Chapter 95 The plan and the arrival of the strong
Since he arrived in Heiyan City, the gold coins on Xu Yue have been spent like flowing water. Although he has made a lot of money, he cannot resist his way of spending money that almost relies entirely on resources to pile up his own strength. It can be said that so far, most of Xu Yue's opponents have not been killed by his strength, but have been killed by his massive amount of gold coins.
Why do you say that? Just look at which magician who is only a second-level magician has almost piles of magic potions and magic equipment. Not to mention those numerous precious potions, the magic equipment on Xu Yue can crush two levels of professionals higher than him.
It would be good if other magicians can have several magic items of the same level as theirs or a slightly higher level. After all, the financial resources of a magician are generally linked to the strength of a magician. It is a huge pressure for low-level mages to buy high-level magic items in terms of financial resources.
But looking at the magic equipment on Xu Yue, he used the third-level staff left by Oward when he was a magic apprentice. When he advanced to level one, he had a third-level robe and a level five-level magic item such as "Breath of Ice Dragon". Combined with a large number of third-level magic rings in his storage ring and magic boots on his feet, these things may be a huge expense even if they are placed on a large noble with a rich status.
Just looking at Xu Yue's fighting style, you can find that every time he directly puts a shield on himself before the battle, and the level of this magic shield must exceed the level of the opponent. After he is invincible, he relies on his own fireball technique to knock the opponent into a scum. This rogue killing makes every opponent who fights him extremely depressed. If you don't break the shield when you hit the opponent, the opponent can attack you unscrupulously. This practice of crushing the opponent entirely by relying on equipment is really few magicians who can afford it.
However, it is great to crush the opponent with the equipment piled up by gold coins, and it is also very generous to rely on many magic potions to fight against the opponent head-on without worrying about injuries. However, this method also determines that the funds required to be invested are also a huge and unimaginable number in the eyes of others. Xu Yue has a pure container, which almost requires capital. If he is another second-level magician, even if he keeps selling the potion for 24 hours a day, he will probably die.
However, although the pure container business can bring him huge funds, due to the war, Aivo's business has been stopped for a long time. Now he is waiting for money to use, and the only reserve is also used to maintain the operation of the guards. Moreover, there are not many customers who can buy a large number of high-end pure containers at one time like an elf. Even if the next pure container business is profitable, it can only be a long-lasting flow. Although this long-lasting profit per month in some people's opinion, it is still too little for Xu Yue's current way of spending.
By the time he returned from the Underworld, the gold coins left on him were only enough to spend on food and accommodation. He couldn't afford any magic equipment or potion to buy. But among the things he had to do next, there were a few things that had to be purchased from the Magic Guild. The so-called "positioning teleportation scroll" that Ethan reimbursed for him and the money for the robes he had to compensate him did exactly what he had to do.
After the war, the Magic Guild returned to normal order, and there were not as many magicians who came here to stay as they did during the war. However, because Xu Yue had a lot of popularity in the previous wars, the mages here basically knew him. Some mages who came to the Magic Guild to do business greeted him politely after seeing him.
Xu Yue returned the gifts politely to these magicians. After that, he went directly to the guild's remote trading room. Some of the things he wanted were often treasured or valuable items from some magic items. If he did not have certain permissions in the guild, he would really not be able to buy them.
Fortunately, when Wood, the vice president of the Black Rock City Magic Guild, slandered him for hiding his own level and avoiding missions because of his random suspicion, the Magic Guild promised or gave him some compensation, and this compensation was to increase his purchase authority of items that had only one level to level two. He was quite satisfied with this, which was the same as the purchase authority of some insiders of the Magic Guild.
"Give me a bottle of 'camouflage potion', a bottle of 'full potion' and a bottle of 'invisible potion', and then I remember that there seemed to be a robe called 'Guardian' in the last item displayed by the General Guild. Then I wanted a storage ring with an area of 100 square meters." Xu Yue opened his mouth in the remote trading room, like picking cabbage in the vegetable market, and reported a lot of things to buy to the alchemy life that received him. This made the alchemy life, which had always had few emotions, reacted half a beat before he could react. This was the first time he saw someone purchasing magic items like vegetables.
"The items you want to buy require a total of 1.82 million gold coins." Alchemy Life calculated it and quoted a price that was astronomical to ordinary people. This is mainly because the storage space that Xu Yue wanted was an astonishing 1.4 million gold coins, and the price of the level 4 robe was as huge as 300,000 gold coins. These two things alone reached 1.7 million.
Xu Yue now only had the 900,000 gold coins that Ethan gave him, which was certainly not enough to pay the bill. However, he was prepared for this, and snapped his fingers and said, "Pay 900,000 first, and the rest will be signed by borrowing and signing a magic contract."
After hearing his words, Alchemy Life didn't say anything more, but directly teleported over a magic contract and said, "Please sign your name after reading the terms."
Xu Yue has done this kind of loan method once. Moreover, with the contract of the Magic Guild, it is impossible to cheat such a little mage like him for such a little money, so he simply looked at the contract and signed his name.
He replaced the storage ring passed down by Oward in his hand with the newly obtained super-large magic ring and poured everything in. He was like he was going to buy a storage ring with a large space, but he always encountered places where money was needed. So he never made up his mind to buy it. However, in this plan, a large-capacity storage ring was a must, which was directly related to his final profit.
After Xu Yue came out of the Magic Guild, he went out of the city gate of Black Rock City. After leaving the city, he did not walk on those avenues, but went directly into Yege Forest. After walking in the forest for four or five hours, he felt that it was almost gone, so he carefully found a very hidden tree hole. Then he walked into the tree hole. After covering the hole from the outside with some plants, he took out the bottle of "camouflage potion" he bought from the storage ring and drank it.
A smell of orange water spread out from his mouth, and then he began to appear in his mind the image he wanted to disguise. His body began to grow rapidly in a short period of time, and various parts of his body also began to change rapidly, looking like a pool of melted glue.
Just over a dozen seconds passed, and a troll with blue skin with two ivory-like teeth appeared in the tree hole.
Xu Yue moved his legs and feet a little disliked. The sudden heightening made him feel uncomfortable. He touched the two ivory-like teeth protruding from his mouth, and shook his head a little awkwardly. In order to make himself familiar with this body as soon as possible, he moved his hands and feet in the narrow space of the tree hole for a long time. Fortunately, this tree hole was a huge ancient tree that needed more than a dozen hugs, and the space inside was spacious enough.
After adapting for half an hour, Xu Yue felt that he could control his current body freely. This was mainly because the effects of the "camouflage potion" only changed the appearance, and the changes inside the body were not much. Otherwise, it would probably take a long time for him to control his current body freely.
After feeling that it was almost done, Xu Yue took out the newly bought "Guardian" robe. He saw that the robe had much less magical diversity than the previous level 3 robe, and there was no storage space. However, the only reason why Xu Yue liked this robe among the many robes was that because this robe concentrated its functions to a point, it increased its protection ability to maximize.
This Guardian's robe only has a magic "Crystal Wall" that can be cast three times a day. In terms of magic level, this level 4 magic is the first level than the constant magic "Ice Barrier" level on his "Breath of Ice Dragon". However, because the "Crystal Wall" can only generate a crystal-shaped wall to protect one direction, but because of the concentration of energy, its defense is even similar to the level 5 magic of "Ice Barrier" with all-round protection.
Of course, if it were just like this, Xu Yue would not choose this robe. After all, he already has a level 5 magic like "Ice Barrier", so there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy a level 4 single-direction protective magic item. The reason why he bought this robe is because the magic of "Crystal Wall" can not only be used alone, but also can be well integrated with other protective magic. After the fusion, the defense ability of other protective magic can be greatly improved, and the fused shield will have the ability to rebound against the attacks it is subjected.
The special fusion ability of the "Crystal Wall" is enough to double the defense of the "Ice Barrier", which has already caught up with the defense of level 6 protective magic. However, because of its special structure, the possibility of successfully engraving on magic equipment is very low, so the price of magic equipment with this magic is very high. This is also why the price of this level 4 robe is almost as fast as the price of "Breath of Ice Dragon" in level 5 is also the price of top magic equipment.
What Xu Yue has to do this time is very dangerous. Then increasing his own protection has become the top priority of this trip. If you buy a level 6 protective magic item directly, the price will be really unaffordable with his current gold coins. Even if you borrow from the Magic Guild, there is an amount limit. With his authority, it is already the limit. This amount is not enough to buy a level 6 magic item after purchasing the large-capacity space ring.
The "Guardian" robe also has the function of deformation, which is a must-have ability for advanced robes. After Xu Yue activated the ability to transform, this robe turned into a green sacrificial robe that trolls often wear.
Then, after opening the Piercing Gate, he went straight back to the room in the Troll Underground Palace for the slut. This time, he did not walk out with a swagger, but first cast a "Defensive Shield" on himself with a staff before walking out of the Piercing Gate with the shield.
There was no one else in the troll underground palace, which made Xu Yue breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't want his plan to fail at the beginning. Because the door of this room was closed, there was only a trace of fire in the room that was dark and there was a flash of fire from the crack of the door.
Xu Yue casually cast a zero-level spell "Lighting Technique", and the entire room was illuminated. He carefully looked at the surroundings and found that someone had turned it around. However, it seemed that the people who flipped here did not care much. Only some large items that could hide people were turned and moved. Other small items moved, no one moved.
Xu Yue had long expected this. His disappearance would inevitably cause a large-scale search by the trolls, and this utility room, as a place not far from the passage he collapsed at that time, would inevitably be searched. But no troll would have thought that he could actually rely on the means of the Piercing World Gate to travel freely, so the trolls searched would only pay attention to some places where people could hide.
After walking towards a corner where the debris was piled up, Xu Yue groped under a small box to find the positioning gem he had hidden here at that time, which completely let his heart go down. It can be said that this positioning gem is related to the success or failure of his plan this time. If this gem is discovered by the troll and destroyed, then he may have to go back and take a shower and go to bed.
After hiding the gem again, Xu Yue took out a bottle of "invisible potion" and drank it. Although he had become a troll with the effect of "disguised potion", his biggest flaw was that he could not speak or understand the troll language. This was obviously impossible for the identity of the troll priest he played. So before the plan officially began to be implemented, he still needed to hide his figure. Only after the scene he expected appeared, he could rely on the troll's appearance to take advantage of the troll's disguise to take advantage of the troll's appearance.
After carefully pushing open the door of the utility room, Xu Yue first poked his head out to observe the situation on both sides before carefully walking out of the house. Then he followed his memory and walked again towards the huge underground space that sealed Serule. Along the way, he found that the troll guards and patrol teams along the way suddenly increased several times, and even many patrol teams had troll sacrifices.
Looking at the magical items held by the patrol team and the troll priests who were specially used to detect invisible effects, Xu Yue frowned with a headache. He had expected this situation, but he did not expect that the patrols of these trolls would be so strict. Almost every section of the passage, a team of trolls would march relative to each other and use anti-invisible magic items to explore the surroundings, and even the rooms on both sides were not spared.
If it were someone else, it would be impossible to continue to be invisible and not be discovered under this search method, because these trolls did not let go of any dead corner. Xu Yue relied on the gap before the two teams of trolls met, first hid in a certain room and ran back to the earth with the Piercing Gate. After the time was estimated to be about the same, he used Piercing Gate to return. With this method, he finally came to the gate of the huge underground space smoothly along the way.
This time, Xu Yue did not enter the hall rashly again. Although he didn't know what methods were arranged in that hall. However, according to the previous introduction of the troll priest, this hall could make any invisible unit unable to hide. So this time he lurked in a room near the door, leaning against the hole in the door, he could clearly see the situation in the door.
After entering this room, Xu Yue finally relaxed. Although he leaned against the Piercing Gate to avoid the search of the trolls, he was almost discovered because he couldn't find a suitable room to hide. So he was always tense.
He looked at the room he was in and saw that the layout should be used to rest for the troll guards, but now these troll guards have been transferred to search, and it is unlikely that they will come back in a short period of time.
Xu Yue found a seat at the door and sat on the ground and rested. The next thing he had to do was wait.
Speaking of his plan this time, it was also the idea that he had when he explored the underground palace after breaking up with Alex. During his previous investigation, he accidentally discovered the warehouse of supplies used by the trolls to store in the underground palace. If this is the case, he didn't care much. After all, most of the supplies that supply hundreds of thousands of people should be food weapons and other things. Even if he could find them secretly, they would not be able to be transported away in a short time. Besides, unless all these things are packaged, the benefits they can bring to him will be given priority.
But when he passed one of the large stone chambers in the warehouse with strict defense, he saw a troll priest who happened to come to the warehouse to extract a lot of magic materials. Among them were magic potions and some precious magic metals. The things that the troll took away were very valuable to ordinary magicians.
After discovering this situation, Xu Yue deliberately stayed near the place for a while, and during this period, he found that several trolls and troll priests took out and stored various magical items. So he judged that this warehouse might be the place where trolls used to store magical items and magical materials.
Although he was jealous after discovering this, he didn't think too much about it for the time being. The protection of the warehouse was too strict. The two teams of troll guards with at least level three levels at the door were enough to make anyone who wanted to sneak in give up their thoughts. And if they attacked for a strong attack, then are the hundreds of thousands of trolls in the underground palace dead? Unless they are crazy, they will have the idea of attacking for a strong attack.
However, after the scholars of Cayr in Black Rock City told the fact that Serule was a legendary strong man, Xu Yue's heart became active. If such a troll with a terrifying strength was resurrected, the closest Kingdom of Shia would probably be the first to suffer. After all, the troll had already sacrificed more than 100,000 people in Red Maple City to resurrect Serule. If the Kingdom of Shia did not respond to this, it would probably be a loss in the country in China that would lose confidence in the royal family and the top leaders. This would be an unbearable loss for a country like the Kingdom of Shia that was less than a hundred years old and wanted to be enterprising.
In order to resurrect Serule, the trolls were to restore the glory of the troll empire in the past. If they wanted to rebuild the troll empire, it was obviously not a good choice to rebuild the empire in a barren land. Then occupying an existing kingdom is the fastest way. In fact, the trolls are already doing this. Just looking at them leaving a large number of trolls walking in the occupied Red Maple City, you can see that these guys probably hit the place where the troll empire was established on the Kingdom of Shia.
Xu Yue can see this, and then the senior management of the Kingdom of Shia after receiving the news will definitely be able to see it. So for the matter of Serule, the Kingdom of Shia will definitely make corresponding reactions. Once Serule, the legendary strongman of the Troll Empire, is completely resurrected, it will be a huge trouble for the Kingdom of Shia. Even if the legendary strongman behind the Kingdom of Shia cannot deal with Serule, then the entire kingdom may really fall into the hands of the trolls.
Therefore, the best choice for the Kingdom of Shia after getting the news is to take action before Serule was completely resurrected, whether it was to kill the troll in the underground palace to interrupt Serule's resurrection, or to find a way to completely kill this legendary troll before Serule broke free from the seal, these are much better than to let Serule completely resurrect before dealing with it.
As for whether Xu Yue had just passed the news to the top leaders of the Kingdom of Shia when he rushed to the Troll Underground Palace in Black Rock City, he believed that when he encountered such an urgent matter that threatened the existence of the Empire itself, the reaction of the top leaders of the Kingdom of Shia was absolutely extremely efficient. I am afraid that the top strong men in the Kingdom have been mobilized now, and even the legendary strong man behind the Kingdom might have come.
As for how long it takes to get here from the capital of the Kingdom of Shia? You should know that there is a teleportation array in the Tarenmiya continent. Although the requirements for teleportation array are very high because of the desire to teleport people, the resources it consumes are also amazing. Therefore, even some major forces rarely use this teleportation array. However, with the foundation of the Kingdom of Shia, in the face of such an emergency, it is still possible to teleport a group of top-level powerhouses directly to Black Rock City.
As for these powerful men after teleporting over, it is easy to find the location of the underground palace by relying on the positioning gem he left under the underground palace. With the ability of a level nine strong man, he can already fly for a long distance. The time it takes to reach the underground palace position in the center of Yege Forest in a short time is also very short.
Xu Yue even suspected that the top strong men were probably on the way to Heiyan City.
In fact, the real situation was similar to what he guessed. Shortly after the Lord of Ethan passed the message to the Kingdom of Shia, a message was sent to Ethan's hands through the teleportation array. After reading this message, Ethan immediately arranged for the people on his side to activate the teleportation array located in the underground secret room of the Lord of the City.
After waiting for less than half of the time of glory, the teleportation array in the secret room lit up dazzling light. After the light dimmed, three people were already standing above the teleportation array. Even though these three people tried their best to restrain their momentum, just a trace of power displayed made Ethan, the level seven-level strong man, feel a strong sense of oppression.
Ethan forcibly suppressed the fear that arose because of the other party's momentum. He took two steps and lowered his head and performed a respectful manner and said, "Three sirs, I am Ethan, the city lord of the Black Rock Formation, and I am here to wait for the arrival of the three sirs."
The leading man in his forties who looked thin and looked like a soldier waved his hand and said, "No need to say nonsense, the top leaders of the Kingdom have already understood the situation. This time the three of us will deal with the matter."
After hearing the man's words, Ethan still asked respectfully: "I wonder what the three adults need us to do?"
The leading man looked at him and said, "This time we will directly raid the underground palace where the trolls are located, and at the same time defeat the main force of the trolls. We will solve the problem of Serule. But those trolls who escaped need to take people to deal with it. If you kill them or capture them, you will do whatever you want. This time the kingdom is determined to deal with the trolls' affairs at once."
Ethan was shocked after hearing his words, but he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, follow your instructions, sir. I will mobilize the soldiers toward the destination, but our speed cannot be compared with the three sirs. We may not be able to stop all the trolls who have fled."
The leading man said indifferently: "It's enough to stop it, just give those guys a profound lesson. If you deal with the matter here, we'll leave first."
"Yes! I'll send you three lords!" Ethan hurriedly led the three out of the city lord's mansion. After watching the three flew away directly as soon as they left the gate, Ethan was relieved. Then he hurried back to find Relf and discussed the matter of mobilizing the army.
At this time, Xu Yue was sitting by the door of the room, looking through the crack of the door as the sacrificial priests were constantly entering and leaving the underground space in the aisle outside. Each priest who came here held a pot of the same that the priest he had seen had used to carry the "life source power" and "soul mist".
Obviously, the trolls here accelerated their plan to resurrect Sairur after they discovered that the plan of their own and others was likely to have been leaked. He silently counted the number of clay pots these trolls took in, and the expression on his face became increasingly difficult to look.
These numerous pots constantly indicate that a large number of humans have lost their lives, and it also indicates that the resurrection of Serule is getting shorter and shorter. He can even feel the pressure coming from the direction of that space becomes stronger and stronger, and has reached a level that he can clearly feel even if he is so far away.
"Is it too late?" Xu Yue looked at the entrance of the huge space with some concern, and his face became more and more serious. If Serule really recovered completely before the strong men of the Kingdom of Shia came, then he would definitely open the Passing World Gate and return to the Black Rock City without saying a word, and then take Ellie and Aiwo to leave the Kingdom of Shia as fast as possible. Although he had never seen the battle of the legendary strong man. However, as long as he had a brain to think about it, even if he was slightly affected, it would probably be enough to knock a person of his level into a slag.
Suddenly, just as he was waiting anxiously, a low roar came from the direction of the entrance of the space, accompanied by a heavy pressure. Even if this pressure was far away, it gave people a feeling of cruelty and blood.
"Oh no! Is it too late?" Xu Yue was so scared that she almost opened the gate to escape after feeling the pressure. However, after feeling it carefully, the roaring sound was filled with pain and weakness. Moreover, he could feel that the aura of the seven sealed metal pillars was still firmly suppressing the source of the pressure.
"Fortunately, it seems that Serule should not have been completely resurrected. I'm afraid the power of the seal will make it difficult for him to recover easily." He thought to himself after breathing a sigh of relief.
However, this did not make him much easier. Judging from the voice just now, Deserul probably had initially escaped from the state of death, but there was still a long way to break the seal and completely recover. But as long as you come back to life, I think that as long as you have enough "life power" and "soul mist", it will only take a short time to restore to the peak state and break the seal.
Just when Xu Yue was worried, a violent shaking suddenly came from one direction of the underground palace, and there was a huge sound. Suddenly, the trolls in the underground palace became panicked, and many trolls began to run in the direction of the loud noise, while other trolls ran towards Sairur's seal.
However, soon after the scolding of many troll priests, these trolls calmed down. Some trolls were sent in the direction of loud noises, while the troll priests accelerated the number and speed of transporting pots.
Xu Yue felt the intensity and direction of the vibration a little, and he judged that such a degree of vibration is absolutely impossible for professionals below level seven to cause it.
"I finally arrived. It seems not too late!" He thought so, while standing up, taking advantage of the chaos of the trolls outside the door, he opened the door and walked out.
Chapter completed!
