Chapter 487 The truth about Lanlingster’s fall
The strong man with the tea beard felt a thump in his heart when he heard Qin Ru’s words.
The look on his face was filled with fear and confusion, as he was thinking: Who are these guys?
You must know that in the Southern Continent, even calling the Dragon God "Erel" by his name is taboo.
But when this person mentioned the supreme Dragon God just now, there was no sign of respect at all?
At this moment, Teabeard was finally sure that these people in front of him were definitely not from the Holy See!
Is it a "heresy"?
They had been recruited by the Holy See before and participated in several operations to encircle and suppress heretics.
He was not surprised to encounter those evil and cruel pagans preached by the Holy See in the Warcraft Forest.
If it had been before, he would have fought these heretics to the end without hesitation.
But now
The supreme holy aura of the Holy See has been completely shattered since they were silenced in the secret realm.
That's just a bunch of hypocritical guys.
On the contrary, now that he met someone who was not the Holy See, he really saw the hope of survival.
Moreover, Teabeard also showed a hint of bitterness on his face when he heard the other party use the word "buy".
He thought for a moment and then responded: "Okay! I can sell you information and things."
There is no other choice.
Obviously the opponent has the ability to steal, so being able to say this is already the best situation.
“The secret realm seems to be the place where gods fell in battle in ancient times, and there are a lot of chaotic areas left in the ruins.”
“The secret realm seems to be connected to the underworld, and there are a lot of hell and abyss monsters in it. . We have only explored the thirteenth level of the crypt, and we have already encountered many incredible high-level monsters. Those monsters are huge and much stronger than the same-level monsters, and some of them have strange abilities. We suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, I don’t know how deep it is”
"."
After Teabeard recognized the reality, he became less secretive in his speech.
They were told one by one from how they were recruited, where they came from, which route they took, what they discovered, and why they were silenced
.
Ji Xun actually heard the beginning and almost guessed the whole story.
Teabeard and his "Mithril Snake Mercenary Group" are one of the many adventure groups that responded to the call of the Holy Holy See. They came to the World of Warcraft Forest and completed various tasks assigned by the Holy See.
Then I discovered the "Dead Zone" and went to explore it.
But he really didn’t expect it to be so twists and turns later.
That secret realm is actually the place where Emperor Lanlingst fell!
Teabeard continued to tell.
"There are still many spiritual remnants and extradimensional spaces from ancient times in the secret realm. This also allowed us, the first batch of adventurers who went deep into the secret realm, to get a glimpse of the truth of the original battle between gods."
"Back then It seems that a divine war took place. The dragon clan of the southern continent conspired to ambush the Lanlingst Emperor of the Talon Dynasty."
"It was the heyday of Alterac civilization, and the golden dragon god Ma Lodis led the dragon clan. He led the brass dragon, iron dragon, platinum dragon, and bronze dragon. At least five god-level dragons participated in the earth-shattering ambush. It seemed that Lanlingster came to the southern continent just to explore. From the depths of the secret realm, he came out seriously injured for unknown reasons, which also allowed the dragons to find an opportunity to succeed in the sneak attack. However, no one expected that Emperor Lanlingst was too powerful, even though he was seriously injured. Both sides suffered heavy losses."
"Originally, the outcome of the battle was unknown. However, unexpectedly, a three-headed dragon suddenly broke into the battlefield. It attacked the Golden Dragon God Marodis and Lanlingst. Emperor. I don’t know what happens next.”
“But just because we spied on these ancient secrets, it also brought fatal disasters to our group. Only then did we know that the people of the Holy Vatican had We were recruited with no intention of taking these secrets out alive"
"."
When Ji Xun and everyone in the Great Sword Group heard this, although their faces were expressionless, their trembling eyes foreshadowed the unrest in their hearts.
These news are really exciting.
Even Ji Xun was very surprised. It turned out that the truth behind the fall of Emperor Lanlingst was this.
Didn’t he fall into the abyss, but were attacked by dragons from the southern continent?
Although Teabeard doesn't know what will happen next.
But the fact now is that the powerful Alterac collapsed overnight, and the Irel Empire ruled the southern continent for hundreds of thousands of years.
No wonder the Holy See wanted to erase that period of civilized history.
The "Three-Headed Dragon God Airel" indeed played a disgraceful role as a sneak attacker in that battle.
He fully embodies the word "cunning" of the dragon in this story.
As Ji Xun listened, the logical lines of the chronological documents he had seen before were now completely complete.
Before coming, everyone thought that the "Dead Zone" only had a high death rate.
Thinking about a newly developed ruins area, it is normal for the death rate to be high.
However, those in the Holy See did not expect that these recruited mercenaries and adventurers could get out alive.
Teabeard was lucky enough to escape.
He finally said: "We knew that those ancient secrets were of great importance, and we originally wanted to hide them. However, for some reason, the people of the Holy Vatican quickly discovered the anomaly, and then the Holy Dragon Knights began to kill us. They I didn’t want us to take this secret out. The group leader and everyone else died in the encirclement and suppression. The reason why I survived was because our battle happened to attract an eighth-level Warcraft Lord lurking in the secret realm, and it dispersed in an instant. Encirclement. I was lucky enough to escape during the chaos.”
This is the end of the story.
Then they chased and fled in a panic until they met Ji Xun and the others.
“.”
Tea Beard didn’t know how they were exposed, but Ji Xun vaguely guessed it.
He suddenly thought of his teammate "Zhuosha" who was a clone of the Royal Academy.
The people of the Holy See’s control over the secular power of the king is not as loose as it seems.
Tea Beard said, looking at the Great Sword Group again, and said: "I have said what needs to be said. You should know what these messages mean."
Now they can They are said to be on the same front.
After hearing this news, the people of the Holy See will definitely silence themselves.
He thought people would regret forcing him to tell this story.
However, he was surprised.
Everyone present, apart from being surprised when they heard the story, showed no signs of panic about the imminent silence.
Teabeard's eyes twitched, becoming more and more certain that these guys were heretics.
But now it doesn’t matter who they are.
Teabeard just wanted to escape quickly. He took the initiative to take out the package that he had been keeping and said, "I don't know what this 'gem' is, but it must be very precious. This is what several of our mercenary groups have joined forces to surround." It was obtained by killing a seventh-level mutated monster, and the people from the Holy See not only wanted to silence it, but they also seemed to be here for it."
He also knew it very well and told the whole story. With those lines, my greatest value is gone.
I can’t keep my treasure.
It doesn't matter whether it is sold or not. Being alive is the best outcome.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the strong man was surprised again.
"Yeah."
Qin Ru took the cloth bag calmly.
She didn’t even take a second look before throwing out a storage ring in exchange, saying: "The things in the storage ring are not as valuable as the things in your hands. But at the moment I can only give This is the price.”
The storage ring contains the World of Warcraft materials and some insignificant belongings that have been hunted recently.
These things are clean enough and nothing can be found.
"???"
Tea Beard received the storage ring thrown over and was stunned for a moment: Do you really want to buy it?
He only glanced at it and found that the storage ring was filled with various Warcraft materials.
If I really sell it all, I won’t be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes.
After being stunned for a moment, he saw that no one in the Great Sword Group was joking. He was surprised and said quickly: "That's enough! That's enough!"
Not to mention that the other party really kept his promise, which already surprised him.
Even the exchange value is enough.
He is very self-aware. What the other party exchanges is not only these materials, but also the risks.
No matter what that thing is, there is a high probability that I will not be able to keep it.
I am satisfied if I can exchange these things.
After the transaction was completed, everyone in the Great Sword Group stopped surrounding the strong man and made way for him.
When Teabeard saw that he could really leave alive, he felt like he was in a dream.
He said without being verbose: "Everyone, thank you. Farewell!"
Just as he turned around and stepped forward with an uneasy heart, he suddenly heard someone behind him saying "Wait a minute."
Teabeard's heart skipped a beat, thinking something had happened.
However, as soon as he turned his head, he heard the intelligence dealer calmly reminding him: "Don't go to the northwest. Take the east side of the 'Gravel Canyon' to detour. It's safer there."
Teabeard listened with a look on his face. After a moment of complexity: "Okay!"
He glanced at everyone gratefully, turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
When people left, Ji Xun and everyone in the Great Sword Group also looked at each other in shock.
I didn’t expect that I would encounter such a thing while camping casually.
"Hey, it's interesting. It turns out that gods can also do sneak attacks."
"Yes. It turns out that this is how the dragon god Airel came to power. These dragon-born people in the southern continent still think that the dragon is supreme. Hahaha, this is no different from the bloody plot of the noble families fighting for power in the Eastern Wasteland."
"But having said that, Emperor Lanlingst is really powerful, even the five dragon gods joined forces. The ambush ended with both sides being injured. This is indeed the end of the legend of the Chaos Era."
"Hey, why did Emperor Lanlingster go to that dead realm?"< br>
“There is the ultimate secret of the world.”
"Bah, Luo Sen, can you just come here without opening your mouth? Tell the truth."
"If you don't believe me, ask Brother Ji Xun, he will definitely say the same thing."
"Hahaha"
"."
Without the outsiders, everyone in the Great Sword Group also started chatting.
The revolutionary army has been surviving in encirclement and suppression all year round, so when everyone heard the secrets that would make anyone in the southern continent panic, instead of having any worries, they were in fact curious.
But after chatting, everyone also sensed the crisis.
Since the people of the Holy See are chasing that guy again, and now that they are in contact, there will of course be risks involved.
Chen Jian Wuliu reminded: "Chief, I'm afraid we can't stay here any longer. We have to camp somewhere else."
"Yes."
Qin Ru nodded, looking at the cloth bag in his hand, a flash of thought flashed across his expression.
This godhead fragment is different from the ones they got before. This piece involves some other causes and effects. Even if it is hidden, some mysterious methods may be able to trace it.
Of course Ji Xun knew what she was thinking, and said directly: "Give me the stuff. I'll go for a walk."
Qin Rushi looked at it and wanted to say she would go by herself, but saw Looking at Ji Xun's gaze, he had so many things to say in his heart, but he only changed into a few words: "Yes. Be careful."
Ji Xun nodded.
The tacit understanding between the two requires no explanation at all.
He can think more carefully than anyone else, and he can also move in space, which is the best anti-tracking method.
He is also the best person in the team to deal with this problem. With that said, he took the cloth bag, turned around and plunged into the dense forest.
In order to avoid people being suspicious, Ji Xun wanted to follow the teabeard's escape route and continue walking for a while to build this logical line.
He is extremely capable at acting and can even imitate some details of Teabeard's body movements, such as the slightly lame left leg due to injury, and the footprints on the ground that are heavy on the right and light on the left.
In this way, I ran for dozens of kilometers and made a big circle.
Then he jumped into an underground river.
Let Ivan swallow the fragments of the godhead again.
No storage space is as safe as this girl’s belly.
A few spatial teleportations completely eliminate traces of action, and a perfect tracking trace is completed.
Not long after, Ji Xun caught up with Qin Rushi and the others, and the group changed places to camp for the night.
As expected, no pursuers came, and the night was peaceful.
No one noticed this night. With Ji Xun's methods, it would be even more impossible for people from the Holy See to cause trouble for them later.
It’s half a month again.
Ji Xun and everyone in the Great Sword Group continued to hunt high-level monsters in the Magical Beast Forest, going all the way deeper.
The harvest is also very ideal.
As we go deeper, there are more and more high-level monsters. They are strong enough and have successfully hunted a large number of monsters.
Among them are two seventh-level monsters with mythical bloodline, [Dragon Claw Fire Crow] and [Golden Feathered Vulture].
This made everyone in the revolutionary army very excited.
Because this is a precious material that is necessary to advance to the seventh level, it is highly suitable for the advancement needs of "Demolitionist" Lawson and the group's chief assassin "Sick Tiger" Dan Dong.
Taking into account the materials they had hunted before, everyone found that their purpose of coming to South Road this time was almost complete.
The team members were very excited, but Ji Xun and Qin Rushi were not surprised.
Because this is the hunting plan they made before setting off.
There are not many adventure groups that can hunt seventh-level monsters, and usually the lord monsters will not move away.
The information Ji Xun has is the latest.
Coupled with good luck, it was expected that they would succeed in hunting.
However, there are also unexpected situations.
On the way, they once again encountered a hellish creature that almost reduced the number of the team - [Ghost Mantis].
These hellish creatures are born assassins, perfectly able to hide in the air.
And travel in groups.
No one has seen this legendary creature before.
However, the Great Sword Regiment encountered a sneak attack by a group of these praying mantises while camping.
Fortunately, the strength and tacit understanding of everyone in the Great Sword Group are not bad.
Although two people were seriously injured and more than ten people were lightly injured, the group of mantises were successfully eliminated in the end and a bunch of precious hell materials were harvested.
But this also reminded them.
The closer you get to the "Dead Realm", the more and stronger the hell monsters will be that escape from the secret realm.
The more unknown.
If we continue to explore alone like this, there is no guarantee that one day we will encounter a crisis of group destruction.
But they don’t want to miss the great opportunities and secrets in the Dead Zone.
The most important thing is that the previous encounter with the Sun Temple and the subsequent encounter with the deputy leader of the Mithril Snake still left some hidden dangers.
Most people will choose to stay a little more remote.
But Ji Xun didn’t.
He felt that they needed a complex environment with many people to confuse this directionality.
After discussing with Qin Rushi, they all decided to join the large force of the mercenary union.
Ask for information, avoid risks, and look for opportunities.
In a cave half a month away from the Dead Zone, members of the mercenary union have set up a temporary camp.
There is a fairy-tale name called "Firefly Camp".
Because the cave where the camp is located has a large number of spore plants, the wind blows through the forest, and fluorescent spores like fireflies are scattered all over the sky.
Ji Xun and the others had always taken the route planned by themselves before and had not encountered other groups.
Now that we have changed to the mainstream route, we quickly followed the mercenary union's guidance signs and found this camp.
From a distance, everyone saw the crowded camp.
"Hey, we actually built such a big camp, and even repaired the magic tower. Those guys from the mercenary union are really good at doing things."
"It takes a lot of time to develop the dead zone. Short, so many mercenaries need a supply station, so it’s not surprising that there is a camp here.”
“Yes, but those adventurers don’t know that it’s easier to come than to leave.”< br>
"Whatever, I can smell the aroma of wine. Let's go have a drink!"
"."
No one in the Great Sword Group meant to be secretive at all. He walked towards the camp carelessly.
There was a guard at the door. He showed his mercenary badge and entered easily.
In the team, Ji Xun has been quietly observing the surroundings. He glanced at the towering magic tower in the camp, only to find that those stones were also fragments of ancient buildings.
And looking at the carvings on the gravel, they are almost exactly the same style as the previous Sun Temple in Blackwater Swamp.
Qin Rusu next to him glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Xun chuckled and said, "People from the Holy See demolished the temple of the Guangming Sect. Magic Tower."
"Oh."
Qin Ruzhi glanced and knew what he was talking about.
This camp may also have been an ancient temple.
They had previously speculated that the temple was the corner of the sealing formation, which meant that it was a very critical location.
The campground is not large, but there are many people, like a lively town.
The weapons shop with clanging swords, the magic shop with a dazzling array of cards in the window, and the grocery store selling adventurer equipment.
Several large chambers of commerce. The shop has also opened in this camp.
Adventurers can replenish everything they need.
Of course, the most popular one is the Adventurer Tavern.
There is no better pastime than wine to relieve the fatigue and tension of adventurers in the wild.
The mercenary tents were all outside the camp. Ji Xun recognized the flags of at least dozens of mercenary groups, as well as some private soldiers of the nobles.
There are many strong people in the camp.
As soon as the members of the Great Sword Group came in, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi noticed a few scrutinizing glances.
But they showed no abnormality at all.
Completely like an ordinary mercenary group.
Ji Xun looked at the busiest street and suggested: "Let's go, how many drinks?"
Qin Ru said happily: "Okay."
Everyone in the Great Sword Group has been exploring for more than two months and needs some entertainment.
The tavern is also the best place to get information.
Everyone happily dispersed and went to have fun.
Bonnie was not interested in having fun, so she followed Ji Xun and Qin Rushi and wandered on the street.
Looking at an adventurer's tavern with the word "Lucky Tavern" hanging on it, the three of them dived in.
Counting the time, it's still afternoon.
But the tavern was crowded.
Fortunately, the "Intelligence Businessman Sean" played by Ji Xun had many options. With a face card, the three of them managed to get to a small corner of the bar.
The people who can get here are not small mercenary groups. There are many high-level card masters in the tavern.
But bragging after drinking too much is a human nature brought by blood. There is a lot of information in the noisy conversation.
Ji Xun and the other three ordered drinks.
The price of the same wine is about twenty times that of Giant Spirit City.
The three of them drank, chatted, and listened to the adventurers bragging.
Ji Xun's scattered thoughts allowed him to separate the muddy sounds in his ears into clear conversations between dozens of tables of drinkers chatting.
He also listened to some information that interested him.
"Oh, there are more and more hell monsters in the nearby forest now. Lord monsters are everywhere. Small and medium-sized teams like us don't dare to leave the camp casually."
"Yeah, I don't know where to go. There were so many monsters from hell, and they were ridiculously strong. The death beam from the eighth-level [Netherworld Peacock] the day before yesterday caused heavy losses to the Royal Cavalry of the Red Dragon Royal Family. It was a pity that the monster escaped. Yes, it is said that it is a high-purity mythical species."
"The Phoenix, the Hell Flying Dragon, the World-Destroying Thunder Ape, and the Underworld Peacock are the fourth eighth-level monsters I have heard of. It’s so damn weird. You can’t even see the top-level monsters here.”
“I heard they came from the big pit in the south.” Aren’t they all recruiting experts to explore that big hole, and the price is very high, aren’t you, the Giant Shield Group, interested?”
“Someone I knew went there before, but there’s no news yet. I don’t know what’s going on. I guess that line is very risky, so I’ll wait and see for a few days.”
"There are recruitments from the Holy Vatican. I have seen with my own eyes that all the elite Holy Dragon Knights have gone. I think there is no problem."
"."
These conversations played in Ji Xun's mind It turned into tiny pieces of intelligence, and then was spliced together with strands of logical threads, gradually restoring the situation of the Firefly camp in the recent period.
However, most of these are independent groups, or they have just arrived in the camp, and few people know the true situation about the "Dead Zone".
Ji Xun didn’t think he could get any useful information on the first day.
Anyway, there was no rush, so the three of them drank one glass after another.
However, the camp is not big, so you can probably meet anyone you know while walking on the street.
While Ji Xun and the three were drinking, a familiar scene played out again.
A guy with blond hair and blue eyes wearing shining armor suddenly entered the tavern. He recognized Qin Rushi at a glance and walked over: "Hey, isn't this Captain Qin?"
Familiar routines, serious encounters.
The person who came was none other than William, the branch leader of the King's Knights whom he had met at the gate of Djinn City before.
Seeing this guy, Bonnie muttered, "This guy is here again."
However, when Ji Xun saw the person coming, Yu Guang and Qin Ru looked at each other. He glanced at it and whispered: "I'm really being targeted."
