Chapter 471: Signing the Contract
It's just the two of them, plus the distance is already familiar, and the goals and things that need to be obtained are all done.
So this time, Arka directly controls the mirror, forming a flying magic mirror. Carrying the rock corner, he quickly rushed towards the edge of the mountain range, the direction where the stone forest was located.
It was at least half the time they had saved, and in just a few days, they had already seen the valley depression where the stone forest was located in the distance. Merge with the surrounding peaks, making it imperceptible.
Perhaps because Rockhorn was following him, Arka had seen another Rockhoof Sentinel and sensed their presence.
But they didn't rush to intercept them, so they let them go inside.
Rock Horn looked at the place in front of him.
"I'm back, and nothing has changed."
As if sensing his return, Arka had seen the same half-elemental creature as a minotaur who looked exactly like him at the gate. Walked out through the rock straight from the inside.
They looked at the rock horn and hugged each other.
There was some kind of silent communication.
Arka didn't know what they were communicating, and he couldn't see any expression on the minotaur's dull face.
But it can be seen from the more straightforward expression of the rock horn that it should be talking about the half-elemental creature who died in the center of the mountain range before.
Arka remembered that Rockhorn had said that the one who died was his brother, perhaps in the form of a minotaur.
After the exchange, Arka followed the two of them directly through the wall and entered the interior of the stone forest, no different from them leaving.
The strange and tall Great Elder Triangle Rock walked over.
After a silent exchange with Iwaku, he raised his head to look at Arka.
"Human friend, I've heard him say it, thank you for your help."
Arka smiled and nodded, and took out the three crystal cores from the space.
He handed the core to the elder in front of him.
The elder watched as Alka had gathered all three in such a short period of time. He thought it would be a good idea to have one.
Although I can feel the feeling of surprise, there is no change in my appearance. After taking it, he nodded to Arka and thanked him: "Thank you, you are now a sincere friend of our family." Let me prepare a thank you gift. ”
Looking at the elder who was about to leave, Arka hurriedly stopped him and said, "I came here because I have more important things to communicate with you. ”
Hearing this, the Great Elder turned to look at him again.
The rock horn also stood by and waited.
"The environment of this world is very unfavorable for your survival, and there are no conditions for your offspring to be born.
But I have a place here, with a pure single earth element, that is perfect for you to live and multiply. ”
Hearing Arka's words, the Great Elder didn't believe it at first, and his emotions became vigilant, but he still stared at Arka with a dull face.
Arka knew that he couldn't just believe it, and looked at Rock Horn to signal that it was his turn.
Yanjiao nodded, and immediately walked up, starting to communicate with the Great Elder with silent fluctuations.
Looking at this scene, Arka took two steps back slightly, observing with eyes that could observe mood swings.
With the silent exchange, Arka could clearly see that the Great Elder's emotions gradually changed from wariness and doubt to belief, and then quickly turned into excitement and surprise.
After the exchange, the Great Elder looked at Arka and said, "If it can really be done, then our clan will sign an elemental contract with you."
We will be at your disposal, we will fight for you, and in exchange you will be able to provide the right environment for our people to survive in it. ”
It's very straightforward, and it seems that the character of the entire group is relatively direct.
Arka nodded in satisfaction, agreeing with such a simple contract condition.
He provides a safe place to live so that the entire clan in front of him can multiply, and the entire clan in front of him signs a contract to provide him with labor and combat power.
Very advantageous deal.
After all, if it is really possible to breed offspring, then the race can be truly continued. Unless Arka sends them to death.
Then they will naturally refuse.
As for the actual contract signing, it will not officially start until the whole thing is completely done.
"Can it ...... Let me see that area with my own eyes? The Great Elder asked.
Arka nodded, "Of course." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled to the side, and a crack in the space opened.
He walked in with the Great Elder and Rock Horn.
During this time, during the journey, Arka still kept instilling the magic of a single earth element into it.
At this time, inside this enclosed space, the magic of the earth has become very rich, and the ground has long been revived.
The barren plains have been transformed into brown earth and jutting boulders of mud.
As soon as you enter here.
The strength of the Great Elder Triangle Rock began to climb with the naked eye visible to the naked eye.
The cracks on his body actually began to close and recover directly, and soon directly entered the primary stage of stage 8.
And stabilized here.
Arka just stared blankly.
Why didn't there be such a change when Rock Point entered here before?
The change came unexpectedly.
However, looking at Iwakaku's expression, it seems that this is a very normal phenomenon, and it may be the difference in performance caused by the difference in strength or stage.
Alka is also not quite able to understand this situation.
As for the fact that the Great Elder in front of him suddenly went berserk and wanted to attack him and obtain the treasure in his hand, he didn't think about it.
Treasures are not in the hands of everyone, especially those from other worlds.
If he was dealing with someone who was in the world himself, Arka would be wary.
"Very good...... It's great that it fits perfectly with the environmental conditions for the birth of a new life. ”
The Great Elder's words became fluent in an instant, and there were emotional fluctuations.
The whole person feels like he has changed from being dying old just now to feeling strong in his prime.
From the appearance, it can be seen that the cracks on the previous body have completely disappeared, and even the dirt and stones on the surface have become shiny.
He turned to look at Arka.
Then he raised his right hand, and a large amount of elemental power began to gather on the palm of his right hand.
In front of Alka, a thick stone slab appeared, which was filled with a heavy aura and patterned totems.
Sacred text carvings began to appear on it.
It has also been transformed into a script used by Arka that is very easy to understand and understand.
That's exactly what they said about the contract.
Once the contract is signed, the inhabitants of the Rockhoof will fight for him for Arka use. Arka will provide them with an elemental environment like the present for their race to live a normal life.
They must not be forced to do things that are too seriously harmful to the interests of the entire ethnic group. For example, in large numbers of them went to die.
Faced with such a contract, Arka directly signed his name on it, and used the power of the Holy Mother to mix his own magic to press a handprint representing the contract on it.
When the mudra is pressed, it automatically transforms into the personal imprint of the King of Arka Dreams, representing the Arka Dream Realm.
The entire contract is in full force and effect.
Under the witness of the elements, in the Virgin, under the witness of dreams.
As the contract was signed, he seemed to feel something, and the power in the whole changed somewhat.
A brown card representing the earth emerged, and he could clearly feel that his control over the element had been strengthened.
Signing this contract automatically reaps the blessing of the earth elemental.
I didn't expect it to have such an effect.
"Now that the contract has been signed, let your people move in."
"Of course, we're going to do it now."
Arka then gave a copy of the access to this space to the Great Elder in front of him.
Then they walked out.
The entire stone forest began to get busy.
The Great Elder used some unknown force to spread through the earth, which seemed to represent the fluctuation of the signal.
The elemental life around him began to return, and Arka sat by and waited quietly, his current duty to open the bigger door.
Arka found that what seemed to be important to them was only certain materials rich in earth elements and various totemic statues.
As Arka opened the gates, they began to build a new stone forest on the barren land.
Faced with such a situation, Arka certainly won't let it go, and sat next to it and began to learn.
With the study on the side, Arka also almost understood the social composition of half-elemental creatures.
It's very simple to divide by age and strength.
The first is that the elemental beginnings that do not exist in their group can also become children like elemental cubs.
This is followed by normal, adult half-elemental creatures that have grown.
All of the Stonehoof Clan's strength in the third stage and below are called half-elemental creatures.
This is followed by the 4~5 stage warriors.
Of course, warriors are just a title for this stage, which means that they are powerful.
Elders of the 6~7 stage.
At this stage, in addition to being powerful, age and experience are far higher than other elements.
And the triangular rock, known as the Great Elder, has actually passed this stage.
It should now be called an elemental boss.
Arka found that the name was not different from that of a normal elemental creature, but with a slight subdivision.
After all, co-inhabit the element interface.
At this time, a semi-elemental creature that Arka had never seen walked over, Arka looked at him, and the strength of the entire elemental creature was about the sixth stage.
Apparently an elemental elder.
As he walked over, he looked at Arka.
"Arka, we still have a contract with the Frontline Alliance, and according to the contract, we need to provide a certain amount of ore.
So do we need to renew this contract now? ”
The reason why this matter is not decided by the Great Elder is because the other party in this matter is the same human as Arka, and Arka's opinion needs to be considered.
Arka thought for a moment and asked, "How many people do you need to fulfill the contract and how much time does it take?" ”
"A team of 10 people takes a month."
Hearing this, Arka nodded, that wasn't a big deal.
"Then continue to fulfill the contract, take turns, and return to this space when the rest of the time...... No, it should be called Stone Forest now. ”
With no external elemental restrictions, this area can be turned into a stone forest.
The square area of a kilometer is enough for them to survive, and the stone forest outside is not as big as this.
No, Arka can expand around at any time, after all, the world is big enough.
Of course, it can be regarded as small for the whole world, but for Arka, it can be regarded as a small continent.
Hearing Arka's decision, the elemental elder in front of him nodded, and then left to make arrangements.
Alka found that the construction of the stone forest was much more complicated than he thought. For these elemental half-elemental creatures, they used some completely unknown technique, and began to hook up the surrounding single earth elemental through stone pillars and totems.
Then he began to control them freely, allowing them to arrange them in this stone forest in a certain proportion and order, and naturally formed a natural magic circle.
Let the earth element of the whole area become active, and ...... Gentle. For the time being, he could only come up with such an adjective.
For the active elements are not likely to appear gentle, but violent and destructive.
For example, in this world, if there is an earthquake or a collapse, it can be regarded as a manifestation of elemental activity.
Then they began to revive the new generation in front of Alka.
The first is the kind of elemental core that Arka has ever seen.
In the center of the entire stone forest is a large and finely carved totem.
This is the same as the totem carved with the shape of a fantastical creature that resembles a cow, but is obviously supposed to resemble a cow, and a huge stone hoof mark.
They then underwent some kind of ritual transformation of the core, encased in a stone ball.
The ball of mud solidified, hardened, and then turned into a stone egg with a pattern.
The entire stone egg became unusually smooth in an instant, like pebbles in a river.
These smooth stone eggs were lifted by the Great Elder.
Arka could feel the silent fluctuations they were making through communication, as if they were praying in some kind of ritual.
After all, this is the first life they have been born in a long time.
After passing the ceremony, the stone egg floated, and just like that, the brown light floated next to the giant totem pole.
Then one after another flew up.
A variety of earth-rich materials are also used.
Arka sat beside him for two whole days, watching the operation of these half-elemental creatures like this. Looking at him like this, he already felt that he had gained a lot in the manipulation of the earth element.
It can only be said that it is a creature that can control the earth element by nature, and there are many skills that Arka may not be able to learn even if he sees it.
That's someone else's instinct.
In just two days, the 300 or so people of the entire Rockhoof tribe completely returned to their former strength.
In just two days, Arka found many semi-elements, and the rifts in his life were about to be repaired.
More or less, the strength has been improved to a certain extent.
Or that they should have improved their strength for such a long time. It's just that the harsh environment and lack outside make their strength stagnant or even regress.
And came to the environment that suited them, and after the previous malnutrition was eliminated, the natural strength also began to fill the passage brought by this time.
For example, the Great Elder.
Before coming here, he was indeed only a seventh-stage consummate elder-level half-elemental creature.
But after 800 years, he should have broken through to become a leader-level existence a long time ago.
But the environment was scarce, until it was brought into the appropriate area, and after the body was repaired, it broke through to a new stage in an instant.
After all is done.
Arka appeared outside in the stone forest, which was empty.
There is only a squad of half-elemental creatures left,
The team's leader, Arka, had already given him access to the space.
Arka then began to return, heading deeper into the interior of the Ghost Mountains.
When he returned, he didn't use the Flying Magic Mirror to carry him on his quick moves, but instead used the brown Earth card.
Start practicing the skills you've learned before.
Standing on top of a sharp rock, the stone slides from mountain to mountain, moving forward as quickly as if you were skiing in a snowy mountain.
It takes a lot of subtlety and a few hidden tricks to do it.
If it weren't for the increase in Arka's ability to manipulate the earth element, it wouldn't have been able to do so, let alone maintain it forever.
It glides inward, slowing down as it moves further and further into the mountains.
Because the abyssal aura inside is getting thicker and thicker deep into the earth, the earth elements in the earth have been curbed to a certain extent, and they are not like the periphery.
In the periphery, especially in the area of the stone forest, the abyssal aura is very faint and faint, almost nothing. It was supposed that the half-elemental creatures of the Rockhoof had taken some sort of protective measure.
That's why when Arka saw Rock Point before, he didn't sneak into the ground to dodge.
Because in a place like this, which is heavily invaded by the abyss, any element is contained differently.
As a last resort, in the second half of the journey, Arka began to use the magic mirror again for a quick flight.
This back and forth, coupled with the waiting in between, took nearly half a month for Arka to finally arrive.
