Silence Valkyrie

Chapter 417 The Former Marshal

The peak number of people in Dawn Fortress did not exceed a thousand people.

After all, those who enter the Holy Demon Battlefield are basically martial saints, not like warriors whose base number is in tens of thousands.

However, in the past two years since the opening of the Holy Demon Battlefield, many basalt ninth level warriors have successfully broken through the realm through experience on the battlefield, and have advanced to the rank of Martial Saint.Therefore, during this period of time, there were hundreds more people in Fortress Dawn.

According to official statistics, there are currently about 700 martial saints in Fortress of Dawn, and some of them brought their followers and relatives in to practice. Therefore, the number of people in the entire fortress is about 500.

They are basically concentrated in the area on the top of the mountain.

Nan Ruoli led Zhang Shan to turn into a street, and then entered a small shop on the street.

This small shop is quite rudimentary, and there are basically no materials on display, so if you are not familiar with it, you have no idea what this shop is for.

In the store, an old man with a gray beard was sitting and dozing off at a dilapidated counter. There was a bench and a tea table in front of the counter. The top was clean and should be used for customers to rest.

"Old man Shang, here I come again!"

Nan Ruoli yelled at the old man, and then threw a Sumeru ring on the counter, which contained some spoils obtained from killing demons in the sky these days.

The old man Shang who woke up from his doze raised his head, revealing a wrinkled face, gray and lifeless, except for the beard, even the eyebrows were gray.

Old man Shang stood up slowly, looked at Nan Ruoli and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, I thought you were dead."

"It's not so easy to get my aunt's life based on the devil's bastards. Well, you should take a look at the goods first. You should be interested in some of the goods this time."

In the past ten days, their master and apprentice killed a lot of demons. Apart from the magic crystals and materials on their bodies, they also harvested a lot of Sumeru rings, which contained a lot of valuable things.

Old man Shang took out the Sumeru ring, and swept in with his spiritual sense.

"Hey, not bad, the skin of the dragon lizard? This is a good thing for refining inner armor!"

"Well, what are these? A pair of forearm bones from the Old Demons? Judging from the attached claws, they are definitely top-grade, not bad."

Old man Shang used his spiritual sense to look through the contents of the Sumeru ring, while muttering like no one else.

"This is Xie Kui's soul crystal. Judging by its purity, it is the first pure blood of Xie Kui. Why is there no whip from him? That is Xie Kui's most valuable thing!"

Suddenly, he yelled loudly, then raised his head and asked Nan Ruoli.

"I looked disgusted at that kind of thing, I stepped on it and crushed it." Nan Ruoli snorted.

The old man slapped the counter and roared: "You look disgusting and crushed? Don't you know that is Xie Kui's most precious material? Xie Kui is not easy to meet, and you just destroyed it like this Yes, what a bastard!"

Nan Ruoli curled her lips in disgust: "Grandma doesn't like to take that thing, can you take care of it?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhang Shan couldn't help muttering in his heart, "What's the use of Xie Kui's whip? It's not like ordinary people use tiger whip and deer whip to make wine and strengthen yang, right?"

But in front of Nan Ruoli, he was of course embarrassed to ask.

Old man Shang sighed at this moment, he was too lazy to say anything, and continued to count things.

"Do you want points or spirit stones?" Old Shang asked after counting things.

Nan Ruoli thought for a while, and handed over the identity jade badge: "Give me the points instead, and give him half of the points."

As he spoke, he asked Zhang Shan to take out the identity jade badge, and handed it over as well.

Old man Shang also took out his own jade token and transferred his points.

After finishing, the old man looked at Zhang Shan meaningfully, and then said to Nan Ruoli with a playful smile: "Is this your girlfriend? I never heard that you are interested in men?"

Nan Ruoli blushed and scolded angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, old bastard, this is my apprentice."

Old man Shang had an expression of disbelief: "Although the old man's realm has fallen, his old eyes are useless. Three years ago, you didn't have an apprentice. Three years later, you accepted an apprentice with the same realm as you? This kind of nonsense Who will believe it? Why don’t you just find a Taoist companion and hide it?”

Nan Ruoli's expression froze. When she accepted Zhang Shan three years ago, his realm was only at the Spiritual Martial Realm. After three years, he became a Martial Saint. How could others expect such a situation.

"He is really my apprentice, but this kid is a bit of a monster. He broke through from the Spirit Martial Realm to the Vientiane Realm in only three years. Maybe he will surpass me soon. It will be really difficult to handle then."

Nan Ruoli glanced at Zhang Shan and suddenly felt a little headache.

Zhang Shan touched his nose, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

The old man Shang saw that Nan Ruoli didn't look like a fake, and then looked at Zhang Shan with weird eyes: "This old man is really old, and the young people nowadays are so evil..."

"Old man, like my apprentice, there is only one at most in the entire Sky Continent, so you don't have to think that other people are like this." Nan Ruoli said in a good mood.

After saying a few more words, Nan Ruoli bid farewell to the old man and led Zhang Shan away.

Before they walked out of this shop, the old man Shang suddenly sent a voice transmission to Zhang Shan: "Zhang Shan, right? In the future, if you can meet Xie Kui in the Holy Demon Battlefield and kill them, and then bring them to me, I can Exchange it with you for something nice."

Zhang Shan's heart moved, and he also replied with a sense of consciousness: "I want to ask, what is the effect of that Xie Kui's whip?"

The old man chuckled and said: "The whip can be used to refine a kind of medicine, which can give people the special effect of the evil Kuiyang weapon, but it is an extremely sought-after thing, and it is even more valuable to some people."

Zhang Shan was stunned to himself, there was such an effect, could it be that the old man yelled violently at what Master did.

At this time Nan Ruoli had already walked to the door, Zhang Shan didn't have time to ask carefully, and after agreeing to the old man, he followed the master out of the shop.

After leaving old man Shang's shop, Nan Ruoli led Zhang Shan to continue walking.

Only then did Zhang Shan ask about Old Man Shang's background.

Nan Ruoli said in a low voice: "The old man Shang is called Shang Lin, and he was the only casual martial artist on the mainland who entered the Guiyuan Realm. Two years ago, when the Holy Demon Battlefield first opened, Shang Lin was the first to enter the battlefield. Wu Sheng is also the first Marshal of Dawn Fortress."

Zhang Shan was taken aback: "Returning to the Yuan Realm? The first fortress marshal? But now he feels that he is only the lowest level of the Vientiane Realm, and I feel that his vitality is running out."

Nan Ruoli nodded: "You're right. In the offensive and defensive battle of Fortress Dawn two years ago, Shang Lin had a battle with the commander of the Demon Race. Both of them were in Yuanyuan Realm. He finally killed him with a forbidden soul skill." opponent."

After a pause, she then sighed: "However, in this battle, he also suffered irreparable and serious injuries. Since then, his realm has gradually fallen, and now he is under control when he falls into the Vientiane realm, but the source is severely damaged. There is not much life left, and it is estimated that he will not live for a few years."
