Chapter 164: Changes in Nadankaiwa
A pillar was mistaken for an ancient god of the godslayer......
It's a joke of the century, but the more Erica thinks about it, the more suspicious she becomes, because the guy never confirms his identity head-on.
And he has never answered this question positively, and even the Greenwich Sage Council wanted to visit his door, but he was directly refused. At the time, I didn't think there was anything wrong, but now the more I think about it, the more suspicious the blonde girl feels.
Even if you discover this secret, you can't seem to change anything.
It's like the "King of Swords", who is probably also aware of this truth, but he will not waver in any way, because for that man, he doesn't care whether his enemies and friends are gods or demon kings.
All he needed was a level of existence that could give him a reason to swing his sword and a goal that would allow him to move forward.
Other than that, nothing else matters.
Erica was actually the same, she was shocked at first when she discovered the secret, but now she realizes that she doesn't really need to care at all, and it doesn't change anything fundamental.
Demon kings and gods...... Is the difference really big? It's all monsters anyway.
She was just a little entangled, what did this person want to do to reconstruct her own "sky"? Everything he does looks like this, opening up his own divine domain and governing everything under his jurisdiction.
And magicians and magic forces like themselves are like people in ancient times, and they pay tribute to the gods who rule the heavens.
- She naturally and selectively forgot that she actually sent it to the door in the first place, not only did she pack and send her entire red bronze black cross over, but even she belonged to the other party.
As the time passed, the feeling of cold became more and more prevalent.
Rao is Erica couldn't bear it anymore, shivered fiercely, and then turned around decisively and left.
This is already the limit, if ordinary people enter here without any protective measures, in this rich aura of death, it will not take half a second to be transformed into a necromancy.
Then, unconditionally, become the master of this breath of death, a marionette in the hands of some god of the underworld.
"Knighted Title...... It's still a little short, try to break through the ...... this month"
Erica, who had left the Grand Temple quickly, felt that the symptoms of discomfort in her body were rapidly subsided, and then sighed.
She is now the leader of the Great Knight rank, but she is still a little short of being able to break through to the level of Titled Knight, which is a concept proposed by that guy, which has recently been widely accepted by the southern European magic community, and has become the goal of many knights.
Of course, the same is true for many magicians, after all, the path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is not such a rare choice, but very few people can have talent and aptitude in both aspects, and make the progress of cultivation go hand in hand.
Most of them have reached the level of specialization on the one hand, and part-time work on the other, and the shackles of time, energy, resources, and so on are not enough for them to improve their cultivation progress in both directions at the same time.
However, there are still many part-time crappy knights, and even magicians who don't even have the title of official knight, have started the road of sprinting to the title of knight.
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the magician's profession has not been updated, and I don't know if it will be updated, but the king has made it clear that after becoming a knight, you can get the gift of divinity.
This was the only chance they had to move forward and get a glimpse of the mysteries of the higher levels, so no matter who they were, they could only bite the bullet and rush to the knight's route.
In fact, with Erica's current status, it is very simple to break through that level, because she is not far from that concept, and she can break that barrier through external help.
But the girl didn't want to do this, she kept holding her breath in her heart, wanting to prove herself.
Just like the title "Crimson Demon", if she hadn't worked hard before, this title would have been taken away from her and would not have fallen on her head.
And after she made the decisive decision to swear allegiance to the current king and become the king's guardian knight, no one had any objection to the title being inherited by her.
But Erica doesn't feel that she has won this title in this way, which is a decent proof of her strength, so she hopes to prove it in other ways...... For example, relying on your own efforts to become a knight.
Then, when he received the title bestowed by the king, he inherited the title of "Crimson Demon" with dignity.
……
……
Nadan Keva, in the language of the forest elves, means abundance.
In this era, the term refers more to a tribe of forest elves located on the edge of the eastern forest, or a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands.
Because it is on the edge of the forest, it is also the closest tribe to the border of a human kingdom, and the nearest human town is only a little more than two days away from the tribe, which is why the human slave catchers repeatedly invade their tribe.
But recently, Nadankewa has changed a little bit more -
From the beginning, the son of the leader disappeared, and the tribesmen searched for it to no avail, but after one night, the son of the leader came back with the tribe's Needham, I don't know what I had experienced, and I lost my soul.
This is where it all began.
Immediately afterward, the two told a story that seemed to be a fantasy, saying that the previous group of human liars who had deceived the tribe of a large amount of supplies had returned, and that they had occupied the abandoned area of the Misty Glades, and seemed to have plans to build a city there.
This makes people a little panicked, although the Misty Woodland does not belong to any tribe, and the forest elves do not have the idea of staking land, and do not feel that an area that has long been abandoned belongs to their own sacrosanct territory.
But any elf would be worried that after all, humans are greedy creatures who have actually begun to invade the forest, and who knows what they will do next.
What's more, the human forces this time seem to be a bit abnormal, they have mastered a large number of advanced technologies, have a mountain of various materials, the soldiers under their command are well-trained and strong, and they seem to have mastered the ability to drive powerful monsters......
It's a powerful being, and if you become an enemy, it will be very terrifying.
The tribe did not delay, and sent several groups of excellent scouts in succession, and the feedback received was the same - unmatched, unprecedented, and incomprehensible.
Perhaps the humans only need to send out the winged and unknown horror monsters they drive to destroy all of Nadankeva. That kind of monster may be an ancient species, which has never been seen before, and it is not something that ordinary people can fight against at all.
Based on the unified feelings of the scouts with keen perceptions, it was concluded that perhaps only the powerhouses of the Legendary Rank would be able to fight alone against the monster known to the humans as the "Lothric Wyvern".
However, the powerhouse of the legendary rank is not a cabbage, and there are four heads of this monster on the opposite side, which is simply terrifying.
The Nadankaiwa tribe alone is an enemy that is impossible to fight, so it will have to find another way. Fortunately, it seems that the other party does not have any unreasonable plans to invade directly, but still abides by the previous trade treaty.
Originally, the patriarch didn't believe it at first, but he had to send someone over to test it and find out the other party's intentions.
As a result, not only was there no danger, but the people sent out really brought back a truckload full of grain, steel, and cloth...... And so on and so forth, even the vehicles carrying the supplies were provided from the other side, which completely detonated the emotions of everyone in the tribe.
Everyone wants a better life, and although the situation of the forest elves is not like that of humans or the barbarians of the north, they can often starve to death, but life is also tight.
And now that they found out that the excess furs and herbs in their tribe, the raw ore that was of little significance to the elves, were so valuable, and the other side did recognize that value, they naturally couldn't hold it back.
This is not an enemy to rob while the fire is on fire!
This is an ally in the snow!
As for why they have the illusion that their "currency" is valuable, it can only be said that it is because their current goal is still to focus on the most basic materials, and when they directly buy those valuable finished products, they will find that the money is not enough.
Moreover, the contrast in productivity between the two sides is too great, and all the elves of the entire tribe of Nadankaiva, who have worked hard for several years, do not add up to enough to see. The magicians only need to find a random steel mill on the other side of the earth, and it doesn't take half a week's production to offset it.
When the forest elves are rapidly depleting their old capital, and no matter how much they rely on manpower to hunt and gather, it is only a drop in the bucket, they will find that they have no way out.
It is difficult to live from luxury, not to mention when they have to pursue those high-end products further, and their only way out is to make a breakthrough with other tribes and even to the human kingdom.
Become a middleman and make the difference...... Of course, there is another way, robbing, but if you are not stupid, you should know how to choose.
And so—
In just half a month, everything is like a dream, and Nadankaiwa has undergone earth-shaking changes.
From cautious temptation to relaxation and trade, this road simply cannot be stopped. Just as beggars suddenly gain millions of dollars and end up spending extravagantly, they are also worried about the depreciation of their "currency".
After all, how valuable can those unrefined ores and the skins of low-level monsters be? Maybe the other party just made a mistake for a while, and then came to his senses?
So, of course, we have to take advantage of the current situation to turn these things into real valuable things as soon as possible, such as food, such as steel, and those products that the human countries have been blocking from the forest elves.
Those well-made, extremely high-quality equipment are obviously just standard weapons and not magic weapons created by some master, but the quality is ridiculously high.
It is stronger than steel, has a good balance of weight and performance, and the weapon is extremely sharp, and the armor such as the shield has a variety of good functions such as fire prevention, anti-electricity, and anti-toxin.
It's not magic equipment, but the quality is very close, and it's all standard standards, and the quantity is not limited...... It's just that when the Nadankaiwa tribe felt that they had enough in terms of food and steel, they could start purchasing more high-end products.
However, they found that their tribe had little savings left, and the pricing of those high-end products and materials such as grain and steel were not of the same order of magnitude at all.
Especially when it was discovered, that strange human force not only had all kinds of sophisticated weapons and equipment at its disposal, but also real magic equipment, magic potions, and specific combat skills and secret arts.
Even when it included all kinds of things such as alchemy, potions, and even more precious mystical knowledge and books, they deeply felt the pain of having no money.
Griffin, the leader's son, is perhaps the last to be aware of the changes in the tribe, for since he came back he seems to be a different person, hard enough to work hard before, and now he is working harder.
I can't wait to sleep only three hours a day, and the rest of the time I don't even need to eat, all of which is spent on all kinds of hard combat training.
He was unwilling, completely unwilling, and some kind of inexplicable but hateful motivating motivating him to move forward desperately.
He wanted to defeat the figure of the blonde girl who was getting clearer and deeper in his mind, to regain his dignity and prove it to her...... Wait, what's the proof?
That's right, prove yourself to live up to Nadankewa's name!
That's what the forest elf thinks, at least, that's what he thinks he is.
