Emperor of Arcane

Chapter 527 Catachan-Demiplane (8000)

The confused rain and mist slowly fell.

The "crackling" sound of the leaves being blown overshadowed everyone's breathing.

Taking a slight white breath, feeling the cold and clammy wind blowing against his cheeks, Chris resisted making any movement.

A gray-green cloak covered his body and blended in with the surrounding shrubs.

He has been waiting here for an hour.

Chris had been preparing for this mission for a long time.

After two weeks of training, I mainly learned camouflage capabilities and team coordination attacks.

According to Alice's idea, the enemies she encounters in the future will become more and more dangerous.

The big guys in the adventure group must not only improve their strength, but also improve their tactics.

Compared to the resistance of other adventure groups, the Alice Adventure Group, who often trained with the Gulf Leaders, had a completely different experience.

Adventure together, not alone.

Enemy a large number with a small number, surround a small number with a large number, or even fight alone.

There are corresponding training methods in the military camps in the Gulf Territory.

"Roar……!"

A deafening roar was swept by a gust of wind.

The drizzle in the air was suddenly swept away.

"coming!"

Chris's heart tightened, and he held his breath subconsciously, for fear of disturbing the figure in the misty rain and fog.

Bang!

The violent impact released powerful and violent power.

The big tree that the three of them hugged was easily broken.

The overwhelmed wood fiber was pressed by the broken end and torn off, making a "crackling" sound of the branch breaking.

The huge black shadow gradually revealed its movements.

Through the gap in the bushes, Chris saw clearly the figure running towards him.

The gray-green phosphorus armor is covered with large and small scars.

The big mouth full of fangs roared like crazy.

Strong winds spread out in all directions as it roared, pushing its screams farther away.

It kept flapping its bloody wings, roaring and blowing out gusts of wind.

The originally huge thrust was unable to fan it up.

The wings are connected to the joint on the back, and a bright silver crossbow arrow is inserted into it.

The crossbow arrow was stained red with blood, but the blood grooves on both sides of the body were still bleeding from it.

The giant creature, aware of the approaching weakness, rushed forward with all its strength.

There was unspeakable panic and fear in the originally cold and merciless pupils.

This is the mission goal of Alice's Adventure Group, a wind dragon living in the dark forest!

This wind dragon is the overlord of the surrounding area and is at the top of the food chain.

On weekdays, it runs rampant and takes whatever food is around it.

Now, it has become a lost dog and is running for its life.

Whoosh!

The dull sound of breaking through the air made Feng Long's heart tremble, and he rolled his body subconsciously, trying to avoid the attack.

But its body is too big, and the surrounding trees also limit its flexibility.

Although it tried its best to avoid it, it was still hit by the extremely fast crossbow.

The severe pain made Fenglong tremble violently, and the weakness after being shot in the thigh immediately slowed down a lot.

The scaly defense that he was usually proud of was as fragile as paper, which made it run forward desperately.

"Hey, where to run!!"

The roaring shouts frightened the wind dragon to tremble, and its front paws that were hanging down weakly were still aching.

The opponent was attacked with just one blow. It fell to the ground and had its claws broken. It had no confidence to resist such a terrifying force.

Looking at the figure of the wind dragon running towards him, Chris slowly adjusted his breathing.

When it was within 30 meters away and its only remaining front paw landed on the ground, it pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

The thick bowstring exerted force suddenly.

Huge power is exerted on the silver-white crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows engraved with many patterns activated the patterns of the magic formation on the crossbow arrows the moment they were launched.

"Light Body Technique", "Edge Technique", "Acceleration Technique", "Strong Attack Technique"...

With the blessing of several spells, the originally strong and heavy fine gold crossbow arrow flew out at constant acceleration, turning into a deadly white line!

Unable to dodge, Fenglong felt that its front paws that had just landed softened, and its whole body fell to the ground.

The huge inertia made this big guy, more than 10 meters long, roll through the jungle.

The moment he pulled the trigger, Chris put the dragon-hunting crossbow into his storage belt without waiting to check the results of the shot, and at the same time jumped to the side using both hands and feet.

boom!

The wind dragon's huge body flattened the dense bushes.

The severely injured Fenglong endured the pain all over his body and struggled to stand up with a roar.

At this moment, ashes wrapped in thunder jumped down from the treetops above and hit the wind dragon hard on the abdomen.

Bang!

The wind dragon suffered a fierce blow and spat out a ball of blood.

Feng Long, who was surrounded by severe pain, felt the numbness and tingling coming from his abdomen, and suddenly opened his mouth:

"Roar……!"

Breath of wind!

From the bright white breath, dozens of substantial wind blades flew out.

Sensing the danger, Ashes nimbly rolled to the side, avoiding the center of Breath of Wind.

boom! boom! boom!

The ferocious blow hit the shield held high by Ashes, and the tiny wind blades swung wildly thinned the fighting spirit around him.

Ashes, whose arms were a little sore, smiled at Fenglong who was about to turn around:

"It's your turn to be unlucky, you silly guy!"

"ah……!"

Another figure rushed out of the fog like a cannonball.

Before the wind dragon could react, Morak, holding the hammer high, had already hit it on the neck.

The wind dragon felt its blood surge, and its head immediately became confused. The severe pain made it try to struggle.

But there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Click!

Click!

Several more crossbow arrows pierced the wind dragon's body.

Only this time, the tail of each crossbow arrow was connected to an iron chain as thick as a wrist.

Behind each iron chain, there are giant iron locks connected. No matter how hard the wind dragon struggles, it cannot get rid of it.

Half an hour later.

This giant beast, which was in a weak state, was tied up with dense iron chains and slowly sent to the Gulf Territory.

Even after suffering such heavy injuries, this wind dragon was still not in danger of life, just very embarrassed.

But because of this, the living wind dragon can bring 50% extra income to Alice's adventure group.

It also made them famous again!

This visually shocking scene quickly spread around.

"Dragon! It's really a dragon!"

"It looks like a flying dragon..."

"It doesn't look like the flying dragon captured by the Gulf Leaders, but more like a wind dragon..."

"It seems to be mentioned in the "Compendium of Dragon Slaying" that it is a wind dragon!"

"Look at the wound. Although it has been sutured, it can be seen that it was a dragon hunting crossbow..."

"This wind dragon has reached adulthood, at least it is an extraordinary existence..."

"It's Alice's Adventure Group again. Are they so strong now?"

"It's not like you don't know that they recently spent nearly 300,000 gold coins to purchase several dragon-hunting crossbows..."

"What a big deal. Where did they get so much money?"

"Alice's adventure group came early and followed the territory's policies to participate in adventures. They will definitely make a lot of money!"

"Don't you know? The Alice Adventure Group bought several mining golems at the Ruby Mine."

"Right now, I can make tens of thousands of gold coins every day..."

"Aren't they developing too fast? How enviable!"

"They are recruiting reserve members, selecting young adventurers with good talents and personalities, and are preparing to become bigger and stronger..."

"They can earn at least 200,000 gold coins from this wind dragon alone!"

"It must be more than that. Have you forgotten the dragon's lair?"

"That makes sense..."

"..."

Butler Ralph looked at Alice walking towards him with a smile and made a gesture of invitation to her.

Noticing the gazes of the adventurers around her, Alice couldn't help but smile brightly.

More than 10 boxes of golden coins made the eyes of the adventurers around them shine.

Everyone started talking immediately, and many people were very excited.

Others were looking at the "Compendium of Slaying the Dragon" in their hands, working hard and preparing to make a splash.

This is a "declaration" that both sides are very satisfied with.

Alice's adventure group needs to recruit more elite personnel.

The Bay Area needs to put this sign up.

After this mission, many adventurer teams became jealous.

"We won't let them die. If you want to buy a dragon hunting crossbow, you must have at least two extraordinary level professionals."

Butler Ralph, who was introducing the dragon hunting crossbow, continued to say to Aini next to him:

"There will also be restrictions on the number of people. It can't be more than 100 people, it can't be less than 30 people, and the casualty rate must also be limited."

Aini nodded thoughtfully. After getting to know each other for so long, she found the policies of the Gulf Territory to be very interesting.

It will not completely restrict the actions of the adventurers, but it will not allow them to act freely too much.

Such many frameworks not only do not make adventurers feel uncomfortable, but also make them obedient by virtue of the high efficiency that they have maintained.

This naturally has some inspiration for Aini.

In the past few days of fighting, the terrifying strength displayed by the Cole Elf Kingdom caused the El Elf to lose a lot.

You know, this is still based on the fact that the El elves have focused on strengthening their defenses in recent months and relied on cities and fortresses to resist attacks.

If it is a field battle!

It is very likely that the El Elf troops are no longer able to resist the Cole Elf Kingdom's army.

Because of this, Ani couldn't help but feel worried.

Cities and fortresses must strengthen their defensive capabilities and have more lethality in defensive counterattacks.

Cause maximum damage to the army of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

While weakening their combat effectiveness, it also slows down their attack.

The reason why Aini rushed here at the critical moment was because the combat supplies purchased in the Gulf Territory had indeed produced excellent results.

Although the combat supplies of the Gulf Territory are not the best, they are sufficient in quantity and can be managed in large quantities.

Several border fortresses guarded by the Silver Leaf Family were besieged by a large number of enemies.

It was with sufficient crossbows and crossbow arrows, nutritional potions and blood-activating potions that they withstood the opponent's strong attack for two days and two nights.

With their tenacious resilience and continuous combat capabilities, they paid the price of more than 2,000 elven warrior casualties and persevered until reinforcements arrived.

The Silver Moon family is already one of the best-performing families among the El elves, and has also received awards from the Elf Council.

Because of this, Aini quickly came to the Gulf Territory even before the battle was over.

Then, she saw a performance performed by Bayland and the Alice Adventure Group.

I saw the rapid "progress" of the Gulf Territory adventure group, and also saw the dragon-hunting crossbow.

Aini, who was excited, naturally wanted to see the dragon hunting crossbow.

Butler Ralph, who learned the true situation of El Elf, had no intention of recommending the dragon hunting crossbow to Aini.

The reason is simple, the current production of dragon hunting crossbows is not enough.

According to the Lord's wishes, 70% of the dragon-hunting crossbows were given to the hunting team composed of Gulf Territory soldiers, and the remaining 30% were given to the adventurers.

As of now, there is no extra dragon hunting crossbow support for Aini.

Seeing Aini's eager eyes, the prepared butler Ralph smiled and introduced her to the real defensive weapon:

"Please come and see that a large individual combat weapon like the Dragon Hunting Crossbow is not actually suitable for battlefield use."

"The Lord has said it well. In a large-scale war, the most important thing is manpower and production capacity."

"When manpower is at a disadvantage, cost-effective weapons that have low operating conditions, can cause stable damage, and can be used for a long time are the most important weapons of war."

"For example, the long-handled musket I have is produced by the dwarves. It has a strong range and lethality. You can use it freely after learning it for three days."

Aine took the dwarf musket from Butler Ralph, and the heavy weight made her frown unconsciously.

Then she thought that if it was used for defense, it would not be a big problem.

Old John, who had been waiting for a long time, picked up a dwarf musket, loaded it with ease, and pulled the trigger into the distance.

The activated alchemical gunpowder suddenly emitted a huge amount of light and heat, propelling the rotating projectiles to be ejected.

"Bang!"

A bright fire suddenly flashed on the target 300 meters away.

Aini, who had sharp eyes, narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully inspected this dwarf weapon that she didn't like.

Not a bad distance.

A distance of 300 meters is enough for defense.

Excellent lethality.

The armor worn by the dwarves had a big hole in it, which was enough to deal with the warriors of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

Except the shooting speed is a bit slow.

Old John's movements are very skillful, and it takes 3 seconds to shoot once.

However, Aini soon discovered a rather good advantage.

It is very energy-saving and basically consumes nothing.

This also means that soldiers can continue to fight for a long time.

Regarding Aini's summary, Butler Ralph smiled and pointed out the most important advantages of the dwarf musket:

"Even an ordinary person, holding a dwarf musket, can pose a fatal threat to an intermediate professional 300 meters away!"

Her pupils shrank slightly, Aini felt the heavy weight of the dwarf's musket, and understood what Butler Ralph said.

Weapon control is simple.

Ordinary people can use it after training.

The lethality is very stable.

As long as the dwarf musket is not destroyed, it can keep shooting and causing damage.

Can be used for a long time.

It is also unlike medium-level consumables such as knives and guns, which can be continuously and repeatedly used using the "repair technique".

In terms of war conditions, this weapon can be said to be very consistent with Aini's needs, and also very consistent with the actual situation of the El elves.

Biting her lip, Aini looked at the smiling butler Ralph, feeling that something was wrong.

It seemed that the Gulf Territory knew her actual situation very well.

The various supplies prepared and the weapons currently available seemed to be tailor-made for their El elves.

However, Aini really felt that she couldn't refuse, so she couldn't help but try to fire a few shots, and discovered another advantage of it.

Not only can it be used to attack targets on the ground, but it can also threaten enemies in the air.

If you prepare an extra batch and focus fire on threatening enemies, you may be able to achieve unexpected results.

"These dwarf muskets combine the two forging techniques of dwarves and gray dwarves, and also use excellent high-quality steel, so the price will be a little more expensive..."

Meeting Aini's calm gaze, Butler Ralph sighed with emotion at the other party's progress, and calmly stated the price:

"A dwarf musket costs 20 gold coins, a pellet costs 1 silver coin, and a gunpowder bag costs 1 silver coin."

The price is not expensive and very affordable.

"Prepare 10,000 tubes for us first and see what the specific effect is..."

Looking away from Aini and Butler Ralph, Matthew smiled at the troubled Yaya and said:

"Don't think about being lazy. You must finish the homework assigned by the teacher!"

Thinking about various complicated magic formulas, Ya Ya was writing and drawing with a frown on his face, eyes rolling, obviously thinking about how to "be lazy".

She wanted to experiment more than boring magic formulas. She was just about to try out the transformation knowledge of the fifth surgery.

Ya Ya, who spent more than an hour finishing his homework, bit a crystal elbow to comfort his "injured" soul.

Yaya inspected the captured dragon-blooded creatures, glanced at the wind dragon curled up in the iron cage, and asked curiously:

"What to do with them? Are they always placed in the underground world?"

Matthew shook his head, thought about the situation in the underground world, looked at more and more dragon-blooded creatures, hesitated for a while and then said:

"This is just a temporary measure. Once the influence of the Mad Dragon Mystery Chain is over, they can be released."

"But before that, we must conquer them all..."

Yaya's eyes lit up, and he looked at those "naughty" dragon blood creatures with burning eyes. He smiled, nodded and said:

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Just when Matthew and the Gulf Territory were preparing for the "Crazy Dragon Disaster".

A sudden piece of news disrupted Matthew's rhythm.

"What? An adventurer discovered the entrance to the demiplane space in the underground ruins?"

Putting down the elf spell book in his hand, Matthew looked at the information in disbelief.

A bright and detailed magic projection appeared in front of Matthew's eyes.

In a dark passage, black cracks swallowed up all the light released by the strong light.

The adventurer who discovered it tried throwing a few stones inside, but no reaction appeared in the gap.

Matthew did not continue to look, but began to think silently.

This sudden space rift is indeed a sign of the appearance of the demiplane.

For excellent space mages, they can locate the demiplane on the other side according to the gap in space.

After obtaining the accurate spatial coordinates of the demiplane, you can explore the demiplane world through the space teleportation array.

The demiplane world is very dangerous, but also contains great opportunities.

Most of the counts in the Netheril Empire have explored demiplanes or mastered certain demiplanes.

They can search for resources and wealth through the demiplane, and then use these resources to develop their territory.

For most lords and nobles, the demiplane is an opportunity for the rise of their families and territories.

No matter what the cost, they will do their best to develop and master the demiplane.

After all, as long as they can master the demiplane, it is equivalent to mastering all the resources of a small world.

This is much more cost-effective than them spending a lot of effort to develop their own territory and train their citizens.

Matthew was thinking about the specific situation of the swamp ruins.

"Sure enough, the Pfizer Chamber of Commerce spent such a high price, it must not be for the underground ruins and the Hollow Lizard."

"If their ultimate goal is a demiplane, or the resources hidden in a demiplane, that would make sense."

"It seems that they have known for a long time that the space rift will appear and have made preparations early."

Matthew carefully thought about the memories of his past life and slowly sorted out the timeline.

If the Gulf Territory hadn't expanded so quickly, the Pfizer Chamber of Commerce and Viscount Larry would have taken control of the ruins.

With their style, no matter what is in the ruins, they will hide it secretly.

The Pfizer Chamber of Commerce got what it wanted and dumped the rest on Viscount Larry.

When the players appeared on the stage, only the ruins and Skylizards had been cleared away.

"It seems that other forces are not simple either. They are far more complex than shown in the game..."

Matthew was naturally unwilling to let go of the current space rift.

However, with the abilities of Matthew and the Gulf Territory, they may not be able to grasp the situation in the demiplane.

Considering the upcoming "crazy dragon disaster", Matthew hesitated for a long time and decided to proceed with caution.

Meeting Elio's hesitant gaze, Matthew smiled and shook his head. He sent a communication technique without hesitation and said directly:

"Seal that area. No one is allowed to come near it at the moment, but the news can be released."

Post a message?

Elio, who didn't understand, was not as hesitant and hesitant as when he first arrived, and asked very decisively:

"What is this for? To attract those spies?"

Recalling the "red name" he saw during his last tour of the entire territory, Matthew asked with a smile:

"We can just take advantage of this situation and follow the clues to arrest a group of people who have contacted them."

If there is no unexpected accident, Matthew is still prepared to wait and see, lest these eyeliners be cleaned up and another batch will appear.

At the same time, Matthew also wanted to see what these guys were doing and secretly take targeted preventive measures.

It's different now.

Demiplane information is so important.

If this is really a large demiplane with rich resources.

The Gulf Territory will be able to take this opportunity to obtain massive resources and wealth, allowing its already very fast development speed to increase again.

Moreover, if it is as Matthew thought, this demiplane was originally the target of Pfizer Chamber of Commerce.

Then it is even more pleasant to use other people’s resources to develop yourself!

After receiving Matthew's order, Elio immediately began to make arrangements for the arrest.

After she left, Matthew gave Grand Arcanist Kenoman a replacement communication spell.

Who can guarantee that the Gulf Territory will be able to eat this piece of meat?

Of course they are “real” thighs!

5 minutes later.

The surprised Grand Arcanist Kenomanor brought Matthew and Yaya to the space rift in the ruins.

I saw him reaching out his hand and casting a few spells.

"Silent Casting", "Instant Casting", "Multiple Casting", several spells with enhanced effects jumped in front of Matthew's eyes.

Feeling isolated from the movement outside, Matthew had to admire silently.

There is also a gap between the legendary peaks!

With the strength shown by the Grand Arcanist Kenomanor, he is really the most powerful group of all the legendary units that Matthew knows.

Even if it is a legendary level true dragon, it is probably not enough to be "teared apart" by the great arcanist Keno Norman.

While calculating the information about the space rift, the great arcanist Kenomanor gradually showed a little surprise in his eyes, and asked the calm Matthew:

"What do you think? Are you planning to secretly develop this half-unit area?"

Matthew shook his head and said under the surprised gaze of the great arcanist Kenoman:

"As long as it is suitable for development, I will call on everyone in the Gulf Territory to join us, especially the adventurers."

"Before they start taking risks, I have to confirm the degree of danger in the demiplane..."

"Of course, no matter what the development method is, as long as you, teacher, are willing to build a large-scale space teleportation array for us, you can get 10% of all profits from the developed plane."

Even though he was prepared in his heart, the great arcanist Kenoman was still inexplicably surprised by Matthew's generosity.

Before Grand Arcanist Kenomanor could say anything, Matthew had already taken the initiative to make an excuse for him:

"Teacher, don't refuse in a hurry. If there is a legendary-level existence in the demiplane, you still need to take action to solve it."

"If other families want to use some means to seize half of the plane, they will also need your support..."

Seeing Matthew's sincere eyes, the rather generous great arcanist Kenomanor nodded simply and said:

"Now that you have thought it through, I won't refuse."

"In addition to a large space teleportation array, I will also prepare two small private space teleportation arrays for you..."

While Grand Arcanist Kenoman and Matthew were chatting and laughing, they had already obtained the coordinate information of the demiplane.

Just when Matthew thought it was over.

Grand Arcanist Kenoman pointed towards the dark and twisted space rift.

Eighth Ring Spell - Space Repair!

The twisted and dark space cracks were slowly squeezed and fit together by invisible hands.

After the spell took full effect, the originally weird space crack had disappeared without a trace.

Except for a piece of torn gravel, there is no trace of the spatial rift in this place.

Out of caution, Matthew still dealt with the traces left by the spatial rift.

In fact, what Matthew did was quite right.

Even though the Gulf Territory has dispatched heavy troops to guard here, people still come to the swamp ruins.

It's a pity that with their abilities, they still can't understand the handling of the great arcanist Knonorman.

After two days of research.

The great arcanist Kenomanor, who used some spells to explore the situation in the demiplane, told Matthew about his situation with a strange look on his face.

"Most dense rainforest environments?"

"Are there various giant insects and beasts growing there? Are there some extraordinary or even legendary level units among them?"

"Are there millions of humans still living?"

"How did they survive the attack of the legendary monster?"

"Their fighting methods are primitive? What does it matter?"

On the surface, Matthew was confirming the specific situation of the demiplane with the great arcanist Keno Norman.

In fact, he was filled with endless ecstasy.

After seeing the magical virtual models and information of several special monsters.

Matthew has basically determined that this demiplane is the very dangerous and interesting macho plane in his mind - the demiplane of Catachan!

In Matthew's memory, this dangerous plane is full of dangers and has many terrifying monsters.

There are several reasons why it has aroused a lot of interest among players.

There are many types of monsters in the Catachan plane, and some are extremely dangerous.

For players who are not afraid of death, there is no better place to adventure than here.

Then, the players who claimed to be the protagonists of the game felt the terrifying malice coming from the demiplane of Catachan.

The poisonous insects falling from the leaves and treetops are enough to kill players.

Even if they are fully prepared later, tens of thousands of dangerous and terrifying monsters will use various methods to deal with them who rush in.

In addition to these dangerous poisonous insects and beasts, the people who admire the most among adventurers are naturally the residents of Catachan.

Almost every adult man in Catachan can "wander" leisurely in the dense rainforest where players feel like they are facing formidable enemies.

They are very powerful in combat.

Even the most terrifying extraordinary creatures in the rain forest are just prey for these guys in their coming-of-age ceremony.

It is precisely because of their outstanding performance that the Pfizer Chamber of Commerce has been unable to occupy the entire half-plane of Catachan.

Until an accident that severely damaged his vitality.

Matthew thought carefully about the various benefits of the Catachan demiplane, and suddenly discovered something very interesting.

Even though most of the demiplane of Catachan is a dense and dangerous rainforest area, a considerable part is still located in the plains.

The Gulf Territory can build a city there.

Then quickly develop the Catachan plane.

By what method?

Of course it’s to raise Gu!

The Gulf Territory is catching more and more dragon-blooded creatures. If the territory continues to bear the burden, just feeding them will be a huge expense.

If you put them in the Catachan demiplane, it would be different.

With the strength of these dragon-blooded creatures, even if they cannot run rampant in the Catachan demiplane, they can still occupy the next piece of territory for their own survival.

Judging from the "overbearing" situation of dragon blood infection, the already diverse and dangerous demiplane of Catachan will become even more dangerous.

The Gulf Territory has also found a place to raise these dragon-blooded creatures, and can also maintain their vitality and ensure their combat effectiveness.

Either way, get further expertise information from them.

Even after their death, collecting the various magic materials they "contributed" is a sure-profit business.

What's more important is that these "conquered" dragon-blooded creatures can continue to provide Matthew with the power of destiny after going to the demiplane of Catachan.

It can be said to be "dedicate one's work to death\

,""Contribution" from beginning to end...

As a result, the news that the demiplane was discovered in the Gulf Territory quickly spread throughout the Eastern Province and the Kal Plain.

Matthew, who was hoarding dragon-blooded creatures as "minions", was silently waiting for things to unfold.

"Come on, help me take a good look at the demiplane of Catachan. Is it as dangerous now as it will be more than 10 years ago?"
