The Lord of Ashes

As he was about to leave the Underdark, there was no need for Thain to continue hiding Qi.

The Holy Tower of Dawn and the group of knights who destroyed the city of Mosobra all came from the south.

No matter how long the opponent's tentacles of power are, they cannot cover the three northern countries.

The appearance of Owl Qi is also part of Thain's effort to demonstrate his strength.

In this world, no matter where in the world, strength comes first.

Being low-key is not necessarily a good thing.

Sometimes only by showing off all your strengths and tricks can you avoid unnecessary troubles and seek relevant opportunities.

With the aura of Owl Qi as a deterrent, when Thain and his party traveled through the dark mountains, they did not encounter any blind-eyed monsters that took the initiative to offend them.

The hierarchy among Warcraft is stricter than that between human knights and magicians.

It is basically impossible for low-level monsters to actively provoke higher-level monsters. The jungle law of the jungle makes these monsters sometimes know more humility and forbearance than humans.

Although no World of Warcraft came looking for them, Thane and the others still experienced several battles in the past few days.

There is no way, the resources of the Dark Mountains are too abundant, and all kinds of low-level magic materials can be found everywhere in the mountains and forests.

Thain himself didn't have much idea at first, but Owl Qi might be used to helping Thain collect resources.

In the process of traveling through the dark mountains, I don't know how many medium and low-level magic materials were brought back to him.

Even on the third day after entering the Dark Mountains, it used the wind chain to drag back a two-meter-long monster wild boar.

"This... this is... the hurricane porcupine?" Captain Haishan stuttered and pointed at the wild boar.

A gap was made in the wild boar's head, and the wind magic crystal inside disappeared, so it was naturally eaten by Qi.

Warcraft crystal cores with this attribute have always been Qi's favorite.

Thain himself took away the wild boar's tusks, heart, and the softer white hair on its chest.

These three things are the most valuable parts of this mid-level monster.

The light elemental power contained above means that Thain can use them as materials to make related medium and low-level magic props.

As for the flesh and blood of the wild boar, Thain generously distributed it to everyone in the mercenary group.

With the size of this wild boar, it was enough for them to have a good meal.

More importantly, this is precious World of Warcraft flesh and blood.

The other larger areas of wild boar skin were purchased by the old man with the goatee.

The old man gave Thain a small wooden box with five hundred gold coins in it.

The gold coin is the currency issued by the Lycian Alliance. In terms of size, it is larger than the gold coins here in the Underdark Region, and the quality is also better.

They are also gold coins. According to Captain Haishan's explanation, the exchange ratio between the gold coins in the Lycian Alliance and the gold coins in the Underdark is often 1:5 or even 1:6.

Of course, among the three northern countries, the most valuable ones are the arcane gold issued by the Oak Empire.

It is said that large transactions in the Oak Empire no longer use gold coins, but more advanced and rare gold coupons.

…

Five days later, Thain left the Dark Mountains with the mercenary group without any satisfaction.

The harvest of these five days is almost as much as the total harvest of Thain during his journey of more than half a year.

No wonder countless mercenary groups enter the Dark Mountains every year to try their luck. Some do make a fortune, while others leave their bones here permanently, turning them into nourishment for the dense jungles of the Dark Mountains.

Even among the humans who fell in the Dark Mountains, there were some magic apprentices.

"The resource richness here far exceeds any area we have passed through before."

"If I didn't lack the mid-level and low-level resources needed for training and research, this place would be a good treasure trove for exploration." Thain sighed.

"Gugu, it's okay in the short term, but it's not okay to search for resources in the Dark Mountains for a long time."

"I have already felt that there are two guys who are not weaker than me, radiating hostility towards me."

"If we stay in the Dark Mountains for longer, in addition to attracting the rejection of the local monsters, we may also trigger a beast tide." Qi replied.

Warcraft are all strictly divided by territory. As a foreign quasi-level Warcraft, the easiest way for Qi to integrate into the Dark Mountains is to pick a local Warcraft with good strength and have a fight.

And if you are just a passerby, searching for various resources in the Shadow Mountains, it will lead to rejection and rebound from most of the high-level monsters in the Shadow Mountains.

The intelligence of advanced monsters is not weak, especially when they rise to the level of quasi-level creatures like Qi, their intelligence is no different from that of normal humans.

Although the wizarding world has always been dominated by human knights and magicians.

But the Warcraft family

In fact, it still occupies a place in the wizarding world, especially in the middle and low-level fields.

For those who excessively destroy the ecological balance of the region, no matter how powerful they are, the kings of the Warcraft Mountains around the Wizarding World will not hesitate to wipe them out.

At that time, even if the Holy Tower or the Knights Hall come forward to hold people accountable, those Warcraft Kings with extremely high life levels will be able to move the guardians out as backers.

As a powerful world civilization, the Wizarding World has many World of Warcraft kings above level four.

The Dark Mountain Range is just a shallow pool, and there are no such powerful monsters.

According to Qi's discoveries and judgments during this period, the strongest monster in the Shadow Mountains may have a second level of life, and it is deep in the forest to the west of the Shadow Mountains.

…

"Master Thain, do you really not consider joining the Fat family?"

"The Fate family is one of the top nobles in the eastern part of the Lycian Union. Viscount Fate will definitely extend a warm welcome to your arrival." After entering the border of the Lycian Union, the old man with the goatee couldn't help but invite him again.

"After arriving at the Black Castle fortress ahead, we will have completed the escort mission in accordance with the mercenary union's contract."

"I'm really sorry, I have no intention of joining any aristocratic forces at the moment."

"And my next direction is to the area west of the Black Castle Fortress." Thain refused.

The advantage of following a mercenary group and a local snake like an old man with a goatee is reflected when entering the realm of the Lycian Alliance.

Not only did he greet the defenders directly at the border and pass directly, but after the old man with the goatee showed the coat of arms and tokens of the Fate family, he was even assisted by a team of soldiers to escort him.

The old man was right, the Fate family did have considerable power in the eastern part of the Lycian League.

However, Thain's target is the west, because after entering the territory of the Lycian Alliance, Thain's long-dormant bloodline tracing magic suddenly reacted.

This indicates that Thain was indeed from the Lycian League.

I just don’t know whether his family is the central Lycian nobles or the western nobles.

The nobles in the central region generally have relatively high titles and occupy the richest plain area in the Lycian League, with a large population under their rule.

The western nobility's territory directly borders the Kingdom of Western France. The folk customs there are more sturdy, and the strength of the nobility's private army is also relatively strong.
