According to incomplete statistics, in the summer of 2592 in the Green Empire, at least two thousand adventure groups gathered in Moyun Ridge in the northern part of Handanar County on the Bailin plane. Almost all the demon hunters in these adventure groups passed through the mountainside valley.
, enter the Moyunling highlands to hunt evil spirits.
The Moyunling Highlands are 600 kilometers long from south to north, and only 400 kilometers wide from east to west. The total area is nearly a quarter of the size of Handanar County.
The Evil Ghost Legion is stationed on a high platform on the west side of the highland. The magician investigation team discovered the largest gathering of Evil Ghost warriors here, and it is backed by the mountains to the west of Moyun Ridge.
Surdak used more than two months to build a 60-meter-high city wall at the north exit of the named Dak Valley, completely blocking the evil spirits on the high ground of Moyunling.
There are three hundred bed crossbows densely packed on this city wall, and the distance between each bed crossbow is even less than one meter.
During this period, the Evil Ghost Legion only tried to attack the city wall once, but before they could get within the range of the crossbows, they were knocked back by flints thrown by catapults.
Samira even complained about this, believing that the catapult regiment should not have thrown flints too early. It was the large amount of flints they threw that scared away the evil spirits.
The reason why adventure groups gathered in Moyun Ridge in large numbers is mainly related to Duke Newman's restriction on adventure groups entering Kornberg County. In addition, the Naroda Fortress where the Eastern Route Army is located is currently closed.
The adventure group that originally often went to the Samosto River Basin to hunt evil spirits has now found no trace of the evil spirits there.
Some time ago, many evil ghost warriors appeared on the Great Meadow. These evil spirits soon became the hunting targets of the adventure group. However, the Great Meadow is too large. If you want to follow the traces of the evil spirits, at least the hunting team will have to hunt every time.
One needs two horses with good endurance.
The escort formed by Earl Bradley appeared on the Great Meadow, and the residents of the small town living on the Great Meadow were more willing to believe in this lord's army.
The sporadic adventure group demon hunters could not find any clues about the evil ghost warriors. They heard that many adventure groups were hunting evil spirits in Moyun Ridge, so a large number of adventure groups gathered at the camp at the foot of Moyun Ridge Mountain.
Almost all adventure groups who came from behind started to try after seeing other adventure groups making huge gains...
It's just that the adventure group has mixed opinions about Surdak charging construction fees per head. Some adventure groups are supportive, and some simply knock down the report letter directly to the Handanar City Military Headquarters.
The military has remained silent on this matter and has not given any feedback.
In fact, there is no possibility of any feedback, because the valley at the southern entrance of Moyun Ridge has been changed to Dark Valley. It is obvious that this place has officially become the territory of Earl Surdak.
It is the right enjoyed by every lord of the Green Empire to set up checkpoints in their own territory to collect tolls.
There is the largest trading market at the foot of the southern foothills of Moyun Ridge. Many noble lords want to send people here to purchase black magic crystals.
Merchants regard black devil skin, evil devil horns and fangs as specialties here.
There is an endless stream of caravans coming here every day, carrying a large amount of supplies, and then bringing those evil ghost materials that are highly sought after by the empire back to the Roland continent.
Surdak even regretted a little, saying that he should have collected an additional income tax.
However, considering that this might make more adventure groups dissatisfied, I gave up the idea after thinking about it for a few days.
Nowadays, in the Moyunling Highlands, the most harmful people to the evil ghost army are the demon hunters in the adventure group.
They are composed of small groups. These adventure groups are very flexible. They will run away immediately when they see a large group of evil ghosts. Only when they see some small groups of evil ghosts will they set traps, some on their retreat routes.
Some are on the path in front of the evil spirits, and some are placed in specific locations, and then members of the adventure group run out to act as bait to lure the evil ghost warriors over...
After Surdak occupied this valley, these adventure groups probably hunted nearly 10,000 evil ghost warriors in just two months.
Although there are still a large number of evil warriors everywhere in the Moyunling Highlands, these evil warriors have become a lot smarter, and they are also learning the skills to fight against the demon hunters of the adventure group.
Countless evil warriors and adventure group demon hunters are fighting each other on this 240,000 square kilometers of land.
As for the merit list posted continuously on the city wall by the West Route Army, thirty sets of magic pattern structures were redeemed in just two months. Almost all of the thirty sets of magic pattern structures were redeemed in the past two weeks, and
The frequency of exchanges has been increasing recently.
It's just that these adventure groups don't know that these elementary magic pattern structures are almost all standard magic pattern structures purchased by Suldakto merchant Malacom in the imperial capital, and Malacom is the boss of this workshop.
Customer, the purchase price of each set of magic pattern structure is only 80 magic crystals.
Compared with the magic pattern construction in the auction house, which often costs 150 magic crystals for a set, although the effect of this standard magic pattern construction is a little worse, in fact, the magic effect is not much different, and the price-performance ratio is extremely good.
high……
This kind of primary power-type magic pattern structure is very common in the magic market, and no one has any special pursuit of it.
If you want something better, then buy common ones like Demon Serpent's Fang, Earth Shield, and Dire Bear's Power.
Of course, these elementary and top-level magic pattern structures are priceless in the magic market, and you can't even buy them if you want.
Although I know that privately some adventure groups are piecing together those black magic crystals in order to redeem a set of magic pattern structures on the merit list of the West Route Army.
In this regard, Surdak can only appeal to everyone to redeem rewards rationally...
Of course, if the magic pattern structure on the merit list is the source of motivation that attracts countless adventure groups to actively hunt evil spirits, then the other reward on the merit list is the 'reward' deliberately placed by Surdak.
The value of the enhanced magic pattern is only slightly lower than that of the magic pattern structure. Many people don't know what this thing is.
Of course, in the face of such a reward that often costs tens of thousands of merit points to exchange for one piece, naturally no one would exchange it for one just to satisfy their curiosity.
Therefore, three batches of the magic pattern structures worth 100,000 merit points on the merit list were exchanged, but no one cared about the enhanced magic patterns that could be exchanged for 50,000 merit points.
Many people are still privately asking what this thing is, and some well-informed people are talking about these strengthening magic patterns. It is said that the horses of the Western Route Army's Constructed Knights are all strengthened with these magic patterns.
Now many people have understood. In other words, this kind of enhanced magic pattern is only worth the price of a blue-scaled horse at most. However, it is difficult to buy all kinds of scaled horses in the ordinary market. This type of scaled horse is very popular in the Green Empire.
Basically, they are monopolized by the Knight Alliance. If you want to buy them, you have to use the resources in your hands to exchange them.
The price of a green-scaled horse on the black market is almost fifteen magic crystals. If it is a better-quality black-scaled horse, the price will be doubled.
So the real price of such an enhanced magic pattern is at most thirty magic crystals, so almost no one is willing to exchange it with merit.
Captain Hayes was the first one among this group of people who was willing to take advantage of the situation. The reason was that when the Western Route Army won the Battle of Yangchang Gorge, his adventure group was hunting evil spirits here.
The army established a foothold at the southern foot of Moyun Mountains, and this adventure group began to sneak into Moyun Mountains to hunt evil spirits. Finally, the West Route Army captured the valley halfway up the mountain. Captain Hayes led his adventure group to the first
Rush into the Moyunling highlands.
At that time, the evil spirits were dispersed by the Western Route Army and fled in a great rout across the mountains and plains of Moyunling Highlands.
When the first batch of demon hunters from the adventure group rushed in, they basically picked out the evil spirits who were left alone and injured. After killing them, they only cut off their heads and continued to pursue them. Captain Hayes
This adventure group is composed of first-time warriors, but they have rich experience in hunting evil ghosts, and they have been able to kill them all along the way.
Captain Hayes had just used the accumulated black magic crystals to exchange for a set of magic patterns on the merit list of the West Route Army. This time he rushed into the Moyunling Highlands to chase the evil spirits, and their adventure group gained the most.
.
…
There is a large field next to the garrison camp in Duck Valley, which is a place specially reserved for adventure groups to set up camp.
These adventure groups all paid construction fees, so when they returned from hunting in the Moyunling highlands, they also had certain privileges and could live in the valley.
"This time I want to exchange it for an enhanced magic pattern. I think this thing is not that simple!"
Captain Hayes said to other members of the adventure group in the tent.
"Captain, you have the final say. We have gained so much this time because of your accurate judgments." The members of the adventure group below responded immediately.
Many people think this way, and of course there are some different voices.
"I think we can wait a little longer. In another month, we can redeem the second set of magic patterns. If the West Route Army stays here long enough, I think when we return to the Imperial Capital, we can
Even if everyone has a set of magic patterns..." a senior member said steadily.
Coffey immediately echoed:
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to come out once and then go home to retire!"
Someone laughed and said:
"Kofi, you are only twenty years old, how can you have such thoughts as an elderly person?"
There was laughter all around immediately.
"Ha ha……"
Captain Hayes also laughed for a moment before continuing: "I want to know what the use of those strengthening magic patterns is. My intuition tells me that Commander Suldak put it on the merit exchange list, so it must belong to the soldiers.
Welfare."
Since the group leader has said this, no one is questioning anything.
Captain Hayes' prestige in the adventure group was high enough, so he easily defeated those doubting voices.
"Then let's change it. We killed the evil spirits so smoothly this time. We won't feel too distressed if we take out this black magic crystal flower!"
…
Captain Hayes found the businessman Peide. The first few exchanges were made by Peide. Although the agency fee of this businessman Peide was not cheap, his ability was still good.
He is deeply trusted by many adventure groups, and Captain Hayes is one of them.
He came to the stall of Merchant Peide and said hello:
"Pede, long time no see!"
The businessman Peide stopped and looked to see that it was Captain Hayes, then handed the guest in front of him to an assistant on the side.
He pulled Captain Hayes behind the stall and asked strangely:
"You just asked me to redeem you for a set of magic patterns two weeks ago. What do you want to exchange for this time?"
Captain Hayes came prepared this time, so he said directly:
"A strengthening magic pattern!"
Merchant Peide naturally knew the merit points of the rewards on the merit list very well. When he heard that Captain Hayes was going to give out 50,000 merit points in one go this time, he also took a breath of air and said:
"Hey... your adventure group's recent gains are simply more than other adventure groups' gains in a year. Is it because of the blessing of the goddess of luck?"
Captain Hayes knew that Merchant Peder did not believe in the goddess of luck. He heard from people around him that he had been in contact with a new god recently, which was said to be the goddess of the night.
"Maybe it's the Goddess of Luck, maybe it's the Goddess of the Night...who knows, but it's definitely not the Goddess of Liberty." Hayes laughed at himself.
As we all know, the Green Empire people were abandoned by the Statue of Liberty.
Merchant Peide obviously didn't want to talk more about this matter. Since the business came to his door, Merchant Peide happily walked out with Captain Hayes and said as he walked: "Okay, come with me."
While walking, he suddenly stopped and added: "Are you sure you want to redeem that thing? I can tell you, no one has ever redeemed it before you..."
He turned around and stared at Captain Hayes, and said seriously: "It's too late to regret now. Once the deal is reached later, there will be no regrets."
Hearing what Merchant Peide said, Captain Hayes showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
…
Captain Hayes followed Merchant Peder to the logistics warehouse of the West Route Army. The warehouse in the Duck Valley is now very crudely repaired, but there are many guards around it.
Merchant Peder took Captain Hayes to find a familiar soldier in the military camp.
Kofi and another member of the adventure group waited obediently outside the logistics warehouse. They didn't even dare to look around for fear of being regarded as thieves by the guards here.
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind Kofi, clear and childish:
"It's you, why are you here?"
Kofi turned his head suddenly and saw Signa in a princess dress. She was sitting on the wooden fence at the entrance of the warehouse, looking at him with a smile.
Kofi immediately remembered that she was the little girl he had met in the medical team and had met once in the market.
"Miss Black Angel, good afternoon! I'm here with our leader to redeem the prizes on the merit list!" Coffey greeted humorously, and also explained the reason why he came here.
Xigna's eyes lit up and she asked curiously: "Which one do you like? Although I can't help you with any reductions, I can help you with some ideas."
"Um... our leader wants to exchange for an enhanced magic pattern." Kofi felt that this was not a secret, so he said honestly.
Signa was a little surprised: "Sheng...enhanced magic pattern, oh! These are unified strength attributes, not bad, at least better than the cost-effectiveness of the magic pattern structure."
Hearing Xigna say this, Kofi was a little unbelievable:
"real?"
Xigna puffed up her chest and said confidently:
"Of course, but you have to discuss who is the beneficiary. If you exchange this thing, you can't take it away. It needs to be strengthened directly at the military camp."
"So troublesome?" Kofi didn't expect to have so many other things to say.
Xigna seemed to take it for granted and said casually:
"Of course, these rewards are only for soldiers in the military camp. If everyone lives in the military camp, they won't find it too troublesome..."
"I know, thank you, I will tell our leader." Kofi clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude to Xigna, then hesitated and asked hesitantly: "Is it really worth the money?"
"Sure!"
Xigna was a little impatient, turned around and jumped into the material warehouse...
