The gold in the river wasn't referring to the gold that was buried under the sand at the bottom of the river. Instead, it was referring to the gold that was rich in magic that flowed quietly beside Elaine. This was one of the most precious treasures in the world. Witches often used it as a medium to change the future of witchcraft. That was why it was also known as the witch's gold. In the countryside, the greed that was often mentioned in fairy tales.
The gold that the Witches worked tirelessly to collect was actually referring to the same thing.
This was an extremely rare magic mineral. Just a tiny bit the size of a fingernail was worth as much as a castle. In the game, the Witch's Gold had another important use, which was to break the strings of fate. Simply put, this kind of gold was necessary to go from the highest stage of the Elemental Activation Realm, the Sage Realm, to the Realm of Perfect Body.
It was necessary to use it as a medium to cast extraordinary spells.
Before the War of the Slate Slabs, Brendel had never even heard of this legendary mineral. It was only occasionally mentioned in some books. The first time the players of Wohnde discovered the Witch's Gold was after the end of the Holy War. In the Year of Sparks, the first slate was found in the White Mountain at the border of Saint-ausol. Since then, the players began to enter the Black Forest on a large scale.
This was the first time the Witch's Gold appeared in the players' vision.
But this kind of gold was extremely rare even in the Black Forest. To put it simply, the probability of it appearing was slightly lower than the Spring of Youth.
And every time a Valkyrie was resurrected, it would require a pound of the Gold of the River – a full pound! Brando even had the thought of killing Babu. It would be better to just tell him that the Valkyrie could not be resurrected. In comparison, the other materials were much simpler. Cutting the future teeth was referring to Fenrir's teeth. Of course, its children were also counted.
Fenrir's children were considered Twilight monsters, which meant that they would only appear in the Calamity of Wolves, and it had to be a large-scale one, such as the one in the Loop of Trade Winds. And often, the appearance of Fenrir's children in the Calamity of Wolves meant the complete destruction of an area, accompanied by disaster and slaughter. Their teeth were rarely left as spoils of war.
It was equivalent to being worth thousands of gold.
As for the blood of the Hydra Lizard, it was the best thing for him to obtain because he had the eggs of the Hydra Lizard. As long as he could cultivate the Hydra Lizard Nest, he would naturally have as much Hydra Lizard blood as he wanted.
As for the singing silver, this thing only appeared in the Black Forest's Singing Spring. Its rarity was second only to the river's gold. Fortunately, there were very few people in this world who knew how to use this magic metal. Most people treated it as a collector's item, so its price in the market was not high. Occasionally, it would even appear in auctions around Ampere Seale.
Everyone could see that as long as one paid attention and was willing to spend a lot of money, it wasn't impossible to collect a Silver that could sing.
.................
The Wind Steed's lair.
......................................... That's right. The Riding Wind Colt was a Level 6 creature, and it was one of the more precious ones. It was only occasionally caught in the Wind Elemental Plane. As for its nest, no one had ever seen it before. He had never even seen a nest before, so how could he build it?
A nest for this thing? Unless Valhalla itself could provide the lair of this thing, it was basically wishful thinking. However, he had repeatedly asked Monika, but she still did not know anything. The Light Spirit girl still said the same thing. The knowledge she knew was limited by Valhalla. When the Valhalla Warrior Hall was built, information about the Valkyrie entered her mind. But as for
She did not know anything else!
However, she gave Brando a compromise, and that was to buy a Riding Wind Colt. The market price for one was only 1.2 million Tor, which was the income of the Tónigel for half a year. When Brando heard this, he wanted to shut the Light Spirit in the drawer, so that she would not continue to nag in his ear.
He could not help but sigh deeply. Sure enough, there was no free lunch in the world. Whether it was forging the Silver Staircase or awakening the dormant Valkyrie, at least for now, they were all things that were out of his reach. Fortunately, when the Valhalla Warrior Hall was built, there were a few more famous Valkyries, such as Brunhilda and her four deputies, Skagal, Courtney, and Grey.
Skagal, Skagal, and Grey were all famous Valkyries in history. Other than Brunhilda, who was at the peak of Elemental Activation, the others were also at the peak of Quasi-Level 9. In terms of strength alone, they were more powerful than Brando himself.
However, their combat strength was far inferior. Brando had fought with each of them in private, and he had to use Nine Luminaries Sword Art and Flash Strike Sword Art to defeat Brunhilda, who was the strongest in combat. As for the others, he could easily defeat them with just his terrifying combat experience. He even estimated that if the Planeswalker's abilities were more mature, and coupled with the Planeswalker's abilities, even if these five Valkyries were to fight against him, he would still be able to defeat them.
If the Valkyries worked together, he would still have the strength to fight. However, Brando did not think about this. His trial battle had won him a lot of respect among the Valkyries. The Valhalla Warrior Hall's Heroic Spirits respected the strong, and his strength as their leader had obviously won the unanimous approval of Brunhilda and the others. Even Babu's attitude towards him had become more respectful.
Unfortunately, this kind of respect did not mean anything. Babu actually told him that Brunhilda and the others could not leave Valhalla to fight because Valhalla could not afford their mana consumption. When Brando heard this, he almost fainted. It turned out that before the Dawn Sanctum was built, the Valkyries' daily activities all came from the mana reserves in Valhalla.
If they patrolled and fought in Valhalla's area, then the consumption was still very low. According to Babu, there were only a few hundred to a thousand units of mana per day, which was the mana of ten Moon Crystals. However, once they left Valhalla's area, the consumption would increase exponentially. Brunhilda and the others would need to leave Valhalla for a week, and they would need to use up as much mana as Valhalla's first phase.
The total amount of mana was a little more than a hundred and thirty thousand, which made Brando's teeth ache a little.
For example, the war with the Blood Staff this time could be considered a small-scale civil war and border conflict, but it would drag on for at least a month. In a month, he would need to pay a few thousand Moon Crystals. Although it was not that he could not afford it, it was obviously not worth it. Moreover, if the war dragged on, the money would flow out like water. Therefore, Brando decisively let Brunhilda and the others stay.
The reason why Hilde and the others stayed in Valhalla was because they were not needed in this war, and their claws were sharpest when they were hidden. On the other hand, Brendel understood that these Valkyries were mercenaries to Valhalla. Not only did they have many restrictions, they were also extremely valuable.
In short, if he could not use them, then he would not use them.
He sighed and could only think so.
He raised his head and —
It was drizzling in the sky. After the Moon of Autumn, the weather had turned cold. The rain brought with it a bleak chill, and when it touched the skin, the chill seeped into the bones. The Chablis region was filled with rolling hills. In such a cold and humid weather, he stood at the top of a hill and looked down. In his field of vision, there seemed to be countless figures moving through the forest at the foot of the hill.
Under the jagged leaves of the Erouine Oak, or under the fine leaves of the Blue Oak, there were many figures in grey cloaks moving forward. Not all of them hated the rain. Some of them took off their hoods, revealing their beautiful faces. Their long blonde or green hair stuck to their slender necks and smooth foreheads.
Beside them was a pair of pointy ears, and they carried a Wind Archer Bow that was one size bigger than the Elven Longbow. One after another, they passed through the dense thorny bushes and wild strawberry bushes.
It was already the third day since they left Valhalla. In these three days, the news on the battlefield in the Silman region was constantly passed to Carglise through Cohen's spies, and then to him. He then categorized the information and selectively revealed a portion of it to the princess. The reason he did this was because he knew that most of the military intelligence was to be provided to Viero.
Compared to the lords and generals of Lantonilan, there was no guarantee that there were no spies or spies among them. He did not want to expose his relationship with the King of Silman to avoid attracting the attention of Count Randner and the Blood Staff. Of course, the princess already knew about the existence of these 'Silman's Bandits' from the private messages he exchanged with her.
It could be seen that she did not trust Cohen and the others very much. This was determined by her position. She was born in the royal family, and naturally represented the interests of the nobles. She would not have a sense of approval for a mob like Cohen who wantonly attacked the nobles' territories. In fact, Her Royal Highness had advised him more than once not to try to recruit these people because it would be extremely dangerous.
It would cause great damage to his reputation among the nobles. However, Brando often did not know whether to laugh or cry at such petty advice from the princess. He naturally knew what kind of person Cohen was in history. How could he give up the opportunity to befriend such people for the sake of those pedantic nobles?
Cohen was the King of Count Randner in history. He overthrew Count Randner from scratch. In the chaotic balance of power in the era of Erouine, he obtained the recognition of all parties with his strength and became an independent king. Even before the Battle of the Oblique Forest, even Madara recognized his position. For a long time, he existed as a buffer between Madara and Erouine. Erouine.
After the fall of Erouine, he assisted Ella in the battle against Madara. However, at that time, Erouine's players had already fallen apart. He did not know what happened after that.
However, such a person would definitely not be a simple bandit or a bandit.
The battle at the frontline was very stalemate. After the Blood Staff defeated the White-Winged Knight Regiment in the Silman Valley, the deputy commander, Walter, had been confirmed to have died on the battlefield that night. This bad news was equivalent to announcing that the White-Winged Knight Regiment had been annihilated. It meant that the entire Grinoires passage was now exposed to the thorns exposed by the blooming black rose of Madara. The Vermeer Legion had to be divided.
The soldiers entered the northern part of the Tosankard Forest to defend, but the results were minimal. After a few defeats, the remaining human troops had been forced to the southernmost part of the Manoweir region. According to the news from the frontline, the undead army had already passed Silofarn and was about to conquer the most prosperous area of Grinoires.
Although that place was now in a state of panic, as if it was the end of the world.
The Grand Duke of Grinoires was sending people to the north to seek help from Karsuk, but in the eyes of outsiders, the nearest army was still in Lantonilan, which was the private army of Grand Duke Kanonon. Not to mention the army of Viero and Karsuk, it was basically like distant water could not quench a nearby fire. Now, whether it was the Blood Staff or the others who were watching the war, there was no exception.
Madara would definitely win this time. Even in Ampere Seale, some of the Cruz envoys and the priests of the Holy Cathedral of Fire who had not yet evacuated were watching coldly. They could not help but gloat in their hearts. Erouine's people were making the same mistake again and again, which was undoubtedly very stupid in their eyes.
But in fact, only a few people who were planning this war understood that an army had sneaked under the nose of the Blood Staff, and a real war was about to begin.
Brando lowered his head to look at the Wind Archers, then turned his head to look at Quinn who was standing silently beside Metisha and Fanny. The Tree Elf leader had rushed over from the Loop of Trade Winds day and night after hearing about his war plans. He stood in the rain and folded the letter in his hand, which was made from dried leaves of a huge oak tree. He smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing me a little
Quinn, help me tell Sifrid that we haven't forgotten about her. Once she becomes a true priestess of the Forest Goddess, we'll welcome her back to help Trentheim. "Quinn glanced at Brendel:" My lord. Just call me Mister Brendel, it's more pleasing to the ears. "Brendel waved his hand:" My lord, please call me Mister Brendel. "
Quinn frowned: "Mister Brando, the Elders hope that you will keep your promise. We rarely come into contact with humans, and the rumors about you … …"
"I naturally understand that there are some unscrupulous merchants and even nobles who have tarnished our reputation. But I'm different. The changes in the Loop of Trade Winds are obvious to all." Brendel replied: "The Grand Elder and the others should understand that humans have two natures: greed and curiosity. It is precisely because of these two natures that they have an endless drive to explore the unknown world. I'm just giving them an opportunity.
It's just an opportunity, but only I know how to do it. The development of the Dark Forest can't take any setbacks, but once the humans have tasted the benefits, our achievements today will no longer be based on a single era. It will bring a tradition to all civilized countries — to open up the wilderness. That will be a brand new era, and civilization will no longer be like today, cowering in a corner.
。”
Quinn nodded. It was precisely because of Brando's words that the Elders were convinced. Otherwise, even if the youth had ignited the Fire Seed of the Loop of Trade Winds, the Druids who had always been neutral would never step into the human world's strife. But now, Brando's ability proved that he was the only one who had the ability and courage to open up the borders of darkness.
The Druids must stand with him and support him in controlling this ancient kingdom. Brando painted a tempting picture for them, and once the scene in the picture scroll was realized, it would be the dream of the Druids for generations to come.
It was so grand and magnificent that Quinn could not understand why a human, a superficial human noble, would have such ambitions.
He looked at Brando and replied: "I'll pass on your words to the Elders. I'll leave my children in your care. Please treat them well."
Brando nodded solemnly.
He was not keen on war, but Erouine had to live. Sometimes, people had to fight to live. "Count." At this time, little Pero, who had been standing aside, finally spoke. Veronica had asked them to stay in Valhalla to protect His Highness Lenarette. The young men of the Folded Sword Knights had inherited the best qualities of the Imperial Army – loyalty and obedience.
There was no objection at all. However, they were a little embarrassed at the moment. The Folded Sword Knights could not exist as an independent armed force in Tónigel. Little Pero and Brund knew this in their hearts, so nominally, they were under Brando's control, but as for how to control them, it was very particular.
If His Highness Lenarette was only here for a general stay, then they should exist as the private guards of Cruz's eldest son. In this case, Brando could limit their scope of activities and power, but could not directly order them. Another situation was that His Highness Lenarette was here to ask for protection. In this case, in addition to the personal guards, Emperor Cruz's eldest son
Obviously could not have a private armed force, but Veronica did not make it clear to them on this matter. The current situation seemed to be that His Highness the eldest son was seeking protection, but the Lord of Tónigel did not directly order them to disband on the spot and return to the Empire, which seemed a little subtle.
A few days ago, they accompanied the eldest son to participate in the military meeting at Brando's invitation, and the message revealed in it was very memorable. The Lord of the Legion did not explicitly tell them what to do here. It could be said that he neither agreed nor stopped them, but the Lord obviously intended for them to participate in this war, or at least showed them one thing.
An attitude. As for what the Folded Sword Knights would choose, little Pero was actually very clear. The warlike blood flowing in their bones had helped them make a choice, and they certainly wanted to participate in this war.
