They can reach the first stop of their trip by following the gem River, which almost crosses half the empire from eboden, and then crossing the Royal territory——
Saklan Pro King collar
The name of this land was actually obtained at the beginning of the establishment of the Empire, and has always been a fief for the crown prince and an important source of soldiers of the imperial Corps. Many people still call it "old Saxophone" or "ancient Saxophone" to remind their descendants or themselves that this is the birthplace of the saxophone people.
The Royal territory, which is divided into two by the gem River and is located in the imperial capital Golovin, is often called "West Saxony" or "new Saxony", so as to distinguish it from the prince's territory.
After 13 generations, the two lands also named "saklan" have indeed become completely different, but they can't be divided.
If the imperial capital is the palace of Golovin, then the prince's collar is its wall and barrier;
If Golovin is compared to a queen who looks up to the world, the prince is her knight.
This pure and simple land has nurtured generation after generation of Legion soldiers coming out of farms, fortresses and towns. They throw down hoes and tools in workshops, put on the heaviest soldier armor of the whole empire, take shields, epee and Saxophone halberd, form an unshakable phalanx legion, and become a mobile "wall" to meet the enemies of the Empire.
Lottel's Falcon Archer, Byrne's heavy knight, the eastern Centaur... And even the evil gods and their demon army who set foot on this land hundreds of years ago were the enemies of these "moving walls".
Saklan is not a barren land, but it is also not rich. There are no fierce mountain people and elite knights to fight for her - only farmers who plough hard in the fields, work hard on the battlefield, and their hands and feet are mud and blood.
Then they use their muddy feet to conquer what they have conquered, and insert the iron crown flag held up by their dirty hands into the land they can see.
Even after believing in the Holy Cross, the people of this land have not changed their style; Even the wizard college established here also maintains the "style" of local flavor.
After a whole day's trek, the motorcade heading north finally arrived at their station at dawn, a wizard college, which is famous to the prince of Saxony and also registered in the nine pointed star wizard tower, as well as the town around the College - melting pot town.
It is said that the alchemy here is very developed, and even can be called the first-class of the Empire. All the teachers from the dean to every college are the most standard alchemists without exception.
It sounds strange, but in fact, this is the "common phenomenon" of the whole imperial wizard College - not every region has the ability to fund and establish a wizard college with all disciplines, which is neither possible nor necessary. Most of them specialize in one subject, and two or three disciplines can be called famous.
On the contrary, vimpal college is the real "wonderful flower" and alternative. Although it is weak, it has a complete school, which is absolutely unheard of elsewhere. It can only be because of Dalton and Peter.
But when the dark haired wizard really saw the "alchemist College" with his own eyes, the whole person was stunned.
"On behalf of all the mentors and apprentices of the furnace college and the loyal people of the local Empire, it is our honor to welcome his Highness Prince Brandon de sallion to our furnace town!"
The speaker was a dean of the melting furnace college who wore a robe and looked more like a blacksmith than a wizard. Even if he wore a larger robe, the black haired wizard could see the taut tendons under his sleeves. Under his board inch head was a firm face with a sonorous and powerful voice, which could be heard clearly in the last row of the team.
"The people of melting pot town and the apprentices of the college are very looking forward to welcoming the members of the desallion family! We are all the purest saxorians, but in the past few generations, there are very few royal members who have really visited here, which makes the poor melting pot people cherish this opportunity more!"
"That's... what a pity."
Faced with such a warm Dean and his surprised and resentful expression, Brandon could only smile awkwardly:
"Please rest assured that the people of melting pot town. I will report this to my father and make a difference."
Even if he didn't see Brandon's face in the back, the black haired wizard could hear that his royal highness was just perfunctory - but the next second, the Dean almost showed a surprise smile, "bang!" and hit his chest hard:
"Thank you very much, your highness Brandon de sallion! The imperial people of the whole melting pot town will pray for you. Please give everything to you!"
"We have also prepared a grand welcome ceremony and dust washing banquet for you. Please be sure to enjoy it!"
With that, the "Dean" turned happily and walked towards the town gate. After confirming that he didn't look back, Brandon withdrew his stiff smile and looked helplessly at Lauren behind him:
"Now you know what my... Serious Saxophone villagers are like?"
"Impressed." Loren jokingly raised the corners of his mouth and joked with some sarcasm: "it is worthy of being the chosen country. It is a true imperial people. I do understand why the doctrine of the Holy Cross was first born in this land."
"Yes, who makes us saxorians so simple and honest, so easy to cheat, not as smart and cunning as eboden wizard and lottel mountain people?!"
His royal highness, who immediately "understood the spirit", couldn't help but show a playful smile: "but now it is you 'smart people' who are ruled by these honest people!"
This can't be denied. Lauren shrugged his shoulders: "it's probably the so-called... Honest people are not easy to bully?"
With a smile, the black haired wizard's eyes have moved back to the melting pot town in front of him.
He and Brandon chose to rest here for a special reason.
Furnace town and furnace college are one of the important towns under the leadership of the prince of Saxony. In a sense, they can not be replaced by the capital of the prince - because the workshops and craftsmen gathered here, as well as all alchemists and the whole college, are specially responsible for the logistics of manufacturing weapons for the imperial Legion!
According to the current situation of the Empire, the only one that will need a large number of weapons, materials, ordnance and even various repair tools and delivery equipment is the fortress of duanjieshan.
To put it another way - only the fortress of duanjieshan, which is about to be invaded, will need a steady stream of killing swords, heavy crossbows, crossbows, armor, catapults, incendiaries, ammunition, arrows and all the "good things" that can turn the enemy into corpses!
But what if melting pot town did not get the supply order from duanjie mountain, piled as high as the hill?
If the furnace college and the whole town did not work day and night to provide military materials for duanjie mountain; Or are they just pretending?
Even if you really work hard, if those weapons and equipment are not sent to duanjie mountain at all, they will be "accidentally lost" and flow into eboden or the black market somewhere
So the rumors about the "invasion" and the request for help from crown prince Connor have become very suspicious?
This is one of the real "goals" planned by Loren Turin and Brandon to take a big circle under the leadership of Prince saklan, investigate the current armament situation of duanjieshan fortress, and judge whether it is a "false" request for help or a "real" trap!
The reason why we have to stop once in every town is to numb the people who are still watching them and relax their vigilance.
"Well, my wizard adviser, Lord Loren Turin." Brandon smiled at the black haired wizard next to him and did not forget to nod slightly:
"Are you ready to go to town with me?"
