Chapter 439: Overnight Stay
The villages that Lynch saw covered the entire plain, which meant that the dwarves here could form an autonomous region.
Even more rare are the Pegasus that occasionally fly up to the clouds, with wizards wearing robes and jeweled head ornaments riding on the winged horses.
With the help of the light of colored gems, they flew busily to the south, and the same number of Pegasus returned from the south to the north with colorful light, returning to Middenheim.
It's night time now, so I guess something important must have happened.
It is highly unlikely that wizards in the wild can tame a beast like Pegasus. Only wizards who graduated from regular academies and have funding from imperial lords can afford it.
You know, for these young species that are not favored by the ancient saints, an ordinary spellcaster who can create a big fireball is considered well-trained, and there are very few people who can cast spells correctly when facing the enemy.
Rather than expecting a wizard who has not received systematic training to kill a lot on the battlefield, it is better to pray that he will not be driven crazy by the extreme emotions of the dead in the killing ground.
Spellcasters who can master the second sight as flexibly as Eugen are considered spellcasting masters in the countryside. Many more people don’t know how to shut down or suppress it when they are blown into a mess.
However, Lynch had no doubt that if Eugen was asked to challenge the battle wizard in the sky, he would not be able to recite even a complete spell.
I'm afraid he can only rely on his innate intuition and invisible guidance to subconsciously dismantle the enemy's spell. Lynch never thought that Eugen's eloquent boasting had any truth.
Darkness has completely fallen. On nights other than the evil moon, travelers entering at night can always find a place to stay.
The originally huge convoy began to disperse as it entered a cluster of villages. Every time it passed through several neighboring villages, several teams separated from the convoy.
They had survived the most difficult journey. For these civilians, it was somewhat of a feat to cross the Shadow Forest and go straight through the Duncanwald Forest while getting lost.
In the end, the huge flow of cars was reduced to only the carriage driven by Eugen and the group of refugees who followed them.
To prevent any trouble, they simply disguised themselves.
Out of his indulged pickyness about the quality of life, the Oracle chose the largest inn.
It is located in the middle of the village cluster, next to a stream. Standing on the second floor, you can overlook the high mountains in the north and the orderly distributed fields.
There is a pond on the west side that separates it from the neighboring village. There is a small birch forest on the east side, and the sparse shadows of the trees cannot block the lights from the neighboring village.
Lynch believed that unless it was a large-scale tribe of beastmen, they would not have the ability to attack these villages. Not to mention the sentries on duty, the local farmers and hunters alone would be enough to make a small army busy.
The young creature walked into the tavern and prepared to stay on the second floor, while Lynch continued to listen and walk around bored.
The two wizards who had passed by the convoy before also arrived at the village later. The old wizard looked calm, but Lynch could sense the suspicion and uneasiness in his heart.
Walking at night is not a pleasant experience for a spellcaster, but fortunately this is already the radiation area of Middenheim.
The younger wizard almost hid his head in his coat, and he probably lost his composure at the slightest disturbance.
Lynch thought they would coincidentally walk into the tavern where Tigris was staying, but they stopped in a village further out and randomly entered an inn.
This made the Lizardmen less entertained, as the "Elemental Theory" and the "Eight Winds of Magic Theory" failed to collide and debate on the spot.
The founder of the theory of elements, the "wise man" Gunther thousands of years ago was inspired by alchemists and explained magic in terms of earth, wind, water and fire.
He believed that all things were made up of four elements through different combinations, and magic must also be divided into the four elements in order to work with the basic elements of the material world.
If there had been no advent of the ancient saints and Isil's malicious interference with the physical universe, if humans had completed their transformation on their own millions of years later and developed according to normal civilization, before science was enlightened, such a theory would be the truth.
Even now, this simple theory was considered the best interpretation at the time.
It bears a striking resemblance to the theories taught to mankind by Teclis, but it is only a resemblance.
All species that have not forgotten the ancient civilization know the truth about the Winds of Magic, because the most advanced aliens in the universe at that time, who had reached the pinnacle of magic and science, taught them everything they could.
In Lynch's memory, due to the Empire's abandonment of the elemental system and the establishment of its own magic academy, most elemental mages should have lived in seclusion.
The more enlightened wizards joined the Imperial Academy of Magic, while the less enlightened ones wandered around the city of Nuln, continuing to pass on the elemental theory.
Compared to dark wizards and awakened ones hidden among the crowd, elemental mages are more stable.
All magic other than a single wind of magic is actually compound magic, a dangerous, unstable mixture. Advanced magic combed with correct techniques is the most stable type of magic. The most dangerous is black magic. Elemental magic is neither as powerful nor as dangerous as black magic.
At least they have a systematic way of inheritance, instead of groping around haphazardly, and ultimately progressing or dying based on knowledge from unknown sources.
Naturally, competitions between wizards are complicated, and the right system can make learning magic more efficient, but as long as one has exceptional talent, the resulting composite spells will not necessarily be weaker than those of other magic systems.
If Teclis were sent to a cemetery filled with resentful souls and the dead, he might not be able to defeat a "Lich Master" named Heinrich Kemmler a hundred years later.
It is estimated that in a few decades, there will be a chance to see this wild wizard in Bretonnia with a few scattered skeleton warriors, ransacking cemeteries and looking for materials for magic research, and being chased by villagers.
No matter what magic system it is, chaos is indispensable, and every devout believer of Sigmar will more or less cause trouble for wizards.
Lin Qi originally thought that they were elemental mages who went to Middenheim to avoid the persecution of witch hunters, but their conversation told the lizard man that this was not the case. The tavern was noisy, and the lively arguments drove away the tranquility, but could not drive away the sharpness hidden in it.
The young men in wizard robes followed their teacher uneasily. They had no gorgeous crowns, beautiful Pegasus, or swords decorated with gold and silver.
But just by wearing a robe, they can gain the same fear and alienation from the people.
The young man is almost accustomed to the discrimination and jealousy of ordinary people. What makes him uneasy is not the hostility, but the dissatisfaction with the status quo that people are talking about.
It seemed that everyone thought that life was terrible. They exchanged opinions with each other, scattered in small groups around the table, like scars on the world.
