Chapter 63 [Sword Lake]
Chapter 63 [Sword Lake]
Among the several secret realms given by Ma Liang, Russell saw the secret realm of "Sword Lake" at a glance.
After all, the material [Soul] produced by [Sword Lake] is very suitable as the prototype of Zanpakuto.
In the setting of Bleach, Zanpakutō is made up of the soul of the holder, and its power is released through a dialogue of the mind.
Russell currently holds a bronze-level [Ghost] (Gold) in his hand.
This material with sword and spiritual elements naturally fits perfectly with the story Russell is planning to write.
"Let's choose this [Jian Lake]." Thinking of this, Russell no longer hesitated and told Ma Liang his choice.
Seeing Russell's choice, Ma Liang didn't say much. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I've registered for you. Come to the association tomorrow and someone will take you there."
Secret realms like this one that the association has already controlled are basically welfare secret realms.
Because the tough bones inside have already been cleared out at the beginning.
What's left now are the captive monsters that the association has kept specially to produce materials continuously.
Yes, demons can also reproduce.
This is something the Association discovered a long time ago.
As for whether demons and humans can reproduce
It is still unknown.
In any case, there is no such case in Russell's memory.
Therefore, if a card maker is allowed to enter this kind of welfare secret realm, it is basically a single person entry.
Unlike the secret realms that are still being explored, everyone travels in groups.
Of course, some strong people also like to work alone, and the association still respects personal wishes in this regard.
After hearing Ma Liang's words, Russell nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and left the Ning'an District Association branch.
Early the next morning, Russell got up early, went to the association to get permission to enter the secret realm, and then got on the car to the Sword Lake secret realm.
This was the first time he entered the secret realm alone.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.
But the three bronze cards in his hand still gave him enough confidence.
Even Zoro and Mark 3 cannot be seen by others.
But if you are really in a life-and-death crisis, you should still use it.
You can't let a living person die from holding his urine.
Just as Russell closed his eyes to rest, the car had arrived at the secret realm of Sword Lake.
"Sir, we've arrived." Russell opened his eyes when the driver called him softly.
It's time to get the next material for Yuichiro.
The secret realm of Jianhu first appeared six years ago.
The main output in the secret realm is bronze-level biological materials [Sword Seeker] and item materials [Conscience].
At the beginning, the demons in this secret realm also tried to invade the Blue Star.
But the Ming Dynasty at that time was far from being as short of manpower as it is now, and a small bronze-level person was quickly suppressed.
Since then, [Jianhu] has become the association's back garden, where card makers can do whatever they want.
In front of the entrance to the secret realm, Russell recalled the information provided by the association, took a deep breath, and stepped through the door.
In the blink of an eye, the world has changed.
Russell calmed his mind and began to observe the surrounding environment.
"It's just as the association said." Russell was now in a dark bamboo forest.
As he was looking around, two card makers came to him quickly. These two were naturally the card makers sent by the association to be stationed in [Sword Lake].
For secret realms like this that have been controlled by the association, card makers will naturally be arranged to monitor them in real time to prevent any demons from escaping the control of the association.
It was just like the secret realm of Thousand Foot that Russell entered for the first time.
"You must be Russell." The leader greeted Russell, but had no intention of introducing himself. After all, in the eyes of the two, Russell and they would probably have no interaction in the future.
As for what the association says about how talented Russell is, what does that have to do with them?
Anyway, the card makers who enter this kind of low-level secret realm to guard are basically retired people with no hope for a future.
There is no such thing as elixir in this world that can directly improve the strength of a card maker.
Even if he really tried to curry favor with him, Russell couldn't possibly feed the person directly to the Dou Di like a certain Huo Huo did.
"By the way, I saw in the information that this is your first time entering the Welfare Secret Realm alone. Regardless of whether the association has told you about it or not, I have to reiterate the rules to you."
"We will give you a map later. You can choose any place on the map where demons gather to harvest. But remember, don't kill them all. Leave some seedlings."
"After all, you are not the only one who will enter this secret realm."
Russell was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately realized why the association would make such a rule.
After all, it is for sustainable development.
Otherwise, if any bronze or silver level card maker comes and kills all the monsters here, this secret realm will be ruined.
Russell immediately nodded to indicate that he understood the association's regulations.
Seeing that he had no objection, the leader handed Russell a map.
"This is a map with the information marked on it."
After taking the map, Russell thanked them. Seeing that the two had no intention of continuing the conversation, he left without saying anything more.
Following the instructions on the map, Russell came to a lake.
[Jian Lake] [Jian Lake], there must be a lake, and according to the markings on the map, it is obviously not small, about three thousand square kilometers.
This size would take Russell a while to fly even in the Mark 3.
There are many islands in the lake.
In the beginning, there were many families of demons on all the islands.
But after being cleaned up by the association, there are only a few captive monsters left on a few large islands.
As for why it is called Jianhu
The reason is that the bottom of the lake is covered with densely packed swords of various styles.
There were no demons, but there was a broken sword stuck in the center of the lake that was clearly different from the other swords.
The association tried various methods but failed to pull out the sword.
There were also high-level card makers who came here to observe, but in the end they found nothing and the matter was dropped.
Fortunately, Russell’s target was not the broken sword.
The target material of his trip, [Self-Reflection], was not at the bottom of the lake, but was nurtured by the demon family in the Sword Lake.
At this time, there was a hazy mist on the lake in the early morning, making it difficult to see far away.
Looking at the small boat on the shore, Russell knew that this was the means of transportation prepared by the association for card makers to enter the secret realm, but he didn't need it.
With a vague glance at the surveillance equipment next to him, Russell summoned Pidgeot to soar into the sky.
In mid-air, Russell selected a direction according to the information on the map, and then controlled the Pidgeot to fly quickly towards the destination.
The information on the map is.
Qi family, eleven black iron-level monsters, two bronze-level monsters, [Self-examination] has matured.
