Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 626, Choices and Rumors
(PS: Four updates, one update is the previous one.)
After a small bonfire banquet, a few people including Yi Shanjiu and Ai Yi drank some wine, while the rest did not drink at all. After all, this place is still in the wilderness, and we are still strangers to each other, so everyone is on guard. normal.

However, after Yi Shanjiu and his guards learned that the leader of the Green Arrow Adventure Group is a second-level magician, they were much more enthusiastic than at the beginning, and they all spoke with humility. At night, I saw Ai cast magic on a big tree, and all the elves entered the tree, and a few humans were also called in. Yi Shanjiu and his guard leader looked at each other With a glance, the eyes are full of envy and jealousy.

"There really are magicians who came out to organize an adventure group. I always thought it was just a rumor in the market, but it turned out to be true." Yi Shanjiu sighed for a long time before saying.

The leader of his guards is named Robert, who is a rare advanced golden rooster species in the Eagle family. At this time, Robert smiled bitterly and said: "And he is a second-level magician, this is a magician of the elves. For the elves Besides, unless they belong to the top [-] clans, they are all treated as high-level magicians... These young masters and ladies from rich families are really puzzling."

"It's okay if you don't understand, otherwise we will be young masters and misses of rich people." Yi Shanjiu said with a smile.

Robert shook his head slightly, but he didn't have any doubts about it. At the previous dinner table, he confirmed again and again that these elves were not ignorant ordinary citizens. They had indeed experienced bloody battles in the wild. It can be seen from the above, and at the same time, there is no bloody smell of intelligent creatures, but the bloody smell of monsters on their bodies, so these people are really members of the adventure group, and they are also the adventure group of the lawful and good camp.

The golden rooster is an advanced individual in the eagle people, and the number is very small. Compared with the ordinary eagle people, the golden rooster's vision is not too good, but the sense of smell and spirit vision are far superior to the eagle people, so He can smell blood that ordinary people can't smell, and he can also distinguish the details. At the same time, he is very sensitive to resentment, resentment, ghosts, curses, etc. Yi Shanjiu has escaped countless disasters, which can be regarded as the trump card of Yi Shanjiu, a business group.

At this time, Yishanjiu showed a philistine expression and said: "However, I am really lucky. I met a second-level elf magician on the way. We must not neglect it. It is best to leave some after entering the alliance." Contact information, I think this master magician also needs some channels to buy magic medicinal materials and the like? Otherwise, why would they go to the Plant Alliance? This is friendship. If we have more friendship, we will also be regarded as this master magician in the future I'm an acquaintance, if this adult can be promoted to a high-level magician, something flowing from her fingers will be enough for us... I am not willing to sell blue salt for the rest of my life."

Robert also nodded slightly when he heard the words, he pulled out his precious first-order enchanted weapon, looked at it again and again, and then said to Yi Shanjiu: "Old Yi, I have used this enchanted weapon for almost ten years, right? Do you think it would be better for me, a Tier [-] Swift Wind Warrior, to switch to a magic weapon?"

Yi Shanjiu just laughed and changed the topic constantly, but Robert didn't follow him, pulling Yi Shanjiu to keep asking, and the two gradually walked away.

In the tree camp, many human beings were missing suddenly, and the whole tree camp seemed much empty. All the elves surrounded Hao, listening to Hao's analysis of the business group.

"It is indeed a very ordinary small business group in the countryside. The head of the business group is of mixed race, a few guards of the Eagle tribe, and some ordinary mortal employees. This is a very ordinary small business group in the countryside. The annual rate of return is about 250. About Lingshi, in addition to paying staff salaries, guard salaries, weapon maintenance, and maintenance and consumption of livestock, vehicles, etc., part of it is counted as working capital. The annual deposit is estimated to be only about [-] Lingshi. "

Hao recalled various details while talking: "According to this analysis and deduction, this small business group may not be able to survive the impact of the next Ten Thousand Clans War, and will go bankrupt in the third year when the Ten Thousand Clans War broke out completely, but this business group There are some hidden things, probably the personal adventures of the head of the business group, but these are trivial matters, in short, it is safe to follow this business group into the Plant Alliance."

All the elves breathed a sigh of relief. These days, they have become more and more convinced of Hao, and at the same time they really understand why the Wanzu often boast so much about the wise man. This business group even lost the secret of their underpants in front of Hao, who can resist this.

Hao continued: "Although this business group is small, it has all kinds of internal organs. It has a wide range of contacts. It is estimated that there are a lot of contacts, especially those in the lower class. These are good things. Afterwards, Nuo Duo, you can associate with them more. For the rest of the road, reach a consensus with them and keep in touch with them in the future. After we enter the Plant Alliance, we need a channel to buy and sell supplies, especially magic medicinal materials. If we buy them ourselves, we will need too much and it is easy to encounter them. All kinds of conflicts, being deceived, being followed, etc., if there is a channel from this business group, it will save us a lot of trouble."

Speaking of this, Hao said to Ai Yi: "Miss Ai Yi, if you encounter something on the road these days, you might as well use more magic to come out, and then you can show some troubled expressions from time to time."

Then Hao said to Nuo Duo: "Mr. Nuo Duo, when you interact with people in this business group these days, you can occasionally tell the head of the business group that he is worried about becoming a high-level magician after drinking or during meals. Don’t say anything, just a few words.”

Nuo Duo nodded knowingly, and then Hao gave a few words to the other elves, nothing more than telling these elves not to reveal the truth in the future.

Then, Hao carved some topographic maps on the floor of the tree house, a long straight road, and then a circle. In this circle, the names of several cities were written, and then Hao carved out the names of several cities on the floor of the tree house. A large number of words have been written around the cities, that is, the surrounding villages of these cities.

Although the Plant Alliance is only an alliance, it is definitely incomparable with the Elf Empire, whether it is civilization, population, background, or size, but if it can be called an alliance, it must be a power with holy gods sitting in it. The population is estimated to be hundreds of The number of billions is also extremely vast. Just on this border line alone, there are as many as seven or eight cities, and the number of towns and villages is at least several hundred.

All this information is recorded in Hao’s memory, and now he has written it all silently, and then carefully looked at the map, analyzing the location of these towns, the size of the town, the population of the town, the specialty of the town and its surroundings, etc., and then he One of the cities and two towns drew a circle, and after thinking about it for a long time, he crossed out that city. In the end, he only looked at these two towns.

The elves next to him were all watching Hao's actions, and they also understood that Hao was choosing the next destination. Regarding this, the elves actually wanted to choose the city in their heart. After all, after the elves established the empire, After so many years of cultural development, ordinary elves have long been accustomed to the city atmosphere, convenience, safety, etc. As for the plants, there are more varieties. On the contrary, the wilderness, the real jungle countryside, is not what the elves like. of.

But they also know that Hao's decisions are often far-reaching, which is related to the development of the team, and they can't say anything based on their preferences, so watching Hao choose and choose, the remaining two towns seem to refuse to let him go. He was satisfied, and the many elves became anxious immediately, and they all looked at Ai secretly.

Ai Yi was also helpless, so he coughed lightly and said: "God, we know that you are very cautious, you don't count victory, you count defeat first, and you also want to find a safe place as a place to stay, and you also have the idea of ​​finding a way out, but you Don’t you think the towns are already safe? Even if we don’t go to the cities, the towns should be fine. If it’s really the countryside, except for agricultural products and farmland, it will be very difficult for us to develop.”

Hao nodded slightly when he heard the words, and looked away from the village, and continued to go back and forth between the two towns. Many elves were relieved, and Ai Yi smiled and said to Hao: "God, in fact, sometimes I think you are too cautious. Although our team is not strong, but with me as a magician and warrior, your strength is not weak, and you are still a wise man, and we are not conspicuous. Do you worry too much? Already, are you being too cautious?"

Hao sighed softly and said, "There is something wrong with your thinking. You will never worry too much, and you will never be too cautious. This world is always full of various accidents. I will never let fate or Luck determines my future. For example, there may be countless undead around in the next second, or the city we go to will be sacrificed to the lower plane by the power, or the plant alliance will become the battlefield of the holy gods. Or the holy gods directly attacked us, or some of our internal personnel betrayed us and leaked our secrets and whereabouts, causing us to be hunted down, or we encountered a sudden large-scale natural disaster, or there was a hidden existence in low latitudes that polluted and corrupted the surrounding area. , or the master-servant contract you signed with me is actually fake, or the legacy I obtained is actually a trap, or you are all monsters corrupted by low latitudes, or we are all powerful Chess pieces, toys, or we are all characters in a certain book, being treated maliciously by someone... etc. If you are not careful, a hundred lives will die very quickly."

(...Isn't this more cautious than usual? It is not an exaggeration to say that you are persecuted.)
All the elves could hear their pain secretly, but they couldn't say anything more. Facts have proved that, thanks to Hao's prudence along the way, a lot of disasters that might be wiped out, such as the Yazi beast herd , such as the several landslides in the hilly area, were all relying on Hao's prudence to survive.

Ai laughed and joked at this moment: "You are so cautious and apprehensive, why don't you just build a floating city, that thing is the safest, and you can hide in subspace to escape to Outer plane, is there a safer place than this?"

"Floating Void City...?" Hao thought seriously.

Ai Yi immediately pulled Hao and said: "Wait, wait a minute, you don't really have this plan, do you? Don't be kidding, it is a war weapon for mortals that can only be made by an arcanist. There were three floating cities, all of which fell when the Logic Clan confronted the Titans. Since then, almost all members of the Logic Clan have been hidden from the world, and they have not built another one for so many years. I am afraid that the consumption of building a floating city is worse than becoming a saint. The gods are bigger, right? We have no technology, no supplies, no personnel, what are we thinking about!"

"Well, the Floating Void City is indeed a little exaggerated." Hao admitted frankly, which relieved the elves around him, and then he continued: "But the Floating Magic Tower should still be able to think of a way."

"Floating... magic tower!?" Ai murmured with his eyes widened.

Hao nodded and said: "As for the magic tower, I have also had a detailed understanding. Any magic tower can increase the magician's combat power. Depending on the number of floors of the magic tower, the functions are different, and the manufacturing materials are different. The increase ranges from Seventy to eighty percent to seventy to eight times more likely, the territory that can be sheltered also varies from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. At the same time, magic towers are divided into many subspecies, variants, and advanced varieties, such as the abyss magic tower, which is the lower The magicians above like to make it the most. It can condense the consciousness of the abyss on the magic tower, which will have a huge abyssal corrosion effect on the surrounding area. Among them, the magic towers famous for their mobility are divided into space-type magic towers, such as subspace magic towers, projection magic towers, etc., but these are too expensive to build, and they need at least a demigod or higher to build them. Manufacturing, we can't even think about it, but the floating magic tower, as a magic tower with both mobility and defense, the fastest flying speed can reach about [-] kilometers per hour. As the rank of the magician increases, it can also Carrying a magic tower for space portal teleportation, and the interior can also condense subspace, such a magic tower can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people, if we have a floating magic tower, this can be regarded as almost invincible below the holy gods place."

Many elves were speechless, and Gray, who was particularly sensitive to money, asked directly: "My God, how many spirit stones do you need to build a three-story floating magic tower?"

Hao said bluntly: "It's about 8000 million spirit stones, and at least a high-level magician must sacrifice part of his permanent spirit and magic power to enchant the magic tower with constant levitation and anti-gravity magic. , and at the same time, a large amount of extremely rare minerals with price and no market are needed. This price is priceless, so even in the elf empire, the number of floating magic towers with three floors and above is less than one hundred, basically all It is in the hands of the royal family, the principalities of various places, as well as the military and the Supreme Council, and there are not even some great nobles, magic families, and magic schools."

All the elves looked at Hao with a look that you can understand, and Hao didn't feel ashamed at all, he just said: "This is just one of our future options, and it doesn't have to be done by ourselves. Manufacturing, you know, we are now an adventure group, how could the adventure group stay in one place all the time? How could it be possible not to accept adventure missions? How could it be possible not to go on wild adventures?”

"It's decided, it's this town, Sulan City, an inconspicuous town on the border of the Plant Alliance." Hao pointed to a small circle on the map he drew.

Everyone looked over, and then tried to recall this town named Sulan City from their memories, but undoubtedly, no one had any memories. This is a very ordinary small town of the Plant Alliance, even the city It doesn't count, it's normal for them not to know.

Hao said frankly: "The reason why I chose this town is very simple. First of all, it is located at the border. No matter what happens, we can quickly leave the Plant Alliance and enter the wilderness. In this regard, we can choose There are many towns and cities in the country, which can only be regarded as one of the reasons for choosing it.”

"Another reason is that this city is on the border, and it is one of the major traffic routes into the Plant Alliance. Afterwards, going deep into the Plant Alliance, there are more than seven cities that need to pass through this town, where all religions and streams will converge. , is one of the advantages.”

"The third reason is that there are a lot of wilderness areas around this town, including two forests, a grassland, a hill, and distant mountains. The geography is suitable for hiding and fleeing. Can escape into complex terrain."

"The last reason is that there is a legend in this Sulan city. It is said that a spiritual magician was born in this Sulan city, and this is an extremely talented spiritual magician. He lived around the Sulan city. He conducted cruel life experiments underground, secretly using civilians of many races to conduct experiments, live experiments, thousands of people died for this, and in the end, all clues pointed to him, and even the Holy Throne was lowered He was held accountable, but he had no regrets. He even planned to arrest the clone of the Holy Throne for experimentation, and even almost let it succeed. The tower and all the treasures are hidden in a certain space under the ground. It is said that there are countless evil spirits, resentment and curses surrounded there, and there are guards of bound demons and devils summoned by this spiritual magician. No one has found the treasure. Those who found it could not return alive, and over time, no one would look for it anymore, but it is said that the magic tower of this spiritual magician is a floating five-story magic tower."

Hao stopped here, and the elves were full of disbelief, and Noldo said directly: "This is unbelievable, it is probably a rumor in the market, an extremely talented spiritual magician, and a step further is the Holy God Yes, although this step is extremely difficult, but after the Great War of Ten Thousand Clans and the arrival of the Two Emperors, this is almost the strongest combat power that the Alliance can use externally. He just wants to conduct biological experiments. It is estimated that the Alliance or the Saints Everyone will find many experimental products of hostile races for them, so why are they killed because of this? It is not logical."

The rest of the elves nodded, but Hao just smiled and didn't explain too much.

This story was found in a geographic magazine when he searched for various information about the alliances surrounding the Elven Empire. The magazine also said such words in a joking tone, but this magazine is more rigorous, and there are still I took some city diaries, books, old newspapers and so on from the old library of Sulan City. On it, Hao saw a photo. In the photo was a ruin. There was also a dilapidated diary. The contents of the diary were It was a poem. At that time, Hao had a lot of time, and he had nothing to do every day except study, so he deduced the content of the poem carefully, and combined with the geography of Sulan City and the surrounding environment, it might be The place where the Holy God came to war, and then he discovered that the content of this poem was actually a map, a map of the underground passage, and he kept this matter in mind at that time.

As for why this spiritual magician is treated like this, and why he keeps doing life experiments of various races, especially the races of the Plant Alliance, the reason is very simple...

This spiritual magician is a half-breed from the lower plane. He tried to change the life factor of his bloodline to completely solve the misery of the half-breed.

At the same time, in the tent of the business group outside the tree house, Yi Shanjiu, the head of the business group, was lying under the blanket. He subconsciously touched a strangely shaped necklace on his chest, and his eyes were a little dazed for a while.

"A magician? A high-ranking magician...?"
