Although Betsy told a lot about the deeds of the female marshal along the way, Hao Ren was actually not very interested in it: in his opinion, it had nothing to do with his mission, and he didn't think he would be involved with it.
What is the intersection between a heroine from another world...
But regardless of whether he was interested or not, he knew a lot of information about the legendary female general Ofra.
When talking about the female general, it is necessary to first mention the so-called "ancient species". This is a new term that Hao Ren only heard tonight. Because he could not find an excuse to directly inquire about the information about the ancient species, he could only rely on
Betsy’s description can be used to roughly infer the situation of this race. The ancient race seems to be a special race that is almost the same as humans, and they live together with humans most of the time. They are rare in number, distributed all over the world, and have no culture of their own.
The system can be said to be a race that has completely assimilated and coexisted with humans. The biggest difference between the ancient species and ordinary humans is their long lifespan and excellent combat effectiveness. Their various qualities are far beyond ordinary people, from physical to mental.
In history, many ancient species have become heroic figures remembered by history, Ofra is just one of them, and she is the most famous one in recent hundreds of years.
Apart from this, Hao Ren still doesn't know the origin of the name Ancient Species and why they have such characteristics.
Marshal Ofra is the most active descendant of the ancient species in recent hundreds of years. Her first activity was hundreds of years ago, when the monarch of Horleta was the famous "Iron-fisted King" Gadon III. In Gadon III
When he was crowned king, the Kingdom of Horleta was undergoing a crisis-ridden transformation and turmoil. The oldest kingdom in the continent ushered in the impact of modern alchemy and new academic trends. The development of new folk alchemy workshops
, the production model challenged the old royal magic research institute, and more and more advanced technologies began to be created by the people instead of being controlled by the royal magician team. This led to the confrontation between the nobility and the new citizen class at that time. At the same time, among the nobility
A confrontation between the new aristocracy and the conservative aristocracy arose - a situation that would inevitably occur if an overly old and large feudal dynasty faced large-scale social progress. At the same time, the new small countries around the Kingdom of Horleta were extremely violent.
The rapid adoption of various new technologies and social forms left this ancient and bloated ancient kingdom behind in a very short period of time - at least from the technological tree.
The Kingdom of Horleta back then was not as gentle as it is now (at least they appear to be very gentle on the surface now). At that time, Horleta retained its character as the continent's most powerful nation and an established hegemon, and had many enemies around it.
Therefore, after the coronation of Gedon III, he faced the biggest crisis that the kingdom had ever faced: the old ruling class in the country was splitting, social order was gradually breaking away from the control of the royal family, and the staid royal advisers were at a loss to face new social problems.
, and there are at least double-digit emerging technology countries around the kingdom that are preparing to form a group to bulldoze his royal city.
That's when Ofra appeared.
There are many versions of legends in later generations. The process of how a new king and an ancient commoner met and how they became staunch comrades is always a topic that historians and playwrights talk about. Betsy is a fan of Marshal Ofra and the standard.
Gossip Girl favors the playwright's account: The young King Gadon III was touring his kingdom in search of a solution to the domestic turmoil. He traveled to the east of the kingdom and was assassinated by a hostile force that had been planned for a long time.
.
Marshal Ofra, who was still an ordinary adventurer at that time (the distinction between adventurers and single-person mercenaries in that era was not as clear as it is now), stepped forward at a critical moment and fought side by side with Gadon III, saving the fate of the entire kingdom.
.
The ambitious young king and the young knight with unique skills who were waiting for the appreciation of the wise king had a fateful encounter, and they walked side by side from then on. In the turbulent times of the kingdom, Gadon III fought against all odds and resisted the pressure of the old nobles.
The girl knight without noble blood was conferred as a new noble and handed over the sword of her kingdom to this confidante. One of them had great talent and the other was skilled in military and horsemanship. In this way, they calmed down all the crises in the kingdom and resolved the domestic conflicts. In the process of groping
A new ruling order was established in China and all surrounding hostile forces were suppressed.
From that day on, the famous Iron General of the Horleta Kingdom began to guard this land, and it has been 435 years.
And any qualified playwright knows that something else should happen: Geddon III and Ophra started dating in the first episode. They haven't reached the forty level yet, and the finale of the story is Gedon III.
He was old and lying on the hospital bed, holding Ofra's hand and tuogu: "My rule should reach its end in the next two days. You must watch my son be crowned king..."
Since this story was narrated by Betsy with all his eyes open, Hao Ren felt that the last paragraph was most likely handwritten by some street writer who did not take it too seriously, and might be widely circulated among women who could not get married.
In the mercenary circle, if you dare to talk about this in the court, it is at least a sin to ask questions later.
In short, Hao Ren knew about the glorious deeds of the female marshal Ofra and that she was the most legendary heroine in this country. As a descendant of an ancient species, Ofra had served as the marshal of the kingdom for more than 400 years.
After several ups and downs and more than a dozen successions of kings, she is still the first military attache of Horleta and the martial arts teacher of every prince. This is incredible to Hao Ren. He can hardly imagine such a fierce person.
How can a person serve a dynasty for four hundred years without moving? It is also hard to imagine why the Horleta royal family could maintain their absolute trust in Ofra during more than a dozen successions of kings. Probably this heroine was indeed true back then.
Did you have anything to do with that talented and iron-fisted king?
Everyone witnessed the dispute between the female marshal and the rector today. They seemed to have differences about the Holy Temple Orb and certain matters involving religious interpretation. Unfortunately, Hao Ren didn't know where to investigate for a while.
The reason in between.
Everyone rested for one night in Layton Town and set out on the road to Beinz Blood Lake early the next morning.
The town is still under martial law. The energy stored in the underground facilities of the church and the church mages stationed here are enough to ensure that the protective shield over the town can be maintained for a long time. It is not known how long this martial law situation will last, Hao
Ren is very concerned about those difficult rock giants. He doesn't know whether the local knights can solve this kind of incident, but the rector seems to be quite confident, and he has probably informed his superiors through church channels.
The changes that occurred in this area of the diocese will soon bring the huge state machinery and religious power into operation. It is better to believe in the ability of those big shots to deal with the crisis.
Ordinary horses around Beinz Blood Lake are easily affected by magic and become frightened and irritable, so Hao Ren and the others left the rented horses in the town. There is also a horse team handover point in the town specifically for mercenaries.
, so there is no need to worry about those animals. Everyone stepped onto the road from the exit on the west side of the town, and they could only walk for a long time. Fortunately, the destination was quite close here, and it was not very far to walk.
.
"Ahead is the Twisted Woods," Betsy was still walking at the front of the team. She pointed at the purple-red color in the distance and reminded loudly, "Be alert and try not to use magic after entering. If you encounter a monster, deal with it as quickly as possible.
In battle, most of the monsters there are very sensitive to magic, and it is easy to gather a large group."
"Got it." Hao Ren agreed. Lily and Vivian beside him had been in a state of transformation since they left the town. Going forward was a dangerous area where monsters were infested. It was necessary to stay vigilant. Vivian's bat
The supervisor was hovering more than a hundred meters above the team, and Lily was sniffing as she walked to check if there was any suspicious smell nearby. Nangong Wuyue looked at Betsy who was leading the way, and thought of leaving town in the morning.
At that time, I saw the scene of two teams of injured mercenaries retreating from the direction of the forest: "Speaking of which, you don't have to follow us here. If you take us to Layton Town, you will have completed the commission."
"You want to say there is danger ahead, right?" Betsy certainly knew what Nangong Wuyue meant, because she also saw those colleagues who had just withdrawn from Beinz's surroundings, "I asked, they just accidentally encountered ordinary monsters.
It's just a small loss. The situation around the Blood Lake is not as bad as the rector said. And I have always kept my word. If I say I will take you to the lake, I will definitely take you to the lake - I also want to have good luck.
Can you find the treasure by the way?"
Hao Ren smiled and decided to bring a tablet to this sincere girl the next time he came - Raven 12345 would reimburse it anyway.
After entering the Twisted Woodland, Hao Ren immediately felt that the atmosphere around him was different from the outside. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
