We all gathered around the small pavilion where Horason was. Under our feet was a long-range teleportation magic circle, but its shape was a little different from the five-pointed star I saw at the Mages Guild. This magic circle was in the shape of a seven-pointed star. Yes, the Horadric clan seems to prefer the number seven.
When he saw the shape of the grooves in the seven corners of the magic circle, Farah was almost scared out of his wits - these seven grooves turned out to be the shape of flawless gems, but he saw that there were already seven flawless gems on the grooves. After finding the gem, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes became lewd, as if he was digging for treasure and leaving.
No, Kane is holding his beloved crutch with both hands, following Farah suspiciously. As long as his reason is prone to being defeated by evil, Kane will definitely not mind giving him a slap on the head.
The method of running this magic circle is very simple. Even I guessed it roughly, because there is a slot in the center of the magic circle. The shape is the same size as the body of Horadric's staff. It is estimated that as long as Farah looks at the staff, A plug like that above will definitely cause some noise.
The reason why he has not taken action yet is because Akara is still sorting out the related matters after contact with the Horadric clan in his mind. To put it simply, he is thinking about how to maximize the use of the power of the Horadric clan. Farah took advantage of the opportunity to start research. The structure of the magic circle, Kane followed him closely, holding the crutch tightly to prevent him from doing anything that "damaged the reputation of the elder".
I leaned on Xiaoxue's half-crouched plush body and silently looked at the ever-changing starry sky above my head. Xiaoxue and I took a nap together and spent the rare leisure time these days.
"Okay, let's go."
Half asleep and half awake, Akara shouted an order, waking everyone up. I called Xiaoxue back and watched Farah take out the Horadric staff and walk solemnly toward the center of the magic circle step by step. He raised the golden Horadric staff high, took a deep breath, and inserted it slowly and forcefully into the groove.
"Click----"
The stick foot was inserted into the slot without any gap. After it was about a foot long, it made a clear mechanical sound, then stopped, and released the hand. Farah stepped back. Leave the range of the magic circle.
The moment the staff was inserted into the hole, the whole world seemed to quiet down. Everyone focused their attention on the staff standing high in the center. The staff had not moved since it was inserted, but the more this happened, the more frustrated it became. We took a gulp of water, and this was probably the feeling of tranquility before the explosion.
next moment. The golden staff emits a boundless light. Guiding seven lightning bolts to connect to seven flawless gems on the magic circle. The flashing light of mines shot straight into the sky. The entire dark starry sky seemed to begin to surge.
"Ding----"
The first gem suddenly lit up. It emits far more brilliance than it can emit. About a minute or so. The second gem also lit up. Then came the third one. The fourth one. They are lit one by one in a counterclockwise direction.
When the last gem is lit. Lightning came from the staff. With seven ---- that is, the seven corners of the seven-pointed star as the end points. Flow along every notch on the magic circle. Finally gathered in the center. It flowed into Horadric's staff again. This cycle continues. Until every tiny mark in the entire magic formation was completely lit up.
Last minute. It was as if all the energy contained in the magic array was transformed into light. Terrifying white light emitted from the center of the magic circle. I guarantee it. Even career changers. If you don't even close your eyes. They will also be blinded by these white rays. Your eyes should be on strike for at least a month.
After the light dissipates. The three of us (Akara himself is blind) slowly opened our eyes. Found that everything had calmed down. The only difference is the magic mark of the teleportation magic circle that originally had no brilliance. Now there is a layer of firefly color flowing through it. It is slightly emitting seven colors of light. It makes the entire magic circle look more beautiful with dreamy ripples.
I rubbed my eyes desperately. Even if I closed my eyes just now, the strong light still passed through my arms and then through my eyelids, piercing my eyeballs all white. Farah and Kane were not cured either. How many.
There was a white light. When I opened my eyes again, a hot wind and sand blew over, and I was blinded again. Damn, I have been really unlucky recently.
However, judging from the sandstorm and the current temperature, we should be in a desert now.
After I got used to it, I looked around the surroundings and found that we seemed to be on a high platform made of yellow stone. Under the high platform, dozens of people in simple clothes, including men, women, old and young, were surrounding us. He looked at the four of us with his eyes, and people kept coming from a distance.
Everyone stared at me and I stared at you for a long time. More and more people gathered around the stage, as if they had made an appointment. They suddenly started to have sex, and hot tears flowed from everyone's face, supporting each other. , hugging, jumping, and many old people even knelt on the ground in excitement, murmuring and crying bitterly.
“It’s so free!!”
I lay on the roof and squinted my eyes to bask in the sun. Oh, sorry, I made up the wrong word. I should have been basking in the sun for three hours. As for why I still basked in the sun in the desert, it was because... …
"It's so free..."
I turned over, stretched out on my side, and looked at the street not far away. To put it simply, the Horadric tribe’s planning was a bit like Lu Gaoyin’s slums, and most of them were painted in yellow. It is made of clay. If there is any difference, it is probably because a few Horadric people who know how to live have created a few small magics and rebuilt the simple loess house. It looks much more beautiful. It's not as pitted and rough as those in the slums, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind.
In the entire tribe, only the mage tower in the center is the most spectacular, with its marble walls. It is dotted with many green plants, and the towering fiery red spire is hundreds of meters tall. It looks like a corrupt official's mansion built in a barren place. Of course, it just looks like that. What is placed inside is the precious information passed down from generation to generation of the Horadric clan, and it is the spiritual flag of the entire clan.
Farah and Kane may still be struggling inside. Poor Horadrics, you have received more than just a savior. Moreover, there are two major research madmen who have been eyeing your precious information for a long time, and there is also a black-hearted elder. I am the only one who came here with the purest purpose.
Finally, I focused on the Horadric people coming and going below. How should I put it, their clothes looked like they came from a slum, and most of the clothes were made of animal skins. There was nothing I could do about it. The Horadrics were not good at crafts. Apart from their magical talent, they have no special skills in other fields. The most important thing is that this isolated ghost place cannot grow cotton and linen at all.
However, if you look down on them because of their clothes, you are totally wrong. They just have poor living conditions and nothing else. This is proved by a long list of facts - there is not a single illiterate in the entire Horadric tribe. This is true in knowledge. The barren Dark Continent is a horrifying place, and I can guarantee that. Just pick up a kid of about ten years old on the street, and his magic knowledge in his mind may be much better than mine.
Of course, I know that comparing myself to a magical idiot is nothing to be proud of, but it is enough to show that the Horadric people here have not given up the glory of their race. When the time is right, they will be committed to recreating the glory of their people thousands of years ago. brilliant.
The entire Horadik tribe now has a population of nearly 50,000. Thanks to the wisdom of their ancestors, when the ban was imposed, they left an area that could provide a living for hundreds of thousands of people, including dozens of fertile lands. An oasis with plenty of water. But even so, the resources of the Horadric people are still relatively poor. Most of the meat is sandworms and scorpions, and crops and fruits are even rarer. Although there are so many oases, the desert is not suitable for growing these things after all, and it has to be provided for 50,000 people, so the amount divided is very tight and pitiful. .
But now, all this will change with our arrival. The closed teleportation array has been opened. The Horadric people, who have been waiting for thousands of years, can finally escape from this cage and go out to breathe a different kind of air. The lack of supplies is even more It can be transported here in a steady stream. No wonder they cried so hard when we first arrived. It has been thousands of years.
Oh, the girl opposite seems pretty good. She looks about ten years old, has delicate facial features and is very cute, has a sweet smile, and has a great figure, but her skin is not white enough (no doubt, a girl over 80 will Li Kong likes milky white skin), it’s no wonder, after all, it is a desert environment, if she is brought to the camp to raise her for a few years, she will not become a great beauty? After a while, my gaze became more serious. Speaking of which, in addition to having magical talents, the Horadric people seemed to have many beauties.
I was fascinated by watching the girls coming and going, when suddenly I heard a call from behind. When I looked back, I saw that it was Akara who was smiling and waving to me.
"Is there a problem?"
I jumped off the roof and followed Akara into the residence specially prepared for us. My vision suddenly darkened, huh? Farah and Kane are here too, and I thought they would be so obsessed with eating, drinking, and eating in the mage tower.
After sitting down, I realized that it was the Rat Club again... Well, no, it should be the time for the elders' meeting. Ever since Akara appeared in my eyes, the smile on his face has not diminished by half. He must have encountered something. When things are going well, or they might get another fortune from the Horadrics, well, there is no doubt about it.
"Everyone, I have some good news for you."
Having said this, Akara looked around us, and the smile on his face became even bigger. What kind of good news could make Akara, who is usually quiet, so happy?
"You may already know that the entire Horadric tribe now has more than 50,000 people, but..." She gave up, and her mouth cracked a little more.
"Do you know how much combat power there is here? For example, job transferees, Wu, guess what." Akara suddenly looked at me.
No wonder she was so happy. It turned out that the Adventurers Alliance would have a large number of thugs in the future, and judging from her happy look, the number was absolutely astonishing.
"About a hundred?"
I scratched my head and made a bold guess. Don't underestimate this number. There are only one or two thousand novice job changers in Rogge camp. The total number of job changers in the entire first world is only about 10,000. However, the known population of the first world already has hundreds of millions. In other words, the ratio of job changers is at least 10,000:1. The total number of Horadric people here is only 50,000, and a hundred people is a ratio of 500:1. This is already a very bold figure.
Got my answer. The wrinkles on Akara's face increased again, but of course, she smiled. She shook her head, did not speak, but stretched out her five fingers towards me.
"You mean..." I opened my mouth wide, but my throat felt dry.
"That's right, five hundred people." Akara said firmly. Then he laughed. Laughing so freely.
Oh my god, the ratio is 100:1, this world is going crazy, not just me, but Farah, and even Kane, who is a Horadric, was also in a state of confusion for a while.
"Not only that, according to statistics by Thakron (currently the Great Elder of the Horadric Tribe) and I, there will be hundreds of good prospects who will be able to successfully transfer jobs in the past year or two."
The three of us started to falter.
"In addition, there are a total of 2,158 mercenary-level mages." Akara added another blow.
The three of us swayed and fell directly to the ground.
"In addition, there are 8,832 soldier-level mages." Akara's last move.
The three of us were frothing at the mouth and unconscious.
Oh my god, all the Horadrics over 20 have combat effectiveness above the soldier level. What is this if not all people are soldiers?
After finally waiting for us to accept the fact, we got up from the ground and took a sip of who, look at me. Let me look at you. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot with excitement - this was immeasurable fighting power, with the powerful Horadric clan joining them. The power of the entire Dark Continent is bound to increase to a higher level.
"The bloodline of the Horadric tribe is only excellent, and it is really beyond my budget." Akara said excitedly, tapping his crutches, and then murmured something in his mouth. After listening carefully, I couldn't help but sweat.
"If the Horadric clan is allowed to intermarry with other people, how many outstanding offspring will be produced? Although the thin bloodline may affect talent in the future, as long as the number is large enough, it can still make up for this shortcoming. Of course, purebred bloodline It must also be preserved (thinking about it)..."
I said Akara, are you planning to imprison the Horadric clan?
Then, we began to discuss the second urgent issue, regarding the connection of the teleportation array. Although the teleportation array of the Horadric clan has been opened, it can only lead to the shelter. There is Horason who is not inferior to Demon king-level masters are wandering around. In addition, the large number of monsters and maze terrain in the refuge will cause inconvenience to the Horadric people.
Therefore, we decided to connect the teleportation array here with the long-distance teleportation array at Rogge Camp. However, there are some differences between the teleportation arrays. There are also many technical problems designed in this, which cannot be solved in a day and a half. Of course, , with magic madmen like Farah and Elder Horadric around, it’s not a big problem.
When I asked why not connect Lu Gaoyin's teleportation array to here first, so that the distance is shorter, wouldn't it be easier? The other three laughed mysteriously.
"So you kid, are you still young?" Farah looked at me with undisguised pride.
Kane whispered something in my ear, and I suddenly understood.
The Horadric tribe is now poor in resources and lacks everything. It is a good time to sell favors. If the teleportation array is connected to Lu Gaoyin, wouldn't this be a good favor to the Fat King? What's more important is that the young people here can't wait to go out. According to psychological analysis, these people who are almost driven crazy will find the first place they see after going out to be unforgettable. , which is also a disguised form of letting them recognize the status of Rogge Camp and the Adventurer Alliance.
As expected of a person who plays politics, an elder like me should just keep fighting and level up with the goal of saving the Dark Continent. I huddled in the corner and drew a circle. After learning the information about the Horadric tribe here, Akara must be more enthusiastic about saving the Horadric tribe in the second world. The memories continued for a while. I didn't care about my own business, so I took a break to talk to Akara, and ran out to get some fresh air.
"Elders, please stay."
He didn't go far when he was stopped again. Who would know him here? Looking back, I saw that it was Thakron, the great elder of the Horadric tribe. No wonder he could call me by my name.
"Where are you going, Elder Fan? If you want to get familiar with the tribe, I can show you the way." The thin and dark old man smiled slightly and tugged at his white mage robe and said.
"I don't dare to disturb His Excellency the Great Elder's time. I'm just a little bored and want to take a walk around the area." I responded politely.
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm just idle. This place is so dilapidated that it makes Elder Fan bored. It's our fault."
"Where." I shook my head quickly. Sweat, why does this little old man have a conspiratorial atmosphere inside.
"However, if the elder is idle, I have something to ask for. I wonder if I can do us a favor." Sure enough, Sakron changed the topic and showed the unique smile of the NPC village leader of the novice village when he releases tasks.
"You're welcome, Great Elder. The difficulties of the Horadric clan are the difficulties of our Adventurer Alliance. Just say it and we will do our best." I agreed generously. It would be boring to be idle anyway, so just take a look. What kind of request will Zakron make?
"That's it..." Sakron crackled for a while and explained the whole story to me.
It turns out that there are many ancient tombs around the Horadric clan's restriction, but now these ancient tombs have become monster paradises, of course. Relatively speaking, the Horadrics can also use these monsters to level up. It can be considered that everyone gets what he needs.
But I don’t know when, in one of the seven largest ancient tombs. A huge dark force suddenly appeared inside. According to expert detection, the deepest level of the tomb is most likely occupied by Duriel, one of the four demon kings of hell. This possibility makes the entire Horadric clan panic. He was afraid that Duriel would one day come out and attack the tribesmen, so Thakron wanted me to find out whether this was true.
Some people may ask, with so many warriors from the Horadric clan, are they still afraid of a mere Duriel? That's true, but you also have to think about it. This is the desert of the Western Kingdom. The monsters there are generally only at level 20 at most. Therefore, no matter how hard the Horadrics train, their level can only stay at level 30. So although there are many warriors here, they can only be regarded as fresh troops at best, and none of them can fight.
Of course, if Du Ruier were to fight out in an upright manner, facing so many warriors, the result would be that no one would be left alive. Even if it was a sneak attack, it would be impractical to go inside and deal with it. Because the terrain of the ancient tomb is small and the mage's life is so weak, people who have played the game may understand this feeling - the depression of a mage less than level 18 dealing with Duriel.
This is exactly what Sakron is worried about, so his request is very simple. It is rare for the clan to have a human shield profession. Please help us go inside and check it out to see if it is Duriel. Of course, if It would be even better if the unknown enemy could be killed.
It turned out that I wanted to be a thug. I wiped my sweat, agreed, and then walked back the same way - nonsense, of course I wanted to find Farah for help.
But when I returned to my residence, I found that none of the three people who thought they were still in the meeting were gone. Although I knew that Farah might have gone to the Mage Tower to research information again, I guess even if I find him, given his personality He may not be willing to move even half a minute.
How to do it? I have already agreed, but there are no more helpers. It seems that I can only go alone. According to Isaac's clone and the inference in the game, I am sure that it must be Duriel. With it I still don't pay attention to the strength of a mere demon king's projection.
However, the biggest problem is---I don't know the way.
When I ran to find Sakron with a face on his face, he smiled slightly: "So that's it, no problem, I'll find a guide for the elder."
As he spoke, he shouted several times toward the back of the room. "Tia, Tia, you girl are so crazy." Such a strong way of calling people. I didn't expect Elder Sakron to have such a straightforward side.
"Grandpa, it's coming. It's annoying. Even the neighbors heard it."
With a delicate sound that seemed to come from the nose, a girl ran in from the back of the yard.
After seeing the appearance of Sakron's granddaughter, I almost staggered - isn't this the beautiful Horadric girl with a good figure that I have been staring at on the roof?
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Elder Wu Fan from the Adventurer Alliance. You must have heard about it in the past few days. He is a great benefactor of our Horadric people. Now Elder Fan wants to go to the ancient tomb to investigate. Come on, help us eliminate another hidden danger. I know you often venture to that ancient tomb, so this time please lead the way for Elder Fan."
Sakron coughed and his face softened.
The girl ignored her grandpa's pretentiousness, but looked at me. The desert girl's unique, simple and hot eyes, without any impurity, lingered on me for a while, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became even sweeter.
"I know you were lying on the roof just now and peeking at people, right?"
The girl, who was wearing a thin leather jacket with a beautiful figure, put her hands behind her back and leaned her head over. Her delicate breasts became taller and taller due to this action, and her big, flawless and transparent eyes could clearly reflect my appearance. After looking at it with interest for a while, she suddenly said with a sweet smile.
At this moment, my life became as gloomy as when I was a naughty loli and my parents came in with a bunch of police and reporters to catch me.
