Destroyer of Ice and Fire
Chapter 112: Where Dwarves Bury Bones
The darkness before dawn covered the Windy Canyon.
This is a necessary path to the southern wilderness, although at any time in history, the southern wilderness, which is about the size of the five Archie kingdoms, has no human settlements at all, nor any glorious ancient country. Even some of the earliest Beastman tribes do not like the mediocrity and desolation of the wilderness, they prefer a wilder and harsher environment, they like those giant beastmonsters and poisonous warcraft jungles.
There are always dwarfs and sperm tribes in such lands. Most of these dwarfs and sperm tribes are uncivilized, isolated, and have deliberately hidden their tracks because of their natural fear of the outside world. They are as barren and stubborn as the wilderness and breed on the basis of some simple cultivation and collection.
But it is worth mentioning that once there was a goblin called the Moro, but they were born with little caution, they did not organize large merchants to trade, like the earliest human kingdoms, but they swam to remote corners of the continent with willow backpacks and leather bags, and they built a gorge store in the oldest retail way.
The total stock of each item in these goblin shops is small, because old manpower alone makes it impossible to move too much stock, but the variety of items has been very heavy, basically every person can bend over and walk in, it looks like they can only have one bed, a few shelves of wooden houses, but there are thousands of different types of goods. From lizard teeth to strange candies to high-end specialty magician gems.
Even in the most troubled years, the footprints of this goblin tribe are found in every corner of the continent, even in the most remote deserts, in some indigenous tribes, in the monster jungle, where some animals can survive.
Lantern Grass Town is just a briefly popular era for swindling astrology on the continent of Doraster, a small gathering point built around a famous astrologer, one of only a dozen different types of shops and hostels.
“The Evil Dragon Apostle is the unified name for the worshippers and followers of evil dragons on the continent, and the great attraction comes from the power of the Evil Dragon bloodline. ”
Garland guided Erin and Moss through a forest on a hillside to set up some warning traps while continuing to answer some of the doubts of the two.
“In a true sense, the Evil Dragon Apostle who received the blood of the Evil Dragon was killed at the end of the Evil Dragon War when Ned, the King of Evil Dragons, was killed. He unleashes his own surgical particles and blood binding products, which are peculiar particles that allow the absorber to get some of his blood gifts. Then many people discovered that his evil dragon bloodline could be inherited in this way without the need to inherit a sacred object. And all who get the blood of evil dragons have a powerful gift and power… Ned, king of evil dragons, was able to lead many giant dragons in those days because his blood is the strongest of all giant dragon blood. And most importantly, evil dragon blood also has the power of 'filth'. ”
“They concentrate their life essence with surgical particles and blood veins and are able to pollute the blood of other surgeons, which is the most powerful poison for other surgeons, so the surgeons who chase them often die under the means they share. ”
“According to current information, the dragonists have established a secret camp in a valley at the southern end of the Dragonbreath Mountains. The southern tail of the Dragonbreath Mountains and the straight line of our Saint Lauren is closer than that area to many parts of our kingdom of Archie, but we happen to be two protrusions that extend into the southern wilderness and come straight across a large unknown wilderness, so the Evil Dragon Apostles were previously operating in several cities close to the end of the Dragonbreath Mountains, and there has never been a trace of Evil Dragon Apostles on our side. ”
“Because of some evil dragon blood, you can change from being the most mediocre magician, to being a genius like Stingham, and possibly even get some powerful technical skills taught at the evil dragon camp. So, tempted by this pure power, many corrupt magicians forget their belief in the peace of the continent and choose to serve the Evil Dragon Apostle, thus obtaining the blood of the Evil Dragon. ”
“In order to gain the recognition of the Evil Dragon camp, they can even kill their relatives and friends and assassinate those who guard the kingdom but are perceived by them as the most threatening to them. They are the most heartbroken, corrupt people who trample on their beliefs. ”
“We will fight forever unless all our enemies have died.” Mosmo remembered this phrase, which he saw on the walls of a courtyard at St. Dawn's College.
“In order to gain strength, one can kill one's own relatives and friends and the sorcerer who guards the peace of one's home. In the future, I must become a combat magician and fight these people. ”
Moses suddenly felt that his life made more sense.
“What's wrong? ”
Gaylan suddenly felt something strange about Erin in front of her.
“I don't know. This canyon looks a little weird. ”
Erin frowned and looked at the canyon ahead.
The canyon is one of those extraordinarily wide canyons, which corresponds to a plain between the two mountains. They're in the middle of the canyon, on a higher slope, but even so, in the bright light, you can't see the end of either side of the canyon.
The wind blew from the direction of the southern wilderness, giving the unimaginable feeling of being particularly desolate and terrible, and the wind sounded like a whimpering voice.
“It's like some legendary land of dead souls, giving people a sense of ghosts floating in the wind.” Erin listened to the wind and told the truth about her feelings.
“What's the difference between the canyon plain here and the canyon plain we passed when we rushed here earlier?” Garland asked.
“No tall trees.” Erin immediately saw a difference, and in the same region, elsewhere in the canyon plains, at least many tall trees would grow, forming a lush jungle, but the canyon plains in front of him were low shrubs and weeds.
“This was originally a mountain dwarf colony, with more than 30,000 mountain dwarves living in the valley.” Galan took a deep breath and said softly, "Once upon a time we were on this hillside, they built a barrel-shaped wooden house where they lived, and down here in the canyon plain, they buried a lot of stones that were transported from the riverbed evenly, in order to prevent the growth of bushes that affected their crops, and they planted a kind of rice as staple food in the soil between the stones and the stones. They spend a third of the year baking bread and winemaking. But in the late years of the Great Dragon War, when an army of evil dragons broke out and attacked St. Lauren, they also slaughtered all the hill dwarf tribes here. ”
“This is where more than 30,000 mountain dwarves bury their bones. So in many books, this Windy Canyon is also called Dwarf's Tear Canyon. ”
“Is it precisely because of these tragic stories that so many magicians have sacrificed their lives to fight to prevent them from happening again?” Erin imagined the scene here, took a deep breath and flashed this thought in her heart.
The sun gradually poured down the wind canyon, and the whimpering wind seemed much smaller.
After a brief alternating break, Erin and Moss began to seriously ambush and watch, feeling sleepless and tired because of the excitement of freshness.
Because, according to the information, the opponent is only a magician who opens two surgical doors, Garland will only look out for guidance in the course of the mission and will not do so unless there are special and unexpected circumstances.
“Come on, show up! Come on, show yourself! ”
Erin kept whispering in his heart and couldn't wait for the magician to show up in the canyon in front of him.
“Why has he still not arrived? ”
Given the release of such a task, it is clear that some of the previous teams of probing magicians have already made a precise judgement as to the whereabouts of the magician. But what was against my will was that I didn't see the magician until noon.
“Wait another hour. If the magician doesn't show up an hour later, the task will change to Red Stone Village for the next one. Akashi Village is not too far from your town of Cololin.” Galan's silence soothes two already somewhat impatient freshmen with only Erin and Moses' lucid whispers: "Accidents can occur on any mission, but you must remain calm and patient enough in any event. Especially this kind of ambush, even if the other side changes, if it doesn't pass from us, there will be other teams of magicians to deal with. ”
“As a matter of fact, although the enemies targeted should be very difficult to escape, we have no reason to fight this battle without spending time with us.” Moses prayed constantly in his heart.
But his prayers didn't seem to do much good.
An hour has passed and no magician has passed in the canyon.
“Ambush mission cancelled.” Galan put away the small clock hourglass, "now ready to go at full speed...”
“Teacher Garland, wait! ”
But at this moment, Erin suddenly looked serious and shouted softly.
“What?”
“I smell food.” Erin looked at Garland and said in a lower voice.
“Where is it?” Moston's nervous vest was all cold sweat.
Windy Canyon is usually rarely passed, and now this creates a food scent, most likely by the magician they're waiting for.
“Let's do it! ”
Galan did not hesitate at all, but nodded at Erin.
