Chapter 231 The Legend of the Starfall Islands
With the fall of Gustav, this war finally came to an end.
Duke Wilhelm beheaded Gustav's head (a replica corpse head made by the will of the spirit world) and hung it high on the flagpole of the battle flag by General Zweig.
"Heroes of the expeditionary force, the war is over! We have won! The rose of freedom will bloom all over Europe!"
Duke William made an impromptu and inspiring speech .
Bai Pu is now more concerned about his own gains. Besides, the Swedish rebel army under his command is basically composed of former blood ring aberrant soldiers. Now it is controlled by Qin's curse seal. There is no morale or military spirit. Bai Pu does not need to bother and force himself. Go give a speech.
Let’s give this opportunity to the limelight to Duke William.
The cheers echoed through the sky.
At this time, Duke William had time to talk to Bai Pu.
"Mr. Fu Lei, we were originally at a disadvantage in this war. It was your surprise troops who stood out and attacked the rear of the Blood Ring Fortress, which led to the current good situation."
Based on Bai Pu's rapidly rising status at this time, Duke William's attitude towards him also became more important, and there was a faint feeling of equal treatment.
Bai Pu thanked him and asked, "What are your plans next, Your Majesty the Duke? Will you stay in the Nordic Peninsula?"
Bai Pu asked on behalf of Qin.
Originally, Qin and Bai Pu were both members of the Shinra Expeditionary Force camp, but now they have separated and formed their own camp!
When Gustav was alive, the two camps were able to coexist peacefully due to external threats.
But with Gustav dead, the threat of the blood ring dissipated, and the honeymoon period of the two camps will soon end.
The interests of the Swedish Rebel Army are not the same as those of the HRE Expeditionary Force. If Duke William takes this opportunity to continue attacking Swedish provinces, he will be on the opposite side of the Swedish rebel army.
After all, Scandinavia is the home of the Swedish Rebel Army.
Fortunately, Duke William did not have this in mind.
The blond Duke obviously understood the implication of Bai Pu’s words, and said with a smile: "Northern Europe is too barren, sparsely populated, and ravaged by blood. I have no interest in the land here."
Bai Pu quickly grasped Duke William's mentality and smiled: "The Duke wants to return to the European continent to display his ambitions."
"Yes, the German nation has been divided for too long. As early as the formation of the expeditionary force, I realized before that we needed to build a unified German empire. At that time, many people thought I was joking, but only I knew how serious I was when I said this. ”
"Under Jean's leadership, Sweden will be Brandenburg's loyal ally." Bai Pu also gave his own conditions.
Qin’s original identity is the daughter of the previous lord of Brandenburg, and she is a close relative of Duke William. Coupled with her experience as an advisor in the Brandenburg Palace, she will naturally not object to forming an alliance with Brandenburg. .
Whether the two camps, the Holy Ra Expeditionary Force and the Swedish Rebel Army, are enemies or friends, was decided in a few words between Duke William and Bai Pu.
After the general direction was finalized, the atmosphere of the conversation became much more friendly. The two chatted about some trivial matters. Duke William was curious about Bai Pu's sneaking into the Royal Alchemy Academy, and Bai Pu was curious about some details of the frontal battlefield.
During the conversation, Duke William mentioned a person: "Dior, the lady named Charlotte who appeared with you, she left the battlefield."
Charlotte , is the pseudonym of Blood Spider in this world.
"Since the Duke has an impression of her... it means that she should have embarked on the path of exploring her potential." Bai Pu said. "Yes, I think she has a very deep understanding of the profession of the Blood Curse Stalker. It just so happened that my ancestors left behind a legend of ancient dragon hunting heroes, which mentioned the advancement of the Blood Curse Stalker. I gave her a few pointers about the steps.”
"Hunting dragons?" Bai Pu was a little surprised, "Are there dragons in this world?"
"No one can say for sure what happened hundreds of years ago. However, in the past ten years, there have indeed been The dragon appeared in the place where the meteorite descended, which was also where the flesh-and-blood plague first spread."
Duke William said with a smile, "Ms. Charlotte is going to the legendary Starfall Islands to hunt down a dragon. . After she completes this feat, she will receive the inheritance of the dragon hunting hero. In exchange, the dragon skull she hunts will become my collection."
The Starfall Islands are located in the northern part of the Baltic Sea. Close to the Scania region.
Originally, there was no island in that place, but a shallow sea. The fall of the bloody meteor caused huge changes in the terrain, forming a series of circular islands.
The creatures on the island are the first to bear the impact of evolution. Therefore, the native beasts and plants living on the island have also evolved to be extremely powerful, and even the marine life in the surrounding sea areas have been deeply affected.
From the perspective of the Awakened, the Starfall Islands are actually the advanced area of the [Flesh Plague] world.
This high-level area is too small to support an independent and complete plane, so it is dependent on the world of [Flesh Plague: Aberration] and is caught between the two worlds.
It's like a small bag inside a big bag.
Bai Pu did not expect that Blood Spider would directly trigger the job transfer task and be able to complete the task.
He then thought about it, the Starfall Islands were a paradise for aberrant monsters and plants, and it might just be the most suitable place for Blood Spider to change jobs.
The blood spider focuses all its talents on diligence and combat, and has no social talents at all. It is not suitable for changing jobs in a world inhabited by humans.
Bai Pu has no intention of rushing to the Starfall Islands to help the Blood Spider change his job.
On the one hand, the job transfer task is a test of the spiritual will of the awakened person. Only by relying on one's own strength can one get a better evaluation. On the other hand, Bai Pu believed in the principle of equal exchange, and helping Blood Spider change jobs was not part of the agreed transaction.
In fact, the unsociable Blood Spider was able to get clues about job transfer from Duke William. Although it was because of her achievements in the frontal battlefield, she must also have benefited from Bai Pu.
If she starts from the bottom, it may not be so easy to get the attention and guidance of Duke William - from the beginning, it was because of her appearance next to Bai Pu that Duke William took a second look at her and saw that she was The Blood Curse Stalker profession is stuck at a certain bottleneck.
“The Starfall Islands are not simple. I heard Qin mention that when Gustav’s ship passed by the Starfall Islands, he seemed to have found some kind of mysterious rune, and his strength increased greatly. " said Duke William.
"Qin didn't tell me." Bai Pu said.
"Well, that can be considered a sad thing for her. After all, it was that time when the princess came into contact with the cursed meteorite and became the mother body of the plague." Duke William said.
Bai Pu frowned slightly. From Duke William's description, he felt that the Starfall Islands was probably a place he must go to in the future.
Because Bai Pu's Heart of Evolution talent tree requires the collection of a so-called "divine text" to open each level.
Could the divine runes mentioned here be the "mysterious runes" that Gustav obtained on the Starfall Islands?
Bai Pu had a question mark in his heart and planned to check it out later.
He is not planning to go now, because he has just been promoted from level 3 to level 5 by leaps and bounds, and his attributes have greatly increased, but his combat expertise and skill levels have not kept up, and he is far from developing his strength to the limit. .
As a high-end area, the Starfall Islands must be very dangerous.
Bai Pu has heard more than once that when the intermediate level is upgraded to the advanced level, the strength of the aborigines will leap forward! The difficulty of the advanced spiritual world is far beyond what the intermediate and low levels can compare with.
