CHAPTER XXXVIII
The information given to Sui Xiong by the God of Redemption mainly includes the geography of the continent, some powerful beings worth paying attention to, and most importantly, the knowledge that should be known as a god. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What is a god? How to be a good god? What are the principles for building the kingdom of God? How should one choose one's own priesthood? The acquisition and use of divine power; What is the relationship between godhead and combat effectiveness? and so on.
In these cases, a new god with a divine line will inevitably receive it from his predecessors or superiors. But for those gods who are self-made on their own, it is an untold secret that is difficult to obtain. The god of salvation obviously did not hide his secrets, and taught Sui Xiong the "life experience" he had accumulated over the long years, which was rich in content, detailed records, and many extremely educational examples, which benefited him a lot.
After a few days, when he fully understood the information and memorized the more important ones, he finally crossed the stage of "unfamiliarity with life" and became a stranger who had a more accurate understanding of the world and could travel around with confidence.
Then, he took Palin and began his journey through the four towns in the northwest.
The goal of the first stop is Dragonroar - the mission to expel the dragon has a reward of 5,000 gold coins, which can be a great help for building a pioneer village!
Dragonroar is the northernmost of the four towns in the northwest, and its name comes from the evil dragon that lives in the nearby mountains and is known as the "Tyrant of Extreme Cold".
A few decades ago, before the dragon arrived, the town was known as "Hunter's Town" because the main output came from hunting in the nearby mountains, and the village was home to many professional hunters.
Although the Extreme Cold Tyrant is powerful and terrifying, its aggressive type is not very strong. Until now, the main output of Dragon Roar Town is still the hunting of demonic beasts in the mountains, and it has not been greatly affected by the presence of dragons living in the mountains.
Of course, every few years, the blue-white, scaly and cold dragon that was as smooth and cold as ice would attack the town. Its purpose is, of course, not to eat people or destroy, but to extort gold coins.
The dragon seems to have treated Dragonroar as a large ATM, the kind that doesn't require actual credentials to swipe the card with its face, and it also has an account that can be overdrawn indefinitely. Its arrogance is comparable to that of some of the best gold worshippers who go straight to a high-end restaurant on their first date and buy a set of Chanel after eating - but Longhe Town is not a domineering president with a stack of unlimited overdraft black gold cards by his side, nor is it a rich second generation who can take tens of millions of dollars to entertain casually, just an ordinary town.
For the people of this town, maybe the dragon that regularly comes to plunder is an abominable tax collector, right?
Aside from the dragon raids, Dragonroar is generally quite peaceful. The most interesting thing in the town is that there will be powerful hunters who occasionally hunt powerful monsters, and a group of people will drag the large monsters back like ants moving mountains, and break them down outside the town.
It is a famous scenery not only in the four towns in the northwest, but also in the entire continent, and there are often curious people who do not hesitate to trek through mountains and rivers to visit such a scene in Longhe Town.
When Sui Xiong and Parin arrived in town, the hunting party had just killed a ground wurm. The decomposition has been carried out until the second day, and it is expected that it will be completed in another day.
The corpse of the beast, which was probably taller than Gerald on the ground, even though dead, was placed in the huge square outside the town. The square was prepared to disassemble the prey, and it took the Church of the God of the Hunt almost ten years to complete it. The square, which is almost the size of most towns, is completely covered in blue-black stone slabs, each engraved with the emblem of the god of hunting, and enchanted through sacred rituals. As long as the prey is transported here, it will no longer decay and deteriorate, and it can slowly decompose with peace of mind. And even if the prey has already decayed slightly, you can ask the priest of the god of the hunt to restore its texture by magic—this wonderful magic is unique to the god of the hunt and is an important source of income for his church.
Looking at the corpse of the giant beast that was larger than a big house lying on the stone slab from afar, several senior hunters with sharp blades in their hands, busy dismantling it bit by bit, a group of young people next to him were laying their hands, and there were even more eager merchants waiting here with trucks, Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh.
"This place is thriving and full of energy!"
"Indeed, compared to the rest of the Four Towns, the people of Dragonroar are more confident and energetic. Probably because they have been fighting against demonic beasts all year round, and people who lack courage and self-confidence can't live in this kind of place at all. "Because Gerald had to maintain order among the pioneers and train his men at the same time, Sui Xiong's guide became Parin. The young mage had a good impression of hunters who could hunt large magical beasts with courage and wisdom, and there were many praises in his words.
Of course, he was right, but he missed an important reason: the town is attacked by dragons every few years, and the dragons are terrifyingly powerful, and those who can hold on and run away without being frightened often have developed extremely strong hearts and tenacious nerves.
I've even seen the dragon attack, what else is there to be afraid of in the world?
Therefore, the people of Longroar Town probably have a little self-defeating optimism, cheerful and cheerful, with a smile on the corner of their mouth all day long.
Heavily armed hunters can be seen everywhere on the streets here, and a reliable equipment is indispensable for hunting in the mountains infested with magical beasts, so this is also the largest weapon and armor trading place in the four towns in the northwest, as long as you have enough money in your pocket, even if it is a powerful weapon that can fight dragons, and even the legendary dragon slaying knife, it is not impossible to buy.
...... As for those who think that they can go to slay dragons with a dragon slaying knife in hand, their intelligence is so low, instead of going out to harm society, it is better to die early and be born early, and have more eyes in the next life.
"Is there really a Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife for sale here?" Hearing Palin say this, Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't it 'Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife, click to send it'?"
"What is the click, and why do you want to send the Dragon Slayer Knife?"
Sui Xiong laughed twice and urged Parin to hurry up and go to the weapon shop, he really wanted to see what the "Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife" in this world looked like.
There are several weapon shops in Dragon Roar Town, and Palin, who has been here, went directly to the largest one, and the name of this weapon shop is "Dragon Slayer Knife".
As soon as he entered, he saw a huge machete hanging from the huge pillar supporting the roof, which was wider than his body and taller than the others.
"Well, this is the Dragon Slayer. ”
The black bone bracelet on his wrist flashed with light, and Sui Xiong used his soul power to try to analyze the structure of this treasure knife, wanting to imitate it in the future.
But he soon regretted that there was nothing special about this knife, it was nothing more than that it was larger and heavier, the material was denser and stronger, and there were several magic arrays engraved on the knife body, and that's it.
"Is this knife a sample or the real thing?" he couldn't help but ask.
Parin asked the guy at the weapon shop, and he was sure that the knife was genuine, and it was definitely a dragon slayer.
So Sui Xiong carefully examined it from the inside to the outside.
Definitely an ordinary knife!
Admittedly, it is made of very good materials, the finest steel, and it is also very well built, and there is not a single bubble hidden in the blade. Sui Xiong could even clearly figure out that every hammer and every quenching that had been used to create this knife in the first place had indeed gone into a lot of thought. But just like that, can it be called a dragon slaying sword?
Could it be that it was just because of the enchantment of the blade?
There are a total of four magic effects attached to this knife, "Sharp", "Firm", and "Swift" are constant, and "Gravity Change" is temporarily activated by the user, and that's it.
With just these four magics, a large steel knife becomes a dragon slaying treasure knife?
Sui Xiong smacked his mouth: "Sure enough, when it comes to bragging, businessmen in any world are the same! What Antarctic people are not afraid of the cold, what dragon slaying treasure knife...... All the way!"
"Your Majesty, do you think this knife is a fake?" asked Parin curiously.
"How so...... If Gerald had held the knife, assuming he had used a knife in addition to an axe, he would have been able to slay dragons. But the key to slaying the dragon is not in the knife, but in Gerald. If you were to replace Rhodes's coward, even if he was given ten of these knives, he would run away with a dragon when he encountered it, and most of the time he would throw away all the knives in order to run faster!"
"In that case, this knife is actually not bad, but it is only slightly exaggerated...... "Perhaps the craftsmen who made this knife just hoped that its reputation would attract true legendary powerhouses to fight off or even kill the dragons?"
"Maybe. Sui Xiong lost interest in the exaggerated knife and turned his attention to the other weapons in the store.
If you look closely, you can see that there are actually quite a lot of weapons in this store. If you don't raise the requirements to the level of "dragon slaying", there are still a lot of good things that can be eye-catching.
For example, he quickly took a fancy to a long dagger, a dagger made of a special material called "Ice Iron", which was made sharper, stronger, faster to swing, and could create illusions when swung to confuse the enemy's vision.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't make Sui Xiong look at it differently, but this dagger also had a hidden mystery - inside it, it was inlaid with the magic core of a fire-attribute demonic beast "Red Flame Rhinoceros". Through the magic array on the dagger, a strong flame power can be activated when necessary, and the dagger becomes a buffer at this time, like the hilt of a sword.
In other words, it's not just a razor-sharp dagger with the power of ice, it's also a flaming sword when necessary. Such a change is absolutely unexpected by the enemy, and most of them can receive unexpected effects in actual combat, and it is not a problem to win in one fell swoop.
Sui Xiong's new follower, Rhodes, did not mix well, as the vice president of the Thieves' Guild, the weapon he carried with him was only a long dagger made of stainless steel with a "sharp" effect attached. The mediocre materials and not particularly clever crafting skills, even with the effect of enchantment, are far inferior to the dagger called "Ice Soul". If two weapons collide head-on, they are likely to be cut off in one fell swoop. As for the further changes and flames, it is the difference between heaven and earth, and it cannot be compared at all.
The super giant battle axe used by Gerald is not in stock here, so Sui Xiong plans to help the down-and-out Rhodes prepare a handy weapon, lest the already poor appraiser be killed by the skeleton one day.
Well, in his opinion, apart from the gods, the only creatures that can be without the prefix "poor in skill" are the narwhal whale he encountered in the sea for the time being, and the four-faced monster that he ate not long ago. According to his ideals, as his early followers, he had to at least reach that level in order to reassure him.
Although it is said that even if he is armed with a dragon slaying knife, the rookie cannot slay the dragon and will only be slaughtered by the dragon, but after all, the Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes, and it is not right to jump directly from weapon-only theory to the spiritual atomic bomb......
"Is it necessary to buy weapons for Rhodes? That guy has obviously taken refuge in Your Majesty for the sake of profit, and his faith is not pious at all!"
In his view, only piety is worthy of God's reward.
But Sui Xiong does not think so, he is an earthling, further said to be Chinese, and the Chinese attitude towards faith is "I believe in God, God will give me benefits, fair exchange". Rhodes did believe in him, and he was still campaigning for him, and he was so busy these days that he couldn't even touch the ground with his heels. Even now, he's still working around.
His efforts, Sui Xiong saw in his eyes. It's human nature to want to be rewarded.
The gods of this world require believers to give unconditionally, and only judge the level of their faith by their piety, which he does not agree with!
