The Broken Sword Mercenary Group, the first batch of foreign mercenary groups to enter Snake Head Town, traveled back and forth between Cuihai Valley and Snake Head Town every day.

However, with the start of the Pioneer War, a large number of mercenary groups flocked to it.

The last time Duke heard the news of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group, it was once in the black beetle car, and he heard others chatting, the leader of the Broken Sword Regiment, the 1st Ring Great Knight Dramond, died in the siege of the beast tide.

At that time, there were mercenaries who laughed at it, thinking that the name of the mercenary with the broken sword was unlucky.

"Well, it seems that this mercenary group has not been disbanded, but has a new leader...... Xena, I don't know if she will follow in the footsteps of Dramond. ”

Mercenaries are people who lick blood on the tip of their knives, and death can happen at any time.

Shake your head.

Duke stopped thinking about what he didn't have, picked up his coffee cup, and savored it slowly. With Xiaoyi helping him hang up and practice, he has a lot of leisure time to enjoy life.

Finish your coffee.

After riding my bicycle and walking around the town again, the iron fence of the third vertical street has been torn down, the ground and roads have been leveled, and the foundations of the buildings have been laid.

Countless iron pillars stood up.

There are golems with a structure like a ring, climbing up and down along the iron pillars, transporting construction materials, similar to tower cranes, making the construction of the entire construction site very fast.

In front of some construction sites, signs have been erected.

Duke glanced at it and found that it was a message from many businesses and institutions.

"Forerunner Spirit Material Acquisition Shop, Mighty Spirit Beast Trading Center, Atlanta Potion Shop, Creeper Spirit Worm Shop, Card Warrior Home, Mercenary Mission Center...... With so many shops and institutions, Sheshou Town is about to be on par with Shenjiao City. ”

Of these sites, the main attraction was the one in the middle of the Third Vertical Street, a huge fan-shaped foundation building.

The tall sign reads "Black Snake Auction Center".

It means that this is an auction house established by the Black Snake family, and it seems to be the first and only auction house in Snake Head Town.

"In the process of the development war in Cuihai Valley, a large amount of resources will inevitably be grabbed, and when the time comes, they will be transported to Sheshou Town for the first wave of digestion and absorption...... When I renovate it to the 2-ring spirit card, I can also put it in the auction center to trade, and the cash can be realized faster. ”

After a short stroll around the third vertical street under construction, Duke headed back to the farm.

When leaving the town, he saw a well-armed mercenary group on the gravel road outside the town.

The knight at the head rode a spirit beast that looked like a triceratops.

"It is a 2-ringed spirit beast-triangular thunder rhino, and it is a close relative of the 2-ringed spirit beast-Fierce Horn, and it is born with a affinity for the thunder element, and can release a variety of thunder arcane laws." Xiaoyi explained to him in a timely manner.

"2 rings of spirit beasts...... That is, still a great knight. Duke waited for the mercenary group to go first.

The knight contract spirit beast, theoretically, as long as he has the ability, he can even force the contract of the 9-ring spirit beast, but he still can't break the shackles, and he can only stay in the 1-ring knight.

Only when the spirit beast evolves into a phantom beast can it break through the 2-ring phantom beast knight and take the fighting spirit further.

It is worth mentioning that the Phantom Beast is a strange variant of the spirit beast. When there is only 1 ring spirit beast, the spirit in the body has not been fixed, and it can evolve into a 2-ring spirit beast after contracting with the knight; If you exceed 1 ring spirit beast and are promoted to 2 ring spirit beasts, the spirituality in your body is completely fixed, and you will have no chance to evolve into a phantom beast.

But.

Perhaps it is not a good thing for spirit beasts to want to evolve phantom beasts.

Spirit beasts can continue to rise to higher levels, but phantom beasts are dragged down by contract knights, and the 2nd and 3rd rings are the end.

Of course.

Most phantom beasts, even if they don't have a contract with a knight, may not be able to advance to a higher level. Unlike humans, spirit beasts are basically born and raised, and they rarely break through their own bloodline level. The contract with the knight may not be a chance.

……

Return to Little Duke Farm.

Levine was riding a tricycle, pulling ash from outside the farm.

Because the surrounding farms had not yet been cultivated, they were overgrown with wild grass, and while it was sunny during this time, Levine went to harvest the wild grass and pile it together and burn it into ashes. Pull it back and wait for next year to be used as fertilizer to grow vegetables.

Duke has decided to enclose a piece of land as a vegetable garden at the downwind location.

When the time comes, raise some chickens, ducks and geese.

"Boss."

Levine said hello as he rode his bike.

The five little ones were running wildly behind the tricycle, but when they saw their master, they immediately left the tricycle and gathered around Duke.

Wagging tails, rubbing trouser tubes, sticking out tongues.

"Stand upright!"

"Wow!" The five small ones instantly lined up in a line, and the five were side by side, which was quite majestic.

"Sit down!"

Duke gave the order.

The five little ones sat down in unison.

Duke is happy with this, and the greyhound has a little more spirituality than the average hunting dog, so it is easier to train. He motioned for the five little ones not to move, and then went into the field and took out a little jerky, and each rewarded one with jerky, but he did not allow them to eat indiscriminately.

Instead, listen to his command: "Keep it well, bite the jerky in your mouth, and I will let you eat it, and you will eat it!" ”

The five little ones each bit into the jerky and looked at Duke with blank eyes.

It wasn't until the past three minutes that Duke smiled, "Okay, let's eat." ”

The five little ones immediately devoured the jerky, tearing and biting at the jerky, as if they had not eaten for several days after being hungry, and ate the jerky in an instant.

"Go play, go play."

"Wow!"

Duke then returned to Besano, changed into a pair of slippers, and went up to the second floor.

"Tsk!" The little hood jumped from the corner of the roof and landed right on Duke's shoulder, where it now had long hair and seemed to glide when it jumped in the air.

There was no room for him in his pockets.

Aside from hunting, Duke rarely takes it out with him anymore. Although the small pocket that has been contracted, other knights can no longer contract, but after all, there is a high probability of evolving into a phantom beast breed, and it is inevitable to cause trouble if it is discovered by outsiders.

"Well, I'll reward you with a piece of jerky."

"Tsk!"

The little pocket that got the jerky did not start eating it immediately, but hid the jerky in it with its big furry tail, and then stretched out his finger to point to the breeding room.

"What?"

"Tsk!"

Do not understand.

But Duke immediately followed the little pocket's point and went into the breeding room.

The small pocket jumped from his shoulder, landed exactly on the cloister, and walked along the railing of the cloister to the place where the orchids were planted.

The man stood up and pointed to the ground orchid and chirped.

Duke's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be a ground orchid sticking out a small flower bud.

"Xiaoyi, hang up the "Rainfall Breathing Method" and check the state of the ground orchid."

"Okay master, I've hung up the "Rain Falling Breathing Method" for you." As soon as Xiaoyi hung up, he sensed the state of the ground orchid through the breathing method, "Congratulations to the master, the ground orchid has budded, and has successfully sorted out the free spirituality and formed a spiritual aura." ”

"Haha, a surprise!" Duke sat on a stool, slowly waiting for Xiaoyi to perform the breathing technique, resonating with the ground orchid, the cloud pine, and the foxtail vitex.

Nowadays, the ground orchid can also comb the aura, and with the fox's tail vitex, the spiritual aura is further expanded.

The operation efficiency of "Field Meditation" has been slightly improved, and even in the studio, you can enjoy the spiritual aura.

"While the weather is still good, I'll go on an adventure in the forest tomorrow and find new spirit plants."
