Soon, half a month had passed since Zhang Xiaoman came to this world.
These days, he has been warmly invited by Baron Paladin and temporarily lives in his castle.
This castle was very luxuriously built, countless times more grand than he imagined. It was the first building of this style that he had ever lived in in his life.
Speaking of which, the entire Rost City is larger than expected. In terms of area, it is probably as big as Hanyue City in the Shengu Continent.
Zhang Xiaoman had originally heard that this place was close to the country's frontier and it was a place that few nobles were willing to take over, so he thought it would be a small town.
As a result, when he used dark energy shock to fly around the city, he discovered that the size here was far beyond his imagination.
In the words of the maid who served him, although Rost City has a sparse population and poor geographical environment, it is still one of the four major cities of mankind.
To mention this, we must talk about the sunset battle.
I heard that three hundred years ago, this area was not called Sunset Swamp, and half of Rost City was not in ruins and sunk in the swamp like it is now.
At that time, a war broke out on this continent between humans and gods. That war was called the "War of the Sunset."
According to legend, this entire vast and endless Sunset Swamp appeared because of the impact of that war.
At that time, Rost City was one of the four main cities of the human race and could be said to be the most prosperous city in the world. It had a very beautiful title - Holy City.
However, the outbreak of the Sunset War destroyed most of the city, and the Sunset Swamp it spawned cut off the city's future.
Although it still retains the name of the main city, people have actually forgotten it.
It is said that the ancestor of the Paladin family, the ninth-level knight lord Kerberos Paladin, unfortunately died just to protect this city.
The little maid always looks trembling when she mentions Baron Sean.
But when she talked about the former holy knight lord, the expression on her face immediately brought out a touch of reverence.
"Without the protection of Grand Duke Paladin, Rost City would have been completely submerged in the swamp..."
This was what the maid said the most, and Zhang Xiaoman could see her piety.
However, from what he has learned about Baron Sean Paladin in recent days, the people of the holy city of Rost are very afraid of him.
Because their lord is no longer like his ancestors, let alone sacrificing his life for the territory, he is simply a greedy and cruel villain.
Zhang Xiaoman's ability to judge people is also very accurate now. He can see this almost from the limited contacts with the other party.
However, he has no intention of taking care of this kind of thing. After all, according to the traditions and laws of this world, the other party has the right to exercise corresponding powers in his own territory, and he has no reason to get rid of the other party just because of his little reputation.
Sometimes the reason why the leaves rot is at the roots. In this Western-style world, some of its own systems and customs conflict with the ideas of Zhang Xiaoman, a person from Water Blue Planet.
Unless he plans to completely conquer the entire kingdom and then completely change the dynasty, this situation cannot be prevented at all.
Now, after staying here for half a month, he has a certain understanding of the world.
The continent under his feet is called the Continent of Erin, and the kingdom he is currently in is the Kingdom of Adren.
On this continent, humans are not the only intelligent race. There are also elves, dwarves, orcs and other groups who have built their own kingdoms in various regions of the continent.
In this regard, Zhang Xiaoman knew clearly that this was a Western fantasy world.
The reason why he has been living here for half a month is that in addition to temporarily needing a place to stay to get familiar with this world, he is also trying to structure the unique power system of this world, and wants to see if he can get some insights into his own cultivation. Inspiring information.
According to his understanding, the power of this world is called fighting spirit and magic power. Although the names are different and the expressions when used are different, the two are essentially the same thing.
This is like the internal force of the ancient divine continent. There are negative internal forces and masculine internal forces, but in fact they are all internal forces.
Therefore, for the convenience of naming, Zhang Xiaoman gave this power a unified name, called "Elemental Power".
Because he feels that this kind of power is more like an element floating in nature. The human body can absorb a small amount of it. When it needs to be used, it uses its own elemental power as a medium to mobilize more powerful elemental power in the environment.
This is almost the same whether it is a mage or a warrior, but the elemental power of a warrior is more of a power without attributes, unlike those of mages that have various natural attributes such as wind, fire, thunder, and lightning.
In order to understand this power, Zhang Xiaoman specially found a low-level mage and a low-level warrior from a passing caravan, and conducted research on them, which led to the above inference.
However, in addition to these elemental powers, he also saw some other clues from the geomaniac bear cub.
Zhang Xiaoman discovered that when the professionals in this world reach about the fourth level, that is, mid-level professionals, the elemental power in their bodies will gradually begin to transform towards dark spiritual power.
This is why he can sense some traces of dark spiritual power from the body of the bear and the previous Gai Lian.
If this momentum continues, it is not difficult to guess that these professionals will eventually change their profession completely and become a real dark spirit user at a certain stage.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the conditions, he could not yet estimate the extent of this stage.
As for the way of using this elemental power, Zhang Xiaoman thinks it is still a bit crude.
The warrior uses fighting spirit to strengthen his body, while the mage uses a few small fireballs, or at most throws some pyrotechnics.
The difference between high-level and low-level is mainly the difference in quantity, and there is basically no more complex skill combination and application.
He guessed that this may also be limited by the way the elemental power is used, and it cannot be as changeable as the real dark spiritual power.
Of course, in half a month, his understanding of the world was very limited, and he could not draw a conclusion on this. He still needed to continue to understand more deeply.
As for the two newly acquired rings, Zhang Xiaoman also spent some time getting to know them.
Needless to say, the dark ring does have the power to arm the human body. In Gai Lian's original words, it is the "Dark Knight Transformation".
But the bright ring seemed to have completely lost its power. Zhang Xiaoman could not feel any fluctuation of dark spiritual power from it. It seemed to be just an ordinary ring.
If it weren't for the fact that the material it was made of was very similar to the dark ring, he would have even thought that this family heirloom treasured underground by Baron Sean had been swapped.
Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out even now.
Although Zhang Xiaoman was a little disappointed in this regard, he was not so angry that he went to Baron Sean to return the goods.
Anyway, he didn't spend anything to get this ring, it was just some readily available gold.
As for Aquamarine, the fighting had already stopped on the second day. However, points for killing white-haired monsters continued to be received in the following days. It seemed that the trackers were cleaning up those who had escaped. A fish that slipped through the net to the outside world.
Zhang Xiaoman was very pleased with this.
His efforts were not in vain, and the black goat crisis in Aqua Blue Star was finally resolved.
But the trouble now is that I am trapped in a different world and cannot use the ability of space teleportation to go back.
If you want to return, you must either use the branches of the World Tree to open a new door under the tree, or return through the dimensional rift.
But now comes the problem. If you want to use the first method, you have to spend a lot of stardust and then exchange it for World Tree branches from the gang store.
But Zhang Xiaoman basically handed all the stardust to Lin Sisi before leaving. Now that he is in a different world, if he wants to get stardust, he can only get it through the system's daily lottery.
Because using points to redeem stardust requires the World Tree to bear fruit and drop it, and there is no World Tree here, so there is no way to redeem it in this way.
But if you draw them step by step through the system lottery, even if you draw Stardust every day, it will only take four hundred days.
As for the remaining way to return, Zhang Xiaoman felt that he had more hope.
He only needs to find a dimensional crack in this world, then he can return through the crack, and finally use the ability of infinite teleportation to return to the Aqua Blue Planet.
If he's lucky, he might get the news today and he can go home tomorrow.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman made a basic plan for his next action. He needed more information to find out where there were dimensional cracks in the world.
First, his target was Talata, the main human city 2,500 kilometers away in the east, and one of the last two main cities left in the world.
Compared with the dilapidated holy city of Rost, the prosperity of the royal city of Talata is simply incomparable.
There is the core of the human kingdom, the largest human city in the world.
Zhang Xiaoman came to this different world full of Western fantasy style. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to experience it.
Just now that he needed a lot of information, he felt that it was necessary for him to go there and see what the most prosperous city in the world was like.
However, due to the long distance, Zhang Xiaoman could not directly use the dark energy shock to fly there.
Compared to the Wind Control Technique, the flying ability of Dark Energy Shock is very weak.
Rather than calling it flying, it would be better to call it a faster floating spell.
Dark energy shock is okay for slowly floating and moving in short distances, but once the distance is too far, it is useless to use it.
Not to mention the huge consumption of dark energy, the flying speed is also extremely slow and the efficiency is very low.
Even if Zhang Xiaoman is running at full speed on the ground, his speed is faster than flying using dark energy shock.
So he was actually very curious. If people in this world need to reach the holy level to fly in the air, how do they travel long distances?
You must know that the area of Eileen Continent is not small, but in the human kingdom, there is a distance of more than 2,500 kilometers from Sunset Swamp to Talata King City, which is equivalent to arriving from the Chinese Kingdom of Water Blue Star to Rebirth. The island is far away.
Such a long way, with the backward transportation of humans in this world, there is no way to cross borders easily.
Therefore, since such a huge country can have this level of land area, it must also have a more efficient transportation mode.
Otherwise, it would obviously be unrealistic to just rely on horse-drawn carriages for transportation.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoman found the answer in the caravan last time.
The means of transportation they use comes from a magical beast called Feng Peng.
This is a third-level monster with a large body and gentle personality.
Although its level is not high, its size is unusually large. After an adult Feng Peng spreads its wings, it can even catch up with the size of a giant dragon.
After humans were about to domesticate it, they used it as an air vehicle for long-distance travel.
It's just that this kind of transportation is expensive, and ordinary civilians will hardly take it once in their lives. Only people like some large caravans who often need to travel between the north and the south will take it.
Unfortunately, not even a single windpeng could be found in the former holy city of Rost. If those caravan members wanted to ride the windpeng, they would first need to go to Kanter, a hundred kilometers away. Only Ercheng can do it.
Just now that he needed a lot of information, he felt that it was necessary for him to go there and see what the most prosperous city in the world was like.
However, due to the long distance, Zhang Xiaoman could not directly use the dark energy shock to fly there.
Compared to the Wind Control Technique, the flying ability of Dark Energy Shock is very weak.
Rather than calling it flying, it is better to call it a faster floating spell.
Dark energy shock is okay for slowly floating and moving in short distances, but once the distance is too far, it is useless to use it.
Not to mention the huge consumption of dark energy, the flying speed is also extremely slow and the efficiency is very low.
Even if Zhang Xiaoman is running at full speed on the ground, his speed is faster than flying using dark energy shock.
So he was actually very curious. If people in this world need to reach the holy level to fly in the air, how do they travel long distances?
