"Hey, this really seems to be something left by our family." At the first glance after seeing the tail hoop, Fatina found that the coat of arms on the tail hoop looked very familiar. In heraldry, the heraldry of the same family will have some things in common. Because of this, she judged that this thing had something to do with her.

　　 "Androc—this should indeed belong to our family." After a closer look, Fatina looked at the name and fell into deep thought. "After all, this surname is not many among Rat people, and the design of this coat of arms is completely New World style. In New World, only our family uses this potion bottle and unicorn as a coat of arms and has the surname Androck. That's right. , Can you tell me where I found this?"

"It's the last secret base of a cult organization, in an abandoned coal mine on the east side of the river. This senior ratman should have joined a squad of demon hunters. He died in the battle with that cultist. "Now," Lawrence said, "Do you—know his specific identity?"

　　 "I don't know, squeak—" Fatina smiled bitterly and shook her head. "After all, there are hundreds of people in our family, and more importantly, this person is at least my grandfather's generation, I am not familiar with it at all!"

　　 "Grandpa's grandpa?" Saifei's face was puzzled. "How is it possible? This thing is only now—"

"Squeak, don't forget that I am a rat man." Fatina smiled at this time and stretched out a paw and shook it in front of her. "The natural life span is different from that of your humans, and the ages of all age groups are naturally different from humans. . For example, my grandfather is 40 years old and is already an elderly person. For example, I am 12 years old, but I am an adult. However, as a dragon blood warlock, I will live longer than ordinary humans."

　　 "Well, I don't think we are using child labor." Lawrence and Syphile looked at each other with a clear heart, and at the same time showed a dumbfounded smile. It may be because of the mixed familiarity, and besides the rough orcs, most of the various intelligent races have some taboos to directly ask the lady's age. So Lawrence and the others have never realized that Fatina is different from himself in many ways as a ratman.

It is very common for the many intelligent races in the world to have different perceptions of time and age. For example, certain longevity species will become ancestral friends of certain families, and a great devil may also hate someone because of something. He had been with his heir for hundreds of years, and then when he jumped out to make trouble, he was killed by a brave man.

　　 "Thank you very much for bringing this thing back." Fatina turned the tail hoop in her hand and made it disappear in her hand. Then she solemnly bowed to Lawrence. "I'm going to send it back now, and let the family send a team to take my relative home."

　　Fatina went out after leaving and did not return to the office until the afternoon. According to her, her family successfully confirmed that the owner of the tail hoop was indeed a missing senior in the family, and then sent personnel to negotiate with the Church of Knowledge. If all goes well, her senior will be able to go home tonight.

　　 After working on this matter, Lawrence was in a salty state for the next whole week. Apart from reading a book in the room, he just went to the Demon Hunter Association to buy some potions. Basically dare not practice extraordinary power.

After all, he is now at a critical moment when he will become an official transcendent at any time, so Lawrence is very worried that he will suddenly break through the current situation due to a simple transcendent practice and lose his participation in the Black Iron level competition in the New World Championships. Opportunity.

　　Because of the reason Lawrence sent back the sword before, the Hunter Guild was very friendly to him. After a brief chat, he easily bought some potions that are difficult to buy outside at an internal price, and even sword oil is only the magic potion of the Demon Hunter Guild.

　　Although Lawrence is not very good at using cold weapons, he is not at all incapable of using it because he has learned fighting skills. The sword oil is suitable for all cold weapons except that the sword oil will fall off when the neutron bomb of the hot weapon is launched. Of course, this naturally applies to Lawrence's crowbar.

　　 In addition to buying some potions and consumables, Lawrence also exchanged 600 yuan in the bank for standard gold bars. He was going to wait for a wave of strengthening immediately after entering that astral plane in order to gain more advances.

According to the information that Lawrence has seen in the Church of Knowledge these days, every time someone participates in the competition, someone will always be on the eve of a breakthrough or suppress themselves for a short time without upgrading, and then release the suppression or quickly when they enter the astral plane. upgrade.

For the consideration of how much to gain, under normal circumstances, like Lawrence, there are not many people who want to participate in the lowest level of the Black Iron level. However, as the level of the game rises and the benefits increase, they choose to suppress themselves. There will be more and more.

　　 Of course, this is a real world, not playing a certain game. Therefore, the suppression of levels does not mean that the battle will be won. Especially if this kind of sudden increase in strength can't be mastered perfectly, not only will the combat power not rise compared to before the upgrade, it will also decline instead of rising.

　　 So the only people who choose this path are those who have the opportunity to go to these astral planes but are not strong enough, especially those who have sufficient resources.

　　 In many cases, these spaces have certain restrictions on the level of strength and the resources they carry. And letting go after suppressing one's own strength into the space is the biggest advantage that can be obtained with resources under these various restrictions.

　　 In this kind of anxious waiting, a whole week passed. Finally, the time came to the day when we should start.

　　 When they set off that morning, Syfiel and Fatina sent him to the St. Gutenberg Cathedral together. According to the plan, he will set off from here to the entrance of the astral plane on an island in the Star Sea.

　　New World is just a general term, and it is actually divided into Northland, Middleland and Southland. Among them, the north and south continents are two huge continents, while the middle land between the north and south continents is much smaller, and it is more like a land bridge that looks a little overweight~lightnovelpub.net ~ And the sea of ​​stars refers to the semi-enclosed tropical ocean between the two continents in the east of Midland. Like pearls, the sea is sprinkled with islands of different sizes. Some of them are independent countries, while others are colonies of countries in the old and new continents, aristocratic territories, corporate territories, or overseas provinces.

　　 It is precisely because these islands are distributed in the ocean just like the stars are distributed in the sky, so this place is named the sea of ​​stars.

　　 If you want to go from Eagle Fort to the Sea of ​​Stars, there are not many options. If you go by land, then you need to repeatedly reverse the carriage and train through the White Eagle Federation and the Erython Empire, and then board the latest steamboat at Theodosius Port, the southernmost of the Erython Empire, for five or six days. The sky boat will arrive, and it will take a month or so.

　　 If you don’t want to repeatedly dump vehicles, there are direct ships to the destination at the port of Eagle Fort. But it may take two months.

　　Of course, this is all thanks to the development of technology and the application of steam-powered vehicles. Otherwise, ordinary people have to go there for five or six months. Not to mention that there are various evil creatures and bandits along the way, and the danger is not low.

However, there is another option for a wealthy person like Lawrence, which is to take a steamship that has only become popular in the past ten years. There is such an airship landing site in the southern suburbs of Eagle Fort. Lawrence remembers how much he was in college. Students from a small inland city went there to see novelties.

　　 It was only after he converged with the priests in the church that he realized that his previous thoughts about the journey to the island on the sea of ​​stars were a bit too conservative. The real situation was a lot taller than he thought.
