Chapter 39: The Awakened

After the battle, Hammer sat alone and wiped his weapon, and in this battle he knocked out nearly half of his magazine.

The two battles lasted about half an hour in total, and nearly 300 robbers were killed, 95 percent of whom were shot with hammers and firearms.

The convoy lost four giant beasts pulling the cart, and the carriage was almost completely destroyed, two of the fighters in the team were killed, one was seriously wounded, and the rest were more or less slightly wounded.

After the war, everyone was busy, and they still needed to continue to deliver goods, but the means of transportation were completely unusable, and everyone was picking up important goods and preparing to transport them back on foot.

The hammer didn't want to stay any longer after wiping the gun, he put the two spears behind his back and prepared to leave.

Seeing that the hammer got up and was about to leave, the young man in the convoy spoke hurriedly:

"Brother Blacksmith, we want to hire you to protect our goods, do you think about it?"

"Not interested." After a brief reply, Hammer turned and walked west.

"Are you going to the west too? Coincidentally, so are we, and we can take care of each other when we travel together, and we can get a high reward. The young man continued.

Hammer did not reply, still walking into the distance.

Watching the hammer go farther and farther, the young man put down what he was doing and hurried to catch up, "Brother Blacksmith, we really need you, there are too many robbers and bandits along the way, and we may all die on the road without your mutual send-off." ”

There are a lot of robbers! The hammer grasped the key word in the young man's mouth, and he stopped and asked:

"Have you encountered many robbers along the way?"

Seeing that the hammer had stopped, the young man was overjoyed, and he replied truthfully:

"Yes, we have already encountered 4 waves of bandits, and we have encountered squads of more than a dozen people before, and we can handle it, but now the more we go forward, the more bandit gangs we encounter, and we have lost 7 fighters so far."

After listening to the young man's description, Hammer thought that this was not bad, a convoy could attract a large number of robbers, which was much more efficient than his search around.

With this in mind, Hammer spoke:

"Okay, I'll escort you."

"Great, thank you very much." After the young man thanked him sincerely, he turned his head and shouted excitedly to the crowd:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this good warrior has accepted our employment, and he will no longer have to fear robbers."

Iron Hammer touched his nose a little embarrassed when he heard the young man actually call himself that, and then immediately nodded to everyone with a serious face, agreeing with the young man's statement.

At this time, the young man did not know that Hammer decided to join them because he heard that there were many robbers along the way, and he naively thought that Hammer was a person with a very sense of justice, and he decided to help them after hearing their tragic experience.

In the following time, after a long time of tidying up the scene, they abandoned a lot of goods, only brought the necessary goods and key materials and prepared to set off again.

On the way, Hammer lagged alone at the back of the group, he was still not used to getting too close to strangers, not to mention that this ten-person team actually had people of three races.

"Master, are you a ranger from Sebastan?"

The hammer, which was thinking about the problem, was interrupted by a voice, and he looked up to see the young man in the group standing beside him and looking at him curiously, and there was no third person around.

Hammer said suspiciously:

"Are you talking to me?"

"yes, I see that the weapon you use is very similar to the Awakened gear in Sebastan." The young man replied.

Iron Hammer was slightly stunned, did the other party say a gun? Also, what an Awakened is?

"What are you talking about the Awoken?" Hammer asked curiously.

Hearing the question of the hammer, the young man was very surprised, such a powerful person did not know the Awakened.

The young man raised his right hand, and immediately a string of blue-white electric light emitted from his hand, and a small metal ball shuttled through the electric light.

After the display, the young man spoke:

"The Awakened are people like me who can freely manipulate crystal energy."

Iron Hammer was startled, he had heard of this kind of people, they were all very terrifying existences, and then Iron Hammer said self-deprecatingly:

"I'm not, I haven't fused crystals, I'm not even a warrior."

"No, it won't! So how do you manipulate your weapon to emit flames to kill enemies? The young man asked in surprise.

The upright hammer had not yet seen the sinister hearts of the outside world, so he explained the structure and principle of his weapon.

The young man was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't understand what the hammer was talking about, such as chamber pressure, kinetic energy, and thermal expansion...... Something like that.

They talked a lot along the way, and Hammer learned the young man's name, Karl, who was an awakened man from the Ryan Kingdom, a second-level warrior and a genius boy with a second-level psionic double rest.

Hammer learned from Karl that the Three Western Kingdoms had mastered several ways to use crystals twenty years ago.

He knew that the basic passive absorption was divided into 6 levels, and this method of ascension was not only very crystal-consuming, but also extremely poor, as long as it was piled up, everyone could become a level 6 warrior.

Becoming a warrior is the most efficient and useless, the warrior level can only determine the lower limit of a person's physique, and psionic manipulation is an ability without an upper limit.

The strength of the Awakened is determined by the amount of crystal psionic energy they can control, and they can convert the Crystal Psionic into various forms against enemies, such as thunder and lightning, flames, etc., and each Awakened has their own areas of expertise.

The specific operation method is that the awakened person carries the crystal, and then allows the crystal energy to be converted into another material form through his body, and then released.

The understanding of the hammer is that the awakened is equal to a firearm, and the crystal is equal to a magazine, and the awakened person attacks the enemy by activating the crystal, and the awakened person without the crystal is equal to a firearm without bullets.

He also learned that energy conversion is very dangerous, and that crystal energy must not be allowed to remain in his body or affect his body during the conversion process, and only those who can perfectly convert energy can be called awakened.

If crystal psionic energy remains in your body during the conversion process, they will release energy inside your body, and in most cases those who fail to convert will be killed by their own energy.

Some extreme warriors will forcibly absorb crystal energy to achieve a short-term increase in strength, speed, and ability, but these warriors will all die quickly without exception.

However, people in all three countries had heard the rumor that on another continent further west, there was a race that had thoroughly mastered the method of absorbing crystal energy.

They use crystals to completely transform their bodies and become extremely powerful, and they can also store crystal energy in their bodies for a long time.

In addition to crystals, they can even survive without any other energy supplements, and they have reached the point where they do not eat, drink, or grow old.

Hearing that they have completely ruled the continent and enslaved all the other races on the continent, they also call themselves noble gods.
