"Barbarian totem, number one, black moon wheel stone, beautifully carved, thirty-five centimeters high, ten centimeters in diameter, weighing thirteen kilograms. ”

Documentation is simple. A few words, mixed with other detailed lists of items, seem inconspicuous.

But for Roy, this row of words is like a magnet. Even though there were a lot of precious antiques, weapons, and magic pattern materials on top and below, he didn't even take a second look.

Of all the races he came into contact with as a child, the barbarians were definitely the most respected.

They are savage and fierce, good at horse training and hunting, advocating force, and believing in the strong. It is common to disagree with each other, fight and even fight to the death. Every year, they leave the station for half a year to chase the herd of hunts. And occasionally when encountering human caravans, they will also raid.

For them, it's another way of hunting.

Such a race is inherently inaccessible, and in addition to the fact that they live in caves on the top of the mountains, the environment is harsh and secretive, and few humans can understand them. Fewer people know that the totem of the barbarian is not a sacrificial ornament. Rather, it is a powerful weapon.

For thousands of years, barbarians have taken a very different path from humans. Just as elves need to rely on butterflies to complete the transformation of ordinary elves into battle elves, barbarians also need the blessing of the guò shaman to realize the transformation from teenagers to adult warriors.

After receiving the blessings of the shaman, the barbarian's body and strength will be qualitatively improved, and in one night, their body size will increase by two times and their strength will increase tenfold. After that, at every stage of cultivation, he would receive the blessings of the shaman, and although his body would not grow longer, his strength would never end. It is said that a barbarian who has completed nine blessings can easily kill a human paladin in seconds.

Of course, that's just a legend. The Barbarian has a small population base and even less chance of a genius. The barbarians after the final battle have also lost a lot of inheritance, not to mention the ninth level, even the seventh-level blessed barbarian fighters have not appeared for a long time.

However, it cannot be denied that the barbarians are the best warriors in the Avalon continent. In terms of hand-to-hand combat ability, there is no race in the world.

Because of this, people's impression of barbarians is focused on their strong hand-to-hand combat ability, but few people know that shamans are not only the source of barbarian strength, but also the strongest of the barbarian tribe.

A tribe of barbarians with only seven shamans. There will never be one more. There will never be one less. Only when a shaman dies will a new shaman be born.

Each shaman is a descendant of the former shaman, who, in the last year before his death, followed the will of the gods, passed on divination, and chose from among the barbarian children to possess the wisdom of the gods.

For a year after the discovery of the spirit child, the shaman will pass on his knowledge to his disciples in a magical way called an empowerment. There is no writing, not even a language to teach. The whole process is a silent picture of an old man stroking the top of a child's head.

Day after day. This kind of indoctrination will last for a full 360 days. And this stage is also a period of spiritual integration between shamans and spirit children. Until the day when the shaman ran out of oil and the lamp dried up, the two senses completely merged into one.

At this time, the old shaman dies and the spirit child becomes the new shaman.

Just as a barbarian boy is blessed for the first time and grows up overnight, so the spirit child matures overnight.

Although his strength is still weak, his divine sense and knowledge are very strong, and his mind has been compensated for by the fusion of his previous shaman, and he has become wise and calm.

Shamans have no spells. All of their qiē rely on different totems to perform.

Totems come in different kinds, different shapes. Some are stone pillars. Some are metal utensils, and some are monster bone armor. Each totem has different powers. Some can unleash rain mist, some can summon thunderstorms, some are powerful offensive totems, and some can summon phantom beasts.

However, as the highest and most precious force among the barbarian tribes, shamans have always been extremely closely protected. Unless it is time for all the warriors in the clan to die in battle or the survival of the entire clan, they are not allowed to attack directly. Therefore, they use the most blessing-type totems.

With the blessing of Guò, they can increase the combat effectiveness of the tribal warriors, expel the negative spells released by the opponent, or restore the body and vitality. It can be said that the shaman is the barbarian's magician, the difference is that the sorcerer's strength lies in healing, while the shaman's strength lies in the ability increase.

And the totem is the source of shamanic power. The higher the level of the totem and the more powerful it is, the stronger the shaman. It's always been a secret. Not to mention that no one knows about other races, it is among the barbarian tribes. Except for a few shaman elders and patriarchs, few people knew about it.

Luckily, Roy is one of the owners of this secret.

During those days when they lived in the barbarian tribes, the shamans did not shy away from Roy, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, when they inspired the totem. After all, their legacy is too secretive. Even his own people can't understand it, let alone a small child.

But no one knew that Roy, who was born with an elemental eye, could clearly see the mysterious methods of shamans. Different totems, different secrets, like a book, were clearly spread out in front of him. There is no secret to what you take.

For this kind of magic is very different. And with the same magical powers, Roy was filled with curiosity and awe. More full of longing.

Especially now, when the bandit army urgently needs to become stronger, seeing a totem in front of him, he can't let go of such an opportunity.

However, despite his itching, Roy was not stupid enough to ask for a totem. He slowly flipped through the book, and when he had finished reading it, he closed it and handed it back to Tracy, and he didn't say yes or no, but stretched out his hand and said, 'Show me the wand and the magic pattern.' ‘

Tracy looked happy and quickly handed over the things.

Roy took the wand, compared the three magic patterns, and looked at them carefully.

The magic pattern of the boundary seems simple, but in fact it has great knowledge. A good boundary can not only isolate the main magic pattern, but also have a certain auxiliary effect on the main magic pattern. In the history of Demonic Patterns, there are even examples of Demonic Patterns designers designing the main Demonic Patterns as low-level Demonic Patterns to reduce the loss of mana, but relying on boundaries to increase the power of the main Demonic Patterns to a higher level.

And a bad line will not only have great side effects on the main magic pattern, but may even cause a backlash of magic chaos and hit the user hard.

So, it's not a simple job. If you want to complete it, you have to be careful and deliberate.

Roy asked for tools, and after carefully measuring this phoenix thunderbolt elf wood, he probably had a number in his heart.

This branch has been very beautifully built and carved, not only making the greatest use of the original form, but also cleverly using the different curvatures of the inner concave and outer convexity, increasing the area of the carved magic pattern. Holds three main magic patterns. No problem at all.

However, there are three more boundary patterns to be accommodated. That location is not enough.

In terms of the "square inch", the professional unit of measurement of the magic pattern master, the three traditional boundary magic patterns require at least half a square inch. And this wand. After carving the three main patterns, only 0.2 Rubik's cubes remained. Without more than half of the area, it is impossible to complete it.

Roy couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart.

This is missing 0.3 square inches. However, two fingers wide and one finger long, placed on any magic pattern artifact, it belongs to the corner space and is not taken seriously. But the preference is not bad, but it is worse than this precious phoenix lightning strike elf wood. One can imagine the frustration and unwillingness of the wand owner.

Carving two main magic patterns, the area is enough, but the material is wasted. And carving three can't solve the problem of boundaries. I almost vomited blood just thinking about it.

I know the specific number jù. The corners of Roy's mouth hooked up a smile.

It may not be enough to outline three traditional magic patterns as boundaries on 0.2 square inches, but for the concise life magic patterns, it is not a difficult task. In just a few moments, he had already thought of at least seven or eight kinds.

He returned the wand in his hand to Tracy, met her expectant eyes, nodded and said, "The Three Boundaries Pattern is fine......

Tracy was pleasantly surprised. But. She didn't have time to speak, but she listened to Roy. "But...... Are you sure you trust me?"

Tracy was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"This wand is limited in size, and once it's inscribed, it can't be changed," Roy said, "which means I've engraved the boundary." The rest of the space can only fit exactly three main magic patterns. And once any of the boundaries have a problem......"

Before Roy's words were finished, Tracy had already understood, and her face turned a little pale for a while.

The inscription of two main magic patterns and the inscription of three main magic patterns are completely different in the treatment of the wand. The two main magic patterns are one on the left and one on the right. The location is more than enough. But the three main magic patterns are in the shape of a product zigzag, each according to one side. A problem with any one of these boundaries means that the entire wand is scrapped!

At that time, it will be impossible to engrave two main demon patterns again, or even one main demon pattern.

Other magic pattern carriers, if they are scrapped, they will be scrapped. The Demon Pattern Painter's Drawing Book is full of all kinds of variables, and the slightest negligence will be wasted. There are very few materials in this world that have been destroyed because of demon painting. But in his own hands, it is an incomparably precious phoenix elf wood!

It may not be the rarest and most precious wand material, but it is the most suitable for the owner. Once it fails, not to mention how high the chamber of commerce will pay for it, the loss of prestige of the chamber of commerce and the bad relationship with the client alone cannot afford it!

For the first time, Tracy realized that the wand in her hand was so heavy. For a while, I hesitated and hesitated.

At this time, she realized that the man's intention of entrusting this problem to herself - no matter how powerful the lone wolf is, such a risk is not something that a small auction house director can bear!

At this moment, Tracy wanted to return the task directly to the association. Although this means that his dream of being promoted to the elder of the auction house is shattered, at least he does not have to take responsibility and will not let his efforts and efforts over the years be in vain. There are still opportunities in the future.

However, when she raised her head and looked at the clear and calm blue eyes under Roy's mask, her heart jumped. Immediately, a crazy idea couldn't stop pouring out from the deepest part of my heart!

"Bet on this one!"

Before meeting the lone wolf, his path to promotion was bleak. It was the appearance of the lone wolf. only then did he break through that person's blockade and enter the sight of the senior management of the association. That's why we have the current qiē.

Although this task, no matter how you look at it, it is more like a trap. But behind the risk, isn't it an opportunity?

Especially after the lone wolf said the words "no problem" himself, if he retreated, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life. After all. This kind of opportunity may only come once in a lifetime. If you can't get through this level with the help of a lone wolf, then how can you defeat that person in the future?

Tracy pursed her lips tightly, a strong instinct of trust urging her to make a bet!

"I believe in you. Tracy said flatly. pushed the wooden box on the coffee table in front of Roy. Until the words came out, she didn't understand why she had made such an unwarranted and crazy decision. But after saying it, she really felt a sense of relief.

Tracy's answer. Roy was a little surprised.

"I'll take the wand with me, it's going to take at least three days," Roy looked into Tracy's eyes, "Plus, you'll have to pay first." ”

If someone else made such a damn request, Tracy would not hesitate to kick him out. But for the lone wolf, she didn't have any idea of refusal.

Since you bet, you might as well bet on a big one.

The bet she made. It's not just the wand, it's her fate. Either win a full house. Or, lose all your money!

Looking back on her struggle and persistence over the years, she has long been exhausted. Since there will be a result anyway, it is better to let this result come a day earlier.

"No problem. Tracy nodded dryly, and flipped through the book in her hand. "What more do you want than ten sets of gear?"

Roy smiled, pointing his finger at the totem line.

"This!"

...........................

...........................

In the night, a luxurious empty demon ship sailed silently over the endless Gobi in the southeast of the Solan Empire.

It's a forbidden area for life. Except for the cold starlight in the sky and the bright red glow of the magic moon. There is only a barren continent of sand and gravel with no grass. The black figure of a violent tornado wandered on the horizon in the distance, and in the gray sandstorm, blood-red lightning lit up from time to time.

The Sky Demon Ship flew carefully, trying to avoid these natural forces that could crush its bones. A few griffon knights, guarding the surroundings of the Sky Demon Ship. The shiny armor reflected the starlight, and the cloak on its back fluttered in a straight line with the wave of the griffin's huge wings, which were nearly six meters wide.

With a huge flapping of wings and a fierce wind, a griffon landed on the wide deck of the Sky Demon Ship.

Auston straightened his hood that had been blown away by the wind, and turned his gaze back to the endless Gobi.

This Gobi, called Palangobi, has the title of the Realm of Death. Not only is it desolate and barren, but also the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, and the wind and sandstorm are raging, which makes people talk about it.

The Palango Desert is 800 kilometers long from east to west and more than 500 kilometers wide from north to south. It was like a huge scar that stretched between the central plains of the Solan Empire and the southern coast. Except for the empty magic ship, which can pass through a route that is extremely demanding on weather and sailing height, no one dares to pass through the ground.

Both caravans and armies wishing to go south had to go east by boat through the coast of the Sinasiri Islands, or westward, bypassing the Andes Snow Mountains in the northeast of the province of Lulian and entering the Lulian Plains. Any attempt to conquer the Parangobi turned out to be a stupid mistake.

During the day, the scorching sun turns the stones of the Gobi into burning coals. And the cold of the night can freeze the most hardy ice and snow monsters into ice sculptures. Add to that the tornadoes that sweep by, and the windy sandstorms that alternate between hot and cold in the early morning and evening, and walking here is no different from walking in hell.

Auston sighed.

The Paran Gobi has always been a place of personal hatred for the people of the Solan Empire, especially the merchant mercenaries who come and go from the south to the north. Its existence has hindered north-south traffic and brought too much trouble to everyone. Without it, the southern part of the empire would be much more prosperous.

However, after the outbreak of war, this place became a natural line of defense between the eastern and southeastern regions of the empire. The people of the empire who used to hate it now want the Parang Gobi to be a little wider and longer.

And the southern part of the Parangobi is already a mess, right?

As one of the elders of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce, Auston traveled to the major provinces of the empire in his early years, and was all too familiar with the south.

It was a land of life. There along the coast. There are beautiful port towns, sparkling seas, fishing boats and merchant ships with white sails, and markets bustling with people. There is a wide variety of specialty goods brought in from the north and south.

If you give the south another 100 years, it will not fail to become a new economic, political and cultural center. This is a sign that is already being revealed. Before the war, the nobility of the south was getting richer and richer. More and more talkable, more and more a force in the imperial aristocracy that people cannot be underestimated.

However, this qiē has been reduced to ashes with the invasion of the Firetes.

Alston wondered how many towns had been destroyed, how many people had left their homes, and how many nobles and manor owners had been ruined overnight. But he knew that the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce's losses in the south alone exceeded tens of millions of Jin Lulang. This is also the result of early evasion.

And this time, with the fall of Archduke Adolf. Lulian, the most important province in the south, was about to fall into the hands of the Phillips. The Lulian branch is already the last foothold of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce in the south, once lost, the future north-south freight will have to detour through Saxony and go to Sinasili, which is tantamount to a huge blow to the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce based on the circulation of goods......

Come to think of it. Auston couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Auston, is there anything bothering?" said an old magician in a black robe. Like a ghost, it loomed silently around Auston.

Facing this old magician, with Auston as the elder of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce, his expression was also respectful, "Your Excellency Aristotle, why did you come out too?"

It's so noisy inside, I like to be quiet. Aristotle looked at the sandstorm in the distance that was constantly flashing with red lightning, and said lightly.

Auston glanced back at the empty demon cabin, and through the brightly lit windows, he could see the people inside, hear the bursts of profligate laughter, and feel the extravagant indulgence that came to his face. To this, he just smiled silently. Although he himself doesn't like this kind of life of being drunk and dreaming of death. However, he couldn't say anything, after all, the people in the cabin were all his colleagues.

This empty demon ship. In addition to Auston and Aristotle, there was another Chamberof Commerce Elder, two Elders of the Subordinate Auction House, and dozens of guards and staff. The reason why the people moved south so much was not because of anything else, but because of the wand mission entrusted by Aristotle.

Speaking of the name Aristotle. In the wizarding world of St. Solan, everyone knows about it.

As far as Auston knew, this sixty-two-year-old Dafa God was promoted to the Imperial Dharma God thirteen years ago. At that time, it was the time when the relationship between the Empire and the Holy See was most tense because of the attack on the Long River of Frost. Aristotle's timely promotion added a lot of confidence to the empire that was at a disadvantage.

The number of paladins and gods has always been the most important criterion for judging the military strength of the three empires. Each of them has unimaginable powers. In a war, one more paladin and a god of law may be able to determine the final outcome of a huge battle.

This shows how important Aristotle's promotion was to the empire at that time.

His Royal Highness Edward, who was still the prince at the time, immediately went to Aristotle's magic tower and canonized him as the Royal Protector, the Grand Master of the Royal Knights, the Academician of the Heraldic Academy, the Academician of the Royal Law Academy, the Marquis and the fief.

Aristotle did not shirk either, and immediately accepted the above qiē and swore allegiance. His addition greatly increased the strength of the Royal Knights. Externally, it shocked the Pompeii Empire, the Philip Empire, and the Holy See, and internally it shocked Pope Solan and Prime Minister Donald.

Therefore, although Aristotle was the less senior of the many Dharma gods in the empire, his prestige was far higher than that of those Dharma gods who only focused on research and stayed away from political disputes. Especially in the hearts of those loyal to the royal family, his position is even more supreme.

Subsequently, a series of assassinations against Aristotle also made his strength recognized by everyone.

At that time, the Holy See and the two empires, who learned that the Holy See had added a god of law to the Empire, were unwilling to sit idly by and watch Solan's strength, taking advantage of Aristotle's first promotion to the god of law, and the realm was unstable. They filmed assassins infiltrating Saint-Solan in an attempt to eradicate the roots by assassination.

From the first assassination, the royal family got the news.

If the newly promoted god of law is assassinated, then, for the empire, for the royal family. Definitely a hard hit. Therefore, Edward sent the most elite guards to take charge of Aristotle's protection. But no one expected that the kindness of the royal family was directly rejected by His Excellency the new Dharma God.

"I'll just solve this matter myself. Aristotle left such a simple sentence and returned to his magic tower alone.

Then, there was an assassination attempt that lasted for two whole months.

In this contest, the two empires plus the Holy See sent a total of thirteen groups of assassins. Succession after succession, but instead of killing Aristotle, they left all their lives in his hands. During the most intense period, almost every day, the servants in charge of cleaning would carry out several corpses.

In this process, Aristotle has always fought alone.

It was this battle that people were surprised to discover that Aristotle. Definitely not a nerd who only knows meditation and magic research. He is not only strong but also knowledgeable. Moreover, in terms of the means of fighting, he is more proficient than most of the Dharma Gods that everyone knows.

The people who died at his hands were not only well-known murderers on the killer list, but also three knights of light and a paladin. Moreover, everyone dies differently. Some were killed head-on. Some of them died in the circle he had set up without even seeing his face.

To this day, that battle remains the most popular legend of the Empire.

For such a character, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce is of course trying its best to make friends. Luckily for Auston, the Chamber of Commerce started twenty years ago. He maintained a good relationship with Aristotle. Therefore, this time, when Aristotle encounters a problem, he will find himself as soon as possible.

It's a pity that the Chamber of Commerce gathered the masters of the Demon Pattern Research Institute and studied for so long, but they couldn't solve Aristotle's problem. And now, it is the last time for the agreed period.

"Tell me about the lone wolf......," said Aristotle, "Mr. Alston, do you know anything about this man?"

Auston shook his head, "I'm sorry, Lord Aristotle, I don't know much about that mysterious magician. He was like a shooting star, suddenly streaked across the southern sky. And before that, no one in the Imperial Demon Pattern Realm had ever heard of his name. ”

"A mysterious fellow," Aristotle said with a smile, "but the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce, which has great powers, has made contact with him. I don't know what else you can't do. ”

"Your Excellency, you've been too rewarded," Auston said modestly, "it's just luck. Besides, we can't be sure that he will be able to solve your problem. ”

Alston said, turning his head to look at the cabin.

There were some things he could not have said to Aristotle.

In fact, the senior management of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce knew that the reason why this problem was finally put into the hands of the head of a branch of the subordinate auction house was because of the lone wolf's deposit zài, and the main reason was because of some personal grudges.

The other Chamber of Commerce elder who was in the cabin at the moment was still ranked ahead of Auston. And he is the uncle of Tracy, the director of Loulian's auction house.

Speaking of which, there's another story in this.

Tracy's father is one of the five permanent elders of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce. And Tracy's mother is a very ordinary but gentle woman. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth when she was born. All along, it was her father who brought her up.

At a very young age, Tracy showed amazing business talent. To this day, Auston remembers that when he was only an elder of the auction house, in the conference hall of the general building, he often saw the little girl who followed his father and listened attentively to the discussion.

Her amazing aura, comprehension and calculation skills amazed Auston, who had been in business all her life.

Tragically, within a few years, Tracy's father also died due to a rare illness, leaving Tracy, who was less than ten years old at the time, alone. From then on, Tracy lived with her uncle, Bishop, until she turned eighteen.

Tracy's uncle, Bishop, turned out to be just a small person in the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce. The talent in all aspects is not outstanding. It was with the support of Tracy's father that he got to where he is today. However, this person is a greedy guy.

In order to climb up, Bishop can be described as unscrupulous. As long as it is beneficial to him, he will do anything.

If it's just for outsiders, that's fine. What's even more odious is that this guy does the same to his own niece.

During his eight years as a guardian, Bishop not only transferred all the property left by Tracy's parents into his own hands, but also, seeing that Tracy was getting bigger and more beautiful, he used her as a cash cow and a ladder to climb up.

When Tracy was eighteen years old, he decided on a family affair for Tracy without her consent. Later, because of Tracy's resolute resistance, this family affair finally collapsed because of the other party's annoyance, so that Bishop not only did not get benefits, but got into trouble.

After that, Bishop did not give up, and looked for several wealthy families for Tracy, especially the children of the family who were very helpful to him, but unfortunately, they were all given up because of Tracy's resistance.

The relationship between the two is getting stiffer and stiffer. In the end, in order to avoid Bishop, Tracy simply went to Lulian.

This time, the task is the problem that Bishop has set for Tracy.

Based on Tracy's performance and ability, she was already qualified to be promoted to the elder of the subordinate auction house. As long as she sits in this position, even Bishop will have nothing to do with her. You can't suppress her like before and force her to comply. Therefore, he has always obstructed Tracy's promotion.

This kind of approach, even the rest of the Chamber of Commerce, is a little blind. However, Bishop is Tracy's uncle after all, and he puts on a face of his own family affairs and iron-faced selflessness and sacrifices the righteousness of his relatives, what can others say?

This year is the year of the change of elders of the three major banks, and seeing that no matter what the reason, Tracy can no longer be stopped, Bishop came up with this solution.

This kind of bullshit and shit, of course, Auston couldn't tell Aristotle. As an old friend of Tracy's father and the person who had been secretly helping Tracy, all he could do now was pray that Tracy would get through.

You must know that with the deterioration of the war situation in the South, the abolition of the Lulian branch and its three subordinate branches has been put on the agenda, and there is not much time left for Tracy.

But...... The General Association of Demon Pattern Masters, which gathers the top Demon Pattern Masters, can't solve the problem that the Demon Pattern Research Institute can't solve, can that Demon Pattern Master named Lone Wolf really be able to solve?

Listening to Bishop's laughter from the cabin, Auston couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Tracy.

A sandstorm in the distance obscured the moonlight.

The night was getting darker

(To be continued......)
