Volume Three Chapter Thirty-nine The left hand is empty, the right hand is time
"Pole, Iron Fist?" Baihu looked down at the list and asked in confusion: "I have been in the ranch back then, and I have never heard of these two people."
By the standards of alien races, both Poli and Iron Fist belong to the younger generation of strong men, and Baihu left the ranch decades ago and came to the Shepherd City as a alien race to serve the three kings. It is normal that she did not know Poli and Iron Fist.
Durand briefly explained: "Pole is a member of the Night Elf Clan. In addition to the bloodline of the Night Elf Clan, the blood of the Moon Elf is flowing in her body."
"The mixed blood of the night elves and the moon elves?" A trace of enlightenment flashed in the white tiger's eyes: "So that's it... I'm afraid that this Perli's talent is not ordinary, right?"
Durand nodded and said, "I won't mention my cultivation talent for now. My combat talent is indeed excellent and has great potential! So I hope that she can serve my Shepherd's City like you."
"How strong is her? How old is her?"
"Level 7. It's unclear how old it is, but it should be very young." Durand and Perry met one after another. If it weren't for Seed Nata's reminder, Durand might not have attached much importance to her.
Durand smiled and said, "In the list I gave you, except for the Iron Fist, the others are level seven-level strongmen. With your current strength and means, it should not be difficult to subdue them. However, there are two people, you should pay special attention! One is the bronze beard, who is the patriarch of the musket dwarf clan. He is very thoughtful and cruel. Such people are sometimes very useful, but difficult to truly control. You must be careful at any time."
After pausing, Durand continued: "The other thing to note is Elsa. Well...why? There is a maid named Shuijing in Blue Spirit Castle. She should be Elsa's daughter..."
Durand didn't know Crystal's life experience before. Crystal never had the chance to tell him in person whether Crystal's mother-daughter relationship was told by Crystal, and then Vivian and Durand mentioned it.
"...I understand." Baihu looked at Durand with strange eyes, but his tone was serious: "Elsa is the mother of Lord Durand's woman, right? I will pay attention."
Durand opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Crystal is not my woman. I haven't slept with her yet." But when he said it, he swallowed it. No one believed this kind of thing!
Finally, it’s time to talk about iron fist.
"...Iron Fist is the son of Bronzebeard, but the relationship between them is very bad. You can ask about Bronzebeard in the specific situation. I won't say much..." Durand rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Iron Fist should be in the ranch now. He is very strong and should be stronger than before you broke through!"
Baihu was shocked. Before she broke through, she was already an almost invincible figure among the eight-level strong men. As strong as Hederson had to admit that she was inferior to her. This iron fist, which she had never heard of before. How could she have such strength?
Unfortunately, Durand did not explain more and only asked Baihu to arrange the problem on his own. He was not willing to meet with Iron Fist for the time being. In the ranch, almost all the elderly and children of the Musket Dwarf clan died at the hands of Durand. Although that was not Durand's original intention, it was difficult to explain it to Iron Fist. Now Durand is plagued by various muslims. He also needs to speed up the integration of the elemental heart in order to break through to the bloodline realm more securely. There are too many things to consider, so he simply did not see the Iron Fist for the time being, so the Musket Heiser was put on the Iron Fist first.
When Baihu left the conference hall, he was still holding the list tightly in his hand. A thin piece of paper weighed as much as a thousand pounds, making Baihu breathless.
This list is of great significance, not only because the eight names above all have at least seven levels of combat power, but also because the non-human aliens in the ranch have another chance since then.
An opportunity to escape from the ranch!
An opportunity to no longer survive as a prey!
"It's true that I chose to stay..." Baihu said silently in his heart, his eyes firmly becoming a little bit firmer. She put the list close to her body, took a deep breath, and walked out of the Blue Spirit Castle with big strides.
...
...
In the conference hall, Durand stood by the window, quietly watching Baihu's back strode away, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After a moment, he walked back to the magic map and looked at it again. For a moment, the entire conference hall was so quiet that only the rhythmic sound of the magic pendulum was left.
Since taking over the Shepherd City, Durand has made drastic rectification and reform, and has basically established a new system to gather all the personnel who can become combat-oriented and form a military force belonging to the Shepherd City, rather than being in a mess as before.
Now, the three kings are in charge of the city and seven chariots train their troops. Within three days, five newly built troops will leave the city to carry out the first conquest of the Yonghui Knights Realm, sounding the first horn of Durand's conquest for the mainland. When the White Tiger collects the eight alien powerhouses on the list and pulls up a legion composed of various alien races, Durand can further relax his hands and put a series of plans into effect.
It can be said that everything has basically been on track.
Durand looked quietly at the magic map in front of him.
On the map, five red circles highlighted the targets of this expedition - Via Town, Roland City, Half Beast Mountains, Red River Valley, and String Moon Forest.
These five places are not far from the Shepherd's City. At the speed of five armies, they can be reached in one day at most.
Among them, Via Town is full of mercenaries, while Roland City is a famous casino in the northwest of the mainland. It has a large population mobility and does not have a clear leader. The two are theoretically within the territory of the Yonghui Knights Realm, but due to their remote location and scarce resources, they have not been strictly governed and managed, but are mainly autonomous.
In short, Via Town and Roland City are not important to the Yonghui Knight Realm. They are just two inconspicuous small dots on the map. As for the Half Beast Mountains, the Red River Valley, and the String Moon Forest, these three places are not human settlements at all. The Half Beast Mountains are the world of simple-minded Half Beasts and monsters. The Red River Valley is full of robber gangs, and the String Moon Forest is rarely visited.
However, Durand chose these five places as the target of his first expedition. I don’t know what he liked them.
"Haha, Yonghui probably wouldn't have thought that I would choose to attack at this time no matter what, right?" Durand stared at the map and smiled faintly.
His eyes fell on the five arrows on the map, each of which was as red as blood. They set out from Via Town, Roland City, the Half Beast Mountains, the Red River Valley and the Firth Moon Forest, and then gathered violently, looking like five-pointed spears, all inserted into a point on the map. This point is located in the northwest of the mainland and is marked by a milky white horse head.
Looking at the white horse-head mark, an extremely happy smile appeared on Durand's face.
...
...
After lunch, Durand came to the martial arts training ground as usual and began to practice.
Although Durand was plagued by earthly affairs after becoming the Lord of the Shepherd City, he never gave up his cultivation, but instead became more diligent.
Now he is standing in front of the gate of the bloodline realm, and by stretching out his hand, he can touch a trace of the mystery of the bloodline. The reason why he has been slow to try to break through is because he has been fusing the elemental heart.
After these days' efforts, the fusion progress has exceeded 50%, which means that about half of the elemental heart has been completely integrated into Durand's original heart and become a part of Durand's body.
"...I'm so lucky that in this interplanetary plane with barren resources, I can actually harvest a precious elemental heart." Durand smiled slightly.
The elemental heart is made of elemental source stone as raw material. It is a first-class treasure on the main plane. After the initial fusion, Durand felt his bloodline beating faintly for a few times, and he didn't know what specific changes had occurred.
Standing in the center of the martial arts field, Durand closed his eyes slightly and felt the pulse of his heart carefully.
With every beat, Durand could vaguely feel the blood in his body jubilant. It seemed that the elemental heart seemed to have brought some unexpected changes to Durand, but Durand couldn't tell what kind of changes it was. He only knew that it should be some good changes, which was also the answer given to him by the intuition of the combat mage.
At one moment, Durand suddenly opened his eyes and his momentum rose step by step. He stretched out his hand to hold it in vain. A large piece of ice power emerged from his palm, condensing into a long blue sword.
The shape of the long sword is not as strange as the orange-flame long sword, but it reveals nobility and beauty in simplicity. The blue ice that makes up the long sword is not crystal clear and transparent, but looks a bit turbid and mottled, like blue amber.
——Amber Blade.
Durand's expression was extremely focused, and even with a hint of solemnity, he looked at the long sword in his hand for a long time. Recently, he has been stepping up his practice of the Amber Blade. The more he studied it in depth, the more profound Durand felt the move.
Between the major planes, Orange Flame Ghost Slash is very famous and is almost synonymous with fire fighting mages. In contrast, the Amber Blade of the Ice fighting mage is much smaller.
When it comes to ice combat mages, people may think of absolute zero degrees, dragon breath, ice coffin, Elders' Frost Armor, etc., but few people will think of Amber Blade. The reason is that Amber Blade is too difficult! Too few people can master this move and use it skillfully, so they are not famous. In addition, this move is not used for attack, which is somewhat inconsistent with the philosophy of the combat mage, and even fewer people are willing to learn it.
Looking at the Amber Blade in his hand, Durand's face looked like a memory, remembering the scene when he was studying at the Battle Mage Academy.
At that time, Durand spent a lot of time choosing his future majoring direction. Because he had two opposing attributes, ice and fire, it was more difficult to choose more.
The fire department chose the Orange Flame Ghost Slash, and there is no doubt that Durand's mentor had no objection. However, when it comes to choosing the direction of majoring in the ice department, Durand remembered that he had a huge dispute with his mentor. According to Durand's original intention, he planned to major in the Dragon Breath or the Ice Coffin. Both are large-scale destructive ice spells, absolutely high-end, gorgeous, and high-end! But Durand's mentor insisted that he choose the Amber Blade.
Durand still remembers the reason that his mentor said at that time: "...Durand, your talent is beyond doubt. I also believe that no matter whether you choose the Dragon Breath or the Ice Coffin, you will become a powerful combat mage in the future! I always believe in this. But, but! If you choose the Amber Blade, you will definitely go further! Maybe you will become one of the greatest combat mages in Sendrow's history! Orange Flame Ghost Slash is the main attack, Amber Blade is the main defense, and the cooperation of the two swords will complement each other. At that time, you will be invincible!"
Durand was reluctant at that time because the Amber Blade was not a trick used for attack, and when he was a teenager, he was extremely obsessed with attacking, attacking, and attacking again.
Until now, Durand, who was gradually familiar with the various characteristics of the Amber Blade, truly understood the good intentions of the mentor back then. He reached out and grabbed the orange flame sword appeared in his other hand.
