Chapter 16: Clive Farm
In Krom's horrified eyes, the four-winged battle angel swung his sword and slashed at him.
Krom raised his sword to block.
Rumble!
The power was crushed, and the legendary sword saint Krom was directly blasted away.
After landing, a furrow was plowed into the ground.
Chrom spat out a mouthful of old blood, rolled over, and immediately activated a spell-like skill, mirroring the clone.
The two Krom fled from different directions, one was silently pierced, and it was Angelo, who was hiding on the side, who struck.
As for the other galloping Krom.
I saw the four-winged battle angel, spreading its four wings and soaring into the sky, aiming at the galloping Krom, and falling straight down from the sky.
Boom, smoke and dust rise, and the ground cracks.
Nothing, this Krom is also a mirror image.
The air distorted, and Angelo, who had lifted the powerful stealth of the spell-like skill, appeared and said with a solemn face: "It's an invisible spell-like skill, and the spell-like skill mastered by this orc sword master is quite comprehensive." β
The four-winged battle angel turned his head and said: "When I looked at him just now, the envoy had already probed his memory a little, he has nothing to do with the forbidden matter, there is no need to trace this line further, it is better to find the wanderer as soon as possible." β
With that, the four-winged battle angel slowly shrank and eventually turned into a statue of the Holy Angel.
After Angelo respectfully put away the statue of the Holy Angel, he caught a glimpse of the beast soul order left on the ground, Angelo picked up the beast soul order after a little thought, and said secretly: Everything is normal in Aktamu City, and it seems that the only way to find the wanderer is to cooperate, but the church's cooperation with my bright forces has been delayed, and without the support of the intelligence network, I am alone to find a low-level wanderer, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack... Maybe I couldγγγγγ
γγγγγγ
The outskirts of Aktam City.
Clive Farms.
This seemingly ordinary farm is surrounded by a large number of first-order wanderers.
On a flagpole inside the farm, a shriveled head hangs, the ugly monkey Angelo couldn't find.
From the first day, Marcus Vikrant felt that the Shadow Guild was not normal, and when he led Fran Town and his party into Aktamu City with a skull ring, a wanderer stepped forward and brought them out of Aktamu City and brought them back to this extremely inconspicuous Clive farm.
Clive Farm has a hidden basement entrance that opens up to a very large underground space.
The arrangement of the underground space somewhat resembles the prayer hall of the temple.
There was a wizard here who called himself "The Mentor" who entertained Vikrant's wanderers with great hospitality, and gave each of them a bottle of Bloodline Enlightenment Potion like a cabbage.
This "mentor" also said proudly that this bloodline enlightenment potion was configured by him, and the raw materials were indeed not cheap, but fortunately, it could hold 50 bottles in a pot, and on average, a bottle and a half of Jindeler were less than that, so everyone was not polite to drink it first and then talk about other things after awakening the power of the ancestors.
This is a bloodline enlightenment potion that only temple monks can dispose, you can mix one pot at a time, so is this bloodline enlightenment potion blended?
In the midst of everyone's bewildered gazes, Vikrant was the first to drink the bloodline enlightenment potion and successfully advanced to become an Awakening Wanderer.
After seeing Vikrant's successful promotion, a group of thieves from Fran Town scolded the temple for being vampires and the monks for being bastards, and then opened the bottle cap and drank it in one gulp, and they all successfully advanced.
Then the tutor very mysteriously pulled out a tome with four large characters written on it, "Origin of the Gods" in very clumsy font.
The instructor asked the wanderers who had successfully advanced to sit down and begin to teach, telling a magnificent, bizarre and treacherous epic.
The first paragraph of the epic is shocking - "Humans have come from beyond heaven and invaded the planeγγγγγγ β
Although the content of this book "The Origin of the Gods" is very unrealistic, it still arouses Vikrant's great interest.
The author of the book recorded this "Origin of the Gods" in the first person, its author is certainly not human, when talking about human beings, they use "they" and other third people, the grammar of the epic is extremely strange, and the content of large paragraphs is narrated in the form of songs, it is very difficult to read, the epic song paragraphs, in different places will produce different meanings, Vikrant often asks the tutor for advice on this, the tutor is also tireless to guide and follow the good path, the two sides are quite a bit of learning from each other, mutual proof of the meaning.
However, other wanderers, such as the ugly monkey and the like, are petty thieves who don't know a few words, and the last thing they like to hear is these gods' chatter, even if this history involves the gods, they are not interested, the gods are too far away from them, and they just want to go to the aristocratic and rich areas of Aktamu City to try their skills after promotion.
The mentor did not approve of them leaving, and hoped that they would continue their studies and leave after learning the entire epic poem "The Origin of the Gods", and promised that he would not prevent them from leaving at that time, and would not restrict their freedom.
Many students said that the reason why they wanted to leave was not because they were ungrateful, but because they wanted to go to the temple to use the probe crystal after being promoted to see their physical attributes.
Among this group of students, Vikrant did awaken the spell-like skills, the ancestor he found in the bloodline source was the legendary dark elf, the legendary-level inhuman powerhouse has a certain chance to awaken the spell-like skills in the promotion, Vikrant was very lucky to awaken the passive spell-like spell skill "shadow hiding", as long as he stood in the shadows and did not move, there was a stealth effect, when he was familiar with his spell-like skills in Clive Farm, he accidentally found that a student in the farm wanted to sneak out, Hacked to death on the spot after being spotted by patrolling loitersγγγγγγ
This incident made Vikrant's jealousy of the Shadow Guild a little more serious.
What kind of organization is the Shadow Guild?
The bloodline enlightenment potion is given away, and the price paid by the wanderers is only to listen to the history of the mentor.
Potions and Crystals were the main sources of the Temple of Tyre, which established an unshakable position in the human world, completely above the nobility and royal power, and the mentor, who did not even want to reveal his name, was able to make potions and probe human attributes.
Vikrant decided to tempt, but of course he wouldn't take the risk himself, and he decided to instigate the ugly monkey.
Rand said to the ugly monkey, "Ugly monkey, do you say that what the instructor said is true or false?" β
The ugly monkey replied, "It doesn't matter to me whether it's true or not." β
"No, if it's true, then we have great benefits in following the guru ... The book mentions the path after the legend... In fact, if you want to verify it, it is very simple, you only need to go to the temple and use the probing crystal once to determine the truth of the teacher's wordsγγγγγ It's a pity that there is still a lot of content in the book, I don't understand it yet, and I can't leave for the time being. In the small talk, Vikrant seemed to analyze the pros and cons of the person as if talking to himself, although he did not directly instigate the ugly monkey to go to the temple to try, but it ignited the ugly monkey's curiosity.
Then the ugly monkey ran away, and strangely enough that there were no wanderers to stop him this time.
The next day, the head of the ugly monkey was picked up and hung in the middle of Clive Farm with the scarecrow.
After this incident, the mentor directly announced that the ugly monkey went to the temple to tell the secret that he was a traitor, and from today on, no one was allowed to leave Clive Farm without reciting the "Origin of the Gods", and the wanderers in ambush outside the farm were almost public, and those who dared to escape would be killed.
At this time, everyone knows that they are on the thief ship.
The tutor also changed his usual style of being a good gentleman, he lit a peculiar fragrance of incense in the basement, and began to tell the chapter content of "The Origin of the Gods", as much as you talked, you have to memorize as much as you want, when the disobedient, passive and slack students were ignited by a fireball, the enthusiasm of all the students was unprecedentedly inflated, everyone read aloud, shook their heads and recited, and scrambled to learn.
Many wanderers have been illiterate since childhood, but after this hard study, they can actually write.
The Shadow Guild's compulsory literacy effect is significant.
But Vikrant still couldn't figure out what they were trying to do.
γγγγγγ
In view of the fact that the giant snake gall bladder worth as much as 250 Kindler had the problem of expiration date, Vitruvius naturally did not wander like when he came, and he went directly to the trading house in Aktamu City to rent a carriage, and the carriage driver was actually a first-order ranger.
It only takes one day to rent a horse-drawn carriage to get to the small town of Fran and costs 3 kindlers.
Vitruvius was very satisfied and expressed hope that the payment would be delivered.
The comptoir said that he did not have Vitruvius' credit file and that he had to give a mortgage.
There was no way, Vitruvius could only take out the well-equipped tile steel shield and mortgage it in the firm,
Early the next morning, Vitruvius returned to the small town of Fran again.
Pushing open the door of the armament department, Barn was eating noodles.
Seeing Vitruvius returning, the half-swallowed noodles slid straight from Barn's mouth back into the bowl.
When Vitruvius took out the large snake gall, the whole armament department boiled.
Barn immediately pried open a rotten brick from a wall under his wooden bed, took out a broken chest, and dug out three kindlers from it for the ranger coachman of the comptoir.
When the coachman got Kindler, he told Vitruvius that he could go to the Aktam City Trading House at any time to retrieve his collateral, and then left.
Then the group of the Armament Department marched mightily, beating gongs and drums, blowing trumpets all the way, scattering flowers, and on the way to the family of Iher, they first spared the town and walked back and forth three times, shouting as they went:
"Valiant warrior, sword slashes serpent"
"Sword and glory, scorching oath"
