Chapter 438: A Demon Comes from Far Away
What is a purple swordfish?
Seeing Baron Twilight's puzzled face, Kim Lud explained: "The Purple Swordfish is a strange beast born in the void, shaped like a swordfish on the sea, but its body surface is colorful, and purple veins are its signature feature. When the Purple Swordfish moves at high speed in the void, its sword-shaped upper lip can easily penetrate the atmospheric shield and water elemental shield constructed by the level eighty air or water system Grand Magister, and it also has extremely powerful destructive power against ice, earth, and fire elemental shields. In the Exotic Battlefield, the Purple Swordfish's upper snout is a highly prized material for Exotic warriors - it can be used as a weapon with simple polishing, and when used with poison, it is simply invincible. This purple-veined swordfish kiss is what a high-level exotic warrior left on my arm! That's why I got six months of leave. Hehe, this time, thanks to you, I have free time to visit a few old friends, it just so happens that you are a master blacksmith, this thing, I will give it to you! β
"It's too precious!" It's not that Boss Su doesn't dare to ask for such a material, but he feels that the old man is not well-intentioned! The most important thing about your hidden attribute is 'Benevolence', if you really process and use this weapon, the Benevolence attribute will most likely be affected!
The old man guessed that Baron Twilight was worried: "This material, if you wait for you to break through the grandmaster-level blacksmith and then process it, it is possible to forge a rainbow-level weapon!" But it will be very difficult, and due to the poisonous properties of this fish's kiss, ordinary blacksmiths can't make advanced modifications to it, so it's just you - you can give your forged weapons to your brother! β
It seems that he has spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The baron no longer shirked: "You are right. I think this material is really what some of my brothers need. Thank you so much! β
"That's right! Making the best use of what is available is a craftsman's respect for any available material"
This treatment, gift, and communication increased a lot of understanding and mutual trust between Jin Lude and the people of the Seven Swords Squad, and they really let go of their estrangement and began to have an open dialogue and exchange.
Speaking of the Baron's recent achievements, Kinruth lamented: "In the Age of Darkness and Ignorance, many warriors of the tribe made the hunting of people of rival tribes a necessary part of their rites of passage. Those who dare to eat their opponents are even more feared than others, so much so that ogres abound in this land. When people gradually woke up and realized that eating their own kind did not make them stronger, but only highlighted their own ignorance and cruelty, cannibalism began to be rejected by the public. But people are still horrified by the devil's actions that dare to eat people in public. There is no doubt that ogres exist all over the world, but in recent centuries, there have been no more famous people who have dared to act in public than the three men of Dark Dawn: Amin, Mobutu, and Bossaka. Amin was the Great Chieftain, Mobutu was king, and Bossaka was once emperor. Their strength is also stronger than the other. β
The three most 'famous' ogres of the Dark Dawn have been learned from the side. But you can't get a glimpse of a game session or the specific shape of an NPC setting. The best way to do this is to ask from the high-level NPCs of the Order faction. Killing one Armin will bring many benefits to Seven Swords, and inquiring about the news of the other two ogres will become a job that Seven Swords must carry out at any time. Baron Twilight sent an eyeball-eyed icon in the team chat to signal everyone to cooperate, and he directly commanded Kim Lude: "Senior, my brothers and I think that this guy Amin is not easy to deal with, but as long as we are not unlucky, we still have hope to kill him." Can you tell us about the prowess of the other two famous ogres? Given the opportunity and possibility, our brothers wouldn't mind sending the other two ogres to hell as well! β
Jin Lud laughed: "Young people, determination, courage, and daring are very noble qualities, but these require strength as a foreshadowing - a teenager cannot surpass a healthy young man in physical strength, and he can't even defeat an old man." So I'm curious how you managed to defeat Amin! β
Baron Twilight didn't hide it: "One of our companions was able to use the remnants of the Black Mamba Snake King to summon the Black Mamba Snake King into battle. β
"Black Mamba King Snake? This poisonous snake is more difficult to deal with than Amin, right? β
The baron showed his non-commissioned officer whip: "When I participated in military training, I stole this from the instructor!" β
"Ahem...... I've done this before! It's a pity that it was discovered by the instructor...... How do you do it? I mean, how did you get past the inventory check? β
The baron probably said that he entered the Bogda Secret Realm to get the favor of the mountain god Tar, and was added to the five-bar security pack: "I also have an appointment with a black dragon in the secret realm, and I want to challenge it when my strength is equal to it." The name of this black dragon is Tiramisu, and I can't tell its level, but one of its scales is that big! The baron gestured with both hands and drew a circle slightly larger than the basin.
"So big? It should be up and down eighty levels. Jin Lud looked at the baron again: "According to what you said, you have a little friendship with this black dragon. However, if you fight with a small difference in strength, it will most likely be a situation of endless death, because other than that, you will not be able to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. I advise you to choose the timing of the decisive battle carefully. Do you want to know the weaknesses of the black dragon? β
"I don't want to!" If you want to challenge the black dragon, you must at least reach level seventy-five or higher. Knowing the weakness of the black dragon, it will definitely develop deliberately in the established direction. This will lose the joy of the game, and it is not a situation that Boss Su is willing to face: this means that he will be led by the nose by the black dragon!
Jin Lude didn't expect the baron's answer to be so firm and happy: "I have to admit that with your strength, I can't see through it, you are the first!" β
The group walked and chatted, feeling that it was getting late, and directly set up camp on a sunny slope. The Seven Swords are all single tents that are slightly larger than an ordinary bed, and Jin Lude raised his hand to release a giant yurt that could fit all the seven swords and ten tents in: "Put away your tents!" Since I'm traveling with me, there's no reason why I'm living more comfortably on my own. This tent can also help you recover your strength faster. β
The tent is the companion material of the standard team of the Guardians of the Galaxy, in addition to the twelve floor beds that have been erected, there is a small 'bar' in the middle, drinks, tea sets, stoves, and a series of numbers embroidered on the door. Seeing that most of the adventurers of the Seven Swords had a bright look on their faces, Jin Lude smiled and said, "This is the military supply material for the foreign battlefield. Even if I want one, I have to exchange it for military merit points on the battlefield, and I can only exchange it for old goods that I have used. Let you enjoy it in advance, and it will also allow you to add a little bit of the glory of joining the military to fight for humanity. Look at this-" The old man raised his hand and grabbed a silk silk hanging above his head, and a trace of magic energy flashed with golden light and walked up: "As long as you inject magic energy or fighting energy that is biased towards the light attribute, you can automatically keep the tent on alert, and all abnormalities within a radius of ten miles will appear in the mirror image at the top of the tent." My Dou Qi is metallic, and the background color of the mirror image is also golden, if someone comes, as long as he does not use metallic magic energy and Dou Qi as a cover, he will definitely appear in the mirror image. β
Sanqi pouted: "When you say this, doesn't that expose the lack of vigilance ability of this tent?" β
Su Lao laughed and said, "You are raising the bar!" This is a squad configuration, there are twelve people on the battlefield, do you know who is on duty at night? Whose power does the vigilance energy use? β
Kim Lud said: "The answer is correct. On the battlefield, there is no such thing as a perfect defense. The best way to defend is to attack. And the best means of attack is to use material resources to consume the opponent's life and offensive ability. Today, I would like to show you the ball of prophecy that an old friend of mine made for me. β
The Ball of Prophecy is a crystal ball handmade by Wang Zhude, a master of prophecy known as the 'Delusional Whisperer'. Those who wish to make a destiny prophecy can hold the crystal ball in both hands and inject their own power into the ball at the same time, and when the energy on both sides touches, they can see the revelation of their fate in the crystal ball - the only thing to pay attention to is the way you interpret it, which is a revelation, not an assertion.
"The Orb of Prophecy can provide revelation three times a day. Baron, you try. The remaining two times, you decide for yy. β
Feng Wu Jiutian said: "Old man, our Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment never asks for reasons in this kind of matter, only talks about luck. You have appointed the captain to test, but you have broken our rules! β
"The fate of the captain is most closely related to the entire team. Is this reason enough? β
Boss Su laughed and said, "You guys always use my identity as the captain to bully me, now it's time to know the importance of leadership?" Shake it up. Keep your eyes peeled for good! β
There is more than one kind of power: Suzaku's life fire and thunder magic energy are all high-grade power systems, and holding the crystal ball in both hands at this time, it is actually activated by two powers at the same time. The life force of his left hand emitted a soft white glow, pouring into the crystal ball like a cloud; The lightning magic energy in the right hand ignites wisps of electric fire in the crystal ball, which crystallizes and accumulates like ice crystals in the center of the crystal ball. As soon as the two forces came into contact, a vague dark red devil's head was formed on the side of the crystal ball facing Baron Twilight's chest, with its horns and articulate teeth, slowly floating towards the Baron's chest. Before the skull reached the center of the crystal ball, it exploded with a thud, scattering into a red cloud.
Jin Lude's face was dumbfounded: "You have a very powerful enemy coming from afar. Judging by the clarity of the devil's head, this enemy is far superior to your squad! You need to be careful! "The enemies of the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment have always been characters whose strength is superior to that of the Seven Swords! But in the eyes of people like Jin Lude, the other party's strength can still be called 'strong', which is enough to prove that the comer is not good!
The other two test places that won the shake point were the teenagers Ah Fei and Feng Wu Jiutian.
Ah Fei's left hand was a dark black gas, and his right hand was a golden needle-like fighting qi that pierced into the crystal ball, and when the two forces met, it exploded directly into a black skull and dissipated.
Jin Lude also explained to him: "You have your own principles to adhere to, but your gambling nature is too heavy. I think you're a good lone class like an assassin. Only this time you're afraid you'll be on the way to death - it's a game of death! β
Feng Wu Jiutian was slightly hesitant. She just saw the team chat sent by Boss Su: "This crystal ball, I'm afraid it's not as simple as revealing fate." It also tests the player's abilities. Kim Luther deliberately used it for us, but I think he probably had good intentions. Think about it if you want to test it. β
Test it out. Feng Wu replied: "I think Jin Lude's purpose may not be very simple, but at the same time, I think he has no malicious intentions. Test it, if you can get the same revelation as Ah Fei and Jin Lude's tips, it's still worth it! Her ability was a verdant vine that grew from the palm of her hand, spreading and tangling towards the center of the crystal ball, and in the other hand a flame of fire. Like the young Ah Fei, the energy burst from the two powers condensed into a red skeleton, which immediately dissipated.
"Your fate is the same as that of young Ah Fei. However, your strength is very peculiar, and Ivy is a standard elven bloodline, which is difficult to show fire-based abilities. You should be careful to increase your abilities, otherwise the two forces may break out into a fierce conflict and destroy one side. β
Elves are not averse to fire, but they usually only make limited use of the power of fire. Feng Wu Jiutian pleaded with him: "Can you give me some advice?" β
"I gave it to you just now! Well, let me be clear, you should be biased! If I had to choose, I would try to become a fire elemental spirit and merge the two traditions. Strong enough, but the road is also more difficult and twisty. Little girl, you still have a lot of hard work to do! β
A high-level NPC personally guides the direction of development, which is how many players can't ask for treatment? Those who didn't get this opportunity all looked at Feng Wu and Ah Fei with envy.
Sanqi opened the door and suddenly woke up: "Why didn't he comment on Brother Orange's career development direction?" Obviously, this is not because Jin Lude deliberately forgets, but for another reason, and most of it is because Su Boss's inheritance is too advanced, and Jin Lude is unwilling to put his beak and is afraid that it will mislead Su Boss's development, so he deliberately left it alone.
Baron Twilight is more concerned with the revelation of fate. When Jin Lude carefully put away the crystal ball, he asked, "Lord Duke, we are not afraid of death. But no one wants to hang up without knowing why. Can you tell us about the death challenges we face? β
"No, no, no, you don't have to die. But your friends, may not be immune. As I have also said, this crystal ball is only a revelation - no one can interpret it accurately without the gift of prophecy. You can think for yourself, have you ever offended a powerful being or a force in the Dawn of Darkness? You see, this situation can also be triggered by you being with me. It may be my enemies who are coming to me for trouble, and you may only suffer from the fish in the pond! β
This is Kim Lud comforting the Seven Swords mercenaries. Boss Su himself understood that if it was really as Jin Lude said, the three people on his side would not be predicted by the crystal ball at the same time. "So, if you were in such a crisis, what would you do?"
Kim Luther's suggestion is two approaches. Abandon the mission, and nowγImmediately begin to retreatγ Find strong allies for refuge. "Personally, I would advise you to abandon the mission."
Why not find a strong ally?
Kim Luther: "I don't know if you'll be able to find a strong ally. I tell you that if you want to find a strong aboriginal to act for the adventurer, in addition to having sufficient interests between you, this strong person must also maintain a legal status and a reasonable schedule. You've just helped me heal, and that's enough for me to help you, but I have my own travel plansβyou know, my current short-term plans are to check on your strengths and visit one of my friends. I will accompany you to the crossing of the Saraqa River, and then leave you and go down the riverβin the meantime, if anyone is prepared to hurt you, I will certainly help you in view of your friendship for me, but I will not change my course. If this adversary attacks you after you have crossed Salaka, I will be helpless! β
According to this statement or regulation, even if Seven Swords can contact Lan Bo now, it will be difficult for them to get Lan Bo's help, because Lan Bo will not be able to obtain legal entry status in a short period of time - even his appearance in Wilana is illegal!
"We have a third way!" The baron looked at his teammates and said to King-Luther: "Face the difficulties, go through a collision first!" At the very least, we will know where the gap between us and the other person is! Moreover, you must also know that we cannot retreat in the face of unknown difficulties. Like the revelation of the crystal ball, we are not without opportunities. Your interpretation is that I don't necessarily die, my teammates may die, and they won't mind sacrificing for my mission, just as I don't care about sacrificing myself for theirs. That's where our opportunity lies, to fight our own way! β
Baron Twilight's attitude finally impressed King Luther. He had a more accurate judgment about the Adversary. These judgments were not based on the revelation of the crystal ball, but from his understanding of the Dark Dawn: this demon who was destined to be unfavorable to the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment would most likely be Mobutu, the king of steel fruits. Mobutu, like Amin, was a tyrant of the Dark Dawn known for his cannibalistic brutality. The country of Gangguo shares a border with Uda, while Mobutu and Amin have a similar smell. This Mobutu was also friendly with Bossaka, the cannibal emperor of Central Africa. "All three tyrants have been deposed, and their bodies are long dead, but their evil projections still appear in the lands where they were once active, and they are still connected to each other. If you kill Amin who appeared in Kenny, then Amin's sinful body will no longer be able to harm Kenny's people, and he will not be able to enter Kenny to seek revenge on Kenny, and he will have to sue his allies Bossaka or Mobutu. The reason why I judged that it would be Mobutu was only because Gangguo and Kenny's land were connected, and it would be more convenient for Mobutu to deal with you than Bosaka. Hehe, Mobutu's strength is not as good as Bosaka's, and his appetite is a little smaller, and Amin will pay less if he asks him to hunt you down than if he asks Bossaka to come! Now that you've decided to face the challenge head-on, I can give you two new options. β
"You say!"
"Keep your fearlessness and fight this ogre, you will be defeated, and you will have a small chance of completing your mission. Or, you find Amin's treasure buried in Kenny in advance. I believe that these treasures will be the reward that Amin gave to Mobutu, or at least the main part of the reward. After all, ogres are also unprofitable characters. β
"You mean this treasure map?" Boss Su directly initiated the transaction and wanted to hand over the treasure map to Jin Lude.
Don't, old man. "Your generosity, I really don't know if it's stupidity or generosity! You see, my wealth is no less than that of Amin. Not to mention the three caves of the cunning rabbit, Amin's treasures must also be scattered and hidden in several different countries. Also, I don't want to have anything to do with this treasure. I have my own duke, my loyal king, and a large family to take care of, and I have such a wealth out of thin air, no matter how it is distributed, there will be people who will be dissatisfied, and it is more likely that my reputation will be damaged. So, I won't touch the bloody wealth that Amin left behind. You're different, you're an adventurer, you're not a native of Dark Dawn, you're the first adventurer to kill Amin's evil clone, and if you can get your hands on this treasure, you can distribute it in a word! β
To put it bluntly, 'this' wealth, people still don't look down on Jin Lude!
The baron is reasonable, and emotional: "You are one of the richest people in the Dark Dawn, right? You don't think wealth will help you much, but we need gold! Also, this is the wealth that belongs to the people of Uda, if I can get my hands on it, I will keep a tenth of it as the remuneration of the mercenary group, and donate the rest to the people of Uda! What do you think? Help me! β
Kim Lud felt he couldn't refuse. He took the map and examined it carefully in front of everyone: "There are not many place names, they are all small places from a long time ago, and these places have either been abandoned or have been renamed, so it is really not easy to find." β
In the hands of Jin Lude, the map is shared with the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment, and everyone can see that it is a huge lake, the surface of the lake is different in width, lying in the middle of a desert, and the center of the lake is dotted with three islands like jewels. It's a very simple map, and even the description is only one sentence. It's a pity that everyone doesn't know these words.
"This is a full picture of Lake Turkana. Although there is no written description, the shape of the lake and the three small islands in the middle of the lake confirm that this is Turkana. There is no indication of the location of the treasure. This sentence ...... the caption "Kim Luther's finger pointed at the caption of the picture: "Lightning is wealth." It's a code word, or rather a riddle. Without enough wisdom, it is useless to get this picture. β
