Chapter 277 Royal Power
Powerful power?
After listening to what Sunaifa said, Gothe couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The first and only thing he could think of was the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" in his spell star sea.
In addition, Gothe really can't think of anything else in him that Sunaifa calls the power that can change everything.
So, the person chosen by the prophecy is actually "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" instead of myself?
No. Wind Spirit Moon Shadow is now my thing, part of me, so choosing Wind Spirit Moon Shadow is equivalent to choosing me.
Gaode thought so.
From a newly promoted first-level mage who had no relatives after the death of his mentor He Xi, he suddenly became the new king of a tribe with a population of over half a million.
The changes were so great and so sudden that Gothe still feels unreal to this day.
Lead Zhen Bing to a glorious resurrection and unify the northern border. The prophecy places high hopes on him. Every goal is a great achievement, beyond what anyone can imagine.
Are you scared? Stressful?
Gaode thought seriously and found that he did not have any negative emotions in these aspects.
Him was chosen by prophecy, chosen by Sunaifa and the Zhenbing tribe.
So if anyone really needs to be under pressure, it should be Sunaifa, not him.
Besides, after coming to this world, Gothe never thought that he would be mediocre.
As a reborn time traveler, and with the golden finger of "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow", if you are still timid and don't have any confidence, then why are you traveling through time? It's better to be burned to death in the library!
Because there is no pressure, Gothe can easily enter the role, and many ideas in his head have already begun to unfold.
In the northern border, with such a powerful force of the Zhenbing Tribe, there are so many things he can do.
At least, when it comes to "planting trees", we can do better and bolder than we thought before.
"I hope you're not dazzled," Gothe picked up [North Wind] again, the blade of the sword shining with blue light, "Do I need to give it back to you?"
Sunaifa shook his head, "[North Wind] is not only a tool used to find the person who predicted the prophecy, but it is also a symbol of the leader of the Zhenbing Tribe." [North Wind] is no longer needed as a symbol, so [North Wind] will be your sword from now on."
"To be honest, I can't grasp its power yet." Gothe released his grip on the hilt of [North Wind].
Hym Visible to the naked eye, a small layer of ice crystals had condensed on the palm of his hand, turning his palm pale from the cold.
With Goode’s current cold resistance, we are not completely immune to the chill of the north wind.
Of course, this is only a matter of time.
With [Adaptive] in place, in as little as a week or two, or as much as a month or two, his cold resistance can evolve to the point where holding the north wind is no different from an ordinary sword.
"To be honest, me too." Sunaifa showed a rare smile and opened his white palms to Gothe.
Suddenly, there was also a very thin layer of frost condensing on the palm of her hand.
"Won't it hurt?" Gothe asked in shock.
He naturally knew that this was caused by the coldness of Zhen Bing washing over his body.
In Gothe's impression, Sunaifa's [Blizzard] never leaves his body.
But he took it for granted that Sunaifa's ice bloodline could completely ignore the extreme cold emanating from the [Blizzard], but it turned out that this was not the case.
The extreme cold of [Blizzard] can still cause harm to Sunaifa.
It is like the "North Wind" to him.
He has [Adaptive]. As long as he continues to bear the pain caused by the extreme cold of Zhenbing, sooner or later he will evolve to ignore the pain of extreme cold.
But Sunaifa does not have his expertise.
This means that the price of carrying [Blizzard] all day long is that she has to bear the pain from extreme cold all the time.
What kind of willpower and thick nerves does this require?
To exaggerate, Gothe even doubted that only a masochist could withstand such torture.
“It was indeed a little difficult at first, but this is a symbol of leadership. I need it to make my tribe recognize me, so I have to carry it.” Sunaifah explained calmly.
"Later, I no longer need to rely on [Blizzard] to make my tribe recognize me, but I am already familiar with this feeling. Although the cold still hurts, this pain can make me focus, get rid of distracting thoughts, and stay awake."
Gothe took a deep breath, and for the first time he felt admiration for the woman in front of him who was also young but already in the position of war mother.
Suffering huge responsibilities and pains, but also being self-denial, loyal to his ideals and responsible for his people, there is no doubt that Sunaifa is a true leader.
“Come with me, since we saw you coming to the north in the iceborn ritual spell, we have made all preparations for your arrival.” Sunaifa added.
Gothe has no doubt that he has him and follows in the footsteps of Sunaifa.
While walking, Sunaifa introduced the specific situation of the Zhenbing Tribe and Phoenix to Gaode.
The total population of the Zhenbing Tribe is approximately 550,000, but the total population of Phoenix is nearly 700,000.
The hundreds of thousands more are foreigners.
After all, Phoenix is the largest and only city in the North, with the most convenient trade and the best environment. Many foreigners come here to trade or even live here.
If it were not for the inconvenient "transportation" in the north, the number of people in Phoenix would definitely increase again.
The most important reason why the Zhenbing tribe is able to live a nomadic life like other tribes is its unique geographical location.
First of all, it is adjacent to Castela Volcano.
The volcanic land brought by the Castela volcano allowed them to develop agriculture that is rare in the north and may even be the only one.
However, the cultivated area of the volcanic land is also limited, and the output of Jinhui Wheat is far from enough to supply the 550,000 Zhenbing people.
In fact, so far, the output of Golden Wheat is only enough to supply the Iceborn mages of the first level and above.
The main source of food for the Zhenbing Tribe is fishing and hunting.
Phoenix is built on a mountain. At the foot of Weskar Mountain, there is also a large freshwater lake with an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, the Arctic Lake.
Beibing Lake is rich in salmon, squid, bass and other cold-water fish, providing fish meat that meets the nutritional needs of Zhenbing people.
The other thing is the hunting proceeds.
The ice wizards in the Zhenbing Tribe are organized into hunter teams, and they go out hunting for at least half a year to obtain food resources.
Coupled with a small amount of livestock, the combination of the four barely guarantees the balance between supply and demand for food in the Zhenbing tribe.
But it is only barely guaranteed. In fact, the ability to resist risks is extremely poor.
Because there is a problem in any one of the links, it may cause the balance to completely collapse.
This is also the reason why Elder Grant was so nervous after Jin Huimai had a problem.
Golden Radiance Wheat is the food ration for the more than 10,000 ice-born mages of the Zhenbing Tribe.
Food is an absolute top priority for any tribe in the north.
"How much ice marrow is stored in Phoenix?" Gothe asked what he was most concerned about at the moment.
"In fact, it is very limited," Sunaifa said truthfully: "The reason why ice marrow has become the 'currency' of the North is that, apart from its hard-to-obtain value, the most important reason is its practical value."
"For most Ice Mage, ice marrow is the only way to enhance the power of their Iceborn bloodline, and Iceborn bloodline determines the level of the mage."
"It is self-evident that external objects and one's own strength are more important."
"So most ice descendants will accumulate ice marrow after condensing it. When they accumulate to a certain level, they will swallow it to enhance the strength of their bloodline."
"The Zhenbing tribe is the largest tribe in the north. Theoretically, it should have the largest reserve of ice marrow, but you should be able to notice that the ratio of the number of ice wizards to the number of ordinary people in the Zhenbing Tribe is extremely high, far exceeding that of most tribes. "
"Therefore, the Zhenbing Tribe also has the largest number of ice marrows among the northern tribes and consumes the largest amount of ice marrow."
Sunaifa no longer regarded Gaode as an outsider, and told him all the secrets of the Zhenbing tribe without any concealment: "The fourth-order ice marrow we produce every year is about 10 drops, the third-order ice marrow is 400 drops, the second-order ice marrow is 2,000 drops, and the first-order ice marrow is about 25,000 drops. The output alone is actually quite a lot."
"But if an iceborn wants to upgrade his iceborn bloodline, he needs at least 400 drops of ice marrow of one level higher."
"In other words, if you want to upgrade a three-ring iceborn mage to a fourth-level iceborn mage, you need 400 drops of fourth-level ice marrow. The same applies to others." Sunaifa gave an example.
The fourth-level ice marrow can only be condensed by a fourth-ring ice mage. In this case, all the output of all the fourth-ring mage of the Zhenbing tribe for forty years must be supplied to one person, so that a new fourth-ring ice mage can be cultivated.
Moreover, this is obviously impossible.
The output of all the fourth-ring ice-born mages in the entire clan for forty years can only be supplied to one person?
Unless that person is a descendant of Sunaifah.
Under normal circumstances, if a third-ring ice mage wants to collect 400 drops of fourth-level ice marrow and go further, he can only rely on himself to contribute to the tribe, accumulate slowly, and spend time.
With ice marrow so in demand, one can imagine the amount of ice marrow reserves in Phoenix.
But there is no need for Gothe to think too much, Sunaifa has already given the answer, "The output of the fourth-level ice marrow last year has been distributed according to the contribution. Not a drop is left. This year's output can be kept for you if you need it. Without Donald, this year's fourth-level ice marrow output should only be 7 drops."
"There are about 20 drops of the third-level ice marrow left, about 100 drops of the second-level ice marrow, and more of the first-level ice marrow. There should be more than 1,000 drops of ice marrow left in reserve."
This can be said to be pitiful.
Because this is the ice marrow reserve of a tribe.
You must know that just to express his gratitude, Elder Grant took out 15 drops of second-level ice marrow.
This is roughly equivalent to 1.5% of the second-level ice marrow reserves of the Zhenbing Tribe.
However, Sunaifa also explained the specific reasons, and Gaode can still understand it.
Generally speaking, it is caused by demand far exceeding output.
Ice marrow can only be condensed by ice descendants, but every ice descendant needs ice marrow to improve themselves.
And if an ice mage wants to be promoted to the next level, he can only rely on high-level ice mage to condense the ice marrow.
After all, the ice mage can only condense the same level of ice marrow, that is, the first-level ice mage can only condense it. To improve the ice marrow, you need high-level ice marrow.
This means that the reserve of ice marrow will never increase.
And most of the ice marrow is held in the hands of the ice descendants, and they rarely take it out.
Although it is said that ice marrow is the "currency" of the North, it is not a real "currency" after all. It has its limitations - the nature of consumables means that it does not conform to the properties of conventional "currency".
"I need 71 drops of second-level ice marrow." Gothe thought for a while and said.
71 drops of second-level ice marrow, just enough for him to upgrade the second-level Mandela Magic Eye to the third level.
As for the third-level Mandela Magic Eye to be upgraded to the fourth level, if nothing else happens, it will require 72 drops of third-level ice marrow.
This has exceeded the current level 3 ice marrow reserves of the Zhenbing Tribe, so he is not going to drain them all, and will only take the level 2 ice marrow for the time being.
"No problem, I'll have someone deliver it to you later." Sunaifa responded without hesitation, without even asking about Gaode's purpose and use.
"Does the tribe have a reserve of spell formulas?" Gothe asked again.
"There are some, but they are basically from you foreigners. You know, we ice mages are not like your foreign mages. We need to build our own spell models to master spells. Our spells come from the awakening of the blood in the body, so we are somewhat stretched in terms of spell recipe reserves."
This is the expected answer.
"However, the Snowfield Guardian has a very large reserve of spell recipes." Sunaifa suddenly mentioned it again.
Gothe nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Then please give me a copy of all the existing spell formulas in the tribe."
"No problem." Sunaifa naturally agreed again.
At least so far, Gothe feels that the king of the Zhenbing Tribe has done quite a good job.
As a leader, the most important rights are two: financial power and military power.
And now he has tried both of these rights, and all requests are implemented unconditionally.
This feels good.
When could he ever be so generous?
Gaode was filled with emotions.
This is the benefit of having a power.
In the prison of St. Sean City, Gothe had already figured out the importance of having a force that supported him or belonged to him.
But he never expected that in less than three months, he would really have a power of his own, and it would be so powerful.
When he thought of this, he gradually began to feel a sense of identity in his heart for the identity of the king of the Zhenbing tribe.
While he was talking, Sunaifa had already brought Gaode to a building made of black flowers and stones.
It corresponds exactly to Sunaifana's residence which is made of white flowers and stones.
The black stone building is also distinguished from the gray stone buildings in Phoenix, and it is also not far from the core spiritual land where the Ice Jade Sycamore is located.
"From now on, this place will be yours," Sunaifah opened the door and walked in with Gothe. At the same time, he explained to Gothe: "Because we were short on time, we didn't build it too big."
As soon as we entered the door, the strong magic power hit us.
Although the concentration is not as high as the fifth-level spiritual land where Bingyu Wutong is located, it still has a fourth-level level.
Level 4 spiritual land, that is, the magic power concentration is greater than 4500.
In Sires Academy, the rental fee for just a third-level training room with a magic concentration of 1,000 is as high as 10 gold/two hours, and it is not open to students.
One day, he, a first-level mage, will be able to own a residence equivalent to a fourth-level training room.
In the Principality of Xi'en, even the prince will not receive this kind of treatment.
Gaode sighed again.
And this is just one of the benefits of the new king of the Zhenbing tribe.
"Someone will come over to measure you later," Sunaifa added: "Then, the clan will prepare a new set of clothing for you."
Given Gaode's current status, since he has been supported as the new king of the Zhenbing tribe, it is natural to prepare a set of clothes for him that suits his status, and it is also a manifestation of status and authority.
