As everyone knew, the formation of the Wohnde originated from the contract between the God of the Cruz people, Martha, or the mother of the Erouine people, and the four Elf Kings. It bound the Chaos (also known as the Sea of Chaos outside the world) to form a boundary based on the six elements.
Within this boundary, the outer layer was the elemental domain, and the inner layer was the infinite land.
The power of the gods that guided the world's laws was reflected in the sky above the land, forming the sun, moon, and stars. Thus, life was born in the water and multiplied on the land. Blessed by the wind and endowed with wisdom by the fire, the mortal world was formed.
However, outside of the 130 million laws set down by God Ahelu – A 'thro (Elemental Law), the Sea of Chaos did not submit. It was also reflected in the sky, and was called the Third Moon by the cultists. It was also the Sacred Moon in the mouths of the shepherds, or the Silver Heavenly Serpent, or the Moon of Magic described in the books of All For One.
According to legend, the invisible Magic Moon would watch over the land from the west every decade during the Summer Moon, the Moon of Scrolls, and the Moon of Recovery. Therefore, these months were also the time when the wizards and witches were the most powerful, and also the time when the Elementalists were the weakest. The Magic Moon at this time caused waves in the Sea of Chaos, and caused monsters to be born in the darkness under the influence of the Magic Moon.
These monsters were what people called monsters. The Magic Tide drove them to attack civilized areas, causing the Guardian Lands of Ahelu to collapse inwards. The civilization's territory also shrank accordingly. In the early days of the Chaos Era, the Magic Tide was a mortal enemy that almost every civilization had to face. This was also the reason why the Pioneer Knight existed.
Even in modern times, the war potential of a country had to be prepared for the decline of civilization.
However, the Magic Tide came once every ten years, and the last time it came was just two years ago. It was still early for the Magic Tide that came once every hundred years, so people of this era were not too worried.
However, after the Magic Tide receded, the monsters' lairs would not disappear. They would still produce monsters made of magic or mutated beasts over the years. Therefore, there were occasional reports of roads being cut off by monsters in the surrounding areas of major cities.
In Erouine, clearing out these monsters and lairs was the job of the guards and the Holy Cathedral of Fire.
However, not all nests would be destroyed. In the long battle against Chaos, the humans learned how to tame 'lairs', just like how their ancestors discovered how to tame wild beasts, using the products within for their own use.
After a long period of research, the humans, elves, and even dwarves had also figured out a way to create a similar 'nest'.
For example, Buga's Gargoyle Lair was a classic example.
(Note: A typical Gargoyle Lair can only produce two Gargoyles per year. However, the construction of the Lair and the maintenance of the Lair requires a large amount of resources. Therefore, even if a country relies on the Lair as a war reserve, its war potential is not limitless.)
The tamed nest was similar to the Erouine Wyvern Knight's mount and the Cruz's griffins. As well as the Earth Dragon, War Serpentine Lizard, or Black Wolf that people often saw.
However, there was another type of nest, the Guardian's Nest. It was a nest created by Marsha's (Ahelu's) Order Faction Power. It could also be created under the influence of Light, Darkness, Fire, Wind, Water, or Rock Faction Power.
For example, the Abyss of Wind in Saint-ausol, the Gate of Heaven in the Church's Knight Nation, and the Shadow Canyon in Madara.
Of course, these lairs were also divided into different grades.
For example, most of the Silver-Winged Cavalry and the guards had hound lairs. Although the annual production of these things was as high as sixteen, unfortunately, their combat power was only slightly higher than the average hound.
Moreover, the lifespan of monsters gradually declined along with the magic that made up their bodies. Often, the lifespan of monsters was short. Even the long-lived dragon clan would disappear after a hundred years. Compared to the real dragon clan, the difference was like heaven and earth.
The Stone Nest that Brando mentioned was a type of artificial nest. It was a product of alchemy, and the monsters it produced were Stone Golems that had the combat power of seven or eight adults. This type of nest was relatively low-level, but it was popular. Many nobles had such things in their territories. Even though the Stone Golems had low intelligence, they could still be used as soldiers.
This was the first thing that came to Amandina's mind when she saw the Stone Necklace. If Brando wanted to build some Stone Nests, this necklace could save them a lot of money.
On the other hand, Batom considered the increased production of the Stone Necklace.
Thus, the three of them made up their minds to 'snatch' the necklace.
The starting price was quickly revealed. The Stone Necklace was not as valuable as the Elemental Revelation Scroll, so its starting price was only two thousand Tor coins. Each increment was a hundred coins.
Because he wanted to get it, Brando was not in a hurry to make a move this time. He waited for the others to make a move so that he did not reveal his intentions too early.
The first bidder was born from the crowd. The one holding the sign was also a young knight. Amandina and Batom glanced at him, but their expressions did not change.
After a few rounds of bidding, the price rose to three thousand coins, and the number of bidders decreased. Brando understood that most of the people who participated in the bidding had a participating mentality. In fact, most of them were not really interested in the necklace.
But from this moment onwards, the competition became calm on the surface, but it was intense on the inside.
The right to bid was quickly taken over by the nobles on the third floor. Roen told them about a few of them. Most of them were nobles outside of Braggs who had their own territories.
The price rose to four thousand Tor coins, which was not a low price for the necklace. The true hunters began to compete.
The starting price was four thousand and four hundred, and the third room on the right offered five thousand.
The entire place was silent for a moment.
Many people thought that the nobles had gone crazy. But even more people could not help but become restless. The sudden bid made some speculators realize that the necklace could bring them more benefits.
Ripples appeared in the crowd again, and this made Brando feel that something was wrong. He knew that he had to use facts to dispel these speculators' thoughts, so he let Roen make a move.
Six thousand Tor coins.
Silence again.
The people who were eager to make a move immediately sensed that a war was about to break out, and all of them carefully retracted their hands.
Seven thousand.
This time, the bidder was a captain of the White-Mane army, and it was taken back by a noble with a price of seven thousand five hundred.
Brando did not hesitate to raise the price to eight thousand.
Batom swallowed his saliva.
Eight thousand one hundred, the third room on the right bid.
Brando asked Roen to raise the price to eight thousand five hundred, and he looked at the stage with no intention of giving up. Amandina could not help but grip the armrest of her chair tightly, and her knuckles turned white.
The auction hall was completely silent, and even the nobles were silent. No one was an idiot here, and for a necklace from the Stone Legion, they would consider whether it was worth it.
But Brando's considerations were different. He needed an army and a territory more urgently than anyone else. Amandina's funds were for the territory, and this was the agreement between him, Batom, and the noble's daughter.
The auctioneer hammered the gavel once.
The captain of the White-Mane army was eager to make a move, but he hesitated for a moment and did not make a move in the end.
After three hammering sounds, Brando obtained the necklace as he wished. Roen's men had already used his money to pay for the necklace and sent it over.
Brando looked around, and after making sure that no one was looking in his direction, he carefully kept the necklace. This necklace could only be used in the Stone Burrow, and it could only be used as an exhibit for now.
After the necklace from the Stone Legion, the auction gradually heated up. First, there were a few pieces of art that caused a fierce competition among the nobles. Then, there were two sets of bronze level one magic armor. These two sets of armor ignited the enthusiasm of the adventurers, mercenaries, and traveling Knights. The auction was heated up for a moment, and the two sets of armor were sold for forty thousand Tor coins.
After that, there were a series of items that stirred up the hearts of the people. Brando once again obtained a set of cards that were said to have magical powers. However, he didn't want the deck of cards. He just wanted to get his hands on the Card of Fate that was hidden in the deck of cards.
In fact, when the auctioneer had brought the set of cards onto the platform, the cards in his backpack had immediately reacted. He and Charles had looked at each other and made a prompt decision to buy the cards.
This time, he did not have any strong competitors. Only a few nobles who liked strange things fought with him. In the end, he successfully bought the card for two thousand five hundred Tor coins.
When Brando pulled out the Card of Fate from the stack of cards, he realized that it was a green card. On the front of the card was a picture of a group of green spiders that were born from a whirlwind. The number on the card was III, and the cost was the corresponding wind element.
Wind Spirit Spiders
(Alicia's Prophecy III)
Wind 1X
[Creature — Elemental Insect, Level 5 Creature]
Pay X and place X green creatures (Wind Spirit Spiders, Level 5) on the field.
When the Wind Spirit Spiders die, choose a target and burn X mana.
"Born from a whirlpool, return to the whirlpool of mana."
When Brando scanned the description of the card, he could not help but be slightly stunned. First of all, the card to summon a Level 5 creature already made him feel like he was at a loss, and the price tag and description were even more puzzling. He thought for a moment and couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to The Shire, "What does this mean?"
The Shire glanced at the card and smiled.
