Chapter 33: Breaking the Deadlock
After more than a month of remodeling, Mark's stone house is becoming more and more like a laboratory.
"In this world, there is no difference between magicians and scientists from other worlds, they both explore the world through research and understand the nature and principles of the world."
Mark is becoming more and more fond of the mage profession, which is clearly more intelligent than a warrior. Moreover, the pursuit of the truth of the world is a challenging task in itself, and it is also a task with almost no end in sight!
"In the last world, the biggest gain was not to make myself a magician, but to learn the research methods of technological civilization. Sure enough, civilization is the greatest wealth of different worlds! ”
Mark studied in the world of science and technology for a few months and basically mastered the methods of modern scientific research. Combined with the magician research methods left behind by his predecessor, after the combination of the two, Mark gained greatly!
"There is an unknown powerful energy in Ewen's blood, it seems that I guessed correctly before, Evan's bloodline is unusual."
A little over a month ago, Mark noticed that Evan was abnormally increasing in height and strength, so he collected his blood for study. After various analyses, Mark finally stripped out the special part of his blood, and this part of the blood contained the energy component that Mark now had difficulty understanding.
This makes Mark feel absurd, could it be that Evan is the protagonist of this world?
"For the past ten years, Evan has not shown anything special, and when the talent test was conducted, he did not even have basic warrior talent. Unexpectedly, after only a few months of coming out with me, he actually awakened a special bloodline. ”
Mark thinks of the legends and stories of this world, and Evan seems to be the template of the protagonist in these legends, from a humble background, very ordinary when he was a child, and then awakened his talent, and since then he has risen all the way, suppressed an era, and finally became a god, becoming a legend for thousands of years.
"Hehe......" Mark laughed out loud at the thought that the fat man would have such an achievement, and the contrast between the front and back was too great.
After thinking about it, Mark put Evan's blood aside and picked up the test tube containing Morey's blood.
"Morey is also a special bloodline, but the power contained in his blood is very violent, and with my current methods, it can't be stripped at all. However, it also confirms my judgment of him. ”
Mark was not surprised by Morey's blood, he had long recognized that Morey was no ordinary person. In the barren town of Red Woods, Morey, without any training or nutritional supplements, actually surpassed Evin's strength at the age of twelve or thirteen, which was obviously unusual. Later events confirmed this, after systematic training, Morey's strength increased rapidly, and just after the age of thirteen, he had a strength of nine hundred kilograms, which was even stronger than Pierce, who was in his thirties!
"These two subordinates can be cultivated well. However, I don't even have the resources to cultivate myself now, so how can I cultivate them? ”
Thinking of the cultivation resources, Mark summoned the Star Gate again.
"Since returning from the previous world, the stargate has not moved, and I don't know what happened. However, I have a feeling that it will come back sooner or later. ”
Mark felt his connection to Stargate growing, especially since he returned to the wizarding world. Stargate seemed to be merging with his spiritual power, and the feeling of this fusion was very peculiar, and Mark himself couldn't tell. Perhaps when the fusion is over, the secrets of the stargate will be open to Mark.
There are more and more refugees from the East, and more than 1,300 people have gathered outside Honglin Town alone. From these refugees, Mark learned of the invasion of the Gutis.
The Gutis are the rulers of a continent to the east of the Roman Continent, which is called the Barbarian Elephant Continent. The Gutilis and the Romancers were two different races with wide ears, a foot-long nose, and bulging fangs. The Gurtis have thick limbs and great strength, and the adult Gurtis have a strength of more than a thousand kilograms.
In addition to the Gutis, there are many other strange and ferocious races in the Barbarian Elephant Continent, which the Roman Empire collectively refers to as orcs, and the Barbarian Elephant Continent is also called the Orc Continent by them.
"What the hell is going on in the Barbarian Elephant Continent?"
Mark received an aristocratic education and knew a lot about the Barbarian Elephant Continent. In the past, the Barbarian Elephant Continent would also invade the Roman Continent, but it was a small-scale attack, and such a large-scale invasion was the first time.
"Master, the orcs have invaded, and the empire will definitely recruit warriors and magicians from the Red Clay Ridge." Ewen said worriedly.
Mark nodded, and he thought about it as well.
"Well, master, you ......"
"Perhaps, this war is not necessarily a bad thing." Mark groaned.
Mark has been thinking about how to break the deadlock and gain cultivation resources recently. In Redwoods, Mark is almost locked up by Horner: to the west, Horner has bought off Viscount Kebby; To the south, the Bahrain family will not help Horner, but they will not help Mark either; To the north, that was the heart of the Empire's rule, and where Horner was able to influence.
As for the east, it is the Guluo Sea, and at the other end of the Guluo Sea is the Barbarian Elephant Continent.
"Horner really worked hard to seal me in Honglin Town in the first place." Every time he thought about it, Mark sighed at Horner's methods. Although he hadn't met Horner himself, he was undoubtedly a hero.
"With the war, the coastal area in the east will definitely be destroyed, and the strength around Honglin Town will also be reshuffled, and this is my chance!"
What Mark wanted to calculate the most was Viscount Kebby in the west, but unfortunately, his Red Forest Town stood in front of Kebbi City and became a barrier for the other party. Moreover, it is more than 300 miles from the coast, and the Gutis may not be able to fight here.
"No, the Gutis must fight here!"
The closest city to Red Clay Ridge is Yonghui City to the north, where the Glorious Legion, the regular legion of the Romance Empire, is stationed. After the news of the invasion of the Gutis spread, Fairman, the lord of Yonghui City, and Lolot, the leader of the Radiant Legion, also made some arrangements. However, they didn't take the Guthis people to heart, and Yonghui City was not affected in the slightest.
Just when everyone didn't expect it, the Gutis had already entered the Roman Continent for more than two hundred miles, and besides, they didn't seem to have stopped yet.
"Master, those orcs are less than a hundred miles away from Honglin Town, let's prepare early!" After learning the news, Evan crawled to find Mark. In the propaganda of the Romance Empire, the Gutis were no different from the devil, and even if he heard the news, Evan was terrified.
"What are you in a hurry...... Mark looked at Evan's appearance and shook his head secretly, as far as his performance is concerned, where does he look like a legendary hero?
"The empire should have reacted now. Although the Red Clay Ridge is desolate, there are also many mineral deposits, and there are millions of people, and if the Gutis are allowed to destroy it, the loss of the empire is not small. Mark said in his heart.
Mark's judgment was very accurate, and on the same day, Lolote transferred a thousand cavalry to Panyan Mountain. Panyan Mountain is a mountain in the east of the Red Clay Ridge, where the gray-headed swallow is entrenched all year round, hence the name.
The cavalry of the Glorious Legion went to Panyan Mountain, passing by Honglin Town. A thousand horsemen on golden-striped wildebeest roared past, and the momentum made Mark lose his voice.
"The way of a mage is certainly stronger than that of warriors and knights, but warriors and knights are not without merit. Such a cavalry, once it charges, the fourth-level magic may not be able to stop it. ”
The speed of the golden-veined wildebeest was very fast, and in less than half an hour, a thousand cavalry arrived at Panyan Mountain and began to build fortifications. At this time, the Guthis were still thirty miles away.
"Yonghui City has not issued a summoning order, and it seems that they think that with the Legion of Radiance, they can easily deal with the Gutis. But I have a hunch that this invasion by the Gutis is very unusual, and the plans of Yonghui City will definitely fall through! ”
Thinking that there was a big battle a hundred miles away, Mark didn't have the heart to experiment with magic. He meditated while waiting for the outcome of the battle at Panyan Mountain.
In the evening of the same day, four or five cavalrymen fled from the east in a hurry, and judging by their outfits, it was the Glorious Legion that passed by Honglin Town in the morning!
"Sure enough, I lost, and I lost so badly, so quickly......"
Watching the cavalry flee to Yonghui City, Mark couldn't help but clench his magic staff. The Radiant Legion has more than 10,000 cavalry, and this time it lost more than 1,000, and the commander of the Radiant Legion, Lolot, will definitely not give up. Next, a larger war is just around the corner!
What's more, since the Gutis people have passed Panyan Mountain, it is very likely that they will continue to the west!
"Morey, go get Pierce." Mark said.
Soon, Pierce and Morey arrived.
"The Gutis are coming, pack up and get ready to leave!" Mark said.
Pierce was not surprised: "My lord, do you want to inform Mayor Hoods?" ”
"No, you don't." Mark said indifferently.
"Not really?" Pierce and Morey looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Okay, don't ask so much, take your family, don't alarm the others, and leave tonight!" Mark said.
Morey and Pierce wanted to say something more, but seeing Mark's face, they took it back. After two or three months of getting along, they already have a better understanding of Mark's character.
"Could it be that the lord wants to leave behind the people of Honglin Town, as well as those refugees outside?" Pierce sighed in his heart, he grew up in Redwoods, so naturally he didn't want to see this scene. However, he didn't have the guts to let Pierce disobey Mark's orders. Thinking about Ronald and the others who were burned to death, Pierce was chilled.
Mark told Evan to pack his things and head back to the stone house. He stood on the roof with his eyes looking east.
"The Gutis are murderous, and if I want to guide them west, I need some bait."
