Chapter 151 Re-employment of retired workers
It was a grey sky, and the air smelled of sulphur and dust, which made it feel very uncomfortable.
But when I stepped here, the subtle sense of otherworldly things before disappeared without a trace, perhaps because this was another otherworldly realm.
When I got off the boat, the ground I stepped on was warm and soft, like a soft collapse that was too warm, and if I wasn't careful, I could sink into it.
But even the most lame mage can feel the huge elemental power under his feet, although the quiet flow is like an undercurrent under the ice, but once it is ignited, it is a terrifying deterrent that is enough to blow the entire mountain range into the sky.
Putting on his gray-black cloak and laboriously pulling his feet out of the mud, Rorschach turned his attention to the endless otherworld.
The expected village was not visible, it was a rolling volcanic field, with gray-black mountains stretching to the end of the horizon.
The further you go inside, the more scorching it becomes, and the more bizarre the appearance of the ground, where magma flows, and hot bubbles emerge from the boiling undercurrent, and lizard-like deformed creatures wander in it, but they are not pure life...... From a mage's point of view, this is a preference for the fire elemental plane.
"Volcanic giants? This is the god of flames. ”
Rorschach's plan was probably going to be rewritten, and the area was beyond what he had imagined, with twenty or thirty giants.
The fire giants who came out of the magma pool were at least six meters tall, and the skin of their whole bodies was like some transparent rock formations, and there was still magma flowing faintly on them, as if the blood of life.
At first glance, they were born with unparalleled powers, thick skin and flesh, and then they were also clad in glass-like armor, carrying huge throwing spears and rock shields, and in that sense, they were long-trained soldiers and not civilians.
"........What kind of village is this, it's obviously a country of volcanic giants. ”
But when you think about it, it's a no-brainer.
Big fish will not maintain friendship with shrimp, and those who can make these Ash gods regard them as allies or even support them must have a certain strength.
In front of Rorschach's eyes, it was a city fortress that the New Tonia City might not have fought in an all-out war, but along the way, the other church descenders, perhaps, this is the small village they have in mind.
"....... isn't this a bit fast?"
"No, the last time I came, it was only a few hundred people from a village, and their chief advanced successfully?"
But it seemed that from the conversation in the headphones, it seemed that only Rorschach was thinking too much, and the situation in front of him was that even the Advent who had come before was surprised.
It is worth mentioning that due to the presence of Rorschach, even in this area far from the world of Ash, the Adventists still established a real-time communication system and formed a temporary command department.
Just this function has allowed Rorschach to suffer six poaching and two beauty tricks in less than three days, which is still the moment when everyone knows that he is basically impossible to be poached.
Perhaps, the more senior the Adventist, the more he attaches importance to this seemingly useless logistical ability.
"Are they going to put this lineup on us?"
"Giants still have so many flowery intestines? ”
"Don't underestimate the Aborigines, this is the biggest takeaway from my thirty years of experience as an Adventist. ”
"Yes, whoever stipulates that giants are simple-minded, fairy tales are better to say less than two sentences, as far as I know, high giants such as cloud giants and lava giants are naturally wise, and they have the same inheritance of knowledge as the dragons......."
As a transit point for the contact system, a lot of discussion has passed through Rorschach, and while feeling that these bigwigs are not much different from themselves, Rorschach also has a lot of inexplicable information.
"Martha, did you have any contact with the giants here? ”
And listening to this rather familiar name, as well as this old acquaintance not far away, Rorschach sighed a little in his heart.
"Our people should not have established contact with them before, even if their ancestors had communicated with each other, such a huge size should be recorded. ”
"So, is it possible to conclude that these giants cannot leave this area, cannot leave their Titan realm.......
Elder Martha, the former spiritual leader of the Seymour people of the Wasteland, is now a special expert on the Eagle's Crown and a member of their team.
Before the construction of New Tonia City, she had taken a back seat, but later came out of the mountains again due to that series of troubles to help stabilize the situation.
After that, the loss of the entire Holy Mountain made the Great Migration happen, and most of the Sacred Mountain Ximo people and Wasteland Seymour people had to choose New Tonya or Horn City.
In the midst of the chaos of times, she found the Play Church, which in her opinion was probably the best option at the time.
At the same time that some of the forces of the Holy Mountain were integrated into the game church, she also put a lot of effort into it, and when everything was stable, she still chose to enter a semi-retired state, and her heirs were probably that Xia Martha and Luo Wanna.
From another point of view, the legacy of the Holy Mountain and the people were finally divided into two, and there must have been her decision, after all, considering the future and fate of the race, it seems natural to bet on both ends under the premise that conditions permit.
And the situation in New Tonya City is also changing day by day, it turns out that although the game church is not the strongest force in the city, it is not only the advocate of the alliance, it has the political and nominal initiative, and its strength is not weak.
But with the entry of the big fish, no matter how expansive the development of the game church is, it can't compare to these hundreds of thousands of subordinate bosses with a hundred years of history, and the real leaders of New Tonia City are still the top bosses on the board of directors of these twenty people.
Those large churches are actually not very rare for local Seymour to join.
After all, they already have their own large cities, as well as their own local ethnic groups that have been cultivated and integrated for decades and centuries, and absorbing outsiders to re-cultivate not only consumes a lot of resources, but also has the feeling of grabbing (junk food) with "children (small and medium-sized churches)".
When the immediate boss doesn't even remember your name and face, but he still knows your life and death, and you still don't know him well and don't know his preferences, anxiety is already a very restrained emotion.
Under such circumstances, Martha probably couldn't sit still, so she found these bigwig churches.
As the oldest of the wastelands, Martha's knowledge and connections are the greatest treasures, and those great gods also need the help of the leading party.
In particular, the elders of this wasteland have too much help and possibilities for the exploration of this wasteland.
It was natural to hit it off, and the retired old workers were re-employed.
But when she first met Martha, Rorschach didn't recognize anyone.
When we met half a year ago, Martha had aged to the point where it was natural to die at any time, and her spirit was even more amazingly poor, and it seemed that the decline of the situation and the death of her old friend had drained her last strength and spirit.
Therefore, when she resigned a few months ago, no one stopped her at all, and everyone knew that her time was running out.
But when I saw it this time, it was a thirty-four-year-old lady, and although she had crow's feet on her face, she was still handsome, and if it weren't for the familiar broken horns, Rorschach wouldn't have believed it.
"....... they're really willing,"
For a long time, Rorschach only squeezed out this sentence.
"Actually, I can't believe that there is such a magical treasure in the world, and it is still used on my bad old woman, it is really a tyrannical thing. ”
In fact, the Crown of the Eagle did come at a huge cost.
What? You can't move anymore when you're old? The Fountain of Youth, help you be a hundred years younger.
What? You feel like you can't keep up with the times? We have a knowledge base that goes straight into your head and accelerates your learning.
What? You think you're too weak? My lord has given you divine powers, let you be a god, at least let you reach the combat level of a fifth-order professional.
But now, the investment has paid off.
