Lord Harland

Seeing that the auction had stopped, Richard walked up to the booth in person, put on his gloves and flipped through the magic book. Although the content behind it had been sealed, Richard still saw a few familiar things in the magic book. Chinese characters, with key phrases such as key, plane, azure, and passage written on it.

Seeing this scene, Richard was ecstatic and immediately knew that this magic book should be something left by Shao Gongyuan.

Richard has lived in the Dawn Plane for twenty-five years and has grown to become a seventh-level magician and a duke. Although the Grant Kingdom is a remote place, Richard has grown into a big shot after years of struggle. The strength he has mastered, even in the Holy Glory Empire, is a great lord above count. Even with personal strength, Richard can fight against the legendary knights.

In more than twenty years of experience, apart from Shao Gongyuan, Richard has never seen anyone else use Chinese characters.

Compared to more than ten years ago, Richard had a deeper understanding of the city. Even though he knew that this magic book was extremely precious, he still asked the auctioneer calmly: "Is this magic book the original?"

"Dear Duke Harland, this magic book is of course the original version. The Linus family was not developing well in the Kingdom of Lane. In order to expand the territory and raise resources, they sold a batch of extraordinary inheritance to our Chamber of Commerce, including this magic book. .

Of course, after entering our chamber of commerce, we will also copy the contents of the magic book. If the Duke decides to buy out this magic book, we will not sell it in the future. However, the buyout price has to be increased to 30,000 standard magic crystals. "

After listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Richard nodded slightly, and then said: "The origin of this magic book is very clear. The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Stanik have mastered this set of astrology, because the scope of its spread has expanded a lot. , the inheritance value of this set of astrology has dropped a lot.

Even if I buy it out from you, it will still be of no use because Stanik's nobles will leak it. Although I really want to buy it, it is very inappropriate to give out six thousand magic crystals. I think the actual value should be about one-third. "

As soon as Richard finished speaking, the auctioneer of the Sollenheim family immediately shook his head and said: "The Duke is wrong. This set of astrology is a very good set of spells. It cannot be sold at a high price in Stanik. We can go elsewhere." The state is for sale.”

"The news has leaked. If the great nobles of nearby countries want to trade this inheritance, they will also turn to the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Stanik. Compared with the multinational chamber of commerce, the great nobles operating locally are not as open-minded.

Except for a few nearby countries, astrology cannot be sold at high prices in places such as the Holy Radiance Empire and Markholm Magic Kingdom. The best option for your chamber of commerce is still to sell this magic book at this auction.

Moreover, the threshold for learning astrology is very high, and you need to master the starlight meditation method first. I will give you four thousand magic crystals, and you will trade the meditation method with me. "

In fact, Leader Harland has mastered the complete Starlight Meditation Method. This meditation method can meditate to the legendary fourth level. It is the most important reference for Richard to deduce the meditation method.

The starlight meditation method mastered by the Stanik noble can only meditate to the nine rings, which is far inferior to the Harland leader.

But this situation is not clear to the outside nobles.

Even the ordinary magicians in the Harland Territory don't know the inside story. Those who know the situation of the Starlight Meditation Method are the senior leaders of the Harland Mage Association, and the information will basically not be leaked.

Because it is difficult to get started with the Starlight Meditation Method, the Harland Territory has only trained two official Starlight Mage and four apprentices in recent years. Among them, Margaret is a Starlight Mage and has been promoted to a second-level mage this summer. At only thirteen years old, due to his good congenital conditions, his meditation progress is ahead of both Richard and Sophia.

By purchasing the Starlight Meditation Method, these apprentices can be exposed to the public, and Margaret will not arouse suspicion in the future, and can learn astrology openly.

This book of Starry Astrology has been inspected by the Solenheim Chamber of Commerce. Although there are some strange words that have not been deciphered, there is nothing special about it. The entire book has been copied by the Solenheim family.

Things like extraordinary inheritance can be sold multiple times.

Apart from its so-called antique value, there is no other difference between the original magic book and the transcript.

The Sollenheim Chamber of Commerce auctioned the original magic book mainly to increase its quality and sell it at a high price. Seeing that the nobles present did not continue to bid, the senior officials of the Sollenheim Chamber of Commerce finally agreed to Richard's request after discussion.

After paying four thousand magic crystals, Richard purchased this magic book left by a fellow earthling.

After returning to the box, Richard released a defensive barrier and looked through the magic book carefully.

This special magic book has several Chinese characters recorded on each page. Adding up the more than 100 pages of the magic book, there are about 500 Chinese characters in it.

The content of more than 500 Chinese characters is very messy and requires a special password to decipher it. Richard does not have a password, so it will take a lot of effort to decipher the content.

Moreover, the Shao era was more than 3,000 years ago, and the vocabulary related to humanities and geography was almost completely different. Not only did it require a wealth of knowledge, but sometimes it also required guesswork.

Fortunately, there are many special phrases in Chinese characters. By summarizing and sorting out these phrases, which lasted until night, Richard finally understood the meaning hidden in the magic book.

This magic book was indeed left by Shao Gongyuan, and it recorded the coordinates of a special place located in the Dragon Canyon, dozens of miles away from where Richard blocked the plane passage.

According to the records left by Shao Gongyuan, the Star Alliance, the traveler organization he led, established a plane passage and installed a boundary gate in this place. Through this plane passage, you can enter a magical plane called Azure. Shao Gongyuan left a special treasure in the Azure plane.

During the battle to block the plane passage, Richard also entered the so-called blue plane. Unfortunately, the actual situation was completely different from what Shao Gongyuan recorded.

This plane has been completely infected by the undead and has become the private property of the undead king.

After all, Shao Gongyuan's era was more than three thousand years ago, and during the three thousand years of vicissitudes of life, everything in those days had already changed.

Perhaps after the failure of the Star Alliance, the Undead King successfully invaded the Azure Plane and finally transformed the Azure Plane into the Realm of the Dead.

Although the Blue Plane has been reduced to the Realm of the Dead, the value of the information left by Shao Gongyuan is still very high, because the Starlight Alliance led by him has established a complete realm gate and controls a plane passage.

Although the value of the necromancy world is slightly lower than that of the magic plane, there are also some special treasures in the necromancy world. In addition to the most important soul crystals, there are also some negative energy magic plants and magic minerals.

To develop a complete world of the dead, the power of the Harland Mage Association is far from enough. However, if you master the complete world gate, you can enter the inside of the world of the dead by sneaking.

Of course, after entering the world of the dead, you must master some special spells. Ordinary soldiers and low-level professionals will be of no use after entering. Because the world of the dead is filled with a lot of negative energy, and there is basically no water or food. If you want to survive in the world of the dead for a long time, you must master protective spells such as Holy Light Barrier and Elemental Barrier.

Without the protection of a high-level magician, even if a high-level knight enters this special barrier, he will not be able to survive for long.

Of course, ordinary people in the Dawn Plane have other ways to live in the realm of the dead. The first is to build a special elemental furnace. This furnace can refine negative energy and form a special barrier to block the negative energy. Outside the barrier.

The second method is to place the divine fire inside the realm of the dead and calcine it to purify the negative energy of the space and make an area suitable for human survival.

The Harland leader has mastered the construction method of the elemental furnace. To build an elemental furnace that converts negative energy, it requires the use of four legendary soul crystals, seven extraordinary materials, and tens of millions of gold coins in extraordinary resources. Even with such a large investment, Harland cannot afford to lead such a ducal family.

Even if the elemental furnace is built, the divine fire is ignited, and the forward base is established, the power of the Harland leader cannot be defended in the world of the dead.

The undead are very sensitive to the breath of living people. Once you choose to establish a solid base, you will inevitably face the tide of undead in the entire world, and the two worlds will never stop fighting.

Once the forward base is lost, the Undead Lord can establish an invasion channel by controlling the world gate and inferring the coordinates of the Dawn Plane.

When the time comes, it will be almost impossible for Richard and Harland with their small bodies to resist.

Moreover, the current situation in the Dawn Plane is special. Although the state of the Seven Gods has recovered after the ancient war and can grant some power, the seriously injured Seven Gods are probably no match against the Undead Lord.

Without the protection of the Seven Gods, the Dawn Plane would probably fall into the hands of the undead.

Richard has lived in the Dawn Plane for more than twenty years and has already integrated into this plane. Here, Richard has relatives, wives, and friends again.

These are things that he can't let go of, and Richard won't do it rashly without being completely sure.

Without establishing an advance base, even though it is dangerous to enter the realm of the dead, the location of the gate can be hidden. Unless you are unlucky enough to encounter the undead king, the coordinates of the dawn plane will basically not be exposed. After all, with the power of the Harland Mage Association, it can already hunt legendary undead creatures.

Although the magic book left by Shao Gongyuan is very ordinary, the amount of information recorded in Chinese characters is very important. In addition to talking about plane passages and coordinates, the content inside also talks about the key to opening the plane passage.

This special key is hidden in the Lake of Life, and the correct spell must be used to remove the key. The spell is written in Alfalan script, but requires Chinese pronunciation. Except for members of the Star Alliance, it is almost impossible for outsiders to master the spell.

The members of the Star Alliance drank the water of the Styx and signed the Styx Contract. Their souls were protected by the God of Death in the multi-world, making it almost impossible to leak the news.

Shao Gongyuan's design is almost interlocking, ensuring that the Starlight Alliance has complete control of the plane passage.

If it weren't for a coincidence, even if Richard was a time traveler and understood the hidden content of this magic book, he would still be unable to take away the key, because in this era, people who can master the ancient wizard's writing and understand the O'Flan language writing have already Very rare.

If he hadn't been taken away by a lich more than ten years ago, Richard wouldn't have mastered this precious knowledge.

Back then, he exchanged the wizard's writing for the magic inheritance of the Church of Dawn, but the words and language of O'Farland were not leaked to the Church of Dawn. However, now that Archbishop Senna is sitting in the princess's mausoleum and can communicate with Princess Marta using soul waves, it is estimated that the church can also obtain this knowledge.

After taking the photo of this magic book, Richard's luck seemed to have run out. There was no news about the Dragon Blood Fruit for the next two days, until the cross-border auction ended.

After the auction, Richard entered Stanik Palace and prepared to bid farewell to Grand Duke Jonathan.

Unexpectedly, Duke Jonathan met Richard and directly made a request for a joint crusade against the dragon.

"Duke Richard, last time our two families joined forces to defeat the legendary dragon. Although we achieved some results, there was still nothing we could do with this black dragon. This time I decided to take action myself. It would be best to kill this dragon. If so, Even if they don’t arrive, they will be driven away.”

"Will the elite soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Stanik take action?"

If you want to defeat the dragon, it is best to use elite soldiers and strong generals.

In the last battle against the dragon, Harland was limited by supplies and could not send out too many troops. Although some results were achieved, the 6,000 elite members of the Jonathan family were defeated by the legendary black dragon, and the crusade was completely defeated.

After years of cultivation, the Grand Duchy of Stanik had recovered a lot of its strength. Seeing that his sons had suffered a loss, Grand Duke Jonathan finally had time to organize a dragon-slaying team once again, preparing to attack the legendary black dragon.

Hearing Richard's question, Duke Jonathan nodded and said: "I will dispatch two Warcraft brigades from Stanik, with a total of about 1,200 Warcraft cavalry. In addition, the Palace Guard Brigade will also go into battle, with a total strength of nearly 2,000. Duke Jonathan will also mobilize 3,000 veterans, and together with the recruited Stanik mage group, the Eastern Route Army will dispatch 6,500 people."

"Since the Grand Duke wants to solve this problem once and for all, of course we Harland leaders are willing to cooperate. However, our food roads are not smooth, so we can only dispatch about three to four thousand people at most." Richard weighed it for a while and happily agreed to Jonathan. The Duke's request.

The most difficult thing in defeating the dragon is the supply of food routes. Although the dragon's lair is not too far from the forward base of both sides, only about 200 kilometers away, it is very difficult to maintain food routes when fighting 200 kilometers away in the primitive jungle.

In recent decades, the Dukedom of Jonathan has been building roads in order to maintain an army of six thousand to fight against the legendary black dragon.

Although the Harland leader also built a fortress near the kobold cave and hoarded food, he could only maintain one or two thousand men to fight at most. Even with the addition of space props such as the Star Bottle and the Legendary Space Bag, it can only maintain the food path for four thousand people.

If the east and west armies cooperate well, they can indeed defeat the legendary dragon.

The reason why Richard happily agreed to Duke Jonathan was that in addition to eliminating the threat of the legendary black dragon, he also wanted to pick the dragon blood fruit near the dragon's nest.

The high-level dragon blood fruit is related to Sophia's future as an advanced legend, and Richard doesn't want her to wait too long.
