Gray date.
The bloody sunshine is bright and abundant.
The breeze blew through the lush grassland on the west side of the "Black River Valley Tower City-State".
The lowered grassland revealed a small but not insignificant number of sheep inside.
The river valley plain of the Black River Valley is very large.
But there are not many "shepherds" who dare to graze in the valley area near the ruins of Larmor Tower.
First of all, the Dark Sun Invasion War half a year ago completely reduced the city-state of Larmore Tower to ruins and was occupied by the Dark Sun Church, the Herders, the Dark Sun Evil Fallen, etc. This is a dangerous area.
Although the patrol guards in the Black River Valley will also conduct routine patrols.
But when those herders arrive with the Dark Sun Evil Fall, those patrolling guards in the Black River Valley will definitely run faster than the shepherds here.
It is said that once the Black River Valley Guards robbed a shepherd's lamb.
Among the onlookers, a fearful and vivid roar, "The Church of the Dark Sun is coming to kill," frightened the courage of the patrol guards in the Black River Valley.
Let them ride the moon-striped horses in a hurry and gallop away.
It made the surrounding shepherds burst into laughter.
Secondly, there were wolves in the grassland on the banks of the Black River Valley near the ruins of Larmore Tower.
Compared to the dark sun and the falling sun, the shepherd hated the wolves even more.
Of course, not all "shepherds" hate wolves.
Under the ashes of the sun, the cool valley breeze blew through the sheep farm trail and brushed against "Irene's" somewhat red cheeks.
Erin, just sixteen years old, benefited from the advantages of being a shepherd.
There is no shortage of meat, and you can even occasionally eat wolf meat of a certain grade.
This makes her body develop much plumper and stronger than girls of the same age.
In the riverbank pasture, some other shepherds would look at Eileen with strange looks from time to time.
It is said that some shepherds who graze all year round use sheep to solve problems.
When a lively, lovely, youthful girl appears, the images that pop up in the minds of those crazy guys are self-evident.
Fortunately, Erin's talent as a shepherd is not low. She became a first-level shepherd a year ago.
She can obtain a lot of source energy from grazing sheep.
Her level has also reached level 14.
It is precisely because of this level, plus a few powerful spells, that the other shepherds have restrained themselves a lot.
However, in the past six months, what really made other shepherds extraordinarily honest was not Irene's level and strength.
Rather, an outside "shepherd".
Arriving at the edge of a river valley forest, Irene couldn't help but stretched out her head and looked inside.
However, this river valley forest is always filled with a light mist.
Even the sun of ashes in the sky cannot shine through.
Erin's grandfather told her.
That's not mist, it's... source energy steam.
Although I don't quite understand what source energy steam is, I can tell from the awe in my grandfather's tone and the fact that other shepherds will avoid this place.
Obviously, that is a powerful method.
"Tanilu, I called you for the Varoji soju you asked for."
Following Irene's voice.
In the gray mist, there was the creaking sound of the wooden door being pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, a figure walked through the gray fog and came out.
What came into view was a young wizard, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a gray hooded wizard robe.
He has neat short hair, fair complexion, and slightly handsome features.
What attracted the most attention was the pair of eyes, which were as deep and quiet as obsidian gems.
Erin, who had just begun to fall in love, couldn't help but look at those eyes twice more.
"Here!"
Irene handed over the small barrel containing the wine.
"Thank you for traveling such a long distance." The young wizard thanked me.
"It's not hard. When my grandfather and I traveled far away in the past, we carried a lot more stuff than we do now."
Irene pursed her lips and smiled.
The young wizard "Tucker" glanced at the girl. The shepherd girl Irene was indeed not weak in strength and had a plump figure.
"If you hadn't allowed me and grandpa to live near you, Sheephead and those river valley inspectors might have caused us a lot of trouble."
The girl Irene, who left in no hurry, told the story intermittently.
"I heard that the new winemaker in the tavern in Riverside Town is from the city-state of Larmore Tower."
"The Varoji shochu brewed has the original taste of Larmore, and many guests said it was good after tasting it."
"Half a year ago, many people who escaped from Larmore entered Saint Rand, and some came to seek a living in the border towns around the Black River Valley."
"Maybe there are people you are familiar with in the border towns of the river valley . Where are the people?"
Wizard Tucker glanced in the direction of the extraordinary city-state of Saint Rand, and then looked at the location of the Black River Valley.
"It is indeed possible." Tucker nodded.
At this moment, shouts came from the distance.
"Irene, I'm dying of thirst, and you haven't come back yet."
"Come on, come on." After hearing the shouting, Irene raised her head and shouted in response to where her grandfather was.
But when he saw the young wizard in front of him, he seemed to feel that doing so was a bit unladylike, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
"I'll come over later. Can you tell me some more about the sheep-changing skills?"
Eileen asked Tucker before leaving.
"No problem, you can come over anytime."
"Then, thank you!"
Erin, carrying a small bucket of wine and a lot of food, hurried away half shyly and half excitedly.
Wait until Erin leaves.
From the shadow behind her, a shadow demon wolf jumped out and disappeared into the grass.
The ranch at the edge of the Black River Valley is not safe, and the existence of the Shadow Wolf can undoubtedly ensure the safety of the girl.
After all, during this time, the girl Irene did not help Tucker less.
Watch Eileen leave.
Tucker then turned around and entered the steam-shrouded cabin behind him.
Six months ago, Tucker, like other escapees, escaped from Larmore.
Other extraordinary beings can enter Saint Rand, enter other extraordinary city-states, and even leave the Dark Curtain Province to go to other places.
However, Tucker has a system anchoring the second floor of the Demon King's Tomb.
Tucker first went all the way south to get closer to St. Rand's position.
But it is a pity that it is still quite far away from the border town of Saint Rand.
The system prompted Tucker to leave the stable development area.
"Demon King's Magical Fragment" passed through this village, but this store was no longer there.
Tucker couldn't bear to give up.
Then, Tucker headed north in a circular arc with Larmore as the center.
Finally, a suitable station was found in the riverside town of the Black River Valley.
Time flies, half a year has passed.
Tucker is steadily growing here.
While steadily promoting the transformation of his own steam wizard ecology, he understands the way of runes and improves his own strength.
At the same time, he is also deepening his study of wizard knowledge and alchemy knowledge system.
Tucker, who knew that Larmore was struggling, took away books on these topics from Aubrey.
Although it is in a border town.
Tucker also learned about the situation of Saint Rand in the past six months through the shepherds here and the town near the river valley, as well as the many changes in the situation of Lamore and others entering Saint Rand.
Larmore, the bridgehead, fell.
The invasion of the dark sun began to penetrate into Saint Rand.
The war did not end with Larmour's death.
It can even be said that Larmore's fall is just the beginning.
Enter the cabin.
Tucker stretched his nose and sniffed.
Immediately, an invisible hand opened the cork.
The familiar aroma of wine hit his face. Tucker poured a small glass, tasted it a little, and couldn't help showing a satisfied expression.
"It's the original taste of Larmore."
"It seems that Larmore is indeed the winemaker."
Although the cabin in the river valley woodland is simple, with the blessing of the iron coupling source wall, even if the leader of the Wolf King comes, it will It may not be able to be opened, but it is easy to keep it out of the rain.
Not far away, an old source-energy steam engine is spraying source-energy steam smoothly and smoothly, maintaining the small steam ecosystem around it.
After Tucker drank the Varoji liquor in his glass, he opened the properties panel.

half a year.
Tucker has long since completed his transformation into a steam wizard.
At the same time, 26% of the C-level steam talent "Steam State" was awakened.
When the awakening steam talent is completed.
When seeing another C-level talent, Tucker acted calmly.
"Vapor state".
It is a common "steam talent".
It allows Tucker to better integrate and master steam. In a steam environment, he can better absorb and digest source energy, and the effect of integrating with nature will be better.
On the surface it's beautifully explained.
However, the help that C-level 26% steam talent can provide is really limited.
But as Tucker gradually invested in talent points.
C-level talents have begun to become truly C-level.
