The Amber Sword: One hundred and thirty-three acts Trentheim and young Thane (three) (first)

Act 103 Trentheim and young Thane (three) (first)

War of Black Rose broke out This year's winter was unusually cold. The grey sky seemed to be frozen into powder and fell down one after another.

Dielther lurked in the bushes on the mountain top overnight, almost frozen.

He reached out to catch these powders that fell from the sky. There was a slight cold in the palm of his hand, and the ice crystals turned on him. -- was snowflakes. This youngster raises head who still wore his blue string Wizard apprentice robe who seemed to be unchanged for thousands of years looked at the sky.

It's snowing.

The first snow this year.

He couldn't help thinking of the regular conversation between the adult Ciel and the young Thane. When talking about the situation in the north, the fate of the Archdukes's coalition and Her Highness the Princess ...

"The war in the north still dragged -- after the first snow"

Dielther is only a household noble son-in-law born in a small gentry. His hometown is Callas, which also belongs to a remote part of the kingdom. Although -- is noble family, after all, he has limited knowledge and can only watch those big men living forget it/that's all.

It's better than the average person, but the recent years have been worse year by year.

Dielther came out to take risks, and he knew very well that he wanted to change the fate of one's own. He systematically learned a period of time's Magic under the guidance of an wizard instructor, and communicated with the instructor to understand the outside world -- The chaotic world of this era has a fatal appeal to youngster like him.

The chaos seems to be full of opportunities.

So after the death of the instructor, Dielther embarked on a dream journey.

But his luck was not as good as he had imagined. Several of his friends from the same family died of illness during the trip. They had to take a break at Fir Tree Shire and then consider whether to return to the original road or move on.

I didn't expect to encounter this incident again. Grudin killed all his companions. The desperate Dielther only wanted to stay with the noble.

But sometimes destiny is so changeable.

On that night, he met the young Lord Thane, participated in that battle, and was fortunate to follow him afterwards. He later became the first member of the wizard group under Ciel.

As the deputy of Ciel's, he had the opportunity to participate in the discussion between Brando and this wizard Squire. -- Of course, the young man is the inseparable --. The two talk about the situation in the north, about the invasion of the black rose of Brahman, and about Kirrlutz .

The Lord Thane's vision has made Dielther see a whole new world, the height he had never thought of before.

It was also his first mentor who never talked to him.

At that moment, Dielther knew that it might be that already seized the opportunity, and the road to realize the dream already is near, or already has been realized.

Since then, he has become a wholehearted Brando's supporter. This time, he went to Pallas to listen to information, and he applied for it voluntarily.

However, the scout team needs a talent who is proficient in spell, so he was taken for granted.

Ciel also complained to Brando, saying that he snatched one of his capable deputies.

However, Dielther does not regret it. He feels that instead of staying in the obscurity of the adult, he might as well come out to attract the other's attention with actual actions.

He is an adventurer, otherwise he would not leave home.

youngster stared at the sky for a long time, and finally came back. Then he *** *** hands -- dared not move too much, so as not to attract the attention of the sentry below.

On the hill, he looked at a gray-yellow tent in the forest below and the camps where people came and went.

Then he heard a loud noise coming from behind. His companion was on alert in that direction, and it was clear that he was his own. Of course, there was another possibility.

Dielther immediately tightened his nerves.

"White ... dish ..."

There was a weird command in the forest. It was said that they were taught by Ciel.

Dielther immediately relaxed, it was his own person, he turned back and replied: "Who is the lettuce --?"

"Ma Youfu."

Dielther identified this name as another apprentice wizard of the same team. The guy originally had only an nickname but no name --. The name was Thane for him.

It's such a bad luck guy, Dielther can't help thinking about it.

"How about Dielther, is this the camp for Pallas Knight?" The apprentice wizard cat wearing a gray robe walked over his waist, squatted beside him and asked quietly: "But the rats said that there is no camp -- here."

"This is not Pallas' camp."

Dielther shook his head.

"No?" Yo-Yo Ma frowned.

youngster nodded slowly, he slightly moved his frozen stiff limbs: "They are mountain people."

"mountain people?"

"Aren't they fighting with Pallas? --?" Yo-Yo Ma asked in surprise: "Why are they here? Could it be that they intend to invade at this time? That's a godsend!"

But Dielther shook his head, it was not that simple: "There are many mountain people, they may be for us."

"What?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, I'm more familiar with them than you. Okay, let's pass the message to the reporting team, we're ready to retreat," Dielther replied: "It's snowing, we can't hide people here, we need to change Come here. "

Youfu Ma looked at his one's own companion and nodded.

...

"mountain people?"

The snowflakes in the sky have become denser.

It didn't take long for Brando to face a mercenary before leaving south gate. The other party was an Elementalist -- youngster and recognized this man as -- Ciel's.

Ciel was originally selected from mercenary and adventurers by Brando's. Those who have spellcast ability -- understand tactics wizard, third-rate Elementalist, liar, witch doctor pretending to be a ghost and a large number of apprentices -- formed a so-called wizard .

Because the wizard of Gold-level Domain with Ciel is there as a signboard, this move did not take any effort, and even many wizard voluntarily left Mercenary Company to join this so-called wizard group; although this incident once attracted criticism at each mercenary commander, However, because Brando is supported in the back, it has not really encountered any trouble.

And Brando knows that the advantages of using spellcaster in a centralized way have been proven by both players and NPC in the later wars. Of course, Ciel complained to him more than once that these people are not worthy of being called 'wizard regiments'. It ’s better to say that the hodgepodge of the three teachings and the nine is better, but Brando does n’t care, at least in his opinion --

This is his first wizard group.

Also, there are many talented people among these people. If you train a little, there will be no problem in forming the backbone of the wizard Association in the future. Unfortunately, although Ciel has the strength of Magister Level, it has no experience of training apprentices. Therefore, this so-called wizard group still seems to be an empty shelf.

But it is not completely useless. These spellcasters who have even a little strength follow a certain mentor, or at least have been apprentices of a period of time. Among them, there are even academics with a scientific background. They have one thing in common.

That's all hyphenation.

So Brando, Amandina, Tiger Sparrow and Ciel usually use these people for intelligence and some paperwork. Apparently he is now encountering one of the 'intelligence departments' of the so-called Tiger Sparrow of Correct.

With regard to the Brando's question, the Elementalist nodded: "Yes, lord, Ciel, let me tell you that you may need this news urgently. This information was sent back by those from the north. It said mountain people About -- "

Those people north?

Brando was a bit frustrated before he remembered that he did let Tiger Sparrow and Leto organize the staff to penetrate the Pallas area, so as to collect the news of the Count of Radnor army assembly.

Tiger Sparrow is solely responsible for this matter, but he also knows the specific plan. Ciel allows his subordinates to consolidate third-rate wizard from Mercenary, or apprentices into these scout squads, disguised as adventurers -- so Send a message back.

The method of returning the message is also very simple, but this method was put forward by himself, animal messenger. Of course, this is not a new method, but a method of using Familiar. -- is used before Year of Cave Beast. Kirrlutzian already uses November War to transmit information. However, in this era, few people think of sending wizard to the front line. Therefore, this method is far from spreading in this era.

But until the outbreak of War of Black Rose, a few years later, the first Monster Wave arrived, and the number of people with wizard talent increased day by day, and this approach gradually spread.

In the late war, this already was a very mature method. But at that time already had a more Stability alternative method --, for example, with the help of Magic appliances, but Brando does not have this condition yet, so he immediately thought of this ‘native method’.

With the animal messenger transmitting information, the range of an apprentice's transmitting information is about one day and one night. Theoretically, the information is transmitted back and forth through the station. The information that used to be delayed for almost a week is now only an instant. Can reach Fir Tree Shire.

However, Tiger Sparrow and Ciel have limited manpower, especially those who have both spellcast ability and scout skills are rare. Therefore, the eyeliner team has actually established two or three so far.

So their surveillance of Pallas knight's shire is actually quite limited, and Brando didn't expect to get useful news so quickly with this level of surveillance.

But now, it seems that those noble still look down on them.

Maybe already has been given enough attention as an opponent of war, but outside of war, Pallas is still not careful about them.

However, it ’s easy to understand. Although Brando now has few manpower, it even exceeds the Aouine's regular army -- by means. Although he does not have this consciousness, the traditional soldier such as Knight Pallas can be a headache to deal with.

Put wizard into the front line as scout? In nobles's view, does this kind of thing seem like a human thing?

Only Brando who is accustomed to this practice will be accustomed to forget it/that's all. In fact, when he first proposed this idea, he was not only the conservative Amandina, but even Ciel was shocked.
