The moon had already set in the west, and the east was faintly white.
In the forest not far from Green Tree City, the sound of fighting was so loud that it could be heard even from the side of the city wall.
On the watchtower beside the city gate, a soldier wearing a simple half-body armor looked in the direction of the fighting. His eyes were somewhat fascinated, but more than that, he was worried.
When immortals fought, mortals suffered. Two churches were fighting over there, and it was said that there were more than ten Legendary Masters. If they really fought crazily, if their attacks were slightly off course, the aftermath would hit Green Tree City.
Of course, Green Tree City had the protection of the Magic Circle, so it might not suffer much damage. But if the Magic Circle could not hold on, the first unlucky one would definitely be him.
"Aiya! So worried! "
"What are you worried about?" A friend under the watchtower heard his sigh and asked curiously, "You made your wife angry in the morning, so you don't have lunch?"
"You don't have lunch!" The sentinel said impatiently, "I am worried. What if there is a sword aura or a magic spell that hits here while they are fighting? What should I do?"
The sentinel under the watchtower was stunned. He pondered for a moment and said, "There is nothing to worry about. If it really hits here, there is a Magic Circle to block it."
"What if the Magic Circle can't block it?" The worried sentinel asked, "If it can't block it, won't we be the first unlucky one!"
"If it can't block it... then we can only be unlucky." His friend said with a bitter smile. But after thinking for a moment, his eyebrows relaxed again, "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of. The attack of a Legendary Master, how powerful is that! We will definitely die in an instant, and there will be no pain. "
"... Thank you for your comfort." The sentinel on the watchtower laughed dryly and turned his head to look at the place where the fierce battle was.
After a while, he said again, "Sigh! If I was strong enough, then there would be no need to worry. "
"Isn't it a little too late to think about this now? If you had trained hard when you were young, maybe you would be very strong now. " Their captain happened to pass by here. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "You are almost ten years older than me. If I were to reach your age, I would most likely have stepped into the high order. But look at you, you have not even reached the middle order! "
"If you didn't work hard when you were young, what's the use of lamenting now?" The more the captain spoke, the angrier he became. "Let's not talk about when you were young. Even now, every time we train, you find an excuse to run away … With that attitude of yours, how can you become strong?"
"I heard that someone picked up some treasure or ate some miraculous fruit, and suddenly became an expert …"
"You can keep daydreaming!" The captain shook his head and left without any curiosity.
"Captain, wait!" The soldier who was patrolling below the observation deck caught up with him and asked about the previous topic.
After listening to his question, the captain pondered for a moment and said, "Your worries are unnecessary. No matter how great the power of a Legendary powerhouse is, it is not to be wasted. In battle, they had to use every bit of their strength to subdue the enemy. If they couldn't do so, they would most likely lose their lives. Your worries about the aftermath of the battle reaching here and destroying the magic array protecting Green Tree City are pure nonsense. "
Only then did the sentinel relax. He saluted and hurriedly left.
After he walked far away, the captain frowned and stared at the direction where the sounds of fighting came from. After a long time, he turned around again. After walking along a street, he came to a house that was not very spacious, but was very tidy.
"Teacher, are you there?" He knocked on the door and asked.
The unlatched door opened, and a bald old man with white eyebrows and beard and a slightly hunched back walked out. His face was full of wrinkles, but it couldn't hide his ferocious expression. He must have been a fierce person when he was young. But looking at the kindness in his eyes and the way the neighbors greeted him with smiles, it proved that he was very popular and was not a bad person at all.
The captain of the patrol saluted and asked, "There are two churches dueling outside the city. It is said that there are more than ten Legendary powerhouses fighting. I am a little worried and want to go take a look. Do you think it is possible?"
This bald old man was also a legendary figure in Green Tree City. In the past, he was an ordinary fighter. Later, he had an adventure and turned over a new leaf. He did many good things and was even blessed by the God of Justice. Now, he was one of the few high-level powerhouses in the city.
He had been wandering for many years and was very knowledgeable. So when the captain of the patrol was worried, he would naturally come to him to ask.
"Which two churches?" the bald old man asked.
"The Church of the Great Educator (God of Knowledge) and the Church of the Noble Maids (God of Aristocracy)."
"Then don't worry," the old man said. "The Great Educator is a good god, and the Noble Maids is a god of order. Their believers will not attack the city or kill the innocent."
"… Didn't you tell me before that the camp is not very reliable?"
"It is true if there are few people. If there is only one person, the good may do evil, and the chaotic may also obey the order. But the more people there are, the less likely it is to violate the camp. " The old man smiled and said, "If so many people from the two churches gather together and do something inappropriate, it will be very embarrassing for them. So you don't have to worry at all. The Legendary Powerhouses value their reputation more than our lives. "
The captain of the patrol was silent for a while and sighed. He said, "If I can also become a Legendary Powerhouse, how good would that be!"
"That is not easy, at least in our Mifata Federation. It is not easy." The bald old man sighed and said, "On our side, only people with good backgrounds can get enough resources and have the opportunity to learn those profound knowledge and skills. You are very talented and hardworking, but it is not enough to rely on these. "
"Then what should I do?" the captain of the patrol asked.
The bald old man thought for a long time and pulled the student into the house. He said in a low voice, "If you really want to become stronger, go to the Republic of Northwest and find the people of the Church of the Void Mask."
"Find them? What's the use of finding them? "
"More than 30 years ago, I was still a good-for-nothing fighter. I met His Majesty the Void Mask by chance and was enlightened by him. That's how I turned over a new leaf … All these years, I think I've been doing the right thing and haven't let him down. Go there and pray to him, thank him for me, and ask to join his church … Then, you should have the opportunity to learn those profound skills."
The captain of the patrol was stunned and asked curiously, "Teacher, you met His Majesty the Void Mask back then?"
"Yes, not only did I meet him, but I also met the 'King of the Seaside' Leon Igor and the 'Medical Master' Steele Geerteng." The bald old man remembered the past and could not help but smile. "There were actually four people who received guidance, but in the end, I was the only one who really walked on the right path … Anyway, I should go and thank him. Unfortunately, I am old and can't go far … "
The captain of the patrol finally understood and nodded repeatedly.
Early the next morning, he, who had resigned from his post, carried his luggage and rode a horse. After saying goodbye to his teacher, he hurried out of the door and headed in the direction of the Highest Tower.
To go to the Republic of Northwest, of course, it was more appropriate to use the portal of the Highest Tower.
And until this time, the sounds of fierce fighting from the forest outside the city were still going on, and there was no sign of it dying down …
