Scene 114: Black Forest Border (3) (Second update)
Brando understood Tamar's thoughts.
The Black Forest is a wild land that has never been cultivated. Few humans have set foot here. The rules affected by Chaos will be renewed every once in a while. The forest is full of strange things, and there are treasures buried under the surface that humans can never imagine.
And because of the influence of the Magic Moon, not only are there all kinds of monsters in the forest, but magic plants are also full of vitality. In some places, magic gathers and even forms large open-air magic crystal mines - streams with sparkling gems flowing in them.
, gold coins pouring out of the fountain, this is not just a description in poetry, it may also become a reality here.
The Black Forest is not only a restricted area for civilization, but also an unknown treasure house in the eyes of mankind. However, since the Second Holy War, many ethnic groups on the continent have been drained of their strength by internal friction. The historical scene of pioneering knights pouring into the jungle has never been seen again.
There is no way to reproduce it.
However, those bizarre legends in history have survived after all. It is said that the forest is rich in rare materials - the river flowing with moonlight can revive the dead, and the red veins under the earth contain wise men who can turn steel into gold.
With the blood of the dead, dragon bones crawling in the dragon's graveyard are more precious than diamonds, and there are leaves that can be ignited to create a fantasy of heaven.
All of these are the greatest wealth in the eyes of alchemists. As long as you get one of them, you can create legendary items that will last a lifetime. Every alchemist yearns for the Black Forest, but most of those who dare to enter it personally die in the belly of the beast.
This is another fact. The Black Forest is also the area with the highest concentration of monster lairs.
"Master Tamar can actually entrust me directly," Brando shook his head: "Actually, I was negligent and forgot that the Black Forest is the treasure house that every alchemist most yearns for."
"Actually, I think Master Tamar also has his own concerns." Antitina suddenly smiled and replied.
"What's the meaning?"
"Just ask Tiya." The aristocratic girl gave a rare pass.
Brando immediately looked at Flo.
The elder sister among the wild elves turned her head expressionlessly and shouted to her younger sister: "Tiya——"
"Sister?" The younger sister ran back quickly, but when she saw her older sister's expression was not friendly, she immediately kept her distance obediently and cautiously, and asked cautiously: "What's the matter, sister?"
"My lord wants to ask you a question." Fuluo replied.
"Lord?" Tiya turned around and looked at Brando with wide eyes. Looking at her, she saw that her sister was much scarier than this man - in fact, she was more willing to get close to this man on the journey than Fuluo.
The lord who often told her stories.
From this aspect, Fuluo is quite a failure as a sister.
"Tiya, what did Master Tamar ask you to do?" Brando asked.
"Collect materials, Lord!"
Isn't this normal? Brando looked back at Antitina. The aristocratic girl smiled, and she nudged her chin towards him, signaling him to continue asking.
Brando was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and continued to ask: "What materials are there."
"Master Tamar said so," Tiya began to recite with her head shaking, but she immediately received a fierce glare from Flo - the little girl's head shrank slightly, and she immediately became more calm, so she pouted.
Whispered: "It should be easy to find secondary magic crystals in the forest, so collect as many as possible. Among them are moon crystals, gold crystals..."
"There are also magic plants, blood-stained roses and whiptail flowers..."
"In terms of mineral deposits, it is of course the best to find open-pit mithril mines, but holy silver is also good, as well as cold iron, Nasr raw ore..."
"I heard that there are springs in the Black Forest that can keep people young forever, wings of archangels, poems of dragons, and hearts of gold..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Seeing that Tiya didn't seem to want to finish her sentence, Brando hurriedly stopped. This list of materials was okay at first, but became more and more outrageous as it went on. The fountain of eternal youth was already a legend.
something.
The wings of the archangel, the poem of the dragon, and the golden core are all artifact-level things. That guy from Emotion Tamar really regards the Black Forest as a dwarf's treasure house. He just opens the door and moves things out.
That’s it.
If it was really that good, humans would have swarmed in long ago. You must know that although the black forest breeds countless treasures, the dangers are also equal.
There are less dangers and less mystery in the outer areas of the Black Forest, but various mineral deposits and rare magical plants are also rare, so the second half of Tamar's list is obviously a daydream.
But Brando can understand Tamar's thoughts. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to enter the Black Forest and survive, let alone take out anything. Self-protection here is already a luxury.
Not that lord would dare to throw the golden power in his hand into such a bottomless abyss. After all, no one knows whether he will lose his troops and lose his generals without even seeing a single person. The reason why Brando dared to do this is that
Because he is familiar with this area north of the Kalanga Mountains.
After all, he was once a player, and only players can explore the dark forest regardless of their lives.
But the young man thought for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea. He was worrying about the training plan for his great boys, and now with Tamar's list, it was simple - he planned to spend most of his time on the road every day.
The rest of the time is spent looking at the pictures.
He further thought that these people could be divided into three groups, one for him, one for Akane, and one for Kulan. Then after camping every day, the scores would be calculated as a group based on their performance and what they found. In this way, both
Competition between groups can also cultivate the spirit of cooperation among the same group, which is a good way.
Brando made a mental draft, and then he turned back to review his great boys, but before that, he heard a shout of surprise:
"Meria!"
Brando recognized the voice of Caglis. He turned around and saw the young man dragging Mordenkainen in red robes quickly through the crowd and walked toward a young man who got off the carriage.
.
"Caglis? You, why are you here?" The young man was a little confused at first, but then he was stunned and blinked at the familiar friend in front of him.
Brando saw that the young man had long blond hair that was rare in the local area, and his eyes were as blue as the sea water - more like a northern nation - but he was wearing a Cruz travel suit similar to Brando's.
The long sword on the belt has been confiscated, and the whole person looks slightly slender and feminine, standing there more like a woman with long hair hanging down her shoulders.
But even if she is a woman, she is still a wealthy lady.
"I understand," the young man reacted, opened his mouth slightly and said suddenly: "Your father was defeated, it turns out you came with him."
"Hey." Caglis looked at his old friend and smiled indifferently.
"I originally thought you didn't come, but I didn't expect you would lose even with Sir Mintai." The young man's blue eyes were a little worried, and he frowned slightly and said, "You surrendered to them, Caglis?
"
"Yes," Caglis nodded nonchalantly: "But then again, why are you here, Melia?" Of course he knew the origins of these young people, but he couldn't help being surprised when he saw his friends appearing here.
.
"I was captured by those mercenaries. I was just passing by that area with my followers-" Melia blushed.
"You ran out secretly, right?" Caglis saw through his friend's predicament at a glance.
"I, I'm not."
"Okay, okay, we all know about you, so stop pretending, don't worry, I will protect you here. But I have to say that you are serious this time, my eldest lady, you have to
Are you ready to go to the Black Forest?" Caglis suddenly showed a look of gloating.
"Don't call me that!" Meria suddenly became angry and glared at him, but then her eyes widened: "I want to go to the Black Forest?"
"Otherwise, what do you think you are doing here?" Caglis raised his head and glanced at the woods: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, this is the border of the Black Forest -"
Melia's face turned pale and her body swayed, but Caglis grabbed her and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it the Black Forest? Besides, I'm still here!" He reminded in a low voice, pointing to the surroundings.
The mercenary signaled him not to move too much.
"How can I go to the Black Forest?" Melia was a little at a loss: "Caglis, you have to help me."
"No, I think this is an opportunity, Melia." Caglis shook his head.
"What chance?" Melia was puzzled.
"Haven't you always wanted to get rid of your bastard father? This is an opportunity! I think my new lord may not sell your father's account-" Caglis smiled evilly, suddenly feeling that this idea was good
.
"But what can I do if I stay here?" Melia still didn't understand: "Besides, I don't want to go to the Black Forest. There are monsters in the Black Forest, and we will die!"
Caglis held his forehead and lowered his voice: "My eldest lady, you are a reserve priest. How can you be so timid?" He suddenly realized something and glanced around cautiously. He further lowered his voice and whispered to Mei Li.
Ya whispered something. Melia was a little confused at first, but soon her eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
Brando saw Caglis and the young man walking aside, and the conversation became quieter and quieter. But he didn't listen much, anyway, he was waiting for these two sneaky men to enter the black forest.
Even if the guy has some small calculations, he can't cause any trouble, not to mention he has plenty of time to slowly observe the other party's details, but what makes Brando a little curious is that Caglis's friends can naturally only be nobles, that young man
The temperament of the people seems to confirm this - but why are there nobles among the young people he recruited?
Brando is not so arrogant that he thinks that at this time, the gentry and nobles in the Fir Baron will start to support him. Unless they don't want their heads, it will be enough for them to let Earl Denel settle the accounts in the future.
Drink a pot.
He turned back and looked at Antitina with doubtful eyes: "Who are those people?"
"Noble, I heard he is a descendant of the manor."
"You mean there's more than one?" Brando felt that this situation was getting weirder and weirder. He didn't want some guys of unknown origins to be mixed into his Knight Guards. Although the backgrounds of these manor children were pretty clean, maybe Firson
The gentry around the city will not support him yet, but he believes that time is not far away.
It's just that this situation is a little weird anyway.
Antitina nodded.
"How did they get here?"
"I secretly came out on my own, that's what the mercenaries said." The noble girl replied: "It seems that you came here because of your fame. Lord, your reputation has already spread -"
"Interesting," Brando couldn't help but touched his cheek and asked a little shamelessly: "Am I that famous?"
Antitina raised her head and rolled her eyes at him angrily.
