Chapter 16 Overview of a Different World: Monster Crypt [Basic Settings, Don’t Like It If You Don’t Like It]
He could see the changes in Rebecca's expression.
It can be seen that this magic seed is indeed worth a lot of money.
Chen Xuan put on a pair of medical rubber gloves, held it in his hands and looked at it carefully.
It feels cold when you hold it in hand and has a solid feel in your hand.
It looks like a large black pearl.
The light and shadow effects on the surface alone look quite extraordinary.
He stared at the orb and directly activated his [Insight] ability.
Golden subtitles appeared, giving him additional clues.
[The living black iron demon species is one of the main energy sources to maintain the level of travel in the cave passages. It can also provide continuous energy for magic equipment and magic arrays]
…
"Isn't this a magic 'battery' that can charge itself?"
Chen Xuan gently placed it beside the bed.
He looked at Rebecca Miri again without haste.
From her words, Chen Xuan has extracted many key clues.
"Then please introduce yourself."
"Of course, there is also your relationship with this demon seed."
"Don't tell me that you were chased by monsters in the forest with a monster seed just by chance..."
…
The conversation lasted for more than two hours.
Looking at Rebecca who looked tired, Chen Xuan asked her to take a nap first and told her not to leave.
During previous conversations, he had verified the effect of the modified contract many times.
I have long understood that this invisible contract is far more binding than the visible shackles.
Every order he gave to Rebecca was strictly followed.
In addition, the contract prevented her from lying to Chen Xuan.
So Chen Xuan left the rental house with peace of mind and prepared to pack some hot food and come back.
Stop by and shop for some unisex loungewear that will fit Rebecca’s petite sizes.
As for underwear, it doesn’t matter if you don’t wear them for the time being.
He crossed his arms and thought about the information he had learned from Rebecca as he walked.
The conversation touched on many common-sense issues that are relatively new to the Naroa continent.
It naturally aroused Rebecca Miri's suspicion.
But this is not important, after all, she has been brought back to Blue Star.
Coupled with the revised version of the soul contract as security, Chen Xuan is not worried about the possibility of leaks.
But even so, he couldn't let Rebecca go out for the time being.
Because Rebecca has a Western appearance, even if her hair color, plush ears and eye color can be modified with COS makeup, it will easily attract the attention of the melon-eaters and community film police.
She is a proper gangster, and she is not just a small-scale transnational gangster, but a gangster from another world who cannot withstand investigation at all.
Therefore, the only option for now is to keep her in a rental house like a canary in a cage.
As for whether the situation will change in the future, we have to wait until the future.
Now Chen Xuan has a basic understanding of the living conditions of the intelligent races in Naroya continent.
However, due to the influence of Rebecca Miri's personal knowledge and social status, the information he learned was relatively basic.
Through these circumstances, Chen Xuan pieced together a blueprint in his mind of a giant continent full of monsters and bounty warriors.
First of all, the forest he was in after [crossing over] was called the Ea Forest.
Just a few dozen miles to the east there is a border town called Magtan City.
It belongs to the giant city of Atax in the west of the Kingdom of Duroa.
The main political forces Rebecca knew were the five major human kingdoms and the twelve major alien settlements.
In addition, there are dozens of principalities and at least tens of thousands of small and medium-sized clan settlements, too numerous to mention.
The monsters in the wild and the vast geographical restrictions make many Naloa natives never leave the towns where they live throughout their lives.
The furthest place Rebecca Miri herself has ever been was to another small town more than two hundred miles away from Magattan City, and she went there with the Adventure Guild.
Because most of the monster crypts are born in the wilderness.
As a result, villages in the outside world are almost extinct, the population is highly concentrated, and productivity levels are low.
If it were not for the existence of extraordinary powers and strange species in the Naroa continent, the per capita productivity of the indigenous people would be completely comparable to the aristocratic medieval level of the Western Blue Star, or even worse.
Most farms, ranches, and orchards can only be built around towns or outposts.
Even so, many farms were destroyed by monster attacks almost every Naraya day.
It is precisely because of the external pressure factor of the raging monsters that the native intelligent races of the Naroa continent can be relatively united.
Moreover, monster crypt is just a noun, it has many levels and different forms.
For example, tower type, ruin type, dangerous terrain type, maze type and the most common cave type.
The hierarchy is divided according to the degree of hazard from weak to strong:
There are six types: micro, small, medium, large, giant, and super giant.
It is said that there are monster crypts called death knell level and natural disaster level above.
Caves of different levels also have obvious differences in scale, types and strength limits of monsters, and the number of monsters that emerge every Naraya day.
Those caves of giant level and above are specifically targeted by coalition forces formed by major forces.
In some areas, there are multiple burrows connected, forming an army of monsters and occupying a lot of land.
Caves that are larger than giant and larger than small are usually destroyed by local garrison and mercenary groups.
As for the micro and small burrows, they are basically free hunts by loose adventurers from all over the place.
Therefore, there are adventurer guilds and various organizations with different purposes in various places.
Theoretically, the crypt can exist for up to ten years, and will automatically dissipate if it is not destroyed after the expiration.
In addition, directly entering the depths of the crypt, collecting demon seeds, destroying secret stone pillars, and destroying the monster crypt can also be done.
However, whenever the secret stone pillar is attacked, several powerful elite monsters will emerge from the passage according to the level of the cave, which can be regarded as a mechanism to clear the BOSS.
However, this kind of annihilation can only bring temporary peace to a certain area.
Because every time a cave is completely destroyed, new caves will soon appear elsewhere.
Moreover, monsters bring not only killing and destruction, but also various monster materials.
Including the magic cores of all levels and the magic energy escaping from monsters are of great practical value.
If the magic seed is a large battery with its own charging effect, then the magic core is a disposable battery that is inferior in quality and quantity.
Demonic energy can be understood as a form of magical energy.
There are spellcasters in Naroa, but magic is a "luxury".
Spellcasters absorb the magic power from nature through meditation, and the absorption speed is extremely slow. The most important thing is that there are no natural magic-containing minerals in nature.
In this way, the magic core and the crystal stones that have absorbed enough magic energy have become the best magic power reserve items.
In addition, related magic technology, rune forging technology and the maintenance of magic array are all inseparable from these things.
It can be said that the status of the monster's products in the Naroa continent is no less than that of Blue Star's oil and coal mines!
