Chapter 378: Prelude to the Legend
The pure and immaculate soul stone was filled with black, like an obsidian crystal.
Wren took it to his eyes and looked at it, revealing the face of a vicious Beamon beast, ten elements roaming like light and shadow in the depths of the demon's core.
Iron Body, Beamon Claws, Level 8 Strength, Berserk
"It's done. ”
Wren had a smile on his face.
The wind in the sky descended and changed back to the appearance of the black horn of the minotaur, his face was incredulous, but more of a reverence for Wren.
An adult Beamon Behemoth, the Beamon Behemoth with the King of Land Battles, was torn apart by Wren's bare hands
And Wren didn't look effortless at all, the huge and hard body of the Beamon Behemoth, as fragile as tofu in his hand, broke with a pull.
How much power is needed for this
It's no wonder that when he was able to transform into the Ancient Tree of War, he shattered his arm with a hammer and replaced it with the true body of the black dragon, and the end was definitely worse than that of the Beamon Behemoth.
Aegon didn't dare to think about it any further.
He complimented and said, "Congratulations, Lord Earl, the Demon Soul of the Behemoth Beast is extremely valuable, and it is even more sought-after than the Giant Dragon, and it can be sold for at least 500,000 gold shields." ”
Wren put away the soul stone and said with a smile, "I didn't plan to sell it. ”
He was in a very happy mood, and the Behemoth was easier to kill than he thought. I thought it was going to have a melee fight, but it only smashed a hammer and caused heavy damage, and there was no direct contact at all, so it was not given a chance to play its melee advantage.
The strongest attack of the Beamon Behemoth, its claws, did not touch the enemy from head to tail.
Wren also knows a lot about the body of steel, and the lightning spell and the activated metal have restrained it to death, and it can be said that he died a very aggrieved death.
When Aegon heard Wren say that he would not sell demon souls, he immediately guessed the purpose, and he didn't ask again.
He walked up to the Beamon Behemoth, looked at the corpse that looked like a small mountain, especially the two thick arms, and said, "My lord, the most valuable thing on the Behemoth is its claws, which are very rare alchemy materials that can be made into the most top-notch weapons. ”
Wren nodded, touching the claws of the Beamon Behemoth.
The metallic touch worked immediately, suggesting that the claws of the Beamon Behemoth were also a type of metal.
However, from the induction, the metal components in the claws do not account for the majority, only about one-third, and the rest of the components are bone, fused with metal to form a strange alloy, with extremely high hardness and toughness, which is unprecedented, so the claw blade will be so sharp.
In addition, this alloy also has a partial demon-breaking effect, which is comparable to the average purity of anti-magic metal.
The most important thing is that it is not very dense, only slightly heavier than steel.
"What a magical metal"
Wren secretly admired that if the formula of such an alloy with excellent performance can be studied and a large number of synthesizes can be carried out, it may be applied on a large scale. He wasn't too sure, the main body of the claw was bone, and neither activated metal nor metal touch would work on bone.
The Beamon Behemoth has six sharp claws, each over a meter long and weighing hundreds of pounds.
Because it was dead, recovering from a body of steel to flesh, it took Wren more effort to remove the claws.
Then make room in the ring and stuff it in.
The rest of the Behemoth Beast was also worth a lot of money, such as its fangs and fur, which were also excellent magic resistance materials, but the ring really couldn't hold it, so it had to give it up.
The corpse was thrown in the forest, and in less than two days it would be eaten by wild beasts to the point that there was no residue left.
"It's a pity. Wren shook his head.
Aegon also looked regretful, but his space equipment couldn't fit anything, and he reluctantly turned into an ethereal griffin and took off with Wren.
Although the speed of the ethereal griffin was not as fast as that of Feng Peng, it was victorious in its whereabouts, and the next day it successfully flew out of Wansong Ridge and entered the territory of the Balhi Sea Kingdom.
Faced with the sea breeze blowing, Wren returned to the city of Hightock.
The steel ring given to Emilys had metal markings, and she was in the middle of the city, in Valogen's estate.
The ethereal griffin landed on the lawn of the manor, and only then did it come to light.
"Who are you" The guards of the manor were startled by the sudden appearance of Wren and Aegon, and shouted loudly, which immediately alarmed the entire villa. Most of them hadn't seen Wren, and one or two had seen it, because they hadn't recognized it for a long time.
An arbitrary door opened, and the wealthy businessman-like Rowagan walked out of it, saw Wren, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lord Earl"
Then he waved his hand at the guards, "All stand down." ”
Wren nodded to Emilys' number one strategist, and before he could speak, Emilys's figure also hurried out and said in surprise: "Wren, you are finally back." ”
By her side, the two dragons of Galadros and Sindara, as well as the legendary swordsman Astan, the demon sorcerer Din Raj, and the core figures of the Drogonburg family's restoration were all present.
It seems that they are gathering to discuss.
Everyone had a look of concern on their faces, even the normally indifferent Astan.
Wren knew what they were thinking, they had been separated in the deep swamp and hadn't come back for so long, apparently they thought something had happened to them. Without herself, Emilys and the Wezeland Floating City would have lost their bonds, and the restoration plan would have been a failure.
"Your Excellency, it's great to see you back. Valogen said heartily.
Others nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your concern. Wren, regardless of their purpose, at least the concern was genuine, explaining: "There was something on the way back, so it was delayed for a few days and everyone waited for a long time. ”
Emily's eyes were full of joy, "If only you could come back." ”
After they returned to Hightock, they didn't wait for Wren to show up for a long time, and they were all anxious. A few days later, news came from the northern prairie that the airship of Pallas Floating City had been robbed and killed, and the time of the incident coincided with the days when Wren left, which made her suspicious.
Emilys didn't dare to mention it, and kept the two dragons tight-lipped.
But Wren never returned, and it was not a way to wait.
Emilys consulted with her subordinates and was about to send someone to investigate the deep swamp, even to report to Wizeland, when Wren appeared.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the black dragon next to Wren, and said happily: "Master Blackhorn, welcome to Hightock." ”
Valogen and the others knew that this minotaur was actually a black dragon, and had signed a dragon oath with Emilys, and they all regarded him as their own dragon, and they all greeted him one after another to show their kindness.
Galadelos and Sindara, on the other hand, didn't seem so happy.
"Hmph, I thought you weren't coming back. ”
The red bronze dragon shook his head, his face showed regret, and Sindara next to him also looked at him coldly.
The black dragon was immediately poked at the pain point, and sneered: "Why do you want me to die, and then embezzle my treasure"
"I didn't mean that, don't think about it. Galadros immediately denied it.
"It's better to be so. "The minotaur's face was ugly.
On his way to Hightok, he repeatedly discussed with Wren how to get his treasure back. Now he doesn't have enough space equipment in his hand, and he doesn't feel at ease when he puts it elsewhere, so he can't keep it all the time, and he doesn't know what to do with it for a while.
The volume of more than six million gold coins is too large, and it is difficult to find space equipment that can accommodate it.
The black dragon has only collected a few pieces over the years, and can only fit a small part.
Wren proposed to deposit it in the Imperial Bank, and most of it was exchanged for gold bills, but the black dragon could not accept the real gold exchanged for banknotes, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, the black dragon finally came up with an idea, to store the treasure in the floating city of Wezeland, but not in the bank of the floating city, but in Wren's room in the tower.
This surprised Wren that the black dragon trusted him so much.
"Lord Earl is the only person I can trust at the moment. These were Aegon's exact words, and Wren didn't know if it was his true words, or if the Great Druid Amulet had sensed something and made such a decision, but he agreed.
Wren looked at the silent Emilys, and couldn't help but sigh, he was really right.
The color of her soul changed, and she was in a state of flux, undoubtedly thinking about the treasure of the black dragon, but she had not yet made up her mind.
"Lord Earl, Master of the Black Horn, please come in. ”
Everyone was invited into the villa, sat in the living room for a while, and then dispersed.
Wren returned to the upstairs room, and as soon as he closed the door, Emilys hugged him from behind, put her face against his back, and whispered: "Wren, you don't know how worried I am, I haven't slept well these days, I'm afraid something will happen to you." ”
"You have to have faith in me. Wren turned around and took her into his arms.
"That's the High Grail Knight, and the Silver Dragon" Emily frowned, a worried expression, as she spoke, she looked at the face of Wren who was close at hand, and suddenly stood on tiptoe to put her lips together, and then found herself being hugged horizontally.
Wren was suddenly stirred up by the fire, and did a very happy exercise.
After the excitement, he asked about Congatro.
Valogen's plan worked.
Last month, in just a few days, everyone in the entire continent of Congatro, from nobles to commoners, knew that King Marc had a green head on his head, and his three children were all wild seeds born to the queen and his brother**. After three days of hiding, Marc found out the facts, and immediately announced the abolition of the title of queen and the imprison of her and her three children.
Marke's plan was to wash away his shame by a trial seven days later, with the former queen and three wild seeds executed.
But the day before the trial, both the queen and the child were saved.
The shot was none other than Congartro's prime minister, the queen's father, the Duke of Dans. The duke escorted his daughter and three grandsons back to the realm, and then sent messengers to intercede with the king, offering his resignation and a large amount of compensation.
Marc killed the messenger without listening to the conditions, and ordered the Duke of Danse to hand over the queen and the three wild seeds within seven days, otherwise the Duke's family would be wiped out.
This order was also denied.
King Marc did not wait seven days for the Dans family to rebel and raise an army.
Duke Danse has been the former prime minister for decades, operating secretly, and the power in his hands is no less than that of the king, and the scale of the family's private army is extremely large.
Congatro currently has six major families, supported by two families each of the King and the Duke of Danse, splitting into two camps, and the entire continent is plunged into this civil war.
For a while, it is not possible to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Emilys, Valogen and the others all thought that they could wait a little longer, and were not in a hurry to land, and when the strength of the six major families was almost consumed in the civil war, they took advantage of the fisherman's profits and suddenly attacked Congatro and took it in one fell swoop.
The civil war has just begun, and it may last for a few months, and it will take another month for Emilys to gather troops, so it will not be done in a month.
After thinking about it, Wren also felt that there was no problem.
He leaned against the head of the bed and said casually, "It's enough to have you here in Hightok, and tomorrow I'll go back to Mordu, and let Galadros and Aegon come with me, and store Aegon's treasures in Wezeland, which is his own will." ”
Emilys couldn't help but be stunned, her face was a little hesitant, "I'm going to discuss it with Galadelos." ”
"There's nothing to discuss, he has to come with me. Wren looked at her seriously, "Emilys, you don't lack those millions of gold shields, compared to the throne of Congatro, you should be able to distinguish which is light and which is heavy, don't do stupid things." ”
Emily was silent for a while, but finally didn't dare to object, "I see. ”
Wren didn't speak again, but the Soul Eye saw that Emilys's mood was not high, and he was obviously still a little reluctant.
Aegon was right, it wasn't easy to get a dragon to spit out the treasure in its mouth.
Fortunately, Emilys is not too greedy, and there is still a difference between her and the real dragon, but she was blinded by the treasure for a while, and she has a higher pursuit, so she has not completely lost her mind.
Otherwise, she would not have paid such a high price to Wezeland for the restoration of the country.
The next morning, Wren announced his decision.
"I'm going to Mordu too," Galadros was astonished, and immediately knew that this was to return himself to the treasure. He himself is a good dragon who keeps his promises, but out of the nature of dragons, he is a little reluctant to give up such a huge treasure, but Wren is resolute, and Emilys also supports it, so he can only agree.
Sindara pursed her lips with a cold expression, but did not object.
"Let's go. ”
At Wren's order, Aegon happily transformed into an ethereal griffin and flew out of Hightok with Wren and Galadros.
Before leaving, he did not forget to take back some of his treasure from Emilys.
Wren had come to Hightok by boat, and it would take ten days at the earliest, and now he decided to go back in a different way.
The ethereal griffin flew southwest for half a day, into the northeastern province of the empire, and flew for a few more hours to reach Sunset City.
Sunset City is the largest of the three northeastern provinces of the Empire, and is home to a Holy Soul wizard named Grand Sage of Congerald.
Congerald is the second-oldest Holy Soul Wizard in the High Council, and his most famous achievement is the invention of the Soul Stone, so he is revered as the greatest alchemist of all time, and founded and led the Imperial Alchemy Society, so he is given the title of "Great Sage".
Wren rode on the back of an ethereal griffin and saw a massive city from afar, as well as a floating city suspended high in the air.
It was the Floating City of Ain of the Grand Sage of Congerald.
He didn't come to visit the Holy Soul Wizard, he was just passing by, and the Imperial Sky Travel Agency had set up a public teleportation array in Sunset City, so that he could return to Mordu immediately.
Entering Sunset City, Wren had no intention of watching the scenery in the city, and took the two dragons straight to the teleportation array, paid for the teleportation, and returned to Modu, which had been absent for more than a month. Both dragons were visiting the world's largest trading capital for the first time, looking around curiously.
Wren bought a soul potion from the alchemy shop on the side of the road, then opened the portal and appeared in the halls of his castle.
"Boss. The two Ultramarines saluted loudly.
The servants of the castle also came up to meet them, and they all shouted, "Lord Count." ”
When Fabian and Sicarius, the stewards of the wind elves, heard the news, Wren threw the two dragons to entertain them, told the Ultramarines to stand guard outside the door, and ordered no one to disturb them, and entered the meditation room.
Everything was ready to be promoted to Legend, and he couldn't wait.
