Second epoch 378, late November.
With the arrival of the new year, the kingdom of Athens is also a busy scene. In the past, new year''s celebrations were mostly limited to the city of Athens. However, after Murphy unified the human city-state in the southern plain, the coming New Year''s celebration is an important festival for the whole mankind. After more than a month''s calm, the pain brought by the war is gradually fading. Time has such a magical power. As the Athenian army overthrew the rule of the aristocratic Parliament and strengthened its efforts to eliminate underground creatures, the situation in the whole southern plain began to calm down.
At least since the unification of Athens, there have been no underground creatures attacking human towns.
However, the wild is still a dangerous area. There are still many creatures and mutated beasts on the business roads. It will be a long time before we can really get through all the roads in the southern plain. With the continuous evolution of human beings and the mutation of wild animals, more and more Warcraft began to appear, killing a batch and then emerging a batch. At most, Murphy could only keep the official communication between big cities smooth.
Although it is locked in the strategic map of the auxiliary system of total war, Murphy can only wipe out a large number of creatures at most, such as a single fleeing creature, and can only issue missions to the mercenary union at most.
………………
"Still not found?" Murphy frowned, looked at the members of "dark night" and whispered.
Murphy has set up several spy organizations, and dark night is one of them. During this period of time, Murphy mobilized a lot of manpower to find the two maids and the damned Lina inBAS, but there was no clue. They seem to have disappeared out of thin air, but they have no news. How can Murphy not be angry.
Now if the legendary mage girl appears in front of Murphy''s eyes. It''s not just about learning lessons.
Murphy even had the heart to lash her!
"All right. You step back. Keep an eye on it. Let me know if you have any news Murphy waved, a little fidgety.
"Yes. Mr. Dagong, the man said goodbye and did not dare to say a word more.
As a spy, he has the instinct to observe what he says and what he does. Of course, he can see that the Duke is not in a good mood.
"Damned woman! Where on earth has he gone? " Murphy slapped the table bitterly. He said angrily.
Now, just as the new year is approaching, he is about to hold the coronation ceremony after the new year. He has no enough energy and manpower to find the two girls. It is not easy to find the legendary mage girl who has some brain problems. But whenever he remembered that his two maids had been abducted by the young master, he was full of anger.
"Your Highness, here comes queen Avena." Outside the door, the guard was careful.
Recently, your temper is not very good, although you don''t often get angry. But the look of his eyes still made them feel frightened.
"Queen Avena? Why is she here? "
Murphy frowned and said in a slow voice, "please let her in."
a little while.
The charming queen EVANA went into her study. She went to the governor''s house not once or twice. The guards in the governor''s house knew her identity. even to the extent that. Because her Majesty''s attitude is quite intimate with Murphy, she will not be stopped when she wanders in many areas of the governor''s house. After all, for these bodyguards, God knows if this gorgeous winged queen will become one of the hostesses here that day.
As soon as she entered the door, Queen Ivana saw Murphy''s frowning and displeased expression. She was slightly surprised, and then said, "such a fiery look? Who made you angry? "
"It''s not the fire girl!" Murphy got up and breathed a sigh of relief. In a deep voice.
Fire girl is Murphy''s private nickname for Lina inBAS. This legendary mage girl chooses the fire element specialization of the plastic energy department. The magic of fire, which makes one''s hand superb, has amazing destructive power! Maybe it''s also because there are too many fire elements. There are also some big nerves. The thinking in the brain always makes people feel strange!
"She? What happened to her? " Asked queen Avena.
Murphy said the whole story, and then said, "have you ever seen her?"
Queen Ivana shook her head, looked thoughtful, and then said, "but the purpose I''m here for today seems to have something to do with this."
"What''s the relationship?" Murphy hears speech a Leng, opening a way.
"What do you know about the other side of the karazan mountains?" There was a trace of sadness on queen Avena''s charming face, she said softly.
"I don''t know much. It''s beyond my control." Murphy noticed the sadness on her Royal Highness''s face and asked, "what''s the matter there?"
"Well. It''s a big deal Queen Avena said with a bitter smile.
Big deal?
Murphy was sitting in a tight seat, looking all ears.
Queen EVANA took a deep breath and said slowly, "on the other side of the karazan mountains, about 100 kilometers away, there is a natural cave, which is not deep. It is a forbidden area for the living. Even the most powerful underground creatures will stay away from it."
"Because there are a lot of poisonous gases. As long as these poisonous gases are exposed to a little Mars, they will turn into flaming flames and engulf everything!"
Murphy was shocked to hear this.
The first noun that popped out of his mind was actually natural gas!
There''s oil in the world, which is what people call "black oil". It''s a kind of naturally exposed oil. It''s very viscous. It''s a kind of asphalt. Since the world has oil. Then there will be natural gas. The cave in Queen EVANA''s mouth is probably a natural gas cave. Natural gas is poisonous. I''m afraid that as long as it''s a creature that needs to breathe and nourish its Qi, it can''t stand it.
"And then?" Murphy asked.
"Not long ago. There was a big explosion there. And then there was a big fire! " Queen Avena took a deep breath and said, "the fire there has been burning for more than a month, and there is no sign that it will stop!"
one month?
Can it burn for such a long time?
"There are no trees nearby, there is almost nothing to burn except the soil, but the fire has not been extinguished. It''s still burning. "
"The fire has attracted a lot of abyss demons, many little demons are there, and many intelligent species have begun to worship there!"
"The high elves also sent people to investigate several times, but the fire was so strong that they could not understand what was going on inside. Just wipe out the little demons there, and then close the area. "
"But now many intelligent species know it."
"There is a legend that there is a passage connecting hell, and the cave that has been burning for a whole month is the legendary gate of hell!"
——The gate of hell?
Murphy murmured, then said, "no way! Any connection across the plane has strong element fluctuations. I don''t feel any element fluctuations. It can only prove that there is only a natural fire! "
"But. What kind of fire will burn on land without anything for a whole month! " Said the queen slowly.
Murphy frowned and said in a deep voice, "I''m afraid it''s natural gas!"
natural gas?
Queen Ivana raised her head suspiciously, looking like an inquiry.
"It''s a kind of combustible air, and there''s a huge gas reserve under that cave. Natural gas is constantly flowing out from under the cave, so the fire there can last for a whole month Murphy explained a few words casually, regardless of whether queen Avena understood or not.
"But why hasn''t there been such a long-lasting fire before?" Then queen Avena asked.
Murphy thought for a while, sorted out the vocabulary, and said in as simple a sentence as possible: "in the past, there was not much natural gas that could leak, but after the big explosion you said, more natural gas was leaked. That''s why the fire there never goes out! "
The more we talk about this knowledge, the less clear it becomes.
This is the limitation of the times. Murphy didn''t explain anything more and said, "what does this matter have to do with that?"
"The fire there may have something to do with the fire girl in your mouth!" Queen Avena thought. He continued: "but I''m not sure! Because a month ago, she used to visit the karazan mountains a lot. Even with the queen Medusa who lives in the karazan mountains! "
What else?
Murphy, with a solemn look, asked, "really?"
"Yes." Her royal highness nodded and said, "that queen Medusa is too dangerous. So I had to send someone to watch her territory
"She? What do you want to do? " Murphy frowned and thought.
If she really caused the fire there, what was the purpose of her action, and why did she take her maid?
Did she remember something?
Murphy patted his forehead, but there was no way to connect it all reasonably.
But the amazing intuition told him that there must be something very important in it, which is pure intuitive perception. If you insist on saying something, it''s like predictive perception. This kind of ability was not obvious before, but after the recovery of divine blood, it became more frequent. He would feel the events that happened on the mainland several times.
"One more thing!" Ivana hesitated for a moment, and finally interrupted Murphy''s meditation. She said with a heavy expression: "the abyss demons in many places nearby are moving towards there, and the demons seem to have found something special there. Fire is one of the powers of demons, many demons are not afraid of the raging fire! These demons are coming in an endless stream, and there are even some medium level Unicorn demons and so on. "
"The high elves are laying a defense line nearby! A group of Druids are also coming to try to put out the fire there
"The movement of those demons seems to be to continue to detonate the cave there, turn it into a real place of fire, and become the second outpost after mount modo!"
"Now, the situation nearby is very tense!"
Detonate?
When Murphy heard this, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
The demons of the abyss are limited by the plane law, so it is quite difficult to come to this world, but it does not mean that there is no way. For example, the demons detonated mount modo, which is an active volcano in the Yunzhong mountain range, and this really established a base in this world. Murphy doesn''t have to worry about it because it''s very far from the southern plains, separated by Orc empires, descendants of giants and high elves.
But if that cave was also detonated and turned into a place of fire, it would be really bad.
The kalazan mountains are not far from the southern plain, which is only one or two hundred kilometers at most. If it really becomes one of the outposts of the abyss demons, I''m afraid that the southern plain, the southern wilderness, the barren rock Highlands, the Sharma basin and other places will become dangerous!
Because they may be invaded by abyss monsters at any time!
But at this time.
**Shi Meilin walked into the study in a hurry. He couldn''t even wait for the guard to give a notice. He didn''t look at Queen Ivana beside him and said anxiously, "no! My Lord
"That Lina inBAS not only took Dingdang and Angela, but also secretly took the Dragon Crystal of the white dragon!"
"That dragon crystal is constantly releasing energy now!"
"On the other side of the karazan mountains!"
………………
Although Longjing has powerful energy, it is not easy to use it. The power of the dragon is too violent. If it is directly used, it will be immediately attacked by the powerful magic. It is not easy to make a staff from the Dragon Crystal, because making a staff is a very complicated and huge project. Especially when using the Dragon Crystal, it not only needs the corresponding precious materials to carry and transmit its great magic, At the same time, we also need to carve countless complex and mysterious arcane magic patterns!
The staff made of Longjing is absolutely a legendary weapon!
And the time it takes to make such weapons is definitely not just one day or two.
So.
Although Longjing has been taken out all the time, there is no way to use it, because there is no other precious material, so there is no way to start.
But!
Just today.
The two magistrates suddenly found that the Dragon Crystal hidden in the alchemy room all the time was a fake one. What they put there was just a lifelike mountain crystal! The crystal is as like as two peas, which are accompanied by the superb arcane runes, which make the wave and the appearance of them look exactly like the Dragon crystals before. Fortunately, master Meilin was a cautious man. After he got the Dragon Crystal, he marked a hidden magic mark on it.
As long as anyone extracts or mobilizes the energy in the Dragon Crystal, the mark can tell him the specific location.
Just now!
**Shi Meilin suddenly felt a wave of magic mark coming from the other side of the karazan mountains. Then, in a daze, he found that the Dragon Crystal in the laboratory had been quietly switched!
