What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 89 Inheritance
Someone had informed the fortress very early on.

The convoy first entered the Winter City under the fortress, passed the main street from north to south, and passed through the city all the way.

Scenes of this scale seldom appear here. Residents around the city, old and young, stood on both sides of the street to watch.

Colin rode on the horse, and found that the construction of Twilight City was like a joke. The houses were not planned, and the streets were scattered all over the place. It was not so much a city, but a group of tribes with walls.

It can be seen from the people's clothes and yellow and thin faces that the life of the people in the "capital" is not very good, and this is already the result of Oliver Gray's concentration of Xia Ya's resources in Twilight. Others can be imagined. How impoverished the place has become.

The role of Twilight City is to transport personnel and supplies to the fortress. Almost all the expenses of the 2000 elite guards are provided by the more than 5 people in the city.

The fortress and the city are not far apart, but because of the terrain, the only connecting road is very steep.

It took nearly half an hour for the convoy to successfully enter the Winter Fortress located on the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

Relatively speaking, the construction of the fortress is obviously much more serious. Judging by Ke Lin's little knowledge of architecture, the entire fortress is mostly built with 3 feet square Qingyuan stone barriers. This kind of stone is not only extremely hard, but also resists soil. The best material for magic, combined with reinforced magic lines, it is almost unshakable below the level of a great magician.

Although the orcs don't know magic, it is clear that all conceivable factors have been taken into consideration at the beginning of the construction of the fortress. This design is almost the same as the Thunder City wall.

More than 20 carriages entered the inner courtyard of the fortress together with six rhinos, and it didn't look crowded. A female magician in her fifties and wearing a magic robe was waiting at the entrance, and came forward after Colin dismounted.

"Glad to meet you, Lord Wayne, my name is Madeleine, welcome to Winter Fortress."

"Hello, Ms. Madeleine."

Colin was familiar with the main personnel in the fortress as early as several months.

Madeleine is the Chief Magic Advisor of the Winter Fortress, a high-level magician, and a figure that Duke Oliver relies on very much.

The reason why the other party didn't mention her position when she introduced herself was obviously because she knew that the young man in front of her had become the new Lord of Winter, and whether she could continue to serve as the chief advisor of the fortress was not up to her.

Madeleine didn't add much politeness, and quickly said: "If you don't mind the tiredness of the journey, Duke Oliver Gray hopes to see you immediately."

After finishing speaking, he added softly: "My lord Duke's time is running out."

"Please lead the way."

……

in the bedroom.

Several people stood beside the hospital bed.

Colin looked at Oliver Gray, who was half lying in the arms of the great magician Lord Harris.

Even though he knew that the Duke of Shaya was exhausted, Colin still sighed with embarrassment at the face that was so old that it was almost human-like.

He didn't speak immediately, but called the coral that came in with him closer.

The little girl had obviously been told what to do, and she understood everything when she saw the scene in front of her.

"May the Holy Light protect you."

Different from the usual catchphrase, Coral's tone and tone this time are extraordinarily serious and pious.

The next moment, a white light bloomed from the tip of her index finger, and Coral immediately pointed at Oliver's forehead.

The light entered the body and went out instantly.

The Duke's face became ruddy visibly, and he, who could barely speak, suddenly recovered.

"I can't help it, I can only last for a while. If the teacher is here, maybe he can live a few more months." Shan Shan looked at the dying old man in front of him, feeling depressed.

Duke Oliver's eyes became brighter, and he immediately beckoned for Colin to pass.

"I have seen the Duke."

"Okay, you came in time." Oliver forced a smile: "I'm afraid that I won't see you before I die, and I will be very worried if I hand over the fortress to someone I haven't seen before."

"I will never let you down." Colin said seriously.

Oliver waved behind Colin again.

A young knight in armor stepped forward.

"Roderick, my son, your loyalty and bravery will not disappear with my death. I need you to assure me that after my death, you will still guard the fortress wholeheartedly. To Colin Wayne, as to Colin Wayne I'm just as loyal." Oliver coughed violently after finishing the long sentence.

"I assure you, my lord duke." The young knight knelt on one knee in front of the bed, the sound of armor rubbing against each other.

"Ms. Madeleine." Oliver looked at the middle-aged female magician: "I beg you, take care of Sophia for me, and if you can, please continue to serve the fortress."

"I assure you."

"Thank you." The Duke finally looked at a young magician beside Madeleine: "Sophia, my dear niece, I have not fulfilled my duty as an uncle, just like I have not fulfilled my duty as a brother to your mother, I hope you don't blame me."

"You have always been my best uncle." Sophia choked on Oliver and sobbed.

"Okay." Oliver seemed to have completed his final mission, and he relaxed instantly. He turned his head back with difficulty and said, "Your Excellency Harris, you have worked hard these days."

"It is my honor, Your Excellency the Duke." Harris rarely showed gentleness on his always serious face.

"Now, please let me sleep peacefully. This is not the end, but another beginning. I will reunite with Barbara. We will go to the plains of Esland for vacation, and we will go boating on the lake of Zenith Mountain. , I have been waiting for this moment for a long time..." Duke Oliver murmured and slowly closed his eyes.

"Yes, my lord the Duke."

Harris let go of the hand that had been resting on Oliver's shoulder.

next moment.

The Duke of Xia Ya, who had been in power for 35 years, stopped breathing.

Lying on Oliver, Sophia, the Duke's niece who felt the change, burst into tears.

……

on the rooftop.

Colin walked behind Hasli, who was looking away with his hands behind his back.

Since the initial assessment, he has never seen this great magician again.

"Your Excellency 'Raging Fire and Thunder'."

"How is Thunder City? Are your Majesty and His Excellency 'Storm Guide' all right?"

"Everything is fine, just as you left it."

"That's good." Harris sighed: "I originally wanted to stay and help you for a while, at least until you get familiar with the environment before leaving. Unfortunately, His Majesty's order has been issued. I have to go to the east to help the army there deal with the pirate problem. , after paying tribute to the duke, he will leave."

"I wish you have a nice trip."

"That little girl is from the Holy Light Church." Harris asked.

"Yes."

"Although there are a few fire spells in classical magic that have healing effects, they are far from comparable to light spells."

"Your Excellency, why did the Duke's condition suddenly deteriorate?" Colin asked.

"The frequency of orc attacks has increased recently, and they almost climbed onto the walls of the fortress a few times. The Duke was in a hurry, and his condition relapsed. I have no good solution. In the past few days, I have to stay close."

"Thank you for your hard work." Colin said.

"I am very happy that you were able to give up the superior life in Thunder City and take the initiative to come here to take responsibility. I admit that I was wrong at the beginning." Harris reached out and patted Colin on the shoulder: "Colin Wayne , you are the most qualified to be Roman Sagan's disciple."
