Chapter 38
The Tough Thirty Days (Five)
Well, in the end I couldn't help but sit in front of the computer to write and my plan to rest was eliminated, because I found that I couldn't think of other ways of playing except typing. Is this a sad thing?
Please give me comfort tickets to Children's Day
Listening to the crying in the courtyard, Mark Hedi kept frowning. He knew which children were scared by his murderous intent. But it was not just these annoying sounds that caused him to be distressed, but because he was almost out of money.
In order to raise the expenses for the Holy Lake, Makhdi had exchanged the last little savings for the food and water used on the road. Since he got the first map drawn by Chen Kai and the others, the things on it were the most complete, so Makhdi needed to prepare the most. The cost of food and water alone was twice as much as Nasali's demon troops, not only because his men consumed more people to the Holy Lake, but because he got a lot of tips on the map. Chen Kai and the others marked almost all the dangers encountered on the road on the map, so compared to those demons who only got a simple map and other people who peeped at the Holy Lake, Makhdi had a deeper understanding of the danger level of that road.
On the map, some monsters identified by Chen Kai and the others are extremely powerful, and it will take a long time for Makhdi to deal with them. Even if they may not meet the standards of the Sanctuary, their strong vitality is actually more terrifying than some Sanctuary species. Their attack power is not necessarily very strong, but it is definitely very resistant to beating, especially the monsters identified on the map that Chen Kai calls the rock giant bull. After reading the introduction marked on the map, Makhdi thought of notes in his mind, but the steel rock giant beast with the same appearance and strength. Of course, the two are actually the same species, but Chen Kai is named after the other party's rock skin and cow horns, and Makhdi's memory comes from the knowledge accumulation of Khedira adventurers over thousands of years.
The steel rock giant beast is at least five meters tall. Although it has an extremely gentle personality, especially when Chen Kai records the information, he does not provoke the other party at that time, and his strength is too low. In the eyes of the steel rock giant beast, Chen Kai and the others are like little ants at their feet. Humans do not pay much attention to ants except when they are bored. The same steel rock giant beast has the same attitude towards Chen Kai and the others. So even if Chen Kai is very close, it ignores the other party. As soon as it comes, its personality
The more gentle and tame people, they will attack weaker creatures, and the second is that Chen Kai and the others have not entered the recipe of the Steel Rock Behemoth. After all, being gentle does not mean not eating meat. There are no monsters who do not eat meat in the wild of Khedira. The only difference to judge whether they are tame is that there are too many people for the weak. Tempered carnivores do not have the idea of weak creatures because in their opinion, the meat of weak creatures cannot provide them with sufficient nutrition. The higher the living organism, the more picky the needs of food, and of course it refers to the nutrients rich in food rather than taste.
You should know that the weight of the steel rock beast itself exceeds ten tons. The energy consumed by such a part is very large. Although ordinary meat can provide a certain amount of energy, it is definitely not enough for it to consume itself. Therefore, in the recipe of the steel rock beast, there is no food strength lower than the seventh level. Even if the demon enters its vision, as long as it exceeds the seventh level, it will become the object of its prey. The most terrifying point is that the steel rock beast is proficient in earth movement, a talented spell that can rely on the high speed of the earth vein network on the ground. As one of the few earth element life bodies in the Khedira plane. The steel rock beast is called the faithful mount of the earth goddess pet by the demons of Khedira. Of course, when mentioning the earth goddess, the demons are definitely gritting their teeth, so they also grit their teeth for this life called the earth goddess pet and the mount. But that is definitely not hated, but caused by fear.
As long as high-level demons enter its field of vision, it is rare to escape. As long as high-level humans enter its field of vision, they cannot escape. However, compared with humans, the steel rock giant beasts prefer demons. After all, human flesh is slightly less than demons, and the energy richer is slightly less. Even Makhdi himself will have a headache when facing the steel rock giant beast. First of all, what he needs to be troubled is the opponent's defense. The outer skin of its magic steel armor is enough to block most physical attacks. Weapons with sharp values below eight cannot tear open their outer skin, but weapons with sharp values of eight are almost all concepts of high-level holy weapons.
In fact, most of the physical system's holy weapons cannot reach a sharp value of more than eight points, and there are only three weapons of quality like Khedira. One has been buried underground with the fall of Sulasha, and the other is held in Makhedi's hand, which was passed down by his father. The demons also have one, but it is damaged. It is said that it was left after the death of the original Khedira's demon lord. This weapon is more suitable for being called a demon weapon, held in Nasali's hand, but this weapon cannot break the outer skin of the steel rock beast, because the damage is the blade. So even Nasali does not want to kill the other party easily when facing the steel rock beast, and may even run away if she sees the other party.
At the same time, according to the situation described by Chen Kai, at least three steel rock beasts formed a small family to wander on the road to the Holy Lake. This situation made Makhdi necessary to let Casgate and others carry more supplies to stay away from the area where the steel rock beasts are located. After all, once the steel rock beasts can use terrain, even human cavalry riding special mounts cannot escape immediately. Unless they directly abandon the supplies and choose to fly, that will cause them to get into extreme trouble on the road behind. At the same time, horses and horses
Not everyone in the team sent by Kehedi would fly. The powerful people in the Holy Realm are very rare in Khedira, especially humans who have begun to decline. Only Kasgate in the team sent by Makhedi could barely reach the threshold of the Holy Realm, so he specially suppressed all the demons at the moment of leaving the city, making them dare not attack Kasgate's team. But Makhedi knew that this situation was only useful for Kasgate and the others left Kasgate's city for two or three days.
The ** masters in the tower did not know that their apprentices increased the city's food by twice the price and sold it. They did not know that those who only communicated with the water element plane would have endless water sources and used for the water will be sold at a higher price by their students. They did not know that their immersion in the plane magic array research caused the entire mage tower to lose control. They gradually became corrupt and degenerate from the original neutral existence. The apprentices they trusted gradually changed the neutral position of the mage tower under the demon's yin*.
Slowly leading to a terrible direction. Those masters who study plane teleportation magic have no idea about all this. They only know that their apprentices provide all the research materials they need, and at the same time provide a large amount of materials for research, which further increases the power of the elemental power in the mage tower. Those masters do not know that all this comes from their apprentices' exploitation of the people in the city. Even the demons are tired of the gradually greedy mage apprentices, because what they need is increasingly beyond the demon's bottom line.
Unfortunately, all these high-ranking mage apprentices didn't know at all. They were still glad that there were more and more magic crystals in their pockets, and they were still happy that the succubus provided by the demons became more and more beautiful, and even more glad that their mentors were still immersed in the research of teleportation arrays. Makhdi saw the situation of those mage apprentices. Unfortunately, every time he protested to those mages, these mentors were cleared of themselves like good babies, and eventually led to those mages who thought that Makhdi was slandering his apprentices, which made the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Mage Tower increasingly tense. There was no way out for this, Makhdi could only continue to endure those increasingly greedy mages. Now he had to face a new problem, that is, to take care of those deformed children, he needed a lot of food, but Makhdi, who had no funds, could not get food.
"Do you have to use that lake to exchange with those greedy mages?" Makhdi opened his drawer and placed half a bottle of blue lake water in the drawer. Looking at the half bottle of lake water, Makhdi couldn't help feeling a little guilty, because he told Chen Kai and the others that it was the lake water to treat those demonized patients of Hedira, but in the end he handed over the lake water to his subordinates, and only Casgate and others for drinking. After drinking the lake water, the soldiers under Makhdi's soldiers were strengthened to a certain extent, and the demonization symptoms that bothered them were even disappeared. Moreover, Casgate, the most powerful, even reached the Holy Domain.
The edge. It only takes a little time to become the new sword saint of Khedira, and the first pure human sword saint among Khedira. Even so, Makhedi still feels a little sorry for Chen Kai and the others' trust. After all, the other party handed over the lake because he believed in him. But now he not only cannot fulfill his promise, but also had to want the other party under the pressure of the demons in Khedira City. Thinking of this, Makhedi couldn't help but want to close the drawer, but when the drawer was halfway closed, he stopped again, because the sound of those deformed children came from his ears again, all of which were tortured by hunger.
Listening to the crying of the children, Mark Hedi's hand, which was about to close the drawer, stopped again. Some pictures kept flashing in his mind. Finally, he sat back on his chair dejectedly and took out the remaining half-bottle of the Holy Lake water with his trembling hands.
"Sorry, forgive me." With a hint of guilt towards Chen Kai and the others, Makhdi stuffed the half bottle of lake water into his pocket. Then Makhdi put on his only pretty good clothes. Although the appearance of this dress is glossy, its lining is already covered with patches. In fact, if Makhdi had not been wearing it carefully, this only good clothes might have been completely destroyed many years. If this dress was not made of special materials and had been carefully preserved by him, Makhdi would have to wear linen clothes like those children.
As he walked out of the city lord's mansion, Makhdi was in a very heavy mood. The hungry humans on the streets walked by from time to time. Originally, these people would greet him friendly, but as Makhdi had enough money to save him, fewer and fewer people could help him. Therefore, those who greeted him gradually treated him with cold faces. Of course, at some point they would greet him friendly, but Makhdi keenly noticed the coldness under these friendly faces. Makhdi had no other thoughts about these eyes, except for helplessness. He didn't know why some humans hated him, and he couldn't even understand why he did so much for Khdira's humanity. Why are human beings getting weaker and weaker now?
With these helpless thoughts, Makhdi gradually approached the highest building in Khedira City, located in the mage tower in the south of the city. Compared with other parts of the city, Khedira's mage area may be the most beautiful and prosperous place. The people who come and go here are camel beasts carrying supplies. After all, most of the plant food in Khedira is produced here. Wherever Makhdi's eyes are two huge spell greenhouses covering an area of fifty acres. The two greenhouses are planted with food enough to satisfy the use of the entire Khedira population. With the power of spells, hundreds of tons of wheat and barley are planted every week. There are several small houses at the entrance of the two greenhouses, which are the places for the sale of grain. However, what makes Makhdi strange is that the brightly dressed tutors here have disappeared, and some are just a few listless gatekeepers.
Looking at the janitors, Makhdi suddenly felt that the air in the entire mage area was a little wrong. Although he had a poor talent for spells, he could still clearly feel the magic elements in the air, which was the breath that was left after the release of some high-level spells.
