MTL - Cthulhu Gonfalon-Chapter 15
The ash forest was very large, and Kazuo and Gerard went for a few days before they saw the edge of the forest.
It was a barren mountain named "The Deserted Mountains." It is located on the northwest side of the world's main continent, adjacent to the ash forest, and leaning against the comet desert, as if it were a very tall and thick wall separating the two sides. At the two ends of the mountain, they are connected to the Northland Snowfield and the West Sea.
The mountain range is high and the rain is scarce, so there are very few vegetation. Poor mountain water has spawned a variety of fierce World of Warcraft, people who can come and go freely here, only more fierce adventurers than Warcraft.
Perhaps because of the infinite road, there are also several gaps in this steep mountain range. Although the road is rugged and difficult, it is not completely isolated. On the west side of these mountain roads, there are several neighboring gray forests. A small town is the northwestern pole of the continental civilization.
There are a lot of rare productions here, not many, but very precious, so there are always some adventurers who think they have come here to try their luck. Most of them are no longer able to leave alive, but as long as they are able to leave alive, there will always be enviable gains, and there will be a small number of people who get rich overnight.
With the risk-taking adventurers, of course, there are businessmen who want to make their money into their pockets, and then have a variety of related industries. So don't look at these towns, but they can't be said that the sparrows are small and complete, and even a lot of extravagant things can be seen here. And because they are far away from the emperor, they are far from the reach of various countries. The rule of law here is also quite chaotic. Many people who have been guilty of sin will escape here, making it more and more chaotic, and gradually become a filth. place.
In this place, the Church of the Good God can only be reluctantly maintained. The Church of the Evil God is like a duck, and even has the resources to collect the people from all over the mainland, organize them to go to the Ash Forest to build a strong rear for their church.
For example, Baiye Village is one of the strongholds under the presiding construction of the Church of the Darkness. If this is not the case, how can farmers not believe in the goddess of the land that protects the harvest, or the goddess of life that protects the health, but who wants to believe in the dark night gods who are not in contact with agriculture?
"It turned out to be like this..." After listening to Gerrard's introduction, Yan Xiong thought thoughtfully. "So, are we going to these towns, isn't it inappropriate?"
"You can't say that. These towns are like wooden cages. They are cats and dogs. You can only be honest when you go in. You can be a dragon! You can't catch a cat cage. You are not "Take them on one foot!" Gerard said with a smile. "And, in terms of your personality and position, it is meant to be in conflict with the evil churches. In these places, you can also bring good deities. The church and even the neutral shrine church help, killing two birds!"
He said it makes sense. Yan Xiong also nodded again and again, as if the body of a hill swayed and brought a breeze.
"However, your body is too large and powerful. If you go directly into the town, it will cause some trouble. It is better to find a place to rest and let me explore the road first." As a faithful believer, Gera Dee is very active in trying to do something for the gods of his faith.
Seeing him so positive, Yan Xiong is also not good to refuse. However, he really does not trust Gerrard, always feel the bald head - oh, now it is not a bald head, hair is very dense - strength is weak, if one acts, chances are that tomorrow will inexplicably die on the side of the road. As a loyal partner to himself, and a good person, he thinks it is necessary to add a layer of insurance to Gerrard.
After careful consideration, he took out a piece of giant whale's bone piece and used a powerful magic to compress a one-foot-long and half-foot-wide piece of bone into a finger-wide width, bent into a bracelet, and engraved several times in it. The layer of magic, finally a small part of the soul power boarding in it, completed a thing that can be considered a magic item.
"Take this, as I follow you. When the situation is urgent, I will personally take it."
His Majesty, Gerald, took over the gift of Yuxiong with respect and respect. The little bone bracelet was cold and worn on the wrist. I only felt that my mind was clear and clear, and even my eyesight and hearing were sharp. I felt that I had a strong will to accompany me and make him feel more secure. .
"Your Majesty, what is the name of this treasure?" he asked.
Yuxiong thought for a moment and said, "It's called ‘empty gaze.' After all, its most fundamental use is equivalent to the expansion of my vision.”
Gerard nodded and bowed again, then sorted out the tattered homemade robes on his body, took the parcel and left for the town in the distance.
Yan Xiong sent him away, he found a fairly flat ground, waved his tentacles, and quickly dug a huge pit and lay in. When the whole body was drilled into the pit, he applied magic to reinforce the surrounding soil and transported the soil he had dug out before, turning it into a solid soil with at least two meters thick.
The body of the giant jellyfish is really not very useful on the land. Just take this time and rebuild the body.
On the other side, Gerrard wore a bone bracelet "empty gaze" and came to the town called "Gemstone."
Bypassing the business groups that had camped on the open space outside the town in order to pay less taxes, he went to the front of the busy town gate.
There are several soldiers in the leather armor at the door, who are responsible for guarding and are also responsible for collecting the door tax. They looked at Gerard, who was almost as tall as the wall, and hesitated. He eventually refused to accept the tax of the giant. He only told him not to make trouble in the town, and let him enter the door.
"This treatment is much better than when I passed by here." Gerard couldn't help but smile. "Remember that I passed by here when I fled. I was hurt and sick. I was killed for a long time. Only when I have the money, can I come in."
"Oh? Then do you want to report a hatred?" Through the bone bracelet, Xiongxiong can sense the situation around Gerrard, and can communicate with him with his thoughts. He asked with a smile.
Gerard shook his head: "In the past, I used to think that I would develop them in the future, but I don't think it is necessary. They are just a group of small people who are doing dangerous work and their income is not high. It’s not worthwhile to be angry with them.
"Your realm is high."
"I have the power that I didn't even think about in the past, even if I got the blessing of the great god, why should I care with a group of small people who are looking for life?" Gerrard scratched his head and smiled slyly.
Neither he nor Yan Xiong noticed that a middle-aged man passing by him saw his bones condensed and his pupils shrunk slightly.
He walked over with Gerard as if nothing had happened, until Gerard turned a corner, and the figure disappeared, and he hurriedly turned and hurried to the door of a small, inconspicuous yard, knocking on the door.
"Who?" A pre-digging hole on the door opened, and the janitor looked at it and hurriedly opened the door. "Vice President? Are you not going to Taojintown?"
"There are more important things." The middle-aged man said briefly, "Call the most powerful thieves in the town, and call the "Knife" brothers again - no, don't call them, just those thieves Just look for it."
The big man at the gate stunned and saw that he looked dignified and did not dare to ask, and he quickly rushed to the order.
The middle-aged man closed the door and went straight to the inner house. He turned two laps and walked into an inconspicuous small room.
The house is quite simple and looks unremarkable, but he knows that there are at least twenty dangerous institutions hidden here, even if a team of adventurers, they would like to break into.
A person who looks very ordinary, like a roadside hawker is sitting in bed reading a book, seeing him rushing in, frowning, and asking: "Gray eyes, you should go to the gold town, join the colleagues there, prepare The underground auction of the month is correct."
The tone of the old man was not heavy, but the middle-aged man was suddenly shocked and sweated on his forehead. Quickly defend: "President, I saw a baby on the road! Big sale!"
"Oh?" The old man's eyes lit up and he put down the book. He is very aware of the skill of his deputy. Although he is not good at stealing or assassination, his character is more timid and cautious. He is not fierce and decisive. He is somewhat guilty of the name of the "thieves guild", but this person's eyesight is extraordinary, identifying various treasures. Never lost. On the contrary, it is often from the ruin of the Lonely Adventurers clearance to get something good, it is worthy of being the character with the word "eyes" in the nickname.
What makes him so excited is necessarily a good thing!
"Sit down and talk slowly."
"Yes!" Gray eyes sat down and gasped, describing Gerard's appearance in detail, with particular emphasis on his bone bracelet.
"President, I take my own eyes to ensure that the bracelet is definitely not a normal baby!" His tone could not help but be excited. "At least it is a high-level magic item... I suspect that it may be a legendary treasure. !"
"The legendary treasure?!" The president of the thieves' guild couldn't calm down. He stood up and asked, "Are you sure? What type?"
"There are six or seven points to grasp, but the type is still uncertain for the time being. But I can vaguely feel that the bracelet has a strong idea, which is probably the sacred object of the giant tribe."
The president nodded again and again. The giant was originally a very powerful race. The sacred objects that carried their sacrifices and prayers for generations are probably legendary treasures.
When he thought of the word "legendary treasure", his mood suddenly became hot.
Although the world is big, legendary treasures are not common. Almost every legendary treasure has an impressive history behind it. They are mostly in the hands of big forces, such as the nobles, or the famous mages, or the leaders of the big organizations... For example, their superiors, the big man who presided over the entire Ashes Forest Thieves Guild, is said to be There is such a thing.
That treasure is the big man's life-saving card. More than once, let him turn his back into defeat, if he can get such a treasure...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
