Chapter 296 The Clues of "Gravel"
——The dwarf tribe of "Gravel"!
When he heard Lockland say this name, Luo Xiu was shocked.
He clearly remembered that Dwarf Mir's commission at the time - [Hidden Mission: The Disappearing Gravel] was to find the whereabouts of the dwarf group named "Gravel"!
That was no ordinary hidden mission.
According to Luo Xiu's memory in his previous life, if he wants to obtain the two "Ancient Dragon Secrets" hidden by Mir, and awaken Quesanks' consciousness in the upcoming "Disaster of Ancient Dragon Quesanks", he must complete the task. A series of quests related to the "Gravel" clan.
Today, there are finally clues to the beginning of this series of tasks!
Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel excited, but he still kept a calm expression on his face, preventing Hubert and Lockland from seeing anything unusual.
Before today, although Luo Xiu had asked the apostles of "Holy Abyss" to search through various channels, they did not get any useful results. Unexpectedly...
No To think that Rockland could bring such heavy news to him!
Although the authenticity of this news is not yet certain, it is indeed the closest clue to the truth at present.
As for the destruction of the "Black Crystal Factory", Luo Xiu had not planned to be too involved, but now he had to intervene...
"Well... maybe it was called ' "Gravel's dwarf tribe." Luo Xiu said calmly: "In this case, it is not too late to destroy this factory."
"Say it, Luo Xiu." Hubert nodded and made a listening expression.
In Hubert's mind, unstable factors like the "Black Crystal Factory" must be dealt with as quickly as possible. But Hubert also needs to fully respect the ideas of Luo Xiu, who is already a "bishop" and an important digger of this information.
Luo Xiu glanced at Lockland. Lockland understood, stood up, and temporarily walked out of the "bishop room".
After Lockland temporarily left the table, Luo Xiu spread the spiritual energy and let the spiritual energy flow around him and Hubert to prevent the sound from spreading.
After that, Luo Xiu whispered to Hubert again:
“Now that we know it, ‘Hidden Elder’ Babelun may return to the factory to supplement his role in the war. The lost golem... then we can wait.”
"When Babelun returns to the factory, we will wipe out the factory and him. Only in this way can we solve more threats once and for all and buy more time for preparation."
Originally Luo Xiu was thinking, It doesn't matter when to destroy the "Black Crystal Factory". After all, in the previous life, I didn't hear of any underground factories outside Songyuan City that caused turmoil. There is not much difference in terms of safety issues whether it is sooner or later.
What he valued was the trapped "Gravel" dwarves inside, but this actually didn't matter to Hubert or Songyuan City. To attract their attention, only by introducing high-ranking combat power like "Hidden Elder" Babelun can it objectively affect their decision-making choices.
After finishing these two sentences, Luo Xiu observed Hubert’s reaction.
Hubert nodded, with an expression of deep thinking on his face.
After a long while, Hubert said:
"You are right, Luo Xiu. When Babelun returns to the factory, it will indeed be possible to expand the results of the battle."
"But, if it is If Babelun and the other two 'hidden elders' are in the factory, plus the various 'natural disasters', 'crazy' golems, and those 'forbidden experimental subjects' in the factory...if the archbishop and the church It is indeed difficult to completely eradicate them without the Sage and Marquis personally taking action.”
“Baberun is at the end of its battle, Lord Hubert,” Luo Xiu responded to Hubert. Worrying, he said:
“He has lost two of his ‘natural disaster’ puppets, and most of the remaining ‘crazy’ puppets are damaged and cannot play much of a role. As long as he returns to Black Kill him before replenishing the crystal factory and replenishing these demons, and he will no longer be a threat.”
"The only thing we need to pay attention to is the whereabouts of Babylon. He is still with 'Executioner' Kross, and it will take some time for them to resolve disputes over their respective interests."
"And There are also internal agents deployed by the 'Bianting' in the Dark Army - it is easy for us to know whether Babelun is still in the Dark Army camp and we can make arrangements for him."
After a pause, Luo Xiu said softly. His most fundamental plan came out:
"It just so happens that I originally agreed with you that after the situation in Red Maple City stabilizes, I will go to Songyuan City to meet with the Archbishop."
"In this case, you can leave it to me to keep an eye on Babron on the way."
"Even if I lose track of Babel, he can't reach Songyuan City before me - I will meet the Archbishop directly and participate in destroying the factory before Babel arrives."
"No matter what the final result is, compared to us hastily organizing people to destroy the factory, the probability of success and the losses suffered will be better. I hope you will consider my proposal."
"..."
"I have to think about it, Luo Xiu." Hubert rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.
For him, this is indeed a valuable proposal.
Since Babelun has the intention to go to the "Black Crystal Factory", it is indeed a more profitable choice to wait for him to arrive and catch them all.
And taking action against either Sombra Factory or Babylon prematurely may cause the other party to be alert - who knows if [intellectual] believers like Babylon have any remote contact with the factory? means. If something goes wrong in the factory in advance and Babel runs away midway, it may lead to greater danger.
This kind of thinking does not take too long. Hubert finally nodded and said:
"Okay, Luo Xiu. I personally agree with your plan."
"In this case, we are not in a hurry to spread the word to the main church. Replying to this message can wait until you leave for Songyuan City. I will stay in the Red Maple City Church and help you handle the affairs of the 'Bishop' temporarily."
"Thank you, Lord Hubert." Luo Xiu nodded in thanks.
What Hubert didn’t know was that Luo Xiu had the final say on when Babylon would go to the "Black Crystal Factory" - he had already asked Ke, who was already the "Apostle of the Holy Abyss" Ross tied up the Barberon, which meant that as long as nothing unexpected happened, the "Sombra Factory" would basically be intact until he actually set off.
Now that Hubert has agreed, Luo Xiu is half relieved about this matter.
Then he called back Lockland who was waiting outside the door.
"You can tell us the specific location of the 'Black Crystal Factory'." Luo Xiu said to him, "The map is in the drawer on the third floor of the wall cabinet on the right. You can get it yourself."< br>
Rockland followed his instructions and took the map with a yellow edge, marking the specific location of the "Black Crystal Factory".
Afterwards, he wanted to get his "heart" back from Luo Xiu, but was rejected -
"Wait until we get to know each other better, Los." Luo Xiu said this, "We You still need to show more sincerity and value. Of course, you can rest assured that as long as you stay in Red Maple City, the church will protect your safety..."
Luo Xiu said this, Rockland. There is nothing more to say. In any case, staying in Red Maple City at least gives him more "freedom" than being in the hands of Barberon, and he also has more room to operate.
After that, Hubert asked "Los Knight" some other questions, then took him away, preparing to take him to the Monument Courtyard.
According to Hubert's previous thoughts - "Los Knights" need to undergo a comprehensive inspection in the Monument Courtyard, and only then will the church consider deeper cooperation with him.
Lockland did not resist this and was quite cooperative. Luo Xiu did not express his position on this. After all, Lockland's "heart" was in his hands, and he knew that he did not dare and could not stir up any trouble.
......
After Hubert left with Lockland, Luo Xiu was the only one left among the bishops.
After he finally finished processing the tail of the previously reviewed files, he walked out of the bishop's room, went to the courtyard of the Holy Office, and extinguished the holy flame in the brazier on the dome. This is the last thing. Luo Xiu then returned to the bishop's seat and his room, seizing the last moment to sleep.
After about three hours of light sleep, the church morning bell rang.
Luo Xiu woke up from his light dream, and the faint sunlight shone through the window, irritating his eyes slightly.
He stood up from the bed, grabbed the large chasuble robe from the waistband, and left the inner courtyard directly and walked out of the church door.
He went straight to his first destination in the morning——
[Authentic Dwarf Blacksmith Shop].
……
Red Maple City, inside Mir’s Forging Manor.
The "ding, ding--" sounds of forged iron have overlapped with a crisp melody. More than a dozen blacksmiths have started working in the manor courtyard. Just after a guard war ended, there was a sudden surge in custom orders for new weapons and armor.
Luo Xiu went straight into the courtyard. The blacksmith who received him last time, Canard Vimas, was not there. Luo Xiu didn't care. He walked directly up the stairs of the villa and came to where Mir should be. in the room.
"Dong, dong" knocked on the door. After hearing some movement from the other side of the door, Luo Xiu pushed the door open and entered.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Mir sitting on a wooden stool, holding a magnifying glass in one hand and glaring at his eyes, while the other hand was holding something that looked like dragon scales, the surface of which shone with bronze. Metallic luster.
When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, Mir raised his head and glanced, then lowered his head again, calmly continuing to focus on the research in front of him.
"I knew it was you, Luo Xiu." After studying, Mir said casually:
"You seem to have been promoted to the 'Fifth Level of Destiny'? Hum, congratulations to you."
"Only you can open this door directly. Even if the two knowledgeable people from the 'Fangbeiyuan' come to me, they always knock on the door politely and politely..."
< br>"The two 'generalists' from Fangbeiyuan came to see you?" Luo Xiu asked casually, walking in at the same time and closing the door, "For what?"
"Well, It should look familiar to you," Mir pointed to the bronze dragon scale in his right hand and said, "That's the scale that fell from the two-headed bronze dragon that you fought with before -"
< br>"Two knowledgeable people from Fangbeiyuan judged that its body was the corpse of an ancient dragon. Although its body had collapsed, some high-value materials were left behind, such as this piece of reverse scale. "
"You can see it, Luo Xiu. This is special 'epic' quality material... But it's not just that. Fangbeiyuan didn't send it to me for forging. They hope that I will assist them in their research and try to decipher the technology left on Babron.”
"It's so profound... It looks like just a piece of dragon scale at first glance, but it has quite complex rune patterns embedded inside. Even if the dragon that was transformed into a demon no longer exists, I can still learn from this piece of dragon scale. I can feel the remaining deep fluctuations on my scales..."
"I really don’t know what method the 'hidden elder' used to 'resurrection' such a terrifying corpse. ’s...Although he is an enemy, his skills do have many merits for reference..."
"..."
When it comes to such topics, Mir is always easy to Chatting endlessly is also a common characteristic of believers in [Intellect].
Luo Xiu waited patiently for Mir to finish what he said. It was not until he said he was tired and wanted to drink water that he remembered another thing. While drinking water, he asked Luo Xiu:
"Ahem. So, Luo Xiu. Why are you here this time?"
"I just came to see you." Luo Xiu replied with a smile on his face.
"Come on." Mir sneered, "When did you come here for something important...so, what is it?"
When Mir asked him this urgent question , the smile on Luo Xiu's face gradually faded, and a serious expression appeared instead, and he said:
"There is indeed something important."
"But that's not mine, it's about you."
"Listen carefully, Mir——"
After a pause, Luo Xiu considered his tone, Xiang MiEr solemnly said word by word:
"I got what seems to be clues to the whereabouts of the 'Gravel' tribe."
"..."
With a "pang bang" sound, the bronze dragon scale in Mir's hand fell off, spinning and swaying on the table.
The expression on his face was frozen at the same time, and his eyes showed considerable shock, joy and worry.
After being shocked by the news brought by Luo Xiu for a long time, Mir finally recovered and asked in a daze:
"You said...my ethnic group..."
"You found... suspected clues to the whereabouts of the 'Gravel' tribe?"
"Well, yes." Luo Xiu nodded with a serious look on his face.
“It’s just a suspicion, I’m not sure, so I’ll tell you the situation first.”
While telling Mir this, Luo Xiu was also observing his own panel and observing Has there been any change in [Hidden Task: Disappearing Gravel] in the taskbar?
The reason why he told Mir about this was actually to confirm in a more direct and simple way the authenticity of what Lockland told him about the whereabouts of the dwarves' "gravel" tribe.
Sure enough, while Mir was still shocked by the news, Luo Xiu saw a new change in the content on the panel——
[Hidden Mission: The Disappearing Gravel (Hell Difficulty)]
[Main Mission Objective: Find information on the whereabouts of the dwarf “Gravel” family (completed)]
[…]
The "Main Mission Objective" of this mission has become "Completed"!
It is indeed true...
Staring at the panel, Luo Xiu's eyes couldn't help but look a little deeper.
