Chapter 32: On the Road

The aurora is like a curtain, hanging high in the sky of the Northland at night, and the soft light of the gauzy floats among the stars and clouds, as beautiful as a dream. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Whenever the night sky is shrouded in aurora, many beings with excellent magical talents will be born on the earth, according to the research of the masters of the White Tower, this is because of the huge magic power in the high altitude conflicting radiation results, the newborn who is illuminated by a high concentration of magic power, will naturally have a strong elemental affinity.

Because of this, the Aurora is seen as a sign of good fortune by the Northlanders, who celebrate it by inviting their brothers and friends to gather together to enjoy the beautiful scenery outdoors, and then, just like the first human to see it thousands of years ago, let out a cry of satisfaction and amazement.

Thousands of years later, the aurora and the sky have not changed, and every time the magic waves and hovers high in the sky, it will come as promised, but the humans who live on the earth are very different from before.

Starfall 883, November 17, Northland Moldova, northwestern Black Forest border.

The long wind was like a blade, carrying cold snow particles to blow the ridges, and the cedar forests of Mount Modes let out a painful whimper in the wind, as if they were about to be frozen and crushed in the next moment.

At this time, it was the coldest time in Moldova in two hundred years. Because of the inexplicable magic fluctuations that erupted around the Blank Sea, the weather in the entire Northland suddenly fell into complete chaos, even the most experienced meteorologists could not see the direction of the weather three days later, and the cold wind close to minus 50 degrees could not even resist the cold armored deer and giant wild boars, they obediently retracted into their nests, waiting for the end of the cold wave.

Mount Modes, located in the Black Forest on the southeast side of the Great Ajax Mountains, is the terminal branch of the great mountain range, named after the explorer who discovered it, this hill of less than 800 meters was not famous in the past, but now it is famous for the whole of the Northland, and even half of the continent.

Because here, a relic of antiquity was found.

A few months ago, a group of adventurers who had received a mission to explore the Black Forest entered Mount Modes and never came out, but they reappeared just when the Lord's Mansion of Moldova, which had issued the mission, thought that the adventurers had been wiped out by encountering a hidden golden beast.

Having lost most of their team and covered in scarred adventurers, the team struggled to escape from the Black Forest and brought back a piece of news that was not very noticeable at the time: an unusually hidden underground cavern in Mount Modeus, the end of which seemed to lead to a metal gate that was supposed to be a man-made object.

At first, everyone thought it was a vision that the poor people had seen after they went crazy, but the Lord's Mansion took it very seriously, and the lord Verdani even personally ordered several knights at the peak of silver to lead a team to explore the cave, and the truth shocked everyone - what the adventurers said was true! At the end of the cave is indeed an ancient metal building buried in the mountain, and behind the gate is an ancient magic trap that is still in good working condition, if it were not for the caution of the knights who led the team, I am afraid that they would have escaped in a hurry, just like those adventurers.

This is an ancient relic from the previous era!

This news is second only to the ruins of an ancient city discovered by the White Tower Mage of Guantian in the Central Black Forest, but how dangerous is the Central Black Forest? It takes too many resources to explore the ruins of the city, so in just a few days, many mages from other forces have arrived in Moldova with their teams, ready to try and explore the ruins of Mount Modeus.

But unfortunately, a few days later, a cold wave rarely seen in two hundred years swept across the Northland, and although Moldova was not the worst, heavy snowfall and cold winds completely blocked the road to the Black Forest, and many exploration teams had to stay in the main city of Moldova and wait for the wind and snow to stop.

"!"

In the Great Ajax Mountains, in a small cave on the southeastern branch, a brown-haired man in a simple gray robe threw the "Mage Weekly" in his hand to the ground, and he stretched out his hand to point again, and the gray light flashed, and the poor book suddenly turned into dust and dispersed with the wind.

"I should have been the first to discover the ruins! The caves leading to the ruins were all cleaned and dug by me! This group of hateful Northlanders actually found the ruins while I was away, and spread the news! ”

Randall took a few deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart, and several men in black walked out of the depths of the cave, they cautiously glanced at Randall in gray robes, and then whispered, "Lord Priest, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's fine." The gray-robed priest shook his head in a calm tone, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are there still people around the ruins?" ”

The figures in black hooded robes bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, my lord, almost every team of explorers has left a few spies to guard near Mount Modeus, and the Lord's Mansion has even sent half a knight to build a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain. ”

"Sure enough." Since he had already guessed this result, Randall was not angry, he said calmly: "So what is their strength?" ”

Several black-clothed men glanced at each other, and then said in a very small voice: "Lord Priest, those people gathered around the ruins are all mages, elite adventurers and well-known mercenary teams, and the elite of them who have been sent to guard near Mount Modex are ......"

"Straight to the point." The gray-robed priest said impatiently, "I'm mentally prepared. ”

"Yes!" Immediately responding, a man in black took a slight step forward, and he said simply: "At least more than twelve golden powerhouses, Lord Priest, more than half of the golden powerhouses have personally gone over to guard them, and the lords of Moldova, Verdani Scarlett and her fiancΓ© Brandon Kaos, these two golden powerhouses are also in the camp...... I don't think there's a chance anymore. ”

In the end, the man in black probably accidentally confided in his heart, and Randall sighed helplessly, because he thought so himself.

Yes, there's no chance to explore the ruins in a low-key way.

Randall, one of the Seven High Priests of the Plague Order, came to the Northland to unearth the remains of this ancient era hidden in Mount Modeus.

The Order of the Plague was founded about 700 years ago, and at first, this humble order of outcasts, the poor, and the sick was just a group of dying people huddling together to stay warm, spend the last days of their lives, and make up some doctrines and redemptions for psychological comfort, but since a strange mage from nowhere joined, the nature of the entire Order has rapidly deteriorated.

The mysterious mage who later became the high priest of the Order used the incredible magic to cure many members of the Order who had suffered from incurable diseases, and naturally became the leader of the entire Order. With the ability to heal injuries and plagues, in just a few years, the membership of the entire Order has increased to 150,000, which is already an extremely powerful force in the war-torn Mycrof continent at that time.

If things continue to develop like this, the future of the world will definitely not be like this, but at that time, the Church of the Seven Gods, whose power was limited to the Far South, saw that the Healing Order in the western mountains did have the ability to easily cure diseases and plagues, and planned to communicate and cooperate with them to bring salvation to more human beings, but in the middle of it, a paladin discovered the conspiracy of the Healing Order.

This order in the name of healing, in fact, is the spreader of many plagues in the West Mountain, it spreads all kinds of plagues, stirs up panic, and then heals the sick itself, harvesting faith, the frightening thing is that the cured patients also have eccentricities, their consciousness will become less and less conscious, and finally become living corpses who only know how to eat, only by joining the order and getting the special medicine inside, can they maintain their sanity.

The Healing Order instantly turned into a plague cult, and many kingdoms in Xishan who discovered the truth immediately sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, and the royal powerhouse also cooperated with the paladins of the Church of the Seven Gods to raid the Order's headquarters.

The process of the battle does not need to be discussed in detail, all in all, in the end, the Church of the Seven Gods settled in the western mountains, and the Plague Order was wiped out, and the remaining survivors also lost most of their inheritance, they only used the magic spells unique to the Plague Order back then, but they did not know where their power came from, only a little bit of information in the ancient books could know that their power may come from a great existence outside some world.

Today, most of the leaders of the older generation of the Plague Order are behind the scenes, plotting various schemes, and an ambitious new generation has come to the fore, eager to restore the Order to its former glory, so they have set their sights on the many relics in the ancient books, and Randall is one of them.

But now, the ruins have been found, but there is no way to enter them.

This time, the force sent by the Plague Order to the Northland is the elite of the entire Northwest Branch, and among the seven great priests, except for four who are still spreading dragon disease in the Far South and cooperating with the five-colored dragon clan, the remaining three have all come here. But even so, in the face of more than twelve golden powerhouses, they were still helpless, and it was absolutely impossible to beat so many people.

"Actually...... Priest, there's bad news. ”

The man in black in the lead swallowed, and after he saw Randall nodding, he stammered a little, "The elite team led by Lord Xena has been out of touch for half a week......

"Xena? Didn't she take people to the Far North Ice Field? Hearing this, Randall couldn't help frowning, and he asked a little nervously, "How could you lose contact?" Any details? ”

In the entire Plague Order, it is divided into two distinct generations, the strength of the older generation has fallen into a bottleneck, and now they are either in retreat, or secretly plotting a conspiracy, and the seven gold-level priests of the new generation are all disciples or descendants of the leaders of the older generation of the Order, Randall and Xena are the disciples of the same old priest, and the two have always had a good relationship, and Xena some time ago in order to set off a riot in Moldova, took advantage of the chaos to enter the ruins, so she led the team to the dragon's lair in the Arctic Ice Sheet to find if there was any residual plague gas that could be used.

Hearing of his friend's disappearance, the Grey-robed priest began to feel that something was not quite right.

The man in black who reported the news was silent for a while, and then said in an unusually cautious tone, little by little: "According to the news of our spies in Moldavia...... On the day that Mistress Xina finally contacted us, the Count of Northland happened to be in the Far North Ice Field...... With...... Take his dragon for a walk......"

At this time, Joshua was sitting in a dragon car, watching the ice and snow flying outside the window, and the scenery was flying.

Concealing his identity, the warrior who went on the road alone casually found a caravan that happened to be going to Moldova and joined it as a passenger.

The leader of the caravan, who didn't know what kind of big man he was transporting, didn't mind transporting a mysterious person with his face covered to Moldova after receiving the money, of course, not because he didn't dare to say the reason for refusing as long as he faced that man, but because any caravan did more than this kind of thing, and could transport goods for sale, and didn't mind transporting one more person, as long as it could ensure safety, why not do this kind of extra money?

Joshua also didn't dislike the humble seats in the back of the dragon car, and he enjoyed it. Back then, in the Far South, he had sat on any means of transportation, what alien insects, long-horned dragons, and griffons were common, and the earthly dragon car was comfortable in those strange things.

What's more, he originally experienced the feeling of being an adventurer, and if it was too comfortable, it would not be beautiful.

Joshua went to Moldova this time, half to see if the strong man in the mouth of the gold-level priestess was the acquaintance she once knew, and half to relax. Since the warrior crossed in 831 in Starfall, Joshua has lived more than a legend in the past two years - he has been fighting against all kinds of chaos monsters and five ** dragons from beginning to end, and he has also gone to two different worlds and seen an evil god with his own eyes.

If it was an ordinary person, the value would have been reset to zero and his spirit would have collapsed, although Joshua was mentally tough and didn't care about it, but if he could travel to relieve his mood, he would not refuse.

"Brandon and Verdanie are now near Mount Modeus, waiting for the snow to pass before officially exploring the ruins."

The warrior looked at the pamphlet with magic in his hand that could be directly connected to the lord's mansion, and nodded thoughtfully: "I'll go around the main city of Moldova first, and then visit." ”

This booklet,It's made on the 3rd in order to let Joshua know some information in time.,As long as Miss Artificial Intelligence has a mind.,Magic is transmitted.,All kinds of information will appear on the booklet.,Of course,You can also chat with fighters.,But both of them rarely use this function.。

The speed of the dragon chariot was very fast, and the pace of the earthly dragon could not be stopped even by the wind and snow, and when Joshua followed the caravan comfortably and relived the experience of the adventurers of the past, he had already crossed the boundary line of Moldavia's territory and came to Moldavia.

At this time, the warrior was adjusting the operation route of the Dou Qi in his body and optimizing the transmission structure, even if he was traveling abroad, Qiao Shuya would not forget to practice, in fact, his Dou Qi had a small breakthrough in the recent period.

But outside the dragon cart, there was a sudden chaotic noise, and the dull sound of crashing echoed in the back room, disrupting Joshua's musings.
