Tansen, the land of chaos, Karen Mountains.
The brown-haired man kicked away the dead person hanging on the sword, and swung the sword to shake off the blood remaining on the blade. At this time, his body was steaming and his whole body was red, like a boiled crab, but only Those familiar with it know that this is just the price of a spell.
The man's name is Rodney, he is a source-level 3 transcendent, and he is considered a small celebrity in this chaotic place. However, inconsistent with his status as a senior transcendent, he does not have a prominent position in the same level transcendent. Or a huge property, because he is a heretic.
Infidels, this identity is not considered popular in the large stable nations of mankind. The Austin Empire will accept some because of its opposition to the religious nations. In addition, infidels mostly seek life in war-torn places or small nations lacking extraordinary power. , The rest will move to the borderless place of the human world to fend for themselves.
Of course, as a high-level transcendent, Rodney does not have to worry about his way. When he was young, he indeed smashed through the countries with blood in his chest, but after Rodney was injured in an adventure and left sequelae. So he was relieved, and he returned to his hometown and became a village head of the heresy village of Chaos Lands.
The Land of Chaos is a very special place, and nobles in various countries know it, because precious alienated creatures, which are materials for monsters, are often produced here, but if they are allowed to come in person, they will probably be regarded as lunatics immediately.
The reason why Tansen is called the place of chaos is that it is a place where nobles almost have no access. Whether it is a great noble of another country or a king of a small country, as long as you enter here, it is basically a lamb to be slaughtered. The strength of residents far exceeds outside imagination.
Heretics, cultists, these guys who can’t live in other places hide in this lofty mountain for various reasons. Tansen is like a vacuum cleaner that hides dirt and attracts these powerful but powerful people. People with nowhere to go.
This is a sinister place where only the strong or the strong can survive. Due to some unknown reasons, the land of Tansen is numerous and powerful. Disastrous beasts will occur every few years. It can be said that It is completely unsuitable for human living. Under the long-term survival of the fittest, nearly half of the people living in this land are extraordinary.
They are powerful, but they are not rich, so whenever an outsider enters Tansen, unless it is a strong dragon, they will be severely slaughtered.
In normal times, the residents of Tansen generally form independent villages according to their own sects, and they sometimes have alliances and wars with each other. Although the heretics have many beliefs, it does not mean that they have problems in their brains. They are the same for the vicious cultists. Very disgusted.
Rodney is one of these people who hate cultists.
After killing a cultist, the brown-haired man was out of breath. The cultist who had just died by his knife was not just a little guy, but a source-level 4 master.
The boundary between source level 3 and source level 4 is obvious. Originally, there should be a huge gap, but Rodney's sequelae from his early injuries made it difficult for him to continue fighting, and he was not facing a source level 4. The man looked like a typhoon passed by. In the mountains and forests, there were already a dozen people lying here and there, almost no corpses.
Undoubtedly, this was a fierce battle, but unlike the usual vendettas or battles for the turf, Rodney was very disturbed by the reasons for this battle.
This group of damn cultists are here to grab things.
The scales of the zombie, this is an ancient curse preserved in the village where Rodney is located. As for why it is ancient... This starts with Rodney who brought it home.
Yes, this "Snake God's Scale" was brought back by Rodney from the outside many years ago. Rodney was not alone in his journey into the world, but in an adventure group.
The world of Shia is too big. There is a large amount of uncultivated land outside the area known to mankind. However, the scope of human activities has been constantly changing from ancient times to the present. The so-called uncultivated land may actually have civilization in the distant past. They may belong to ancient humans, or belong to the intelligent race in myths and legends.
Not to mention too far, it is the ancient Austin Empire that perished after the Turin change a thousand years ago. There are also piles of human relics and good things, many of which are even priceless treasures.
Such a big temptation naturally attracts countless people to embark on a search journey, and the adventure group is a spontaneous organization that visits historical sites and finds treasures. It can be large or small, and its strength is variable. There are everyone in it, and different countries are different. Faith and the like are common things, as long as the gold coins harvested are enough to manage, everything can be accommodated.
The adventure group is one of the few industries where pagans can work steadily. Rodney was upright and strong when he was young. He has really made a lot of reputation with his team, but just like many famous adventure groups, even they It's hard to escape bad luck.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get wet shoes? It is common for adventure groups to accompany with danger every day, and even take the initiative to step into danger. Rodney, who was once young and energetic, felt that his team was the exception, but the final result was cruel.
All the partners who got along day and night were all dead, only Rodney was seriously injured and escaped, and it was this "snake god's scales" that reappeared in the world as he was taken out of the ruins.
According to the deceased scholars who accompanied the team, the age of their in-depth relics was at least before the establishment of the Second Age Ancient Austin Empire, which is at least more than two thousand years ago, and this "snake god's scale" was enshrined in the relics. The collections are estimated to be pushed back more than a thousand years.
After the adventure group was completely destroyed, Rodney was disheartened and unwilling to sell the team’s final harvest to the merchants, so he returned to his hometown with this humble treasure, but he did not expect that the black scales were there. The place of chaos played a big role.
Since bringing back the "Snake God's Scales", the monsters in Chaos Land seemed to be afraid of something to approach Rodney’s village, and the monsters of snakes nearby began to increase significantly, but the magic is these snakes. The class will not attack the people in the village, on the contrary it seems to be protecting them.
Such a miraculous situation certainly attracted people's attention, and Rodney was also elected as the village chief. Since then, the village has been smoothly for more than ten years, and the originally small villages have begun to develop into a medium-scale.
Originally speaking, relying on the muffled sound of "Snake God's Scales" to make a fortune, Rodney's village may become one of the large settlements in the Land of Chaos in a few decades, but I didn't expect a disaster from the sky. I don't know why recently. Tansen's Marta Chamber of Commerce followed them.
The Marta Chamber of Commerce is one of the rare local chambers of commerce near Tansen. On the surface, it is a general chamber of commerce that provides raw materials to various countries, but Rodney and a few people know that it is actually a whitewashing organization organized by cultists.
From the beginning of the New Year more than half a month ago, the Marta Chamber of Commerce got the news of "Zombie Scales" from nowhere, and came to "negotiate" with Rodney. At first they wanted to buy at a low price. After being flatly rejected by Rodney, he immediately revealed his true nature, intending to do the unprofitable business of killing people and making money.
But the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, how can a village like Rodney be an ordinary place
This village is a descendant of [Power] Gentile infidels. [Power] The giants inherited from the ancients in [Power] Legends are full of fighting power but the price is relatively fierce. In history, their ancestors seem to have relied on extraordinary abilities. Went through the religious country, but later fled due to a huge change, and since then took root in Tansen, the land of chaos.
Therefore, although there are few people in Rodney village and not many extraordinary people, they are all able to fight. The cultists can be regarded as kicking the iron plate, and they are directly killed on the spot.
Originally, Rodney didn’t care about these episodes. There are too many cultists in Chaos Land, just like Maizi, and their boss probably didn’t notice the lack of his men, but what he didn’t expect was that he stared at him this time. It was not these cultists, or even the Marta Chamber of Commerce, who followed them, but a larger organization.
Someone gave a high price to the Tamar Chamber of Commerce for the "Snake God's Scales" in Rodney's hands. This was just asked by him from the opponent. Although the specific amount is not known yet, it is undoubtedly a place of chaos. Unimaginable huge sums of money.
The evidence is the dozens of broken corpses at your feet. Even in a place of chaos, Source Level 4 can't be abandoned at will, let alone a dozen
"Rodney, what's going on with you?"
The voice of an old man on the other side of the woods rang, and Rodney, who had just gotten out of the pot, hurriedly responded.
"Wood, I solved it here, but I won't be able to move for a while."
"Hold on, we are here!"
As soon as the old man's voice fell, Rodney heard a "bang", and saw an old man holding a wooden staff sitting on a rocket with his butt and rising into the sky with exhaust gas. He hung in the air twice, then Seeing Rodney, who was steaming, plummeted down.
"boom!"
"You...cough cough cough!"
"Rodney, it's great that you're okay, I've taken care of that in the village."
Amidst the smoke and dust, a gray-haired old man walked quickly to the man’s side. His eyes were clear, he had a gentle scholar's long beard, his clothes were a bit dirty, and he had a small bag on his waist. With an excited expression on his face, he rushed towards the man with dust.
"I'm talking about you, cough cough! Can't you just touch it down?"
"Come on? Is there this one in our source quality? Do you think my soles are numb when I land like this?"
Wood waved his hand, raised his staff and summoned a light breeze. The smoke and dust went with the wind, and Rodney's panting condition improved a lot.
"So since you have solved the enemy, why are you so anxious?"
"The enemy is all trivial now! I am anxious to see you because I have a big thing to tell you!"
"event?"
Rodney raised his head strangely, seeing Wood with an excited expression on his face.
"Last night, our gods recovered!"
