Chapter 255: Don’t Touch This
The seven and a half days that Su Yu spent burning materials is nearly three months in game time.
During these three months, Princess Alice has brought the remaining 300,000 troops from Forest City to Oran City, and built many military defense facilities and fortresses based on Oran City.
The Kallet rebels took over Forest City without any effort. Up to now, five-sevenths of the land of the entire empire has completely fallen into the hands of the rebels.
However, the rebels did not stop.
After two weeks of rest and adjustment, the 700,000 troops marched south in a mighty manner, wanting to eliminate the remnants of the royal family in one go and unify the entire empire.
When Su Yu arrived at Oran City, the vanguard of the rebels had already arrived at the foot of Oran City, and the rebel army was less than 30 kilometers away from Oran City.
The empire has really reached a moment of life and death.
Su Yu rode Tima and moved quickly on the wide streets of Oran City.
Tima was still as energetic as before, running with great vigor, even the horses on the street who were a head taller than her were inferior in momentum.
In contrast to Tima's vigorous spirit, were the residents on the street.
Everyone on the street had a heavy face and a gloomy atmosphere, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.
Some time ago, Princess Alice led the army to Oran City.
As soon as they entered the city gate, the princess issued a policy to increase taxes on the noble class and reduce taxes on ordinary people. At the same time, she greatly reduced the financial threshold for admission to the [Warrior Academy] and [Magic Academy]. As long as the children of the common people were excellent, they could also get high-value educational resources and have the opportunity to become high-level strongmen.
The princess's policy declared that the demonstrations of the broad masses of people had achieved a phased victory, and the whole Oran City was jubilant at that time.
Alice also quickly won the support of the people.
But the short-lived jubilation was just a flash in the pan.
Now that the Kallet rebels are at the gates of the city, under the threat of life and death, Oran City is filled with a solemn atmosphere. People's expressions are exactly the same as those of the residents of Plantagenet City when Plantagenet City was about to be occupied. They all look solemn.
...
After observing the overall atmosphere of Oran City, Su Yu turned his attention back to himself.
He began to think about what he would do next.
After careful thinking and analysis, he summarized the three key things to do next:
First, consolidate his own strength and lay a solid foundation;
Second, get a set of fourth-level equipment for temporary transition;
Third, find a way to get all the skill books of the third and fourth levels of this profession.
About the first point of laying a solid foundation.
Although Prime Minister Cao provided him with a lot of medicinal baths to help him consolidate his strength, it was still not enough for Su Yu's terrifying improvement of "crossing two major realms in seven days".
Su Yu planned to apply to Tina to enter the [Advanced Secret Realm] under the Unicorn Trial Field, where he would thoroughly hone his foundation;
As for the second point, equipment.
Most of the quests in the main storyline will reward equipment, and the level of these equipment is consistent with the player's level, so he doesn't need to deliberately get equipment, and he will have all the equipment while completing the quests.
Finally, the third point is the skill book.
Su Yu has now collected all the second-level skill books. They are all rewards for the quests of the two main lines.
There are 12 second-level skills for the mage profession, namely:
Fire [Continuous Fireball (Normal)], [Phoenix Flame (Excellent)], [Pyroblast (Epic)];
Water [Ice Lance (Normal)], [Summon Water Element (Excellent)], [Ice Barrier (Epic)];
Thunder [Lightning Burst (Normal)], [Thunderstorm (Excellent)], [Sky Thunder (Epic)];
Earth [Group Earth Stab (Normal)], [Summon Diamond Element (Excellent)], [Earthquake (Epic)]
He has collected all the second-level skill books, but none of the third-level skill books, and only one fourth-level skill book, [Dragon Breath], which was given by a player.
I hope that the main storyline will give more skill scrolls as rewards!
While Su Yu was thinking, Tima had already brought him to the gate of the princess's palace.
"Whew~" Tima turned back and hissed at Su Yu twice, indicating that they had arrived.
"Oh... Thank you, Tima." Su Yu stroked Tima's neck, jumped off her, and put her back into the horse card.
At the gate of the palace, the princess's guard, Kelderon, had been waiting here for a long time.
Kelderon was not the same as before.
His armor was a little worn out now, and there were some burn marks on his arms and thighs, and his expression was much more vicissitudes.
After seeing Su Yu, he put his left hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to Su Yu: "Master Nemesis, Her Royal Highness knows that you will come here in the next few days, and asked me to meet you here specially."
"Okay, lead the way." Su Yu sighed slightly and followed him.
Kelderon's fate is also very bumpy.
In the 1-5 rings of the Princess Line, Su Yu also helped him send letters to his family in Forest City.
But his family did not escape the catastrophe in Forest City. His parents, wife, and most of his children died in that catastrophe. Only his six-year-old son escaped. It can be said that he was very miserable.
But in the context of war, no one is lucky. Su Yu didn't say anything, and continued to move forward behind Kelderon.
"Ding, your main storyline has been updated, [Gorse Flower Empire (51/100)]."
"Task requirements: Meet [Princess Alice] and [Tina Garcia], and participate in the pre-war discussion meeting."
"Task reward: 10,000 experience points."
Seeing this task reward, Su Yu couldn't help but think of the [Experience Crystal Stone] he had thrown in the corner of his backpack.
Because there are many large-scale scene battles in the second stage of the Tina line, his crystal stone has accumulated a huge amount of experience points.
The properties of the crystal stone are now:
[Experience Crystal Stone (Special Item)]
Currently stored experience points: 50.246 million.
"Wow!" Su Yu couldn't help but exclaimed.
There are 50 million experience points stored in the crystal stone! ! !
If the experience points in the crystal stone can be used, he will have no problem upgrading to the fifth level now!
However, the crystal stone is so big, how big will it be?
Thinking of this, Su Yu directly summoned the crystal stone.
After the summoning was successful, he immediately felt his palm sink.
A square crystal with a side length of 30 cm and completely transparent appeared in his hand.
Looking at this crystal, Su Yu was shocked!
I remember that when the crystal stone just accumulated 10,000 experience points, its volume was only the size of an apple.
It's already so big now, even bigger than a basketball!
Keldron noticed the movement behind him and turned to look at Su Yu.
After seeing the large transparent crystal in Su Yu's hand, he couldn't help asking: "Master Nemesis, this stone is pretty, where did you get it from?"
After that, Keldron stretched out his hand and touched the crystal, wanting to feel the texture of the transparent stone.
"No! No! No!"
Su Yu was startled and quickly put the crystal back into his backpack: "This is not allowed to be touched, touching it casually will affect the Feng Shui of this place."
The experience value of the crystal can be used by any player and NPC. If Keldron accidentally absorbs it, he really can't cry.
"'Not allowed to touch'? 'Feng Shui'?" Keldron looked confused. Where did these words come from?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, you lead the way quickly." Su Yu urged.
"Okay." Keldron shook his head and continued to lead Su Yu to the interior of the palace.
