Chapter 605 I Want to Learn the Sword
"I want to learn the sword."
Lanler spoke solemnly to the bodyguards in front of him.
“.”
The bodyguards looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
It's your freedom to learn whatever you want, why do you need to inform us?
But Lanler didn't really seem to be asking for their opinions. He was just looking for a way to announce his goals and make demands on the bodyguards.
He pointed at the bodyguards one by one and said:
"You go learn the greatsword, you go learn the dual swords, you, the insect stick, and you, go learn the hunting horn. Together with my katana, we will become elites in hunting dragons!"
After assigning everyone their tasks in no time, he put his hands on his hips and looked up at the blue sky.
I just feel that a bright and beautiful future is waving at me.
The bodyguards thought that their master had gone mad and was probably brainwashed by those adventurers of unknown origin.
Lanler's transformation came after he interacted with people who appeared to be adventurers but were actually Temud's guards.
Their conversation wasn't that complicated.
The guards first expressed their speculation about the vague location of the Great Dragon Feast Church.
Secondly, it illustrates the fact that there are many dragon hunting experts among the users of special weapons in the forest area.
These two pieces of information originally had nothing to do with each other, but when combined together they became "those who returned from the forest area training could kill a dragon like a dog and then swallow a dragon's heart to become true men."
At least that's what Lanler thought, so he was ready to go. On the one hand, he sent people to find the Great Dragon Feast Church, and on the other hand, he took people to learn how to use weapons such as the katana.
When he can perform the Dragon Feast, he will surely be as popular as Temud, right?
His mind told him that this matter was not that simple, but his sensibility made him want to give it a try regardless of the consequences.
In addition, as a reformist prince, why would he learn to use a sword, which is obviously a melee weapon?
"Since those magicians won't come to help me, I am no longer friends with them!"
This was the result of his prompt decision. He might still be known as a reformer for the time being, but he would never have close ties with those people again.
His previous hesitation made him regret not being able to participate in the battle festival for the first time. Now he has learned his lesson and decided not to be indecisive again!
"You go find someone to explore the location of the Great Dragon Feast Cathedral, and the rest of you, come with me into the Thane Dungeon."
Lanler is now at his MAX level of mobility!
Today was Lanler's first time entering the Senn dungeon, but he did not feel any nervousness and was full of anticipation.
As for the bodyguards.
"I have a lot of people who are now banding together to challenge the battle festival. The number of people attracted by that image is more than the entire Black Rock City. I know of four groups that are recruiting people, and each of them is quite large."
"And I heard that there will be a group going to the battle festival the day after tomorrow, led by eight gold-level adventurers. Why doesn't Your Highness Lanler go with them?"
"Because what Your Highness wants is to build a team with your own reputation like Your Highness Temud, rather than joining a team built by others."
"It's rare to see Your Highness so motivated. I should also study hard!"
Time passed, and late at night, a group of exhausted figures appeared near the portal again, all of them looking exhausted.
Lan Le, who was carried on the bodyguard's shoulders, muttered to himself as if his soul had flown away:
"I've been running around all day and finally got to see the Round Table Hall. How big is it?"
They originally thought they could go directly to the forest area, but they found out that if they didn't unlock the entry to the Hall of the Round Table first, they couldn't go to the Firelink Shrine and other old areas.
So I ran around all day, and finally with the help of the guide I found the ominous demon and went to the Round Table Hall.
Just getting there is exhausting.
When it was daytime, they regrouped and came to challenge Sean again, but there was a hint of fear on their faces.
Fortunately, they got what they wanted this time. They successfully arrived at the Firelink Shrine and smoothly reached the forest area, and they also had a hired guide with them.
The guide looked like an elf, with a sword made of unknown material on his back. He looked smart and capable, but he smelled a bit of alcohol.
"Just call me Melgar. If you guys want to know something, I'm very familiar with this place."
Stellan's sister, the elf Melgar, said so.
"Well, we came here because we heard that the weapons here are very unique, and we aspire to slay dragons. If possible, could you please introduce us to the infrastructure of this area and the characteristics of the various weapons?"
Lanler concealed his identity this time. Maybe he was a rich boy in Melgar's eyes? This was his first time hiding his identity. It was a novel experience.
"Hmm, I long to slay dragons~" Melgar's mouth curled up, and he raised his hand and said, "Come this way, I'll take you to the base first."
"stronghold?"
Lanler was stunned. He had heard that except for the lake area, the forest area was also restricted to ten people for exploration. How could anyone build a base there?
No, it may also be something that comes with the Senn dungeon. Anyway, let’s go and take a look first.
The forest area is one of the oldest areas in the Senn dungeon and is still the place that veterans like to recommend newcomers to.
As for the reason, in addition to the beautiful environment here, adventurers who come here can always encounter monsters that match their strength, which is a very good training for newcomers.
If you can hunt the same kind of monster continuously and accumulate enough materials, you can also get rewards in the Sen Dungeon that are must-gets in your life. If a new adventurer can get those, he can quickly start his journey to fame, and his adventure will become smooth sailing.
"What a big forest!" The bodyguard couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the huge jungle in front of him that almost covered the sky. He felt like a little man who had mistakenly entered the land of giants.
"According to the information we have excavated in this area, it seems that this is a place that people in the past called the Ancient Tree Forest."
Melgar took out a map and gave it to Lanler, which had colorful markings on it.
“Although it’s called a forest area, there’s more than just forest here,” she pointed in different directions.
"With the Ancient Forest as the center, heading north, you will find the sea and archipelago covered in ice. We generally call it the Cold Archipelago. The monsters that live there are also related to cold. The most popular ones should be the Ice Fang Dragon and the Snow Demon Beast."
"Go west to the Lava Cave. As the name suggests, it is a hot place filled with lava. The monsters there are terribly burned. It's best to drink some cold drinks before going there. Princess spiders and fire dragons live there."
"Going east is the desert, which is also endless. The rock dragons and sand dragons there are all tough and strong guys, very annoying. But the most annoying one should be the horned dragon. Recently, the Thunder Dragon and other new monsters have appeared in the desert. I absolutely do not recommend you to go there. Even veterans are unwilling to go there."
"What about going south?" asked a bodyguard with clear eyes.
"Go south to the Fire Temple."
Although Melgar really wanted to show an expression that said "Are you kidding me?", the person in front of him was his employer who paid him, so of course he couldn't be so rude.
The bodyguard immediately lowered his head, thinking that he had asked a stupid question.
"Although this is called the forest area, it's actually very large and has everything. I think this area could be made into a dungeon if it were taken out separately."
"Then, what is the most representative monster in the ancient tree forest?" Lanler asked.
"Of course."
Suddenly, the roar of the ape god was heard from the center of the forest. The whole area was shaking, and the bodyguards were so scared that they quickly took out their weapons and were on guard all around. They had never felt such a wild murderous aura before.
Melgar continued with a smile:
"Golden Lion."
Looking at Lan Le and the others who were still in shock, she waved her hand and said:
"Don't worry, if you don't go deep, you won't encounter the golden lion. But if we do encounter it, we'll be dead."
"The earliest record of a golden lion's subjugation was by the Sword Saint Japar and his apprentice Leon. It was thanks to them that everyone knew that golden lions could also hunt."
"By the way, each area has its own special minerals and plants that can be collected. Rare goods are very valuable outside. A piece of ice metal can be exchanged for ten times its weight of high-end wine."
Lan Le had no interest in wine and just wanted to hear some practical advice. At this moment, Melgar suddenly said:
"We're here. This is the base."
"stronghold."
Lanler looked at the small village in front of him located in a clearing in the forest and did not think there was anything special about it. It could even be said to be ordinary.
But the next moment, when he saw something, his whole body trembled.
"Then, what is that?" He stretched out his fingers tremblingly and looked at Melgar with a subtle expression.
"It's Feline. This is a village built by Feline and humans," Melgar introduced dutifully, "but now it seems there are no traces of humans. It's all cats."
All you could hear in the village was the sound of cats meowing, and suddenly a large group of Felynx came rushing out, surrounding the crowd and entering the village. The bodyguards were at a loss with their enthusiasm.
"Lord Lance, are you okay--" The bodyguard was calling Lanle's pseudonym. At a glance, he saw that the other party was holding an Elu cat in one hand with a happy blush on his face.
"You are new here," said the other bodyguards. "The master likes animals that are a bit humanoid the most."
"Yes, is it?"
This moment is simply Lanler's carnival day.
The dopamine in his head was secreted crazily, and he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by the cats. Even if cat hair got into his throat, he was reluctant to cough. He was so happy that he couldn't make any sound in his throat.
When he was a prince, he was unwilling to reveal his hobbies and interests, and only his bodyguards knew about them. But now, here he can release his nature!
"Elu Cat is awesome!"
He gave a small cheer.
Unfortunately, he was picked up by Melgar the next second, who said, "The Felynns here are too friendly. You have to be careful. There have been many people who were divorced by jealous wives or husbands because of their obsession with Felynns."
Lanler looked at the Felyne cats in despair as they moved further and further away from him, and his face finally turned gloomy.
But after a while, he was placed in front of a new Felynx.
Compared with other Felynx, the other party was larger in size, with a fierce look on his face, and was sitting in a place that was obviously a blacksmith shop. He was staring at them sharply.
"This is the weapon master. You can come to him to forge weapons with the materials you obtain after successfully hunting monsters. However, he can only make more than ten specific weapons."
"The one opposite him is the armor master, who can forge armor. The other Felynns will sell some new gadgets from time to time, so you can communicate with them more."
"The smoke in the distance is from the cafeteria. The cat food prepared by the chef has magical effects. It's a pity that you can only eat one meal a day. If you don't like cat food, you can also eat dumplings or drink beverages and soak in hot springs. These things are not free."
Melgar took off his backpack and placed it in front of the weapon master, smiling and saying:
"I happen to have some materials on hand from the Great Thief Dragon. I can forge a weapon for each of you."
"I want to learn the katana." Lanler said immediately.
“But for newcomers, I would recommend movies.”
"I want to learn Tai Dao." Lan Le said word by word.
Melgar's cheek muscles trembled, and finally he sighed and said:
"Well, since you want to learn the sword, I can teach you if you pay me a little more, but you have to think about it carefully."
She said with a serious expression:
"Tachido, hell is waiting for you."
"no problem!"
Just like that, Lanle Zhu, the second prince of the Warrior Kingdom and one of the great reformists, burst into tears.
Now you have embarked on a road from which there is no return, a road that will definitely lead to success.
At the same time, when he was practicing katana skills in the forest area.
The bodyguards he sent out also successfully assembled into a fairly reliable team, and began to search for the Great Dragon Feast Church in the huge city of Gaileid.
