.Chapter 209 The Earth Scepter----The Frost Sword Saint

"I stayed for a long time this time." Chen Kai shook his neck and slowly walked out of the resurrection point of the Temple of Pluto. There were players around him. I saw it once, and I haven't seen it once, but when I walked out of the Temple of Pluto, everyone would greet each other.

Of course, these are all kind greetings. Occasionally, when two enemies fight outside, they will sneer at each other a few times when they see each other, smile at each other a few times without laughing, and then don’t know if they are cursing each other’s ancestors behind their backs behind the 18th generation.

Of course, Chen Kai would not know the players around him, and at most he would look familiar. After all, most players have begun to wander around the mainland now, and only those players who are determined to become lords will recruit soldiers to build their own castles and territory.

However, players of the lord type cannot expand infinitely. Their territory is limited by knights. If you forcefully expand, you will be attacked by the surrounding high-level lords. After all, those are their land. As for players who forcefully expand, they have given up their ambitions after the two unlucky guys were killed by their lords themselves and have rested to level up and carry out construction.

After all, the promotion of titles can only rely on military merits, and the level is too low, it is estimated that he will not even let him go to war. In the end, he can only rely on the little military merits obtained from taxes to slowly accumulate titles. Moreover, the requirements for title promotion in different regions are also different. For example, Chen Kai himself, he was about to be granted the title of Lord several times, but because his aristocratic territory was in the imperial capital, the Lord he obtained flew again.

However, today is destined to be a good day for those lord players who aim to promote military merits. Altinis and Hugo, who exited the northern part of the Great Rift Valley, issued a call for the first time, summoning a large number of players to go to the Great Rift Valley to eliminate the Mobiks.

At the same time, every Mobik has meritorious achievements. As long as they hold their heads, they can be calculated based on 5 merits in each head. By the way, the merit required to be promoted to a knight noble is five feathers, that is, five thousand points, and the Lord is five scales, that is, fifty thousand points.

In addition to the calculation of merit, the rest is the lord's direct enthronement, which requires you to swear allegiance to become the lord's territory knight for a long time. Moreover, this stage is very long and will not end until your own power is stronger than your lord.

After your level and strength exceed your lord, you can escape from your lord through duels or application for pardon. Of course, it is just a level that has become a superior and subordinate. If you want to attack your lord's territory, you will be attacked collectively by other lords.

But all this has nothing to do with Chen Kai. All he has to do now is to find a place to sleep and wait for the news. Of course, he can also watch the live broadcast program led by Xu Fei, such as the dwarf vs. the man in black, or the Locas vs. the sickle, or the positional offensive and defensive battles in which players participate in the performance.

For Chen Kai, the most important thing now is to find a room to have a good rest. The last attack completely wiped out all his energy. He just wanted to have a good sleep and recover all his energy. Fei Yun and Su Xinghe were also holding the same idea.

Especially Fei Yun, although he had been waiting by the Styx for nearly half an hour, he still felt very tired. After all, the holy fires were burned from his stomach, and then burned his body inch by inch to death.

Even when Fei Yun fainted at the moment he was burned by the flames, he felt that the pain was too difficult. Anyone who recalled the scenes of the flames burning his intestines and flesh would feel uncomfortable. Su Xinghe was also not feeling well. After he finally released the fighting spirit attack he named Bazhan, he fell to the ground and was torn to pieces by the demonic people.

So compared to Fei Yun, Su Xinghe's death process is not much better than him. At least Chen Kai died directly after slashing out a sword.

"These trash bites so painful." Su Xinghe stood behind Chen Kai's back and rubbed his arms. He clearly remembered that when he fell to the ground, the muscles there were torn off by a Mobik. The huge pain almost made him scream like he was about to tear his throat.

"The fourth brother hasn't come back yet?" Chen Kai poked Fei Yun squatting on the ground with his finger. At this moment, he was still in a state of trance.

"..." Fei Yun looked up at Chen Kai with a dull eyes. It was not until he saw Chen Kai clearly that his bitter melon-like face looked a little better, but his body still couldn't help but tremble.

Looking at Fei Yun's appearance, Chen Kai knew that he would be better off looking for the priest in the temple to treat him, so Chen Kai subconsciously touched his wallet on his waist. He didn't know if he touched Chen Kai's face immediately changed because he found that his wallet was missing.

"Old Su! Have you brought the money?" Chen Kai asked Su Xinghe with an extremely bad face.

"Who will not bring them... These damn miscellaneous pieces, my money bag?" Su Xinghe touched his belt, and his face immediately turned as dark as Chen Kai. Considering the danger of the mission, both of them basically handed over the important finances to other people, and there were only some gold coins in their pockets. As a result, these gold coins seemed to be taken away by those Mobiks when they were dismembered, and then the two of them turned into paupers.

"I hope the fourth brother still has gold coins on him." Chen Kai thought so, then looked at Fei Yun's belt. What disappointed him was that there was no trace of a wallet on the belt.

"Okay, it seems we have to buy equipment to exchange for money, otherwise we will definitely starve to death." Chen Kai said, pointing to the tattered armor on his body. He himself understood that except for the long sword, other things are probably worth a gold coin.

"Fortunately, I still have some spare equipment in my backpack, I hope it's worth some money." Chen Kai thought while opening the backpack to check, but it seemed that his character was really bad today. Only half of the set of armor and weapons originally stored in the backpack was left after taking out. As for the other parts, it was obvious that they were exposed.

"The passing years are not good." Su Xinghe also looked at the armor placed in his backpack. The armor was gone, and the arm armor on his arms was missing one side. There were quite a few weapons, but it was actually the same as none. Su Xinghe looked at the two pitch-black spears and stared in a daze because he couldn't use the spear himself.

"Fortunately I can exchange some money," Chen Kai said as he looked at the spear in Su Xinghe's hand, and then handed him the sword in his backpack. Chen Kai found the sword in his backpack, but there was only one, so in the end he exchanged the sword with the spear in Su Xinghe's hand. Although Chen Kai's spear was not as good as Su Wan's, it was at least stronger than what Su Xinghe would not use. At least he worked hard to use the Longqinus gun for a long time.

Seeing that he had only the upper body but not the lower body, only the left and right armor, Chen Kai sighed. He felt that if this was the case, it would be better to take off and change to a leather armor neatly. However, in the end, Chen Kai still didn't take it off, because at least the defense of the armor was much higher than that of ordinary leather armor.

"Boss Selling Things" Chen Kai took Su Xinghe and Fei Yun to a blacksmith shop. After being comforted by Chen Kai and Su Xinghe for a few times, Fei Yun finally recovered a little, but he soon became depressed again. Because like Chen Kai and the others, his equipment and items were all exposed, and except for the two mantis knives, the only crossbow was left in his backpack. Fortunately, his treasures were kept at Xu Fei, otherwise Fei Yun would have cried to death.

"Ha~~~What do you have to sell at noon?" The shop owner sitting behind the counter was yawning and looking at Chen Kai and the others. As the owner of the blacksmith shop in Altinis, he had been working here for nearly ten years, and dozing off at noon was a good habit he had always maintained. Obviously, he was very unhappy about Chen Kai and the others disturbing him to take a nap.

"Well? There are standard weapons, but unfortunately I jumped. This one was even more miserable. It was even more tragic. "The shop owner looked at the two long swords placed in front of him and slowly opened his sleepy eyes. He just took a look and understood the quality of the two weapons in his mind. Then he said his price. "Does it be sold for a gold coin? If you don't sell it, take it away."

"Are you one gold coin?" Chen Kai asked carefully. The price was too low for him. After all, even if these two weapons were different, they should be worth more.

"Two hands and one gold coin, are there any more?" The store owner directly broke Chen Kai's fantasy. For him, this outdated standard weapon was just recast.

"What? You can see clearly that this is a standard weapon, and it is an excellent product." Chen Kai held his hands heavily on the counter, and the huge sound suddenly dispelled the sleepiness of the shop owner.

"Exquisite products kid, don't think that you can fool me Lao Luohan if you are a noble. My eyes are the best within a radius of hundreds of miles. Now, let alone excellent products, no one believes these two weapons, or not, are miscellaneous weapons?" The shop owner looked at Chen Kai's suspicious eyes and pulled out Su Xinghe's cracked sword from the two weapons, bent it gently with his fingers, and then stretched out his fingers to the cracks and gently bounced it.

The long sword, which had no problems when bent, was actually broken by a finger of the shop owner. From Chen Kai, he could also see that the crack was the original location of the crack, which was almost no different from the shape of the crack.

"Look, this weapon can only be used as material recycling at most. Of course, compared to this one, the one just now is pretty good." The shop owner took out the long sword that Chen Kai had, but he didn't see how hard he tried. He just bent the long sword and fell apart and broke into dozens of small pieces.

"Okay, if you don't sell a gold coin, just take these two piles of things away if you don't sell it," the store owner swept all the fragments of the long sword together, and then said to Chen Kai who was dazed.

"This has become like this. Where can I get it to sell it?" Chen Kai looked at the store owner with a dull face. If the pair of long sword fragments were still complete, Chen Kai could still find a stupid novice player to cheat some money, but now they can't even cheat money, and they can only sell it as materials.

Finally, Chen Kai cursed the shop owner as a profiteer, and sold all the pieces of armor to him in exchange for two gold coins. Holding the two gold coins he got, Chen Kai sighed, and then took the other two people to the nearest hotel to ask for some food and rent a room to rest.

In this tree house hotel, Chen Kai and the other two were eating barbecue and bread on the plate. The barbecue was just ordinary roast pork, and the bread was also crude whole wheat bread. The three portions of food were not worth a silver coin. Of course, their taste was definitely just delicious, and there was still a difference between the two words "delicious".

However, at this time, the physical strength and hunger had already made the three of them not care about so much. Of course, what is more important is that the three of them are so poor that they only have one gold coin left. This gold coin has to pay for various supplies when they go to the Rift Valley tomorrow. If they weren't afraid that Lar would go on a hungry strike, Chen Kai would probably take out Lar's forage and sell it for money.

"Have you heard it? Seralis started recruiting soldiers in the city, and it is probably going to fight soon." A gentle voice came from Chen Kai and the others on the left. Although the sound was very light, it quickly attracted everyone in the hotel. The mercenary who was talking soon found that the surrounding eyes were focusing on him. Obviously, those people were very concerned about what he said.

The hotel owner quickly poured a glass of ale and put it next to the mercenary, signaling the other party to continue talking. He knew that if the mercenary didn't say it, the people in the store would soon run out to inquire about things, which would be very bad for the business in the store. So the hotel owner would rather give up some money and pour a glass of ale and let the mercenary continue talking.

After taking a sip of ale, the mercenary put down the cup in his hand very comfortably and began to tell the information he learned. It was roughly similar to what Chen Kai learned from Xu Fei, that is, Senarius and Hugo from the north and the south to attack the Mobiks in the Great Rift Valley.

It was just that Senarius seemed to have concealed the true strength of the Demonics and the situation of the Demonics. Of course, he even concealed the previous situation of the Storm Post, and even the number of the Demonics was reduced to two thousand.

Chen Kai naturally knew the reason why Cenarius did this. If the players or the indigenous mercenaries knew that the Deviks in the Rift Valley were all higher Deviks of level 8 or even level 8, no one would go to recruit soldiers, let alone recruit ghosts.

Of course, this information is all for the indigenous people. For players, it is important to be a level or a level 8. As long as they see those rewards, they will be rushing, or the leaders of the Knights' Legion will be rushing. After all, there are many players who are determined to obtain a fief in the game, and more real-life merchants are beginning to notice the considerable economic benefits in the game.

For merchants, 50% of the profit is enough to make them surround themselves like flies staring at eggshells, and the profits in the game have at least made money to 00%. In addition to the economic crisis in reality, countries are either laying off employees or cutting budgets, or setting up trade protection barriers. The only economic growth point in the world is almost related to Ethia, whether it is peripherals or various souvenir dolls, they can be sold for money as long as they are labeled.

Of course, what is more important is the operation of capital in the game. According to what Chen Kai has learned now, more and more games are impacted by consortiums in reality. Especially the large consortiums in Europe, they are constantly intervening in the game to obtain more resources. It turns out that the Dark Night, the largest guild in Europe, has basically been completely dismembered by these consortiums.

Carl has been forced to take his more loyal teammates to run to Irving and Mike who are in similar situations as him. The three largest game guilds in Europe now have less than 5,000 members. Compared with the number of 2 million people online in Europe, it has almost fallen to a third-rate guild.

However, these have nothing to do with Chen Kai. For him, he is a player first, and secondly, a professional player who wants to earn money in the game. Once again, he has several brothers asking him to support and pay his salary. So the more groups enter the game, the more beneficial it is for him, so that his gold coins can be circulated through the black market and exchange for higher profits.

But what Chen Kai is concerned about at the moment is not the issue of profit, but the damn gold coins. They only have one gold coins, and it takes at least two days to reach the post where Xu Fei and the others are. Most of the time spent in these two days slowly, with a speed of only 0 miles per hour at most.

Chen Kai only had enough gold coins to exchange for some bread, plus two broken blankets. If Chen Kai had put these items in the past, Chen Kai would not even look at them, but now he could only grit his teeth and bargain with the merchants. After buying them, he would take a few pieces of hot media.

With the things in the package, Chen Kai and the other three followed the players and adventurers to the Great Rift Valley in a very shabby manner. As the first troops recruited by Cenarius, these were the better professionals in Altinisri, and the most numerous were those players.

Most of these players are in a relatively upstream position, which is at level 35 and 6. Although they are not particularly powerful than the fourth-level advanced players, they are obviously much more mature than those who have just entered level 3.

Of course, Chen Kai estimated that these players were just going to explore the way, to see if those Mobiks are really as powerful as those in the video. If there is a bargain to take, those Mobiks will probably face a larger number of players who rushed over for leveling.

"Huh~~ I really didn't expect that the night in the Great Rift Valley would be so cold." Fei Yun has gradually recovered after two days of adjustment. Of course, if he was allowed to live in his warm tent at this moment, Fei Yun would feel in a better state.

"You are in a hurry to rush, otherwise we wouldn't have stayed here to hide from the rain." Su Xinghe said as he looked at the heavy rain outside. Their current location was in a hole on the Great Rift Valley Commercial Road. This place was specially opened to facilitate merchants and adventurers to avoid the heavy rain. Although it was only more than one meter wide, it could still hide from the pouring rain outside with its back against the rock wall.

"Okay, if you have time to quarrel, come and help me build a bonfire. When I came here, I grabbed an arrow pig and put it in my backpack. Now I'm just roasting it for a while." Chen Kai said to the two of them with a dark face. Because he couldn't master the method of using fire media for the first time, the result was that he lit the smoke and smoked him so much that he coughed.

When they heard the roasted piglet, Fei Yun and Su Xinghe immediately became energetic. To be honest, they felt uncomfortable with the few pieces of dry bread they ate for lunch. Although the bread was roasted on the fire, it was still very unpalatable and a little irritating.

With the help of the two, the bonfire was quickly lit, and a processed piglet of about twenty kilograms was quickly placed on the rack. Although Chen Kai and the other three were lazy people who didn't cook much in the game, and most of the food was handled by a few girls, they were all good at barbecuing. After all, the girls didn't want to do a lot of smoked and fire-baking things, so they gave them to a few boys to do in turn.

The plump piglet quickly turned golden under the scorching flame, and drops of oil gradually dripped into the bonfire along its body. Fei Yun watched the roasted piglet dripping, but did not forget to add firewood to the fire below. Chen Kai and Su Xinghe grabbed the iron stick with the arrow piglet and kept turning, and brushed the wild honey and salt water found in the rift.

In addition to these, Chen Kai also stuffed some spices into the belly of the pig, including wild anise and cinnamon found, and of course some auxiliary spices. They were all found on the way to come, and some were specialties from the Great Rift Valley.

If Chen Kai took these things out of the Rift Valley and sold them, it would probably be worth some gold coins. Unfortunately, the druids strictly controlled the entry and exit of the materials inside, which would break Chen Kai's dream of exchanging these spices for money. Therefore, Chen Kai could only invest these valuable spices in the waste of roasted piglets, but this allowed Chen Kai and the other three to enjoy a delicious meal, if they could wait until the roasted piglets were cooked.

One kilometer away from the cliff where Chen Kai and the others stayed, a black spot was moving slowly and firmly in the pouring rain. When his feet stepped on the ground, the rain under his feet immediately turned into a solid ice surface, and then it was crushed by him.

Around his body, all the rain turned into ice beads and fell to the ground as soon as it touched his body, and a trace of clear cold air floated on his body. Therefore, no matter how heavy the rain was around, his snow-white cloth robe was not stained with even a drop of rain. His light blue beard and snow-white hair were slowly floating in the cold wind, and as his body slowly walked towards the depths of the Great Rift Valley.

If Irand Wen saw this old man, he would soon run out and kneel in front of him, because the old man was his teacher, Frost Sword Saint Harunkay. He is not the unknown holy-level powerhouse like the one-eyed Harunkay of the Blood Rain Mercenary Group. Frost Sword Saint Harunkay is the most powerful existence among the entire Frost Swordsman. It is said that his ability to directly condense water droplets in the air to form an ice field a hundred meters wide.

In the eyes of those Frost Swordsmen, as long as Harunkay advances to the legend, they can openly raise a sign to recruit disciples in the Swords Association. Instead of just recruiting students secretly like now, they have to register with the Swords Association after recruitment. Because the swordsman profession without legendary powerhouses is not recognized by the Swords Association, they need to let the majority of professional apprentices understand the heights they can reach in the future. Only the goals they can see can become role models for these swordsman apprentices.

However, these are not important to Chen Kai. He only knew that his arrow pork seemed to be divided, especially when the old man walked straight towards here. But to Chen Kai's surprise, the old man who looked very powerful did not ask him for food, but asked a question that made Chen Kai stunned.
