Chapter 408: Chapter 353: End of the Dharma Era
"That’s right, I’ll support you!"
Lin Ke laughed loudly.
Previously, Ove had briefly mentioned the Elephantman Tribe Race, saying that their defense was astonishing. In reality, elephants consider two aspects when looking at someone.
The first aspect is body size. Whether fat, robust, or having a large skeleton, as long as they’re big, the bigger they are, the more respect they command.
The second aspect is appetite.
The more an entity can eat, the more attention they garner from elephants.
As for those who can provide food for the Elephantman Tribe Race?
They naturally earn the respect of the elephants.
Of course, even though Groot is simple-minded, he is not foolish.
Normally, if it were just some kid who appeared from nowhere claiming they could support the Elephantman Tribe Race, he wouldn’t believe it.
But now, the speaker was Lin Ke Azen, son-in-law of the Insomnia Emperor of the Gula Kingdom and the Lord of the Great Wilderness City.
Whether he had food or not was uncertain, but the Lava Swamp was Lin Ke’s territory.
There were plentiful and delicious magical beasts there.
Accompanied by earth-shaking footsteps, Groot arrived before Lin Ke.
"Are you the Lava Giant?" Groot asked, swinging his massive elephant trunk, holding an exaggeratedly shaped giant sword, and spitting with excitement: "I used to know a few friends, big ones too, but bigger than you, not as big as me."
The Elephantman Tribe Race judges size like the way people in past lives judged physique, looks, height, etc.
It’s just a first impression; there will be other considerations later.
"I see... How about it, Groot, join us in Great Wilderness City? You’ve left the Holy Life Alliance, they can’t support you there, but I can!"
Lin Ke laughed loudly.
The Holy Life Alliance can’t support the Elephantman Tribe Race?
Really?
Lin Ke didn’t know for sure; he was merely speculating.
If the Holy Life Alliance could support the Elephantman Tribe Race, Groot wouldn’t have been so excited just now.
Besides, according to Lin Ke’s knowledge, the excellent defense of the Elephantman Tribe Race only allows them to be subordinate lives in the Holy Life Alliance.
They have two major shortcomings: one, they can eat a lot, and two, they are simple-minded.
However, these faults seen by the Holy Life Alliance might not necessarily be seen as faults by Lin Ke.
"Alright!" Groot agreed, his big, shining eyes filled with excitement.
"Alright!"
"Now we have food!"
"Oh damn, speaking of food, I’m hungry again!"
"Hungry! Hungry hungry hungry! I want to eat too!"
The elephants behind him, lacking any pride of a level fifteen and above professional, cried out for food like children.
A perfect match.
The Elephantman Tribe Race was always a subordinate race in the Holy Life Alliance; leaving or staying didn’t make much of a difference.
The Holy Life Alliance couldn’t support them properly, so the Elephantman Tribe Race didn’t have much attachment.
Moreover, one of the core principles of Great Wilderness City is inclusivity. Many magical beasts and various non-human, intelligent lives can freely live in the city.
Hence, they wouldn’t be ostracized, hated, or discriminated against.
And when Lin Ke led his army into the city, he discovered that the Elephantman Tribe Race hadn’t oppressed these Faser People much.
The only demand made by the Elephantman Tribe Race is to satisfy their appetite.
Although this led the Faser People to toil, it didn’t entail much other damage, unlike the previous few ratmen races who sometimes enjoyed killing people.
This made Lin Ke’s Faser People quite satisfied.
Lin Ke effortlessly accepted these Elephantman Tribe Race members, making him appear increasingly profound in the eyes of others.
Everyone knew that "Buck" was greatly admired by the Great Wilderness Desolate Lord for many reasons, such as his fortitude, sense of responsibility, and decisiveness.
Therefore, now "Buck" can effortlessly recruit an elephantman tribe comparable to, and even stronger than, deities?
And more than just that.
...
At the end of the second year of the Flame Demon Era.
Flame Demon King Buck announced that he referred to the records of ancient mages, communicated with the gods above, consulted the undead below, and combined the needs of knights, wild mages, and mortal concerns to create something similar to Naseng professionals—
Demon Patterned Knight!
The great pioneer, Faser Enlightener, leader of the Fan Ye Party, the wise trailblazer, Magic Era Terminator, Eulogist of the Twilight of the Gods... Flame Demon King Buck, after arduous efforts, finally acquired the Naseng’s magic pattern method.
Magic Pattern!
This is a precious thing among the Naseng People, aside from the professionals. Some special magic patterns are treasured by major forces, not easily used or displayed.
Even if used and displayed, they eventually transform into the common language of the Naseng Race.
In Faser’s history, the great Buck, at the end of the second year of the Flame Demon Era, announced that he used this magic pattern method, employing a tattoo-like technique, and drew some magic materials onto knights and steeds through a special method to create the Demon Patterned Knight.
Additionally, one of Faser’s characteristics is its law context, enhancing the close connection between knight and steed, uniting them seamlessly.
Achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two!
Though less powerful than the knights of the Naseng Race and with many limitations, such as knights and steeds being mostly bonded, lacking flexibility.
This still constitutes the first step toward becoming a knight.
Upon witnessing the power of the Demon Patterned Knight, Buck summoned again, uniting the wisest people in Faser to create the Demon Patterned Warrior, archer, and others.
Previously enslaved and belittled by mages, people became hot new stars.
Why?
Because even if you lack magic talent, as long as you carry magic patterns, you can still exhibit great power.
With magic patterns enhancing, your body is trained and refined like a magical weapon, and in the future, you might even shatter the legendary magic of level ten with a single punch.
Thus, even without magical talent, if you possess physical talent, you can have a powerful future!
Should you have magic talent, you could choose to become a Demon Patterned Knight or Warrior.
You can engage in close combat, launch magical attacks from afar, and utilize meditation to accelerate cultivation.
This is Demon Patterned Construct!
Thus, the End of the Dharma Era arrived for Faser.
Accompanied by sweeping wars across the Faser Continent, this emerging magic pattern construct directly ushered mages toward doom.
No need for magic talent; as long as you possess physical talent, even a farmer can try magic-muster construct and become a knight or warrior.
Given long training, you might become a powerful level ten Demon Patterned Warrior or Demon Patterned Knight, rivaling or even surpassing level ten Legendary Mages.
When Buck created the Demon Patterned Knight, the Faser heavens trembled, laws manifested, and countless elements shuddered and cheered, while stars appeared one by one, and the gods were alarmed.
Most key of all, the Great Wilderness Desolate Lord was stirred and praised the Flame Demon King as representing "the future and hope of Faser," asserting Buck’s potential to become this "Lord of Faser."
Buck’s name echoed throughout Faser.
