Chapter 1,327 Blade Maid
However, a certain former fat man's time traveler was not among the ordinary people. He said thoughtfully: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I just couldn't find the time. I just took this opportunity to ask. That is What is the status of the Blade Maiden in the Wood Elf tribe? I know it is very high, almost the same as a priest, or even on an equal footing. But wood elves don't use edged weapons, so why are there Blade Maidens? "
The person asked the question very naturally, but he had no intention of saving anyone. Apart from acting at the beginning, the kidnapped elf did not realize that he was a hostage. He said: "Your Majesty said that I am special. That's why he gave me such a name after he became an adult."
The man holding the elf hostage waved a short knife and shouted: "Don't ignore me!"
"Are there many people like you?" Lin of course ignored the man and asked again.
Miriam didn't care about the tip of the knife against her neck, shook her head and said: "Including other wood elf tribes, I have only seen three people like me. Two seniors have passed away, and one junior is still growing. The potential. Outside of elves, the one with the same power as me is William."
The sudden mention of a certain sword master made Lin look at the person next to him with surprised eyes. Neither the person looking at the person nor the person being looked at paid any attention to the man waving the dagger and threatening Miriam, and allowed him to make a fuss. William just said: "She is the teacher who taught me martial arts." After thinking about it, he said: "Well, one of them."
"Oh." There is still this kind of relationship between the two people, which someone didn't expect at all. But their daily behavior didn't look like master and apprentice, and Lin didn't even notice that the two knew each other. Are you saying there is a story behind this? Or was there an accident? That's why the two of them look like this. Someone’s heart is burning with gossip!
"Ah, don't take my words seriously!" The guy wielding a short knife and threatening others finally couldn't help but be treated like air. As soon as he got angry, he raised his short knife and prepared to stab the female elf.
Henry, who had been trying to stop his nephew while listening to the conversation, suddenly realized who this elf could match up with. He quickly shouted: "Hyderson, let go! This is the Scarlet Sword Master..."
It was too late, but it was too late. Miriam had already taken action to save herself. The tie tied around her neck suddenly moved to her hands. The tie was tied up, and she used the air-shaped sword in her hand to form a sword shape, and in a blink of an eye, she cut off the arms of the person who was holding her hostage. The movement was so fast that people were caught off guard.
With another flick of his hand, the cloth sword spread out and returned to the shape of a tie. Only then did the man with broken arms begin to wail. He was in pain so much that he knelt on the ground, with blood splattering from his shoulder-length broken arm. Naihe lost his arms, and he could only look at the elf in front of him in despair.
Miriam couldn't see anything, but this made her other senses sharper, not to mention her memory and sense of space. She not only heard clearly where the Holy Spirit Medicine fell, but also remembered it firmly in her mind.
After she broke free, she moved slowly, stepped forward to pick up the glass bottle of Holy Spirit Elixir, and shook it. He said calmly: "There is a lot of missing elixir, which is a pity. Sir, should I continue to save them?"
Well, I kind of understand why there is such a professional title as "Blade Maid" in the Wood Elf tribe that prohibits the use of metal blades. Emotions say that this is a manifestation of ability, and it also gives someone a similar feeling to the core characteristics of William's Sword Master.
Rather than saying that William was taught by Miriam, it is better to say that they are the same kind of person, Miriam is just the introduction door.
The most disappointed people are the people of the Greco family. Although Henry recognized Miriam's former identity, it was too late when he issued a warning.
Of course, a person whose two arms have been removed can no longer receive treatment from the elves. In fact, the remaining Holy Spirit Medicine was used up after not being able to save many people.
The elf pretended to be caught before, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he let the glass bottle containing the Holy Spirit elixir fall to the ground. Although the bottle was not broken, a lot of the medicine in the bottle was lost.
After getting Lin's advice, she still tolerantly continued to treat those who were knocked down by William, still giving priority to the seriously injured until the bottle could no longer drip the Holy Spirit elixir. At this point, neither Lin, Miriam, nor anyone from the Greco family could say anything.
A bottle of Holy Spirit elixir worth tens of thousands of gold was used on the wounded members of the family. They didn't have the nerve to ask for a second bottle; even whether there was a second bottle was a question. Some people could not be saved, and some of the medicine was wasted due to their own actions.
Therefore, for the remaining injured, the Greco family can only find their own solutions. Fortunately, the injuries of those who have not yet been treated are relatively minor, and can be easily solved even without the use of Holy Spirit Medicine.
In fact, when they saw the elf taking out a bottle of holy spirit medicine, many people thought that they should stay without the medicine and just think of their own solutions for the injured. When these people saw the Holy Spirit Medicine falling to the ground because of their own recklessness, they even wanted to cut this reckless nephew into pieces! What a waste.
When the matter came to an end, Henry Greco naturally fulfilled his previous promise and asked a chamber of commerce intelligence officer to answer questions that someone might ask.
This is not because he is willing to reveal family secrets. The so-called conversation is two-way. If the guests want to learn about the empire, they don't want to know the details of these guests. So he sent his own capable assistant. He was good at gathering intelligence. Not only could he get things from verbal communication, but he also knew clearly what could be said and what could not be said. It can be said that he is the best candidate.
Miriam returned to her harmless appearance and followed the magician quietly. Even if the people of the Greco family want to deal with each other, they can't help but buy a few more Holy Spirit elixirs.
William was taken away by members of his family, under the pretext of establishing a relationship. Considering that this white swordsman is not someone's subordinate, he has the ability to protect himself, and he is indeed a member of this family, so they can't be allowed to even talk about private things. So Lin just let it go.
Although he could guess what the Greco family might be planning, if the target was William, Lin was not optimistic about the outcome. But this is a private matter of the family, and it is not someone's turn to interfere. Lin was more concerned about the information about the Karlsruhe Empire, which he finally got from the mouth of the Chamber of Commerce manager.
The Karlsruhe Empire, located in South Midland, has a terrain characterized by mountains and rivers, and the entire country is divided into many areas. In terms of transportation, it relies heavily on water transportation. And because in the era before mechanization, water transportation was more advantageous than land transportation, it drove the empire's commercial activities and led to its vigorous development.
The empire is also the youngest of the five major empires in Midland. The origin of the nobility is very interesting. In short, a person can acquire the corresponding status if he can encircle a large piece of land and recruit as many people as he can. It means that someone keeps enclosing land and bringing people to join, and eventually an empire is formed.
Therefore, the Karlsruhe Empire and the Gwana Empire are very similar. They are both multi-racial countries that absorb various races of Homo sapiens, rather than purely human countries. It's just that the causes of the two are different.
The Gwana Empire is a continuation of the great era when various Homo sapiens races united to fight against the dark legions of the past. Simply because of issues of territory and manpower, the Karlsruhe Empire added many non-human races of Homo sapiens and uncivilized barbarians.
The Karlsruhe Empire has proved with facts that those uncivilized races are not all voluntarily living a life of eating hair and drinking blood. They just do not have the opportunity to come into contact with the latest knowledge and technology. When they get such an opportunity, no one will reject the vision of having enough food, clothing, and a better life. So those barbarians took the path of civilization.
Not to mention the ups and downs in the process, the empire has continued to grow to this day and is now one of the top five powerful countries in the Lost World.
Those non-human races and civilized barbarians also brought quite distinctive characteristics to the empire's military, that is, there are many ways to use Warcraft, and there is even a military title of Warcraft user. The strongest dragoon regiment in the empire also originated from this.
Then there's the Greco family.
The family into which William was born had no aristocratic status. Because in recent years, most of the land that can be occupied has been taken up, and people can only make a living on the land of other lords.
But because the lost people often go out and wander around, as if they are adventurers or mercenaries. The lords had insufficient control over the population, and the Karlsruhe Empire itself had developed commercial activities. As a result, small forces like the Greco family, based on clans, have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The Greco family mainly operates water transportation, including domestic river transportation and external offshore transportation. As for Oceania, basically no one can afford to play the puzzles of this era, and there is no need to do so.
The most important ocean-going sea beast is not only huge in size, but also quite powerful. Moreover, there is no new continent in Lost Land, it is just a large continent of Pangea, where all people and races play. The costs and risks of developing overseas islands are far greater than the investment returns. Therefore, the eyes of the lost people have never been cast on the ocean.
The only valuable thing overseas is Dragon Island.
As the name suggests, Dragon Island is an island where dragons gather, and it can also be regarded as a country. Alone overseas, it was one of the opposing forces of the Karlsruhe Empire.
The territory of the early Karlsruhe Empire was the area regarded as pasture by the dragons on the island. From time to time, they fly to the Lost Continent to hunt, and humans are also included in the dragon tribe’s prey list. After a long war, the two sides now barely maintain a state of peace. The Karlsruhe Empire used food in exchange for opportunities to trade and maintain peace.
The Greco family's Water Transport Chamber of Commerce has been competing with other families recently for this trade route to Dragon Island. Because the Dragon Clan will also use this route to reach the Lost Continent, this is the only route to overseas without the presence of giant sea beasts.
The reason why everyone is vying for the trading rights of Dragon Island is that in addition to the safe shipping route, the resources of Dragon Island itself and the specialties of the Dragon Clan are also very popular and in-demand commodities on the Lost Continent. Simply put, it is profitable.
Therefore, the so-called competition is not just a competition of political strength and seeking official permission. It also includes real-life gun battles!
Recently, in order to maintain the rights to this route, the Greco family has been 'negotiating' privately with each challenger, and it has reached a critical moment. If you show any signs of fatigue, you will easily be pounced upon by a latecomer and take a bite. Then, unfortunately, something like this happened, and everyone in the family who could be beaten fell down.
