"In our Miller Knights, those who dare to do this usually have two choices: first, get out of the Knights and never be allowed to join again; second, take twenty whips dipped in salt water, and then go back to continue training. A very small number of people will be seriously injured and kicked out, and the commander's son and daughter are no exception. Sun Yang, is Lindlud where you live such a peaceful country? How did you meet so many nobles and the leader's daughters who are not very smart? She must not be a fool, right? Only fools would not bother people. I don't think Lindlud can afford so many fools." Rukatiye laughed heartily.
"Just think of me as unlucky. Okay, I'm going to open the door. Whoever's inside, we're here to rescue you. Can you open the door? I've already cleared out the cursed frogs outside." Sun Yang exhaled and knocked on the wooden door in front of him.
There was no movement. The sensor showed that the other party had not even moved. Sun Yang did not intend to wait. He directly smashed the wooden door roughly and tore it open.
A creature that looked a lot like...a birdman was lying on the ground. It wasn't deliberately suppressing its breathing, but its breathing was already very weak.
Sun Yang took a breath and immediately realized that the air here had become very turbid. The creature in front of him had probably been trapped here for some time.
"Come and help Rukatiye, let's move it out. It needs to breathe fresh air and, if possible, eat something to supplement its nutrition. Look how thin this guy is." Sun Yang grabbed its left shoulder and thigh without hesitation.
"Is this the thing we want to save?" Rukatiye was rather evasive, and only after some determination did he grab the other leg and shoulder. "When you said birdman, I thought it just had wings at most! How come yours is just a bird's head? And the wings even replace the arms!"
"Gu, gu... Help, help..." The bird-headed man who was tormented like this also seemed to have some consciousness, "Cursed frog, there is a cursed frog..."
"All the cursed frogs have been killed. Hurry, let's go up." Rukatiye said as she and Sun Yang carried the skinny creature through the cave, and then climbed back along the original rope.
The people of Lion Froza, who had been waiting at the entrance of the cave for a while, let out low exclamations when they saw the two men really carry up a strange creature.
"Why is this guy not wearing any clothes?" said a lion named Froza.
"Tucker doesn't wear clothes either. What do you think she can wear? How can she wear those wings?" another person followed up.
"It does look like a bird. Tucker, do you recognize this creature?" The Froza man asked Scorpion Tucker, who was staring into the air next to him.
"I don't know her. But I can sense that she is also a life created by my Lord. Tell these two people that she doesn't need to eat anything. Just give her some water and let her breathe fresh air." Scorpion Tucker said.
"How can we survive without eating..." the Froza man muttered, but still conveyed his request to Sun Yang.
Sun Yang first let the birdman lie down in an open space for a while, then helped her up and gave her half a bottle of water. After a while, the birdman's breathing became much more stable.
"This is the first time I've seen a creature that can survive by drinking some water." Rukatiye touched her hungry stomach. She had been following Sun Yang for such a long time, and she had three meals a day without missing a single meal. Her stomach had already adapted to the good eating habits.
286 Describe a beautiful future for Birdman
"Gu! Ah! Thank you! I'm alive!" The bird-headed man gulped down a lot of water. "I thought I was going to die in there. I'd rather die of starvation or exhaustion than be frozen in place by petrification magic for tens of thousands of years."
Sun Yang gave her a narrow-mouthed glass bottle filled with water. The birdman didn't hesitate and drank it all in one breath. She wiped her beak.
The lion warriors nearby all went back to do their own things, only one older one stayed behind to see if there was anything else they needed to do.
"Thank you for saving my life. My name is Onefix. I really don't know how to thank you. Unfortunately, I am penniless at the moment. I am really sorry. Could you please come to my house?" The birdman burped.
"Where is your home?" Sun Yang asked.
"I live in the pyroxene town of Gaidole, in a suburban building where I have my workshop. However, that place is a bit dangerous for humans, but I can see that you two are not ordinary warriors. Those dangers probably can't hurt you." said the birdman.
"The passage is blocked by the scorpion's companions. If you want to pass, you must defeat it."
"Oh my god, I just came out to collect some materials, and the day has passed so quickly," the birdman said dejectedly, "How am I going to get back? I only know this one road. Brother Lionhead, are you guys short of craftsmen?"
"Don't worry, I'm in need of craftsmen." Sun Yang looked at the lion next to him nervously. It would be too troublesome if the cooked duck flew away.
"We don't welcome outsiders. You can't integrate into our group." The Froza Lion Man refused bluntly.
"Ha! If they could integrate, Miller and Froza wouldn't have to start a war every two years. Froza people, do you still insist on the custom of blood sacrifice once a year?" Rukatiye helped out.
"That's our tradition, Millers, don't meddle in other people's business. Is the blood of your Knights clean?" The Lion-Headed Froza man also retorted without any hesitation.
"Oh..." Birdman looked around at these people and finally asked Sun Yang, who was a little excited, "So you are short of craftsmen?"
"I'll provide you with food and lodging, and I can tell you about other benefits on the way. It's okay if you want to go home, I'm going to deal with that scorpion girl Najika, and I can escort you all the way back to Gaidole in Pyroxene Town..." Sun Yang boasted, leaving the uninformed Bird Sister stunned.
"I think we should deal with the matter of the scorpion girl Najika first. Big brother, it seems that he is getting a little impatient." Rukatiye pointed at the scorpion Tucker who was standing silently beside him.
It made a series of strange hissing sounds. Sun Yang scratched his head and took out a whisper ring from his pocket and put it on his hand.
"You can prepare first and then move forward. She is very strong." A weak and low male voice came from Scorpion Tucker's mouth.
"I hope she's not that strong." Sun Yang replied.
"How come you suddenly understood it? Or is it the effect of this ring?" asked Rukatiye.
"I just wanted to give it a try. I bought a lot of things from Cat when I was shopping at Rumi before. This whispering ring is said to be able to hear the voices of wild beasts. But in reality, it feels like a translator. I can understand other people's languages." Sun Yang didn't remember that he had bought this ring until Scorpion Tucker spoke.
"You really don't understand the value of this ring. If you have this ring, you will be the most powerful animal tamer in the world. No one can understand the thoughts of animals better than you..." said Rukatiye.
"I definitely can't do it. I don't know how to take care of horses and other animals. It's hard for me to even raise a chicken. Instead of asking me to do it, I might as well give the ring to someone I trust. If you want it, I'll give it to you directly." Sun Yang took off the ring and put it into Rukatiye's hand.
"Such a precious thing? Then, I'll accept it." Rukatiye took it carefully in his hand, took off his gloves and put them on his index finger.
"The preparation I'm talking about is not this kind of preparation. Call me when you're done." Scorpion Tucker was speechless and prepared to leave.
"No, no, no, we'll be fine soon. Sun Yang, this birdman..."
"My name is Onefix, and I have my own name. Of course, I know I look like a bird, but calling someone by their name is a basic etiquette." The birdman said righteously.
"Anyway, just make your requests when the time comes. Okay, let's get going!" Sun Yang quickly brushed past the somewhat bad atmosphere and hurriedly took a few people to attack the Scorpion Girl Najika.
***
The fastest way from the Lost Ruins to the Pharos Gate is through a sandy valley. This terrain is a very comfortable environment for scorpions. The crazy scorpion girl Najika also followed her instincts and chose this place as her home.
The battle itself was not difficult. In addition to the strong support from Scorpion Tucker and Rukatiye, Sun Yang also accidentally found a white talisman.
Veteran Bradley. They hadn't encountered each other since their brief encounters in Rumi. Sun Yang summoned him and exchanged pleasantries with him.
Bradley was very excited. He, the wandering knight Gulencol, and several other like-minded people had been spending varying amounts of time together recently. Everyone had his own mission and task.
Although the small alliance they formed was doing its best to assist other undead, as they went deeper into the continent, everyone had to face increasingly dangerous environments and challenges. Many of the new undead they helped fell somewhere on the continent.
Seeing Sun Yang standing here in good health, and cooperating with Rukatiye, Bradley was very happy. There was nothing better than having a teammate who could advance and retreat together.
Bradley's own qualities were quite strong, so the situation during the exploration was relatively optimistic. However, Sun Yang's former cheap master, the wandering knight Gulencol, had gone to the Iron City. He said he wanted to fight someone there, and there was no new news as of yet.
After Sun Yang and Bradley quickly exchanged information, they entered the place where the scorpion girl Najika lived. Although it was a violent creature, it also used a lot of soul crystal guns as a means of attack.
But facing the Rukatiye in his prime and Bradley, the strongest NPC veteran in Dark Souls 2, it was useless even when it was furious.
Veteran Bradley wields the Holy Bell of the Circle, constantly restoring everyone through miracles. He is also a formidable warrior proficient in combat. The Hyde Spear in his hand bursts with the power of lightning, piercing the scorpion girl Najika's body several times.
Rukatiye swung his sword and quickly cut off the opponent's lower scorpion limbs, while Scorpion Tucker used the two large pincers in front of him to beat his compatriot's broken body without any hesitation.
Sun Yang just fished nearby, throwing a few lightning spears at his leisure. In this world, bosses didn't have any connection bonuses; they were as strong as they could be, making group fights extremely cost-effective.
After being beaten by four strong men and women, this violent creature was completely unable to resist. It was already barely even on par with Scorpion Tucker one-on-one, and now it was facing a one-on-four situation, it was almost unable to fight back.
In the end, Scorpion Najika was completely cut off from his upper body by Rukatiye's beautiful slash.
This is not an easy task, as the scorpion's humanoid form is not fragile because these creatures do not obtain energy for movement by eating with their upper parts, so they do not have so many messy organs.
Those parts were still very hard, and ordinary swords and knives could not leave any bloodstains. But Rukatiye was an expert in combat after all. Relying on her powerful strength and excellent weapons, she directly cut the upper half of the opponent in two.
The remaining upper and lower bodies were immediately attacked mercilessly by their teammates. Some burned the scorpion in the lower body, while others buried the person with the severed upper body.
Amidst a burst of lightning, thunder and chopping sounds, the resilient scorpion Najika finally exhausted all his vitality.
Veteran Bradley and Rukatiye disappeared after the BOSS disappeared. Sun Yang took some time to catch up with each other on the progress of the operation.
The three then said goodbye to Scorpion Tucker, stepped on the slightly warm sand, and crossed the valley to the Pharos Gate.
After leaving the valley of the Vast Forest, one must cross a series of towering mountainous landscapes. Several deep canyons tear through the area, as if a giant claw had scratched the ground.
Several streams flowed out from the cracks in this rift valley. Although the climate here was very humid and not very suitable for living, at least there was water and soil, and they could maintain a basic life and occasionally catch some fish and shrimp to survive.
There are many traces of artificial repairs in these mountain streams, and a large number of sophisticated Pharos mechanisms have been built here.
According to the rumors that the Foroza heard in Dolan Gureg, the construction of this Pharos Gate involved many things.
In the past, the Qing Cult has always claimed to be the protector of all poor people. They gathered those who were persecuted and exiled, and brought the gods they believed in into the Qing Cult. Later, they built the Qing Cult into a very inclusive polytheistic religious force.
But as time went on, the world prospered again, and the Cult of the Green was no exception. But with prosperity came corruption and greed, and the Cult of the Green soon ceased to be the protector of the poor.
Many people who came from the Green Church country of Volken have experience in business or as craftsmen. In their mouths, Volken has become a country without the approval of the Green Church, and even setting up stalls to do business will cause trouble.
On the other hand, those who are good at making mechanical mazes and Faros came to this mountain stream with a group of people who had neither gods nor homeland and lived a lonely and scattered life.
Pharos guided and assisted these people in building a habitable environment and mechanisms to defend against foreign enemies. To commemorate him, the residents here named a repaired mountain road outside the city the Pharos Gate.
"But there has been no news of Faros since then. That man suddenly disappeared one day, leaving behind only the repaired mechanism and residence here. By the way, Sun Yang, you just said that there are hot showers and a comfortable environment provided all day long?" The birdman Onefix turned his head and stared at Sun Yang.
"Everything can be provided. All I need is for you to use and understand magic and soul. Come, look at these, these are photos of living environments." Sun Yang took out some photos from his pocket and showed them to the birdman.
It's probably about the working environment, living environment, etc. in the Oasis base.
During the initial construction of the Oasis Base, they considered that high-tech equipment requires a stable and sufficiently good environment. At the same time, many of the Oasis humanoids have requirements for environmental comfort, so they put a lot of effort into the living conditions.
Just looking at the living environment, it's definitely from the Gossamer Dark Souls world.
"Photos? Oh~ detailed drawings, huh?" Birdman commented on the photos. "Hmm, they're pretty clean."
It was obvious that the birdman couldn't understand what many of the things in the pictures were used for, but she could tell that at least the environment was pretty good. The birdman Onifex immediately showed a strong interest in joining Sun Yang.
Rukatiye glanced at the birdman and said nothing. They didn't see each other often anyway, so it didn't matter if she wasn't used to the birdman.
"But can your colleagues accept me in this state? Of course, I am used to the curious and fearful looks from humans," the birdman continued.
"I've already said it. No problem." While fighting the BOSS, Sun Yang took the time to send a message to Pascal and the agent, asking them to notify Oasis and Griffin.
There wasn't much commotion at the oasis, but I just hoped the person they brought over would be easy to get along with. Griffin... Griffin's humanoid form didn't respond, as creatures like him weren't allowed into the Griffin base.
So far, Sun Yang has only recruited one Strade to his base. Judging by the Oasis T-dolls' feedback, Strade has fully adapted to the Oasis environment, living a comfortable life of research and petting. Presumably, the others will be able to adapt to life in the Oasis as well.
In short, Birdman was easily abducted by Sun Yang. After all, the life Sun Yang described to her was indeed wonderful.
"Gu! You said you need my understanding and application of magic? It's true that I inherited the soul-refining power of my master, the Ancient White One, but this continent has developed technology for a long time. There may be some spells that I can't interpret clearly, or there may be some biases. Of course, I can find a way to solve these, but I'm afraid it will take a long time of research and study. Even so, is it okay? I, I just need a reminder."
The birdman said a little panicked.
"I told you, just come. I have confidence in you." Sun Yang's raised mouth corners became a reassurance to the birdman.
287 The History of Pyroxene Town, the Unrivaled Thigh
The local residents of the Pharos Gate watched Sun Yang and his group from a hidden cave. They were short and stocky Gaelum people who had been persecuted and had wandered here to make their home.
The birdman Onefix is very familiar with the dwarves here because he often travels to the Gate of Pharos.
After the birdman Onefix chatted a lot with the dwarves here, the other party generously let them pass.
Crossing the stone bridges and stairs built by the dwarves, one could cross the entire canyon at a relatively fast speed. After two days of walking through the wilderness, they arrived at the outskirts of the pyroxene town of Gaidol.
Although the birdman Onefix has been living in Gaidole, the pyroxene town, this place is far from a comfortable living environment. It is no wonder that the birdman Onefix has no feeling of nostalgia for his hometown.
Under the sunlight, the entire town exudes a desolate and dilapidated feeling. At the center of the town is a huge ore pit, the walls of which are covered with scaffolding and hollow caves. Sporadic knocking sounds echo in the pit.
The townspeople's homes were also built on the reclaimed mountain walls, but due to lack of maintenance, they have gradually weathered into ruins.
Among these dilapidated ruins, there is a well-preserved cathedral. The church stands between the mountains and the ruins, and you can still hear the sound of prayers inside.
Not far from the valley where Sun Yang was, one could see the high city walls, densely packed with siege crossbows and other heavy equipment. There seemed to be traces of people moving around.
Pyroxene Town, literally, is a small town that makes a living by mining ore. This place has a long history of mining.
Pyroxene is actually not a mineral like ruby, sapphire or diamond, but a stone transformed from dragon's saliva or some other secretion from the body tissue.
Pyroxene contains a considerable amount of magical power, which can be harmful to the human body if inhaled without processing. However, after proper processing, these pyroxenes can be smelted into equipment with special effects, and can also be used to replace wedge stones to strengthen equipment.
Even in this world, mining ore still carries risks to one's life.
Whether it's facing the collapse of scaffolding, cave collapse, or long hours of labor, physical and respiratory diseases caused by breathing dust, these are all deadly things.
Although the townspeople earned a lot of money through hard work, they could not compare to Duke Gaidole, who sold all the pyroxene.
Duke Gaidoele was a man who particularly loved spiders. He sent people everywhere to find spiders to feed.
Many townspeople complained that the spiders crawling all over the ground were too dangerous, but Duke Gaidol directly hired the famous Great Eagle Knights to suppress the townspeople and exploit the local townspeople.
The Great Eagle Knights hailed from the Green Church nation of Volken. Within this nation, those with some strength became private soldiers for the wealthy. With the blessing of wealth, these private soldiers gradually evolved into a knightly order with astonishing combat effectiveness. Their greatest characteristic was their willingness to accept employment from anyone with significant wealth.
Duke Gaidol's atrocities were eventually revealed to King Pancrad of Dolan Graeg.
However, this mountainous region has long been easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Pharros Gate was also not a suitable location for a large-scale attack. Unable to deploy their forces, Dolan Gureg could not defeat the enemy with superior numbers, and the two sides were forced to clash at the valley entrance.
However, the Great Eagle Knights managed to drag the battle to victory thanks to the siege equipment they had accumulated in the town, their own well-trained troops, and their high morale.
After all, this is the place where pyroxene is produced, so it would be easy for the Great Eagle Knights to get some powerful weapons.
In addition, after the battle began, Duke Gaidol relied on the connections he had accumulated from selling pyroxene to build relationships everywhere.
