"Hey, this seems to be something left over from our family." The first time she saw the tailband, Fatina found that the coat of arms on the tailband looked very familiar. In heraldry, the same
A family's coat of arms will have some things in common. Because of this, she judged that this thing was related to her.
"Androk - this should indeed be a member of our family." After looking around carefully, Fatina looked at the name and fell into deep thought. "After all, this surname is not common among rat people, and this tattoo
The design of the chapter is completely New World style. In the New World, our family is the only one who uses this potion bottle and unicorn as a heraldry and has the surname Androck. By the way, can you tell me where you found this?"
"It is the last secret base of a certain cult organization, located in an abandoned coal mine on the east side of the river. This senior ratman should have joined a team of demon hunters and died in the battle with the cultist.
"Lawrence said, "Do you know his specific identity?"
"I don't know, squeak -" Fatina smiled bitterly and shook her head. "After all, there are hundreds of people in our family. What's more important is that this person is at least from my grandfather's generation, and I'm not familiar with it at all.
ah!"
"Grandpa's grandfather?" Saifei's face was full of confusion. "How is that possible? This thing has only been around now -"
"Squeak, don't forget that I am a rat." Fatina smiled at this time and stretched out a paw to shake it in front of her face, "The natural lifespan is different from that of you humans, and the ages of each age group are naturally different from humans.
.For example, my grandfather is now 40 years old and is already an old man. Another example is that I am 12 years old now, but I am already an adult. However, as a dragon blood warlock, I will live longer than ordinary humans."
"Okay, I guess we can't be considered using child labor." Lawrence and Sephiel looked at each other knowingly, and at the same time showed a dumbfounding smile. Maybe it's because they are familiar with each other, and the various intelligent races have nothing but comparisons.
Most people other than rough orcs are a little taboo about directly asking a lady's age. So Lawrence and the others never realized that Fatina, as a ratman, was different from them in many ways.
It is very common for the many intelligent races in the world to have different perceptions of time and age. For example, some immortal species will become ancestral friends of certain families, and a big demon may also hate someone because of something.
He lived with his descendants for hundreds of years, and then was killed by a brave man when he jumped out to cause trouble.
"Thank you very much for bringing this thing back." Fatina turned the tailband in her hand and made it disappear. Then she bowed to Lawrence solemnly. "I want to send it back now.
, and then ask the family to send a small team to take my relative home."
After Fatina left, she went out and did not return to the office until the afternoon. According to her, her family successfully confirmed that the identity of the owner of the tailband was indeed a missing senior in the family, and then sent personnel to collect knowledge.
Negotiate with the church. If everything goes well, her senior can go home tonight.
After finishing this matter, Lawrence was in a state of boredom for the next whole week. Apart from sitting in his room reading a book, he only went to the Witcher Guild once to buy some potions. He basically did not dare to practice extraordinary powers.
After all, he is now at a critical moment when he can become an official extraordinary person at any time, so Lawrence is very worried that he will lose his ability to participate in the black iron level competition in the competition between the countries in the New World because of a simple extraordinary practice that suddenly breaks through the current situation.
opportunity.
Because Lawrence returned the sword before, the Hunter Guild was very friendly to him. After a brief chat, he easily bought some potions that were difficult to buy outside at an internal price, and even gave him
Including things like sword oil, there are only magic potions that the Witcher Guild has.
Although Lawrence is not very good at using cold weapons, he is not incapable of using them because he has learned fighting skills. Except for hot weapons, which will lose sword oil when bullets are fired, sword oil is suitable for all cold weapons. Of course, sword oil is suitable for all cold weapons.
, this naturally also applies to Lawrence’s crowbar.
In addition to purchasing some potions and consumables, Lawrence also exchanged 600 yuan of money in the bank for standard gold bars. He planned to wait for a wave of enhancements immediately after entering that astral plane in order to gain more first moves.
.
According to the information Lawrence has seen in the Church of Knowledge these days, every time he participates in a competition, there will always be someone who is on the eve of a breakthrough or suppresses himself for a short period of time without upgrading, and then releases the suppression or quickly waits until he enters the astral plane.
upgrade.
Out of considerations of how much to gain, under normal circumstances not many people do this like Lawrence when he wants to participate in the lowest level black iron competition. However, as the level of the competition increases and the interests increase, people who choose to suppress themselves
There will be more and more.
Of course, this is a real world, not playing some kind of game. Therefore, level suppression does not mean that the battle will be won. Especially if this sudden increase in strength cannot be perfectly mastered, the combat effectiveness will not only be worse than before the upgrade
It will not rise, but will fall instead of rising.
Therefore, only those who have the opportunity to travel to these astral planes but lack the strength choose this path, especially those who have sufficient resources.
In many cases, these spaces will have certain restrictions on power level and resources carried. Suppressing one's own strength before entering the space and then letting go is the biggest advantage that can be obtained with resources under these various restrictions.
In this slightly anxious waiting, a whole week passed. Finally, the time came to the day when we should set off.
When it was time to set off that morning, Sephiel and Fatina sent him to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral. According to the plan, he would set off from here to the entrance to the astral plane located on an island in the Star Sea.
The New World is just a general term. It is actually divided into the Hokuriku, the Middle Road and the Southland. The North and South continents are two huge continents, while the area of the North and South continents connecting the two continents is much smaller.
It's more like a land bridge that looks a little too fat.
The Sea of Stars refers to the eastern part of the Central Continent, the semi-enclosed tropical ocean between the north and south continents. The sea is like pearls scattered with islands of different sizes. Some of them are independent countries, and some are independent countries.
They are colonies, noble territories, company territories, or overseas provinces of various countries in the New and Old Worlds.
It is precisely because these islands are distributed on the ocean just like stars are distributed on the sky, so this place is named the Sea of Stars.
If you want to go from Eagle Castle to the Sea of Stars, there are not many roads to choose from. If you take the land route, you need to repeatedly reverse carriages and trains through the White Eagle Federation and the Elysion Empire, and then end up in Elysium.
Theodosius Port, the southernmost port of the Sion Empire, can be reached by taking the latest steamship and taking a five-six-day skyship, which will take about a month in total.
If you don't want to have to use transportation repeatedly, the port of Eagle Castle also has a direct boat to the destination. But this may take two months.
Of course, this is all thanks to the development of science and technology and the application of steam-powered transportation. Otherwise, it would have taken five or six months for ordinary people to go there. Not to mention the existence of various evil creatures and bandits along the way, so the danger is not the same.
Not low.
However, people like Lawrence who are relatively well-off have another option, and that is to take a steam airship, which has only become popular in the past decade. There is such an airship landing site in the southern suburbs of Eagle Castle. Lawrence remembers that when he was in college, he and a few people
Students who came from a small inland city went there to see the novelty.
However, after he met with the priest in the church, he realized that his previous idea about traveling to the island in the sea of stars was a bit too conservative, and the real situation was much higher than he thought.
