Tread!
More than a dozen fine horses stepped on the road, making a dull sound.
Six knights and more than a dozen war horses. With this configuration, one can see that it is the kind of elite noble army. The equipment they carry is absolutely extraordinary. An existence that is extremely difficult to provoke, even ogres dare not presumptuously.
At night, Wu Ming and the others set up a tent. Of course, as a nobleman and lord, he doesn’t need to do these things. Ava prepared everything for him like a dog. Jack is in charge of guarding. It was preparing dinner, as for Beatrice? At this time, her small hands were massaging Wu Ming's shoulders, relieving the fatigue of a day's journey.
When the pot boiled and the broth inside was foaming, Wu Ming took out the seasoning bottle and sprinkled some spices into it, and a tempting aroma came to his nostrils immediately.
"This is nutmeg, fine salt... My God, and black pepper, one grain can be sold for a Jin Delong black pepper!"
Karitan looked at Wu Ming with indescribable amazement, as if an ordinary person saw Shenhao.
If she hadn't known that she was not as beautiful as Beatrice, she might be thinking of seducing Wu Ming now.
The seasoned broth was delicious, and even with white bread, these people were quite satisfied.
After wolfing it down, Wu Ming called a few people over: "You probably know the purpose of this time. I have obtained a treasure map and I am going to go on an expedition. As for the target, it is in the Eagle's Nest Mountain Range!"
"So it's there!"
Jack, who had been silent for a long time, even though the black pepper only moved him a little, finally spoke up: "No wonder the lord only called us a few!"
"That is the most dangerous mountain range in the north. Ordinary people can't climb it at all. I heard that some places are so narrow that they can only fit a boot. There are deep cliffs on both sides. Only eagles with wings can climb it. to the top."
Carita lightly added on the side.
"Well, there it is."
Wu Ming nodded: "Therefore... it is very unrealistic to mobilize the army, and I can only rely on you..."
With Carita, as long as she puts more thought into it, she might not be able to obtain the inheritance of the witch.
It's just that Wu Ming has read a lot of books, and unfortunately found that the power of a witch not only requires a specific bloodline, but also a gender requirement, which is quite cheating.
The power system of the entire world is almost understood by him at this time.
There are very few legal professions, and there are still restrictions on extraordinary power. How difficult is it to seize that chance
He was unwilling to undergo blood baptism and become a knight.
In this way, there are really not many choices left.
"Fortunately... there is a backup option!"
Wu Ming glanced at Beatrice again, somewhat comforted in his heart.
Conquering the world requires great strength, which cannot be provided by simple knight baptism.
If he vaguely has clues about this, and even the scrolls contributed by Alfred cannot provide him with such power, then he can only take the prepared path, purify the blue blood, and become a warlock.
At least, judging from Beatrice's reaction, the physique and physical strength bonus provided by the blue dragon is not inferior to that of ordinary knight baptism, and the ice power of the law system is also worth looking forward to.
Inside the tent, Wu Ming opened the scroll.
The map above, as well as the dark brown font, the pentagram circle, etc., have been cured by him with a special potion, so Beatrice doesn't need to bleed every time he reads it.
"The year of flowers and green leaves, the third moon of harvest..."
Wu Ming scratched his head, and had to say that the chronology of this world is ridiculously crude. Up to now, he only slightly guessed that it was a harvest year, and it was in these few years. As for the specific time , I am afraid that all the scholars in the university city will not be able to crack it.
"The five ancient kings are talking about the five kings who once conquered five special regions, including Fengying Plain, Highland, Cape of Storms, University City, and Emerald Port, and established a kingdom. Have they ever made an oath?"
"As for the world-destroying giant snake, it is really only spread in mythology. It seems to be the origin of the world and the end of the world..."
"It's the power of the people, which is about a power inheritance, and it should be quite strong. After all, it is a power prepared to fight against the destruction of the world."
This is the best inheritance that Wu Ming can find, and perhaps the highest level.
Just to determine this map, he spent many years, and finally locked the range on the Eagle's Nest Mountain Range.
Now is the time to reap the fruits.
…
"Is that the Eagle's Nest Mountain Range? It's really high!"
A few days later, Beatrice looked at the continuous mountain at the end of her vision, piercing the clouds like a sharp sword, and let out a gasp.
"My lord, traces of a group of ogres have been found ahead!"
A black shadow flashed, and Mallet's figure emerged, his face quite ugly: "I think they will attack us."
Even ogres are intelligent, and they won't provoke existences that they can't afford to provoke at first sight.
"I don't think they dare to come up. Even if they come, I only need a few charges to make them scream continuously and their souls fall into hell!"
Jack, who was wiping the giant sword, snorted coldly.
"Mullet is an excellent scout, since he made such a judgment, he must have a reason!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, looked at Mallette, his voice was low.
"Because I saw a guy who looks like an ogre wizard!"
Mallette took a deep breath and said slowly.
"What?"
Ava blurted out: "Ogre wizard or something, isn't it just a legend?"
"Since witches exist, why can't ogre wizards appear?"
Carita smiled smugly, seeing this little guy who had no respect for witches deflated made her feel quite happy.
However, after seeing Wu Ming's expression, she quickly figured out what she knew:
"Ogres worship the god of flames and the spirits of their ancestors. They believe that by eating a part of the enemy, they can gain that part of their power. Among 10,000 ogres, there will be one lucky guy like this, Get in touch with the spirits of the ancestors, or the god of flames, or some existence that we cannot detect or speculate, and gain the power of spells!
Of course... they call this a ritual blessing, and the guy who makes it through is called an ogre wizard, the absolute leader, wise man, and sometimes witch doctor of a large tribe. "
"Such ogre wizards are very dangerous. Basically, every time one appears, it means the integration of ogres and a super-large tribe. In the past, once it was discovered, even the war would stop. All the lords Let's send troops together to conquer the ogre until the wizard is captured and killed."
Carita looked into Wu Ming's eyes: "I suggest that you call up the army immediately and notify the nobles nearby, my lord!"
"Unfortunately!"
Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders: "The nobles and princes of Fengying Plain have long forgotten this tradition. As for the Earl of Lanshan and Viscount Garcia? I am afraid that no one can bring them back."
"Then, I suggest retreating immediately!"
Carita bit her lip.
"I'll go and observe first, Mallette!"
Wu Ming stood up and picked up his Dragon Heart Sword.
Ava shrank his neck involuntarily. Although he knew that this lord hadn't been baptized by a knight, he couldn't break through the limit. In theory, he should not be far from him, but for some reason, when the lord picked up the long sword, he His whole body was covered with cold hairs, as if the blade of the long sword could cut his throat at any time.
"My lord is worthy of being the champion of the martial arts competition, the rumored sword master in civilian clothes!" '
He sighed inwardly, and saw Beatrice stand up again, and seemed to want to follow, but was dissuaded by Wu Ming: "It is enough to detect two people, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
"Come on, Mallette!"
Wu Ming and Marlette came under the Eagle's Nest Mountain Range, immediately abandoned their horses and began to climb over the mountains.
Mallette led the way without a word.
If you look carefully, you will find that his movements are almost the same as Wu Ming's, not only walking like flying in the dense forest, but also avoiding leaving a lot of traces.
Even, Wu Ming's actions have a sense of smoothness like flowing clouds and flowing water, which compares him.
His agility was originally suggested by the lord.
And that tragic experience deeply planted the seed of loyalty to the lord in his heart, and he never dared to betray again.
"My lord, look!"
After turning over a mountain ridge, an ogre camp appeared in front of Wu Ming.
Compared with those almost beast-like ogres, the camps here are quite well-built. The thick tree stumps are sharpened and erected in rows to form the walls of the city, and there are simple gates , Refusing horses and other devices.
At first glance, this is simply a bandit camp, not a tribe of ogres.
"And... there are a lot of people, there should be thousands of people..."
Seeing the ogres coming in and out, Wu Ming couldn't help but marvel.
A group of more than two hundred ogres is already a fairly large tribe, but this one is five times bigger!
"It's really unusual!"
Wu Ming observed carefully, and became more vigilant in his heart.
This ogre camp was obviously just built, and there were still many scattered ogres coming here, and the number continued to grow. Once such a scale spread out, it would indeed be very unfavorable for him to explore the Eagle's Nest Mountain Range.
"That ogre wizard, here he comes!"
Suddenly, Mallette said in a low voice.
Wu Ming bent down, and saw another ogre tribe migrating from a distance, and the one walking in the front was an ogre wizard!
