Chapter 251: Arrival in Nunn
Talking all the way, Levi was very happy, he had gained a lot of knowledge from Master Ophini, and most of it was high-level information that he couldn't see on the forum at all, so he was really very grateful to the other party, and he also made up his mind in his heart, he must help the other party investigate the matter of the Broken Wheel Esoteric Sect, if he can solve the other two White Ladies by the way, it would be great.
The good communication continued until Levi came to Nunn, one of the four top cities of the Empire.
Although the city built on the plains is far from being comparable to the favorable terrain of Blackstone Castle, the whole city looks very prosperous, full of carriages and people coming and going, including not only a large number of Nun's local natives and Chosen Players, but also a large number of dwarves, and even some merchants who are obviously from the southern country, worthy of the strength of a city, almost equal to other provinces.
And Levi noticed that there were still dense cannons parked on the city walls, which were not inferior in number to Blackstone Fort, and maybe even more.
And when Levi entered the city, he was immediately shocked, because a ship with a length of more than thirty meters, nearly 20 meters from the keel to the top of the mast, and a width of at least six or seven meters, with a dense cannon barrel, was parked on his right hand.
He couldn't help but be a little confused for a while, is this a warship or a chariot?
But no matter what, he absolutely did not doubt the other party's firepower, although judging from the model of the barrel, it was not loaded with a giant cannon like the Thunderer of Blackstone Fort, but its number was here, Levi had no doubt that its salvo could directly kill more than half of his subordinates!
Noticing Levi's strange appearance, Mage Ofini next to him couldn't help but chuckle: "Levi, don't be too surprised, this is a symbol of our Nunn's strength, Nune's ironclad land ship, and this is only placed at the gate of the city for deterrence, it is far from the largest model." β
Levi was a little emotional: "It is worthy of being the largest artillery manufacturing base in the empire, and it is worthy of being the only Nun that can be compared to many other provinces with one city." β
According to the information Levi had received before, in the Empire, there are a total of four cities at the top level, they are located in Rick Territory, the current capital of the Empire, the Imperial City of Aldolphus;
Located in Midden, it is the sacred place of Yuric, the god of white wolves, and is also one of the largest and most important cities in the north, Middenheim;
Located in the territory of Talabek, the largest in the territory of the empire, the sacred place of TΓ‘r, the god of nature and wilderness, and also the elder brother of the god of the white wolf, Talabein;
and finally, Nunn, near the Rick River, between Rick and Wesson, is currently the only city in the Empire that is independent and not part of any province.
Even Levi knew that if it was a few hundred years ago, Nunn was still the only one, because at that time, Fort Marien, the largest trading port city in the Old World, still belonged to the Empire, but later because of the emergence of a short-sighted and mediocre emperor in the Empire, he actually let the merchants of Fort Marion go out independently, and the price was only a few gold coins.
"Of course, there is no doubt about Nunn's strength." Mage Orfini looked at the city with pride and pride, as if she were looking at something of her own.
Levi immediately realized that the background of this Orfini mage in front of him was probably deeper than she thought, otherwise how could she look at the whole city with such eyes...
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, and the crowd was quickly separated, and then a large number of Nunn ironclad soldiers who Levi had seen before, those who were impressed by the evergreen sword treasure, appeared first, and then a knight with a two-handed giant sword, extremely strong body, and the equipment on his body looked very luxurious, and quickly ran to a bulletin board, as if he was going to release something.
And the mount under his crotch was something Levi had never seen before: it was a war lion with the head of a divine hippogriff!
Mage Ofini next to him screamed even more in a low voice: "Ah, it's the Titan Executioner, Lord Justice Theodore!" β
Justice? Looking at the powerful warrior who jumped up from his mount and was definitely more than two meters tall, Levi couldn't connect the word judge with the other party, not to mention that the other party's nickname clearly had an executioner? Shouldn't he be a part-time judge and execution?
Levi looked back left and right, and found that both Huames and Tanato's eyes were shining at each other's mounts, and he couldn't help but ask, "Well, Master Orfini, I'm actually more interested in his mount." β
"That's the Empire's top mount on land, not even one, they're half-griffins!"
"Half-griffon?"
Levi looked each other up and down and saw that it was indeed a bit similar, except that the griffin also had an extra pair of wings, which could fly in the sky.
Well, Levi had actually seen real griffons, because when his reputation in Blackstone Fort reached the stage of worship, he found that there were a lot of things that were hidden in Blackstone Fort before, and were not currently open to ordinary players, including this aerial mount, the Griffon, but the requirements for riding them were also very high.
Not to mention yourself, even the current Huames and Tanatos can't fully meet that condition, because one of them requires that only a level 10 hero can ride!
At this time, the Moorish knight quietly leaned over: "My lord, although the half-griffin looks like a griffin, in fact, there is no blood relationship between them, and the half-griffin is a special product of the empire, and it seems that there are only a small number of them in the forest near their capital. β
As he spoke, Tanato also stared closely at the majestic half-griffin, his eyes full of longing and envy, and it was clear that even for the once powerful genius Moorish knight, the half-griffin seemed to be a very rare and valuable mount.
"And if you had to choose, would you choose a griffon, or a half-griffon?"
"Half-griffon, of course." The Moorish Knight said without hesitation, "This half-griffin, which has the royal bearing and demeanor of a lion and an eagle, is the mount that all knights dream of. The griffons are also very powerful, but they don't always feel safe when they fly in the sky. β
Hearing the Moorish knight say this, several elite dwarves next to him all smiled, obviously finding some resonance, because for short-handed and short-footed dwarves, riding a griffin is not an easy task.
Of course, it is not easy for them to ride any mount, but the griffin is obviously more difficult, and the griffin knights of Blackstone Fort are simply a handful, and even though Levi's reputation has been brushed to the point of worship, the quartermaster who represents the king of Blackstone Fort is still unwilling to give Levi a few, and the price is also very high.
So in the end, Levi had no choice but to give up, because although the Dwarf Griffin Knights are a 5th-order class and have very strong strength, as an air unit, if they can't gather a certain number, they still can't play a big role, and they are not like the Wind Lantern God, they can be used as consumables casually, anyway, they can be re-summoned with some gold coins and some elemental crystals.
Soon the executioner Justice, who rode a half-griffin, drove away with a large number of Nunn's ironclad troops, leaving a huge notice that occupied almost the entire bulletin board, and Levi was sure that the other party had really come to issue a mission.
So he immediately leaned over as well, and then he realized that it turned out to be a very large regional mission.
Invasion of the Northern Barbarians: Further north in the Ice and Snow Kingdom of Kislev, the murderous Norscan pirates began to raid the entire Old World coast on a large scale, with the hardest hit being the Kingdom of Kislev.
The Snow Queen, Tsarin, sent an invitation to the chosen heroes and adventurers of the Old World, promising that those who had achieved meritorious service in war would receive all kinds of support from the kingdom, and even all levels of official rank, up to the rank of prince.
At the same time, as a staunch ally of the Kingdom of Kislev, the Emperor also ordered that all provinces could organize their own armies to support, or they could go to the capital city of Aldolph, and the Empire would regularly send warships to the front line of the Kingdom of Kislev.
"It's a big operation."
Levi was a little emotional, it looks like this should be the second major expansion after the Beastmen? It's just that unlike the beastmen who are all over the world, most players are still very new to Norscar pirates.
Although the Norskar pirates had begun to frequently invade the Kingdom of Kislev during the previous Beastmen Rebellion, so far, there is not much information about them on the forums, because the class trees of these guys are very monotonous, with only three or two classes in almost every class.
However, their strength is quite good, with more attack and more blood, but lower defense.
Levi took on the task casually, but he didn't mean to leave immediately, and he would solve his own problems first.
After taking over the task, Levi found that Mage Orfini was still frowning and staring at the proclamation, looking very worried, he couldn't help but be a little curious, it stands to reason that Nunn belongs to an inland city, and the Norscan pirates can't get here no matter how arrogant they are, what is she worried about?
So he couldn't help but ask directly.
Mage Ofini sighed softly, "No, I don't care about these Gnoscans, they're just pirates after all. What I care about is the evil behind them, and with the recent ravages of the undead, Skaven, Greenskins, and Beastmen, I'm just worried that another wave of chaos is about to kick off. β
"Waves of Chaos?"
Mage Orfini glanced at Levi deeply: "That's right, all the enemies of the Order Camp and the Chaos Camp, the four gods of Chaos who want to destroy everything and completely wipe out the entire world. β
The Four Gods of Chaos, as Levi knows, are said to be the gods believed in by the Beastmen:
Tzeentch, a symbol of intrigue and conspiracy;
Nurgle, a symbol of disease and decay;
symbolizes lust and depravity;
Symbolizes brutality and destruction of the Horror of Abuse.
They are collectively known as the Four Gods of Chaos, and in short, they are enemies of all the factions of order, but this is the first time Levi has heard that they are also enemies of the evil camp, in other words, they are actually a third faction that has never been opened before?
As if Levi hadn't understood too much, Master Ophini added, "There is evidence that the Broken Wheel Esoteric Cult that I mentioned earlier is that they are Tzeentch's followers. β
I see, Levi only then understood, but he was not as anxious as the other party, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, it was a big deal, anyway, it was just a game for him.
So he immediately volunteered: "Master Orfini, if there is anything you need me to do, just ask." β
"I need more dimensional stone shards. In exchange, I'll impart more advanced powers to you in advance, and when you bring back the Dimension Stone Fragments, I can trade them for any Elemental Crystals you need. β
Seeing that Master Ofini and a woman are so happy, what else does Levi have to hesitate about?
"Deal!"
So the two of them agreed on the street, and the other party also paid Levi in advance, and the soul battle guilt carving technique that was originally stuck at the advanced level of 99.99% instantly broke through to the master level, and then Levi could make soul war guilt with the strength of the 3rd order elite in batches.
And in order to repay Levi's kindness in killing the Luo Bo brothers before, the other party also taught him a new skill, that is, the Shadow Hound Hunting Technique that had bitten the pair of necromancer brothers badly before.
Shadow Hound Hunting Technique: Through a short spell cast, you can summon a hound composed of shadow energy to attack the enemy, the Shadow Hound has a high resistance to physical attacks, and it can see through illusions and stealth below a certain level, as your intelligence and knowledge and other corresponding attributes improve, the strength and number of Shadow Hound will also increase.
For this skill, Levi doesn't care about the Shadow Hound attack ability or anything, the skill that sees through illusion and stealth is the most important, and according to the other party, this skill is born to restrain the thief class.
As for the rest of her skills in this area, Mage Orfini said she still had them, but it wasn't time to hand them over to Levi yet. Levi's, of course, could understand what the other party meant, that is, he didn't give enough.
After agreeing on the time and place of the next meeting, Levi was going to say goodbye, although he gained a lot from chatting with the other party, but he didn't come to Nunn this time to chat with the other party.
"By the way, Master Orfini, do you know where the monastery of the goddess of war Melmitya is located?"
"Goddess of War? Are you going to become a War Knight? β
Mage Orfini turned her gaze to Levi, then at Hua Meisi beside him, and finally she smiled and pointed in the direction of the southeast: "There, about three hundred and fifty meters, there is the only Aquila Monastery in the Empire at present. β
After thinking about it, Mage Ofini took out a badge engraved with a black rose from his waist and handed it to Levi: "If you encounter any difficulties, take out this badge, otherwise those proud knights are not so easy to talk to." β
Levi took a look and found that this item called the Black Rose Badge was simply written on it that it was owned by the Draken family, it was a mission item, and there was no other information, but Levi still thanked the other party very gratefully, because he knew that the famous Cemetery Rose Lady was the patriarch of the Draken family, and the other party's face was definitely not ordinary!
Master Ofini chuckled and shook her hand, "No need to do this, you have done a lot for me, and I have also witnessed your potential, and your amazing growth rate, maybe we can have more and more extensive cooperation in the future." β
After a slight hesitation, Mage Orfini continued, "However, I suggest you think carefully before making a formal decision, the Goddess of War sect originated in the far south, and their Aquila Monastery here was founded by an Imperial Knights, perhaps it is not the same as the real Goddess of War Monastery. β
Leaviston, who was already full of joy, paused for a moment, and then he thanked the other party again: "Thank you, I'll pay attention." β
After bidding farewell to Master Orfini, Levi followed the other party's previous instructions and soon came to a small monastery, with a battle flag on a black background fluttering at the door, on which was painted a golden eagle holding a spear, presumably this was the battle flag of the Aquila Monastery.
At the door, there were at least dozens of players waiting in line, and Levi could even see that several heavily armed knights were charging at the door, and it seemed that just entering the Aquila Monastery required a certain amount of admission money...
The Moorish knight Tanatoe also seemed to be stunned, and the scene in front of him was really shocking to him: "My lord, maybe you should reconsider, this place seems to be different from the monastery of the goddess of war in my impression... β
Of course, Levi knew this, in fact, in the entire Old World, there were dozens of gods, and there were monasteries of all sizes, but it was the first time he had heard of such a monastery that charged direct entrance fees.
Thinking of what Mage Ophini said just now, Levi's mood was a little complicated: "Huameisi, tell me what you think, do you want to become a religious knight under the command of the goddess of war?" β
Contrary to Levi's expectations, Hua Meisi did not hesitate, and directly shook his little head quickly: "No, no, no, I don't want to." β
Livingston turned his head in surprise, "But isn't your dream to be a real knight?" If you want, no matter what the cost, I'll help you achieve your goals. β
Hua Meisi lowered his head and thought about it, and finally shook his head very resolutely: "No, Levi, the goddess of war may be a very good goddess, but the knights under her command are not necessarily very good knights, and now I want to be a knight of Bretonnia, a knight of the goddess of the lake." Although she sometimes seemed a little naΓ―ve because of her age and experience, it was the knights at the door who did not shy away from collecting the money, and she couldn't ignore it.
Levi was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and patted the other party's shoulder: "Okay, Huamesi, I respect your choice, let's work together in this direction." β
Huamistan laughed, and then her attention was quickly drawn to the bustling sights of the roadside, which was much more prosperous than the dwarven Blackstone Castle, and there were many, many new things she had never seen before.
Looking at the elated Huames, Levi couldn't help but feel a little melancholy for a while, because the other party chose a very difficult path: all Bretonnian knights must be 100% noble, but Huamez was just an ordinary shepherdess before, and the aristocratic sequence of the knight kingdom has always relied on inheritance, not promotion.
According to the information that Levi has, at least in the past thousand years, there will be absolutely no commoner who has become even the lowest noble, let alone a knight.
But no matter what, this is her own choice, and she just needs to support it to the end. Even if she really can't be a Bretonnian knight, at least she's still a Huameisi, and she's still her own sister-like existence!
After figuring it out, Levi left directly with the troops, he wanted to learn about Nunn's various special classes as soon as possible, and then go to sweep the nezumi as quickly as possible, harvest enough dimensional stone fragments, and then learn all the spells about soul shame of Mage Ophini!
