Chapter 133 Callan Mound
The wheels roll forward slowly.
it's clear.
There are only a few white clouds in the blue sky, floating lazily in the air.
Under the morning sunlight, these clouds are so white that they are a little dazzling.
On both sides of the wide and straight road, continuous farmland seems to be paved to the horizon. Occasionally, some villages and manors are just embellishments in these farmlands.
This is the center of the Gilt Plain and the lifeblood of the Gilt Kingdom.
In the distance, a magnificent city rises from the ground, looking so majestic and majestic on the endless plains!
The people walking at the forefront of the team are the highest-ranking people in the team, such as Ander, Emilia, Ansel and Sir Rodney.
Of course, this is not because they lead by example and have to personally set the way for the convoy - this is the best area of the Kingdom of Gilt, and there may be some small thieves, but trolls, beasts and large thieves cannot exist.
They walked in front of the convoy, simply not wanting to eat dust from behind.
As time passes to the end of May, the weather gradually warms up and the road has long been dry. It is okay for small convoys to walk on the road, but a large amount of dust will inevitably be raised wherever they pass.
"That is the 'City of Not Falling-Karantu'." Sir Rodney pointed at the city in the distance with a horse whip and sighed.
"What a great city." Amilia exclaimed.
Gray City is already magnificent, but from a distance, this Gilt Capital, Karanguo, the city of Gilt, is at least five or six times larger than Gray City.
The buildings in the city cannot see clearly, but when they cross the city walls, there are at least six towers towering in it. If these are the wizard towers, then King Gilt will have at least six wizard towers.
"The Kalantu was built more than 1,200 years ago by the ancestor of the Gilt royal family, the legendary knight Nezhel*Gilt, and invited seventeen advanced spell casters to work together - including your ancestors."
Speaking of this, Sir Rodney turned his head on the horse's back and nodded to Ansel.
Ansel smiled and nodded back, adding gracefully: "Most of the senior mages in Building Gra City have participated in the construction of Kalantuo."
"Kalantu is known as the city of never falling. Since its completion, it has never been broken by anyone - two of them, there were even legendary wizards in the enemy, but it still could not break the Kalanton defense line."
Speaking of this, Sir Rodney was already a little staggering when riding on the horse, but he still unconsciously straightened his chest.
This action shifted his center of gravity a little, making the attendant who was riding beside him, and was very nervous. He quickly reached out to try to help the Lord sit firmly.
"Go and go, I'm not old enough to ride a horse."
Sir Rodney adjusted his posture on the horse's back, pushed the attendant's hand aside, and said disgustingly.
"Where did I just talk about it? By the way, Kalantuo is not only indestructible, but also a famous academic center in the north - the ninth king Osmon Gilter established the Wangli Library, making Kalantuo the largest academic center in the north; the eleventh king Roderick Kalantuo established Wangli Academy, which even allowed many scholars from other countries to come to study thousands of miles."
"If you enter Wangli Academy, you don't have to be surprised even if you meet princes and princesses from other kingdoms." Rodney said to Ender with a smile.
The longer you stay in this bustling city, the broader your horizons, the less likely you will be to return to the northern Four Corps to cause trouble to the Leicester family.
This is not the conspiracy that Surrey Lester arranged for Ender, but the inevitable choice of human nature. To put it carefully, for a genius warrior like Ender, only such a broad stage is suitable for him.
If Ander returns to the Northern Four Leaders to develop, he will sooner or later have a head-on conflict with the Leicester family, which no one wants to see.

The sound of horse hooves clattered, and two war horses rushed up from behind.
"Sigh-Let's--" Two knights wearing light armor and coats of heraldic emblems on their cloaks walked around the front of the convoy, blocking the war horses, and blocking the convoy's way.
"Under Viscount Scott, Knight Stilwell, now order you to stop the convoy!" a knight shouted arrogantly.
The roadblocker claimed that he had no problem with the knight, because only the nobles were qualified to have their own family emblem. His cloak was covered with the family emblem and emblem. If it was not drawn privately, it would mean that he was a knight recognized by law.
Ander and Emilia looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Where did this come from the rash ghost?
Although you can already see the capital Karanyuan from a distance, this is a plain, and there is no cover at all. You can run to death on the mountain. It is actually a long way from Karantuo. I guess you will be able to really arrive at Karantuo tomorrow.
Now, there is no one around here except the caravan, and the surrounding farmland is even empty, with no witness. Are they afraid of being hacked to death when they speak like this?
You should know that in the north, when everyone meets strangers, their hands must be holding the hilt of the sword. Even if the other party is a commoner, it does not mean safety. As long as you are willing to pay taxes and make a vote without leaving any trace, you can still be called a good citizen in the north.
Others I met along the way, seeing such a powerful force in the convoy, they had already taken a detour from afar. Who would have come up?
However, Ende knew that his experience was shallow, so maybe he might have something else to rely on?
He shook his head at his surprised wife--we have little experience, don't talk, first see how others deal with it.
Seeing that Ender and Emilia were silent, Ansel said nothing.
They didn't say a word, and Sir Rodney could only take two steps forward.
After all, Sir Rodney is the nominal supreme leader of the caravan. After all, this is the caravan led by Leicester. Both Ander and Ansel, they are all walking with the caravan, not the owners of the caravan.
Looking at the two knights who were showing off their power, Sir Rodney hesitated a little. He looked at each other carefully and suddenly burst into laughter: "Stilwell, can even a person like you become a knight? I believe there are no one in the Scott family."
"Rodney, you are just a betrayal dog. You have fallen into running the caravan himself - but now I won't tell you this, stop the caravan quickly, let the road be opened, and let Viscount Scott go first."
The Knight Stilwell looked at Lord Rodney disdainfully and continued, "Do you want to violate Viscount Scott's orders again?"
"Vissue Scott is nothing but a viscount, neither a royal family nor a marquis, and he is not qualified to ask me to give way."
Sir Rodney said disdainfully: "Now - get out!"
The Knight Stilwell who was blocking the road screamed like a chicken with a pinched throat: "What did you say! You say it again?"
Lord Rodney repeated it calmly and added another word 'please': "I said, please get out of here!"
"You, you, you are so brave! I, I want to duel with you!" Stilwell was furious, took off his left glove and threw it over.
Ender sighed, his body tilted slightly, and he reached out to take off the flying gloves so that the glove would not hit the old man Rodney in the face.
Just now, he discovered that the old sir was in a bad mood. He was afraid that he would have any accidents, so he rode his horse and took two steps and stood beside Sir Rodney.
"Mr. Rodney, what's going on?" Ender asked.
————————————
Since last winter, Sir Rodney has often invited Ander to participate in various activities, giving gifts whenever he has something to do, and trying to get closer.
Although these are all to lure Ender to a broader world, it is undeniable that Sir Rodney did open a new door for Ender.
Mages and spells, gods and legends, mechanisms and alchemy, various wonderful inhuman races, the history of world development, and even legends of different planes can all be obtained from Sir Rodney.
Sir Rodney is not a knowledgeable scholar, but at such an age, all kinds of rumors that hearsay are enough to give Ender a more macro understanding of the world.
According to legend, the land where everyone stands is not the only land in the world, nor is it even the main continent of this plane.
The six human kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Gilt, two elves, one troll tribe, and one orc kingdom, among which the oldest one is no more than two thousand years old. Everyone is foreign pioneers, but thousands of years have passed, and here has been relatively independent. Except for the elves, other forces no longer regard the kingdom of the main continent as the monarchy.
——As for the indigenous people here, you can refer to the fate of the Indians, but the world is much more barbaric than the earth, but no one will leave behind any Indian reserves.
The whole world is just a plane called the "main matter plane". In addition to the plane, there are other planes.
There are not only the main material plane, but also many other types of planes. However, Sir Rodney only knows that there are other types of planes. As for what types, it goes beyond Rodney's limit.
Even so, Sir Rodney still found many books and bards for Ender, and tried his best to relieve his doubts.
——————————————
Stilwell cursed: "Little bastard! How dare you take the duel gloves? If you want to die, come over and I will fulfill you!"
The knight's gloves are not common to us every day, and they are light cotton and linen gloves. Although the Stilwell Knight does not wear a full set of knight armor today, the so-called light armor is still inlaid with iron pieces to protect the knuckles.
He threw out his gloves just to hit Lord Rodney with a flowery face, but the gloves were cut off by a young white face halfway. The dissatisfaction in the heart of Knight Stilwell urgently needed to vent his feelings to this ignorant bastard.
His words of angrily cursed, and the front end of the entire convoy suddenly became quiet.
The lion roared, and the hyena crowed silently - Stilwell felt good about himself, and was extremely proud of himself, and couldn't help but glance at his companion with pride.
He is a knight, and he always feels a little worried when facing other real knights on weekdays.
Not to mention throwing out the Knight gloves and asking for a duel, he would not dare to take it even if someone threw it to him.
Now facing Rodney, the unlucky guy, he can finally get addicted to throwing gloves on his own initiative.
————————————
Why is Sir Rodney an unlucky person?
The Rodney family was originally a vassal family of the Scott family. The current head of the Scott family, Ampton Scott, had studied at Wangli College when he was young and met Sir Rodney's daughter Delia.
Lord Ampton hopes that Delia can become his lover—of course not, because the Scott family will not accept a lord's daughter as the official wife of the head.
As a result, Delia was ungrateful and engaged to a rural cadre in the North and slapped the Scott family in the face.
At that time, the Scott family was still old Scott. Although Lord Amputon felt angry, he could not act willful.
But not long after, Old Scott died, Lord Ampton succeeded as Viscount and sealed the road to the Rodney family territory. The Rodney family territory is located inside the Scott family territory. If you want to go to the Rodney family territory, you must pass through the Scott family territory.
From then on, Sir Rodney had difficulty returning home. He watched the family territory fall step by step and could only rely on some business in the royal capital to maintain his life.
Looking at his current appearance, he is all white-haired and has to follow the caravan to run around and operate.
If he hadn't seen Rodney's family emblem, he wouldn't have dared to come to block the road and provoke it.
After all, nowadays, everyone knows that persimmons have to be soft. If such a large-scale caravan is a force that cannot be provoked by, the lord might throw himself out to apologize.
Now, in order to prevent the Lord from following the caravan from eating dust, he bravely proposed a duel and shouted to shock these many people. It should have a positive effect on improving his image in the Scott family - at least this bastard around him should not dare to look down on him, right?

"End, I think this person will be left to me to deal with."
Anselzer took two steps, stood beside Ander and whispered, behind him, the two knights followed.
Of course, he didn't want to directly conflict with a viscount in the field, but since he was walking with Ande, he could not retreat at this time - he dared to insult Ande as a "little bastard". Such a man was so desperate that he threw the face of the legendary sword saint in the cessation pit.
Besides, according to the analysis of think tanks, the Night Demon is probably mingling in this convoy with some identity. Maybe at this moment, the sword saint is looking at this place.
If you don’t show it at this time, when will you show it?
"Al, don't need your knight to take action - Robbie, try it, kill him if you can." Ender waved his hand and continued to explain it casually.
It takes a thousand days to raise troops and use troops for a while. From winter to now, the five apprentices have been training for more than half a year, so they should also try out how they are.
