Heimarian Odyssey - Chapter 484
[Chapter 485 Hard Fight]
The northern part of the Omor Empire is mostly hills and mountains. The climate here is harsh and the environment is dangerous, so it is not suitable for large-scale urban settlements.
It is precisely because of this that the population and economic center of gravity of the Omor Empire are generally in the east and south, and the west is not much better, it is a big Gobi.
In the territory of a principality called Zelot, the current Grand Duke has a sad face.
The Principality of Zelot is a small principality located in the north of the Omor Empire. It is adjacent to the Omor Empire. There are no important resources in the country. It only makes a living by exporting a rare earth preferred by magicians.
Every commoner in this kingdom is a precious asset to the Grand Duke. This is not to say how much the Grand Duke cares about his people, but that the Principality of Zelot has too few people.
The land is sparsely populated, so it is perfect to evaluate the Principality of Zelot.
The Grand Duke Zelot in the past can be called a diligent ruler, including the current one.
Wiping the sweat on his face with a silk towel imported from the Omor Empire in the south, Grand Duke Zelot moved his short and fat body and asked the herald in front of him, “Is there any news from Laren Forest? How is that grown man?”
“The latest news is that there are still strong fighting fluctuations in the Laren Forest. As for the lord who went in yesterday, he should still be fighting with the Stone Mist Bear.” The herald’s expression was also a little anxious.
“Send two more teams of knights to take a look. If there is any new information, we must send it as soon as possible!” Grand Duke Zelot said hurriedly.
“Yes!” The herald immediately went outside to deliver the news.
Watching the herald run out of the hall, Grand Duke Zelot slumped on a chair.
“Your Majesty, you are too tired these days.” One of Grand Duke Zelot’s favorite concubines appeared in the palace and said.
The appearance of this pretty concubine made our Grand Duke Zelot heave a sigh of relief. He tried his best not to think about the troubles in Laren Forest.
“Just be tired, the point is to hope that the knight from the empire can completely solve that trouble.” Grand Duke Zelot said with a worried face.
“It’s a pity that General Warren is not in Zelot, otherwise the violent bear would have been killed long ago.” This concubine is not a vase, she is from a famous family and knows a lot.
“Hey, General Warren was transferred by the Knights Palace to perform a mission, and it will probably take a year or two before he comes back,” the Grand Duke said.
General Warren is Zelot’s top powerhouse, a first-level peak knight, and also Zelot’s biggest deterrent force to the outside world.
Speaking of which, Zelot is too weak, covering an area only as large as the province of Faustin, and there is only one first-level powerhouse cultivated in the Principality.
Once this first-level powerhouse left Zelot, the ensuing troubles and difficulties caused our Grand Duke Zelot to suddenly drop from a fat man of more than 400 catties to about 300 catties today.
The concubine said that Grand Duke Zelot was too tired, and it was not half false.
It is possible for a first-level knight to leave the country to perform missions for several years. Grand Duke Zelot is not a fool who knows nothing. He is probably sent by the Palace of Knights to perform missions on a different plane.
In the two consecutive plane wars, the knights of all ranks in the Knights Hall suffered heavy losses. After more than ten years of cultivation and supplementation, they have only slowed down a little bit.
There are not many first-level peak knights in the Knights Hall. These knights have been given a lot of rights and positions in the current Knights Hall. It can be said that the first-level peak knights in the past few years are almost equal to the second-level knights more than ten years ago in terms of salary. Earth knights.
“I hope General Warren will come back as soon as possible.” The fat man muttered.
“Your Majesty, I heard that a first-class knight from the Palace of Knights came yesterday?” the concubine asked.
“Well, it’s the knight who came to help us deal with the Shimai Bear.” The Grand Duke nodded.
“That’s great.” The concubine said with a smile, “Once the stone mist bear is resolved, this year’s rare earth tribute will be completed.”
“I hope so.” Fat Grand Duke sighed.
The Laren Forest is not the main source of rare earths produced by the Kingdom of Zelot, but there are three key rare earth mines on the nearby Laren Highlands, and four-sevenths of the rare earths in the Principality every year come from those few heavy mines. Mined.
Because of the raging bears in the Laren forest, the rare earth mine on the Laren high slope has not been started for two months. This is also the biggest worry that Grand Duke Zelot is facing now.
“I really don’t know where this violent bear came from! Damn it!” Grand Duke Zelot shook his fist heavily, gnashing his teeth.
In the Laren Forest about 70 kilometers away from here, Locke was clutching his bloody left chest, staring coldly at a deep pit in front of him.
Under the deep pit, a bear-like monster with red-eyed, gray rock barbs on its back, howled in pain.
The condition of the grizzly bear was much worse than that of Locke. Not to mention the torn shoulder blade, even one of its hind limbs was broken by Locke, so it could only lie on the ground and savagely.
Judging from the performance of this bear beast, and its bloodthirsty nature without half-clearness in its eyes, this stone mist bear clearly has the strength of a quasi-level monster, or even surpasses the strength of a quasi-level monster, but it has no match. Intellect, what is the situation.
Not intending to cause any further complications, Locke was about to go down and end the life of the stone mist bear.
Life was threatened, and the survival instinct unique to all living things allowed Shimai Bear to regain his composure for a moment. He didn’t beg for his life, nor did he try to escape. Shimai Bear actually stabbed his head into the ground at a critical moment!
Locke didn’t believe that Shi Ai Storm Bear was hugging his head and begging for mercy. Seeing Shi Ai Storm Bear’s actions like this, Locke yelled, “Again?! Die for me!”
A ray of unparalleled fighting spirit shot out and flew straight towards Shi Ai’s violent bear’s neck.
“Dang!” Amidst the metal clanging, the stone spurs on the back of Shimai Storm Bear grew rapidly, from the original length of about three meters, to five meters before stopping, and the width of the stone spines also increased significantly.
I don’t know what kind of ingredients this stone thorn is made of, but it really blocked Locke’s full blow.
“Roar!!” After blocking the blow, Shi Ai Storm Bear couldn’t bear it anymore, pulled his head out from the ground in pain, and roared to the sky.
Looking at it this time, the last sliver of reason in Shi Ai Violent Bear’s eyes had completely dissipated, and only tyranny and killing remained in the red angry eyes.
A little bit of metal slag fell from the corner of the mouth, and the Shimai Storm Bear seemed to have eaten something from the ground just now.
“Huh, the end of the crossbow! I want to see how long you can last?” Locke said it easily, but he did not take it lightly in his actual actions. also called out.
Feimo, the scorpion dragon, is in a bit of a miserable state at this time, not to mention one-third of his body’s scales are broken, and there are two palm prints on his back waist. No matter how you look at this palm print, it looks like a bear’s paw print.
Seeing this misty bear again at a glance, with the rogue attitude of the scorpion dragon Fermo in the Sacred Forest, he couldn’t help but take half a step back.
It cooperated with Locke in a fight with this violent bear yesterday. It crippled one of the violent bear’s hind limbs, and it also received two old punches from the violent bear.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s dying soon, this time it will kill it!” Locke encouraged Fermo.
Speaking of which, Locke was aggrieved, thinking it was a simple beheading mission, how could he expect the opponent to be so difficult to deal with.
If it weren’t for the fact that the life level of the violent bear is still hovering at the exact level, in terms of its stamina and attack power alone, Locke feels that there is no problem in judging it as a super monster level.
In fact, there are indeed some monsters in this world, whose life level is obviously lower than the first level, but they are more difficult than ordinary first-level monsters.
It was unfortunate for Locke that he happened to come across such a person today.
After another half-day of hard work, Locke and Fermo joined hands, and finally beat the smoggy bear to the ground again before night fell.
Two-thirds of the scales on Fermo’s body were broken, and corrosive dark red blood flowed all over his body, dripping to the ground, and with a “sisi” sound, many turf branches were damaged.
Taking Fei Mo back to the space flute, Locke rushed forward to chop off the head of Shimai Violent Bear just to be on the safe side, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

】
The skin of Shimai Violent Bear’s skin was too petrified, and Locke had to use up three dark iron epees, cutting and chopping, to get the Violent Bear’s head off.
“I have to change a set of equipment quickly.” Locke said panting.
To deal with this quasi-level violent bear with abnormal combat power, Locke’s biggest disadvantage is that the equipment is too poor.
His armor was made casually, and it was fine for high-level attendants and quasi-knights, but it was not enough for a first-level knight.
What’s more, the weapons, those scrapped swords are all cheap items that Locke bought from the Knights’ Hall.
After the war, Locke didn’t leave here immediately, but flew to the deep pit where the violent bear had been before.
This violent bear gave Locke a very strange feeling. It has a characteristic, that is, it will not leave this forest, or in other words, it will not leave this deep pit too far.
As the distance to the pit got closer, an uncomfortable feeling came.
Feeling that there were no fluctuations in the mental power of any creatures nearby, Locke boldly walked over to investigate.
The closer he was to the deep pit, the stronger the uncomfortable feeling, and a layer of shield was quietly formed, which was the unique vindictive shield of a first-level knight.
When the shield was formed, Locke felt better, as if something was blocked by the vindictive shield.
Lie down on the edge of the deep pit and look down. In the dark cave, some bright yellow metal blocks appeared.
“Fuck! Is this a rare earth mine?” Locke cursed secretly.
In the Principality of Zelot, there are more than one hundred thousand people in a principality, and they all rely on the export of rare earth materials. This is not an exaggeration, but it is really enough for them to live only by selling rare earths.
And the targets they sell are magicians who are well-known for their wealth and wealth.
Locke finally understood why there was such a weird feeling. Rare earth was not real earth, but a collective name for many precious metals.
This kind of precious metal is different from gold, silver and other metals. They are rarer than gold and silver, and correspondingly more expensive than ordinary gold and silver.
Rare earths have one thing in common, that is, they are highly radioactive, and magicians like to call this kind of metal “radiation stone.”
‘
The reason why Locke felt uncomfortable was that it was caused by the radiation of rare earths, which could affect a first-level knight. One can imagine the reserves of rare earths below!
