Chapter 009: Gray Domain, Three Great Empires!
When Rex brought Rorschach to the camp to reveal his identity as an ascetic knight, and took the initiative to show his hand to make the caravan leader realize that it was actually a bronze horseman, all problems were no longer a problem.
Because if a Bronze Horseman really has malicious intentions towards them, he doesn't need to disguise it at all, he can just do it.
The 'Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce' to which this caravan belongs is only a medium-sized chamber of commerce in itself, and the president of the chamber of commerce is also a bronze horseman.
But they are just a small caravan under the command of the Chamber of Commerce, naturally it is impossible for the president to follow him personally, and the strongest person in the caravan is only a black iron knight, and he can't even do decent resistance in the face of the bronze knight.
In that case, what is there to be suspicious?
"If I'm not mistaken, the Bronze Horseman should correspond to the ordinary Lv.2 level in the garbage eye judgment, which is the current level of Gao Tianlin...... Tsk, it's really very face-tty. After seeing the Bronze Horseman's deterrent power to this ordinary small caravan, Rorschach also had a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the top hat man.
The man in the top hat didn't tell him much about the Blood Knights, but he also roughly talked about the hierarchy of the Blood Knights.
Generally speaking, the ranks of Blood Knights from lowest to highest are: Black Iron Knight, Bronze Knight, Silver Knight, and higher Gold Knight!
Judging from what he has seen and heard, as well as some information given by the pupil of trash talk, the Black Iron Knight should correspond to the Lv.1 level.
This can also be confirmed by Rorschach's from the leader of this small caravan, that is, the only Black Iron Knight:
"Name: Krauser Burton"
"Race: Human, Turtle Blood"
"Ability: Turtle Forging Lv.1"
"Hint: In terms of combat power, the Rock Turtle bloodline may not be strong, but in terms of defense, it is definitely better than most knights of the same rank, even if it faces a higher level of power, it will not be killed by a single punch...... Why don't you have to punch you?"
……
Trash-talker's signature tongue aside, one thing is certain, and that is that the man in the top hat should be above the Krauser knight.
On the whole, most of the men in top hats are Bronze Horsemen, and they are still the best among Bronze Horsemen.
As for Rex saying that he is the Bronze Horseman, that's pure.
The eye-catching Lv.4 logo, as well as the evaluation of the trash talk pupil, is that it can fight beyond the ranks, how can it be a bronze horseman.
Although Rorschach is still unsure, whether the Lv.4 level determined by Trash Talk Pupil corresponds to the Golden Knight, and if the Lv.4 level corresponds to the Golden Knight, then what does the Lv.5 level correspond to?
This point cannot be determined for the time being due to insufficient information.
But even if he thinks about it with his ass, he knows that Rex, the legendary 'prince of the former dynasty', cannot be the Bronze Horseman.
Along the way, Rorschach also learned a lot of information from Rex that the top hat man didn't have time to tell him, or didn't plan to tell him at all.
For example, the land beneath their feet is called the Grey Field.
There is no way to know how big the Gray Domain is, and the three major empires dominate the Gray Domain, which are-
The Storm Empire founded by the Dorag clan with the blood of the Storm Dragon, the Red Flame Empire founded by the Phoenix clan with the blood of the undead birds, and the Titan Empire founded by the Jaents clan with the blood of the Titans, are known as the Three Great Empires of the Gray Domain!
Of course, the Grey Realm is too big, and even if it is as powerful as the three empires, it is impossible to control everything.
Under the influence of the three empires, there are hundreds of kingdoms of different sizes in the Gray Domain, as well as some intricate and chaotic places.
For example, the dark desert where Dusk Village is located is an area that the forces of the three empires have never set foot in, or will not set foot easily.
The first is that this place is too barren and has no resources at all, and the second is that it is full of many unknown dangers, and there is no easy way to set foot in it under the gold, and it is very likely that it will not be able to enter or exit.
For various reasons, this place has become a three-way zone.
However, in terms of geography alone, the Dark Desert is relatively close to the Storm Empire and the Red Flame Empire, and is located in the outer area of the border between the two empires.
Rorschach and the others left the dark desert directly in the direction closer to the Storm Empire this time, and now they have actually stepped into the territory of the Storm Empire, but they are still in a relatively peripheral territory for the time being.
Rex dared to return to the Storm Empire alone, and planned to give Rorschach an explanation, how could it really be the Bronze Horseman?
Even if he didn't have trash talk, Rorschach wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, let alone that he was still a hanger.
However, Rao is enough to make this caravan enthusiastic about them from top to bottom.
You know, it's not easy to do business in the Grey Realm.
Even though this is already within the territory of the Storm Empire, there are still too many unknown risks, and the risks referred to here may come from alien beasts in the wilderness, or they may come from elusive depraved alien species.
But more of it comes from ...... Mankind!
The Gray Domain is not a peaceful and prosperous world, especially since there is an inhuman group such as blood knights, there are not too many people who lick blood from the knife edge.
It is true that they dare not easily offend the interests of the three major empires, but don't they dare to offend the interests of some small chambers of commerce?
As a result, every time a caravan travels, the vast majority of caravans are at risk of extinction at any time.
It's a pie-in-the-sky thing to have a Bronze Horseman like Rex who happens to meet and has a friendly attitude to walk with you!
It's no wonder that the caravan isn't enthusiastic.
Even the caravan leader, the only Black Iron Knight in the caravan, Krause, took the initiative to prepare a barbecue meal to entertain them.
"It's really admirable that Arthur's predecessors can devote themselves to penance and not be bothered by fame and fortune." Krauser offered to compliment.
"Hmm." Rex said lightly.
It can be seen that Rex doesn't really want to deal with the other party.
Think about it, although he is a bronze knight on the surface, Rex's true identity and strength are there, and a small person like Krause, even if he lines up, it won't be his turn to pat Rex's ass.
Rex was naturally not too impressed by this compliment.
It's just that in this way, isn't Krauser embarrassed?
In order to resolve this embarrassing situation, he immediately shifted the set to Rorschach: "Little brother Rorschach can be accepted as a student by Arthur's predecessors, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future, come, brother, I toast you." ”
Krauser didn't care at all whether his behavior was so close to that of the young man would be despised, and he smiled and raised his wine glass, and did it first as a respect.
"Knight Krauser has won the prize." Rorschach isn't as cold as Rex and doesn't hit the smiling face.
When Krauser saw that Rorschach did not reject people thousands of miles away, his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I have a younger sister and Rorschach's little brother, you should be the same age, don't you mind if I let her come over and sit together for a while, right?" ”
"Your sister?"
"Yes, she should be ready to 'melt blood' soon this year, and if it goes well, she will also become a knight soon." Krauser said, "That girl's talent is much higher than mine, and she will probably go farther than me on this road in the future, but her personality is a little out of ......."
When Krauser said this, his tone was also a little helpless.
"Let her come over and eat together, then." Rex said suddenly.
"Huh?"
Rorschach looked at Rex in surprise, obviously Rex, who has never been very fond of Krause, which is this singing?
"You don't get along with your peers too much, and you will lack vitality." Rex looked at Rorschach and chuckled.
When Rorschach heard this, he didn't say anything, but he was a little speechless in his heart.
What the hell is this?
Seeing that Rex agreed, Krauser immediately trotted away, and after a while, he brought back a girl who did look about the same age as Rorschach, and should only be sixteen or seventeen years old.
The girl's appearance looks very delicate, and it is obvious that the outline has not fully grown, a proper little beauty embryo.
But his words and deeds seemed a little out of the way, and he was reluctant when he was pulled over by Krause.
Rorschach was also in a lively state of mind, but when the girl's message appeared in front of him, his expression suddenly became a little strange......
