Chapter 361 The White Whale, the Mist Monster!

Chapter 361 The monster of fog—the white whale!

The so-called "White Whale of Mist" is naturally familiar to Anastasia and the others.

In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these three magical beasts named "White Whale" are the lifelong enemies of their merchants.

The so-called "White Whale of the Mist" was created by the Gluttony Witch more than 400 years ago on the premise that it is "huge and has a lot of meat that can fill many people's stomachs".

The created white whale was dominated by the "gluttony" factor. Over the past four hundred years, it would appear mysteriously somewhere and then devour a large number of creatures or goods.

Although big cities have a large population, they generally have strong barriers and combat capabilities, so smart beluga whales will not choose cities as attack targets.

It is also for this reason that caravans, which have limited combat capabilities and a large population, have become beluga whales' favorite targets.

The reason why it is called the "White Whale of Fog" is because the white whale has the ability to spray thick fog. Whenever it attacks a target, it will plunge the surrounding area into thick fog, and then hide in the thick fog. Waiting for an opportunity to strike in the fog.

Therefore, every time the beluga appears and disappears, there is almost no trace to follow. Whether you want to conquer or pursue it, it is not a simple matter.

And in addition to the troublesome abilities of the white whale, its magic power and combat power are also extremely powerful.

The previous sword master, Thearesia Van Astrea, who was Reinhardt's grandmother, once went to defeat this magical beast of fog, but the result was that the previous sword master died as a result.

No one knows the specific circumstances of Thearesia's battle with the White Whale, but many people also believe that part of the reason why Thearesia died was because Reinhardt received the protection of the "Sword Master".

As we all know, the "Sword Saint" blessing of the Astraea family is different from other blessings. It is an inherited blessing, but it can only be owned by one person in a world.

The young Reinhardt received the protection of the family's "Sword Master", which meant that Thearesia was going to die.

Of course, this is just a guess. After all, even if Theresia died in the battle with the white whale, it would not be a strange thing.

As the strongest of the three major monsters, White Whale would not have made trouble if it had been weak. For more than 400 years, no one has done anything to it.

Over the past 400 years, there have been many people who have gone to hunt down beluga whales, but basically no one has come back alive. Even for most people, no one knows what beluga whales look like or what abilities they have. .

Many of the goods in question this time were used by Anastasia to win over the nobles of the royal capital and establish connections, so they were very expensive.

If this batch of goods cannot be recovered, the losses to the Hexin Chamber of Commerce will be severe.

And in addition to the problem of goods, the "Iron Fang" mercenary group that has lost contact cannot be ignored.

Training a private mercenary group is already a huge expense, not to mention that the members of the mercenary group from Kalalaki to the royal capital this time are all elites from the Iron Fang.

All in all, the sudden bad news has now directly disrupted Anastasia's original plan.

If she loses this batch of goods and the elites of these mercenary groups, it will be even more difficult for her to win the King Selection Ceremony.

"Tell me the location of the incident. With the elite strength of our "Iron Fang" mercenary group, even if the opponent is a Mist monster, it should not be killed directly.

If I take people there now, I should be able to rescue some people and bring back the goods. "

The Mist Monster is only interested in food. Inedible goods are sometimes swallowed together, but sometimes, if you are lucky, they are left where they are.

Wilkin understood the importance of this cargo to Anastasia, and at the same time, he could not ignore the trapped mercenary group members, so he put on a suit of equipment and planned to go to the scene of the incident to rescue.

"You want to rely on these people to defeat the "White Whale of the Mist"? What's the difference between this and going to die directly!"

Seeing Wilkin holding a weapon and preparing to rush out of the door, Yurius naturally stretched out his hand to stop him.

Although he has never seen the "Mist Monster" and has never fought with it, White Whale's reputation is too great. Since even the previous Sword Master was defeated by it, Yurius does not think that Wilkin able to defeat the opponent.

"Even if I go to die, I have to save my companions. Sir Knight can just stay here to protect Miss Anna. I didn't let you go to die with me."

The members of the "Iron Fang" mercenary group are almost all orcs, and Wilkin is usually loved as the leader. Now that his members and his fellow members are unknown, he has a heroic and righteous character. Naturally, he cannot choose to sit back and watch.

Hearing Wilkin's half-serious and half-sarcastic words, Yurius couldn't help but laugh a little angrily. He even wondered whether the previous selection of his own camp was a little too hasty.

Even if Anastasia insists on fighting Emilia because of her personal vendetta, now the leader of the mercenary group under her command is actually a guy with only muscles in his head?

Of course, since he swore an oath in the palace to follow Anastasia and become her knight, Yurius would naturally not commit an act of betrayal due to his integrity.

So for Wilkin's provocation, Julius was not angry at the moment, but maintained an elegant demeanor and explained: "I am not against rescuing your "Iron Fang" mercenary group, nor do I want to retrieve the lost goods, but I think it is too unwise to rashly go to attack the white whale."

Wilkin wanted to say something when he heard what Julius said, but was stopped by Anastasia, who was standing beside him, and motioned Julius to continue.

"I have said before that the previous Sword Saint Theresa van Astraea died at the hands of the white whale.

And as far as I know, the husband of the previous Sword Saint Theresa, Mr. Wilhelm, known as the "Sword Demon", has been chasing the white whale all his life, trying to avenge his wife.

He even left the Astraea family for this and became Crusch's butler."

The love story with the "Sword Saint" and the "Sword Demon" was known to everyone in the capital at that time, and Julius was no exception.

When Julius mentioned this, the clever Anastasia understood what Julius was planning, and said, "Do you mean to drag down the camp of Crusch and his team by telling the Sword Demon about the White Whale?"

Julius nodded secretly when he saw Anastasia speak out what he was thinking. If the brother-control factor is excluded, Anastasia's IQ is obviously still online.

"That's right. Crusch values ​​Mr. Wilhelm the Sword Demon very much. If the Sword Demon wants to seek revenge on the White Whale, Crusch should help him.

And as one of the three great magical beasts, the White Whale has been endangering the caravans traveling to the Dragon Kingdom for many years, and the disasters caused have made the merchants miserable.

If the White Whale can be defeated, its reputation and achievements in the kingdom will also increase dramatically.

It not only helps the subordinates to fulfill their wishes, but also increases her advantage as the King's Choice. Crusch will not give up such an opportunity. Even if she knows that we are borrowing her strength, she will also agree to this joint crusade."

As long as they join forces with the Crusch camp to crusade against the White Whale, with the power of the Karlsten family, their chances of winning will be much greater.

Perhaps if the crusade against the White Whale is successful, Crusch's reputation, who dominates everything, will rise to the limit, but it will definitely not be a loss for their Anastasia camp.

Because they were originally planning to attack the White Whale, this time they joined forces with Crusch, which not only improved their chances of winning, but also earned some merits and reputation, and achieved the goal of rescuing the members of the Iron Fang and recovering the goods.

From a long-term perspective, the "Mist White Whale" will no longer exist, which is also quite beneficial for their caravan of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce.

Improving the chances of winning, gaining merits and reputation, saving people and recovering goods, plus the safety of the caravan in the future, this wave can be regarded as killing four birds with one stone.

For the advice given by Yurius, even Anastasia had to admire him. He was worthy of being called the "best knight" of the capital who was both civil and military.

Because of the caravan, Anastasia could only temporarily give up the plan to attack Emilia, and instead began to prepare the materials for the attack on the White Whale.

Although most of the goods were intercepted, Anastasia was able to quickly collect a batch of materials for the Iron Fang with her connections and eloquence in the long-term trade in the capital.

Wilkin and the triplets Mimi went to gather the members of the Iron Fang Mercenary Group. Mimi, who was lively, took advantage of the time when her two younger brothers didn't pay attention to her and secretly left in a certain direction.

As for Yurius, he went to Korsten's mansion as an envoy to discuss cooperation with him to defeat the White Whale.

Compared with the Anastasia camp and the Crusch camp, who were ready to do big things and defeat the Mist White Whale, Emilia and her team were developing step by step.

For several days in a row, Wood, Rem and Emilia defeated many monsters and bandits around the kingdom and directly received public commendation from the Knights.

Although the results were limited, it also made many people change their minds about Emilia, and a small number of supporters appeared.

These few supporters were basically the families of those who were harmed by monsters and bandits. Emilia helped them to avenge themselves, and these people also chose to repay their gratitude and support Emilia quite purely.

Ram always acted with Wood and the others on the surface, but in fact, she had already begun to secretly investigate Roswaal.

To be honest, Roswaal had done her a favor, so she shouldn't do anything, but what Wood said before made Ram quite concerned.

For the late stage of super sister control, Ram said that you can touch me, and even if you want my life, I will laugh it off.

But if you want to mess with my sister, I'm sorry, even if you are a god or your biological parents will die!

"Mr. Wood, the magic skills you taught me are really practical. I never thought that ice magic can also deal with various situations by changing the shape.

At the same time, I never thought that magic and magic will produce what you said... physical reaction, and the power of magic can be increased by combining magic."

During this period, when cleaning up monsters and bandits, Wood also took the time to communicate with Emilia about magic skills.

Although it is also a magic world, the magic in the world of "Re:Zero" is obviously different from the magic in this world.

People in this world must have the corresponding magic attributes to use magic of that attribute.

In theory, magic in the world of "Re:Zero - Jobless" can be learned as long as one has a talent for magic, but magic of that attribute can be learned. The only difference is that one is more talented in that attribute of magic.

Generally, magicians will choose the magic attribute they are more proficient in to practice. For example, Rudy is more proficient in water-attributed magic, and the first king-level magic he mastered is also water-based.

Wood is more proficient in fire magic. With the power of the "Heart of God", he can even barely cast a fire magic comparable to "God-level".

However, compared with the magic in "Re:Zero - Jobless", the magic in this world is not without merit.

That is, the magic in this world does not require too long chanting world, and the magic is used faster, but this is almost useless for Wood who has no chanting.

But there is another advantage, that is, the magic in this world can directly obtain mana (magic power) from the atmosphere when the magic power is insufficient.

The magic in the world of Re:Zero - Jobless consumes more of the magic power stored in the body. From this point of view, the magic in this world is superior.

Wood Hexin's body has a magical talent and can use two types of magic: fire and wind.

So Wood took the opportunity to exchange some magic skills with Emilia while fighting against monsters and bandits.

To be more precise, Wood asked more questions from Emilia's kitten Parker.

Although the other party now looks like a mascot that anyone can pet, Wood learned from Rem not long ago that the other party is the beast of the end called permafrost by humans. It is a great elf in charge of fire.

While asking the great elf in charge of fire about fire magic, he asked Ram about wind magic, which naturally made Wood's mastery of local magic advance by leaps and bounds.

In return, Wood also taught Emilia some practical combat skills to make up for her lack of combat experience.

As for Rem, when she saw Wood carefully teaching Emilia, she actually ran over and said she wanted to learn.

But compared to Emilia, who only has power but no fighting skills, Wood thinks that Rem's fighting skills and experience are already very good, and there is no need for further training.

In the end, the upset Rem found Ram, and Ram found Wood with an unhappy face.

He also said that Parker taught Wood the knowledge of fire magic, and Wood taught Emilia magic fighting skills in return.

And he also taught Wood the use of wind magic, so why didn't Wood teach Rem anything!
