Chapter 793 Bulkeso on Hematite
"What kind of monster is that!?"
Rowell's face turned pale: "It's so fast!"
"Didn't you listen to what they said...a magic off-road vehicle? But what is a magic off-road vehicle?"
Odula frowned, then quickly relaxed: "Don't worry, no matter what it is, I think the consumption of that thing must be far more than that of the Earthly Dragon!"
The performance of the magic off-road vehicle driven by Tang En and others was surprisingly superior, but Odula did not believe that such a powerful thing would consume very little.
Just wait and see, we will see the result when we take a break at noon.
The Earthly Dragon eats raw meat, which is troublesome but relatively cheap. You can hunt it with a little time.
But that magic off-road vehicle obviously cannot eat meat. Since the word "magic energy" is in the name, it means that it is probably driven by magic power.
So the result is obvious, it is the consumed magic crystal.
Odula couldn't help but smile when he thought of the price of magic crystals. Compared with raw meat, the price of magic crystals was definitely high.
After going down the mountain, the Red Lotus Knights reunited with the waiting convoy. After that, the two sides didn't talk much. Tang En and the others slowed down and followed the knights.
Running all the way until noon, when Dun En was feeling sleepy, the knights found a cool forest and stopped.
The large army stopped here to rest. The Red Lotus Knights wanted to have lunch, and the Earthly Dragon was already hungry and needed to replenish food.
Odula found Tang En and said, "We will rest for half an hour. If you don't bring supplies, you can come over and have a meal with us."
"No need, we brought food."
"Okay, there is still plenty of time. All the Earth Dragon needs to do is feed it some raw meat. After eating, its physical strength will recover quickly, and it can continue running all afternoon."
Odula glanced at the off-road vehicle and said pointedly: "This thing of yours consumes magic crystals, right? The price is not cheap."
"well enough."
Tang En smiled slightly: "A low-quality magic crystal can travel quite far."
Odula was startled: "How far?"
"About a thousand kilometers... Oh, this is the new distance unit implemented by our Illus Empire. You may not understand it."
After pondering for a moment, Tang En clapped his hands and said, "It won't be a problem to run back and forth for the distance we left Golgaron Lake in the morning."
Two back and forth?
Odula was horrified and looked at Tang En in disbelief: "This is impossible! Doesn't it need to rest in the middle?"
Tang En shook his head.
"Don't need supplies?"
Tang En continued to shake his head.
"You won't be passive and slow down your work?"
"This is a product of magical engineering machinery. It has no self-awareness at all and obeys the driver's control."
"This, this is so-"
Odula held it in for a long time and didn't know how to describe it. How much culture could he have as a martial artist? But his intuition told him that if what Tang En said was true, this thing would definitely be the mount that warriors dream of!
Odula turned around and returned to the Red Lotus Knights.
"Captain, how is the situation?"
Rowell chuckled and said: "Are they replacing the magic crystal? The price of replacing the magic crystal will probably make them painful to death."
"No……"
Odula said with a depressed look: "It is true that they used magic crystals, but a piece of inferior magic crystal is enough to cover this journey twice in the morning... By the way, what is the current market price of inferior magic crystals? Coming?"
"A chief priest mentioned a few days ago that the price seems to have risen to around eight gold coins now."
"Two round trips, eight gold coins..."
Odula became even more depressed: "Amortized equally, the cost of the off-road vehicle is lower than the cost of our Land Dragon!"
Rowell also became depressed.
This only counts the consumption during normal use. If you include the consumption of raising earth dragons on weekdays, the cost gap will be even greater. You must know that the magic off-road vehicle consumes absolutely nothing when it is not in use, and the earth dragon has no consumption at all. Even if the walking dragon is not used, it will consume a lot of food every day. If the feeding burden was not too heavy, His Majesty Blood Eyes would have tried every means to expand the breeding scale.
The Earthly Dragon, which the Renn Empire was proud of, was defeated in all aspects when facing the magic off-road vehicle. This made Odula and Rowell quite depressed.
When did the gap between the human kingdom and the Renn Empire become so huge?
After having lunch and resting for a while, after Di Xinglong's physical strength had fully recovered, the large group continued to set off.
In view of what Tang En said, Odula and the others held their breath. They wanted to see Tang En make a fool of themselves, so they kept trying desperately to squeeze the potential of the earth dragon. The speed was almost always maintained at about 60 kilometers per hour, except for the earth dragon. Xinglong needed to eat to regain his strength. They were almost always on the road and rarely stopped - any monsters that blocked the way were simply run over...
They trudged over mountains and rivers, crossed the Gobi Desert and the desert, and ran for nearly a week before crossing the entire belly of the Rennes Empire, covering a distance of nearly two thousand kilometers, and finally arrived at Bulkesso, the royal capital of the Rennes Empire.
Bulcaisso was built in the central and western part of the Renne Empire. It is similar to all large cities in Purandal. It is also backed by high mountains. The snow line is clearly visible on the towering mountains. Bulcaisuo is located on the green plain in front of the mountains. .
The architectural style of Bulcaisuo is just like the human impression of the orcs. It is rough, bold, and full of wildness. Large boulders are piled together in a rather rough way to form a city wall. Later, a relatively primitive filler was used to glue them together. Close the gaps between the boulders to achieve a stable effect - of course, the best option is to use earth spells to solidify the city wall. However, the Renne Empire really can't find a magician who can be used. This is why Tais It's something that Tro Bloodeyes has always been worried about.
Even without the power of magicians and relying solely on a large number of orc labor, they built this miraculous city. The unique style had an extremely powerful impact on people, especially Tang En. Look at it. The moment I arrived in this city, I felt my blood bristle, inexplicably on fire.
The name of the mountain behind the royal city is Kergel, which means "God's gift" in the orc language. The water flowing from Kergel mountain converges into a lake on the nearby green plain, forming an oasis in the desert. , which is also a very important source of drinking water in Bulqueso, has been heavily guarded to prevent anyone from poisoning the water source.
Tang En asked Angus with a strange look on his face: "This place is obviously red, why is it called Green Plains?"
Angus had been to Bulquesso in the early years, and he was relatively familiar with it.
"The Renn Empire is generally short of water. Because Kergel Mountain can provide abundant water sources, that's why the ancestors of the orcs set their capital here. When the name was originally given, their ancestors probably hoped to use these water sources to This plain became a pastureland with abundant water and grass.”
Angus explained: "But then I don't know why, no matter what kind of grass is planted here, it can't survive in the end."
It’s weird to be alive…
Tang En looked at the red land and the smooth brown stones exposed by the weathered shell on the Gobi desert. Even with his poor knowledge, he could guess what was going on here.
iron ore.
And it is likely to be a very large-scale shallow hematite.
More than half of the soil here is iron oxide, and there is almost no organic matter at all. It’s strange that plants can survive...
Of course, this is another world after all, and maybe there are plants that are born to eat iron.
Looking at Bulcasso getting closer and closer, Angus couldn't help but sigh: "After so many years, Bulcaisso still hasn't changed much."
"When did you come here last?"
"During the second Chaos Invasion War, I came to Malthus Blood Eyes, the previous king of the Wren Empire, to discuss the alliance. In the blink of an eye, Malthus has been dead for almost a hundred years."
Angus shook his head and said, "Time flies really fast. I wonder how that guy is doing... Maybe I can go talk to him if I have a chance."
"The original comrade?"
Angus had a look of remembrance on his face: "Sharp Tooth Bloodmane, a legendary hero known as the 'Bloody Axe', a comrade of our old guys, and probably one of the strongest men in the Renne Empire now."
When approaching Bulcaisu, the Red Lotus Knights began to gradually disperse. They would not all return to Bulcaisu, but would be stationed in several surrounding strongholds. In the end, only Odula, Rowell and one were left. The team took Tang En and the others into the city.
Of course, you will inevitably be interrogated when entering Bulcaisso. Fortunately, Tang En made preparations in advance and used the fictitious identity of Nobodi Tang and the cover of the Phoenix mercenary group to successfully enter Bulcaisu - the mercenary group was mercenary. The badges registered by the Military Association are almost a passport for various cities and countries in Purandal, which is very convenient in every sense...
After entering Bulkesso, the first thing to do is to go to the Vulcan Holy See to report that you are safe.
After all, the most important thing at the moment is the safety of His Majesty Cocoa and the smooth return of His Majesty Vanilla. Odula is sure that this news will make His Majesty the Pope, who has been quite depressed recently, happy for several days.
Looking at Odula and others who were leading the way, Tang En said to Angus next to him: "Wait a minute, you and Kaa don't follow you in. You take the others to stroll around the streets and let them collect the information here." Intelligence, you go find a suitable house and buy it.”
"I understand, how can I contact you then?"
Tang En looked at Angus as if he were an idiot: "The magic phone we just produced is for you to watch and play with?"
Angus slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "I forgot!"
Tang En reminded Angus: "By the way, don't you have comrades here? If you have connections and resources, it's much better to ask them for help than to wander around on your own. It's best to buy a big house with a yard and a basement. "
"talk later."
Angus sighed: "To be honest, I don't really want to find that guy... he is just a fighting maniac."
