As we all know, the formation of Warend comes from the contract between the god Ehiru of the Cruz people, or the mother of the Eruin people, Martha, and the four Elf Kings to restrain the use of Chaos (also known as the Sea of Chaos outside the world).
It forms a boundary based on 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 who guide the rules of the world is reflected in the sky above the earth, forming the sun, moon and stars. Therefore, life is born from the water, multiplies on the earth, is protected by the wind, and is endowed with wisdom by the fire, and the mortal world is completed.
However, in addition to the 130 million laws set by the god Ahiru - the god-man code a'thro (elemental rules) - the sea of chaos does not surrender. It is also reflected on the sky and is controlled by the cultists.
We call it the third round moon, the holy moon or the silver serpent among the tree herders, and the magic moon described in the classics of the All-Union Society.
According to legend, the invisible magical moons watch the earth from the western sky for several months in every ten years, such as the Summer Moon, the Scroll Moon, and the Resurrection Moon—so these are also the months when wizards and witches have the most magical power.
The period was also the period when the elementalists were at their weakest - the magic tide caused by the magic moon at this moment set off waves on the sea of chaos, causing monsters affected by these magic powers to be born in the darkness.
That is what people call monsters - the tide of magic drives them to attack civilized areas, causing the guardian land of Ehiru to collapse inwards - and the territory of civilization shrinks accordingly. In the early days of the Chaos Era - the tide of magic is almost everywhere.
Civilization has to face life-or-death enemies, and this is why the pioneer knights exist.
Even in modern times, a country's reserve war potential must be prepared to cope with the decline of civilization.
However, the tide of magic comes only once every ten years, and it has only been two years since its last visit. It is still early for a once-in-a-century tide, so people in this era are not too worried.
It's just that after the tide of magic recedes, the nests where monsters are produced will not disappear. They will continue to create monsters composed of magic or mutated beasts over the years, so there are occasional reports of roads being cut off by monsters in areas around big cities.
.
In Eruin, it is the job of the security team and the Temple of Fire to eliminate these monsters and nests.
However, not all nests will be destroyed. In the long-term battle with 'Chaos', people learned how to tame the 'nest' and let the products inside it be their own, just like how their ancestors discovered the way to tame beasts.
Used.
Even after long-term research, races such as humans, elves and even dwarves themselves have also found ways to create similar 'nests'.
For example, Buga's gargoyle lair is a typical example.
The domesticated lair is similar to the mount of the Eruin dragon knight, the griffon of the Cruz people, and the ground dragon, war basilisk or black wolf that people often see.
But there is another kind of nest, the Guardian Cave, which is born under the influence of the camp power of the order law set by Martha (Ehiru), or the camp power of light, darkness, fire, wind, water or rock.
product.
For example, St. Osor's Abyss of Wind, the Kingdom of the Knights of the Church's Gate to Heaven, and Madara's Shadow Canyon.
Of course, these nests are also divided into three, six or nine levels——
For example, there are hound nests in most Silver Wing Cavalry and Guard military camps. Although the annual output of these things is as high as sixteen, unfortunately, their combat effectiveness is only a tier above that of ordinary hounds.
Moreover, the lifespan of monsters gradually declines with the magic power that makes up their bodies, and is often short-lived. Even the long-lived dragon clan will disappear after a mere hundred years - a huge difference compared to the real dragon clan.
The stone lair mentioned by Brando here is an artificial lair. It is a product of alchemy. The monsters it produces are stone puppets with a combat power of about seven or eight adults. This kind of lair is a kind of artificial lair.
It is a rather low-level lair, but it is popular among the people. There are such things in the territories of many nobles. Although the stone puppets have low intelligence, they can still be used as soldiers.
Therefore, when Antitina saw the Rock Corps necklace, this was the first thing that came to her mind. If Brando intended to build some stone lairs, how much money could this necklace save them?
Bottom, on the other hand, took into account the disguised increase in production.
Therefore, the three of them made up their minds at the same time to ‘grab’ this necklace——
The reserve price was quickly revealed. Of course, the Rock Corps Necklace was not as valuable as the Elemental Revelation Scroll, so its price tag was only two thousand Thors, with each price increase of one hundred.
Because he was determined to win, Brando was not in a hurry to take action this time. He waited to see what others would do, 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. Antitina and Bottom both glanced over there, but remained unmoved.
After several competitions, the price reached 3,000, and the number of bidders began to decrease. Brando understood that most of the people who participated in the bidding before had a participatory mentality, but in fact, most of them were not really interested in bidding.
I am interested in this necklace.
But starting from this moment, the competition began to become calm on the surface, but became fierce on the inside.
The right to bid was quickly taken over by the small nobles in the third-floor box. The lame man told them about a few of these people. Most of them were nobles from outside Prague and had their own territories.
The price rose to four thousand Thors, which was not low for this necklace. Real hunters began to join the competition at this moment.
Starting from 4,400, the third box on the right quoted a price of 5,000.
For a moment, the whole place almost fell silent.
Many people are thinking, are those nobles crazy? And more people can't help but want to make a move. This sudden offer made some speculators realize that this necklace may bring them more benefits.
There were ripples in the crowd again, which made Brando feel a little bad. He knew that he had to use facts to dissuade these opportunists, so he asked the lame man to take action.
Six thousand tols.
Be quiet again.
Those who were eager to try immediately smelled the beginning of the war, and all of them cautiously withdrew their hands.
seven thousand.
This time the bidder was a certain squadron leader of the White Mane Legion, and he was taken back by a noble in the city for 7,500.
Brando did not hesitate to let the price rise to eight thousand.
Bottom swallowed.
Eight thousand one hundred, the price of the third box on the right.
Brando asked the lame man to increase his bid to 8,500. He looked in the direction of the stage without any intention of giving up. Antitina couldn't help but grab the handle of the chair behind him, her finger joints turning white.
There was silence in the dimly lit auction room, and even the nobles were silent. No one here was a fool. For a Rock Legion necklace, they would also consider whether it was worth it.
But Brando's considerations are different. He needs the army and territory more urgently than anyone else. The funds in Antitina's hands exist for the territory. This was also the case for him, Bottom and the noble before.
The unanimous opinion reached by Qian Jin.
The auctioneer struck the hammer once.
The squadron leader of the White Mane Legion seemed eager to try and prepare to struggle again, but he hesitated and ultimately did not take action.
After three hammerings, Brando got the necklace as he wished. The lame man had already settled the bill with his money and sent the thing over.
Brando glanced around and noticed that no one was paying attention in his direction, and then carefully put away the necklace. After all, this thing can only be used in the Stone Lair, and now it can only be used as an exhibit temporarily.
After the Rock Legion Necklace, the auction gradually heated up. First, several works of art were added, causing a fight among the nobles. Then there were two sets of bronze-level magic armors. These two sets of armor almost ignited adventurers and mercenaries.
With the enthusiasm of those traveling knights, the scene became heated, and the two pieces of armor were finally sold for more than 40,000 tols.
Then there was a series of exciting products, and Brando once again got a set of playing cards that were said to have magic power. But he didn't want to get this set of cards, but to get the set of playing cards hidden in the mix.
It's just the fate card in the deck.
In fact, as soon as the auctioneer brought the deck to the platform, several cards in his backpack immediately reacted. He and Ciel looked at each other and immediately bought the cards.
This time he had no strong opponents, only a few nobles who liked weird gadgets competed with him, and finally he successfully bought the card for 2,500 tols.
When Brando pulled out the destiny card from the stack of playing cards, he found that it was a cyan card. On the front of the card, a group of cyan little spiders emerged from the whirlwind. The serial number on the card was iii.
The payment fee is the corresponding wind element——
Sylph Spider Swarm
(Asia's Prophecy iii)
Wind 1/x
[Creature—Element/Insect, Level 5 Creature]
Pay x and place x cyan tokens (Sylphy Spider, level 5) into play.
The sylph spider swarm dies, and a target is designated to burn x points of mana.
‘Produced from the vortex, returned to the mana vortex——’
Brando couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he scanned the description of this card. The card that summoned level 5 creatures first made him feel a little bit at a loss, and the cost label and description made him puzzled. He thought about it.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but turned his head and asked Charles in a low voice: "What does this mean?"
Charles on the side glanced at the card and smiled slightly.
