Although Becky told a lot about the marshal's deeds along the way, in fact, Hao Ren didn't have much interest in it: in his opinion, it had nothing to do with his mission, and he didn't think he would follow What does a different world heroine have to do with each other.
But regardless of whether he is interested or not, anyway, he knows a lot of information about the legendary female general Ophra.
Speaking of the female general, it is necessary to first mention the so-called "ancient species". This is a new term that Hao Ren only heard tonight. Becky's description to roughly infer the situation of this race. The ancient species seem to be a special race that is almost the same as humans, and they also lived with humans most of the time. They are rare in number, distributed all over the world, and have no cultural system of their own. It can be said that they are a race that has completely assimilated and coexisted with humans. The biggest difference between ancient species and ordinary humans is that they have a long lifespan and excellent combat effectiveness. Their qualities far exceed ordinary people, from body to spirit. There are many ancient species who have become heroes remembered by history. Ophra is just one of them, and she is the most famous one in the last few hundred years. Marshal Ophra is the most active descendant of the ancient species in the past few hundred years. She was first active hundreds of years ago, when the Holleta monarch was the famous "Iron-Fisted King" Geddon III. When Geddon III was crowned king, the Kingdom of Holleta was undergoing a crisis-ridden transformation and turmoil. The oldest kingdom on the entire continent ushered in the impact of modern alchemy and new academic trends. The new research and development and production models of folk alchemy workshops challenged the old royal magic research institute, and more and more advanced technologies began to be created by folks. Rather than being controlled by the royal team of magicians, this led to the confrontation between the nobles of the time and the new bourgeoisie. At the same time, the confrontation between the new aristocracy and the conservative aristocracy has arisen among the aristocracy-this situation will inevitably occur in the face of large-scale social progress in an overly old and huge feudal dynasty. At the same time, the new small countries around the Holleta Kingdom accepted various new technologies and social forms at an extremely fast speed, and they left this ancient and bloated old kingdom behind in a very short period of time — at least leave it behind from the tech tree. Ophra appeared at that time.
There are many versions of legends in later generations. The process of how a new king and an ancient commoner met and became a firm comrade-in-arms is always a topic that historians and playwrights talk about. Becky, as a fan of Marshal Ophra and a standard gossip girl, recommends the play What the writers say: In his prime, Geddon III was touring his kingdom, looking for a solution to the domestic turmoil. He traveled to the east of the kingdom and was assassinated by hostile forces for a long time.
Marshal Ophra, who was an ordinary adventurer at the time, stood up at a critical moment and fought side by side with Geddon III, saving the fate of the entire kingdom.
The young king with great ambitions and the knight girl who is waiting for the appreciation of Ming Jun had a fateful encounter and walked side by side ever since. In the turbulent and chaotic times of the kingdom, Geddon III resisted all opinions and canonized a girl knight without noble blood as a new nobleman against the pressure of the old nobles, and handed over his kingdom blade to this confidante. They are a great talent. A skilled soldier and horse has quelled all the crises in the kingdom and resolved the domestic confrontation. A new ruling order was established in the process of groping, and all hostile forces in the surrounding area were suppressed.
since that day. The famous Iron General of Holleta Kingdom has been guarding this land for four hundred and thirty-five years.
And any decent playwright knows that something else should be happening: Geddon III and Ophra have been dating since the first episode. I haven't reached the 40th level yet. The finale of the story is that Geddon III is very old, lying on the sickbed and holding Ophra's hand: "My rule should come to an end in these two days, you Gotta watch my son crowned king…”
Since this story was told by Becky with a blind eye, Hao Ren felt that the last paragraph was most likely written by someone who did not think it was a big deal, and it might be widely circulated among women who could not marry In the mercenary circle, but if you dare to talk about this crime in the court, it is at least a crime that must be broken first and asked later.
In short, Hao Ren knew the glorious deeds of Marshal Ofrah, and knew that she was the most legendary heroine in this country. As a descendant of the ancient species, Ofra has served as the marshal of the kingdom for more than four hundred years. She has gone through several ups and downs and more than a dozen king successions. She is still the first military officer of Holletta and the martial arts teacher of every prince—this is in the It seemed incredible to Hao Ren. It was hard for him to imagine why such a fierce man could serve a dynasty for four hundred years without moving. maintain absolute trust in Ophra. Probably this heroine did have something to do with that talented and strong-armed king back then.
Everyone witnessed the dispute between the marshal and the rector today. They seemed to have disagreements about the orb of the temple and some incidents involving religious interpretation. It's a pity that Hao Ren didn't know where to investigate for a while. The reason.
Everyone rested for one night in Layton Town, and set foot on the road to Beinz Blood Lake early the next morning.
The martial law in the town is still going on, and the energy stored in the church's underground facilities, together with the church mage stationed here, is enough to ensure that the protective shield above the town can last for a long time. I don't know how long this martial law situation will last. Hao Ren is very concerned about those difficult rock giants. He doesn't know if the strength of the local knights can solve this kind of incident, but the rector seems to be quite confident. It is enough, and he has probably notified the abnormal events in the higher-level diocese through the church channel, and soon the huge state machinery and religious power will be in operation, so let's believe in the ability of those big men to deal with the crisis.
Ordinary horses are susceptible to the influence of magic around the Blood Lake in Beinz and become easily frightened and irritable. Therefore, Hao Ren and the others left the rented horses in the town, and there is also a cavalry handover point for mercenaries in the town. , so those animals don't have to worry about it anymore. Everyone set foot on the avenue from the exit on the west side of the town, and they could only walk forward for a long distance. Fortunately, it is quite close to the destination here, and it will not be very far to walk.
"The Twisted Woodland is ahead," Betsy was still walking at the front of the team, she pointed to the purple color in the distance and reminded loudly, "Be careful, try not to use magic after entering, and if you encounter a monster, solve it as soon as possible." Fighting, most of the monsters there are very sensitive to magic, and it is easy to gather a large group.”…
"Understood." Hao Ren agreed. Lily and Vivienne beside him had been in a state of transformation since they left the town, and further ahead was a dangerous area infested by monsters. It was necessary to stay vigilant. Vivienne's bat circled the supervisor's path more than a hundred meters above the team, while Lily sniffed her nose as she walked to check for any suspicious smells nearby. Nangong Wuyue looked at Becky who was leading the way at the front, and remembered the scene when he left the town in the morning and saw two teams of wounded mercenaries retreating from the woodland: "By the way, you don't have to follow us, take us to Layton Even if the town has completed the commission."
"You want to say the danger ahead, right? A lot of words." Of course, Becky knew what Nangong Wuyue meant, because she also saw those colleagues who had just withdrawn from the surrounding areas of Beinz, "I asked, and they just met ordinary people. Warcraft just suffered a little by accident. The situation around the Blood Lake is not as bad as the rector said. And I have always kept my word. Let's see if we can find the treasure by the way."
Hao Ren smiled, and decided to bring this honest girl a tablet next time he came - anyway, Raven 12345 will reimburse her.
After entering the Twisted Grove, Hao Ren immediately felt that the atmosphere around him was different from the outside.
