Warhammer Throne

Ryan's hand first walked eastward along Nord's royal capital, Winter City. After passing through a large number of towns and forests along a large road, his fingers came to a place covered by white desert on the map: " The first way is to go east to Keith Avenue, at the end is the giant snowy desert left by the original wizard empire-Tazier Desert, and then through the roof of the world dominated by dwarves, to the dark world, where is the worship of chaos In the huge wasteland ruled by the chaos ogres, Belt can find his home there...but he didn’t take that road because the road is too far away, which is more than two thousand kilometers long, and Taki This place is a barren land. There are only three cities in the area close to two-thirds the size of Nord. There are no towns and villages. Most of the land is severely polluted by alchemy and cannot be cultivated, so it is extremely difficult to obtain supplies. , And then even if Belt passes through Tazir, the dwarves guard the Roof of the World Mountains, it is difficult for him to pass. The countless complex mountain paths and underground tunnels are enough to make Belt crazy, so we can basically rule him out. There is a possibility of a road, and the fact is just as we imagined, Belt chose to go west."

Everyone nodded, no one would choose to go to Tazier.

"Second, go west, go north, go through the port of Lapland to the Chaos Wasteland, and meet the northern barbarians who are entrenched there." Ryan touched his chin and shook his head as well: "This is a choice, but it's from the north. Every port has heavy troops from the Nord Kingdom, and every ship going to the Chaos Wasteland will encounter severe investigations. Based on Belt’s rich experience, he would never choose to take such a big risk, Cthulhu His will will make him violent, but it won’t make him stupid."

"Then the remaining choice is..." Ryan's hand continued to move westward along the Mein Forest, and everyone's eyes moved along with it. I saw Ryan's finger pointing on the Adar River, which runs through the Mein Forest, and following it. The Adar River flows down, and after passing through a few villages, Ryan's fingers came to a port city.

"Karlzenhaven?" Teresa's beautiful silver pupils widened slightly, her lips vomiting lightly, and she whispered.

"Well, this is Belt's third way, which is to go to the sea from the western port of Nord and find a way to the south. Belt’s belief in Brittany and the mighty empire of fairies in the lake is naturally beyond the scope of Belt’s consideration. Inside, the belief is chaotic, and the southern country where the evil **** of chaos is publicly worshipped as a god, or the mainland's largest port and trading center, Marienburg, where people come and go, is where Belt wants to go."

"Mr. Lane is right, but this does not mean that Belt will definitely go to sea in Kalzenhaven?" Wilt raised his own question.

"It is true, if there is no such thing." Ryan took out a piece of **** paper from his arms.

That was the death message written by the dead old witcher in blood: "Belt X Aesthetic Club."

"Aesthetic society?! Isn't that... Isn't that an organization established in Marienburg by a group of scholars and socialites who are famous for spreading beauty?" Teresa opened her mouth in surprise, and she couldn't believe it.

Aesthetics Club is a well-known organization on the mainland. This organization is composed of a large number of attractive upper-class people who behave very carefully and follow fashion trends. They advocate the pursuit of "beauty" and lead people to "love and harmony."

"Yes, it seems that because Belt’s defection involves more and deeper secrets, no one thought of holding regular salons, sponsoring art groups in more than a dozen cities in ten years, and giving countless art youth training opportunities. It has something to do with Chaos." Ryan's brows tightened: "We have no way to be sure that Belt will go to Kalzenhaven, but I can be sure that he will go to the west port and take a boat to Marienburg!"

"And our opponent is already one day away from us. As long as he heads to the west port to go out to sea on a starry night, and then hides at the junction of Marienburg and Weimeihui, then it will be difficult for us to trace his trail."

Everyone frowned.

Marienburg was originally part of the empire, or it is now part of the empire. This port is located where the three major rivers of the empire meet. It is the number one port in the world. Marienburg has unique geographical conditions. A plain, pleasant climate, suitable for living, and dangerous terrain-a deep-water port capable of handling tens of thousands of tons is surrounded by two peninsulas, and the mountains on one side are a natural barrier.

Tens of thousands of caravans go to and from Marienburg every year, and amazing gold flows into this huge oil-rich port city, but rarely flows out. It is the Iris family that rules Marienburg, Marienburg The Grand Duke is most likely the richest person in the world, because very few forces can give orders to him. After the second Chaos Invasion ended 150 years ago, the reformed new empire was awaiting prosperity. At this time, the previous Grand Duke of Marienburg suddenly found Ludwig. He took out an astonishing wealth. It is reported that it was at least ten years of fiscal revenue for the empire. The Grand Duke of Marienburg used this money from Ludwig. In exchange for autonomy, the founding ceremony was written in. Since then, the empire can only collect one defense fee from Marienburg every year and shall not interfere in any internal affairs of Marienburg.

Many people disagree with Ludwig's behavior, thinking that he is splitting the country, but Ludwig said meaningfully: "The reconstruction of the empire urgently needs an amazing wealth, and the chaos of the north will eventually return. , Too much ease and greed for pleasure are not good for fighting chaos."

Therefore, Marienburg is in a "three-regardless" zone. In addition to paying a large amount of defense to the empire, all of the amazing taxes flow into the pockets of the upper-class nobles of Marienburg. Every year, there are countless refugees and refugees. Mercenaries came and went in and out of the city, looking for opportunities to stand out. There are huge and extremely complicated underground tunnels below the city for smuggling and hiding goods. If Belt has escaped to Marienburg, he will be fished out again. It's difficult!

“It’s already difficult for us to catch up with Belt, so what we have to do now is to go to Karzen Haven, because Karzen Haven is the nearest here. After arriving in Karzen Haven, the Church of Justice will help us check the recent record of going to sea, and we will continue. Go chasing Belt.” Ryan made a plan, and his remarks were recognized by everyone. Now Starry Night is actually useless. On the contrary, if there is too much movement, it is easy to be detected by Belt, so Ryan’s plan is not to panic. He hurriedly went to Karzenhaven in accordance with the normal schedule, concealed himself, and waited for Belt's next appearance.

With the clue of the Aesthetic Society, it would not be enough to find Belt to find a needle in a haystack. There are several ports along the western coast of Nord. With the strength of fallen hunters, it is impossible to send so many people to watch the death one by one, and the distance is stretched a lot. , The only choice is this.

"Okay, then we will go to Karzen Haven tomorrow. At our speed, we will depart at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and arrive in Karzen Haven at about noon. At that time, Ryan and I will go to the Justice Church and ask about their news." Teresa nodded. Said, Boris and Wilt both agreed. With so many things happening today, the Sorceress was very tired. After everyone had set up a specific plan of action, they said goodbye.

It was late at night, and the place where the camp was based was on a rocky hill. Ryan saw Teresa reluctantly walking with a stick and took the initiative to reach out to support her jade arm wrapped in white lace gloves: "I will help you. Do it, dear Ms. Trovik."

The female warlock squinted at him and felt a strong sense of support in her arm. She did not refuse, but sighed in a low voice: "Are you considering my body when you offered not to hurry? Then you don't have to. Worry about, my situation now is much better than you think, and I will be able to recover tomorrow."

"Oh? Really? Don't lie to me, don't tell the truth, you won't be able to recover within three days, right?" Ryan directly pierced the female warlock's lie.

"Cut, you are responsible for my safety during this time." Teresa's lie was punctured, and her face blushed, just like a ripe peach, beautiful and moving, her face is not so good-looking, whichever It would be uncomfortable for a proud female spellcaster to become such a slaughtered situation.

It can only be said that Ryan knows too much about the caster.

Spellcasters are roughly divided into three systems, namely wizards, shamans, and warlocks.

Wizards use a wealth of knowledge and subtle magic manipulation abilities to cast spells. They can theoretically learn all known spells. They construct spells by consuming their own magic power, and then complete the cast. Therefore, to release a spell, a wizard must not only understand spells In addition to spells, they also need to know how to construct spells, so a wizard is trained from an apprentice to a great wizard who can stand alone. The manpower and material resources required are very amazing. Their early combat effectiveness is very poor but they have to spend a lot of money. Money to support, to allow them to experiment, to learn, and even grow up after repeated failures. Most of the money is lost. This makes many farmers’ homes have children with magical talents but no money to train them. , They can only be sent to the magic church to be apprentices to other wizards. Many children’s magic talents have been abandoned in apprenticeships year after year.

Unlike wizards, shamans cast spells rather than cast spells as they guide. Shamans’ magic power comes from the magic elements wandering between heaven and earth. They communicate with the power of the elements through totems and meditation, and use their own magic. To guide the magic elements between heaven and earth to complete the spell, the shaman casts spells quickly and consumes less mana, but the spellcasting is very restricted by the environment. For example, in the snow and ice of Nord, the shaman cannot release fire magic, if When encountering areas where magic elements are chaotic, the shaman releases a water cannon technique when it hits the enemy and it becomes a hydrotherapy technique. Instead, it helps the enemy heal. In some areas, the magic element is scarce, and the shaman is no different from normal people.

Finally, there is the sorcerer. The sorcerer is known as the "rich, handsome and beautiful" among the spellcasters, because they are born to cast spells. The source of the sorcerers is rather strange. Some people suddenly have the ability to cast spells after experiencing a storm. Some people also have the ability to cast spells after having some adventures in the mines or beast lairs, but most of the sorcerers appear because of blood, that is, one of his or her parents is the caster, and the caster has the ability to cast spells. The blood of magic power will be passed on to the next generation, and they will automatically learn to cast spells as they grow older. They often don’t need to know how the spell is constructed or how it is cast, because those things are carved into their blood. They only need to chant the spell according to the script to cast the spell.

Because they are born to cast spells, sorcerers are often consciously superior. They dismiss those who work in the mud all day long. Therefore, the sorcerers will not appear in the good camp, that is, there is no "Mother" and "fraternity". According to Ryan, if it is necessary, Teresa can sacrifice these mercenaries without hesitation to give herself a chance to escape.

There is no perfect profession, and the ability of a warlock to cast spells is also limited. For example, if the blood of a warlock is the blood of a great thunder wizard, then he may not be able to learn one or two healing spells in his entire life, even the simplest. One or two rounds of small spells, similarly, a warlock with the blood of the fire system may take several years to master a simple water magic.

The spellcasting of the sorcerer relies on the power of the bloodline, so when the magic power was exhausted at that time, Teresa forced the bloodline power to cast the spell. The result was that the body was overdrawn seriously. Within a few days, let alone the magical power, even the physical strength was severe. The trough.

"With me, don't worry, just aim at Ms. Aurora's face, and I will protect you." Ryan smiled on his face first, and then the corners of his eyes rose quickly: "But I am not yours. Maid, I hope you can understand."

"I know, no one would treat a kingdom knight as a servant." Teresa nodded. When the woman was reminded by the man, she realized that her tone was a bit like the tone of the family facing the servant.

The elder of the Garland Council, Aurora Trovik, saved the life of Ryan’s adoptive father Norman. That was when Ryan was not adopted, and the specific situation was only when he was fighting against the barbarians on the battlefield. Man was knocked down and almost died in battle. Aurora’s spells saved his life. Although Aurora didn’t take it seriously, Norman kept it in mind. For this reason, Ryan was willing to give Teresa a little bit. , Willing to take good care of her.

But this does not mean that he is willing to give her the present person and bodyguard. The relationship between him and the female warlock is originally a complementary relationship, and they are companions, not superiors.

Helping the sorcerer raise the curtain of the tent, Ryan smiled and said, "Good night, Teresa, I hope you have a good dream."

"Good night, Ryan."
