Chapter 63: The Tip of the Iceberg

Victor took Renault and hurried to the lower camp, he was going to join Jack and them, now collecting purification crystals is a top priority, and this is the first use of alchemy creatures, which makes Victor a little excited.

Seeing Victor coming, several of the guards in charge of guarding the gate saluted their lord.

"Prepare two horses for us, I'm going to go on a trip. Victor commanded lightly.

Soon the two healthy horses were brought in, and Victor and Renault turned on their horses and walked away.

An hour later, Lilia hurried back to camp with Old Hamm.

"Victor, where are you going?" Lilia asked, nowing at the gateguard.

The lord didn't say anything, he asked the big man Renault for two horses and left directly. Lilia's anxious look made the guards panic.

"Uncle Hamm!, can the Dogs still be tracked?" asked Lilia, turning back to Old Hamm.

"They're so scared that they won't be able to use it for a day or two. Old Hamm said heavily.

"What should I do?!My brother is not here!The veterans of the regiment have followed him to Blackcastle, these bastards!

"Lilia, don't worry. The adults are very strong, and the big man is by his side, so there will be no accidents. Now it's important to send someone to inform people outside and be vigilant just in case. Seeing that Lilia was in a mess, Old Hamm hurriedly suggested.

"You're right, I'll arrange for someone to inform Sister Linda and Village Chief Morin, and then I'll take a team of people to track down Master Victor. Thinking of Renault's strong strength, Lilia calmed down a little.

"Lilia, without the help of the dogs, we would have had a hard time finding Lord Victor. All right! Only two old fellows have to be sacrificed. ”

Looking at Lilia's stubborn eyes, Old Hamm gave up on persuasion, and he decided to use a secret method to stimulate the life potential of the two Tihounds, even if it would kill them. But Victor's safety is more important!

Victor and Renault soon see the alchemy crow hovering in the sky, which is the meeting place he had arranged.

"You're fast, aren't you?"

Victor was a little surprised to see that five alchemy militiamen were already waiting for him at the assembly point, he and Renaud had come on horseback.

"My lord, we came all the way. Jack said respectfully.

It was 40 kilometers from the camp, and the interval between Victor and Jack was not too long, and Jack and they still rushed to the assembly place first, which shows that these guys ran 40 kilometers at the speed of war horses. This kind of physical strength is really the envy of Victor.

"Well, everyone's here!huh, what about the guys?" asked Victor, suddenly noticing that something was missing.

Jack blew a long whistle, and five black shadows immediately burst out of the bushes in the distance and ran quickly towards it.

Victor raised his eyes, only to see that these black shadows were 6 kilometers away from here, and were running here at an alarming speed, the complex terrain did not cause them too many obstacles, the 10-meter-wide ditch rushed over, full of thorns, and was directly knocked into the ground, in just 5 minutes, these guys have run around Victor, one by one, with their heads down, sticking out their tongues, their thick tails swept up, bringing up a large cloud of dust, and they came to Victor with a whimper.

"Stupid dog! Stop! Sit down!"

Victor was shocked and hurriedly made gestures to stop the affectionate behavior of these big guys, he didn't want to be covered in their saliva anymore.

These are the alchemy mastiffs that the Alchemy Pagoda has only recently created.

Alchemy Mastiff, Physique 18, Spirit 4, Perception 14, Life 5, Cost 800 Gold Sol, Comes with Tracking, Bloodthirsty, Wild Instinct, Lifespan 4 years. It is the standard vigilance unit of the Alchemy Empire.

With an average shoulder height of more than 90 centimeters, a body length of nearly two meters, and a weight of about 120 kilograms, these alchemy war mastiffs are truly giant dogs. Their fur is dense and blue-gray, their bones are thick and hard as steel, and their bodies are full of full, strong muscles. Their snouts are prominent, their teeth are sharp and hard, and the two upper canines are 8 centimeters long, exposing from their mouths, forming a pair of bladed teeth, making them look particularly hideous, and it is this obvious feature that makes people know at a glance that these are ferocious animals!

Since these mastiffs were produced, Victor has only done a few simple tests, and it has been determined that their strength and endurance are amazing, he asked Renault to compete with a war mastiff tug-of-war, Renault, who has cultivated the secret form of barberry, can only be equal to the war mastiff, but when the war mastiff uses bloodthirsty talent, Renault is immediately dragged and rolled on the ground, but after the bloodthirsty effect subsides, the war mastiff becomes very weak, and he can't even stand up.

In addition, these mastiffs are extremely tough, at least rolling down the steep slopes of the upper camp without injury, Victor has already experimented.

In order to keep the Alchemy Tower secret, an area of the upper camp near the cave has been designated as a forbidden area by Victor, and a fence has been built to cover it, even Lilia and Nelson cannot enter.

However, after these vicious-looking big dogs were produced, how to send them out gave Victor a headache. In the end, Victor had to let Renault throw them out from behind the fence one by one. Renault grabbed a mastiff and threw it out of the 8 or 9-meter-high fence, and then heard the mastiff whimper and roll down the steep hillside.

Victor was a little uneasy, jumped on the fence, looked down, and found that the mastiff had rolled a small half distance, so he found his balance and ran down the steep slope happily.

In this way, the five war mastiffs were thrown out one by one. Then, according to Victor's instructions, under the guidance of the alchemy crow, they ran here and hid.

Victor looked at the 5 militiamen, 5 mastiffs, and 10 alchemy crows in front of him, and was a little complacent.

"This time, you are going to enter the swamp and collect this purification crystal, and the specific location, the black feather will lead the way. Victor took out a purification crystal and handed it to Jack to pass it on.

"During the mission, it is important to avoid danger, if you really can't collect, don't fight hard, you can give up the task and withdraw first. Victor admonished coldly.

Although the alchemy creatures are very strong, the Swamp is full of dangers, and even Bruce and them have lost their troops, and Victor is not arrogant to think that his team is stronger than Bruce. So, to go in quietly and bring things out quietly is the tactic he has developed.

"My lord, with the mastiffs, we can avoid most dangers, they have a keen instinct, and they have the ability to anticipate dangers. Jack said.

Victor nodded, this is the effect of the wild instinct of the war mastiff, the king told Victor that the wild instinct is the core skill of the war mastiff, and its bloodthirsty skill is used to cover the retreat of others when encountering danger, and the positioning of the alchemy mastiff is cannon fodder!

"Don't be careless, we don't know much about the situation in the swamp, but we can be sure that there is a lizardman tribe inside, and it is the strongest half-dragon tribe. You can smear mud on your body to avoid being smelled by them. Rather than purifying crystals, I want you to come out in their entirety. ”

This team, which made Victor invest 10,500 gold soles, is currently the most powerful force in his hands, and even if it is cannon fodder mastiff, he does not want to lose.

"My lord, if it's a lizardfolk tribe, it's useless to smear the silt, and their domesticated basilisk can observe temperature changes. We can collect black stinky mushrooms and smear them on our bodies, and all the descendants and bloodlines of Tevaril hate the smell and avoid it from afar, it is their instinct. Jack introduced Victor.

"Wait, what is Tevaril, and what is its descendants and bloodline?"

Jack's revelation surprised Victor.

"Tevaril, the ancient king of the Black Ze, the ancestor of all snake lizards, whose lineage makes up the swamp biome, including the Lizard and the Basilisk, of which the Hydra lizard is a direct descendant. ”

"How did you know this, and why didn't the king tell me this?" asked Victor solemnly.

"My lord, this is all knowledge on our will's side, and Taling has no authority to read and modify the content inherent in our will's side. ”

"And what do you know about this 'Tevarir'?" asked Victor, steady.

"All we know is that Tevaril is the King of the Ancient Blacks, and the traits and abilities of his descendants. ”

"Okay! Tell me about the characteristics of the Lizardmen, the Basilisks, and the Hydra Lizard. ”

The Alchemy Empire obviously wouldn't load the Alchemy Militia with more detailed ancient knowledge, and Victor simply decided to ask something specific.

"Lizardmen, the bloodline of the King of Kurosawa, have a lifespan of 70 years, a keen sense of smell, keen eyesight, are good at using shuttle darts and hunting bows, have underwater breathing and third-level healing abilities, a few individuals have second-level healing abilities, lizardmen have third-level wisdom, can communicate with most Kurosawa blood, and extremely rare elite individuals have extraordinary abilities. ”

"The Basilis, the bloodline of the King of Kurosawa, resembles a large lizard, has no intelligence, has underwater breathing, second-level healing abilities, and is extremely rare and elite individuals with extraordinary talents: petrification. The heart of the basilisk is the third type of material, and the eyes of the elite basilisk are the second type of material. ”

"Hydra Lizard, direct descendant of the King of Kurosawa, ultimate lifespan of 1600 years, level 4 of wisdom, underwater breathing, transcendent regeneration, elemental resistance, poison realm, transcendent talent: elemental stagnation. The skin of the hydra lizard is the first type of material, the heart is the treasure material, the bone is the treasure material, the eyeball is the treasure material, the venom is the first type of material, the feces is the third type of material, and 。。。。。。 ”

"Stop, stop, stop! I know, the hydra lizard is like a fat pig, full of treasures! Now tell me about petrification and elemental stagnation. Seeing Jack talking endlessly, Victor hurriedly shouted to stop, he had learned the integrity of alchemy humans.

"Making eye contact with an elite snake demon will cause the elemental movement in the organism to slow down, causing paralysis and stiffness, as if it has been petrified. ”

"Elemental stagnation is also petrification, but because the hydra lizard has too many eyes, the probability of petrification has increased greatly, and it is almost impossible to avoid it. ”

Victor nodded to Jack to show that he understood, and then he asked, "Why is the Alchemy Militia's will flank loaded with this knowledge? And these material levels? Does it mean that collecting these materials is your job?"

"My lord, gathering materials in dangerous environments is the main job of our alchemy militia. ”

Jack's answer confirmed Victor's speculation, and he was not in a hurry to ask at this time, anyway, the knowledge of the alchemy militia came out of a mold, and it was the same when he asked Renault later.

"It seems that it will not be difficult for you to collect purification crystals this time. Victor said with a smile, even Hydra is on the menu of the Alchemy Militia, let alone collecting purification crystals, although Victor thinks that the Alchemy Militia is the dish in front of Hydra.

"My lord, according to your request, is this a third-level mission?" asked Jack.

"Is there anything special?" asked Victor, confused.

"My lord, the third-level mission is to preserve oneself as the primary purpose, and collecting and purifying crystals is the secondary purpose. The secondary mission is to collect and purify crystals as the primary purpose, and self-preservation is the secondary purpose. A level 1 quest with the sole purpose of collecting purification crystals. York replied lightly.

"Level 3 Mission! You are allowed to sacrifice up to three alchemy mastiffs. Vic said hurriedly. These alchemy humans who are not afraid of death, he still has a lot of use in the future, and he is not here to be damaged.

"Yes, sir. Several alchemy militiamen said in unison, which startled Victor.

"Give you 15 days, you can come back early after the mission is completed, still assemble here, let Black Feather inform me. Remember, after 15 days, whether the mission is completed or not, the CD is waiting here for my orders. Now, let's go!"

At Victor's signal, five heavily armed alchemy militiamen, five giant war mastiffs, and ten alchemy crows headed in the direction of the swamp.

This is the first mission, or the Nth mission, that they, or they, have performed.

Victor sat on horseback, silently pondering, today's conversation with Jack revealed a lot of information, so that Victor could already sketch a rough outline.

The logistics alchemy tower of the Alchemy Empire is composed of alchemy crows responsible for reconnaissance and searching, alchemy militia responsible for collecting and hunting, alchemy war mastiffs responsible for guarding and defending, and alchemy auxiliaries responsible for processing and production.

Judging from the knowledge mastered by the alchemy militia, the alchemists of the Nairel Empire are very familiar with ancient secrets, which shows that their inheritance has a long history.

Thinking of this, Victor immediately asked Renault next to him, "Renault, whose blood is the human race?"

"I don't know. ”

Victor nodded, he was not surprised by this answer, the Imperial Alchemist did not need to instill knowledge about humans in alchemical creatures.

"Whose blood are the gnolls?"

"Lord of Gluttony, Grimku. ”

"What about the elves?"

"I don't know. ”

This answer surprised Victor a little, he frowned, and then tentatively asked, "What about the barbarians?"

"I don't know. ”

Sure enough, he still didn't know, Victor sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Victor and Renaud rode slowly towards the hill camp. Before he was halfway there, he saw Lilia approaching with a team of guards.

"Your Excellency is here!"|

Seeing Victor and Renault, Lilia and the group of guards immediately surrounded here, and quickly surrounded Victor in the middle, with his bow on his bow and his sword out of his sheath, as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Lilia, what's going on?" Victor was nervous by the formation.

"Victor, it's good that you're okay. Seeing that Victor was safe and sound, Lilia swallowed instead.

"Who's going to tell me what's going on?" asked Victor in a loud voice with his arms around Lilia.

"My lord, Lilia, I am worried that you are in danger. My Dogs have spotted a group of ferocious animals roaming the neighborhood!" said Old Hamm to Victor.

"What? a bunch of ferocious animals?!"

Victor was shocked by the news, and now was their weakest moment, a pack of ferocious animals that could have catastrophic consequences for the Free Folk camp.

"Yes, my lord, I surveyed their paw prints, and they should be ferocious wolves, and at least five, which is rare. Old Hamm affirmed.

“。。。。。。。。。。 "Victor.
