Chapter 120: Harvest (II)
Riding a spear is the soul of a knight. The reason why knights were able to rise after the decline of human magical civilization and become the main force of human beings in fighting against demons was because of the powerful impact of the knight holding a spear when he rode his horse and charged. When thousands of knights form a torrent, anyone who stands in their way can only be drowned.
And fighting right away is your weakness.
Placing the long sword in his hand on the table, Roy blinked his eyes and saw the spatial ring on his hand by candlelight. With a move in his heart, he reached out and took out a leather bag from his coat pocket and poured out a few spatial rings.
These spatial rings were all captured in the previous battles with the four major families.
According to the rules, when a captive is captured, his property, including his life and liberty, belongs to the victor. Naturally, the Space Ring is no exception.
At that time, Roy seized a dozen rings.
Among them, there were eleven of the most common third-level spatial silver fingers. These rings, of similar grade to the one in Roy's own hand, are the size of a small room where a dwarf lives. There are all kinds of things inside, and most of them are some daily use.
There are weapons, there is armor, there are gold coins. There are also some jewelry playthings, magic pattern products and elixirs.
And these things, Roy only left gold coins and a few bottles of more precious elixirs, and the rest was directly handed over to Karn to deal with. After the sale, Karn would deposit the money directly into the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce bank and exchange it for a blue gold card for Roy's withdrawal.
Calculations, including the rings themselves, showed that the total value of the loot Roy received from the eleven rings was more than one million gold lulangs.
If it had been placed in the past, it would have been a huge amount of money for Roy. However, when he thought of the ransom of the seven .7 million blue gold coins he demanded this time, Roy suddenly felt it. This million gold lulang is simply not worth mentioning.
In addition to these rings, there are a total of five spatial rings left in Roy's hand at the moment, which are from Scarlett, Richard, Oscar, Barno Jr. and Fred.
Because of his focus on cultivation, Roy never had time to explore the five rings. Now that I have taken stock of my harvest this time, I naturally have to take stock of it.
Roy rubbed his hands together happily. Start choosing your first ring to open.
It's like discovering the nest of a red-eyed crow that likes to steal when you were a child, and there's a special sense of satisfaction.
grabbed the ring and sprinkled it, and found that the closest one to him was Oscar's ring.
This is a blue magic gold ring, the style is clumsy and stable, and it looks very much in line with Oscar's status as a marquis in his forties.
Roy channeled his perception into the ring, and soon, it was on the ring's magic pattern. The spiritual imprint of Oscar was discovered. Magically erased it, and in a matter of minutes, the ring was unguarded and laid naked in front of it like a woman who had stripped naked.
Opening the ring, Roy discovers that it is a larger space than the room he is in.
However, although the space is large, there are not many things to hold. Except for some daily necessities such as clothing and food. There is also a blue gold card of 100,000 blue gold coins, some gold coins. A small box filled with high-quality magic crystals, several bottles of elixirs for replenishing body and spiritual power, or for healing wounds.
Among them, the most special ones may be the two shaman totem poles.
These are two logs 150 centimeters high and about 30 centimeters in diameter. There are many intricate patterns carved on it. Encrusted with gemstones. Animal bones and seeds of some plants. The top was carved in the shape of a strange beast, with iron sheets tied to the top, middle and bottom, and riveted.
Totem poles are no strangers to Roy, who once lived in the barbarian tribe. A few months ago, he was even in the hands of Tracy at the Golden Skull Auction House. Got one.
However, it was a totem of the Black Moon Wheel Stone, only thirty-five centimeters high. There is a big difference with these two totems made of wood.
Roy looked closely and found that these two totems were obviously not Oscar's use. They were packed in a huge wooden box, underneath which was also covered with velvet cloth and decorated, apparently, it was a gift ready for someone.
Sinasir, located southeast of the Duchy of Lulian, is a land mass of hundreds of islands large and small. It was also one of the five principalities of the Saint-Soran Empire.
Compared to Lulian, there are more aliens living in Sinasiri.
In addition to dwarves and elves who don't like to cross the seas, there are gnomes, barbarians, half-orcs, goblins, ogres. There are also krakens and dozens of fish-people.
Because of the geographical conditions, the Sinasilis were born sailors. They have lived at sea for many years and have made ships their home. This made trade, shipbuilding, and fishing in Sinasiri exceptionally prosperous. At the same time, because of the vast ocean and a mysterious island off the beaten track, it is also a paradise for adventurers.
Looking closely at the patterns engraved on the totems, Roy found a number of water-related symbols. If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to have been obtained by Oscar from some tribe of barbarians in Sinasiri. Moreover, looking at these two totem poles, the age is obviously very old.
Roy has always had a very strong interest in the totems of the barbarian shaman.
As a child, he had seen barbarians fighting ogres in battles, and a young shaman appeared on the battlefield and used the totem poles he had set up to form a terrifying flesh mill to strangle batch after batch of ogres into flesh and blood.
Moreover, around his totem array, the barbarian warriors became infinitely powerful, and even if they were injured, as long as they retreated into the totem array, they could quickly recover.
It can be said that a shaman can decide the outcome of a battle.
Therefore, it is generally accepted that one should never provoke a barbarian tribe without first dealing with the barbarian shaman. They are far more dangerous than elves and dwarves.
That's why, over the years, the slave hunters rarely caught the barbarians.
Roy carefully studied the patterns on the totem.
In a certain sense, the shaman's use of totems is also a kind of magic. And in addition to those patterns that resemble magic patterns, there is also a power of faith in the totem that is difficult for other races to understand. This hybrid power requires the special spells and techniques of the barbarians to be activated.
For people of other races, this is an unsolvable problem. Even the best magicians. The power of the totem cannot be mastered.
Roy, however, is an exception.
As a child, he didn't know how many times he had seen barbarian shamans cast spells, and with the help of the Elemental Eye, those dance-like movements and meaningless gestures in the eyes of others. But it was clear in his eyes.
And the spells, he also knows.
The barbarians are a race without words. However, anyone who has been to a barbarian shaman's tree hole, a temple, or a barbarian monument will find some similar paintings.
The drawing is very simple, almost a white line outline. There are mountains, there is water, there are people, there are horses, there is fire. There are trees...... Because they are simple and ugly, and have no aesthetic sense, these paintings have become classic jokes and corroboration for the laughter of other races on the mainland, the barbarian artistic cells.
Only Roy knew that these paintings were actually symbols. Only he knew that there were seventy-two of these symbols. And the pronunciation of each one corresponds to a certain pattern on the totem pole.
The shaman's spells are mysterious, but if you understand their gestures and totemic patterns. It's not complicated. Just follow a certain order of arrangement, place the pattern on the totem. It can be stimulated by pronouncing it with the corresponding symbol pronunciation and matching it with gestures.
Mysterious symbols, pronunciations, different patterns, different gestures. There are also various types of totems with different patterns arranged in order, which together form the mysterious totemic power of the shaman. However, no one knows that this near-unsolvable password was ten years ago. It was inadvertently cracked by a little human boy.
Looking at the patterns on the totem pole one by one, Roy found that there were many patterns about water in the patterns. Obviously, this is a totem that harnesses the power of water. This is in keeping with the characteristics of the barbarian tribe living in Sinasiri.
However, what this totem can ultimately do, Roy can't figure out for a while.
Even if he wrote down all the symbols corresponding to the pattern, he didn't dare to inspire the totem pole. After all, this is the Grand Duke's Mansion, and Roy knows better than anyone the power of the barbarian totem. He didn't want to cause a catastrophe because of his curiosity.
Putting this special trophy into the space ring, and putting it together with another totem pole of the Black Moon Wheel Stone, Roy thought that the next time he went to a desperate situation, he might be able to test it.
After making sure that there was nothing noteworthy in Oscar's ring, Roy picked up the second ring.
This is Richard's ring.
Compared to Oscar's ring, Richard's ring is much more delicate and beautiful.
In this ring, Roy found a set of nine-star legendary-level armor and a longsword inlaid with gems. Looking at the inscriptions inside, they were all created by a blacksmith grandmaster named Andrew in the imperial capital, and they were Richard's special equipment. It's worth a lot of money.
Armor and weapons are the foundation of knights.
And a set of nine-star legendary-level equipment, even for most noble knights, can be called a precious heirloom.
Back then, in Bollabel, seeing a four-star cherished-level sword was enough to make Roy and Tom drool for a long time. If you see a complete set of four-star armor, it is even more good luck. Can make them proud in front of other children for half a year!
And a set of nine-star armor was something that Roy didn't even dare to think about at that time. He even thinks that this kind of treasure does not exist in this world.
If a knight wears a nine-star armor in a knight's joust held in several counties near Polabel, then everyone doesn't have to compare. With this armor alone, he will win. The other poor players couldn't even break through his defenses.
But now...... Roy just looked at the magic pattern on it and tossed it aside.
Although precious, the value of this armor lies in the precious materials, top-notch craftsmanship and exquisite and beautiful appearance. A handsome and wealthy kid like Richard may be suitable, but for Roy, it doesn't have much value. The only use may be to exchange it for gold coins.
Compared to the armor, it was the many elixirs stored in Richard's ring that made Roy more interested.
I have to admit that the wealth and heritage of a wealthy family are of great help to the growth of their children. In the pills that Richard carried with him alone, Roy found three bottles of eight-star spiritual power pills and one bottle of seven-star quenching pills. A bottle of eight-star Pei Yuan Dan and a bottle of healing medicine.
As long as it is slightly refined, it can greatly reduce the toxicity in these elixirs. Whether it is for one's own cultivation, or for the dwarves and elves who lack elixir, it is very useful.
Next up is Scarlett's ring.
In the ring of the wealthy county lord, Roy was given an entire box of high-quality magic crystals. More than a dozen bottles of various elixirs to restore the body and spiritual power, as well as a wide variety of magical equipment.
For example, a ring with level 8 magic solidified, a staff that stores level 9 magic and can increase mana, a delicate small magic shield engraved with a magic pattern, and a necklace pendant that can summon wind spirits.
Among them, a black bracelet piqued Roy's interest.
He discovers that this black bracelet, which is incompatible with Scarlett's style, but which she cherishes and carries with her, is actually a secret weapon from before the Final War.
By activating the bracelet, it unleashes a dragon made of incomparably strong cold iron and mythril.
Like the Titanic that Roy received from Williams, this mecha is also one of the demonic war puppets. Also from the pinnacle of human magical civilization before the Final War.
The difference is that because of the material problem, Titanic is now only 90% repaired and can move, but it has not been able to fully restore its combat ability. This Earth-Walking Dragon, except for a slight damage, has all key parts intact and has most of its combat capabilities.
Roy's room was huge. Adolf Castle is a mix of Romance period and early Baroque architecture. Let this room on the third floor have more than eight meters high ceilings and enough space for dozens of people to gather.
However, after releasing this black one. When the fierce machine was walking the dragon, Roy was still squeezed into the corner. Even the chandeliers on the bed and ceiling were not spared. The moment the Earth Walking Dragon appeared, it turned into a fragment of the ground.
Roy stared blankly at the giant demonic war puppet, and he doubted that he only needed to let the big guy move a little. Adolf will need to build himself a castle again.
When he put the dragon back away, Roy was a little scared.
Although it would take at least two Rank 8 Demonic Beast Magic Crystals to fill the energy of the bracelet, and it would only support the battle of this Rank 8 Demonic Dragon for about ten minutes, there was no doubt about it. Those ten minutes would be a nightmare for any opponent.
If he didn't have the two Sacred Domain powerhouses Tie Lao Er and Xiangxiang by his side at the beginning, with his strength at that time, he didn't need Fred, just Scarlett, a woman, could make himself suffer a big loss!
But...... Roy happily put the bracelet on his wrist and thought happily, now this thing is his own!
Continuing to flip through, Roy's face changed suddenly when he opened a box and picked up one of the items!
In his hand, he carried a bra with beautiful lace lace...... This damn idiot woman, even if she is a captive, this kind of personal stuff should be put away!
This is not a trophy!
Roy blushed and looked around, quickly shoved his bra into the case and closed the lid.
Still, as if poisoned, his mind was filled with the look and smell of that beautiful bra. At the same time, a question involuntarily emerged.
Scarlett's slender figure, that size...... How is it so big?
You can't usually see it!
Finally regaining his calm, Roy opened Fred's ring, and to his disappointment, although this Sanctuary powerhouse was the strongest among these people, there was nothing good in the ring.
There was nothing but some of the usual healing pills and daily necessities. It's right to think about it, maybe at his level, he doesn't need any weapons and pills anymore.
And Barnes & Noble Jr.'s ring gave Roy a surprise.
It's not that there are any great treasures in Little Bano's ring, but that the heir of the Bano family and the commander of the Fifth Legion stores a large number of documents and ledgers in the ring.
At least a third of them are marked top secret.
Obviously, because it was too important, little Bano put these texts in the space ring he carried with him. There is almost no danger of loss or theft.
However, I am afraid that he never dreamed that one day, he would die at Roy's hands, and these essays, letters and ledgers also became Roy's trophies.
Although Roy was not interested in political struggles, he immediately understood the importance of these texts after just flipping through them casually.
The first is letters.
These people who corresponded with Barnes and Noble Jr., in addition to the people of Donald's family, there were some people who originally thought they were neutral, or even loyal to the royal family. The content of the letter touched on all aspects of the empire's military, political and financial affairs.
The second is the ledger, which, in addition to the business dealings of the Barnes and Noble family, also contains financial information from the Fifth Legion and the Donald's side. The finances of the Fifth Army, in particular, are simply a black hole.
It can be said that Little Bano has turned the Fifth Army into a cash cow. More than half of the military funds allocated by the empire went into his own pocket. Moreover, in the name of the army, the Fifth Army was engaged in the activities of hunting slaves, plundering, and reselling arms and horses.
Coupled with those equally unsightly texts, Roy felt that what he was holding in his hand was simply a barrel of explosives. Once announced, the entire empire will be turned upside down!
Roy stood up and paced back and forth a few steps. He knows that these things, if given to the right people, can definitely play a role that ordinary people can't imagine.
And in his mind, the most suitable candidate is none other than Miss Mo Ya from the Ministry of Supervision.
With that in mind, Roy was ready to put all the paperwork away. However, while he was tidying up, a letter with Barnes & Noble's personal seal on the wax sparked his idea...... (To be continued......)
