171. Grand Ducal Palace, Province of Durva


A huge magic teleportation array was set up on the lawn next to the fountain of the Magic Academy, and the metal pillars engraved with the magic pattern array exuded a really strong magical aura, and the huge space-time portal was different from the portals I had seen before, the teleportation door was no longer like a mirror without waves in an ancient well, but like a space-time rift, and countless fine magic particles were constantly sucked into the hollow rift.The expressions of the neatly arranged students of the Royal Academy of Magic were different, some looked extremely excited, some were extremely nervous, some were curious, and some were chatting with their friends to make themselves seem less nervous, but for these magic students, there are not many opportunities to travel across the plane, so many people are extremely looking forward to this trip to the Hierro plane.I got together with Noah amid the protests of some of the students in the back.Noah's first sentence said to me, the members of the Dragon Society have been trying to find me in trouble in the past few days, but they have not been able to find me, but this matter has spread crazy in the Royal Academy of Magic, and almost everyone knows that I have offended the people of the Dragon Society, and I am in big trouble.Xue Li.

Newman, dressed in a magic suit with a light gray shirt and trousers, popped up from behind Noah, smiled at me, said hello, patted my arm, and whispered to me, "Jiga, my friends and I will be on your side!"

”I smiled gratefully at her, it seemed that William of the Dragon Society had made the whole Royal Academy of Magic aware of it.The dragon club has always occupied this position in the first club of the Academy of Magic, and it is also because all along, almost every freshman registers, there will be one or two dragon blood mages, or by virtue of the family's magic inheritance or blood inheritance, they have become very rare dragon grammarians, it is said that some powerful four-turn dragon grammar grammarists can learn forbidden spell-level magic dragon summoning, and those dragon blood mages can transform into powerful dragon warriors who are half human and half dragon.After listening to Noah's news, I was also speechless for a while, I didn't expect to have a bad relationship with the Dragon Society for no reason, it was because of Le Die's relationship.Noah still looked heartless, touched the leather armor I was wearing, and asked me with admiration: "Why do you dress like this, the style of this leather armor is really special, oh my!"

What did you think of giving up the magic robes that the magician was most proud of, how did you think that you would wear a leather armor with magic patterns like those warriors?

”Before I could answer, he let out a sigh of admiration and whispered to me: "This leather armor battle skirt is very trendy, and the magic pattern on it is also very exquisite, tell me, you have been out for the past few days, is it because of this magic pattern structure?"

”Noah guessed that I disappeared after taking a leave of absence during this time, and I went to get myself such a magic pattern costume.With a wry smile on my face, I put my arm around his shoulders, tugged at the hem of the leather armor with my hand, and said to him, "This set of demonic patterns was almost all given to me by the Yerkis scholars, and I have been dealing with some personal matters in the past few days, and you will find out later." ”Noah saw that my mouth was very strict, and he refused to speak, so he didn't ask, but looked at the leather armor on my body with great interest, looking very interested.I heard him ask me: "Jijia, you are really an alternative magician, although the main purpose of our Sword and Rose Society is to find a way to combine magic and martial arts, but the general members also have to wear magic robes, they hold magic swords or mysterious swords, spell blades and other weapons in their hands, just in the event of a sudden attack, can stop the assassin for a moment, this is enough, why do you have to wear a leather armor?"

”I exposed the handle of the axe in my magic fanny pack, patted it on it, and said to Noah, "Of course, it's for the convenience of the battle!"

”Noah asked me in surprise, "You are wearing such leather armor, do you really want to fight those people in close combat?"

”"Of course!"

There was no hesitation in my answer.Noah stared at Ruka and Karantso for a long time before whispering to me, half-jokingly, "You two strong orc servants match your style of leather armor very well. ”Seeing that I was speechless for a while, he added: "I haven't seen anyone in the academy with such a cool orc!"

”The team was moving forward little by little, and the magicians of the Royal Academy of Magic lined up and walked into the teleportation magic array.The teleportation circle was like the bloody jaw of a giant beast.As I looked into the teleportation circle, William was just about to walk into the teleportation circle, and as if sensing my gaze, he turned his head and saw me in the crowd, his face visibly surprised, and then with that sinister smile.The friends around him also looked at me curiously, glanced at me casually, and thought that my appearance was very ordinary, and turned around and smiled at William, and I didn't know what to say, which made William's face a little unnatural.At this time, the magic teacher guarding the door of the teleportation magic array began to urge them, and the two of them walked into the teleportation magic array together, and disappeared into the magic circle along with those mana particles.When Noah followed my gaze, William and his friends had already walked in, Noah didn't even see their backs, Noah didn't see the color on my face, he still looked interested, and said to me: "The day before yesterday, Princess Sha came to the academy to look for you, but unfortunately you weren't there. ”Noah and I were chatting as we slowly moved forward with the long line.Next to the student team, there was a whole row of servants, almost every servant was carrying large and small packages, even the shield warrior servants beside Noah, except for Karantso and Minotaur Ruka beside me, the two of them were only wearing a simple battle armor, and even the Minotaur Ruka's battle armor was stained with some dried blood stains.Karantso carries a two-handed broadsword on his back, while the Minotaur Ruka is a double-edged axe, no human warrior can ever despise an orc warrior, tracing back to the previous hundreds of years of battles between orcs and humans of all sizes, if there are no magicians and priests behind the human race, then the orc warrior is completely superior to the human warrior in all aspects.Finally, it was Noah's turn to walk into the huge black hole like a crack in time and space, and when I stepped into the teleportation magic array, the rich spatial magic elements wrapped my whole body, as if I was wrapped in a huge cocoon, and then walked through the endless darkness, I didn't need to control those huge cocoons, I felt that there were countless cocoons around me that were flowing in the same direction, and they were merging into a river in the darkness.Everything around is unknown, I know that those endless darkness is the rift of time and space, once lost here, the consequences are unimaginable, everyone will have an inexplicable fear of the unknown, although it only took a few breaths of time, I saw a beam of light shining in front of me, and countless black cocoons poured into the door of light, but I still felt that it seemed to have waited for centuries.It wasn't until I broke through the gate of light, my feet on the solid ground, and a heart hanging high in the air finally fell back to its original place.Noah's face next to him didn't look much better than mine, his face was pale, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and before we could take a breath, he was urged by the guards on the side and said: "Young magicians, please go out along the stone steps and follow the order of the team, please don't stop and crowd at the door of the teleportation array, there are still people coming out one after another, don't stop." ”On the other side, there was a female voice like a silver bell that kept saying to us: "Welcome to the Royal Academy of Magic's Heavenly Pride to the Mansion of the Duke of Samoyed, this is the Grand Duke's Palace located in Dulva Province, on behalf of the Duke, I welcome you to come, please move to the main dining room of the Duke's Palace for dinner, and then someone will arrange for you to have a short rest, and then enter the space-time gate of the Hiero plane in order." ”Seeing the Minotaur Ruka and Karantso following closely behind me, Noah and I were crowded in the chaotic flow of people, as the flow of people slowly advanced, Noah's two servants, also carrying heavy packages, followed behind us, I don't know what messy things he carried, two large packages like two bags of hemp, with so many supplies, if you experience in the wild, before the danger comes, these two servants will be completely crushed by these two large bags of materials.However, I didn't raise my own voice of doubt, because as far as I could see, the other magic students were all wearing such a huge backpack with such an exaggerated appearance.It was a huge castle made of dark gray stones, and we were in the back garden of the castle fort, where the lawn was very manicured, and the ornamental dark green shrubs were trimmed into neat circles by the gardeners, and in the center of the garden was a large pool, next to which a beautiful jade cloister was built.Standing in this garden, one can see the main complex on the side of the castle, those high.

Towering spire-shaped buildings, majestic and solemn, narrow arched thin glass windows, found on every tower-shaped building, they are arranged regularly and neatly, and in the bright glass windows, there will even be some curious eyes looking at this back garden, I suspect that those may be the family members of the Samoyed Duke's Palace.I exclaimed, "It turns out that the portal to the Hiero plane was built in the mansion of the Grand Duke of Samoyed!"

”Walking in the back garden of the huge Duke's Palace, I kept probing my head and looking around, and felt a disdainful gaze in a glass window, and looked at it, and a graceful figure quickly disappeared in front of the glass window, leaving only a familiar back, but unfortunately I didn't see the person's face.Noah was extremely familiar with everything in the Duke's Palace, and said to me: "Of course, there is no safer place than here, and those planes are considered the private property of the Dukes, so these portals will also be built in the safest places.If we want to travel to the Hierro plane, we need permission from the Duke of Samoyed. ”Noah said as he walked: "All adventure groups that go to the Hiero plane to explore will also pay a certain amount of poll tax and teleportation fees in the Duke's Palace, and will only be allowed to enter the Hiero plane after presenting a legal certificate. ”"Do you have to pay a poll tax?"

Shirley asked in surprise, she didn't know anything about these plane teleportation systems.Noah turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course, only after they have paid the poll tax, whether they are doing business in the Hierro plane, exploring in unknown areas, or becoming mercenaries of a certain legion, they will no longer have any restrictions. ”He had recovered from the confusion of time and space, he put one hand around my shoulder, the other hand around Xueli's slender waist, a kind of youthful vitality appeared on his face, that kind of beautiful yearning for the future life, overflowing on his face, Shirley and me explained: "The next time they pay taxes, when they decide to return to the Grimm Empire from the Hierro plane, through this portal, the tax collector will count all the property, and pay eight percent of the personal income tax to the Duke's Palace, It was also a source of income for the Duke's Palace. ”I asked Noah curiously, "Isn't it necessary to pay 60 percent of one's personal income, and the Duke and Charles the Great each have 30 percent, and they can only get 40 percent?"

”Noah laughed, and it seemed that he was happy, there were some things that I didn't understand.I heard him say, "Oh!

Dear Jijia, I think you must be mistaken, the so-called three-three-four division refers to the division of the territory of the open plane, not the income of personal wealth, the wealth obtained in the plane, only the owner of the plane will have the right to pay a certain tax, and this tax rate is only set by the Duke. ”I thought to myself: the resource-rich plane can have so many benefits, not only can you lead people to open up the territory, but you can also recruit adventure groups to explore, it turns out that you can still do this.Just as I was stunned, Noah tapped me on the shoulder, and the three of us followed the flow of people into a tall building.Karantso and Ruka were stopped by the castle's attendants, and then led them to the corner of the castle garden, where rows of long tables were full of fine food, and many servants were carrying plates, picking and choosing on the tables full of food, and then carrying their own plates of food, sitting on the lawn while resting and eating, very casual and comfortable.Karantso and I didn't eat dinner yesterday and were hungry all night, but luckily Ruka the Minotaur ate half a baked wheat cake last night.In the morning, we didn't have time to eat anything, and we felt the Royal Academy of Magic directly in the magic caravan, and now I was already hungry and had an urge not to leave.Karantso glanced at me with some hesitation, but followed the waiter with Ruka to the side of the buffet.See the exquisite food on the table, all kinds of delicate pastries, the fried potatoes piled up like a hill on the silver plate, and the wicker basket full of gold.

With a smile on his face, Ruka held a whole plate of fried potatoes in his arms, then pulled out five arm-thick white breadsticks from the wicker basket and sandwiched them under his armpits, strode to the edge of the pool, put the huge cow's head into the pool and drank it, then sat down against the fence of the pool, unceremoniously grabbed a white breadstick and began to chew it.The waiter was dumbfounded, perhaps he had never seen a minotaur warrior eat.When Noah and I walked into this huge spire-shaped building, we found that it was full of long tables and chairs, and people were sitting on them one after another, and Noah and I were at the back of the line, and when we walked into the main dining room, most of the benches were already full, looking around the corners of the long tables, looking for an ideal seat.Then I suddenly found that on the long table opposite Qige and Lucia, there were still a few empty places, some students from the magic academy walked over, and greeted Qige tentatively, but they were all sent away by Qige's cold words, and for a while, no one dared to sit opposite the prospective princess, Lucia was also happy, and her suitors could only watch from afar, but no one had the courage to sit in front of Qige.I took the opportunity to pull Noah and Shirley and walked straight over, and sat down generously opposite Kig in front of everyone, Lucia looked at me in amazement, and then smiled reservedly, and nodded politely to me in a very aristocratic manner, Kige looked at me as he sat down, and his face seemed to have a layer of frost.Noah knew that I was good friends with Kige, so naturally I didn't think anything about it, so I ordered food from the maid in the castle by myself, but Shirley on the side looked a little nervous, and the one sitting opposite was a teacher of magic potions, and the other was the head of the Sword and Rose Society, no matter who was enough for Shirley to look up, so she was a little nervous.Naturally, I beckoned to the maid and asked for a half-cooked Thunder Rhino Eye Steak and a secret mane rib, as well as a mashed potato and a sweet soup, and immediately after ordering, the maid of the castle placed a silver platter, a knife, and a spoon in front of the man.It wasn't long before a succession of waiters with huge trays of fine food in their hands were placed in front of me
