Chapter 150: Thundering Grass City
It was night, the bonfire was bright, Fang Zhen and Du Lu were eating dry food by the bonfire, and Ace was standing on a small hill watching the wind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The plains are not barren, but they are not full of plants like meadows, and occasionally there are some small scorpions and snakes that come out and walk, but these little creatures are afraid of campfires and do not dare to approach here.
"Mr. Solomon, if you hadn't denied it, I would have thought you were a magical warrior. It's unbelievable that you rushed up like this, and in less than half a minute, you killed two killers with your weapons!" Duru sighed as he bit into a dry food cake.
"Combat doesn't have a fixed pattern, and magicians aren't born to stand at a distance and cast magic. Besides, I overestimated those two killers, they weren't even the fifth order, what kind of mystery was pretending!" Fang Zhen took a sip of the Hagen wine brought by Du Lu and said comfortably.
"Hehe, too. The Magic Knight Legion of our Aslan Empire is a strong legion for the purpose of fighting, and magic hand-to-hand combat is simply art. Duru exclaimed.
"Magic Knight Legion, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it, what's going on?" Fang Zhen suddenly became curious.
"The Magic Knight Legion is a legion that has made brilliant achievements when the Aslan Empire was founded, and there is a comment in the chronicles, without the Magic Knight Legion, there would be no Aslan Empire. The formation of the Magic Knight Legion thousands of years ago, I don't know. But three years ago, the Imperial Capital held the Imperial Millennium Celebration, and I, as the heir to the viscount, had the privilege of getting a seat to attend the celebration. At that time, the Magic Knight Legion sent a hundred people to perform a show. A hundred magic knights appeared in the sky, stepping on the 'cloud disk', and performing a magical spectacle that was even more gorgeous than magic fireworks. It's indescribable. At that time, I heard my father say that the Magic Knight Legion, the basic establishment, is 10,000 people. But the peripheral establishment is 100,000. It is said that it is very mysterious what kind of strength it is. Duru recalled.
The cloud disk is a high-end alchemy magic guide researched and invented by the Dania Branch of Samikina College, which can carry people to fly, and is a large saucer with a diameter of two meters and made of special precious metal.
"Legend has it that a regular Imperial Magic Knight can defeat a hundred seventh-order magicians. Duru slowly uttered a startling rumor.
"What! a hundred! How strong is the magic knight!" Fang Zhen was shocked at that time.
"Yes, the powerhouses above the seventh order are all a group of people with a very high status among the cultivators! Maybe the magic knights have received special training and are equipped with magic guides all over their bodies. Otherwise, the Aslan Empire would not have a thousand-year-old glory. The most feared thing by the Theocratic Empire and the Hasari Empire is the Magic Knight Legion. When a hundred years ago, the Binus Community, the closest city to the Aslan Empire, was captured, it only took half a day, 500,000 mercenaries, and 5,000 magic knights. Later, the city of Lusong became the city of Black Lusong. ”
"Black Dew Pine City, could it be that it was smashed into charcoal by the magic knight's magic?" Fang Zhen was stunned for a moment, only thinking of this possibility.
"It's the same as many people have guessed, but it's not true. The specific reason has become a secret of the Aslan Empire, and you may find the answer in the capital of Baimon. After Durrou had finished eating the dry food cakes, he took out a bottle of Hagen and drank it to himself.
"Are all magic knights cultivating both magic and fighting spirit?" Thinking of the number of more than 10,000 people, Fang Zhen couldn't help but feel that the strength of this legion was really terrifying.
"Not necessarily, people who have both magic and vindictive spirit need to be very talented. If you want to achieve higher strength, you need more top-notch talent. As far as I know, the magic knight's equipment armor can make up for the shortcomings of not having a vindictive cultivation. That's why they're called Magic Knights. ”
After listening to Du Lu's words, Fang Zhen felt for the first time what a terrifying military force existed on this continent. As far as the Aslan Empire alone is concerned, a 10,000-strong army of magic knights is so terrifying, not to mention that there are 100,000 reserves. I believe that the Theocratic Empire and the Al Hasari Empire will not be far behind, and I don't know what trump cards the Binus community will have.
However, Fang Zhen was not a conspirator, and he had little interest in studying the situation on these continents. A general understanding of these things is enough, if there is anything that can be exploited, Fang Zhen may be interested in trying it, as long as he can obtain greater benefits.
Egoism is one of the most important doctrines in the dark world. Profit is always the best source of power, but also the most fatal temptation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five days later, Fang Zhen and the three of them finally saw Thundering Grass City.
Because Durrous took into account that there were killers arranged by Leke in the city on the way, he never dared to enter the city to buy carriages and long-eared horses.
More than 3,000 miles, all relying on Fang Zhen's running speed, can only be reached in just five days. Fang Zhen didn't get tired because he had long boots. But for the sake of Ace and Dulu, Fang Zhen grabbed his arm, dragged and ran so far, and his arm was about to break.
"Hmph! Leke hurt me like this time, and I won't let you have a good time. Du Lu looked at the Thundering Grass City from afar, his face gloomy.
"Let's go, Duru, I'm still thinking about my two hundred orange citrine. Fang Zhen's mood seemed to be happy.
"Hehe, I won't forget. Shall I take you into the city first, or shall I stay at my house for a few days?" asked Duru expectantly.
"Your home is in the city?" Fang Zhen did not answer directly.
"No, no, no, my family lives in a castle not far outside the city, and there are many estates around the castle because of the thundering grass. You can choose any one to live in. Duru was enthusiastic.
"I'm not interested, when you enter the city, you can go and get me two hundred orange citrine. I don't have time to play around, I have time to go to sleep. Fang Zhen waved his hand, and then walked towards Thundering Grass City first.
Ace in the back consciously followed.
Du Lu was helpless, through the understanding of the past few days, although Du Lu only touched Fang Zhen's general personality and temper, but this terrifying young man always gave him the illusion of playing cards out of common sense.
Thundering Grass City
Thundergrass is a centuries-old city with a population of millions, a city on the edge of the Aslan Empire, just a mile away from Razor.
Because of this, Thundering Grass City is a defensive city, accommodating 50,000 city guards. Not far from the Thundering Grass, there is a Thundering Fortress, which is an important military base dedicated to defending the borders of the Aslan Empire.
Thundering Grass City, named after Thundering Grass, because the hereditary nobles who ruled Thundering Grass City have been planting and operating Thundering Grass as a business, with a history of hundreds of years, and later changed its name to Thundering Grass City.
The thundering grass is vast, so Rongcheng occupies an area with a large population, and the business is relatively developed. In short, Thundering Grass City is a medium-sized city, and because of the cultivation of Thundering Grass, it has become the third city to plant Thundering Grass, and it is well-known in the Empire.
But these are not what Fang Zhen needs to pay attention to, what he pays most attention to is the Thundering Grass.
Thundering grass is a precious alchemical herb that is rich in thunder and lightning elements, and is the main medicinal material for making many potions. Among them, the most commonly used potion is the thunderbolt replenishment potion that is desired by thunderbolt-based magicians and warriors who cultivate thunderbolt-based fighting spirit. This potion can restore the thunder magic power and fighting qi very quickly, and it also has the effect of promoting cultivation, which is better than the effect of magic crystals.
When Fang Zhen heard Du Lu introduce the effect of the Thundering Grass, his mood was quite complicated.
Because he was also very interested in the Thunder Grass, but his Thunderbolt Magic Seed had not been activated and germinated. This feeling of helplessness and contradiction is really uncomfortable.
Fang Zhen and Ace were sitting in the dining room of an item trading station at this time, waiting for Duru to gather the orange citrine.
The Goods Trading Station is a trading platform in each city, as many different items are traded here, either for bartering or for gold.
Fang Zhen and Ace had been waiting for two hours, eating three meals, before finally waiting for Du Lu to come back.
"Mr. Solomon, little brother Ace, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. As you know, that lizard was too big and had a bit of trouble when trading, but it still sold for six million gold coins, so the loss was not so big. This is the promised orange citrine, count it!"
Du Lu sat opposite Fang Zhen, with a smile on his face, as if he had won the Mark Six lottery, took out a leather bag, and handed it to Fang Zhen.
After Fang Zhen took the leather bag containing orange citrine, he didn't count it, just nodded and put it away.
"In that case, we are separated, and Mr. Duru must be busy returning to the family. Let's not bother, Ace, let's go!" Fang Zhen wiped his mouth and got up.
"Wait, wait, Mr. Solomon, can you stay first? As soon as he saw that the other party was leaving, Du Lu immediately didn't smile and anxiously pulled Fang Zhen's arm.
"Can you let go first, Mr. Duru?" Fang Zhen gestured to his left hand, which was being grabbed by Dulu.
"Can you sit down first, Mr. Solomon?" said Durux, with a sincere face, and he was about to sell cute.
But Du Lu finally let go of his left hand under Fang Zhen's forced gaze.
Fang Zhen loosened his magic robe, sat down again, and said, "What else do you want? I won't get involved in your family's affairs. ”
"This ...... No, Mr. Solomon, it's just ......" Durrous looked nervous and hesitated for a moment.
Just as Fang Zhen was about to get up again, Du Lu was finally willing to speak.
"Alright, Mr. Solomon, can you put a soundproof barrier?"
Fang Zhen nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a thin invisible vacuum enchantment appeared around the three of them.
Sound insulation barrier, in addition to the wind system can be fully exerted, other systems can also use the elements to block the vacuum to isolate the fluctuation of sound.
"That's right, I know Mr. Solomon doesn't care about the gold coins, but I very much hope that Mr. Solomon will help me. I know you're not as simple as it seems, so I want to make a deal. Duru took a sip of water and said.
Fang Zhen didn't speak, quietly waiting for the following.
"I want you to help me kill my brother Lek. ”
