Chapter 59: The Blossoming
Broken Sword Mercenary Group, one of the first foreign mercenary groups to settle in Sheshou Town, travels between Cuihai Valley and Sheshou Town every day.
However, as the pioneering war started, a large number of mercenary groups swarmed in.
The news about the Broken Sword mercenary group was drowned in the sea of mercenaries. The last time Duke heard about the Broken Sword mercenary group was when he heard others chatting in the Black Beetle. Captain of the Broken Sword, 1 The great knight of the ring, Delemon, died in the siege of the beast tide.
At that time, some mercenaries laughed at him, thinking that the Broken Sword mercenary's name was unlucky.
"Well, it seems that this mercenary group has not been disbanded, but has a new leader... Xina, I wonder if she will follow in the footsteps of Drymon."
Mercenaries are all people who lick blood on the tip of a knife. , death can happen at any time.
Shake his head.
Duke no longer thought about whether it was there or not, he picked up the coffee cup and tasted it slowly. With Xiaoyi helping him to hang up and practice, he had a lot more leisure time to enjoy life.
Finished the coffee.
I got on my bicycle and walked around the town again. The iron fence on Third Street has been removed, the ground and roads have been leveled, and the foundations of the buildings have been laid.
Countless iron pillars were erected.
There are puppets with a ring-like structure that climb up and down along the iron pillars to transport construction materials, similar to tower cranes, making the entire construction site very fast.
Signs have been erected in front of some construction sites.
Duke glanced at it and found that there were messages about many businesses and institutions settling in.
"Forerunner Spiritual Material Acquisition Store, Powerful Spiritual Beast Trading Center, Atlan Pharmacy Store, Creeper Spiritual Insect Store, Card Warrior's Home, Mercenary Mission Center... With so many stores and institutions added, Snakehead Town is quickly heading towards Shenjiao The city has followed suit."
Among these construction sites, what attracted Duke the most was a huge fan-shaped foundation building in the middle of Third Vertical Street.
A tall sign reads "Black Snake Auction Center."
This means that this is the auction house established by the Black Snake family, and it currently seems to be the first and only auction house in Sheshou Town.
"During the Cuihai Valley development war, a large amount of resources will inevitably be captured, and they will be transported to Sheshou Town for the first wave of digestion and absorption... When I update it to 2 Ring Spirit Cards, I can also put them in the auction center for trading, and realize the changes. Quick."
After strolling around the Third Street under construction for a while, Duke returned to the farm.
When leaving the town, I saw a well-armed mercenary group on the gravel road outside the town.
The leading knight rides a spiritual beast that looks like a triceratops.
"It's the 2nd ring spirit beast - the Triangular Thunder Rhinoceros. It's a close relative of the 2nd ring spirit beast - the Fierce Horn Si. It's naturally compatible with the thunder element and can release a variety of thunder arcane spells." Xiao Yi explained to him in a timely manner.
"Is it a 2-ring spirit beast? In other words, it's still a great knight." Duke waited for the mercenary group to leave first.
Theoretically, as long as you have the ability, you can even forcibly contract with a 9th-level spirit beast. However, you still cannot break the shackles, and you can still only stay as a 1st-level great knight.
Only when spiritual beasts evolve into phantom beasts can they break through the 2nd level of phantom beast knights and advance their fighting spirit even further.
It is worth mentioning that the phantom beast is a strange variant of the spirit beast. When there is only a 1-ring spirit beast, the spirituality in the body has not yet been fixed, and it can evolve into a 2-ring phantom beast after contracting with a knight; if the spirit beast exceeds 1 ring, it is promoted to a 2-ring spirit beast, and the spirituality in the body is completely fixed, and there is no chance to evolve into a phantom beast.
but.
Perhaps it is not a good thing for spiritual beasts to evolve into phantom beasts.
Spirit beasts can continue to advance to higher levels, but phantom beasts are hindered by the contract knights, and the 2nd and 3rd levels are the end points.
certainly.
Most fantasy beasts, even if they do not contract with knights, may not be able to advance to a higher level. Unlike humans, spiritual beasts are basically born and raised and rarely break through their own bloodline level. Contracting with a knight may not be an opportunity.
…
Back at Little Duke Farm.
Levine was riding a tricycle, hauling plant ashes from outside the farm.
Because no one was cultivating the surrounding farms, they were covered with weeds. Taking advantage of the sunny weather during this period, Levin went over to harvest the weeds, pile them together, and burn them into ashes. Pull it back and use it as fertilizer for growing vegetables next year.
Duke has decided to circle a piece of land downwind as a vegetable garden.
Then we will raise some chickens, ducks and geese.
"Boss."
Levin said hello while riding his bike.
The five little ones were running wildly behind the tricycle. When they saw their owner, they immediately abandoned the tricycle and all gathered around Duke.
Wagging his tail, rubbing his pants, and sticking out his tongue.
"Stand at attention!"
"Woof woof!" The five little ones instantly lined up in a line, five side by side, quite majestic.
"Sit down!"
Duke ordered.
The five little ones all sat down together.
Duke is very satisfied with this. Spirit dogs have a little more intelligence than ordinary hounds, so they are easier to train. He signaled the five little ones not to move, then went into the wild and took out some dried meat. Each of them was rewarded with a piece of dried meat, but they were not allowed to eat randomly.
Instead, they had to listen to his order: "Keep it up and bite the dried meat in your mouth. You can only eat it if I let you eat it!" The
five little ones each bit the dried meat and looked at Duke eagerly.
It wasn't until three minutes passed that Duke smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat."
The five little ones immediately devoured the dried meat, tearing and biting it, as if they had been hungry for several days without eating, and finished the dried meat in an instant.
"Go play."
"Woof!"
Duke then returned to Biye, changed into a pair of slippers, and went up to the second floor.
"Chichi!" Xiao Dou jumped down from the corner of the roof and just landed on Duke's shoulder. It now has long hair and seems to be able to glide when jumping in the air.
There is no room for him in the pocket.
Duke rarely takes him out except for hunting. Although Kabuto has already contracted with other knights, he cannot contract with him again, but after all, he has a high probability of evolving into a phantom beast, so being discovered by outsiders will inevitably lead to trouble.
"Be good, I'll reward you with a piece of dried meat."
"Chiji!"
Xiao Dou, who got the dried meat, didn't start eating it immediately. Instead, he hid the dried meat in it with his big fluffy tail and pointed to the breeding room.
"What?"
"Jiji!"
I don't understand.
But Duke immediately followed Xiao Dou's direction and entered the breeding room.
Kabuto jumped up from his shoulders and landed accurately on the corridor. He walked along the railing of the corridor to where the orchids were planted.
The man stood up, pointed at the orchids and chirped.
Duke's eyes lit up. It turned out to be a small bud sticking out of the orchid.
"Xiaoyi, hang up the "Rainfall Breathing Method" and check the status of the orchid."
"Okay master, I have hung up the "Rainfall Breathing Method" for you." Xiao Yi just hung up and sensed the status of the orchid through the breathing method, "Congratulations to the master, the orchid has bloomed and has successfully sorted out the free spirit. , forming a spiritual aura."
"Haha, what an unexpected surprise!" Duke sat on the stool and slowly waited for Xiaoyi to use the breathing method to resonate with the ground orchid, cloud pines and foxtail vitex.
Nowadays, ground orchids can also sort out spiritual energy, and when combined with foxtail vitex, the spiritual aura is further expanded.
The operating efficiency of the "Field Meditation Method" has been slightly improved, and you can enjoy the spiritual aura even in the studio.
"While the weather is still good, we will explore the forest tomorrow and look for new spiritual plants."
