The Amber Sword: Act 45 ‘lair’
Act 45 "lair"
As we all know, the formation of Vaunde comes from the Kirrlutzian **** Aixule, or the mother Marsha of Aouinian and the four elf kings to constrain chaos (also known as the sea of chaos outside the world) to make it in six elements Form a border.
Within this boundary, the outer layer is the elemental territory, and the inner layer is the infinite land.
The power of the gods that guide the world Laws is reflected on the sky above the earth, forming the sun, moon, and stars. Therefore, life is born from the water, reproduces on the earth, is blessed by the wind, and is endowed with wisdom by the flame. It's done.
However, beyond the 130 million Laws -- God-Man Biblea'thro (Element Laws) -- set by God Aixule, the Sea of Chaos is not surrendered, it is also mapped on the sky and is called by Demonic Cultist The third month is the holy month in Tree Shepherds or the Mana month described in the Silver Celestial Serpent and Origin Association books.
According to legend, the Mana month is the moon of summer, the month of the scroll, the month of the book, and the month of Month of Recovery watching the earth -- from the western half of the sky for a few months. Therefore, these months are also the peak periods of wizard and witches Mana. It is also the most fading period of Elementalist. At this moment, the Mana tide caused by the month of -- Mana makes waves on the sea of chaos, thus causing the monsters affected by these Manas to breed in the dark.
That is, the monster -- Mana tide in people's mouths drove them to attack the civilized areas, causing the guardian land of Aixule to collapse inward. The layout of the -- civilization also contracted accordingly. In the early Chaos era, the tide of -- Mana was almost a each civilization The enemy of life and death, and this is why Correct Pioneer Knight is existence.
Even in modern times, a country's reserve of war potential must be prepared for the decline of civilization.
However, the tide of Mana comes once every ten years. The last visit has just passed two years. The tide of once every 100 years is also too early, so people in this era are not too worried.
Only after the tide of Mana recedes, the lair that generates monster will not disappear. They also produce monster composed of Mana or mutated beasts over the years. Therefore, the surrounding areas of big cities occasionally receive information that roads are cut off by monster.
At Aouine, clearing these monster and lair is the job of the police and Holy Cathedral of Fire.
However, not all lairs will be destroyed. In the long-term battle with Chaos, people are like how their ancestors discovered how to domesticate wild beasts. They learned how to domesticate lair and make the products in it useful for themselves.
Even after a long period of research, humans, elf, and even dwarves and other races themselves have figured out how to make similar 'lair'.
For example, Gargoyle lair of Buga is a typical example.
The domesticated lair is similar to the Aouine Wyvern Knight mount and Kirrlutzian's Griffin. And people often see Earth Raptor, war Hydra or Black Wolf.
But there is still another lair, Guardian's Cave, which was born under the influence of the order Laws faction of Marsha (Aixule), or the faction of light, darkness, flame, wind, water, or rocks. product.
For example, the abyss of wind of Saers, the gate of heaven of Church Knight group country, Madara's shadow canyon.
Of course, these lairs are also divided into three, six, nine, and other --s.
For example, Silver Wing Cavalry Regiment and most of the hounds lair in the army barracks. Although the annual output of this thing is as high as sixteen, unfortunately, the combat effectiveness is only beyond the average hound frontline.
Moreover, the lifespan of monster gradually declines with the Mana constituting their bodies, often short-lived. Even a long-lived dragon family will disappear after 100 years. -- Compared with the real Dragon Race, the difference between Heaven and Earth.
The Lair of Stone mentioned here by Brando is an artificial lair. It is a product of alchemy. The monster produced is a stone statue with a combat power of about seven or eight adults. This lair is a kind of lair that is quite low grade, but it is more popular. Many noble territories have this kind of thing. Although Intelligence is low, Ishizuki can also be used as a soldier.
So when Amandina saw Boulder Mercenary's pendant, the first thing that came to mind was this. If Brando intends to build some Lair of Stone, how much money can this necklace save them?
The Batum takes into account the increased yield in disguise.
Thus, the three are determined to ‘grab’ this necklace into their hands --
The reserve price will soon come out. Of course, Boulder Mercenary's pendant is not as precious as Elemental Inspiration scroll, so its price is only 2,000 Tor, and each time it increases by 100.
Because he was willing to win, this time Brando was not in a hurry to make a move. He waited to see other people's make a move, so as not to expose the one's own idea prematurely.
The first bidder was born in the crowd, and the one holding the sign was also a young Knight. Both Amandina and Batum glanced over there, but the surface remained calm.
The price has gone up to three thousand after a few competitions, and the number of bidders has begun to decrease. Brando understands that most of the people who participated in the auction before had a participatory attitude. In fact, most of them were not really interested in this necklace.
But at this point, the competition started to appear calm, but inside it became fierce.
The bidding right was quickly taken over by the small nobles in the third floor box, and Cripple told them about several of these people. Most are noble outside Bruglas, with one's own territory.
The price has risen to 4,000 Tor, which is not low for this necklace. The real hunters are joining the competition at this moment.
From 4,400, the third box on the right gives an offer of 5,000.
for a moment was almost completely quiet.
A lot of people are thinking, are those nobles crazy? And more people can't help but be impatient, this sudden offer made some speculators realize that this necklace may bring them more benefits.
One more ripple in the crowd, which makes Brando a bit uncomfortable. He knew that it was necessary to dispel these speculators with facts, so he let Cripple make a move.
Six thousand Tor.
Be quiet again.
The eager people immediately smelled the Aura at the beginning of the war, and they all carefully retracted their hands.
Seven thousand.
This time I bid for Captain of a certain White Mane Legion, and was picked up by a noble in the city at a price of 7,500.
Brando did not hesitate to raise the price to eight thousand.
Batum swallowed.
8,100, the price of the third box on the right.
Brando asked Cripple to bid upgrade to for 8,500. He looked at the platform and didn't mean to give up. Amandina couldn't help but clenched the handle of the chair behind him, his finger joints were pale.
The dimly lit auction floor is silent, and even nobles is silent. No one is a fool here, for a rock legion necklace, they will also consider whether it is worth it.
But Brando's has different considerations. His needs for the army and territory are more urgent than anyone. The funds in Amandina are for the territory and existence. This is also the consensus reached by him, Batum and the damsel.
The auctioneer hammered once.
The Captain of the White Mane Legion seems to be eager to try, and is planning to struggle again, but he hesitated, and eventually did not have make a move.
After three hammers, Brando obtained the necklace as expected. The Cripple man had already settled the bill with his money and then sent the things over.
Brando glanced around and noticed that he didn't pay attention to this direction before carefully putting away the necklace. After all, this thing can only be used in Lair of Stone, and it can only be temporarily used as an exhibit.
After the rock legion necklace, the auction will gradually heat up. First, a few artworks were added to create a scramble between noble, and then two sets of bronze-level magic armor. These two sets of armour almost ignited the adventurer, The enthusiasm of mercenary and those travelling Knight was hot at the moment, and two armours were finally sold for more than 40,000 Tor.
Then a series of popular products, Brando once again got a set of playing cards known as Mana. However, he did not want this set of cards, but to get the fate card mixed in this set of playing cards.
In fact, as soon as the auctioneer took the set of cards to the platform, a few cards in his backpack immediately responded. He and Ciel looked at each other and immediately bought the card.
He didn't have any strong opponents this time, only a few noble who liked strange gadgets competed with him, and finally told him to successfully buy the card at the price of 2,500 Tor.
Brando When drawing the destiny card from the deck of playing cards, it was found that this was a cyan Card. The front of the card was drawn with a group of cyan spiders born from the whirlwind. The serial number of the card was iii. The payment fee is the corresponding Wind Element --
Wind Spider Spiders
(Hia's oraclesiii)
Wind 1 / x
[Creature – Element / insect, Level 5 [Creature]]
Pay x and send x cyan spawned creature (Wind Spider Spirits, level 5) put into play.
Aeolian Spiderlings die. Assign a target to burn x points of mana.
‘from the vortex, return to mana vortex --’
Brando could not help but scan for a while while scanning the description of the card. The first call to the Level 5 [Creature] card gave him a sense of loss, and the cost labeling and description made him puzzled. He thought for a while and couldn't help turning his head to ask Ciel in a low voice: "What does this mean?"
One side of Ciel glanced at the card and smiled slightly.
