Chapter 360: The Demonic Beast of MistWhite Whale!
The so-called "White Whale of Mist" is naturally familiar to Anastasia and the others.
In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these three magical beasts named "White Whale" are the lifelong enemies of their merchants.
The so-called "White Whale of the Mist" was created by the Gluttony Witch more than 400 years ago on the premise that it is "huge and has a lot of meat that can fill many people's stomachs".
However, the created white whale was dominated by the "gluttony" factor. For four hundred years, it would appear mysteriously somewhere and then devour a large number of creatures or goods.
Although big cities have large populations, they generally have strong barriers and combat capabilities, so smart beluga whales will not choose cities as attack targets.
It is also for this reason that caravans with limited combat capabilities and large populations have become beluga whales' favorite targets.
The reason why it is called the "Beluga of Fog" is because the beluga has the ability to spray thick fog. Whenever it attacks a target, the surrounding area will be plunged into thick fog, and then it will hide its figure in the thick fog.
Waiting for an opportunity to strike in the fog.
Therefore, every time the beluga appears and disappears, there is almost no trace to follow. Whether you want to conquer or pursue it, it is not a simple matter.
And in addition to the troublesome abilities of the white whale, its magic power and combat power are also extremely powerful.
The previous Sword Master, Thearesia Van Astrea, who was Reinhardt's grandmother, once went to defeat this magical beast of fog, but the result was that the previous Sword Master died as a result.
No one knows the specific circumstances of Thearesia's battle with the White Whale, but many people also believe that part of the reason why Thearesia died was because Reinhardt received the protection of the "Sword Master".
As we all know, the "Sword Master" blessing of the Astraea family is different from other blessings. It is an inherited blessing, but it can only be owned by one person in a world.
The young Reinhardt received the protection of the family's "Sword Master", which meant that Thearesia was going to die.
Of course, this is just a guess. After all, even if Theresia died in the battle with the white whale, it would not be a strange thing.
As the strongest of the three major monsters, White Whale would not have caused trouble if it had been weak. For more than 400 years, no one has done anything to it.
Over the past 400 years, there have been many people who have gone to hunt down the beluga whale, but basically no one has come back alive. Even for most people, no one knows what the beluga whale looks like or what abilities it has.
.
Many of the goods in question this time were intended to be used by Anastasia to win over the nobles of the royal capital and establish connections, so they were very expensive.
If this batch of goods cannot be recovered, the losses to the Hexin Chamber of Commerce will be severe.
And in addition to the problem of goods, the "Iron Fang" mercenary group that has lost contact cannot be ignored.
Cultivating a private mercenary group is already a huge expense, not to mention that the members of the mercenary group from Kalalaki to the royal capital this time are all elite members of the Iron Fang.
All in all, the sudden bad news has now directly disrupted Anastasia's original plan.
If she loses this batch of goods and the elites of these mercenary groups, it will be even more difficult for her to win the King Selection Ceremony.
"Tell me the location of the incident. With the elite strength of our 'Iron Fang' mercenary group, even if the opponent is a Mist Monster, we should not be killed instantly.
If I take people there now, I should be able to rescue some people and bring back the goods."
The Mist Monster is only interested in food. Inedible goods are sometimes swallowed together, but sometimes if you are lucky, they are left where they are.
Wilkin understood the importance of this cargo to Anastasia, and at the same time, he could not ignore the trapped mercenary group members, so he put on all the equipment and planned to go to the scene of the incident to rescue.
"You want to rely on these people to defeat the "White Whale of the Mist"? What's the difference between this and going to die directly!"
Seeing Wilkin holding a weapon and preparing to rush out of the door, Yurius naturally stretched out his hand to stop him.
Although he has never seen the "Mist Monster" and has never fought with it, White Whale's reputation is too great. Since even the previous Sword Master was defeated by it, Yurius does not think that Wilkin
able to defeat the opponent.
"Even if I go to die, I have to save my companions. Sir Knight can just stay here to protect Miss Anna. I don't want you to go to death with me."
The members of the "Iron Fang" mercenary group are almost all orcs, and Wilkin is usually well-liked as the leader. Now that his members and his fellow members are unknown, he has a heroic and righteous personality, so naturally he cannot choose to stand by and watch.
Hearing Wilkin's half-serious and half-sarcastic words, Yurius couldn't help but laugh a little angrily. He even wondered whether the previous selection of his own camp was a little too hasty.
Even if Anastasia insists on fighting Emilia because of her personal vendetta, now the leader of the mercenary group under her command is actually a guy with only muscles in his head?
Of course, since he swore in the palace that he would follow Anastasia and become her knight, Yurius would naturally not commit any act of betrayal due to his integrity.
Therefore, in response to Wilkin's provocation, Yurius was not angry at this moment, but maintained an elegant manner and explained: "I am not against rescuing the people of your "Iron Fang" mercenary group, nor am I not wanting to retrieve them.
The lost cargo, but I think it is too unwise to rush to attack the white whale in such a rash way."
When Wilkin heard what Yurius said, he wanted to say something, but Anastasia on the side stopped him with his hand and motioned for Yurius to continue speaking.
"I have said before that the previous Sword Master Theresia Van Astrea died at the hands of the White Whale.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As far as I know, Mr. Wilhelm, the husband of the previous Sword Master Theresia, known as the "Sword Demon", has been chasing the white whale all his life.
Trying to avenge his wife.
He even left the Astraea family for this reason and became Curio's butler."
The love story with the "Sword Master" and the "Sword Demon" was well known to everyone in the royal capital at that time, and Yurius was no exception.
When Julius talked about this matter, the smart Anastasia already understood what Julius had planned, and said: "You mean to tell the "Sword Demon" White Whale
This matter will also drag down Kurxiu and his camp?"
Seeing Anastasia say what he was thinking, Yurius also nodded secretly. If the factor of brother control is eliminated, Anastasia's IQ is obviously still online.
"That's right, Curio respects the sword demon Mr. Wilhelm quite a lot. If the sword demon wants to seek revenge on the White Whale, Curio will probably help him.
Moreover, as one of the three major monsters, the White Whale harms the caravans traveling to and from the Dragon Kingdom all year round, causing disasters that make merchants miserable.
If the White Whale can be defeated, its reputation and achievements in the kingdom will also skyrocket.
That is to say, she helped her subordinates fulfill their wishes and at the same time increased her advantage in choosing the king. Crusch will not give up such an opportunity. Even if she knows that we are borrowing our help, she will still agree to this joint crusade."
As long as they join forces with the Crusch camp to defeat the White Whale, with the strength of the Karsten family, their chances of winning will be much greater.
Perhaps if the White Whale crusade is successful, the reputation of Crusch, who dominates everything, will rise to the limit, but it will definitely not be a loss for their Anastasia camp.
Because they had originally planned to conquer the White Whale, this time they joined forces with Curxiu, which not only improved their chances of winning, but also gained some merit and reputation, and achieved the goal of rescuing the Iron Fang members and retrieving the goods.
From a long-term perspective, if there is no more "White Whale of Mist" in the future, it will also be quite beneficial to the caravans of their Hexin Chamber of Commerce.
Improving the odds of winning, gaining merit and reputation, rescuing people and retrieving goods, plus ensuring the safety of the caravan in the future, this wave can be regarded as killing four birds with one stone.
Even Anastasia had to admire the advice Yurius gave. He was indeed known as the "best knight" in the royal capital with both civil and military skills.
Because of the caravan incident, Anastasia could only temporarily give up her plan to attack Emilia, and instead began to prepare supplies for the attack on the White Whale.
Although most of the goods were intercepted, Anastasia was able to quickly raise a batch of supplies for Iron Fang by relying on her contacts and eloquence from years of trading in the royal capital.
The triplets Wilkin and Mimi went to assemble the Iron Fang mercenary group. Among them, Mimi, who has a lively personality, secretly headed in a certain direction while her two younger brothers were not paying attention to her.
left.
As for Yurius, as an envoy, he went to Kirsten's mansion to discuss cooperation with the other party to defeat the White Whale.
Compared to Anastasia's camp and Crusch's camp, which are already preparing to do big things and prepare to conquer the White Whale of Mist, Emilia's side is developing step by step.
Wood, Rem, and Emilia defeated many monsters and bandits around the kingdom for several days, and directly received a public commendation from the knights.
Although the results are limited, it has made many people change Emilia's attitude, and a small number of supporters have emerged.
These few supporters are basically the family members of those who were killed by monsters and bandits. Emilia helped them take revenge. These people also quite purely chose to repay their kindness and support Emilia.
Ram ostensibly acted together with Wood and the others every time, but in fact he had begun secretly investigating Roswaal.
Frankly speaking, Roswaal was kind to her and she shouldn't do anything, but what Wood said before made Ram very concerned.
For those in the early stage of super girl control, Ram said that you can touch me, and even if you want to kill me, I will laugh it off.
But if you want to mess with my sister, then I'm sorry, even if you are a god who comes to the world, your biological parents will die!
"Mr. Wood, the magic skills you taught me are really practical. I never thought before that ice magic can also change its shape to deal with various situations.
At the same time, I have never thought that magic and magic will produce the physical...reaction you mentioned, and that the power of magic can be increased by combining magic."
During this time, while cleaning up the monsters and bandits, Wood also took the time to exchange magic techniques with Emilia.
Although it is also a magical world, the magic in the world of "Jobless Reincarnation" is obviously different from the magic in this world.
People in this world who use magic must possess the corresponding magical attributes before they can use magic of that attribute.
As for magic in the world of "Jobless Reincarnation", theoretically, as long as you have magic talent, you can learn magic of that attribute. The only difference is that you are more talented in that attribute of magic.
Generally, magicians will choose the magic attribute they are better at to practice. For example, Rudy is better at water attribute magic, and the first king-level magic he mastered was also water-based.
What Wood is better at is fire magic. With the power of "Heart of God", he can even barely perform a fire magic comparable to "god-level".
However, compared to the magic in "Jobless Reincarnation", the magic in this world is not without its merits.
That is the magic of this world. There is no need to chant the world for a long time, and the magic is used faster, but this is almost useless to Wood who does not chant.
But there is another advantage, that is, the magic in this world can be used directly by obtaining mana (magic power) from the atmosphere when the own magic power is insufficient.
The magic in the world of jobless reincarnation consumes more of the magic stored in one's own body. From this point of view, the magic in this world is dominant.
Wood Hesing's body is gifted with magic, and he can use both fire and wind magic.
So while Wood was fighting against monsters and bandits, he exchanged some magic techniques with Emilia.
To be more precise, Wood consulted more about Parker, the kitten beside Emilia.
Although the other party now looks like a mascot that anyone can jerk off to, Wood just learned from Rem not long ago that the other party is the final beast known as permafrost by humans. It is a great elf in charge of fire.
.
On the one hand, he asked the great elf who was in charge of fire for flame magic, and on the other hand, he asked Ram for wind magic. This naturally made Wood's mastery of local magic improve by leaps and bounds.
In return, Wood also taught Emilia some practical combat skills to make up for her lack of combat experience.
As for Rem, when she saw Wood teaching Emilia carefully, she actually came over and said she wanted to learn.
But compared to Emilia, who has strength but no fighting skills, in Wood's view, Rem's fighting skills and experience are already very good, and there is no need for further training.
In the end, Rem, who was at odds, found Ram, while Ram found Wood with an unhappy look on his face.
He also said that Parker taught Wood the knowledge of fire magic, and Wood in return taught Emilia the fighting skills of magic.
And I also taught Wood how to use wind magic, but why didn’t Wood teach Rem anything?
