Chapter 56 004: The Viscount and his Savior
"Ka-Puff!"
The gap between the extraordinary and the ordinary was fully demonstrated at this moment.
The giant ice sword easily pierced through the thick wild boar skin that Luo Xi had never been able to cut through before. The blade pierced through the neck and came out from the lower jaw, almost cutting off the entire head of the giant wild boar.
The biting cold quickly spread to both sides, and the gathered ice elements instantly formed a thick layer of ice on both sides of the blade, freezing the giant wild boar's head.
These are all visible, but what is invisible is the cold current that drills into the spinal cord and crawls into the brain from the incision. These cold currents carry with them a large amount of ice elements, which destroy the entire head of the giant wild boar in the first place and freeze it into ice chips.
Under such a powerful attack, the giant beast that had slaughtered nearly a hundred people in several towns didn't even have the chance to scream before it was completely killed and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Luo Xi shook his hand: "As expected of a high-level apprentice spell!"
His physique is comparable to that of a great knight and he still has strong physical resistance. If it is just low-level apprentice spells such as wind blade and water ball, Luo Xi may not be able to solve it easily. Just look at the previous sword wind.
More than a dozen consecutive wind blades failed to cause any fatal damage, but the ice giant sword killed the giant wild boar with just one sword.
This is the gap between low-level apprentice spells and high-level apprentice spells.
The same is true for the gap between lower-level apprentices and higher-level apprentices.
"I wonder if there is a magic core?"
Luo Xi excitedly took out a dagger from the space bracelet, climbed onto the huge corpse of the giant wild boar, and began to dig at its head.
Some Warcraft will produce a special crystal in their head, which is called a magic core. This is the source of the Warcraft's power. The stronger the Warcraft, the higher the possibility of producing a magic core.
“Haha, it’s true!”
After knocking open the giant wild boar's skull, Luo Xi successfully found a thumb-sized, khaki crystal in it.
“What good luck!”
Luo Xi happily took out a handkerchief and wiped off the blood-stained tissue covering the magic core, and then put the crystal clear magic core away.
Magic cores are very useful experimental materials for wizards and are best-selling items. Even the lowest-grade magic core can be sold for at least dozens or hundreds of magic stones.
After digging out the magic core, Luo Xi got down from the giant wild boar's corpse. The giant wild boar was of too low a level, and there were no valuable experimental materials on its body. Its meat was also rather tough and not tasty. The only valuable thing on its body was the magic core.
As for this huge corpse that is as big as a mountain... leave it to the creatures in the forest.
A few days later, Kachira Mountains.
“Da da da!”
“Gurgle gurgle!~”
The sound of footsteps and wheels turning echoed in the mountains and forests, and a team was walking along the muddy, earthworm-like path.
This is an army of about thirty people, wearing uniform blue-gray leather armor. They include shield infantry, spearmen, archers, and powerful knights holding cross swords as the core force.
The deer head flag erected high in front of the convoy indicated the identity of this team, the Holderman family.
"Everyone, look carefully at the bushes and weeds. If you find any trace of the beast, report it immediately. We must not let it get away this time!"
"yes."
In the middle of the team, Viscount Holdeman was riding on a tall horse and issuing combat orders in an orderly manner.
As a noble whose territory is at the foot of the Kachira Mountains, Viscount Holdeman has been having a real headache recently. A giant wild boar that came from nowhere wandered into the Kachira Mountains and would come down the mountain from time to time to hunt.
At first, they only destroyed farmland, but later they gradually began to attack livestock and even humans. Recently, they even started to attack towns, causing considerable casualties.
This is a very dangerous signal! Stripping away the cloak of bloodline and identity, the legitimacy of the nobles' rule mainly comes from their powerful military force that can protect the weak subjects from harm and thus maintain order.
Now that even the most basic personal safety is gone, how can civilians still serve willingly? The order under the suppression of force can only be maintained for a while. In the long run, these civilians will flee to other places even if they give up their status as free citizens. The decline of the nobles without their subjects is basically inevitable.
Because of this, as soon as the giant wild boar appeared, Holdman organized people to encircle and hunt it.
However, the strength of this thing was beyond their expectations. Instead of causing any harm to it, they lost a lot of manpower, including several knights.
Afterwards, Viscount Holdeman launched several more crusades, and even spent a huge sum of money to seek reinforcements from several nearby nobles at the cost of a silver mine.
However, it was of no use, as the strength of this thing had already reached the Grand Knight stage. At this level, it was already invulnerable to swords and guns and had immense strength. The few men they brought were no match for the giant wild boar.
After several failed encirclement and suppression attempts, Viscount Holderman had no choice but to ask for help from the feudal lord, and at the same time led his subjects to retreat into the castle, awaiting support from the great knights.
Originally, Viscount Holderman had made up his mind not to leave the castle before the arrival of the kingdom's great knights. However, he did not expect that things would take such an unexpected turn.
He didn't find the Great Knight's reinforcements, but he did get a more powerful existence...
"Sir, there are footprints here!"
At this moment, a soldier quickly came to Viscount Holdman to report.
Viscount Holdeman jumped off his horse and followed the soldiers forward. A bush here had been peeled away by the soldiers, and a row of huge footprints could be clearly seen on the ground.
"Gulp." The sound of spitting and swallowing came from under the grid mask.
The numerous losses and even dangerous situations he had encountered had made Viscount Holdman develop a genuine fear of the giant wild boar. Even at this moment, even if he was just looking at the monster's footprints, he still felt a chill in his spine.
"Have you confirmed the trace?" He asked, suppressing the fear in his heart.
"The footprints extend all the way to the east. There is a lake in that direction." The soldier pointed in a direction in the distance.
Viscount Holderman nodded: "I understand."
Then he walked to the center of the convoy, where there was a row of carriages guarded by soldiers. This was originally his carriage, but now he gave it up to entertain the more distinguished guest inside.
Standing in front of the carriage, Viscount Holdman took off his helmet and straightened his clothes, then knocked gently and respectfully on the carriage door.
"Master Wizard, we found the beast."
Yes, what made Viscount Holderman change his strategy of holding on and waiting for help, and dare to launch another attack on this nightmare of his? Holderman's greatest reliance was a character that only appeared in legendary stories, a person who possessed supernatural powers.
wizard!
"Click!" With a slight sound, the car door opened.
A young man got out of the car.
If Luo Xi was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the young man's identity at a glance. He was the great genius of their Elemental Castle, Joshua.
"Yawn~"
Yawning lazily, Joshua asked, "Where?"
