Chapter 34: Xiantra (1st Update)

Charles felt lucky today, and as soon as he broke his weapon in the village, he unleashed an Epic Sword from his bag.

It's a bit of a pity that this sword is an heirloom and can be given to your own trumpet, so the attribute bonus is proportional, adding 30% strength, adding 20% HP, and the "stable" effect never loses durability, so that Charles no longer has to worry about his weapon being broken. Because of the name "Favor of the Light", this weapon also comes with a Holy Light spell that can be used every five minutes to heal the living and kill the dead.

Charles is still alive, so he doesn't have to worry about being burned by the light he emitted.

Shandy hunted in the woods and caught wild sheep, so she could open meat and eat barbecue at night. Although Charles still can't get used to this woman, since what happened last time, the other party has obviously restrained a lot.

Seeing that Sophie was bought by this girl again, Charles still had to sigh that sure enough, foodies are the most single-celled creatures in the world. He remembered very well that when he said that he wanted to save Kaelsa and Sophie, the other party threw his arm and wanted to leave.

Sybil told him his fortune, and on this journey he will meet the woman who causes him trouble, and his teammates who will betray him. Charles thought about it and pointed the finger at Shanty. The woman, and with an unstable temperament, is likely to be a teammate who betrayed him.

The trees in the forest were not dense and very transparent, and the four people sitting by the fire could see the stars in the sky. The unwrapped horses sniffed around in the grass, wagging their tails this time.

"You don't have a good relationship with your brother," Charles observed from behind the steaming water in the broth, the girl was still pretty "because he's a fool?" Do you have a special reason for doing this task? ”

Shanty's hand trembled, as she was chopping the meat, and she didn't answer Charles's question.

With his eyes narrowing, Charles continued, "If you don't want to participate in this mission, you can leave now, and I will help you cover, they won't know that we have one less person on this team." ”

"No way!" Shandy spoke suddenly.

"Why?"

The girl pursed her lips and tried to say it several times, but finally sighed and grabbed the package a little sadly.

"Leaving?" Charles watched the woman ride the warhorse, but according to the previous party's dedication to the task, he didn't think that the woman would obediently find a place to nest. Instead, it's likely to be secretly hidden in Xinter, and Charles can't figure out what she's after.

Ignoring the man next to the horse, Shandy pulled the reins, and the horse neighed.

"Stay." Charles turned around and left in Shanty's surprised eyes, he knew very well that if the other party was really the woman who betrayed him, it was useless to drive her away now.

Shandy sat on the horse for a long time, her eyes almost bursting with tears, and she twisted her head to the other half of the woods, and the girl did not want others to see her.

Suddenly, she felt the back of her hand be tapped a few times, and when she turned her head, she saw Sophie standing under the horse with a roast of meat.

"This tastes very good, Sister Shandy eat more."

The girl twisted her head back again.

======================================================================================================

Xinter is the capital of Valoran, and although it is not the largest city in the human kingdom, it is a bustling commercial center. Located in the Great Plains of Swifts, Sinter occupies the main transportation route on the landing, and the water conservancy of the large river is convenient, so the degree of commerce is quite high, and the nobles are quite wealthy.

Charles stood in front of the city gate with his horses, surrounded by people who wanted to enter the city, except for the conspicuous and majestic marble hero sculptures. Charles took a cursory look at the city wall, it was at least thirty meters high, and it was impossible for ordinary people to climb into it directly.

"Sorry, it's closed today." The guards didn't look at the young man at all.

No wonder there are so many people here...... However, the mages who did the action planning were very professional and had already thought of a plan to deal with it.

"I have this." He pulled out a parchment scroll with a magic seal from his package and handed it to the guards.

The other party just wanted to say no, but when he glanced at it, he saw the stamping on the document that shimmered with a light blue light, "Southern Wizard Council? Are you the Alchemy Knight of Kastor!? ”

The Republic of Kastor is strictly a co-ruling republic between spellcasters and secular nobles, and on the entire continent, excluding the undead empire, the country with the strongest and most spellcasters is Kastor. As one of the two major wizarding organizations, the Southern Wizards Council was established in Kastor, and its chairman and the president of the Continental Wizards Mutual Aid Association have been on the same page, and the relationship has always been bad.

The Charr are now disguised as the Alchemy Knights of the Southern Council of Wizards, and as a proud work of wizards, these powerful melee units can use simple alchemy in combat. However, the knights are uneven, the powerful can easily ignite the flaming dragon on the battlefield, roast hundreds of ghouls at once, and the weak can only change the shape of their weapons. Therefore, the alchemy knights are all based on individuals, and there has never been a formed army.

But before the Paladin appeared, it was already the most powerful melee unit in humans, capable of using spell-like alchemy and possessing a strong physique.

The chief, who was yawning in the back, heard the voice of the guard, and immediately walked up and grabbed the parchment.

"It says that you are here to send spell casting materials to the wizard Theodosius?" The chief glanced at Charles, he had heard that most of the alchemy knights were middle-aged, and few young people had the skills to master the alchemy of battle, and they also possessed strong hand-to-hand combat ability.

"Yes, Theodosius was a friend of my mentor, and he ordered 'real gold for singing' from his mentor."

"Can you cast a spell? I see in your letter of introduction that you are good at alchemy related to water. "Although it was a gesture of invitation, if Charles didn't know anything, he wouldn't let this young man into the city.

Recently, a death order was issued from above, strictly prohibiting idle people from entering the city for a week, and it has only been two days, and the people who were locked up outside the city have already begun to set up tents. The ghost knows how those old men suddenly did this, not only does Xiantra's main income depend on trade, but the city gate guards also rely on this to generate income.

Therefore, the merchants, peasants, and soldiers who want to enter the city are all very painful.

Charles pointed to the ground, and a white frost instantly covered the brown earth, and the gray-white ice picks grew at a rate visible to the naked eye. The indignant crowd around them was also attracted at this moment, after all, the spellcaster was not a big road commodity that could be seen everywhere.

It was not easy for alchemists to make ice picks from the moisture in the air, as they had to understand the structure and formation of water and ice, as well as the relationship between heat.

But for Charles, it's just a concentrated release of an ice cage, and these guards don't understand it anyway. The so-called formalism kills people, and it is too easy to get by in the dark.

"Alright, you guys go in." It turned out to be true, and the captain of the guard gave Charles a second look.

With the title of Alchemy Knight at such a young age, it is estimated that his future life will be smooth sailing.

"Open the door!" As soon as the captain waved his hand, the soldiers in the front row immediately formed a semi-circle formation in front of the door to block those who tried to rush in.

There was a creaking sound behind the door, and the side door was pulled up. Like the walls, they are uniformly white, and the heavy gates are even cut out of rock. Charles looked up at the stone door as he passed by, it was a meter and a half thick, and he wondered how such a heavy door could be pulled up...... However, the siege warfare of this era is flying around with all kinds of spells, so a wooden door that can be blown up by a fireball technique is definitely not usable.

But even so, Charles felt that there were too many ways to siege the city. For example, if an alchemist has the heart, he can directly refine another door on the stone gate......

Charles and the others arrived too early, and according to the schedule, it was at least a little more than a week before they were on the mission. So during this time, Charles and his party are in a state of idleness.

The first thing to do is to find a place to stay......

Hey, this is it, 101 King Street...... It's a good location, it's the center of the city......

As soon as Charles looked up, he saw two huge stone lions, which were incompatible with the solemn and simple architectural style of the surroundings, the designated business hotel of the Empire of the Dead was extremely luxurious, all kinds of carved murals could be seen everywhere for money, and the bricks and stones on the ground were also polished to be used as mirrors.

"Are you sure you live here?" Kaelsa felt more like a casino, the room to the right of the reception hall was packed with people, and a group of dead and wealthy merchants were gathering to gamble. The mage's apprentice glanced inside, and the game those guys were playing was clearly the Hella Roulette of the Undead Empire.

"Look over there." Charles stretched out his hand and pointed to the room to the left, where a young man standing on the stage kept smashing the table with a small hammer, shouting five hundred gold coins once, five hundred gold coins twice.

Auction houses......? The corner of Kelsea's eye twitched, what the hell is this tm.

"A comprehensive entertainment club." Eventually, Charles pointed to the big sign on the roof, and it was written these words.

"That's why we're staying in this place," Charles slipped the key into Kaelsa's hand in a daze, "This is your room." ”

It's completely out of **...... Twisting Kaelsa in the direction of the room, Charles waved his hand in a dashing manner, and several beautiful waiters around him bowed to him. He didn't expect that the Undead Empire would actually invest in the capital of the enemy country, and even build such a conference hall.

But it's normal to think about it, Hela's skeletons also have to make money, and opening a store like this can also sneak up some espionage, as long as it's not exposed......

Charles watched as several knights with weak legs helped each other out of the back room, well, it seems that the human nobles like this......
