, but couldn't help asking: "You just said that the western border... is there any war?"

It's strange to think of so many goods and manpower, and they are escorted by the prince of a country?

Unless this is food, grass and equipment to be transported to the front line, why would the cavaliers of other countries intercept it?

The faint smile on Ludwig's face remained unchanged, and he politely replied: "It's just that the father thinks that I, a prince who is about to grow up, should not be allowed to work for nothing, so he sent me out to do something. In other words Come back, Your Excellency Vincent is really powerful, the wind magic, water magic, and ice magic that trapped everyone are powerful, I have never seen a few of them."

Ludwig looked at Vincent curiously with flickering eyes: "Excuse me... Did your mentor teach you these spells? Who is such a powerful mage?"

Vincent became alarmed, and he changed the subject: "My mentor doesn't like me telling people his name."

For Vincent's words, Ludwig expressed his understanding.

After all, the more powerful a mage is, the more unspeakable eccentricities he has.

"Since you can't make up your mind about the places I just reported, why don't you go and have a look with us?" Ludwig suggested, "Our route just happens to pass through those places."

"Can you? Thank you very much." Vincent raised his eyebrows, but did not refuse Ludwig's overture.

"Actually, I also have my own selfish intentions." Ludwig said frankly, he set his eyes on the sun that was gradually sinking to the west, with a bit of bitterness and helplessness on his expression: "After all, I can't predict that it will not be the same in the future." There will be enemies like Knox Kingdom attacking us, and I'm afraid I won't be lucky enough to meet a mage as powerful as you, Lord Vincent, passing by."

Ludwig smiled self-deprecatingly: "I was not expected, and death is not a pity. But my subordinates trust me and entrust their lives to me. I don't want them to die just like that."

Vincent realized that this was Ludwig showing weakness to him.Regardless of whether the reason behind this show of weakness is to draw him into the team, or to give them the blessing of strength from Vincent during this short period of companionship, Ludwig's sincerity revealed that Vincent was somewhat moved. .

The elemental elves around him told Vincent that what Ludwig said was true and did not lie.

Anyway, I don't have a destination, so it doesn't matter if I give them a ride temporarily.

Vincent thought to himself, touching the slippery heads of the elemental elves rubbing his palm as a thank you for their help.

Vincent himself did not expect that he lost himself in Ludwig's team with such an escort.

But at that time Vincent was willing.

Vincent, who grew up in peace in his previous life, saw the horror of war, and saw Ludwig show his talent, heart, and mind.

At that time, Vincent felt from the bottom of his heart that if anyone could stop this endless sad war, then probably only Ludwig.

So he temporarily put aside his dream of living a leisurely life, exerted his talent and strength, and became a "Mage of Hyperion" under Ludwig's command, trying to end this cruel but constant struggle with Ludwig. existential war.
