Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

As a priest of the Lapruk people, Fast is of course also a mage.

And like Leon, the magic he comes into contact with is the oldest ancient magic.

However, compared to Leon, who owns the ancient archives, the magic passed down by successive generations of priests of Lapruk has a narrower path, and it is basically an auxiliary stream.

Generally speaking, it can be understood as a buff that can provide group gains to the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, allowing the already brave Lapruk warriors to explode into even stronger combat effectiveness.

But no matter what type it is, it ultimately belongs to the category of ancient magic.

During this time, Leon, as a beginner, sought advice from the old priest from time to time. At the same time, he also provided Fast with a lot of ancient magic that was not recorded in the inheritance of the Lapruk people. Spell.

Therefore, whether it is Leon or Fast, they are very aware of the tyranny of ancient magic. Naturally, they must pay more attention to Collins, a new mage, in order to prevent the leakage of ancient magic.

Especially since there are no truly top archmage-level experts in Antoria right now, if he is too showy and attracts covetous attention, he will inevitably encounter disaster.

Just be careful and you can never go wrong.

"In this case, Lord, why don't we continue to study ancient magic?"

After discussing many matters within the territory, Fast spoke immediately.

With the blessing of the Jimena family, Fast's problems suddenly became less frequent.

He no longer needs to worry about the food of the tribe, and no longer needs to consider external threats. Apart from making up family history for the Jimena family, he only has to study ancient magic with his own lord.

There are undoubtedly commonalities between different ancient magics.

Especially after thousands of years, the texts recording spells have undergone some changes. With Fast's assistance, it will undoubtedly bring great benefit to Leon's exploration of ancient magic.

"Then let's start with the Wind Blade Technique!"

Leon said enthusiastically.

…

Thorny leads forty kilometers to the west.

A three-person team was traveling through the mountains and forests.

The three members of the reconnaissance team are Juan, Andrew, and a spiritual young man from the Lapruk tribe.

Juan is a militiaman from Antolia. He has been to the mountains before and has also sent letters to Mr. Leon, so he has experience in exploring the wild.

And Andrew is the leader of the young generation in Lapruk. Although his brain is not very good, he is better because of his strong skills. If he hadn't suddenly fallen into the army camp of Antolia, he might not have been patrolled. The militiamen caught him.

As for the spirited guy, he is the only Lapluke in this team who has ever been to the southwest highlands, and he plays the role of a part-time guide.

Since Leon has made up his mind to focus on the southwest highlands as the next development focus, the more intelligence and information about that land, the better.

Therefore, the mission of the three-person team is clear.

The first is to draw a route map to the southwestern highlands. This route must be convenient for marching but not too tortuous.

The second is to understand the current situation of the Southwest Highlands. If you want to develop the Southwest Highlands, you must first know yourself and your enemy. Only by knowing the number of strange tall-footed birds can you further prepare countermeasures.

Even though Antolia is the fiefdom of the Jimena family, Antolia does not have a clear scope at all. Except for the northern boundary adjacent to other nobles, other places can generally be regarded as Schrödinger's boundaries.

At least before Leon, the area actually ruled by the Jimena family was only the land around the Thorn Territory.

Therefore, in the minds of the Antolian people, Leon's goal of actually controlling the southwest highlands can be roughly equated with the expansion of territory.

Especially young guys like Juan and Andrew were excited and excited when they heard about it.

Even though they could only eat easy-to-carry black bread and wild fruits in the mountains and forests every day, they still walked through the deep forests with determination.

There was no existing road leading to the southwestern highlands in the Thorn Territory, which directly caused them to walk for three full days before crossing the vast sea of ​​​​forests and setting foot on the highlands scattered with thorns and weeds.

"Is this the Southwest Highlands?"

Juan looked at the vast plateau in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Due to the higher altitude, the temperatures in the southwestern highlands are obviously much lower than in the Thorn Collar.

The sky was filled with black mist that was far thicker than the Thorns Territory. Under the refraction of the setting sun, the clouds on the horizon seemed to reflect a faint pink color.

There is no tall vegetation here, only wildly growing weeds and broken rocks scattered around, giving people a rough and lonely feeling.

As a few people walked forward slowly, the ground under their feet gradually changed from mud to rough sand and gravel. There was still a lot of rainwater in the gaps between the rocks. The thorns on the highlands were difficult to explore through these stone gaps. Come out and bring some yellowish color to this lonely highland.

"Keep your voice down!"

The spiritual guy who was the guide lowered his voice, quickly waved his hand towards Juan, and used his eyes to signal the few people present to look at the huddled black figure not far away.

Is that the tall strange bird?

In Juan's sight, the prostrate black figures on the ground seemed to have shrunk themselves into half a sphere, and their bodies were covered with black feathers as dark as briquettes.

"Underneath them are the eggs of the tall strange birds."

"Are they hibernating?" Juan asked softly.

"Those guys don't have the habit of hibernating, but the severe cold in winter may freeze to death the young birds that have not yet hatched, so except for hunting time, the tall-footed monster birds usually curl up on their nests to provide for their birds. Egg……"

Before the spirited boy finished speaking, he hurriedly dragged Juan and Andrew to the back of a raised rock with one hand and one at a time.

After a while, several people carefully poked out three heads from the back of the rock.

I saw the black shadow not far away suddenly shook a few times, and then stood up from the ground unsteadily.

"so tall!"

Juan couldn't help but widen his eyes and stared blankly at the black figure standing up not far away.

The length of the two long legs of the tall-footed strange bird is higher than that of an Antorian standing on tiptoe. It can be said that the bird lives up to its name.

But compared to the long and slender bird legs, its body is extremely plump, like a jet-black oversized briquette.

The head and body seemed to be connected together, and the wings on both sides were only about the size of a palm.

Under the huge eyeballs, the sharp and pale beak looks particularly thick, like a giant ax embedded under the skull.

Juan had no doubt that if he had been pecked, he would have died on the spot.

Reader asked: Author, you are so handsome! May I ask why you don’t buy slaves if you are short of people?

Author's answer: There are two main reasons. One is because before the birth of Moon Velvet, Antolia was also short of money; the other is because the Kingdom of Andal has been peaceful for a long time and has no prisoners of war.

The first point is the main reason, and the second point is used by the author to make up the numbers.
