Chapter 168: Kedot Fortress
Chapter 168: Kedot Fortress
??? "How about it, did you tell that guy?"
??Seeing Noel Allord's return, the green-haired girl Ruby Clark drove the curtain and asked.
?? "I told him, but he still plans to go to the Kedot Fortress, saying that he just went there to have a look, and he won't leave the fortress without full confidence."
??The burly and strong man Noel Allod replied.
?? "Hmph, let him go."
??The green-haired girl Ruby Clark snorted and lowered the car curtain.
??Following the caravan heading for Kedot Fortress, Sean left Mengjiafu City without incident, and finally arrived on the tenth day.
The Kedot Fortress is majestic and majestic. The city wall is more than 50 meters high. It is made of huge square stones one after another and glued together with limestone. Each of these stones weighs more than ten tons. In this world with extremely backward technology, it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to move, but this naturally does not include knights with inhuman strength.
??The caravan carriage entered the fortress, and Sean opened the curtain to look out, squinting his eyes.
?? There are quite a few people in the fortress, and the density of people is even higher than that of Mugafu City.
??Using the probing ability of the talent net to look over, most of the people who entered the field of vision have knight talents, and many of them have middle-level or even advanced knight talents.
It is also conceivable that such a situation will occur. The generous hunting rewards of the Kedot Fortress are extremely attractive. Although many people are afraid of its reputation as a meat grinder, there are also many people who are not afraid of death, or It is normal for people who are lucky, or who are extremely confident in their own strength, to have so many knight talents.
??The carriage arrived at the cargo transfer station on the west side of the Kedot Fortress. Sean left the caravan. After wandering around the fortress for a long time, he found a tavern where many mercenaries came in and out.
?? When he first arrived at the Kedot Fortress, he didn't intend to leave the fortress immediately and enter the wilderness to hunt and kill wizards to accumulate military achievements. He wanted to figure out the specific situation of the fortress and the wilderness before taking action.
?? For several days in a row, Sean Qianqian opened the way to inquire about the situation of the Kedot Fortress, and finally got a general understanding of the specific situation of the Kedot Fortress.
There are three main forces in the Kedot Fortress, one of which, that is, the strongest force is the defenders of the Kolben Empire stationed here, all of which are composed of elite knights, and the three commanders are even more powerful. Reached the rank of legendary knight.
??The second force is the large and small mercenary teams composed of mercenaries in the city. Although these mercenary teams do not have legendary knight-level masters, the powerful mercenary teams are also guarded by paladins.
And the third force is also the merchants in the city and the tavern operators, etc. Although the strength of this third force is not as strong as the first two, but the relationship is intricate, and many of them have connections with the powerful mercenaries in the city and even the high-level military. The connection, which seems to be the weakest, is actually not weak.
??After learning that the Legendary Knight is considered the strongest force even in this Kedot Fortress, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.
A paladin with a strength of 300,000 catties is a paladin, and a strength of more than 1 million catties is a low-rank legendary knight. After that, a knight with a strength of more than 3 million catties is a middle-ranked legendary knight. He is a high-ranking legendary knight.
??Sean's current strength is over 100,000 catties, which is considered to be the first time he has entered the level of a great knight, but this is without using his blood talent.
Leaving aside the talent of speed and lightning, the increase of the talent of strength has reached 15 times. If the talent of strength is used, the strength can immediately jump to 1.5 million catties. This level, even among the lower legendary knights, is no longer the bottom of the existence. .
In other words, if he uses his talent of strength and bloodline, his strength should be able to reach the combat strength of the next legendary knight. Although this strength is not invincible in this fortress, it is definitely one of the strongest. There should be a lot of protection.
?? "Test the strength and go to the left, test the speed and go to the right, one hundred gold coins each time."
??Come to the center of the city, in a huge venue, a man in the uniform of a fortress soldier appeared in front of Sean. The man saw Sean coming and said.
??Sean nodded, handed the other one hundred gold coins and walked in.
?? This venue belongs to the military of the fortress, and there are many rooms dedicated to testing strength and speed. Although it is also open to other people besides the soldiers of the fortress, there is a fee of 100 gold coins for use.
?? Knowing that there is such a place in the fortress, Sean naturally wouldn't miss it. Even if he came here, he wanted to test his specific strength.
??Sean first walked to the strength test area, found a test room with no one there, walked in, and locked the door behind him.
??In the room, there are several permanent lights, so even if the door is closed, it does not appear dim.
The room is not big, only more than three hundred square meters. In the room, the most eye-catching thing is a wall made entirely of metal. Sean's gaze fell on this huge metal wall immediately. .
According to the information he inquired, this metal wall is a tool to test strength, and the test method is also very simple, that is, use all your strength to attack this metal wall, and how deep the attack can destroy the metal wall represents How destructive it is.
For example, a great knight whose strength has just reached 100,000 jin can leave a mark one centimeter deep on the metal wall with his attack. By analogy, when the strength reaches 200,000 jin, he can leave a mark two centimeters deep. .
?? Phew!
??Withdrawing his sword, Sean slashed towards the metal wall.
??Chick!
??A sword slashed across, and a scratch appeared on the metal wall. Sean glanced at it, about one centimeter, representing a force of 100,000 jin, which happened to be the strength he does not use the talent of blood.
??Just now, he did not use his blood talent, just to see if the metal wall test was accurate.
After confirming that the test of the destructive power of the metal wall was indeed accurate, Sean stared at the scratch on the metal wall and waited. Not long after, a strange scene appeared. The scratch gradually became shallower, and finally recovered slowly. .
?? "Sure enough, it can be recovered, it is really a strange metal!"
?? Seeing the metal wall that had been restored to its original state, Sean sighed slightly.
??According to his inquiries, the metal used in this metal wall is an alloy accidentally discovered by a weapon master when refining weapons. Because of its recoverable properties, it was used in the destructive power test.
?? Poof!
??The sword in Sean's hand slashed across again, and slammed into the metal wall fiercely.
??A scratch appeared on the metal wall again, but this time the scratch was much deeper than before. The depth reached a full fifteen centimeters. If estimated according to the force, it is 1.5 million catties of destructive force.
?? "It seems that the previous estimate is not wrong."
?? Seeing this, Sean nodded. He used his mid-level strength talent for the sword just now, and the result was no surprise. It did reach about 1.5 million catties. It seems that the previous estimate was correct.
?? "Then the rest is the attack of the intermediate lightning talent!"
??Backing back slightly, Sean began to be surrounded by thick purple lightning, and then all the lightning merged into a huge thunder spear, and then stabbed out violently.
?? Peng!
??After the huge impact, a not-so-shallow circular pothole appeared on the metal wall. Sean walked over and glanced over.
?? "17 cm deep, it is indeed stronger than the middle-level strength talent."
If one centimeter is equivalent to 100,000 catties of destructive force, 17 centimeters is equivalent to 1.7 million catties of force. That is to say, when Xiao En uses the middle-level lightning talent now, his combat power is already comparable to A legendary knight with a strength of 1.7 million catties.
If the mid-level strength talent is used, the destructive power can reach 1.5 million catties, and if the mid-level lightning talent is used, the destructive power can reach 1.7 million catties. There is no doubt that after the bloodline talent is increased, in terms of pure destructive power, Xiao En is already comparable to the lower legendary knights, and even among the lower legendary knights, it should be close to the middle level.
?? After waiting in the room for a while, after confirming that the traces of damage had been recovered and that no one else would see him, Sean opened the door and walked out. He came to the original corridor and walked to the room where the speed was tested on the other side.
?? "You bastard, we are obviously equal in strength, but the speed is so much faster than me!"
?? "Hey, this is a blood talent, a natural one, I can't envy you!"
Coming here, Sean didn't find an empty speed test room, but after a short wait, the door of a speed test room opened, and two young men walked out, He was also talking about the speed test just now.
??Sean walked in, closed the door, and looked at the room.
??Compared with the strength testing room, which is only about 300 square meters and square, the speed testing room is much larger, and the shape is not square, but long and narrow like a runway.
In the long and narrow room, there are nine straight slits on the left wall. At the end of each slit, there is a triangular iron mark protruding from the end of each slit. On the iron mark are written: Apprentice Knight, Lower Knight, Middle Knight Rank Knight, High Rank Knight, Grand Knight, Paladin, Lower Legendary Knight, Middle Legendary Knight, Higher Legendary Knight.
?? This is the main tool for testing speed.
?? Inside the left wall is a mechanism with a spring structure. When a certain iron mark is pulled back to the starting position and let go, the iron mark will immediately return to the end position along the slit due to the spring pulling.
??The moving speed of each iron mark represents the moving speed of the person who has just entered the rank marked on the iron mark.
To put it simply, if your running speed is faster than the iron mark marked with the rank of the lower knight, then your speed exceeds that of the first-time lower knight, and so on. When the moving speed of the iron mark is higher, your speed will exceed that of the first-time great knight.
