Chapter 0772 - A Herd of Heroes Competing for a Deer
Something went wrong!
Just when all the forces in the Klein plane are focusing their attention on the disputed land of Novis and the Council of the Dead, something happened in the dark region outside the mainstream society, and it was an earth-shattering event!
In the past year or so, the underground world has not been peaceful, and it can even be said that it is the most unpeaceful period in hundreds of years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A powerful treasure "Dragon Heart" obtained from the ruins of the Arcane Empire, the Drow Elves, one of the overlords of the underworld, have been given a powerful foreign aid by the Underground Black Dragon. Large and medium-sized forces such as the Mind Flayer, the Underground Gnomes, and the Kou Tao Fishmen, who are worried about the imbalance in the underworld, have converged with powerful monsters such as the Eye Demon and jointly sent a strong note to Kaizan Moyes City to hand over the Dragon's Heart.
It's a pity that this matter is related to whether Kaizanmoyes City can rise in the underground dark world, so the First Master Mother Valoka refused with an extremely tough attitude, and blocked all contact between Kaizanmoyes City and the outside world.
As a result, these former underground overlords fought around the city of Kaizanmoyes, stirring up the place and causing a miasma. However, just when the underground world was closed dog-eat-dog, two legendary mages from the Mage Guild suddenly broke into the underground, and also wanted to force the Valoka Mother to hand over the dragon's heart as a legendary spellcaster.
At this time, the water in the pond was completely muddy, and no one wanted to easily smooth out each other's camps and positions. Between underground creatures and human mages, between underground overlords, plus some spoilers with ulterior motives who specialize in fishing in troubled waters, the entire battlefield is in chaos.
Today you beat me, tomorrow I hit him, and he will beat you again in the background...... The few sides involved in the war were not good at stubble, and there were no fuel-efficient lamps. Therefore, under the scuffle, each other suffered heavy losses, and the more they fought, the greater the anger, and the deeper the hatred. In the end, several parties showed the greatest ruthlessness, making the middle layer of the dark region that had been quiet for hundreds of years a large tomb full of dead and wounded.
By this time, all parties involved in the war were somewhat overwhelmed. So a joint meeting of quarrels took place outside the city of Kazanmoyes.
In this meeting, not only all parties involved in the war participated, but even the Drow Elves' largest city, Mosoblay, the underground gnomes, and the Mind Flayer Mastermind, sent their own envoys to participate in this "grand event".
But just when all the envoys were arguing at the grand meeting, the dragon's heart, which focused on the g-points of all the forces, was actually lost.
Yes, you heard it right. The legendary treasure Dragon Heart, which was fought by tens of thousands of underground creatures, was lost in Kaizan Moyes City, where 7 black dragons were entrenched and thousands of drow elves were tightly protected!
It was a legendary thief from the surface world who stole the Dragon's Heart, and he managed to escape back to the surface after he succeeded, which can't help but make all the thieves and thieves in the Crane plane call this legendary thief's great deeds by miracles.
It's a pity that the peak of this legendary thief is destined to not last long, because the many red-eyed underground powerhouses who were detonated by the G-spot also followed the traces left by him to the surface, and a vigorous treasure hunt war unfolded in the human world.
The city of Saltton, a small remote city in the southern part of the Eltien States, borders the northern territory of the Kingdom of Karnas. If it weren't for the fact that the entrance and exit of the legendary thieves to and from the underworld was near it, perhaps this group of powerhouses at the top of the Crane plane would not have known about this small city at all.
However, at this moment, this little-known remote town has become the center of attention and center of attention in the world, because the message of the legendary thief is interrupted here.
Perhaps in the unknown mage tower, countless divination, prophecy, and prayer techniques have pointed the finger at this remote town. However, without exception, the Treasure Thief's follow-up information was interfered with by a powerful external force, making it impossible for all spellcasters to get further information from it.
As a result, the major forces on the surface and underground have successively sent powerful warriors to join the ranks of chasing and killing treasure thieves.
Just when the entire Klein plane was turned upside down by this matter, as the head of the cemetery forces, Li Xun behaved quite low-key, and even a little abnormal.
Because just when he was in high spirits and was about to send someone to participate in this feast, bad news came to his ears.
"What? The initiator of this incident turned out to be our cemetery? After listening to the report made by the dragon lich Uzer in a hurry, Li Xun almost collapsed.
It turned out that the source of such a big deal turned out to be a level 12 dragon lich newly born in the cemetery.
Digson, a dragon lich who has just been born for 3 months, has a bad idea to hit another treasure, the Dragonheart, after a desperate search for powerful power, after a hard search for dragon blood essence. But a level 12 dragon lich, placed in the underground world where there are many battles, it can't escape the fate of cannon fodder at the bottom. Therefore, he didn't dare to take the risk himself, and he was whimsical and spent a lot of money to issue a task in the Thieves' Guild to recruit mercenaries to steal the treasure.
To be honest, when the mission was issued, even the dragon lich himself did not think that such a thing would succeed. Therefore, after posting the mission, he went to the Windy City to practice, completely forgetting about this matter.
But when the incident happened in the east window, he heard the rumors, and then he knew that something was wrong. ran to the Thieves' Guild to inquire, and the task he posted was indeed accepted. Now he was completely numb, and he could only honestly run back to the master of the cemetery for help.
When Li Xun heard the news, his face instantly became colorful.
Sure enough, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
How did he come up with such a strange dragon lich under his command? The strange dragon lich did a strange thing, but the problem is that it has actually become! This result is even more bizarre!
Needless to say, this dragon lich named Digson was sent by Li Xun to the mage tower of Stratholm in the undead world, and he was not allowed to leave the tower until this matter was over. Stratholme is protected by the layers of anti-detection and anti-prophecy circles of the Mage Tower, which is not afraid of being discovered by those simple prophetic divination and prayer techniques.
Trying to eliminate the source of the dragon lich and cut off the cause and effect line, Li Xun began to seriously clean up the traces left by the dragon lich again. Fortunately, Digson was not stupid enough to leave something like his soul breath in the Thieves' Guild, but relied on a magic item as a token, so he was not afraid that someone would follow the clues to find the head of the cemetery.
According to Digson's confession, in the message left by the Thieves' Guild, he decided that the location of the transaction was Tiger City in the Taranta Plains. It was also the headquarters of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, one of the three major mercenary groups in the Taranta Plains.
However, there are also two questions: first, will the legendary thief come to Tiger City to complete this transaction? Second, will that legendary thief be able to come to Tiger City to complete this transaction?
The first question is that the Dragon's Heart is priceless, and the rewards promised by the dragon lich Digson alone are not even one percent of the Dragon's Heart's value. That thief would risk his life to trade for a paltry reward?
The second question was, even if the thief had kept his promise, how could he safely pass through the Eltien States and the Taranta Plains during these thousands of miles?
Therefore, there is no point in passively waiting, Li Xun ordered the bloody castle to fully monitor the latest progress of the incident, and at the same time quickly dispatched troops, preparing to deeply participate in this rare continental event.
……
A miserable night.
Cold winds.
Deep in the woods outside the town, two faint green human pupils suddenly lit up, reflecting the light, staring at the silent road into the forest for a moment.
Time turned and the stars shifted, and when the moon passed the middle sky and the light in the forest became more and more dim, a swift and ghostly figure suddenly flashed into this sparse forest.
There are only a dozen trees in this sparse forest, the thick one is hugged by one person, and the thin one is only the size of a bowl. But with the arrival of the sneaky figure, the lurker who was still looming just now has completely disappeared.
The latecomer lay silent in the glade for a moment but did not find anything unusual, and could only make a long and mournful cry similar to that of a night owl according to the prior agreement.
As soon as the sound fell, a low interrogation sound came from near him.
"Who are you? Why didn't One-Eyed come? ”
The voice was hoarse and low, not nice or unpleasant, but the location of the problem sound was so close to the latecomer that it really scared it.
The latecomer's body shook, obviously frightened, but he didn't turn around and turn back. Instead, he slowly raised his right hand and spread it slightly, revealing a strangely shaped mysterious badge in the palm of his hand.
It was a pattern of two pitch-black daggers crossed into a skull, which was not very exquisite, but it gave people a vague and strange smell.
As soon as this badge was unveiled, the latecomers could perceive it, and the trace of murderous aura that was staring at the back of their neck began to slowly withdraw. At this time, he dared to turn his figure little by little.
Less than 2 steps behind him, a tall and burly figure was hidden in the darkness, silently watching him. The latecomer couldn't help but touch his nose in confusion, can such a strong body become a legendary thief?
"Who are you? Why didn't One-Eyed come? The figure in the darkness continued to ask.
The latecomer scratched his head and replied distressedly: "I'm little Tony in Cook Town, and it's the lame Hannibal dad who entrusted me to connect with you, and he's not blind!" ”
After he finished saying this, the last trace of cold murderous aura disappeared.
"Hurry up if you have something to say! I feel like those people are chasing harder and harder! The Shadow said.
"Daddy Hannibal told me to tell you that you can't go to Hans anymore. The thieves' branch there was already under close surveillance, and most of the brothers had to be relocated. If you want to get to Taranta, you'll have to find a way to cross the blockade on your own! ”
"......" the shadow fell silent.
