175. Go ahead, Sick Woods


It had just rained in the woods, and the camp was muddy.The smell of decay wafted through the air, and many of the dead trees in the forest were covered with a slimy moss in this hot and humid climate.Putting your foot on it was wet and slippery, and it had a disgusting smell of wood pulp.Ruka the Minotaur pinned the list of merit rewards to the tree at the entrance of the Barbarian slave camp, and then stood under the tree to chat with Justus.Not far from the camp, several barbarian slaves lay on a large wooden bed under a tree, holding their two big feet high, and several natives were holding the huge soles of the barbarian slaves and using a sharp skinning knife to give the barbarian slaves pedicures.These barbarian slaves have lived in the Black Forest for a long time, although they have received ointment from the natives to disperse mosquitoes and treat damp heat and poisonous miasma, but a pair of big feet have been stepping on the water-saturated humus for a long time, and every time they step on it, water will seep out of the footprints, and the barbarian slaves are full of calloused feet, and for a long time in this humid environment, the calluses are slowly soaked away, and recently many barbarian slaves have begun to fester.Although I had the Minotaur Ruka and Justus strictly require the barbarian slaves to wear boots, the barbarian's rotten feet did not improve.I even brought some hydrated lime powder from the imperial capital, but unfortunately the climate here was too humid, and the lime powder in my pocket was piled up in the camp, and it only took two days for it to absorb enough moisture from the air and condense into a large piece of gypsum.This symptom of rotten feet once made the barbarian slaves miserable, the barbarian slaves and the Gilda natives had a good personal relationship, a chance chance that the natives of the Gilda tribe learned that the barbarian slaves had been troubled by rotten feet, so they collected a small purple flower in the forest, this purple stamen is not a magic herb, mashed and combined with the ashes of the grass and trees, the aborigines then used a thin-skinned knife to cut off the festering places on the feet of the barbarian slaves, smeared with this medicinal mud, the rotten feet of the barbarian slaves actually improved.Inside the camp, it is common to see aborigines giving pedicures to barbarian slaves.The natives made a simple type of clogs out of planks and vines, which they gave to barbarian slaves, and it was said that if they walked in the woods, they would not rot their feet.Although this claim has not been verified, the camp is already filled with the sound of rattling.The barbarian slaves were gifted with some delicious spider leg meat, and the barbarian slaves later discovered that these indigenous warriors did not particularly like the roasted spider leg meat, and the indigenous warriors preferred to eat baked wheat cakes and mushroom soup, and the barbarian slaves saved the baked wheat cakes that were usually allocated to them and gave them to the natives of the Gilda tribe.There was some of the most basic communication between the barbarians, slaves, and the natives.The barbarian slaves knew some of the simple needs of the indigenous warriors.These Indigenous warriors preferred to obtain some standard weapons and armor made by the Grimm Empire rather than food, and the barbarian slaves who were skilled in combat occasionally taught the Indigenous warriors some combat skills in order to improve their combat effectiveness.The indigenous warriors also gradually understood that these barbarian slaves actually did not like to sleep in the damp mud, but these barbarian slaves were not good at setting up tents, although the indigenous warriors could not build tree houses in the camp for eight hundred barbarian slaves, but it was still easy to build some simple large wooden beds with branches in the glade, when I returned to the Hiero plane from the imperial capital this time, I found that the barbarian slaves and the indigenous warriors could actually live in a camp very harmoniously, Even Justes was amazed at this simple friendship that transcended race.As for the honest Minotaur warriors, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, and in Iruka's words, wasn't it supposed to be so?

I think the native warriors have a lot of auxiliary potential, like the knightly servants of the Legion of the North Wind who construct the knights, and it seems that the barbarian slaves also need an auxiliary to serve them.A team of Constructed Knights carried the restored Demonic Construct Formations back to the Constructed Knights' camp, and when they passed in front of the barbarian camp, they just happened to see a very eye-catching wooden board hanging on a large tree, and they looked up curiously, and found that the wooden board actually listed a series of blood-stirring messages.On the wooden board was written: Merit Exchange List.After a war, nobles can use these merits to promote their titles, while knights who do not have noble status cannot be promoted, but they can use these merits to promote themselves in the barracks, and they can also sell these unidentified black crystals privately to low-level nobles who do not want to go to the battlefield but want to squeeze into the upper class.An unidentified black crystal, at the beginning of the Plane War, was worth almost ten times as much as an ordinary magic crystal.However, as the plane wars continued to break out in various planes, and some planes continued to win the war, a large number of black magic crystals frantically poured into the imperial capital.This not only led to a significant depreciation of the Black Magic Crystal, but after the depreciation, a piece of Black Magic Crystal that could be exchanged for ten gold coins could only be exchanged for five gold coins.And the initial price of these unidentified black magic crystals with merit was also very expensive, and even reached one unidentified black magic crystal at one time to exchange for ten magic crystals.There are still a lot of nobles in the Grimm Empire who hold a lot of gold coins, and they don't care about using gold coins to buy themselves a beautiful title.After the Battle of the Kampato River in the Warsaw Plane by the Prince of Wales, the value of the black magic crystal with merit was depreciated, and at that time, a black magic crystal could be exchanged for at least seven magic crystals, and then the connection channel between the Kenda plane and the dark hell forces stationed by the Mo family was completely sealed, and the black magic crystals in the skulls of those Nakma people could only be exchanged for four ordinary magic crystals at most.Therefore, the merit of one hundred black magic crystals, on the premise of retaining the value of its own magic crystals, can be exchanged for three hundred magic crystals at most.As for how precious the magic materials on those Spider-Man Overseers are, naturally needless to say, just a set of uninscribed Spider-Man Overseers hard leather armor is worth at least two hundred magic crystals, the power of the giant bear, the shield of the earth, the fangs of the demon snake, these top-level demonic pattern constructions, are also sought after by many lords in the imperial capital, and the only Yerkis scholar who has the ability to sell these three kinds of demonic patterns does not take orders at all, according to normal speaking, a set is only worth one hundred and fifty magic crystals and a top-level demonic pattern construction, Now someone is asking for two hundred magic crystals, but there is no market.Now these Knights of the Borean Legion saw the news on the wooden planks hanging from the trees, and they all expressed great interest.It's just that these Construct Knights, even if they are the luckiest among them, there are only five unidentified Black Magic Crystals, and if the Construct Knights want to obtain these Magic Pattern Fabrics, in addition to working hard to earn merit in the future, they can only piece together everyone's merits, so that they can exchange for these ten sets of Magic Pattern Fabrics.In a short time, Count Desmond led a group of knights and asked me in front of the plank under the tree, "Count Giga, is it true that the list at the gate of the camp says that merit is exchanged for magical equipment?"

It works just as well for our Borean Legion's Constructed Knights?

”"Of course."

I replied.At this time, I said in my heart: Of course, it is specially prepared for you, but I am not embarrassed to hang it at the gate of your camp, as for where the barbarian slaves and orc warriors will use these, it is not that I will give it to whomever I say.Hearing my direct admission, Count Desmond was in high spirits, and immediately asked, "A hundred black magic crystals equivalent to merit can be exchanged for a complete set of Spider-Man Overseers' hard skin demon pattern structures, whether it is the power of the giant bear, the shield of the earth, or the fangs of the demon snake?"

”I coughed lightly and said to him, "Ahem, Earl Desmond, you are retelling the description of the list, isn't it already clearly written!"

”Earl Desmond smirked and said frankly, "I just wanted to confirm with you again. ”Before I could say anything, Count Desmond said, "In that case, on behalf of the Knights of the Borean Legion Construct Order, I will exchange with you for the ten sets of Spider-Man Overseer Hardskin Demon Pattern Fabrics on the list. ”Directly in the name of the Knights of the Legion of the North Wind?

Count Desmond is quite decisive!

As soon as I wrote it, it was all exchanged, and I thought it would last a few days.I reconfirmed to Count Desmond and said, "You've thought about choosing ten top-tier magical pattern builds, right?"

”The Earl of Desmond smiled, patted his chest and said, "I'm sure!"

This kind of top-level magic pattern construction is difficult to buy even in the Grimm Capital. ”"Okay, tell me which magical attribute Magical Pattern Construct you want?"

I asked him.Count Desmond thought for a moment and said to me, "Five sets of Bear Power and five sets of Earth Shield Demon Pattern Structures. ”After saying that, Count Desmond took off a money bag full of black magic crystals from his waist and handed it to me directly, I asked Caterina to take out a thousand ordinary magic crystals and return them to Count Desmond, telling him that these ten sets of magic pattern constructs would be handed over to him one after another within five days of the Grimm Empire.Earl Desmond, who had exchanged for ten sets of magic patterns, seemed to be in a good mood, and after talking a lot in front of me, he exchanged a few words about the next destination, the Sick Wood Forest, which was already on my expedition plan."

What exactly is the magic pattern structure exchanged for five hundred merits?"

As soon as the topic changed, Count Desmond couldn't help but ask."

That's a magic pattern that can be painted on the body."

I told him that I thought he would hold back and not ask.When Earl Desmond heard me say this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he opened the buckle of his shoulder armor and rolled up the cotton shirt inside, revealing a power-amplifying demonic pattern on his shoulder, which was a dark cyan demonic pattern tattooed on his body, and there was a trace of attributeless magic flowing on it."

Like this?"

He asked me casually.I hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it, just a little different." ”Actually, I meant something a little different, but the Earl of Desmond mistook it for that."

Count Jiga, do you know how many magic crystals I spent on tattooing this magic pattern on my body?"

He groaned, leaned closer to me, and asked me, pointing to the magic pattern.Without waiting for me to answer, he directly gave the answer: "You only need fifty magic crystals, and you can ask a famous master Ming to draw a magic pattern suitable for you in the imperial capital." ”In the end, he came to a conclusion: "The price of exchanging the price of five hundred merits for such a magic pattern is too high." ”I smiled and asked him, "It's still different, how about it, would you like to try it?"

”Count Desmond didn't think about it, so he directly shook his head and refused: "Forget it, even I don't have that many merit points" and then said: "As for the knights under my command, they are very interested in those high-level magic weapons. ”I sighed softly, "That's a bit of a shame. ”As soon as I returned to the camp at the Bridge of the Sunwrath on the Hiero plane, our party immediately left the Bridge of the Sunwrath and headed for the Sickwood Forest to the southwest.Perhaps because of this list of merit rewards, the whole team suddenly became active, and many times there would be constructors who took the initiative to ask for battle, to clean up some small strongholds of spider-man warriors along the way, or spider-man scouts wandering in the forest, in the past, these chores of cleaning up garbage were done by Karantso and orc warriors, but now in this case, the constructing knights are much more active.Since we have the approval of the War Trees, the Dryads have carved a tree-lined path for us in the Black Forest, so the path is not difficult to walk.During the past few days of traveling through the Black Forest, I have seized every moment of free time to finally produce ten sets of Spider-Man Overseer crust bevel structures and deliver them to Earl Desmond.Count Desmond asked one of the Constructed Knight to change into the Spider-Man Overseer Magical Pattern Construct on the spot, and saw that the Constructed Knight easily crushed a companion who was stronger than him during the competition.At this time, the construction knights in the North Wind Legion began to face up to these magic pattern constructions that were known as the top level of the first turn.After suffering defeat at the Bridge of the Sunrage, the Nebru Spider abandoned several large spider camps to the southwest, and by the time our army reached the white dead woods, these spider camps were already dead, and even the giant spiders in the camps were hard to find.For this kind of dead wood forest covered with white spider silk, we usually set fire to it before we continue to advance.
