Chapter 395 Level 7 Magic Core
Thank you very much for qq reading dad [Qiu, Shang]'s 588 reward!
…
I have cursed and punished, and I have to face practical problems next.
Since Denise and Eric are here, there is no need to continue to conceal their whereabouts. Just go back with the main force.
On the contrary, the eagle army dispersed and lurked as merchants must not gather together to set off together.
In theory, it’s okay to go on with one order, but there is still a lot of trouble.
After the plan was decided, Denise and Mansenie were acting together.
Because there are only two people, you don’t have to spend too much time camping, you can get somewhere to settle down, and you can also walk some paths and shortcuts that are not suitable for large-scale marching. So in less than 3 months, I arrived in Mangtaien.
The situation on Eric's side is similar.
But the Eagle Army, which was planned to "sneak" to the royal capital, is different.
Although it is scattered, a group of people requires at least one hundred people. People eat and chew, and try not to see the flaws, so they cannot get faster.
The vast majority of them are not yet out of the province of Shanplons next door.
There is no choice but to let Lei Wen personally order them to tell them that the news of their successful promotion to Earl is true and that they will return in the same way as they were.
"Ah..."
After writing an order, Raven couldn't help but sigh and gave Denise a glance.
The Eagle Army came out this time, after all, for the sake of the head of the family Lei Wen.
During this period, of course, they cannot afford to pay for food, drink, accommodation and accommodation. Lei Wen is equivalent to paying paid travel for about 8 months by the 1st Legion of the Eagle Army.
According to the calculations, it would cost at least 30,000 gold coins.
It hurts!
Is it easy to make some money?
Denise whispered to comfort her: "Thinking about the benefits...it can be considered a special marching training... right?"
Levin rolled his eyes.
However, this slightly awkward atmosphere did not last long. Soon, the Hainholtz family, who ruled the province of Mangtai, sent an invitation to invite Lei Wen to visit.
It will take several days to fill up the supplies, but Lei Wen did not refuse.
Last time, Lei Wen was in a hurry to travel and was not used to the hygiene habits of big cities in this era, so he did not enter the city.
This time I really appreciate the characteristics of Xiongchuan City.
Mangtaien's province has many mountains, few plains and underdeveloped agriculture, which has developed a very strong commercial tradition. The capital of Xiongchuan City fully reflects this feature.
Since entering the city, you can basically not see pure houses, but any house along the street has to sell something.
Clay pots, clay pots, buckets; linen clothes, pants, sacks; black bread, rotten soup, black and dried bacon...
All common and commonly used daily necessities can be found.
The small vendors who come into the city will bargain with all kinds of swear words and use the goods they carry to bargain.
Change a large bundle of firewood into a pottery jar, a few handfuls of dried mushrooms into a bread, or throw away two pieces of hare skin, one as a reward, and the other torn pants that make people have opened their crotch.
The more you go in, the more prosperous the streets will be. Not only will the industry be more complete, but the quality and price will also rise.
In addition to the signs hanging, the merchants here can be said to do everything they can to attract customers.
The door of the blacksmith shop is open, with horseshoes and various farm tools hanging at the door, and weapons are placed rows of on the shelves by the wall.
Walking through outside, you can hear the sound of ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding .
The tailor shop is hung with various colors of fabrics, like a rainbow, and there are dummies of wood texture at the door as models, wearing clothes to show them in front of people.
When running a restaurant, the big pot is directly on the street. The long stones are both stoves and tables. The boiling soup inside the pot is filled with fragrance, making the sausages hanging on it become more rosy and charming.
Lei Wen couldn't help but sigh: "Xiongchuan City, you really carve business into your bones."
If there weren't an invitation next, Lei Wen would have wanted to sit down and eat something.
The castle of the Hainholtz family is called "Hydden Peak Castle", which is located on a lonely peak with a raised flat ground.
This lonely peak has 3 hills in total, and the castle is built on these 3 hills. Each one is connected by towering trails, and there is only one passage to the foot of the mountain.
No wonder it is called Xianfeng Castle.
Even from Lei Wen's current perspective, it is almost impossible to fight such a castle. He can only be surrounded and wait until the people inside are out of ammunition and food and surrender voluntarily.
Sir "Dane", the son of Earl Gottfried, the initiator of the invitation, was waiting for the arrival of Reven at the door.
"Sir Earl." Dane took off his hat and saluted.
He is nearly 50 years old, but he is well maintained. Although his behavior shows a bit of worldly greasiness, it does not make people feel annoying.
Reven replied with an equal attitude: "I heard that Duke Gotfried valued Sir Dane the most. Today, Sir Dane actually went out to greet him. It's really shameful."
"I have no other talent, I just help my father take care of the fiefdom." Dane smiled and said, "Of course, a family guard like me, I will leave a good impression on you."
"I have been rude to speak here. I have prepared a sumptuous banquet. Please follow me."
This attitude was too enthusiastic, which made Reven feel a little wary.
The so-called "no profit" cannot get up early. The imperial nobles have seen too much, and the Hainholtz family is a famous business heirloom. What does this person like about him?
Or is it that the old-school aristocrats want to have any plans for themselves?
But once he arrived at the main castle of Xianfeng Castle, Lei Wen knew that he was thinking too much.
Of course, there would be no one guest at the aristocratic banquet. The nearby barons, viscounts, and the landless nobles in the city were basically all here, and Dane would inevitably recommend it to Lei Wen.
Dane did not have the airs of a member of the Duke's family at all. When introducing these people, he brags about them more than the other.
In just over a dozen minutes of recommendation, Lei Wen met with 4 "business geniuses", 7 "art masters", 8 "heroic knights", and about 10 outstanding talents who can be called the "future hope" of the empire.
Lei Wen endured the laughter and worked so hard, and at the same time he was a little curious about how this Dane developed this personality?
Fortunately, the banquet was not as flashy as Dane, who likes to brag. "Sir Earl, your eagle's specialty Angel Tears are now the most famous wine in the empire. You must have been used to drinking it; today, I specially prepared for you the 'Changchun Sweet Spring', known as the angel's tears."
Changchun Sweet Spring is produced in the Eastwood Province in the southern part of the empire. Before the angel's tears appeared, it can be said to be the most famous and popular wine in the entire empire.
Dal picked up the bottle with his own hands and poured a glass for Raven.
It's not red wine, but white wine.
The texture is clear and light yellow with some grape juice texture.
Levin raised his glass, took a sip, and before he could put it down, he listened to Dane: "Sir Earl, since you can create a famous wine like Angel Tears, you must have profound attainments in wine. I wonder what the quality of this "Sweet Spring Spring" looks like?"
Levin's requirement for wine is to be "not astringent". How can he know how to taste wine!
The subsequent improvements to Angel Tears were all done by Poirot, the former chef.
But Lei Wen did not have any stage fright, slowly put down the cup and said lightly:
"It's okay."
Anyway, as long as you have a good tone, who can tell? "Okay!" Dane slapped: "I knew Earl Leiwen had a high taste, and I felt that the sweet spring spring was too light."
"But you are here in the right place. Today you will definitely be able to taste the wine that will satisfy you!"
As he said, Dane waved his hand and more than a dozen kinds of fine wines were brought up.
To talk about Dane, it really fits Lei Wen's stereotype of aristocratic children. He is well-known to each type of wine and has a complete collection.
In addition to Changchun sweet spring, there are also "Red Maple Dew" from Insa, "Frost Pearl" from Feton, "Popular Wine" secretly made by the Church of Light, and even "Qiancui" from the orcs.
In addition to high-end famous wines, there are also various "good things" that I found from some corner.
This is a saying that continues the style of Keynes's III period, that is, the winemaking formula left by the Lord of Light when he was walking on the world, and it is also said that it is a wine fermented with shellfish in the deep sea.
Laiwen's scalp became numb when he heard it.
The finished products also show various suspicious flavors and colors.
For a moment, Lei Wen couldn't help but sigh how wise the law prohibiting private brewing was.
These things should be poured into buckets!
Therefore, for these wines with suspicious appearance and more suspicious origin, Raven just smeared his lips and then put them down. He listened to Dane to talk about how much energy he spent to get these "rare wines".
I don’t know if it was because I drank too much from different types of wine, but Lei Wen actually felt a little bit excited after being drunk.
Looking at Dane again, he was already drunk, his face flushed, and his tongue began to tie his knots: "Count Lei Wen, you have been in the King's Capital for so long, what do you think of the King's Capital?" Lei Wen didn't say anything. He knew that people who drink to this point did not need to speak, and they could continue chatting with him.
Sure enough, Dane continued, "The King's Capital is good! It's better than our Xiongchuan City, and the Royal High Court is better than the Qianfeng Castle. I don't know where it goes."
"But!"
"Don't look, there are many treasures and beauties in the King's Capital, and there are some things to be made... The selection of "Miss Wangdu". It is said that the champion's value was 2,000 gold coins in one night. Tsk, the people in the King's Capital really have money and nowhere to spend it."
"But, the King's Capital is so good that it's one thing that is not my beloved baby!"
At this point, Dane squeezed his eyes at Lei Wen:
"Count Lei Wen, do you want to go with me?"
"This is not suitable..." Lei Wen wanted to refuse politely.
Dane's wife is over 50 years old, so it is definitely not suitable to say that she is a baby; from his tone, he probably has a lover outside.
But lovers share this kind of thing, which may be common for the imperial nobles, but for Lei Wen, it is a bit too advanced. "What's wrong with it? Let's go!" As he said that, without waiting for Lei Wen to refuse, he stood up first and pulled Lei Wen out.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Lei Wen had no choice but to get up and follow.
But as he walked, Lei Wen felt something was wrong - why is it getting more and more advanced.
The castles of the nobles in the world are of various types, but the structure is basically the same. The higher the status, the higher the living.
Dane was stuffing his lover into his father's room?
There is no such thing as the Oedipus complex!
Fortunately, just as I was about to reach the top floor, Dane took Lei Wen and turned around and put the ring on his index finger on the wall.
Amid the rumbling sound, a slightly cold air filled the air, and a dark secret room appeared in front of me.
The magic light lit up, and Dane took out a dagger, pierced his fingertips, and dripped on a transparent bead at the door of the secret room.
With a gushing sound, the blood evaporated, and the beads emitted bright light. The darkness on the four walls receded, and various magic patterns returned to peace after shining, with the end showing a metal box that was one person tall.
Lei Wen's mouth twitched.
A moment just passed, Lei Wen saw the basic configuration of at least three level 5 magics, including the "Death Finger" that made people scared.
What exactly is there? Succubus?
Dane staggered in, came to the front of the metal box, took off the necklace from his neck, and embedded the upper hanger into the surface groove.
Click, clang, clang...
Amid the sound of metal, the box opened outwards, and a green light burst out from it, reflecting on the four walls, placing the entire room with a thick layer of green.
A trace of invisible pressure swept away, causing Lei Wen's hair to tremble slightly.
Having inside, the things in the box appeared in front of Lei Wen.
It was a green crystal the size of a peach pit, with sharp sides and wide in the middle, and densely covered with root-like marks. The green life force was so strong that it was about to overflow!
Take a shriveled soybean out of his pocket, and Dane put it in front of the crystal. Almost instantly, the tomatoes began to sprout, and the buds turned from white to green, and grew branches and stems and leaves. The next moment, the pods became apart.
Dane smiled slightly, "How about it, this is my collection, the magic core of the 7th level life attribute!"
Levin nodded and exclaimed, "It's indeed exquisite."
Although it was a compliment, it seemed a little cold in Dane's ears, so he frowned and said, "Sir, Count, don't seem to be very interested?"
"No, no." Leiwen smiled, "But, although this magic core is exquisite, it is just close to the hinterland of the empire and there are too few monsters. In our Nord Province, close to the bloody highland, things like magic core are not that rare."
As soon as these words came out, Dane also felt a little boring, so he sealed the secret room and pulled Leiwen to continue drinking.
But when he left, Lei Wen couldn't bear to leave this secret room with his eyes.
Leiwen really didn't expect that Dane, who likes to brag, could really bring out such a treasure!
It is not just a level 7 magic core.
The higher the level of the monster, the larger the size, and the larger the magic core condensed.
For example, the giant dragons, their magic cores - commonly known as "dragon crystal", must be at least half a human tall.
The same should have been done with the 7th-level magic core.
The reason why this magic core is small is because it comes from the legendary monster "Hydra Lizard". This monster is not only huge in size, toxic and ferocious, but also has extremely terrifying regeneration ability.
It has more magic cores, so each one will be much smaller in size.
But it does not mean that there is less energy contained in it.
If this high-level magic core is used for enchanting, it will be twice the result with half the effort and can even restore some of the talents of the Hydra Lizard during its lifetime.
If it is used on yourself, the Eye of Truth will crush and extract the energy in it, Lei Wen's magic will make great progress and at least save 3 years of meditation.
Be cold now, you can bargain after that!
As a result, Lei Wen miscalculated.
In the second half of the banquet, Lei Wen secretly mentioned it, originally trying to let Dane go with the alcohol, but he didn't even get along.
A few days later, Lei Wen met with Dane with various reasons, openly and secretly thinking about getting the magic core, and even offered a price of 300,000 gold coins, but Dane refused to take action no matter what.
And in just a few days, Raven heard rumors outside that Sir Dane had a treasure, and that Count Raven was chasing him.
This made Lei Wen feel vaguely that he was probably hit by Dane's plan and made him treat it as a live advertisement!
So after the supply was in place, Lei Wen decisively gave up and set off for the Shanplons Province.
Dane was also very proud after Lei Wen left.
Of course he released the wind, because six months later, the Hainholtz family will hold an auction in the capital.
This magic core is the finale of the treasure.
So grandly invited Lei Wen and brought Lei Wen to the magic core to build momentum for this auction!
With the label "Earl Lei Wen wants but cannot get it", the value of this magic core can be increased by at least two or three times!
Another 10 days have passed.
It was time for the magic core to be escorted to the capital.
Dane came to the secret room in person and used his own blood to unlock the protective measures in the secret room. "Sir, do you need to do this?" The servant behind him frowned and said, "Every time you open it, do you have to hurt yourself?"
"What do you know, this is my life!" Dane walked to the metal box: "Do you know how much the magic core of this Hydra Lizard can be sold?"
"At least, at least 800,000 gold coins, if you operate properly, it is not impossible to break through one million!"
"This is the annual income of our Hainholtz family...
Where has it gone! ? "
A scream of a terrifying sound came into the clouds!
Because in the box, the place where the magic core should have been placed was empty and there was nothing.
"No, me, my magic core? Where have you gone! ? "
Dane was almost crazy, turning his head with a twisted expression like a beast, but everyone's expression was confused and frightened.
"Who did it, who did it..."
Mercenary Guild?
They don't have the courage!
Robber Guild? Ha, those mice in the gutter couldn't climb up at all!
Who else, and...
Dane was stunned and a name came to his mind.
Leiwen.
Yes, it's him, only him!
Only he, a level 4 magician, could he hide this magic core from everyone's eyes.
He was the only one who had the courage to steal things from the eight major dukes of the Empire.
"Fxckyou! Motherfxker!!Sonofbeach!!"
"Damn Raven, you scum, villain, idiot!!!"
"Flies in the sewer, male dog with human faces, little bees who can only play with women..."
The guards on the side lowered their heads. It was the first time they knew that their masters actually had such talent in cursing.
Dane became more and more excited as he spoke. He almost regarded the box in front of him as Raven and punched him up.
Click.
"Ao!!!" Dane hugged his wrist and sweated coldly, his face twisted:
"Leiwen!!!"
"You asshole!!!"
...
