Chapter Twenty-Three: The Real Honkai - One
"That's Sunset!"
Hidden behind an oak tree, Brian looked at the towering city wall in the distance and said with some distraction. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seven or eight years ago, even the people of Stratholm would not necessarily know the name of Sunset, but now, the city has become the Stratholm region, not the largest city in the whole north of Lordaeron after Stratholm and the Great Cowling County.
This giant city, which traverses nearly half of the Sunset Forest and the Dark Pine Forest, has become a veritable gateway to the Stratholme region, and has gradually replaced Stratholme City as the largest concentration of human exchanges and trade with the High Elves, and all these changes are only a short period of seven or eight years, and the development of the other two regional megacities far exceeds the development process of decades and hundreds of years, and the emergence and development of Sunset City is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
And the one who created this miracle was the mage lord who is now famous in the entire human kingdom, Keris Junnier, this earl who is rumored to have the blood of the High Elves, not only broke the record of human beings for nearly hundreds of years, but was promoted to the limit of mages just after reaching adulthood - the realm of archmages, and in terms of secular power, the title is like a triple jump, and it took several years to become a real earl of real power, and completely became a real giant in the Stratholme region.
"Quack! yes, a good target!"
Just as Brian was looking at the giant city in the distance in a trance, a sharp and hoarse evil laugh came from behind him, and his whole body was wrapped in the black robe, and the only hand holding the staff that was slowly revealed was only the white bones of the forest, and there was no flesh and blood in sight.
"Any enemy who despises this mage lord has become fertilizer for the city to thrive!"
Retracting his gaze, Brian looked back at the skeleton behind him, trying his best to hide the disgust in his eyes, but still reminded him coldly.
"Hmph!
The skeleton raised its head, two blue flames flashed in the broad hood, and the hoarse voice of the figure came out, and then the staff in his hand slammed on the ground, and the pale green gray mist began to emerge quickly, and it didn't take long to envelop a radius of seven or eight meters around him, and a low chant began to come out of the gray mist.
When the pale green gray mist spread, Brian's face changed dramatically and he ran backwards, until he stopped at a large oak tree in the distance, and then turned his head to stare at the pale green gray mist that no longer spread, and his eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
However, the chanting in the gray mist only lasted less than half a minute before it stopped, and it didn't take long for the skeleton mage hiding inside to slowly walk out while waving his staff to blow away the gray mist around him, and a half-crippled short skeleton trembling behind him, as if it was about to fall apart as soon as the wind blew.
"There is such a clean land, it is really worthy of the sunset forest that the elves have guarded for thousands of years!"
The eyes of the two flames swept Brian in the distance, and the staff in his hand then pulled the little skeleton behind him, watching the little skeleton silently turn into ashes and dissipate, and when he turned his head, Brian had returned to him again, and the skeleton mage cursed in a low voice while fixing his gaze on the human warrior in front of him.
"Little bug, it's time for you to make a difference!"
"Can't even summon a full skeleton warrior?"
The eyesight of the high-level warrior made him clearly witness the destruction of the little skeleton even though he was far away, and Brian said with an ugly face, without a large-scale skeleton warrior, the combat power of the psychic in front of him fell by more than half in an instant.
"The High Elves must have arranged some kind of magic on the Sunset Forest, making the wild souls and corpses here very rare, except for that city, a radius of nearly a thousand meters I don't even perceive half a piece of soul age!"
Impatiently waving the staff, the skeleton mage spoke faster and faster, and the other skeleton hand that was originally in the robe also stretched out, holding the staff in both hands, raising it slightly, and the light blue fluctuations began to spread around him to three meters away before dissipating.
"Hehe, sure enough, the whole forest, except for the city in front of you, there are no wild creatures!"
Putting down the staff in his hand, the blue fluctuations above his head began to converge, and the skeleton mage took out a cloth bag and threw it at Brian.
"Go ahead, bury it in the graveyard of Sunset!"
"What about you?"
Brian didn't look at the cloth bag in his hand, but said with a cold face.
"This city is just a starting point, but at the moment, we can't touch those spiky ears yet, so I need to go to the north side and set up some little things to grab the attention of those elves!"
"Hmph, you bones, don't end up asking me to pick them up for you!"
Glancing up at the north, the corners of Brian's mouth twitched and mocked.
The reason why Stratholme was able to dominate the northern region of Lordaeron was simply because it was the only land passage for the High Elves to enter Lordaeron, and it was only through the name of Quel'Salas that it was so rampant for a while, and the reason for the lucrative trade between the two clans was still a little bit of leftovers leaking from the pointed ears. And now, this dependence has been more and more obviously transferred to the city behind the two, as long as you are careful, you will find that the attitude of the High Elves towards Sunset City is far greater than that of Stratholme, the latter is just a dispensable trade object, and the former is more like an alliance.
"Quack! The good days of these elves are coming to an end!"
Shaking the staff in his hand, the skeleton mage spoke, and his body gradually dispersed as a cloud of gray mist.
Witnessing the disappearance of the psychic mage, Brian turned his head to look at the giant city in the distance, and after a moment of silence, he dodged into the oak forest.
But as soon as the land fell into calm, a translucent eyeball suddenly appeared in mid-air, glanced at the underground clearing, and then stopped at the place where the psychic summoned just now, and with a flicker, the eyeball appeared in the area where the green gray mist spread just now, and after half a circle around the withered grass, the eyeballs suddenly darkened and became completely transparent.
And the moment his eyes disappeared, Brian's figure appeared again, and after glancing at the withered ground suspiciously, he stomped on the ground with one foot, and the bursting anger erupted, and in an instant, the entire grass was shaken and rolled, completely destroying all traces, and the high-level warrior carefully observed for a moment before nodding with satisfaction, and his body entered the state of charge, and ran into the oak forest again.
