Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 277: Holy Stone
Some things are indeed superficial when learned from books. The information I have read in the past only briefly mentioned that the general level of social development in the worlds of the Osis plane is not high and nationalization is also limited.

But now it seems that this rule is even looser and weaker than expected, and the internal contradictions are deeper and more numerous than expected at the beginning!
Roy hasn't given any far-reaching considerations yet, such as making full use of these contradictions.

But it is necessary to test the official power of this world.

Keeping this in mind, he was not in a hurry to take any action.

He didn't want to appear too eager.

Sure enough, he didn't go to find the tavern owner, but the tavern owner came to him himself.

"Lord Luker, do you think this mission interests you?
They're the Ice Orcs from the eastern Larb Icefield. They always keep their word, and the price they offered this time is quite good...

If you can help them get the grain back, not only will I be paid the full price of the grain, but I'll also add 50% as a reward!"

“You actually spent such a large sum of money?”

"That can't be helped. We Icefield Orcs have a saying: food is life!

Besides, this is also to vent my anger!"

Just as Roy was talking to the tavern owner, the middle-aged leader came up and introduced himself.

"My dear hero, my name is Lu Anti. I wonder if you are interested in taking on this mission."

"Luanti, you have found the right person this time. Lord Luker is definitely capable of helping you get the food back and get rid of your anger!" the tavern owner boasted.

"Okay, I'll take this task."

Roy thought about it and said it simply.

Lu Anti thought for a moment and took out a green stone the size of a pigeon egg: "This is a deposit!
We Ice Orcs never treat our friends who are willing to help us unfairly!"

No wonder he can do business. In the orc world, he is definitely a person with high emotional intelligence.

Roy took a look at it. The color of this thing was like the sky after the rain, the surface was smooth, and the whole body was glowing with a faint luster.

At first glance, it looks like some kind of glass product, with faintly visible fine textures inside, like cracks.

But when I looked at it more carefully, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"This thing..."

"This is a piece of sky stone I picked up at the foot of the tribe's sacred mountain. According to the legend passed down by the elders, it contains the power of the gods' blessing.

If you are a recognized warrior, you will be able to activate the holy marks and gain the blessing of the Beast God!"

Hearing the middle-aged orc's words, Luker couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Isn't it said that Behemoth is a mad god who doesn't care about anything?"

The middle-aged orc's face turned serious, and he said somewhat unhappily, "Young man, be careful with your words.

Behemoth is just keen on fighting and killing, and doesn't care about worldly matters..."

Roy glanced at him and thought to himself, "Aren't you making things worse by exaggerating?"

Only then did he realize that the "Beast God" that the orcs often talked about was actually the Behemoth.

This is the original god of the Osis plane and also the most powerful god.

The tiger-man god Hegertai and the lion-man god Willai who rose to prominence later were all his descendants.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer people believe in primitive animal gods, and instead believe in the racial gods of their own race.

However, there are still many border areas and relatively underdeveloped places like the ice fields that maintain their belief in the Beast God.

Moreover, most orcs have Behemoth blood in their bodies.

However, having said that, Roy had no way of finding out what the Behemoth God was like or what the legends of the tribe were like.

What he was really interested in was the identification information he had just seen with the Eye of Hermes.

"The Holy Mark Stone...

This is a strange thing that has been eroded and sanctified by divine power!
In a sense, it can be regarded as the holy emblem of the gods, or something that has been soaked in holy water and crystallized with divine power.

If it is attributes such as light and life, it will have a strong ability to fight against demons and undead creatures.

"Behemoth isn't a benevolent deity, so he doesn't possess the power of purification or protection. But does it really seem to contain some kind of divine information?"

Even Roy couldn't figure out what that power was.

However, he did have an interest in this kind of thing, and said to the middle-aged orc Luanti: "Okay, I'll take this task!"

Luanti bowed deeply and said, "I am waiting for your good news in the city."

……

Not long after, Roy rushed to the outskirts of the city and found the group of heavily armored soldiers who had not yet left.

“Who are you…Ah!”

Without saying a word, a tiger enters the flock of sheep.

In the blink of an eye, Roy had drawn his sword and killed several orc soldiers, proving their life level and martial arts skills.

"As expected, he's at the level of a high-ranking knight. His equipment and training are quite good...

Among the Knightlanders, only Atidia in her early days could reach this level!"

The soldiers under Atidia's command are all only at the intermediate level.

She herself is only of a high rank.

Later, he followed me and was given a bloodline potion, and was gradually promoted to the rank of Grand Knight.

This time, Roy did not bring his followers with him, but was surrounded by his close confidants.

Immediately use the "Refining Formation".

As rays of light shone from the corpses, small crystals like white rice grains precipitated and turned into solid crystals of the Stone of Experience, condensing in the air.

Roy reached out and grabbed them all, examining them briefly with the Eye of Hermes.

"Chop along the way..."

"Axe Weapon Mastery..."

"Polearm Mastery..."

"Battle formation..."

Very good, they are all elite men.

Your knowledge and experience, the martial arts you have worked so hard to acquire, are now mine!

Roy grasped these crystals and instantly absorbed the spirituality from them!
And when Roy came to the leading orc officer and did the same thing.

A larger stone of experience floated out.

This is the experience stone contributed by mortal beings at the level of Great Knight.

“Although it’s not enough to instantly increase my spiritual strength, but accumulating small amounts into a tower is still a good gain.

If I keep going like this, I might become an excellent warrior!"

Roy looked at it for a while, laughed at himself, collected all these things, and then called Luker.

"Pour kerosene on it, pile up all the orc corpses and burn them!"

He did not use these corpses to grow meat mushrooms, because the sudden death of so many soldiers would definitely arouse suspicion and investigation.

The same applies to using blackening potions.

Luke responded and then started working quickly.

There is no other way. If you follow a wizard, you have to master these professional skills to a certain extent.

Practice makes perfect, and he is now an old hand.
