Chapter 34: Morrigan's Heart
In the previous life, since it was half a year after the Cataclysm when the players entered Fernan, many forces had already recovered from the Cataclysm.
At that time, the control of the Steel City was an organization called the [Dream Scorpion].
It sounds like a good name, but it was founded by a gang of bandits in the northern valleys of the Iron City.
There are no wizards in this group of bandits, and the leader is quite strong-willed, and he is a well-known mercenary in a certain northern city-state.
Later, it was said that he had committed a crime and had to flee to the south, but he also pulled up some men and horses to do some robbery business.
It's just that his methods are very ruthless, not only robbing, but also killing people without leaving a living mouth, rape * adultery * captivity * plundering all kinds of evil.
Although it is not a legend, it also has the strength of a quasi-legend.
Under his rule, the bandits who had lost their minds due to the magic of chaos were all killed on the spot.
In this way, although their group lost some men and horses, they did not hurt their vitality much.
After the cataclysm, little by little, they cleaned up the monsters and demonized wizards near the valley, and somehow, it seemed that they were supported by some mysterious power, and actually became the masters of the fat piece of Steel City.
Marven is not very familiar with this background, because when he passed through the era of the Steel City, the players had already destroyed the [Dream Scorpion], and several unions divided the resources of the Steel City equally.
……
It's just that Marven still watched the video of the union copy war at that time.
As a professional gamer, he's very obsessed with these things.
And it's in that video too. He learned the most important location in the City of Steel!
Indeed, the Iron City is rich in weapons and has several arsenals. But in fact, there is only one place, and at the same time there is a huge stockpile of food and sophisticated military weapons!
It was an underground fortress called the Heart of Morrigan.
Morrigan was the name of the original lord of the City of Steel.
The lord of the city had a foresight and left a place of refuge for the descendants of the Iron City early on.
Due to the peculiarity of the Iron City, most of the residents of this place are soldiers and military families, and civilians are not allowed to enter it. And the merchants did not have the right to spend the night in the city.
It is one of the most important military towns in the Southern Wizarding League.
There are many wizard towers in the city.
It's a pity, and because of this, the disaster that broke out in the City of Steel. More terrifying than anywhere else!
Today, the city of steel is in ruins.
But Marven guessed that Morrigan's heart was still good!
The weapons in there are not ordinary military weapons, it is said that there are many military-grade alchemy materials and magic weapons!
The Southern Wizarding Alliance has been accumulating savings for many years. Strength is not as simple as it appears on the books.
In fact. If it weren't for the collapse of the cosmic magic pool, the wizards themselves couldn't bear it, even if the gods invaded, the alliance might not be without the strength to fight!
……
While thinking like this, Marven kept stealth, quietly opened the sewer gate, and got in.
Squeak squeak!
Two huge rats rushed past Marven's side.
It's just that Marven's stealth is very high, and these monsters don't notice it at all.
"Huh?"
A look of surprise appeared on Marven's face.
"Anyone?"
His perception is very acute, and the sound in the sewers travels very far. He heard footsteps!
Could it be that someone has found Morrigan's heart before they do?
Marven frowned. I didn't think much about it at the moment, and directly accelerated my pace, while maintaining a hidden posture and moving forward quickly.
……
The sewer road leads in all directions, and the smell of decay permeates the space.
In the ditch on the side, there are a large number of dead rats, and occasionally wild cats, geckos, and the like.
The whole gutter is stinking.
Marven followed the route in his memory, turned around, and finally came to the entrance of Morrigan's heart.
It was a secret door.
Only those who have the key can open it.
However, by this time, the secret door had been opened!
Sure enough, someone took the lead.
Marven was not in a hurry, and walked in slowly.
As soon as he entered, he saw four sturdy men standing there, holding large knives, looking extremely fierce.
Dream Scorpion!
Marven's heart sank.
How is this possible.
This group of bandits actually found Morrigan's heart in the first place?
According to the previous historical progress, they should still be clearing the civil strife in the cottage now, right?
How could it be so quick to have the time to have the forces to free up their hands to covet the weapons and food of the Heart of Morrigan?
Marven was puzzled.
However, the four men in front of him are definitely the people of the dream scorpion, there is no doubt about this.
They have the unique logo of the Dream Scorpion on their bodies, and they are quite murderous, and they are ruthless at first glance.
Although the strength is average, it must have experienced a lot of bloody battles.
To survive is to say a lot.
They guarded the entrance to Morrigan's Heart, and one of the bandits actually held a precious gem of true knowledge in his hand, and took it out from time to time to check for invisible units.
It's a pity that Marven's sneaking can even hide it from the Heavenly Insight Envoy, and he doesn't care about a small gem of true knowledge.
……
Directly bypassing the four bandits at the door, Marven drove straight in, dodged a few obvious traps, and soon, he arrived at the hinterland of Morrigan's heart!
Contrary to his expectations, it was not a group of people entrenched here, but two forces!
One of them, by their clothing, can tell that they are the people of the dream scorpion, that is, the gang of bandits.
On the other hand, it seems to be in a vulnerable position, and most of them are elderly, women, and children.
There were only a few young people in the prime of life, and judging by their standing posture, they should all be soldiers.
The two sides seem to be negotiating.
Marven's heart moved, and he slipped over to eavesdrop.
……
"Semar, don't be insatiable."
On the military side, a middle-aged man led by him said in a deep voice: "We are still under the same conditions, and the weapons can be divided into one-third of yours." ”
"The true treasury of the Heart of Morrigan requires a wizard to open, and all we get is a normal weapon for self-defense."
"In this situation, we humans are still killing each other and it is over. That's why I'm willing to give you the weapons. ”
"But food, absolutely not!"
The man said categorically.
The group of people behind him all showed resolute looks, and even had a feeling of seeing death as home.
The man named Semir was obviously the leader of this gang of bandits.
He smiled and looked at the young girls behind the soldiers:
"You're right, we have to work together for the sake of human reproduction."
"In this case, I want half of the weapons, and you can give me a third of the food."
He chuckled softly:
"By the way, the girls behind you are good, they are all suitable for childbearing, there are no women in our cottage, you divide a few of us, it is also for the sake of all mankind......"
