Chapter 224: Ten Mile Slope
Outside the Rushing City, on a small hill ten miles to the south, in the Borderlands, which had not yet been given to a knight by the "Lord Rez", two strangers in special clothes came. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They were all hunters with a special mission, and the first of them was the one who stepped on the top of the slope with one foot on his right hand and his knee, and lowered his upper body to look at the armed farmers who were burning and cultivating land not far away, and his eyes gleamed with wealth.
Two drooping mustaches, lifted by the gentle morning breeze, fluttered back and forth at the chin, and the hard lines of his face suddenly showed a hideous smile, and he found that the armed peasants, trained in the militia and armed with only leather armor and short swords, were as weak as grouses that could be pinched to death.
Two decapitators, modeled after the legendary weapon "Shark Tooth", are stuck diagonally behind his back, but the iron gloves full of thorns and full-coverage arm guards are his favorite fighting weapons.
De Marik, the furious black knight with the title of "Bloody Executioner", is torn between making money and thirsty for killing, and in the end the latter has the upper hand.
However, the greedy black knight Etorio who traveled with him reminded his long-time partner at a critical time, warning his old friend that this time was only an informal visit, to investigate the details of Riverrun, and by the way to assess the level of force of this pioneer territory.
Faced with taming the demonic flesh transplanted into his body and transforming it into a partner of the sin of gluttony, Demaric knew that he was no opponent, and at the same time did not dare to disobey the orders of the "Black Scepter", the bloodthirsty light in his eyes was fleeting, and it was obvious that he had suppressed the murderous nature of the erection.
At the same time, the Arcane Tower in the inner city of Riverrun, due to the thriving development of the territory, Lu Bin was able to open more decks, and he was making a new attempt, in order to save on the origin of the plane, he decided to merge the natives with the cards.
Earlier, Lu Bin met the resident mercenary organization "Vulture" in the road construction competition in Blackwater Town, the elite warrior Hailey, he saved enough money to "retire" in Riverrun, and the farm he bought at a cost of favor and extra cost happened to be on the hillside where the two black knight outposts were located at this time, and the farmers who burned the wasteland and reclaimed were all "tenants" he got through his own channels.
Since it was still the period of low tide of the elements, Lu Bin felt the ubiquitous natural breath of the territory, and deliberately extracted a "Beast Spirit" from the "Shaman" deck, transformed the elite mercenary Hailey into an "entourage", and then fused the two.
"Your qualifications are very good, but it is difficult to improve again due to age, but I will give you new strength, and how much you can gain depends on your own efforts. ”
As the two cards gradually merged, the "Elite Mercenary" let out a low roar that was extremely suppressed, as if there was a terrible beast lurking in his body, and a cold breath came to his face.
Lu Bin was a little surprised, and couldn't help but smile and nodded: "The fit is very high! Mr. Haley, you have been reborn." ”
Looking through the Book of Traveling Mages, the newly-born "Beast Spirit Messenger" has four blank card slots, which can hold different beast souls, and in doing so, gain abilities that are far superior to those of ordinary people.
In addition to being happy, Lu Bin also had the idea of wanting to know the specific combat power of this experiment, so according to his own wishes, he gave the bear spirit, the wolf spirit, the eagle spirit, and the monkey spirit in advance, and used the souls of these beasts to complete the "beast spirit messenger" Haili.
As the four clusters of aura of different colors were integrated into the test product one after another, as Lu Bin expected, he forcibly pushed the senior mercenary who had entered middle age, and now the beast spirit messenger to an extraordinary rank, and his strength was equal to that of a middle-level great knight.
The middle-aged Haley came out of the gray and black smoke, felt the surging strength of all parts of his body, and at the same time sensed the vast source of the sea of "Lord Rez", and did not hesitate to step forward and kneel on one knee to swear allegiance.
Lu Bin was very satisfied with this, if he wanted to use the plane origin to extract the silver card "Beast Spirit Messenger", the degree of consumption would definitely be ten times that of the current one, although the summoned creatures were absolutely loyal, there was a fatal drawback.
That is, their spirituality and fighting instinct are quite far from the elite mercenaries who have been tempered for thousands of years, and they may be able to ignore the past when they go on the offensive in groups, but fighting alone is a weakness or flaw.
"There are two targets, you still have to hurry up and familiarize yourself with the abilities I have given you, go to the fighting tower now to move your hands and feet, and I will send someone to call you over later. ”
The beast spirit messenger Haley then got up and retired, leaving the top floor of the mage tower without hesitation, passing through the stone spiral staircase to the third floor to the secondary tower, known as the "arena", where he competed with wooden stakes, dummies, and stone statues, sharpening his newly acquired minions.
Later, Lu Bin summoned the "entourage" Nina Wilder, a noble girl who wanted to prove herself, with fiery love burning in her eyes.
"Nina, for the most important spring ploughing, in order to lay a solid foundation for the territory, most of the manpower of Riverrun City has been scattered, and now the defense force is seriously insufficient, and you can't continue to be leisurely. ”
The aristocratic girl immediately straightened up and said nothing, for it was useless to say more, but puffed up her chest and raised her proud chin, like an upright man, willing to take on his own duties.
"You're not bad, but you're far from me, and even if you spend most of your free time honing your skills, the speed at which you're improving is a bit disappointing. As for now, in order to weed out the outsiders who are peeking at Riverrun, I will make an exception and give you new abilities. ”
Nina Wild was surprised and delighted, after all, it was always a very embarrassing thing to be told the truth, and secondly, she was gifted by the "legendary mage", she inexplicably felt that she was valued, so she had something to look forward to.
The "Blade of Doom" that Lu Bin drew from the "Epic Hero" deck is actually a set containing weapons, armor, and special abilities, and it is indeed the right combination to fuse it with the resolute girl of the "retinue" who is almost a tabula rasa.
Nina Wild knew that "Lord Rez" would not harm her, and whether it was thunder or rain and dew, she opened her heart to Lu Bin's gift.
When the "Blade of Doom" fused with it perfectly, a short dagger of snake blades wrapped with ominous shadows appeared in the girl's hand, and the thin clothes burst instantly, and the fragments fell one after another, and seven silver-white scaly poisonous snake phantoms surrounded her, and the skin was stimulated to emerge with metallic shield scales, which were immediately combined into a full-coverage armor.
The girl's long pale blonde hair was also affected by the magic attached to the suit, dyed with the sunset red of impatiens petals, and the locks fell down one by one, like leaves with their own natural curls.
Lu Bin was quite surprised by the scene of "bursting shirts" just now, the spring light on the girl's body is infinitely better, but it is a pity that she is not of the same heart as herself. He put away his wandering reverie and flipped through the Book of Traveling Mages, and found that even after fusing the hero set of the "Blade of Doom", Nina Wilder still did not break through to the transcendent rank.
"It's a pity, but there's still a chance, after all, Nina, you're very young, and you have time to accumulate. To be honest, if you don't step into the transcendent realm, you won't even have any use value. ”
The girl covered in armor knew very well that she seized the opportunity last time, selected a few excellent seedlings from the members of the porter's guild, and learned a lot of skills from the dwarven craftsmen, which was the main reason for the "Lord Rez" to make an exception, but unfortunately her qualifications were not enough to meet the requirements.
"Your Excellency, I will do my best, hoping to be an indispensable right and left hand by your side, just like Archon Oryk Tyrese. ”
Lu Bin was noncommittal: "I hope so! Then I'll wait and see." ”
After Nina Wild got up, Lu Bin casually ordered: "You go to the Vice-Tower Arena and call the retired mercenary Haley over." Be careful, his minions are sharp. ”
When the girl heard the mention of "Mage Rez", her heart suddenly moved, and she knew that Your Excellency had not forgotten the past feelings, but was only heartbroken by his own stupid behavior.
Nina Wild bowed away, and Lu Bin was still in his place, checking the hostile targets in the area around Riverrun through the Book of Traveling Mages.
Later, Nina Wild, who was slightly bruised at the corner of her eye, walked in, followed by the "Beast Spirit Messenger" Haley with an indifferent face, as if nothing had happened in the fighting tower just now, because the elite mercenaries who had experienced a hundred battles knew very well that the girl in front of her would not complain to anyone.
However, he soon began to panic, because the "Lord Rez", who was sitting on a high-backed stone seat and flipping through the magic book, was very surprised by the injury to the corner of the girl's eye, and took the initiative to stand up and come over to care.
Only then did Haley know the relationship between the two, although his face remained unchanged, but a dense cold sweat broke out behind his back, he was really frightened, and at the same time secretly annoyed, he was so obsessed with the beast ability that he had obtained, and he almost didn't hurt the girl.
Lu Bin's warm words of condolences made Nina Wild, who was not strong enough to suppress the "Beast Spirit Messenger", gain a dominant position led by her.
"I'll have to take control of Riverrun, the heart of the Pioneer Realm. As for the enemy on the periphery, it is inconvenient for me to attack, so the two spies located about ten miles south of the city will be handed over to you to deal with. ”
Lu Bin turned around and returned to his original position: "Be careful, their strength is good." Also keep in mind that if it's not an opponent and retreat, I'll send reinforcements. ”
Nina Wild, the blade of doom, and the beast spirit messenger Haley immediately bowed down, but Lu Bin estimated that they would definitely not retreat until they heard what they had just said.
