Volume 7: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered) Chapter 51: Martial Arts Association (1)
The northern border of the Dia Empire, in the province of Galicia, the fortress of the Wall of Bones.
Unlike the south, where the north side of the undead is not geographically blocked, the Windy Plains and the Mogia Wilderness provide the best way for the undead to advance, so the area to be defended along the entire northern border is huge, which makes the undead worry and think of a lot of ways to do it.
Located in Galicia, the border province of the Dia Empire, the Fortress of the Wall of Bones was originally one of the very ordinary fortresses established by the undead on the border, and with the repeated wars, this fortress was continuously strengthened, and finally became the largest war fortress on the northern border, supporting the defense system of the entire border.
Unlike ordinary fortresses, the walls of the Wall of Bones Fortress are made of countless huge skeletons, a material that permeates every aspect of the fortress, even the foundation.
In fact, on the continent of Entagre, relying solely on strong walls for defense has long proven unworkable, and the various forbidden spells and the powerful destructive power of the heroes are enough to turn any so-called strong wall into a fragile parchment, so in order to obtain sufficient defense capabilities, each race has its own characteristics.
Taking the undead as an example, even Diar, the royal city of the Dia Empire, has a wall height of no more than thirty meters, and the thickness is only five meters, such a level of physical defense may be considered very powerful in the eyes of players, but in fact, this height can be easily climbed by even ordinary griffins, not to mention the elven Pegasus and human angels.
In fact, the biggest and most important means of defense of the royal city of Diar is not the city itself, but the entire Diya plain! After countless years of accumulation, the bones buried under this plain can be described as almost countless, providing the largest defense capital for the royal city of Diar and the entire Diar Empire.
As soon as the horn of the undead is sounded, countless resurrected corpses will fall from the corners of the entire Dia Plains and pounce on the invading enemy, and the sea of the undead will completely overwhelm any blasphemer who tries to touch the taboo of death.
Similarly, the Wall of Bones fortress has its own unique means of defense.
The material that built the entire fortress was not ordinary bones, but the bones of dragons!
In other words, when necessary, the necromancers can transform the entire fortress into countless bone dragons, and these seventh-order classes will use their great strength and sufficient numbers to repel all enemies!
Of course, while possessing this strategic-level defensive capability, the Wall of Bones Fortress itself is also powerful enough.
Compared to ordinary cities, each fortress can build twice as many recruiting buildings, which means that the recruitment speed and number of soldiers are doubled, and the Wall of Bones, as the most powerful fortress of the undead, has eight times the number of recruiting buildings compared to ordinary cities!
Coupled with the various special buildings and arcane sanctuary, it is not for nothing that this fortress has been able to stand in the North of the Dead for countless years.
Yu Bin, who walked out of the teleportation array, looked at the city wall composed of huge bones in the distance, and sighed silently. This is the accumulation of a race, don't look at the wall of bones as just a fortress, but you can see from the leopard how powerful the undead race is!
You know, every bone here represents the fall of a giant dragon!
In previous lives, the fortress was also one of the main points of support used by the undead to defend against the chaotic demons of the bottomless abyss.
After sighing for a while, Yu Bin collected his mood and walked towards the Martial Arts Association.
As players grow, they inevitably deal with various institutions established by NPCs, which were originally professional temples, where players can learn basic academics and skills, and find basic careers.
And when the player needs to go further, he must draw nutrients from the relevant institutions at a higher level. The Martial Arts Guild is a place for these undead players, where warrior or knight class players can learn more advanced academics and skills, and if they are lucky, they can even worship one of the NPCs to get the corresponding class change.
One step further up is the Royal Academy, where players can learn advanced academics and skills to further refine their abilities in order to gain the capital to impact heroes.
Of course, not just anyone can join these institutions. In fact, simply joining a professional association that is one level higher than the professional temple is already very difficult.
Also taking the Martial Arts Association as an example, ordinary players who want to join, in addition to the profession must be an advanced class of warriors, they must also meet other conditions, the level is too low, or the skill is not enough, and the players who are not well-known are not eligible to join the association.
Yu Bin was not qualified to join in the first place, although in terms of popularity, his name had already been passed on by word of mouth among many NPCs, but the strength of the fourth order was still too low.
However, the fact that Yu Bin was inaugurated as a Terror Knight helped him a lot, and it was extremely rare to be able to successfully inaugurate as a Death Knight at the fourth order, and it was natural for the Martial Arts Association to make an exception for this.
Passing through the maintenance area and the artisan area on the west side of the Bone Wall Fortress is the administrative area where the Martial Arts Association is located, where in addition to the Martial Arts Association, the Witchcraft Association and other institutions, there are also organizations such as the Death Order, the Undead Discipline Office, and the Alchemy Society.
Located on the northwest side of the entire administrative district, the Martial Arts Guild is the second largest building in the entire administrative area after the Witchcraft Guild, and is more of a huge camp than a building.
With a six-story stone castle as the faΓ§ade, behind it is a huge school yard and a martial arts arena divided into six pieces, flanked by stables and weapons maintenance rooms, and scattered with some small buildings of two or three stories high.
On each side of the castle gates stood four undead warriors armed with broad-bladed greatswords, and judging by the slightly torn armor and stained cloaks, they were by no means the guard of honor that humans used to put on a show.
Stepping forward along the steps, before Bin could reach the gate, one of the undead warriors was already in front of him: "This is not the place for you to tread, little one!" β
Yu Bin is too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, these guys who were sent to see the door are either wastes who lack talent and can no longer continue to improve, or they have angered a certain big man in the association, and they are marginalized unlucky eggs, no matter which one it is, there is no need to have a respectful attitude towards Yu Bin, he is no longer the rookie who has just entered the game, and anyone can pinch and flatten.
He took out the parchment scroll that Merlin had given him from his backpack, and the notice issued by the Martial Arts Association was just right to prove his identity.
The undead warrior unfolded the parchment scroll, and then immediately handed it back to Yu Bin: "Please wait, Your Excellency Ice Whisper Dry Bone, I need to ask the Guild Guard for instructions!" β
Even if there is only a fourth-order, Yu Bin, who has already served as a horror knight, can already be called a death knight of the reserve, and any death knight is a middle and high-ranking officer in the undead clan, and for these NPCs in front of him who are still undead warriors, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is very clear.
After a while, the door suddenly opened, and a tall skeleton in black armor walked out: "You are Ice Whisper Dry Bone?" β
"Yes!"
"Follow me!" The tall skeleton turned and walked inside the gate, "To be a part of this place, you must prove your strength!" β
How to prove your strength? It's simple, just find someone to fight! Typical undead style, rough, but effective!
Five minutes later, after slashing the black warrior who was testing his strength like a dead fish with a staggered sweep, the speed of the soul fire in the eyes of the tall skeleton increased significantly.
Before the fifth-order black warrior could get up from the ground, the tall skeleton angrily kicked the waste away: "Idiot! From now on, you're fired! Get back to your territory now! If you haven't grown up in a month's time, I'll screw your head off with my own hands and give it to those wizards to use as experiments! β
"Am I a member of the association now?" Yu Bin put away the death knell of the god of death and asked, just now he barely used any skills, just relying on ordinary fighting skills to suppress that black warrior, obviously, after the teaching of that abyss watcher, Yu Bin has surpassed his previous life in terms of skills.
The tall skeleton turned its head and stared at Yu Bin: "It's really interesting, little guy!" You can see that you're not giving it your all! β
Yu Bin shrugged.
"Excellent! I haven't been active in a long time, and now, let me try your skills! The tall skeleton casually pulled a chain hammer from the weapon rack next to him, waved it with one hand, and said.
Watching this guy easily dance the basketball-sized chain hammer with one hand, Yu Bin felt a pain in the egg. Is it necessary? A hero-level character who came to bully a fourth-order undead, this guy is not afraid to spread it out and smear his face!
Replacing the two-handed heavy sword in his hand with a one-handed sword, Yu Bin did not choose to retreat, most of the undead are actually very simple, if you are stronger than them, they are afraid of you, and if you are weaker than them, then you will never be able to gain their respect!
Seeing that Yu Bin was ready, the tall skeleton smiled and swung the chain hammer in his hand towards Yu Bin, the heavy, spiky hammer head scraped a whistling and smashed towards Yu Bin's head, looking like he wanted to smash Yu Bin into meat sauce on the spot.
Yu Bin did not flinch, stepped forward, the one-handed long sword in his hand accurately slashed on the chain between the hammer head and the hammer handle, after two strength tests, Yu Bin successfully shortened the distance of the hammer head, so that it could not reach his body.
At the same time, Yu Bin lowered his head slightly, and while the hammer head was rolled back, his feet violently rushed towards the tall skeleton.
The chain hammer is not suitable for fighting in a small space, his best battlefield is the vast field, and the knight who charges on a war horse can smash any enemy in front of him with a simple wielding of this powerful and heavy weapon, and his flesh and blood will be splashed.
Seeing that Yu Bin chose to fight melee with himself without hesitation, the tall skeleton did not choose to retreat, but also took a step forward, clenched his fist with his empty left hand, and smashed heavily into Yu Bin who rushed over.
The distance of less than three meters left the two of them with little time to perform complex movements, and while the long sword in their hands was entangled by the chain hammer, it also meant that the tall skeleton's weapon temporarily lost its effect.
With a muffled thud, the tall skeleton's fist smashed against Yu Bin's miserable green undead shield, while Yu Bin's fist with flame damage smashed into the tall skeleton's chin.
Obviously, the tall skeleton didn't expect that he would suffer from Yu Bin, a small reptile who was only a fourth-order, and he was knocked back a step without the first defense, and the flames that erupted hit his soul fire along his jawbone, making the dark blue in his eyes change for a while.
The tall skeleton that felt that its pride was hurt let out a long mouth and let out a meaningless roar, and his right hand threw away the chain hammer and grabbed Yu Bin, but Yu Bin was faster than him, relying on the jump provided by the shin armor, and slammed his entire body into the tall skeleton's body, and the fine-tuned posture made Yu Bin's shoulder armor the center point of impact, and finally passed after three failed judgments with the power of impact bonus, knocking the tall skeleton away.
The chain hammer that lost control fell to the ground with Yu Bin's long sword, and Yu Bin did not hesitate to change into the death knell of death, clenching his hands, guarding against the opponent's counterattack in place.
He knew very well that although he seemed to have the upper hand in the rush just now, he didn't actually hurt the other party much, and the huge level gap could not be smoothed out by this small means, even if he could ignore the rank gap between the two sides, but the absolute suppression of attributes could not be erased.
It can be seen from the battle records that the punch with the power of flames just now only caused less than two hundred points of damage to the opponent, and the subsequent suicide impact was even worse, it is obvious that the armor of the tall skeleton is not an ordinary product.
The soul fire in the eyes of the tall skeleton that stood up from the ground beat more violently, but he didn't attack it immediately, maybe it was Yu Bin's close combat just now that made him start to face the little undead in front of him, the tall skeleton chose to walk towards the weapon rack and drew an iron spear from above.
"I'm starting to think you're qualified to join the guild now, little one!" The tall skeleton said, "I'm the Duty Officer Nomenkan, how long you can live under my hands means how much authority you can get in the association, this is not the domain of those wizards, it's better to put away your little tricks!" β
"Then, I think you'd better consider giving me the position of duty officer!" Yu Bin said-for-tat.
Nomenkan rushed towards Yu Bin with a spear in hand: "If you can defeat me, no one will object!" β
The blue in Yu Bin's eyes was instantly replaced by scarlet, the two-handed heavy sword in his hand was slightly raised, and his legs were slightly bent: "Then come on!" β
