Half a month later.

"kill!"

With a deafening roar, a cavalry team composed entirely of armored knights rushed towards the mermaid community.

The spear pointed straight ahead and quickly cleared a bloody path.

With the coordinated use of various seals, even the blue-eyed mermaid who was comparable to a great knight could only scream and die miserably.

"As expected of a team from the City of Death, they are really strong. Their overall quality is much better than ours."

On the hillside.

Aya looked at the scene below, her beautiful eyes flickering:

"The City of Death has dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers this time, including 2,000 cavalrymen."

"With this cavalry charge, it will be difficult for the mermaids to gather together, and it will be easier to deal with them."

"Aya." Susan rode closer: "What should we do?"

"Gather together, find small groups of mermaids and slowly surround and kill them. First, build up the tacit understanding of the army and then expand the battle." Aya waved the whip in her hand and pointed to the location of the Free Port: "There are no less than 100,000 mermaids in this area. Even with the team from the City of Death, we are seriously short of manpower."

"We must control the casualties, otherwise the team will easily collapse."

She was not very optimistic about the trip.

Although the army of the City of Death is powerful, their numbers are limited after all. Faced with the endless number of mermaids, once they are caught in a protracted war, they will surely feel despair as their companions die one after another.

This is a tough nut to crack.

Taking your time is the right way.

It is unrealistic to think that all mermaids can be wiped out in a short period of time.

Anyway, Aya did not intend to command the army to attack, but to wander around the edge of the free port to encircle and suppress small groups of mermaids.

Without the evil god's thoughts, the number of mermaids will only decrease and not increase, and they will be wiped out sooner or later.

"The cavalry of the City of Death can only display their true strength at night. We cannot take action at night, and it is difficult for us to form a joint force..."

"trouble!"

She shook her head slightly and looked towards the City Lord's Mansion:

"If there are legendary knights who follow orders and cooperate with the team, the battle will be much easier."

"pity……"

The legendary knights were all arrogant and would never obey the orders of a mere knight like her.

Even Carl acted alone.

"It is said that there are good things in the City Lord's Mansion. All the legendary knights are running inside, and no one cares about the outside."

Susan said, "What could attract a legendary knight?"

"Blood of a demigod!" Connie added, "Lord Sodan has been trapped for so many years. Even if he is not dead, he must be seriously injured. He has the blood of the Grand Duke in his body."

"His Highness Meivia can use his own blood to train a legendary knight. Even if Lord Sodan's bloodline is weak, he can do the same."

"Actually..."

"It is said that deep in the City Lord's Mansion, there are two legendary knights who have been silently guarding the Lord of Sodan."

The blood of a demigod not only allows the great knight to break through his limits, it is said to also allow the legendary knight to get one step closer.

Whatever the reason, it's extremely attractive.

“Woo…”

As a few people were chatting, a long buzzing sound came from the battlefield in the distance, irritating everyone's eardrums.

This sound means danger on the battlefield.

not good!

Aya's eyes narrowed.

Two red-eyed mermaids hiding in the group of mermaids suddenly rushed out, waving their claws and killing the cavalry.

Their bodies are as hard as rocks, their hands are like indestructible weapons, and their speed and strength are terrifying.

With a sudden charge, more than ten cavalrymen were blown away.

"law……"

Many horses raised their front hooves in fright.

Everyone knows.

The most important thing for cavalry when charging is to act with one move. Once the way forward is blocked, it can easily lead to a chain of disasters.

Even the entire team will be in a desperate situation.

Just as the team from the City of Death was becoming chaotic, a figure fell from the sky and landed in front of the two red-eyed mermaids.

"It's uncle!"

Seeing this, Aya smiled:

"That's all right."

"There are so many legendary knights, and the City of Death has its own masters, but Elder Karl actually took action." Susan curled her lips: "For legendary knights, the lives of ordinary people are not lives!"

As he spoke, Carl had already collided with two red-eyed mermaids, and many afterimages flashed by.

By the time everyone regained their sight, the red-eyed mermaid's head had been completely separated from its body.

“Hmm…”

Connie thought thoughtfully: "Elder Carl has become stronger again."

Although Carl was able to kill the red-eyed mermaid a few years ago, he definitely couldn't do it as easily as he did now.

Aya chuckled when she heard that.

Become stronger?

She has been following Carl for many years and has been witnessing miracles.

From being a knight's squire to where he is today, it has been only about twenty years at most, and the other party is getting stronger every moment.

constant,

That's strange! …………

Source,

+0.2!

Feeling the message coming from the fragment of the divine realm, Carl couldn't help but smile.

'good!'

'Although the energy points are now four to one, the difficulty of cultivation has increased significantly. If I rely on my own hard work, it will take more than half a month to cultivate this amount of mental strength.'

He had no interest in saving the cavalry of the City of Death, but was only interested in killing the red-eyed mermaid.

after all,

In his eyes, every red-eyed mermaid is a great blessing from God.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 12 Mental Strength: 7.1 Essence: 0.8 Level: Legendary Knight, First Ring Wizard

Abyssal Blood Fusion Degree: 38% "In ten days, eight red-eyed mermaids were killed, but it will be difficult to find them nearby next time."

Looking around, Carl shook his head slightly.

The teams from various cities that were coming to kill the mermaids have all arrived. If there are red-eyed mermaids, they will definitely show up.

These two are likely to be the last two.

Huh? Mellen!

His eyes moved slightly, and ignoring the cavalrymen who were about to come over to thank him, Carl dodged and rushed towards the city lord's mansion.

After a moment.

He appeared on the city wall and landed beside the bloodied Meren.

"You are just a great knight. Even if you have some skills, it is too dangerous to come here." Carl shook his head when he saw this: "Where are my things?"

Mellen smiled bitterly.

Although he is a great knight, his real strength is not weaker than that of a legendary knight, otherwise he would not have such a great reputation.

certainly……

This level of strength is indeed not enough in the eyes of the other party.

Now it seems that sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion was a wrong decision, and I almost couldn't get out.

Blood of demigod!

It seems that I am not destined to be with you.

"Give."

He took out a heavy cloth bag from his pocket and handed it over. Melen shook his head and sighed:

"There is an invisible monster inside this city lord's mansion. You have to be careful when you go in."

"But compared to monsters, humans are more dangerous!"

He looked at the injuries on his body and his eyes dimmed.

He was traveling alone on this trip, but with a small team, and a dispute broke out as soon as they entered the inner city.

Looking back now, it was obvious that someone did it on purpose.

Fortunately, he escaped in time when he saw the situation was not good, otherwise he would have stayed in the city today.

"Invisible monster?" Carl took the bag and said, "Got it."

"And the fanatic potion..." Melen continued:

"The price of similar potions has come down now, and it will be much more difficult to exchange for the Great Divine Grace."

"It's okay." Carl waved his hand: "The price doesn't matter, as long as there is a great grace from God."

“That’s right!”

"..." Melen's mouth twitched:

“Yes, but not all.”

"I won't go in there again anyway, so I'll just give it to you."

His main job is an intelligence dealer, and he must have made a lot of preparations in advance for this operation.

Carl took the drawing handed over by the other party and unfolded it casually, comparing it with what he had explored.

Some use.

But not big! After watching Mellen leave, Karl focused his attention on himself.

Ninety-two great divine graces not only expanded the space of the divine domain fragment, but also provided him with 9.2 source essences.

Plus the gains from killing the red-eyed mermaid.

so……

Source quality: 10!

The unprecedented number made Carl's breathing quicken, and he immediately put all the points on his physical fitness.

Physical fitness: 14.5!

Just one step away from the late first stage! * * * The City Lord's Mansion is divided into the inner city and the outer city.

The outer city had long been the habitat of mermaids and various ferocious beasts; once you entered the inner city, it suddenly became quiet.

"clatter……"

The sound of crisp footsteps rang out in the dark passage.

Several figures slowly appeared, one of them reached out and touched the wall of the passage, and a look of disgust immediately appeared on his face.

"It's slimy, what is this?"

"It should be the liquid secreted by some kind of creature." A man holding a long knife said in a low voice: "Be careful, something is wrong here!"

"Any normal person can tell something is wrong!" Someone said, "Sodan is the mayor of Freeport. Is there something wrong with him that he built his place into such a gloomy atmosphere?"

“Swish!”

A black shadow flashed quickly before their eyes.

"What?"

"careful!"

"puff!"

“Puff!”

Accompanied by a few muffled sounds, several figures exploring the inner city reached the bottom one after another, and blood flowed along the ground.

soon.

The footsteps sounded again.

Matthew, timidly, held a bone stick in his hand and walked into the passage carefully.

"Is everything going to be alright?"

"Don't worry!" A blue shell on his waist vibrated slightly, and a subtle sound came out: "Do you see the slime on the wall? That's the body fluid secreted by the first-level creature red earthworms. Once they are full, they will not move anymore."

"What if I don't have enough to eat?" Matthew said with a trembling voice: "I will die!"

"Why are you so timid?" Shell said speechlessly: "Red earthworms have a small appetite, and the bone stick in your hand can restrain them, don't worry."

Hearing this,

Matthew's nervousness finally calmed down a little.

He was originally just an ordinary teenager from Freeport, and was brought back to Rapids by Carl to seek refuge.

By chance, he picked up a shell around his waist on the beach, and his fate changed dramatically from then on.

"Speaking of which..."

Matthew whispered:

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I told you, I don't remember clearly either." Shell said, "I vaguely remember that I was a three-ring wizard, and I was injured and hiding in a painting waiting for someone to rescue me."

"later……"

"It seems that someone passed the test of the woman in the painting, and I was sealed again and thrown into the seabed. Fortunately, I have some tricks and separated a strand of my thoughts and attached them to this shell, and then you picked it up."

“Hmm…”

"If that's the case, I'm just a thought of my original body. No wonder I've forgotten so many things."

"Wizard?" Matthew blinked. "What is a wizard?"

"I don't know either." Shell sounded bewildered: "There is something wrong with your world. It suppresses beings above the first level and even devours the spiritual power of the original body. Now I am a defective product with a confused consciousness..."

"So you must become a first-ring wizard as soon as possible, and then you can find my real body at the bottom of the sea."

Matthew curled his lips.

The most common folk stories in this world are about rescuing demons and evil gods, which ultimately bring disaster upon oneself.

In his mind, the "real body" mentioned by Shell was most likely an evil god, otherwise how could he be sealed and thrown into the seabed? Fortunately, Shell's "head" was not very clear, so he just brushed it off for the time being and learned the other party's skills first.

Bloodline Wizard! Even more powerful than the legendary knight!

"Speaking of which, a first-level legendary creature would allow me to become a bloodline wizard, so why would I risk going in here?"

Matthew was puzzled:

"I have already mastered the art of blood witchcraft. My current strength is comparable to that of a great knight. Besides, it is not difficult to find the corpses of legendary creatures."

"What do you know?" Shell sneered, "The reason why the word 'bloodline' is added before 'bloodline wizard' is to show the importance of bloodline to cultivation."

"This world is very special. Beings above the first level will be suppressed. In other words, many second-level and even third-level creatures here only have the strength of the first level. Don't even think about this opportunity in other places."

"As long as you can obtain the blood of a second-level or even third-level creature, your chances of advancing will be greater. After all, there are no potions here that can help you break through to the level of a formal wizard. However, it will be more difficult to advance to the second level."

“Shh…”

"There's someone ahead."

Beike suddenly stopped talking, Matthew's body tensed, and he walked out of the passage slowly, holding the bone stick in his hand.

What comes into view are twelve huge stone pillars and the bronze door standing beneath the stone pillars.

This is a square covering several hundred square meters. There are quite a few people in the square, some in groups of three or five, and some alone, as if they are waiting for something. Matthew just took a glance and his heart tightened.

legend!

Blood witchcraft is very good at sensing the breath of life, so he can sense the huge breath in the field.

Several legends! …………

In the dark room, accompanied by sharp sounds of breaking air and the sound of metal colliding, several shadows quickly intertwined.

"Boss!"

“I can’t hold on any longer!”

"careful!"

A masked legendary knight growled as he flashed like a ghost and collided with several legendary creatures.

"Bang!"

The energy was surging, and the figure suddenly separated.

Although the legendary knight is powerful, the legendary creature on the opposite side is not bad either. The key is to have enough of them.

They may not be able to take down the legendary knight, but the knight's companions will probably not escape today.

"Ghost face."

Just then, a gentle, soothing voice came from outside: "Do you need help?"

"Two..." Ghost Rider's eyes flickered: "It's you?"

"Yes." The person who came in came from outside, his white clothes exuding a pure and flawless aura, even illuminating the darkness.

"Ghost Face, we haven't seen him for nearly a hundred years, right?"

"Hmph!" Ghost Face snorted coldly, "You were hiding in the temple and didn't come out. I thought you were dead. Why did you come here this time?"

“Could it be…”

"The Holy Temple also wants the blood of demigods?"

"No." The visitor shook his head. "I'm here to find someone. You should have heard of his name. He's the mysterious pharmacist in Rapid City."

“Karl!”

"He killed the seven elders of the temple."

"What?" Ghost Face shrugged:

"With your strength, are you still not sure about dealing with him?"

"..." The visitor was silent, paused, and then said: "I will help you solve the trouble here, and you help me deal with Karl. Your seal can restrain his physique."

"Hmm?" Ghostface's eyes flickered: "Karl... is he that strong?"

"never mind!"

"Help me solve the problem at hand first."

"Okay." The man nodded, drew out the knight's sword from his waist with one hand, and held the sword upright in front of him.

"Ring of Protection!"

"Holy Law!"

A huge, condensed, and sacred aura emerged from him, and in an instant the suppressed legendary creatures were forced to retreat.

This scene also made Ghost Rider's eyes look solemn.
