Chapter 270 Controlling the size of the monster’s lair?
Follow the Deep Blue Team on a spacious "open carriage".
The "carriage" of this kind of carriage is different from the one with a closed or semi-closed carriage that Pettwain led in Ceylon.
The back half pulled by the horses is a large flat and strong wooden board, with four wheels embedded in the rotating shafts on both sides.
Not to mention comfortable soft seats in the car, there are not even wooden chairs or anything like that.
There isn't even a guard at the edge to prevent it from falling.
Everyone piled their luggage on top, and then people squatted or sat on the edge of the board.
This was almost the crudest "carriage" Pettwain had ever seen.
He didn't even think that this thing was a carriage. At most, it was just harnessing a horse and letting it drag a spliced cart.
But considering that this was a dark forest, Pettwain suddenly felt it was reasonable.
If there is a closed structure like a carriage, if a monster suddenly appears, especially one that spits bodily fluids or throws things, there will be no place to hide in the small space of the carriage.
Moreover, the line of sight is limited and it is not suitable for observing the surrounding situation.
On the contrary, this fully open carriage structure makes it easier for them to hear six directions and see all directions.
No matter which direction a monster tries to attack, you can respond immediately.
At present, this kind of carriage is really the most cost-effective and convenient means of transportation.
…
The carriage itself was not shock-absorbed, but the newly repaired road outside Xiwei Ling was of high quality and smooth with almost no bumps.
Pet Twain had to admit that the captain of the Deep Blue Team was telling the truth.
Because many of the teams he saw along the way were actually driving carriages along the road, heading deeper into the dark forest!
According to the plan, they would first arrive at the Chinar Territory, which is deeper into the forest, and rest there for ten minutes before continuing deeper into the forest.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, we have carefully selected the areas where monsters are eliminated, and there are only a few monster lairs nearby that are precisely controlled in size!"
On the way to their destination, the five members of the Deep Blue Team were not nervous at all, and the middle-aged captain still had time to introduce the situation to Pet Twain.
"This journey is very safe. Professionals hired by the territory officials patrol the area every day and eliminate low-level monsters wandering around."
"If you feel bored, you can just lie down and take a nap."
"Those monster lairs are connected to the dark crypts."
"We already know the pattern."
When he said this, the middle-aged captain paused and said vaguely: "...After the conditions in the dark cave are met, when the number of daily eliminations is exactly the same, it can be perfectly replenished. The size of the nest is not limited. It will expand and it will not shrink.”
"Our Deep Blue Team will prepare a minimum of 3 level 2 monsters for you every day. If you still have energy left after killing them, we can also attract a few more for you!"
"In short, please rest assured that today I guarantee that you will feel that the 2 gold employment fee is well worth it!"
"Remember to look for [Dark Blue], guaranteed quality and quantity, and considerate service!"
“Or you can recommend it to your friends who need it!”
Pet Twain slowly typed a question mark.
He found that these people in the church who were seeking knowledge began to say things that he did not understand.
What is a "monster lair whose scale is precisely controlled"?
What does "the conditions in the dark crypt have been met" mean?
What does "neither expand nor shrink" mean?
He knows the concept of monster lair.
Each monster lair will be connected to the vast, extremely complex crypt system that extends in all directions under the forest. The deepest point may even point directly to the void pollution zone at the core of the dark forest.
Monster lairs, especially medium to large ones.
As time goes by, these monster lairs are gradually expanding in size. Researchers speculate that new monsters have arrived on the surface from the caves, increasing the number of monsters in the lairs.
However, this process does not change linearly, and there are no clear rules that can be calculated. Monsters in the lair will also unconsciously leave the lair and wander further away.
It may remain small or medium-sized for a long period of time, and then suddenly explode to a larger size in a short period of time.
There will also be mercenary groups trying to destroy small-scale monster lairs for the rare aberration materials that may exist in them.
It's not about reducing the number, it's about annihilating them directly.
Because there is currently a characteristic that people have summarized after suffering several losses:
If the number of monsters in the nest is reduced to a certain extent, it is very likely that a retaliatory growth will occur and the scale will rapidly expand in a short period of time.
For medium and large scale, the number of monsters is measured in units of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Not to mention the mercenary group, both the King's Army and the Crusaders have to weigh their options.
Failure to clean it all at once will cause the nest to change from large-scale to "super-large", or even cause monsters to riot, which will be troublesome.
You might as well just walk around honestly and you can't afford to provoke him.
As a result, these people from the Seeking Church said that they could control the size of the monster's lair?
If you want the number of monsters inside to increase, you can increase it, and if you want to decrease it, you can decrease it?
Won’t it cause the growth of vengeful monsters?
Pet Twain was surprised: "How is it possible? How did you do it?"
The captain of the Deep Blue Team chuckled twice.
"Sorry, this is 'knowledge' that belongs exclusively to the members of the Seeking for Knowledge Church. If you want to know, would you like to consider converting to a new faith, or both?"
Pettwain fell silent.
This is a church that has been labeled as a heretic by the Glow God Religion, and he won't believe it even if they beat him to death.
He also hopes to inherit the noble title of Viscount Tostin in the future.
If he becomes a member of the heretical church, he won't even be able to return to the Kingdom of Leyak.
But he still found it hard to believe.
Can these guys really control the size of the monster's lair accurately?
……
The answer is: It really can!
It’s just that this matter goes back even further.
As early as when the three territories belonging to the Church of Seeking Knowledge were just beginning to be established.
While Hugo Seavey was busy building a territory and attracting adventurers from the kingdom, Peter Chinar, one of the three lords, was not idle either.
He is busy leading people to explore the dark crypt.
After all, whether it is building a territory or exploring a dark crypt, they are all tasks sent by the God of Knowledge.
Novin did not force believers to do anything first. At most, they were guided by rewards or failure penalties.
As for the dark crypt exploration that every believer has participated in at least once.
It’s become a lot easier now too.
As long as you pay destiny points and ask someone to take you in to "experience" it, you will meet Noven's mission requirements.
Novin did not stop the believers from exploiting loopholes.
Because just the number of believers entering the dark crypt increased.
Novin soon discovered:
Subtle changes were taking place in the dark crypt!
……
The fifth one is more likely to be later, allowing Guozi to eat rations.
