Act XXXIX: The town of Shavlund
Act 39 of the town of Shavrund (2nd Shift)
"Retreat." Karglis stared into the forest, his face becoming stern.
"What?" Sir Mintai could scarcely believe his ears that his young son had told him to retreat. It's okay to be cautious, but isn't that a bit too trivial?
And where does his face exist?
"Bastard, my old fellow is not dead yet, and it is not your turn to command here," so Sir Mintai coughed sternly and scolded in a deep voice.
"Lord Lord, I'm afraid the young master is right." But it was at this time that the knight beside him also spoke with a solemn face: "We'd better step back—"
"What's the situation?" Sir Mintai was stunned, his old subordinates wouldn't make fun of him. Even he himself was a little panicked at this moment.
But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a terrible scream from the forest
The young man subconsciously looked up—he saw a conspicuous magical signal rising in mid-air.
Good guys, the other side is really a mob?.
That was the only thought in Caglis's mind.
……
It was already a day and a night after leaving Fir City.
Beyond the blue-black peaks, a group of people stood on the top of the mountain, their vision expanding in all directions along with the earth; The field forms a rag covered with green lattice, which stretches through the winding valley into the distance.
Brando didn't expect such a view in the Grahar Mountains, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"That's Shavlund." Juta watched down the mountain path, where red roofs dotted the forest, gradually becoming denser and forming a settlement.
The town sleeps quietly in the mountains.
It was just before noon that day, and they had already arrived.
Although Charles's words before leaving opened up a whole new way of thinking for Brando, as a free trade port, Ampesel is a place full of gold - he has more than Ramona on his hands? Isn't there a future alchemist in the painting of Dark Shine? Combined with the experience he brings from the game, it is not difficult to make a pot of gold in a free trade port.
However, Ampesel was certainly going, but the silver mines of Shavlund were also a long-term matter, so Brando did not change his plans and came to this mining town in the mountains.
"It's beautiful." Akane saw this scene in the back and muttered.
At this time, the bushes behind them made a rustling sound, and the mercenaries came out of the forest one after another, a total of twenty-seven, all of them with steady hands and feet, and sharp eyes looking around. These people at least have the strength of the peak of black iron, all of them are the elites in the hands of Yuta, in order to raise enough numbers, the female mercenary leader also went to borrow a lot of people from other small mercenary groups.
Truth be told, Brando was taken aback when he saw these people. The pinnacle of black iron is already standing on the threshold of silver, and these people can become masters with a little training, and the same is true for long-trained knights.
But compared to his own luxurious lineup, these people are overshadowed.
Not to mention Brando himself, everyone here knows that the two girls who are following the young lord on the left and right are both golden warriors; There are also two squires who have been silent along the way - they are actually angels, but the snow-white wings are too conspicuous Brando to put them away - and they also have the strength of the silver position.
For Brando, it would be too much of a waste of light for the Holy Angel to shuffle his library and summon it, even though he doesn't have a lot of capacity in his library right now, so it's easy to draw this card. However, Brando didn't have an effective means of replenishing the light element, so he simply left the two angels outside, preferring to pay a little light element a day, and he didn't use the resurrection card for the time being.
Brando's idea was to throw the two angels back when he had five light elements left, and it would be enough to save a chance to resurrect the card. The 100 points he saved while subduing the cavemen could finally be used to unlock the fire elemental land card 'Ember Volcano' and the wind elemental land card 'Storm Nest' in the card book.
At this moment, an extinguished volcano and the eye of the storm that swirls all the time in the sky are lying quietly in the separate space of his mental structure, and the only land card left in the card album is a fire elemental land card: Karodo Wasteland.
With an Anemo land, summoning the Wind Spider is no longer a burden. The fire elemental land, on the other hand, allowed him to target a card in the deck:
Fire Djinn
(Scorched Hell X)
15 fire
[Creature - Elemental/Djinn, Level 36 Creature]
Tap to cause the fire djinn to deal massive damage to your enemies and shuffle them back into your library.
When the fire djinn is on the field, pay 2 fire per day.
'On the scorched earth, the fire djinn has always terrified its enemies—'
(Purchase Condition: Pay 50 Ignition Elemental)
Buying this card requires fire elementals rather than wealth, which is appealing to Brando, who desperately needs to build wealth to unlock those 'resource' fate cards.
Although the need for fifty fire elementals is a bit too much for the current Brando's current pool of fire elementals of only thirty-seven; But it doesn't matter, as an elemental envoy who is biased towards fire, as long as he has nothing to do and practices more fire-based spells, the fire elemental pool will naturally slowly expand.
Fortunately, when he increased the level of the elemental envoy, the few initial spells he chose were basically fire-based, fire arrows or something, and the consumption of mana would not be very large.
And in addition to this, another card that had already been pre-ordered also came into his sights:
Silver dovetail flag
(Korn Ferry VII)
12 (or) water
【Treasures-Strange Things/Fantasy】
When the Silver Dovetail is on-field, the maintenance cost of all creatures on the field is reduced by 1, so if there are multiple maintenance costs, choose one of them.
Tap to designate a card that doubles the wealth it generates.
'Flowing Silver-'
(Purchase Condition: Pay 100 Fortune)
This card made Brando's salivation so long ago that he was hesitant for a long time to decide whether to land or this card even when he first chose. It wasn't until Charles gave him a mention that he made up his mind - no matter what, the basis of the power of the Brigade Mage was still the land card.
"What are we going to do next," Akane asked, turning back as she slung the axe and gun on her shoulder—one couldn't help but worry if the girl's tiny shoulders would be overwhelmed—"Lord Lord?" ”
Before Brando could speak, it was the mercenary captain who spoke first: "Shavrund is a small town that developed through silver mines, and most of the people who live in the town are miners. The prosperity was built on the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the miners, and there were many merchants' shops and a few inns in the town. ”
"There will be an inn in this kind of place?" The red-haired girl interrupted her.
"Not surprisingly, Schafflund is also the furthest point east into the Grahal Mountains, a place frequented by adventurers. Not to mention the legend that there is an open-pit silver mine in the forest, and many people who come here dream of making a fortune. ”
"Open-pit silver mines?" Roman's voice came out from behind, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
They all looked back, and saw Miss Merchant, the last to emerge from the bushes—she was still tugging at her skirt with one hand to prevent it from hanging on any branch,
But this time she didn't run out alone, but Brando asked her to come with her. The Shavlund Silver Mine must have a lot of accounts, and they don't know it by themselves, and only Roman can read them here except Antitina.
"It is said that there are indeed silver veins in the open air in the forest, and some people have seen them, and some have even made a fortune from them. But after all, it was a minority, and most people went home empty-handed. Jutta replied.
"Even so, so many people are here?" Akane was a little puzzled, "I've heard that there are several inns here?" ”
"People only see a handful of success stories." Brando looked at Shavlund below and said.
Although Yuta thought the grammar of the lord's words was a bit strange, she had to agree that this was the case. She nodded, "Your Excellency is right. What's more, those adventurers who have made a fortune just turn around and throw the money they have earned on the gambling table, and lose everything in the blink of an eye. ”
"What comes easily, is easy to lose." Métisa's voice was always low and soft, and she described it in an old silver elf proverb.
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
But Roman expressed a different opinion: "Since someone has made a fortune because of this, it must be true?" She seemed to be obsessed with the open-pit silver mines, "My aunt used to say that such a thing as a husband is not guilty, but such a thing as a crime must attract the attention of the nobles, right?" The open-pit silver mine will make the people under Count Denel tempted."
"But no one who has ever found an open-pit silver mine has ever gone into the forest to find a vein," Juta shook her head, "and this is the mysterious place of this forest." ”
"Huh?" Roman's eyes widened, obviously extremely curious about this kind of thing.
Akane shook her flaming ponytail and pursed her lips, "Gods and ghosts, most of them are fake, those who have made a fortune, and it is not necessarily because of the discovery of open-pit silver mines, maybe it is just a rumor."
"It's a possibility." Brando thought of another possibility, but he was going to turn the subject back to the point: "But let's talk about our plan first, Yuta, you are most familiar with this place, you can tell me your opinion first." ”
"My lord, two miles northeast of Schavrund is the mine. Every morning, workers enter the mine through a specially carved mountain road. The road was lined with towers and patrolled by light cavalry, and it was impossible for us to walk in so openly. ”
"Is there only one way?" Brando asked, "With our group's skills, how likely is it to sneak in from the mountains?" ”
"It's not impossible," Juta thought for a moment, "but I've heard that the captain of the mine is a swordsman with a golden median strength. ”
Brando nodded, thinking that it was strange that there was no master in this kind of place, knowing that the Supreme Defense Commander of the Fort Tobaland Silver Mine was a sword master who had cultivated the elements.
"Well," he replied, "is not a difficult task to enter the town of Shavrund compared to the well-defended mines, where there is a great flow of people, and we will not attract much attention if we break it up and divide it in; Everyone should take care of their own funds and stay in the hotel. ”
Brando glanced at the sky: "Let's meet again in the evening, have you remembered all the signs agreed in advance?" ”
Everyone nodded.
"Then let's get moving."
