Chapter 14: Opening up the territory!

(The pneumonia has been updated, do you know? It makes me embarrassed. Really....)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the camp, Murphy immediately locked herself in the room.

He raised his hand to remove the ruby ​​ring from his index finger, Murphy let out a long breath, and then sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. In fact, when he saw the old monster-like halter elders, he knew that these old things had no intention of cooperating with Athens. From the tone of these old things, Murphy could see that they were not friendly to humans.

But since they have no intention of cooperating with Athens, why should they meet themselves?

There is no doubt that this is Queen Evanna's insistence!

According to Murphy's speculation, the horde group is likely to be divided into two factions now, one is the traditional horde power, that is, the power controlled by the cursed horde elders. They represent the past of a group and also represent the cursed inheritance of the horde! The other faction is probably a new group consisting of the high hordes with the horde Queen Evanna as the core, which has special evolution from the curse of the curse.

From the eyes and tone of the old monster-like hawk elders, Murphy didn't see any intention of their intention to cooperate. Obviously, these old guys did not want Queen Evanna to form an alliance with Athens to obtain help outside the clan.

From the attitudes of those hawk elders towards Queen Evanna, Murphy could conclude that the entire hawk elders should still be controlled by these elders. However, the power controlled by Queen Evanna should not be too weak, otherwise the hawk elders would probably not pay attention to her opinions at all and chose to meet Murphy to discuss the possibility of cooperation. There is no way to ignore Queen Evanna's opinions and do not want Athens' power to intervene, so we can only find a way to mess up this matter!

At that time, Murphy's mind was full of thoughts, and then he had a bold idea.

So he made a quick decision and stopped wasting time with the Eagle Elders, and immediately turned his back and left! However, before leaving, he put the ruby ​​ring that he gave to him when the Eagle Queen Evana was saved as a thank you on his index finger. At that time, Murphy left with his hands behind his back. Although he looked fierce, if Evana Queen Evana saw the ruby ​​ring on his finger, he would understand what he wanted to express.

Before each ethnic group undergoes change and adapts to a new era, there will inevitably be an alternation of internal struggles between old and new powers.

Just like the noble parliament and the Athenian alliance, this represents the alternation of powers between the new and the old! Some rulers of the old era were very powerful, suppressing the birth of new powers, while others were very weak and easily overthrown by new powers. Just as the gnolls who advocated violence were easily replaced by higher gnolls who evolved and mastered more powerful and smarter minds.

The Eagle tribe represents the power of the old power rule, and is obviously not weak either.

A group that is maintained by the balance of order will be more bound before the new order is born. And a race that is itself very chaotic and is completely maintained by violence will be easier to accept the new order. Because for such races that maintain rule by violence, all problems can be solved by killing all those in power in the past.

"Governor, all the hawks have left." A Spartan conqueror pushed open the door and said in a deep voice.

Although he turned his back on the spot and left the woods, Murphy left a man to investigate the whereabouts of the hawks. Ordinary scouts obviously couldn't handle these weird hawks, so they could only send Spartan conquerors. At present, only these powerful warriors who were given power by the god of war can fight against indigenous powerhouses like the hawks.

Ordinary indigenous people may be able to deal with them by relying on the army of Athens, but those special existences can only rely on the power of the temple.

"Leave?" Murphy frowned slightly when he heard this, and nodded.

"However, Governor. After the hawks left, I found this under the tree beside me." Speaking of this, the Spartan conqueror took out a ring with emerald green gems and handed it to Murphy.

ring!?

Murphy reached out to take it and couldn't help but look it carefully.

It was a very complicated and gorgeous ring with an extremely obvious style of a high elves. They liked the cumbersome and gorgeous runes, and often burned these runes on some accessories on their bodies, and even embroidered them with silver thread and gold edges on their clothes. The hawks inherited part of the blood of the high elves, so their appreciation and style also maintained the tradition of the high elves.

Playing with the ring in his hand, Murphy seemed to suddenly see some symbol in a trance, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing.

"What's going on?" Murphy thought to himself.

He was completely sure that he seemed to have seen some symbol just now, and it would definitely not be an illusion, but when he went to observe carefully again, there was nothing.

Murphy walked back and forth with the gorgeous and elegant ring full of elf style, constantly trying to observe from all angles.

Finally, when he placed the ring in the sun and looked at the emerald green gem at a 45-degree angle, he saw the strange symbol in his eyes again.

‘m’?

Under the sunlight, the emerald green gemstones have a more verdant color, forming a ‘m’ logo.

"What does this mean?" Murphy thought.

If nothing unexpected happens, this ring should be left quietly by Evanna, the Queen of Evanna. After all, there is no possibility that such a precious gem ring will suddenly appear in the wilderness. Since she left this ring, she obviously understood Murphy's intention to leave fiercely. Since she understood, she should know that Murphy planned to avoid those eccentric hawk elders who had a strange temper and discussed it privately.

As long as everyone understands it, the rest will be much easier to do.

"Is this ring a pair with the ring she gave me?" Murphy looked at the patterns on the emerald green ring, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

He took off the ruby ​​ring on his index finger, compared it, and immediately found that the patterns of the two rings were indeed very similar! So he also put the other ring in the sun and observed the ruby ​​inlaid on it at a 45-degree angle. When he saw it, he found something strange. Because on the red envelope of the other ring, a curved and stylised "S"-shaped logo appeared in a lighter color.

ms?

"What does this mean?" Murphy put two rings in his palm and thought in confusion.

Among the 26 rune letters, m represents water, which refers to the most inclusive part of the water element, which can carry all impacts, and is the most commonly used rune letter in arcane defense magic. S represents flame, which refers to the most aggressive and violent force in the fire element. For example, those explosive arcane magic must use s as the core of the spell.

After watching for a while, Murphy felt a little confused.

So he changed the two rings to one position, and he suddenly felt that it was much smoother to read.

Unfortunately, his limited arcane knowledge still failed to figure out what the meaning of these two rune letters burned on these two rings.

Putting away the two rings, Murphy decided to wait until Queen Evanna arrives before asking her if she knows the meaning of these two letters. Both rings look a bit extraordinary because Murphy can feel the elemental power they contain, but he cannot mobilize this elemental power at all, as if it was blocked by something. If you use an academic statement, it is "sealed", and a professional appraiser must judge its origin and carry out corresponding magic removal.

Elemental seal is a phenomenon. Simply put, the power contained in magical objects slowly turns from activity to inertia when they are not used for a long time.

Unsealing is to use the corresponding knowledge to convert them into active elements again.

Almost most magical items obtained from historical relics require a transformation process. In the Arcane Age, people are used to calling it "identification" and must be done by those casters with certain arcane attainments.

A jungle is more than 500 kilometers away from Athens.

This is a land of death full of darkness, fog, and miasma. This is the forbidden zone for most intelligent creatures. Even powerful and stupid ogres will choose to avoid it.

Because, this is the territory of the swamp lizard people.

A forbidden zone for life!

At this moment, teams of strong lizard men are walking out of this jungle full of death traps. They are six to seven feet tall (one foot = 0.3048 meters), covered in gray, green or brown scales. This is their natural armor, which can effectively defend against the slash of swords. Their tails are three to four feet long, used to maintain body balance and can also give the enemy a fatal blow!

Although these lizard men look quite slender, most of them weigh more than 200 to 250 pounds.

They have three fingers, sharp claws, and their black claws have a metallic luster, which can easily tear the enemy's body. Even ordinary leather armor is of no use in their hands!

These lizard men walked out of the swamp in groups. At the front were tall and strong warriors holding simple weapons and shields (they could not smel and their fingers were not flexible and their physiological structures), and at the back were shooters holding bows and arrows (they had certain shooting talents). The simple longbows were made of hard trees and animal tendons. Although they looked very rough, they were powerful.

And at the end of the team, a loud "rumbling" sound came from the rumbling sound.

This group of lizardmen, or the army of lizardmen, is advancing towards the half-elves tribe living on the southern plains border...
