Chapter 124: Iris
In the camp, Ryan's men were happily reveling around the campfire, because Ryan distributed the thousands of gold coins he had harvested today as a reward.More than 90 people, those who participated in today's adventure, those who stayed in the camp, and the non-combatants were all reasonably distributed according to their own circumstances, and the average of 30 gold coins per person was calculated, which is not a small amount, enough for a family of four to enjoy for 2 years.
Although he experienced danger when fighting with those poisonous spiders, but the existence of Ryan made this danger almost dangerous, except for the unlucky guy who was killed in a sneak attack by the Spider Queen with a face, the others were nothing more than poisoned and injured, with Moses's rich experience in mercenary rescue, and with the magic of Priest Rochelde, these people just suffered a little, and their lives were not in danger.
Of course, the biggest gain today belongs to Ryan himself. An amethyst, a set of Mithril armor, and the poison sac and spider gland of the human-faced spider queen also belonged to him. Needless to say, the poison sac contains highly poisonous juice, which can be used to make a poison that seals the throat with blood, or it can be used as a raw material to make a powerful killing weapon, as long as it is used properly, it can allow a person who does not know martial arts and magic at all to kill a powerful opponent.
And the spider gland is a good thing that is hard to find, the spider silk of the human-faced spider queen is tough and strong, and elastic, this silvery-white spider silk is extremely elastic, it is an extremely precious magic material, its solidity is comparable to the mythril wire, but it is softer than the mythril wire, can be bent at will, and can be made into any shape by the maker.
What's more, after special treatment, this spider silk can be spun into cloth like wool and made into clothes to wear on the body, this kind of clothing made of spider silk and mythril silk is not only very strong, but also lighter, more convenient to bless the magic circle.
As for the amethyst, Ryan has already made up his mind to make a magic ornament for Barbara to help her improve her strength as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a gift from Ryan, the teacher, to his first student.
What bothered Ryan the most was the set of Mithril armor, being able to make full-body armor with Mithril was a luxury, as far as Ryan knew, only the Holy Knights of the Royal Knights on the continent had such equipment, but that was slowly achieved in 200 years with the strength of the whole country.
Now this set of Mithril armor that Ryan got is just an ordinary set of armor, and there is no magic array on it at all, which inevitably only exerts the light and strong characteristics of Mithril, but it completely consumes Mithril's pro-magic, which is really a huge Lang fee. Ryan had thought about melting this set of Mithril armor and mixing it with steel to make armor for Vivien's personal guards, but after thinking about it, no matter how good the equipment of those personal guards was, they couldn't get rid of the fact that their personal combat effectiveness was low, and even if they were given the equipment of the Holy Knights, I am afraid that the final result would be to cheapen their enemies.
So Ryan finally decided to find a new owner for the Mithril armor, and Ryan thought of Adela without much thought. Adela herself is a warrior, she can not only command the battle, but also lead the team to charge, her own martial arts skills are not bad, with the protection of this set of Mithril armor, I believe that her strength can be greatly enhanced.
And Ryan will take Vivien to the imperial capital after a while, as the supreme power holder left behind, Adela's own safety is quite important, Ryan believes that with this set of Mithril armor, Adela will definitely get the most perfect protection. And when Adela learned that Ryan gave him this set of Mithril armor, he excitedly hugged Ryan and kissed him on the face.
As a warrior, Adela certainly knew what a good set of armor meant, and the value of a small piece of Mithril was already terrifying, and just a Mithril ingot that could make a dagger was worth ten thousand gold, not to mention the armor in front of him. Adela had been warm for Vivien's armor for a long time, but she also knew that this kind of thing was something that could be met but not sought, so she had to hide her envy in the bottom of her heart.
For Adela with a smile on her face, the only thing she regrets now is that time is a little tight, it has been less than 2 months since Ryan set off for the imperial capital, and now the adventure has just begun, and it is not clear when it will end, if it can't re-forge the armor before Ryan leaves, then it won't get the opportunity for Ryan to draw the magic array himself, whether there is a magic array on a set of armor or not is two completely different situations.
Although they didn't get anything particularly valuable from the loot, Moses and Nancy still smiled because they got the corpse of the human-faced spider queen, and although the most precious thing on the corpse was taken by Ryan, it still had its own value, which was the bounty in Seabreeze City.
As long as the corpse can be safely transported back to Seabreeze City, the prestige of the Sword and Rose Mercenaries can immediately rise to a higher level, although it is still not comparable to the first Storm Mercenary Group, but it can re-shake off several mercenary groups such as Rock, who have been aggressive behind them in recent years, and firmly determine their second throne.
It was a happy day, so while his men were partying around the campfire, Ryan and the others sat in their tents enjoying the delicious food and were ready to discuss their plans for the next day's adventure. Adela had planned to put on the Mithril armor on the spot, but she changed her mind after Ryan's persuasion, after all, the armor had not been fully evaluated, and Ryan could not guarantee that there were no problems with it.
There are many magic items that can improve a certain ability of the user, but at the cost of reducing the user's other ability, and there are even some magic items that have a curse directly on them, and the user will be affected once they wear them, such as the legendary artifact "Grail of Life".
This powerful artifact can provide a steady stream of magical energy to the user, allowing the user to release high-level magic to their heart's content, but it comes at the cost of the user's life, and by the time the user realizes it, he is already terminally ill and has no way to regret it.
So although Adela was overjoyed, he obediently put the set of Mithril armor aside, just kept turning it over and over again, and slowly imagined how majestic he would be after wearing it, and Adams, who was sitting on the side and was smiling at his daughter, suddenly saw the logo on his daughter's set of Mithril armor, and he shouted: "This is the logo of Iris!"
Lane immediately came over and asked Adams, "What does this mean?" ”
"Of course I know it!" Adams affirmed, "because when I was younger, I spent a whole decade studying it." ”
"Ah, father, you know, tell me!" Adela grabbed Adams' hand and shook it desperately, wishing Adams could be sure that this armor didn't have any tasks, so she could put it on for Ryan tonight.
"Speaking of which, this was 200 years ago. Adams looked at Ryan and the others around him, and said slowly, "Iris, this is a symbol unique to the Templars of the Kyidrama Empire. His Majesty Fernando sealed the ancestors of our three families in Cassano in the hope that we could occupy a southward passage for the Empire......"
"It's a pity that His Majesty's wish was not fulfilled in the end, and there were too many constraints around him, which greatly interfered with his steps to truly unify the entire continent......"
Later, the three families slowly parted ways because of interests, but everyone's strength was about the same, and once someone fell into an absolute disadvantage, the next strongest one would definitely not hesitate to deal with the family with the advantage of strength with him to balance the situation of Cassano. ”
"If you want to end the chaos of Cassano, you must have great power, but the three families are unwilling to let outsiders intervene, and our own strength is not up to the level of unifying the entire Cassano, so we all set our eyes on the surrounding areas, and the former Temple of the Apocalypse is an excellent choice. ”
"That day at Tekken Castle, I told you that these Templars never got involved in the outside world, and that they only guarded the Temple of the Apocalypse in the Silent Jungle, the predecessor of the Cursed Swamp, but that's not entirely true, because historically, this group of only 3,000 Templars has also had the experience of coming out. ”
"It was during the most difficult time for the Kyidrama Empire, when they were fighting two nations of equal strength in the north and south, and at the same time as the most critical battle, a fourth nation entered their territory from the east and quickly approached their royal capital. At this time, the royal capital only has the most basic troops left, how can it be possible to compete with a powerful enemy army?"
"In order to continue the Empire, the Emperor of the Empire sent his only son to the Temple of the Apocalypse, I don't know exactly what happened, but 1,000 Templars rushed to the royal capital of the Kyidrama Empire overnight, and fought fiercely with the 100,000 enemy troops under the city. ”
"The battle was so fierce that almost half of the kings were destroyed, and less than 100 of the 1,000 Templars survived, but most of the 100,000 enemy troops were lost, and in the end their commander saw no light of victory, so he had to retreat, and according to my research, less than 20,000 people left. ”
"1,000 men can fight 100,000 and kill almost 80,000 opponents, what a terrible fighting power!" Adams muttered, "If the Saranal family can master this kind of force, or know the training methods of those Templars, wouldn't it be easy to unify Cassano?"
