490.Chapter 490

Whether it is a mountain or a river, a pass or a city, or even a pavilion on the first floor, there must always be a basis for naming them. Just like the famous mountain must have the spiritual traces of the immortal family, the river is suitable for the nostalgic history, the name of the city needs to be given by the emperor Lao'er, and the pavilions and pavilions are missing the inscription of famous people, and they are simply embarrassed to see people.

At the Astral Gate, this tradition is almost followed. For example, the reason why the Yuehua Tree Alley, where Wei Ye temporarily settled at the Gate of the Star Boundary, got its name because it relied on a spiritual tree called the Moon Flower Tree, and I don't know which vassal and elegant guy transplanted it into the Gate of the Star Boundary. It is said that when the moon blossom tree blooms, it is shaped like a double-petaled peach blossom, but when it reflects the moonlight, it is like jade petals. Its root system is buried deep underground, and it has the spiritual effect of gathering the five directions of the earth qi to nourish the earth's veins.

Compared with the slightly relaxed name of the Yuehua Tree, there are also those stories of talented and beautiful women that happened under the Yuehua Tree, if you look further, there are naturally more places to visit.

As one walks through the maze of clouds in Moonblossom Tree Lane, past the endless lines of cold steam gears and riveted iron armor on Iron Throne Street, through a hidden narrow mine passage behind the fireplace in the hall of a floating mage castle, through the magma bronze gate that stands underground, and finally in front of a giant peak shaped like a weeping widow. At the foot of the weeping mountain woman, across a large lake of tears as dark as black velvet, you will come to a town with a Victorian British style.

Coconut Crab Town――

The coconut crab is a large hermit crab that lives in the tropics, and they like to carry a house the size of a basketball on their backs and busily climb coconut trees to enjoy coconut water. But no matter how you look at it, Coconut Crab Town doesn't seem to have much to do with the word. In fact, Lake of Tears and Coconut Crab Town are most famous for their carnivorous leeches that resemble small black water snakes, with sharp six-rows of teeth and a keen sense of smell like a hound, and their instinct to hunt in groups makes these Lake of Tears leeches like to attack anyone who passes through Lake of Tears with a picnic basket.

Seriously, no one in the Astral Gates likes them except for biology researchers and potions-making workshops.

The buildings of Coconut Crab Town are all painted in a blue-gray hue that is characteristic of the famous British Kingdom of the classical era, and look like houses carved out of blue-gray sandstone. Only the bell tower in the middle of the town is slightly different, it was built of miserable white alabaster. In the midst of the blue-gray walls, the bell tower, which had never rang, looked particularly cold.

Just like the impression of everyone who passes by Coconut Shell Crab Town at first sight, this place has a humid and cold climate, and is covered by layers of haze clouds that say that it is not thin and thick, and it is difficult to expect it to give the residents here a sunny day.

It's not very comfortable to live in this place, there are almost only two options: rainy and cloudy, and there are occasional storms to make an unwelcome visitor. Even the almost ubiquitous business associations at the Astral Gate, once they heard the words "Coconut Crab Town", they could only shake their heads.

But don't get me wrong, although Coconut Crab Town looks deserted and secluded, and you can't even find a convenience store, it's not the kind of abandoned town that is usually used as the backdrop of a horror movie. Even the old houses that seem to have emerged from "Sherlock Holmes" can still see some traces of their owners' recent care-

For example, a two-handed axe with a severed edge, engraved with beautiful flowers, hangs on the top of a black iron fence: "Visitor note: If the owner is not fighting on a new battlefield, he must be on his way to a new battlefield." ”

A pile of old cannonballs, precisely cut by sharp blades, are quietly placed on the windowsill, replacing flower pots, beautifying the environment for the homeowner. The ornamental plants that occupy these cannonball pots are semi-demonized man-eating flowers with purple sepals and giant snake mouths.

Other mansions are a little more fancy, from gargoyles adorning doorposts to lion knockers with object activation spells, to graffiti painted entire walls with magical spray paint of Constant Dancing Light:

"Wang Qiu, the captain of the Inuya Brigade, owes 3 for eating, drinking, and gambling. 500 million, and ran away with his senior sister and sister-in-law! Wang Qiu, you are not human! We have worked for you for more than half a year from birth to death, and you don't pay me any employment money! You pay me back my hard-earned money!"

That's right, the people who settle in Coconut Crab Town are all genuine astral adventurers, and more precisely, those who buy houses and land in Coconut Crab Town are all stargate mercenaries who can't pass the standard. Just like the coconut crab always carries a basketball-sized shell on its back to the tree and goes to the sea to adventure everywhere, the residents of Coconut Crab Town also take almost all their belongings and hurriedly jump from one time and space point to another, they have no long-term plan, and the key is how much benefit they can get from the business in front of them.

Therefore, the cheap housing here in Coconut Crab Town has become the first choice for the mercenaries of the Star Gate. Anyway, for them, these old Victorian houses are just a temporary foothold for them when they transit through time and space.

In these temporary settlements, in front of the dilapidated western-style pavilion surrounded by wild weeds and miscellaneous trees, the cones on the begonia trees are exuding a rich fruity fragrance. Su Che, a female warrior who was always dressed in a bright red battle jacket, became the only bright color under the grape-gray haze sky.

She sat straddling the fence and plucked the ripe yellow cones from the begonia trees.

And under the wall, the newly released necromancer Gruggs was holding a fruit basket made from a troll helmet, followed by the fruit that Su Che had dropped.

Holding this fruit with smooth skin and hard flesh with a strong fragrance in one hand, the samurai, who is accustomed to using Changge, is like an old farmer standing on the threshing floor and looking at the fruits of his labor: "This year's harvest is good. ”

It's a pity that this joy of harvest didn't infect the necromancer Gruggs, who had long brown and yellow curly hair and thin arms.

The lack of the expected response made the female warrior sigh slightly, threw the fruit in her hand into the helmet fruit basket, and with a turn of her body, she landed on the ground with a light somersault.

"Well, I know, although you have obtained the Helltorch Staff, you have failed the necromancer level assessment this time. But it doesn't matter, compared to the necromancers from most orthodox mages of the Wizard School, the Necromancy of the Rasmar Order is already very useful. ”

Patting the junior on the shoulder, the female warrior counted with her fingers: "Some schools of necromancers, for each skeleton soldier they summon, need to prepare spell casting materials worth twenty-five gold coins. These gold coins alone are equivalent to a year's income of a local farmer's family, enough to buy a refined leather armor or a military sword. In other words, every time these mages use necromancy summoning magic, they can fully equip a trainee knight for just the cost. ”

Speaking of this, the female warrior put her hands on the shoulders of her junior very seriously: "There is no need for spell casting materials, even if only a dead mouse can cast necromantic magic, there is no spell bit limit, and if you maintain your magic power, you will have the ability to continue fighting." Although there are not as complicated and fancy as those pedantic factions in terms of magic tricks, we want a magician like you Xiao Gu when we eat the bowl of mercenary rice!"

Seeing that the brown and yellow hair of the junior brother was wilting like a leek that had been dry for a long time, Su Zhe pulled the corners of his mouth, rolled his eyes, and gently turned the wrist guard of his left hand: "Speaking of which, isn't it just that those old bone scum of the Lasma Order think that your necromantic summoning magic level is low? Let's also hire a few spellcasters who focus on positive energy attributes to help you get a baby who raises the level of necromantic magic back, in this way, I see what those old bone scum have to say!"

"But we don't have enough money ......"

"Oh yes, how can you go to your peers for this kind of thing? Those pedants who have just finished their travels and don't know the market price are the point!"

As Su Che's bracers turned, a screen of light appeared in front of the mercenary pair.

"What casters have been sending out temporary party invitations lately?"

Typing this question in, a large list immediately appeared in front of the red-clothed female warrior, basically all of which were various mage insignia and seals as the avatars of those spellcasters on the social networks of the Astral Gate.

And the temporary party applications of these casters are also varied:

"The time and space where this team is stationed is in urgent need of a pioneer of the order camp, as long as you are willing to sign up, you will have the title of pioneer knight and the fief to be sent, including food and shelter, and burial!"

"Investigator Recruitment, if it's a weak guy with a combat level of five or less, please close this page. Note: Individuals with the following skills and specialties are not to be recruited, including artists with overly sharp minds, telepathic paranormals, and experts in archaeology and ancient reading. ”

"War is always coming quietly, and the all-project war on the continent of Fronilde, jointly organized by the Biskodi Republic, the Garrett Lions Lordship, the Principality of Pastiasius, and the Kingdom of St. Harva, is about to begin. I sincerely invite young adventurers who are aspiring to become brave warriors to participate in this all-project war on the mainland, and invite spellcasters and martial artists over the age of fourteen and under the age of eighteen to sign up!"

"Discover the ruins of the ancient immortal mansion, and sincerely recruit like-minded Taoist friends to go to archaeological excavations. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Han, the team leader. ”

Looking at this series of various temporary team recruitment information, even if he was as experienced as Su Che, he was dazzled for a while. However, between these miscellaneous information, a perfunctory one popped up inadvertently under Su Che's operation, and under the recruitment information with the celadon cup full of old wine as the avatar, there was only a string of lazy messages:

"Immortal warlock Wei Ye, who is worried about adding furniture, is there a brother who is willing to come to be a shopping guide?"

Looking at this recruitment information, the female warrior was rarely stuck, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Gruggs hurriedly reminded his senior sister: "It seems that the name of the immortal warlock we met at the time and space point of the Three Kingdoms where we just went?"

"Ah, I think about it, it's that little official who looks very unimposing! What a poor guy, he doesn't even have much furniture, this kind of poor ghost, and an expert in the evil-destroying Dao technique, maybe it is just right for our needs!"

As the female warrior slapped her palm, she immediately sent an application message to this recruitment message: "Gun and curse combination, willing to serve you wholeheartedly!"
