Chapter 346: Master Herman
On the second day, bidding farewell to the Fergus family, Gray, with a large amount of food and water in the purple ring, left Fergus Castle on foot.
Although there is still no news of the King's Graveyard being opened so far, there is no telling when it will be opened, so naturally the sooner you rush over, the more likely you are to get benefits.
So Gray didn't choose to ride in a carriage or on horseback.
Today, the fastest way for him to get there is not to ride a horse, but to run on his own two legs.
He ran at full speed, which was unattainable for any horse, and although it was impossible to run at full strength because of the long distance, it was definitely much faster than a horse running at full strength.
Of course, a barbarian powerhouse actually relied on his legs to hurry, such a thing is a bit "cheap", but there is no way, compared with the treasures in the king's cemetery, this loss of face is nothing.
Of course, in his heart, he once again remembered the good bloodline of birds and blood beasts.
Flapping a pair of wings condensed by the power of blood and flying in the sky, that is the posture that a strong man should have.
With his current strength as a brute blood warrior, even if the blood power transformation consumes a lot, it is enough to withstand it for a long time.
In fact, he hunted one of the blood beasts with the ability to fly, and that was the Ghost Blade Mantis.
The other party has wings and can fly, but the speed is indeed very slow, after all, the ghost knife mantis is obviously not the type of blood beast that is good at flying, and the speed is not as fast as running.
On the trade route, a caravan of several dozen people moved slowly, surrounded by highly guarded mercenaries, and in the middle was the goods.
In the carriage, the boss, who was the owner of the goods, looked nervous, and almost all his belongings were smashed on these goods, and if he was robbed, he would immediately go bankrupt.
Whew-
Suddenly, a whistling sound whistled past their caravan, and the wind howled, and the whole caravan was thrown into chaos.
Ang –
The horse screamed in horror, directly frightened, and lay on the ground, the mercenary looked around in a cold sweat, just now they felt an inexplicable wind blowing, but suddenly disappeared again.
It was a long time before the riots were stopped and the ranks slowly returned to normal.
"Captain, that was just ...... What? It was so fast that it passed us at once. ”
A young mercenary wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked a middle-aged mercenary.
The middle-aged mercenary's face was solemn, and after a moment of silence, he said with a slightly shocked expression.
"Alone!"
"What, it's actually a human ......?"
The surrounding mercenaries and even the caravan couldn't help but gasp.
How strong will a person who is so fast that they can't see clearly how strong will it be?
Blood Warrior, or Berserker?
Fortunately, such people are just passing by, not trying to attack the team, otherwise they have no other choice than to surrender their weapons.
This man was Gray who was on the road.
Along the way, Gray flew like a fly, sometimes along a trade route, sometimes through the forest, or through the wilderness, all in order to arrive in the shortest possible time.
In the process, people were alarmed, and many birds and beasts were alarmed.
Like this caravan, there are not a few caravans that have been alarmed.
Many animals were alarmed, fled in panic, crashed into trees and stones, and passed out.
A few days later, a vast desert appeared in front of Gray, and as far as the eye could see, it was all yellow sand, and there was no end in sight.
During this period, the wind howled, and the earthy yellow wind flew all over the sky, one after another.
This is exactly the Golden Desert.
Coming here, he stopped, and instead walked towards the side of the Golden Desert.
There, there is a slightly dilapidated town, which is a hundred or two hundred years old, judging by the old age of the houses.
Along the way, he barely entered the town, and it was not clear how the King's Graveyard was now, whether it had been opened, and he wanted to enter it to find out the news.
Entering the town, Gray unexpectedly found that there were many people in battle uniforms in the town, and some of them were wearing battle uniforms, which were not of low grade, and they knew that their identities and strength were not simple at a glance.
"Is it because of the king-level powerhouse cemetery?"
Gray quickly figured out why.
There was no need to inquire at all, just walk on the streets of the town, and the news about the king's graveyard kept coming to Gray's ears.
In the town, almost all of them are talking about the king's cemetery.
"It really deserves to be the cemetery of a king-level powerhouse, even after hundreds of years, the rune mechanism that guards the cemetery is still working."
"Who said it wasn't, some time ago, there were several berserker warriors who wanted to rely on their strength to break through, but as a result, they triggered the rune mechanism, and they were directly turned into ashes by the thunder and lightning generated by the rune mechanism."
"There are also three barbarian blood warriors, who also want to break in, one died on the spot, although two did not die, but they were also seriously injured, I heard that the family of these three barbarian powerhouses has withdrawn from the battle for the king's grave."
……
Fortunately for Gray, the King's Graveyard has not been opened, and the treasure in the King's Graveyard has still not been obtained.
But it also made Gray extremely worried, the power of the rune mechanism in the King's Graveyard was stronger than he imagined.
The berserker was directly electrocuted to ashes, and even the brute warrior was killed and seriously injured, and had to withdraw from the battle for the king's graveyard.
Although his defense was much stronger than that of a normal blood warrior, he was still not sure to break in with his strong defense.
The three brute warriors who broke through before had only touched the outermost layer of the King's Graveyard, and they had already suffered casualties without approaching the interior at all.
It is conceivable that deeper down, the power of the rune mechanism will inevitably be stronger, even with his metalized defense, I am afraid it will be difficult to carry it.
"The Oka family came, forced their way in, and a brute blood warrior was injured."
"The Marquis of Valen's family is also here, but there is still no way to take the rune mechanism of the King's Grave."
"The Duke Addison's family came, sent a strong man to break through, and finally retreated, only slightly injured."
"Duke Kenneth's family also came, sent a strong man to try it, and also retreated with minor injuries."
……
Many of the upper-class noble families of the Purple Moon Kingdom had already sent people to arrive, but there was still no family that could force their way into the cemetery, not even the Duke family.
The rune mechanism outside the King's Graveyard is unimaginably powerful, although it can't be compared to the attack of a king-level powerhouse, but it is not something that a brute-blood-level existence can break through, and even a blood-level existence may be difficult to break through.
It is rumored that the Duke Addison family and the Duke Kenneth family who forcibly broke into the King's Graveyard should have reached the strength of the Wild Blood Warriors, but they were still forced to retreat before they arrived at the King's Graveyard.
"Fortunately, the Neham family didn't send anyone because of border frictions."
To Gray's slight relief, the Neham family did not send anyone over because of the friction between the border and the Flame Kingdom, and war would break out at any time.
Although he had already had this speculation before he came, when it was really confirmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he can't compete with a behemoth like the Duke of Neham's family for the time being, and if the other party is here, he may have no choice but to give up.
"I really don't know how to get into this king's cemetery, I can't break in, and I can't crack it."
Someone sighed.
"Yes, a family invited a rune master and wanted the rune master to crack these rune mechanisms, but it took more than 10 days to crack it, and it didn't work at all."
Someone answered.
"Your news is outdated, I see that the king's graveyard is not far from being opened!"
Someone said with a mysterious smile.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, according to reliable sources, the Duke Addison's family has invited Master Herman, and Master Herman is on his way!"
"Master Herman? The Addison family actually invited Master Herman? ”
Someone looked surprised.
"Master Herman was invited!"
Even Gray was surprised.
Master Herman, even in the entire Purple Moon Kingdom, is also an extremely famous rune master.
He is extremely good at the art of rune organs, and many big families will invite him to build rune mechanisms when they build secret rooms and even castles, and even the royal family has invited him to help build rune mechanisms.
His attainments in the rune mechanism can be called the best in the Purple Moon Kingdom, if you say who is most likely to crack the rune mechanism of the king's graveyard in the Purple Moon Kingdom, it is none other than him.
However, this rune master, because of his age, has rarely made a move in the past ten years, and he didn't expect the Addison family to invite him, I'm afraid he paid a lot of price.
After a night's rest in the town, on the second day, Gray prepared to set off for the graveyard of the dead.
"Brother, you also want to go to the King's Cemetery, right? Together, we can take care of it. ”
As Gray walked out of the town towards the Golden Desert, a young aristocratic man dressed in aristocratic clothes and with thick eyebrows said enthusiastically.
Next to him, there were more than a dozen people, both men and women, several of whom were all dressed in aristocratic costumes, obviously children of noble families, and some were guards and mercenaries.
"No, you don't."
Gray shook his head and refused, he didn't like to act with strangers, after all, acting with strangers not only had to guard against the dangers that would appear at any time, but also needed to guard against the people around him.
"Don't, brother, there are mercenaries in our team who are familiar with the desert terrain, and it will be dangerous to get lost in the desert."
The aristocrat, with thick eyebrows, hurriedly said.
"And there are sand pirates in the desert, and it's dangerous to walk alone."
Eventually, Gray agreed to the nobleman's invitation.
It's not because of the sand bandits, but it's really a little worried, whether you will get lost in the desert, after all, the desert terrain is generally quite similar, and because of the wind and sand, the terrain often changes, even if you have a map in your hand, you don't dare to guarantee that you won't get lost.
