Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

There has not been a terrible war here, but the people's lives are still difficult; the sky here is blue, and the quality of the atmosphere is better than that of the earth, but people cannot feel happiness; there are no traces of the evil gods raging here, People's hearts are still sinister; there is huge wealth buried underground here, but many people are still busy working for food and clothing.

This is all caused by the incompetence of the rulers. Just because of this is enough for the Greyjoy family to pack up and get out.

But for the time being, Li couldn't say what he had found. He had to observe more. Standing on the stern of the Sea Serpent, Li looked at the islands that were gradually moving away. Then he saw a group of small boats floating not far from the Sea Serpent. On a sea area in the distance, there were men and women on the boats, most of them naked. After a while, some people jumped out of the boats into the sea. After a while, they emerged from the sea again. Come, swim back to the boat.

"Who are those people?" Li asked, pointing to some small boats not far from the harbor.

"Those are some 'pearl people'. Pearls are very popular decorations for noble men, and pearl powder is also an indispensable beauty product for noble ladies. Therefore, the price of pearls is generally higher than the price. These pearl people are Make a living by fishing for pearls, and if you are lucky enough to find some Valyrian steel under the sea, you can make a small fortune. "

"How to fish for pearls? Just strip naked and dive into the bottom of the sea?"

"Is there any other way besides this?" Hayreddin said: "We all know that Poseidon doesn't like humans to enter its territory. The surface of the sea doesn't matter, but if you want to go under the sea often, then it's not okay. It’s a good thing, it’s said that these Pearl People are cursed by Poseidon, and few of them can live beyond the age of thirty.”

"It's just the impact of seawater pressure on people. If you don't wear any equipment for snorkeling, it doesn't matter once or twice. To make a living by doing this is to exchange your life for money." Li shook his head and said, "This world is completely different. There is no such thing as a sea god, there is only one true god, the God Emperor!”

"The God Emperor is the biggest, we all know this."

"Did you just say Valyrian steel? What kind of steel is this?"

"Sir, have you never heard of Valyrian steel? Valyrian steel is a metal more precious than gold. Every noble hopes to own a sword made of Valyrian steel. , this can become a heirloom. Just add a small amount of Valyrian steel into the steel armor being created to make the helmet indestructible."

"Yes," Knight Hugo also joined the conversation, and he vowed: "Don't believe it, this is a real thing, our knight captain has a weapon made of Valyrian steel. Of course, the weapon was only made with some Valyrian steel added in the process of making it, but it also used up all the savings of the Knight Commander's family. The sword was called 'Moonlight', and it was extremely drifting and sharp. Incomparably, I have seen it with my own eyes. Before this sharp sword, a pair of heavy armor was almost made of paper, and it was easily pierced back and forth by this sharp sword. It is a pity that only one of them has been found in the world. The Valyrian Steel mine is located on the Three Islands. This mine has been occupied by Greyjoy before, and now it has become the queen's industry. The queen is trying to restore the production of the mine. If it can be successful, then. The rebels' armaments will be greatly improved."

Really, if that's the case, that would be great. Any raw materials that can improve weapons and equipment are extremely precious to Li. The sharpness of the Space Marines' weapons can be improved to a higher level, and the toughness of their armor can be improved. Enhance a level. Such changes can often determine the outcome of a war. But this kind of thing can only be doubted in the heart, and it will be verified by his subordinates in the future. After all, the people here are barbarians who have not yet reached the Middle Ages. It would be good if you can believe half of what they say. Li nodded, He did not allow himself to consider this problem from a physical perspective, but instead asked: "Since Valyria is so easy to use, why didn't the Greyjoy family use this steel to make weapons? If the Greyjoy family could Equipped with weapons newly crafted by Valyria, no one in this world should be able to challenge their power."

"There are many speculations. Some say that Greyjoy dedicated all this steel to the god of the sea and the mysterious god of life. Some say that Greyjoy sold this precious mineral to the heavenly beings. In exchange for a large number of luxury goods that can only be seen in other worlds, there are more rumors among the brothers on the road, but no one knows the specific situation. Anyway, the Greyjoy family once monopolized the only Valyria. They just mined the area, but they didn’t use this precious steel to make weapons.” Hayreddin stretched his body towards the sea and said casually: “I think it’s because the Greyjoy family doesn’t believe them. army, when the slaves took sharp blades and put on strong armor, they were no longer ordinary weak slaves, they became truly threatening warriors. Greyjoy was afraid of this, they The family hopes that all slaves will be weak forever, and then he will use a heavy burden to make people breathless and have no mind to think about other things, so that their family can rule the world safely forever. "

When the topic reaches this point, there is no way to continue. The source of the news is all speculation, and any discussion is meaningless. So Li talked with the old mage and the old knight about their daily lives. The old knight Hugo had nothing to hide about his affairs. The old man told his life frankly and briefly, and so did the old knight's wife. A believer of the God Emperor died during childbirth. This is an extremely common thing in this world. Giving birth to a child is an extremely dangerous thing for both women and children. If you are not careful, you will be killed. Every life is over. After his wife died, the old knight naturally cherished his son even more. Fortunately, his son also successfully became a guardian knight of the Holy See. As a result, he had a conflict with a deceased member of the Greyjoy family during a mission. , ended up being beaten to death by the deceased on the spot, and naturally he couldn't get any justice afterwards. The other party's last name was Greyjoy!

Li silently listened to the old knight Hugo's simple narration. The old man was not very good at telling stories, but Li could still easily feel his emotions from the old knight's mouth, his cultivation and expectations for his son, and what he was proud of. Sudden blow suffered at that time.

"All I want is justice." The old knight sighed and said: "This should be given to me by the king. A wise king can give justice to his people. I have tried it many times, so I understand Oh, I'm too stupid. Greyjoy will never give me justice. In the eyes of his people, there is only the glory of the last name. If a Greyjoy kills anyone, there is no problem in their eyes. , it’s just like a slave owner killing a slave, it’s normal, and in Greyjoy’s view, everyone in this world is their slave, nobility, free people, slaves, all of them In Greyjoy's eyes, they are all slaves who can be killed at any time! I found the murderer afterwards, but the murderer had forgotten even this incident, and he never regarded this behavior as a crime at all! Fault. Then I thought of the Holy See. Yes, we still have the Divine Emperor. The Holy Emperor should be able to give me justice, but the Holy See rejected my request. Those timid guys did not dare to ask for justice openly. They were afraid of Ge Rayjoy."

"No, all I want is justice. King Greyjoy cannot give me justice, and the Holy See cannot give me justice, so I will support whoever can give me justice. Daenerys is an excellent person. The queen, she promised to bring justice to the murderer. I have met Daenerys, she is an amazing woman, and she will become a just king."

"I hope so, but now that you say it, I am becoming more and more interested in Daenerys."

The old knight Hugo smiled, "There are many men interested in her, enough to fill up this trembling sea, but there is no one who can really become her man. She is not an ordinary person!"

Li didn't explain anything. On the Sea Serpent, the bosun's roar had already sounded, and the sailors began to shout and push the winch. They climbed and jumped flexibly on the cable. After a while, the main sail was raised. , the wind blew the sails, and the Sea Serpent gradually accelerated on the sea surface, splitting the waves, and began to sail toward the distance.

The days on the sailboat were considered a rare vacation for Li. He didn't have to take charge of the complicated and troublesome government affairs, nor did he have to worry about the affairs of the war group. He just trained himself leisurely and continuously, and then In his spare time, he found another interesting activity for himself, which was fishing.

Li knelt down peacefully on the stern of the boat. The long silk line hung from the fishing rod and fell into the sea water with the hook and bait. At first, the sailors laughed at this beautiful young man for being a little whimsical. Although the seafood was rich , but fishing is not a simple matter. Fishing in a moving sea boat is a matter that extremely tests the skills of anglers.

Unexpectedly, Li caught a 30-pound baby shark on the first day. Li really didn’t know how to handle sharks, so he threw the rare baby shark directly to the kitchen for disposal. However, he caught another one the next day. For the tuna, Li took action directly and cut out the belly meat. Then he cut the belly meat into paper-thin slices that melted in his mouth. After asking for the precious mustard sauce from Hairedin, Li first squeezed out the juice from fresh oranges and poured the fish fillets over once. Then he started to taste the delicious fish breasts with mustard. After swallowing the delicious food, Li sighed with satisfaction. If it was On earth, if you want to eat such delicious and natural food, the price you have to pay will probably be a sky-high price that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Just like this, the group of people moved forward. After arriving at the destination port, the group of people turned around. After killing three waves of robbers along the way, the group of people arrived at the Mages Association in the Melancholy Forest.

The tall mage spire is built at the entrance of the Melancholy Forest. The Mage Association has not particularly considered concealment measures, because few ordinary people dare to wander around the mage tower. These ordinary people believe that these mages are all A horrible and evil guy who sold his soul to the devil.

When Li walked to the door of the mage tower, he received a grand reception. Almost all the mages were wearing robes that shimmered with psychic light, holding walking sticks, and forming a procession with unusual solemnity.

The leading mage wore a gorgeous robe, which was covered with profound runes with spiritual power. He held a long staff in one hand, and a transparent crystal was suspended on the staff. The crystal was constantly flashing with spiritual light.

"Good day, everyone, welcome to the home of mages, the Mage Association," the mage walked in front of everyone, bowed and saluted, and then said: "I am the president of the Mage Association, Thales. Master Paracelsus, welcome back. This mission is not easy. Thank you for your hard work."

"Nothing, I just couldn't complete the mission."

"It's not your fault, Paracelsus, you don't have to blame yourself for it. Anyone who encounters such an emergency can only be helpless. Even if it's me, I can't do better than you. Since I'm back to the Mage Association, I'm back home. Have a good rest."

"Thank you, Master Thales." After saying that, Paracelsus saluted to Li, and then said: "Then I'll see you later. Hello, if you want to visit the Mage Association, I hope I can have the honor to be your guide. "

Li nodded slightly, and then Mage Paracelsus and Knight Hugo walked into the Mage Tower together. The president of the Mage Association, Thales, walked in front of Li and bowed again and said: "I guess you are the Li who suddenly appeared. I have heard Paracelsus's description of you. Your magic is unfathomable and unpredictable. The strength of your soul made him feel despair for the first time. Moreover, your martial arts are outstanding and you can easily defeat our Knight Hugo. To be honest, it doesn't look like it in person. "

Li smiled and asked: "Do you need to test it?"

"You are joking. I naturally believe what Master Paracelsus said 100%. Your strength is not allowed to Doubt. But I was thinking, how could such a strong man suddenly appear in this world? This is really strange. Maybe you are not from this world? "

"Not much, I just like to study ancient books. I just know that those "saints" who created the church and now only exist in the scriptures are real people. They are apostles from heaven, from a huge country that we can't imagine, and are messengers of the Holy Emperor. "

"From a certain perspective, you are right. "

"So, those legends are really true?" Thales looked at Li suspiciously again, and then said: "But it is somewhat different from what is recorded in the classics. Forget it, this matter has been We will have a chance to talk about it later. Now, may I have the honor to invite you to have a cup of afternoon tea together? "

"In exchange, can I enter and leave your library freely?"

"Only members of the Mage Association can enter and leave the library freely."

"I can join, but we can leave these things to the tea table and talk slowly."

Li tasted a sweet and greasy afternoon tea on the top floor of the Mage Association's spire, which almost made him vomit on the spot. But even with such a sacrifice, Li was ultimately unable to obtain the privilege of free entry and exit of the Mage Association's library. Thales has always emphasized that only members of the Mage Association can obtain the privilege of free entry and exit of the Mage Association's library. Li naturally has no problem, it's just an extra title, there is no problem for Li. But after Thales's detailed description, Li realized that joining the Mage Association is not a simple matter.

First of all, if you want to join the Mage Association, you can start as an apprentice. If you want to become a formal student, you need to undergo a special test. For almost all apprentices, such a test is naturally extremely dangerous.

At the beginning of the creation of the Mage Association, the saints helped these mages to seal and imprison a weak demon who was good at illusion. The trial of the mage was to send the soul of the mage apprentice into the secret realm through a ritual. This is a dangerous trial. If the apprentices cannot defeat the demon in the secret realm and come out by their own strength, then their souls will be lost in the secret realm and become new prisoners, or even worse, they will become the property and playthings of the demon. Of course, even so, the demon cannot escape. He can only become a level to help the Mage Association brush off those weak-willed mage apprentices.

For Li, such a trial is naturally meaningless. Those who can make Master Paracelsus fall into a coma with the intersection of vision and the oppression of will will naturally not be afraid of such a small test.

But the trouble is more than that. As long as you enter the Mage Tower, you will be equipped with a guardian knight, which is a must.

The Guardian Knight can suppress psychic energy through prayer and the holy power in the body. He is the nemesis of all the mages here, but for Li, he is just a character that can be knocked down with a wave of his hand. Naturally, he is not afraid of the Guardian Knight.

However, through these, Li found that it seemed to be quite troublesome to obtain free access to the library. Of course, turning against him and killing him is also a good way, but this method can only cause more troublesome consequences, and it is completely unnecessary. Moreover, he is not here for vacation now. Li still has business to do. g
