Balliard left Marrow Seal City. Although there was a rare treasure conference the day after tomorrow, he was completely uninterested. In this world line, even extraordinary beings did not exist. What kind of rare treasures could there be? At most, they were

Some panacea that can improve the strength of top-notch experts. Does he want this thing to be useful?

There is not even a true extraordinary creature to be found. Any panacea is just a common thing, that is, some old medicinal materials. If Balliard wants to improve the quality of his army, let alone directly consume talismans.

Wen Nengli can use the melting and casting system to get the relevant elixirs, and he can also find someone to buy them.

He is no longer a young man. Since he learned about the shady story of the casting system not long ago, he has decided that he will no longer use the casting system to create items with extraordinary attributes other than artifacts. It is true that one rune coin can be exchanged for a lot.

gold and food, but a long sword requires 350 rune coins, and the long sword itself only has "+10" attack power, and the enchantment effect brought by one rune coin is "+1". Although

There will definitely be losses in making these weapons, but if you let the forging masters help forge them, the price may be only one-tenth.

Pills and the like are even more deceptive, so let’s not mention them.

But Ryze and Heimerdinger definitely have a lot of prescriptions. Even if they can't get those things from these two guys, don't they still have Pantheon? Buy some Dragon Bone Bread from Pantheon, and then

It is enough to increase the strength of his army by one level.

As for the treasures at the Fair, swords and armor, what does he want? Gold and other metals can fill a room with just a few rune coins, and swords and armor are like long swords with "+10" attributes.

, in this world line, it is definitely a magic weapon that can cut iron like mud. Moreover, he can also go to group purchases. For 35 rune coins a handful, Balliard can buy tens of thousands of them without feeling distressed at all.

At that time, the normal armies under his command were not able to deal with the military souls like chopping melons and vegetables, and other legions were not enemies of one unit.

Afterwards, Balliard moved forward along the tributary of the Kohar River. He could not forget that the city that needed to be conquered for the rise of the City of the Sun was Wekaola. Although there are mountain roads connecting the Seal City and Zerima,

, but the mountain road is winding, and there is a sea in the south. If some humid air blows in, it can cause a heavy rain. Then the muddy mountain road will be difficult to walk. You may also encounter disasters such as mudslides and landslides, which will bring disasters.

If that road serves as the lifeline connecting Seal City and City of the Sun, there will probably be a lot of losses every year.

It's different when we take down Vikoula. Although the hinterland of Shurima is basically desert, most of these deserts are plains and the terrain is very flat. Even if there is only a bamboo raft, ordinary people can use it to swim upstream.

Although the speed is not fast, it is very stable and the transportation volume is also huge. This is the lifeline suitable for the emerging country.

There was an eagle cry, and Balliard looked up at the sky, only to see a black shadow gradually getting bigger in the sky.

"Bobbitt, why are you here?"

Balliard still remembers this guy, a shapechanger, a shapechanger who transformed into a dragon and bird. This guy lived for at least ten thousand years. Otherwise, why would he "change" into a dragon and bird? No.

Are only those shapechangers who remained in Runeterra when that thing Ryze changed the rules of heaven and earth allowed to change shape?

Most of the normal changers will not stay. It is said that the changers who stay in Runeterra are basically the unlucky ones who were born not long after the great change in the world. They can only rely on their own talents, and they still have concentration in the world.

During that period of time in Runeterra, I allowed myself to change shape.

Babbitt is lucky because he transformed into a dragon bird. Changelings like them without parental guidance have lived with wild beasts since they were young. Basically, they will transform into whatever kind of wild beast they are adopted by.

The species may be a non-aggressive creature like a rabbit, a creature that can be accidentally trampled to death like a spider, or a toad that everyone shouts to beat.

Balliard didn't know what kind of beast Babbitt adopted, but how could Babbitt be unlucky if he could awaken their innate ability as a shapechanger and transform himself into a new body? Even if he transformed into a dragon bird, he wouldn't be lucky.

Due to the reduced concentration of rune energy, his body size has shrunk and his quality in all aspects has declined. However, compared to other shapechangers, his advantages are not insignificant.

On the one hand, Babbitt is the overlord of the sky. No matter what kind of hawk he is, he cannot compare with a dragon bird like Babbitt. He is born at the top of the food chain. If he is willing, he can catch a few people to eat from time to time.

Humans can't do anything to him. Changelings are not real beasts. If they catch people and eat them, they will wait for the assembled army or hunters to kill them in their original place. They may occupy nests of other eagles at worst.

, and there is no need to stay in one place.

On the other hand, if Babbitt doesn't want to hunt by himself and falls into the house of a certain prince, he can get the prince's care. A roc descending from the sky is a sign of auspiciousness. Even if the princes don't believe in the so-called auspiciousness, they will

If saying this could gather people's hearts, they would not stop raising Babbitt.

"Your Majesty, there has been no news from you for a while. Miss Sivir asked me to come out to find you."

Babbitt landed on Valliard's arm. With his size, he could not stand on Valliard's shoulders.

"Sivir? What is this girl worried about?"

Balia

De was speechless. Needless to say, Sivir was doubting Anne's identity. Balliard and Anne could communicate with each other through ID cards. In other words, Anne knew what Balliard had done and what he wanted to do now, and

, most likely also told the victims of Balliard's plan. There were so many people who knew about it, so it was impossible for Sivir not to know about it.

But Sivir still sent people to look for him, making it clear that he didn't trust Anne, but that's right, Isaac is now in charge of the City of the Sun, but Isaac is the victim, Anne is the guardian, and Tibbers

They also had to control the engineering robot to transform the environment, so the two people had to communicate with each other.

However, in the eyes of others, Anne is Balliard's "secretary" without any actual official position. Only when Balliard is in the palace, Anne has the right to do these things. When Balliard is not around, Anne is

It was too much. Sivir was probably worried that Anne would be colluding with the court ministers to make him an emperor.

"His Majesty?"

Babbitt is a shapechanger, a figure in this world line. No one with the same name has ever become a guardian. Therefore, Anne and the victims will hide a lot of information from him. Naturally, they do not know the relationship between Balliard and

Anne's communication, and Babbitt also exchanged information between the City of the Sun and various changeling settlements on the Shurima continent. He rarely entered the palace, and had no chance to come into contact with government affairs. Naturally, he didn't know Sivir.

We have learned about Valliard's purpose from Anne's mouth.

"It's okay. Just go back and tell Sivir and Zhang Mingxuan and ask them to listen to Annie's words. Annie and I have a special way of contacting each other. Even if we are thousands of miles apart, she and I can communicate with each other without any restrictions."

Balliard originally did not want to expose this information, but considering that in the future, even if the Jin Kingdom has settled down, he may still need to lead the army in person. Now that the victims have gained power, officials from various departments are basically

Those people allowed Anne to give instructions on his behalf for a long time and handle some matters that were difficult for members of the political chamber to reach conclusions. If this method is implemented in the future, the resistance will not be too great.

However, Babbitt did not leave, still standing on Balliard's arm, with a hesitant look in his eyes.

"What? Is there anything else?"

Balliard was a little confused. Could it be that Sivir had plans to attack Anne? Did he want Babbitt to take him back? If that were the case, Sivir would be too stupid. The Jin Kingdom is now in ruins.

Xing, and besides, he and Anne were brothers and sisters in name. How could he ask his brother to take care of his five or six-year-old sister?

"...Well, Your Majesty, are you going to Weikaola?"

Babbitt had previously looked at the direction of Balliard's progress in the air and guessed that Balliard might be going to Vicoula. However, he had previously thought that Balliard would go back to the City of the Sun with him, so he had no worries.

But now, Valliard will not return to the City of the Sun.

"Is there a problem? Tell me. I see you are a little nervous. Does it have anything to do with your ethnic group?"

Balliard doesn't mind what the changers did in the past. What's wrong is this world. It's this world that prevents the changers from integrating into human life and makes them prey for human hunting. They will hate humans because of this.

Liad couldn't care less. If you want to kill people, why don't they allow them to feel dissatisfied and take revenge? There is no such truth in this world.

He preconceived the idea that there might be a group of changers near Wikaura, and that this group of changers was attacking Wikaula and eating people. Of course, the changers could rely on their own sharp weapons.

If you have sharp teeth and claws and don't move your mouth, wouldn't it mean that you'd cut off an arm? Life is not easy, and the means of survival must be restricted? Are you waiting to be exterminated?

"It does have something to do with us shapechangers. I'm telling you, and I hope your majesty won't be angry."

Babbitt hesitated a little while speaking, still testing Balliard's attitude. However, even if Balliard is dissatisfied, can he not say it out? What he wants to say, Balliard only needs to go

You can find out if you know Vicoula, and tell Valliard now, and you can get a confession and be lenient.

"Say it."

Balliard was a little impatient. If he wanted to talk or not, he would go over and take a look and he would know the situation.

"...and here's the thing,"

Babbitt, urged by Valliard, made up his mind,

"The changeling family is not just wild beasts. There is a family of changers in Vicoula. This family never intermarry with foreign races and settled in Vicoula like humans. At the beginning, all the changelings in human form

All of them came to Waikoura, but the locals in Waikaola were not so welcoming to this group of shapechangers. In order to allow the tribe to settle in Waikaula, we did one thing."

"What's the matter?"

If Balliard were a native of Vicoula, he would not have allowed such a family to settle in the city in the first place. There were shapechangers from all over the world, speaking various dialects, and wearing all kinds of fancy clothes. If this was the case,

If it is a group of adventurers, the locals will definitely not reject it, because adventurers come from all over the world.

But they claim to be a family... Oh my god, few people in a family have the same accent, and few people wear similar clothes. The people in this family are probably crazy. No other city

Maybe take in a crazy family to avoid weird problems in the city.

"...create gods."

Babbitt uttered two words, which surprised Balliard, but Balliard quickly understood what Babbitt meant.

"Creating gods? Fooling the people, right? I didn't expect you guys to have such a brain. Please tell me in detail."

The shapechangers definitely can't create a real god, but the people of this era don't have much knowledge, so it's not a troublesome thing to create a false god to fool the people.

"At that time, we let the crocodile-shaped people living in the Kohar Lijiang attack the humans in the city. At that time, Wekaura was not where it is today. It was said to be a city, but in fact it didn't even have wooden walls. There were a large group of crocodiles.

, can easily eat everyone in that city. Our ethnic group took a fancy to the weak strength of that city and planned to settle there.

When the crocodile attacked, our people went to stop it and staged a drama of communication with the crocodile god, successfully convincing the Weikauran people that our ethnic group was a family of priests. Even today, crocodile worship is still prevalent in Weikaulan.

To worship the Crocodile God, a pair of boys and girls will be prepared as living sacrifices every three years. You...won't blame us, right?"

Babbitt couldn't see through Balliard more and more. At first he said he came from ancient times, but suddenly he became Emperor Sima Yi of Jin. If he hadn't seen what Emperor Sima Yi looked like 1,800 years ago,

, he might even think that Balliard was deceiving them, but Balliard was not Sima Yi, and he was recognized by the national destiny. He really couldn't think of what other methods Balliard would use.

Previously, they had no problem attacking and cannibalizing humans in the jungle, on the river, and in the desert, because this hatred has been around for a long time. Mortals may have short-lived hatred, but the hatred may not be that deep, but the life-span of the changelings is long, and their hatred is tens of millions.

It will not decline every year. What's more, their long lifespan makes them suffer more oppression from humans, and their hatred will naturally become deeper and deeper.
To be continued...
