Lord of Hyranza

After Suldak shouted out this rune, he only felt that the blood in his body became more abundant. This was the first time he had implanted the keel into his body, and it was the first time he felt a little relaxed in his body, and he had been maintaining it continuously recently. The 'Divine Blessing Body' has a 'power halo' under its feet. Even so, its own carrying capacity is still very weak. In the past, when chanting 'Broken', it did not have such a strong gain effect.

This time the red dragon Iser roared out, and Suldak felt much more relaxed.

Now the scales on Suldak's arm have faded to only two pieces. After learning so many runes, there are still more than half of the unlearned magic crystals in the dragon egg.

Suldak has already begun to get in touch with the relevant knowledge of combining these mysterious runes. According to the image left by Mr. Johannes, the combined runes are the real rune language. These runes are combined in the Together, they often contain powerful forces.

From Suldak's point of view, the greatest wealth left by Mr. Johannes to Iser is not the gold coins and red crystals in the treasure chamber, but the dragon language runes contained in these magic crystals.

The red dragon Iser learned a rune and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Suldak expectantly. Suldak spread his hands to show that he had no more red crystals, but the red dragon still did not. leave.

Suldak walked up to it and touched its cheek. The red dragon Iser suddenly became very gentle, but it still didn't leave.

The huge head let out a low growl at Suldak, and then made a vague sound of "Iser" in ventriloquism. The sound of the red dragon made the treasure chamber reverberate, and Suldak was a little surprised. Looking at the red dragon, Iser opened his huge mouth to him again, and a series of vague voices came out from the depths of his throat:

'Iser! '

The voice was clearly a vague Imperial language, but I didn't expect it to be able to learn it. Although the pronunciation is still a little inaccurate, it has far exceeded Suldak's expectations.

In the process of continuous learning, Suldak found that he could not communicate with the red dragon Iser with these rune languages, so he wanted to teach the imperial language to Iser. The last attempt was obviously a failure. The red dragon Iser doesn't have the vocal range of a human, so he can't imitate Suldak's correct pronunciation. Just when Suldak was about to give up, he didn't expect the red dragon Iser to actually call out his name in front of him.

"Iser!"

The red dragon roared again, as if using its belly to pronounce.

Suldak stretched out his hand excitedly, pointed at the red dragon Iser and said loudly: "You are 'Iser'!"

Then he pointed to himself and shouted: "I am 'Suldak'!"

"Suldak!" Suldak pointed to himself and repeated.

"#%￥4..." was another very messy and weird pronunciation. The red dragon was a little dazed, and quickly retracted the huge head from the relief stone wall, and disappeared in an instant.

Aphrodite was on the magic airship, and Suldak didn't need to be summoned there, so he stayed in the treasure room to learn the language of runes. During this period, he also answered the sulfur mine to retrieve some red crystals. This time he almost brought Came back a whole magic fanny pack.

It has been three days since the red dragon Iser returned to the treasure chamber again, and this time it was still biting a giant bison with black and blue scales in its mouth. Iser bit its spine and bit its The body was dragged into the treasure chamber. This blue-scaled black-armoured bison was almost as big as a wild elephant. Its neck was almost broken, leaving a clear fatal wound, and its neck was dripping with blood.

The red dragon Iser threw the bison carcass on the stone steps of the platform and shouted at Suldak: "Suldak!"

Then he shook his head and shouted: "Iser..."

Suldak stepped forward and found that this bison was very unusual. The shiny leather armor was like scales, and it exuded a magical atmosphere, and it seemed that it had just died. Although it felt like it had never been seen before, But Suldak was able to call out its name - Brute Bull.

You don't need to look carefully to know that it is a monster, and its level will definitely not be lower than level three. Even the aura emanating from the body after death is somewhat suppressed by Suldak.

Ordinary second-level monsters can't give Suldak such a feeling.

"Is this for me?" Suldak asked, pointing to his nose.

The red dragon Iser nodded hurriedly as if he understood.

Suldak walked into the bull. It seemed that the bull had just died. The blood on his body hadn't been completely coagulated, and the aura belonging to the strong monster was still dissipating. Suldak Ke was worried that the magic power would dissipate too quickly, so he quickly pulled out the skinning knife and began to skin the big guy.

I was used to peeling salamander skins and hellhound skins, but now I saw such a huge high-level monster with leather as hard as iron, and the skinning knife in Suldak's hand couldn't cut through the hard skin at all.

In the end, Suldak still found a gap to separate the skin and meat from the broken neck. He didn't know how much such a piece of cowhide was worth. Measured according to the price of the crystallized salamander before, dozens of demons There are still crystal stones, but it is a pity that the fresh and tender beef is not the rare crystallized meat, which will inevitably greatly reduce the value.

It took Suldak a whole day to completely dismember the black bull, and keep the hide and flesh intact in the magic sealing box. As for the horned bull head that looked so precious, Sur Darke couldn't survive either, because the blessing effect of the 'Divine Blessed Body' was about to disappear. If he lost the 'Divine Blessed Body', his carrying capacity would not be able to bear the keel in his body.

So he didn't have any hesitation, he directly opened the sacrificial altar, summoned the statue of gods and demons, and sacrificed the bull's head.

Just as Suldak expected, the head of this third-level monster gave him the high-level blessing 'superior body'.

The main ability of 'Hegemony' is to remove all negative effects, but at the same time, it also has some physical and strength blessings for the body. Recently, his body has never been so relaxed, as if it is the mountain pressing on him Disappearing suddenly, you can breathe freely, and the ease and joy it brings to your body is indescribable.

He straightened up on the platform, and put all the remaining fresh meat into the magic sealing box.

The red dragon stayed by Suldak's side all the time, staring curiously at Suldak's handling of the bull's body, until he put all the fresh meat into the magic sealing box.

Although he was exhausted, Suldak only washed the blood stains on his hands with clean water, and before Iser left, he began to teach Iser the number 17 rune and the word 'eat' in the Grimm Empire language.

Iser still learned the runes very easily, but he couldn't speak the simple imperial language, which needed time to practice repeatedly.

When Suldak fainted in the treasure chamber last time, the red dragon Iser found some magic herbs in its plane. Because they were not handled properly in time, these magic herbs were already facing the collapse of their magic power, and many leaves were dead. They have withered one after another, and the magic herbs are almost extremely scarce in the Grimm Empire. Almost half of the magic pharmacy stores have closed down, and the remaining half of the magic pharmacy stores that have not closed down have almost added other products to the shops.

Suldak also didn't know the plane where the red dragon Yiser lived, and how many magic herbs there were. He was going to ask Yiser seriously, and if he could collect them, he should collect as many as possible. No amount is too much.

However, it is still a bit difficult to communicate with Iser now, and we have to wait for it to learn more Imperial language to communicate normally...

Chapter 645 Purchase of Armor

After learning the new runes and the somewhat sluggish Imperial language, the red dragon Iser withdrew from the relief stone wall without looking back, and slipped out to have fun.

Standing in front of the relief stone wall, Suldak tapped the stone wall with his hand, feeling cold and hard to the touch, a layer of faint mana fluctuations on the relief stone wall, blocking the infiltration of his spiritual perception, as expected In that way, it is impossible to enter the plane where the red dragon Iser lives.

He guessed that some kind of magic barrier was imprisoned on the portal. Since the red dragon Iser was involved, it was probably left by Master Johannes. The magic power on this portal has not weakened for hundreds of years. See The core center should be a very powerful magic circle.

He was very curious about the back of the relief stone wall, but he thought that it should be the place where Iser had lived all the time. If there were no accidents, there should be a small plane over there. He wanted to go in and have a look, but he tried several methods They couldn't even pass through this stone wall, so they could only calm down the curiosity in their hearts, study those runes with great concentration, and hoped that they could learn the real dragon language as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Suldak has stayed in the treasure room to concentrate on learning the language of runes. His learning speed has increased recently, probably because he is familiar with the way of writing and drawing those runes. He has learned the 20th rune in just a few days. Wen'lam', the learning process is also very smooth.

According to Lance, the magic spells that the magicians recite are actually a series of magic symbols derived from the ancient Elvish language. To read and write Elven language, as long as one has learned some simple ancient Elvish language, one can learn some of the simplest basic magic.

Suldak didn't know if those ancient elf languages ​​would have magic power fluctuations and short-term magic buffs when they were successfully drawn, but the rune languages ​​he had learned so far had very obvious effects, and each rune had a very Unique magic effect, short but effective.

The mental strength has basically recovered, but the sea of ​​consciousness in the body has undergone great changes. The double-faced four-armed demon statue that was originally floating in the endless void now occupies almost the entire space of the sea of ​​consciousness.

He could feel that the statue was as huge as an endless void, so huge that the upper body of the Demon God Statue contained the entire sea of ​​stars, while the lower body was only a dark star that kept devouring all matter.

As the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness slowly recovered, those lit nodes lit up again, filled with majestic sacred aura.

Since being colonized into the keel, although Suldak has been subjected to overload due to insufficient carrying capacity, his body has also become much stronger under such tremendous pressure, and his strength and physical strength have grown a lot every day , Unfortunately, there is no way to wear the 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure, so the combat effectiveness is much worse than before.

Now Suldak's body has almost completely fused with that dragon bone. After absorbing body nutrients and becoming a part of Suldak's body, the dragon blood in Suldak's body is further strengthened, so his physique is also invisible. The middle gradually strengthened, and the burden on him caused by the keel was also gradually reduced.

After entering the eighteenth level, knights basically have to prepare for breaking through the second rank. Although the fighters at the peak of the first rank break through the shackles, there are very few people who can become the second rank strong, but Suldak Or do some preparations for this.

If a rank-one knight wants to become a rank-two strongman, he needs to comprehend the knight's holy seal, and there needs to be a constant source of power in his body.

For magicians, the source of power of the so-called second-rank powerhouses is the contract partner they signed - the elementalist.This kind of contract partner can allow magicians to use the contract partner-the elementalist as a medium and bridge when casting large-scale magic, to draw a lot of mana from the surrounding space and cast powerful fourth-level group magic.

The source of power for fighters comes from themselves. First of all, let the three aspects of physical strength, speed, and physique reach the peak through exercise, and through meditation, let yourself be able to see clearly inside, and gather a kind of non-attribute Qi in the body. In the body, it circulates continuously in the body, forming a source of power that is completely different from that of a magician. Only in this way can one have the opportunity to obtain the source of power.

Suldak is currently standing at the nineteenth level, and he already has the conditions to find his own source of power and the seal of the knight. However, Suldak's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness is quite special, and he doesn't know when he will be able to comprehend it... …

……

In winter in Osorno County, Bena Province, the vast land is covered with white snow, and the endless mountains are also dyed white.

Although the forest roads extending in all directions in the mountains and forests have been cleaned up in time, the number of convoys still decreases sharply in winter. Constantinople is located in the center of Osorno County, so it can be regarded as the transfer and distribution center of materials in the Tarapakan area. The city was built on a huge red rock. The most difficult thing in the city was to dig the basement and the well. There was a lake under Constantinople.

When winter comes, the lake is covered with snow, and there are some workshops along the lake, not only the largest fire scale bomb manufacturing workshop in Bena City, but also the largest blacksmith workshop in Bena Province. There are several logistics cities that specialize in the production of military supplies. With the frequent outbreaks of plane wars, orders from Constantinople are pouring in like snowflakes, and a large amount of supplies are shipped out from here every month.

It took nine days to finally arrive in Constantinople, and Suldak took Aphrodite off the magic airship.

As the land route was blocked by heavy snow, the airport pier in Constantinople seemed extremely busy. When Suldak stepped down from the tower of the airport, he also saw the magic airship fully loaded with cargo open the floating device and quickly rise to a high altitude. .

When he came to Constantinople for the second time, Suldak had a deeper understanding of this city. Compared with the comfort and tranquility of Hailansa City, this city is more like a giant war beast that is fully launched , the sky over the industrial area here is shrouded in layers of smoke. Even in winter, people's lives in the city are still extremely busy, and even the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry.

The mage's tower in the distance and the chimneys in the workshop area are far away in this city. To the north of the city is the Owen family castle with a history of hundreds of years.

Suldak did not see the Temple of Liberty in the city. It can be said that the entire Constantinople is based around the Owen family castle, spreading from Chiyan to the surrounding circles. The center of the family's territory, after hundreds of years of development, formed a small city with a population of less than 50.

Most of the towns here are directly related to the Owen family. Unlike the Christie family in Hailansa City, the Owen family has the absolute right to speak in Constantinople. The city’s parliament and the House of Representatives are more meaningless. decoration.

First, I found a hotel near the workshop area in the city to live in. Aphrodite was still very interested in such a small city where she could breathe fresh air freely in the city.

This is different from Bena City, where you can see adventure groups, mercenary groups, and demon hunters everywhere, and you can also see some magicians. Aphrodite must be careful to avoid the sight of these people, so in Beinar She can hardly go anywhere in Nashville.

Constantinople is similar to the city of Helansa, so there are not many professional witchers and magicians in the city, so Aphrodite has much more room to move than in the city of Bena.

Suldak gave some tips to the hotel waiter, and asked him which blacksmith workshop in the city could make the best armor?

The hotel waiter replied without thinking: All the better blacksmith workshops in the city are controlled by the Owen family. As long as you see the blacksmith workshop with the Owen family emblem on the plaque, you can basically produce high-quality ironware. The only difference is that most of the blacksmith workshops here are controlled by the Owen family, so the division of labor is very clear. If you want to buy a complete set of armor, it is far more convenient to go to the blacksmith workshop than the Owen trading firm.

It was not too late, and Suldak was not too hungry, so he and Aphrodite walked out of the hotel and walked into the workshop area.

As the hotel waiter said, the ironware made by the blacksmith workshop here is very single, but because each workshop processes a large number of the same type of ironware, these ironware are forged very well. The workshops all have some very convenient special molds. Suldak went to several blacksmith workshops. When the workshop owners heard that Suldak wanted to buy some armor parts, they all expressed their desire to buy a complete set of armor. The trading house is more convenient.

There was no other way. After wandering around the workshop area for a long time, Suldak, who had nothing to gain, could only go back to the central street of the city, where he looked for a trading house with the emblem of the Owen family.

Central Avenue is near the first intersection of the South City Gate. A large trading house straddles this street to form a huge arch. This is a four-story building with a length of 200 meters from east to west. I also noticed this place when I came to Constantinople, but I didn't expect it to be the trading house of the Owen family.

Opposite the business is a square. There are many magical caravans parked in the square, and the entrance of the business is also very lively. Many merchants come out of the business with a lot of goods, and put the goods into the magic caravan on the street, and then rush to the store. He left Constantinople through the south gate in a magic caravan full of goods.

This trading firm looks like a material transfer station, and the business is very hot.

Boxes of goods were loaded onto trucks, counted, checked, and finally drove away in a carriage. A set of procedures was carried out in an orderly manner.

Suldak and Aphrodite looked at each other. Such a large-scale trading firm is rare even in Bena City. The two walked into the trading firm with the flow of people, and met an employee of the firm head-on , Seeing the noble emblem on Suldak's chest, he immediately became very respectful and said: "My lord baron, what do you need? Our business has a wide variety of goods, so it is divided into several areas. Here are mainly Cotton, linen and wool are sold, as well as some silk and semi-finished clothing, and wool and leather are also here..."

"I want to see a complete set of metal armor!" Suerdak interrupted the introduction of the staff of the firm, and took a look inside the firm.

Countless pieces of cloth almost filled the shelves, and the merchants in front of the counter were also selecting various kinds of fabrics. Those shop assistants moved out bundles of fabrics from the shelves, and then piled them on the counter.

"Armor used by infantry or cavalry?" the employee of the firm asked.

Marquis Luther suggested that Suldak form a more mobile cavalry battalion. Although the investment is a bit larger, but it can gain more military exploits during the war, Suldak has already considered it and did not hesitate. Said: "Cavalry."

The employee of the firm hurriedly took Suerdak through the cloth and living supplies area, and came to the goods yard that looked like a large warehouse. There were dozens of metal armors here, and all the armors were arranged very neatly. There was no such kind of wooden armor here. At the counter, there are many other buyers in this large warehouse. The staff of the firm stood in front of a row of half-body armor made of fine steel and introduced:

"We have a complete set of ordinary half body armor. This kind of half body armor is the best choice for junior cavalry. Although it does not have armor skirts and leggings, when choosing armor for war horses, you can choose the kind of armor with leggings , This complete set of half body armor has average defensive power, and it needs to be carefully maintained with oil, otherwise it will rust soon, and each set of armor needs three gold and fifteen silver."

The employees of the commercial bank saw that Suldak was not interested, and knew that the baron in front of him didn't like this kind of low-level armor. It can effectively prevent the armor from corroding and rusting when fighting in wet and rainy weather. This is the first choice for the formation of the Guards. Cavalry wearing this silver-plated armor can almost be used as a guard of honor."

"Is there any better one? What I need is the full-face armor worn by the guard battalion knights." Surdak stood in the warehouse, looking around, he had already seen those complete sets of full-face armor , It looks very similar to the standard armor of the guard battalion.

The employees of the firm hurriedly took Surdak to that side, and said as they walked: "There is a full-coverage heavy armor over there. This kind of armor is commonly known as iron cans. There are very strict requirements for horses and war horses, and cavalry with insufficient strength will soon be overwhelmed by such heavy armor."

After walking in, Suldak discovered that these full-coverage armors were just like what the employees of the trading company said. These full-coverage armors were a bit rough, and they were placed on the ground, more like some sculptures.

"Is there any better one?" Suldak said after pondering for a while, he didn't want to buy back some useless tin cans.

"Of course! Please follow me." The staff of the firm immediately led Surdak to the other side of the warehouse.

Chapter 646 The Night of Constantinople

There is plenty of light in the warehouse, and a neat row of skylights is opened in the center of the dome, making the warehouse not look stuffy.

It's just that there is no heating facility in the warehouse, and Constantinople is still relatively cold in winter. Although there is no cold wind in the warehouse, the dripping water turns into ice.

The whole warehouse was almost filled with all kinds of armor. Surdak was brought to the northernmost area by the employee of the firm. The full-cover armor displayed here seemed to be relatively sophisticated, even with a thin layer on the surface. The black iron plating made the entire set of full armor look black and shiny. Surdak walked to the side and picked up a helmet with a protective face shield from a set of armor.

This set of full-coverage armor is not much different from the standard armor issued by the knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion, but the details of the seams and riveting of the armor parts are more refined. The knuckles were tapped on the helmet, and the sound was a bit dull. , excellent workmanship.

The employees of the firm stood aside and introduced to Suldak: "This full-coverage armor is the best standard cavalry armor we make here."

Suldak looked at it, and felt that it looked much better than the previous armors, so he asked the employees of the firm: "What is the price of this full-coverage armor?"

The staff of the firm pointed to a polished copper sign in front, and said to Suldak: "This kind of fine full-cover armor with black iron plating costs [-] gold each, and our firm will be responsible for it." For subsequent maintenance and repairs, if you need more sets, I can apply for a certain degree of discount from the manager."

Suldak had discussed this type of full-face armor with Gwendolyn in the guard camp before, so he knew the market price of this type of armor. The full-cover armor here is also coated with black iron metal plating, which looks more upscale than the standard armor of the Hailansa Guard Battalion.

"I'm going to buy five hundred sets of full-coverage armor," Suldak said.

Although this kind of armor can also be bought in Hailansa City, most of the trading houses there also place orders in Constantinople.

The employees of the firm didn't expect Suldak to say this, and they were stunned for a while: "Master Baron, please wait a moment, I will go to our manager of the firm, and our manager will communicate with you directly for large transactions!"

As he spoke, he turned around and quickly walked towards the front hall.

There are some other buyers in this warehouse, but they are all negotiating with the employees of the firm, some have already selected the armor they need, and some employees have started to install the cheap armor on the flatbed trailer.

It didn't take long for the manager of the firm to rush over, and he asked Surdak tactfully: "Listen to my clerk, do you want to buy five hundred sets of full-coverage armor of the exquisite level?"

"That's right, I do need these fine armors, the number is about five hundred sets." Suldak said.

The manager of the firm took out a set of full armor, skillfully disassembled it into pieces, placed them neatly on a wooden table, and began to introduce to Suldak seriously: "The inner layer of this armor is made of fine It is made of steel, only coated with a layer of magic black iron dye to make it look like it is made of black iron, but it has no other effect except to prevent rust. After each battle, the coating that comes off It needs to be repaired in time, after all, this is an excellent full-coverage armor."

There is no magic metal and no magic pattern, so this full-coverage armor does not have any magic attributes except for a layer of protection for the cavalry.

Such a set of full-cover armor can be bought here in Constantinople, and a set needs [-] gold.

(The income of ordinary civilian families needs to be accumulated for at least two years before it is possible to afford such a set of sophisticated armor)

Seeing that Suldak hesitated, the manager of the firm quickly introduced: "The guard battalions in many cities in the northern part of Bena Province purchase this kind of full-coverage armor. The more advanced full-coverage armor contains some magical metals. Those armors We haven’t mass-produced Constantinople yet, and the handcrafted armor in the workshop is at least five times more expensive than the current standard armor.”

"If you really plan to buy [-] sets at once, then you will become a major customer of our firm, and you can get some discounts and discounts, which can reduce the cost by about one-tenth. This is also my maximum authority." The manager of the firm finally said After saying a word, he stopped the topic and gave Suldak some time to think.

"...Okay, prepare five hundred sets for me. I need some other supplies besides this full-face armor!" Suldak finally made up his mind, and said to the manager of the firm that the White Elephant Firm started After Hailansa City disappeared silently, there is no such large comprehensive trading firm in the market of Hailansa City.

"What else do you need?" The manager of the firm asked curiously.

In addition to [-] sets of full-coverage armor, Suldak also bought a complete set of standard saddles, marching tents, iron pots and other supplies from the trading firm in Constantinople, all of which are necessary for a private army. For supplies, Suldak even prepared a receipt for this. After asking the manager of the trading firm, he found that the trading firm had almost everything in it, but the price was indeed much cheaper than that of Hailanza.
