Chapter 91 An and Gu Leiya


    ?In this way, Duanmuhuai entered the Manalia Magic Academy as a student and began to study magic.


    ?Of course, while he was studying, Lorena and Ogis were not idle either. They traveled around Manalia to investigate the situation in this country.


    Duanmuhuai discovered that most countries in this era were basically a large city-state, and this seemed to be the case for both the Holy City and Manalia. Take the Holy City as an example. The Holy City of Todheim is the political center of this country. The largest number of people live in the large city surrounded by city walls. Then, with the Holy City as the center, the roads spread out in all directions like a spider web. It is then divided into agricultural areas for growing crops, mining areas for mining minerals, etc., and the gathering places for people in these areas are based on small towns.


    Simply put, in this era it was basically a large city plus several towns that formed a city-state.


    The same is true for Manalia, except that it has dual cores - Manalia Magic Academy and Manalia Royal City are divided into two different independent cities, guarding each other. The sum of the towns and areas located between the two cities is the size of Manalia.


    Compared to the Holy City, Manalia''s land area is larger, but it is limited.


    What Ogis and Lorena need to investigate is the situation in Manalia, such as whether the society is stable, what stage of development it is at, what is needed to conduct business and trade with the Holy City... Lorena She is the missionary priest of the church, so she must have done this.


    ? Duanmu Huai has been studying magic in the magic academy.


    ? Manalia''s magic knowledge is still very rich, and their magic is indeed unique. For example, a technique called "Magic Amplification" is very interesting. This technique can reduce the consumption of magic in the later stage by continuously using magic.


    The effect of converting it into a card is that if a large magic requires 100 spiritual energy, then when the user uses ordinary fast attack magic several times in a row, the cost of that large magic can be reduced through the "magic amplification" technique. It can even drop to zero in one go.


    To put it bluntly, use small magic to attack quickly in the early stage, use "magic amplification" to reduce the magic power consumption in the later stage, and then instantly cast several large magic spells with 0 consumption in one go, beating the opponent so hard that even his own mother doesn''t recognize him.


    In addition, there is another magic spell called "Secret Technique of Earth". The advantage of this kind of magic is that it can be played steadily. Through the "Secret Technique of Earth", "the fragments of the earth" are refined, and then the attack and Defense capabilities to ensure that you will not be disconnected during the battle.


    Of course, both techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. The magic released in the early stage of "Magic Amplification" is not powerful enough, and it is easy to be exploded in the later stage if it is not saved. But if you can save until the late stage, then a wave of magic blasts over and the opponent can only cry for father and mother.


    On the other hand, "Secret of Earth" is relatively stable. Although it does not have a big late-stage explosion of "magic increase", it can ensure that it is always in a strong position during the battle.


    Duanmu Huai was hesitant at first, but in the end he decided to learn "Magic Amplification". After all, Duanmu Huai was not worried about the lack of defense and attack power in the early stage of "Magic Amplification". Maybe the thin mages in this academy need to worry about this, but for Duanmu Huai... he doesn''t need to worry about insufficient defense and firepower at all.


    Here, Duanmuhuai relived his long-lost campus life.


    That’s right, campus life is the same as before.


    At the beginning, Duanmu Huai would cause commotion wherever he went. There was even a case where he went to the library to borrow books and was treated as a rampaging magic doll by the students. Later, after everyone found out that he was an envoy from the Holy City, they didn''t make any more jokes, but no one dared to come and chat with him.


    After all, Duanmu Huai''s height is so high that most people can''t see him in front of him. In addition, the armor itself is scary enough, and it is even more scary when he takes off his helmet, so everyone keeps a respectful distance from Duanmu Huai.


    ?But now Duanmuhuai has long passed the sentimental age of adolescence, so he doesn’t mind it.


    ??Moreover, he is not without friends.


    “Ah, I found you, Mr. Knight!”


    Duanmu Huai, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, raised his head and looked ahead, only to see a brown-haired girl wearing a college uniform running over happily with her companions.


    “You are indeed here, I guessed it.”


    “After all, I’m too lazy to move.”


    ?Looking at the brown-haired girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai also laughed and answered. The brown-haired girl in front of them is none other than the princess of Manalia who Duanmuhuai and the others met when they first came here - An.


    I don’t know if it was because she was a princess, but An Ye took good care of guests like Duanmu Huai who came from afar. As soon as they came and went, the two parties became familiar with each other. In Duanmuhuai''s opinion, An is a lively, cheerful, and a little reckless girl. She is usually very kind to people and very smart. I heard that her magic power is also the best in Manalia... This is not surprising.


    Following An was a pretty girl with short dark red hair. But compared to her appearance, when anyone sees her for the first time, the first thing they pay attention to is the long tail that emerges from under her skirt, which is almost as thick as her legs, and the bright red wings behind her.


    She is Ann''s good friend, Gu Leiya.


    ?Ting An introduced, Gu Leiya came to Manalia to study from Regnis, the kingdom of dragons, another country on the Manalia continent. She is a hybrid of dragons and humans, and her father is the King of Regnis. Because she fell in love with a human, she gave birth to Gulea and sent her to Manalia to study. Compared with Ann, who is lively, cheerful and a bit reckless, Gu Leiya seems a bit introverted and not very good at talking. So most of the time, An was the one talking, and Gu Leiya was mainly responsible for listening.


    ?However, Duanmu Huai has seen her.


    That was... what he saw when his soul resonated, the battle between humans and dragons. The one who fell from the sky at that time was Gu Leiya. It''s just that Gulea looked more mature at that time than she does now, but other than that, there hasn''t been much change.


    ?So, the princess who led the humans to fight against and destroy the dragons is An?


    Looking at An who was chatting happily and endlessly, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly. To be honest, just seeing the two people in front of them being so close, most people would never expect that the two sides would fight each other in the end.


    Not only that, Duanmuhuai also noticed some contradictions in it.


    ?According to An, although the current relationship between humans and dragons is not particularly harmonious, it has not reached the point of being hostile to each other. Judging from the scene he saw before, Gulea seemed to be only slightly older than she is now, which means that the battle should take place in the near future.


    But why does it happen?


    What went wrong that started a war between humans and dragons?


    “Mr. Knight? Mister Knight!”


    ? Duanmu Huai was thinking and didn''t realize that An was talking to him. Seeing that Duanmu Huai ignored him, An also stretched out his hand and tried to wave it in front of him. However, the height difference between Duanmuhuai and An was too big. Even if An jumped around desperately and waved his hands vigorously, he could not reach Duanmuhuai''s chin. So an angry An raised his finger and suddenly flashed a flash of light in front of Duanmu Huai.


    “Hey!”


    ?The flash of light flew by, startling Duanmu Huai, and then he came back to his senses and saw An Zheng puffing up his cheeks and looking at him.


    “Ugh, what are you thinking about? Why are you always distracted?”


    "Sorry, I was thinking about something else... I''m sorry."


    "That''s right, we two beautiful girls are chatting with you here. It would be rude if you were distracted."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, An nodded proudly.


    “So…where did the conversation go?”


    “Just before, I still want to hear your story, Mr. Knight.”


    “My story……”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai chuckled. Naturally, he is not here for nothing. At first, in order to liven up the atmosphere, An asked Duanmu Huai to talk about her adventure experiences. After all, both she and Gu Leiya were princesses. Although it does not mean that they never leave the house without leaving the door, it is definitely related to the adventurous life. It''s unfavorable. Therefore, they also yearn for a life of adventure.


    ?Of course Duanmu Huai didn''t mind this. You should know that he has experienced many adventures in the game, and many of the tasks are very worthy of emotion. He also shared them with the two of them. Of course, Duanmu Huai did not forget to explain to them about the Chaos Evil God. After all, the two of them would fight side by side with him in the future, so there was nothing wrong with knowing more about them.


    The two of them are also quite enthusiastic about the story of Duanmu Huaihuai. Now, during the daily break time, the three of them gather together to listen to the story about Duanmuhuahuai water. It has almost become their daily routine.


    “So, where did you talk about yesterday?”


    “The Smurfs couldn’t go home, so they built a second empire!”


    “Where is the Second Empire?”


    Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, you can’t say this casually, the loyal Smurf has no secrets, okay?


    “Okay, let’s continue…”


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai glanced behind the wall next to him, and a human-shaped thermal energy image was clearly visible. Well... that was none other than An''s bodyguard, Owen, who had met Duanmu Huai before.


    It’s just... Your Highness, why does your guard act like a stalker?
