Wizards of the North

As people rushed out of the boat, the port became lively. After setting foot on the land again, those who were on the voyage for the first time took a few steps slightly before sighing in relief. The stormy sailors shouted loudly, beginning the final stage of busyness. It was already dinner time when Paul arranged the crowd and walked heavily towards Joey's house.

At Joey's house, Beth was a little worried. Since her father told her that Paul would come for dinner, her mood improved inexplicably. She does not object to her father's arrangements for marriages. Moreover, Paul is a lovely young man. The strong physique polished by the wind and waves, coupled with the scholar's unique scroll atmosphere, has fascinated many girls. At least Beth knew that she couldn't resist his charm.

Beth has always lacked confidence in herself. Maybe she is still a beauty in this small port, but what about when she leaves this port?

Sometimes Beth would even regret accepting the scholar's education. From the book, she knew the vastness outside. From those scholars in the past, she knew the prosperity of the City of Wisdom. If you are ignorant, you won't have these troubles.

Although Paul praised her beauty privately, saying that her beauty is innocent and clean, she still feels lack of confidence. Paul said that women in cities rely on glitz and hypocrisy to produce beauty through disguise. Unlike here, relying on the truth to show the beauty of nature. Paul's explanation made her feel at ease, and in return she gave her first kiss.

She tried to praise Paul for his strength, but she always made Paul blush. At this time, he would tell her the story of that continent, focusing on the three powerful races-Hell Knight, Dragon Knight, and Northern People. He will talk about the strength of the **** knights he has seen with his own eyes, the sharpness of the dragon knights, and the extraordinary extraordinaryness of the people from the North and Central China.

She didn't think Paul would be worse than those people, and her sweetheart was just humble. Although this is only a small seaport, there is never a shortage of sailors who boast of strength. So she believed in her own vision, even if Paul never flaunted it.

Since learning that scholars decided to move here, she has been very happy. The sea that blocked me from meeting Paul finally ceased to exist. And Paul’s arrival today has brought happiness to the culmination, so the dinner from her today is a bit too rich.

The mother, who always occupies the kitchen, rarely gives way. From time to time, her father cast a smirk, but she just missed it. Beth is just happily preparing dinner.

There was a knock on the door, and Paul walked in with a smile on his face. He still held the gift for his parents in his hand, as well as a flower to please her.

At the dinner table, Joey, as always, began to inquire about the situation in the mainland. As Paul spoke, his face gradually became serious. This dignity soon affected everyone, and even Paul, who was talking about it, began to hesitate.

After listening to Paul's account, Joey was silent for a while and suddenly changed the subject. He knocked on the table, "You have reached the age of marriage. If you have no objection, get married earlier."

This nonsense remark made Beth blush and ran back to the bedroom. Paul stared at Joey in surprise, not knowing what to say.

Joey stared slightly, "Why, don't you agree?"

Paul waved his hand quickly and explained in a panic: "I'm just not ready yet, I hope to come up with a decent bride price."

"As a scholar, the best offer is knowledge and insight, so as a young person you are already rich enough."

In the embarrassment, Paul nodded solemnly, "Okay, everything is up to you."

Joey's actions made the warm dinner end hastily in a strange atmosphere. Suspiciously, Paul came down to the courtyard at Joey's gesture.

Seeing no one else beside him, Paul asked a little eagerly: "What's the matter? Uncle Joey."

"The danger is coming."

"Didn't we avoid it?"

Joey shook his head. "You think the Northland is dangerous, and Bran the Wizard is dangerous. But what if the danger doesn't just come from them?"

Looking at Paul staring at him, Joey continued: "Although we are both scholars, I pay more attention to war. People like me are warriors trained to protect the city of wisdom. It’s just those who are more powerful. The warrior, masked our light.

Even so, we are still there in the war with the demons. While we win respect with our lives and blood, we have also traded in many valuable experiences, allowing us to detect certain signs in advance.

The Northlanders are shrinking defenses and accumulating strength.

I haven't met the wizard Bran, and I don't know if the rumored deeds actually happened. But even if he had only half of the rumored performance, he would be a frightening figure. But he was shrinking and waiting cautiously. What do you think he is afraid of?

Your focus needs to be changed, focusing on completing the defense facilities here. As for the accommodation, it is good to be able to shelter from the wind and rain. "

"But, Uncle Joey..."

"The heritage of scholars has a long history and hides many secrets that you can't imagine. External rhetoric is often just a representation, creating an explanation that is recognized by followers.

Baz may be really afraid of death, and perhaps really want to gain eternal life, but is it not a kind of refuge? He took the most trusted people and chose to hide under the wings of the strong to meet the possible crisis. "

Paul is still a little confused, "But what does this have to do with marriage?"

Joey sighed, "We have no retreat overseas, and this small seaport cannot withstand too much wind and waves. And we who are in it should cherish everything we have now, but we have some wishes ahead of time."

Seeing Joey's solemn expression and listening to his slightly heavy tone, Paul felt some ominous omen, and the skeleton in his memory resurfaced. He even panicked and subconsciously used a slightly distant honorific. "Do you think this decision is wrong?"

Seeing Paul's expression, Joey couldn't help but smile, "Whether wrong depends on the final result. Some people hold secrets that you and I can't reach, so many seemingly absurd decisions must be justified. Soon. Your teacher will also arrive here. He may not be responsible for us, but he must be responsible for himself.

Therefore, we can trust him for the time being and work together to tide over this difficulty. "

...

On the other side of the sea, Ge Yin stood under the moon and looked at the ships on the sea, nodding in satisfaction. Paul did a good job, and this kid has always satisfied him. As for the final credit being robbed, Ge Yin didn't care much. The internal struggle is not a tempering of the heart, he only hopes that this child can survive, and finally win in the competition of people's hearts.

The waves shook slightly, and there was a slight wading sound in the sound of the waves, and several guards nearby immediately became alert.

"Who! Where is who?"

Hearing the question, the wading sound paused for a moment before it sounded again. This time they no longer concealed them, and leaped straight toward this side with the sound of slamming. In the tent not far away, the wizard who was supposed to be on guard was also awakened by the shout.

Hundreds of monsters immediately appeared in his perception. With his sleepy eyes, he couldn't help but screamed, "enemy attack!"
