Demon Lord

This was unexpected and reasonable. Roddy thought that after the mission of [Devil's Calamity] was terminated by himself, the title reward of Rasiman Hero would disappear, but after the awarding ceremony, he I found this flashing title lying quietly in the title column:

rahiman hero

Effect: Your reputation in Rahiman Kingdom is raised to Revered

Effect: In the Land of Rahiman, your all attributes are increased by 10%

Effect: Increases your total mana by 5%

And the Laciman Hero Emblem is not an ordinary emblem, it also occupies an accessory slot, and after wearing it, you can get the Eagle Eye (Level 4) BUFF blessing.

The council now knows that Roddy is a good archer, so this is specially customized for him. Rody originally thought that he would not be able to use such skills after he had a combat stance of environmental sensitivity, but when he went to the top of the magic tower to feel the effect of the level 4 Eagle Eye, he realized that this trip was definitely for him. Personally, the most valuable harvest!

Environmental Acuity is the improvement of all senses. When this combat stance is activated, Rody can clearly see the posture and shape of passers-by 500 meters away. At this distance, ordinary people can't even distinguish the front and back of a person, basically only a vague shadow can be seen. And after wearing this emblem, the continuous Eagle Eye BUFF can even let Rody see clearly how many buttons this passerby has on his clothes!

It doesn't sound like a big difference, but for Rody who uses long-range weapons and spells, this is completely equivalent to a 20% increase in damage output in disguise!

In this sudden war, Rody gained three skills, a title, an emblem and millions of experience points. Counting the various treaties signed with the parliament, it can be said that he made a lot of money. Next, he just It is necessary to wait for the parliament to complete all the agreements before signing, and then the main purpose of this trip has been completed.

But besides that, he naturally has some other small plans.

*****

This is the weapon Lord Rody asked me to bring here. If your country thinks it needs it, you can naturally sign a trade contract on it.

In a small town south of Duriel, Khan Duke Jr. and Houdini secretly met in a hotel room. Because Rody himself has been participating in the discussions with the Rahiman Council, the task of secretly conducting trade with Bindu was directly handed over to Houdini by Rody.

In fact, this task is more suitable for Merlinsera, but she doesn't have a good impression of Duke.

He bluntly said that he didn't want to go. Just when he was hesitating, Houdini explained his future ideas and volunteered.

Only then did Rody realize that he had gained a magister. So without saying a word, he directly handed over the negotiations involving Efta to Houdini, proving his absolute trust in him.

But after going through so many incidents, Houdini would not just come here by himself. On the grounds that certain details need to be consulted, he hoped that Roddy would appoint someone to follow him at the same time. Regarding this, Rody also lamented that the old guy has learned to be smart now, and finally put Sylvia into the team symbolically, and let her go out to relax together.

So when Houdini was discussing with Duke, Sylvia was sitting in the back armchair in a daze.

Duke took the weapons from Houdini. These magic props mass-produced by Elson were not special supplies for the Dragonlance Knights and their subordinate troops, but mass-produced with the simplest enchantment. weapon. But even so, Duke's eyes are still full of love after he simply waved it twice...

There is no way, as a country on horseback, Bindu country does not have enough smelting technology background at all. The weapons they produce themselves are not even comparable to the blacksmith shop under Charles II. Most of them can only rely on plundering other countries to get what they want what to use.

The sharp blade in his hand is not only convenient, sharp and strong, but also contains magical effects. It took Duke a lot of effort to control himself from showing too much expression, but his straight eyes still revealed the desire in his heart.

What kind of material does the Karen Kingdom need in exchange? Magister Houdini, I think you know something about us, horses, fur? Or herbs?

Bindu country is indeed not rich. Compared with Eska country, their organizational structure is loose. Although they have strong combat power, they often break out conflicts with other countries due to continuous migration. With the continuous depletion of combat power, tradeable materials also appear to be somewhat scarce.

Master Roddy naturally wishes for more horses, but this certainly cannot be transported through Laximan's port...

Houdini and Duke talked for a long time, and the progress can be said to be very smooth. Excellent horses are a special product of the Bindu country, which Davidian and others have already experienced in the arena. The horses of the Bindu Kingdom are tall and explosive, and they are ideal horses for heavy cavalry charges. In Houdini's view, the fur herbal medicine was just an addition to this trade. The Kingdom of Karen exchanged excellent weapons and armor for war horses. Both parties were happy. The framework was established in two days and entered the final stage of negotiation and signing.

Lord Rody is currently having final discussions with the parliament and cannot come here to sign in person. He asked me to express his apologies to you on his behalf.

Houdini signed the agreement while talking, and at the same time stepped aside: Master Silvia, as a member of the Karen Kingdom delegation, also needs to sign here to prove the validity of the agreement.

No problem. Duke was very satisfied with the content of the agreement. In a good mood, he looked at the beautiful Sylvia, but his eyes suddenly settled down, and then he tilted his head to take a closer look.

His behavior made Houdini narrow his eyes slightly. After all, Melinsera beat Duke because of his frivolous remarks. Now if he provokes Sylvia again, how will he explain to Roddy when he goes back?

But before Houdini could stop him, Duke raised his head and asked seriously, May I ask, Mage Sylvia...is this the first time I have come to this continent?

This question made Houdini and Silvia startled at the same time, and then gave an affirmative answer.

Uh... please don't misunderstand, I have no other meaning. Seeing the expressions of the two, Duke immediately realized that there was some misunderstanding, and he smiled bitterly: I just suddenly remembered that among the tribes conquered by Bindu Kingdom A group of people look very similar to Master Sylvia. Ears here, and hair...

His words immediately made Sylvia's expression excited. If her heart could beat, she would probably be trembling by now. The high elf mage immediately asked: Like me? Where are they now?

Duke scratched the back of his head, with an unnatural expression on his face, he hesitated for a long time, and he couldn't hide what Sylvia asked, so he said the truth: They are a tribe conquered by the Bindu Kingdom, and now they have all been reduced to slaves. If you want to meet, you can actually buy a batch at a very cheap price...

Sylvia opened her mouth slightly with a complicated expression. She didn't know if what Duke was talking about was the legacy of the high elves, but it must have something to do with the high elves, but after making this judgment, she was indeed a little disappointed: the majestic high elves, a powerful race that controls the arcane , and now became a slave to a group of barbarians?

Seeing that Sylvia was in a daze, Houdini quickly took up the topic, and immediately decided: Then let the little Khan prepare a batch of slaves for us when he returns. Tentatively 50 people will be sent directly to Weiwei with the horses. How about Port Castle?

Duke naturally would not refuse the voice that came to his door. There is no such thing as human rights in this era. In the country of Bindu, the status of slaves and goods are the same. A magic long sword is exchanged for five strong male slaves or three fair-skinned female slaves, and the price is clearly marked.

Houdini supplemented the treaty, and returned quickly with Silvia after signing. The High Elf was in a trance along the way, and it was only then that she realized that when she encountered such a problem, the first thing she thought of was not Khadgar or the Magic Tower, but Rody.

This kind of thing, let's wait for the decision of the city lord.

Looking at the city of Duriel that was getting closer, she thought so.

*****

Is everything okay in the sea?

The offshore area has calmed down, and no other abnormalities have been seen for the time being.

By the small lake outside Duriel City, Melinthra, Akasha, and Naifei strolled on the stone road. This is a resort for most citizens to go outing. Recently, Rody was busy all day and couldn't care about anything else. Let's go out together.

Of course, it was said that they came out to relax, but it was actually because Akasha and Merlinsera found that Nai Fei had become taciturn in recent days. This little girl is Rody's darling. But the sister saw the problem, so he took her out to relieve his mood.

These murlocs seem to have a different way of thinking from humans. I can't understand their specific thoughts like I know Sylvia. The information is rather vague, so I can only make simple judgments.

Akasha sat on the stone bench by the lake with Naifei, and asked according to the discussed topic: Is there no way to break through the bottleneck?

Looking at the lake in front of her, Melinsera sighed and said, I don't have a clue yet... I always feel like I've entered a dead end, but there's no way around it, so take your time.

She turned her head and finally brought the question to the little girl who was bowing her head in thought: Little Naifei, why do I feel that the problems you are facing are more serious than mine? You haven't spoken these days, what's wrong with you?

ah?

Naifei raised her head when asked, then lowered her head again, and said in a low voice, It's nothing, it's just... I think I'm far from you.

Akasha and Melinsera looked at each other, and immediately knew what she was worrying about. In the previous battles, as a magician, Naifei really didn't have much strength. But this is something that can’t be helped, not to mention her, even those high-level magicians with strong Rahiman’s strength cannot play a decisive role in the battle like Akasha and Melinsera.

But that says nothing. High-end combat power is always the rarest resource, and the final competition in war is the overall strength. Examples like Rody who rely on experience to win by surprise are completely miracles. Those who have experienced war a little will understand that this kind of success is impossible to replicate.

And Nai Fei had this kind of thought, to blame can only be blamed for the concentration of outstanding talents around Rody. Surrounded by elites, even a genius like Naifei has the illusion of being worthless.

Akasha wanted to persuade Nefei when she opened her mouth, but was stopped by Melinsera's eyes. As an Element Envoy, she clearly belongs to the category of powerful seniors in Nefei's eyes, so what she says has more weight than others. She knows that Nefei's future is limitless, so she asked: Then you Any ideas?

I...I want to go to Mofengt College and learn how to make and manipulate puppets.

Naifei snapped her fingers, and followed in a low voice: But... I don't want to leave you either.

It's because you don't want to leave your brother Luo Di, right? Melinsella knew it in her heart, and made a joke on her mouth, which made Nefei's face suddenly embarrassed. Akasha understood what Melinsera meant, and said, There is no powerful magician who has grown up under the wings of others all his life. Why is your brother Luodi so powerful? Because he only brought eight people with him at the beginning. I went to attack the orcs on the grassland, Duke Luciferon didn't know him at that time.

Nafi didn't speak, but slowly clenched her hands.

*****

So...the country of Iskar is located on a plateau, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Rody, who was sitting in front of Doris and Eveli, frowned and wrote down a few key words with a feather note, You have developed in that remote area for decades just to engage in such an ancient sea beast invasion? The guy can’t be controlled by spells, if you ask me, it’s like playing with fire and setting yourself on fire.”

He paused, and continued to ask: By the way, has the person who asked you to carry out the mission changed in recent months?

The two Tuke women looked at each other in dismay. After a moment of hesitation, Eveli replied respectfully: Master, we haven't seen Thalia appear in the chamber since July. She declared that she was ill. So comfortable, but I'm afraid it's not that simple.

July…

Luo Di was slightly taken aback. Wasn't it July when the Devil's Gate was closed by him? Did that fluctuation affect them?

What happened during this time period, you two tell me carefully.

It’s okay if he didn’t ask, but when he asked, he found that there was indeed a lot of evidence in line with his guess: the mutation rate of demons in the sea increased, the number of murlocs demonized increased, and the abilities of many people in Iscar Kingdom suddenly increased...Obviously, Tuke The blood in the clan woman's body is inextricably linked with the devil!

Luo Di suddenly remembered what Nafie said when she saw them for the first time. At that time, the little girl felt that the colors in the bodies of these people were familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them. In fact, because the Tuke tribe is a thin-blooded version of the Tiefling!

All guesses were logical. Rody frowned and looked at the handwriting written on the straw paper, and began to ask carefully about the connection between Iska Kingdom and the demon.
