From Westie to the river, I passed through half of the tundra, along the way, the goddess of earth, Gaia, gave Medusa and Ziggser some tips intermittently. Everyone flew halfway, halfway, and finally walked to the wooden house of the tundra witch.

They originally wanted to cross the tundra in one breath, but it was too hard to walk along the way.

They encountered more than a dozen blizzards. Because they had no firewood and could not make fire, they could not even find a shelter on the bare tundra. Several times they almost freeze to death in the wind and snow.

They had no food, Manda could not open the Styx Island, nor could they find the sleds left by the river, and had no source of supplies, so they could only rely on hunting to feed. However, every hunting meant that they would deviate from the direction guided by the goddess of earth, and would struggle to get lost for a long time.

When he saw the Tundra Witch's hut, Manda could not walk any longer. He believed that the Tundra Witch and her sisters were hospitality. After entering the wooden house, they put their homes on the spot, burned all the firewood, and ate the deer that the Tundra Witch hunted back.

But they didn't see Bruto, which made Manda a little dissatisfied. Even if the bride got married, her family would not hide from her.

Manda strongly requested to visit Bruto, but the Tundra Witch directly rejected Manda's request.

"A month has not arrived yet, and he is still ours. It's not too late to meet again when the time comes."

It has been twenty-three days since we went back and forth, and the one-month period is not far away.

Manda said: "We might as well stay here for seven days and pick up Bruto directly at that time."

This was a reasonable request. Ganlayani agreed, but also put forward two conditions:

First, they can only live in wooden houses and cannot step into the world in the painting.

Second, she could provide food and firewood to everyone, but as a reward, Manda had to teach them the witchcraft of riding a broom.

The first condition, Manda happily accepted, being able to sleep in the wooden house was a great enjoyment for them.

The second condition is that Manda has made some considerations. Witchcraft can be taught, but whether he can learn it depends on the luck of these witches.

Manda did not brag, this was indeed a technique. After Hermes's gaze disappeared, the mana of the scepter also disappeared. Except for the size of this scepter, the rest of the functions disappeared, which was not much different from a broom.

In other words, if you give Manda a broom, he can ride it on the fly. There are two key points of this technology:

The first is to master balance. This is the most difficult and complicated key. Just like riding a bicycle, you must have a certain speed and a certain physical coordination. Especially when Manda took four people to ride a bicycle together, Moèra was injured, Medusa was frozen and unconscious. Neither Ziegse nor Ashuraf's physical condition was very good. If one person could not control the balance, there was a danger of overturning.

The second key is to have a pair of flying shoes.

Because of the second key, the witches present do not have them, Manda can only make the words obscure:

"The God has given me guidance and also given me trust. If I teach you all the knowledge that God has taught me, it will be a blasphemy to God and will even attract God's disgust for you."

Manda rode a broom and flew slowly in front of the witch: "Gandayani can let the axe search for firewood by himself, Moffalati can let the hunting net find prey by himself, Doer Lace can make the man among the sage forget philosophy and turn back into a beast, and let a broom fly up is not difficult for you,

But there is one thing that must be kept in mind! Balance is always the key to flying!”

Manda only wanted to eat here for a few days, but he would never have thought that his unintentional behavior had become a tradition of wizards for thousands of years - a real wizard must be able to ride a broom.

...

Fifty miles outside Longyin City, the three-headed dog believer Xumora is counting taxes. He was originally a farmer. He always believed that farming was the foundation of survival, and merchants were the source of evil for farmers, craftsmen and all ordinary people. They were the borers that were gained for nothing, and relying on the price difference to squeeze vampires from both buyers and sellers.

But after staying in the Southeast for a long time, he found that businessmen also had cute sides, such as when paying taxes.

There is no simpler way to make money than this. There is no need to use weapons, no need to intimidate, no need to bleed, and nothing to do. Just show your identity and the other party will hand over the money, which is easier than robbing.

A Qingus merchant gave him more than a dozen pieces of silk, which was a gift other than taxes. Leond liked the credibility of the Qingus people very much and preferred smooth satin, but Semora did not like satin. This material was not strong enough and became wrinkled after a while.

Since I don't like it, I hand it over to Leonde. There is no need to take the risk of taking advantage of this, but I have to give the merchant a tip and ask them to send more porcelain in the future. The thing is like inlaid with jade on clay. No one doesn't like such exquisite utensils, but good ceramics are almost equivalent to gold, even in the identity of Semora, it feels too luxurious.

"You are very trustworthy, and it is not impossible to calculate the tax at all, but you also know that I am a general. Lord Leonder gave the order and I am going to the battlefield at any time. Do you think it is appropriate to wear silk to the battlefield?"

The merchant Qinges explained: "General, heavy silk can withstand arrows."

"Nonsense! How can such a soft fabric resist arrows?"

"I didn't cheat on you..."

"I think your taxes are wrong, so let my people calculate them again!"

The merchant Qinges was calm and he understood what Xumora meant and asked someone to bring two good porcelain bottles.

Xumora took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "The texture is good, but I don't like this size. It's too small to fill the water, and it's too big to fill the wine."

The businessman smiled and said, "Next time I come, I will bring you a top wine utensil."

Xumora was very satisfied and ordered the Qinges caravan to dock. As for the tax, Qinges would just say the appropriate amount, and there was no need to worry about it.

Next was the Baier caravan, and Semora sank her face again.

"This group of savages always like to take advantage of loopholes and ask the tax collector to carefully count their goods."

After counting it, the taxes were calculated, and the Bayer merchant lost his temper.

"What does this mean? The Qinges merchant ships are twice as high as us. Their taxes are less than us. They sell silk, and we only sell ore!"

"So what?" Xumora smiled, "The Qinges people are friends, my friends and grand duke's friends. Who are you?"

The Baier merchant roared: "This is not fair! When Grand Duke Bessaliu is here, he never collects taxes from us!"

"I feel unfair, get out! Get out of here and find Besaliu!" Xumora immediately ordered that Besaliu's fleet be prohibited from entering the port.

The soldiers sent a few small boats to block the port, and suddenly saw a warship coming slowly from afar. Xumora was shocked and ordered the fleet to step forward to block the port.

The two warships brought more than a dozen small boats to intercept the warship, but after they got closer, they discovered a serious problem.

The view from the port is limited. The other party seems to have only twenty or thirty warships, but when they arrive at sea, they find that there are more than one hundred warships on the other party.

As the opponent's warship got closer, the marks on the sail became clearer, which was the huge sword of divine punishment.

Sumora blew a horn on the shore and ordered the warship to return immediately.

But the order came too late, and the warship he sent had not had time to turn around and was instantly torn to pieces by a dazzling holy light.

There are divine punishment warriors on the enemy's warships, and an astonishing number of divine punishment warriors!

Xumora ordered all the soldiers from the port to meet the enemy with all their might on the shore. The merchant Qinges stepped forward and dissuaded: "Please look at their flags. This is the Pope's fleet. The soldiers at the port may not be able to resist. Please inform Lord Leonder immediately to defend in Longyin City. I will ask my merchant ship to help you withstand for a while."

Xumora shook her head and said, "How can a merchant ship stop the warship? This has nothing to do with you. Take your people to escape."

The merchant Qinges said: "The Pope will not easily conflict with us, we will not fight with them, we can only try our best to delay time for you and take care of you in business. This is our reward!"

"I remember this kindness! Lord Leonde will also remember it! The God Emperor in the sky has been watching! He will never forget it!" Xumora led the soldiers back to Longyin City.

...

Seven days later, Bruto walked out of the painting. He looked like he hadn't changed much, but he looked more magical than before.

Manda asked carefully: "This month, it's okay."

Bruto took a deep breath and said, "There are good things, such as I have learned a lot of witchcraft, unimaginable witchcraft, and bad things, such as I have become a little disgusted with women and hate all women."

"I can understand your mood..."

"When will we set off?" Bruto didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Actually, I am very happy to be together, but it is very warm here and the food is good. Of course, these are not the key points, the key points are that Mo'era's injuries have not healed yet."

"I'll treat her injuries, and we'll set off today."

Bruto's intention to leave was decided, Manda was reluctant to leave, and the witches were even more reluctant to leave.

They were all trying to persuade Bruto to stay, but at dusk, Manda suddenly felt a thrill in her heart, and someone was sending him an emergency message through the Styx Island.

"Is there any way to open the Styx Island on the tundra?"

Ganlayani shook her head and said, "The tundra area has exceeded the scope of Pluto's jurisdiction, and it is impossible to open the Styx Island here."

Bruto advised: "We have to leave the tundra as soon as possible, and don't miss the big thing."

Manda accepted Bruto's suggestion, and before leaving, he made a last request to Ganlayani.

He wants some means of transportation. It is best to have horses and pigs. It is really not good, and it is better to have a sled that someone pulls.

The witches prepared transportation for Manda overnight, which was a broom with exquisite craftsmanship.
