The white ring looks very old, and its appearance is dull. It can be seen that it has experienced a long time.
However, compared to how it looked when I first bought it, the ring now has some changes, at least it is not as broken as it was at the beginning.
This is not because Zhang Xiaoman repaired him, but because of the stone sent by Fox.
In the villa provided by the mercenary union, when Fox came to visit Zhang Xiaoman for the first time, he brought a Holy Demon Stone as a gift.
This is a very precious ore, and even a few pieces cannot be found on the entire continent.
According to legend, this kind of stone can be used to forge artifacts, just like the two storm axes used by the dwarf king Johad, which are weapons that people in this world call artifacts.
It's just a pity that the strength of the Holy Demon Stone is too high, and the method of smelting it has long disappeared in the long river of history, so now even with such a top-notch casting material, it cannot be truly smelted. Take advantage of it.
To put it bluntly, the Holy Demon Stone is a material that although very valuable, has no practical use. It can only be seen but not used.
Of course, this is not absolute, because with its history, its hardness, and even its gorgeous appearance, the value of this stone has been sold by the auction house at a very high price.
However, Zhang Xiaoman felt a trace of power similar to the two rings from it, and what did not disappoint him was that the white ring actually absorbed the power in the Holy Demon Stone, thereby restoring Some.
I originally thought that none of these people had seen the ring, but to my surprise, McCarvey suddenly opened his eyes wide, pointed at the ring and said:
"This, this is... the ring of the great knight Lord Duke Paladin!?"
Now everyone turned their attention to the Holy Magister, and they were also surprised that he could tell the origin of the ring.
"The Ring of Light! This is the ring that Duke Paladin once wore! I heard that it was lost after his death, but I didn't expect to see it here!"
McAvey said slightly excited.
"I saw this ring when I was a child, and it was the only time I saw it when I had close contact with Duke Paladin..."
After everyone heard what he said, they remembered that this Holy Magister was a long-lived man who lived for more than 300 years, and he was also born in the Holy City of Rost. It was nothing to see the great knight lord with his own eyes. Unbelievable thing.
However, compared to the other people's arrogance about the ring itself, what Zhang Xiaoman wanted to know more was why McAlevey was able to live to more than 300 years old even though he was also a human being.
There are not a few longevity races in this world, but they are basically determined by their own genes.
The lifespan of the human race is similar to that of humans on Aquamarine, or even a little shorter.
But among them is an alien like McAvey. If he didn't have the blood of an elf or another race, the secrets contained in it would be really exciting.
Although Zhang Xiaoman has mastered many methods of cultivating immortals now, in order to pursue the speed of cultivation, he did not cultivate the immortals step by step. Instead, he worked with Mr. Ye Cang to develop a new method of cultivating immortals.
Although the progress of cultivation is very fast, the foundation is insufficient, and there seems to be no way to prolong life.
If Zhang Xiaoman could obtain the secret of longevity from McAvey, then he felt that his trip here would be worthwhile.
At this time, everyone in the temple was thinking about the secret of the ring, but in the end there were no effective clues. They only knew that it should be an artifact passed down from ancient times.
The reason why the Orcs have such powerful power is because they wear rings. To put it bluntly, they rely on external forces.
"In my opinion, Urbis should have discovered a certain number of rings, which made him determined to attack us directly."
McCarvey said solemnly.
At least judging from the current strength displayed by the hands and feet, the number of that ring was definitely more than one. He felt that the legendary shaman who came to save people at the back should have used the ring's amplification to reach the ninth level.
"Hey, why does he care so much! Now we also have a ring here. He can make an eighth-level man increase his strength by leaps and bounds by wearing the ring. Then if we wear the ring too, wouldn't we be able to easily destroy Urbi? That boy!"
Dwarf King Yohad slapped the table and said.
"Ji Xing, the ring belongs to you. When the time comes, I will cooperate with you and kill Urbis together! Let's see if those orc cubs dare to continue to be arrogant!"
The dwarf showed off his usual fiery style.
"Tch, I don't know who was beaten half to death by one of his men just now..."
Arcatus mocked softly and immediately lit the explosive barrel.
"Cowardly shapeshifter! What are you talking about! If he hadn't been equipped with that ring, I could have crushed him to death with one hand, believe it or not!"
"hehe……"
"Ah! I'm so angry! Transformer! If you have the guts, come out to me! I want to challenge you! Let you see what the power of a dwarf is!"
"hehe……"
"..."
The meeting had just started for a while when Yohad and Akatus, the two unruly ones, began to argue. The temple was filled with the dwarf king's loud shouts.
"enough!"
McAlevey slapped the table.
"What time is it now! Are you still quarreling here! Akatus, you can't provoke him! Yohad, you too, please stop saying a few words and let that guy from Urbis know that we are quarreling here. That’s not a joke!”
The words of the Holy Magister were still very weighty. Although Johad and Akatus were dissatisfied with each other, they finally stopped after arguing for a few times.
"Our current situation is not good. A new ninth level has appeared on the orc side, and the number is still unknown. This will be a very big trouble for us."
After seeing the scene become silent, McCarvey spoke:
"And what everyone needs to know is that our real threat has never been Urbis, but those guys from the sky. If we can't deal with even one orc, then how will we resist the coming of the true god?" ?”
"Everyone must have seen the situation of yesterday's battle. Now that the Orcs have joined the Rock Demon Clan, they will gain a huge advantage in the next siege battle."
"Everyone should understand what the group of monsters from the Rock Demon Clan are like. If we continue to guard in front of the city gate, the final battle will be a huge blow to us, regardless of whether we win or lose."
"So, I decided to compress the battlefield forward and place the decisive battle location on the Beifeng Grassland. I will try my best to avoid the damage caused to us by the sneak attack of the Rock Demon Tribe."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
"That's right, although those people from the Rock Demon Clan have no brains, they are really good at burrowing into the ground. If the battlefield is placed in Kuhan City, after that battle, no matter whether they win or lose, the city will probably be destroyed. Don’t want it anymore.”
Arcatus rarely agreed with McAlevey's point of view.
Yohad took an angry sip of wine and asked:
"Can't the elves' spells prevent them from coming in? I heard that your natural spells can restrain the rock demons, right?"
Regina wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows, shook her head and said:
"No, although the elves' spells can restrain them, they cannot find those rock demons underground in advance. But once they appear, it only takes a moment to cause large-scale damage to the city..."
"Damn it... Then we have a decisive battle in Beifeng Grassland. Can't those rock demons just come to Kuhan City to sneak attack?"
"Johad, you don't have to worry. The elves have a large natural barrier. As long as this barrier is formed, the rock demons cannot sneak in. But it is easily destroyed by the orc army, so we must set up a battlefield. Outside the barrier, this can prevent the barrier from being meaninglessly consumed."
"..."
Zhang Xiaoman listened quietly to their discussion of tactics and did not interrupt.
He is not good at fighting, and he does not understand the military system of this world, let alone stand up and point fingers.
None of the people present was a big shot in this field, and there was no need for him to add any extraneous details.
Although Yohad is a ninth-level battle master, he is also the king of the dwarf kingdom, a war king who led the dwarves to overthrow the rule of the Underworld Demon and gain freedom.
Regina and Akatus are also leaders of the elves. One is the queen of the elves, and the other is the leader of the elf druid faction. Each is an experienced master in war.
Even McCarvey is an old monster who has lived for more than three hundred years and is a local aborigine. He is no more familiar with this kind of cold weapon warfare in the magical world than he is.
Therefore, it was not redundant for Zhang Xiaoman to adhere to the principle that silence is golden, and just quietly listened to their tactical arrangements.
In the end, several people decided to move the battlefield forward and strive to set the decisive battle location at the entrance of the North Wind Grassland. It was a relatively open plain area surrounded by several mountains, which could be used as land to set up surprise troops.
Anyway, the walls of Kuhan City are useless to those rock demons. It is better to expand the battle line outside to avoid the damage caused by fighting in the territory.
However, the orc army is now suppressed outside the city only five kilometers away from Kuhan. It is indeed not easy to force them back to the entrance of the North Wind Plain.
Fortunately, there are five saints present, which may be difficult for others, but for today's Kuhan City, it may not be impossible.
"If you want to build a defense, maybe I can help. At least summon an earth wall or something. I can still do it."
Zhang Xiaoman spoke. He felt that there was something he could do to help, so there was no need to hide it.
After all, Zhang Xiaoman has no reason to side with the orcs, whether he is considering the Festival of God, or paving the way for obtaining the secret of McAvey's immortality, or even considering his own race.
Since he chose the camp of the Bound Breakers, he would naturally not sit back and watch the human soldiers die in the fighting without doing anything.
However, his words surprised everyone present. Yohad was the first to ask:
"Brother Ji Xing, aren't you a light magician? How come you are also proficient in earth magic?"
Several other people also showed doubtful looks.
Because unlike ordinary elemental mages, light mages generally cannot practice spells from other systems because they require devout faith. Unexpectedly, this pole star is an exception.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t explain much, he just smiled and said:
"You misunderstood, I just happen to know some light spells..."
Everyone nodded in understanding. Just as the light mage did not know elemental magic, in fact, they did not know much about light spells.
"Since you, Jiexing, have this ability, you can use it appropriately before the war begins. It will also be a good thing to reduce some casualties."
McAlevey agreed.
However, judging from his words and expression, it seemed that he didn't take the earth spell that Zhang Xiaoman mentioned too seriously.
It’s just an earth wall. So what if it’s taller and thicker? The “Empire Gate” as strong as Han City was easily destroyed by the rock demon. In such a war, these earth walls really don’t mean much. .
"Uh...okay..."
Zhang Xiaoman knew that he didn't take it seriously, but after a pause, he still didn't explain it in detail. Anyway, they would understand it after he used it.
None of the people present was a big shot in this field, and there was no need for him to add any extraneous details.
Although Johad is a ninth-level battle master, he is also the king of the dwarf kingdom, a war king who led the dwarves to overthrow the rule of the Underworld Demon and gain freedom.
Regina and Akatus are also leaders of the elves. One is the queen of the elves, and the other is the leader of the elf druid faction. Each is an experienced master in war.

Anyway, the walls of Kuhan City are useless to those rock demons. It is better to expand the battle line to the outside to avoid being trapped in the territory.
