Ch 185: Journey To The Western Continent
Chen Wen and they returned to Black Dragon Port, where An Qi and they had already urgently dispatched people to make over a dozen large wooden baskets.
Because they were going to the Western Continent to help Kakis and his country, Kakis and his more than thirty Dwarves also came to help, and they worked very hard.
With their addition, these dozen or so wooden baskets were made very sturdy; each basket could hold one or two hundred people without any problem.
Chen Wen and they were bringing over a thousand people this time; these baskets were more than enough.
Ge Wei’s injury hadn’t fully healed, and she also needed to go with Chen Wen.
After she was injured, she had mostly been active in the vicinity of Wicker and hadn’t gone far; this time, she could go to the Western Continent to take a look.
Since she was going to the Western Continent, Vils also had to go with her.
They specifically asked the Dwarves to make them a two-seater swinging chair.
Two Grand Mages went back with them, so the Dwarves were naturally very happy.
They quickly made a two-seater swinging chair according to Vils’s request.
Everything was ready. A thousand Crocodile People and Lizard People warriors, along with Kesen and his several hundred people, all entered the wooden baskets.
More than ten dragons took off, grabbed the wooden baskets, and waited in the air.
Chen Wen was originally going to grab Ge Wei and Vils, but seeing that they were already sitting on an ornate chair covered with animal hide, he withdrew his hand and let a dragon without a basket grab their swinging chair.
“Hey hey hey!” Vils quickly stopped the dragon and said to Chen Wen, “It’s fine if you don’t let us ride, and other dragons don’t let us ride either. I know, you Dragon Clan are concerned with face! But we are two Grand Mages!
Don’t we have face? Before, you were always grabbing us, which didn’t look like Grand Mages at all.
We’re not asking you to let us ride, but grabbing our swinging chair with your feet, isn’t that a little inappropriate?
Hanging the swinging chair around your neck should be possible, right?”
Chen Wen thought for a moment. Before, the situation was urgent, so he had been holding them. They hadn’t objected, so he thought they didn’t mind!
Chen Wen pondered for a while, looked at Third Sister, and suddenly had an idea.
“Hanging it around the neck isn’t impossible, but you have to teach Third Sister magic,” Chen Wen said.
“Okay!” Vils readily agreed.
Chen Wen：……
No bargaining?
I should have let her teach Second Brother too, Chen Wen glanced at Second Brother.
Second Brother was carrying his spiked club on his shoulder striking a pose. Seeing the Boss looking at him, he chuckled and said, “Boss, do you have any orders?”
“Nothing, go play with your spiked club!”
Ge Wei taught such an amazing dragon, Vils was actually quite envious. The idea of having a dragon as her student had been brewing in her mind for a long time.
It’s just that these dragons weren’t very bright and weren’t willing to learn magic.
Third Sister’s magical talent seemed pretty good.
The Dragon Clan’s learning of magic basically relies on brute force, unlike the Human Race. They possess vast magical power that they can squander; the use of magic doesn’t need to be so precise, and they can practice extensively in a short time.
But the Human Race can’t. The Human Race’s magical power is scarce, and the use of magic requires great precision. The more advanced the magic, the more precise it needs to be, and they cannot practice extensively in a short time.
So you can’t simply compare the magical talent of the Dragon Clan and the Human Race based on the speed of learning magic.
For example, Chen Wen learned Spatial Magic in a few days, while Ge Wei took more than a month.
This doesn’t mean Chen Wen’s magical talent is much higher than Ge Wei’s.
First, Chen Wen doesn’t need to control magic as precisely as Ge Wei, and second, his magical power is enough to support him in doing a lot of practice in a few days, while Ge Wei can’t.
The amount of practice Chen Wen did in a few days wasn’t much less than Ge Wei’s practice in a month.
So Chen Wen and Ge Wei’s magical talent should be about the same.
By this calculation, Third Sister learned Spatial Magic in more than a month, so her talent should be considered above average.
Although it’s not as good as Chen Wen’s talent, it’s already very high among the Dragon Clan. Her future potential should be high, and it will be difficult to find a Dragon Clan with such high magical talent again.
So Vils immediately agreed to teach Third Sister magic.
Since Vils was going to teach Third Sister magic, let Third Sister take them.
Third Sister hung their swinging chair around her neck.
Vils patted Third Sister and chuckled foolishly, “You’re my student now.”
“Mm!” Third Sister responded softly.
She actually wanted Chen Wen to teach her.
But she knew the Boss was busy, so she didn’t insist. Vils was also a Grand Mage and a top-tier strong person among the Human Race, so she should be a good teacher.
After Chen Wen instructed An Qi and they on some matters, he took off with twenty dragons and flew west.
…………
In the forest north of Watay Kingdom in the northern part of the Western Continent.
Prince Entes of Watay Kingdom was directing his subordinates to build fortifications in a dangerous terrain.
Not far from where they were building fortifications, a circle of trees had been cut down, and all the shrubs and weeds on the ground had been cleared.
This was a firebreak to prevent the Lexis people from setting fire to the forest.
And the cut-down trees could also be used as materials for building defensive works.
At this moment, a hidden scout sent a warning.
The people building the fortifications heard the warning, stopped their work, ran to the side, picked up their weapons, and prepared for battle.
After a long while, the hidden scout sent a signal that the danger had been averted.
The people building the fortifications breathed a sigh of relief, put down their weapons, and went back to work.
Soon, several Dwarves ran over from outside.
Entes recognized them as the scouts he had sent out.
The Dwarves were out of breath, but Entes didn’t rush them.
After they had recovered, Entes asked, “What’s the situation with the reinforcements?”
A Dwarf picked up a twig and drew a simple map of their country on the ground.
The army of Kya Duchy to the east encountered the army of Lexis here and was engaged in fierce battle.
There was no movement from Lane Duchy to the west.
The army of Ante Duchy to the north encountered the army of Lexis here, but Duke Kedo personally led the army and had already broken through Lexis’s blockade and was rushing towards here.
Entes was not surprised by this news.
Lexis was to the southeast of their country. The duchies to the southeast had already fallen, and the east was under attack, so there should be quite a few troops, and they shouldn’t be able to come over for the time being.
To the north, Lexis’s army should only have small units infiltrating, at most hindering the speed of the northern reinforcements, but they couldn’t stop the northern reinforcements.
The west is farther from Lexis, and there are dangerous terrains along the way, so that side is the calmest.
However, Lane Duchy has always been a little defiant towards the Kingdom, and it’s not surprising that they didn’t send troops to support.
And Entes was actually more relaxed without them.
Who knows if they came to support or do something else.
