Vol 2 Chapter 45

Scene 45: The Nest

As we all know, the formation of Vaughn originated from the Ezru, the Cruz god, or the Eruin mother Martha and the four elven kings, which bound the chaos (also known as the sea of ​​chaos outside the world). It forms a border on the basis of six elements.

Within this boundary, the outer layer is the elemental territory, and the inner layer is the infinite land.

The power of the gods that guide the rules of the world is reflected on the sky above the earth, forming the sun, moon, and stars. Therefore, life is born from the water, multiplies on the earth, is blessed by the wind, and is endowed with wisdom by the flame, and all the world becomes.

However, beyond the 130 million rules laid down by God Ethiru—the Code of God-Man a'thro (Elemental Rule) —the sea of ​​chaos is not subservient, it is also mapped on the sky and is used by cultists We call it the third month, the holy month in the pastoral population, or the magical month described in the books of the Silver Heavenly Snake and All Things Reunification.

According to legend, the Moon of Shadowless and Invisible Magical Moon Every ten years, the Moon of Summer, the Book of the Moon, and the Moon of Recovery. Watching the earth from the western mid-air for several months-so these months are also the most magical magic for wizards and witches. This period is also the period when the elements are most faint-the magic tide caused by the moon of magic at this moment makes waves on the sea of ​​chaos, so that the monsters affected by these magic are bred in the dark.

That is, the monsters in people's mouths—the magic tide drove them to attack civilized areas, causing Echiru's guardian land to collapse inward—the territory of civilization also shrank accordingly. In the early days of the Chaos Age—the magic tide was almost every Civilization has to face the enemy of life and death, and this is why the pioneer knight exists.

Even in modern times, the war potential of a country must be prepared for the decline of civilization.

However, the tide of magic has come once every ten years, and the last patronage has just passed two years, and the one-hundred-year tide is still too early, so people in this era are not too worried.

It's just that when the tide of magic recedes, the lair that produces the monster will not disappear. They also produce monsters composed of magical power or mutant beasts over the years. Therefore, information about roads being intercepted by monsters is occasionally transmitted in the surrounding areas of big cities.

In Eruin, clearing these monsters and lairs is the job of the guards and the temple of the flames.

However, not all nests will be destroyed. In the long-term battle with Chaos, people are like how their ancestors discovered how to domesticate wild beasts, and they learned how to domesticate the 'nest' and let the products in it be used by themselves.

Even after a long period of research, races such as humans, elves, and even dwarves themselves have figured out how to create similar 'nests'.

For example, the gargoyle lair in Buga is a typical example.

The domesticated nest is similar to the mount of the Eruin Dragon Knight, and the Gryphon of the Cruzs. And the earth dragons, war snakes, or black wolves that people often see.

But there is still another kind of lair, the guardian's lair, which was born under the influence of the forces of the order of law set by Martha (Echiru), or the forces of light, darkness, flame, wind, water, or rocks. product.

For example, the abyss of wind in St. Osor, the heavenly gate of the Church Knights, and Madara's Shadow Canyon.

Of course, these nests are also divided into three, six, nine, etc.-

For example, most hounds in the Silver Wing Cavalry Regiment and the Guard Barracks also have hounds' lairs. Although the annual output of this thing is as high as sixteen, it is a pity that the combat effectiveness is only beyond the average hounds.

And the life of the monsters gradually declines with the magic that constitutes their bodies, often short-lived. Even a long-living dragon family will disappear after a hundred years—compared to the real dragon family.

The Stone Lair mentioned by Brando here is an artificial lair. It is the product of alchemy. The monster produced is a stone statue. The fighting power is about seven or eight adults. This kind of lair is a rather low-level lair, but its popularity is popular. Many nobles have such things in their territories. Although Shi Zhiyu has low intelligence, he can still be used as a soldier.

Therefore, when Antitina saw the Rock Corps necklace, she first thought of this. If Brando intended to build some stone lairs, how much money would this necklace save them?

Bartom took into account the increased output in disguise.

So the three of them were determined at the same time to ‘grab’ this necklace into their hands—

The reserve price soon came out. Of course, the Rock Corps necklace was not as precious as the Scroll of Elemental Inspiration, so its price was only 2,000 Tor, and it increased by one hundred each time.

Because of his intention to win, Brando was not in a hurry to take the shot this time. He waited to see what others had done, so as not to expose his thoughts prematurely.

The first bidder was born in the crowd, and the one holding the sign was also a young knight. Antinina and Bartom both glanced over there, but the surface remained calm.

The price turned to three thousand after several competitions, and the number of bidders began to decrease. Brando understands that most of the people who participated in the auction before had a participatory attitude. In fact, most of them were not really interested in this necklace.

But at this moment, the competition started to appear calm on the surface, but fierce inside.

The bidding rights were quickly taken over by the little nobles in the third-floor box, and Xunzi told them several of them. Most were nobles outside Braggs, with their own territories.

The price has risen to 4,000 Tor, which is not low for this necklace, and the real hunters are joining the competition at this moment.

From 4,400, the third box on the right gives an offer of 5,000.

The audience was almost silent for a while.

Many people are thinking, are those nobles crazy? And more people can't help but be impatient, this sudden offer made some speculators realize that this necklace may bring them more benefits.

There was another ripple in the crowd, which made Brando feel a little uncomfortable. He knew the facts must be used to dispel these speculators, so he let the sister-in-law go.

Six thousand Tor.

Quiet again.

The eager people immediately smelled the beginning of the war, and all of them carefully retracted their hands.

Seven thousand.

This time a bid was given to a squadron leader of the Whitebeard's Legion, which was then picked up by a nobleman in the city for 7,500.

Brando did not hesitate to raise the price to eight thousand.

Bartomy swallowed.

Eight hundred and one hundred, the third box price on the right.

Brando asked Xunzi to raise the bid to 8,500. He looked at the stage and did not mean to give up. Antitina couldn't help but clenched the handle of the chair behind him, her knuckles whitening.

The dimly lit auction floor was silent, and the nobles were silent. No one is a fool here, and for a Rock Legion necklace, they will also consider whether it is worth it.

But Brando's consideration is different. His needs for the army and territory are more urgent than anyone. The funds in Antitina's hands are for the territory. This was also his, Bartom and the nobleman. Qian Jin reached a consensus.

The auctioneer hammered once.

The white-maned squadron leader seemed to be eager to try again, but he hesitated, but he still didn't make a shot.

After three hammers, Brando obtained the necklace as expected. The sister-in-law had already settled the bill with his money and then sent it over.

Brando glanced around, noticing that he didn't pay attention to this direction, then carefully put away the necklace. After all, this thing can only be used in the Lair of Stone, and now it can only be used as an exhibit.

After the Rock Legion Necklace, the auction gradually heated up. First, several pieces of art were added to create a scramble among the nobles, and then two sets of bronze magic armors, which almost ignited the adventurers and mercenaries With the enthusiasm of the knights who traveled, the scene was hot, and the two armors were finally sold for more than 40,000 Tor.

Then it was a series of exciting products, and Brando once again got a set of poker cards that he claims to be magical. But he didn't do it for the deck, but to get the destiny card mixed in the deck of cards.

In fact, as soon as the auctioneer brought the deck to the platform, several cards in his backpack immediately responded. He and Shire looked at each other and immediately bought the card.

This time he had no strong opponents. Only a few aristocrats who liked quirky gadgets competed with him. In the end, he was able to successfully buy the card for 2,500 Tor.

When Brando pulled the destiny card from the deck of playing cards, he found that it was a cyan card. The front side of the card was drawn with a group of cyan spiders born from the whirlwind. The payment fee is the corresponding wind element-

Wind Spirit Spider

(Aesia's Prophecy iii)

Wind 1 / x

[Creature-Element / Insect, Level 5 Creature]

Pay x and put x cyan tokens (wind spirit spider, level 5) into play.

The Wind Spirit Spider Swarm dies and assigns a target to burn its x mana.

‘From the vortex, return to the vortex of mana —’

When Brando scanned the description of this card, he couldn't help but hesitated. First, summoning a level 5 creature card made him feel a loss, and the cost indication and description made him puzzled. He thought about it, couldn't help turning his head and whispering to Charles, "What does this mean?"

On the side, Charles glanced at the card and smiled slightly.
