MTL - Bloodline Lord of War-Chapter 145 More Variant Natives

  Chapter 145 More Native Variations

   This red crystal is about the size of a fist. Its shape is a bit like a heart. It is dark red in appearance and not transparent.

  The crystal is located next to the ogre's heart and is connected to the ogre's body. Many blood vessels and tendons are attached to the crystal, as if the crystal grew out of the ogre's body.

  Robin knows that many magical creatures will grow magic crystals in their bodies, which are the source of magic power of magical creatures. However, ogres are not magical creatures, and normally speaking, magic crystals should not appear in their bodies.

   This ogre is very difficult to kill. Could it be related to this red crystal?

  Robin speculated in his mind, and dug out the red crystal with a knife in his hand.

  Holding the **** red crystal in his hand, Robin sensed it a little bit, but he didn't sense the magic power from the crystal.

  Although Robin is not a magician, as an awakened person, he can also sense magic fluctuations.

  Although no magic fluctuations were sensed from the crystal, Robin sensed another kind of energy from it.

This is an energy he has never seen before, cold, dark, bloodthirsty, crazy... This energy seems to be a collection of various negative energies, which makes Robin feel instinctively repulsed and uneasy, and wants to throw this thing away immediately Lose.

   "Boss, what is this? Is it worth it?" Simon stared at the red magic crystal in Robin's hand and asked naively.

  The simple highlander has a simple world view. The things picked from monsters are either valuable or garbage.

   "I don't know what this is." Robin said doubtfully, frowning slightly.

   "It looks like a magic crystal, but it can't sense the magic power fluctuation." Half-elf Luke said aside. Inheriting the elven blood, Luke is more sensitive to magic fluctuations than Robin.

   "Besides, this thing makes me feel very ominous, Lord Baron." Luke added.

   "Take it back first, and let Master Negan take a look at it later. He is well-informed, and he may know what it is." Robin stood up and put this strange red crystal into his arms.

  The three returned to the camp, Robin showed the red crystal to Martha and Saru, but they didn't know what it was. But without exception, they also sensed that kind of strange ability fluctuation from this red crystal, even ordinary people like Martha can sense it.

  Robin felt that this matter was very strange. How could such a strange thing grow in the body of an ogre? He had a vague premonition.

  Because of the sudden appearance of the ogre, vigilance was strengthened in the camp in the second half of the night, but luckily no other abnormalities appeared. In the morning, the group quickly packed their bags and set off on the road in a hurry.

  The rest of the journey was normal. While on the road, Robin also negotiated a deal with Martha.

Right now is the period of major construction of Raging Waves City, and the demand for raw materials is huge, including stone materials, and Martha's Red Stone Town happens to produce good stone materials. In order to please Robin, she offered a very favorable price, and Compared with purchasing goods from Silver Frost City, Red Stone Town is also closer to Raging Waves City. So, the two hit it off almost instantly.

  While negotiating an order for stone materials, Robin also tried his best to sell the ironware produced in Raging Waves City to Martha.

  The ironware business in Raging Waves City has just started, and the market has not yet opened up, so many outsiders don't know about it yet.

  Hearing Robin say that Raging City can mine and smelt iron by itself, and can also forge some low-end ironware by itself, and that an industrial chain is almost formed around the iron and steel industry, Martha was very surprised.

  This shrewd baroness certainly understands that the iron business is a lucrative business in the wilderness.

  In the entire western wasteland, there may be more than 20 lords, large and small, but only Robin's Rage City can do it by themselves.

  Even if you look at the human forces in the entire wasteland, there are only a handful of territories capable of making iron. Moreover, all of those territories had been operating in the wasteland for several years, or even more than ten years, before they achieved such results. As far as Martha knew, Robin had been in the wasteland for less than a year.

Knowing this about Raging City, Robin's weight in Martha's heart suddenly became heavier. She thought in shock: Raging City not only has a strong military force, but also embraces the profiteering business of ironware business. From now on, Raging City The development will be limitless!

  Although Robin only has the title of baron on his head at the moment, his title is very likely to be promoted again in the not-too-distant future!

Martha felt more and more that her vision of seeing people was correct. A single and potential aristocratic young man like Robin could not be found in today's aristocratic circle with a lantern. She made up her mind that Redstone Town must To hug Robin's thigh with all her strength, her own daughter must marry Robin.

  In order to bind the two families together more closely, and Redstone Town did lack ironware, so under Robin's kind promotion, Martha decided to go back to Raging City with Robin to purchase a batch of ironware.

  By the way, Martha has long wanted to see Robin's Raging City.

  …

  A few days later, Robin and his party finally arrived at Raging Waves City. The convoy slowly passed through the unfinished city gate and entered the interior of Raging Waves City.

  Phil sat in the carriage, opened the curtains of the carriage, stared at a pair of big eyes, and looked out of the carriage full of curiosity.

The first impression that Rage City gave Phil was that it was big. Although it was certainly not as big as Silver Frost City, it was the biggest city Phil had ever seen in the wasteland, except for the ruined Wind Castle. It was bigger than the Red Stone City where she lived. The town has more than doubled in size.

A main road leads from the city gate to the lord's mansion in the center of the city. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the main road. What makes Phil feel very novel is that the pedestrians on the main road include not only humans, but also many highlanders and half-elves. , and even many natives in the wasteland, like goblins and hobgoblins.

   Different races live together in Rage City, and everyone seems to be quite harmonious on the surface. This is a scene Phil has never seen in other places.

  In addition to the special residents of Raging City, the atmosphere here also makes Phil feel very special. Everyone's face looks beaming, and they seem to be full of fighting spirit. There are construction sites everywhere in the city, and large-scale construction is being built everywhere. The whole city is like a large-scale construction site.

  Gives the little girl a general impression that Raging Waves City is like the sun at six or seven o'clock in the morning, full of vigor and vitality. In contrast, there is no such feeling in Silver Frost City.

  Phil poked his head out of the carriage window and looked at Robin who was walking in front of the convoy.

Although Phil was very annoyed that her mother wanted to marry her to Robin, but after seeing the thriving scene of Rage City under Robin's rule, the little girl couldn't help being curious about Robin, the lord .

She saw Robin riding at the front of the convoy, and the passers-by all bowed down to salute him, and some people even saw him from a distance, and ran over joltingly, just to give Robin a ripe red apples. Everyone greeted him with a smile. Those smiles were not false flattery, but genuine joy.

  Hmph, he is quite loved by the people. Phil thought to himself.

Robin and his party finally stopped in the open space in front of the lord's mansion. Phil got out of the carriage with the help of his servants. Seeing the somewhat shabby baron's mansion in front of him, Phil frowned slightly in disgust, and said in doubt : This is Baron Robin's residence, it must be too dilapidated.

Seeing that the scale of Rage City is much larger than that of Redstone Town, Phil thought that Robin's Baron's Mansion must be grand and luxurious, at least stronger than hers, but he didn't expect that there was a huge gap with her expectations, even hers was bigger than hers. not on.

Martha got off the horse, she had the same mentality as Phil, but it didn't bother her, she immediately found the right angle, and said a rainbow fart: "Your Baron is really frugal, you must have put all the gold coins in In the construction of the territory, I feel ashamed."

   Robin laughed, but he didn't care too much. He didn't have any special requirements for living, as long as he lived comfortably. So even though I have a little spare money now, the house has not been renovated and has remained the same.

After receiving the news of Robin's return, Aisha and a group of officials from the administrative office, the old butler Homan and a group of servants of the lord's mansion, Tess and a group of army leaders, Janna and a group of caravan captains, a group of dozens of people , were waiting in front of the Lord's Mansion.

  Robin walked over, first greeted everyone, then introduced Martha, and finally introduced Janna to Martha. At present, Janna is in charge of Raging City's business activities.

   "This is Janna, my Minister of Commerce, you can talk about stone and ironware first." Robin introduced to Martha with a smile.

Robin also ordered Homan to prepare a guest room for Martha and her party. Martha and Phil can live in Robin's Lord's Mansion, but the rooms in the Lord's Mansion are limited, and the rest of the accompanying people will not be treated so well. outside.

  After the Lord Lord arranged everything, Aisha suddenly leaned over, with a serious expression, and whispered in Robin's ear: "Master, I have something to tell you, please follow me."

  Robin showed a puzzled expression. Seeing Aisha's serious expression, he knew that there must be something important, so he greeted Martha and left with Aisha.

  Aisha led the way, Robin followed, and the two came to the back of the Lord's Mansion. Robin saw three corpses lying on a flat open space, and each corpse was covered with straw mats.

   "My lord, in the past few days, when Tess and the others were patrolling outside, they found a few very unusual wilderness natives." Aisha turned her head and told Robin.

  Robin's heart skipped a beat immediately, and before Aisha could continue, he said first, "Are they difficult to kill?"

  Aisha showed a surprised expression: "How do you know?"

  But then, the clever half-elf patriarch immediately figured it out, and asked, "My lord, have you also encountered this kind of weird native?"

Robin nodded: "Yes, on the way back, we met an ogre. Luke shot three arrows in a row, each of which hit the head, but there was no way to kill him. In the end, I shot it with a throwing spear , a shot exploded in his head."

   After Robin finished speaking, he walked over and lifted the straw mats from the three corpses. Two gnolls and one hobgoblin are common aborigines in the wasteland.

   Of the three corpses, two had their heads chopped off, and one had almost half of his body chopped off. In addition to these obvious fatal injuries, there were other fatal injuries on the three bodies, such as the chest was pierced and the stomach was cut open. Necrophilia, destroying corpses after they die, is something else.

   Obviously, the current situation belongs to the latter.

   "These three weird natives are in the same situation. It is very difficult to kill them. Even if they stabbed through the heart, they couldn't be killed. In the end, they cut off their heads and finally killed them." Aisha said.

   "Where were these mutant natives found?" Robin frowned, and asked while examining their bodies.

   "One of them was five miles away, and the other two were near Raging Waves City. They wanted to attack the people at that time, but Tess led the deer cavalry to stop them." Aisha replied.

"These mutant natives are very powerful in combat, much stronger than ordinary natives, and they don't seem to have a sense of companionship. The mutant hobgoblin attacked the transport team that built the city wall and tore a hobgoblin on our side to pieces. .and…"

  Aisha recalled, and her beautiful thin eyebrows frowned.

   "And, according to the report of the sentry, as far as the half-elves saw with their own eyes, when they arrived, they saw the mutant hobgoblin pressing our hobgoblin to the ground and sucking the other party's blood."

   "Blood sucking?" Robin turned his head with a surprised expression.

   "Yeah, like a bat."

The hobgoblin's severed head was placed next to the corpse. Robin squatted and leaned over, enduring the stench from the corpse, opened the hobgoblin's mouth, and saw that the hobgoblin's four canines were long and sharp, more than The fangs of a normal hobgoblin are fully twice as long.

  Looking at the abnormal fangs of the hobgoblin, Robin instinctively thought of vampires, or vampires.

According to legend, the blood race is a race that does not belong to this world. They come from another plane. This plane is closely attached to the world where Robin and the others live, just like the two sides of a mirror. People call that world 【abyss】.

  However, the last activity record of the blood race was in ancient times. At that time, the tide of elements had not ushered in the ebb tide, and it was the era when Titans and many races still existed. With the advent of the Great Ebb Tide Era, the Blood Race quickly disappeared into the long river of history. Like the elves, orcs and other races, they also integrated into human beings.

  In the history of the mainland, there were occasional blood awakeners, but they would soon be strangled by all parties. Both the nobles and the church hated the blood awakeners. The last time a blood awakener appeared was more than a hundred years ago. It is generally believed that the blood of the blood has completely disappeared.
