Chapter 40: Lively
Like a spring breeze blowing in the wilderness at the end of winter, the enthusiasm of the city of Campas was completely ignited.
In the past seven or eight days, hunting the river shark polluted by the elemental power has become the focus of everyone here. People in Uptown are talking about it, and people in Downtown are talking about it. Whether it's the villas of the nobles or the low alleys of the poor, it has become almost the only topic.
In the face of the knighthood hunt, even the big news that Richard made before has become a night breeze. After blowing away, there was no trace left.
There's a reason for that, too.
The city of Campas, as a rising city-state, was separated from Edo only 400 years ago due to war.
The titular administrators of this place, the Danze family, also have a knighthood bestowed upon them by King Edo. At the end of each year, near the Day of Divine Grace, Count Tanzawa solemnly travels to the capital of the kingdom and hands over a gold coin engraved with a rose insignia to the king in order to pay taxes. This symbolizes the kingdom's dominion over the place.
Not to mention, the trade between the two places is extremely close, resulting in very similar customs and habits. The people here actually have a strong sense of identity with the land where their ancestors were born in Edo.
Although, their patriotism is only limited to the gold coin that is handed in on time every year.
However, this did not prevent His Royal Highness Prince Edo, and when the bounty of the knighthood was announced, the whole city became a sea of activity.
Don't forget, the highest status here is only the title of count.
Although the Sunset Wasteland is a place where few people are scarce. But the title of Earl of Sunset is a much-sought-after treat for many in this majestic city.
In this context, the two subsequent hunts were held with dense onlookers. Even due to the large flow of people, it once caused traffic jams, so the Compaz of Campas made up its mind to simply dispatch the city guards to maintain order.
The streets and alleys of the city are as lively as festivals these days, as if every day is the birthday of the gods.
With so many people watching the play, it is inevitable that there will be some chaos.
Although many people understand that this reward is just a momentum, the winner has already been determined. But those who received the prince's golden eggs still can't help but have some thoughts.
After all, this is a stage that anyone can go up to.
Even if you can't win, you can still aim for attention.
In this world of swords and sorcery, fame is no less than power and wealth.
This led to a very ridiculous scene, although they knew that they could not win, the major forces in the city still reorganized themselves and took turns to fight, which further heated up the atmosphere.
The first orgasm soon came.
The Blood Axe Corps, led by the Danze family, specially invited three sea giants to participate in the round-up of the hunting demon shark.
Each of the three sea giants is five meters tall. They have obsidian-like skin, and their eyes are like blue gemstones, as deep as the sea. In addition to their incredible natural powers, these three intelligent creatures who look like magnified men also have the ability to drive away water and ice.
As a natural herdsman, the sea giant can definitely be said to be an expert in water warfare.
It's a pity that the three sea giants went down majestically, but in the end they came back with a blue nose and swollen face.
As aquatic animals, the demon shark is not afraid of their amphibian bipedal apes.
The sea giant's huge strength, in front of the demon shark's behemoth body, is just a firefly to Haoyue, which is really not worth mentioning. Only magic, but they fought each other for a few rounds.
Although the magic of the demon shark is strong, there is only the trick of mirroring the clone back and forth, which is not comparable to the sea giant's ability to stir up waves and create fog. But on this premise, once it is coupled with its extremely strong anti-magic ability and invulnerable sharkskin, it still lays down the victory early. After a few fights, the Demon Shark fanned the three giants to the shore with one tail.
The most powerful thing about the Demon Shark is its terrifying resistance to magic.
From its body, it is clear how strong the Apostle Stolas is as a demigod.
Magical armor that shatters all magic, plus dragon-like physical power and magic. Such a combination is almost the strongest spear with the strongest shield.
After the sea giant, even the druids who came from thousands of miles to watch the excitement also played.
The people of Campas City are also fortunate to be able to see a great druid sage known as a genius, incarnated into a sea dragon, and fought against the demon shark.
It's just that for the same reason, the Demon Shark came out on top.
When the young druid archsage came ashore, half of his leg was bitten and broken, and he was drenched in blood. And the demon shark relies on a shark skin that is not broken in King Kong, but there is no.
At this point, things seem to have taken a strange turn.
Many people who know the inside story are beginning to doubt the authenticity of the matter, with the strength of the demon shark, if you want to hunt successfully, I am afraid you really have to show the true ability to press the bottom of the box.
In this case, there are even people who are worried about the snow wolf Nurman.
The stage is set up, the reputation is also out, and this is going to be a big mess, which is really interesting.
None of this had anything to do with Richard, though.
In his hut, these days are also in full swing. It's just that others are constantly hoarding scrolls and recruiting masters in order to hunt demon sharks, but he is constantly buying fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs in the water.
"How's the twelfth set of experiments?"
In the cellar, Richard was leaning down to observe the plaster loaches in the basin at his feet.
The loach he had here was more than a meter long, the size of an ordinary eel, and under the mucus all over his body, an armor-like exoskeleton appeared.
Undoubtedly, it was also a victim of this apostolic birth.
The person who answered Richard was Diana, who was holding a pen and paper on the side.
"As the experimental group, the mutant scaleless carp only lasted less than an hour. In the case of complete lack of water, the longest carp in the control group was about the same. Dressed in a white dress and white coat, she now looks like a capable female experimenter in later generations.
He continued: "This mutant scaleless carp is very similar to the situation of that demon shark. They all possess armor-like anti-demon scales, plus the skills to control the golem clone. ”
Richard listened to the reciprocation and gave an affirmative answer, and he nodded at Diana.
Then, Richard turned his head to look away.
"How's the fourteenth group of experiments going?"
"The mutant group, all three of them are dead, and the time is all in a quarter of an hour. In the normal group, all ten of them died, and the ups and downs were very large, but the longest was a quarter of an hour. Heloise replied coldly.
Under Richard's machination, she also wore a white lab coat.
In the past few days, in order to better observe Richard, these two ancient heroines who came back from the dead willingly started to become two female employees of Richard's laboratory.
As for Princess Audrey.
During this time, she went back to the cellar from time to time.
Seeing these three people like "fools", playing the game of children's wine over there, she kept smiling.
One night, Her Royal Highness simply woke up laughing.
It's just that she looks at others like this, and others also stare at her with the same bad intentions. When more and more experimental data were accumulated in their hands, not only Richard, but even Diana looked at Audrey with strange eyes.
