Chapter 111: Namigawa Pier

The small village of Vichy was just an ordinary village, and like the small village of Luoxi where Age lived, it was not immune to such turmoil in the country. When Edge arrived, the scene was bleak. If it hadn't been for the villagers' evacuation, the village would have been destroyed.

In fact, there is nothing decent about a small village like this, at most there is some simple food. But even then, as the marauders pass by, they wreak havoc and take away anything of value - even the shovels used to dig manure pits. If they are in a bad mood, they will set fire to the village.

Therefore, the marauders are the most hated invading army.

Not everyone in the invading army is a predator. Sometimes, the invading army could not tolerate the brutality of the marauders either. But the marauders are again needed by the army. The marauders act as a good intimidator, warning those who want to resist and reducing the will of those who resist.

It can be said that the marauders carried the infamy of sin and opened a path for the invading army to 'move forward'.

Eager to find out Anne's whereabouts, Edgen did not linger, and asked directly about the marauders from a small Vichy village. Marauders who go to plunder the Forest of Aurus will certainly walk through the mountain path in front of the small village of Vichy. The villagers of the small village of Vichy should be impressed.

When asked by Aegie about the marauders, the villager clenched his fists in anger. It turned out that the marauders had plundered the village of Vichy before they left for the Forest of Orus. Seeing in Edge's eyes that he hated the marauders, the villager told him everything he knew.

After learning a few things, Aji learned that the raiders of the Bhikshu Empire had gone to the Forest of Orus not by chance, but with a purpose. There are still rumors of the Land of the Dead in the Forest of Aurus, and if you don't know the secrets, ordinary armies won't dare to enter it easily. And the marauders of the Bhikshu Empire will go in because they already know that the rumors of the Death Land of the Forest of Aurus are no longer true.

This stems from the foreknowledge of a sinister sorcerer in the Bhikshu Empire. He foresaw that there was no longer a threat to the 'Land of the Dead' in the Forest of Aurus, and sensed a young girl who was a threat to them in the Forest of Aurus. The marauders had come to capture the girl.

Edge guessed that it was Anne who the raiders were going to capture, after all, Anne was the most suitable for the girl's identity. But why did they go out of their way to arrest Anne? Anne was just an ordinary girl, and there was nothing too outstanding about her except that she was pretty. Besides, how could the wizards of the Bhikshu Empire know that Anne was a threat to them?

A flurry of speculations in his heart immediately troubled Edge.

His guess was actually quite reasonable. He didn't know that Anne was the Daughter of Punishment, and if he did, he would surely understand why the wizards of the Bhikshu Empire wanted to arrest Anne.

But it was useless to know this, the Marauders had come to the Forest of Aurus three months ago, and it was uncertain where Anne was now. And that's what Edge wants to know.

Later, he asked the villager of the Vichy village, who told him that if he wanted to find out what had happened in the Forest of Orus that day, he could go to the Namigawa Wharf at the mouth of the Nami River in the south. The reason is that there were not just one group of marauders who went to the Forest of Orus, but two.

The villagers told Aegie that the first marauders did not come out after entering the Forest of Orus. A few days later, a second group of marauders arrived. I'm afraid they're here to see what happened to the first marauders. And it turned out that something really happened to the first marauders.

The villager told Edge that he saw the second group of marauders leave the Forest of Orus, carrying the bodies of the first group of marauders. And the direction they went was Namigawa Pier.

The Namigawa River was a large river on the southern border of the Kenos Empire, connected to the Biser River in the Kingdom of Rielia. Because it is a border and because it is a large river, Namigawa Pier is an important transportation area. However, after the turmoil of the Kenos Empire, the Namigawa Pier has been controlled by the Bhikkhuno Empire.

The second group of marauders went to the Namigawa docks, presumably because it was their stronghold. If they hadn't left now, Edge could try to get there. Of course, the villagers felt that this was very dangerous for him, a member of the Kenos Empire, and that if he was exposed, he would definitely be killed.

Edge smiled at the villager's concern, thanking him for telling him so much useful information. He left a fifth-level magic crystal nucleus as a reward for the villagers, and then immediately went to the Namigawa docks.

Getting a fifth-level magic crystal nucleus, that villager was a little stunned, and he could get such a generous reward like this?

In fact, it is not a big reward, and now for Age, hunting a fifth-level demonic beast is as simple as stepping on an ant. What's more, he still has Giroud the dragon by his side.

The Namigawa Pier is now occupied by the forces of the Bhikkhuno Empire, and Aiji reckoned that a fight would inevitably break out when he got there. He knew that from now on, his battle might not be one against one, but one against a group, or even one against an army.

This situation should not be underestimated, even if he is a dragon knight. In particular, he now has a big drawback, that is, when he wants to evolve the Moros Blade, he must use Giroud's power. However, if you use Giroud's power to evolve the Moros Blade, you will not be able to use the power of the Giroud Dragon when there are many enemies.

And if the power of the Giroud Dragon is used, the Moros Blade will not be able to evolve into the Sky Breaking Greatsword, so Age's combat power will be greatly reduced. In this case, Giroud may not be able to protect him if he encounters an army, and his danger is much higher.

He thought about rejoining the army so that he would not have to worry about the danger of being attacked by a group of people. However, as he had worried about when he was in Caanster, he feared that the status of the Dragon Knight would bring danger to the army, especially now that he was being hunted down by the Holy See, which was more likely to affect the army. So he has been hesitating to rejoin the army.

If he doesn't enter the army, he must forge his own path.

In any case, it was impossible for him to join the army until he found Anne. Regardless of that, now he wanted to find a way to evolve Moros' blade without requiring Giroud to turn it into magic. He asked Giroud, who knew more about the Moros Blade than he did.

Giroud didn't expect Edge to ask such a question, and after a little thought, it knew what Edge meant. Since Aggie wanted to do that, it wasn't afraid to tell Aegie that there was a way to do it.

I remember when he first got the Moros Blade, Giroud said that there was a reading space inside the Moros Blade. This space is always absorbing magic, and once the magic unfolds in this space, it will absorb magic like a bottomless pit. And when it absorbs magic to a certain extent, it can evolve.

Giroud's own magic power is very huge, and it is by releasing the magic power and filling the reading space in the Moros Blade that the Moros Blade has evolved. Aggie wants to evolve the Moros Blade without relying on Giroud's magic, and he can undoubtedly take advantage of this.

As long as you get an item with enough mana, such as enough Crystal Nucleus, fill it into the Moros Blade. Then when the mana of the fill reaches a certain level, the Moros Blade will be able to evolve.

Aegie was thrilled to hear Giroud explain this. Knowing that there is such a way to evolve the Moros Blade, then it will be possible to evolve the Moros Blade without Giroud's magic in the future. In this way, his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

The method he wanted was actually very simple, as long as he prepared enough magic crystal nuclei and used the magic power of the magic crystal nucleus to evolve the Moros battle blade. But Giroud told him that if he used the magic of the Crystal Nucleus, then the Crystal Core he needed to prepare would be able to pile up a small mountain. After all, the magic power of the magic crystal nucleus, if it is not piled up into a small mountain, it is difficult to compare with Giroud's magic power.

So may I ask, if Edge wants to use the magic power of the magic crystal nucleus to evolve the Moros blade in the future, will he have to carry a small mountain of magic crystal nuclei with him at any time?

It's impossible to think about.

Edge had to sigh at his naïve thoughts.

Troubled all the way, he came to the Namigawa Pier.

Like most docks, the Namigawa Pier was built along the river, half for boats and half for people. It's just that now it's under the control of the Bhikkhu Empire, and it's guarded by a lot of soldiers, so the various ships and trade seem to be cautious, and I can't see any lively scenes.

"Catch her, don't let her run, cunning imp!"

Aegibon cautiously stepped into the docks, but the shouts of soldiers rang out from inside. Then he saw a group of soldiers running after two men, who were running away anxiously. Those two people gave Edge a very strange feeling, I'm afraid not only him, most people would find those two people strange.

Those two are such a bizarre combination. There was a big man, three people in size! His body was as big as a beast! If it weren't for the fact that he looked like a complete human, people would have thought he was an orc. But there are no orcs in the Eastern Continent, so this speculation is not valid.

The other person is a little girl, to be exact, a slightly short girl. She was carried by the big man on her arm, and she clung to it, trying to escape the soldiers.

But this was obviously impossible, because at this time a group of soldiers appeared in front of them. Soon, soldiers appeared all around them. They were surrounded by a mass and there was no way they could escape.

Aegie watched quietly from the crowd of onlookers, wondering what was going on.
