City of Sin: Under Secrets
In Phaser silent for a while and both eyes, the light keeps flashing. After a while, I said: "It is because of the battle."
Phaser uses some kind of complex scripture, which belongs to the same language family as Broodmother, but is different from the scripture system known by Norland. Because of Broodmother, Richard can understand what it is talking about, not just relying on conscious communication.
This is another small detail that Richard feels weird. Humanoid combat units are not humans after all. In fact, language is not necessary, especially when only Richard and Phaser are present, they can communicate with consciousness. But Phaser seems to behave more like a human being. Every time Richard talks to it, whether it is speaking or conscious contact, Phaser generally answers in language.
But Phaser's answer this time obviously cannot satisfy Richard.
"Be more specific."
"... In the battle, the souls of the enemies killed by me will be extracted by me and transformed into the power for my use, which can improve my combat power." Phaser finally made it clear this time.
"Where did this ability come from?"
"I had it when I was created, it should be the ability to extract from the original template."
Richard nodded, now the problem has been clarified. It seems that Phaser inherited a lot of Sinclair's abilities during his lifetime, and even enhanced in some aspects. After all, it is a special unit created by consuming all three divinities. Richard currently has no specific concept of how the three divinities are, but it is certainly not worse than the ancestor spirit of a Orc large tribe Shaman.
But looking at the evolutionary trend of Phaser, it should gradually give up strengthening defense and focus on increasing speed and lethality. Richard considered for a while, and was not prepared to interfere with its natural evolution direction, but decided to make a set of light armor for it tailored. Defensive power is equally important on the battlefield. Heavy attack and light defense only play a role when small teams fight. Basic defense can sometimes save lives, as can be seen from the end of Sinclair.
After letting Phaser leave, Richard thought of water splash again. This wild and cold girl also ignores the defense, and even leather armor is reluctant to wear it. Rune only provides a little defense, and it does not provide any protection when faced with the real strong. So Richard also decided to order a set of leather armor for the girl, and she can no longer be allowed to fight according to her personality.
As more than two hundred wooden stakes were erected, the bodies of ‘robbers’ hanging on the wooden stakes quickly became a hot topic on the ground of Fontaine Barony. A few days later, the news was like flying wings and flying to all parts of Sequoia Kingdom. So Richard and his territories, which are called hairless territories, once again entered the vision of the kingdom's top management.
In countless afternoon tea parties, banquets and card tables, Richard has become a topic of discussion. No one has ever heard of the surname Archeron, and his pedigree in the official records has been broken off in the noble heraldry for four generations. Therefore, Richard is unfortunately classified as an upstart, and Was labeled as "cold".
However, the nobles did not think that Richard was brutal. All he did was one of the common methods used by Great Noble to deal with bandits. In history, some nobles even chopped up the whole group of robbers and cooked them, and then fed them to the dogs as feed. So what Richard does is only cold standards.
The Grand Mage identity of Richard is also one of the topics that people are curious about. Such a young Grand Mage is rare in Faroese history, so many nobles tend to have at least one Archmage behind Richard, and are close to the legendary rank Archmage. This Archmage is unknown, and it is likely to be a strong man hiding in Dark World.
The so-called Dark World is a place where the human footprint has never been or rarely set foot. For example, Ancestral Highlands in the southwest of Bloodstained Lands and Barbarian. And the pale plateau northwest of Bloodstained Lands, where is the kingdom of Orc, mountain people and dwarves.
The impact of this incident on the territory of Richard is minimal, because his territory was originally a rough place, and there were few villages at all. In the eyes of Sequoia Kingdom, this is definitely a big deal.
In the secret room of Twilight Castle, a majestic middle-aged nobleman smashed the precious fine porcelain teacup in his hand and shouted at the uncle Little Fontaine Baron in front of him: "This is your good idea! You are not saying that even Richard Do n’t you dare to know that we did it? Now, the Eagle Flag knights of the two squadrons have been killed cleanly, stripped of their armor, and hung in the wilderness! You said, how do you end now? "
"Sir, Richard dare to kill the Eagle Flag knight, and hang their bodies, this is definitely an insult! Lord Duke should launch a large army and directly destroy his little ..."
A crackling sound, the little Baron uncle had n’t finished speaking, and he got a loud slap in the face on his face! This slap in the face was so heavy that he flew upside down and fell to the cart with black tea set behind him.
The middle-aged nobleman only has the strength of Level 8, but a slap in the face flies off Level 11 ’s uncle Baron. The uncle of the little Baron only has the title of a knight. In the face of the middle-aged nobles with royal blood and Earl on the ground, they dare not resist or evade. They can only survive this slap in the face.
Mid-year-old family name is Latu. He is the nephew of the current king. The territory is rich in special products and the private army is strong. Even if it does not depend on royal blood, it is also a powerful figure who cannot be easily offended. He appears here, of course, not just for the benefit of the Baron family or the face of the Zim Viscount. But the incompetence of the Baron family still angered Earl Latu, who didn't expect much from their IQ.
"Fool! Richard killed them as car robbers, and even ruined their faces. All the secrets on the linen lining were torn off, and they could not be identified at all. Before he officially wrote to Barony In response to several incidents of cargo being robbed, did n’t you claim that there was a group of robbers in the territory, and now the robbers are punished! What can we say! ”Latu scolded.
"Yes, Master Latu, it's my inconsideration." Little Baron's uncle climbed up and said in a low voice that he wouldn't even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Earl Latu heavily snorted, looked at him contemptuously, and said coldly: "Do you think this matter is so resolved? More than two hundred Eagle Flag knights! How do you tell us how to deal with their families, how to say And now there are n’t even any relics, let alone how many pensions there will be! If it ’s not your stupidity, how could they be wiped out! "
"Isn't this plan your strong support?" Of course, this little uncle Baron didn't dare really say it, he could only roar in heart.
Block the goods leading to the Richard territory, anger Richard, and wait for the counterattack of Richard. This is the plan made by Latu and Uncle Baron after the defeat of Zim.
