GOR Chapter 108: On the Road to the South
Every single one of these thousand mounted cavalry was riding majestic steeds produced in the Northern part of the continent. Looking at the standard of their armour, it was clear that they were completely different from the ordinary garrison troops. Their equipment was of superior quality. Long sabers, short bows hung from their horses, bright armour, lined with leather robes and a long white feather inserted into their helmets. Every single one of them had a grey cloak draped over their shoulders.
Du Wei was after all born in the Empire's military family. With just a glance, he could tell that this cavalry was the elite cavalry of the Empire's Tempest Legion that was stationed in the Northern part of the Empire.
Compared to the other Tempest Legion patrols that Du Wei had seen before, their equipment was several times better. Clearly, they were the elite of the elite. Every single one of the mounted cavalry had a tall stature and a sturdy face like the men of the North. Quite a few of them were of different races.
The pursuing cavalry shouted in unison.
"Is that the Master Du Wei of the Rowling family in front of us?!"
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat. He pondered for a moment and did not immediately answer. However, the cavalry had already arrived in front of them in a moment. Clearly, these cavalry were well trained. The thousand of them stopped on the road at a command. Their formation was neat and orderly. Not a single one of them made a ruckus. They were also very skilled in controlling their horses. Except for the occasional sneeze from the horses, not a single one of them made a sound. Only the sound of their armour could be heard.
"Which one of you is Master Du Wei?"
Following this question, the leader of the thousand cavalry, a Knight wearing the uniform of an Imperial military officer, urged his horse forward. This man had a full beard and wore a pure silver armour. The cloak behind him was also different from the grey of the other cavalry. Instead, it was a bright red cloak. It fluttered in the cold wind, appearing particularly majestic. On his chest was a shining Knight's medal. He was a genuine 6th level Knight of the Empire. With this rank, he would definitely be a high ranking officer in the Imperial army. This man had a long sword hanging from his horse. He urged his horse to move in front of Du Wei. Although he was sitting on his horse, he slightly bowed and spoke in a gentler tone: "May I ask, which one of you is Master Du Wei?"
Du Wei did not know whether these pursuing cavalry had good or bad intentions. Just as he was hesitating to answer, another rider came out from the cavalry formation. The rider was not wearing armor. Instead, he wore a grey mage's robe with a pointy hat. His hair and beard were grey and his eyes grey. The Mage's badge on his chest indicated that he was a 6th level mage.
When this person came out, Du Wei recognized him. Sure enough, this person's gaze swept over Du Wei and the others before finally landing on Du Wei. His cold face revealed a trace of a smile. He then jumped down from his horse and smiled: "Ah, Du Wei, long time no see. The last time I saw you, you were only a little bit tall! "
Du Wei was slightly startled, but he immediately recognized this mage.
This person was none other than the famous mage Clark of the Imperial Capital who was invited by his father to accept Du Wei as his disciple when Du Wei was young.
It was this Krak Mage who, after testing Du Wei, determined that although Du Wei's talent for magic was outstanding, his perception was extremely poor. He concluded that Du Wei would not be able to become a mage.
Of course, Du Wei would not forget this strange looking guy. After recognizing him at a glance, he was a little surprised: "You are Krak Mage, right? I recognize you, but … … "
"It's good that I found you." Clark smiled with satisfaction: "You should know, since you left home this time, the entire continent's Magician's Guild and the Imperial Military have been working together to find you!"
So it was because of Gandorf's pass to enter the Frozen Forest. Others might not know who the holder of the pass was, but according to the information sent back by the guards at the checkpoint, the Magician's Guild knew. The person who held the pass was, of course, Gandorf himself.
It was just that Gandorf's status in the magic world was very high. When he took away Du Wei, whether it was the Rowling family, the military, or even the Magician's Guild, no one dared to say anything. But when this news spread, everyone at least knew that Gandorf took Du Wei into the Frozen Forest.
Later, on the eve of the Imperial National Day, an ominous star appeared in the sky, and the life stone that Gandorf left in the Magician's Guild shattered. The Magician's Guild was shaken, and they sent out people to look for the only person with Gandorf, Du Wei. Because of this, they immediately thought of the news that Gandorf took Du Wei into the Frozen Forest with a pass.
Since Gandorf was dead, Du Wei was probably the only person by Gandorf's side before he died. The Magician's Guild was anxious to know the cause of death of the legendary mage Gandorf, and looking for Du Wei became an important task. And Clark was the only mage in the Sorcerers Guild who had seen Du Wei in person. His level was not low, and he was immediately sent to the Frozen Forest in the north.
The Rowling family's influence in the military was not small. This time, the Magician's Guild actually helped to look for Du Wei, and the Rowling family also used their influence to ask the Tempest Legion in the north to help find him.
Therefore, once Clark reached the north, he immediately contacted the Tempest Legion. According to the information provided by the guards at the entrance of the Frozen Forest, they found out that Du Wei had left the forest and was heading south. In order to give face to the Rowling family, the leader of the Tempest Legion specially sent his own personal cavalry to help chase after him.
In this way, they really caught up with Du Wei. Clark was secretly delighted. This time, including himself, there were a total of three level-six mages and two level-four mages. Among the five people, Clark was the leader, because Clark was the only one who had seen Du Wei. And the chairman of the Magician's Guild also said that this matter was very important. If they could find Du Wei and complete the mission, they would be greatly rewarded when they returned. They could even be promoted by two levels in the Magician's Guild.
Seeing that Du Wei was right in front of him, how could Clark not be happy?
Du Wei saw that the other party did not have any malicious intentions, and was not a member of the Shrines. It seemed that they really did come to find him. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. Hussain, who was behind him, also put down his hand that was secretly on the hilt of his sword and slightly turned his body.
He had the strength of a Paladin, and by secretly restraining his aura, he immediately hid his sharpness completely, not revealing the slightest bit. Unless it was a powerhouse whose level was close to his, it was absolutely impossible to see through his strength.
Du Wei smiled faintly: "So it is Master Clark. I didn't think that the matter of me leaving home would alarm the Magician's Guild and the imperial army."
Clark was in a good mood at this moment. His originally strange gray eyes seemed to be shining a lot brighter. He pointed to the senior officer with the red cloak and smiled: "This is General André of the Tempest Legion's personal cavalry battalion, General Rostock's personal guard. He is known as the number one warrior of the Northern Kingdoms. This time, without his help, I am afraid that I would not be able to find you so easily."
Andre, who had a face full of beard and an extremely formidable appearance, laughed heartily. He nodded while sitting on his horse and said loudly, "Wizard Clark, you're too kind! General Raymond and our Legion Commander are old friends. In order to find Master Du Wei, the Tempest Legion is duty-bound to do so. Master Du Wei, when we are marching, we are not allowed to dismount without setting up camp. This is the rule of our battalion, so please forgive me for not being able to dismount and greet you! "
Du Wei smiled and said a few polite words. Then, André said loudly: "Being able to find Master Du Wei, I have completed the task the Legion Commander assigned to me. Your Excellency Krak Mage, I will bring my men to escort you all the way to the city of Colo a hundred miles to the south. From there, I will ask the local garrison to send people to protect you all the way to the south. Our Tempest Legion has been ordered to guard the Northern Kingdoms. Without the Imperial High Command's orders, we are not allowed to go south! Therefore, I can only escort you all a hundred miles to the south. "
Although the chairman had told Clark to ask Du Wei a lot of questions before he came, this was not the place to talk, so he nodded.
Afterwards, General André ordered his men to give up a few good warhorses to Du Wei and the others. Then, a group of cavalrymen surrounded Du Wei and the others in the middle, along with a few magicians brought by Clark, and together they went south.
The elite guards of the Tempest Legion were really fast. They arrived at the city of Colo a hundred miles away very quickly. General André brought the Tempest Legion's commander's warrant and led everyone to the garrison camp outside the city of Colo. After handing Du Wei and the others over to the local garrison, he bade them farewell and led his men back north.
Du Wei was the eldest son of the second person in the Imperial High Command, Earl Raymond. Naturally, he was received with high standards in the garrison camp. And Clark and the others were also special envoys sent by the Sorcerers Guild, so they were of noble status. The local garrison immediately sent three hundred cavalrymen to escort them into the city of Colo. At Du Wei's request, they did not stay in the governor's mansion, but chose a good inn to stay in. But the local garrison ordered the inn to be guarded, and no one was allowed to disturb Du Wei and the other distinguished guests, which made the owner of the inn smile bitterly.
Along the way, Clark secretly sized up Du Wei and the others. Du Wei seemed to have grown up a lot in the past few years. Although he was not yet fourteen years old, the childishness on his face was gone. Coupled with the many days of adventures in the frozen forest, and the fact that most of the people he came into contact with were the strongest in the continent, such experience naturally gave birth to a sense of calmness in Du Wei. His speech and behavior were a bit more unfathomable.
Although he clearly knew that this young master was known as an idiot in the imperial capital, Clark was after all someone who had almost become Du Wei's teacher. Naturally, he knew that Du Wei was definitely not an idiot. Seeing him again after a few years, he felt that this youth was more and more extraordinary.
And the person beside Du Wei, Hussain was dressed as a warrior of a different race, showing the strength of a third or fourth rank warrior. He was taciturn, but there was an untamed temperament that could not be hidden. And Medusa's stunning beauty also surprised Clark. With such a man and woman by Du Wei's side, it seemed as if Du Wei was the backbone of the team, which made Clark click his tongue in wonder.
Along the way, when he casually asked about Hussain and Medusa's origins, Du Wei only casually said that they were mercenary friends he had made in the frozen forest. That Hussain was fine, but there were many large and small mercenary regiments in the north, so Du Wei's words were not strange. Medusa, on the other hand, had her eyes closed the whole time, but her appearance was too beautiful, making people gasp in amazement. She looked delicate and didn't speak much, but she didn't look like a mercenary who lived in the wilderness. For such a delicate beauty, if she didn't have any skills, how could she enter and exit the dangerous frozen forest?
Clark suppressed his bellyful of questions until they checked into the inn at night. Only then did he collect his thoughts and prepare to find a chance to properly ask Du Wei. Especially since he had received the chairman's request, he definitely had to find out the cause of Arch Magus Gandorf's death.
Just as everyone finished resting and was about to eat dinner, a clamor came from outside the inn.
The inn had already been surrounded by the local garrison, with three hundred soldiers standing guard outside. The city guard had given the order to let people in, so as not to disturb the rest of the honored guests. However, it seemed as if someone wanted to break in.
A voice filled with anger shouted, "How dare you! You even dare to block the Knight of the Shrines! There's only one good inn in this small city, could it be that you dare to let the emissary of the Shrines stay in the wilderness at night! Even if the city guard was here, he wouldn't dare! Quickly move aside! We have an important mission for the Shrines! After we eat here tonight, we'll be on our way through the night! "
Du Wei couldn't help but become interested when he heard this. He immediately looked outside and saw a guard at the door being knocked aside with a bang. Then he heard the sound of boots trampling on the ground as several Paladin Gods walked into the inn. The one in the lead looked around and frowned, "This is the best inn in the city? It seems like it's only so-so. If it was just you and me, we would have already given our lives to the gods. Even if we had to eat and sleep in the open, it wouldn't be much. However, the elders have honorable statuses, so how could they live in a place like this? "
Another Knight said in a low voice, "Alright, look at the appearance of the local garrison outside. There should be someone important living here. You and I are both followers of the gods, so we can't mess around. When will you change your violent temperament! The elders are all divine emissaries with profound cultivation, so how could they care about such a small matter. Quickly bring some people to clean up a few rooms, we'll be staying here tonight. "
Du Wei and Clark were sitting here, accompanied by an officer of the local garrison. This officer was only a third-level Knight. In such a small place, it was an honor to receive the distinguished guests of the Rowling family, the eldest son of the second leader of the Imperial High Command, and several magicians. He carefully accompanied them while ordering his men to guard outside. At this moment, when he saw someone break in, he immediately felt that he had lost a lot of face. He was furious, slammed the table, stood up and shouted, "Who dares to break in! This place has been requisitioned by the garrison camp! You dare to ignore the imperial decree! Trespassing into the military restricted area! "
Du Wei had already recognized that these Paladin gods were from the group of people he met on the way here. Du Wei didn't have any good feelings towards the Shrines. Because of their relationship with Hussain, he had more bad feelings towards them. Seeing that there was going to be a conflict, not only did he not speak, he even had some thoughts of gloating. He glanced at Krak Mage beside him, only to find that Clark was also sneering.
En?
Du Wei's heart moved. It seemed that these Magician's Guild mages didn't have a good relationship with the Shrines …
