Chapter 37 Omen of War
Brand’s perspective.
Brand, who turned his head suspiciously following the "Visitor Tips", saw at a glance the cracks that were rapidly closing.
Because the cracks were about to close, Brand didn’t think much about it.
Under his control, the silver-white metal branches "rose from the ground" and stabbed towards the crack.
Then came a burst of crazy growth.
As the metal branches become thicker and thicker, the cracks are gradually opened.
Just as Brand was curiously preparing to explore what was behind the crack, he suddenly felt that the "growth" of the metal branches had encountered some kind of obstruction.
Brand immediately began to "increase efforts."
But the next moment, Brand felt that the part of the metal branch behind the crack had been destroyed by some kind of high temperature.
Under the blazing heat, part of the "backbone" in front of Brand was melted.
Then, as if he didn’t want him to peek behind the crack anymore.
Without giving Brand any time to react, the cracks closed instantly.
The crack suddenly closed, and Brand, who did not react, looked a little confused.
It’s okay to have visitors in the simulation world, but what does it mean to run away without even seeing them?
Could it be that he was frightened?
But even a metal with such a high melting point can melt at once, so it must be very powerful, right?
After waiting for a while and no cracks appeared again, Brand turned his attention to the rhinos still having fun on the street below.
These rhinos should be a "gift" from the "visitor"!
Brand felt happy. He felt that this visitor was too polite.
Knowing that he had no moving animals here, he actually sent him so many!
Looking at the black rhinos that flattened and rounded all kinds of steel and concrete in the city.
Brand looked over with a hint of inquiry in his eyes unconsciously.
By the way, I heard the boss say this when I accompanied Catherine to buy armor not long ago.
The most expensive magic equipment in Farnes Continent is made of various materials from Warcraft.
And the "armor" on these rhinos looks very unusual.
If it is used to create magic equipment, it can be regarded as a high-grade material, right?
“I just don’t know if I can represent the past.”
……
In his bedroom, Brand looked at the small irregular shape in front of him with excitement. "Rhinoceros Armor".
——He broke it off from a black-armored rhinoceros.
It turns out that although he did not create this thing, it exists in the simulated world after all, so there is no problem in manifesting it.
In addition to consuming mental power, it also consumes additional magic power equal to the material.
"The magic core can be absorbed directly over there, and all the materials can be used to build equipment! This rhinoceros is really a good thing!"
For a while, Brand said to that " Visitor" developed a great affection.
……
On the second day after the “seasoning transaction” was successfully concluded.
Rarely available.
Mr. Holland, who had always allowed his two sons to "grow freely", called both of his sons over, and then told them earnestly and sincerely that they should become people with "ideals" and "pursuits."
Under the lengthy "chicken soup", Brand felt drowsy.
That's not entirely because the things Mr. Holland told were too boring.
Before being called over by Mr. Holland, Brand manifested a small piece of "rhino horn", which consumed a lot of mental energy and has not recovered yet.
As for Yersen, at the beginning, he listened very seriously. But after discovering that what Mr. Holland told was all unrealistic talk and nonsense, Yersin turned his attention to other aspects.
For example, Mr. Holland just took it out of the drawer and would eat two from time to time, red and crooked...
The fruit of a certain plant?
Yersin frowned slightly. He had memorized the "Encyclopedia of Plants of the Farnes Continent" backwards and forwards, but he couldn't recognize the fruit of what plant it was!
So is this the fruit of a valuable new plant recently discovered?
Look at Mr. Holander eating with a look of enjoyment.
Yersin couldn't help but sigh: The guy who discovered this thing is really lucky! I must have made a lot of money with this thing!
Yersin kept staring at the chili on the plate in his hand.
Mr. Holland smiled and said:
"If you want to eat it, you can get it yourself, but it's best to eat it slowly the first time. It tastes a bit 'exciting'!"< br>
Yersen, who has always been self-disciplined, is actually not a greedy person, but since his father said so, it is hard to refuse such hospitality.
Yersen is also curious about what the fruit of this "new plant" tastes like.
Where Yersen didn't notice, Brand opened his eyes wide at some point and looked over with an "exploring" look on his face.
Not long ago, I saw Mr. Holland taking out a plate of chili peppers that he called "devil spicy" and "chewing" them with enjoyment without changing his expression.
Brand woke up with a fright.
He was filled with shock and thought whether Mr. Holland's senses were so different from ordinary people!
When Yersen was also curious and ready to step forward to try it out, Brand's eyes were full of curiosity and exploration.
For no other reason than that, he just wanted to see if Yersen had inherited Mr. Holland's "unique" taste.
He didn’t anyway!
The result disappointed Brand.
You can tell by looking at Yersin's rapidly reddening cheeks that he has not inherited the inheritance from Mr. Holland!
“Have a drink of water.”
Seeing Yersen's face flushed, he looked "at a loss".
Mr. Holland thoughtfully poured Yersin a glass of water.
Mr. Holland also knows very well that not everyone can "enjoy" this kind of "excitement".
Being interrupted by the chili incident, Mr. Holland finally stopped talking about "chicken soup".
“I think you must be curious as to why I called you here today to talk about such relatively mundane things as ideals and pursuits.”
As Mr. Holland spoke, he took out a map from the cabinet next to him.
——That is a map of the Kaya Empire and surrounding areas.
“Our Kaya Empire is located in the northeast corner of the Human Alliance.”
After explaining the location of the empire, Mr. Holland pointed to the northern border of the empire.
“In more than 200 years, the northern border of the empire has moved northward five times.”
Mr. Holland used two fingers to compare the distance each time he moved north, and then continued to move north, pointing to the "Endless Sea" which was a certain distance away from the northern border of the Kaya Empire.
“Based on the average distance of pushing the border northward in the past, it only takes about two more visits, and the border of the Kaya Empire can be extended to the endless sea.”
To two sons After a little digestion time, Mr. Holland pointed to a large area farther to the east of the Kaya Empire and connected to the ocean:
“This is the Forest of Elves.”
Then Mr. Holland pointed to the area between the Kaya Empire and the Elf Forest:
"Stretching frozen soil and snow-capped mountains separate the Kaya Empire from the Elven Forest. Even the most powerful caravans dare not set foot in it easily."
Master Holland pointed his finger at the empire again The Endless Sea in the north, and then his fingers gently slid along the sea surface, bypassing the stretching frozen snow mountains, and moved to the border between the Elf Forest and the Endless Sea.
“And once we push the border northward to the Endless Sea, through sea routes, we can bypass the stretches of frozen soil and snow-capped mountains, and open up maritime trade routes with the elves!”
said Here, Mr. Holland put his hands on the table, looked down at his two sons, and said slowly:
"Based on the available information, it is very likely that our empire will be destroyed in the next two years." Internally, prepare the military strength for another Northern Expedition! You don’t need to remind me what will happen then.”
