CHAPTER XXXI
Heading southeast along the tundra wasteland, the scenery in front of you gradually becomes more prosperous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is less moss on the ground, more shrubs and weeds, more and more creatures in the grasses, more and more variety, more encounters with the Northlanders, and more herders.
When the soil under his feet was finally no longer frozen ground, Sui Xiong saw a very clear line.
The dividing line between steppes and permafrost.
It was a wonderful sight, as if there was an invisible hand between heaven and earth, dividing this reckless wasteland in two, the barren tundra wasteland in the north, and the endless steppes in the south, from the wasteland to the grassland, often only a few steps away.
Sui Xiong flew up in the air, staring at this spectacular scene with fascination, and felt a lot more relaxed.
He grabbed a handful of weeds from his side, turned them into paper with a spell, and then turned a bush into charcoal and painted on it.
After drawing for more than half an hour in one go, a landscape sketch has jumped onto the paper.
Of course, Sui Xiong's painting is the scene he sees at this moment, because of the enhancement of strength and the sharpness of perception, his painting skills have unconsciously made great progress, and when he concentrates on painting, he doesn't feel it, and when he looks at it after the painting is finished, he is startled.
"I think this painting can be used as a model or a textbook in a school or something......" Looking at his work, he couldn't help muttering, "If I can go back to Earth, or maybe I can really become a painter directly, right?"
"When the time comes, I will specialize in painting all kinds of landscapes, and a painting will sell it for two million!"
He thought about it, and shook his head again: "Two million is impossible, I don't know the gangsters, and people don't need to ask me to help launder money, where can I get nervous and smash a huge amount of money on my paintings...... But two million can't be sold. 200,000 is still okay? No matter how bad it is, it should be at least 20,000 ......."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered a joke.
When he was in college, there was a classmate in his class who wrote online novels, and he was both an author and a reader. One day the brother said indignantly. An author he likes, which hasn't been updated in months.
"I've written 400,000 words, and I'm wondering how he should write 140,000 words! 140,000 doesn't, at least 40,000 should be; 40,000 doesn't, or 4,000, and finally I'll update a chapter or two...... I couldn't help but ask him, only to find out that this bastard was busy playing games, eating and drinking every day, and only wrote four words in total!"
I remembered this interesting story. Sui Xiong couldn't help but shake his head and smile, missing his hometown a little more.
Putting away the paper, he stepped on the soft grass and walked towards the depths of the grassland.
This grassland was called the "savage steppe" by bards and scholars, but the commoners and adventurers preferred to call it the "Great Wilderness". It is home to orcs and half-orcs, and is the only empire in the entire main plane.
Orc Empire.
Dominating one side can be called king, and only by dominating one clan can he be called emperor, and the main plane is very large and there are many races. But there are only two people who are really qualified to be called "emperors".
One is the lord of the dragon family. All dragons are at least nominally subservient to his demigod powerhouse, the Golden Dragon Emperor. The other is the Lord of the Orcs, the emperor who rules the entire Great Wilderness, the legendary powerhouse, and the Emperor of the Wilderness.
At least seventy percent of the orcs and more than half of the half-orcs of the entire main plane live in the Great Wilderness, and this is the only place where they have their own country. It is the Orc Empire that rules this great wilderness. Every once in a while, these savage creatures will attack east and south because of a lack of resources, or more simply a thirst for violence and blood.
To the east of the Orc Empire is the Kingdom of the Holy Angels, which is a fairly powerful country. Belief in the sun god is the state religion. There are an astonishing number of priests in the country, and they have extraordinary resilience in battle, no matter how the orc empire attacks, they can firmly hold the defense line, and they have never been taken advantage of by the orcs.
To the south of the Orc Empire is the Eagle Kingdom, which is the oldest human country in the main plane, with a prosperous domestic martial arts and a cloud of masters. The country is also one of the few countries that revere the belief in knightly gods, and the triennial Continental Knight Tournament always attracts knights from all over the continent. Whether it is a show-oriented aristocratic knight or a combat-oriented adventure knight, they can all be honored with their skills. There are often people who become famous here, from obscurity, to a well-known powerhouse in the continent.
Unlike the Divine Angel Kingdom, which blindly takes a defensive position, the Eagle Kingdom does not show weakness in the face of the Orc Empire, and fights back and forth with them. Basically, every three or five years, they would launch a large army and launch an attack on the orc empire. On the one hand, it is to eliminate hidden dangers, and on the other hand, it is also to show force.
However, since the ******** of the "blood-stained eagle crown" eighteen years ago, the high-ranking knights of the Eagle Kingdom have suffered many casualties, and even after a generation, this loss has not been fully compensated. In recent years, they have been at a disadvantage in the war with the Orc Empire, and they are very passive.
According to Sui Xiong's plan, he would not pass through the Eagle Kingdom until he turned back, and now he was just passing through the Orc Empire and heading towards the Divine Angel Kingdom.
Walking on the grasslands is a lot of fun, especially when night falls, when the sky is full of stars and dotted with a huge canopy, which is then directly fastened to the earth, and you can clearly see the boundary between the starry sky and the earth, almost like the sea level.
The night belongs to all kinds of ferocious wild creatures, whether they are fierce beasts, demonic beasts, or orcs, it makes no difference.
Anyway, no matter what it is, in short, it's all about killing as the main profession, almost.
Sui Xiong lay on the grass and looked up at the starry sky, comparing it with the starry sky of the earth in his impression, trying to find some similarities. But he searched for a long time, but finally couldn't find a relatively large commonality, so he could only sigh gloomily, and casually turned the weeds that had begun to wither and yellow around him into a grass blanket and wrapped his body.
He's not afraid of the cold, but he can sleep with a blanket.
However, this sleep did not last long, and in the middle of the night he suddenly felt something powerful approaching, and he was awakened.
The powerful aura that made him feel a little uneasy came from a warrior in light half-body armor, an orc, a lionman to be exact, a golden mane that shimmered brightly in the starlight, reflecting the surroundings brightly. He carried a large sword on his shoulder, and there was no elaborate ornamentation on it, but the magical brilliance of the blade proved that it was nothing but extravagant, but the maker did not like luxury.
Sui Xiong sensed the aura of this lion man with some doubts, and he always felt as if he had seen this person somewhere.
When the man approached, he suddenly came to his senses, and shouted with a smile: "Good evening, Iron Lion!"
"Iron Lion" is another name for Morani, the main god of the barbarian gods, this orc-born god is a well-known ranger on the continent, and likes to wander around and fight unevenly - somewhat similar to the god of justice, except that he is much more reliable than the god of justice, so he is more popular.
Shortly after Sui Xiong set foot on land, he received his favor. At that time, if it wasn't for him to take shelter, facing the patron saint of the Night God System who was sleepless, Sui Xiong would probably have suffered a big loss.
Sui Xiong is a person who will repay if he has a favor and revenge, and he has always wanted to repay after receiving Morani's favor, but this iron lion has no fixed place to live, and he is always wandering around like the god of justice, and Sui Xiong has not yet been officially canonized as a god, so he can't contact him through the Pantheon, so he can only wait for the opportunity.
He's lucky, now is a good chance!
However, what made Sui Xiong a little helpless was that Morani had long forgotten what had happened.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the world, done many chivalrous and righteous things, helped many people in need, and fought many times with all kinds of evil things, and the matter of a small village in a forest of ashes is really not worth it to his heart.
But in fact, it is impossible to truly forget completely. Mortals can use their subconscious minds to write down everything they have seen in their lives, and the gods can only remember more things.
Sui Xiong reminded him slightly, and he remembered what happened at the beginning, and greeted Sui Xiong with a smile.
The two sides chatted for a while, and the god, who was a little late-aware, became friends with Sui Xiong.
He was bold and free-spirited, and he spoke very bluntly, and although he was slightly devoid of etiquette, he had an innocent charm that made it easy to believe his words. And he didn't ask for reciprocation for his kindness, and he didn't even remember it in his heart, such a noble character also amazed Sui Xiong.
Morani didn't confuse the unlucky jellyfish he saved with the powerful nature god who killed the two gods in the first battle, after all, although both were jellyfish, the gap was too big, it was like a wooden sword and an iron sword, which were essentially different.
When they talked about Sui Xiong's experience over the years, he couldn't help but be surprised.
And when Sui Xiong said that he was running the playground, he was even more surprised, and he had an interesting idea.
"The labyrinth under your playground is actually a training ground for adventurers, isn't it?" he said with interest, "and why not use this training ground to train your Church Knights?"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, only to find that there was indeed a blind spot in his thinking, and he couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"I'll get it when I get back...... Fortunately, there is no rush in this matter. ”
Morani nodded slightly, Sui Xiong was right, for the gods, there was really nothing to call in a hurry.
"If you don't mind, can you have my followers go to the underground labyrinth for training?" He said, "My followers often have conflicts with those who are messing around underground, and it would be helpful to give them some special training." ”
"What's wrong with this! Wrap it up on me!" Sui Xiong clapped his chest with a bang, "Training, room and board, and learning and meeting!" )
