Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Five scarlet silver rapiers generated by magic power surrounded the scarlet silver long sword, forming a parallel circular formation, thus assisting Viviana to gather a large amount of magic power into this circular sword formation.

Looking at the scene where the arrow was on the string ready to be released, Driggs sighed secretly.

He sighed not because Viviana couldn't defeat the monster by doing this, but because using magic power in this way was too wasteful.

Because of the existence of the "Pigeon Blood Red Stone" that can replenish magic power almost infinitely, Viviana's fighting style has always been bold and aggressive, with no concept of saving magic power.

Driggs may have earned the nickname "Pyroblast," but in reality, his control over his magic power is as delicate as threading a needle.

If Driggs were to coach Viviana, he would have expected Viviana to avoid the attack at this moment, and then use the "Floating Scarlet Silver Sword" which consumed less magic power to shoot down the vortex wind feather giant eagle at a low altitude.

——(I really don’t know how Rodrigo and Augusto taught me… After the battle, I’ll personally guide him…)

[Note: The Red Prison Elder Rodrigo, the Black Prison Elder Augusto.]

However, just as Driggs was thinking this, Viviana launched an attack that was completely different from what he expected.

As the tip of the scarlet silver sword emitted a dazzling white light, an unstoppable stream of energy was launched.

However, unlike what Driggs had imagined, the "Scarlet Silver Sword Formation: Annihilation Style" used by Viviana this time did not emit an astonishing stream of energy as he had seen before, but only emitted a ray as thick as a finger.

How could this be called an "annihilation attack"? It's clearly a joke, right?

However, Driggs quickly noticed Viviana's intention behind this move. This girl wasn't being careless or lazy... she was intentionally compressing the attack's output, thereby achieving a higher magical density!

Under Viviana's careful control, the "Scarlet Silver Sword Formation: Annihilation Style" not only easily pierced through the oncoming "Earth-Splitting Wind Slash", but also accurately hit the head of the Whirlwind Feather Eagle, killing two birds with one stone.

And most importantly, she achieved all of this while using only about one-tenth of the magic power she normally uses! This was what Driggs admired the most!

——(Wonderful, really wonderful... Viviana, you have grown up. Rodrigo, Augusto, you two taught me well!)

Driggs almost couldn't help but applaud and cheer, but the image of the cold and arrogant head of the family made him hold back.

After this, the Whirlwind Feather Eagle, whose head was severely injured, became a spent force, and even the most basic flight became crooked.

Viviana did not miss the opportunity to end the battle. By controlling five floating scarlet silver swords generated by magic, she directly chopped down the Vortex Wind Feather Eagle to the ground in low altitude.

Once it landed on the ground, the Whirlwind Feather Eagle had no chance. Viviana, who had flown over, mercilessly cut it in half with the "Floating Crimson Silver Sword·Greatsword Style", completely declaring the end of the battle.

The cavalry of the Feiqi family finally arrived after Viviana had put away her weapons.

This is not to criticize their slow speed, but Viviana's battle was too fast. The whole process took less than two minutes, leaving no chance for the cavalry to perform.

The cavalrymen who saw Viviana's battle from afar were all impressed by this young girl.

Any rumors that Viviana was just a pretty face would vanish without a trace in the light of this indisputable fact.

After witnessing this scene today, many young cavalrymen began to dream, dreaming that they would be able to win Viviana's favor after becoming stronger.

But what they didn't know was that in Viviana's heart, there was already a young man who had quietly settled down.

10.90 - Investigating the forces behind the commission

"Ah - sneeze!"

In a small town in the south of the Kraftsman United States, a wandering mercenary with a mysterious charm sneezed slightly.

There are two theories about sneezing in the world.

One is that when someone misses you, you sneeze;

The other one is just the opposite, saying that whenever someone scolds you, you will sneeze;

If cursing is also a form of longing, then these two statements can be combined into a contradictory unity. However, this wandering mercenary does not care about these. What he cares about now is the power hidden behind the "investigation commission".

The real identity of the wandering mercenary is a young man named Jiang Ran. He sneaked in the Besent Mountains in the southern part of the Kraftsman United States for a whole day yesterday. Later, he discovered the current town at the foot of the mountain, so he came here to inquire about the news.

For some not particularly moral reasons, Jiang Ran used the alias "Wandering Mercenary Geffix" to disguise himself.

Being one-eyed, a lone wolf, and having agile skills, Geffex naturally has a mysterious appeal. However, the most special thing about this character is how clean he is when he eats.

The restaurant owners in the town had never seen a guy as thin and gluttonous as Geffex, and as long as the dishes were served on his table, not even a crumb would be left.

Back to the topic, after half a day of secret investigation, Gfix learned a very important piece of information from the task union in this small town.

The intelligence was that the hidden force issuing the "Besent Basin" investigation request was likely connected to the largest craftsmen's union in the Craftsman United States.

·

In the Prison Star World, when talking about the Kraftsman United States, most people first think of the plateau sub-human race that settled in this country: the Yak People.

The Yak People are known as the "Boat of the Plateau" in the Prison Star World.

Legend has it that the Yak People had already lived on the Besent Plateau before the founding of the Kraftsman Republic.

Both men and women of the Yak People usually have strong physiques and are over 1.9 meters tall.

They are born with excellent cold resistance, and their blood carries oxygen much more efficiently than ordinary humans, which allows them to move freely in high-altitude environments with thin air.

In addition, the Yak People's eyes have adapted to the strong sunlight and the reflection of the snow, which allows them to maintain excellent vision in both dim and bright environments. Their feet are broad and tough, like yak hooves, allowing them to stand firmly even on the most slippery ice.

In terms of physical appearance, the Yak People have thick eyebrows, a slightly raised outline on the bridge of the nose, and horny protrusions on both sides of the head.

The more the horny protrusions resemble horns, the stronger the physical fitness of the yak man. This unique physiological characteristic is the unbreakable glory of every yak man.

In addition to the horns on their heads, the Yak People have another distinctive feature, which is their dark brown skin.

The skin of the Yak People is often evenly covered with a layer of fine and soft fur. Especially in cold seasons, this layer of fur becomes thicker to resist the cold.

In the relatively warm summer, the hair on their bodies falls off, making them look much more similar to ordinary humans.

In the southern town where Jiang Ran is currently located, there are basically no yak people.

Although the Yak People are one of the main races in the Kraftsman United States, their physical characteristics make them prefer to live in the north and use their expertise in the ice and snow.

In addition to habits, there is another factor that makes the yak people generally like the north. This factor is that only in the snow-capped mountains in the north can high-quality "burning stones" be excavated.

·

The so-called burning stone is essentially a carbon-like ore that contains high-density magic power.

For the Yak People, who excel at smelting and forging equipment, "Burning Stone" is an indispensable partner.

With the help of the "burning stone", the Yak people can control the temperature of the flame as they wish, thus creating the best works.

Relying on the unique material environment and their own racial talents, the Yak People are highly renowned smelting experts both inside and outside the Kraftsman United States.

Shortly after the founding of the Kraftsman United States, the Yak People formed the "Highland Hearth Union" with the aim of promoting the Yak People's forging and smelting technology.

Today, the Plateau Hearthfire Union is not only the leader in the Kraftsman United States, but also a benchmark in the Human Alliance.

Jiang Ran learned through investigation that the reason why the "Highland Hearth Union" issued investigation commissions to task unions in neighboring countries and regions was actually to understand the situation of monsters near the Besent Basin and then complete the "monster clearance" in the area.

As for what to do after clearing out the monsters, people in the know have many different opinions and views.

Some say that the Plateau Hearthfire Guild intends to build a large-scale construction project in the Besent Basin, where they will build a large workshop for smelting materials and manufacturing equipment;

Some people believe that there may be some precious minerals hidden underground in the Besent Basin, so the Plateau Hearthfire Guild has spared no expense in issuing so many commissions and asking paid hunters to help explore the way first.

No matter what the truth of the matter is, Jiang Ran is happy to hear it.

With a force of the level of the Plateau Hearthfire Guild keeping an eye on the Besent Basin, there would be no worries about having trouble finding the Dark Rabbit Clan later.

The rest depends on how Jiang Ran responds to the situation.

The camera cuts back to the Feiqi family.

Led by Viviana, the cavalry of the Feiqi family had been galloping on the road for a whole day.

Perhaps it was because Viviana's battle this morning boosted morale, but the entire team moved much faster than originally planned, arriving at the agreed location with the "Highland Hearth Guild" half a day early.

——(We arrived so early, I wonder if the 'contact' has arrived yet...)

Viviana was a little worried, but only a little.

If the contact person hasn't arrived yet, she can let the cavalry rest for a night first. After all, it is better to arrive early than late.

What surprised Viviana was that when they approached the foot of the Besent Mountains, a red flag embroidered with a forging hammer and tongs was already flying and waiting for them.

"Father, we can see the flag of the Plateau Hearthfire Guild." Viviana retreated to the center of the cavalry and reported to Lord Driggs of Scarlet.

"Okay, have someone prepare the gifts, and you come with me to meet them."

Driggs nodded, his face as expressionless as ever.

At this time, Lord Feiqi, who had originally only planned to customize and purchase equipment, did not know that he was about to take Viviana and the cavalry into a vortex of fate from which he could not escape.

10.91 - Woodcorn

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 47 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

Northwest of the Farnas Empire, at the foot of the Besent Mountains.

Although October is just halfway through, in this high-latitude, high-altitude area, the low temperatures of winter have quietly arrived with the arrival of night.

Woodcorn, the vice president of the "Highland Hearth Union" and a yak-man, was currently resting in the tent he had built himself.

This capable yak man always sits upright even when he is resting, making his shiny black leather jacket look even straighter.

At this moment, the welcoming team led by Woodcorn were packing their bags in the tent next door.

After five days of trekking through mountains and rivers, they finally crossed the Besent Mountains and the border and arrived at the agreed place.

As far as Woodcorn knew, according to the agreed time, the team of the Feiqi family would arrive tomorrow morning, and the mission of Woodcorn and his team on this trip was to bring the members of the Feiqi family safely to the headquarters of the Plateau Furnace Union.

As for how to cooperate with the Feiqi family specifically, that is not within the scope of Woodcorn's responsibilities this time.

—(The Scarlet Kiki family... Explosive Driggs... I'm really looking forward to it.)

Woodcorn is very interested in all the strong people, which is why he took the initiative to act as a contact person to welcome the members of the Feiqi family this time.

Although due to his status and position, Woodcorn hardly has the opportunity to fight Driggs directly, but on the way from here to the Plateau Hearthfire Guild Headquarters, there are many monsters trying to force Driggs to take action.

As long as he could see how the so-called "Explosive Flame" fought up close, Woodcorn would be satisfied.

"Okay, it's time to go to bed."

Woodcorn stood up, stretched himself a little, and then prepared to go to sleep.

But at this moment, the entourage ran to report to Woodcorn...

"Lord Woodcorn! Someone is approaching!"

"……what?"

Woodcorn narrowed his eyes and tilted his head.

Who would come out at this time of night... But if the report is true, then this is a very dangerous signal - after all, seven out of ten people who would move around in the wilderness at night are bandits and robbers.

"Did you see clearly who it was?"

"Sorry, the distance is too far and I can't see it clearly."

"Notify everyone to prepare for battle. I'll be out right away."

Woodcorn responded decisively. As vice president, he has accumulated a lot of experience so far.

The tall and strong yak man walked to the wall, picked up a long-handled battle axe, and then strode out of the tent.

·

Thanks to the moon, visibility at the foot of Mount Besant is very good tonight.

Woodcorn gazed far ahead and soon spotted the "figure" his men had mentioned on a distant hill.

"Wow, there are not only people, but also horses."

The Yak People's naturally excellent eyesight allowed Woodcorn to see more clearly than his subordinates.
