Chapter 250 Zhenbing Tribe
Roic and Kathleen set out again with Gothe and changed their route for the second time.
The destination has been from the Snowfield Guardian headquarters at the beginning, to the former site of Snover Camp, and now to the Zhenbing Tribe.
Having changed his mentality and accepted the reality, Gao De gradually began to have some expectations in his heart.
In fact, he was already very interested in the Zhenbing Tribe, the most powerful and ancient tribe in the north.
This is like going to a country, you are always willing to go to their capital to see it, otherwise it feels like you have come in vain.
It's just that Gaode was in a hurry to plant trees before, so naturally he wouldn't waste time on such a thing.
But now the deal is done, and this Zhenbing tribe must go.
In this case, just think of it as a small group trip full of freshness.
Roic provides the mount and is responsible for taking him forward. Why can't he be regarded as a "chartered driver"?
In addition, there are also exotic and different prey as food throughout the journey. How can it not be considered a "local specialty"?
"From here to the Zhenbing Tribe, even if everything goes well, it will take nearly a month." Loic compared the map carefully, and at the same time said something to Gothe smoothly.
The Northern Territory is huge. Even at their speed, the travel time is usually measured in months.
Gaode nodded and made an estimate in his mind. With the current adaptive progress, it seems that he can fully adapt to the forbidden ice needle in his body before arriving at the Zhenbing Tribe?
At the same time, he naturally looked at the map in Roic's hand.
Roic didn't care and let Gothe watch.
The map in his hand comes from the Snowfield Guardian.
As the oldest sect in the north, the map drawn by the Snowfield Guardian is naturally much more detailed and wider than the map of the Snover clan.
The area covered by the map not only almost covers the western region, which accounts for more than 90% of the population in the north, but even the central region, which is rarely inhabited, is partially mapped.
Gaode was reading and trying to remember.
As the mage's level increases and his mental power increases, the mage's memory will also improve accordingly.
So, even if it is such a complicated map, you can still write it down with a little more effort.
After all, memorizing maps is much simpler than memorizing text.
"Just take a look for yourself, don't tell others." After looking at it for a while, Roic rolled up the map, took it back into his arms, and then casually nodded to Gothe.
Maps are extremely secret and precious knowledge for every force in the North. There is no place to buy them if you have money.
Leic's willingness to let Gothe see it is already an extra favor given to him out of guilt. If Gothe wants to copy the map and sell it in exchange for resources, that is absolutely impossible.
Of course Gao De also understood this and nodded in response: "Of course it is."
"It is said that the Zhenbing tribe is the most powerful tribe in the north. Just how powerful is it?" Out of curiosity, Gothe asked one more question.
At that time, the leader of the Shimo tribe of the Duolbian tribe once introduced him to the general situation of the northern border. However, after all, the chief of the Shimo tribe was only the leader of a small tribe and had limited knowledge, so the introduction was only very rough and simple.
As a hunter of the Snowfield Guardian, the oldest sect in the north, Roic's knowledge is naturally unparalleled by the leader of the Shimo clan.
"The Zhenbing tribe has a population of more than half a million, and the number of hunters with ice blood among them is over 10,000." This is not a secret. Since Gothe asked, Luoic was not stingy in answering.
There are no professional soldiers among the northern tribes.
The so-called professional soldiers cannot be called soldiers just because they have combat effectiveness. They must undergo strict training and be equipped with well-equipped equipment.
The northern tribes, who have difficulty even ensuring an adequate supply of food, absolutely cannot afford to support professional soldiers.
Because professional soldiers do not participate in productive labor.
Not only will their daily life not bring a dime of income to the tribe, but on the contrary, it will also consume a lot of resources of the tribe.
In the north, the armed forces in the tribe are usually called hunters. In most cases, they play the role of producers. They will only transform into military roles when fighting is needed.
Tens of thousands of hunters, that is tens of thousands of iceborn mages.
This power is indeed powerful.
"Regardless of overall strength and top combat power, they are also the best in the snow plains. The entire Zhenbing Tribe has more than five known fourth-ring mages."
"Although Sunaifa, the new war mother of the Zhenbing tribe, is only a fourth-level mage, because she holds the Zhenbing magic weapon, Boreas's own weapon [Blizzard], and has awakened the Zhenbing spell, in terms of combat power alone, she is already at the fourth level. She is almost invincible in the ring, and it is even said that she is capable of fighting a fifth-ring mage."
"But no one knows whether it is true or not," Loic paused before explaining: "Because in the north. In this environment, there is no longer a fifth-ring mage, so naturally there is no way to verify the rumors." Gao De was slightly silent when he heard this, and then said sincerely, "That is powerful enough."
Let alone the fifth-ring mage, just the fourth-ring mage is an existence that is out of reach for him.
To be more precise, a second-level mage can crush him to death as easily as an ant.
The world of mages, with its clear hierarchy, is completely different from the novels Gothe read in his previous life.
In novels, it is often a normal thing to cross levels and challenge others.
If you can't overcome the following, you won't dare to claim that you are a genius when you go out. To exaggerate, you may even have opponents from two major levels.
But in the world of mages, it is almost impossible to cross-level challenges.
One is that the difference between high-level spells and low-level spells is too great.
Secondly, each level promotion is accompanied by a transformation, a specialty awakening, and the existence of level promotion and spell casting.
The superposition of the two is enough to widen the gap in combat power between the two groups.
Just like Gaode now, even if he has just been promoted to the first level of mage, if he is faced with a mage apprentice, he will not find any reason to lose.
Although the behemoth is called a tribe, the top combat power of the Zhenbing clan actually exceeds that of the Principality of Xi'en.
Such a comparison shows how powerful the Zhenbing Tribe is.
A "primitive" tribe that has difficulty even surviving is more powerful than a principality. All of this comes from the Ice bloodline, which has been declining for many years.
You can imagine how powerful the North was when the Iceborn bloodline was at its peak.
After dinner, Loic and Kathleen started practicing as usual.
Gothe, who had nothing to do and waited for the two of them to rest and quietly triggered the forbidden ice needle, suddenly remembered that he still had two drops of first-level ice marrow.
He thought for a while and opened Mandora's Magic Eye.
His left eye pupil immediately appeared with a deep blue fluorescent light.
Gothe raised his head, took out the ice marrow, and poured two drops of ice marrow into his Mandora Magic Eye.
The rich ice elemental power quickly merged into his magic eye, nourishing it and growing it.
After a moment, the power of the ice marrow had been absorbed by Mandola's magic eye, and his pupils glowed with a clear luster.
According to Gaode's classification, the current level of Mandola's Magic Eye should be: Level 1 (3/72), which is still far from advanced.
But reality is not a game. It does not mean that there will be no changes at all if you don’t upgrade.
In fact, during the entire upgrade process of the Magic Eye, every point of increase in "experience" will bring a little improvement to Mandola's Magic Eye.
For example, Gothe now uses Mandora's Magic Eye to look into the distance, and the visual distance has obviously become farther, which is almost equivalent to the focal length changing from 10x to 10.3x.
If it can evolve to the second level, in addition to the increase in sight distance, there should be some essential improvements.
There is still a full 69 drops of first-level ice marrow. Where can I get it?
