Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

It turns out that demonic beasts, like humans, have different ideologies, different ideals, and even different sects. Some worship survival, battle, and even death, constantly improving their strength in the struggle between life and death. But some believe differently. Sects like the Woma, Zuma, Red Moon, and Bull Demon rarely participate in interspecies struggles, choosing instead to project themselves onto the Marfa continent, searching for something there. It seems that by hunting humans, they can become stronger.

Visha had revealed that Red Star once had many continents, but a major event occurred long ago, causing a dramatic shift in the landscape. Many of the continents shattered and sank, leaving only three intact continents on the entire planet.

The Shurima continent in the southwest has both vast forests and endless deserts. It is the largest existing continent and is currently mainly controlled by the demon race.

The Freljord in the north is frozen and cold, and most of the orcs live there;

The southeastern continent of Valoran, once the central continent of Red Star, was once a glorious one. However, subsequent events resulted in the devastation of many cities, leaving only a small portion of the continent, making it the smallest of the three. It is currently controlled by the Undead.

Though the demons, orcs, and undead sometimes clash, they put aside their prejudices and formed an alliance of heroes to combat their common enemy, the creatures of the void. The Alliance's headquarters are located in Mount Targon, in the northwest corner of Shurima, the heart of the Red Star. The Demon Sealing Tower and the Soul Tree are within the Alliance's control.

Furthermore, there's a strict hierarchy among demon beasts. The most common demon beasts only have one life. To live longer, they must strive to improve their strength and achieve reincarnation. From reincarnation one to eight, just like humans, they can be resurrected up to eight times.

Once a monster reaches Rank 8 and becomes powerful enough, if it can master its unique skills and gain the recognition of the Soul Tree, it can become a hero. Once it reaches the hero level, it can be resurrected through the Soul Tree or the altar, theoretically achieving immortality. Heroes are also honored as "Your Excellency."

Above heroes are demigods, such as Soraka, Cryptid, and Karthus, who are respectfully addressed as "Your Highness." While Soraka and Cryptid are currently only comparable in strength to heroes, they possess noble bloodlines and rare abilities endowed within their race, making them demigods from birth. Karthus, on the other hand, was born ordinary, but through sheer hard work and the acquisition of powerful skills, he steadily increased his strength and ultimately became a demigod. The so-called king-level monsters are demigod-level monsters like Karthus, possessing immense power.

Above demigods are true gods. The Star-Forging Dragon King Thor, the Death God Kindred, and the War God Sion mentioned by Visha are the strongest of their respective races, revered as "Your Majesty" by the monsters.

Unfortunately, Visha only has a general idea about these heroes, demigods, and true gods, and does not know their specific skills.

A town appeared ahead. In the center was a massive floating city, surrounded by buildings of various shapes and sizes. These included ordinary structures like houses and churches, as well as cemeteries, crypts, cursed temples, sacrificial pits, boneyards, and dark altars, all unique to the undead. The most common structures within were blue, pyramid-like structures called ziggurat towers. Some of these towers even had large, diamond-shaped gems suspended from their atop. These gems looked very similar to the energy gems embedded in human defense towers in Warcraft battlefields.

"Sir, we are here! This psychic tower is your residence, and it has been cleaned inside. It has four bedrooms and two living rooms. I hope you will be satisfied!" Visa stopped in front of a psychic tower.

"Visa, are there any shops in the city? I want to buy something." Xiaobai asked.

"The shopping area is east of the main city. Go forward from here, turn right when you reach the floating city, and go straight for 500 yards before you see it."

"Okay. Thank you, Vishal."

"Your Excellency is too polite! It is my blessing to serve you. I hope you can become a great hero in the future and bring glory to our Skeleton Clan! Your Excellency, I have to go back to the Hall of Requiem to serve. Goodbye!" Visha expressed his heartfelt blessings and left.

Xiaobai and Brook stood silently, watching Visha walk away until he was completely out of sight.

"Xiaobai, you want to be a hero?" Brook asked.

"Yeah. If possible. But it would probably be difficult...Will you help me?"

"Of course! You're my best friend, so of course I want you to become a great hero and be immortal!"

※※※※※※※

Xiaobai followed the path Weisha pointed and walked into a street in the city. There were many shops here, some selling potions, some selling equipment, some selling scrolls, and even some selling books.

Xiaobai and Brook looked at it curiously for a while.

The potions and equipment here are mostly the same as those in Marfa Continent, but there are also some special ones. For example, there is a special health potion that can directly restore 250 million health points, but this potion has a 1-hour cooldown time.

In terms of equipment, in addition to the standard rings, bracelets, necklaces, and weapons, there are also some special equipment, such as Mercury's Boots, which can reduce the enemy's control time by 20%. There is also an item called Demonic Codex, which can reduce the cooldown of skills by 10%. Only one of the same item can be used.

In terms of scrolls, in addition to the basic return scroll, there is also a group healing scroll that instantly restores 150 million health. Similarly, it can only take effect once within 1 hour.

What excited Brook the most was the bookstore: they actually sold books that increased attributes! The Book of Life increased health by 50 points; the Book of Attack increased attack/magic/Taoism by 1 point; and the Book of Defense increased defense and magic defense by 1 point.

"Boss, how much are these books?" Xiaobai asked.

"One hundred gold coins per book. Sir, which one do you want to buy?" asked the monk who was selling books.

"100 gold coins?"

"Yes, 100 Jinserkuri coins."

"Oh~ Do you think this kind of gold coin is okay?" Xiaobai took out a gold coin used in the Marfa continent.

"No, you must have just returned from the Warcraft battlefield. These ordinary gold coins seized from humans are gold coins, but they lack magic power and are worthless. However, I can help you exchange them. For every 1 ordinary gold coins, I can exchange them for 1 Jinserkuri coin."

“Is this the ratio?”

"It has always been like this. You may ask whatever you want, but I would never dare to lie to you."

"Okay then. Please help me exchange 6 million gold coins." Brook happened to have 6 million gold coins on him.

"6 million! I didn't expect you to seize so much... Here are 6 gold Securi coins in total. Please keep them."

"I bought all the books here. Can you help me calculate the total cost?"

"Yes! A total of 190 Books of Life, 60 Books of Attack, and 50 Books of Defense. A total of 3 gold Securi coins."

"Is that all? By the way, boss, where did you get these books that increase attributes?" Xiaobai asked.

"It was obtained from the battlefield. We killed monsters of other races and obtained their soul weapons. Then, according to the properties of the soul weapons, we processed them into books with corresponding attributes." said the boss monk of the temple.

"Oh~ ok."

Brooke understood. Previously, in the Dragon Empire, he had also unearthed some Horcruxes of demon beast leaders, which could increase attributes in the Soul Hall. These attribute books were made from those Horcruxes.
