Chapter 171 Shattered Magic Crystal

After making sure there were no threats within the space, Gervis came out of the space and began to check the weapons of the ogre leader.

He was intrigued by the silver light flashing on the kobolds' weapons and the ability to release electric balls.

"Strengthen weapons? Mithril forging? Magical beast crystal?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked closely at first, but when Gervis checked the weapons of the ogre leader, he was surprised.

When Gervis squatted on the ground and picked up the meteor hammer that he had cut into two pieces, he unexpectedly found a Warcraft crystal inlaid on the handle of the ogre leader. However, the Warcraft crystal had been shattered at this moment. It was a gray transparent crystal, and its shape was exactly the same as the one Gervis obtained from the storm wolf and the tri-colored deer.

There are densely packed inscriptions carved on the place where the Warcraft crystal is inlaid, which are many times more complicated than the inscriptions carved by Brian to strengthen Gervis' weapons and equipment.

Secondly, Gervis discovered that the handle of the meteor hammer and the iron ball were connected by an iron chain forged from mithril.

"Where on earth do these orcs come from? How come they have enhanced weapons? And how come they know how to forge weapons with mithril?"

A huge question popped up in Gervis' mind. Although these orcs were dressed simply, just like humans in ancient times, they were able to forge mithril weapons and use strengthening inscriptions, which showed that their civilization was not worse than that of humans, and was even far superior to that of humans. The use of magic crystals in combination with inscriptions to produce strengthening effects further proved this point.

Although Gervis didn't know whether the ogre leader was able to release the ball of light because of his own factors or because of the enhanced meteor hammer, the result was the same, that is, the orcs were not as bloodthirsty and beast-like as Gervis had previously believed.

"Sir, what should we do with these orc corpses?"

While Gervis was squatting on the ground, thinking deeply, Ik had already wrapped his barbecue and handed it to other guards, then came to Gervis and asked.

"Burn them all!"

The serfs who came to watch the battle today accounted for two-thirds of the population of Storm Territory, so Gervis didn't need to parade these corpses through the streets. It was so hot now, and Gervis was worried that if he didn't deal with them sooner, some plague would break out.

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, all the orc corpses were piled up in the open space, and then ignited by Ik with torches. With the blowing of the sea breeze, they were soon engulfed by the raging flames. Gervis also ordered his men to pack up the weapons of the ogre leader and stayed for a while.

"Now return to the castle!"

"Oh! My Lord is mighty!"

"My Lord, you are mighty!"

When everything was finished and Gervis's guards had assembled, Gervis gave an order and the serfs on the hillside cheered in unison.

Today's battle was probably the only chance for most serfs to watch humans and orcs fighting at close range, and this time it was a great victory. The serfs, who had always been full of hatred and fear towards orcs, instantly regarded Gervis as a god-like existence.

…

Only when the team reached the dirt road did Gervis have time to start checking his system panel.

For Gervis, there are two biggest gains today. The first is training. After this battle, Gervis's guards can finally be considered elite. Although there is still a lot of training to be carried out, they are now worthy of this equipment.

The second point is that Gervis was rewarded with 1 energy point by the system for killing the ogre leader. The energy point obtained unexpectedly opened up a new world for Gervis, and finally made him realize that in addition to completing tasks, there are other ways to obtain energy points.

There is no doubt that the system is powerful. The search function and the magical effect of kiwi fruit are the cornerstones for Gervis to strengthen his own strength in a short period of time and gain a foothold in this chaotic world.

In the past, Gervis had always suffered from not having enough energy points, but now it was different. Gervis seemed to have seen that a small hole had been opened in the huge treasure house of the system, and the countless treasures inside were waving to him.

"I just wonder if there will be a Kobold Chieftain every time the Orc Space is opened!"

While Gervis was happy, he was also a little worried, because he didn't know much about the space of the purple elf worm, and he didn't know whether there would be a leader-level figure every time it was opened.

If not, then he could only wait until the arrival of winter, and then find a way to kill a few more orcs and earn some energy points. However, compared to obtaining them from the orc space, hunting orcs in winter was undoubtedly dangerous. Facing hundreds of orc troops, Gervis was not confident that he could kill them three times in and three out.

"Whatever. I'll work it out when the time comes. Now that I've found a way to get the energy points, there's no way I'll give up!"

Finally, Gervis put aside his anxiety and rode on the tall unicorn towards the castle under the protection of a group of guards.

…

The southern part of Winterfell, on the largest main road, was packed with people today, and the entire street was almost blocked.

"Have you heard? There is ice for sale over there. It's summer now! Gods, where do they get so much ice to sell? Is it from the north? But how can it be transported to Winterfell?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"You just found out about this? I found out that ice is very cheap. One silver coin can buy two large copper basins!"

"Two large basins for one silver coin? Although it's cheap, commoners like us can't afford it. It seems that only wealthy businessmen can taste summer ice!"

"Hey, you don't know this! They also sell small blocks of ice for only 1 copper coin each!"

The two people who were talking were both street vendors. Today, all the crowds went to watch the caravan selling ice cubes, so their place became deserted. However, they were not in a hurry, because people had to eat after all. They sold black bread, dried meat and other food, and people would come to buy them after watching the show.

The free time at the moment gave the two of them a good opportunity to start discussing the ice sale incident that had caused a sensation in the entire southern district.

The one who was laughing was the vendor selling jerky. He had just kept the question a secret just to see the disappointed look on the vendor selling black bread's face. After getting a satisfactory result, he told the vendor the news that they also sold ice cubes.

"Really? They're still selling ice cubes for 1 copper? Why don't you buy some?"

"Of course it's true. In addition to the 1 copper ice cubes, they also have a 2 copper ice cube. I heard that the ice cubes have the taste of fruit, sour, sweet, cold and delicious!"

The dried meat vendor was very proud of himself for being well-informed. When he saw that the black bread vendor still didn't believe him, he added another sentence.

"Of course I went to buy them, didn't you notice? My daughter wasn't here today, so I asked her to buy them! I gave her six copper coins and asked her to buy both kinds of ice cubes, haha!"

"If you want to taste the flavor that only the nobles can have, you have to hurry up and buy it! I heard that you have to queue up to buy ice cubes. If you go too late, it will probably be sold out!"

The black bread vendor became anxious when he heard this, and without bothering to continue talking to the dried meat vendor, he hurried back home and prepared to ask his wife to buy some to try. After all, they would never become nobles in this life, but it was still very tempting to eat the same things as nobles.
