Chapter 039: The Fourth Crystal
Save Han Bo from the trap and snatch the Hurricane True Crystal Ball from the Bloodline. For Yang Jiangong, it was very smooth.
Light, darkness, and hurricanes use these three crystal balls of true knowledge to perceive and locate. Yang Jiangong discovered the fourth and fifth crystal balls of true knowledge.
The black fog was dispelled, and Crottilda, a fantastic land of ice and snow in the eastern part of the Far North 'Linhai Snow Field'.
In the open field of view, white snowfields and green forests are interspersed with tens of thousands of miles from Krotilda to the foot of the icebergs in the far east. In the meantime, a few human gatherings are occasionally embedded, but they are just a few small black dots in the vast world.
You could say that Crothilda's territory is huge, stretching from Crothilda to the east, to the entire untouched polar glaciers, as well as the entire 'forest and snow fields', which can be summed up within its territory.
But it can be said that Crothilda is a barren and weak country, compared to the population base of the mainstream continent, Clotilda's small population of millions is really a little insignificant, and Crothilda lacks all kinds of basic resources, people are generally closed and autonomous in the form of a tribe or a clan, in this kind of population distribution scattered and frozen traffic environment, it is often most likely to lead to the kingdom's decrees difficult to implement, and in the end even the rights of the king have to be questioned. In fact, many tribes did just that, and it was only when the enemy invaded or the kingdom was asked that the leaders of the tribes would respond to the call of some kings.
In the peculiar land of ice and snow in Crotilda, there are only three cities of relatively large size. They are the Diqian City of the Extreme East Glacier, the Fengyi City of the Arctic Ice, and the City of Krotilda, which is known as the first fortress. The three cities of ice and snow are located at three points apart, guarding three of the most valuable areas of the kingdom.
(For example, the Cold Iron Mine near Diqian City, the Polar Ice Bear Breeding Ground of the Seventh-level Ice Monster in Fengyi City, and the Clotilda Fortress at the Gateway of Crotilda.) )
The three treasure lands of the Cold Iron Pit, the Ice Bear Breeding Ground, and the Forest Sea Snow Field are the lifeblood of the Kingdom of Crottilda, and are important resources under the direct control of the king. It was also once coveted by other realms of the Tianyan Continent. However, history has proven that the sword and blood of the Crottilda are not afraid of any kind of challenge.
If you look at Crottilda as a world. The Crotilda is like a myriad of snowflakes scattered by the goddess of ice and snow. They were sent to this world like falling snow by the wind of fate, and when they looked back, they could not be found.
Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, in ancient times, there were four major gods in the Ice and Snow Continent, the Hell Race, the Nature Race, the Light Race and the Fallen Race.
Solomon, the people of hell; A mystical family, the absolute master of power and the dark element, deified as a god by countless dark believers. Solomon always appeared to the world in the form of a demon, and many monsters from hell liked to follow him. Legend has it that its right hand can destroy everything.
Druids of Nature; In addition to the unbelievable magic of nature. The druid was also good at wielding a rectangular bladeless heavy sword, which was also known as the Raven God Swordsman because of its huge beak and a crow's head.
Angels of the Nation of Light; The Angels of Light are in human form, with a halo above their heads and a pair of white wings on their backs, they are the messengers of the Lord of Light, sent by God to help those in need of salvation, to convey God's will, and to be the guardians of the doctrine of Light and the spokesmen of the Lord of Light.
Angels of the Fallen Race; The form is humanoid. The blood-red pupils are always burning with the ** of killing, and there is a pair of pitch-black membranous wings behind them, they believe in darkness and are eager to kill. He is the messenger of the dark god. He is also the guardian of the Dark Church.
The four great gods are not only born warriors, but also have a series of extraordinary magical talents. In this world, people who can double cultivate magic and martial arts and reach a certain level can be called geniuses, and the talents of the four major gods are the envy of countless people, which makes the four major races be respected as gods and at the same time be called the ultimate demon martial arts by the world.
But it's just a legend.
Because of the secret method of taming wolves. Therefore, the frozen castle of Crothilda has maintained a wolf cavalry formation of 800 men, which is the tradition of the Solomonic family. However, in the past ten years, the situation on the Shenwu Continent has been chaotic, and even the remote frozen castle has to consider improving its limited defense force.
………………
From the perspective of Yang Jiangong's exploration. The person carrying the fourth crystal ball of Truth was a young man named Gavin.
At the end of the morning's workout, in the shop of a 'Philip' firm near Ximen Street, Gavin, dressed in plain clothes, was curiously picking up a 'taming egg' and looking at it, it was a football-sized taming egg covered with pitch-black lines and an oval shape, but it lacked the flowing luster described in the book.
Speaking of Gavin's purpose on the street this time, it was mainly to purchase a weapon. As for this 'taming egg', it is completely out of the curiosity of children, after all, such a rare thing as taming eggs is not something that can be seen everywhere.
"I'm afraid that a taming beast egg of this shape must be at least level five or above. It's just like something is missing......" Gavin looked thoughtful as he looked at the taming eggs in his hands.
Unlike Warcraft eggs, taming eggs are a type of beast eggs laid by the crossing of Warcraft and ordinary beasts. Tamers usually only maintain the form of ordinary beasts, and while they inherit the physical abilities and strength of the beasts, they completely lose the most prominent magical abilities of the beasts. Although the combat power cannot be compared to Warcraft, it is only used for support, and these are quite enough. You must know that a truly strong man does not disdain to rely on taming beasts to fight.
Moreover, signing a contract with a tamed beast does not require mental power at all. The advantage of taming an egg is that even an ordinary person who doesn't know any martial arts and magic can form a good combat power as long as he has a high-grade beast taming egg.
In the profession of magician and warrior, the mage is the most destructive in terms of destructive power, and the warrior is the most dominant in terms of physical agility and physical fitness. In the time it takes for a mage to recite a spell, enough time for a warrior of the same level to kill a mage several times in a single face. The length of the spell and the fragility of the body are in themselves the Achilles' heel of a magician.
As we all know, having a combat or defensive magical beast can better reflect the dignity of a magician's identity. Imagine a warrior who is trying his best to fight the magician's monster, when he is suddenly hit by a magical bombardment, and the result can be guessed if you don't want to.
In the life of a magician. Usually you can only sign a contract with one monster. The more advanced the Warcraft, the higher the intelligence, and the wisdom of some high-level Warcraft is not even much different from that of humans. Moreover, the monster is brutal and proud, unless it has the strength to defeat it completely, it would rather die than surrender to humans.
It is usually a headache for a mage to obtain a powerful magical beast. Either completely defeat the opponent and make the opponent voluntarily sign a contract, or kill the monster and capture the young eggs of the monster. It's hard for an average mage to do this, let alone a warrior who doesn't know anything about mental power. (It takes a lot of mental power to sign a contract with a monster) until the appearance of the taming egg, this situation was changed.
"This young master, do you want this taming egg? But......" The shopkeeper looked carefully at the two tall Buck and Kosk behind Gavin, carrying two-handed swords, and hesitated in his words.
"But nothing. Do you think our young master can't afford it? Kosk's face turned cold, he didn't have the slightest affection for these profit-seeking merchants.
"Of course not, I mean...... This is not a beast taming egg, it is just a monster egg that will not hatch, because its interior has been petrified, so it only has a general ornamentality, if this young master wants to choose a taming beast egg, our firm can provide several high-grade second-class beast taming eggs for you to choose. The shopkeeper said with a smile. But he scolded secretly in his heart. This 'treasure of the town store' is just a bluffing stunned youth, and he still has to tell the truth to some people with identity and background. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, once he pokes the basket, he does not believe that the owner of 'Philip' will stand up for a small branch like him.
"Monster eggs that won't hatch? Well, and this steel dagger. How much do you count? "Gavin took out his money bag and prepared to buy this strange 'monster egg' as well.
The shopkeeper laughed knowingly, stretched out five fingers, and said, "Since you have decided to ask for it." Then this monster egg plus a steel short sword will be paid...... Fifty silver coins. ”
"What! A sword is only thirty silver coins, and you dare to ask for twenty silver coins for this useless 'bird's egg'? The hot-tempered Buck roared. Looking at his green forehead, there is a posture that dares to clash you alive.
"Your Excellency, you heard me wrong." With a sad face, the shopkeeper explained, "The price of a steel dagger is sixty silver coins,...... It's already cheap to charge you fifty silver coins. …… As for this 'Monster Egg', it's a free gift from my 'Philip' Comptoir to Master Gavin. ”
"Uncle Barker, the price of this steel sword is indeed sixty silver coins." Gavin chuckled at Buck. He took out fifty silver coins from his money bag and couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper, "Do you know my name?" "You have to know that you don't usually come to Ximen Street, and this shop called 'Philip' is the first time in his life that he has visited.
The shopkeeper escaped Barker's bluffing eyes and replied with a smile to Gavin, "Young Master Simon, the only son of the city lord, I can guess when I see the 'Lord Kosk Guard' and the 'Captain of the Buck Army' behind you. If I don't have that eyesight, then I don't have to mess around here. ”
Gavin immediately realized that anyone who was in this ice fortress generally knew Kosk and Buck. This city is not big, and it is not surprising that the other party can know his name.
"Hmph, you old man has a bit of vision."
Buck muttered and took the initiative to pick up the shopkeeper's wrapped-up items, and the group left the 'Philip' comptoir's shop.
On the way, Gavin asked curiously, "Uncle Kosk, Uncle Barker, I don't think I've ever seen your tamers?" ”
"Taming beasts? Hehe, I believe in my sword, so my tamer is just a red horse, and I only use it when I go far away. For a third-level warrior, the combat power of the low-level beast tamer is completely negligible, and the high-level beast tamer with good combat effectiveness is scarce and expensive, so many warriors are willing to choose a more practical horse tamer for transportation, like the city lord's 'one-horned horse', which is a high-grade horse tamer that travels thousands of miles every day. Kosk patiently explained to Gavin, but looked at Buck out of the corner of his eye, and then said in a playful tone, "Buck has a fighting beast, and I know that he happens to be wearing his tamer ring today. ”
"Uncle Buck, can you show me your tamer?" Gavin looked at Buck expectantly.
"......" Buck turned his head and looked at Kosk like a resentful woman, holding back for a long time without uttering a word.
Although he had already expected it, after seeing Buck's taming beast, Gavin couldn't help but laugh out loud. In Buck's own words, he chose a second-class 'porcupine' to be a beast tamer because he was once weak and poor, and because he was young and ignorant......
(There is usually only one chance to sign a contract with a tamer)
After the morning's workout, Gavin, along with Buck and Kosk, passed by the West Street of Tugang City and walked in the direction of the military camp outside the city. Perhaps because of the other half of his bloodline, Gavin is not only amazingly talented, but also slightly more mature physically than his peers. At least from the outside, Gavin, who has reached the age of sixteen, has developed like a young man of twenty-one or two.
In the laws of the kingdom, every boy who reached the age of sixteen was required to join the army and become a compulsory reservist. In the three-year compulsory soldier, if you can become a professional, you can become a full-fledged legionnaire.
In the era of martial arts, every teenager is proud to be a great warrior, although there are still many people who want to become a magician with a more noble status, but unfortunately it is too difficult to become a magician, and there is only one person in 10,000 people who have magical talents, such a low probability, ordinary people don't think about it.
Comparatively speaking, it is much easier to become a swordsman and warrior, as long as you reach the age of sixteen and reach the minimum level of a warrior, you can join the military and become a voluntary reserve soldier. And as long as you exercise your fighting spirit and become an official legionnaire, in addition to getting the future cultivation method of fighting spirit, you can also receive a generous military salary on a monthly basis.
It can be said that the military is the easiest way for every teenager to change his or her fate, so every teenager will try to grasp the opportunity of these three years.
"Uncle Barker, I'm an adult at sixteen, can I join the army too?" For the military, Gavin has the same enthusiasm and desire as most people.
"Haha...... Although it is the law of the kingdom that adult teenagers join the army, it is only for ordinary people, and the children of nobles are not included. ”
"Then if the children of the nobles don't join the army, where should they go to cultivate?" Gavin couldn't help but ask with some regret. (To be continued......)
