Chapter 465 Legendary True Core Potion
There are magic particles in the Red Moon plane, so there will naturally be magic beasts. Especially in areas with few people, high concentration of magic particles, and natural magic wells, there are many magic beasts.
Although magic beasts are common, they are still very rare at the legendary level.
The fundamental reason why there are magic beasts near the Aular Castle is that there is a natural magic well in the nearby mountains.
Five hundred years ago, this place was controlled by the Dawn Church. A grand Dawn Church was built on the mountain, and the magic well was also in the hands of the Dawn Church. After the Red Moon Goddess resurrected, this place was once very prosperous and was regarded as a stronghold of the Red Moon Church.
It’s a pity that the fierce tug-of-war on the front line made both sides unbearable. By two hundred years ago, the Red Moon Church had withdrawn from the Aular area. A hundred years ago, there were not many people in the mountains near the Aular Castle, and it was very desolate.
After humans left, this place became a paradise for magic beasts. In recent years, both the Dawn Papal State and the Red Moon Church have sent people into the mountains to hunt magic beasts.
Through the wyvern reconnaissance, Richard discovered that this tiger-like monster came from the Jedda Mountains in the south and had only recently migrated to the vicinity of the Aurora Castle. Richard immediately decided to dispatch elite personnel to hunt the monster.
Generally speaking, after a monster is promoted to a legendary level, its IQ is almost the same as that of humans. However, due to the living environment, legendary monsters like to kill much more than ordinary legendary professionals. In addition, legendary monsters often have a large number of blood descendants and will cultivate subordinates.
According to the intelligence detected by the wyvern rider, this legendary fierce tiger migrated alone abnormally and had almost no subordinates.
Although individual lion-tiger type monsters are powerful, they are not difficult to deal with for human forces because of the number of populations.
In today's Harland Territory, except for being a little cautious about the dragon, it is relatively easy to hunt monsters below the fourth legendary level.
Especially monsters that are not good at flying are even less likely to be opponents of the wyvern riders of Harland Territory. After years of reproduction, there are already hundreds of wyverns in Harland.
Each adult wyvern is a powerful combat unit that is not inferior to the seventh-level knight. Although there are only more than sixty adult wyverns in Harland, these wyverns can defeat most of the legendary beasts below the fourth level.
Moreover, there are elite professionals on the back of the wyverns. They are almost armed to the teeth and cooperate well with the wyverns. The combat effectiveness of a wyvern squadron is better than that of a fully equipped regular army.
Even if fighting alone, Harland has legendary knights like Sylph and Sutton, and magicians like Richard and Sophia who are close to legends. In addition, with the trump card starlight bomb, Richard dares to fight even the legendary fourth-level monster.
After making preparations, Richard selected more than ten high-level professionals, plus thirty wyvern knights to take the initiative to attack, and soon found the legendary fierce tiger near the Aolaer Mountains.
Even though Richard knew that the legendary fierce tiger could communicate and was a magic beast that could be contracted, he only wanted the magic core of the legendary magic tiger, so he made a fatal move and teamed up with Sylph to kill the legendary magic tiger.
The magic core of the legendary magic beast can not only serve as the core to build an artificial magic well, but also can be used to refine magic core potions in the hands of pharmacists. This kind of potion is also very helpful for professionals to break through the realm.
However, compared with the sky crystal potion, refining the true core potion is often more dangerous. Although the success rate has increased a little, the danger of being promoted to the legend has increased by several times.
From this aspect, the value of the legendary true core potion is slightly lower than that of the sky crystal potion.
However, in addition to the magic core, the legendary magic beast can also provide a large number of materials such as fur, internal organs, flesh, claws, bones, etc. Although the value is not as good as the deep-sea behemoth, it is still of great help to improve the strength of Harland.
Of course, the most precious of these things is the magic core. In addition to serving as a magic energy source, the magic core can also be made into a treasure that breaks through the legend. Sophia is already a legendary pharmacist, and her own magic power is sufficient. It is not too difficult to refine the legendary true core potion, and it was quickly refined.
After the true core potion was successfully refined, Richard immediately wrote a letter to inform Soros who was guarding the Auxerre Castle, asking for his opinion and whether he was willing to use it?
Soros was actually dissatisfied with the failure of the last fight for the Sky Crystal Potion, but on the one hand, Jennings is young and talented, and there is nothing wrong with piling resources on him. A large part of the forces in the Dawn Plane made decisions in this way. Secondly, Jennings is also an important figure in the Harland family. He has been serving for nearly 30 years and his military exploits are also very prominent.
The only thing Soros surpasses Jennings is that he is closer to Richard and has raised Richard. In the end, Richard decided to give the Sky Crystal Potion to Jennings, who has a higher chance, and Soros could barely accept it.
Unexpectedly, less than two months after Jennings broke through, Harland County actually got the extraordinary resources to break through the legend again.
Although refining true nuclear potions carries a higher risk of death, this is not something Soros has considered at all. As a northerner, Soros picked up a sword at the age of fourteen and fought with powerful orcs.
For more than fifty years, Soros has long been accustomed to life and death, and has personally participated in thousands of battles. He has been living a life of bloodshed since he was a child, and is not afraid of death at all. He is a true desperado. As long as he can be promoted to a legend, even if the probability of death is more than half, Soros is willing to take a gamble.
Besides, the legendary true core potion is more powerful and has a higher probability of breakthrough. Soros knows that he is more suitable to use this potion.
When Soros breaks through, Richard and Sophia will also provide protection for him. Even if he fails to break through and dies, as long as the body is not seriously damaged, Richard and Sophia will release the nine-ring magic resurrection technique. The actual risk is not that high. Almost in a flash, Soros decided to take a gamble.
Soros is already 74 years old, 7 years older than William when he broke through, and his own endowment is slightly worse than William. However, Soros has also taken a portion of the Water of Life, which has increased his lifespan by 20 years. His physical condition is similar to that of a 65-6 year-old ninth-level professional. Although he has begun to decline, he still has the strength to fight for the last time.
In addition, Sophia has also refined a seventh-level potion that stimulates human potential. It can increase the body's potential by about 30% to 40% in a short period of time. It is very suitable for Soros's situation and should be of great help to his breakthrough.
After making preparations, Soros entered the Red Moon Plane and quickly adapted to the environment of the Red Moon Plane. In April, he began to break through the legendary realm.
With Jennings, William was exploring the way ahead. Although Soros did not practice the legendary breathing method, he still had some experience to refer to. With the help of the legendary potion, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to a legendary professional.
Shortly after Soros was promoted, Richard received the information sent by Roger. After years of accumulation, the Grand Prince McMillan of the Grand Duchy of Stannic finally made a step forward and was also promoted to a legendary knight in April.
In order to celebrate this good news, the Jonathan family prepared to hold a large celebration, and the invitation letter had been sent to the Harland family.
Richard and Sofia were not in the Dawn Plane, so Philip could only attend the event.
After several years of grassroots training, Philip suffered a lot and his character finally matured slowly. Although he had average talent, because of the superior external conditions, he practiced the breathing method under the pressure of his elders and was also more diligent. Finally, at the age of eighteen, he was promoted to a second-level warrior. On the premise that Margaret gave up the right of inheritance, he became the first heir to the Harland Territory.
According to the agreement between Richard and King Roger, Philip would marry Princess Vivian when he came of age. Although Princess Vivian is only fourteen years old, she is still a child in Richard's mind, and they must fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of nobles.
There are many girls in the Dawn Plane who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. On the contrary, there are nobles who get married in their forties or fifties because they have not found a suitable marriage partner.
Philip and Vivian have been together for six years, and their relationship has already established a certain foundation.
Their wedding is scheduled for June. Because of the special situation in the Red Moon Plane, Richard and Sophia are unable to attend the wedding in person, and the wedding is completely handed over to grandfather William and grandmother Lady Ola.
Although Lady Ola is not Philip's grandmother, she is particularly dedicated to organizing the wedding, even more attentively than her own son George's wedding. She spent a huge amount of money of more than 100,000 gold coins, which made her a sensation in the noble circle.
If Richard is the head of the family, I am afraid he will strongly oppose this kind of extravagance and waste. After all, he only spent a few gold coins on his own wedding and only invited a few relatives and friends.
But he was not present, and the wedding was hosted by Lady Ora.
Although William had found several court ladies and many noble lovers in recent years, Lady Ora still felt very satisfied.
After marrying William, Lady Ora became a countess, and his eldest son George also became a hereditary noble. Although the second son Leon was still young, William had promised to give him a piece of territory. Daughter Fina also married a southern hereditary viscount as a second wife. Brother Rand relied on the Harland family to become a well-known wealthy businessman in the Grant Kingdom, with assets of more than 100,000 gold coins.
Moreover, since last spring, Rand has formed a mercenary group and is ready to follow Odaye and Immorton and rely on hunting the undead to be promoted to a hereditary noble.
Because of the huge investment of more than 100,000 gold coins, the Rand family has accumulated more than eight great merits, and it is likely that they will be promoted to hereditary nobles this year.
With the support of Earl William, the Rand family not only has a large amount of fixed property in the south, but also has a rich income from smuggling. In addition, Rand's sister, Lady Orla, is also very rich and owns a large number of industries. These industries will not only support her son, but also provide great help to the Rand family at critical moments.
In the two years since Richard entered the Red Moon Plane, two more mercenary leaders have been promoted to hereditary nobles in the area north of Prilan. Together with the reserve baron Rand, this area will have fourteen hereditary nobles by the end of this year. Although their financial resources are different and the combat effectiveness of their armies varies, the number of noble coalitions that can be assembled is close to 10,000.
In addition, after years of development, the foundation of this area has been improved a lot. Brick kilns, cement plants, and glass plants have been built in the north of Prilan, and the population living in the Prilan area exceeds 400,000. Large tracts of fertile land have been reclaimed, a lot of water conservancy facilities have been built, and food no longer needs to be transported from the rear.
In addition, a railway has been built in the Prilan area.
Although this railway needs to transfer ferries due to the Samba River, which greatly reduces the efficiency of railway transportation, once the train is running, the transportation efficiency is far higher than that of manual labor and draft animals.
The lack of logistical supplies in the Pulilan area can be quickly replenished.
In the past one or two years, two hospitals, 26 primary schools and four middle schools have been established in the Purilan area. The development of medical education has also made great progress.
Although this area is not the best economically developed area in Harland, it has become abnormally prosperous because of the war with the undead. After all, this area has a lot of investment from wealthy merchants every year.
Today, the Purilan war zone has a regular army legion and a noble coalition of about 10,000 people. In addition, there are about 30,000 mercenaries in Purilan.
With more than 60,000 high-income people, Purilan's consumer market is very hot. Although the population in this area is not large, many professions have extremely high incomes.
Some beautiful prostitutes even have an income of dozens of gold coins a year, which is equivalent to ten strong men.
Although this area is a paradise for adventurers and countless people have made a lot of money, the public security here is relatively poor, and many adventurers died here inexplicably.
Since Harland issued the policy of exchanging soul crystals for merit five years ago, more than 40,000 mercenaries have been buried in the north of Prilan. Such terrible casualties did not scare off the adventurers who continued to pour in.
Because Harland fulfilled its promise and has enthroned thirteen hereditary nobles.
Among these thirteen hereditary nobles, except for the relatives of Hayden and Rogge, they are either wealthy businessmen or mercenary leaders who are willing to sacrifice their lives.
Whether they are wealthy businessmen or mercenary leaders, they are not aristocrats. If they can break the threshold and become hereditary nobles, they can attract countless adventurers who have no chance to fight.
With these thirteen hereditary barons as examples, countless adventurers in the class-fixed kingdom are attracted, and some adventurers even come from aristocratic families. Many hereditary nobles will even give part of the investment to the second son of the nobles, so that they can go to the north of Prilan to fight.
In the past five years, in addition to the 40,000 mercenaries who died, there are 10,000 who have transformed into noble private soldiers, 20,000 who have become landlords in the northern border, and more than 10,000 who have chosen to settle in the Prilan area.
In five years, because of the decree issued by Richard, the Harland Territory attracted more than 100,000 mercenaries and 200,000 people to join without paying much. These foreign populations are the foundation for the development and growth of the Prilan region.
