Chapter 72 Bad News
Author: Conquer people with virtue
Emerald City.
As the main city of the Principality of the Rhine and a territory ruled personally by the Grand Duke of the Rhine, the Emerald City has about 100,000 permanent residents, and the farms and small towns directly belonging to the Emerald City have a population of more than one million.
The Emerald City is surrounded by a city wall made of hard gray-white stones. A dozen solid castles guard it to the north. Less than twenty miles to the south is the inland sea of the Rohirrim continent - the beautiful Sea of Glory.
.
The twenty-mile boundary between the Sea of Glory and the Emerald City is the most precious golden zone in the Principality of Emerald City besides the Emerald City.
And in this place where land prices are high, there is an extremely large manor.
Logically speaking, this manor should be very prosperous. But in fact, it is quite the opposite. From the outside, the manor is surrounded by high walls, and the civilians who traffic in goods rarely see anyone coming in or out.
What’s even more terrifying is that within the walls of the manor, various weird beasts’ cries are often heard, which is very scary. Many passers-by can testify to this. Over time, people gradually bypassed this place, until outside the manor was surrounded by tall people.
surrounded by weeds.
"The area here is quite big."
"Everywhere is in the club. I just work for the president."
In the manor, Linn was already taking Theos on a tour.
For the sake of convenience, Theos turned into a dragonborn, which did not surprise Linn. The Feather Scale Society itself was strange enough.
Linn is a typical Northlander, with fair skin, tall height and build. To be honest, this is the first human being that Theos has met.
【Lynn Stark】
Race: human
Level: Level 14 Warlock
Expertise: Insight, clarity of mind
Explanation: Linn, who gained strength inexplicably and entered the warlock profession, does not seem to have any talent for strength. Insight has given him extraordinary powers of observation, and his clear mind has made him good at thinking without falling into chaos.
To Theos's expectation, Linn's professional level was not high, at least compared to his status as a member of the Feather Scale Club.
It seems that Yulin Society is not a place where strength is paramount.
"If I remember correctly, the sign just hung said Biological Breeding Sanctuary, right?" Theos asked.
"Yes, the function here is to provide a safe sanctuary for some creatures. In addition, I will also collect some other creatures to come in. After all, this place is very big."
Are you sure?
Theos was filled with doubts. Looking to the side, he saw an empty field enclosed by a fence.
In the field, two halflings were riding manticores and running wildly around the field. The originally fierce manticore was now sticking out its tongue and looking like it was about to collapse.
This style of painting is not quite right.
"Those two halflings are my assistants."
"That's not what I meant."
"Oh, I understand." Linn realized Theos's question. "That was for experimental training and to study the possibility of manticore's endurance enhancement."
Theos: "..."
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't abuse them. In addition to running around in circles, I also fed them the special potion I refined." Lin En explained quickly.
It’s even weirder, okay!?
It took Theos a while to understand Linn's behavior. In fact, this was also the reason why Theos came here.
Lin En used some known information and conducted reasoning and experiments according to his own understanding to obtain various knowledge of living things.
Of course, most of the test subjects were brought in by himself, and he would not mess around with creatures that really needed protection.
"Each race has its own strengths and weaknesses, and they also have special powers hidden within their bodies. Even if they are not triggered by innateness or chance, their potential can still be stimulated through certain methods."
Linn took Theos to his data room and told him all about his ideas.
"Tell me what you need."
"I need a lot, including hobgoblins, bugbears, jackals, kobolds..."
Theos reported the race of his subjects.
After listening to Theos' request, Lynn held her chin and thought for a moment before giving the answer. "Most of them have it."
"In fact, the Feather Scale Society itself has a lot of knowledge reserves in this area. Basically what you said is included."
"Hold on."
Linn moved a ladder and called for a halfling assistant. After rummaging around, he took out several thick-covered books as well as many pamphlets and scrolls.
"It's all here, but you can't take it away directly. I can only give you a copy."
Linn asked his assistant to bring some blank pages, and then cast the spell "Quick Copy", and the copy was completed in a short time.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Linn." Theos took the information, "What kind of reward do you need? Gold and silver?"
"No, no, these are the assets of the company. As I said, I'm just an employee of the president." Lin En shrugged.
"If you want to express your gratitude, you can try to help me find five-color dragon eggs or baby dragons."
Linn's words surprised Theos.
"For me, there is obviously no more suitable research object than the giant dragon. President... you also know that I can only think of a solution from the five-color dragon. Of course, this is not a necessary requirement. In fact,
I don’t have much hope either.”
Indeed, from a biological perspective, few creatures can match the power and brilliance of the dragon.
Armed with claws capable of shredding steel, defended by scales as tough as iron, swifter than an eagle in flight, strong enough to shatter castle doors, and possessing breathtaking breath, fully grown dragons
It is synonymous with power.
"There will be opportunities." Theos did not refuse. If possible, he would like to dig Linn into his own territory. This is a natural leek cultivator.
The five-color dragon may be difficult to find, but it is not difficult for Theos. Of course, I am not talking about Kawei.
While thinking about it, Theos suddenly felt something change in his membership card - the user can set it to prompt when someone sends a private message, but it will consume more energy.
"Victor (Scale 1): Theos, come to my place after you finish your work. I have something to tell you."
Victor had apparently just returned home and didn't leave until Theos.
So Theos said goodbye to Linn and returned the same way.
"teacher!"
As soon as he came out of the magic circle, Theos saw the figure of Victor, with Scarlett next to him.
Without much greeting, the three of them came to a room and sat down to talk, and Victor spoke.
"You said before that you have a territory in the Xilan Mountains?"
Theos nodded and informed Osfer's general location. For Victor, there was no point in hiding it.
"Then I have some bad news to tell you." Victor showed a clear expression.
"Your territory may be attacked by orcs."
The speculations about the previous meeting in Firefort were now confirmed.
"This operation is of great significance to the Orc Empire. The Orc Royal Family will personally take part in the battle. Your territory..."
Accelerating adaptation.
