Chapter 79: Historical Secrets
Lu Kuan naturally knew that only a giant city of the size of Rapidwater Harbor had enough foundation to build large churches and train high-level priests, and it was probably impossible to use this trick method in Lava Castle.
"I'm sure that the old blind eye recognized this toxin just now, but for some reason he didn't want to speak, so I wanted to inquire about him." Lu Kuan said.
Lore nodded, caressing the owl's silky white feathers, revealing a look of memory: "Speaking of which, although this fish-man is very old, he hasn't been in Lava Castle for a long time......"
About twenty years ago, tensions between the Northern Empire and the Silver Dragon Republic in the South were tense, war could break out at any time, and Lava Fortress was in a wartime state, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Quinn, the captain of the Lava Keep garrison, was ordered to lead a team to patrol the wide waters of the Banyan Meadow, which was the upper reaches of the Nushui River, one of the largest freshwater rivers in the Northern Empire.
Quinn's mission is to protect the water from being polluted by the enemy and to keep the rear stable during wartime.
"I was under Captain Quinn at the time, and one day while we were on patrol, we stumbled upon an old blind man lying on the edge of the lake, who was already dying,"
It can be seen that Lore was very impressed by the scene at that time, and carefully described it: "I don't trust the fish-people, because they often rob human merchants passing by, but Captain Quinn still ordered the old blind to be rescued. ”
"Why?" Lu Kuan wondered.
You know, the fish-people are known for their fierce and fierce nature, especially those low-level fishmen with low IQs, and their limited capacity of fish has no concept of peaceful coexistence with other races in their heads.
Lore shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that Captain Quinn brought the old blind to the City Lord's Mansion, and the next day he announced that the old blind man had settled in the lava castle, and he has been until now." ”
Lu Kuan habitually rubbed his chin and fell into thought.
Even Lore didn't know, only the few people who were in high positions at the time knew the inside story, and the city lord of Lava Castle definitely didn't have to think about it, so people didn't have time to take care of themselves.
"Captain Quinn should be retired by now, right? Where should I find him? Lu Kuan thought for a while and asked.
Hearing Lu Kuan's question, Luo Er shook his head slightly, with a trace of sadness in his expression: "The captain has already died in that war......"
Lu Kuan was stunned, the person was already hanging?
The clue is broken again...... Lu Kuan really lost his temper now, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
But at this time, Lore seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "I think of a person, although she also knows nothing about the events of the past, but if you just want to find the old blind to help, maybe she can help you." ”
Lu Kuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hope was ignited in his heart again, and he hurriedly said, "Really? Who is it? ”
"Now the deputy commander of the garrison, Miss Lyra,"
Lore said with a smile, "She's Captain Quinn's daughter. ”
……
Lu Kuan walked out of the career hall and looked up, the western sunset was all over the sky, magnificent and majestic, and the day in the game was about to come to an end, but Lu Kuan's task had just begun.
"It's a coincidence that Leila can be related to the mission of Qingshui Village,"
Lu Kuan smiled, and couldn't help but say to himself: "In this way, tomorrow's golden trial must be 'performed' well, so that Miss Leila can be impressed." ”
It was getting late, and there was still more than half an hour before the meeting time agreed with Heaven Eternal Darkness.
Lu Kuan disposed of the contents of the mailbox as usual, deposited the pearls obtained from the underwater treasure in the bank, and at the same time took some combat potions and put them in his backpack, and then found the nearest tavern and rented a spare stove.
Lu Kuan plans to use his cooking skills to make some food with a buff effect.
An endless stream of fresh fish is the best cooking material, Lu Kuan picked some good ones, clicked on the cooking skills, and then only needed to do a few standard gestures stipulated in the game, and waited for dozens of seconds, and a dish was freshly baked.
"The system prompts that you have made a 'charcoal smoked slippery crab', condition: burnt."
"You made 'Grilled crucian carp with cumin', condition: normal."
"Increase your Cooking Skill Mastery to 9"
……
"You made the 'Charcoal Smoked Slippery Crab', and the condition: perfect."
“…… Cooking skill proficiency increased to 21"
Lu Kuan's goal was to charcoal-smoke the slippery crab, and he cooked other things to quickly improve his skills and increase the success rate, so it took twenty minutes to finally make enough of the required amount.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Kuan packed up his things and went straight to the northernmost open space of the City Lord's Mansion.
The moat of the Lava Citadel branched off into a tributary and circled around to form a small island in the middle of the lake, and in the darkness of the night, three glittering portals could be seen side by side on the small islands.
The portals are light green, pale yellow, and dark red in order, and in the center is a swirling magical vortex, from which surging magical light keeps pouring out, rising more than ten meters high.
This is the quest portal of the Lava Keep, green for 5 dungeons, red for 10 dungeons, and red for the largest, representing large dungeons of more than 20 people.
There are three stone bridges connecting the other side of the island, and there are several mages in charge of teleportation standing at the head of the bridge, and all the people around are players, and from time to time someone talks to the NPC mage, and then enters the portal.
When Lu Kuan arrived, the team of Dark Heaven had already assembled on one side.
Ah Kui and the three were also in the team, and at least seven or eight male players were talking around the three girls, and they seemed to be chatting happily, but when they saw Lu Kuan coming, Tsing Yi walked directly out of the "encirclement" of several male players and walked straight to Lu Kuan's side.
"Here we are." Tsing Yi nodded slightly at Lu Kuan, and then didn't say anything, just standing quietly next to Lu Kuan.
Lu Kuan scratched his forehead with a wry smile, and then looked at the strange expressions of several male players in the distance, he really couldn't say it.
These people must think that they have something to do with the big beauty, but in fact, they don't have anything to do with it......
Chatting with Dai Guang yesterday, according to what Dai Guang heard, the school flower of the thirteenth middle school has a slight autism, and basically hasn't talked to boys for three years of high school.
Lu Kuan understood that when she was close to herself, it was not because she had any good impression of herself, but purely because she was a little more familiar with Lu Kuan than with others, so she smiled bitterly and could only endure it.
Ah Kui and Bai Keke also came over later, and Lu Kuan keenly noticed that Bai Coco's boots were replaced with a pair of silver-white new equipment inlaid with black gems, and the equipment was a bit like summer sandals in reality, and Bai Coco's ten lovely white toes could be seen.
