Chapter 1 A Man Who Walks on a Journey All His Life
The prairie under the moonlit night is more wild and secluded than usual, and it is endless. A little light on the grassland under the moon looks so eye-catching, as if it were a lonely boat on the rippling sea.
When I got closer, I realized that the light was a roaring bonfire, illuminating the small meadow and dimming the light of the surrounding fireflies a lot.
Under the light of the fire, a black beast five feet long lay on its stomach not far from the campfire. It looked like an oversized black rhinoceros with no horns, nail-like teeth, and claws about the size of its head.
Earthwalking Dragon, the most common and common sub-dragon type of demonic beast on the continent, is also one of the most penetrating demonic beasts in human life.
The Earth Walking Dragon clan is generally a fourth-order demonic beast, and this earth-walking dragon may have lived a little too long, and its strength has reached the level of a fifth-order in the old age demonic beast stage.
"Lombard, I'm back. ”
With the gentle and crisp voice of the young man, a young man wearing a black magic cloak with a hijab holding a rough magic staff in one hand and a large hare that had died in the other hand slowly walked to the side of the bonfire, first said hello to the old earth dragon, and then skillfully took out a small white knife, hung the hare on the shelf on the grass on the other side, and prepared to peel off the skin of it first, remove the internal organs, and then set up a fire to roast it.
But at the moment when he turned around, the eyes of the old earth walking dragon on the opposite side of the bonfire suddenly opened, and at the same time, the eyes under the shadow of the young man's cloak suddenly flashed a dangerous light, and the magic staff in his hand turned around, and he backhanded a pestle behind him-
"Poof!"
First there was the sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh, and then, as the young man drew his staff back, there was the sound of something falling to the ground. Looking back at the huge black wolf-like demonic beast that was quietly lurking behind him, the young man shook his head and didn't say anything, just dragged it to the side of the grass to clear the field.
"Ace Prairie, the most are wolf type demonic beasts, but this wind shadow wolf is only a third-order demonic beast, and he dares to approach a place where there are fifth-order demonic beasts, it seems that wolf demonic beasts are indeed very rampant here. ”
After handling the big hare and roasting it on the fire, the young man walked to the old Dixinglong, took out an obviously old ancient book from the four large boxes hanging on both sides of the dragon's back, and sat down against the old Dixinglong, and began to look at it calmly.
The strange thing is that a young man of his age should have the least patience to read this kind of book on the history of the continent or something, but this young man not only reads it very seriously, but also has a whole big box of similar books!
Curry, whose full name is "Curry Astirin", is twenty-five years old, is a traveling merchant who travels around the mainland, mainly to obtain marketable goods in various channels on the mainland, and then sell them to all parts of the mainland through various channels, with a very wide range of transactions, receiving everything, selling everything, weapons, pills, all kinds of spirit grass, mineral crystals, monster skins, messy, etc., etc., wherever he goes, he will do business.
And this kind of profession has a characteristic, to put it mildly, it sounds like the four seas are home, and to put it bluntly, there is no fixed place, so the creatures on the mainland like to call them -
"A person who walks on the road all his life. ”
Ke Rui's father is a traveling businessman, Ke Rui has been doing business on the mainland with his father since he was born, from childhood to adulthood, 25 years, through ups and downs. In the past twenty-five years, Curry has walked almost every corner he can took, and there have been many adventures and changes him, but he is still an authentic traveling merchant, just like his father.
Now, my father has been gone for more than two years.
Two years ago, in accordance with his father's wishes, Curry loaded his body into a boat and released it into the river, allowing the river to take him to an unknown distance.
My father longed for freedom all his life, which was one of the reasons why he became a traveling merchant, and even if he died, he didn't want to stay in the same place forever, then he would go crazy in his soul.
With his father gone, all he left behind was his free nature as a traveling merchant and his lifelong experience as a merchant, as well as his long-standing dragon "Longbo", who had followed him for half his life.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ke Rui, who was intently looking at the ancient history book in his hand, raised his head and glanced twice into the dark grassland to the west, his gaze fluctuated slightly.
He lowered his head and continued to look at the book as if he hadn't found anything, but his lips moved imperceptibly. The next moment, a white cold light suddenly flew out from behind Ke Rui, shooting like a sharp arrow into the half-human-high grass, "poof", and with a short scream, a thick smell of blood wafted out.
Standing up, Curry walked over to the campfire and ripped a thigh from the roast rabbit, reaching out to remove the hijab from the magic cloak as he was eating, revealing his face.
The brown-black emanation just over the shoulder, each one drooping down as if it had a lot of weight, the not particularly handsome face always had a habitual subtle smile that was not easy to detect, and the eyes with blue pupils implied a maturity and vicissitudes that were not commensurate with their appearance, typical characteristics of the northern coastal peoples of the Guran Empire, where Ke Rui's father was born.
"It seems strange tonight, Lombard, I'm going to trouble you in a moment. ”
Tearing the rabbit meat in his hand, Curry tilted his head and said to the old dragon.
"Tonight is a little important to me!"
The old earth dragon opened the somewhat cloudy dragon eye, twisted the huge dragon head and roared at Ke Rui, the meaning was self-evident.
"Hehe, Uncle Long should be strong, I can rest assured that I can break through the bottleneck of the eighth-level necromancer. Curry smiled and nodded.
Throwing the last bite of rabbit meat into his mouth, Curry wiped his mouth, and a stream of water appeared on his hand, washing away the oiliness in the flow.
"Level 3 water magic is still very useful. Curry looked at the clean white hand and smiled.
Until now, Curry's identity has not changed, he has always been a traveling merchant, although he has some talent in water magic, he has not attended a magic academy, but it has only allowed him to reach the current level of the third level, not even a magician, just a magic apprentice.
But it turns out that although Curry is not very talented in water magic, he is a genius in cultivating necromancy! Since he accidentally got a primary necromancy book when he was a child, out of interest, Curry began to try to practice necromancy, but the result was out of control.
Without the guidance of a mentor, in just over ten years, Ke Rui has grown from a first-level magic apprentice to a seventh-level great magician, and tonight, he is going to try to break through the bottleneck of the eighth-level necromancer for the third time! Once he succeeds, he will become an extremely rare eighth-level necromancer on the mainland!
"Success or failure, it's up to tonight. ”
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Curry took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and began to enter a meditative state, making final preparations for the promotion.
