Chapter 16 Overview of the Other World: Monster Cave [Basic Settings, Ignore if You Don't Like It]
He saw all the changes in Rebecca's expression.
It can be seen that this magic seed is indeed valuable.
Chen Xuan put on a pair of medical rubber gloves and held it in his hands to examine it carefully.
It feels cold and solid.
It looks like a large black pearl.
The light and shadow effects on the surface alone look quite extraordinary.
He stared at the round bead and directly activated the [Insight] ability.
Golden subtitles appeared, providing him with additional information clues.
[The fresh black iron magic seed is one of the main energy sources to maintain the shuttle level of the cave passage, and 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 on the bedside.
He looked at Rebecca Mirui 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 it was just a coincidence that you were chased by monsters in the forest with the demon seed..."
...
The conversation lasted for more than two hours.
Looking at Rebecca, who was tired, Chen Xuan asked her to take a rest and told her not to leave.
During the previous conversation, he had verified the effect of the modified contract many times.
He had long understood that this invisible contract was far more binding than the tangible shackles.
Every order he gave to Rebecca was strictly implemented.
In addition, the contract made it impossible for her to lie to Chen Xuan.
So Chen Xuan left the rental house with peace of mind and prepared to pack some hot food back.
By the way, buy a few sets of neutral casual clothes suitable for Rebecca's petite size.
As for underwear, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it for the time being.
He crossed his arms and thought about the information he asked from Rebecca while walking.
The conversation involved many common sense questions that were relatively new to the Naroa continent.
Naturally, this aroused Rebecca Mirui's suspicion.
But it was not important, after all, she had been taken back to Blue Star.
In addition, with the revised soul contract as a guarantee, Chen Xuan was not worried about the possibility of leaks.
But even so, he could not let Rebecca go out for the time being.
Because Rebecca had a Western look, even if her hair color, plush ears and eye color could be quibbled with COS makeup, it would easily attract the attention of the onlookers and community police.
She was a complete illegal immigrant, and not just a small transnational illegal immigrant, but an alien illegal immigrant who could not withstand investigation at all.
Therefore, at present, she could only stay in the rental house like a canary.
As for whether the situation would change in the future, we had to wait until later.
Now Chen Xuan has basically understood the living conditions of the intelligent races on the Naroa continent.
However, due to the influence of Rebecca Mirui's personal knowledge and social status, the information he learned was relatively basic.
Through these situations, Chen Xuan pieced together a blueprint of a giant continent full of monsters and bounty heroes in his mind.
First of all, the forest he was in after [crossing the border] was called Eya Forest.
Just a few dozen miles to the east is a border town called Magtan City.
It belongs to the giant city of Atax in the west of the Kingdom of Duroya.
The main political forces that Rebecca knew were the five major human kingdoms and the twelve major settlements of alien races.
In addition, there were dozens of principalities and at least tens of thousands of small and medium-sized clan settlements, which were too numerous to mention.
The monsters roaming in the wild and the vast geographical restrictions made many Naroa natives never leave the town where they lived throughout their lives.
Including Rebecca Mirui herself, the farthest place she had been to was just another small town more than 200 miles away from Magtan City, and she went there with the Adventure Guild.
Because most of the monster caves were born in the wilderness.
So the villages outside were almost extinct, the population was highly concentrated, and the productivity level was low.
If it weren't for the existence of extraordinary powers and strange species on the Naroa continent, the per capita productivity of the indigenous people would be completely comparable to the medieval level of the aristocracy in the west of Blue Star, or even inferior.
Most farms, pastures and orchards can only be built around towns or outposts.
Even so, many farms are destroyed by monster attacks in almost every Naroa day.
It is precisely because of the external pressure factor of monster rampage that the native intelligent races on the Naroa continent can be relatively united.
Moreover, the monster cave is just a noun. It has many levels and different forms.
For example, tower type, ruins type, dangerous area type, maze type and the most common cave type.
The levels are divided from weak to strong according to the degree of harm:
Micro, small, medium, large, giant, and super giant.
It is said that there are also monster caves called death knell level and natural disaster level.
There are also obvious differences in the scale, type and strength limit of monsters and the number of monsters that emerge every Naroa day in caves of different levels.
Those caves of giant size and above are targeted by coalition forces formed by major forces.
In some areas, there are multiple caves connected, forming a demon army that has occupied a lot of land.
Caves below giant size and above small size are usually destroyed by local garrisons and mercenary groups.
As for the micro and small caves, they are basically hunted freely by loose adventurers from all over the place.
Therefore, there are adventurer guilds and organizations of various forms and purposes in various places.
Theoretically, the cave can exist for up to ten years, and it will automatically dissipate if it is not destroyed after the expiration.
In addition, directly killing into the depths of the cave, confiscating the demon seeds, and destroying the secret stone pillars can also destroy the monster cave.
However, whenever the secret stone pillars are attacked, several powerful elite monsters will emerge from the passage according to the level of the cave, which is a mechanism for clearing the BOSS.
However, this kind of extermination can only bring temporary peace to a certain area.
Because every time a cave is completely destroyed, new caves will soon appear in other places.
And the monsters bring not only killing and destruction, but also various monster materials.
Including the magic cores of various levels and the magic energy emitted by monsters, they are all of great practical value.
If the demon seeds are large batteries with built-in charging effects, then the magic cores are disposable batteries that are inferior in quality and quantity.
Magic energy can be understood as a form of magic energy.
There are spellcasters on the Naroa continent, but magic is a "luxury".
Spellcasters absorb magic from nature through meditation, and the absorption speed is extremely slow. The most important thing is that there are no natural magic minerals in nature.
In this way, magic cores and crystals that have absorbed enough magic energy become the best magic reserve items.
In addition, related magic technology, rune forging technology, and the maintenance of magic arrays are inseparable from these things.
It can be said that the status of monster products in the Naroa continent is no less than that of oil and coal mines in Blue Star!
