The Immortals Of The Wizarding World

Chapter 43 War! war!

Winters in the Empire are cold.

This year seems to be colder than usual due to the cold wave.

But it's no different for Eli, it's just a continuous two-point line between the Imperial Library and home.

Experiments have continued, but have always failed.

Of course, during this process, Eli did not give up meditation, because this is the foundation of his life, and the witchcraft has not fallen in the slightest, and he continues to learn new witchcraft.

He would occasionally go to the casino to have a little fun after get off work, but it would not be like before, just to play purely and try not to cheat.

If you lose, you go home, if you win, you go to Liuying Lane not far away.

However, due to the characteristics of wizards, they also win more and lose less.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

Eli has received a bit of news.

"The scholar test has been postponed?"

In Maester Lymon's office, Eli was a little surprised.

"Yes, it may be because of the cold winter that it is not easy for scholars from other places to come, so the plan is postponed to summer. You don't need to be too nervous, just relax." Bachelor Lemon comforted.

Eli nodded.

Becoming a scholar is only part of his plan, but it's okay if it's delayed, and it's not a big deal anyway. He used to be greedy for a salary increase, but now he has long looked down on the salary of the library.

Here, it's just trying to be safe.

"Well, the half-year delay will also make you more confident, so you should prepare well." Bachelor Lemon looked at Eli appreciatively.

He's getting old and it's hard to get on the rise.

But these students of his still have a bright future. After the Earl's incident last time, he also appreciates Eli more, and Eli never arrives late or leaves early, which makes him very appreciative.

Self-discipline is also a good quality.

"Well, teacher, I will prepare well." Eli nodded and left the room.

On the way downstairs, he looked at the frost outside the window.

I have an inexplicable feeling that the scholar test may not be able to be held next summer, and may have to be postponed.

But this time the reality did not go according to Eli's expectations.

Scholar testing has not been postponed.

May be canceled.

Because...the war is coming.

...

Imperial Calendar 310.

With winter coming to an end.

An earth-shattering event happened in the empire.

The Duke of Frostwolf in the north rebelled, and united with the northern grasslands, preparing to betray the empire and establish a new country.

Everything seems to be coming true just like the rumors in previous winters.

For a time, the empire was in turmoil.

Although there is no news from the king, everyone knows that the storm has begun to blow.

Sure enough, one day two days later.

As King Byrne VI issued a call-up order, he summoned the lords under his command to prepare to launch a war with Duke Frostwolf, and he had to go to the battlefield in person.

This surprised everyone.

...

Another half month.

Eli met the supreme ruler of the empire for the first time.

Byrne VI.

Saw it on Vermilion Bird Street leading out of town.

This is an old man, wearing silver armor, standing upright in front of the chariot. His beard is a little white, but the aura exuding from his body is the most powerful Eli has ever seen.

He was sure that it was the peak of the great knight.

On both sides of the king were knights on horseback, each of whom was at least a high-ranking knight, and behind them were long infantry, dressed in black racks, like a long dragon.

"Could this be the descendant of Salin Metatlin?" Eli looked at the old man, but unfortunately he didn't have a portrait of Salin Metatlin, otherwise maybe he could really confirm it.

"The war is about to start, should I eat mashed potatoes or goose breast tonight!" Standing in the crowd, Eli looked at it for a while and then left.

Fighting, as long as it doesn't hit King's Landing, has nothing to do with him.

The only pity is that this year's scholar test may actually be cancelled.

...

Time flies, and a month has passed.

The king's marching speed was much faster than Eli had imagined. In just half a month, he had arrived at the territory of Duke Frostwolf, followed by a large number of other lords.

And their opponent is the union of the Duke of Frostwolf and the Grassland.

The war has begun.

a month later.

The war is over.

The war ended much faster than Eli imagined. At first, he thought that since the Duke of Frostwolf dared to assassinate the king, or even rebel, he must be prepared, but he didn't expect to lose so badly in the battle.

However, the Duke of Frostwolf cannot be blamed for this.

It is said that the king was so brave that he actually directly led an army, then went deep into Frostwolf Castle, and pulled the Frostwolf Duke out of bed.

No one expected this, after all, the king was already seventy years old.

The war started hastily and ended even more hastily.

On the day of the king's triumph, Eli also came to visit.

He mixed with the crowd and saw the king again.

He was riding on a pitch-black warhorse with the blood of a monster. His appearance hadn't changed much from before, but Eli saw that the king's mental strength was not as strong as before.

Or in general burning.

It is estimated that it will live for a few years.

...

Just close to three or four months.

So many things happened, but it had a great impact on many people. With the death of a duke, a large area was blank again, and a large area of ​​nobles began to swallow like wolves.

But the king did not entrust them, but entrusted them to his second son, or His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who was also entrusted with the title of Grand Duke.

As for the eldest prince, the prince whom Eli had only heard of but never met, Eli reckoned that he was already preparing to inherit the throne.

Originally, it shouldn't be a problem to live thirty or forty years in the king's previous state, but now it is estimated that it will last seven or eight years at most, which makes the eldest prince who is almost forty years old an unexpected "surprise".

Of course, for Eli, these may affect him layer by layer, but the impact is very limited. After all, the library is not only independent of the empire, but he is just a librarian.

If even he can be greatly affected, he feels that the country should be almost gone.

Not to mention the scholar test, it was canceled directly, and the next time it will be held is also four years later.

For this matter, Maester Lemon also talked to Eli specifically, as if telling him not to be too anxious and let him continue to work hard.

Eli really doesn't care, isn't it just four years?

He has plenty of time.

And he's in a good mood recently. As time goes by, Eli's potion experiments are getting more and more perfect, and he can feel that the day when he can configure a low-grade potion is getting closer.

"Everything is getting better and better."
