At a distance of about twenty meters from the campfire, East and his party passed by silently.

With the group's night vision that Mora Gott has blessed with everyone, the sentinels hiding in the shadows by the campfire have nothing to hide. Esther clearly saw that as his group passed by the campfire, the sentry had clearly made an observational movement, as if he had discovered something.

Unfortunately, thanks to Mora Goult's spells, Esther and his party are invisible to both visible and infrared vision. In other words, unless this sentry has arcane vision, he can't find East and the others who are close at hand.

The sentry looked to the left and right in confusion for a moment, then leaned down again, and deftly ducked himself into the shadows.

Easter, shrouded in a silenced barrier, spoke loudly to Reynoldson without care. He pointed to the place where the sentry was hiding, and to the campfire, where they were talking and laughing, and who were eating a hot dinner, and said, "Old man, who do you think these people are, and why do they stop in such a place instead of going to the portal?"

"Little one, do you want to test my eyesight?" Reynoldson smiled and began to point at the men and women.

"First of all, they don't have tents and they don't have sleeping bags. But everyone has a large hooded cape. This shows that they are all used to sleeping in the open. And the negative energy here is so strong at night, but they don't care, which shows that they all carry equipment to resist negative energy. Looking at their weapons, they are all very old in appearance, and the grips are still wrapped with non-slip cloth straps and ropes. So I'm sure these are battle-hardened mercenaries. ”

"Indeed, I can see that. But why did they stop here? It wasn't a good place, there was nothing but the Purple Star Flower. No, not even the Purple Star Flower is there now. ”

"Who says there's nothing good here. It's just that there are some good things you can't use. Mora Gott, who was walking a short distance behind the two, interjected. She looked at the mercenaries and said to Reynoldsam, "If I'm not mistaken, these are some undead trappers. Specially come to catch the undead near the Eye of Ashes. I think they must have set a trap in the limestone area during the day. ”

"What is the use of catching the undead?" Not only East, but also the curiosity of several people, including Alfrin and Monica, were attracted, and even Sonia, who was walking in the front, did not look back, but also slowed down significantly.

"Of course it's making money! The undead creatures near the Eye of Ashes have unique properties, and they can extract extremely pure negative energy crystals from them. ”

Reynoldson said, pointing to several large wooden boxes looming in the darkness around the campfire.

"Those boxes are traps. It is usually filled with critters or magically crafted undead bait. Once the stupid undead walk in, they can't come out. The next day, after dawn, they went to catch the spirits. Just open the skylight of the box, and as soon as the sun shines, the undead are half finished. And because the undead are not living creatures, they can be completely packed into space equipment. ”

"Is this kind of trade a lot of gains? Low-level undead are not worth a lot of money, right? High-level undead can't be caught in this kind of trap. ”

"I really don't make a lot of money. But there is no danger in Sheng, and after a trip, you can at least earn half a year's living expenses. So there are a lot of mercenaries who will come to this transaction. ”

The old man glanced at Easter and said with some sighs: "Don't always look at the world with your eyes. At worst, you are also from a martial arts family, you have never worried about money since you were a child, and you have a systematic training method at hand. He became a teenager and became a legendary powerhouse early. You don't realize the hardships that ordinary martial artists from ordinary families go to in order to scrape together a tuition fee and further deepen their cultivation. Do you think that you can become an excellent fighter just by practicing blindly on your own? Without sufficient financial support, you will not be able to find excellent teachers, let alone systematic training. ”

Esther was a little dazed. He never imagined that he would be considered a privileged class in his life. It wasn't until today's words from the old man and his words that he really remembered an old saying in his previous life, "Poor literature and rich martial arts". Without enough financial support, Sonya's shocking appetite after breaking through level ten alone was enough to bankrupt ordinary people. At Sir Red's house, however, this amount of food was not cared for at all, but made the Sir and his wife very happy, and every time they had lunch, they deliberately prepared a lot of well-cooked meat to feed Sonya.

In many cases, this meat is not ordinary domestic animal meat, but more of the flesh of various ancient wurms rich in magic in the forest. And only a small number of these ancient wurms were hunted by Lord Red himself in his spare time, and the vast majority were purchased from hunters in the West Forest region. In this respect, the knight annuity issued by the Coron royal family is really quite generous. It's no wonder that so many people, even if they cheat on drugs, are going to become jazz.

And a warrior from an ordinary person's background, unless his family is very wealthy, it is impossible for him to have a diet like Ist and Sonya, let alone start systematic martial arts learning from the age of five or six. As a result, although the vast majority of all warriors were from civilian families, more than two-thirds of the members above level 10 came from various military nobles and fiefdom noble families. And when it comes to the high-level threshold of the fifteenth level, there are 90% of those who pass and are from aristocratic families. As for the proportion among the legendary powerhouses, there is a huge difference. Generally speaking, for every two hundred newly promoted legendary powerhouses, only one will come from the real low-level ordinary people. On the contrary, among the legendary families of various great nobles, in each generation, there will basically be a new legendary powerhouse.

Take the bald white and Monica siblings as examples, although they have to meet a famous teacher and practice very subtle breathing skills, they have easily broken through the high-level threshold of level fifteen. But no one dares to say that they will definitely be able to break through the limits of mortals and become legendary powerhouses. Because comprehending the power of the realm, there is no trace at all, unless you have friends at the level of a legendary powerhouse, and often open the power of your own realm as a reference object for your self-cultivation. This is not a problem at all for Kaneba, Meishan and Alfrin. Because in the environment in which the two of them grew up, there were too many legendary powerhouses with close relationships. They can even perceive the power of the realm of many legendary powerhouses one after another, and find their own path from them. Moreover, both of them are legendary bloodlines, and before reaching level twenty, there is no such thing as a cultivation bottleneck.

This is also the reason why the bald White agreed to join her team after receiving Sonya's invitation after a little consideration, which is also the reason why many legendary powerhouses will have several powerful followers. Because by following a legendary powerhouse, you can get a lot of help in the comprehension of the power of the realm.

Comparatively speaking, in Coronia, among the alchemists and the rest of the spellcasters, the proportion of high-ranking members is of civilian origin. This is entirely because the cultivation of spells requires higher qualifications for the cultivators themselves. Even if it is a martial family or a high-ranking nobleman, unless there is a clear inheritance of powerful magical bloodlines (like the Arce family), there is no guarantee that each generation will produce offspring with magical affinity.

And as one of the most powerful factions in Coronia, the tentacles of the Alchemists' Guild are everywhere, and even in every place with a population of more than a thousand people, there will be a stronghold of the Alchemists' Guild (like the town of Irontree). In addition to providing the local residents with various alchemy products produced by the Alchemists' Guild, one of their main jobs is to preside over the annual spell qualification test. The test subjects were children who had reached the age of six in the year at the base and all smaller settlements in the vicinity.

Once these children are tested for a talent for spells, they are summoned by the Alchemists' Guild for the most basic apprenticeship practice.

Among them, those who can complete the apprenticeship training within one year and learn a zero-ring spell will be officially brought into the Alchemists' Guild and become the magic apprentices of the masters. Once this group of apprentices is released, they will be official alchemists around level 10, and they will also be the backbone of the next generation of the Alchemist Guild.

Because the population base of commoners far exceeds that of nobles, the number of children who are tested each year for magical talents is quite large. This also leads to the fact that in the Alchemist Guild, the faction that is close to the Koren royal family, that is, the aristocratic system of the Coronian Kingdom, is always at an unavoidable disadvantage in terms of numbers and strength compared to the faction that maintains the independence of the Alchemist Guild and keeps a distance from the Coron royal family.

The bonfire was quickly left behind by Esther and his party, and soon after, it became a distant shaking point of light.

After passing by the undead catcher's campsite for an hour and a half, a new light source appeared in front of Easter's group.

It was a huge circle that lay flat on the ground. From the circular surface, bright blue bands of light are scattered into the dark night sky. Against the backdrop of the night sky, these blue bands of light flutter slowly and gently as if they were alive.

"It's so beautiful!" Looking at the blue bands of light floating in the black night sky, the girls in the team raised their heads and let out heartfelt admiration.

"Here we are. Reynoldson looked at the glowing blue circle on the ground and said to the crowd.

"What a rare view. Esther looked at the blue bands of light that changed shape in mid-air, and couldn't help but think of the famous Northern Lights in his previous life. In his previous life, it was a wonder that could only be seen in the long dark night of the extremely cold Arctic Circle, and the scenery that appeared before his eyes now was also something that he could only be fortunate enough to see when he went deep into the center of the magical half-plane.

The corners of his mouth showed a smile worthy of his trip, and he put his hands to his lips and shouted to the girls around him, "Hey, let's have a game!

"Yes!" Alfrin was the first to respond, and as soon as she finished speaking, she sped in the direction of the portal.

"You're cunning!" Monica shouted at Alfrin's back, scurrying after her.
