The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 208: The Dead and the City of Sand

“The mystery of the element bits? I don't know, why don't you go to the magicians and ask for information. So surprised to do something, I don't know anything about Ayer. I seem to know a lot just because I've lived long enough. The history of the four element bits is even longer than the master bits. Ash, the goddess of creation, built on them, the whole surface, I wasn't even born, so how would I know? ”

When I asked about Ayer's mysteries from ancient times, I got this answer, and when I talked about the goddess of creation, the apathetic reaper in black was filled with memories and perseverance.

“As for the gods of the four elements, they are only loud, they are in fact warehousekeepers appointed by the Goddess of Genesis. With Ash's authorization, they did master some of the facade rules, but they definitely did not rule that facade. Oh, no one could rule that, otherwise he would rule a quarter of the world and life. ”

And the information I checked elsewhere (Margaret's Friendship Dedication) also proved the authenticity of the Ayer word, the most obvious proof is that the four-element god still exists when sealed. If the elemental god falls, within hundreds of years, a nascent elemental god will pop up again.

Theoretically, Cynthia, the goddess of chaos, inherited this part of her power from her mother, Ash, who could indirectly control the world by controlling the four-element god, and Cynthia's will still affects these positions, so this position also favours chaos.

Unlike in the consciousness of most people, this is not a world with nothing but earth elements and wind and sand. On the contrary, as the oldest position, it is extremely rich in materials and goods, where all kinds of ancient species grow and thrive. Diamonds and rare minerals considered as rare world treasures are not uncommon. Buried beneath that ancient hill are rarities that other places will never find.

And the most inhabitants here, naturally, are also elemental creatures such as earthly elements, but unlike those in the main plane, elemental creatures here are not used to humans, they are strangely shaped, strange, they have the appearance of giant dragons, there are common stone giants, there are giant crabs and other insects, they mostly choose to imitate the strong presence they have witnessed.

Though almost enormous in appearance and variety, one thing goes the same: their bodies are at least partially elemental, and they can swallow each other's evolution into stronger beings.

It is said that Ermderoken, back then, was also evolved by a weak rock giant, and because of the high concentration of elemental forces, the body parts of elemental organisms here are also very good magical materials.

Where there are interests, there will naturally be intelligent creatures, where there are great interests, and naturally there will be gold diggers who are not afraid of life and death. When these "administrators” of the gods of the elements are sealed, the positions of these elements can be invaded in countless ways if the doors are opened, and many forces have established their own positions in various positions of elements.

In an area called the Carol Hills, Ein Rodant, the land of magicians, was sent to the site of the earth's elements, and hundreds of magic towers and magic devices built defensive fields. That dark purple semi-circular magic shield prevented the wind and sand from abusing the town of Carol and made it the largest exotic inhabitant of nearly thousands of miles.

Walking in the streets of Carol, all races can be seen everywhere. Although most of them are still common races, such as humans, elves, and animals, and there are many demons in the lower realm, they can even see the organs of different worlds, morphemes, and, of course, not less than the geotechnical merchants that are there, one of them is the rarest, but the most difficult elemental ethnic group to see in the main realm.

Their causes are complex, some of which are descendants of a high-order elemental organism and ordinary life, and some of which are elementarized by ordinary organisms at this site, but their most obvious features are their appearance, which is that the skin tone is often strange, the brown skin of the pit depressed, the scalloped red complexion skin, and many of them are embedded with various crystal blocks at the forehead tip, which are somewhat scary in appearance.

However, due to the elementarization of some parts of the body, they are also natural elemental magicians, with excellent elemental sensing ability, after a little training, they can become excellent elemental magicians, not to mention worrying about the dangers of being reversed by elemental magic and so on, and grow extremely fast.

For the land of magicians, apart from the unique characteristics of this position, the sons of these elements are very good seedlings, and for the earthly magicians, the extremely high concentration of this element is also the best place to practice, plus various rare warcraft, how can you give up at will.

But lately, there's been some trouble here.

The god of earthly elements is back, and these uninvited residents are finally facing their returning homeowners.

Obviously, as the nominal owner of the world, Erm Dillocken, could never have lived in his own home with a group of uninterrupted visitors, and more and more local residents suddenly changed their attitude towards Carroll City and attacked the herd more frequently.

And the rise of the elemental tide and the return of the earth's elemental lord have also made the wind and sand more intense, and Carol's shield has consumed more than 150% of its energy over the same period last year.

“It's not a way to go on like this. ”

The spatial shackles of the earth's elemental facade are becoming stronger, and the magical energy required to cross the facade is increasing, while the input required here is increasing, and Etadia is also troubled as a native-born elemental ethnic archmage.

More than a decade ago, Joining the Land of Mages became a magician apprentice and now a gold-class archmage, Etadia has become familiar with the city, but lately he has been feeling more and more uncomfortable, as if this beautiful city of magical civilization was a constraint, and deep in the wilderness, a will is calling him.

More than just himself, more than a dozen young apprentices have disappeared into the wind and sand in the last three months, leaving behind only their magician's robes and staff.

“Ermdi Rocken? What a hassle. ”

As a gold-class magician, Etadia is definitely not a lonely rookie who can make such a huge impact on the entire earth's elemental landscape, and only the legendary God of Elements.

He can resist this call from the soul, but those rookie apprentices are hard to do, every elemental ethnic group is precious, so white loss is very heartbreaking, which is not the most troublesome, the previous two days, a magical apprentice actually crashed into the magic hub, intending to shut down the barrier launcher, is shocking.

“Hasn't the country responded yet? Send us at least a few archmages to control the situation. ”

“No, the kingdom of the Mage was in trouble, and the Bayer Empire suddenly had a small conflict with us, and the border involved most of the fighting forces, and I learned from my private channels that the water and wind elements were in similar trouble., and the transfer of the element bits becomes more and more difficult. I am afraid that our assistance will not only increase, but also decrease. ”

“If there is a problem with the existing position transfer, can we not use the sperm delivery system? They should still be able to use their space tearing device. ”

“A fixed failure rate of 20 per cent is too deadly, the transfer of goods is OK, and the transfer of organisms is too dangerous. Besides, those guys recently changed the rules, and they want us to buy ‘insurance’, or they don't give us shipping, and if they lose it, they don't pay for it. ”

“Insurance? What's that? ”

“It's the most popular thing in the sperm, as if the sperm of the underground world were coming out, that you pay him a deposit first, and if an accident causes loss, he'll pay you back. ”

“Isn't that a good thing? Then buy it. We didn't all admit it ourselves. ”

“The problem is that I didn't pay for it. Edward, the archmage in charge of the transmission, was choking. ”

“Why? Didn't the goblins talk about good faith? ”

“He said that we had stored special magnetic energy items in the cargo, which affected the transmission, and that this was a failure caused by our man-made operational errors, and we were also asked to compensate for the loss. ”

“What the hell, if a special prop can't be conveyed? If you fail, what's next? I don't suppose Master Edwin will ever speak to each other again. ”

“The second time we had bad luck, we had a space storm and we lost half our supplies. ”

“This time it's time to pay. ”

“No, there is a supplementary clause in his insurance contract ‘No compensation for losses caused by force majeure’, and the transmission error caused by a natural disaster such as a space storm is counted as force majeure. ”

“What else do we buy that insurance for? Isn't that the pit man? Isn't that what we're trying to convey? ”

“... yeah, we ate the loss to know that in order to compensate for the conveyance loss, we actually had to buy a special 'conveyance loss insurance', and as a result, the third Master Edwin simply signed all the additional terms. ”

“Don't tell me it's been pitted again? Could the goblin actually tear up a commercial contract? ”

“... the space tear device actually exploded this time, so we know that in this case, we have to buy the ‘accidental explosion insurance', or we won't pay for it. ”

“Buy it, buy it, buy it. ”

“But the problem is, that ‘blast insurance' is more expensive than all the other insurance policies combined, but the goblin stuff, as you know, doesn't protect that blast insurance is uninsured. Master Edwin had a stroke on the spot.....”

With a long mouth, Etadia didn't say anything, but it wasn't over. The Master's apprentice could not help but smile.

“Weren't the goblin merchants in our city learning the same trick, the take-off of all kinds of insurance, and the disappearance of a lot of elemental people recently? Those guys also run personal accidental disappearance insurance, specialize in young apprentice signatures, and declare disappearances, and solve fears. ”

“... do they have any money? Don't answer that. I already guessed it. They're not paying for it! ”

“Your wisdom can illuminate the sky, yes, you fucking traitors, they don't have any copper plates! They actually need the applicant to claim the compensation themselves! This man is missing, how can he compensate them? “

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang behind his back.

“Hello, I am Amway Life. Do you know Amway? ”

Etadia turned around, a truly small goblin with a handbag full of smiles.

”Did you know? A recent gang of gang kidnappers has led to an upsurge in the disappearance of elemental people, but our Amway Life is particularly... not sure if you need that kind of insurance, if you're not satisfied."

“Get out!”

Etadia, traditionally known for being approachable, squeezed a roar out of her teeth, but the goblin salesman didn't mean to give up.

“Roll injury insurance? We have one too! Although for some reason this strange surge in insurance demand has recently occurred, the Guest is God! You roll, I'll pay! ”

-------------

Kaid, the epic archmage, is also full of worry in Carol City's Archmage Council, and as the highest-ranking archmage here, he knows far more than his men.

As a true top magistrate, the intelligence system of the Truth Master will not forget to give him a monograph. Naturally, the situation on the mainland has changed dramatically recently, especially between his own country and the Bayer Empire, and must not be described as a small conflict, or a new war if one fails to deal with it.

Domestic support is not forthcoming, and even worse environments are signalling the legendary threat of Ermdiroken, and there is a problem within the immediate future.

“Teacher, those goddamn goblins are getting too much, spreading rumors all over the place, shaking the people's hearts and minds and not saying anything. Lately, they have begun to soak up prices again, and the rich countries are in trouble. Otherwise, we are going to drive them away! ”

To that extent, Etadia, who is usually quite calm, seems to have gone too far this time.

“Then we can starve, and 70% of our business system here is in the hands of the magicians, and maybe you can teach us how to make bread with magic. ”

Another disciple, Solanto, remained calm, but the bitterness of the words made Etadia very uncomfortable.

“You find it difficult to deal with the sperm, just because your mind is too simple. ”

“Well, then our Solanto genius takes care of those greedy niggas. Okay, let's send you to talk to them about the recent increase in food prices. ”

“... Nor can I, but it doesn't mean that no one is walking. I recommend a man who can actually gain an advantage in the georgen negotiations. The georgen's contract is more than fifty seven or eight pages long, and the guy's contract * * is more than 800 books thick, so that he can talk and faint the georgen. Recently, he had made money exclusively negotiating with the goblins, and now whenever he appeared, those stingy bastards surrendered directly to the bottom line clause. ”

The words of Solanto surprised the other two archmages, who could talk about winning cunning goblins in commercial negotiations, were utterly incredible and incomprehensible.

“Is that the big businessman from there? ”

“No, it looks like a Ranger who came hunting, and the negotiations were just a by-product of an occasional return to the city, where he spent most of his time hunting outside, with poor strength, but good luck. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“He was clearly just a silver class battle. When he first entered the city, he was carrying a poison needle from the Imperial Scorpion. That was a powerful opponent that the Golden Top soldiers dared not face alone. ”

“Perhaps he's hiding his strength, not surprisingly, if he's out alone. ”

“That's what people thought at first, but the Archmage of the Prophecy met, and he was indeed of the silver class, but surprisingly, what happened afterwards. ”

“Hmm?”

“On his second return, he brought with him a crystal nucleus of the Earthly Elements Superintendent, which was definitely not something the Golden Class warriors could handle. And then every time he brought back more and more prey, the interval was shorter and shorter, and..."

Speaking of this, Solanto paused deliberately and seemed to be hanging his appetite, watching both the master and the brother looking at him before he was proud to say.

“On his most recent return to the city, he brought back the heart of a second-degree evolutionary demonized mountain giant! ”

“The Demonized Mountain Giants need Gold Class Warriors to deal with them. If they evolve a second time, legendary tops are not necessarily enough! That's impossible! That's a qualitative change. In this environment, even I have to watch out for the powerful mountain giants. ”

This time, it was shocking to talk about Qaid.

“Does he have a team to assist? ”

“How is it possible to come in and eat meat and sleep on your own and let the whole team eat sand outside? Moreover, reconnaissance magic suggests that when he leaves the house, he rushes straight to a high-risk area, and most of his prey is frostbite and cutting injuries, which he should be an Ice Swordsman. ”

“Frostbite? Where this water element is nearly zero and the magical power of cold ice is drastically diminished, frostbite the soil element organism? ”

This is all the more true, but the Archmage Qaid has become somewhat interested in this legendary man.

“Arrange a meeting for me, I'm curious. What's his name, by the way? ”

“Roland, but his nickname seems to be Blackhand, ‘Blackhand’ Roland. ”

It was said that Qaid stood up suddenly, full of surprises and disbelief, but after more than a dozen seconds he shook his head.

“If it were him, anything could happen. Schedule me to meet him as soon as possible. Forget it, I'll see him myself, you guys come with me, maybe he's your teacher uncle! ”
