(cheers, the foreign version of "eggplant", the pronunciation and movement are similar to a smile)
"Cheers!" Everyone said with smiles in front of the table with a large number of potions, formulas and spiritual materials.
Click! Nora took this photo.
"Okay, okay, those who should drink the potion should drink the potion, and those who should collect materials should collect the materials!" Asker waved his hand and said.
In this transaction with the Night Watch organization, Eleanor and Mier gained the most.
The former got the potions of "Tenacity I" and "Will I", and the latter got the potions of "Vision I" and "Intuition I". It means that these two people can steadily advance to level 4 and level 3. It is only a matter of time.
.
Next is Nora and Medea. The former has obtained three materials for "Spirit Body I", and currently only lacks benzylamine.
As an industrial product, you have to go to the industrial areas on the outskirts of the city to buy it, which is not too difficult.
The latter's "Conspiracy I" still lacks two ingredients: king squid ink and serotonin.
Finally, it was Paige and Hilda, who got the formulas of "Plague I" and "Ancient
How much effort does it take to buy it?
Therefore, this time it can be regarded as a fruitful return, and the harvest is comparable to that of the last looting of the Coliseum of Constantinople...if the 3,100 pounds spent are not taken into account.
"Should I take Will I first? Or Tenacity I?" Regarding the next potion, Eleanor tried to seek Asker's opinion.
"Let's not mention the word 'should' for now." Ask said with a smile, "Let me briefly explain the functions of the two potions."
"The toughness sequence is a powerful passive bonus. It will increase your resistance to damage, whether it is physical or caused by extraordinary power."
"Your body will be less susceptible to injuries, and wounds will heal faster. At the same time, you will be less susceptible to illness, poisoning, aging, and any negative state will last shorter on you, such as stiffness, stiffness, dizziness, and staggering.
, paralysis, etc.”
"Let's talk about the will sequence. This is the main sequence of your 'War Crusader' bloodline, and it is also a kind of mental sequence."
"The human mind can be divided into the true self, the id and the superego. Among them, the id in the body is the 'desire' sequence mastered by Medea, and the superego in the mind is the 'will' sequence.
.”
"Will I will make your mental will firmer and your ability to focus will be greatly improved. When you are fully focused, you will even feel that time is slowing down."
"Your spirituality will be stronger, and you will notice more details in combat. You will be able to complete more delicate movement changes, which is very beneficial for you to learn higher-level techniques."
"That is to say." Eleanor pondered for a long time and said, "Perseverance will strengthen my body, while willpower will strengthen my mind."
"Absolutely." Asker said, "From the perspective of extraordinary strength, tenacity will indeed accelerate the transformation into physical strength, while will will promote the improvement of spiritual strength."
"I choose the Will Sequence." Eleanor made her decision. "If I fight alone, the Tenacity Sequence can indeed strengthen my survivability. But after all, I am in this team, and the Will Sequence can improve my ability, as well as my ability to survive."
The whole team was more helpful too.”
"As long as you decide." Ask said meaningfully.
So Eleanor took the medicine, and Mi'er walked over next. Her sweet and childish little face looked at him eagerly, like a cat.
"You also want to ask about the order of the potions?" Asik leaned down and touched her head.
"Yeah." Mi'er hugged his hand that was on her head.
"Visual sequences will enhance your dynamic vision ability, allowing you to see objects moving at high speed or farther away."
"The intuitive sequence will give you the ability to perceive danger. Even if you don't see anything, you can still 'see' the danger coming in time at the most critical moment."
"Metaphorically speaking, Vision I strengthens your physical eyes, while Intuition I gives you an extra pair of 'mind's eyes', do you understand?"
"I choose intuition." Mi'er said, "My eyesight is not bad to begin with."
"Then go." Ask said, "Let your sister Nora help you look after you and don't lose control."
"Okay." Mi'er said obediently.
………………
The Blue Sword Mercenary Group is about to welcome two newly promoted members.
On the other side, the night watchmen are also studying this undead change.
All the objects that the Black Knights had brought back that could serve as clues were now displayed in front of the senior officials.
"It has been confirmed that these black knights are the Companions of the King, the 'Companion Cavalry' of Alexander the Great at the end of the Second Age." Phoebus explained to everyone present.
"Judging from the style of the power armor, it is indeed the military armor that was popular on the Siris Peninsula in the Second Age, because at that time, this armor had a linen woven lining inside the exoskeleton to prevent shocks."
"The ancient Solomon Republic in the Third Age improved the exoskeleton structure. After that, mainstream power armor no longer had this lining."
"Another point that can be proved is the weapon." Phoebus picked up the weapon on the table, "The Xiphos sword is 3D printed with high molecular weight carbon fiber. Currently, only the Holy See still retains the production technology of this material.
, and it can never be used as a weapon, it is too luxurious."
"Finally, it is jointly claimed by multiple knights in the squadron that the black knight has some weird extraordinary ability. It can create a phantom when waving a weapon, and the phantom has the same attack power as the main body."
"Phantom sword?" The other night watchmen guessed the answer immediately.
They knew nothing about the Nine Star Styles from the East. But another extraordinary swordsmanship, the Phantom Sword, was as thunderous to them.
"That's right, the ancient Macedonian secret swordsmanship, the Phantom Sword." Phoebus said solemnly, "According to historical records, Alexander the Great's generals and king's knights were also his friends and students, so they were all his friends and students.
Master his extraordinary swordsmanship, the Phantom Sword."
"The use of the phantom sword requires the extraordinary power of the arcane sequence. Alexander the Great's own bloodline is meteors and fire showers, and if the knights of the King and Friends want to use the phantom sword, they must rely on the outside world to supplement the arcane power."
Phoebus picked up a broken arm armor and showed the mithril pattern on the back to everyone: "The relevant evidence is the magic circuit on the armor, drawn with sintered mithril powder, with the wizard's stone connected to the end.
The blood of Alexander the Great himself.”
"The Wizard's Stone is responsible for providing energy, and the blood of Alexander the Great changes the energy properties and converts it into arcane power. Is this the principle?" Kolmer said doubtfully, "But I remember that the Han of Carthage
Nibal is also famous for his phantom sword, but he is of the undead order and does not use any wizard stones."
"That's because Hannibal's phantom sword is an immortal phantom sword that he improved." Phoebus said, "Alexander the Great died after conquering the East, and his phantom sword was also brought to the world by his generals.
Everywhere.”
"Among them, the Carthaginians in the southern continent learned this kind of swordsmanship from the Ptolemaic dynasty. Later, Hannibal Barca improved this swordsmanship, integrating the nature of the undead into the phantom, so that it did not require
With arcane power, multiple phantoms can be created at one time."
"In comparison, the Immortal Phantom Sword is more flexible and suitable for one-to-many group battles; while the phantom created by the Phantom Sword itself is only single, but its combat capability is almost as powerful as the main body."
"Let's not talk about the phantom sword for now." The silver-moon knight commander, Ms. Ellowen with long blond hair, frowned and said, "What I'm more concerned about is why the king's friend knight under Alexander the Great a thousand years ago now behaves like
The undead form of the Black Knight appears here?"
"I'm afraid only Alexander the Great himself can answer this question." Phoebus shrugged.
"I'm not kidding you, Phoebus." Ellowen sighed, "Now that the kings and knights have emerged from the earth, even if Alexander the Great himself returns from the underworld tomorrow, I won't feel the slightest difference.
Accident."
"It's impossible." Kolmo denied, "Today's upper limit of the level of the demon tide is only level 5. In history, Alexander the Great was already a level 28 demigod before he was poisoned and died. Now even if he comes back from the dead, even if he is slightly
If you mobilize your spirituality, you will be drained of your strength and die again."
"What if he doesn't do it himself?" Ellowen asked in return, "Even if he is only directing behind the scenes, with his military command ability comparable to that of Caesar and Hannibal, he is enough to cause heavy casualties to our Night's Watch."
"However, this is just your guess." Kolmo reminded her, "There is no evidence that Alexander the Great has returned from the underworld."
"There is no evidence before that the black knight and other high-level undead will appear in this mutation." Ellowen said unceremoniously, "If it hadn't been for the warning from the headquarters, I don't know how many knights' retinues would have been there for the first time.
Sacrifice in exploration. We should always prepare for the worst, shouldn’t we?”
"What should we do in the worst-case scenario?" Kolmo asked her, "If Alexander the Great comes back from the dead, it is impossible for our Eastern Legion to solve this mutation, even if the headquarters dispatches the Parthian Paladins to come over for support, it will be useless.
"
"We can apply for space-based railgun strikes and use small nuclear bombs." Ellowin said, "Central bombing, once and for all."
"One less space-based nuclear bomb is needed. The headquarters cannot waste it here just because it is 'possible' that the ghost of Alexander the Great appears." Kolmer sighed.
"Well, it seems that the headquarters would rather let us use our lives to fill this unknown hole than use their precious nuclear bombs that fly over our heads every day." Ellowen stood up, not hiding the look on his face.
Angry look.
"We Silver Moon Knights have already sacrificed two people, and there will be more casualties in the next few days. After this mutation is over, I will smash the metal nameplates of each fallen knight, together with the death list, to those at the headquarters.
Get on the master’s head!”
She walked out of the command tent angrily, and the remaining people looked at each other.
"We, the Knights of the Morning Star, lost five times as many people as Silver Moon this time." Phoebus sighed, "So what? Isn't the duty of the Night Watch to destroy the undead? We won't go deep into this death."
Who will deal with the supernatural changes?"
"That's right." Commander Bryce, who had remained silent, said, "What does the Law of the Razor say?"
"Don't add more entities if it's not necessary." The two knight commanders replied.
The original meaning of this razor rule is "simple is better than complex". In the Night Watch organization, it has been interpreted into two meanings.
Ordinary knights think that it means to focus on fighting and not to think wildly. Only the senior officials know that this sentence means "what can be done with one cent, don't do it with two cents."
There is no food left at the Night Watch headquarters!
"That's right. We can ask the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group to explore the road with us!" Phoebus suddenly said, "A wild fighting organization like theirs is definitely better at how to save lives in unknown environments.
We night watch knights have more experience!"
This is nonsense at first sight, because no matter how experienced the mercenary group is, it is impossible for them to have more military experience than the night watchmen who have received formal training. After all, there is a gap between professional soldiers and amateur mercenaries.
However, the subtext that Phoebus did not say was that by letting the Blue Sword mercenary group explore the road together and share the damage, we neither have to pay the cost nor take the risk.
At worst, let them take the lion's share of the spoils.
"Well, indeed. With the combat skills of Captain Asker, he can easily win against a power armor knight, so there should be no problem with a few more." Commander Bryce understood his subtext and thought.
said.
"That's right." Kolmo also understood immediately and said with a smile, "In my opinion, the true strength of Captain Asker is unfathomable. Even in front of Alexander the Great, his Blue Sword Mercenary Group is
It’s not like he doesn’t have the strength to fight.”
You are exaggerating! The other two were speechless.
If even Alexander the Great could fight, the Blue Sword mercenary group would have gone to heaven long ago, and we, the Night Watchmen, would not be able to honor them as our ancestors.
"Ahem, Alexander doesn't care for the moment. I think if there are demigod-level undead, the Blue Sword Mercenary Group can still handle it." Phoebus quickly smoothed things over, "Besides, we Night Watchmen will not stand idly by, of course we will.
Support them remotely."
The words "remote support" simply spoke to Commander Bryce's heart.
Long-range means hiding behind and firing safely without having to face the attacks of the undead.
"Then let's do it!" Bryce said in agreement, "Your Excellency Phoebus, go ask about the Blue Sword's intentions and find out their conditions."
