"What kind of monster is that!?"
Lowell's face turned pale, "It's actually that fast!"
"Didn't you hear what they said ….. It's a Magic Energy off-road vehicle, but what is a Magic Energy off-road vehicle?"
Odora tightly knit his brows before quickly relaxing them, "Don't worry, no matter what it is, I think that thing will consume more energy than the Earth Dragon!"
The Magic Energy off-road vehicle that Tang En's group drove was surprisingly good, but Odora didn't believe that such a powerful thing wouldn't consume energy.
Just wait and see. When they rested at noon, they'd see the result.
The Earth Dragon ate raw meat. Although it was troublesome, it was cheap and could be hunted down after spending some time.
But that Magic Energy off-road vehicle clearly didn't eat meat. Since it had the word Magic Energy in its name, it meant that it was likely to be driven by magic.
Therefore, it was very clear that it consumed Magic Crystals.
Thinking of the price of Magic Crystals, Odora couldn't help revealing a smile. Compared to raw meat, the price of Magic Crystals was definitely high.
After going down the mountain, the Red Lotus Knights met up with the motorcade that had been waiting for a long time. Both sides didn't waste any words and Tang En's group slowed down to follow behind the knights.
They ran all the way until noon. When Tang En was feeling sleepy, the knights found a cool forest to stop.
The large group stopped here to rest. The Red Lotus Knights wanted to eat lunch and the Earth Dragon was already hungry, so they needed to replenish their food.
Odora found Tang En and said, "We'll rest for half an hourglass. If you didn't bring any supplies, you can come and eat with us."
"There's no need for that. We brought food."
"Alright, there's still plenty of time. The Earth Dragon just needs to be fed some raw meat and it'll quickly recover its strength after eating. It can run for the entire afternoon."
Odora looked at the off-road vehicle and pointed out, "This thing of yours consumes Magic Crystals, right? It's not cheap. "
"It's alright."
Tang En revealed a faint smile, "A poor quality Magic Crystal can run quite far."
Odora was stunned, "How far?"
"About a thousand kilometers or so … Oh, this is a new unit of distance introduced by our Irus Empire. You might not understand."
After pondering for a moment, Tang En clapped his hands and said, "It shouldn't be a problem to run back and forth twice from the distance we left Gorgon Lake this morning."
Two round trips?
Audura was shocked. He looked at Tang En in disbelief and said, "This is impossible! Doesn't it need to rest midway? "
Tang En shook his head.
"You don't need supplies?"
Tang En continued to shake his head.
"You won't slack off?"
"This is a product of magical construction machinery. It has no self-awareness and listens to the pilot's control."
"What, what kind of —"
Odura held back for a long time, not knowing how to describe it. How much culture could he have as a warrior? However, his intuition told him that if what Tang En said was true, this thing would definitely be a warrior's dream mount!
After making a round, Audura returned to the Red Lotus Knights.
"Commander, what's the situation?"
Lowell laughed and said, "Are they changing Magic Crystals right now? The price of changing Magic Crystals once will make them die of heartache. "
"No … …"
Audura said with a depressed look, "They are indeed using Magic Crystals, but a single low quality Magic Crystal is enough to run back and forth twice in the morning ….. Right, what is the market price of a low quality Magic Crystal?"
"An Officiator mentioned it a few days ago. It seems like the price has risen to around eight gold coins."
"Two round trips, eight gold coins … …"
Audura was even more depressed, "If it's split, the cost of the car is even lower than the cost of our Earth Dragon!"
Lowell was also depressed.
This was just the cost of using it normally. If they added in the cost of raising the Earth Dragon, the difference in cost would be even greater. It had to be known that when the Magic Car wasn't being used, it didn't consume anything at all. Even if the Earth Dragon wasn't being used, it would still consume large amounts of food each day. If it wasn't for the fact that there was too much of a burden on raising it, the Blood Eye Emperor would have already thought of ways to raise it.
The Earth Dragon that the Ryan Empire was proud of was actually defeated in all aspects by the Magic Car. This made Audura and Lowell very depressed.
When did the gap between the human kingdoms and the Ryan Empire become this big?
After eating lunch and resting for a bit, they waited for the Earth Dragon to recover its strength before setting off again.
Because of what Tang En said, Audura and the others held their breaths. They wanted to see Tang En make a fool of himself, so they did their best to squeeze out the Earth Dragon's potential. They maintained a speed of around sixty kilometers per hour. Other than the Earth Dragon needing to eat to recover its strength, they had been moving the entire time and didn't stop at all. They just directly ran over any magic beasts that blocked their way … …
They traveled through mountains and rivers, crossing the Gobi Desert, wildly running for close to a week before passing through the center of the Ryan Empire. After crossing close to two thousand kilometers, they finally arrived at the Ryan Empire's capital, Bull Kathos.
Bull Kathos was built in the central and western part of the Ryan Empire. It was very similar to all the large cities in Prandal. It was also backed by high mountains. The snowline on the towering mountains was clearly visible. Bull Kathos was located on the grassy plains in front of the mountains.
The architectural style of Bull Kathos was the same as the human's impression of the Orcs. It was rough, bold, and full of wildness. Large boulders were piled together in a rather rough manner to form a wall. Later on, a more primitive filler was used to glue the gaps between the boulders to achieve a stable effect. Of course, the best choice was to use earth magic to solidify the wall. However, the Ryan Empire could not find a suitable magician. This was also something that Testero Blood-Eye had been brooding over.
Even without the power of magicians, relying only on a large number of Orcs, they had built this miraculous city. The unique style had a great impact on the people, especially Tang En. The moment he saw the city, he felt his blood boiling and inexplicably burning.
The mountain behind King's City was called Kargel, which meant "God's Gift" in the Orc language. The water that flowed down from Kargel Mountain converged into a lake on the grassy plains nearby, forming an oasis in the desert. This was also a very important source of drinking water for Bul-Kathos. It had always been heavily guarded to prevent anyone from poisoning the water.
Tang En asked Angus with a strange expression, "This place is red. Why is it called the grassy plains?"
Angus had been to Bull Kathos in the early years, so he was relatively familiar with this place.
"The Ryan Empire is generally short of water. Because Kergel Mountain can provide abundant water, the ancestors of the Orcs decided to build the capital here. When they named it, their ancestors probably hoped to use this water source to turn this plain into a pastoral area with abundant water and grass."
Angus explained, "But later, for some reason, no matter what kind of pasture was planted here, it couldn't survive."
It would be strange if it could survive …
Tang En looked at the crimson land, as well as the smooth brownish-red stones exposed by the weathering of the Gobi Desert. Even with his poor knowledge, he could guess what was going on here.
Iron ore.
And it was likely to be a super-large shallow hematite mine.
More than half of the soil here was iron oxide, and there was almost no organic matter at all. It would be strange if plants could survive …
Of course, this was another world after all. Perhaps there were plants that were born to eat iron.
Looking at Bull Kathos getting closer and closer, Angus could not help but sigh, "After so many years, Bull Kathos still hasn't changed."
"When was the last time you came here?"
"During the second war of Chaos, I came to find the last king of the Ryan Empire, Malthus Bloodeye, to discuss the alliance. In the blink of an eye, Malthus has been dead for almost a hundred years."
Angus shook his head and said, "Time really flies. I wonder how that guy is doing … Maybe I can talk to him when I have the chance."
"Former comrade-in-arms?"
Angus looked nostalgic. "Sharp Tooth Bloodbeard, the legendary hero known as' Bloody Battle Axe ', the comrade-in-arms of those old guys, and one of the strongest in the Ryan Empire now."
As they approached Bull Kathos, the Red Lotus Knights began to gradually disperse. They would not all return to Bull Kathos, but would be stationed in a few surrounding strongholds. In the end, only Odora, Lowell, and a small team were left to bring Tang En and the others into the city.
Of course, when entering Bull Kathos, they were inevitably checked. Fortunately, Tang En was prepared. He used the fictitious identity of Nobodi Tang and the cover of the Phoenix Mercenary Group to enter Bull Kathos smoothly. The badge that the mercenary group registered in the Mercenary Guild was a pass to almost every city and country in Prandal. It was very convenient in many ways.
After entering Bull Kathos, the first thing they did was to go to the Vulcan Vatican to report their safety.
After all, the most important thing at the moment was the safety of Saintess Coco and the smooth return of Saintess Vanilla. Odora was sure that this news would make the rather depressed pope happy for a few days.
Looking at Odora and the others who were leading the way, Tang En said to Angus beside him, "Later, you and Khal don't follow in. Take the others out for a stroll and let them gather information about this place. You go find a suitable house and buy it."
"Understood. How do I contact them?"
Tang En looked at Angus as if he was looking at an idiot. "Are the magic-powered phones we just produced for you to play with?"
Angus slapped his forehead and suddenly realized. "I forgot!"
Tang En reminded Angus. "By the way, don't you have comrades here? If you have the resources, you can ask them for help. It's much better than wandering around blindly. It's best to buy a big house with a yard and a basement. "
"We'll see."
Angus sighed. "To be honest, I don't really want to look for that guy … He's a battle maniac."
