Green Monster Epic
#389 - One path to the end
Time passed quickly, and Alan's days were very fulfilling. With the signing of the armistice agreement, Alan and the other legendary figures had even greater freedom of movement.
Some had already begun their journey home, such as Taribo of the Snowme tribe, who, with the approval of the Commander's Office, was leading the remnants of his tribe back to Mansha City.
Before leaving, Taribo made a special trip to see Alan and chatted warmly with him, although the content of their conversation was not particularly meaningful. It was mainly to smooth over some of the awkwardness from their earlier interactions at Lake Killing Mao when discussing allocations.
Incidentally, Taribo also shared some information about the Ajinaga and Algone tribes, among other nearby tribes, reminding Alan to be wary of their movements.
Alan responded politely, as his tribe's value had increased significantly due to his growing reputation. In Alan's plans, he now had the leverage to maneuver among the surrounding tribes, playing them off against each other.
Especially after Alan learned about the situation of the Ajinaga tribe, he felt that the Greenwood tribe had a lot of room to maneuver. With the loss of Project Payment, their deity, the Oak Church would inevitably need to shrink their sphere of influence. Even if they maintained support for vassals like the Ajinaga, this support would largely remain verbal.
Having lost the vast influence of the Oak Church, the Ajinaga tribe had been one of the most active among the various envoys, communicating and liaising with other tribes, offering benefits to win over strong individuals and tribes to form alliances.
While the effect was not bad, the wilderness was, after all, a long and narrow geographical environment, and the influence of many of the tribes they wooed was too distant, so they might not be of much use when something really happened.
Therefore, the rise of the Greenwood tribe, a kindred tribe so close at hand, was perhaps an alliance that the Ajinaga tribe could strive for and that could provide great assistance.
Gareth also visited Alan frequently, but because Alan was busy tempering his body at the Great Falls and rarely appeared in the army, Alan had only interacted with him a few times. From his words, Alan could tell that he wanted to win him over, even offering the condition that their tribe would issue the recommendation letter for free when the Greenwood tribe's recommendation letter expired, which was indeed tempting to Alan.
The tribe's recommendation letter was actually not far from expiring, with only a little over a year left. Now, when Alan had nothing to do, he would recall how he and Kerr had worked together to fight on the prairie for the sake of the letter, and the results they had achieved. Now, he only needed to nod his head lightly, and the letter could be easily obtained. The difference was truly enormous!
However, Alan was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was still a long time before the expiration date, and he had plenty of time to consider. Moreover, he also wanted to see if the Ajinaga tribe could offer other favorable conditions in order to win him over.
As for the Snowme tribe, Alan felt that they would certainly not offer too many benefits. Perhaps changing masters after this time might not be a bad thing.
Regardless of these matters, Alan was now most concerned with hiding from Bridget while seizing every opportunity to temper his strength in the Great Falls. Alan was well aware that with the armistice agreement reached with the humans, the tribes currently stationed on the prairie would inevitably withdraw steadily. And existences like Alan would be dismissed earlier to return to Mansha City for rest and recuperation.
Sure enough, when the Human Allied Forces launched a surprise attack on the remaining hundreds of thousands of demons, completely wiping out this stubborn disease that had plagued the Feyman World for nearly ten years. Subsequently, the Allied Forces, victorious in their first battle, directly faced the Orc army that had fought bitterly for more than three years, killing more than 200,000 Orcs in a general offensive and capturing hundreds of thousands of square miles of territory.
Not long after learning of this news, Alan received a recall order issued by Commander Yalen.
That night, Alan packed his luggage and quietly slipped out of the military camp, heading straight for Mansha City. To avoid Bridget, who was like chewing gum, Alan had been living like a thief these days, without any joy.
Of course, after returning to Mansha City, Alan estimated that he would have to stay for a long time, because his merit statistics had to be verified by the City Lord's Mansion before he could exchange them for the things he needed at the exchange point under the City Lord's Mansion.
In addition to the 5,000 merit points initially promised to Alan, plus the demon legends killed with Nordin and Kagiso, the human legends he killed himself, and the various missions and heads, Alan's total merit points were more than enough to exchange for a legendary inheritance. Even in the Oak Temple, Alan had accumulated more than a hundred points of contribution, which could probably be exchanged for an ordinary advanced inheritance.
Now, Alan was already thinking about what kind of legendary specialization to choose.
As time slowly passed, Alan found the old elf Levi, whom Kaya had introduced to him, and had the legendary leather armor remodeled before putting it on. It had to be said that this leather armor had wind-breaking properties, and the daily blessing of three light body techniques greatly improved Alan's strength.
Of course, this leather armor, which could be called legendary equipment, also had an extremely outstanding effect, that is, after Alan wore it, it would merge with nature, having the same effect as the Blur spell. If the wearer of this leather armor was a thief, then his stealth level would directly increase by one level, comparable to a divine artifact.
It was a pity that Alan was originally a berserker, and the magical effect of this leather armor was really a waste for him, and it was a bit tasteless.
However, Alan did not dislike it. He happened to be short of a protective armor. In addition to these attributes, the legendary leather armor also had excellent defensive effects, especially the wind-breaking attribute, which could maximize Alan's speed. The only slightly unsightly place was that the front of the leather armor originally wrapped Eunica's plump pair, which could not be eliminated, so it made Alan's pectoral muscles look particularly developed.
But if someone pressed Alan's chest with their fingers, they would know that this place was hollow.
As for that necklace, although it looked a bit awkward when Alan wore it, the daily ice shield technique that could withstand a legendary attack was enough for Alan to hang it directly around his neck regardless of other people's eyes. Not to mention that in addition to the ice shield technique, the necklace also had the effect of concentrating the mind, which could make Alan's will more firm and more resistant to mental spells such as fear and temptation.
As for the dark gold heavy sword that had been hidden in Alan's dimensional bag for a long time, its own attributes were finally identified: the armor-breaking attribute was very rare, which could allow Alan to inflict greater damage on his opponent when he split it; the abyssal power additional damage was a double-edged sword, because as a creature of the Feyman world, as the owner of this weapon, he was actually invisibly receiving the erosion of the abyssal power. The damage to the body caused by this accumulation over time would even affect the owner's later life and combat effectiveness.
"If the guest is willing to give up this long sword, then our shop can melt it into your current weapon to improve the weapon's rank."
Alan found the owner of this blacksmith shop, who was a dwarf. Their long beards were their symbol. At this time, they were combed into small braids to avoid being burned by splashing sparks, and at the same time, they looked very clean and neat.
The dwarf's name was Borrett Copperbeard. At this time, he held the dark gold giant sword in Alan's hand and said with great regret.
Because of the side effects of the dark gold long sword, Alan originally hoped to replace it with a more powerful weapon, but now it was in vain. However, when he heard Borrett's suggestion, Alan's eyes suddenly lit up again.
"Are you sure you can?"
The Bone Splitter was, after all, a weapon specially prepared for Alan by the tribe with more than 5,000 gold coins. He had been using it for so many years, and Alan was indeed a little reluctant to give it up. Now, it was really possible to continue to improve the power of the Bone Splitter, which was naturally good, even if he had to consume this dark gold heavy sword in his hand for this purpose.
"Of course, this dark gold giant sword should be mixed with gold essence, a very rare material, and some abyssal cold iron. To be honest, the level of casting is really too poor, even inferior to the weapon craftsmanship you are currently using. The only good thing is that its material is excellent. If the gold essence and cold iron in it can be extracted and integrated into your own weapon, with my craftsmanship, it will be at least a high-level magic weapon."
"Moreover, I see the degree of wear and tear on the weapon in your hand. You should have been using it for some years, right?"
"Yes."
Alan looked at Borrett admiringly, never expecting that the other party could even see this.
"If you agree to recast the weapon in your hand, I will tell you a secret, how about it?"
Borrett rarely saw a weapon with such precious materials as the dark gold heavy sword. He was obsessed with casting and had a few inspirations for a while, hoping to use Alan's materials and his own inspiration to create another excellent weapon. Of course, he could also make a profit by the way, which was a good thing.
"What secret?"
Alan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was a little uneasy.
"This secret is a condition, bear goblin. I will only tell you after you agree to my request."
Borrett was not afraid that Alan would not be hooked, and looked arrogantly at the blazing furnace in his blacksmith shop.
"... Okay, I agree."
Alan thought for a while, feeling that his worth was different from the past, and the Bone Splitter was indeed no longer suitable for his current use.
"Then please pay 1,000 gold coins for the labor fee and 500 gold coins for purchasing other auxiliary materials first."
Borrett's eyes lit up, and he stretched out a thick hand with a smile on his lips, but he could only reach Alan's waist.
"..."
Alan was silent for a long time, and finally took out some money and some scattered jewelry from the dimensional bag. After the two carefully counted them together, Borrett quickly put them into his own dimensional bag.
"Let me tell you, kid, the true artifacts recorded in the Feyman world are often weapons that the gods frequently used before they became gods."
"The strongest magical equipment our dwarven craftsmen have created so far is only a demigod artifact."
"According to the research of our dwarven blacksmiths over generations, a weapon used by a person year after year, each time imbued with spirit and their own energy, is a tempering of that weapon. The longer a weapon is used, the easier it is to be reforged and advanced."
"Of course, we haven't fully grasped the specific secrets within, but I can tell you that if the greatsword in your hand is really as you say, and has been washed by your rage and mental power for more than ten years, then I'm about eighty percent certain that I can at least advance it to a high rank."
"… …"
Allen knew little about forging. The gray dwarves, like Manduri, who were cultivated in the tribe, were quite complex in their thinking and hadn't fully opened their hearts to the tribe yet, so naturally, they wouldn't tell Allen these secrets. Perhaps this had a lot to do with Manduri's life underground.
Of course, the reason Borrett told Allen this secret was actually very simple. The so-called artifacts were too distant and illusory for ordinary people like them. The only benefit of this secret was perhaps to make Allen more confident in this reforging. This was also why Borrett felt a little eager after seeing Allen's two longswords.
"Alright, I've told you the secret. Next, I'm going to seclude myself to forge this weapon. Come and get your sword in ten days!!"
Just as Borrett took the Bone Cleaver from his hand and the dark gold greatsword from the table, and began to issue an eviction order, the legendary aura that Allen had been suppressing suddenly overflowed, enveloping Borrett in a two-meter radius. Immediately, Borrett's relaxed movements became heavy and serious.
"L-Lord!"
At this moment, Borrett seemed to finally recognize Allen's identity, looking at Allen with panic in his eyes, revealing a bit of hesitation and pleading.
"I just hope you don't play tricks on me. I'll come to you in ten days, no matter where you are!"
After tempering himself at the Great Falls for more than a month, Allen's control over his aura and rage became more and more skillful. At this time, with frost on his face, he issued a deterrent to Borrett, only telling him not to play small tricks, and not because he had any ulterior motives.
"Definitely!! Definitely!! Farewell, Lord!!"
Borrett never expected that the seemingly simple-minded earth bear goblin would actually be a legendary powerhouse. He had been in Mansa City for more than ten years and had seen most of the legends in the wilderness, but none of them had Allen's face.
He didn't know if it was luck or misfortune that a legendary powerhouse would come to him to forge weapons. Shouldn't they have specialized partners? Why would he come to an ordinary blacksmith shop like Borrett's to forge weapons?
Indeed, generally speaking, behind legendary powerhouses, there were powerful tribes and forces. They didn't need to be like Allen, going to a blacksmith shop in the city to find a craftsman to forge weapons.
Whether it was the City Lord's Mansion, the Temple of Nature, or even some powerful tribes, they all had specially trained forging masters, whose skills were much more reliable than those of ordinary blacksmiths.
It wasn't that Allen hadn't thought about going to the Oak Temple, but now the relationship between the Oak Church and Allen was somewhat delicate because of their new church in Green Lake Village, so Allen didn't want to forge his powerful weapon, which he would use for a long time in the future, in the temple.
In any case, the quality of a weapon was related to a warrior's combat power in battle, and no carelessness was allowed, especially when there were huge interests between them. Allen had never hesitated to look at the people and forces around him with the worst intentions.
Perhaps this was the abyss's influence on Allen after Kaya's betrayal.
Taking advantage of these ten days, Allen went to the City Lord's Mansion several times and finally confirmed his merit points. After a careful audit by the City Lord's Mansion, Allen's final merit points earned over the past year were 21,035, which was enough to exchange for a legendary inheritance.
Now that his merit points had been confirmed, without further delay, Allen went directly to the City Lord's exchange office and found the receptionist to begin his treasure hunt.
Several legendary inheritances prepared in the City Lord's warehouse had already been exchanged. By the time Allen arrived, there were only less than 10 legendary feat inheritances left on the account books. After carefully reading the introductions on them, Allen was somewhat disappointed. The legendary inheritances above were too common and ordinary, such as armor skin, damage reduction, and so on...
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable. After all, truly valuable legendary feats could not be easily released to the market.
In the end, it was better than nothing. Anyway, Allen's proficiency in Devastating Strike was already quite good, and it was estimated that he would be able to master it completely in a few years, just like the previous Mastery of Heavy Blows, becoming his instinct. Now, it would be a good choice to also cultivate a feat in his spare time, which would be a good way to pass the time.
Of the ten feats, besides those that were not suitable for Allen's development path, and some that were too chicken ribs, Allen finally set his sights on the seventh inheritance crystal.
Super Heavy Blows Feat: On the basis of the legendary body, use a more effective way of gathering power to enhance the heavy blow effect and double the power of the heavy blow.
This feat made Allen's eyes light up. His current feats ranged from ordinary Two-Handed Sword Mastery - Mastery of Heavy Blows - to the legendary feat Devastating Strike, plus the Berserker talent skill Frenzy, all of which were based on instantaneous explosive power suppression. At the same time, the sword skills he had researched, whether it was Threefold Wave or Rage Heavy Chop, and even the new move Ground Crack Chop, which had a preliminary form, were all about maximizing explosive power.
Since his talent was in heavy blows, why not continue to go to the extreme on this path?
Thinking of this, Allen no longer hesitated, directly pointing to the description of Super Heavy Blows on this page of the account book, and said in a deep voice: "I want to exchange this legendary crystal."
"Okay, Lord, this crystal requires 16,500 merit points. After deducting it, you still have 4,535 merit points."
The earth goblin recorder first drew a stroke on the Super Heavy Blows feat on the account book, and at the same time quickly calculated Allen's remaining merit points in his mind.
"Lord, do you need to exchange for anything else?"
"More than 4,500 points? Then I'll take a look again!!"
Allen put down the account book of legendary crystals, turned his head and flipped through the account book of ordinary crystals. After carefully checking, he pointed to two pages and said: "I want these two inheritances."
"Okay."
The recorder made a record and turned to go to the warehouse in the backyard to apply for the three crystals he specified for Allen.
After spending all the merit points he had worked so hard to earn, Allen not only didn't feel any heartache, but instead felt quite good, because he had actually seen a mage inheritance on the ordinary inheritance, and he made a choice without hesitation at the time. As for the other inheritance crystal, Allen chose the introductory alchemy crystal, but it was not a professional inheritance.
Over the years, the village had collected various knowledge books scattered around and then established a library, which could be freely read by the villagers. Among them, there were some miscellaneous books that recorded some simple alchemy techniques.
Originally, Allen just felt that the more knowledge, the better it would be for the enlightenment of the villagers, but he didn't think about how much they could gain specifically. However, as the new generation of children gradually learned to read and write, they gave Allen some small surprises. Among them, the earth goblin teenagers actually made some simple alchemy tools through several of those simple alchemy techniques, which really surprised Allen and also made him feel very gratified.
The earth goblins' minds were flexible, which was obvious to all. They learned everything very quickly in the village, and at the same time, they could summarize experience and improve technology on the basis of the original technology. For example, Jem, the human farmer who once taught the earth goblins to farm, and florists, their planting skills were now more skilled than the earth goblins they taught.
Since the earth goblins were clumsy in battle, but their minds were flexible, then they should give play to their strengths and combine their flexible minds and nimble hands. It was a pity that alchemy books were very rare and expensive, and inheritance crystals were even something that Allen couldn't access before. Now that he finally had one, Allen would naturally find a way to get it.
The only thing that Allen felt was a pity was that the introductory alchemy crystal, according to the introduction, was for making some alchemy tools, such as flame traps and explosion traps. If it was magic potion alchemy, it would be perfect.
You should know that although the scale of selecting suitable terrain to plant magic potion plants in the Green Field Plain has not been large in recent years, it has reached a certain scale, at least enough to cultivate a magic potion alchemist. Now the village has magic potion plants, but lacks complete magic potion alchemy knowledge, and in the end, they are collected and sold to Thornsburg at a low price to earn a meager profit.
The ordinary inheritance exchange at the City Lord's Mansion was not cheap either. The two crystals cost Allen 4,000 merit points, and Allen left the remaining 500 points for future exchanges for other needs.
Finally, after coming to the Oak Temple and exchanging the more than one hundred contribution points he had accumulated for a Ranger inheritance crystal, Allen finally relaxed and rested in the small courtyard rented by Roberta and the others.
This time Allen came out of the mountain and gained a lot. The inheritance crystals that used to take a lot of effort and effort to exchange for, now Allen can easily exchange for two or three, and the difference is indeed not small. This is also in line with the rules of the wilderness, the strong are always strong. After reaching his position, it is indeed not difficult to obtain ordinary inheritance crystals.
