458 Crimson Ghost

As the head of the Thieves' Guild Division, the centaur Manita was very efficient, and she quickly sorted out the shopping list of the adventurers' camp where Rufa was yesterday.

And Gordon is more efficient. He just glanced up and down a few times, and then jotted down everything on the list. This made Miss Centaur look surprised: "Lord Earl, there are more than a hundred items on this list, and you have written them all down so quickly?" ”

"Yes." Gordon casually returned the thick stack of papers.

"My dear, these smart people are like that, making people both envious and jealous." The halfling said to his centaur lover.

"I've dealt with many mages, but there aren't many who have a memory that can match that of Lord Earl." The centaur said, "Then Lord Earl, I have some information here that will be of interest to you. I think you'd rather hear useful information about Mount Waisula than a needless compliment on your wisdom and ingenuity. ”

Gordon stretched out his hand: "Please speak, I'm interested." ”

Miss Centaur took out a milky crystal from her waist pocket. She held the crystal, which constantly released bits and pieces of energy into the air around her, and shook it back and forth on a tent curtain. Soon, those white particles of energy converged under the action of unknown forces, and finally formed a huge cross-sectional map of the interior of Mount Wesula with the curtain as the base.

"There's a lot of new stuff in the Thieves' Guild." Gordon said secretly.

After showing the map drawn by the magic spirit thread in front of Gordon, both Sour Pear and Nita had a smug expression.

"Although our guild doesn't know enough about Waisula right now. But such a map, in the eyes of those adventurers outside, is already a treasure worth a hundred gold. ”

Nita's pride does have a point. It didn't take long for the secret of Mount Vesula to be officially revealed to the outside world. When the adventurers were still in the initial stage of exploration, the Thieves' Guild was able to draw such a detailed map, and its intelligence gathering efficiency was indeed eye-catching.

However, the "detailed" Cheng dù of the map in front of me is only relative.

Compared to the detailed structure of the palace inside the mountain, which Gordon received from the god of knowledge, the map Nita showed was as rudimentary as a child scribbling on parchment with a carbon stick.

But this map. It's not completely worthless for Gordon.

The structural diagram he had in his possession was probably the original design of the Floating City that the god of knowledge, Ion, had obtained from some unknown ancient treasure trove of knowledge. Although detailed and accurate. But now it can only serve as a reference for Gordon.

In the midst of the fall disaster, the Floating City fell upside down on the Haiwen Peninsula, forming Mount Waisula. Such a huge upheaval will inevitably cause great damage and impact on its internal structure. Plus the passage of time. Erosion of the natural environment. It will also change the structure of the palace complex in Mount Wesula.

Therefore, the wisest choice is to combine the two maps for reference, and then choose the best route.

Unfortunately, although the adventurers were driven by wealth and legend to explore the depths of the Vesula Mountains, the ruins were not open for a long time, so they were truly discovered on the map. And there are not many places that are clearly marked.

"Now in the Vesoura Mountains. Basically, the situation is about 50 kilometers deep inward from the surface, which is about a day's walking distance. However, due to the complex and winding nature of the mountain roads, you may have to spend two to three days in the explored area. During this time, what you need to pay attention to the most is not the unknown enemies in the mountains, but other adventurers. ”

"I understand." Gordon nodded.

"In addition, there is some information that is not yet accurate, but is just unconfirmed gossip, are you interested?"

Gordon laughed, "Accurately extracting useful information from irrelevant rumors is what I'm good at." ”

Looking at the other party's eyes full of confidence, Miss Centaur said, "We, the Thieves' Guild, have divided the vast ruins of the entire interior of Mount Waisula into three parts according to the danger process. The first is the relatively safest green zone, which is the area where the route is detailed on the map. Most teams of adventurers with little strength will wander around the area once they enter the mountains, trying to try their luck - they can make a small profit if they can find a few gem crystals and pick up broken magic items from the Magic Empire of Netherduran. Or simply attack other adventurers, a successful robbery is a business with no money. ”

Then, Miss Centaur raised her arm up, pointed to the location of the middle section of Mount Wesula on the map, and said, "This block is the Yellow Zone." Even with the abilities of our Thieves' Guild, we can't map the Yellow Zone. Because most of the adventurers who can get here are of extraordinary strength, and they want to find truly valuable treasures in the Waisula Mountains, rather than wandering around the periphery like a scavenger. Therefore, these adventurers cherish the information of the Yellow Zone extremely and will not leak it lightly. The people I have now are only capable of the simple work of finding out the news in the streets and alleys, and I can't get enough of them if I want to send people deep into the yellow zone. This will only change if someone from the club is sent to specialize in exploring ruins. ”

However, although she didn't know much about the situation in the Yellow Zone, Miss Centaur did her best to gather some information that interested Gordon.

The traps set up in various parts of the Yellow Zone are far more dangerous and complex than those in the Green Zone. And there are many of the Great Arcanists of Nether, and even the Elemental Emperor himself, who still wander among the ruins of the ancient palace, faithfully fulfilling their duty of defending the long-lost zài.

Gordon had anticipated these circumstances. What really lifted his spirits was the rumors about the "Red Ghost".

According to some of the adventuring teams who have entered the Yellow Zone, there is a red ghost hovering in the depths of the Yellow Zone. Almost none of the adventurers who witnessed this red ghost were spared. The only survivors who escaped also all developed mental symptoms of confusion. The legend of the "Red Ghost" is also sorted out bit by bit by Miss Centaur from the nonsense of the survivors.

"You may think this legend is ridiculous, Lord Earl. However, the destruction of the two elite adventure teams of the Silver Eagle and the Rose Whip due to the Red Ghost is a real fact. The survivors of these two groups are now begging in the muddy fields outside the brothel. You must know that they used to be tenth-level high-level warriors who had awakened their powers, but now they are as worthless as corrupt mud. ”

"The Silver Eagle and the Rose Whip are both well-known teams." Knowing that although Gordon was knowledgeable, he didn't know much about the adventurer circle, so he explained to him, "These two teams are both powerful adventurer teams with an average level of ten members—especially the Rose Whip, which is composed of great beauties coveted by men. Wanderers of my level are not qualified to work as handymen in either team. ”

The team of adventurers composed of all beautiful women, just like the guild of all beautiful women in online games, is indeed a kind of storage zài that men will have hormones surging when they hear it. It is indeed a bit regrettable to think that a group of beauties have died in the depths of the dark and cold ruins at this time.

Seeing a certain glint in the eyes of the two men, Miss Centaur sighed and said to the female knight standing behind Gordon, "Alas, men, it's all like this. Girl, you'd better get used to it quickly, or the fire of jealousy will likely tear apart the relationship between the two of you. ”

"Miss Nita, you ...... You are mistaken...... I don't ...... the Earl," Sigrid explained in a shy whisper, as soft as a gently dripping spring.

Miss Centaur smiled meaningfully, not believing Sigrid's feeble explanation.

A young and powerful man, with power and ability, and a beautiful woman, goes on a trip that is easy to go - oh no, it should be a long and dangerous adventure, and the relationship is certainly not ordinary.

In view of the female knight in the form of the water element, the soft and shy appearance is really cute, so Gordon decided to appreciate it more.

Instead of explaining the relationship between the two men, he continued the topic about the "Red Ghost".

This ghost is not necessarily an undead creature, to be precise. It was only because eyewitnesses described its appearance as a red humanoid light and shadow that it got the name "Red Ghost".

Whether it is an undead, a spirit, an energy aggregate, an ordinary creature blessed with illusion, or even a spiritual projection of a powerful being, no one knows. The only definite fact is that because of the obstruction of this red ghost, no adventurer or mercenary group has been able to break through the Yellow Zone and enter the upper area of Mount Waisula, which is the most dangerous Red Zone.

Miss Centaur divides the ruins inside Mount Wesula into three areas, according to the danger process. However, Gordon, who has a complete internal structure of the floating city, has a different way of understanding it.

The Green Zone, the shallow underground structure of the Floating City, was originally used as a residence for the Elemental Emperor's servants, guards, and vassals, as well as a storage place for some minor materials.

The Yellow Zone is home to the functional buildings where the Grand Arcanists perform ordinary Arcanist practices, as well as the residence of various rare beasts and high-level constructed minions. In addition, the storage of more precious magic materials and powerful magic equipment is also located in this area.

And the most dangerous red zone is also the core area of the floating city. (To be continued......)
