Othua's War Banner

Chapter 25 0025: Character

The point of contention among scholars is: Was he a shaman or a warlock?

Ken's method of treating the horse was extremely clever, without any ripples of magic power, but he actually recovered the wound, with top speed and curative effect.

"I heard that he is the battle banner of this tribe?"

It's unbelievable that such a young man with southern blood can become the battle banner of the northern tribes.

McGonagall lifted the partition, and the scholars fell silent.

……

Ken rode Fei Wolf King at the front of the team.

He looked up at the dim sky, the clouds had thickened at some point, and the snowflakes were falling down.

"Sir, a female scholar is looking for you."

"Did you ask anything?" He said flatly, without even turning his head. "If it's unreasonable, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Kuima shook his head, drove the wolf forward, handed over a silk bag, and took two steps back.

Ken took out a palm-sized cyanotic ore.

[Material: Mi Qiang Ore]

[Quality: Treasure]

[The rare materials produced in the southern border countries, the strategic materials of the kingdom, circulate in the black market in small quantities, and are also held by scholars and famous craftsmen. 】

"Tell her to come and find me."

"Forehead."

Kuima looked at the snowstorm outside, thinking that Zhan Jing didn't seem to be considerate to the opposite sex, so he didn't refute, and went back to tell the female scholar what he had said.

Mag didn't mind, she brushed away her broken hair and jumped onto the wolf's back.

Quema is more youthful.

A poor boy in a remote place in the north feels ashamed in front of the women in the capital of the kingdom.

He walked down the ground and patted his mount.

Feilang trotted a few steps and came to the front of the team.

"Huh," Mag spat mist, his teeth trembling with cold, "it seems that you know the goods."

Ken turned his head to the side, but his expression still showed no joy or sorrow. The reason for his indifference was simple—this group of people walked with the refugees, but their circumstances were vastly different, and they were emotionally disappointed.

He was willing to strike up a conversation because this woman named [Mag Lierbota] was not pretentious.

"Why didn't you take that knife with you?"

"Huh~ You, you said you wouldn't hurt us." She replied in the snowstorm. "Besides, you can take it away at any time."

Ken held up the silk bag and asked the other party to express his intention.

"You are more knowledgeable than those looters. This thing is quite expensive. I hope to use it to help you."

"what's up?"

"Rescue."

[Mission: Survive by craftsmanship]

[Progress: unlimited time]

[The chief engineer of Norlin Library has been kidnapped, and now his life and death are uncertain. Her student McGonagall asks you to rescue him. 】

Ken didn't want to cause any further complications, but the remarks made him hesitate.

Each mission will bring something new, and judging from the results, it is beneficial to him.

Mag's fingers were cold, and she saw the young Zhan Jing frowning.

After the looters attacked them, they originally wanted to send someone to King Norin's military tent to demand a ransom, but the snakehead found an opportunity to escape with two carriages.

Her companions were all immersed in the calmness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe...

Nobody said anything about those who didn't escape.

If you don't fight for it yourself, when you return to Nuolin, the king will personally write the eulogy, and the college will hold a symbolic silence, and your teacher will pass away forever.

Mag fell silent, and a questioning voice suddenly came from beside him.

"How can you be sure that he wasn't killed?"

The tone was still so flat, but it gave her a surge of hope.

"No, the looters have something to ask of him, and they won't do it casually."

With snowflakes on his head, Mag said that his teacher had been immersed in ancient architecture and city defense for many years, which was why the Kingdom sent him to the Red Maple Heights.

Raiders have a hiding place in the mountains.

After hearing what the snakehead said about the old man's abilities, they coerced him into making plans for their den, so that they would no longer have to worry about tribal liquidation or army conquest.

Hearing this, Ken suddenly became interested.

Thornton Kaya's fortifications are useless, and it desperately needs a visionary renovation plan.

"The teacher was taken away alone, so he didn't follow us. Speaking of which, the escape route was quietly guided by the teacher."

"But only you, bring this up to me."

Ken was probing her with sharp words: "It seems that your companions are ungrateful, but you, Mike Lerbota, seem to be more noble."

"Human nature is not noble."

Without the sullenness of being exposed, nor the complacency of the trend, the female scholar said: "I can be selfish and please my conscience."

The exchange ends here.

The wolf riding deputy held up the torch.

The convoy turned into a flat river valley, and the Freelancers stepped forward to explore the road, looking for a place where they could temporarily camp.

Ken only intends to take Kuima and the two Freelancers there. Judging from the collected information, there are not many opponents, and it is a small business. If it is just to save people, it does not need much action.

Besides, convoys also need guards.

In the final analysis, it is still because the number of troops is too small, so we must find a way to continue to expand the number of recruits.

He noticed one thing.

When setting up the temporary camp, some refugees paid tribute to Mag. Among the group of scholars, only she was very popular.

Judging from the information from the audience: she seems to often distribute food, and she helped many refugees when the snake head was still alive.

This made Ken change a little bit. His bitter attitude seemed unfair to her, but the other party never refuted it...

Well, the impression has increased a bit.

At this time, Mag was sitting by the shaft of the car warming up by the fire.

She is also carefully observing Ken and his group. They do not have the barbarism of the northern tribes. On the contrary, in terms of discipline and execution, they have the taste of the southern kingdoms.

McGonagall once read a note in the Imperial Library.

A strong team has its own uniqueness, or it values ​​honor, or it is unscrupulous, or it is kind and decent, or it is bloodthirsty and easy to kill...

And this is largely influenced by the commander.

Ken was a great leader, at least in terms of the words and deeds of his subordinates.

A patrolling wolf rider reminds Meg to rest.

In the wilds of Palotusbi, any little physical strength is precious, and they must be ready to escape at any time.

In the dead of night, the snowflakes fell heavily.

Mag was half asleep and half awake when he heard movement outside the carriage. It should be that the team to rescue the teacher had officially set off.

She rolled over, curious.

"Ken Bouvier, who are you?"

……

The same night.

Frost and snow fell into the cabin at [Rag Pass].

Icicles hung from the eaves of the animal skins, the cold air was kept out by the fire inside, and the water dripped on the window sills, disturbing people's mind.

In front of the desk, the apprentice put down the quill for the sixth time.

He wants to cry but has no tears, and has no intention of finishing the drawing. His mind is full of the scene when the two carriages leave, and his heart is full of unwillingness.

"Hey, why are we still here!"

No one responded, and after a while, humming came from behind.

"Teacher, now is not the time for you to practice chords, think about where this is, wolf den, we are still in trouble!"

Hey--

"Let the gentleman outside the house come in to add firewood. It's so wet that the ink will smudge." Among the papers all over the floor, an elder took off his gold-rimmed glasses. "Son, we live by our crafts, keep that in mind."

He has white beard and hair, a warm smile, and a somewhat fatter figure, exuding a peaceful air.
