On the surface, the natural laws of the Mountain Sea restricted everyone. In reality, it only restricted those without the Key of the Mountain Sea and Lifeweave. In other words, the Snake Master left two 'cheats' in this fair place. No matter who the successor was, as long as they had these two cheats, they would be able to 'fly'. Now that things were clear, Tang Shidao only had three questions left.
First, what was the reason for the continuous invasion of void experts?
Second, what system did this weakened place rely on?
Third, what did the Snake Master leave behind for the successor?
As for the Kun's wings, Tang Shidao didn't care at all. After understanding the Snake Master's true intentions, Tang Shidao only wanted to know what 'wind' was. Since the Snake Master allowed him to fly, it must have provided him with wind. Once he found the wind, the mystery of the Mountain Sea would be solved.
"Brother Tang, this is the library."
"Thank you. Captain Da Li, you guys go ahead. I'll read here for a while. Let's have dinner together tonight. "Tang Shidao was in urgent need of books.
"Sure. If there's anything urgent, you can use the intelligence machine to inform us. That thing is too expensive. If it's not something serious, it's best to let Ghostman pass the message. "
"Okay." Tang Shidao wasn't worried about money.
After Da Li and the others left.
Tang Shidao paid three copper coins, including the money for the Shadow of the Previous Life and the Shadow of the Next Life.
After entering, he began to flip through various history books and general knowledge texts.
"Please be careful, don't flip through them too quickly. We sometimes give old books to the orphanage. Please try not to damage them, or we may ask for compensation. "The library staff saw Tang Shidao flipping through the books too quickly and couldn't help but remind him softly.
"Hmm, how many books can I buy with one gold coin?" Tang Shidao took out a piece of arcanite.
"On average, it's ten per book. Some are expensive and some are cheap. One gold coin is about a thousand books." The staff felt strange and explained in detail.
"Okay, I'll buy all the books I've seen. Just put them on the table. Help me calculate the money. After you're done, I'll pay and send them all to the orphanage. "Tang Shidao said as he flipped through the books. The staff was stunned.
"Okay, I thank you on behalf of the orphanage children."
"You're welcome."
"Then I won't disturb you anymore." The staff member walked away without thinking about the details.
In any case, they were all gifts for the children. Later on, he would casually call for a low price and accept a token of appreciation.
Tang Shidao looked at it for a while.
Soon, he gained some understanding of the Mountain Sea Realm. First of all, there was magic training here. However, both the student and the teacher were beginner apprentices with 1 point of magic power. No matter how much they learned, they could not exceed this limit. Usually, everyone would choose something related to work. For example, the farm workers liked to learn 'plant growth'.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the Wizard's Net, so he couldn't replenish his mana in an hour.
If he stayed here, he might not be able to recover enough magic power in a day, or even in a year. If he did not eat magic plants and special potions, he might not be able to recover for the rest of his life. Of course, there were plenty of magical plants in the Mountains and Seas, as well as plenty of meat with energy. That was because the soldiers were prioritized over the staff.
Therefore, in the end, he still learned spells, but he rarely used them.
In terms of power.
1 point of magic power was the level of a fireball, and it was still the original fireball spell. Therefore, a magic apprentice who 'ran out of mana' after casting a fireball could not be a hunter. If an apprentice joined a hunting group, he would definitely have to rely on other abilities to survive. It was the same for void powerhouses. They had a huge amount of magic power, but they could not recover it naturally. If they used it up, they would still have to drink potions.
Generally speaking, it was impossible to recover the magic power of a sage with potions. Therefore, void powerhouses also had to use spells sparingly.
Tang Shidao continued to read.
Soon, he saw that the soldiers who graduated from formal training here were all called 'hunters'. Above hunters were 'decurions'. Decurions referred to the elites who defeated ten people in a rotation battle. Above them were centurions, who were leaders who defeated a hundred people in a rotation battle. This kind of rotation battle was not a group of people rushing forward, but one fell one after another.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to get the title of decurion, let alone centurion.
He entered the hunting group.
Hunters had a normal salary. Apart from the share of missions, they only received about three to four thousand a year. Decurions were priced at ten times that, and centurions were priced at a hundred times that. Because of this reason, centurions were 'unaffordable' for small groups.
Compared to ancient times, centurions were equivalent to generals.
There were many races in the Mountain Sea.
In addition to humans, there were also strange creatures, including mermaids and winged people. Intelligent races generally lived in peace because the Mountain Sea was a place plagued with disasters. The more chaotic the war, the harder it was to survive. In addition to dealing with disasters, everyone tried their best to preserve their strength. It could be said that when one side was in trouble, all sides would come to help.
Similarly, when one side caused trouble, all sides would come to suppress it.
After flipping through for a long time.
Finally, Tang Shidao found a term that surprised him: totem!
He carefully read the entire book.
At this moment.
Tang Shidao was sure that Snake Mage had left something important behind. If it were others, they would definitely not understand because this totem was just like a magic mark. However, Tang Shidao understood it better than anyone else. There were two reasons: First, because he had once learned 'Divine Runes' without a teacher. In terms of characteristics, totems were probably equivalent to Divine Runes.
No, it should be said that totems were the original form of Divine Runes.
At first, Tang Shidao was wondering why Divine Runes couldn't exist on their own and had to rely on spells to exist. Now, he understood that Divine Runes were derived, they were things that relied on totems to expand themselves.
The second reason.
Tang Shidao was confident that he understood totems better than any other Divine Rune Mage because he had Soul Depiction!
Totems contained the technique of Soul Depiction.
In other words, part of Soul Depiction's meaning was exactly the same as totems.
Reading up to this point, Tang Shidao already knew two answers. Why did the Void Masters come, what did Snake Mage leave behind … The answers were both totems!
This was the only answer!
Continuing to flip through the book, Tang Shidao gestured to the group of ghostmen outside the library and asked them some questions. He paid them and then asked them to do things. After that, he asked for a single room from the staff, the most expensive one. Half a day later, the two most famous people in Seatide City were invited over.
Da Zhi.
A strategist who was very famous in the Hunting Group. Unfortunately, he was old and couldn't keep up with the group's actions.
Da Ba.
A centurion who once defeated six hundred people in a battle of attrition. He was also old, his son and grandson were old and couldn't contribute to the Hunting Group anymore.
They were once famous, but that was two or three hundred years ago.
"Hello, my name is Tang Tang. I need a 'butler' and a vanguard leader for the Hunting Group. Are you two interested?" Tang Shidao didn't beat around the bush. At this moment, there were ten large chests beside him, each one filled with Arcanite Gold. The amount of wealth in front of them could scare many people to death, it also proved that these words had enough backing.
"We're old." Da Zhi and Da Ba were both shocked, but they also knew their own limits.
"Although the Youth Potion is expensive, can you afford it?"
"It's not worth it. We're really old. Instead of wasting a bottle of Youth Potion, it's better to leave it for someone stronger. We've all drunk it before, but due to various reasons, it slowly lost its effectiveness. We don't want to waste it anymore. "Da Zhi explained. Da Ba's situation was the same.
Tang Shidao gestured, and the Shadow of the Next Life released two more chests.
One was the Youth Potion.
The other was the Beginner Longevity Potion.
"I don't lack these things. So, when can you start working?" Tang Shidao said indifferently.
Their eyes lit up.
Da Ba stepped forward and patted his broken arm. "Now is fine. Captain Tang, do you have any potions or magic scrolls that can restore limbs? If you do, I can help you pull in a group of experienced elites. If you're not afraid of spending money, I can also pull in a group of centurions. "
Da Zhi also said, "We don't know where Captain Tang is from, and we don't want to ask. If you have a lot of potions, recruiting 'veterans' is the fastest way to build a group. "
Tang Shidao nodded. "Yes, I think so too. I need to build a strong group as soon as possible."
Da Zhi estimated. "With the wealth here, it's easy to pull in ten or twenty thousand people."
"What if I give you double the amount?"
"Ah … Well, this … we can probably build a group of thirty thousand people. All of them are equipped with elite equipment and are excellent hunters. That's the limit. Seatide City needs to deal with the sea beasts recently. Pulling in too many people will cause trouble. If we have enough money, we can focus on veterans and even some disabled veterans. "Da Zhi's reputation was not undeserved.
Tang Shidao smiled, thinking to himself that this was indeed a 'godly opening' mode.
He raised three fingers.
"Three times." Tang Shidao pointed at the potions and said, "I can't give you too many potions, but you can spend the money however you want. Now, do your best. Don't worry about the problem of resources. Build a usable hunting group for me as soon as possible. I won't ask you anything. I'll only provide money. If you spend too much, I'll give you more. "
"Yes, Captain Tang." Da Zhi and Da Ba each took a potion.
After drinking the potions, they healed the youth and the broken limb. Then, they each took a bag of gold coins and left.
Tang Shidao ignored them.
In less than half an hour, Da Zhi came back with a few old scholars. He bowed to Tang Shidao, drank the potions, took the money, and went out to do something … Da Ba brought a group of strong old men. They bowed, drank the potions, took the money, and went out to do something … Just like this, before the sun went down, there were already two rows of elite hunters in front of the library. There were more than two hundred of them.
Looking at the equipment of this group of people, the other captains felt their teeth ache.
At this time.
In a stadium further away, Da Zhi shook hands with an old friend. After handing over the gold coins, they hugged and took over the new 'base'. Da Ba waved his hand and a group of thousands of beast riders carrying long guns entered. Following them were hundreds of skilled workers.
A group of ghost people formed an intelligence team.
A group of winged people formed a sentinel team.
A group of grey people formed a communication team.
A group of fox people formed a technical team.
Other than that, Da Zhi also formed dozens of special teams to meet all the needs of cooking, mining, herding, and so on. Da Ba divided them into groups of ten and hundred people to deal with different hunting missions. At this time, all the large armies and hunting groups in Tidal city received the news. Because there were intelligence machines that could send messages in a few seconds, such a big movement couldn't be hidden.
"Captain Tang, the armies of Tidal city are asking if you're going to participate in the sea beast defense battle?"
"Yes." Tang Shidao replied and added: "Da Zhi, we'll do what the other hunting groups do. I'll follow their rules, understand? The only difference is that you only need to help me with the missions I need, you don't need to earn money from others. "
"Understood, captain Tang. This is all information related to totems. We've also recruited over three hundred totem warriors and are waiting for your inspection. "
"Is it that easy to awaken a totem?"
"It depends on luck. You just need to try a few more times before becoming a Decanus. Because using that power requires mana, it doesn't have much use in battle and can only be used as a trump card. Unless we have a large amount of mana recovery food and potions, I don't recommend recruiting a large number of totem warriors. "
"Hmm." Tang Shidao smiled when he heard that.
Of course you won't be able to do it. You only have one point of mana, it would be strange if you could use it well. As for me, I have 5 billion mana, a mana recovery aura and Yuanzu's Mysterious Body.
This is the Mountain Sea.
