"Mages are not welcome in Fenton. This is related to the war a thousand years ago." Lambert began to tell the story of the past.

Fenton was not originally a separate nation as it is now; at that time it had been ruled by mage lords. During the Great Arcane Period, Fenton became famous for its rich agricultural crops and exquisite handicrafts. There were also countless gems and ores in the mountains. Many archmages lived on this land, making it extremely prosperous. At that time, Fenton was called the "Promised Land" by people from other parts of the continent.

But the war waged by the Arcanists against the gods changed everything here. This place is located in the center of the entire continent, so Fenton has become the most important battlefield. Controlling its adjacent Five Realms Mountains can block the throats of others. Arcanists cast terrifying spells here, drawing energy from the fertile land to build a terrifying undead army. This army worked day and night to dig out Fenton's originally rich mineral resources, excavating all the treasure mountains large and small.

During the battle with the gods, the undead creatures died in large numbers under the power of the gods, and their filthy energy turned the land into thousands of miles of red earth . All the plants are gradually dying because they are unable to absorb any nutrients from the gray-black soil; river water and well water have become highly toxic, and the water carries the residual power of the undead; the plague is prevalent everywhere, as long as it is infected by those inexplicable If the disease is transmitted, they can only sit on the ground and wait to die. Fenton's population dropped drastically, and only a few lucky people hid in the underground world to avoid this catastrophe.

When the war ended, people who had been away from their homes for many years gradually began to return, but all they saw were destroyed wrecks. After hundreds of years of embarrassment, the influence of mages and undead slowly dissipated. This was originally the base camp of arcanists , but now there is no mage tower that can still stand high in the clouds. After the destruction of their homeland, the angry people pushed down all the buildings related to mages and declared that mages are the plague. They can only bring disaster.

In Fenton, in the stories that children have heard since childhood, mages definitely appear as bad guys. They are like demons from hell and nightmares that destroy the world. In the hearts of Fenton people, the word mage always represents terror and destruction.

In the entire continent of Blasares , this is probably the most repulsive place for mages. From the people to their rulers, everyone has a bad opinion of the mage. There used to be a law here, "Mage, be put to death." Although in fact almost no one can catch the mage himself, as long as he is involved with the mage, he will not be spared in Fenton.

"Now, you know why Vincent is angry." Lambert said: "Newton and I came here to pick up his mother after the funeral. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous for her to live alone here."

Mark nodded, finally understanding what was going on. Although he was secretly worried, afraid that things would develop in a bad direction. But on the other hand, as long as Vincent is still here, he will definitely find a solution to the problem.

"If I say, whoever offends you should be killed." Shelley said easily: "This is the simplest way."

Hardy smiled: "That will never solve the problem."

"But it's better than you having nothing to do." Shelley thought for a moment and shouted upstairs: "Soka, are you okay? I'll take you out to play!"

The little angel flew down from upstairs with a hula and stumbled to Shelley: "Where are you going? Where are you going?"

After the two left, everyone's attention returned to the upstairs. Master Vincent has been staying up there, even if there is no movement, there is no way to wait for him to come down. Lambert is still wondering where to take Vincent's mother to ensure her safety. The place he is most familiar with is the Holy Greafury Empire, but there is a war with the orcs there , and threats to his life may come to him at any time.

This weird atmosphere lasted until evening, when Vincent helped his mother come downstairs. The mage has regained his composure and is wearing his own mage robe again, no longer covering the ridiculous attendant robe.

"I'm really sorry for making you all worried." Vincent's mother said: "However, my son is finally back. This is already a happy thing. I will go and cook a delicious meal for you. .”

Mark and Phelps ran over to help, while Vincent stayed in the hall, watching his companions. The mage smiled and nodded, happy to see that both Lambert and Newton were safe. For him, whether Yuegang City fell or not had nothing to do with him at all. What he was worried about was only the condition of these friends and whether they could leave safely from that place.

Lambert's armor is engraved with the logo of a giant's head, and on the heart of his breastplate is the emblem of Moon Harbor City . From this point of view, Lambert is a member of the battle to regain Moon Harbor City . He has now become Greafury's official paladin, which has fulfilled his past wish.

"What's going on in Yuegang City now? Have you taken over all those giants?" Vincent found a comfortable place to sit down: "Those are the giants from almost the entire northern mountain range. How did you win?"

Newton's beard trembled violently, and snorts and laughter floated out from underneath: "Eradicate? The giants are still living in Moon Harbor City, and they have not left."

Vincent leaned forward: "What's going on? Is Moon Harbor City not under your control?"

Lambert sighed, touched his forehead and said: "We had already assembled the army and were preparing to recapture it. Before his death, several attacks were ineffective. Although many giants were killed, we were unable to attack. City. This time, the priests of the temple, who are basically Greafury 's strongest troops, have sensed the crisis of the matter. The constant appearance of orc raiding groups has seriously endangered the safety of the entire country. Just as we were ready, we launched our troops. , the giants suddenly asked to negotiate with us."

Vincent frowned and listened carefully to Lambert's description.

"The giants said that they can surrender, but there are a few requirements. The most important one is to give them the right to live in the Holy Greafury at will."

"This is really strange." Vincent said: "They have lived on the towering mountains for generations. Why do they want to live in Greafury ? Is there something wrong with the roof mountains in the north?"

"You are right, something big happened in the Roof Mountains. The orcs who had been living together with the giants suddenly became aggressive. They were very smart and relied on their understanding of the conditions where the giants lived to use surprise attacks to force these giants. Migrating southward. The giants who originally came to ask for support from the Holy Greafury were constantly attacked by the cavalry from Greafury on their way south . It was under such circumstances that they captured Moon Harbor City."

"It turns out that Greafury had already launched an attack before the giant arrived." Vincent said, "This is probably unlikely."

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

"It's impossible." Lambert replied: "We still don't know where these knights came from. However, they are indeed not soldiers of the Holy Greafury . The giants were deceived. So we were also involved. This war."

Vincent was lost in thought. He was at the scene during the battle and was very familiar with the defense situation of Yuegang City . To be honest, except for powerful offensives like giants, Moon Harbor City should be able to resist the attacks of any other race to its north. From this point of view, if the giants and the holy Greafury engage in a mutual consumption and open up the passage of Moon Harbor City , the biggest beneficiaries will be the orcs. Not only did they seize the giants' territory, they also took root in Greafury 's land. But it's impossible for the orcs to come up with such a clever plan. If they had such good minds, they would have dominated the entire Blasares world.

"What are your countermeasures now?" Vincent asked.

"Looking for allies everywhere." Lambert smiled: "Don't worry, Holy Greafury has been blocking the progress of the orcs for other countries in the north. We still have many friends. Now, the dwarves closest to us have agreed to pay tribute from the east. If we attack the orcs in the En Mountains, the lords in the south will also provide support from the inland sea. The alliance with Fenton has a long history, so there will be no problems. Those orcs should be cleared out next year."

Newton said: "That's right ! Those disgusting orcs, they can't run away now! Moon Harbor City has been taken back, and their escape route has been blocked. This time, I can try my best, The group of orcs I want to kill are crying and screaming, and their shit and urine are flowing out."

"We are about to eat, so don't talk about such disgusting topics." Vincent's mother slowly walked over from the kitchen carrying a big pot: "This was originally the lobby of the hotel, and there are a lot of people now. Let's eat here. .”

"Thank you, Ailinsha." Newton sniffed the contents of the pot vigorously, "Wow! Tonight is a hodgepodge of broth. It's delicious. It's delicious."

Lambert punched the dwarf's helmet, making a muffled sound: "Newton, what did you call Vincent's mother just now? Have you forgotten again? You have to learn from me!"

Newton quickly adjusted his knocked-off helmet and said dissatisfiedly: "I won't call her aunt. I'm hundreds of years older than her."

"You!..." Lambert found the dwarf's ear from under his disheveled hair and beard, tugged on it and said, "You are Vincent's friend, so naturally you should be more respectful to her mother. Besides, when will I force you to call her aunt? ? I say it again, I have to call you ma'am, Ms. Ailinsha."

As Newton ran away, he said, " I know , I remember." He walked around to the other end of the dining table and said, "Ms. Ailinsha, can you eat now?"

Shelley and Sokka opened the door and walked in following the scent. The little angel's head was covered in sweat, and she didn't know why she was so tired from playing. As soon as Sokka entered the room, he moved a chair to the dining table and climbed on the table motionless, just breathing heavily.

"Shelley, where have you taken Soka?" Vincent asked strangely while helping his mother place the tableware.

"It's nothing, I just took her to fly around twice." Shelley touched Soka's wings: "She needs to be trained from an early age."

Vincent's mind immediately recalled the city of Prudence and how the dark elf family trained their children. However, Shelley didn't have a whip on her body. She also clearly said that she would abandon the drow lifestyle and wouldn't do that to her own sister. Besides, little Sokka's flying speed is not slow. If Shelley wants to catch her with her floating ability, it will be impossible.

Mark and Phelps ran over with bread and fruit. Vincent glanced at the fruit plate and knew that Little Finger must have put some more things into his bag. However, since the mage has the eye of insight, those things in Phelps' package that "got in without knowing how" can be returned to their original owners.

Vincent looked at the chairs in the room. They were all prepared for humans. This would cause great inconvenience to Mark and Phelps. He chanted a spell and made the legs of the two chairs longer so that everyone could reach the food.

The mage's mother watched all this intently, with an unnatural smile on her face. She quickly asked everyone to sit down and wiped her face with a wet hand towel to hide her expression. However, most of the people present were experienced adventurers. Even Vincent, who had his back turned to his mother, had a full field of vision, and they all saw this scene.

"Come on, come on, it's been a long time since so many people have gathered at home." Ms. Ailinsha said: "You come from all places and have your own living habits. I won't let you pray together. Vincent, it's up to you. .”

"Me?" Vincent was a little surprised. Ever since he was a child, he had never prayed at the dinner table. What's more, after becoming a mage, although he does n't despise all gods like the great arcanists in the past , he never prays to them. He looked into his mother's expectant eyes and could only say: "Thank you for the food, so that my mother and friends can have a full meal and be happy."

This lame prayer almost made Paladin Lambert laugh out loud. He had been receiving the influence of the gods in Greafury all day long , and he had already heard countless beautiful words praising God's gifts. Praying like a mage can be treated as a joke.

However, Vincent finally managed to get through, and everyone was able to choose their own food and start eating. During the dinner, Vincent's mother looked at the girls sitting at the table and knew that they all came with Vincent, so she paid special attention to them. According to her eyes, the two human girls were the most suitable for her, they were beautiful and quiet. It's just that one of the women always picks up food for the big guy, while the other one is a little trembling and doesn't dare to look away from the bowl in front of her.

The little girl with wings is very lively, but she looks too small. Moreover, the feathers on her back showed that she was not human, but rather similar to the angels in some paintings. Vincent's mother shook her head and rejected another option.

The remaining woman wasn't bad looking, but her skin color was strange. Pure white skin and silver-white hair look very incongruous. It is said that there is a disease that looks like this. In addition, her purple eyes are too sharp and the muscles on her arms are also very toned. She looks like a wandering adventurer who may not be able to settle down.

"Little girl, what's your name and how old are you this year?" After thinking for a while, Vincent's mother decided to ask. Because among the people present, only this girl dressed in white still has hope.

Shelley frowned and glanced at Vincent. She felt a little strange, why did the mage's mother ask herself this question? But she still answered truthfully: "My name is Shelley, and I am 117 years old."

Little Sokka raised his hand and said loudly: "My...my name is Sokka! I am 61 years old!"

"Haha, that's it..." Ms. Ailinsha laughed dryly to cover up her embarrassment. It seems that Vincent's friends are very strange. They are all very old, but these two young-looking girls are actually much older than him.

Vincent's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally sighed: "I just noticed that I am the youngest here."

Newton, who was sitting next to him, laughed and patted his back hard. The atmosphere at the entire dinner table relaxed, and all the shadows about the mage's identity or the coming war were gone.

A good mood is the best way to have a meal. Everyone talks about what they have experienced since the separation, and shares the most interesting and happiest things. Vincent ate the food in front of him carefully, not daring to waste anything. Shelley has been paying attention to the mage and noticed that he ate several times more than usual today. Then he looked at the food on the table thoughtfully.

After dinner, the female drow pulled Soka, who had stretched his belly until it was round, and the two of them left mysteriously. Vincent was curious, told his mother, and followed him out.

The whole town was quiet, all the windows of the houses were tightly closed, and the guard dogs that would have been placed on the streets were all locked in the houses by the residents here. There was not a living thing on the streets. If it weren't for the light coming from the window, Vincent would have thought he was in a dead city.

A cry of surprise came from the sky, causing the mage to look up. A man fell rapidly from a high place. He was rolling in the air with his teeth and claws bared, and he was shouting for help in his hoarse throat, but most of the sound was pushed back into his lungs by the roaring air.

Vincent picked up the staff and wanted to step forward to release the Feather Falling Technique , hoping to save his life. However, a black shadow quickly passed by the man, and the little angel Soka rushed from the side, grabbed his feet, and flew up with the man.

Vincent hurried to catch up, only to find Shelley holding her waist and guarding a group of tied up townspeople in the open space of the town. Whenever someone cried and begged for mercy, the female drow would slap them without mercy.

Little Sokka flew to Shelley's side and put the man on the ground. Shelley pointed at the little angel from another team and said, "Go and see if he is a kind person."

"Oh..." Sokka agreed, tugging on the rope that bound the person , and took the other person flying into the sky. After a while, there was another scream in the sky, and the man who had just been sent high into the sky fell down.

Sokka caught him just as he was about to hit the ground and flew back to Shelley.

Vincent looked at all this and couldn't understand it at all. He walked forward and looked at Shelley and Sokka: "What are you two doing?"
