the only savior

Chapter 923 Adlon Kingdom

Soon, half a month had passed since Zhang Xiaoman came to this world.

These days, he has been warmly invited by Baron Paladin to temporarily live in his castle.

The castle was built very luxuriously, and it was countless times more magnificent than imagined.

Speaking of which, the entire Rost City is also bigger than expected. In terms of area, it is probably comparable to Hanyue City in the Ancient God Continent.

Zhang Xiaoman originally heard that this place is close to the country's frontier, and that it is a place that few nobles are willing to take over, so he thought it would be a small town.

As a result, when he used the dark energy shock to fly around the city, he discovered that the size of this place was far beyond his imagination.

In the words of the maid serving him, although Rost City is sparsely populated and the geographical environment is not good, it is still one of the four main cities of human beings.

When it comes to this point, it is necessary to talk about the battle of the setting sun.

I heard that 300 years ago, this area was not called Sunset Swamp, and half of Rost City was not turned into ruins and sank in the swamp like it is now.

At that time, a war broke out between humans and gods on this continent, and that war was called the "War of the Setting Sun".

According to legend, this entire boundless sunset swamp appeared because of the spread of that war.

At that time, Rost City was one of the four main cities of the human race, and it 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 already forgotten it.

It is said that the ancestor of the Paladin family, the ninth-rank grand knight lord Kerberos Paladin, unfortunately fell to protect the city.

When the little maid usually mentioned Baron Sean, she always looked trembling.

However, when she talked about the former holy knight lord, the expression on her face immediately brought a touch of reverence.

"Without the protection of Grand Duke Paladin, Rost City would have been completely submerged in the swamp at that time..."

This is the sentence that the maid said the most, Zhang Xiaoman can see her piety.

However, from his understanding of Baron Sean Paladin in recent days, the people of the holy city of Rost fear him very much.

Because their lords are no longer like their ancestors.

Not to mention dedicating his life for the territory, he is simply a greedy and cruel villain.

Zhang Xiaoman's ability to see people is also very accurate now, he can almost see this from the limited contact with the other party.

But he didn't plan to take care of this kind of thing.

After all, according to the traditions and laws of this world, the other party can exercise the corresponding power in his own territory, and he has no reason to get rid of the other party because of that little notoriety.

Sometimes the cause of leaf rot is the roots.

In this western-style world, some of its own systems and customs conflict with the ideas and concepts of Zhang Xiaoman, a person from Shuilanxing.

Unless he intends to completely conquer the entire kingdom and then completely change the dynasty, otherwise such a status quo cannot be eliminated at all.

Now, after half a month of staying here, he has a certain understanding of the world.

The continent under his feet is called the Irene Continent, and the kingdom he is currently in is the Kingdom of Adren.

Humans are not the only intelligent race on this continent.

There are also ethnic groups such as elves, dwarves, orcs, and they have built their own kingdoms in various regions of the continent.

Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoman knew in his heart that this is definitely a western fantasy world.

And the reason why he has lived here for half a month is that besides temporarily needing a foothold to familiarize himself with this world, he is still trying to structure the unique power system of this world.

He wanted to see if he could get some information that would inspire his practice.

According to his understanding, the powers in this world are called fighting spirit and magic power.

Although the names are different and the forms of expression are different when used, the two are essentially the same thing.

This is like the internal force of the Ancient Continent of God, there are negative internal force and positive internal force, but in fact they are all internal force.

Therefore, for the convenience of calling, Zhang Xiaoman gave this kind of power a unified name, called "Elemental Power".

Because he feels that this power is more like an element floating in nature.

The human body can absorb a small amount, and when it needs to be used, it uses its own elemental force as a medium to mobilize more powerful elemental forces in the environment.

This point is almost the same whether it is a holy magister or a warrior.

It's just that the elemental power of a fighter is more of a non-attribute power, unlike those holy magisters who have various natural attributes such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning.

In order to understand this kind of power, Zhang Xiaoman specially found a low-level holy magister and a low-level warrior from the passing caravan, and made inferences from them.

However, in addition to these elemental forces, he also saw some other ways from the cub of the earth storm bear.

Zhang Xiaoman discovered that when the professionals in this world have cultivated to about the fourth level, that is, when the middle-level professionals, the elemental power in their bodies will gradually begin to change towards dark spiritual power.

That's why he was able to sense some traces of dark spiritual power from the bear and Gailian's body.

According to the development of this momentum, it is not difficult to guess that these professionals will eventually change jobs completely at a certain stage and become a real dark spirit.

It's a pity that, due to the constraints of the conditions, he can't calculate the extent of this stage for the time being.

As for the way of using this elemental power, Zhang Xiaoman still thinks it is a bit crude.

Warriors use battle qi to strengthen their bodies, while holy magisters rub a few small fireballs and throw some Pyroblasts at most.

The difference between high-level and low-level is mainly the difference in quantity, basically there is no more complicated skill combination and application.

He speculates that this may also be limited by the use of elemental power, which cannot be as varied as real dark spiritual power.

Of course, in half a month, his understanding of this world is very limited, and he can't draw conclusions on this, and more needs to be further analyzed in depth.

As for the two newly obtained rings, Zhang Xiaoman also took some time to understand them.

Among them, the dark ring is naturally needless to say.

Indeed, it has the power to arm the human body. In Gailian's original words, it is "the transformation of the dark knight".

It's just that this kind of transformation seems to have some costs, it needs to consume the user's vitality, and it can't be used easily.

But that bright ring seemed to have completely lost its power, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't feel the slightest 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 used to forge it was very similar to that of the dark ring, he would even think that this family heirloom treasured underground by Baron Sean might have been swapped.

Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out even now.

Regarding this, although Zhang Xiaoman was also a little disappointed, he was not so angry as to ask Baron Sean to return the product.

Anyway, it didn't cost him anything to get the ring back then, it was just some readily available gold.

On Shui Lanxing's side, the fighting had already stopped on the second day.

It's just that in the next few days, the points for killing the white-haired monster have been credited one after another. It seems that the trackers are cleaning up the fish that slipped through the net and escaped to the outside world.

For this, Zhang Xiaoman was very pleased.

My own efforts were not in vain, and the black goat crisis of Shui Lanxing was resolved.

It's just that the troublesome thing 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 a branch of the World Tree to open a new door under the tree, or return through the dimensional crack.

But here comes the problem, if you want to use the first method, you have to spend a lot of stardust, and then exchange it for a branch of the World Tree from the guild store.

But Zhang Xiaoman basically gave all the stardust to Lin Sisi before leaving, and now he is in a different world, if he wants to get stardust, he can only get it through the system's daily lottery.

Because the use of points to exchange for stardust requires the world tree to bear fruit and drop, and there is no world tree here, so it is impossible to use this method to exchange.

But if it is done step by step through the system lottery, even if you get stardust every day, it will take a full four hundred days.

As for the remaining method of returning, 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 Water Blue Planet.

In this way, if he was lucky, he might get the news today, and he could go home tomorrow.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman made a basic plan for his next course of action.

He needs more information to find out where there are dimensional rifts in this world.

First of all, his goal is the main human city [-] kilometers away to the east, and it is also one of the last two main human cities left in the world——Tarata.

Compared with the dilapidated holy city of Rost, the prosperity of the royal city of Tarata is simply not the same.

There is the core of the human kingdom, the largest city in the world.

Zhang Xiaoman came to this different world full of western fantasy style, saying that he didn't want to experience it would be a lie.

It just so happens that he needs a lot of information right now, so he feels that it is necessary for him to go there, so that he can see what the most prosperous city in the world looks like by the way.

However, due to the long distance of the journey, Zhang Xiaoman has no way to directly use the dark energy vibration to fly there.

Compared with Yufeng Jue, the flying ability of dark energy shock is very weak.

It is even called a faster floating spell than flying.

The dark energy shock can slowly float and move in the air at a short distance, but once the distance is too far, it is not worthwhile to use it.

Not to mention the huge consumption of dark energy, the flying speed is 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 using dark energy to vibrate and fly.

So he is actually very curious, since people in this world need to reach the holy rank to be able to fly in the air, how do they travel long distances?
One must know that the area of ​​the Irene Continent is not small.

It's just that in the human kingdom, there is a distance of more than 500 kilometers between Sunset Swamp and Tarata King City.

This is equivalent to the straight-line distance from Huaxia Kingdom of Water Blue Star to Rebirth Island.

Such a long road, relying on the backward means of transportation of human beings in this world, there is no way to easily cross the domain.

Therefore, since such a large country can have this level of land area, it must also have a more efficient transportation mode.

Otherwise, it is obviously unrealistic to only rely on horse-drawn carriages for transportation.

In the end, Zhang Xiaoman found the answer in the last caravan.

The means of transportation they used came from a magical beast named Fengpeng.

This is a third-order monster with a large body and a gentle personality.

Although its level is not high, its size is unusually large. After an adult Fengpeng spreads its wings, it can even catch up with the size of a giant dragon.

After human beings domesticated it, they used it as a means of air transportation for long-distance travel.

It's just that this kind of transportation is expensive, and ordinary civilians will hardly take it once in a lifetime.

Only people who are like some large caravans that often need to travel from north to south will take it.

Unfortunately, in the once holy city of Rost, there was not even a single Fengpeng to be found.

If those caravans want to take Fengpeng, they need to go to Cantel City, which is [-] kilometers away.

In fact, this is also expected.

After all, the price of Fengpeng is expensive, and if you want to open a route, you must set up a complete Fengpeng domestication point.

Considering Baron Sean's money-greedy character, such a large sum of money might as well decorate the castle more gorgeously for himself. How could he "waste" money in such a place?

In the end, after these days of staying, Zhang Xiaoman planned to follow the caravan to leave Rost City and go to Tara Tower, more than 2000 kilometers away, to obtain information about the dimensional rift.

Of course, if he can find the target ahead of time along the way, this journey can end as soon as possible.

Although the Star Alliance is under the management of Su Changqing, the organization is now in a period of rapid development, and Shenguxing and Gulingxing have a lot of plans to complete, so he still has to go back as soon as possible to make overall arrangements.
