Esther never understood why the eldest princess and Valentina would go out of their way to help Mora Goult create a new identity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It wasn't until a later conversation that Esther learned from Mora Gault, who had changed her name to Mordell at the time, that much of the information she had provided to the eldest princess was about the absolute secrecy of the Pervas family. These secrets can only be known to the Gault family, who have served the Pervas family for more than a thousand years.
As the most prestigious nobleman in Coronia after the royal family, the Duke's family of Pervas has almost as long as the history of Coronia. The ancient rules of exploration of the Plane that have been passed around the world gave the family the first to discover the golden waterway of the Pervas River. For fifty centuries, every ship that sailed on the Pervas River paid a portion of the fee as a tribute to the Pervas family, the nominal owners of the river. With such a stable income, and without having to spend a lot of money to maintain an army, the Pervas family has accumulated a huge amount of wealth.
The Pervas family, who took the Koren family as a role model, naturally invested this wealth in independent plane exploration. Their greatest wish is to have a plane with a name such as Pervasnia.
For this reason, the Pervas family has always put the establishment of their own family's Void fleet in the first place of development.
While all dockyards that can craft large Void Ships are under the control of the Crown, small and medium-sized Void Ships can be crafted in many of the more rudimentary environments. Coupled with the abundance of magic wood and the unique source energy crystal technology in Coronia, the basic performance of many Coronian medium-sized Void Ships is even better than that of many large Void Ships made by different planes.
These medium-sized Void Ships would be half the effort if they were used for dimensional migration, but they would be enough for dimensional trade of valuables. Through these uncontrolled trades, the Pervas family reaped great gains, but also left huge hidden dangers. The biggest hidden danger is to expose the Void coordinates of Coronia.
To date, the number of medium-sized Void Ships that the Pervas family has built can only be estimated for the royal family. In line with the views of the royal family, who also practiced the Void Trade, the Pervas family was aware early on that the bountiful Coronia was receiving a lot of malicious attention. But unlike the royal family, which is bent on strengthening the Void Fleet, it seems that the Pervas family intends to slip away.
The Pervas family seems to have discovered a suitable plane for survival. For the last hundred years, they have recruited 10,000 men from Coronia every year to transport them out of Coronia.
This made the royal family very dissatisfied. Because the total population of Coronia is the biggest shortcoming of the key elements of warfare in all planes. The Kingdom's policy of encouraging fertility has been in place for thousands of years, but population growth has been slow. In this regard, the various hexapod reptiles, which are native to Coronia, are the largest contributor to population loss. In the early days of the Pioneer Era, many human settlements were destroyed by large hordes of carnivorous ancient wurms.
There seems to be a will in the darkness that drives these ancient wurms to attack every human who approaches Lin Hai.
This situation continued until the opening of the Gushan Pass. People no longer blindly expand to Linhai, but turn to the development of Gushan. This has greatly controlled the rate of destruction of the forest and reduced the incidence of beast attacks to less than one percent.
Many people don't understand what this is for. But the truly strong understand that this is a compromise between the strong people of the forest and them.
In this way, the population of Coronia has risen from hovering around 10 million to more than 45 million now.
Now, the Pervas family is like a population black hole, constantly siphoning people out of Coronia. These people are high-quality people who have undergone the basic six-year compulsory education of the Kingdom of Coronia, and with a little training, they can be qualified for many professional jobs.
For the Coron royal family, how to control the centrifugal force of the Pervas family is a key issue facing now. As the leader of the aristocracy, once the current Duke of Pervas, Duke Juniels Pervas, is the first to signal to flee without a fight at the critical juncture of war, it will be a great blow to the will of all the military nobles in the entire Coronia.
For the royal family, the most important thing now is to find out the details of the Pervas family. Know where they are moving their population and resources. Only when you know this information can you make an effective response.
The Gauds family, to which Mora Gaud belongs, has been following the Pervas family for more than a thousand years. What this family does best is business. The commercial network spans the entire country of Coronia and several adjacent planes. In the Pervas family, the Gault family has always been in charge of internal material allocation. If anyone knows best about the situation of the new planes discovered by the Pervas family and the number of Void fleets, it is the Gault family, who is always responsible for supplying the various units of the Pervas family.
As the only legendary powerhouse born in the Gault family for thousands of years, Mora Gault has long been designated as a member of the presbytery of the Gault family. All the secrets that the Gault family holds are open to her.
So, although the Gault family had been wiped out twelve years earlier, the information they had was no longer outdated. Mora Gault, who was able to provide this information, was naturally a strange commodity.
But that's not what East cares about right now. What he wanted to do most now was to help Mora Gault find a suitable weapon.
"Mora?" What weapons are you used to?
For a legendary powerhouse, even with his bare hands, he can be a hundred. But if your opponent is just as strong, a handy weapon can be of great help.
Mora Gault is an arcane knight. It is a profession that is both powerful in magic and martial arts, and only those who are naturally smart and strong have the potential to become Arcane Knights. Moreover, the inheritance of the Arcane Knight has always only been circulated among some top noble families, and ordinary military nobles, such as Sonya's West family, have no access to this powerful professional inheritance at all.
Mora Gault clenched his fists and felt his long-lost power recharge into every corner of his body.
"I'm an Arcane knight, and I don't use weapons to be long and heavy, but more focused on protecting myself. So it's best if there is a shield. As for weapons, long and short swords, maces, clubs, and even daggers and fist swords can be used. ”
"You're really not picky. Esther said, looking at Valentina. It means to ask this legendary powerhouse if there is a suitable weapon.
Valentina shook her head. "Don't look at me, I never carry a secondary weapon. I only have a big knife. ”
"Then I'll look for it. But I don't really have any good weapons here. ”
Esther said as he pulled out the contents of his weapon bracelet one by one.
Most of the contents of his bracelet had already been distributed to the people in the deep valley. Now the bracelet only has trophies from the next few battles. Mostly short swords and catapults used by underground gnomes.
Looking at these things, Esther felt sweat run through his head. Anyway, the assault on the Green Cross Temple is about to take place, and Mora Gott can't be allowed to use these!
He hurriedly went to renovate the two storage belts he had harvested, hoping to find a nice weapon.
The first belt belonged to the Shadow Mage, and it contained nothing that could be used as a weapon, except for a depleted staff that could be used to knock people.
The second belt belonged to William, who was covered in bruises. Esther opened his belt and searched carefully. Compared to the shadow mage's empty storage belt, William's belt was full. Esther had to go through the past piece by piece to find out what it was. This was also because none of these things had been put in by Easter, so he couldn't take them out at a thought.
In an inconspicuous corner of the belt, Esther found a black dagger. And that's the only thing in this belt that can be called a weapon. This type of black dagger was extremely common among the Green Cross cultists, and the slightly higher level cultists were almost always in their hands.
He didn't care to take out the dagger, tossed it casually, and stuck it on a table in the hole.
This table was left by the cultists, and it is unknown how long it was used. The table top was covered with a thick layer of greasy dirt.
When the dagger stabbed into the table, it didn't make the loud sound that Esther had expected, but a pop. The next moment, the dagger pierced the entire table and fell to the ground, and the greasy dirt on the surface of the table steamed and melted as if it were boiling, emitting a pungent odor.
"Poof!" Valentina, who was drinking on the side, smelled a strange smell and vomited all the wine in her mouth. Luckily, Mora Gault was able to use his wind-making technique in time to blow the smell out of the cave.
"What the hell is this?" Valentina noticed the dagger that Esther had pulled. She felt a little nervous as she touched her shoulder-length blue hair and recognized the dagger.
"You've got it! It's a good weapon. ”
"Do you recognize this dagger?" Esther walked over and picked it up, looking through it carefully. But no matter how you look at it, there is nothing special about this dagger. He handed the dagger to Mora Gault.
"This dagger is a bit odd, so be careful when you use it yourself. ”
Maura Gault didn't speak. She took the dagger and ran a hand over its surface. Her hands emitted a bright, soft purple glow. As the light shone, the dagger underwent a strange transformation. The dagger, which had been dark and dull, turned into a dagger-like weapon that shimmered green.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Esther swore he had never seen a dagger of this shape. The dagger had a tower-like structure of ten regular triangles of the same size. Its grip is a hollow cylinder. In each of the triangles, there are magical etchings of strange shapes.
"This should be a spear tip from an alien plane. Mora Gault looked at the weapon.
"This spear is long enough. Okay, give it a short handle, and I'll use it as a short spear.
I've decided, and I'll call it the Tip of Withered. ”
