The long absence of military service made Locke feel as if he had returned to the days when he had been in the army as a teenager.
As soon as he looked back, Rock suddenly realized that he was twenty-two, which was a bit surreal.
Because of the relationship of being students of the Imperial Royal Academy, Locke's knights were certainly not participating in the army as ordinary big-headed soldiers.
It was the same ten-man squad from back then, this but this time, Rock was leading a hardened group of entry-level squires under him.
The O'Moore Empire in this regard, to do more than twice as strong as the Kingdom of Faustian, in the barracks, as long as when enough two years of soldiers, have the opportunity to obtain a copy of the fighting qi gong method.
This was news that Locke had just learned on his second day as a member of this squad.
Unparalleled shock, the fighting qi feats that were cherished as treasures by the nobles in the Kingdom of Faus
"I know where to get one of those." Bender pulled Locke aside and said quietly."Not interested." Locke pushed past Bender and rejoined the group.It was true that blood essence would have a not-so-small increasing effect on them, the middle-ranked retainers, but the drawbacks were not small either, as Locke had learned from the books that blood essence would form impurities in a person's body, which would be harmful to the advancement of their strength in the future.There were quite a few treasures that could boost the chances of success in advancing, and Locke was guilty of not dying on this tree."Hey, hey, hey," Bender replied after him, seeing that he hadn't attracted Locke, "It's the kind of blood essence that has very few side effects on the body."This, in turn, made Locke a bit more interested in what Bender had to say about blood elixirs, and turned to look at Bender, waiting for his next narrative."I'll take you to get it when we get
A quest palimpsest called 'Saline Forest Trial' appeared in front of Locke.All seven members of the squad above, except Locke, had their academy badges imprinted, and now all that should be missing was his.Without much questioning, Locke directly pressed his academy badge, only waiting for tomorrow to hand in some at the mission hall, the mission will be established.Angelina's name was also listed, and Locke was sure she would explain herself in detail.After lingering in the mansion for a while, the crowd gradually left, Henry and Chris looked at the giant bear skin hanging on the central wall of the living room and tsked, the two of them just didn't recognize the stone system of the mountain brown bear, and they could also tell from the bear's physique, the horrifying strength of its life.It was at least an intermediate level magical beast, and possibly one with extremely outstanding defense and strength, the two thought in their hearts.Loo
In front of the rolling mountain range, a fence ten meters high ran through it, separating the forest on that side of the range from the road on this side.The Ink Crystal Mountain Range Post, where a full two thousand Imperial soldiers were stationed.After displaying the mission statement issued by the Princeton Royal Academy and paying the tax for entering the stagecoach, Joaquin and his squad were allowed to enter.Although it was an ordinary post in the Saltine Forest, the completely militarized management rules made all those who entered the place unconsciously infected by it, puffing out their chests and harboring respect for the mighty power of the empire.It was only yesterday that Locke had just learned that this Saltine Forest they were about to enter was a place where super-ranked magical beasts existed, and that the O'Moore Empire, hundreds of years ago, had assigned heavy troops to surround the Saltine Forest.Those fences were the boundar
Because of the extra deterrent of the little scorpion dragon Angie, the group managed to reach the first campsite before night came.This is marked on the map there is a remarkable inverted slanting cliffs, hard gray-white cliff walls, blocked from the cold wind from the night, in this place to temporarily stay a night, is a good choice.Several magicians had set up tents to live on the innermost part of the cliff because they were women, while Locke and the three of them, the three knights, were required to keep watch outside at night, wrapped in sleeping bags.Build a fire, cook, set up a tent, and set up a cordon. While the crowd was busy, the little scorpion dragon Angel dug up a half meter long red centipede from somewhere, only to see it stuffing it into its mouth while the centipede was still quivering.Arthropods had one characteristic, their vitality, and unfortunately, this big red centipede's vitality allowed it to enjoy its death for a little whil
Making a casual walk, Locke walked over to a bush not far from Joaquin and pretended to police the perimeter.This woman really had something fishy, standing in front of the giant tree, dilly-dallying for half a day, even Daini, a petite girl, went up with the help of Angelina and the others, and she still hadn't moved a step."Joaquin, come up here!" Angelina's sleeping bag was in another tree next to Joaquin's, and she was carried up by Locke at the very beginning."I'll take another look around for anything special." Joaquin replied, and Angelina didn't think too much about it, and went straight into her sleeping bag, they were both exhausted today, especially in terms of mental energy, and needed to rest and replenish it.Only Bob and Chris were now left under the tree, both of them didn't need to keep watch tonight because of their injuries, but they had to make a good cordon and trap before they could go up to the tree to sleep.Locke's gaze never
The nightly feast of killing by the mud puddle did not disturb the sleeping crowd above.Partly because Locke was well protected, and partly because the battles and encounters of the past few days had strained the nerves of everyone in the squad to the breaking point.Everyone but Locke should have gotten a good night's sleep last night.It wasn't as if Locke hadn't participated in the fight under the tree at all, and he already had several more pieces of magical beast's leather and magic crystals in his spatial ring.Most of them were from low-level magical beasts, magical creatures that wouldn't appear in such a place deep in the saline forest, while the intermediate-level magical beasts, strutting after rehydrating, all left the mud puddle.Locke also did not want to create more right and wrong, last night's chaotic fight, but he did not have a piece of it, at most, he took the opportunity to grab a few pieces of magical beast limbs and magic crystal
Not all of the green birds of prey ate Blue Star Grass either, and a few of the larger birds whose physiques were clearly easy for their counterparts flew straight towards the trunk of the tree where the Magic Condensation Fruit was growing.The red Magic Condensation Fruit didn't seem to be very attractive to these large green flying birds, and after only eating two or three of them, they stopped eating and instead flew to the ground, grabbing the seeds of the Blue Star Grass with the many flying birds."Coo, coo!" The birds of prey weren't a harmonious scene when they were feeding, fighting and grabbing food kept happening in this meadow, but surprisingly consistently, none of the birds of prey went to mess with the big ones.It was as if those large flying birds, were their leaders."Oh no, it's Greenbrier Valley!" Angelina said in a lowered voice to Joaquin next to her, her eyes not leaving the patch of sod where Locke was hiding until now."Don't b
The blood of the Frost Giant Crocodile was likewise, and after it was made into a potion and taken by Daini, even this girl's body was emitting a cold aura, and her strength was even stronger than before."Cloud of Intoxication!" This was Mina's magic, the name of this magic was overbearing, but in reality, it didn't have much effect on the large Cymbals that were already close to intermediate magical beasts, at most, it would slow down their consciousness by a few points and reduce their flight speed a little.But that's enough!Several spells, one after the other, slammed into the several Green Buguas that were chasing after them, and apart from the one that was killed by Locke, the remaining four, almost every one of them, took a different amount of magic damage.Among them, the fireball spell released by Joaquin and Angelina was the most powerful, two rolling fireballs, not only did they cause notable damage to the green bugues they each hit, the flames a
