Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 31:
Along the tundra wasteland all the way to the southeast, the scenery in front of you gradually becomes prosperous.
There are fewer and fewer moss on the ground, and more and more shrubs and weeds; not only has the number of creatures in the grasses increased, but the species is even more bizarre; the number of encounters with northerners is also increasing, the herdsmen and herds The scale is also constantly expanding.
When the soil under his feet finally ceased to be frozen soil, Sui Xiong saw a very clear line.
The dividing line between grassland and frozen soil.
This is a very strange scene, as if there is such an invisible hand between the world and the earth, dividing this wild wasteland into two. The north is a barren permafrost wasteland, and the south is an endless prairie. To the grassland is often only a few steps away.
Sui Xiong flew in the air, staring at the magnificent scene dreamily, feeling a lot more relaxed.
He grabbed a bunch of weeds around him, using magic techniques to turn them into paper, and then turned a section of shrubs into charcoal, and painted on it.
After painting for more than half an hour in one breath, a landscape sketch is already on paper.
Of course, what Sui Xiong is painting is the scene he sees at this moment. Because of the increase in power and keen perception, his painting skills have improved greatly without knowing it. When he concentrates on painting, he still doesn’t feel that. I looked at it after I finished the painting, and I was shocked.
"I think this painting can be used as a template or textbook in school..." Looking at his own work, he couldn't help but mutter, "If I can return to the earth, or I can really be A painter?"
"At that time, I will specialize in painting various landscapes, and one painting will sell for two million!"
He thought about it, and shook his head: "Two million is impossible. I don't know people who are in trouble. People don't need to ask me to help with money laundering. Where can I get nervous and smash huge sums of money on my paintings...but Two million can’t be sold, but 200,000 is still okay? No matter how bad it is, it should be at least 20,000..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered a joke.
When he was in college, there was a classmate in his class who wrote online novels. He was both an author and a reader. One day the brother said indignantly that an author he likes has not been updated for several months.
"I have written 400,000 words, and wondering how he should write 140,000 words! There is no one hundred and forty thousand, at least forty thousand; forty thousand is not, or four thousand, and finally it will be updated. One or two chapters... As a result, he didn’t update one chapter! I couldn’t help but ask him, only to know that this **** is busy playing games, eating and drinking every day, and only wrote four words in total!"
Thinking of this funny story, Sui Xiong couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and missed his hometown a little more.
Putting away the drawing paper, he stepped on the soft pasture and walked towards the depths of the grassland.
This grassland is called "wild grassland" by bards and scholars, but civilians and adventurers prefer to call it "great wilderness". This is the place where the orcs and half-orcs live together, and it is also the only empire in the entire main plane.
The Orc Empire.
You can be the king if you dominate one party, and you can be the emperor if you dominate a clan. The main plane is large and there are many races, but there are only two people who are truly qualified to be called "Emperors."
One is the lord of the dragon clan, and all the dragons are at least nominally surrendered to his demigod powerhouse, the Golden Dragon Emperor. The other is the lord of the orcs, the emperor who rules the entire wilderness, the legendary powerhouse, and the emperor of the wilderness.
At least 70% of the orcs and more than half of the half-orcs in the entire main plane live in the Great Wilderness. This is also the only place where they have their own country. It is the orc empire that rules this vast wilderness. Every time, these savage guys will attack east and south due to lack of resources, or more simply out of the desire for violence and blood.
In the east of the orc empire is the Kingdom of Holy Angels. It is a very powerful country, and its state religion is the belief in the sun god. The number of domestic priests is astonishing, and they have extraordinary toughness in battle. No matter how the orc empire attacks, they can firmly hold the line of defense, and they have never been taken advantage of by the orcs.
The southern part of the orc empire is the Eagle Kingdom, which is the human country with the longest history on the main plane. The domestic martial arts are prosperous and masters are like clouds. This country is also one of the few countries where the belief in the **** of knights is respected. The Continental Knights Tournament held every three years always attracts knights from all parts of the continent. Whether it is a performance-type noble knight or an actual combat-type adventurous knight, they can all be honored with their own skills. There are often people here who become famous in one fell swoop, from a generation of obscurity, suddenly become a famous mainland powerhouse.
Different from the Holy Angel Kingdom, which blindly adopts a defensive approach, the Eagle Kingdom does not show any weakness against the orc empire, and fought back and forth with them. Basically every three to five years, they will launch an army to attack the orc empire. On the one hand, it is to eliminate hidden dangers, and on the other hand, it is also to demonstrate force.
However, since the "blood-stained eagle crown" ******** eighteen years ago, the senior knights of the Eagle Kingdom have suffered many deaths and injuries. Even after a generation, this loss is still Can't fully make up for it. In recent years, they have been at a disadvantage in the war with the orc empire, very passive.
According to Sui Xiong's plan, he would not pass the Eagle Kingdom until he turned back. Now he just passed through the Orc Empire and headed for the Holy Angel Kingdom.
Walking on the grassland is a very interesting thing, especially when the night comes, the sky full of stars is like dotted on a huge cover, and then the cover is directly buckled on the vast ground, and the starry sky can be clearly seen The boundary with the earth is almost like sea level.
The night belongs to all kinds of ferocious wild creatures, whether they are beasts, beasts, or orcs, it makes no difference.
Anyway, no matter what it is, killing is the main occupation, almost.
Sui Xiong lay on the grass looking up at the starry sky, comparing it with the starry sky of the earth in his own impression, trying to find some similarities. But after searching for a long time, he finally failed to find a bigger common ground, so he could only sigh dejectedly, and then turned the yellowing weeds around him into a blanket of grass and wrapped his body.
He is not afraid of the cold, but he feels sleeping when he is wrapped in a blanket.
However, he didn't sleep for long with this sleep. In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a powerful object approaching and was awakened.
The powerful aura that made him feel a little uneasy came from a warrior wearing a light half-length armor. He was an orc, or to be precise a lion, with a golden mane shining brightly under the stars The light shines brightly around. He carried a big sword on his shoulder. There was no complicated decoration on the sword, but the magical brilliance from the sword proved that it was extraordinary, but the manufacturer did not like luxury.
Sui Xiong sensed the breath of this lion man with some doubts. He always felt that he had seen this man somewhere.
When this man approached, he suddenly realized that he smiled and shouted: "Iron Lion, good evening!"
"Iron Lion" is another name for the Lord of the Wild Gods, Morani. This orc-born deity is a ranger from the famous mainland. He likes to wander around and fight injustices the most—somewhat similar to the God of Justice, but he is better at doing things The **** of justice is much more reliable, so it is more popular.
In the beginning, Sui Xiong received his favor shortly after setting foot on land. At that time, if it hadn't been for him to take shelter, facing the patron saint of the Dark Night God System, Sleepless, Sui Xiong would probably suffer a big loss.
Sui Xiong is a person who must avenge and avenge his gratitude. After receiving the favor of Morani, he has always wanted to reciprocate, but this steel lion has no fixed place, just like the **** of justice. Wandering around, Sui Xiong has not formally entrusted him to the gods, and cannot contact him through the Pantheon, so he can only wait for the opportunity.
His luck is good, now is a good opportunity!
However, what made Sui Xiong a little helpless was that Morani had long forgotten what had happened.
In the past few years, he has traveled all over the world, doing a lot of knighthood and fighting injustices, helping many people in need, and comparing it to all kinds of evil things many times. It’s a small village in an ash forest. Things really don't deserve how he takes it in his heart.
But in fact, it is impossible to completely forget. A mortal can subconsciously write down everything he has seen in his life, and the deity can only remember more things.
Sui Xiong reminded him a little bit, he remembered what happened back then, and greeted Sui Xiong with a smile.
The two sides chatted for a while, and this deity, who had some hindsight, became friends with Sui Xiong.
His character is bold and free and easy, and his speech is also very straightforward. Although a little lack of etiquette, he has a kind of innocent charm that makes it easy for people to believe his words. Sui Xiong's noble character also made Sui Xiong admire his noble character without asking for repayment, or even remembering it in his heart.
Morani did not confuse the hapless jellyfish he saved with the powerful natural **** who killed the two gods in World War I~ IndoMTL.com~ After all, although both are jellyfish, the gap is too big. It's almost like a wooden sword and an iron sword, and they are essentially different.
When they talked about Sui Xiong's experiences over the years, he couldn't help being surprised.
When Sui Xiong said that he was operating an amusement park, he was even more surprised and had an interesting idea.
"The maze under your playground is actually a training base for adventurers, isn't it?" He said with interest, "Then why not use this training ground to train your church knights? ?"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, only to realize that there was a blind spot in his mind, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"Let's do it when I get back... but I don't worry about it."
Morani nodded slightly, and Sui Xiong was right. For the deity, there is really nothing to be called anxious.
"If you don’t mind, can I let my believers go to the Underground Labyrinth for training?" He said, "My believers often have conflicts with the guys who are in the underground, and do some special projects for them. Training can help a lot."
"What's the problem with this! Pack it on me!" Sui Xiong slapped his chest with a bang, and said, "Training, board and lodging, school and meeting!"
