In the vast underground world, due to the existence of dangerous monsters and bandits, it is inconvenient to travel between various dungeons.
Unlike the relatively peaceful underground world, where a mid-level businessman on the ground can hire a few mercenaries to organize a caravan, in the underground world, legends are not as good as dogs, lichs roam the ground, and red dragons and legendary strongmen rob them.
Yes, don’t hunt too many super monsters.
Smaller caravans are afraid to go out, and because of this, following the basic principle of high risk and high reward, as long as the caravan arrives safely, the profits from transporting special products and goods back and forth will inevitably be ridiculously high.
To give the simplest example, the mixed alloy sulfur fine gold ingots produced in Sulfur Mountain City cost 2,000 gold coins per standard container ex-factory. When shipped to Karon City, the price was double the price of 4,000 gold coins. It took more than two months to arrive.
The price of Vitan City is at least fifteen times that far away. But if it reaches the surface, the annual production is limited and there is no market. If you can buy it with 100,000 gold coins, you will be considered lucky.
Of course, specialty products often have limited output, are rare and expensive, and have the most outrageous price increases. However, other daily necessities are always in short supply due to high consumption, and profits cannot be underestimated.
It is precisely for this reason that under the "selfless dedication" of Tao and Kakajili without any regard for reward, the permanent spatial bifurcation point directly connected to Vitan is destined to create the glory of Sulfur Mountain City.
The journey that originally took more than two months has been shortened to less than a week. Not only the two cities themselves have benefited, but the number of merchants traveling between them has become more frequent, and the surrounding underground cities will also prosper as a result.
The deepening of economic exchanges will inevitably lead to the strengthening of political relations. Merchants with a keen sense of smell have regarded it as a new golden trade route, and the underground city owners with keen political sense have sent their children to study in the two places.
Build relationships.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Under the mutual benefit of both parties and the incredible mutual trust between the leaders of both sides, the good relationship between Sulfur Mountain City and the Centaur clan, the new owners of Vitan, will surely be further deepened. In addition, they themselves have built their nest in Sulfur Mountain City.
The dragon queen and three of the five overlords came together, and then, in the eyes of those who were interested, a huge behemoth was slowly emerging from the water.
Economic union, political union, personal friendship union, the union of the strong, but the most important thing is still the union of ordinary people who understand each other and try to understand each other under the new legal order.
, which symbolizes true integration rather than a covenant with different agendas.
There is no place like the cruel underground world where people can better understand that unity is strength, and there is no place where the scarcity of resources and bloody competition make peaceful coexistence so difficult, when the evil intentions and betrayal become synonymous with the temporary alliance.
, this giant beast that is gradually integrating in all aspects makes people feel even more terrifying.
"Perhaps, the underground world is about to change. Perhaps, within a dozen years, a new emperor or queen of the underground world will be born. Perhaps, the current underground alliance will be replaced by the new United Behemoth. Perhaps,
There will also be peace one day in the chaotic underground world."
And these are all things for later. At this moment, on that golden trade road, a seemingly ordinary caravan is slowly moving forward.
To say it is ordinary, it only has more than 20 carriages, and the goods are not high-end. The mercenaries escorting it are just ordinary dark elves and orc mercenaries. But what makes it extraordinary is that even if the distance is not long, it is weird.
They didn't encounter any trouble once, and the bandits and monsters that appeared one after another in the past seemed to disappear without a trace, leaving the mercenaries extremely surprised.
And I am also in the caravan.
More than three months of tutoring have been successfully completed, and the confusing knowledge system and memory have been cleared up. Then, it is naturally time to leave the underground world.
At this time, with the help of magic props, I was finally no longer that young and short-figured person.
[The Ring of Time Distortion, an epic rare object, the wearer will have a constant physical body of twenty years old, obtaining the best fighting condition, but it cannot change the physical properties. Manufacturer: Margaret, material: Philosopher's Stone
Fragments and Mithril, the system prompts: In other words, your friend can only watch but not use it. It’s really not me who cheated you this time. It was definitely Margaret who deliberately cheated you. Are you sure she can’t make a perfect change in the physical state?
Ring?]
I still ignored the system's prompts to stir up trouble. Looking at my physical body that was so different from the past, I was still quite satisfied with this ring.
Although I have to take it off for a few hours every day to avoid any burden on my body, I take it off just before going to bed. At this time, I am completely different.
The dark golden fine gold armor is a bit old. Armor without high-level enchantment is not considered high-end, but the silver light flows on the Roland Holy Sword at the waist. The unadorned sword itself is a reflection of history, and it is obviously not a mortal thing.
, but judging from the way others looked at the other iron sword behind me, there was a bit of amusement.
I'm not a swordsman or a ranger, and I don't know how to use two-handed weapons. Carrying two swords is meaningless. But I have one sword on my waist and another sword on my back. But I have been tricked by the system again.
[Attack power: 22-44+11] (+11 means that it is regarded as a +11 level sub-artifact. Even if the lower limit damage of the weapon is used, 11 points of irreducible silver flame enchantment damage will be added)
[Never break: Even when faced with a divine weapon, this holy sword will not break.] (The previous two times it was broken, once was because of Ayer, and the latter time was when it was already cut off by the special effect of the dragon-slaying knife in a weak state]
[The Royal Power of Lan: The Holy Sword of Roland is the symbol of the royal power of the Royal Family of Lan. Only those who have inherited the king's approval can use this holy sword. With the rise of the Kingdom of Lan again, it is working hard to evolve stronger. But
At the same time, this proud holy sword can only be used by the knights who are extremely trusted by the king of Arashi Kingdom.】
[Wind of the King: The holder has strength +2, agility +2, physical strength +2, and charm +6. In a country formed by the blood of Lan, reputation is calculated starting from respect. 】
[There is a string of yellow characters on the body of the sword: The Holy Sword of Roland is the sword of the legendary paladin prince Roland. Only his descendants and successors of will can be recognized by this holy sword. (Conditions for use: Bloodline of Arashi)]
Just to repair this sword, I kept the more than 20,000 destiny points left after resurrection. I didn't use them to upgrade my own abilities. I walked to Sulfur Mountain City in fear all the way. As a result...
"Hey, can the system really be repaired? It won't be said that there are not enough points when it is repaired halfway."
"No, through calculation, I have enough destiny points, and I can leave several thousand points for you to strengthen."
"The repaired holy sword won't become garbage, right?"
"Guaranteed to be powerful, from orange legend (in order to avoid mixing with personal legends, the upper level of purple epic weapons has been revised to orange legend) to semi-sub-artifacts, it is definitely a qualitative leap."
"Are you so good? There won't be any level restrictions. For example, it can only be used at level 120, so forget it."
"The only limitation is bloodline. If you don't trust the omnipotent system, you can see for yourself."
Okay, just throw the screenshot of the attributes to me. I looked at it twice, and then looked at the silver-white fonts representing the sub-artifacts, powerful attacks and special effects, and immediately laughed out loud.
In order to capsize again, I repeatedly checked the conditions of use and determined that King of Arashi was the only condition for use, and then finally decided to repair it.
But then, he was tricked.
"The only restriction is indeed bloodline. Can only Roland's descendants use it? Roland himself can't use it!"
"Of course not. Although you don't admit it yourself, the Kingdom of Lan has indeed perished. When you died for the first time, the royal power was transferred. It is now the Duke of Donglan, a new country built by the descendants of the legendary Roland. Although the area is
The population is less than a quarter of the original, but it is indeed the successor of the Kingdom of Arashi. Whether it is in terms of status or blood, they are the royal family of the Arashi Kingdom."
Well, although the system tricked me again, it revealed very important information.
"Donglan Principality was really founded by the bloodline of Lan? Is that my descendant or Cavans's?"
Well, it is indeed a cheating system. When it comes to such a critical moment, there is no answer at all.
But now, the purpose of this sword is obvious. If only the royal family that owns that land and the knights with the blood of Arashi can use it, I will either throw it to the so-called descendant of Roland directly, or I can only find him.
Make me a knight.
"Ah, it's really difficult to deal with. So, we have to contact the new royal family in advance. What name should we use? I am your great-grandfather? I am the posthumous son left by your great-grandfather? Or, just hide your identity and hide your identity.
The knighthood has the status of a human noble, and it also facilitates activities on the surface."
But while I was thinking, someone interrupted me.
"Paladin Luo Lan, come here and help me."
Yes, he is still a Paladin, still has the same name, and the reason why he is called Luo Lan instead of the usual pseudonym Luo Luo is precisely because of the person in front of him.
The Holy Sword Silver Avenger shines with dazzling golden light, and the adamantine full-body armor that is so thick that it can crush an elephant is as unimpeded as light leather armor. The Moon Knight who resigned as the captain of the urban management team is still in high spirits.
But her skin color has changed slightly and has become significantly whiter.
This is of course not some otherworldly cosmetic surgery, but Diana's choice of the path of moonlight redemption.
Patricia, the goddess of the moon, is the patron goddess of the moon and the lost. Under her protection, if the dark elves decide to abandon the evil faith of Lolth, they can convert by continuing the moonlight ritual.
Although the moonlight ceremony is equivalent to using moonlight needles to replant the skin, which is painful and time-consuming, within half a year of the ceremony, the dark elves' black skin will gradually become lighter and they will gain the right to bathe in sunlight and moonlight.
After the ceremony is completed, although it is impossible to be as fair as jade as the surface elves, it is much fairer than the dark elves, and the brown-black skin is very obvious.
The Gray Elves under the Moonlight are the collective name for these former Dark Elves who decided to choose the path of justice, and the Moonlight Holy Emblem on their arms is their symbol.
But Diana was a little different. Patricia's Holy Emblem of Moonlight was indeed engraved on her left arm, but her right arm was engraved with the Holy Emblem of the Scales, the God of Law, the Sleepless One.
It was a golden scale. On the left side of the scale was a gavel that represented judgment and punished the wicked. On the right side was a gold coin that represented rewards and protected the good. Behind the scale, a male figure with his eyes covered loomed. That was
The sleepless man himself is the embodiment of justice.
Among the wave of Paladins who are full-time just knights, only Diana still retains the identity of a Paladin, not because she has any ideas, but because the legendary Paladin has condensed the soul mark, even if the Holy Light turns to the Law seamlessly and full-time
This is our promotional slogan, but the promotional slogan is somewhat discounted.
If she changes from a paladin to a full-time just knight, and all her abilities are transformed, the original soul emblem will naturally be unable to be used, and the drop of the legend is almost certain. It will take time and luck to advance again. I don’t know when and what month.
Such a legend with unlimited potential is not a big deal. It is a pity to lose it like this. At that time, as a sleepless person, I persuaded her to retain her status as a paladin. Considering the urban management team's need for top-level combat power, she did.
Did this.
And when she decided to leave Sulfur Mountain City for some reason and go to the surface to find her own path, I originally planned to find her as a human shield and bodyguard along the way, so I naturally jumped out as the Paladin of Luo Lan and took the city lord's
A letter of introduction requesting companionship as a rookie paladin.
Yes, I am still pretending to be a Paladin this time. After all, the Knights of Order retain most of the abilities of Paladins, and the summoning of Holy Light is my specialty. In addition, Paladins have a good reputation and are very popular in various countries. At least they can travel without hindrance.
If you don't pretend, who do you pretend to be?
"Hello, dear gray elf lady, may Patricia's light illuminate your path. I am Luo Lan, the paladin of Karin, the human kingdom on the surface. For some reason, I was separated from my group members. I heard that
You want to go to the surface, can you let me go with you? You see, my personal strength is not enough to act alone in this dangerous underground world. Hey, it would be great if I could use my family's holy sword."
Modesty, politeness, and self-awareness, coupled with a bit of cowardice that is not confident in his own strength, and the shame and regret that he cannot even use his family sword due to lack of ability, he is simply a perfect image of a rookie paladin.
[Roland Lan, strength 20, agility 19, body 20, intelligence 29, mind 19, charm 19, talents: war angel incarnation, original sin demon incarnation, sword of order, titan torso, level 21 order knight/level 21 chaos witch
king】
Even if the remaining 3,000 points after repairing the Holy Sword were all invested in my own growth, the triple experience penalty still allowed me to only reach the 21st level of the Bronze level, but it was enough for me to feel the power of this diamond-level body.
horrible.
Growth at level 21 increases physical strength by +1 and physical strength by +1. This may not seem like much. An ordinary orc berserker can do it, but growth is not linear. When the base reaches the mortal limit of 19, this
A little increase is very scary. Originally, I thought that the basic attributes were so high that it would be impossible for him to reach the gold level.
The main attributes of mortals are often stuck at 19 points. This is the life and death test to advance to the legend. It requires a breakthrough between life and death. However, my body broke through this limit by the way. This only shows that he has not mastered the legend at all.
Seriously, like powerful fighting races like Archangels and Ancient Dragons, as long as you reach the age, it is natural to enter the legend.
When the strength exceeds 20, the racial talent Sword of Order is directly awakened. When the physical strength exceeds 20, another racial talent, Titan Torso, is awakened.
With four powerful racial talents and powerful basic attributes, even though I am only at the Bronze level, I am confident that I can single out any Silver level being.
However, the awakening of racial talent is completely dependent on luck. It is completely incomprehensible to awaken it so easily. But soon, when I saw my attribute X9, which was water, I suddenly realized.
"After all, 20 is the peak threshold for mortals. If a bottleneck suddenly occurs, the physical body will naturally improve significantly. It is natural for the potential racial talents to awaken. However, if my attributes are stuck at X9, will the system help me?"
"Yes, idiot, that red dragon is smarter than you. Young people have the potential to grow no matter what they do at any age. If you are given an adult body of more than 20 years old, there is no possibility of awakening your racial talent."
I was immediately puzzled. The system that had been cheating me for so long had changed its nature? It would actually help me?
"This time is your last chance. If you fail again, there will be no next time. Besides, I can't bear to see how miserable you are, so I will help you once. Come on, this opponent is really difficult to deal with."
"What about Roland's Holy Sword?"
"If it is not directly linked to the fate of the country, as the sword of the king, it may evolve into a sub-artifact or even a divine weapon? You will not be able to escape after the whole world is over. You have lived enough. Don't drag me into the water with you."
Well, this time even the cheating system helped me. If I don't succeed, I will really have no choice but to become a benevolent person.
But even though I am now good enough to challenge the Silver rank, it is still dangerous in the underground world full of legends. Therefore, I still need to find a bodyguard to escort me to the surface.
But when I followed the system's suggestions and chose Diana as my travel companion, I realized deeply that the system is still the same system. It may become trustworthy at critical moments, but if you don't say anything at ordinary times, it will be in vain.
After I put forward the suggestion of traveling together, Diana, who is also a Paladin and was already very curious about our colleagues on the surface, immediately agreed to my suggestion of traveling together.
But when I saw my traveling companions this time, I instantly regretted it...
"Massive Dog" Momo, well, this is the nickname I gave her. She also completed the moonlight ceremony, and she kept looking at me with suspicion, and even asked me indirectly if there was someone named Luo Luo.
Brother... Judging from the mysterious liquid that kept falling from Luo Luo's mouth when I talked about it, even if I had a brother, I would never tell her, and I was even more determined that I would never take it off in front of her.
ring.
Well, this is the best thing to deal with.
The gold-level judge Koros, or Koros, after completely changing into a woman, successfully evolved from the most beautiful woman in the judicial system to the most beautiful woman in Sulfur Mountain City. Her goal is the holy spring of elves in the ground world, which is said to be able to
Remove any curse.
After discovering that the halo of the god of plague was still working, I personally welcomed this unlucky lightning rod. At least I could read jokes to relieve my boredom. However, the other two "flower protector" messengers who were always jealous of each other glanced at me with murderous eyes.
It seems that I am very unpopular.
Now that I am not strong enough, if I approach rashly, the joke might turn into a joke for the starring role, which would be really bad. So I consciously leaned over and smiled, shook my head, saying that I had no feelings for the beauty, but somehow, it seemed that
Realizing that I didn't want to be as annoying as other flies, Kross took the initiative to chat with me, which made the two "flower protectors" full of resentment.
Well, these are actually easy to deal with, but the remaining ones are difficult to deal with.
Grand Master Hoyle, a blacksmith who specializes in armor, is a gray dwarf, nicknamed the Big Orange-headed Dwarf. He has a very unique personality. If you want to use the shortest sentence to describe his uniqueness, well, he is a key member of the League of Gentlemen.
It is also at the top of the urban management blacklist. Well, no need to say more about the rest, everyone understands it.
Silver Hook Bea, also a key member of the League of Gentlemen and the organizer of this caravan, if I had known from the beginning that this caravan was a "safety card", I would not have participated even to death. Now I am sitting in the caravan provided by the goblin.
On the carriage, I was trembling.
The two of them are the organizers of this caravan. They provide the goods and carriages of the caravan. It seems that they are going to the surface world to attend some Grand Master Council, but judging from the heavy cargo hauled by those carriages,
, that eighty percent is a Roland... This name is really awkward, they actually have now regarded it as an official name.
Sad Wind. Erro, this... well, no need to introduce it further, when I think of that incredible ten thousand points, and think of this guy's honorary title of being the man who single-handedly created several races, I
Unable to resist the urge to draw the sword,
"That day, the true God gave me a revelation. I, Sad Wind, a confused half-dragon, decided to embark on a journey to find my true self."
"Who@#@@ gave you a revelation! Don't talk nonsense! You%￥% are a pervert, don't blame it on the Sleepless Man!" When I heard him say this, even I couldn't hold it back.
Resist the urge to curse.
Well, as a judge, Kolos is still very competent. At least she knows how to protect the honor of her true god. After her colleagues suppressed the tragic wind, her little fists were really vicious, and they hit her hard to the flesh, but even so
, could not stop Bei Feng from expressing his affection for the passing Kodo giant lizard.
"Hello, fellow beings, it is this romantic journey inspired by the gods that makes it possible for us to get to know each other. My name is Beifeng, and I am a male. Are you there?"
"Oh, you're a male too?! That's great!"
Well, when he was walking behind the carriage with the giant lizard, everyone finally couldn't hold it any longer and pounced on him in unison. It was such a good beating, it was so refreshing.
This kind of thing happened three times along the way, and the sad wind showed no remorse. I even doubted whether he had awakened a new interest.
Okay, so it's normal. After finishing dealing with the tragedy as if it were a daily task, Diana actually took the initiative to ask me for help.
"Knight Luo Lan, we haven't encountered any bandits or monsters along the way. There is obviously a problem. It is very likely that the bandits have united and plan to ambush us. There is a long and narrow valley in front of us. If there is an ambush, it is likely to be there.
, you will take action with me later."
I know she means well. I seem to be the weakest among the caravan fighters now, and she is afraid that I will be in danger, but I want to say that she still thinks too much.
"Ambush? In this case?"
I looked around and saw several black shadows hiding in the distance, clearly out of sight.
In my perception, among the dark clouds, the ominous wings of death are moving slowly. The "caravan leader" three kilometers ahead is looking back every few minutes. Not far away, there is a low thunderous sound.
The roar means that the battle is ongoing, but a figure flashing at high speed is vaguely hiding behind the stone pillar next to it, and a blue figure that moves teleportation is also following behind.
"Gloria, as the newly appointed Third Consul of Siro, you should be busy with endless official matters. Is it okay to be so free? Little Reinhardt, doesn't your neck hurt from turning your head so frequently?"
"Snowhoof, stop hiding. With such a big body, that little sapling can't stop you."
"Adam, Margaret, even you...forget it, don't care."
Yes, I did say goodbye to them before leaving, but I really didn't expect that they were worried that something would happen to me on the road, so they unexpectedly came to escort me secretly.
The result was that a large group of big guys tried hard to imitate thieves' techniques and stalked the caravan in a sneaky way. As for the thieves and monsters along the way, they were killed within a few dozen kilometers of each other.
"Forget it, they also have good intentions."
If it's hard to explain, I won't explain it. Although I think they are redundant, inexplicably, there is a trace of uncontrollable joy in my heart.
The establishment of the Power of Law system, the existence of the True God of Law Sleepless Man, the Royal Faction of the Siro Empire, and the changes in the entire underground world. Even though the future direction is still not optimistic, compared with the "history" that is destined to be destroyed
Up, a lot has changed.
"This time, I'm not alone."
Inexplicably, seeing these evasive idiots made me laugh out loud.

PS, as I said before, it will be released in the early morning of June 1st, that is, at 12 o'clock tonight. It is really not easy to get to this point. I have a lot to say. Well, I will write a release announcement later.
PS2. It should explode after it is released. Because there is no manuscript saved, it can only explode. Finally, I cannot help but ask for first order, subscription, and monthly pass. Squirrel needs everyone's support.
