Chapter 269 Meet the goddess of the lake again and receive the reward! (6400)
Marita agreed to Cao Xing's request.
And Cao Xing once again thanked and praised her, which made Marita smile continuously on her face.
The two were affectionate again for a few minutes.
Then Marita reluctantly got up from Cao Xing.
And rearranged the clothes.
And Cao Xing also put on his equipment again.
"Then, Ms. Marita, I am going back. I look forward to seeing you again. I also hope that you can successfully resolve the curse on you."
The lady behind her nodded lightly.
Under Marita's gentle gaze, Cao Xing left here.
…
…
While on the road, Cao Xing also had a faint smile on his lips.
I didn’t expect that this trip to Annohe Village would yield so much.
Not only did she get a lot of seeds, Marita also gave him an extremely precious necklace.
At the same time, I also gained the favor of this extremely capable lady.
Marita is not only a member of the royal family, but also an archmage-level existence.
In terms of strength, he is even stronger than the Duke of the Undead, Paladin.
If he goes to Orchid Kingdom in the future, Marita can be of great help to him.
Of course, Cao Xing did not have that kind of thing with her because of her identity and strength.
Rather, he was simply moved by the elegant temperament of this lady.
And I heard that her husband passed away more than ten years ago.
Cao Xing knew that Marita had been lonely for a long time.
Shaking his head, he put these thoughts away and took a look at the properties of the necklace.
[Moon Crown Orb Necklace]
[Grade: Unknown]
[Wearing requirements: Level 40]
[Additional attributes: none]
[Attached special effects: Moon Crown residual power (contains a trace of the divine power of the Moon Crown Orb, all spell damage increased by 20%, cooling time reduced by 10%)]
(Note: In that war thousands of years ago, the Khan of the Blood Legion: Odo Shatterclaw, holding the legendary weapon-Hasu Xin, fought all the way to the Western Continent, and was invincible.
The war spread to the Orchid Kingdom, and the most powerful mage in the kingdom today held a battle with the Moon Staff - Aniais.
In that war, Hasuzin's blade shattered the Moon Crown Orb on the top of Aniais, and then transformed into 12 fragments, large and small.
Because of the passage of time, these fragments have been scattered in every corner of the continent. When you hold other fragments and approach them, you will feel something. )
(Moon Crown Orb fragment collection progress: 1/12...)
…
"Fuck, so scary? Just one fragment increases spell damage by 20%!"
"If it were a complete orb, how powerful would it be?"
Cao Xing was shocked.
And he felt more and more how precious this necklace was.
Let alone one [golden salmon], I am afraid that even ten of them may not be able to buy this kind of necklace.
Moreover, in addition to this necklace, she also promised to help Cao Xing find the person with royal blood.
This shows that Marita attaches great importance to Cao Xing.
Cao Xing thought to himself: "This woman is very kind to me. I will repay her if I have the opportunity in the future."
After thinking about it, he walked to the entrance of the village.
After the fishing competition ended, the number of people in Annohe Village was much less.
In addition, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and many people from other villages had to hurry back.
Cao Xing saw that at the entrance of the village, there were only Assam, Bronn, Liu Muxue, Renice and others, waiting respectfully there.
Behind them were more than a hundred goblin laborers with different expressions.
After seeing Cao Xing, Bron and others greeted him excitedly.
"Oh! Lord, you are back!"
Cao Xing nodded slightly and came to the side of everyone.
The group of goblin laborers all knelt down at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing frowned slightly, and then asked: "Who asked you to kneel?"
Among the goblins working hard, a slightly larger goblin stood up and said, "Back to Lord Lord, this is what the adults taught us when we were in the Giant Chamber of Commerce."
"Meeting the master must be like treating a god."
Cao Xing didn't say much, but waved his hand and said, "When you see me in the future, you don't need to kneel down, you just need to salute. Do you understand?"
The goblin peons below looked troubled.
"Lord...Lord...this..."
Cao Xing frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? You don't even listen to what I say?"
Sensing the unkindness in Cao Xing's tone, the goblin workers below seemed to have encountered something terrifying. They were so frightened that their whole bodies kept shaking, and some of them even entered a state of cowering.
Among them, the stronger goblin peon said: "Respected...respected Lord...we dare not disobey your order..."
"It's just that with other adults, you have to kneel."
"If those adults tell us to stand up, it means the goblins are going to get beaten."
"We prefer kneeling to standing, so at least we don't have to get beaten..."
"Yeah yeah……"
The goblins nearby also agreed.
Cao Xing also had a look of surprise in his eyes.
That's what it's like to be a slave. As an organization that specializes in slave trading, the Giant Chamber of Commerce is naturally not a kind person.
They have many means to make these slaves obedient.
These goblin laborers have been trained for a long time and must have suffered a lot. They have already been domesticated.
The displeasure in Cao Xing's heart disappeared, and he smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I won't punish you."
Bronn walked over and laughed loudly: "Little goblins, don't worry, no one in our territory will be beaten for this."
After saying that, he slapped the goblin hard worker on the back several times with his basin-sized palm, causing him to cough continuously.
After hearing this, the group of goblins understood that the lord in front of them was serious.
He wasn't trying to teach the goblin a lesson.
Immediately, all the goblin laborers said respectfully: "Thank you, my merciful lord, and may the God of the Crypt bless you..."
They all stood up from the ground.
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
At this time, the captain of the Ascalon warriors, Yaskin, also came over respectfully and handed a backpack to Cao Xing.
"Lord, this is the crown you gave me last time. It cost nearly 30,000 crowns to buy these slaves and establish relationships, and there is still 170,000 crowns in it."
"There is also a detailed purchase list inside, please take a look."
Cao Xing did not accept it immediately, but fell into thinking.
After a moment, he said directly: "Yaskin, I still have a task for you."
Yaskin said respectfully: "Lord, please give me your orders!"
Cao Xing said: "You continue to take this money to develop and explore other villages."
"If you encounter special circumstances like today again, please remember to contact me."
"It doesn't matter if there are no special circumstances. Just continue to buy some people back."
Yaskin is fairly reliable and tactful in his dealings with others. He is not a rigid person.
So it is very appropriate for him to do these things.
After hearing this, Yaskin immediately said respectfully: "Yes! Lord!"
"Then I will not return to the territory for the time being. I will continue to stay in Annuohe Village tonight, and then go to other villages tomorrow."
Cao Xing shook his head, "You don't have to go to a village, you can also go to some bigger places."
"There is a city about three hundred kilometers away from here called Melind City. You can take this money and go to Melind City to develop."
"Build connections there first. I may also take people to Melind City later. Your layout here will then be very important."
As the saying goes, it is easier to get things done if you have connections.
Melind City is the largest city in the Blizzard Snowfield. It will continue to develop in the future, and Cao Xing will most likely go to that city to take a look.
So sending Yaskin to go there in advance now can be regarded as an advance arrangement.
The soldier captain also understood the importance of this task and nodded solemnly: "I understand, Lord, I will do it right away!"
After saying that, he picked up the backpack in his hand and left here quickly.
Then, Cao Xing looked at the dozen villagers and the painter Edward.
The man who said he was targeted by the devil was looking at Cao Xing with gratitude.
It was this lord who did not dislike his strange symptoms and invited himself to join his territory.
"Now, you are welcome to join us. Let's build a prosperous territory together!"
After speaking, Cao Xing sent recruitment invitations to all the goblins on the field, including the newcomers.
The next moment, a system prompt appears.
[Recruitment successful: Goblin peon Grosh/Molosh/Amush...joined your territory, territory population +137...]
…
Cao Xing's population suddenly skyrocketed!
There was also a smile on his face.
very good!
This time we have harvested so many goblin laborers and villagers. We have enough staff in a short time!
In addition, a painter with advanced painting proficiency was brought back.
Not bad, not bad...
at the same time.
The moment these goblin laborers joined Cao Xing's forces, they all felt a life force coming into their bodies.
Even if they are only first-level creatures, their feelings are very obvious.
These goblins exclaimed: "O God of the Crypt, my body seems to be getting healthier!"
"That's right, Amush, some of the hidden illnesses I suffered from working before have actually begun to recover!"
"My chest doesn't hurt anymore! Oh my god, what happened? This is amazing!"
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood.
The reason why these goblin laborers can feel their vitality increasing is naturally because of the blessing of the Pale Tree.
This sacred tree can now increase the health of all territory members by 44%.
As soon as they join, they can feel this blessing, which is very abnormal!
What Cao Xing didn't expect was that the sudden increase in vitality could actually help them recover from the hidden diseases in their bodies.
Next to him, Bronn blew his mustache and said, "Little goblins, don't make a fuss. This is just one of the magical powers in our territory. When you make contributions in the future, you will feel even more magical powers!"
"You can even have the speed of the wind, the strength of a bear, and the armor of a turtle!"
What Bronn was talking about was Hilda's [Queen's Will], Liu Muxue's [Blessing of Courage] and [Sacred Shield].
Hearing this, the goblin laborers and the villagers on the field had shock in their eyes!
Because the blessing effect of the Pale Tree has exceeded their understanding.
As a result, the big man said that this was just the most common kind.
"Oh! This mighty giant, are you telling the truth?"
"Can we really have these powerful forces behind us?"
Bronn smiled and said, "Of course."
"Now, please pledge your allegiance to our lord!"
After hearing this, these goblin laborers were about to kneel down.
But they remembered Cao Xing's order just now, so they all bowed down.
"Great lord, we are willing to offer our loyalty to you!"
[Because you have shown great strength, the loyalty of goblin peon Grosh has been improved. Current loyalty: 67]
[Because you have shown great strength, the loyalty of the goblin peon Laurensh has been increased. Current loyalty: 65]
【Because of you...】
…
After more than a hundred reminders, the loyalty of these goblins and villagers has increased. All have loyalty levels above 60.
Including the painter Edward, the loyalty level has reached 65 points, which is still very good.
Cao Xing had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.
Everything is ready.
However, he did not take the people back to the territory immediately. Instead, he ordered: "Now start dividing the team. Some people will go back to the territory first, and some people will follow me to another place."
Liu Muxue had doubts in her beautiful eyes and said softly: "Axing, do we want to go somewhere else?"
"That's right."
Cao Xing smiled and said: "This time, we finally completed all the knight trial tasks with great difficulty."
"While it's still dark, you can rush to Luoxue Lake first, and then claim the complete legendary weapon as a reward."
Liu Muxue seemed to have thought about this, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
At the same time, a hint of excitement appeared on her pretty face!
She is also looking forward to this complete legendary weapon.
Then, Cao Xing continued: "Andrew, Bronn, Luen, you take our staff and Edward and return to the territory now."
"Sarah, Renes, Assam, you follow me to Falling Snow Lake now."
"Get started!"
On the field, everyone solemnly said: "I obey, Lord Lord!"
As soon as the words fell, they quickly divided into two waves.
All the goblin peons and newcomers followed the big guys like Bronn and Andrew.
Bronn blew his beard and said, "Little guys, remember to follow me."
"This is still a long way from the territory, so you have to hold on."
The goblin peons responded: "This strong giant, we will hold on."
"We goblins are the best at escaping, no, we are the best at running..."
Bronn smiled, and then led more than a hundred people to the snowy field outside.
After they all left.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue also sat on Dabai's back again.
"Dabai, take us to Luoxue Lake!"
"Moo——"
Dabai flicked his trunk, then took four hooves and ran towards Luoxue Lake.
Since the Mammoth broke through to the fourth level, coupled with the speed increase of the Black Mist Totem, the top speed has reached more than 180 kilometers per hour!
Given its huge size, it is really quite abnormal to be able to reach this speed!
The surrounding scene is moving backwards rapidly.
Next to him, Assam was riding a frost wolf, and his movements were not slow at all.
Although the Frostwolf Winter currently only has the strength of the third-level elite level, it is a creature that is good at running.
Coupled with the elite skill: [Snowfield Rush], it also has a fast movement speed.
As for the two agility professions Renes and Sarah, not to mention, in terms of instantaneous burst speed, they can easily surpass the mammoth.
"Boom! Boom!"
Baymax's running power is as amazing as ever.
The snow on the ground was trampled into deep pits, and the monsters along the way did not dare to approach.
Just when we were still halfway to Luoxue Lake.
Cao Xing's ears suddenly heard the sound of "sizzling" electricity.
After a moment, a clear sound came from the communication device on his ear.
"Lord Lord!"
Upon hearing this voice, Cao Xing roughly knew who it was.
"Eliza?"
"It's me, Lord Lord."
Before Cao Xing could speak, a resentful voice came from the other side and said, "Lord, why don't you care about Elisa at all?"
"I've been alone outside for almost two days. I'm cold and scared. You didn't even talk to Elisa. Boo hoo..."
Her tone sounded like a poor girl who had been abandoned.
Cao Xing felt speechless.
Elisa did not join Cao Xing's territory. When she was only at level 5 or 6, she already dared to run around outside.
It is common to stay away from home for several days and nights.
Now it is a level 30 boss-level creature, and he actually said that he was scared to death.
However, he still coaxed the little girl in front of him, after all, he still had to rely on her to find Yuncai Yak!
"Thank you for your hard work, Elisa. When you come back, I will not only give you a lot of milk, but also all the candies in the warehouse for you to choose from."
"Wow! Really? Lord Lord!"
"Of course."
Hearing this, Elisa's giggle sound came from the other side of the phone.
Cao Xing asked at this time: "How have you been outside recently? Didn't you encounter anything?"
"Hehehe...it's okay..."
"It's just...it's just that I miss the lord a little bit..."
Elisa said the latter sentence very quietly.
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Then, he asked: "Then do you want to come back first and then go out to look for cattle in two days?"
Elisa said quickly: "No, Elisa can't come back now."
"I have found traces of Yuncai Yak in a mountain range!"
"With a little more time, I can track the location of that herd of yaks!"
After Cao Xing heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Good guy, this little girl has found the traces of Yuncai Yak. No wonder she suddenly contacted him.
But she acted really fast this time and found it in just two days.
"Elisa, well done!"
Cao Xing's praise comes from the bottom of his heart.
The little girl opposite laughed sheepishly, "Hehehe... of course, Elisa is very powerful!"
"Lord, I won't tell you anymore, I will continue to track these yaks!"
Cao Xing replied: "Okay, you have to be careful and contact me immediately if you are in danger, okay?"
"I know, I know!"
"Lord, just wait for the good news from Elisa!"
The little girl hung up the call after saying that.
Cao Xing sat on the back of the mammoth with a smile on his face.
There are already traces of Yuncai Yak on Elisa's side.
Compared with the last time, Cao Xing's strength has undergone a qualitative change and he will definitely be able to catch more yaks.
In this way, the milk production in the territory will be greatly increased, and more sets of Yuncai Yak clothes can be made.
For Cao Xing, this is all money!
Hundreds of thousands of crowns can help him rapidly improve his strength.
And these are all based on the Yuncai Yak discovered by Elisa.
Speaking of which, Cao Xing knew that this little girl had a secret.
But she didn't want to say it, and Cao Xing wouldn't delve too much into it.
As long as this little girl has no ill intentions towards the territory and sincerely contributes to the territory, it will be fine.
After thinking about it, they had arrived at Luoxue Lake.
Ahead, a wide lake appeared, still covered with thick ice.
This is their third time coming to Luoxue Lake.
After the blizzard, the lake was empty, not even the regulars such as wolves and chocobos could be seen.
Including Chinon Dutra, whom I met on my first two visits, has disappeared.
Cao Xing said with emotion: "I don't know what the old man's current situation is, or whether he has brought his wife to the main city of Yongshuang."
"I hope everything goes well for him."
Cao Xing shook his head and cleared away the thoughts in his mind.
Now, he is going to receive his legendary weapon!
Soon, everyone arrived at the center of the lake.
However, the thick ice in front of him still made Cao Xing a little confused.
"Although the knight's trial is completed, how can I awaken the spirit of the Lake Lady and ask her to give me the Lake Lady's Sword?"
"Are you going to ask me to catch king salmon again?"
He doesn't have any extra leader-level Snow Demon Tongue in his hands!
As if he saw the problem Cao Xing was facing at this time, Assam raised the broken sword in his hand and said respectfully: "Lord, let me try it?"
"Let me see if I can wake up the goddess of the lake by releasing my breath."
"Okay, go ahead, Assam Knight."
Assam nodded respectfully.
Then, he held [Magdale] in his hand, stood it on his chest, and walked solemnly towards the center of the lake.
With every step he takes, an extremely majestic and powerful aura emanates from this knight!
After 99 steps forward.
Cao Xing suddenly felt a slight shaking on the ice beneath his feet.
Boom...
"Huh? Really woke me up!"
A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Luoxue Lake began to shake violently!
"Boom! Click!"
In front of them, spider web-like cracks appeared directly in the thick ice.
Like the earth cracking open, the ice splits of its own accord.
A large hole with a diameter of more than 100 meters soon appeared in the center of the lake!
"Crash..."
The cold lake water begins to surge!
Same as last time, the entire Luoxue Lake was erupting with intense divine light!
Especially the central area in front of them.
The divine light almost turned into substance, spurting out from the lake.
"Good guy, the movements this goddess makes every time she comes out are really amazing!"
The words fell.
A woman with loose green hair, naked, with a few pieces of water plants covering her private parts, slowly rose from the lake.
This is the goddess of the lake, Yulia.
Her misty pupils swept across the people on the ice, and then her eyes fell on Assam.
The purple lips parted slightly.
"This human lord, you are here..."
A sound like running water sounded.
Cao Xing nodded and said: "Yes, as agreed, we have completed all knight trials."
The goddess in front of her nodded lightly.
"I sensed it. You did complete the other two trials."
"Then...according to the previous agreement, I will give you the Sword of the Lake Lady - Yalondijit..."
Hearing this, everyone on the field had a look of anticipation in their eyes!
Finally! It’s time to get the first complete legendary weapon!
As the goddess of the lake stretched out her smooth arms, little drops of water dripped from her fingertips, and then she slowly lifted them up.
The calm surface of Luoxue Lake began to surge wildly!
"Wow...burst..."
The huge waves hit the sky and hit the thick ice, making a violent impact sound!
The lake keeps shaking!
It was as if something divine that suppressed this huge lake was about to appear!
At the same time.
Where the goddess of the lake is, the divine light is like a pillar!
