The Amber Sword

Chapter 103: 'nest'

Views:

As we all know, the formation of Vaughan originated from the contract between the Cruz god Eshiru, or the Eluin’s mother Masha and the four elf kings to bind the chaos (also known as the sea of chaos outside the world). It forms a boundary on the basis of the six elements.

Within this boundary, the outer layer is the elemental territory, and the inner layer is the infinite land.

The power of the gods that guide the rules of the world is reflected on the sky above the earth, forming the sun, moon, and stars. Therefore, life is born from water, multiplies on the earth, blessed by the wind, and endowed with wisdom by the flame, the mortal world becomes.

However, in addition to the 130 million laws laid down by the god A’thro-the A'thro (element rule), the sea of chaos does not surrender. It is also mapped on the sky and is called by the cultists. This is the third month, the holy month among the Mushu population, or the magical month described in the ancient books of the Silver Snake and All Things Back to One Society.

According to legend, the month of invisible and invisible magic. Every ten years, the month of Xia Cang, the month of scrolls, and the month of recovery are looking at the earth from the western half of the sky-so these months are also the most magical for wizards and witches. The period is also the most declining period of the elemental power-the magical tide caused by the moon of magic power at this moment makes waves on the sea of chaos, which causes the monsters affected by these magical powers to be bred in the darkness.

That is to say, the monsters in people’s mouth—the tide of magic power drives them to attack civilized areas, causing the area of Eshiru to collapse inward—the territory of civilization also shrinks accordingly. In the early days of the Chaos Era—the tide of magic power was required by almost every civilization. Facing a deadly enemy, and this is why the pioneer knight exists.

Even in modern times, the war potential a country reserves must be prepared to cope with the decline of civilization.

However, the magic wave comes once every ten years, and the last visit is only two years ago, and the once-in-a-hundred-year wave is still too early, so people in this era are not too worried.

It's just that after the wave of magic power recedes, the lair where the monsters spawned will not disappear. They will also produce monsters made of magical powers or formed by mutant beasts over the years. Therefore, there will be occasional messages from the surrounding areas of big cities that roads are cut by monsters.

In Eruin, cleaning up these monsters and lairs is the job of the guard team and the Temple of Flame.

However, not all nests will be destroyed. In the long-term battle with'Chaos', people are like how their ancestors discovered the method of domesticating wild beasts. They learned how to domesticate the'laod' so that the products in it can be used for their own use.

Even after long-term research, races such as humans, elves, and even dwarves have found ways to create similar "nests".

For example, Buga's gargoyle lair is a typical example.

(Note: A typical gargoyle nest, the annual output is two gargoyles; but the construction of this nest and the maintenance of the magical power of the nest require a lot of resources, so even a country that relies on the'nest' as a war reserve, it The war potential is not endless—)

The domesticated lair is similar to the mount of the Eluin Dragon Knight and the Griffon of the Cruz people. And the earth travel dragon, war snake lizard or black wolf that people often see.

But there is still another kind of lair, the Guardian Lair, which was born under the influence of the forces of the law of order set by Martha (Eshiru), or the forces of light, darkness, fire, wind, water, or rocks. product.

For example, the Abyss of Wind in St. Osor, the Gate of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Church Knights, and the Shadow Canyon of Madara.

Of course, these nests are also divided into three, six or nine levels—

For example, most of the hunting hound dens in the Silver Winged Cavalry Regiment and Guard Corps barracks, although the annual output of this thing is as high as sixteen, it is a pity that the combat effectiveness is only beyond the average hunting dog line.

Moreover, the lifespan of monsters gradually declines with the magic power that constitutes their bodies, and is often short-lived. Even a long-lived dragon family will disappear after a hundred years-compared with the real dragon family.

The stone lair mentioned by Brando here is a kind of artificial lair. It is a product of alchemy. The monsters produced are stone puppets, and the fighting power is about seven or eight adults. This kind of nest is a rather low-level nest, but it wins in popularity. There are such things in many noble territories. Although stone puppets have low intelligence, they can still be used as soldiers.

Therefore, when Antitina saw the Rock Legion necklace, this was the first thing she thought of. If Brando deliberately built some stone lairs, how much money could this necklace save them

But Bartom took into account the increased output in disguise.

Therefore, the three of them at the same time made up their minds to'grab' this necklace in their hands—

The reserve price soon came out. Of course, the Rock Legion Necklace was not as precious as the Scroll of Elemental Enlightenment, so its price tag was only 2,000 Torr, with an increase of 100 per time.

Because he wanted to take it, Brando didn't rush to make a move this time. He waited to see other people's moves, so as not to expose his thoughts prematurely.

The first bidder was born in the crowd, and the one holding the sign was also a young knight. Antitina and Bartom both glanced over there, but they didn't make a difference.

The price reached 3000 after several competitions, and the number of bidders began to decrease. Brando understands that most of the people who participated in the bidding had a participatory mentality. In fact, most of them were not really interested in this necklace.

But from this moment on, the competition began to become calm on the surface, but fierce inside.

The right to bid was quickly taken over by the little nobles in the third-story box, and the cripple told them about a few of these people. Most of them are nobles outside Braggs and have their own territories.

The price has risen to four thousand Thors, which is not too low for this necklace, and the real hunters began to join the competition at this moment.

Starting from four thousand four hundred, the third box on the right gave a price of five thousand.

For a while, the audience was almost silent.

Many people are thinking, is it possible that those nobles are crazy? And more people couldn't help but get ready to move. This sudden offer made some speculators realize that this necklace might bring them more benefits.

There was another ripple in the crowd, which made Brando feel a little bit bad. He knew that the facts had to be used to dispel these opportunists, so he let the cripple take action.

Six thousand Thor.

Quiet again.

Those eager to try immediately smelled the breath of the beginning of the war, and all of them carefully withdrew their hands.

Seven thousand.

This time the bid was for a certain squadron leader of the Whitemane Legion, and he was picked up by a nobleman in the city at a price of seven thousand five hundred.

Brando did not hesitate to raise the price to eight thousand.

Bartom swallowed.

Eight thousand and one hundred, the offer for the third box on the right.

Brando asked the cripple to raise the bid to eight thousand five hundred. He looked at the direction of the table and didn't mean to give up in the slightest. Antitina couldn't help but grasped the handle of the chair behind him, her finger knuckles faintly whitening.

The dimly-lit auction room was silent, and even the nobles were silent. No one here is a fool, for a rock legion necklace, they will also consider whether it is worth it.

But Brando’s consideration is different. His needs for the army and territory are more urgent than anyone else. Antitina’s funds exist for the territory. This is also the case before him, Bartom and the nobleman. The opinions reached by the daughters unanimously.

The auctioneer hammered the hammer once.

The squadron captain of the Whitemane Legion seemed eager to try and was about to struggle again, but he hesitated a bit, and finally did not make a move.

After three hammers, Brando got the necklace as he wished. The cripple had already settled the bill with his money, and then delivered the things.

Brando glanced around, noticing that he hadn't paid attention to his direction, and then carefully put the necklace away. After all, this thing can only be used in the Lair of Stone, and now it can only be used as an exhibit temporarily.

After the Rock Legion Necklace, the auction gradually heated up. First, a few pieces of art were added to cause a scramble between the nobles, and then two sets of bronze first-class magic armors. These two armors almost ignited adventurers and mercenaries. With the enthusiasm of those traveling knights, the scene was hot for a while, and the two pieces of armor were finally sold at a price of more than 40,000 Torr.

Then came a series of tantalizing products, Brando once again got a set of playing cards that claimed to have magical powers. But he didn't want this set of cards, but just got the destiny card mixed in this set of playing cards in a concealed manner.

In fact, as soon as the auctioneer took the set of cards on the platform, he immediately reacted to the cards in his backpack. He and Shire looked at each other and bought the cards promptly.

This time he didn't have any strong opponents, only a few nobles who liked strange gadgets competed with him, and finally asked him to successfully buy the card at a price of 2,500 Torr.

When Brando drew the destiny card from the stack of playing cards, he found that it was a cyan card. On the front of the card, a group of small cyan spiders born from the whirlwind were drawn. The serial number of the card is III. Pay The cost is the corresponding wind element—

Wind Spirit Spider Swarm

(Isiah’s Prophecy III)

Wind 1/X

【Biology—Elements/Insects, Level 5 Creatures】

Pay X to put X cyan tokens (Wind Spirit Spider, Level 5) into the battlefield.

The Wind Spirit Spider Swarm dies, designating a target to burn its X points of mana.

'Generated from the whirlpool, returning to the mana whirlpool—'

Brando couldn't help being taken aback when he scanned the description of this card. First, summoning the card of a level 5 creature made him feel at a loss, and the cost indication and description made him even more puzzled. He thought for a while and couldn't help turning his head to ask Charles in a low voice, "What does this mean?"

Charles on one side glanced at the card and smiled slightly.
