Chapter 150: Resignation
Since human beings began to learn to use Dou Qi, there has never been a person who has reached the level of a seventh-level to nine-level senior swordsman with his own innate Dou Qi, regardless of the innate Dou Qi is abundant, if he wants to reach a senior sword master, he can only learn Dou Qi, which is a law formulated by God.

With abundant innate fighting qi, Hale can be said to get twice the result with half the effort in cultivating his fighting qi, but after just half an hour of cultivation, Hale already felt that there was a trace of aura flowing along his muscles and veins in his body, and it operated according to his own thoughts, which was the result of three months of ordinary cultivation genius.
Hale didn't finish his cultivation until dawn on the second day, and although he didn't sleep all night, Hale still felt refreshed, more comfortable than a night's sleep.
Sent off by Carmen Chobant, Warden of Ottoshire, Hale boarded the carriage and continued his journey.
The army outside the city had already been assembled, and seeing Hale's carriage leaving the city, the leader of the army, Commander-in-Chief Reed, ordered the army to protect the carriage and continue its journey.
Commander Reed seemed to be an old soldier, and except for the occasional overnight stay outside at noon, he was able to reach the city home before dark, avoiding the fate of Hale sleeping in the wilderness.
Maybe it was Reed who received the king's order before leaving, or maybe it was Reed's contempt for Hale as the Grand Duke, no matter how Hale accosted him, Reed never said a word to Hale except for necessary official business.
Othello is inseparable from Hale, but Othello is silent by nature, and he rarely says anything to Hale except for instructing Hale's cultivation of fighting spirit.
The couple who followed Hale to the fiefdom were even more honest and didn't dare to say a word.
The days when no one chatted were quite boring, but fortunately, with this extremely cold vindictive book given to him by Othello, Hale had something to pass the time on the road in the future.
Whether in the carriage or in the camp, Hale practiced his fighting spirit whenever he had free time, so that the fighting spirit in Hale's body was growing steadily and rapidly, and the speed of his progress made Othello envious.
Othello told Hale that as long as Hale had maintained such a diligent cultivation and fighting spirit, Hale would be able to break through the bottleneck of the sixth level and reach the seventh level sword master in two years at most.
The brigade walked for eight days before leaving County Otto and entering County Bohemia at the corner of the Cross Mountains.
As the second largest mountain range in the continent, the Cross Mountains stretch from the orc empire in the northern plateau in the north to the southwest, blocking the cursed land to the west of the mountain, and the northernmost section of the Orleans Kingdom in the east, which is the forward position of the Orleans Kingdom to defend against the Orc Kingdom.
However, unlike the Cursed Land, which is only separated by a mountain, this land still bears the supply of military rations for front-line soldiers with its fertile soil, and is one of the few food production bases in the Kingdom of Orleans.
The Cross Mountains bend at the junction of Otto and Bohemia, and the mountains begin to extend southeastward, gradually flattening out in the territory of the Kingdom of Zams.
The Cross Mountains are the gathering place of Demonic Beasts after the Demonic Beast Forest and the Potala Forest, and it is said that in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains of the Cross Mountains, there are tenth-level Demonic Beasts comparable to the human holy rank.
Hale walked on the edge of the Cross Mountains this time, although there were also demonic beasts, but they were all low-level demonic beasts, and the highest level was only a fourth-level demonic wolf, which could not pose a threat to the army at all.
In the area around the Cross Mountains there are many towns, most of which belong to Bohemia and a few to Otto.
These cities and homes were formed by the spontaneous gathering of people, and although they are located in the wilderness, they are still quite prosperous.
There are only two kinds of people who come to these city homes, one is adventurers, such as mercenaries from the Mercenary Guild and rangers who travel the world, both of whom hunt and kill monsters for a living.
The other is the merchants who travel between the Cross Mountains and the interior, they transport food and daily necessities from the interior to the Cross Mountains, and transport the furs and cores of the demonic beasts of the Cross Mountains to the interior.
As a result of the general peace on the continent, the intercourse between the various races became more and more deep, and it was not uncommon for people of different races to walk around the city, except for those who had been marked as slaves in their faces because they were prisoners of war.
Hale saw a lot of aliens in these city homes, some of them risking as a team of their own races, and some of them going on adventures as a team with different divisions of labor between different races.
When Hale entered the city home to rest, he saw a team of third-level magicians of the human race, three sword masters of the human race, two minotaur warriors, and two archers of the elven race, and of course these people were all under the command of the magician.
At noon on the day of Bo San, where Hale and his party were walking along the Cross Mountains, a scout suddenly came to report that there had been a fight in front of them, and by the time Hale and his party arrived, the fight was almost over.
There is only one person on the losing side, an old man in his sixties from the point of view, and there is a seventh-level earth-based demonic beast saber-toothed tiger around him, but the saber-toothed tiger's body is also spotted with blood, and his breath is already very weak, and the seventh-level earth-based defense magic earth cover has been beaten to pieces.
In front of the saber-toothed tiger, there were still two sixth-level fire demon apes, and the blood of the demon ape was lying on the ground, looking at the demon ape that was still twitching, it seemed that he had just died.
Around the Demon Ape lay more than a dozen people dressed as swordsmen, judging from their wounds, some were killed by the Demon Ape's flames and claws, and some were killed by the saber-toothed tiger's ground thorns.
There were about 20 swordsmen outside who surrounded the old man, but more than half of them were wounded.
They were taken aback when they saw Hale's brigade appear, and stopped fighting, and the old man and the saber-toothed tiger were given a little respite.
Othello saw the old man lying on the ground and cried out, "Druid! ”
"Druid?" Hale looked at Othello with a puzzled look.
Othello said: "Druids are a very old profession, mainly capable of taming magical beasts. Magical pets must be contracted from birth, and druids can tame adult magical beasts, but this class is already very rare. ”
At this time, a person who looked like a leader walked out of the group of swordsmen, and it could be seen from the fighting aura emitted by him that he was at least a mid-seventh level swordsman, and he bowed down to Reed, who was walking in front, and said: "Your Excellency General, we are the retainers of Earl Bruce, and now we are following the Earl's orders to arrest the escaped house slaves. ”
The old man who fell to the ground immediately said angrily when he heard what the sword master said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this general, I am not the domestic slave of Count Bruce, they want to plot against me because my druid inheritance cannot be achieved." ”
The swordsman was about to speak, but Hale got out of the carriage, interrupted what the swordsman was about to say, and said to the swordsman: "I want this old man, go back and tell Earl Bruce, and say that the man is the Grand Duke of Roland who is leaving." ”
"Grand Duke Roland?" The swordsman wondered.
Othello immediately said: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland is a hereditary duke just crowned by His Majesty, and he is now rushing back to his fiefdom. ”
When the swordsman heard that the other party was a duke, who was higher than his master's title, he hurriedly said: "Please forgive His Royal Highness the Duke, it is not good for us to explain to the earl if we don't take him back." ”
Hale picked up the duke's shelf and said angrily: "This duke said that if you want him, you will want him, if you still want to think about it, if you want to ask your earl to ask for it for me in person." ”
Seeing that the duck in his hand was about to fly away, the leader was in a hurry, for this operation, the seventh-level swordsman alone was killed and injured four and two were injured, which can be described as a heavy number of casualties.
Although the leader is unwilling, but the situation is stronger than people, with his own people to rob it can not be robbed, than the title of his own master and no one has a higher title, it seems that this operation is bound to fail, and he will definitely be punished after he returns.
The indignant leader of the swordsmen did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Hale, so he could only let go of the druid first, saluted Hale, and left with his own people and corpses.
After watching the group of swordsmen disappear into the vast mountains, Hale said to the old man who still insisted on standing there: "Uncle, now that the bad guys are gone, you can go home." ”
After saying that, he got into the carriage and ordered the convoy to move on.
As the carriage passed by the old man, Hale muttered to himself, "Hurry up and stop me!" Hurry up and stop me! ”
The carriage passed by the old man, and he did not hear the old man shouting to stop, and Hale sighed.
It would be a lie to say that Hale didn't want the druid's legacy, but this stubborn old man would rather die than hand over the druid's legacy to Count Bruce, which shows that this old man will not bow down like power.
So Hale had no choice but to indulge and let the old man go, hoping that the old man would give the inheritance to himself in order to repay him for saving his life, who would have thought that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child would have such a scheming.
The old man didn't stop Hale to explain that he didn't want to hand over the inheritance to him, since there was no Hale in his life, he wouldn't learn from that Earl Bruce to rob Ming, and besides, we are not such tasteless people.
When Hale was no longer hopeful, he heard the old man behind him stop Hale's carriage and said to Hale on the carriage: "His Royal Highness the Duke saved the old man's life, and the old man has nothing to repay, only an ancestral record of Warcraft, which is a book that describes the skills and habits of different Warcraft on the old man's ancestors, and I hope His Royal Highness will not dislike it and can read it carefully." ”
With that, he took a thick book out of the saber-toothed tiger's belly pouch and handed it to Hale in the car.
Originally, when the old man called Hale, Hale thought that there was a turnaround, who knew that he would give himself such a broken book.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, since the heart of the family, Hale is not easy to refuse, took the book and said to the old man: "Thank you Uncle for the book, the kid will definitely browse carefully, don't pass by, we will have a date later." ”
After speaking, he arched his hand to the old man and let the convoy continue to set off.
Watching Hale's convoy gradually move away, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and said to himself: "Young people are frizzy, and whether you can become a druid or not depends on your creation." ”
After saying that, he attached to the saber-toothed tiger and left.
Hale looked at the book of "Warcraft Record" in his hand, and turned a few pages at random, the description of Warcraft in the book is very comprehensive, from the first-level Demon Rabbit to the tenth-level Demon Dragon and other saint-level Warcraft have very detailed descriptions, it is just right for Hale, a person who doesn't know anything about the mainland, Hale will treat this book as a novel to entertain his leisure days after cultivating his fighting spirit.
After about two more days, Hale and his party finally walked out of the corner of the Cross Mountains, out of the days of being in the company of the mountains, and into the heart of Bohemia.
Bohemian County is called a strip on the map, long from north to south and narrow from east to west, bordering the Kingdom of Orleans along the northeast Cross Mountains, the Bohemian River originating from the Cross Mountains runs through the entire Bohemian County, flows from the northeast to the southwest, out of Bohemia County flows through the Holbus County of Chobanti, and finally joins the Rocky River in the Rocky Mountains that originates in the west of the continent in the Kingdom of Bellen, turns to the east and flows into the sea.
The Bohemian River can be said to be the mother river of Bohemia, and the entire Bohemian County depends on the Bohemian River and its direct flow for drinking and irrigation.
It had been another seven days since Hale walked to Bohemian City on the south bank of the Bohemian River, and on the way Hale had passed through many other cities in Bohemian County, and the lords of the cities and homes from all over the country had warmly welcomed the new duke, but when they learned that the duke's fiefdom was the Roland Continent, their expressions were unnatural and their attitudes were not so enthusiastic.
Hale knew that all of this was because of how painful his fief was, not only could it not bring benefits, but it would also kill him if he was not careful.
When he entered Bohemian City, Hale's book of "Warcraft" was almost finished, and the description of Warcraft had reached the Sanctuary Warcraft.
The last part of the book had already reached the gates of the city, and the scouts who had already told the county guards of Hale's imminent arrival had already told the county guards of Hale's arrival, and the county guards Baron Hughes Apollo had already led the officials of the county guards to wait for Hale's arrival.
Hale's spirit was unusually tired after more than ten days of travel, so Hale declined Baron Hughes Apollo's invitation to a banquet and went directly to the inn arranged by Hughes Apollo to rest.
After cultivating the fighting qi for more than half a month, Hale's body has formed a very thin fighting qi flow, and the circulating fighting qi flow can well eliminate the physical exhaustion, but the multi-day rush has made Hale's mental fatigue unbearable, and for mental problems, Hale can only rely on his own rest to alleviate it.
It was just getting dark, and Hale, who had had eaten dinner in a hurry, had already entered the bed under the service of Enid, and began to read the "Warcraft Record" left by the old druid man by the light of the magic lamp.
Although this book is only a popular science book, Hale has only observed Reed's mount from a distance, the seventh-level fire-based demonic beast, the Lion Scorpion, and knows nothing about other demonic beasts, so this book has become the otherworldly version of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in Hale's hands, which made Hale gradually obsessed with it on the boring road.
